Throw the Jargon to the Dogs.

Pittsburg Times.
The report of Attorney general Brewster Is
one of the most important state papers printed
during recent years. Its recommendations in
some respects should not only command the at
tention of Congress, but one of them at least, is
worthy of consideration by the lawmakers of all
the States. We are surprised that the law Of
fcer of the Nation has not before directed atten-
tion to the absurd forms in which it is necessary
to draw indictments, The jargon now employed
in the federal and State courts has nothing to
commend it but traditions that would
be more beneficial in the breach than
in the observance. Its use makes these formal
accusations wholly unintelligable to the layman,
and very frequently it makes it possible to sc
juggle with language that expert quibblers are
enabled to rescue otherwise indefensbe crimi-
nails from the wholesome grasp of the law. Plain,
honest English should be good enough for the
law, as it is for all other professions save that
of medicne-whch. by the way, would lose
nothing by the abandonment of its bad and bat
tered Latin emasculations-and if the Attorney
general should prove to be a leader in this re
form, his country and his profession will be
largely indebted to him.

RASCALITY IN NEW YORK.
What Was Revealed by Quarrel Between
an Old Swindler and Hia Young Wife.

New YORK, Nov PA middle-aged, ine-
looking man, who gave his name as John Nc
Duff, applied to the Yorkville Police Court, this
afternoon, for a warrant for the arrest OF his
wife, who he said, had shot him in the back,
Yesterday Mrs. Minnie McDuff, a stylishy-
dressed young woman, wearing much jewelry
was brought before the judge. McDutf gave his
testimony, which was to the effect that his wife
demanded from him $500 month pocket money
and he could not afford to give it. They quar-
relied, and he suggested separation, which she
agreed to.

Mrs. McDuff said she got very little of the
money her husband received, and he had abused
and beaten her. On Thanksgiving Day, she
claimed, her husband loaded his revolver, and
she was warned by her mother to ''be pre-
pared" then she shot him.
Mrs Dallas, her mother corroborated Mrs
McDuffs story. The latter held in default
of $1,000 bail. Mrs. McDuff afterward said to
an Associated Press reporter that, one time,

diamonds and on last Sunday four of McDuffs

GENERAL SWAIN.
A Prosecution Which Smacks Very Strongly
of Persecution.
New York Special.

New York Special.
Seeing General Hazen about here to-day re-
minded me again of the case of General Swain,
for there Is something of the same impatience
with and intolerance towaad Hazen that is max
ing the prosecution of Swain a persecution.
Army circles appear to be full of jealousies and
envy as musical circles Editors here who could
not for the life of them explain the nature of the
charges against General Swain, join in the howl
of crucifying him He is even abused for defend
ing himself, and denounced as shameless because
he does not acknowledge everything and get out
The editorial sent Yesterday declares this, and
that all his defense is useless. Such treatment
Of such matter is infamous. General Swain
has always borne the reputation of a high-charac
tered and honorable man, and for years he was
the closest and most intimate friend Of the mar
tyred Garfield twice honored and respected by
him. Ono Of the first things Mr.. Garfield did
after his election was to promote his old and
loved friend to the high, dignifed and responsi-
bic position of Judge advocate-general of the
army Now how many people who are howlirg
at the heels of Swain know just what he is
charged withl Let me tell them as tersely as
possible:
General Swain did his banking business with
Bateman & Co He deposited So, 900 with them
and took duebill for the same. He checked
out all of the deposit except So 300 Then he sold
the due bill and refused to settle. Now, that is
what is, charged, and it can easily be made to
look bad. But there are additional facts
Swain also had deposit in Bateman's bank of
$1,000, on which he did business, and against
which he drew checks. While this running de-
posit and account was there he loaned Bateman
an additional So 600, and took his due bill for the
amount at 6 per cent interest When he
assigned the due-bll to third parties
it was on condition that they should
collect from Bateman whatever might
be due Swain and credit him with what they
collected on effecting settlement with Bateman
1t was not until Bateman had been sued on this
duo bill that he wrote his letter to the Secretary
OF War complaining of Swain. All he said he
was afterward anxious to take back and acknowl.
edge the situation exactly as have detailed it,
and that Swain did not sell the due bill for its
face value, but for what remained not checked
out, and that there was no wrong or wrong in
tent But the owner, who had been laying in wait
for Swain so long who never forgave him his
promotion out of the line and over the heads of
superiors in age and Office, would not have it So
and brought pressure to bear on the President
and Lincoln. In view of the general belief that
the charges cannot be sustained by the court
martial the cry is raised against Swain, so that
though he be dismissed honorably, he shall be
convicted by public opinion 1 have no interest
in General SWAIN and but casual acquaintance
with him, but the outrageous behavior toward
him by the press leads me to make the state
ment from my own knowledge, and in justice to
Swain.

That exceedingly disagreeable and very
prevalent disease catarrh, is caused by scrof-
ulous taint in the blood. Hoods Sarsaparilla,
by its powerful purifying and vitalizing action
upon the blood, speedily removes the cause,
and thus effects a radical and permanent cure
of catarrh Those who suffer from its varied
symptoms-uncomfort flow from the nose,
offensive breath, ringing and bursting noises
in the ears, swelling of the soft parts of the
throat nervous prostration, etc.-should take
Hoods Sarsaparilla and be cured.

Catarrh Can Be Cured

Serious consequences are liable to ensue if
catarrh is not attended to in season. The
disease frequently destroys the sense of smell
and often develops into bronchitis or pulmo
nary consumtion. Undoubtedly many cases
of consumption originate in catarrh. Hoods
Sarsaparilla cures catarrh and has even eff
fected remarkable cures of consumption itself,
in its early stages. A book containing state
ments of many cures by Hoods Sarsaparilla
will be sent free to all who send address to G.

LETTER FROM RINGoES.

RINGoEs, N j., Jan. 81, 1884.
The snow that fell last Tuesday, came
in good time to make the sleghing fine
again. The storm of Saturday and Sun
day also brought us considerable guam
tity of snow, which promises to make the
sleighing excellent for number of days.
The man who does not own horse and
sleigh, experiences not the enjoyment
Winter affords. ne
The thermometer marked several de-
grees below zero, two or three mornings
of last week.
Our icemen, now that they have their
ice houses filled, feel considerably hap
pier. A good supply was obtained by
them.
Meetings were held each evening of
last week, in the Larison's Corner Church,
in them. We understand that several
arose for prayers.
great many of our citizens were sud
denly seated on the hard ice during the
late slippery time.
1--WE are informed that Rev. John Scar
let, pastor of the Larison's Corner Church,
has been confined to his home with sick
ness for the past few days. His pulpit
was occupied by stranger, yesterday.
The weather was very favorable for the
sociable held at the home of David Will
Hanson, last Thursday evening, and con
sequently there was an extra attendance.
Considerable amusement was afforded by
games, and music of different kinds add
ed to the enjoyment of the evening.
Mr.. Wills, from Princeton Seminary,
again preached in the Presbyterian
Church, yesterday (Sabbath.)
There was good attendance at th e
meeting held in the Presbyterian Lecture
Room, last Monday evening, for the pur-
pose of organizing singing class, with
Prof. Singer, of Phillipsburg, as teacher.
A fair sized class was secured Another
opportunity is to be given, at the meet
ing held this evening (Monday), to others
who desire to join and we dare say fine
class will be started here. The class will
meet once week for term of twelve
weeks. The price of tuition is reasonable
and it is hoped that the instruction given
will prove great benefit to the members
of the class A proper knowledge of the
art of music is not possessed by many in
our village and while we have some good
singers, yet there are but few of them
who understand music as we'll as they
should, to make fine singers. There is
good material to begin with and let 1t be
cultivated. PoP.
