A Beautiful Hand.

A beautiful hand is an excellent thing
in woman; it is charm that never fails,
il IS means of ficination that never
disappears. Women carry n beautiful
hand with them to the grave when a
beautiful face has long since vanished
or ceased 10 enchant. The expression
of the hand, too, is nexhaustible; and
when the eyes we may have worshiped
no longer fash or sparkle, the ringlets
with which we nave played are covered
with cap, or, worse, turban, and the
symmetrical presence which, in our SON.

lopcs and wild gazelles, have all, all
vanished, the hand, the immortal hand,
defying alike time and care, still van
qui,hcs and still triumphs; and small,
soft and fair, by an airy attitude, a
gentle pressure, or new ring, renews
with untiring grace the spell that bound
our enamored and adoring youth

The New York World, although gen
orally drawing sensible conclusions, gets
off its kcrbase and makes horses rec
tum of itself in the following remarkable
production:
The republicans of Dakota are leaving
no stone unturned to commend them
selves to the republicans in congress as
the right material out Of which to manu-
facture frst-class rotten-b borough State.
Organizing county governments on forg-
ed lists OF residents and Running one Of
the forgcrs for the United States Mar
shalahip to shield him from the conse-
qucnces is giving Il handsome pledge in
advance that if any Louisiana counting
out business is needed i'm 1884 the talent
for clerical errors will be found in Dako-
Ia. Issuing worthless bonds drawn up
by an artist from Newark, in New Jer-
sey, is following in the footsteps of the
glorious army of carpet baggers and is a
bid for Mahone's good will, since the
process involves the defrauding of the
creditors of the territory. Moving an 8
by 10 school-hous into each phantom
town of a bogus county and bonding it
at 81 800 per township is promoting
the cause Of education dear to the repub-
lican heart. If any member of the
grand old party does not think these
claims sufficient, let him reflect that Mr..
Window has a proprietary interest in
the intended state and has promised
one of its senatorships to General Edger-
ton in recognition Of the distinguished
public services rendered by him in
plugging the hole made in Mr.. Windows

At the closing Of the Bahway IN. J.)
Grammar School, Adolph Jacobs, aged
thirteen years, composed and read the
following composition on 1.-The Advan-
tage of Being a Boy"
a boy is generally born when he is
very young and gets to be man before
his mother. A boy is not so skittish as
q girl He takes mouse, which would
scare his sister half to death, and ties
string to its tail and swings 1t over his
head Then he is In his glory and
laughs at his sister, who is looking for
a knot-hole to hide in. He wears no
lace bibs or corsets, petticoats or skirts.
A boy possesses ten times more cheek
than girl, but if he ever does any mis-
chief he owns mp TO it with bright
smiling face. Girls are a great deal OF
trouble to their parents, who have to
keep them until somebody falls in love
with and marries them. Not SO with
the boy--he takes care Of horses, works
in the mine and raises cabin. All that
girls do for exercise is to make dolls,
chemises and crochet work, while the
boy, the spark Of mankind, is putting
mp some job to play on his teacher, or
playing the glorious game Of baseball.
Hurrah then, for the boys They are
the standard-bearers ofthe worldw

Judge Cox next took up the question of
the legal test of insanity, and decided
that a knowledge und appreciation of

must be taken as the correct test. Judge
Cox occupied tifty-hve inmates in read

The Deadwood Townsite Finally Settled

The Deadwood Townsite Finally Settled.
1t will be remembered by our readers,
that after the long contest before the
United States Land Office at DeadwoOd
in the summer of 1879, which lasted for
over three months, this case went up on
appeal to the commissioner Of the gen.
eral land office, on the 4th Of February,
1880. The acting commissioners decided
that all the land embraced within the
limits Of townsite entries Of Deadwood,
must be held to be valuable for mineral,
and the townsite entry must be held for
cancellation. From this wholesale deci-
sion Judge J. Y. Ofenbacher, in be-
half of the townsite occupants. took an
appeal in the case to the secretary of
the interior, (Schurz) but finding that
that distinguished official had rendered
decision in similar case literally
abolishing towns in mineral countries,
hence no relief could be expected from
Mr.. Schurz on the appeal. Judge Often
bacher, after reaching Washington in
March, 1880, at once prepared q bill for
the relief of townsite occupants, to meet
this and similar cases, and had the same
introduced by Mr.. Teller in the senate.
and Mr.. Bennett in the house. This
bill met with very determined oppC 81
ton from mining claimants and pretend
ed mineral claimants in Colorado, Ari-
zona, and other sections, as we'll as from
the Black Hills. But notwithstanding
this formidable position, the persistent
energetic effort Of Judge Offenbacher
and earnes, aid Judge of Judge Bennett

a Hlcariicss Mother.

Early the other morning the residents
of the house No. 262 Hamburg street,
Baltimore, discovered a child, named
Susan Green, aged nine years, lying in
their yard suffering with smallpox. The
case was at once reported 10 the Health
Office and Inspector Brown was dispatch
ed to the scene. Upon entering the yard
lie encountered Il pitable spectacle. Lying
prone upon her back was the little suffer-
er, nearly naked, her only covering being
a few filthy rags. The ground was frozen
hard, while under and around the child
there were several pools of water, which
were covered with ice. The child was
benumbed by the intense cold and unable
TO utter a word when placed in the am
bulance and removed to the Quarantine
Hospital. Upon inquiry it was learned
that the mother of the child, who lives in
the ncishhorhood, upon discovering last
night that the child had the smallpox at
once sent her out in the cold to find
shelter wherever she could, and it Is
thought the child wandered about until,
benumbed oy the cold, she entered the
yard to seek refuge and fearing 10 ask adj
mission to the house tainted from expos
ure. The mother, upon being told of the
case, remarked that she had "no time to
fool with her." that she had "place out
ut service which paid her better than
looking after child with the smallpox.
The case has caused some excitement in
the neighborhood. The Health Commits
sioner will prosecute the mother to the
full extent of the law.

Released from Prison.

The facts of the killing Of his sister
Mollie by Thomas J. De Jarnette, liz a
house of i'll fame at Danville, Va, are
fresh in the public mind, the crime having
created notable sensation in all parts Of
the country. De Jarnette, whose home
WAS in Rockingham County, North Caro-
lima. found his sister in the house and shot
her with pistol, causing her death almost
instantly. This was the autumn of 1880.
In February, 1881, he was tried for murder
and acquitted on the ground Of insanity.
In June, 1881. he was taken 10 the insane
asylum at Raleigh. Since his confinement
in the asylum he has conducted himself
well, and WAS allowed certain privileges
accorded to those whose mental improve
ment is plain. An application WAS made
not long since for his release from the
asylum, while Il habeas corpus was issued
in his behalf, returnable before Chief jus
iice Smith. De JarHctte is quite Il hand
some man, and looked in much better
health than when he was taken there in
1881. lie WAS - years old in August.
lie stated before the court that his phySi-
cal health gave way in 1879, and following
that came mental troubles. His family
was considering the idea of placing him
in an asylum for months before he killed
his sister. As 10 the Staying of his sister,
he says ut the time he WAS unconscious
that he WAS committing any otiense for
which any body would blame him, and
thought thar he Vas doing right. He WAS
dead to every moral impulse, and WAS in
this state Of mind for several months after
he was placed in the asylum, but then
began TO realize his crime, and look 1T it
as Other people did. De Jarnctte made
his statement in Il matter of fact way, and
without hesitation. He said further that
for months before he killed his sister he
slept little, ate little, and WAS physically
and mentally Il wreck; that he had often
contemplated suicide and once had nearly
completed preparations for taking his own
life Chief-Justicc Smith discharged the
prisoner, who left for his home at May

most kinds of domestic animals. They

leaves them with insufficient nuriment TO

imaginable to allow them TO fall away just
before going into winter quarters. When
cold weather arrives they will need adj
ditional food to keep up the animal tenn
peraturc, TO supply the necessary fuel. 1t
would require an extra large supply TO
restore lost flesh in addition. 1t may be 4
question in what way this extra t0od may
be best supplied. Perhaps with some it
may take the form of small ratiouS Of
