EDTAED BR1sTow, 8 coloreI lad, was
the fist to be arraigned for an infrac
tion Of the laws Of the State in the new
Court House, and it fell to l.. c. Van
deg-ift and Harry Sharpley, Esqs., to
be She first oounsellors engaged IN the
first case. 1t has not transpired yet
who won the case, but it will no doubt
be the pride of each in after years when
silver threads are mixed with auburn
and red, when making public spseohes
TO refer to this incident-they being
the first attorneys to plead case in
our new Court House. Rristow, ~Leth

GENERAL GARPIELD will tomorrow for
the third time be elected President OF
the United States. He was elected by
the people on tbs first Tuesday iu No.
vember, and he was again elected by
the Electoral College in December, and
now tomorrow he is to be elected or
rather declared elected by the Congress
Of the United States. 1t will strike
many people that there is a little too
much election machinery in the cleo

A Baseless Precaution.

Know that the woman was extremely
sensitive, of q highly-nervous tempera-
ment, and painfully anxious in the mat
ter OF pleasing and accommodating her
guests. Know this, and then imagine
her feelings on the occasion which trans
pired as follows:
She had arranged for an evening
darty, and among the guests whom she
had invited was a middle-aged gentle
man, of high social standing
and wealthy, who had the misfortune to
have nose so strangely malformed as
to be scarcely perceptible simple pro-
tuberance in place of the nasal organ
and that was all.
Now our good lady friend CHANGED to
have little 3-year- old daughter, who
was utterly irrepressible in her eager
pursuit of knowledge; and, fearing that
the little one might make some remark
upon, or ask some question about, that
gentleman's facial defect, she took her
upon her knee, before the company ar
rived, and said to her:
Now look here, my little pet: Mr..
s. will be here this evening. and |
want you to promise me that you will
not say anything about his nose-that
you will neither ask any question nor
make any remark
The child promised, and then wen.
away to help the cook sample the sweet
meats.
Evening came, and with it came Mr..
s. Naturally enough Miss Tot
gave him at once severe scrutiny. She
made a critical study of his face: and,
when she had apparently satisfied her
self, she sought her mother.
Mamma !"--loud enough for all in
the room to ear-''hop 90 tell poe not
to ask 90 anysing about Mr.. s !
nose for? He hasn't dot ana p

THE DROUGHT IN TURKEY.

There was in Turkey, years ago,
fearful drought as all must know.
The Turks to Allah prayed for rain,
On hands and knees, but all In vain.
OF weather-prophets quite score
We're strangled-still It wouldn'tpour.
At last the Turks met in despair,
When one arose-the wisest there,
And said: eve need more help, we do;
Let's start the Jews a-praying, tool"
No sooner said than done. That day
Each Jew was ordered out to pray,
But, like the Turks, they prayed IN vain
The sun grew hotter, and the ground
Was burned tor miles and miles around.
The thirsty Turks, despairing more,
Assembled as they had before.
"If this keeps on" the wise man said,
In my opinion, we'll be dead.
But there's another card to play:
Make all the dogs Of Christians pray"
At once each Christian was at work
A-praying, guarded by Turk,
Who on the Prophets beard had sworn
TO kill each dog Of them by morn
Unle>s it rained. So all that night
The Christians prayed with main and might.
The morning broke, and, 10! the rain
Came down In foods, nor would It deign
To cease till all the Turks around
Begged it to stop, lest they'd be drowned.
When it had cleared the Turks came out.
Forgetting there had been drought,
And mad that Christian dogs could pray
And get an answer right away.
"Our Allah loves US not !" they cried.
1T isn't so," the sage replied;
"He loves to hear his faithful pray
So much he kent the rain avav
But, when the Christian dogs knelt down,
Great Allah's face assumed frown;
To listen to them no wouldn't deign,
Aud 80, to shut them up-sent rain.h

UnshOd Horses.

In Mexico, Peru, Brazil and else
where, unshod horses are daily worked
over roads Of all kinds, carrying heavy
packs from the interior down to the coast,
the journey to and fro being often extend
ed to several hundred miles, and they
never wear out their hoofs. The roads
are neither softer nor smoother than
those of England and Ireland. On the
wilds of Exmoor and Dartmoor, as also
in the Orkneys ana on the Welsh hills,
and In many parJs Of Continental Eu-.
rope, horses run unshod over rocks,
through ravines, and up and down pre-
cipitous ridges, yet they never suffer
from contracted feet, or from corns or
cracks, until they become civilized and
have been shod. Differences in the
quality Of the soil, be it hard or soft,
stony or sandy, smooth and slippery,
are Of comparatively little importance
to the horse whose feet are as nature
made them. The unshod horse can deal
successfully with all roads. In the re-
treat of the French army from Moscow,
the horses lost all their shoes before
they reached Vistala yet they found
their way to France over hard, rough
and frozen ground. The natural sole of
the horses foot is almost impenetrable.
It is so hard and strong as to protect the
sensible sole from all HARM And all
horses feet exposed to hard objects are
made harder by the contact, provided
only that the sole is not pared. Sir

The Commerce Of the World.

Little does the world think what
tremendous capital is required to
carry on it's travel, traffic. and COM.
merce. The railroad net woven all
over the globe, consists Of 100000
miles: Asia, Australia, and Africa
can claim only the fourteenth part;
the other thirteen.fourteenths being
nearly equally divided between
Europe and America. The rolling
stock in use over this railroad net
consist of 1000 locomotives, 100000
passenger and palace cars. and l,5OO.-
900 freight cars. The capital invested
in all the railways is estimated at
twenty millards of dollars. The COM
merce on the seas is carried on by H.
600 steamers and over 100000 sailing
vessels. The tonnage of these vessels
amounts to over twenty million tons.
Telegraphic communication is main
tanned by 100000 miles of wire, of
which about iye-elgths to America,
and fully one eighth to the submarine
telegraph system. There are 100000
stations, from which ll0.OOO,OOO dis
patches are sent annually, or on aver
age over 100000 daily. According to

A Strange Cure.

Recently has gone the rounds of
newspapers an improbable story of
the cure Of a nervous, painful affec
ton, of a rheumatic nature, by an old
tramp, who accomplished the wonder
full feat by passing and repassing the
little chap several times over the back
of a jackass. This treatment was
repeated every day for nine days, dur
ing which time it was observed that
the animal gradually became i'll, while
the child improved, until at the end
of the nine days the jack succumbed
to swollen limbs and body, and. the
child was completed restored. The
story, of course, was not taken with
out salt, inasmuch as the popular
impression is that while child, or
even man, would be perfectly cured
of all earthly ills by rubbing around
the vicinity of a mules hind propel-

population, Switzerland does the
most telegraphing, there being one
dispatch sent annually for every in
habitant. This is undoubtedly due
to the great annual influx of travel
ers and pleasure Next come
the Netherlands, and then Great
Britain. Russia stands last on the
list, as She sends only forty five dis
patches per annum for every thousand
inhabitants. The transmission of
letters by mail amounts in round num-
bers to about 1000 millions. Accord
ing to the population of the several
countries. the Americans write by far
the most letters; next come the Eng.

Netherlands, Denmark, Austria,

lers, the patient, for obvious reasons.
wouldn't be able tell much about It
afterward.
This case, however, is merely intro
ductory to brief allusion to cure
which was effected very singularly in
the fourteenth ward recently. Some
years ago a coal miner named Braun.
was afflicted SO badly with infamma-
tory rheumatism in his hands and
arms that ne was compelled to seek
another way of earning living.
Somewhere he heard that handling
doves would effect cure, and he pur-
chased a number of the birds. These
he would take up in his hands, stroke
and play with daily, and the result
was that the pair he thus manipulated
invariably became swollen up, first in
the legs and then in the body, pre-
cisely as though they had the rheu-
matism. Finally death would ensue.
In proportion as the doves became
swollen Braun's affection decreased,
and finally, after pursuing the strange
treatment for some time. he was able
to keep himself wholly relieved from
pain. He still raises doves for the
sacrifice, and winter and summer alike
he is able to pursue his business as a
dairyman, which vocation he took up
in lieu of coal-digging some years ago.
