ST.. LOUIS, Aug. 2s-Post dispatch from
Gallatln, Mo-: Frank James trial was
resumed this morning. The defense
asked permission to introduce specific
acts against the witness, Mrs. Bolton,
with view to attacking their credlbility.
The intention was to open up under
Wood Hlte at Ferd's house, for which
Llddcll is now under Indictment and Of
which Mrs Bolton and Capt. Ford were
witnesses. Court decided that Mrs. Boil
ton could be recalled and examined, not
as to the killing, but as to what she had
told neighbors who called upon her on
Dec 5th, 1881, and ate dinner while the
body of Hite was upstairs. Mrs. Bolton
testified that Wood Hte was killed in
the dining room. but refused to answer
when the body was taken up stairs. An
extended cross-examinatlon failed to
bring out anything definite as to the
killing or burial of Hites body by night
in pasture. She "purred" out, refused
to answer or else couldn't remember.
Capt. Ford was next called and examined
as to the burial of Hlte's body.

The Presidential Party.

CAMP CAMPBELL, at foot OF Yellow
Stone Lake, Aug. 29--The president and
party arrived at this carp at noon to-
day, and having marched from the upper
end of the lake, distance TWENTY-FIVE o
miles, the trail we came over winds
around the borders of the lake almost en-
tirey through timber and agreeable
shade The absence of dust made the
ride one Of the most enjoyable Of the
whole Journey. AZ the. point where we
remain tonight there is abundant and
nutritious grass, our camp being in the
fringe Of fine pine tliabsr, which covers
tho mountain sides, and IS elevated
enough to overlook the splendid meadow
upon which our animals are feeding, and
to command a comprehensive view of the
lake whose waters wash the precip1tous
cliffs of the Shoshone mountains. Be-
yend the peaks are snow-cappcd, which
in the light Of the setting sun are made
visible for many miles. The president,
accompanied by Capt. Clark went fishing
this afternoon, while the rest of the party
were content to rest and enjoy the pano-
rama spread out before them. The pres
ident caught thirty five fish, total weight,
forty-fve pounds. The head of an ex-
tlnct species of rhinoceros and two verte-
brac of large fossil, some in an excellent
state of preservation, were found on the
bank of the lake near our camp by our
surgeon and naturalist, w. II. Forwood.
The specimens are interesting, and will
be sent to Prof. Capes, Philadelphia.

The Careless Use of lee.

1t is only in this country that ice en-
ters so largely into the apparent COM
fort of its inhabitants, and a very dan
gerOus comfort it is. Dyspepsia and a
number of other evils follow directly
in the train of the consumption of ice.
TO the great pitchers of iced water so
temptingly displayed on hot days may
he traced a number of maladies, for it
is evident that no person can without
danger suddenly and violently lower
the temperature of his stomach by fill
ing it full of water at 30 Fahrenheit.
That valuable organ will certainly re-
sent the insult, especially if followed
up by repeated injuries of the same
kind. In the tropics, where the use of
ice has more temptations surrounding
it than in any other part of the world,
the inhabitants most carefully avoid it.
You cannot get Cuban to indulge in
iced water. People who have been
previously addicted to the foolish hab-
it of using ice will, after visiting the
West Indies, forever eschew the dan
gerOus practice. A party of men who
recently visited San Domingo on busi-
ness (whO would go there for any 9TH
er reason y on their first arrival mourn
ed greatly at the absence of ice. 'Ah ~
said they, "when the English steamer
runs in here we will 90 aboard and
have treat in the shape of good iced
brandy and soda" The steamer ar
rived IN due course. The ardent for
eigners jumped into the boat of the
captain Of the port "a negro gorgeously
arrayed i'll uniform covered with gold
lace) and, barely saluting the captain,
rushed to the saloon for the coveted re-
freshment. 1t was duly absorbed and
the whole party were rendered i'll in
consequence. None of them have ever
touched ice since that time In the
West Indies it is only the cOlored race
which patrOnizes ice-to the white peO-
pie it is not only no luxury, but dan
gerous enemy. Ice has its uses in the
hospitals it is invaluable for the pre-
servatlon of provisions, especially fish,

Won't Do so Again.

A wealthy citizen of Detroit, who not
only holds that labor is ennobling, but
who saws his own wood and does
chores about his place in an old suit of
clothes, got customer the other day
for about 5000 worth of real estate
which he had tried hard for a year to
sell. The customer agreed to call at
the house at certain hour to make the
final arrangements, and he was as good
as his word. 1t so happened that the
citizen was out digging pOst-holes for
back fence, and as his wife has always
felt that such work was below him she
answered the strangers inquiries with:
"No, my husband is not at home"
"But | was to see him here at this
hour"
"Well, he isn't here"
'Can you tell me where | can find
him ?"
Somewhere down town, perhaps"
The man went away and invested
his cash in another enterprise, and it
was not for a week or ten days that the
citizen discovered why he had not call
ed. The wife is said to have under
gone decided change of opinion since
her husband walked in upon her and
gestured with his right arm and his
left, and upset chairs and uttered ex-
in three different langua-
ges.- Detroit Free Press.

Burdette on Tripe.

Occasionally you see man order tripe
at hotel, but he always looks hard,
as though he hated himself and every
body else. He tries to look as though
he enjoyed it, but he does not. Tripe
is indigestible, and looks like an India
rubber apron for a child to sit on.
When it is packed it looks like dirty
clothes put to soak. and when it is
cooking it looks as though the cook
was boiling dish-clOth. On the
table it looks like glue, and tastes like
a piece of oil silk umbrella cover. A
stomach that is not lined with CORFU
gated iron would be turned wrong side
out by the smell of tripe. A man eat
ing tripe at a hotel looks like an arctic
explorer dining on his boots or chew
ing pieces of frozen raw dog. You can
not look at man eating tripe but he
Will blush and look as though he want
ed to apologize and convince you he is
taking it to tone up his system. A wO-
man never eats tripe. There is not
II oney enough in the world to hire Il
woman to take n cOrder of a sheet of
tripe in her teeth and try to pull Oft
piece. Those who eat tripe are men
who have had their stOmachs play
mean tricks on them, and they eat tripe
to get even with their stomachs. and
then they go and take Turkish bath
to sweat it out of the system. Tripe is
a superstition handed down from a
former generation of butchers, who
sold all the meat and kept the tripe for
themselves and the dogs, but the dogs
Of the present day will not eat tripe.
You throw a piece of tripe down in
front of a dog, and see if he does not
put his tail between his legs and 30 off
and hate you. Tripe may have "A val

The WrestIe with Death.

a physician of this city has made
the phenomena of death a special study !;
by careful observation and lengthy
consultation with his brother doctors,
he has acquired fund of interesting
facts and SuppOsitiOns regarding the
fatal moment which all humanity soon
cr or later have to experience. "One
of the things of which am convinced, -
said the doctor in conversation recent
ly, ''is that death is painless. | mean
that the moment of dissolution ap-
prOaches us uncOnsciOusly as sleep, the
soul leaves the world as painlessly as
it enters it. Whatever be the causes
of death, whether by lingering malady
or sudden violence, dissolution comes
either through syncope or asphyx'a
In the latter case, when resulting from
disease, the struggle is long, prOtract-
ed and accompanied by all the visible
marks of agony which the Imagination
associates with the closing scene of
lite-the pinched and pallid features,
the cold, clammy skin, the upturned
eye and the heavy, laboriOus, rattling
respiration. Death does not strike all
the organs of the body at the same
time some may be said to survive
others, and the lungs are the last to
give up the performance of their
functions. AS death approaches the
latter become gradually more and more
oppressed F.; the air-cells are loaded
with an increased quantity of the fluid,
which naturally lubricates the surfaces :;
the atmosphere can then no longer
come into contact with the minute
blOodvessels spread over the air-cells
without first permeating this viscOus
tiuid-hence the rattle. Nor is the
contact sufficiently perfect to change
the black venOus into the red arterial
blood an unprepared fluid conse-
quently issues from the lungs into the
heart, and is thence tr .nsmitted to
every other organ of the body. The
brain receives it and Its energies ap-
pear to be lulled thereby into sleep
generally tranquil sleep-flled with
dreams which impel the dying to muir
mur out the names of friends and the
occupations and recOllections of past
life. The rustic "babbles of green
fields" and the hero expires amid Wis
ions of battle.

"The Country Week"

The Country Week." conducted by
the Boston Yonng Mems Christian
union, has given, since its Inauguration
in 1875, eight thousand five hundred of
poor children of the city the pleasure
of a ten days visit in the country in
summer, a pleasure which they would
not otherwise have enjoyed. Aside
from the benefit to health of which
there is abundant evidence, the visitors
have gained much morally from the
change in surroundings and infrences :;
and this is especially true of those
children who have been received in
families as guests. The influence of
home life thus received is the great
est benefit that can be derived from the
visit, and often has an effect upon the
whole future life of the visitor. Work
for the present season has already COM
menced. The children are ready, the
homes are wanted. If you are willing
to invite one or more children to visit

Scripture and the names of the classes

and occupied seats at the windows of
nearly every house along which it
passed. After the parade and review
the children were marched back

way they enjoyed the cream and cake
