Recognized as a Professional.

The counterfeiter giving the name of James
Summers, arrested at VinceDnes a few days ago,
has been identified as James Sprague, the man
who was convicted of counterfeting, in the fed
eral court, in 1878, and sentenced to six years
imprisonment. He served his time and was re-
leased last June. He is one of the worst coun-
terfeiters in the country, and is notorious as a
desperate criminal. While being tried in the
federal court here before, he made plans for es-
Gaping from the officers by shooting his way out
of the courtroom with reYolvers which were TO
be surreptitiously furnished him after leaving
the jail, but the scheme was diseov cred and
frustrated.

THE KGRNER MURDER.
The Prisoner Valves Examination, and Is
Committed to Jai-He Accuses
August Kiefer.

Andrew K1rner waived preliminary examina-
ton before the Mayor, yesterday morning, on
the charge of having murdered his wife, and
was sent to Jail without bail. He had no coun-
sci, having failed to secure the services of Cor
don & Bailey because terms could not be agreed
upon, ana a German friend was his only ad
wiser He is extremely parsimonious, and
is unwilling to spend the money
which he has accumulated by mean
living even in saving his life The great mental
agitation which he has undergone in the last
two days is evinced in his naRgard appearance.
In conversation yesterday about the murder
he reiterated the statement that he believed
August Kiefer had Led his wife, giving as his
reason that Klefer had threated to make trouble
for him. The officers are still confident, how
over. that he committed the murder himself, al
though the evidence against him is wholly cir
cumstantfal. 1t is said that Mrs
K9rner had declared last summer
that she intended to procure a divorce from
K9rner, as his abusive and cruel treatment could
no longer be tolerated. The coroner has not yet
begun taking testimony in the case. The three
children Of KOrner and the murdered woman
will be placed in the German Orphan Asylum,
and a guardian for them will be appointed by
the court. The remains of Mrs. Koerner will be
buried at Crown Hill Cemetery this afternoon.

The COW-Tree.

The Palo de Vaca, or Cow-Tree,
grows in large forests in Venezuela,
and in some other parts of South
America. 1t reaches 100 feet in
height, and its trunk, when tapped,
yields a liquid of an agreeable taste,
like that of sweet cream. with a
slightly balsamic odor. 1t is some
what glutinOus, but nourishing and
wholesome. The celebrated chemist,
Boussingault, on Analysing this
liquid, found that its composition is
much like that of the genuine milk
of cow. Seeds of this tree have been
sent to Bombay, others Egerminated
at Kew, in England, and the plants
were distributed through the warm
parts of the British possessions. The
trees thus produced are said to be
tiourishing, 1t would be well to pro-
cure seed or plants from Venezuela
to experiment with in Florida and
lower Texas, for if the tree grew
| well there its acclimation would be a
boon to our Southern States. The
botanical name of the tree is Brosi.
mum galactodenron; it belongs to the
family of Urticaceie, which, if it were
not the "Nettle Family might be
called the Bread and Milk Family
of plants, as it furnishes the useful
bread fruit of the tropics, as well as
the milk to 90 with it.

The tariff question is growing
in power in all parts of the United
States. State after state, through al
the mediums of communication, give
out no uncertain sound as to the
great popular move in favor of re-
dpced taxation, of taxation favorable
to the masses instead Of adyanta-
geous to few favored monopolsts.
The n lshYille World says;
No democratic convention has as
Sembled of any respectable proper
tionS that has not voiced the Senti-
mentS of the people-a tariff for rev.
enue only. The great West is stirred
up on this question, and a more en-
phatic exposition of true democratic
doctrine cannot be found than in the
stirring declarations of the Iowa dem
ocracy on the tariff question. They
arraign the last congress for the en-
inent falsitY and deceit practiced in
its so-called tariff reforms, and then
announce the demand for a complete
and thorough change, until the basis
for revenue tariff only shall be
reached. With all these indications
as to the temper of the times and the
wishes of the people no doubt can be
entertained of the position of democ-
racy in the campaign of 1884. 1t will
be true to the ancient landmarks,
and will follow the presidents of the
party, and, with full confidence in the
stability and soundness of its princi-
ciples, will sweep on to glory. The
power of truth is peryading
the Republican ranks, and there win

bred dollars valuation. The taxing
features of the proposed amend
ments, it will be seen, are immese,
and yet it is held by the high tax adj
vocates that every cent so obtainable
will be required for necessary and
economic purposes. There are limita-
tions to the taxes, so proposed, but it
is generally the case that those who
design using revenue for certain eX-
penditures, manage to get the maxi
mum tax imposed and collected. One
other amendment is presented. 1t
appliest to county courts, and provides
that they shall hold four
terms in the year, instead of twelve
as now, for both civil and criminal
business, and such other terms as
may be fixed by county commission.
ers, provided, when times of holding
such court are fixed, they shall not be
changed for one year and that the
county court shall dispose of probate
business, either in term time or in va
cation, under regulations prescribed
by law. Objection will hardly b,
raised to the last amendment, but il
relation to those applying to taxation
there will be opposition.

New York have taken in hand the
matter of pauper immigration, and
are going to put stop to it. The
country will be gratified if they sue

they have already decided to send
back one ship-load. The insult Of
fered this country by the British gov
eminent in sending these paupers

deserves. The scum of Europe should

stead of being turned loose in Ameri-
