of that city, has become the wife of Baron Won
Freisen and will go with him to live In Rhine

THE gulf stream has grown ambitious, or per-

banks or else taken change of base until it
now flows within fifteen miles of Cape Hatteras,
a thing of rare occurrence No charitable re-

side the stream on account of the overflow.

THE course of true love seems to run no
smoother in circus tent than elsewhere, as the
eannibal girl in n Philadelphia show can testify
She was not really cannibal, but was native
of the South, and attracted the attention of the
living skeleton ana his wife, the mammoth fat
woman, when they were once pleasure trip
down there, by the peculiar formation of her
thumbs which were long and curved They saw
in her the foundation of a firstclass sideshow,
adopted her, trained her hair into standing
erect, and brought her out a full-ledged canni-
bal. All went well until the CIR! fell in love with
the prize-box man. She did not let concealment
like a worm prey upon her dusky cheek, but
told her love. Perhaps she told him she loved
him well enough to eat him, but, at all events,
the box man did not recipr ocate, and became
alarmed for fear she would make a meal of him.
She failed to convince him that the circus post
ers lied, and that she was no man-eater, and in
her despair she took dose of laudanum. She
pumped out, but swears that life even in a
circus has no charms, and that the public shall
see no cannibal girl this season.

THE Washington Post, Democratic, very prop

at sometimes benomes the duty OF an honest
newspaper to speak harsh truths of the dead.
But there was no such duty in the ease of the

MRS. MEEKER, the murderess hanged at Wind
sor, VT, yesterday, manifested the utmost in
difference in the face of ignOminious death, and
like the majority of male murderers, protested
confidence in going direct from halter to heaven.
She knit round or two on the ever-present
stockings the night before, and retiring slept
soundly until daybreak. After eating a hearty
breakfast, she, woman-like, "wanted to see the
galows." 1t apparently was all that she de-
sired for she found no fault with it, She was
perfectly satisfied" to meet her Lord, and ex-
pressed the belief that He would not be ashamed
to let her enter heaven. With such examples as
this it will be hard TO find anybody opposed to
hanging, since nine out of ten who enter eternity
from the platform go straightway to glory, not
even taking a term in purgatory.

AT the city election in Evansville on Monday
next, the principal question to be settled is
whether the debt of that corporation shall be
honestly and honoraby paid, or whether a por-
ton OF it shall be repudiated because it has be-
come burdensom. The election is attracting ma
tional attention. The New York Herald says:
"Our advice to Evansville is TO pay. That is
the advice also which we notice some of the best
citizens of the place give The rate of Interest
may be high, but 1t will never run lower for a
city which refuses to pay it. II, in April the
city refuses to pay its interest, that will be a
temporary loss and damagesto those who trusted
it; bnt it will be IL permanent damage and loss to
every legitimate interest in Evansville. Moth
ing fiourishes under the cold shade of repudia-
ton, and experience shows that the taxpayers
of Evansville, If they refuse to Keep faith
will be less able to pay per cent. two or
three years from now than they are to pay 6
or 7 per cent. now. Merchants and manufac-
turers will find 1t useful to go elsewhere trade
cannot be drawn to or kept in town whose
people deliberately refuse TO pay what they do
not deny to be just obligation. Labor cannot
find profitable steady employment, real
estate can have no value or stability in city
which refuses to pay its debts"

cRASp FOREST.

It is hard-we may say impossible
hereto realize that in an old settled
State like Michigan. of only two-thirds
the area of Washington Territory, but
with forty times the population, that
there is any such vast uninhabited, Wild
region as that described in the para
graph following;
In one of the articles, descriptive of
the upper Michigan peninsula, written
by Mr.. F. johnson, Jr., and published
in Harper's Magazine, he described the
magnificent forest region southwest of
Portage Lake. He says that Il extends
100 miles, and has escaped devastation
by forest fires. Il reaches into wiscon-
sin, and consists principally of hard, OF
sugar maple, and, IN the opinion OF Mr.
johnson. 10 capable of supplyinQ the
continent with sugar. Until some dis
ooveries Of copper are made in 1t, it will
probably remain one OF the finest bod
les of woodland in the country. There
are many lovely little lakes and streams
abounding with trout scattered through
it. The eastern portion contains many
impsnetrahle swamps Overgrown with
tamarack and cedar. The western poF-
tion of this great forest has less of the
savage and f0rbidding aspect peculiar
TO the northern woods, and il c0mpara-
lively open. The road to OntonaRon

In other words,- Merrick said, 1.-The

placed aside. while S. w. Dorsey him.

written with his own handf'
Defense objected, and pointed to the
record of the last trial. when the Cour,
rejected proffered evidence.
In the course of the argument Inger.
soil used the expression, where will

I'm the penitentiary," promptly inter
ruptsd Bliss.
''ingersoll. shaking his finger at Bliss
replied, "You will be there as soon as
my client"
Court-"This is entirely unprofes-
sional.''
Ingersoll-"Did provoke itr'
Court-"NO."
Ingersoll-"I represent gentleman
and do not propose doing anything a
gentleman may not do"
The Court said at the last trial that ii
seemed to go off with the idea that it
was an attempt to provise some sort of
official conduct on the part of Dorsey,
aside from the routes in this case. In
that instance it overlooked entirely
other questions-whether tho evidence
did not tend to show connection be-
tween Dorsey and other defendants in
the preparation of bids for the letting
soon to be made. The Court then got a
certain view of the case, and then ran
of that line. 1t might as well be under
stood that questions arising in this case
would be decided without bias from any
other decision.
Ingersoll, suddenly. and with great
Indignation said to Williams, who was
smiling: "What do you mean by that,
SIR? What do you mean by sneering
and giggling like fool at the decisions
of this CourtY'
Williams-"I don't understand yon. l
don't believe the Courts language was
warranted. / was talking about another
matter, and did not hear you.'
Court-"You should have been listen
ing"
Williams-"Your Honor has not de-
cided the question yet, and could not
have expressed any opinion upon it,
Court-"The Court accepts your dis
claimer, and owes you an apology for
the severity of its language"
The delivery of the opinion was re-
sumed, aud resulted in the admission of
the papers.

kansas. which have been published. re-
quest them to have blank proposals GER
titled and returned to him, taking care
to let no one know from whom they
came. Root and Keerns (mail contrac-
tors and friends) were to be especially
avoided. To Hon. George Haycock, at
Pine Bluff, Ark, he writes:
This is for an intimate friend of
mine, and ask you to do it as a per-
Sonal favor"
Defense objected to the question put
witness, asking the reason for Omitting
from the blank proposals certain provi-
sions contained in the blank forms of
bids issued by the defendant.
The question was finally ruled out by
the Court.
