DEGREE.-The Allison murder trial, which
was brought To close on Monday in the

among the ahlpst members Of the Indiana
bar. and the hearing was fair full and free.
Nearly FIVE days were occupied in the taking
of testimony. ard the examination OF wit
nesses was Skillfuly conducted on both sides.
IL was satisfactorily demonstrated that much
bad blood existed between some of the men,
bers Of the Allison family, and the cuimina-

An ELECTRIC TELEPHONE LINE To'CAR-
OLLTowN.-Thauks to the efforts of our
enterprising merchant friend up street, Mr..
NJ. L. Oatman, who has taken considerable
interest in the matter and is determined, If
possible, tu AXE The thing q success, the
Central District and Printing Telegraph Co.
of Pittsburgh has been induced to undertake
the construction of an electric telephone line
be tween this place and CarrOltown provided,
OF course, the enterprise meets with sufficient
encouragement from those immediately in
terrSted to make il worth while. The Com
pduy in question will furnish the necessary
batteries, telephones, wire, etc and con
struct and keep tie line in thorough repair
while those To whom it cannot but prove
great convenience are expected to provide
the poles and have them placed in position.
For this latter purpose subscription book
has been opened al the store af Mr.. Oatman,
IN this place, and q similar book will be left
in CaTrOltown, the intention at both ends of
the line being to solicit subscriptions direct
from the people, who will be called on at
their places of business between this and
the first of next May. 1t is proper to say in
this connection, that the proposed enterprise
will be conducted on the same princlpe as
telegraph lines are now conducted. though
the rates will be much lower not exceeding
% rents fOI twenty words. We need scarce
ly urge upon the people interested, and es-
peciaily upon the citizens of Carrulltown and
vicinity, the Importance of subscribing early
and literally t. this really meritorious ei ter
prise, which, if carried to a successful com
p!rtion, it is hoped it will he early next
summer, cannot fail to prove great con-
venience 10 all concerned. 1t is simple JUS
tice to say that Mr.. Oatman is entitled to a
great zeal of credit for securing the cooper
alton Of the Pittsburgh company referred to
a cooperation which we have good reason
to believe could not have been secured except
by his efforts and while he is determined to
leave nothing undOne to make the undertak
ing a complete success. it is certainly not
asking too much of the business men OF this
place and CarrOltown to lend a helping hand
to an enterprise which will be of SO much
benefit and convenience to both communities

A farmer of London Township,
Ont, noticed one morning that wild
goose had Joined his flock. Somewhat
surprised at this sudden change to domes-
tic life, be carefully observed the behav.
ior of the visitor. H. soon learned that
it had not actually Joined it's baru-yard
releatives, but only appeared at meal
time. Further investigation showed
that after the goose had thoroug bly, sat
is6ed her own appetite she would pick
up an ear ofcorn and fly away. Greatly
interested by the strange conduct of the
bird, the farmer one morning watched
the direction of its flight. 1t was but q
short distance to the river, and ne motto.
ed that after circling the goose dopped
apparently into the river. Going down
the bank, he discovered his visitor stand
ing by companion who was lying on
the ground and feeding On the car of corn.
In order to understand this restaurant
project he walked up to the feeder and
found that it had been so disabled that
it could neither walk nor ay.-
Without disturbing it he return
ed and morning after morning
watched the generous goose carry away
an ear of corn. Finally the visits ceased,
but shortly afterwards the sick gander
himself waddled into the camp and COB
bled up the corn himself. He has re-
mained all winter, and tho indications
are that he has made up his mind to set
tie down and 60 to housekeeping.

About Editors.

Every editor loves to have his friends,
and particularly his readers, call on him.
They belong to the same family, as it
we're. But when you call to see tue
editor don't stay too long. Editors are
generally very busy in business hours.
If you have any suggestions to make or
news to communicate, state it in as few
words as possible. Don't offer any ex-
cuses or indulge in q long preface 70
what you have to say. Blurt it right
out; tell the editor you wish him we'll,
and bid him guod.dsy. Editors dote on
such men as that; they love to receive
calls from them. Don't argue with
them; don't try to do it; be has no time
for argument while at his work.
When you write to an editor for publica.
ton, make it short-boil it down. Pitch
right into the middle of your subject,
and be sure to stop writing when you
are through. Editors always like somo-
thing fresh and original in the way of
communications, and are especially fond
of news. But the editor must always be
the Judge of what is worthy of publica-
ton. Of course every writer thinks his
own production the best, just as every
mother thinks her baby the prettiest
that ever was born. But the editor may
be so stupid as to have different opin-
ion. Ifso, it can't be helped. Don't
try to argue him out of his notion. II
he is too stupid to appreciate good
thing, you cau't expect to remedy his
dullness. You may think you are good
deal smarter than the editor, and that
may be true, but the editor may be re.
sponsible and you are not. There is nc
class of people 80 covetous of the good
opinion of others. 1t is we'll to remem.

The Insanity Dodge.

In murder trials these days the plea of
insanity has become 80 common as to
be regarded almost matter of course.
Ifa man, harboring in his breast the
resentments of years, meets the object of
his dislike on the streets and shoots him
down, it is suddenly discovered that he
was insane; if filled with bad whiskey
he-goes home at night and beats his wife
to death, he il found to he insane; it
he hunts up poor betrayed girl, whom
he calls sister and savagely murders her,
he is insane; if he deliberately points
gun and pours handful of buckshot
nto the body of an aged father, insanity
come to his relief, and the more cody
planned and diabolically executed the
better; the greater the atrocity, the more
powerful element it becomes in the de-
fence. In point of economy, at least, for
justice does not meet consideration, it
would be better to repeal the criminal
code as it applies to murderers, and send
them red-handled to some friendly asy.
lum to be treated and turned loose in q
little while indulge their insane freaks
OH other victims.
There is Judge in California, howev-
er, who does not believe in the insane
dodge, and recently sentenced two men
who we're tried tor murder and put in the
usual plea. The Judge instructed the
Jury that the insanity must be established
at the time the murder was committed,
not by inference but by unquestionable
proof, not by the opinion of experts, but
By facts which left no doubt in the minds
of the jury.
lfjudges generally took this view of it
Justice would be more frequently dis.
pensed and murders would be less fire.

A Real Enoch Arden.
ROCHESTER, N. Y, May

ROCHESTER, n. Y, May Is.
Patrick Iveus, niue years ago, left his
wife and two children at Auburn and
went to Dakota Territory to seek his for
tune. Three days after his departure
Mrs. Ivens received word that her hus.
band was dead, and never afterward
heard anything concerning him. The
DOOR woman sold what little property she
had aud came here to earn living. BY
hard toll she managed to support herself
and children, and she led al honest and
industrious life. In 1873 she won the
affection of John H. Hughes, bookkeeper
for large dry goods house, and WAS mar.
ried to him, and the couple have lived
happily and comfortably together since:
Yesterday Ivens appeared in town and
hunted up his wife and children, and ap-
peared astonished at their good fortune
and contentment. He expressed himself
as amazed at his wife's marriage, and
said he never caused notice of his death
to be sent her, but regularly remitted her
the sum of ten dollars week during his
entire absence. He says the whole thing
has been put.up JOB on him by some
person who has been taking his money.
Mrs. Hughes refused absolutely to sepa-
rate from her present husband. Her
friend, says they have good reason for
doubling Ivens' story about his constan.
cy and remittances. There is no doubt,
however, that Ivens bears strong love
for Mrs. Hughes, as, after endeayoring
by every argument in his power to induce
her to again live with him, the interview
between them being calm and deliber.
ate conference, he said he was convinced
that she was happy in her present lot
and he would never again disturb her.
He at once started again for the West.
The mans straitforward conduct while
here and the broken.down spirit he man.
ifested when he left town have created
the impression that after all his story
was true. The belief is gaining ground
that the couple have been separated by
some rascal who has regularly benefited
by his meanness, as Iveus, on his return
from the West, went straight to Auburn
after his family, thinking they were still
there,

Uncle Nose Expounds the Scriptures.

Jim Webster, a saddle. .colored sport,
provoked quarrel with old Uncle Nose,
and the consequence was that the old

fearful pounding. They were, however,
separated by mutual friends before any
very serious damage had been done to
either of these distinguished colored citi.
zens.

his elbow, and examining it to see if
there was any blood on it. "Dat ar is

A GANDER LEADS BLIND HOEsE.-
1t is said that the greatest difference
between man and brutes is shown by the
love and friendship existing in the hu-
man family, which is never seen in the
lower orders of the animal creation. But
it sometimes occurs that community of
feeling is exhibited in as marked de.
gree by the brute as can be found among
human beings. Mr.. Phillips, G we'll
known citizen living on the Franklin
Pike, six miles from the city, owned an
old blind horse. A flock of geese occu-
pied the pasture joining with him. An
old gander, seeing the difficulty the horse
had to 20 around, attached himself to
the horse, leaving his fellows for that
purpose. All day long the gander could
be seen going in front of the horse, CIV
ing signs of his presence by constant
cackle, the horse following the sound.
The gander carried the horse to the
best pasture and to water. A perfect un,
derstanding was had between them and
they seemed to know what each wanted.
At night the gander accompanied the
horse to the stall, sat under the trough,
and the horse would occasionally bite
off mouthful of corn and drop it on the
ground for his feathered friend, and thus
they would share each others meals.
Finally, on one Sunday, the old horse
died. The gander seemed utterly lost,
wandered about disconsolately, looking
everywhere for his old comrade, refusing
all food, and at the end ofa week he, too,
died, although his life was but just be.
gun, for goose will live forty or fifty
years. This is q true story, and can be
verified by numbers of persons who often
saw the strange parties marching around,
and displays the wonderful affection that
sometimes springs up among the lower
orders,

SOLOMON AND THE BLACKSMITH
The story goes that during the building
of Solomon's temple, the wise ruler de-
cided to treat the artisans employed on
his famous edi6ce to banquet. While
the men were enjoying the good things
his bounty had provided King Solomon
moved about from table to table, endeav-
oring to become better acquainted with
his workmen. To one he said:
"My friend what's your trade 2"
ga carpenter"
"And who makes your tools?"
"The blacksmith"
To another Solomon said:
"What ia your trade?"
"a mason"
"And who makes your tools7"
"The blacksmith"
The third stated that he was a stone
cutter, and that the blacksmith also made
his tools. The fourth man that King
Solomon adressed was the blacksmith
himself. He was a powerful man with
buried arms, on which the muscles
stood out in bold relief, seemingly almost
as hard as the metal he worked.
"And what is your trade, my good
man? said the King.
"Blacksmith," laconically replied the
man of the anvil and sledge.
"And who makes your tools?"
"Make 'em myself"
Whereupon King Solomon immediate.
ly proclaimed him the king of mechanics,
because he could not only make his own
tools, but all other artisans were forced to
20 to him to have their tools made.
