his fortune returned home yesterday
evening, having made IL. He reports
the walking from Leadxille to Pueblo as
terrible, but from that point on as far
east as Larned it improved. and from
Larned TO Usage City he got along with
comparatively little fatigue and nothing
to eat; from Usage City to Atchison the
walking grew rapidly worse and his IA
tigue increased out Of all proportion ID
his rations, and from Hopkins to Bur-
lington the walking was so beastly that
the occasional lifts he was able to beg
or steal ON freight trains didn't count for
any thing. He expresses himself as
highly pleased with Leadv;lle, and
thinks OF going back again, but not this
century. He excused the style Of his

willie wore any more than one leg to their
pantaloons. - Burlington Hamkeye.

THIRD JUSTICES COURT.

An interesting decision was rendered yester-
day by Judge Buisson In the case Of J. B. Solari
Il Sons VS.. Placide j. Spear. The plaintiffs sued
on check given In their favor by defendant on
the Southern Bank: which check was not pre-
sented for payment until the day after 1t had
been received. when the bank had already sus-
pended. Judge Buisson. relying on the nu-
merous authorities quoted, by Judge Theard.
attorney of j. B. Solari & Sons. held that
with respect to check on banker, 1t was now
settled that it sufficed to present 1t for payment
to the banker at any time during the banking
hours on the day after it was received, and that
presenting 1t for payment early In the morning
OF the second day. although the bankers paid
checks on them during the morning and then
stopped payment.

brother-in-law who belonged to Capt. Wades
battery. Capt. Wade was in the Confederate
ment at Grand Gulf, Miss, in the spring OF
1868. He was commander of what we called
the lower land batteries. This brother-in-law
of Logan, If | remember right, deserted our
army somewhere between the battle of Port
Gibson and the beginning OF the siege OF
Vicksburg, and during cessation Of the
fighting at Vieksburg for the purpose of bury
ing the dead. After the engagement on the

Blaine stands Aside for Grant.

tJ. r. Youngs Washington Letter to N. Z. Star.l
We have story that a Mr.. Redfield. Of
Philadelphia, has a letter from Mr.. Borie,
saying chat Gen. Grant will positively de-
cline to again run for the Presidency. Mr..
Borie ought to know, Of course But the news
is old. Senator Chandler received a letter
from Gen. Grant, more than q year ago, most
emphatically refusing to allow his name to
be used in connection with the Presidency,
adding that while his first choice was Conk-
ling, the Republican party had many men
fitted for the position, any one OF whom would
receive his Endorsement.
OF course, 1t IS natural that the General
should not again seek the place, but as his
nomination is to be By acclamation, he will
be forced to accept. The feeling for him
seems to grow rather than wane. Senator
Blaine said to me the other day that the
feeling for Grant was irresistibly strong, and
he could not see how his nomination could be
prevented He said that he (Blaine) probably
had the largest correspondence of any mera-
her of Congress fact which enabled him to
Judge well of the feelings and views OF the
people, and they We're Enthusiastically fol
Grant. He believed that Grant would be
nominated by acclamation, and that he GER
tainly would not allow his name to be used
with Grant In the field"

Opiophagy, otherwise called opium eating

Opiophagy, otherwise called opium eating,
has grown to formidable proportions in the
United States. In 1867, when our population
was thirty-seven millions, the amount of OPT
um imported was 10000 pounds; In 1876,
with an increase of but seven millions In the
population the importation had risen to $40,
600 pounds. Thus, during these ten years,
while the population had increased only
about twenty per cent, the Importation of
opium had considerably more than doubled.
Much of it Is used for medical purposes, but
investigation has shown that the larger pro-
portion Of 1t Is consumed by opium eaters.
Il is hardly credible, though It IS giyen, on
doctors authority, that IN the city OF Indian
apolis there are nearly 500 Of these who made
away with nine hundred pounds Of the drug
last year. In the State Of Michigan statis-
tics on the subject have been furnished by
ninety physicians; they reported 1913 habit
ual users Of opium, or an average Of thirteen @
physicians. Every evil Is traced to the hard
times and so is the increase In the use of
opium, which is a drug that makes people
temporarily negligent of the hardness Of the
times. @m="

New HAMPSHIRE paper records the fol
lowing: New Hampshire voters are, It seems,
proverbially independent In their action. A
good story has been told, never before IN
print, of an old-fashioned New Hampshire
Democrat who once went down to work for
the rich John D. Williams, OF Roxbury, Mass.
When voting day came round, Mr.. Williams
asked his hired man how he was going to
vote. He replied for the opposition candi-
date. Mr.. Williams said: IF you do so vote
! will not have you work for me day
longer" The hired man then said: III you
don't vote for my candidate will never work
for you a day longer" They confronted each
other at the polls, watched each other, and
saw that they voted opposite tickets. The
hired man went home, packed up, and asked
for an immediate settlement Mr.. Williams
laughed and said: 'I did not mean what
said, ! can't get along without you; you
won't go?" Hired man said: 81 did mean
what said. I will never work for a man
who don't vote the Democratic ticket" And
he went home to New Hampshire. This Is d
true account Of the way an old-fashioned
New Hampshire Democrat attempted obull
doze his employer.
