that was when Rome was mistress
of the world. In the last century
the French language was used al.
most exclusively in the polite and
learned society Of every nation, as
well as in all diplomatic inter.
changes between the courts of trivial
countries. But now the English
language IL made use Of in the
general business Of the world, and
Is the mother tongue of myriads Of
people IN every quarter of the
globe. There was an old saving
that Spanish was the language

ALTON, H., July IA human brute
named Mike Sullivan has washed to the top
on police court wave. He is a widower
with two little daughters and a son, and
lives on Second street. Not long ago he
was arrested on charge OF indecently ex-
posing himself to a neighbours little girl,
but he was released on paying a nominal
fine. Since then he has beat his children in
most horrible and brutal man
ner. The girls are bright
and intelligent. Although Sul-
van Is able to procure domestic help he re-
fuses to do so, aud compels the youngest, n
delicate girl OF II to manage his household
and cook his meals. The other one aged Is
he hires out. Thursday afternoon he went
home and ordered his dinner, and because
II did not suit him he beat the child unmer-
cifully with strap. He then picked up a
butcher knife and threatened TO cut her legs
and arms of, and because she cried he
picked her up and threw her over the fence
into neighboring yard,
where she laid for some time.
The boy tried to interfere, but his father
Kicked him out OF the yard. 1t is also al
legged that Sullivan has male criminal
proposals to his oldest daughter, and that
she has been compelled TO seek the protec-
ton OF neighbors at various times, but re.
fused TO tell the cause OF it. This matter
was not brought against him, and he was
fined SIS and costs for cruelty. He refused
10 pay II and was sent TO the rock pile for
forty days. This case will be brought before
the Probate court and an effort made to
take the children away from him.

trict court for the northern district OF Hi.
nois yesterday which proyokes wide inter-
est. In the early part Of the year 1878 the
electors Of the towns OF Utica
and Deer Park, Illinois, held
town meetings, at which It was vot-
ed to borrow money with which to build

formed the boundary line between the two
towns. In pursuance Of this action the
Highway Commissioners at the two towns
entered into contract with the Wrough,
Iron Bridge company Of Pitts.
burg for the iron superstructure OF
the proposed bridge. The bridge
was completed according to contract,
aud the towns refused to pay. Suit was In.
s'ituted against the towns, but the Supreme
court OF Illinois decided that the
towns were not liable. A bill wa,
then filed by the bridge company in
the Federal court asking TO DO nj.
lowed to take down and remove tho
bridge on the ground that the company had
erected II under mistake OF law and fact.
Judge Blodgett said they were equitably en-.
titled to this relief, and entered a decree in
the company's favor to that effect, uness
the towns pay the amount claimed In ninety
days
