Sam Brunell, of Missoula, Montana,
was arrested recently for selling liquor
to squaw. His counsel defended him
upon the ground that he was insane, and
the jury acquitted him. He was imme-
diately rearrested on charge of insani-
ty and convicted and sent to the asy-
lum. He remarked that he would lust
as soon 90 to the penitentiary as the in
sane asylum.

Land at Winnipeg, the capital city of
Manitoba, has bounded in price from
$50 per acre, last fall, to 81 600 per acre
now The town is full of people. The
hotels are so crowded that guests are
glad to get chance to sleep on the hall
floor Meals are served from daylight
till late at night. 1t often happens that
weak men are injured by the jam in try
ing to obtain a place at the tables.
There is an active demand for all kinds
of labor, provisions and building mate

A New York beggar is said to earn
from $500 to $1,000 day by trick
which seldom fails to excite the sympa-
thy of Broadway pedestrians. His way
OF attracting attention is to dart at a
dirty piece of food lying on the side
walk, thrust the morsel into his mouth,
and crunch it between his teeth like
hungry hound. But the effect of the
performance is somewhat lessened on
the minds of those who know that he
carries crusts of bread and apple cores
in his pockets, ready TO drop and masti-
cate at the first favorable opportunity.
The New York Herald describes Dion
Boucicault as short stout man, beard
less save for minute mustache. His
Shaksperian head is perfectly bald, and
although over GO he would pass for so
years of age. In clerical attire he would
pass for Roman priest. He dresses
simply, as he lives, wearing a silk hat
or Derby, as chance directs; short,
bobtailed coat, or long ulster, as the
wind decides; never profanes his cos
tune with ornaments, and has no time
for nonsense save in the way of bust
ness.
The standard of intelligence among
trout would seem to be lessening, if the
latest inventions for their beguilement
are as successful as represented. Artif-
cial worms are sold with all the capaci-
ty for wriggle and none of the cold
clammineSs so obnoxious to lady fishers,
and one of the members of the English
Fish Commission announces that he has
several times brought trout to the sur
face with bits of paper. In the High
lands last year a boy caught a number
with heather-bells strung Oh baithook,
thus proving conclusively the extraordi-
nary progress of eStheticsm. There was

sunflowers and daisies.
The extraordinary illegibility of Dean
Stanleys handwriting is well known to
all his friends, and has been supposed to
arise simply from haste and carelessness.
Certain correspondents have lately
sought to prove that i'n Dean was I'M
conscious of his SINS ia this direction,
but statement from his old friend Max
Muller goes far to diSprove their theo-
ries. Muller complained to him one day
of difficulty experienced by himself in
writing, and well known to all who

that is why my handwriting has always
been so wretched." So far from being
