CITY WALKS AND TALKS.

old timer of the BEES Man About Town.
ave had too much politics lately to at.
tend to anything else. but now that the
meetings ,parades and election are over We
will try to the even tenor of our
way" was the reply. "Well, talking
about politics and parades," said the old
timer, reminds me of the presidential
election of '6S. Itwasthe first presidential
election after Nebraska was admitted as a
state, and there was tha liveliest kind of
a rivalry between the republicans aud
democrats. In those days Omaha was a
| wild town. l remember the democrats
and republicans each got up an immense
torchlight parade and every man was
armed, as the two.parties paraded on the
some evening, and there was great fear
of q collision. Had any such thing &C.
Cured there would havS been a bloody
fight, but fortunately the marshsls of
each party arranged the routes 80 that
they would not conflict. The republican
procession had a detachment of cavalry,
under General O'Brien, q monitor, pro-
PEELED by two mules. and several other
interesting features. The republicans
made such a success of their turnout, that
they were invited over to Council Bluffs
the next evening. On reaching the
other side of the river the monitor,
which was mounted on a wagon, got
stuck in the mud, and Johnny
Howard, q popular young man, who was
one of the marshals, rode back to see
what the matter was. Somehow or other
he accidentally discharged his revolver,
shooting himself in the groin. He was
brought back to Omaha, and died before
reaching home. His funeral took place
at the Academy of Music on the follow
ing Sunday, and was very largely attend
ed. ne of the sad features of the affair
was that no was about to BIO married to
an estimable young lady"

-"The return of Ristori to America
and the newspaper accounts of her per,
feet mastery of the English language re-
calls to my mind" said an old Omaha
journalist the other day, "the first words
in English she ever spoke in public. 1t
was ON the occasion of her last perform
ance in New York at the close of her
frat American tour. On being called
before the curtain she expressed her
feelings on her reception in this country
and hor regret on departing In the follow
ing words, which to the surprise of her
audience the great Italian trsgedienne de-
livered in fine unbroken English:
The end has come, the farewell must be

But never, never shall the spell be broken,

Finding a Needle.

A needle broken short off in the
flesh is troublesome to both surgeon
and patient. There is so little to lay
hold of with the forceps, that any
touch which does not extract it is
bound to give it an onward impulse.
AS it often happens that no trace OF
the broken needle can be found, be-
cause the patient has pushed it com,
pletely in, by attempting to withdraw
it, two ingenious plans have been de-
vised for ascertaining its location, which
are thus described by writer in Cham
bers' Journal.
A powerful magnet is held upon that
part of the body for quarter of an
hour, so as to influence the fragment ;
then finely hung polarized needle Is
suspended over it, when, if any iron be
present, DETECTION will ensue.
In Italy, kind of ivory probe
traversed by two wires has been used
for the detection of foreign bodies OF
this nature in deep wound, it being
connected with an electric battery In
such a way that directly the probe
comes in contact with anything metallic
the circuit is completed, and its pres.
sence announced by the ringing of a
bell.

The Camphor Tree.

One of the most useful and magnif-
cent productions of the vegetable king
dom that enrich China, and more par
ticularly the provinces OF Kiang-si and
Canton, is the camphor tree. This stu
pendous laurel, which often adorns the
banks Of the rivers, was in several
places found by Lord Amherst's embas-
sy above fifty feet high, with Its stem
twenty feet in circumference. The
Chinese themselves affirm that it some
times attains the height of more than
800 feet, and q circumference greater
than the extended arms of twenty men
could embrace. Camphor is obtained
from the branches by sleeping them,
while fresh cut, In water for two or
three days, and then boiling them till
the gum, in the form of q white jelly,
adheres to stick which is used in con-
stantly turning the branches. The
fluid is then poured into o glazed YES
sci, where it concretes in a few hours.
To purify it the Chinese take quanti-
ty of finely powdered earth, which they
lay at the bottom of copper basin (;
over this they place a layer of cam
phor, and then another layer of earth,
and so on until the vessel is nearly
filed. the last or topmost layer being
of earth. They cover this last layer
with the leaves of plant called po-ho,
which seems to be species OF mentha
(mint). They now invert second ba-
sin over the first, and make air-tight
by luting The whole is then submit
ted to the action of a regulated fire for
a certain length of time, and then left
to cool gradually. On separating the
vessels the camphor is found to have
sublimed and to have adhered to the
upper basin. Repetitions of the same
process complete its refinement. Be-
sides yielding this valuable ingredient
the camphor tree is one of the princi-
pal timber trees of China, and is used
not only in building but in most arti-
cles of furniture. The wood is dry and
of light color, and, although light and
easy to work, durable, and not likely to
be injured by insects.

In the suit of The Charles A. vogeler
Company, of Baltimore. Maryland, u.
s. A., against PARROT g. Co., of Lon
don, England, the Court of Appeals
has granted the plaintiffs q perpetual
injunction with costs. The action,
which grew out of an alleged infringe
ment of plaintiffs well-known trade
mark, ST. Jacobs Oil, was originally
heard in the High Court of Justice,
where Vice. Chancellor Bacon, without
going into the merits of the case. con-
sidered it was one that should go before
the Comptroller of Trade Marks. From
this opinion The Charles A. Vogeler
Company appealed, claiming that they
were being injured by the goods of the
defendants, entitled st. Davids Oil,
being mistaken for theirs, and that
while they had taken steps to bring
q case before the Comptroller OF
Trade Marks, months would elapse
before decision could be
obtained, and, as their business would
be seriously injured by such delay, q
restraining order should be granted at
once. The result of the appeal was
that perpetual injunction was made,
with costs. The proceedings before
the Comptroller have been abandoned
by the defendants, and the Baltimore
house has thus achieved a double vic
tory. BY the order of the Court of
Appeal, PARROT g. Co. and their agents
are perpetually restrained from using
the term "St. Davids OIL" or any simi-
lar term, as we'll as the words "The
Great German Remedy" and any words
or marks similar to those used by The
Charles A. Vogeler Company in con-
nection with their ST. Jacobs Oil. The
progress of this suit has been watched
with interest by the mercantile and
manufacturing community of Great
Britain where thousands of trade
marks of almost incalculable value are
owned. It was shown by the evidence
that plaintiffs had sold during the past
few years over seven million bottles of
st. yabobs Oil, and had expended as
high as five hundred thousand dollars
in single year for advertising through
out the world. Their success in this
suit is regarded with great satisfaction
in business circles. Eminent English
ind American legal talent figured in
the case. The counsel for The Charles
A. Vogeler Company, of which latter
Mr.. II. ID. Umbstaetter was personally
present, were Queens Counsel Theo-
dore Aston, assisted by John Cutler
and Theodore MacKenna, of London,
Rowland Cox, of New York, and Gen.
William Henry Browne, of Washing

The Bailie Was Satisfied.

Some time ago the Corporation of Ayr
acquired some old property, upon which
they resolved to erect some new build
ings. A bust of Wallace and Bruce
formed the springers of the arch to the
main entrance, while the bust of John
Knox formed the key. The sculptor
had given the finishing touches to the
beard of the preacher, when one Of the
bailies passed up the street, and said
he thought the beard of Knox hung too
much to one side. "Dear me, Bailie, !"
said the sculptor, did you mo- see the

breaking in upon him. II wis shure
