against the government in the construction
of public buildings in this city, known as
the custom house cases, will be called in the
United States district court tomorrow.
Judge Dyer will preside. The indicted par
ties are Mueller, contractor, Mills, his clerk,
Potter and Hill, ex-supervising architects,
w. Burling, ex-superintendent, and Reed,
inspector. There is large array of legal
talent for the defense. The amount of
money wasted in the construction is about
100000 dollars. The press will print in
the morning statement of the excess in
the cost of stone cutting on the third story
and attic under Potter & Hill over the cost
of the first and second stories under Null
Ter. The cost of the latter was $3.50 per
cubic foot, and of the former $4.94, being
an excess of LA per cubic foot. Yet wages
were much lower during the stone cutting
in the upper story and attic. The net gain
by Mueller, the contractor, was nearly
$4,000 in this single item. The amount
of contractors commission on the first two
stories was $108, 900, on the third story and
attic $4,000, while the number of cubic
feet in the first and second stories is more
than donble that of the third story and attic.
It is understood the defense will first move
to quash the Indictment. The prosecution
admit the faulty construction of the indict-
ment, but think the motion can be defeated.

Advices from Mantorville, Dodge county
are to the effect that seeding is nearly COM
pleted, and farmers report the GROUND in
splendid condition to work, except for the
last few days, high winds and lack of rain
has rendered the earth too dry for grain to
sprout uniformly. The weather has been
warm, and, if the drouth is not of too long
duration, there is SO far nothing discourag
ing in the prospect for good crop, for the
dry weather has enabled farmers to get in
their grain in good shape, and early enough
for good yield, if other conditions are ia
v0raiole.

The BABY Monkey.
IPhiladelnhia 7 letter.

The mother sits meditatively in her cage, |
holding the little one tight to her whenever
she moves, and glancing around with quick,
suspicious chances at everything and every
body. Part of the time she will sit next to
the partition that separates her apartment
from the main cage, and call levee of her
friends, and as if to hold circle of admira-
ton. One large female mandrill will sit for
hours at the partition watching the little
one, and, with its puffed-up, purplish- black
cheeks, looks as If it were mourning in soil
tary widowhood and envying the happy
mother. Whenever she can reach Little
Buttercup the mandrill pokes it's fingers
luxury to touch the baby even, and gives
some shrill notes of satisfaction in doing so.
At one time the keeper, to show the affec-
ton of the mother for its young, and also
the communion of feeling between the whole
family, suddenly opened the door of Rosie's
apartment and reached in at the same time
saying sharply, 81 am going to take that
baby.'' The mother, as quick as lightning,
leaped to her feet, grasping the little one,
| and stood up in the farthest corner at her
full hight, at the same time raising one paw
as if to ward off blow, and uttering shrill
shrieks that sounded like ''Help! help!'
The effect was certainly remarkable, Be-
fore the cries were heard the whole family
we're engaged in running around, leaping
from rope to rope, and fighting with Eeach
other, as they will do. But no sooner did
they hear the calls than they all leaped to the
floor of the cage and formed circle around
the place where Rosie was, and stood in an
attitude of defiance, ready to attack any
thing.
''What would they do if you were to go
into the cage now?" asked a reporter.
"Do?" replied the keeper: ''they would
tear me to pieces. Whenever they hear that
cry for help they drop all quarrels and form
solid for attack" It was only necessary te
look at the flashing eyes and the teeth show
| ing to know that he was about right.
The mother is young monkey, not owe
} sixteen years old, and the father not owe
twenty three, and are remarkably fine speci
mems of their family. Except the little on
that was born last year, it forms about tn
sole representative of its race born in thi
country. It is much the more perfect of tn
e two, and bids fair to attain it's full growth.

Some forty years ago Governor William y
Palmer, of Vermont owned IA set of mills and
land adjoining Danvlle One season he plant
ed quite large piece Of potatoes on sad land
On his land, or near, lived an eccentric old
man by the name Of Miah Hunt, whom tho
Governor employed to labor for him occasion
ally. At the proper time Hunt, with others
was engaged in hoelng the potatoes. In the
afternoon the Governor made his appearance
in the field to inspect their work, and to sec
what progress they were making On looking
over the field he occasionally found row not
exactly right and inquired of the men which
of them hoed IT. With one accord 1t was pro
nounccd to be one ui Hunts. After cXamin
ing the work done, and finding many of Hunts
rows, the Governor went to the men, and called
Mr.. Hunt little aside; he approached the
Governor with fear and trembling, and SAID
They lie, Governor
i think So replied the Governor, but &C.
cording to their report think You have done
the largest share of the work, and here is u
dollar extra for you
Miah took it, and thanked him, much to the
,chagrln Of his fellow laborers. For years
Hunts rows were Il by-word in that vicinity.

perhaps from the country for IL taste of baled

on Second street. The woman came to the

COW uttered a scream and hurried back. There
wasn't a thing in the yard for Il cow to damage
or eat, and helng tired she raised her cud lay
down and began to chew away us If she had

called upon the COW to git out" \ dog might

man threw IA rag at the COW and called for the
dog. The dog didn't come and the rag didn't
scare The woman shook pillow at the COW
and peremptoriiy ordered her off the premises,
but the bovine half closed her eyes and let her
thoughts run ahead TO fly time
As the COW wouldn't 90 and rs the woman
couldn't go till the COW did, sterner measures
were resorted to. \ tin pan was held out of
the window and beaten with spoon but the
cow couldn't be fooled into believing that
Fourth of July had come. Then the woman
went into the back yard to throw clubs over
the fence and knock couple of horns off The
first one hit the window, and the next one
banged the blinds on the next house, and the
cows horns stuck tighter than ever. Cries of
git OUT" were again restored to without eff.
feet, and then the woman watched at the front
door till she saw n boy come along and she
opened 1t and cried out:

Prop TIE gate open and get all the boys and
police you can and drive her out, and I'll give
you a whole quarter of a dollar, Hurry up,

out in thirty seconds, received his pay, and the
