that State could easily be carried by the

On the opening of court, yesterday, Judge
w'lkin on the bench, the jury out all night
in the case of John Clark, VIM. Walker an6
James butcher, charged with an assault
upon and robbery of Dominick Areynski
came into court with verdict. It shaped
itself into guilty as against Clark and Walk
or, and not guilty as regards James butcher
stay OF proceedings for ten days was
granted In the case of the convicted, and
butcher was discharged.
Following this VIM. Diamonds case was
caused to shine up. It glittered only for a
very short tine, as his trial for an assault
upon Patrick Hardiman with a dangerous
weapon, occupied short half hour, includ-
ing the elaboration of the jury, which
brought in verdict of not guilty.
Robert and Jennie Diamond, belonging to
the same set in which the foregoing corus-
Gates, were next arraigned for keeping q
house of ill-fame. They pleaded not guilty.
VIM. II. Williams, indicted as Wilson,
the man who stole coat, etc., from Mr..
Fisher, of the American Expr >ss company,
appeared in court with request. It was to
withdraw his plea of not guilty, and to con.
TESS to the guilt of the larceny of property

and Williams was remanded for sentence.
Next in order was the trial of Theodore

fellow workman named Kestner on Nc
Grath's farm near Lake Como. MIR. Wilde
appeared for defendant, and the prosecu-
ton was conducted by County Attorney
Rogers. The case was rushed through and

At this juncture the Orschel- Isaaos affair
was brought into court; first on an indict-
ment against Leopold Isaacs, Isaac Orschel
and Herman Orschel on the charge of con-
spiracy to defraud. To which the accused
severaily demurred to the indictment on the
grounds: First-That the indictment does
not substantially conform to requirements
of the law denouncing certain acts as consti-
tuting such crime. Second-That the facts
set forth in the Indictment do not constitute
public offense.
The date when argument will be heard on
the demurrer will hereafter be set.
Hiram Dyer, Jr.,was next arraigned for trial
on the charge of having stabbed Albert
Guerin. The prosecution was represented
by County Attorney Rogers, and the defense
was CONNECTED by Mr.. s. L. Pierce.
In the course of the testimony given by
Guerin, he detailed the language which he
used to Dyer, and which was so foul that
Mr.. Pierce, in the course of his address to
the jury, excoriated Guerin as the foulest
wretch who had ever given foul testimony
in court.
Mr.. Pierce demanded an acquittal for his
client.
The case was given to the jury at 6 o'clock
and verdict of guilty was returned.

The Famine in Brazil.

ALENGrHY and detailed account of
the famine in Brazil has been recently
published in this country, and is thus
summarized, editorially, by the Chicago
Tribune:
The Province in which this calamity
took place is a large one, narrow at the
coast, but widening into the interior,
and containing two and a half millions
of people. The particular district Wis
tied by the famine contained over 9OO%
600 Inhabitants. These people de-
pended for their food upon their annual
crops. The winter of 1867 brought q
drought, which cut off all crops for the
next season, and the winter of 1878
was equally disastrous. The people
were reduced to absolute starvation.
They lived principally in little settle
ments, and these were starved out;
they began to herd together, and finally
to flock to the larger towns. Over
100, 900 refugees moved to q single
town whose population was only q. 900.
Through the years 1877 and 1873 fam
inc ruled supreme. Cattle and all
animals that might have served for
food persisted with the men, women
and children. In the migration from
the interior the unfortunate people
died on the road by the thousands; in
the madness of starvation. parents ate
their own children. The number of
those who died from starvation is esti-
mated at from 100, 900 to 800, 900. This
does not include those who died from

coal stoves, and one man said:
"Wel!. don't want to brag, but

of coal, and the stove has kept three

Some men looked out Of the win
dows, and some down at the straw,
and no one seemed to doubt any of the
assertions. At length heavy sigh
was heard from the rear end of the
car, and a clerical looking man arose
and said:
Gentlemen, there goes fire alarm.

to form q snow-bank around the stove.

An Old Cats Artifice.

HERE follows curious case of feline
intelligence that equals anything re-
ported in fox craft:
ga pair of blackbirds built nest on
the top of my garden wall, which is
thickly covered with ivy, and within
three yards of the drawing-room win
dow" says correspondent of Mature.
"When the young birds were about
three parts f1edged, one of them, by
some mishap, left the nest and fell into
the flower-garden. My cat (seven years
old, and which has killed scores OF
small birds, } Immediately found it, and
at the same time kitten (about three
months old, but not belonging to the
cat,) began to pay rather rude atten-
ton to the young blackbird; but the
old cat would not suffer her to touch it.
1.-The old male blackbird kept flying
here and there around the scene of ac-
ton, crying and scolding with might
and main. II became evident to me
that the cat had two or three objects in
view.
"Not to allow the kitten to touch, or
kill, or make off with the young bird;
to use the young bird as decoy to en-
trap the old one; to make the young
bird cry sufficiently from fear or pain
to induce the parents affection to over
come its discretion.
"During the maneuvers old Tom re-
peatedly made unsuccessful springs to
catch the male bird, alternately run
ming to give the kitten q lesson of pa
thence or self-denial, or impose a fear
of punishment.
1.-THE young bird repeatedly hoped
out of sight among the flowers. and
stinted its cries; then anon the cat
touched it again; and made it flutter
and cry again; which, from time to
time, brought the old bird down with
cries of terror or wrath almost into the
very mouth of the cat. After had
watched some ten or fifteen minutes il
became too painful, so l caught the

ArizOna's Stone Wells.

A WONDERFUL place is Tinajas, about
thirty miles southeast of Mission Camp.
The mountains have one face of hard.
smooth granite. All the water falling
upon this basin has to flow through
nine tanks, one above the other. The
lower tanks are of easy access and are
often drained of their contents by men
and animals travelling between Yuma
and Sonora. The upper tanks are ap-
preached only by circuitous and diff
cult climbing over rocks. To one
standing below they afford no indica-
ton of their existence, nor does climb
ing the smooth steep mountain side
seem possible to one unacquainted with
the way to do it. In the upper tanks
water has never been known to fail.
To this water comes game of all kinds
in great numbers from the great water
less country around Tinajas. Ante
lope, mountain sheep and deer OF sew
eral kinds come in herds. Rabbits and
hares are as plenty as anywhere and
are prey for many coyotes and beauti-
full little rock foxes. One would think
that all this game would be thinned out
by the Papago Indians who inhabit the
country. But these Indians are super
stitious and avoid Tinajas with abject
horror. Within two miles of this water
are certainly $50 graves and probably
more, each marked by rows OF stones
laid in the form of q cross. Scores OF
men famished for water have expended
their last strength in reaching Tinajas,
only to find the lower tanks dry, and
ignorant of the upper ones have lain
down in despair to die. The remains
have been buried by later travellers and
the graves marked, Mexican fashion.
by q cross of stones. During the rush
to the gold fields of California, cholera
attacked travellers on the road from
Mexico, as it did American immigrants
along the Platte; pestilence combined
with thirst to gather cOrpses at Tina
Jas. Recollections of bleaching bones
and grinning skulls protect the game
from Papago arrows and fiint-locks.
After passing through its usual ferment-
alton the water becomes clear and
pure as any in the world; it comes from
the clouds only, and flowing into the
tanks over insoluble granite it carries
no mineral matter. Every heavy rain
pours a whirling torrent through the
tanks, washing them out to the very
bottom-no organic matter stays be-
hind. The number and variety OF
birds here is marvellous, many OF them
appearing to be of new and undescribed
species. At morning and evening the
din of their song confined by sides OF

A Managers fireworks.

A GOOD story is told of Elliston's
management at Worcester. For his
benefit he had announced grand dis
play of fireworks! No greater proof
of the gullibility of the British could
be adduced than their swallowing such
an announcement. The theater was so
small that such an exhibition was prac.
tically impossible. A little before the
night Elliston called upon the landlord
of the property, and, in the course of
conversation, limited at the danger of
such display, as though the idea had
lust struck him. The landlord took
alarm, and, as Elliston had anticipated,
forbade it. Nevertheless, the announce
ments remained on the walls, and on
the night the theater was crowded.
The performance proceeded without
any notice being taken by the manage
ment of the fireworks, until murmurs
swelled into clamors and loud cries.
Then with his usual kingly air.
Elliston came forward and bowed.
He had made, he said, the most
elaborate preparations for mag
nificent pyrothenic display; he had
left nothing undone, but at the last
moment came the terrible reflection,
Would it not be dangerous? Would
there not be collected within the walls
of the theater number of lovely, young,
tender girls, or respectable matrons, to
do him honor? What if the house
should catch fire-the panic, the strug-
gle for life-ah! he shuddered at the
thought! Then, too, he thought of the
property of that worthiest of men, the
landlord-he rushed to consult him
and he now called upon him-there he
was seated in the stage-box-to public
" state, for the satisfaction of the dis
tinguished audience he saw before him,
that he had forbidden the performance,
for considerations of safety. The
landlord, very nervous man, shrank
to the back of his box, scared by every
eye in the house being fixed upon him;
but the audience, thankful for the ter
rible danger they had escaped, burst in
to thunders of applause. Belgravia
