His various lines of goods are kept up

Death ON the Saw.

On the 7th instant, a colored man,
named James, met his death at Aull
& Piester's saw mill. 1t seems he was
riding carelessly on the carriage and as
it reversed its direction, he lost his
balance and fell forward on the saw
which completely lacerated his arm and
divided his head.

Justice looked like German Santa Claus,
with his rosy old face peering over the
furs in which he was wrapt. Mr.. George
NJ Robson drove double team and flew
up and down the Avenue with a great
fiourish.v General Rufus Ingalls, was out.
and Representative Archie Bliss gave ussa
6oach of New York style IN an elegant
cutter that was just the very latest thing
in cutters. But speed. not style. was the
distinguishing feature of Washington
turnouts. A big yawl boat filled with a
crowd of shrieking merry makers sped up
and down the Avenue, and all manner of
grotesoue contrivances on runners made
the town lively until 10 O'clock at night.

Gentlemen of the Thirty third General

you have conferred upon me by electing
me to the office of United States senator
Of the stateso Illinois, return to you my
most heartfelt Acknowledgements The
trust you have placed in my nands is the
most important that can be given to any
American citizen. The responsibility at
taching to the Office of the United States
senator is very great. and / stand before
you in acknowledgment of your expression
of confidence. It is difficult for me to find
words to express the emotionaof my heart.
It is but few days more than six years
since in4this hall in the presence of the
general assembly then in session, / took
the oath and assumed the duties of the
honorable office of governor of this
great commonwealth. / have sought
to perform those duties to the
best of my ability, and with
the single purpose of serving the wei

honor which value most, as giving some
evidence, that my career and conduct as gov

the people 's Rpprobation; and here let me
say, gentlemen, that II my administration
as governor of the state is entitled to any
degree of public favor, much of that favor
is due 10 the gentlemen who either by the
election of the people or by appointment
OF the governor, have with me been re-
sponsible for the conduct of affairs. The
interest of the state and of the people of
the state in national affairs is constantly

IOWA.

Dies MONIES, Jan. 1S.-The prohibitory
amendment to the constitution, adopted
by vote last June was declared invalid
by the SUPREME court to-day, Judge Sewers
rendering an opinion in the case entitled
Machter & Lang VS. Hill, from Davenport.
The plaintiffs sued Hill for the value of
beer sold him. Hill admitted the debt
but pleaded that the constitutional amend
ment forbade the sale of beer, wine aud
ale and claimed exemption from the debt.
The plaintiffs amended their petition by
declaring that the amendment was not in
force, the record of The house of the eight
zenith assembly failing to show that it had
passed, and that the house measure differed
from the amendment as passed by
the senate in form and substance;
further that the subsequent action in the
nineteenth assembly did not and could not
cure the carelessness of the eighteenth
assembly. The cause was tried by Judge
Hayes. at Davenport, who rendered YER
dict for the plaintiff for the amount claim
ed, declaring the amendment not in opera
ton The opinion rendered is very long
and reviews fully all the authorities bear
thereon. Many collateral issues were
raised in the lower court, but have been
dropped as immaterial Judge Sewers says
that while it is true that enrolled bills are
lanuHlaTkS Oh 6NluSnCS, HeJs lndSuuCH aS
the Iowa constitution does not require
amendments to the constitution to be en-
rolled, as the law are the legislative journ
ais in this state ale equally competent as
evidence. as to constitution provisions, as
enrolled bills. In the case at bar the
journal of the house of the Eighteenth
Assembly does not show that the amend
ment was passed, and that it varied in
form and substance from the measure in
the senate. This being the case. the legis-
lature could not correct the mistakes of
its predecessors and the amendment falls.
The dissent of Judge Beck il longer than
the opinion. He takes opposite grounds
to the view above. and says, in addition,
that inasmuch as the people had elected
the members of the Nineteenth Assembly
on on issue of the amendment they them
selves had cured the Irregularities of the
Eighteenth Assembly. Judge Beck de-
clares the much mooted short publication
in the Oskaloosa paper to have been in
substantial compliance with the law. The
Case was heard by an audience that filed
the senate chamber nearly full.

Whoop Up is a town in Canada, on the
border of civilization it was originally
what is called in the northwest whisky
stockade," but has lately grown into some
thing of village. The stockade was
built by men who had practical knowl-
edge of Indian lighting and trading. 1t
inc1osed three acres, and the buildings
were eff heavy logs. with openings only
on the inner square. The business CON
sisted of buying skins from the Indians
and paying for them as much as possible
in whisky. The Indians would fill them
selves with reduced highwines or adulter-
sted whisky of the traders and. when
they were fighting drunk. would be enticed
outside of the wall. Then the gates were
shut, and the savages were left to fight
out their fury among themselves. Next
day the thrifty traders went out to bury,
the dead, succor the wounded and drive
away the rest.
Il never get drunk myself when trade
whisky with the Injuns," says David
Akers, the present owner, who considers
himself a reformer of the old methods,
so of course l can watch it's effects on
them. an as soon as I see one gettin' a
leetle too mnch put more water in his
ticker. give it to the critters weak
enough to begin with, but the second cup
is alters weaker'n the fust. But / never
kick'em out or refuse to give EN- drink
long as they have ANYTHING to trade
never kick 'em out anyhow, AN seldom
refuse EN- a drink. Ye see, after they
git SO fur, l just give 'em good. pure
water out o. the river, but never refuse
'em. They like me. too, COZ they don't
have headache next morning.. I jist
keep them feelin' good. enrich. an jelly
but they never get drunk enough to hurt
one another, or cut, or shoot, on my
whisky. No, sireey not as long as there's
good water in the river

Ralph Corbit. an ingenious 12-year-old
boy of Honeybrook, Chester county, Pa,
has devised q novel way of getting rid of
the rats which infested his fathers cellar
He has constructed out of old fruit Jars
battery of three Leyden jars, which he
connects and places upon o large iron
plate which touches the tin@ foil on fhe
outside. Tha bait is so arranged that when
the rat steps upon the plate and seizes the
bait he at once makes the connection
between the outside and inside of the jars,
and they are discharged Through his body,
killing him literally as quick as lightning
He charges the Jars by means of an electric
machine, also constructed by himself.
He ran couple OF wires through the
floor to the cellar from the room above, and
as soon as he W ould hear rat squeak he
would Immediately recharge the Battery
The first time he put the machine in oper-
alton he slaughtered twenty-five rats In
the space of three hours, and in two days
the cellar was entirely cleared of the
pests.
