The Ottman case, of which good deal is
heard, nowadays, is substantially as fol-
follows Two years ago, or more, one
Gilman and his associates robbed the United
States treasury of nearly $4,000 Most of
this was recovered by the agents of the gov
eminent, and Gilman, who was tried for the
alleged robbery, was acquitted by Wash
ington jury. Then he laid claim to the
money, and the matter was in litigation for
months. 1t is now said that the case was
compromised by the agency of lawyers
Crowley and Bliss and the result was that
the government got $4,000 of the money,
while the lawyers and Gilman got S19,O25,
of which Ottman says he only received
$4,000. The questions are, why, If the
money was stolen from the government, was
the case compromised at oil Why, if it
was not stolen, did not Gilman get the
whole of it :? Who got the $4,000 of the
$4,000, if Gilman got only S30O02 The
money could not, in honesty or equity, have
belonged in part to the government, and in
part to the alleged thief. How did it get
so mixed up and so divided An investiga-
ton of the whole subject is likely 10 make
lively work in and out of Congress.

Timothy Kelly, the fifth and last of the
Phoenix Park assassins to be brought to the
gallows, was hanged in the now historic Kill
mailman jail on Saturday. Like his pre-
decessors on the gallows, he died bravcly,
and Just before his death he repeated pro-
mise previously made to his mother that he
would leave no statement or letter regarding
the murders. And then, with deathly pal
lor upon his face, he mounted the gallows,
and in few moments the black flag anounc-
Ing that all was over was holsted, and the great
crowd outside the Jail, many of whom had
been repeating the prayers for the dying,
burst into wild shricks and young woman
fell upon her knees and called tue curse of
God upon James Carey, the informer. Like
all the rest, Kelly manifested neither peni-
tcncc nor fear. All were men of IRON nerve
and unilinchng courage, and all died brave
ly in a cause us bad rs any that ever brought
men to the scaiTold.

The New York San advances the brilliant
theory that the civil-service rules will result
in additional corruption and defalcation, for
the reason that the past has proven that the
more competent an official the more liable Is
he to steal that such tecome experts in

A wild garden may be made one of
the most attractive surroundings of
the homestead. 1t is in retired cor
ner, where there is shade or shrubbery
and sunny, open places. Here are
gathered all the wild beauties of field
and wood ferns, MOSES, violets, lilies,
the lowly, modest flowers of shaded
places, and the more pretentious ones
of the field, the roadside and the hedge
row. We do not know what a sum of
beauty there is in the common Wild
plants until they are gathered in such
garden, the variety of form, the
wealth of color, the tender bh.es and
pinks, the faint yellows, the blazing
orange and scarlet, the deep rich pur-
pie, the broad masses Of white; nor do
we know the exquisite beauty of the
blossoms until we take the time to
study them with the help of common
magnifying glass. 1t is then we find
what beauty is cast negligently around
us by nature and may be enjoyed with
out labor or care, while what we have
in the cultivated garden is procured
with constant toll and care and by
never-ending struggles with weeds and
insects. All that is required for the
wild garden is TO choose suitable
place for it and then to remove to it
the wild plants as they are found.
These may lie removed at any time
by means of garden trowel or q
spade, and by taking up Che soil with
the roots without disturbance. As the
plants are taken up the mass of earth
should be firmly wrapped in paper,
which may be planted with the mass,
as it very quickly decays in the soil.
The ball of soil, with the paper, should
be dipped in water before it is put in
its new place, and the fresh earth we'll
packed around it.-N T. Times.

BarbaIism in the Management of the
insane.

When | was convalescent, in the
asylum, | attended an evening card
party, given in one of the pleasantest
wards; for the amusement of those pa
tients that were well enough to appre
ciate and enjoy such an occasion. | met
a lady, patient, who had been in the
asylum three years. Although | could
see that she was somewhat Eighty, yet
in all other respects she was quite an
intelligent person. She told me thst
she had left at home her daughter. an
only child, about fourteen years old,
whom she had not seen in all that time.
This lady's husband had virtually put
her in prison, and had never taken the
pains to call on her himself oftener than
once year, and had never allowed her
daughter to visit her. Tears stood in
the poor woman's eyes as she told me
these things, and | had no reason to be-
lieve that she was deceiving either her.
self or me. And upon inquiry found
that her case was not an exceptional
one. There are mothers confined in all
our asylums, as there were in the insti-
tuition where was, who, while they are
insane enough to warrant their being
put under restraint, are yet sufficiently
intelligent to be sensible of their condi-
ton, aud like the lady have alluded
to, be overwhelmed by the thought that
they are in a hopelessly helpless condi-
ton, and may be kept imprisoned thus
for years, or even for life, away from
their kindred and friends, and from the
little ones for whom their hearts yearn
with an intensity that no human being
can appreciate, except some mother that
has lost a child. This lady said she had
known such patients, when talking about
the little children from whom they had
been separated, to sob and moan for
hours at time But the law is inexor-
able 1t says that a husband may con
fine his wife in an asylum if he can
prove that she is insane-and that is
very comprehensive word. In some
States the certificates of two physicians
will accomplish this purpose; and, when
once patient is shut up in ward,
there is no deliverance that can be de-
pended upon. But not only do the
women suffer in this way, for there are
mon whose affections are as keen and
as strong as those of any woman, who
long to be with their boys and girls, to
see them growing to manhood and
womanhood, but who know neither the
day nor the hour when that longing shall
be gratified .-ORe Who HIS Been Insane,

Good Naws from Texas.

Mr.. Thomas A. Howard, OF Honey Grove Fan
min County, Texas, under date Of April 5 1858,

severe Illness and a general breaking down of my
physical system, and have tiled the treatment and

Travelled t. the Hot Springs and other springs ia
nous for their remedial qualities, drinking the
waters and bathing systematically in their healing
depths, but alto no avail as l steadily failed in
health; and although informed by my physicians
that my ailments and weaknesses were the result
of kidney disease Of dangerous character, they
could give me nothing to cure me. Dnring the
past two years my sutferings at times were dread
fui, and had the most Undesirable pains in the
regions about the kidneys, the paroxysms of which
were so severe as 10 render itimpossible for to

condition was persuaded 10 try Hunts Remedy,

sufferings and paroxysms of pain were entirely re
lieved, and could sleep longer and better than
had in two years before, and although am now on
my third bottle only my improvement is very re-

FACTS AND FIGURES.

The annual products of the British
American sea fisheries are set down at
about $40, 600.
Eight million acres of Government
land in Dakota have been disposed of to
private persons within year
The convicts working in chain
gangs in Alabama coal-mines die at the
fearful rate of eighty-seven per nineteen
hundred per month.
Last year the eighteen hundred sa-
looms of Missouri paid S159.000 for IL
censes. The new law calls for $500, 600
from the same saloons.
South America is destined to be
the next great beef-producing nation of
the world. 1t is estimated that in two
years from now the number of cattle
in the Argentine Confederation will
number 2S,000,000, against 100000
in 1877. The enormous increase in the
number of cattle has brought down the
prices so that good fat steers are selling
at six to eight dollars Chicago Tri5-
ane.
The unfounded "scare" ~ in Ger
many over the alleged danger of eating
American pork has brought out the
fact that the pork trade with the
fatherland is not, after all, very
important item in our foreign com
merce-or at least that its loss would
not bring disaster upon our pork-pro-
ducers The trade with England and
Scotland is many times greater than
that with Germany.-N.. Y Examiner.
The New York Financial U,ron-
icle, as the results of a computation
based upon the past growth of the
country, makes the annual increase of
our population to be 1885, S45, or about
1886 per cent. If these figures are APP
proximately correct, the population of
the United States is now nearly 6,000,-
600; while the year 1900 will see the Re
public contain more than 100000 per-
sons.
The cotton machinery of Lowell,
Mass, says the Commercial Bulletin,
has been accelerated so per cent. with
in dozen YEAS, and while there are
now 100000 cotton spindles in the
United States against 1000, 900 in 1870,
the actual productive capacity of the
mills is more than doubled. The con-
sumption of 1,98S,417 bales of cotton
in the country for the ten months pre-
ceding July l, 1883, against 1,073,000
bales, the annual average for three
years beginning with 1869, corroborates
the above estimate. The same holds
true of wooden manufacturing
