A Siclkening Story,

The trial of Judge E. st. Julien Cox,
of the Ninth Judicial District of Mime.
sofa, by the Senate of that State, has
ended in his election from the bench as
drunkard. In1peached by the House
last fall, he has been under trial for
more than two months; and the ups
and downs of his career, now in the gut.
ter and now on the bench, form queer
story. A rollicking, popular politician,
always free and easy with everybody,
and ready-witted lawyer, he became a
favorite in the part of Minnesota where
he fourished, and was elected Judge
in 1876 for seven years. He kept up
his bacchanalian habits after his eleva-
ton to the bench, and this debauched
magistrate could be found by day tip
ping in rum shops, and sometimes at
night in notorious houses. When he no
longer timed his TOPPING seasons to his
duties in court, but was fuddled on the
bence, it was determined to put an end
to his judicial career. Twenty charges
were brought against him ; but the last
two, relating to lewdness, were dropped
for various reasons. The first seventeen
charges specified cases of drunkenness
during court terms, and the eighteenth
alleged habitual intoxicatioH. A st.
Paul dispatch gives this summary of the
evidence:
1T reveals Cox in all conceivable
forms of intoxication, riot and debauch-
cry. One class of witnesses describe
hum drunk in the courtroom, un-
washed, blear-eyed, thick of speech,
and muddy of thought, Numbering,
bullying witnesses and lawyers, and
making the transaction of business i'm
possible. On severai occasions the
court was adjourned to give him time to
recover. Some of his official perform
ances were most grotesque. Another
witness describes a case in Lyons
County in which Judge Cox held court
in saloon to issue naturalization pa.
pers, and demanded that the newly
made citizen should treat before he
would sign the papers. 1t seems to have
been the regular practice for Court, bar,
jury, witnesses and spectators to get
drunk nightly, and the witnesses testi-
fled that Cox never passed the bottle.
One witness wanted to describe a scene
where the rest of the party rolled the
fuddled Judge over on his back and
played cards upon his judicial abdomen,
but the matter was ruled out. The most
prominent lawyer in tie district, Judge
Severance, swore to picking Cox out of
gutter in an alley, cleaning him off, and
taking him to q waiting courtroom.
Some of the most fragrant testimony
taken by the committee was excluded
from the Senate by the striking out of
the nineteenth and twentieth articles"

Begging Letters.

There are some things to be urged in
behalf of poverty, one of the chief OF
which is that one is not annoyed by
begging letters. A reporter of the New

hberality, was shown few specimens
of the opportunities for help almost
daily made by mail. Among those he
was allowed to copy were such as these,

Refused a Great Explorer.


Perhaps it is not generally known,
outside of the Western town where il
occurred, that the celebrated African
explorer, Henry M. Stanley, was about
a dozen years ago rejected as sutton by
bewitching little actress, at the time
attached to stock company playing at
Omaha, Nebraska. The entire company
was excellent, including, as it did, Jean
CLARA Walters and old Mrs. DeBar.
Stanley, who was then on the staff of
the Omaha Herald, was one of the most
desperately smitten of the little actress
admirers, and did his utmost to win her
heart and hand. But all in vain. She
afterward married handsome "Jake "
Baker. Eight years ago the sad news
came from st. Louis that the bewitch-
ing and once courted Annie Ward had
died there by suicide through sorrow,
caused by neglect and desertlon of her
husband. What different fate might
have been hers had she said Eyes" in
stead of "no" to the man destined to
become so famous. -NashWLle World

elm his own also," said Frederick,
darting forward and catching Mary,
who fell half fainting into his arms.
Poor Lizzie was quite cut out, and,
feeling herself rather de trop, thought,
as she said, that it would be best to save
her "hugging until another time, and
go and get his supper, and find out
what it all means. A good many Jokes
came off at Frederick's expense when
he came back at the end of half an hour
without Lizzie, but with the happy Mary
Ellis hanging on his arm. What long
explanations had then to be gone
through, with tales of frightful ad
venture and hair breadth escapes, until
the dawn of morning made the lights
grow dim and pale. Sir John johnson,
the brutal father of the young wife, who
looked upon Major Thomas with such
proud admiration, was dead, and the
old hall, the scene of their imprison-
ment, which the reader will remember
was destroyed, had been bestowed upon
hCI huSDdld dS SOIn0 reward IOr his
services to his country.
1t is unnecessary to dwell upon the
happiness of the reunited family.
Frederick and Mary were married of
course, and the narrative of his terrible
experiences served to while away many
long winters evening in after years.
In 1886 he was still living, well and
hearty, and was chosen one of the
electors of President and Vice President
for his native state the same year
Major Thomas Sammons was reelected
as member of Congress, and stopped
on his way to Washington at the
splendid residence of the surveyor
general-the former friend and COM
panion of Frederick in his hair breadth
escape from the Canadian fortress, and
then the husband of the bright-eyed
Lizzie Sammons, and jointly the pro-
prietor of brave sons and daughters.
These were the fortunes of the Summons
family during the most exciting period
of our country's history, but of those
who suffered, not all resulted thus
fortunately.

A Tramp Rooster.

Some of the residents in one quarter
of Middletown lately complained to a
policeman of tramp rooster that was
enticing away their hens, which laid
their eggs elsewhere than at home. It
seems the rooster came as tramp to a
place where the parties owned only a
single hen. One day he came to his
coop with a half dozen hens, which,
after laying there, went home at night.
This happened day after day till the
owners of the misguided fowls finally
procured a game cock, which gave the
Mormon rooster such thrashing that
he was unable to get home for day or
two. But he was bound to have fol-
lowing of his own, and few days later
he brought home some more hens from
another place, which staid all night,
laid there next day, and then went home.
Every day the rooster brought them to
his coop to lay. The family, though
they kept but one hen, were in the
habit Of getting from three to half
dozen eggs every day. The neighbors
made so much complaint about the
tramp rooster beguiling their hens that
he was finally killed to appease their
wrath. -MiddletoaV Press.

Diphtheria.

A report on diphtheria made to the
Minnesota Board of Health says: DIR.
Franklin Staples, of Winona, Mimi, after
an extended correspondence with ply
sicians in most of the counties of his
State has published report on diph-
as contagious and infectious, and dem
onstrates that it is on the increase, fact
due, in his opinion, to failure on the
part of physicians in recognizing its
self-propagatins properties to want OF
systematic nursing of patients suffering
from the disease to incomplete disin-
lection of premises attacked; and last
but not least, to the frequent inter
course of convalescents with healthy
persons. He maintains that strict regu-
lations. rigidly enforced, are the only
means adequate to cut short its career,
and since individual power is unable tc
cope with it, urges that every city and
town should devise efficient sanitary
laws, and let them be enforced by in.
telligent medical officers, who shall also
make it their. duty to instruct the PEG.
pie in sanitary rules. To guard against
contamination, he believes that filth,
whether from dirty rooms, soiled cloth.
ing, defective drains and cesspools, i'll.
ventilated rooms, poisonous inoderous
gases, ETC., should be regarded as con.
ditions which invite the disease; that
the apartment set apart for the patient
should be Invested of all furniture, car.
pets, curtains and fabrics of any kind
not absolutely required; that dis
charges from the nose, mouth and
bowels should be carefully collected and
destroyed, and that all personal clothing,
bed linen, etc., should be thoroughly
disinfected before being sent to the gen.
eral wash. In case of death, all cloth
ing and unimportant articles should be
burnt, the body should be Immediately
disinfected and put into its coffin, which
should be kept permanently closed.
There should be no public funeral. He
prefers disinfection by chlorine gas,
which is to be set free in the room.
Ventilation for a number of hours
should then be insisted upon. Precau-
tons falling short of these DIR. Staples
considers to be useless in preventing
the spread of the infection.

How Note of Henry Clay was Paid.

Mr.. John Wentworth, in lecture on
Henry Clay in Chicago, told the follow
ing story:
"Mr. Clay had large and expensive
family, and he keenly felt his poverty,
while he lost no opportunity of express
ing his gratitude to friends, known and
unknown, for all kinds of favors. The
day upon which Mr.. Webster made his
celebrated speech, in March, 1850, he
was highly eulogizing it at dinner, when
some one asked him if he did not think
Mr.. Webster's influence had been great
ly impaired by his allowing certain
wealthy men in Massachusetts to settle
an annuity upon him for abandoning
his practice in the courts SO as to de-
vote more time to public affairs. Mr..
Clay responded: 'In view of the man
ner in which my note was paid at a
bank in Kentucky, do not think l
ought to speak upon that subject.
With difficulty had l raised the money
to pay the interest, when l went to the
bank to ask renewal. The cashier
told me I had no note there. 1 asked
him what had become of it, and he said
he was instructed to answer no ques-

find out who paid it but, turning to
Judge Conrad, of New Orleans, he said,
Judge, 1 always supposed you had
something to do with that matter To
which he responded: whether or any
one else had anything to do with the
matter, you will never know Mr..
Clay then said: In view of my many
opponents, I am as thankful for the Sc
crecy as the money; but, when I am
free from public life, am going to in
sist upon knowing who were such bene-
factors When some one said: MIR.
Clay, your friends will never let you be
free from public life.' In that view,
gentlemen said he, bear witness to
my inexpressible gratitude to my
friends, not only for their favor, but for
their manner Of bestowing it, adding
that there was but one unpleasant
thing about it that it was the only
present that he had ever received that
he could not divide with his friends.
Here Judge Conrad observed: That
need not trouble you, as you had liber-
ally divided the proceeds before you
gave the note.' You are right said
Clay; the note was given principally to
take up the paper of friends which l
