The Mutt Trial.

New YORK World, Jan. 10.
The trial of young Mutt for the kill
ing OF Dukes, the betrayer of his sister
and the murderer of his father, com
menced yesterday at Plttsburg, the
venue having been changed TO that
city.
There can be but one conclusion TO
such trial. 1t seems as if the plea of
emotional insanity which is to bo set up
by the defense was scarcely necessary.
The lad, maddeued by tie sense of the
wrongs of his sister and the loss of his
parent, and jeered at by the wretch
who could coolly cast into q father s
face the disgrace of his daughter,
would have been less or more than
human not to have committed the act
he did. In his judgment it was self
defense. Threats had been uttered by
the strong man against the weak boy,
and it did Dot need emotional insanity
to convince the latter that Dukes in
tended to kill the son, as he had al
ready killed tho father and destroyed
the sister He shot Dukes in self
defense to safe his own life.
Young Mutt received an ovation all
along the route of his journey to Pitts
burg. The people look upon him as a
hero rather than a murderer. 1t can
scarcely be doubted that the jury will
acquit him without leaving their seats.
They cannot too soon restore the lad
to his stricken mother and sisters.
Their sorrows have been heavy enough.

Address of President Coddipg.

fTle1tdS 0n6 Fe(tOU WOOL GrOUerS:-
Again we are assembled in annual con-
vention. The year just closed has been
fraught with the usual vicissitudes.
Wool has been low and sheep have fall
len off in price, and many who went
into the business without Just and full
conception of its needs have become
dissatisfied with results and forced
their hocks on the market.
A general feeling of insecurity of our
present protection on importations and
the reduction made by our last con-
gress; these have helped; yet all COM
bined have not accomplished as much
towards the result as two other causes,
viz: First, so many put money in this
business without knowing anything
about the kind of sheep, and mode of
handling. Thinking all that was
needed was to have certain number
of sheep, and the profits would take
care of themselves. Secondly, the
natural adjustment OF our hocks to the
territory of the state best adapted to
the profitable raising of wool and NUT
ton. To more fully explain, "the car
rying of large hocks of improved sheep
on the western range by men of ex-
pecience and for regular business is
of recent date, and until the use of
sorghum was commenced, | believe by
q. III. Wadsworth, of Larned, there
was great danger in keeping sheep of
the above type, and now that sorghum
sowing has become regular and gen
eral thing among all western shepherds
the cost has been reduced and the
danger of loss diminished, while the
eastern part of our state has become SO
thiskly settled and most of the land on
closed and owned by settlers, that all
the Hocks depending on free range,
have been forced to move west, thus
causing "a change that would of course
temporarily reduce prices. One point
has been settled by this depression,
and that is that light wooled and com
mon sheep must 60, for, while the
price of this kind of sheep have fallen
off in some cases 30 per cent, we find
the Ine woods arc still firm at good
prices with very few changing hands,
and when sales are mado good prices
are obtained. A few instances may
illustrate results obtained by different
modes and men.
One man, new beginner, year be-
ore last, purchased 5000 sheep, cost
at his rancho $4,000, receiving IA
mixed lot of all grades and ages. He
was imposed upon and paid $4,000
more than the dock was worth. Yet by
a generous course of feeding and care
he would have saved himself. To the
contrary course he has half cared for
them, and at present stands in a fair
way of failure. How different from the
course pursued by a gentleman now
living at his leisure in Topeka. He
bought 1000 ewes in Pennsylvania,
took them to Pottawatomie county and
the first year lost one-half his flock and
raised one lamb; yet, knowing what
was needed, still stuck to his flock and
made complete success, and after
twelve years experience retired, well
of, and left all over the state founda-
tions for splendid flocks; not only sue

ArkansaW IraVclcr.
A genuine type of Arkansaw's rural
manhood came to town the other day,
and as an unexpected detention caused
an exhaustion of the corn-bread lunch
brought from home he went to q small
restaurant to satisfy the rip-saw long
ipgs of vigorous appetite. A Chinese
waiter presented himself, and asked
what the gentleman would have"
Bring me suthin' t'eat," the old fell
low replied, IAN don't let the jmpson

The celestial obeyed, and the old fell
low, after eating heartily, showed back
his chair, looked at the Chinaman
searchingly, and asked:

During the late electrical exhibition in
Philadelphia there was offered for sale
new tangled toy known as the "kazoo,"
which took like wild fire with the small
boy visitors. Just now all Philadelphia
and the surrounding towns are endeavoring
to suppress it by legal means, but this far
with but little success. To all appear

and shaped like that portion of a beer
faucet which is driven into the keg, the
thickest part being bound around with
strip of tin, which is perforated with about
half dozen little round holes. The noise
emitted by this soul-racking invention par
takes at once of all the worst features of
the foghorn, bagpipeS, mouth organ, con-
certina, tin trumpet and cornet, and COM
bines, with these, in one fearful note the
melodious hee-haw of the domestic donkey,

issued against the possessors Of this nuis-
ance in one day in Philadelphia.

popular in all circles at Washington, espe-
cially among the members and attaches of
the foreign legations, having among her
other gifts an excellent knowledge of most
Of the modern languages. She isalso noted
for her charities, both at Washington and
Newark, and no one in either city is more
blessed by the poor than she. President
Arthur is ftty-four years old, and has been
widower for the past five years. His

MAKING THE SKETCH.

Artists Of experience usually prefer to
make their designs ON the canvass which
they are afterwards to use in painting; but
for many reasons, it is better for beginners
to use paper, since they thus have the adj
vantage Of being able to correct their de-
signs at leasure and relieve their paintings
from the appearance being rudely daubed
over by the repeated retouching. After
the preliminary sketch is finished, the back
of it may be chalked or covered with any
other substance that will answer the pur-
pose, and then the artist may go over all
the lines of his picture with the end of a
darning-needle, or anything else of this
kind that will not pierce the paper. Re-
moving this, he finds the outlines of his
picture on the canvass underneath, and can
proceed to fill them at his leasure. If this
plan be not convenient, he can ontline the
picture by puncturing the lines with
fine needle and patting the design,
after it is placed over he canvass,
with bag of starch or charcoal.
All is then ready for the first paint
ing, and the painters work may begin.
He first paints the more strongly marked
tints and then she shadows, or the reverse,
according to his taste, reserving the more
delicate parts of the work for a second
time, after the coarser portions shall have
become dry. The drying ofthe first sketch
is an important matter 1t should never
be placed against the wall, for even in the
dryest walls, there sometimes turks a de-
gree of moisture that is sufficient to injure
the tints of a delicate picture. Ii is best,
if the weather be not too warm, to expose
the picture to the sun, or at least to the
light since it not only thus dries more
quickly, but, as is believed by some paint
ers, receives a more tender tone than It
otherwise would.

M. Bechamp lately contended before the
French Academy that the human system
manufactures" alcohol, and colleague
NJ, Gautier-Said decidedly that alcohol
often presents itself physiologicaIly or
normally in the animal economy without
the introduction of sugar or other ferment-
able substance. The late researches of
Perrin and Dujardin- Beaumetz are con-
sidered as having fully demonstrated this
fact, which is not unlikely to have a
marked effect questions concerning legal
medicine.
