THE COURr rs.
Supreme Court.

The State of Minnesota, respondent, vs.. Hank
Kobe. appellant
Opinion-An indictment for selling ferment-
ed and not malt liquors. The same objections
are made to the indictment as to that against
this defendant for selling spirituous liquors,
decided at this term. aud SO far as they are
concerned this case follows that.
Upon trial before q jury the court in the
charge used the following language: Il shall
not try many more cases of this character en-
less something comes of it." From this the
jury might infer that in the opinion of the
court there ought t. be conviction. II indi-
Gates an opinion Of the facts.
The statute. sec. IL, Oh. l12, provides that
the court in a criminal trial; if it presents the
facts of the case, shall in addition to what it
may deem its duty to say, inform the Jury
they are the exclusive judges of all questions
Of fact.
Under similar provision in regard to trials
If civil actions this court held in Caldwell vs..
Kennison, 3 Mimi. (GiI.) %, that for a Judge
IN his charge to express an opinion upon he
facts, is error, for which d new trial will be
ordered. In that case, "a in this, tho court did
not as the statute re 'uires, inform the jury
that they are the exclusive judges of the
facts"
That omission makes the indication of an
opinion on the facts error.

executive committee man at the fist precinct
Eighteenth ward. The election of 1878 was
the fairest we have had there. Colored men
that are known are not challenged. There are
some $50 of them. Probably rot one in
twenty-five challenged. They are treated about
hiring or buying members of the opposite
party to work and vote for them, but have no
personal knowledge of such cases.
Recess until evening. At the evening session
Michael Lawrence was the first Witness and
test,fed he was executive committeeman for
the Republicans in the Fourth ward. Was at
the polls alb ut eight hours. Did not see Fran
cis nor any of his men there that day.
To Mr.. McDougall-I was at precinct A.
Eph Hollands precinct. It was as quiet an
election as ever saw. There might have been
supervisors there, but if there was did not
know it, except the Republican supervisors.
Chs. Danna testified. Was Republican
executive committeeman at precinct g, Fourth
ward. Saw some of Frances men there, and
they told ne What they had been sent over for.
The election was more quiet than any ] ever
attended. The only trouble we had that day
was when q policeman pulled two men away
from the polls and clubhed them. There were
two supervisors there; also United States mar
shall, but he held no tickets.
j. A. Blinn testified he was q supervisor in
precinct A, Eighteenth ward. The election
was quiet, with the exception of one or two in
stances, where parties objected to my acting
assupervisor Alderman Kelly objected to M
acting. He is the same man who was convicted
of procuring illegal votes. He also objected
to my acting at the counting Of votes when the
count took place. It required combined
strength of five or six policemen and two dep
uty marshals to keep the crowd out.
E Loggin testified have resided in the Sixth
ward about sixteen years. Have affiliated con-
siderably with both parties and have voted
both tickets. Never belonged to any political
club that did not receive money. Belonged
friend of Milton Sayler although i was not
Democrat. We received money from him and
voted for him. Did not believe any members
of the club supported Sayler in 1873 when
published my card refusing to support him.

YOU NAUGHTY MEN.

I will never more deceive you, or of happiness
bereave you,
But I'll die maid to grieve you, oh, you
naughty, naughty men!
You may talk of love, and signing, say for us
you're nearly dying
All the while you know you're trying to de-
ceive-you naughty, naughty men!
When you want kiss or favor, you put on
your best behavior,
And your looks of kindness SAVIOR, oh, you
naughty, naughty men!
Oflove you set us dreaming, and when with
hope we're teeming,
We f1nd you are but scheming-you naughty.
naughty men!
If fortune we inherit, you see in us every
merit,
And declare we're girls of spirit-oh, you
naughty, naughty men!
But too often matrimony is a mere matter Of
money;
We get bitters stead of honey from you
naughty, naughty men!
And when married, how you treat us, and o.
each fond wish defeat us;
And some will even beat us-oh, you naugh.
ty, naughty men
You take us from our mothers, from our sisters
and our brothers;
When you get US, flirt with others-o oh, YOU
cruel, wicked men!
But with all your faults. we clearly love you
wicked fellows dearly
Yes. we dote upon you dearly-oh. you
naughty, naughty men!
We've no wish to distress you; we'd sooner fal
caress you!
And when kind, we'll say: Oh, bless you! oh
YOU naughty, dear, delightful men!

of the atlantic, appreciating the cir,
cumstances, released it to the author.
He received $500 in addition for the
use of it for public reading purposes
before it appeared in print. The Corn

line, and the Nineteenth Century paid
him $3.50 per line for "The Revenge"
Some of the best of Longfellow's earlier
poems were sold to GrdhGm's s Magazine
for small sums. Except the Knic6er-
booker, which did not pay much, and
for which Longfellow did not write,
there were then no other periodicals
which paid for poetry. The Boston
Miscellany, which Lowell edited, had
the disposition to do this; but it did
not live long, and had little means
while in existence. From $50 to 800
used to be paid men of established
reputation for anniversary occasions
when societies had the means. DR..
Holmes longest poems, "Urania, u
Rhymed LESSON" was given before the
Mercantile Library Association of Bos-
ton. He was at first not inclined to
write it, but was startled by the mag
uiiiccnt offer of 5000, and felt that he
could not afford TO neglect such an op-
portunity. 1t occupied nearly an hour
in the delivery. Longfellow and Whit
tier have realized considerable sums
from their poems in book form, max
ing probably more than do their pub
fishers. Longfellow's most profitable
book was " Hiawatha," which q con-
troversy between publisher and critics
gave an extraordinary sale on its first
appearance. Whittier's "Snow-Bound"
also sold largely, as did Longfellow's $
"The Hanging of the Crane" es-
pecially in holiday edition. Tcnny-
son received a very handsome sum
from his Boston publishers for his
"Enoch Arden" and his books sell
best of all in America, while it is said
that Longfellow's have the largest pop
ularity in England. The sale of
Holmes poems is considerably larger
than that of Lowelrs, but falls below
the sales of Longfellow and Whittier.

Those Awful Cows,

There probably isn't woman in
North America who isn't afraid of
cows, and there isn't COW in North
America which would harm one hair of
any woman's head if it had the best
chance in the world and no other Job
on hand. Wednesday forenoon stray
COW, perhaps from the country for a
taste of baled hay, found gate open
and entered a yard on Second street.
The woman came to the front door
dressed to go out, but seeing the COW
she uttered a scream and hurried back.
There wasn't thing in the yard for
the COW to damage or eat, and being
tired she raised her cud, lay down and
began to chew away as if she had got
home from long visit TO Europe. The
woman next appeared at side window
and called upon the COW to "git out
A dog might have "got," but the COW
didn't. Then the woman threw rag
at the COW and called for the dog. The
dog didn't come and the rag didn't
scare. Then the woman shook a pillow
~ thO Oo--r ~nd PerenAp.ovily 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 go, and as the
woman couldn't go till the COW did
sterner measures were resorted to. A
tin pan was held out of the window
and beaten with n spoon, but that 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 q
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 resorted to with.
out effect, and then the woman watched
at the front door till she saw a boy
come along, and she opened it and
cried out:
90! boy there's terrible cow in
our yard! Prop the gate open and get
all the boys and police you can and
drive her out, and III give you whole
quarter of dollar! Hurry up, for she
looks if sho was gotting ready tC
come right in herer'
The boy "humped'' the dangerous
animal out in thirty seconds, received
his pay, and the woman gave up going
down town for fear she might have /

Manufacturing Silver.

A correspondent of The Burlington
HdoOk-Ege tells a rather sensational story
of an alleged discovery of the artificial
manufacture of silver by DR.. I. Farriss,
Jr., of the Iowa Wesleyan University,
which carries one back to the days of
the old alchemists. DIR. Farriss, it
seems, when taking his class through
n course of instruction in the primary
chemical compounds, was in the habit of
setting aside the refuse waters, and one
day was startled by the unusual silvery
reaction which had taken place in these
solutions. This led him to investigate.
Result-the artificial manufacture of
silver, a business on which the Doctor
is said to have entered now on large
scale. OF course, details of the new
process are kept rigidly secret from the
scientific world, though credulous cap
italists may be attracted by the glitter
ing prospect just as they have been in
the past by Keeley motors and other
impossibilities.

A Large Bridge.

The largest bridge in Europe will be
completed next year. 1t will cross the
Volga in the Government of Samara,
Russia, ON the Siberian Railroad line.
The Vclga, at the point of the bridge,
is about four miles wide in the spring

ters thirty-five feet high, at a distance
of every 1854 feet. The ice cutters are
covered with granite The iron work
is from Belgium. A temporary colony
is established for workingmen employ
ed on the bridge; it occupies about fifty
five acres, and has sixty different build
ings, insured at 100000 roubles. Two
thousand men are employed, and among
them are 100 Italian masons. Three
steamers and seventy barks are used
constantly in forwarding wood, stone,
iron and other materials. The bridge
will cost 4,630,000 roubles, or about
81 300 600.
