A $4,000 Beava.

A NOVEL ease was that of Cox against
Eayres recently heard before the SUI
preme Court, at Rutland. Cox was con-
victed of an offense under the liquor
law, and sentenced to pay fine in twen-
ty-four hours or be committed to the
House of Correction, and was placed in
the custody of the Sheriff for safe keep
ing during the twenty-four hours. The
Sheriff took him to the House of Cor
rection and left him. The Superintend-
emit, Eayres, explained to him that by
waving the twenty-four hour privilege
and being committed at once he would
save costs. Under the rules of the in
stitution his beard, q very heavy one,
worn for fifteen years, was removed.
Cox, protested, but without avail. From
this shaving sore throat resulted which
endangered Cox's life. He sued the
Superintendent for 81, 900. At the trial
last fall, Judge Rose told the jury that
Cox had right TO waive the twenty -four
hour privilege, and the jury found for
the defendant. The Supreme Court has
reversed this decision. Judge Pierpoint
holding that the law committed the
prisoner from.a certain time to q certain
time, and that neither he nor any other
power could commit him before, and
that any one shaving him without his
consent before that time was liable, and
sent the case back for new trial. The
result will doubtless be heavy verdict,
as the proof of the damage is clear

Shipping Live Hogs to Germany.

A CURIOUS experiment has been tried
in Germany for some months past with
success. It is the importation of live
hogs from the United States at the port
of Bremerhaven, from whence they are
shipped to Hanover, finding, ready
market at Brunswick, Magdeburg, Cas-
sci and other North German cities. Last
June decree was issued forbidding the
importation of American chopped pork
and sausages into Germany, presumably
on trichinatous grounds, and some in
genious butchers hit upon this method
Of evading the act, which said nothing
about live hogs. It was at first thought
that so May hogs would die upon the
voyage as to make the experiment rath-
er unremunerative, loss of five per
cent. being the lowest that was thought
probable. Experience, however, has
proved that the loss is under two and
one-half per cent, which gave such an
impetus to the undertaking that COM
pany has been formed for the purpose of
building large lairs for the arrivals at
Bremerhaven, which is to be the hog
depot for Germany, the animals being
killed there and dispatched into the in
terror by rail. The American hog has
more fat substance and less meat than
his German relative, and suggestion
has been made to import a number Of
German pigs into America for breeding
purposes.-NeU Yori; Sun.

Dreams that Came True.

A BELIEF in the truth of dream-warn-
ing has fingered even to our day. It
was yet more prevalent in past centuries.
Macaulay has ridiculed Archbishop Laud
for the care with which he recorded his
dreams in his diary; but the prelate was
no more superstitious in this respect
than were many of his contemporaries.
The medieval historians generally note
some dream prophecy before any great
event took place. Apious monk dreamt
of the fatal accident that should befall
the Red King. Henry Nv. of France
was oppressed by evil dreams the night
preceding his assassination. 1t is an
undisputed fact that, in the present CEN
fury, murder was discovered from the
circumstance of one Of the parents of
the victim dreaming where the body was
concealed.
Bishop Hall relates a curious story of
cure effected by means of dream; a
cripple dreaming that he bathed in a
certain well in Cornwall and was re-
stored to health. Acting on this vision
airy prescription he recovered the use of
his limbs. The Bishop attributes this
dream to ga good angel" Probably,
as Lord Byron says of prophecies, peo-
pie note the fulfillment of dreams and
forget the failures-pass over the ninety
nine baseless visions, but record the
hundredth that happens to be verified.
Authors, artists and musicians have
carried on their work in their dreams,
sometimes with more success than in
their waking hours. Tartini, an Italian
composer, dreamt that he heard a fiend
perform an elaborate solo on the violin.
He attempted to reproduce it when
awake; but, though his ''Devil's Som
alta - is ranked among his finest produc-
tons, the composer declared that it was
so inferior to the music of his dream
that he could have broken his instru-
ment with vexation at his failure to re-
produce the beautiful melody. Condor
Get and Franklin worked out elaborate
calculations in their sleep, and remem-
bered them on awakiEg. Lord Thurlow
is said to have composed part of Latin
poem in a dream; and Sir j. Herscheli
has left verse which occurred to him
in similar circumstances. Goethe re-
cords that his dreams often assisted him
in his compositions london Glcbs.

A Troublesome Invention.

WE have no words of blame for Mr..
| Bottlewasher. He meant well. He got
sick of wading through the mud on
crossings and so he invented his street
crosser. It was q tremendous spring
located in the toe of each of pair of
overshoes. When the wearer stepped
his foot down fiat it didn't work, but
when he arose on tip-toe the spring
jumped him clear across the street.
Mr.. Bottlewasher started out to try the
invention. The first attempt he made
was at Park Square, and the spring
wasn't strong enough to clear it, but set
him down with great violence square in
puddle, and he got badly spattered.
But he wasn't discouraged. He tried it
on Bromield Street, which is narrow.
That time the spring seemed to have
more force, for it shot him clear across
the street and through the open door Of
an eating house, and he came in such
.Riolent contact with man who sat with
lis back to the door that both he and
fthe table went over, and both gentle
men were mixed up with the dinner on
the floor. The upset man had to be
held while things were explained, and
even then said if it was tried again some
body would get hurt. Then Bottle
washer went out and tried the thing on
fremont Street, and that time he
just cleared the street and upset
fat man on the side where he
alighted. The fat man proposed to stab
him, and could with difficulty be paci-
fed. This broke Bottlewasher's heart,
and he took off the overshoes and gave
them to Count Fondowhiski, an Italian
nobleman, who collects bottles, rags,
etc., about the street. Mr.. Bottlewasher
didn't explain the invention to the Count.
who put on the overshoes. He started
off, and coming to crossing, proposed
to tip-toe across. As he was STOPPING
over, with his pack on his back, the re-
suit was that he was not jumped across
the street, but sent across by seven SOM
ersaults and ten hand-springs, while the
air was just filled with bottles, rags,
etc., from his pack. He threw six peo-
pie and dog when he reached the side
walk. A policeman grabbed him and
lifted him up on tip-toe. The spring
worked, and both we're hurled into the
mud and got their mouths full of it..
The officer got him to the station at last,
but had hard time of it; and two jail
ers, trying to get him down stairs, got
him there and themselves, too, in sud-
den order. Then they discovered what
the matter was. The Count was re-
leased and has sworn vendetta against
Mr.. Bottlewasher, and when he gets
well will see that gentleman.-Boston

d CRYSTAL WEDDING.

!" IT'S time for our crystal wedding"
Said Mr.. Frost to his wife,
With a suddenly sharp expression,
That cut like . twO-edged knife.
The North Wind must be invited
TO bring his friend from the East
And none of our friends must be sighted
Or fail to appear at the feast"
So then they began TO make ready
With speed. regardless of cost,
For the beautiful crystal wedding
OF Mr.. and Mrs. Frost.
The North and the East Wind called for
Miss Snow and old Mister Sleet,
And all Of that party together
Were sure to have things complete.
In honor of the occasion,
Tue houses with fringe they drape.
Rich beads and bugleS of crystal
Suspended in every shape.
While all the poles and the chimneys
We're dreSt in transparent suits,
And the trees were overloaded
With lOvelieSt glazed fruits.
The Telegraphs were invited,
So out of town couldn't go;
And the Telephones failed to answer
When any one cried Hal.O!'
The magnateS were not forgotten,
Who stand in serene repose,
And Franklin made his appearance,
With an icicle on his nose.
There were acres on acres OF icing,
And wonderful rivers and lakes;
Most beautiful caves and grOttOes,
And delicate frosted caxes;
While cobweb curtains suspended
Above the scene, in mid-air,
Lent charm to the crystal wedding,
That proved such grand affair. -
Decanters and tumblers. engraven IS
With initials of old Jack Frost,
Were scattered about in prOfusion-
No telling just what they cost;
And couldn't begin to number
How many from out of town
Came in to this crystal wedding,
And at the banquet sat down.
Old Sol got wind of the matter ~.
Just as he was going to bed,
And out from between the curtains
He suddenly popped his head
And smiled, as with glowing fingers
He took Jack Frost by the ears,
And lOOSened the pearls and diamonds,
That straightway dissolved in tears.
Soon faded the lovely picture,
The limpid and sparkling sheen,
That seemed, to our raptured vision,
Like unto q fairy scene;
And some will remember the beauty,
And some will remember the cost
OF the wonderful crystal wedding
OF Mr.. and Mrs. Frost.

The Banner says it is about time the
south was quitting politics and that de-
mocracy is a myth and a thing of the
past. For the south to quit politics
would be suicidal, criminal and idiotic.
To surrender for all time the control of
the government to a party whose chief
characteristic is pecculation would be
reasonable. The south is as much in
duty bound to sustain the government
in its purity as the snOrth, and if she
goes out of politics chow foolish it
sounds y she neglects a stern duty
And the south has right to contend
for division OF the hundred thousand
federal offices and the millions of money
that flow out through these channels, as
we'll as ito seek her proportion of the
millions of appropriations for public en-
terprises, and to go out OF politics chow
ineffably nonsensical the expression) is
to surrender her just property in these
things. Democracy is not the transient
creature of day, but a principle in free
government, as undying as the mean
ing of liberty, and to desert it is treas
enable and to surrender is cowardice.-|
The mistakes of leaders does not affect
the principles of the party, and to quit
it and give up the battle is miserable
to men and forces that should
be stamped upon instead of yielded to
There may be local matters at times of
more present importance, but the great
should be kept in motion
and when occasion requires the whole
current turned on. Democracy is like
ly to suffer grand bounce in Tennes-
see, but "never say die" is one of its
cardinal elements which a few deser-
tions cannot affect.
