TIE WRIT OF HADEAS CORPUS VIC.
,T0RI0CS 0ykRAN lNftExlnLE

On Poydras street, between 81. Charles
and Camp, there have lived In peace
for long times Mrs. X. Hyams, her
daughter Addic, MIR. Aaron Woolf and
Mr.. EdmAnds,s q gentleman, ON the
very shady side OF forty. T9ere came
. time, however, when d E,dmunsas
whispered vows u tender love In tho
ears of the foad Addie; and he knew
by her sighs aud her down cast oyes,
that she was his and his alone. 80 iAr,
so good, as regards tho two lowers.
But Mrs. Hyams objected to tho union
OF her daughter, q JeWess, with an
allen to her faith. Then trouble visited
the houses the fair Adtlie was kept in
durance by the inflexible mother and
Edmunds forbidden to como within
pistol-range OF the house. Tho lover,
however, not to bo frustrated by
motherly wiles, knowing that Addie
was of age, sued out a writ of h06eas
corpus before Judge Whitaker, Thurs
day night, alleging that Addic Ifyams
was Illegally and forcibly detained by
her mother. AL parties were bcforo
tho court inmedietaly, but, owing to
some delay In securing q lawyer for
the defense, tho court continued tho
matter until 10 O'Clock Friday AT the
appointed hour the case WAS called,
and It was announced that Mrs. Ilyan,s
had Withdrawn her objection. In the
twlnkling Of an eye tho triumphant
Ealmunds and tho fair Aldto adjourned
to Judge WhitaRer's offico, whore his
Honor impresslveiy performed the

create Is great nl0OF0nCe 10 the WOEk,
although ouly the very best adaman-
tine coach lights are used. The cleo
trio lights, which emit neither smoke
nor heat, will soon be used in place of
candles. One light over the well and
one in the shaft will supply all the
illumination that is needed. Work in
the tunnel never ceases. 1t is prose-
cuted by three gangs, each gang work
ing eight hours. Sometimes the men
eat their meals in the shaft, but as Of
ten they come out aud spend half an
hour on the earth's surface. Theirs is
not dainty work. Tho earth that they
dig out is mixed with water in the
bottom Of the shaft, and when it has
reached certain depth and consis-
tency it is blown out into the great
brick we'll by the air pressure in the
shaft through pipes that lie at the bot
tom of the excavation, and that are
built out to follow the workmen as
they extend the shaft. Whenever it is
necessary this mud is bailed out Of the
we'll to make way for more. As the
tunnel is now 1t has the shape of a
place of q cork in the bottles neck.
The neck of the bottle is formed by the
narrow bore that was gradually widened
until the permanent diameter of tWen-
ty-one feet was reached. AS the ex-
cavators work they are closely followed
by men who line the shaft with plates
of riveted iron, and these in turn are
followed by masons who construct the
arched brickwork that forms the tun-
mel wall. Nearly one hundred feet of
the permanent tunnel have been COM
pleted. No date is set for the begin
ming of tho work on the New York
side of the river.

UNITED STATES COURT.
CShreveport Times.l

lNohAONopOAV AA"CSsJ
Some lawyers, how many or who
they are we do not know, have memo
rallied our members in Congress
against the establishment of an addt-
tional United States District Court in
this State. The motive prompting the
memorialists may be, without violat-
nature, we'll questioned. We do not
know the line of their argument, but
we have always observed that lawyers
are usually disposed to have plenty of
litigation and ample facilities, mt the
public expense, for court purposes, and
where this rule has an exception, such
as we have mentioned, it must be
that there are some reasons at the bot
tom not based alone on precedents or
the public good.
We, and the leading papers of this
section, have demonstrated repeatedly
that such an additional court Is of pub
lie importance for the economy and
dispatch of litigation. The lawyers
and business men of North Louisiana
have in public and private ways, urged
the passage of the court bill now pend
ing. Before the war when our party
was dominant in Congress we had an
additional court and Judge for the
western district. Then, it may be,
that the business interest for such
court might have been questioned, but
since then this section of the State has
grown populous and full of commercial
interests extending through the States
upon either side OF us. We have in
this section thousands of miles OF rivers
and lakes over which an immense
commerce is intcrchangcd and trans
ported by steamboats, whose wages and
freightagc contracts are within the sole
jurisdiction of United States Courts.
The business of this kind is not prob
and every day tho need of such n
court is felt in this as we'll as in all
lines of trade.
The judge of the old court died dur
ing the war, and at n timo afterwards
when we had no representation in
Congress the lawyers OF New Orleans,
maybe some of those who are now
among these superserviceable memo
riallsts, caused Congress to abolish the
court for our district. Then they were
considerable of public interest from
their own standpoint. 1t may 10 that
the point dappui is tho same to-day.
These lawyers, like the politicians Of
either party, seem often to totally
ignore the fact that the horison cDcir-
cling the Crescent City is not tho limit
of the State boundaries, that, I'm truth,
there is an extensive territory, abound.
ing in people, commercial and agricut-
tural prosperity and wealth outside OF
of New Orleans, and in it there are
plenty of mon quite competent to COM
prefend and discuss their public de.
mands. Our people have frequently
affirmed the public need of an addi-
tional court and we sincerely hope
that Our members will not be misled
by our legal friends in New Orleans
whose purposes seem to tie SO selfish.
We want the court and outside of nny
political or selfish combinations, we
hope to secure it at this session OF Con
gress.

HOTTEST SPOT ON EARTH.

One Of tho hottest regions on the
earth is along tho Persian Gulf, where
little or no rain fails. At Hnhrin tho
arid shore has no fresh water, yet u
comparatively numerous population
contrive to live there, thanks, to tho
coplous springs which break forth from
the bottom Of the sea. Tho fresh water
is got by diving. The diver, sitting IN
his boat, winds II great goatskin bag
around his left arm, tho hand grasping
It's mouth; then takes in his right hand
a heavy stone to which is attached u
strong line, and thus equipped he
plunges In and quickly reaches tho bot
tom. Instantly opening the bag over
tho strong Jet OF fresh water, he springs
up tho ascending current, ut tho same
time closing the bag, and is helped
aboard. The stone is then hauled up,
and tho diver, after taking breath,
plungcs again. The source OF tho copi-
Gus submarine springs is thought to be
in the green hills OF Osinan, some five
or six hundred miles distant.

The Waste Places.

The time of the year has arrived,
that if there be any waste places on the
farm they should be looked after. 1t is
these places which produces large
crop of weeds and send their seed by
the wind to all parts of the farm to an
nOy the farmer and iniure the crops
next year. 1t is frequently the case
that the richest spot on the farm is al
lowed to 90 to weeds. And yet there
is an urgent demand for just these
places for other purposes. When the
grass becomes dry or tough in August,
September and October, milk cows,
calves and even steers need green food
to supply the deficiencies of the failing
pastures. Without such food it is al
most impossible to keep cows up to
their milk and if they fail then, it will
be hard to bring them back by bran
meal or turnips in the winter to flush
milk. Dairymen, farmers and stock
raisers must prepare for extra green
food in the months we have named.
And this can be provided for yet. There
are but few farms but have vacant lots,
corners or patches which can be de-
voted to just such purposes. They can
be sOwn to corn, Hungarian grass, Ger
man millet, oats, etc. The early sweet
corn, or early Compton can be planted
for a month yet for this purpose. Or it
can be sOwn, and as at this season of the
year corn advances very rapidly, it will
smother nearly every variety of weeds.
And for the purposes we name more
valuable acres of corn can be raised on
the farm, and if our readers do not take
advantage of this system, they will be
diStanced in the contest for superiority
of stock or milk.
Hungarian grass is a valuable green
crop or for hay. If for either, it should
be cut before the seed ripens. 1t is val
liable when ripe for wintering calves,
but when the seed is perfected it is not
fit for colts or horses. But we beseech
all to prepare now for the purposes
named. Do not suppose it is too late,
even if other business should crowd the
sowing of this green crop into the first
weeks of July; but pillow up the vase
places weedy corners-the idle
stock yards and they will richly reward
the labor.-IoUa state Register.

Four Rich Men.

The Liverpool Courier gives some
rather interesting particulars as to the
four men who are supposed to be the
most wealthy living. OF these the poor
est is his Grace the Duke of Westmins-
ter, whose income is set down at $780,.
600 year. Taking it at that sum, the
amount which the Duke can spend with,
out entrenching on his capital is f2,00C
a day, 600 an hour and Fl los. a min
ute. The next man in the ascending
scale is Senator Jones, of Nevada,
whose income is valued at exactly one
million sterling, giving him the right tC
spend, if he likes, 81 minute out OF
revenue. The head of the Rothschild
family comes next, with a yearly income
of two millions and the expenses which
he can defray thereOut are, of course,
double as great as those of the Senator.
At the top of the list comes Mr.. j. w.
Mackey, with a revenue of e, $50, 900,
which enables him to disburse $1,000
a day, $500 an hour and Is a minute
The fortunes of the other three are in,
significentif compared with this gentle
mans wealth. For they were the
growth OF many years elIner or success
full toll or lucky speculation, or both
combined. But Mr.. Mackey, as the
Courier remarks was thirty years ago a
penniless boy in ireland. Sixteen years
ago he was bankrupt; and now he is the
owner of the richest silver mine that
has ever been discovered. There is,
therefore, hope for all the penniless
boys in could Ireland" We commend
to them the example of Mr.. j. w.
Mackey, who, it appears, is now only
forty-five years old and if he goes on at
the same rate as during the last sixteen
years, will have ample time to treble
his fortune and possess an income ten
times as large as that of the Duke OF
Westminster Already the capitalized
value of property is set down at f55.-
600. 900, against the modest ZIG, 900, 0OO
of the Duke. Such figures are pleasing
to the eye and ear, but we regret to add
that the Liverpool Courier does not by
any means vouch for the accuracy OF
the totals it publishes. -LOndOn Globe.

Stories About Ministers.

DR.. John Hall, in a recent address at
Madison, Wis, told several very good
stories.
He said that he knew a preacher in
Ireland who used to come down from
his pulpit every Sunday, after the ser
mon, and the people, passing in a line
in front of him, would shake hands and
pass the compliments of the day. One
elder told the pastor one day, "Let the
Lord keep you humble, sir, and we will
keep YOU pOOrr But that is the policy
of too many church boards, imbued as
they are with the notion that the minis
try should be kept on the apostolic plan
of poverty and humility.
DR.. Hall told a story related to him
by the late Richard Winter Hamilton. a
prominent Congregationalist in En-
gland. Mr.. Hamilton, being called to
fill pulpit in a provincial town. was
waited on in the vestry just before the
service by the presenter of the meeting;
the latterlaid down a programme which
provided for very short prayer and a
shorter sermon, but several intermina-
bly, long hymns. Sale. the presenter:
Oul POOPlC III 81 PCCullll pCOPlC1 VIC

There are funeral ministers, said DR..
Hall; gentlemen who carry around with
them an air of professional solemnity;
they carry it even in their hat bands and
pocket handkerchiefs, and look continu-
ally as if genteely laid out in their cof-
fins. There was minister of this sort
called on to marry a young couple; he
stretched out his hands and uncon-
sciousl y commenced the burial service.
