The BEcKLEY TRIAL.-The Circuit
court was occupied nearly all Of 'ast
week in the trial of James Beckley,
charged with marder for killing Hem Y
G. Lsvins, which resulted in an acquit,
tai. Had we the space we would pub
lish the entire evidence. Sad as were
the facts Of the homicide the evidence
fully iustffies the verdict. The prin-
cipal facts established on the trial were
all proven before Justice Benedict, on
the preliminary hearing, and when he
refused to admit the defendant to bail
it was surprise to every one present.
We are not inclined to find fault with
magistrates who act conscientiously In
the discharge Of their duty, nor do we
claim that Mr.. Benedict was not sin
cere in this matter. But he showed a
want of Judgment that utterly disqual
flied him for the position he holds.
His unwalranted action in .his matter
entailed thousands of dollars expense
upon the comfy, besides the expense,
misery and suffering to the defendant
and his family and all for no purpose.

Not a Native.

A man called on the secretary of
state, and, drawing the high official
aside, said:
81 heard somebody say that er man
what was born in fureign country
could not be gov'ner Of the Newnited
States; is thar any truth in what 1
heered?'
"NO one who was born in a foreign
country can be President of the United
States" replied the secretary.
"Wall, that strikes me purity hard,
fur 1 amt got nigh sch encourage
ment ter go to the night school what I
jined some time ago. 1 don't say that
l ever woulder been President, still d
feel heap better ef thought that the
thing was In reach. Wall, sir, since L
first heered that it bothered me power
full, an my wife is so pestered that
she's fallen away to a mere skeleton" Z"
"Where were you born ?" asked the
secretary.
"Down here in Saline county"
"Saline county is not foreign" re-
piled the secretary, with a smile. "You
are a a native of the United States,
and are legible, so far as birth is con-
cernCd, to the highest Office in the
land"
"Gimme your hand, pardner.

The Paradise Fish.

The paradise fish have very large
fins, less developed in the female. The
brownish color of the upper side changes
into a greenish gray on the lower side !;
the markings consists of changeable
yellowish green or blue and red cross
lines. Their length is from eight to
nine centimeters.
Very little is known of these fish in
their free life. They are universally
kept in captivity in China, and treated
as our goldfish, but are more easily
propagated in a limited space.
They are better adapted for house
hold pets than other fish of this class,
as they can live in much less quantity
of water, and can remain out of the
water for twenty minutes and more
without injury. Giraud brought 100
of these fish from China, and although
during the tedious journey he was not
able to give them sufficient room or
the necessary care and nourishment,
twenty-five Of them lived.
Benecke says that in May of the
year 1878 he obtained a pair Of para
disc fish. They were placed in basin
containing about forty liters of water.
They Immediately went to work to
devOur the small crawtish and Larvae
of insects which had been placed in the
vessel. After these were consumed
two crawfish, water fleas and mussels
were put in. They mussels they had
not received before, and evidently had
never eaten them, for at first they only
ook hold of the little animals and then
released them with a shake of the
head, but after. a day or two they only
ate the mussels, leaving the VIZ ter deas
placed in the basin unmolested. One
day no mussels could be obtained, and
they ate greedily not only small but
very large angle-worms, from five tC
eight centimeters long and two milli
meters thick. They always rejected
the intestines of the worms. WheI
the worms were put in the basin a.
they were taken from the ground they
would shake them two or three times
then let them go, then throw then
around in the water, in order to shakt
off the dirt before eating them. If tht
worm struggled, they would sling i
against the water plants or the side
of the basin.

A Ynmnn,n ExncrIcnce.

Mrs. WILLIAM DowNEs. of Ukbridso, Mass. writes
on March 10, 1888. as follows:
During the past three years have been great
sufferer from complication Of diseases which baiied
the skill Of the most experienced doctors, could not
obtain permanent relief by their treatment and pre-
scrptons and have also tried many socallcd cures In
the medicine line. but could get relief The pains,
aches and weakness increased rapidly and constantly
that was reduced in strength to bo unable TO
leave the bed and the doctors informed that thcro

couraged condition dear friend persuaded me 90
Hunts Remedy, and after taking It only three days
commenced TO get better. and TO my great JOY and
delight have continued to improve constantly by it's
use. until now, after having taken the remedy only

WISE WORDS.

Be silent and safe; silence never be-
trays you.
Addiction, like the iron smith shapes
as it strikes.
1t is II crime to consider any wicked
ness a sign of ability.
II you boast of a contempt for the
world, avoid getting into debt. 1t is
giving to gnats the fangs of vipers.
The temperate are the most truly
luxurious. By abstaining from most
things, tits surprising how many things
we enjoy.
A loving act does more good than a
fiery exhortation. What mankind
needs is not more good takers, but
more good Samaritans.
Old age is the night of life, as night
is the old age Of the day. Still, night
is full Of magnifcence, and for many,
it is more brilliant than the day.
Aim high. You may not touch the
mark, but by high aim you will come
nearer to it than by not trying at all.
Then by making the effort many per-
sons have come nearer to it than at
first anticipated.

melting eyes and graceful forms bring
TO ones mind the "angeli sunt" of Pope
Gregory.
OF the elder folk the most pictur-
esque are the "vaqueros" and team
sters in their shirts of leather or dingy
linen, with yellow leggings and great
felt or straw sombreros. OF the younger
women many are pretty, with fine eyes
and hair. Their compilations, however,
are not good and they seem to fade and
grow old early. All the women wear
over their heads light shawls, either of
dulll blue cotton stuff or black, and
these they drape about heal,
shoulders and chest in most
effectively picturesque way. The
rest of their garments are Of cotton or
some thin-textured black material, and
seem to dispose themselves always
more or less gracefully on the persons
Of their wearers. If the Mexican
women only knew it, they look better
in black than any other color. Unfor-
tunately they don't know it and some
of them will launch out into colors
with most disastrous results as far as
appearance goes.
Finally the coloring of the back
ground which frames in all these pic
lures is, to American or European eyes,
strange and not without its charm
to some Of them. The dull white of
the dusty streets, and the gray of the
adobe walls, and the dull red, dull blue
and white of the plastered houses har-
monize well with the pale blue of
the sky and the darker blue and gray
of the stony, barren hills all round.
Against these the dark green masses
Of the "palmas" and pecan trees stand
out in bold relief, and the who'll is
lighted up by the bright red of some
Mexican's blanket, the little crimson
flag at the end of long reed which
projects from the window of some
butchers shop or the scarlet Of the
pomegranate blossoms which hang in
clusters over the garden walls.

A Chance for Inventors.

In the heavy thunderstorms which
occurredin various parts of the country,
says New York Sun editorial, the
lightning manifested its well known
affinity for petroleum. Three large
oil tanks were struck. One of them
was near Olean, in this State, another
at Muncy Station, Penn, and the third
in the yard of the Standard Oil COM
pany at Communipaw, n. j. This last
one had very little oil in it, and was
not consumed, but the others, with
their contents, were burned.
The attractive influence eXerted by
petroleum, or its vapOr, which renders
these great oil tanks so liable TO de-
struction by thunderbolts, does not
seem to be very well understood. If
it was, we should hardly be without
any efficient means of guarding such
structures against lightning. The
subject is well worthy Of attention
and study on the part of men of science.
At present the safeguards are so in
a alequate that an oil tank is not only
very likely to be destroyed by any
thunderstorm, but to act also as a fire
brand to every building anywhere near
it.
The inventor who deYises a method
which shall afford to oil tanks absolute
protection against lightning, ought to
be able to make million of dollars by
the invention.
