FoRr DAVIS, November S.-The cross ex-

attention Of the court again to-day. Cap
tain Barber, in his questions, attempted to
prove that Colonel Shafter was over Jealous
in stripping Fliper of all his personal effects
to secure the government. The questions
were answered to the effect that these per
sonal effects wee taken at first,
but rendered back afterward, the
rest retained until some small debts were
settled, and probably all had been offered,
but were refused by Flipper save through
civil process. The effects had been subject
to his order since that time. The defense
offered to prove that the enlisted men were
so enraged at his confinement that propos-
itions were made to relieve Flipper by force,
but were declined by him. The offer was
objected to by the judge advocate as inn
proper, and sustained by the court.

The Middlebury register. [volume] (Middlebury, Vt.) 1850-1882, 1881-08-26

While We oppose any form of Ii
cense law from its inherent immorali-
ty, we have favored the local option
movement, for it is step in the right
direction. There was no compromise
with evil or Endorsement of its acts. 1t
was declaration of the right of a ma
jority to prohibit liquor selling. Itwas
carried in many towns and in many
counties i'm every state where the legis-
lature granted the authority, In doing
so it excited discussion and showed that
public opinion when aroused was op-
posed to misunderstanding. 1t will in
many states lead TO state prohibition.
After few states have passed prohib-
itory constitutional amendment and
stringent prohibition laws the same
movement will take a definite shape
nationally, and the people will be agi-
tating the national Congress for Con-
stitutional amendment forever prohib-
iting the manufacture or importation of
alcoholic liquors of any name or nature,
except by the general government, and
that for scientific and medicinal pur.
poses alone. Local option has been,
but state prohibition is now, the Alpha
and national prohibition the Omega OF
our temperance battle-cry.

The Betting Young Man.

We had on board, as a matter OF
course, the betting young man. from
Chicago. No steamer over sailed that
did not have this young fellow aboard,
and there are enough of them to last
the Atlantic for great many years. He
knew everything that everybody thinks
they know, but do not, and his delight
was to PROFOUND query, and then
when you had answered it, to very coolly
and exasperatingly remark:
"Betyer bottle of wine you're wrong"
The matter would he 80 simple and
one of so common iepute that immedi-
ately You accepted the wager only to
find that in some minute particular you
were wrong, and that the knowing
youth had won.
For instance:
Thompson, do You know how many
States there are in the Bnion?'
Now any citizen of the United States
who votes, and is eligible to the presi-
dency, ought to know how many States
there are in his beloved country with
out thinking, but how many are there
who can say, off-hand2 And so poor
Thompson answered
u
know"
"Bet yer bottle ye don't"
"Done."
"There are"
And then Thompson would find him
self figuring the very important prob
lem as to whether Colorado had been
admitted, and Nevada, and Oregon, and
ne would decide that one had and the
other hadn't, and finally state the num-
ber, with great certainty that it was
wrong.
The Chicago mans crowning bet o.
Cured the last day out. The smoking
room was tolerably full, as were the
occupants, and everybody was bored as
everybody is on the last day. The Chi
cago man had been silent for an hour,
when suddenly he broke out:
Gentlemen"
"Oh, no more BETS" was the excla.
nation of the entire party. "Give us
rest"
81 don't want to bet, but can show
you something curious"
"Well ?"
al say it and mean it. I can drink
q glass of water without its going down
my throat"
"And get it into your stomach?"
Certainly"
There was q silence of considerably
more than q minute. Every man in the
room had been victimized by this
gatherer up of inconsiderable trifes,
and there was general disposition to
get the better OF him in some way il
possible. Here was the opportunity.
How could man get glass of water
into his stomach without it going down
his throat? Impossible And so the
usual bottle of wine was wagered, and
the Chicago man proceeded to accom-
plish the supposed impossible feat. 1t
was very easily done. All he did was
to stand upon his head on the seat that
runs around the room and swallow
glass of water. 1t went to his stomach,
but it did not go down his thoat. 1t
went np his throat. And so his last
triumph was greater than all his pre-
vious ones, for every man in the room
had been eager to accept his wager.
From that time ont had he offered to
wager that he would swallow his own
head he would have got no takers

Pure silver is the bcst conductor of
heat and electricity known.
One drop of prn-sir acid is sufficient
to instantly arrest lle.
The density OF the waters OF the Dead
sea increases with its depth.
The experiment of freezing mercury
was first accomplished by NJ. Braun in

People have been known to bear 400
degrees of vapor heat without much in

The earth's temperature increases one
degree Fahrenheit for every fifteen yards

When person is struck by lightning
buckets of water should be poured upon

The amount of work man can do in
day has been estimated to be equal to

would raise the weight of his own body

A curious fact, and one bearing on
the value of submarine cables, was men,
toned by Mr.. Ponder, January 81, in
presiding at the half-yearly meeting OF
the Eastern Telegraph company. 1t
was that the company had been able,
for $50, 900, to pick up from a depth OF
1000 fathoms one of their cables which
had been ten years in the water. The
establishment of the fact that it was
possible to raise cable from such q
depth Of course gives an additional
value to all telegraphic property.

The Wild Sheep Of the Sierra.

At the base OF Sheep Rock, one OF the
winter strongholds of the Shasta f1ocks,
there lives stock-raiser who has the
advantage of observing the movements
of wild sheep every winter; and in the
course of conversation with him on the
subject of their diving habits, he point

only eight or ten degrees out of the

"No," he replied, 81 didn't see them
