The recent trial of Giovanni Dugi, at
Las Vergas, in New Mexico, before
Chief Justice Prince, was perhaps the
most polyglot affair since the last court
at Babel. Dugi, an Italian, was tried
for the murder of Buisson, a French
man, before an Anne lean judge and a
jury of ten Mexicans, one German and
one Hebrew. The witnesses spoke five
languages, and two interpreters were
necessary. Dugi was sentenced to be
hanged on Good Friday.

A Revival Of Business.

The New York World publishes letters
from every section Of the United States,
showing the condition and prospects of tho
busin So Interests of the country. All of
them indicate that the worst hus been ex-
pericncsd, and that there is revival of
every species of business. The World says,
"Our survey shows that spindlcs, looms,
work. shops of all kind arc at work all over
the country in the Spring Of 1879 as they
have not been for five consecutive years
before Capitol is more than abundant.
Of labor there neither is nor is likely to be
any luck" These arc cheering words, bu.
cheering s,thcy arc there is no reason to
believe that tho World has givon o; too
roseate hue to the picture. From the fall
Of 1873 to the fall Of 1873 tho progress of
the country was downward. During that
period there was almost universal suffering
The rich became poor and tho poor became
poorer. Values continued to shrink until
thousands of fortunes and completeness
melted away. Each year change for tho
better was expected, and each year the
times grew harder and harder At last it
may be said that the financial storm has
spent its force, and that fair weather has
set In. business last winter, while not by
any means good, was much better than it
was the winter before. The planters, as a
general thing, arc out of debt. and the pro.
vision crop is large enough to prevent much
of demand for Western supplies The
indications are that largo area will be
devoted to grain this yoar, and whiIo good
deal of cotton will be planted, cotton will
be almost wholly surplus crop. During
tho winter just past good securities of every
kind advanced in price and largo amount
of money sought investment. Money is
more plentiful and the late Of interest has
been lowered. Everything considered,
there is reason to believe that whilo there
will be the usual stagnation of business this
summer, the fall will show tho comm ence-
ment Of brisk and prosperous trade.

A Practical Joke.

JOE SKINNER was once the greatest
joker in Oil City, and one of his tricks
came near bringing on riot one day.
Joe was walking along Seneca street,
when suddenly he stopped and began
poking in the mud with his cane, at
the same time allowing his other hand
to slide over his shirt bosom as if in
quest of something which was there.
His movements quickly attracted a boot
black, who ran up and asked:
$ Lost suthin', mistery" and began
looking about.
Then came merchant and two
clerks of the store, and be-
gan looking up and down the walk.
A teamster jumped off bis wagon
and joined in. A barber remarked,
Was it your diamond pin, Joep'' and
this was caught up and echoed among
the crowd which had gathered, until
the story grew that . diamond pin
worth two thousand dollars had been
lost. The crowd extended until it
filed both sides of the street, and all
manner OF suggestions were made.
One man proposed to shovel up all the
dirt and mud and have it carefully
looked over. Another man said the
sidewalk ought to be torn up. A man
crowded into q place and trod on the
toes of another man, who gave him y
push. A blow followed and fight
took place, and in two minutes the
police were hauling man off to the
lookup, while Joe got outside the
crowd and laughed at his awful hoax
until the tears ran down his checks.
The search continued for two hours
