A Remarkable Case.

The case OF. Charles F. Kring, the st. Louis
murderer, Is q most remarkable one. That he
committed a cold-blooded murder by shooting
his mistress down has never been donied. He
has had seven trials, and each time was con-
victed and sentenced TO death, aud yet he has
evaded justice. The case was finally carried
TO the Supreme Court of the United States on
a writ OF error, and was there argued a couple
of months ago for the defendant by Jeff Chan
dler, one OF the most brilliant OF Missouri
lawyers. Yesterday the decision was rem
dered, and the case is reversed and remRnded.
II is great triumph for the lawyer and his
client. 1t ia conceded that the latter Will now
escape the gaIlows.

rushing after Congressman Randall, who was
en- route to get a small check cashed by the
Treasury cashier.
Some one had told Pinchover that Randall
was going TO scoop" the country out OF
$4,000, and with flushed face and his para
lyzed beaver sitting back on his Uranium, the
Colonel made a bee-line for the Pennsylvania
Congressman, but was captured by n watch
man before the victim OF his wrath was
reached.
''He vas schoop dis country long enuf, he

as Your FATHER WoRKIN' ?"-The
following is furnished by the Eureka (Nev. J
Sentinel This commonplace little ques-
tion has lately come into very singular ap-
plication among the children in Eureka.
The gamin from foRr years old up have it
on their tongues, and fire it off hundred
times day. How the words ever hap.
pened to become slang among the juveniles
about town is nut that we are unable to
crack. It is used among them as an insult
to make one another mad" Two urchins
had tussle on the street yesterday, and
the fellow that came off second best was at
once coached by two or three older boys
for another bout, and, in order to tantalize
the victor, they made him say to him, sis
your father workin ?" The question acted
like dropping hat or knocking chip off
the shoulder, and in aminute the youngsters
were at it again, tooth and nail. There is
something in the question, seemingly SO in.
nocent, that sets the boys by the ears as
quickly as men fall upon each other when
called by those gross terms of endear.
ment that prevail in the Far West. 1t is
understood among the boys that if cne of
them is asked "if his father is workin' %
he will have to fight or be called q coward !;
so that, though the questions seems simple
and inoffensive, it means war every tine.
Possibly the point of the insult is that re-.
Gently good many workingmen have got
out Of employment, and that the little
roosters about town have hit on this bit Of
slang to annoy and humiliate those boys
whose fathers have lost their jobs. If this
is not what the youngsters msan, we give
it up, and will offer a chrome to anybody
who will give us the key to this, their
latest, piece of slang.

This is the season when hens run mad,
and will not be comforted unless they can
hide away somewhere and sit day and night
on wooden nest-egg or an old door-knob.
Several men were discussing this question
in grocery store one evening recently. A

marked, "Not even an act Of Congress can
break up settin' hen." Ever tried jam

vIcroR HUGo.-An exchange says that
although deafness has come upon Victor
Hugo, his eyesight is still unimpaired. The
distinctness of his vision he attributes
to not having for nearly half century
worked by candle-light or smoked. His
general health is excellent. Every morn.
ing he works standing at desk and pac.
ing up and down his room from seven to
eleven. He is clad during these hours in
elastic white woolen hose and an ample white
flannel dressing gown, At half-past eleven
he takes bath, and then breakfasts. The
afternoon is spent, in fine weather, in rid.
ing on the top of an omnibus or walking
in the Bois de Boulogne. He goes out un-
accompanied every evening. He has friends
to dinner on Thursdays and Sundays. He
likes to be told 6he news of the boulevards,
the theaters, the Chambers; but if there
are strangers by be prefers not being spoken
to. 1t is disagreeable to him for his friends
IN their presence to roar into his ear. BE

THE YOSEMITE FALLS New York
Times copies from the CornhM Magazine
the following description of Yosemite
Falls: The width of the stream at the
summit is about 20 to 80 feet, but at the
base of the upper fall it has expanded to a
width of fully 300 feet; and, as the wind
carries it to one side or the other, it plays
over space of about a thousand feet in
width of precipitous rock. face, 1000 feet
in depth. This is the hight of the upper
fall. As seen from below, the Yosemite,
though divided into three distinct falls, is
apparently all on one plane. It is only
when you reach some point from which
you see it sideways that you realize that the
great upper fall lies fully quarter
of mile further back than the
middle and lower falls, and that
it rushes down this space in boil
ing cascades till it reaches a per.
perpendicular rock, over which it leaps
about 600 feet, and then gives third and
final plunge of about 500, making up
total of little under 200. Now,
if you can realize that the hight
of Niagara is 1872 feet, you will perceive
that if some potent magician could bring
it into the valley it would be effectually
concealed by trees of fully its own hight,
many far overtopping it. Niagara,
of course, makes up in width
what she lacks in hight. The Horse
shoe or Canadian Fall is about $50 feet.
The width is 2, 100 feet. The American
Fall is about l60 feet in hight and /, 100 in
width. The total width, inclusive of Goat
Island, is 4, 200 feet.

luc Oasc VI Acts ncDcr NcWtous
NEW YoRK, April 27th.-The presentation
of Rev. Heber Newton on charges of heresy
is regarded among Episcopalians here as
blow aimed at Broad Churcn progress by the
ultra conservative or Low Church party,
Doctors McKim, Buel and De Costa being
pronounced types of the latter. Newton is
regarded as eloquent and popular, but not o
very profound teacher and theologian. It is
believed that Bishop Potter, ON account of
age and increasing iEfrmities, is very 10th to
have the case to go to trial, grieving deeply
over the prospect of another possible schism
occurring in bis time. The secular newspa-
pers are making much of the case, and are
predicting more important aud exciting
controversy than has yet been waged in the
Episcopal Church in America.
