Legrand was the first witness called
for the defense. He testified that Le-
surques had passed part of the morning
of the Sth Floreal in his shop. When
asked what made him remember this
fact SO distinctly he replied that while
Lesurques was there Aldenhof had come
in, and had bought soup ladle and
sold him q par of earrings; and that
he was confident that this transaction
took place on the 9Th Floreal. In proof
of the correctness of this statement he
appealed to his books, and unfortunately
laid great stress upon the entry made
at the time. He was told to produce
the book containing the original entry,
and accordingly passed it up to Gohier.
On looking at the page indicated, the
latter started with surprise, and en-
claimed; "This is gross attempt to de-

Effect OF Rlizzards ON Cattle.

| have seen billiards on the plains
that swept through man who was clad
in heavy woolens and fur overgar-
ments as though he was dressed in tar
latan. l have known parties of buffalo
hunters, men used to hardship, and
whose stomachs were filed with buffalo
marrow, and who were wrapped in
blankets and robes, to freeze to death
in their wagons while endeavoring to
escape from the uncomfortable. icy blasts
of an arctic blizzard. Cattle, weak
and ill-fed on frost-bitten grass, disap-
pear before these storms. They drift
with the wind. As they pass by the air
is filled with the sound of their mourn
tul moaning. They wander stagger-
ingly along over the trackless plains,
vainly endeavoring to find water with
which to quench the intense thirst pro-
duced by exceedingly cold weather.
The water holes are frozen. The weak
err cattle drop out of the herd, They
lie down to die. The snow drifts
around them. They are freezing to
death. and are still consumed by rag
ing fever. The wolves attack them as
they lie on the frozen ground unable TO
rise, unable to protect themselves.
The cry of despair uttered by the
wretched animals when they realize
that the horrible death of being eaten
alive by carnivorous animals is their
doom, is an unearthly one. As the
peculiar below of an animal when il
finds the scent of the blood of one of its
fellows on the ground excites the hero
with the information: Here one OF
us has been slain," and renders then
unmanageable, so does the death cry o

Editorial Enterprise.

A ST. Louis Globe-Democrat reporter
was recently put in possession of an in.
teresting incident in connection with the
late panic in the pork market. growing
out of the collapse of McGeoch, the
millionaire pork packer of Milwaukee.
A dispatch was received at the Tribune
Office in New York city stating that Ar
mour IL Co., of Chicago, had also failed
The city editor of the Tribune called
upon Mr.. Armour, who happened TO be
in New York, in search of information.
when the following dialogue took place:
''Is it fact that you have failedP /
received telegram from Chicago APP
prising me of your failure"
The reportorially inclined city editor
struck hornets nest, for no sooner
had the wealthy pork packer heard his
query than he burst forth with the in
dignation and pompous dignity of one
cut to the quick. ''It's a liei an infer
nal lie! and the id scoundrels who
circulated the report are all id
liars" he retorted, all in one liquid
breath.
The newspaper man was momenta-
rily stunned. This fusilade of indiena-
ton and swear words was more than he
had bargained for. He quickly recoy-
cred himself, however, and tried to
quell the roaring lions swelling breast.
He assured him repeatedly of the re-
ceipt of the telegram, but could not con-
vince the gentleman of the veracity of
his statements.
'I'll bet you $1,000 You never re-
ceived such q message, and it's all
id lie. repeat" His hotheaded
bet was taken too quick by the newspa-
per man, who was only too eager to
catch on to as sure a thing as he knew
he had.
The interview came to an abrupt ter
mination by mutual agreement to i'm
mediately repair to the Tribune office
and decide the bet then and there.
Arriving at the Tribune building, Mr..
Armour and the city editor soon reached
his office, and the terrible telegram was
soon forthcoming. MIR. Armour read
1t and re-read it, and Immediately
wrote out his check for the stipulated
amount-$1, 000-and slowly wended
his way homeward a sadder and wiser
man.

When Uncle Rufus Hatch planned
his present excursion to the Yellow
stone valley, he issued invitations to
the heads of one or two prominent
English firms to accompany him. These
gentlemen were unable to accept the
invitation, but intimated desire to
send rs their representatives, some
young scions of their families. This
suggestion was readily granted, and in
due course three pronounced specimens

tells the following story at the expense
of the dudes:
Immediately on the arrival of the
excursionists at Citizen Hobart's Hot
Springs hotel in Yellowstone park, the
dudes determined on having a bath as
the proper thing under the circumstan-
ces They were directed to the Bath
spring, three-quartcrs of mile from
the hotel, and were soon mounted and
enroute. They had been in the water
only few moments when they were
saluted by series of yells and the dis
charge of numerous revolvers, and
following on this pandemonium half a
dozen cowboys galloped into view, ar
rayed in buckskin toggery and armed
with revolvers and knives. the terri
fled dudes were ordered out of the
spring and told to put on their shirts,
shoes and trousers, anu make break
for the mountains.
"Really, We know, we caw't do it,"
said one of them, sweating with ter
ror; "Mr. 'Atch will expect us back to
dinner. Won't he, Cholly?"
True, you are," replied "Cholly."
"We're engaged to dine, We know. l
say, cawn't you just let us ave our

But the ''highwaymen'' were obdur-

to leave their horses, part of their
clothing. their revolvers and money,
(S2.10 each), and ''hoof it, back to
the hotel When they arrived, full OF
the untold adventures, they were again
paralyzed by finding then horses tied
in front of the hotel and the plumber
taken by the cowboys, piled up on the
office counter. Citizen Hobart went of
into long, deep. and solitary canyon

A Startling Statement.

distinguished jurists and scholars in
this section, says Washington letter.
81 make that remark advisedly and
it is literally true. From the begin

lation, there is neither prohibition
nor censure of the act No denuncia-
tion or reproach can be found in the
Decalogue, nor in the Mosaic code, nor
in the prophetical writing, nor in the
historical chronicles; neither in the

Judas Iscariot. In all these cases the
facts are simply set forth without com

cept in the case of Rails, whose "man-
illness" is commended. 1t may be said
that the act of suicide is comprehended
by the command to do no murder, but
there is no identity between murder
and suicide. One is prompted by

Romance of the Jasmine.

1t is always pleasant to associate a
romance with favorite flower. The
story of the cultivation of the jasmine,
with its delicate yellow flowers and
delightful odor, in France, as told by
the New York Mail, deserves to be
remembered. The Duke of Tuscany,
it is said, had brought one plant with
him from the tropical countries he
visited. an ID placed it, with many in
functions for its careful tendance, in
the hands OF his gardener, intending to
present it as an offering to the prin-
cess of France. The gardener had a
sweetheart, and, wishing to please her,
he one day broke off slip of the cher
ished plan t, and offered it to her. She
planted it, hoping thus to preserve it
for her wedding-day, and to her de-
light it took root, tHrove, and grew into
a stately bush, from which she ga
thered flowers salable for their rarity
and so accumulated sum of money
which facilitated her marriage. To
this day, the maidens of Tuscany wear
a sprig of jasmine, in token that they
can bring lucky dover to the man of
their choice.

PEARLS OF THOUGHT.

What is defeat2 Nothing but edu-
cation; nothing but the first step TO
something better.
The sublimity of wisdom is to 90
those things living which are desired
to be done when dying.
Happiness is like a sunbeam, which
the least shadow intercepts, while ad'
versity is often as the rain of spring
Do that which is right. The respect
of mankind will follow; or, if it does
not, you will be able to do without 1t.
A wise man ought to hope for the
best, be prepared for the worst, and
bear with equanimity whatever may
happen.
A man has no more right to say an
uncivil thing than to act one; no more
right to say rude thing to another
than to knock him down.
Great is he who enjoys his earthen-
ware as if it were plate, and not less
great is the man to whom all his plate
is no more than earthenware.
Of all the actions of a mans life, his
marriage does least concern other peo-
pie, yet Of all the actions of our lives
it is most meddled with by other
people.

suicide is no declared, specific offense
against God. The belief that it is, in

Christendom, had its origin in ecclesl-

Poisoned Arrows.

At recent meeting of scientists in
Paris, an interesting communication
was received from N. w. J. Hoffman
regarding the methods employed by
North American Indians to poison
their arrow points.
The Comanches simply pierce the
green shell of the Spanish bayonet'
or yucca angustifolia with the points.
The Apaches (Cayoters, sic) bruise up
the heads of rattlesnakes with deer's
liver, allow the mass to become putrid,
then dip the arrow points, and allow
them to dry slowly. The Chinouns
(Moquis of Arizona) irritate a rattle
snake until he bites himself, and then
dip the point and a portion of the
wood of the arrow into the blood of
the animal. A wound with one of
these arrows generally proves fatal in
three or four days, and its action is
much more rapid if the stomach of
the wounded person is empty at the
time the injury is received.
Another poison is obtained by irri-
tating bees, shaking the hive, and then
killing them when in this state with
small branches punched together. The
insects are crushed up in a mass
with mortar and pestle, and the arrow
points are dipped in the magma. 1t
is probable that the active substance
in this case consists in the forriac acid
contained in the bodies Of the bees.
This preparation does not cause death,
but induces long continued sickness.
Another very active but not fatal
poison is prepared from red ants. 1t
produces pain in the pharynx, consider
able swelling of the part injured, and
sometimes delirium. The patient re-
mains feeble for month.
Roast owl was esteemed a delicacy
in O. recent Paris menu.
