The Election Cases.

In the United States Circuit Court yes
terday-Judge Hughes presiding-the ease
OF ner-of-the-Reyenue II. B,
Munford and deputies, charged with con-
spiracy in hndering the assessment Of GER
tain colored citizens, was called. Mr.. John
S. Wise appeared for the Government, and
Judge w. w. Crump, w. w. Henry, Esq,
and Mr.. Hill Carter for the defence.
Mr.. Wise stated to the Court that by
mutual agreement it was desired that the
case be continued until the April term. In
view Of the severity OF the weather, he
thought it would be hardship TO require
the officers to be going all over the city
summoning witnesses, and it might be chat
additional Jurors would be required, some
OF whom would have TO be brought here
from a distance.
The Judge accordingly continued the
cases as asked, and the parties will appear
this morning for renewal Of bail.
This disposition was made Of all the
election cases fixed for yesterday, most, il
not all, Of which will be proceeded upon
by information, and not by Indictment
this probably to avoid the objection that
the presence OF stenographer in the
grand-iury room was illegal.

1t is not yet positively known that they
will go to the Bermudas. There is re-

is some doubt about their getting such ac-

which reasons they will have to be in re-

The Bermudas are in about the latitude

books. One was the putting away of

other was sending to the - bank q

How a Judge Checked Perjury.
(From the London Spectator

A Danish coleman magistrate, for
whose exceptional character and ability
we can vouch, once made grimly comic
experiment in this direction, and upon
this principle: He was appalled, by the
endless perjury committed in cases before
him, determined to stop it, and did.
He, of course, said nothing of his method,
but an English friend seated beside him
on the bench noticed that whenever a
witness told a palpable lie he jumped.
He asked the reason, and the magistrate,
after caution, revealed the secret.
" My orderly stands behind the witness,
and whenever put my left hand to my
ears that indicates that the evidence is
false, and he runs pin into him." It
is well-known fact to the many who
will recognize this story that the "sting
of conscience in this material form
proved effectual, and that the magistrate,
who died honored throughout Den
mark, in three years turned Alsatia
into one of the most orderly and law abid-
ing of communities. He could always
get the truth.

Saw THROUGH the Joke.

A would-be practical joker met an old
blind beggar led by dog attached to a
string, and, anxious to excite the laugh
ter of the bystanders, he cut the string
and separated the man from his leader.
The merriment of the passersby was
great, but of a kind very different from
what the Joker had intended, for the
blind man, opening his eyes, collared
the wag by the neck and thrashed him
soundly with his stick. He then quick
ly whistled his dog to him, re-tied the
string, and continued his way with
closed eyes and his usual whine of
"Please remember the poor, blind
man |"
Watertown republican. [volume] (Watertown, Wis.) 1860-1906, 1883-01-10

these laughing words on his lips he in
deed went straight to his fate.
Crossing the little park which seemed
doubly desolate from night and storm, as
though to balance its summer beauty,
there was a sudden cry little ahead. A
quarter of q minute two men seemed IN a
terrible struggle, but before he could
reach them one had rushed away among
the trees and the other had fallen to the
earth. Cranes first impulse was to fol-
low the runaway; his second, and the
one he acted upon, was to assist the
other. Crane had studied medicine be-
fore his father had prevailed upon him
to be banker, so as to perpetuate the
business In which the family had grown
rich for three generations. 1T scarcely
needed more than the glimpse he could
get of the wounded mans face in the
darkness and the. sound of his failing
voice to prove to him that all the poor
fellow had to say must be said at once.
The knife i'll the other mans hand had
done its work only too we'll

stranger, in a wonderfully calm and even

"Listen, with sudden energy. "I

who IS responsible for this? And will

Crane hesitated, but looked into the
eyes turned toward his face and said
eyes again.
"Swear it?"
A longer pause, and then Crane said
solemnly, " do swear IT."
A wilder blast swept across the park,
and when it had passed, Crane was look
ing down on the dead face of the man
whose path had crossed his that fearful
night, and to whom he had pledged a
year of his life.

A Chinese FIirt.
from the Hartford Globe. !

Many ladies in Hartford look back
with pleasure to the stay of the thirty
Chinese ambassadors there while they
were awaiting further orders. They
showed great foudness of good society
and were entertained In many of the lux
urious and refined homes of our city. It
was something to remember, to see a
group of these high officials enter par
lor dressed in elegant robes of light blue,
garnet, cream or brown silk with the
ample sleeves turned back over their deli
cate hands and showing their white silk
Innings. One gentleman, perhaps IN
mourning, wore an exquisite white bro
cade silk robe and trousers and white kid
gloves. They always wear their little
round caps and outer-coats during visit
and could scarcely be persuaded to re-
move them when the drops of perspira-
ton stood on their faces in a warm room.
A young unmarried attache, who gener-
ally appeared in a light blue, became
much eDamored of the beautiful girls
whom he met IN society and paid most
devoted attention to one not far from
Washington street. Hrving been present
at party given at her house he was par

IVES, YES, CRICKET, l LOVE HIM.
BY MAReAREr EYTINaE.

The twilight faded into night,
The pale moon brighter grew,
The soft greensward so eagerly
Was welcoming the dew
That it my footsteps ne'er betrayed
AS ] drew near my gray-eyed maid
NV gray-eyed maid who never yet
Had answered yea nor nay, F..
But when begged of her kiss
Looked straight another way,
And spoke of tree, or dow'r, or bird,
AS though she had not heard a word
fingered by the open door, '. B.
She dreamed not / was near, Is
And thus it was my happy fate
The song she sang to hear
A song with sweetest music filled,
Sang to the strain q cricket shrilled-
TWAS the most delightful thing
To lover ever known,
Her merry notes accorded to
The cricket's monotone,
And as the words she sang caught,
The night with melody seemed fraught
I" Yes, yes, cricket, love him,
And some time III tell him so;
But not yet-oh, no, no, no!
Modest maidens should be slow
What is in their hearts to show.
And tits but two months ago
Since we first met. Pinks and roses,
Sweet things, had just ceased to blow,
Yes, yes, cricket, I love him.
. Yes, yes, cricket, love him,
And some time III tell him SO;
But not yet-oh, no, no, no!
l will be as cold as snow
Till bis eyes reprOachful grow,
Till he turns from me to go,
Then I'll whisper softly, softly,
That which you already know,
Yes, yes, cricket, L love him."
Before the last word parted from
The air, I'd reached her side,
And taken from her lips the kiss
She had so oft denied.
She tried to frown, but smiled ere long;
She knew I'd heard the cricket-song.

Shake.
From the New York World. ]

IRON the new GOrh WOrluI
Over 4, 100000 ounces of quinine are
consumed annually throughout the
world, and it has become the universal
medicine since its discovery in 1910,
when it was introduced into Europe by
the Countess Cinchon, after whom the
bark was named. Its abundance or
scarcity may be said to be a matter of
international concern. Wars and cpl
denies operate to advance its price. 1t
occupies about the same place in
materia medica that breadstuffs do
among articles of food. Yet it is said
the natural supply of the cinchona bark
is failing, and that resort must be made
to cultivation in order to supply the
worlds demand. Cultivation has already
begun in the East Indies, but must be
extended to every country producing
this indispensable bark.

"Pd give anything for look at the
inside of that mans house," said he, in
conclusion.
"Well," said Fenton, Z" the case is a
strong one already. If the express mes
senger is guilty, he could never be con
victed and hung on what we know now.
But with proof that you nave given your
time for months to following up this
case it would be the easiest thing to
clear you if caught and arranged as a
house breaker. If you want to examine
the inside of that mans house, break in
some night when there is no one at
home"
You, lawyer, my friend, advise
this ?"
"Under the circumstances, yes."

American OratorY.

A. Froude, Wendell Phillips gave a
lecture there upon oratory. When was

but he had omitted one requ1s1et-th that the
orator should have something true to
say. / was answered Immediately that
the art, as an art, had nothing to do with
truth. The less truth the greater the
skill needed to produce the effect. Thus
the Americans hold OratOry in esteem,
but not the highest esteem. They do
not make their great speakers into Presi-
dents. Abraham Lincoln, the best Presi-
dent they have had since Washington,
had sharp wit, but he never talked
spread-eagleism. Gen. Grant hardly
ever stood on platform in bis life. A
Yankee once observed to me, when he
had been listening to famous perform
