A Novel Lawsuit.

There is another deeply interesting
question which is about To
be brought up in the Superior
Court of Tippecanoe county, Judge
Ward presiding. 1t is whether man
can allow his hen to lay on another's
land and then claim the eggs as his
property. The point Il this: A Mr..
Wilson, of Wabash township, had a
Bramah hen, which went into the
stable of his ueiShbor and laid eggs
in the horsetrough. which the owner
Of the stable appropriated to his own
use, hence the action. 1t will be
argued on the one side that Mr.. Viii,
son c,uld not control bis hen from
flying over the fence, and on the
other that Mr.. Brown, the neighbor,
could not be expected to furnish his
stable for nest for Wilson's Bramah
hen. The hen is to he brought into
court to DO ideptifed, as also the
eggs, on compulsory process, en-
question Of ownership. The trial
promises to be an interesting one.

Good Words for the Scissors Edi'
tor.

Some people, ignorant of what
good editing is, imagine the getting
up of selected matter to be the east
est thing in the world, whereas it is
the incest work that is done on a
paper. IF they find the editor with
scissors in hand they are sure TO say,
"Eh! that's the way you get up
original matter, eh ?" accompanying
their new and witty question with an
idiotic smile or wink. The facts are
that the interest, the morality, the
variety and the usefulness of paper
depend in no small degree upon its
selected matter, and few men are
capable of the position who would
not themselves be able to write many
of the articles they select. A sensi-
BILE editor desires considerable Sc
lected matter, because he knows that
one mind cannot make as good a
paper as FIVE or six.-Gold Hill

DON'T GO FOR YOUR CLOTHES
AFTER NIGHTFALL.

Joseph Damonte, the Sutro miner
vb~ was shot as he entered his resi-
dence, in Virginia, one night last
week, by Thomas L. Brophy, an en-
giseer at the Con. Virginia shaft,
died Of his wounds On Monday morn
Jog. ahophy, who had been let out
on bail, was thereupon rearrested,
and confined in the County Jail. His
story is that he went to Damonte's
house sbopt11 o'clock at night to get
some clothes which the woman who
cohabited with Damonte had was he'd
for him; that while there Damonte
came, kicked in the door, and at
tackled him with knife; that, there
upon, in self-defense, he was COM
PEELED to shoot him. Whatever may
have been the motive which impelled
Brophy to visit the house at such an
advanced hour, there can be no
doubt but that he acted in self-de-
Tense, and judicial inquiry will
prQb&bly result in his ac4uittal.. But
this case should prove warning to

MILITARY NOTES.

The approaching anniversary OF the Four
teenth of September seems to have aroused all
the latent military energies Of our young men.
All the armories In the city were last night
ablaze with the lighted gas, and the streets
around and about them resounded with the
measured tread of armed men and the stern
voice of command. Nearly all the commands
were drilling. At the headquarters OF the Ger
man Battalion our Teutonic fellow-cftizens
were going through the manual Of arms and on
Dryades street Company ID, OF the louisiana
Field Artillery. was being. put through ne
school of the company by their 1ndefatlgaDle
captain, j. r. Aleee Gauthreaux. THESE boys

medals look ont for their laurels In the future.

and Crescent City Battalion. several companies
from both commands had gone OF were gong
through the drill. Among these were the Burke
Rifles, of the Crescent City Batall on, who were

which ia competed for regularly every three
months by the members OF this company. Capt.
W. F. Pinckard, OF the League Guards. com
manded the drill. and Lieut.. John Woods OF the
Crescent Rifles. acted as judge After we'll
contested fight for the medal. CORPORAL Joe
Blakeley having gone through without making
a sinae mistake. was awarded the prize.
At the armory we met Major J. ID. Scott. who
informed US that Col. Glynn had received posi-
tive notice to-day from Capt. Prosper, Landry
that the Cannonsers Of Donaldson would surely
be here on Sunday to participate in the com
memoration Of the glorious Fourteenth.
