l MT. Dickson of the Delaware and Hudson
 thinks they should be governed by the com 1 bination rule. The Trinity building coa, | men are very much excited, and they are I looking for break in prices, though they | say they will hold out against reduction as
 long as possible. Mir. Sloane, of the Dela. ware, Lackawanna and Western, hitherto the great bugbear m the trade, is now willing, it is reported, to talk suspension if MT. Gowan of the Reading is ready, but the latter is so busy taking his company out of the hands of the receivers that he seems to have forgotten that his advice is necessary on this important question. It was reported on the street this evening that meeting of the coal men will take place early next week, and that sus- pension of mining will be then announced. The stop will be for three days each week until the market reaches 8 favorable con- dition.
 Miss Livingston Given Full Damages.
 BROOKLYN, Jan. 1.-The suit of May Alice Almont Livingston against Henry Fleming re- suited to-day in verdict in favor of the plaintiff for the full amount claimed Mir. Howe, counsel for the defendant, made the first address to the jury and spoke for an hour and quarter. He was followed by MT. Newcome, who made scathing denun- citation of the defendant, pointing his finger meantime at the young millionaire, who finched under the ordeal ssThe base scoun- drel, " said MT. Newcome at one point flied deliberately-ied and knew that he lied when he swore in his answer that the girl he had ruined was 8 v1le woman and had seduced him. Fancy, think of it gentlemen-that in- nocent girl picking up such thing as that (pointing to Fleming) in the street and seduc- ing it." When MT. Newcome concluded there was an irrepressible burst of applause in the crowded court room which plainly showed the sentiment of the audience. After brief charge by Justice Pratt the jury retired, and iA just 6fty-fve minutes returned yer hailed with prolonged applause and cheer ing, which all the efforts of the court officers failed to check. and when the crowd, on leaving the court, found the fair plaintiff leaving another room, to which she had retired while awaiting the yer dict, there was another wild out burst of cheering, such as is seldom heard in @ court in this country. If Fleming had remained to hear the verdict he would have been at least roundly hissed, but he had prudently made his escape. Mrs. Bliss, Miss Livingston's mother, was arrested this afternoon in civil suit growing out of real estate transaction in 1881, but was promptly released to enable her to attend the trial of her daughters suit. It is not known whether this arrest was procured at this time to in fuence the jury in the other suit or not, but if so it utterly failed as the jurors were not informed of 1t until after their verdict was rendered.

A Serious Drought in New England.
 BOSTON, Jan. IA most alarming drought prevails throughout New Hampshire and Maine there having been little or no rain in those States since last June. The water sup ply is well nigh exhausted and all classes are feeling to greater or less extent the effects of the drought. The principal suffering ap- pearsA to exist in Manchester, in the Pemiie- wassett valley and along the Penoboscot riv er The mills are either shut down entirely or running on half time Tradespeople are feeling the want of money in circulation in consequence of the operatives idleness. The lumber men are unable to move their logs which are accumu lating in immense quantities, and farmers besides suffering from damage to their crops have great difficulty in getting water enough for their cattle and even their families to drink. If rain does not come soon the consequences will be appalling. Through out the two States ponds and streams are uni versally dry. Stock is driven in some instan- cesttwo miles to water. The Connecticut river has not been so low for twenty-five years. At Manchester, NH, prayers have been said in all the Catholic churches for rain.

HAPPY CHILDHOOD.

How pleasant it is to gaze on the in
nocent amusement of happy childhood
There is little Johnny playing beside the
newly painted fence. He draws his
dainty finger over the moist surface, max
ing beautiful arabesques and undecipher-
able hieroglyphics that would set an an
t;quary into Mysteries of joy. Johnny's
new suit is made picturesque by its bor-
rowings from the fence, and his face and
hands are effectually disguised in the
pigment. Happy, careless, innocent
childhood! And here comes Johnnys
mother. How eagerly she seizes her dar.
ling! How closely she hugs him in her
fond embrace! Now she has disap-
peared with her darling within doors.
What are those sounds which issue
thence: 1t is Johnny's voice. Is h
laughing merrily over the remembrance
of his recent sport. Possibly; but i
does not sound like laughter. Agar

MUSTARD PLASTERS.

An exchange says: Not one in hun
dred, at the most, know how to make a
plaster, and yet mustard plasters are used
in every family, and physicians prescribe
their application, but never telling how
to make them, for the simple reason that
they do not know, as genera rule. Tie
ordinary way is to mix the mustard with
water, tempering it with little -four |;
but such plaster as that makes is sim
ply abominable Before it has half don e
its work it begins to blister the patient,
and leaves him finally with painful,
fiayed spot, after having produced far less
effec, in beneficial way than was intend
ed. Now a mustard plaster should new
er make blister at all. If a blister is
wanted, there are other plasters far bet
ter than mustard for the purpose. When
you have mustard plaster, then, use no
water whatever, but mix the mustard
with the white Of an egg, and the result
will be a plaster that will "draw" per-
fectly, but will not produce blister ev-
en- on the skin of an infant, no matter
how long it is allowed to remain on the
part. For this we have the word of an
old and eminent physician, as well as our
own experience.

SUGAR AS AN ARTICLE OF DIET

SUGAR AS AN ARTICLE OF DIET.
Dutrome calls sugar the "most perfet t
alimentary substance in Nature" DR..
Rush says sugar affords the greatest
quantity of nourishment in a given guam
tity of matter Of any substance in nature.
Sir John Pringle tells US that the plague
has never been known to visit any coun-
try where sugar composed material
part of the diet Of the inhabitants. DR..
Cullen is Of the opinion that the frequen-
cy of malignant fevers of all kinds has
been lessened by the use of sugar. The
celebrated Trouchina recommended
sweetened water for almost every malady.
DR.. Frothergill was very anxious that
the price of sugar should be so far re-
duced as to make it accessible to the COM
mon people. DR.. Franklin had taken large
quantities of blackberry jam for relief from
pain of the stone, but discovered at length
that the sanitary property resided wholly
in the sugar. Sugar has been found to
be an antidote to the poison Of verdigris,
if taken speedily and in abundance. It
has been said that sugar Injuries the teeth,
but this opinion does not deserve seri-
Gus reflection. The plentiful use of SUI
gar is one of the best of preventatives Of
intestinal diseases in children. Nature
seems to have implanted love for this
aliment in young people, as if it were on
purpose to defend them from such disor-
ders.

A DRUMMER FLOORED.

A few days ago drummer for New
York optical instrument house happened
into Evansville, and while exhibiting his
samples produced box Of artificial eyes
of all colors and began to descant upon
their superiority. While charging POM
pously upon the beauty Of his goods a
little man stepped up and said:
"You may talk about your goods be-
ing the finest in the market, but can you
prove your assertions, No, sir, you
cannot. Just look at this left eye OF
mine if you would see perfection"
The optical man examined it closely,
and with half sneer in his voice said
"Where did you get that eye"
"Got it in New York"
"Well, sir, l can assure you that you
didn't get it at our house"
"No, l got it at another place
Exactly. Such botch work as that,
is never allowed to leave our factory.
The least defect in any eye condemns it,
and yours is full of blemishes. In the
first place it is too light shade to match
the other one, and any one can see that
it is size too small for you. Again, it
is net natural in its appearance. 1t will
deceive no one. Its artificial points crop
out on every side, and it has not one
single aspect Of the natural eye. How
long have you worn it y
ever since | can remember. You
see was born in New York, and this
eye was born with me. It's natural
one, and a mighty good one, too"
The eye man picked up his grip and
quietly faded from view.

A roUR.LEaGED CANNoNEER.

The King Of Dahomsy received an IN
voice Of Krupp cannon not long ago and
conceived the idea Of having them mount
ed on elephants backs for use in the fieid.
With much difficulty this project was
carried out and at the next military re-
view the King ordered that one OF the
guns be fred Immediately in front Oh the
royal position, first taking the precaution
to place couple of thousand prisoners
about where it was calculated the ball
would strike so as to Judge Of the efiec-
tiveness of the shot. When all was
ready, one Of the biggest elephants was
backed round and sighted. Just as the
lanyard was jerked, however, the anims
turned half round to reach for peanut
or something and the shell took Oft the
Prime Minister'S head and knocked a
hole as big as sewer through the royal
palace. His Majesty wouldn't have
cared g, much if the matter had ended
there-as the minister wasn't very prime
and the palace needed ventilation-but
it didn't. On the contrary the elephant,
which had been STOOD on his head by the
recoil, picked itself up in fury and start
ed on the down grade ahead Of its ticket.
It upset the grand stand the very first
rush, slung the Grand Chamberlain and
Past Grand Carver Of Missionaries into
the next street. 1t then jumped into the
brass band with all four feet, and if it
hadn't gotten the big drum over its head
so that it couldn't see, would probably
have cleaned out the entire congregation.
The King was not found until the next
morning, snd then, as he slid down out
of banana tree, he was understood to
remark that there was only one thing
needed to render his new artillery system
an entire success-that was to get the
enemy to adopt it.
