The Northern Pacific farmer. [volume] (Wadena, Minn.) 1878-1885, 1880-06-17

SOME time since Morris Livingston, a
wealthy Israelite of Utah, visited POUCH
keepsie and met Miss Rachael Rosen-
baum, Il prepossessing young lady of
social position, to whom he became en-
gagged. On returning home letters
passed between them, and the enamor-
ed youth presented his fancee with a
handsome diamond ring, necklace, and
other jewelry Subsequently the girls
father found out that Livingston had
been married and divorced in Utah and
caused the engagement to be broken off.
Livingston asked for the return Of the
jewelry he had given Miss Rosenbaum,
but was told he couldn't have it, where
upon he began suit to recover the trink-
cts on the ground that they were not
given as an absolute gift, but on the
condition that a marriage should follow
between the parties. The outline of the
defense is foreshadowed as follows:
While Livingston was in Poughkeepsie
he was entertained at the Rosenbaum
residence; a banquet, the cost of which
was considerable, was given in his honor,
and the jewelry referred to is held as an
offset to the same.

Ingenious Escape Of Nihilists.
From the London Times.

When it is remembered that the pris-
ons of Russia are crowded with twice As
many inmates as they were constructed
for, and that the pay of the overtaxed
wardens is barely sufficient to keep them
from starvation, the mum erous ESCAPES
OF criminals may be easily accounted
for. These evasions have been so plen-
tiful during the last few years that hard
ly day elapses without the flight of
somebody or other from his cell. In the
case of ordinary convicts not much sur
prise is commonly expressed in Russia,
but in regard to political offenders it is
known that the precautions taken are
SO rigorous that the evasion of any Nj
hilist always furnishes matter for nine
days wonder. The Governor-G General
of Kieff, Gen. Tchortkoff, derived much
Of the ill-fame with which his name Is
invested from an order that he issued
some time ago that all prisoners at
tempting to escape were to be shot down
by the sentries without any effort being
made to induce them to surrender.
However, neither this order nor the sub
stitution Of solitary confinement for the
usual mode Of caging the Nihilists in
gangs, has had any appreciate effect in
diminishing the number of escapes.
Fomin, the Kharkoff leader, created
some sensation in 1878 by escaping
through chimney, and the seventy
criminals confined in the same room
with him would doubtless have got clear
also, had not the 18th, very stout man,
stuck at the top Of the shaft, and so
blocked the way for the rest. To pre-
vent similar occurrence, the governor
of Slootsk prison, in Minsk, placed Ter
emit Tcherentsoff and Ivan Savantseff
in separate cells, depriving both of their
bed linen and superfuous clothing, for
81 they should try and lower them
selves from their third-story windows to
the ground. The Nihilists, however had
scarcely been in prison fortnight when
the governor, one morning, found to
his chagrin that his birds had flown.
Aided by a pocket knife they had made
a ladder capable of being taken to pie
ces from the wooden floor of their cells
and the ironwork of their bedsteads, and
at night, having picked the locks of both
rooms, they had descended to the base
ment, amerged through trap on the
courtyard, and fixing their ladder against
the wall, had clambered over and sue
cessfully effected their escape.

The Fate of a Flirt.

The Pittsburg exposition is coming
over for the year, but there is one thing
connected with it that will be read with
interest says the Youngstown paper.
Rather good looking couple from the
country boarded a train the day before
the exposition closed, and with Il num-
Der of others went to Pittsburg. Arriv
ing the girl met an old acquaintance,
with whom she soon became uncom-
fortably (for the other chap friendly.
She and her Pittsburg friend stuck to-
gether like wax all day, viewing the
sights, apparently oblivious Of the fact
that her escort was around. When the
hour came for starting home she went
with her Pittsburg friend to the depot,
and hung upon his arm until just before
the train started, her escort, the while,
looking very much displeased. They
boarded the train, she taking seat lust
behind him. The conductor tapped
her on the shoulder for ''tickets." She
leaned timidly forward and said:
''Ticket, John"
"Tickets be d-d!' said John. "Get
you ticket from the fellow you trolloped
around with all day"
This was followed by loud laughing
from number sitting near, some Of
whom had been watching the girls
movements during the day, and she
had to 60 down into her pocket for the
necessary wealth to pay her fare to this
city.

An American Doctor in Russia.
St. Petersburg Golos.

In the month of April there came to
St. Petersburg one DIR. Hof, of New
York an alleged specialist in the treat
ment of diphtheria, recommended to the
Russian medical authorities by the Rus
sian Minister at Washington and by
Mr.. Ramsey, the United States Minister
of War. DR.. Hoff claimed to possess a.
specific for diphtheria, an oil extracted
from the roots Of a Brazilian plant known
as farricom. This oil, dissolved in alco-
hol and used internally and externally,
according to the directions of DR.. Hoff,
was said to be sure remedy in cases of
diphtheria. The Yankee doctor also
explained that he did not seek any
pecuniary profit from his discovery;
that he had left in New York a hand
some practice, bringing him over 500
weekly; that all he wanted was an oppor-
tunity to secure fair trial for his drug
on large scale. One thing looked rath-
er strange to the Russian doctors
that their Yankee colleague did not
know the medical Technology, and
was unable to tell them to what genus
and species farricom belonged. Never
theless the doctor was permitted to try
his drug and skill. He went into the
province of Poltava, where an epidemic
was raging. Several villagers were Wis
tied by him, and a number given over
to his special care. Some of the Sisters
of Mercy were placed at his disposal
and We're instructed by him. Unhap-
PLY the results of the experiment were
not favorable to the Yankee doctor. Of
all patients treated by him not one re-
covered AS soon as the arrival of the
American doctor was made known
great numbers of invalids of all kinds,
especially incurables focked to him.
Ais professional advice was freely given
and its nature satisfied the Russian
druggists that DR.: Hoff had not enjoyed
the advantages of thorough medical
education. AS he does not charge any
thing for his advice and medicine he is
not quack in the ordinary sense.
Here he is regarded as a fanatic on the
subje of his drug.
