Rather Overdid It.

A Hebrew in Salt Lake City was SEN
fenced to three months in the chain
gang. After Il month was served he got
very tired of it and thought he would
try to get himself out. Learning that II
span of mules had been stolen he in
quired about the time of the theft and Il
descriptions of the mules, determined
that he would make use of this informa.
ton in order to regain his liberty. So
he sent for one of the police officers, to
whom he confessed having been guilty
of stealing the mules, and gave such IA
plausible account of the story that it was
at once given to the District Attorney
for use. Berger says he thought that
by this means an indictment would be
found against him, he would be released
from the city prison, Il trial would prove
his innocence and he would he discharg-
eel. He was right about the indictment, but
when it came to trial he was convicted
and sentenced to six years in the peni-
Tertiary. The moral of this, we sup
pose, is: Never confess any thing, es-
p .cially if you didn't do it.

The Great Goat-Jackass Suit.

That suit which is coming off at West
field, n. j., is rather Il sad affair. It
shows.the awful results of man 5 revenge
when he lets that fearful passion get the
better of him. From the advices at
present at hand it is impossible to say,
definitely, what Cassidy and Bende-
mecker quarreled about but it is enough
for our present purpose to know that
they quarreled. There is, however, no
doubt about the fact that Bendemecker
first gave way to that leplorable feeling
of vengeance that ultimately resulted in
the lamentable death of his own jackass
Bendemecker, with fiendish malignity
that we really did not think him capa-
BILE of, cornered up Cassidy's goat, saw
ed off that unfortunate animals horns
and painted il in stripes like zebra,
thus making Cassidy's goat the ridiculc
of the town. Cassidy wasted no time
on useless words. His reply was instant
and severe. He ut once cornercd up
Bcndemecker's jackass and whitewashed
it. The lime so affected the doomed
animal-who was no politician, and con-
sequently not used to whitewashing-
That it died. Thus the celebrated goat
jackass suit of Westtield, n j., started.
The best legal talent will be arrayed on
each side, but which ever way the suit
terminates, il is not hard to see that the
dead jackass is not the only one in the
case.-DetrOH Free Press

The Truth Not Always to be Told.

Mr.. Blair, Secretary of the Union In
surance Company, was married last
night ut St. Paul's Episcopal Church to
Miss Nellie Barringer, II charming young
lady, one of the bellies of Cincinnati So
ciety. Rev. DIR. Benedict of1iciated. The
wedding was quiet, but enlivencd some
what by II little incident that rather
upset the solemnity usually observed
when two young people are joined for
life. Professor Perring, of the College
of Music, presided at the organ, and, as
is customary on such occasions, enter
tanned the assembled guests with volun-
taries on the instrument previous to the
arrival of the happy couple. He finally
struck into that familiar melody, with
the very familiar refrain, ''Trust Her
Not, She is Pooling Thee with elabo
rate eNtemporaneous variations. While
he was hard at it the bridal party en-
tered the church, but the Professor,
totally obliviouS of the fact, kept on
banging away, and as the expectant
groom walked up the aisle with Il happy
smile and his lovely bride on his arm he
was aStonished to hear himself greeted
with
Trust her not, she's foo ling thee-Shes
foo 90 ling thee.
The Professor never realized the stu
ation-tUmbled to it, so to speak-until
the bridal party were well on their way
to the altar, when he jumped into the
wedding march with an emphatic sud
denncss that nearly took the wind out of
the man ut the bellows.
The next time Mr.. Blair gets married
he'll employ another organist. Cincin-
matt Times.

CURRENT TOPICS.

A COURIER arrived at Rawlins from
Milk River, ON the Sth, bringing the
welcome intelligence that Capt. Payne
and his beleaguered troops had been re-
lieved by Gen. Merritt, whose command
reached them on the morning of the 5th.
Captain Dodge, with a company
of the Ninth Cavalry from
Bear Greek, had previously sue
ceeded in joining Capt. Payne's
command, reaching him on the morning
of the I'd. The little band was hemmed
in on all sides, the Indians occupying
the surrounding heights and sending a
bullet after every man who had the
temerity TO show his head Every horse
was shot. down, ms the animals
could not he protected. Sal
lies for water were made every
night, a distance of 200 yards from the
intrenchments, and were attended with
great danger. Gen. Merritt encoun-
tered no hostiles. His march to relieve
the beleaguered troops was Il great mill
tary achievement. On the first day his
command made 40 miles, and on the
second day 30 miles.
Gen. Pope has issued a general or
der, complimenting very highly Capt.
Francis S. Dodge of Company ID, Ninth
Cavalry, and the officers and men of his
command, for the gallantry and soldier
" conduct exhibited in their forced
march, under particularly hazardous
surroundings, to effect a june
ton with the beleaguered forces
of Capt. Payne at Milk River. Gen.
Pope says: q The report in which this
result is announced is written with the
severest brevity, and shows that Capt.
Dodge, in addition to his other qualities,
possesses that perfect modesty which
should always characterize the true sol
dier. His conduct is held up for the
emulation of all officers in this depart
ment, and will be duly brought to the
notice and consideration of the Govern
ment.''
