Prompt Punishment.

Chicago, Feb. 1S.-Rev. Michael
Finerty, pastor of the Methodist
church at Mokena, Will county,
ILL.,, was locked up in the Chicago
avenue police station this evening,
on warrant sworn out by Miss
May Sheridan, charging him with
an assault of improper character.
The assault is alleged to have been
made last Monday evening, at the
residence of a lady friend on the
North Side, this city. Miss Sheri-
dan resisted bis advances, and her
assistance Mrs. Grow. The two
ladies turned upon the preacher
and administered a severe castiga-
ton. Mrs. Grow was armed with
q cowbide, and, from the looks of
Finerty's face, did considerable ex-
ecution. Miss Sheridan lacerated
his nose very badly with her finger
nails.
Finerty's examination has been
set down for Monday. He says it
is a clear case OF blackmail. To
the Rev. Frank M, Bristol, pastor
OF Trinity VI. Il. church, Wabash
avenue, he said today, ''this is
case of blackmail." Rev. Bristol
was accompanied on his visit by
Rev. DIR. Colwell, presiding elder of
the Joliet district, which embraces
the territory in which the prisoners
church is located. Rev. Colwell
asked him if he followed Miss
Sheridan into her bed-chamber
when she went after her album, and
he replied, ayes, but she made me

rejoinder.

Chicago Times.
During the Presidential canvass
in the fall of 1880, it WAS alleged
that Gen. Garfield, while II mem
Der of congress, eorrnptiy received
1929 from Oakes Ames in c0nnec-
tiOn with the Credit -Mobliler bnsi-
ness. One day, somewhere down
East, q party of boys, set on by
some dry Democratic joker, gained
access to "a hall in which a repub-
lican meeting was to be held in the
evening, aud marked up, in con-
spicons places about the room, the
figures 329. The incident got upon
the wires as good joke. and It
took like wildiire. Inside OF TWEEN
ty.tour hour the dead-walls, fences,
sidewalks, and many places dit.
ticult of access were emblazoned
with the number. 1t became,
in fact, an element in the
campaign, and u superstition
grew up that it would follow the
object of the raillery through his
future career. When the president
was shot, the first question was:
"How many days have passed since
his nomination A little rehec-
ton called up the fact that it was
over a year. When be died, an at.
tempt was made to figure out 329
in the lapse of days after his cleo
ton, but 1t failed to bring out the
required number by about two
weeks: and now, since the convic-
ton OF Guiteau, the inquiry natu-
tally turns in the same direction.
This tune the fatality comes ont.
Guiteau was convicted on the 320th
day after the Inauguration of pres
ident Garfield. From March 4 to
January %, inclusive is 32S days;
but the Inauguration occurred at
noon on the 4th day Of March, and
Guiteau was not convicted until
late in the afternoon of the 10Th OF
January, which was the 329th day,
it having begun ut l. O'Clock
meridian.

A New Use for Billy Goats.

The farmers of Huuterdon and
Somerset counties, N. j., use goats
to protect their sheep from dogs.
Two goats can driye away dozen
dogs, and two are about all each
farmer puts in with his sheep. As
soon as n dog enters a feld at night
the goats attack him, and their but
ting propensities are too much for
the canine, who soon finds himself
rolling over and over. As few repo-
titions of this treatment cause the
dog to quit the field, linping aud
yelling. Formerly, when q dog en-
tered sheep field at night, the
sheep would run wildly around and
cry piteously. Since the goats
have been used to guard them,
they form in line behind the goats
and seem to enjoy tue fun. The
idea of utilizing goats in this way
came from the West, where they
are put in sheep rensto drive away
wolves.

Gov. Biackburns Quilting and
Candy Pulling.

COurier-Jsurnal.
The quilting at the Executive
mansion ut Frankfort on the l2th
ult., was the most enjoyable event
ever witnessed at the State capital.
At least a thousand persons par
took of the right royal Kentucky
cheer and participated in the re.
iuvinating reels and jigs. This was
for a fact, the Governors own
frolic, and Mrs. Blackburn stood
off and lent every whim and fancy
and approving style. The Governor
was in town, and the mansion
bloomed like a rose.
There was not a sembiance of
constrained conventionality, and
every one entered in the joys of
the evening in hearty Kentucky
way. The quilt was actually flu
ished in the presence of the guests
by tho young ladies and gentle
men. IL was of lavender silk and
beautiful, and when the gaslight
fell upon it the scene was like the
waves of deep Galilee under the
starlight of the Oriental sky.
The young ladies were dressed
most picturesquely in full figured
calicoes of ancientcut, with banged
and powdered hair, crowned with
huge black combs.
Miss Dorsie Stanton appeared in
a dress worn by her grandmother
one hundred years ago.
PiQuaint Miss Polk was the 70.
Gus of all eyes in her quaint, but
beautifully becoming Mother Hub
bard costume. Her beauty aud
witchery and double shuttle darkey
dances set everybody wild with
delight. She was too, too quite.
TheOld darkey hddlers took their
places in the corner at the proper
time, aud the reels rolled on until
midnight. The most Interesting
features of the evening was a reel,
in which Mrs. Blackburn, Miss
Blackburn, Miss Polk, Miss Sayre
and Miss Stanton took part, aud in
tho yisavis line were such young
men as Governor Blackburn, DR..
G. G. Graham, of Louisville; Sena.
tor Blaine, of Lincoln county; Col.
Jake Rice, Of Lawrence; Repre-
sentative Baily, Representative
May, of Shelby; and other lah da
dahs. DIR. Graham had not danced
before for eight years. lie is now
nlnety-eight years of age, and it
was wonderful how he could cut
the "pigeOn wing.'
The supper was in keeping with
the spirit oil the occasion. Sixteen
possums and four pigs smoked Oh
the festal board. Other delicaces
were in abundance. Apple toddy
was ladled from q tathomless punch
bowl.
Later on, a candy pulling engaged
the attention of the young folks,
and they all got stuck on the
strength of it.
The reception lasted from four
O'Clock in the afternoon until
twelve at night, and all of the rep
resentative, State officers and IA
great number of Frankfort people
and distinguished strangers were
present.
