The superintendent of the cattle depart
ment of the St. Louis Fair Association states
that the exhibition of cattle will be larger
this year than ever before, and probably be
the largest ever held in this country. As early
as the llth stalls for the housing of $50 head
of cattle had been secured by parties intend
ing to exhibit next fall. None of these eN-
pected exhibitors were from the City or
County of ST. Louis, and there were doubts
as to whether there was enough shed-room
for the accommodation of all the cattle that
would be for exhibition. Among the cattle
for which stalls have been secured are sever
nj breeds from Continental Europe that have
never before been exhibited in the West.
-Four men, named Geek, Alva, Childers,
and smith, were on the 18th brought before
US. Commissioner Richardson, ut Carthage,
charged with selling liquor To Indians. The
attorneys for the defense made Il motion to
dllash the information on the ground that
the statutes did not forbid the selling of
whisky TO Indians outside of the Territory.
The argument on the motion lasted several
hours. Attorneys Robinson, Buler and
Thomas for the defense, and District Attor
ney Waters for the Government. Commits
sioner Richardson oyerruled the motion, de-
livering lengthy opinion in so doing. The
motion to uIash being overrIIled, the par
ties then waived an examination, and gave
bond in the sum of 400 each for theh ap-
pearunce at the October term of the District
Court The case against Childers, however,
was dismissed bv the District Attorney.
In the police court. The public
prosecutor, impeaching the character of

court: "As for this female, who has a

AS IT becomes evident that the vigil
,ance of Senator Blaine and the other
Republican leaders in Maine will thwart
the Democratic plans for stealing the
government of the State, the whole
Democratic press remarks with beau
tiful assumption of innocence: "Why,
bless your heart, we didn't intend to do
anything of the kind. What are you
making such fuss about?" Like a pro-
fessional burglar, who is caught in a
suspicious attitude near burst safe
with jimmy in his coat-tail pocket,
they are amazed that anybody should
suspect them of felonious intent. Also
like the burglar, they have no idea how
the jimmy got into their pockets.-N. Y.

THE brutal murder of John NJ. Arm
strong by Benjamin Hunter, a reputable
citizen of Philadelphia, in Camden, n
j., about two years ago, to secure insu.
rance money-Armstrong having had a
policy of insurance made out for $4,000
in favor of Hunter-is again brought to
the notice of the public in the shape OF
an insurance suit. The heirs of Mr.
Hunter have very naturally made nc
claims upon the insurance companies
but the heirs of Armstrong think they
have right to the money, although the
policy was made out to Hunter. Arm.
strong's heirs have offered proof of his
death to the New York Mutual and
Manhattan Companies and the Provident
Life and Trust, of Philadelphia, but
they refused to take notice of it. Several
new and important points are involved
in the case, and it will be the more inter
esting because crimes of this sort have
of late become quite common.

Rev. MARCUS ORMoND, U. 2. minis
ter living at Burgettstown, on the Pan
Handle Railroad, is suffering from a
very peculiar misfortune. He some time
ago met with the loss of his house by
fire, and his library was destroyed at the
same time This weighed upon his mind
to such an extent as to seriously impair
his mental faculties. He then became
ill of fever, his sickness lasting two or
lrthree months,s and when he recovered
I his health, he discovered that his mind
was blank and that he had lost all his
fine education, not even being able to
read. He could count and carry through
business transaction, but nothing
more. He is now endeavoring to regain
his lost knowledge by studying the al
phabet, commencing at the very foot of
the ladder of learning, as child would
dc.
The Cincinnati Commercial in refer
ring to the above, instances a similar
case and says:
Shortly after Mr.. Ben Pitman left
England, and had settled in Philadel-
phia, his wife, the late Mrs. Jane Pit
man, was attacked by a fever of severe
type, which affected the brain. On her
recovery the mind was as blank as Mr..
Ormond's. She could remember nothing
nothing of her past life, and very lit
tie, if anything, of the knowledge she
had acquired. This continued for some
time. She had, however, received very
good musical education, and was an ae-
complished amateur pianist.
One day she seated herself mechanic
ally at tie piano, and as mechanically
ran her fingers over the keys; as she did
so, the fingers caught up phrase OF
some composition which she had often
played: little by little it came back to
her. until the whole composition was re-
called to her mind, and almost simulta-
neously the veil that shrOuded her intel
lect was lifted, the memory restored,
though not fully, and the mind thereaf-
ter acted with complete consciousness.
The mechanical training remained in
the finger tips after the power OF mem.
ory had apparently been destroyed, and
and was the immediate means of restor-
ing it. Mr.. Ormond's ability to count
when all other mental functions seem
paralyzed, suggests possibility of res
toration if the process could be connect
ed with other associated ideas.

THE ceremonies of the unveiling of
Thomas statue, at Washington, on We'd
nesday of last week, under the auspices
of the Society of the Army of the Cum-
berland, bywhich it was presented to the
people of the United States, were very
imposing, and the event will mark an
episode i'm our career as a nation. The
pageant was really splendid one. There
was the pomp and glitter of war. There
were military and civic professions, ac-
companied by artillery and brass bands,
and an Grafton by Hon. Stanley Mathews,
which was elegant in diction-a master
piece of eloquence-and lastly, the un-
yelling of what is said to be the most
finished piece of statuary of the charac-
ter in America, and its presentation to
the people of the country and its accept
ance by President Hayes. The occasion
was a memorable one, which will ever
be pleasant recollection to the gallant
surviving veterans of the heroic army
of the Cumberland.
