THE SENTENCE IN THE CASE OF CAPT. McKIBBIN.
Captain Chambers Mckibbin, 18th infantry, who
was tried by court MARTIAL at Fort Smelling, Mimi,
on charges Of having duplicated his pay accounts
has been sentenced by the court TO short SuSpen-
sion, not exceeding a year. The record OF the
court is before the Secretary Of War for action. It
is thought that the sentence, though light, will
probably be mtlGated by the President as It was
shown in the trial that Capt. Mcktbhn s Gupca-
tion resulted from negligence rather than from in
tentiOn to defraud.

A FLOCK OF FIFTY EAGLES.
Something that May Cause the
Puzzled Naturalist to Knit
his BrOWS.

A flock of eagles is believed to be a
rare thing, but that is just what Nick
Maher, ex-sheriff of Dakota County,
and Il. L. Ward of this city, saw on
Friday afternoon. These two gentle
men were returning from Jackson to
this city, coming by the island road.
When about four miles out from Gov
ington, in Colonel Orr's timber in
Brushy bend they saw on the trees
ahead of them what they at first sup
posed was flock of turkeys. Coming
nearer they saw that the birds were
not turkeys but eagles, bald eagles, too.
AS they came close most of them flew
off toward the north and were hid by
the timber But six remained. Among
the six was one WHICH Mr.. Ward said
looked like Old Abe, the Wisconsin
war eagle. This one craned his neck
as the two men passed directly under
the tree where he sat- The men hal
looed, but neither this white-headed
veteran nor any of the six few off.
Mr.. Ward says there fully fifty eagles
in this flock Their plumage was not
all alike, some being gray-headed and
others with white heads Both gen.
tlemen are confident that there is no
mistake about the identity of the birds.
They were not fish hawks nor buzzards,
but bald eagles, that they saw. 1t is
possible that these bald eagles had
been south to winter and 80 happened
to come back in body.
The bald eagle is not entirely the
noble bird that he is pictured by the
poets. Truth compels the statement
that he is by birth and practice thief,
and his principal source of support the
6sh-hawk. which bird he robs remorse-
lessly. He will catch rabbits and
other small game when he cannot find
q fish-hawk to rob, and when on a
tramp and hard up will eat carrion.
The bald eagle, it may be mentioned
in this connection, is the bird of our
country.-Siour City Journal.

When Mr.. Robert Roosevelt, OF
New York, arose in the Legislature OF
the State to denounce something or
other, attention was attracted by his
affected manner and his faultless and
somewhat iinical attire He talked too
long, and restlve member rose and
begged the Clerk to read as germane to
Mr. Roosevelt's remarks an extract
from a newspaper which he sent to the
Clerks desk. When the reading be,
gan it was found that the extract was
a doggerel poem beginning:
"Oh the Dude, the beautiful Dude
and the first line was greeted by a
shout of laughter, which squelched
poor Roosevelt at once. Here is the
poem in full,
| oh the dude the beautiful dude
| The essence concentrated of trousercd prude
| We see and love him, and who shall dare
| TO chide us for loving a thing so fair?
| We love his face, with smile bland;
We love the cane in his well-gloved hand
! We love his sombre and lofty air,
His tout ensemble of well-dressed care
| We love the go-to-the party dude,
Who stands By the wall as though firml,
glued;
Who goes to the opera with well-banged hair
With Il high silk hat and a languid air,
] lie walks on the avenue every day,
J In a clearical collar and aimess way;
| lie rarely smiles, and his driveling talk
| j. slow like his tongue and his lanquld walk

and noble manliness characterized him
in every department of life. We know
not better how to delineate his charac-
ter than by giving Mr.. Channing's ex-
quisite distinction of true greatness /"
"There are," he says, different orders
of greatness. Among these, the first
rank is unquestionably due to moral
greatness, or magnanimity-to that
sublime energy by which the soul
smitten with the love of virtue, binds
itself indissolubly, for life and for death,
to truth and duty; espouses as its own
the interest of human nature, scorns
all meanness, and defes all peril hears
in its own conscience a voice louder
than threatenings and thunders, with
stands all the powers of the universe,
which would sever it from the cause of
freedom and religion, reposes an un-
faltering trust in God in the darkest
hour, and is ever ready to be offered
up on the alter of its country or of
mankind"

its own effects upon the temperature ol
the blood, and gives, therefore, mum.
bers that may be figured in curves
which are characteristic of the partic-
ular disease.
These latter details are for the ply
sician to record and study they are
too complex for description here. But
any other person-even the patient
himself, unless child-can make the
preliminary observations of which l
speak, and the nurse should know how
to make them in the absence of the
physician. Even single observation
with the clinical thermometer will tell
Us whether the patient is really i'll.
Two or three observation will inform
US what the kind of danger is, and will
sometimes determine the probable mild
ness or severity of an attack. In most
families illness is threatened, lat least,
not infrequently, and it is of great
service to be able to know promptly
whether to send for the doctor or not.
The general rule on the point, subject
of course to slight modification for the
individual, is to call medical aid if the
temperature rises above 10lo or falls
below go.
5. Influences which do not disturb
the temperature of the healthy derange
that of the sick The occurrence of alb
normal temperatures in persons who
have been previously healthy points to
the existence of disease. The ther-
mometer indicates, for instance, the ex-
istence of tuberculosis by evening ele-
vations of three or four degrees.
Such in brief is the clinical thermom-
eter, the most recent and one of the
most important appliances that medical
science has given US. Its use requires
intelligence, but no special skill. 1t is
only necessary to handle the instrument
carefully, to keep it dry and clean, and
in using it to leave it in the closed arm
pit for not less than four minutes.
Read the result carefully and promptly,
and note it down at once, with the day
and hour, for the use of the physician.
A permanent record of the tempera-
lures of each child should also be kept
from infancy. 1t will prove servicea-
BILE to the physician, and will form
part of the physiological history of the
child.

No Bourbon Return.

The Louisville Courier journal
prints the following, showing why the
sparrow must go:
Steals wheat
Eats few moths,
Makes too much noise,
Picks off blossoms,
The sparrow Eats early lettus,
Drives off useful birds,
Disfgures buildings,
Befouls cutters,
Can't sing.
There is another bird, bigger and
sharper of beak and keener and deeper
of appetite than the sparrow, that loves
to build its eyry in Washington and is
emphatically bird of prey. In the
days before 1860 it has been known to
pray on pap-pap is its favorite prey
for very many consecutive years and
then, like an exaggerated Oliver Twist,
to fetch wild scream for more. The
bird is pretty old now, but its beak has
but increased in strength and reach
with the flight of time, while its ap-
petite is as bottomless and multitudin-
Gus as of yore. Once every four years
during the lost quarter of century
this bird has gone by the name of The
Dead-C Cock-in- -The-Pit, but in works
devoted to political ornithology it is
called The Bourbon. Those that have
studied it's habits closely state that it
yearns to rebuild its eyry at Washing
ton and will make desperate effort to
that end next year. But the Ameri-
can people are understood to have made
up their minds that just as the sparrow
must go this mischievous old bird must
not return. The people say that
Loves abstract purity,
Hates concrete reform,
Befouls it's own platforms,
Straddles on the tariff,
The Bourbon Coddles financial cranks,
Condones crooked ciphering,
Sanctions reputation.
Defrauds ballot-boxes,
Makes too much noise.

The Weather Yesterday.

The weather was the all-absorbing
topic of conversation on the streets yes
terday, and well it might be, as the rain
of the day before was kept up pretty
steadily yesterday until shortly after
noon, after which time it cont:nu ed to
fall in light showers from time to time
until four o'clock in the evening, when
the clouds commenced breaking and
some few Indications of cessation be-
came apparent. The rain commenced
in earnest towards daylight yesterday
morning and poured down in steady,
copious flow with bat few intermissions
until noon. Mr. G. Ducommun's gauge
marked l SO inches from his last report
on Tuesday up to ! P. M. yesterday.
This added to the 675 inches recorded
by Mr.. Ducommun for the fall up to
Tuesday evening, makes the measure
ment Of the rainfall for the season S.3S
inches. Mr.. o. H. Bliss reporta 1888
inches as the present rain up to Or. NJ.
Of yesterday afternoon. This added to
to the 4.5l inches which Mr.. Bliss
guage measured as the amount of rain
previous to Monday last. makes total
for the season Of 7.S4 inches. Accord.
ing to the official figures from the
United States Signal Service Office 100
inches fell between S:l5 o'clock Tues
day evening and the same hour yester-
day evening, making a total of rain fall
Of this last rain 3.3S inches, and total
Tor the season of 7.O4 inches.

Would-Be Highwaymen.

A pair of foodpads were arrested in
the act Of robbing dumb man on Main
street near First street about midnightlast
night. They gave their names as James
johnson and Henry johnson. The lat.
ter name is known to be an alias, as the
man was recognized as one Donovan.
1t appears that officer Fletcher and Will
ing were on Main street near the Nc.
Donald Block when they noticed two
men Leading third, who appeared to be
under the influence of liquor. Every
thing not seeming to be all right, the
policemen Swallowed the trio, who had
not proceeded block further before
the two turned upon tho other one
and dealing him violent blow ON the
face, knocked him down and were going
through his pockets when officers Rey.
nolds, Willing and Maxey came up and
secured the brace Of highwaymen.
James johnson, one of the thieves. is a
hard case and has appeared several times
before the police court. A few minutes
later officer Fletcher arrested and
brought to jail the victim of the attempt
ed robbery charging him with being
drunk and disorderly. This one was
making Rome howl" in the matter Of
oaths, despite his pretended dumbness,
which was only discovered after he
found himself under arrest. He was
locked up for safe keeping and will be
used as witness against his assailants.

A Warning to Perjurers.

The crime of bearing false witness
against ones neighbor is one which, while
severely provided!against in the Statute
books, is all too frequently committed
during these latter days, as most of the
lawyers here have had occasion TO OBJ
serve. The enormity Of the crime of
perjury does not seem to be fully appre-
ciated by many who are put under oath
to tell the truth, the whole truth and
nothing but the truth. The fate of
William johnson in this regard should
serve as q warning to numbers of per-
sons similarly disposed. 1t will be re-
membered by readers Of the HERALD
that one Jones attempted to sell stolen
watch at a pawnbroker's establishment
on Commercial street about month
ago. johnson was mixed up in the
affair, having been a companion of
Jones on the occasion. On the trial
before Judge Morgan, johnson took it
into his head that he would benefit his
friend Jones by swearing that he had
not been near the pawn-shop, and so
testified. 1t was proved subsequently
that he swore falsely and District Attor.
ney White Immediately drew up COM
plant against him for perjury. johnson
plead guilty Of the crime before Judge
Sepulveda on Tuesday last, who senten-
ced him to two years Imprisonment in
San Quentin. District Attorney White
expresses himself determined to do
everything in his power TO suppress this
crime and it is to be hoped his efforts
will prove successful.
