in the shape of the. leaf, which is more
pointed in this, and might at first glance
be taken for the myrtle.

of the orange and the bigarade, preserv-
ing the traits OF the latter in its rind,
which is thick, uneven and bitter while
the pulp, enclosed in skin equally bit

1t is cultivated in Liguria for orna-

On pleasure trip along the east coast
of Florida, your correspondent stopped
at Mosquito Inlet, from whence toward
the north the Halifax and towards the
south the Hillsborough rivers run. There
he saw one large and numerous smaller
buildings, appearing to him like a little
factory town, after being for mostly four
weeks in the wilderness, seeing only
here and there solitary settlement. A
sign over the larger buildings soon in

And so we cast aside our cherished friendship,
And so | cease to call you even friend,
And so bury from all sight and hearing
The memory of this friendship and its end.
Without shadow of regretful passion,
Without lament, with heart still glad and
strong,
give you back the treasure that you gave
me,
The jewel that valued well and long.
If you have caused me pain you are forgiven,
If you have grieved me- it is over now,
if have found you tickle and false-hearted,
You will forget-no grief need cloud your
brow.
We viii do noble work, tho not together.
And when, sometime, men dwell upon your
fame,
And pay just tribute to your worth and wis
dom,
shall rejoice at mention of your name.
And when hear how men have been made
better
Because your life has been for God and truth,
] shall remember how we met and parted,
And will say: II knew him in my youth"
All, well, it is not strange you should grow
weary,
1t is not strange we both should wish to part,
But, now it's over, ! reveal my secret
TITS this: l loved you-loved you from my

DIR. Barnum, founder of Barnum's

brother Frank on condition that he did
not take orders in the Catholic Church.
If he did the property was to go to the
McDonough Institute. Frank became
a Jesuit. There has been a fight over
the will. The heir claimed that the bill
of rights guaranteed religious liberty.
The Judge decided in favor of the insti-

did not take away the liberty of the
maker of will to say what he wants
done with his property. - Baltimore Sun.

The hremen's ball at Library hall
last night, was one Of the grandest
affairs of the kind that has occurred
this season. There was an immense
crowd in attendance and all seemed to
enjoy themselves hugely. The hall was
gaily decorated with flags and pictures,
and the music was frst-class. The
firemen were in full uniform and pre-
sented a very fine appearance. 1t is
not definitely known as we write this
item what the net proceeds of the ball
will be, but probably, from what is
known, they will amount to about two
hundred and fifty dollars, and one
thing is very certain, it WAS a grand
success. Great credit is due to Hon.

was up before Judge Fisher yesterday

LEGAL. LIGHTS
Get Into a Very Acrimonious Controversy
An Official Examination Ordered.


Never since the notable time when
such a fierce assault was made upon
Secretary Spates, and also Major
Glafcke, has there been such a bitter
contest waged against q federal office
holder as has been waged against Judge
Blair. Whilst Judge Brown is really at
the head Of the prosecution of the
charges preferred, they are in reality
made by the Wyoming National Bank
OF Laramie City, and they involve i'm
moralities upon the part of the accused,
such as gambling in poker and other
games of chances, besides other vicious
practices.
A special agent of the department Of
justice Is on his way from Washington
to Laramie City to investigate certain
charges made against Judge Blair and
to take testimony therein. In justice
to the accused, it can be stated that the
majority of the citizens Of Laramie
City are on his side. 1t Is firmly be-
lieved by many persons that Judge
Brown, in pushing these charges, is
actuated a great deal by very narrow
motives, and that his zeal plainly ex-
poses the disappointed lawyer. On the
other hand, Judge Brown is not with
out friends and supporters, and they
urge that many of the charges against
Blair a be substantiated and notably
30, those involving abuses ON the part
of the judge in favor Of certain MEM
bers OF the bar, which abuses have
often been exercised as against Judge
Brown. The latter gentleman has re-
turned to Laramie City and will be
present at the taking Of the testimony
during the progress of the investiga-
tion conducted by the special agent.
Judge Blair was in Washington, at
last accounts, rumaging around the
department of justice seeking, it is ru-
mored, to make himself solid.
By the way, he served in con
gress from the state of Virginia
during war times, and this when the
bill was passed creating the new state
of West Virginia. In a recent inter.
view, he said to q reporter at the ma.
tional capital, that President Lincoln,
whilst holding this West Virginia state
bill under consideration for several
days, considering the constitutionality
Of the same, sent for him, Blair, to
consult him thereon, he being one of the
constitutional lawyers then in con.
gress; that was at midnight, and the
bill was thereafter finally signed by
President Lincoln. Judge Blair claims
to possess considerable strength In
Washington by reason Of having been
a member Of congress at the time
above mentioned, and also because OF
the important part he took In forming
the new state out Of the old common.

which the operations OF the company
are by the incorporate articles restricted
and confined. The following, taken
verbatim from the articles themselves,
fully explains for what purposes the
company is formed,
"The objects for which the said COM
pany is formed are to buy, sell, grade
and breed live stock in the territories
Of Wyoming, Montana and within the
states Of Oregon, Texas and Illinois
and elsewhere, as the successful prose-
cution of the business Of the company
may require, and to purchase, hold and
sell real estate, ranches, ranges for
grazing purposes, water privileges and
rights In said territories and states, as
the same may be necessary or condu-
Give to the interests of said company"
This is one of the most extensive and
wealthy companies that has as yet been
organized for the purpose of engaging
in the business of cattle raising in this
territory since its organization. The
fact that the capital stock is paid up
places the company on an unusually
good basis for extensive operations, and
as the members of the company are all
wealthy and sagacious business men,
we may well expect that it will prove a
great success in the business for which
it has been formed.

A &ouring Prisoner.

Henry Clouse now has a much harder
row to hoe than when he created a
lively disturbance 10 his humble dwell
ling n morning recently to the great
disgust and decided annoyance of his
more ~peaceably inclined neighbors. But
he didn't stop his nonsense and his
nastiness here, and consequently finds
the tendons of the offended law twirl-
ing and twisting around him like the
tenacious tendrils Of the creeping ivy
vine clinging around ar old stately oak,
though only about 200 per cent tighter
and more unpleasantly for the placid
contemplation of a terribly tortured
mind brooding over the prospect of
penal punishment in store and to be
unerringly inflicted by the strong arm
of the offended law. Special Ohicer
Smith has sworn out a warrant
against Clouse charging him
with attempting to commit mayhem.
1t was during the time that the of
fcer had the culprit under arrest for
the hrst-named offense that he at
tempted to gouge out the left optic of
the administrative agent of justice; had
he succeeded in this unmanly and I'M
lawful effort, that officer would have had
but Que left eye, and that the right eye.
Had the light Of day departed from the
assailed pepper, it would have been a
clear case of mayhem under the law;
hence the complaint merely charged
an attempt to commit mayhem. The
penalty or punishment for the cowardly
crime in question resides properly
within the discretion of the district
court. To this tribunal he will un.
questionably be bound over upon the
preliminary hearing, should the testi.
mony warrant such a course. In the
eye Of the law, 1t is decidedly bad
either to destroy or to attempt to des.
troy the eye of a law officer or that OF
any other man who obeys the law.
