Why the ParsOn Left Kentucky.

from the IoXa6 Sl1QDgS.
A good many years ago, when a certain
place in Texas was very small town, quite
a number Of prominent citizens went out
on hunting expedition. One night when
they were all gathered around the camp fire,
one Of the party suggested that each man
should give the time and reason for leaving
his native state and coming to Texas, where
upon each one in turn told his experience.
Judge Blank had killed man in self de-
fence, In Arkansaw, Gen. Soandoso, had
forged another mans signature to check,
while another came to Texas on account of
his having two wives. The only man who
did not make any disclosures was sancti-
monious looking old man who, although
professional gambler, was usually called
"Parson."
"Well, Parson, why did you leave Ken
tucky2"
II don't care to say anything about it.
Besides, it was only q trifie. None of you
would believe me anyhow"
Out with it! Did you shoot any
body?"
mo, gentlemen, I did not. Since
you want to know so bad I'll tell you. I
left Kentucky because did not build
church."
Deep silence fell on the group. No such
excuse Tor coming to Texas had ever been
heard Of before. There was evidently an
unexplained mystery at the bottom. Of it.
The aParson" was called on to furnish more
tight. -
Well. gentlemen, you see : oonpreoa-
ton raised So 900 and turned ( it
over to me to build churoh-and I didn't
build the church. That's oil.

JUDGE Cox has emerged from the Gui-
teau triA with untarnished reputation. The
cheap newspaper backs who sought to OK.
cite popular prejudice against him did not
know so mucn about the case as the pre-
siding judge. It was a remarkable trial in
many respects and could not be governed
by ordinary rules of procedure. Judge
Cox understood the situation from the be-
ginning and that cannot be said of many of
his maligners. He acted constantly after con-
sultation with the members of the supreme
court OF the district. His charge is pro-
nounced masterpiece and it will 90 down
in legal history as the clearest review of
the greatest of modern trials. There was
no doubt Of the verdict after the charge
had been delivered.

TIE GUlTEAU CASE.
What Will be the Next Move-Opintons OF

In regard to the proposed new trial on the
part Of the defense, the district attorney SAYS:
There is no chance in the world for a new
trial. The counsel for the defense are allowed
four days for fling . motion for new trial
That period will be next Saturday. A they
have been granted every privilege during the
long trial just closed, the motion will, think,
be denied The prisoner cannot be hung until
thirty days after the general term, which wilt
end about the first Of June. No exception will
be taksn to the verdict"
Mr.. Sc07ille, the counsel OF Guiteau saii, that
the next move in the Guiteau case would b, 4
motion for now trial, which he expects t, q =
Saturday. The main points ON which it viii DO
based are that the jury erred in sending il .
verdict contrary to law, and they erred in re1
dering very contrary to evidences. Should tie

The polygamans mormons have kindled
back fire for their own protection against
further and more effective congressional
legislation. 1t is stated that they have gath
cred details showing immoral conduct on

that this business has been so perfectly car
ried out that it is passible in almost every
instance to plead truth in justification of
any suit that might arise from the publica-

at Fort Hayes, Kansas between the white
and the colored soldiers in which severe'
have been killed and wounded. In the
army there are two regiments of colored
infantry and two of cavalry. Formerly there
were four regiments of infantry but two
have been disbanded. The two races do
not live peaceably together, and probably
both are somewhat to blame.

The salt question has been thoronoh1

The salt question has been thoroughly
investigated by the Massachusetts, aericul-
tural society and the conclusions are that
salt as manure has the property of hasten
ing the maturing of all grain crops; that
wheat on sailed land will ripen six to ten
days earlier than on unsalted land, all Other
conditions being equal. That it increases
the yield from Is to so per cent. That it
stitfens the straw and prevents rust an
smut. That 1t checks if it does not entirely
prevent, the ravages Of the chinch- bug.
The quantity used may be from one hun
ared and fifty to three hundred pounds pc,
acre; but the greater quantity is the better.
