AS FRESH As A DAISY

The fellow the police gobbled up on
Tuesday afternoon, and whose trial was
TO have taken place on the charge of
insanity this morning, has entirely recov,
cred, and when seen by an ARGUS re-
porter this afternoon looked as fresh as a
daisy. 1t seems as first thought-he was
suffering from bad attack of the Jim
jams, caused by getting on the outside of
too much tanglefoot. He gave his name
as James McGraw, and said he came from
Baltimore, intending to go TO Davenport
He was given back his money and ticket
As soon as he came to- this morning, he
went out and purchased a new pair of
shoes. and after being shaver, he did not
look like the same person. If McGraw is
sensible he will turn over new leaf and
join temperance society or move tc
Iowa, where he will hear of no such bev
erage as whisky. Then he will be al
right, unless he gets hold of the saloon
keepers dictionary and finds the definition
of 'mumm."

Henry Breitemeir was arrested on
Tuesday for not paying his dog tax.
Henry thought enough of the canine to
feed him, but when it came to paying the
tax, he kicked. Squire Chopper fined him
according to law. Henry has found out
that if he wants to indulge in the luxury
of dog he will have to pay for it.
John Brady and Tom Carrigan filled
their tanks with the fiery liquid, common

JUDGE LOWELL'S RESIGNA
TON.

The Questf IN of His saccessor-No Hurry
IN Killing the Position.
WASHINGTON, March 3.-rhe announce
ment of Judge LowsIl's resignation was SO ua-
expected that nothing is venturei as to who
wi probably succeed HIM as circuit judge.
Mr.. Arthur will probably be in no hurry to
Eli the place. He has now on hand one vacan-
cg, caused by Judge McCrary's withdrawal,
and Judge Drummond on the poiut of resign
ing. The three iudgeships will not be f led
for some time. Mr.. Arthur will probably ad-
wise with Justice Gray regarding Judge
Lowell's seat. Justice Gray and many New
England Republicans feel that as Mass4chu-
sets has a member OF the Supreme Court, and
has had the circuit judgeship since the posi-
tion was created, 1t is but fair to allow Maine
or New Hampshire TO furnish the new judge.
The three States named, with Rhode Island
make up the circuit Should tlis view pre-
vail, it is impossible to say who would be
selected. Chief Justice Doe of New Hamp-
shire was much talked of Tor the place now
held by Justice Gray. He has been talking
for some months of resigDing from the State
court on account of his health, hut has not
doue so Thongn impaired physically, Judge
Doe is reckoned Que of the best lawyers ia
New England. He has been on the bench
since 1859. Another New Hampshire man
likely 10 be brought forward is Jeremiah
Smith OF Dover, an ex-iudge. and much re-
spected for his learning. Dlstrict Judge Clark
is rs years old, aud therefore out OF the ques-
tion District Judge Webb is mentioned in
connection with the promotion. John B. Cot
ton OF Lewiston, former partner of Senator
Frye, Is also spoken of as man who would
grace the position. Should Massachusetts, IN
sist on having Judge Lowell's successor, The
effort would probably be successful, bat his
resignation has been so much q surprise that
no steps have been determined upon.

DISEASED CATTLE.
OMeiaf Correspondence Relative to Their
Ampo tation The Prevalence of thc Foot
and Mouth Disease i'm EmxIund.


Hmpo tation The Prevalence of thc Foot
and Mouth Disease i'm England.
WASHINGTON, March 3.-Secretary Fogler
has sent to Representative Hatch commu nj
cation containing a despatch from Mr.. King,
consul at Birmingham, England, and letter
from the secretary himself to Secretary Fre-
linghuysen relative to the foot and mouth dis
ease among cattle in England and in this coun-
try In his communication to Mr.. Hatch the
secretary says:
The disclosures made by Mr.. Kings despatch
as to the prevalence OF the disease throughout
Great Britain show more than ever the neces-
sity for legislation that will protect the inter-
ests OF the United States against the importa.
tion OF diseased cattle. / may also state that
both In and nea~ the quarantine station for the
protection of cattle imported into the State of
Maine. the foot and mouth disease has recent
~ broken our, and appearances indicate be-
you'd any reasonable doubt that it had It's
origin in lot of cattle imported from Great
Britain. It is believed that no other case of
this disease exists in this country. The power
OF this depaTtmeDt in the way of protec.
tion against this disease is wholly insuffice Mt
TO protect our interests, and the matter as
previously presented, it is hoped, will recsive
the consideration of Congress at very early
date.
Mr.. Kings despatch from Birmingham, Eng,
says in part:
The foot and mouth disease prevails in all
parts OF this country. In the week ending
January 19, there were GAL farms reported in
fected, and is 96i animols with the disease,
It is fact that under the law cattle from any
of these infected districts can be moved to
other parts OF this country or shipped aN2oad
two weeks after the disease is supposed to have
disappeared from the district. The contrast
between this fact and the way the law is en-
forced against American cattle seems to me to
be striking.
On receipt Of the despatch Secretary Fogler
communicated with the Secretary of State and
said:
will thank you to inform the consuls of the
United States throughout Great Britain that
they shall not certify invoices of cattle or other
Illuminating animals, unless satisfied, by the
examination of veterinary surgeon or other
wise, that the animals are in healthy condi-
tion. 1t is hoped that the consular officers will
not exercise their duty ia a perfunotory man-
ner, but that they will take pains to ascertain
the true condition of the animals as to their
freedom fiom disease before giving certificates.
may add that IL is not deemed necessary at
the present time to apply these instructions 10

is believed that the importation of this desert o.
tioD OF merchandise is not likely to communi.

Gain the Shore.

New YORK, March 3.-Bernard r. Dierks,
steward of the schooner Teaxer, previously re-
ported sunk IN New Haven Harbor, arrived at
his home here yesterday. He gives the follow
ing thrilling experience of the wreck:
The Teazer was owned 10y b. N. Sargent, o.
Portland. Me-, was built in 1867 in Freeport,
Me-, and had recently been refitted. On last
Wednesday noon she left Elzabethport, N. j
with 200 tons of pig iron for the Portland Roll

E. Doughty; the mate, Bert Doughty, Frank
Crouk, VIM. e. McFadden aud myself. We
anchored on Wednesday night of Riker's ISL
and on account OF heavy snow storm. The
nexa morning we got away, and sailed along

the shore. We were then in three fathoms of
! water. The vessel rode all right during the
night, although there was a very heavy sea on.

ing she struck twice, owing to the heavy
weight OF iron on board. At the second strik.
ing we got the anchor up and thought to
make for the Sound, but found that the vessel
was leaking too badly. We therefore made
for the harbor.
At this time the ropes were frozen stiff.
When we got off Nor ISIS Cove, the vessel had
filled wish water. We had to remain on deck
to keep out of the water. Signals OF distress
were displayed, but, although We passed ves-
sells, none of them came to our assistsnbe. At
a. M the vessel began to sink. The yawl
was made ready, and all the crew got into it.
AS we moved away the vessel went down in
ten feet Of water.
Alter we had rowed some distance toward
shore We struck the ice. Then We had to get
out and drag the yawl toward ia d. Half the

nnaiiy reached the shore, where we mt t with
very kind treatment from family living on
the road. The mates ears were frozen, and the
fingers OF both my hands we're badly frost

OF recovering some of the property on the

His perfect grace In conversation can
hardly be reproduced, even if one could
gather the arrows of his wit. But find one
or two slight hints of the latter which are
too characteristic to be omitted. Speaking
of some friends who were contemplating a
visit to Europe just after our war, when ex-
change was still very high, he said that ''she
willy American would elude Europe for a
year yet, hoping exchange would go down."
On being introduced to an invited guest Of
the Saturday club, Emerson said: II am
glad to meet you, sir. often see your
name in the papers, and elsewhere, and am
happy to take yon by the hand for the first
time" ''Not for the first time" was the
reply. "Thriy-three years ago was enjoy-
ing my school vacation in The woods, as bows
will. Que afternoon 1 was walking alone
when you saw me and joined me, and talked
of the voices OF nature in a way which
stirred my boyish pulses, and left me think
ing OF your words far into the night,n EN-
erson looked pleased, but reioined that it
must nave been long ago indeed when he
ventured to talk of such fine subjects. In

latter spoke OF the cold eyes of one of our

regard to Caryle's strong expressions

At meeting of the railway committee OF
the Dominion House, Saturday, a stormy dis
cussion took place over the Grand Trunk Rail-
way Company's bill to enable It to raise mon
ey to double tack its line between Montreal
and Toronto. Sir Charles Topper said that
the double tracking of the road should be nm
der the governments supervision, and that the
claim of the government against the Grand
Trunk Railway Company should be consider
ed. He was afraid that II the company was
allowed to borrow more money the recovery OF
the governments claim would be further de-
layed. Further consideration of the bill was
postponed for week.
