Solving q Problem.
From The Manchester Times.


An amusing story is told Of the late Mr..
Justice Byles. The learned Judge was an
excellent shorthand writer, having early in
life graduated as a reporter. At the Somer,
set assizes on one occasion, as was custo-
mary, he read portions of the evidence to
the jury, but foundered hopelessly in the
middle Of q sentence There was an awk-
ward pause, and the jury and bar nervously
awaited the result His lordship at last,
after many efforts to decipher the missing
word, dropped bis dignity, and leaning over
toward the reporters below, inquired, Can
any of you gentlemen assist me to a word
here? / have not put in the novels, and
what have in my book looks as Il wit
ness had said 'Ge and call in the baby,
ut"-with e puzzled look-"it can't be that,
because there is no baby in the case
One of the reporters was equal to the oc'
casien, ard putting in the right vowel, the
word bobby" was the result and the Judge
continued his charge.

Quaint Ancient Customs in London.


Yesterday, after morning service in the
Prior Church of ST. Bartholomew the Great

An Artful Pig.


On Monday afternoon, March O. ! had
occasion 10 visit newly erected cowhouse
on a farm on my property in Shropshire. In
one part Of the cowhouse partitioned oil
from the rest of the building, the farmer
had six mich cows tied up, and also litter
of fine young pigs running loose and separ,
ated from the SOW. Whilst converslng, |
observed one of the young pigs was busilY
engaged sucking the milk from one Of the
cows, which was standing perfectly quiet.
The sucking pig, which had paid no atten-
ton 10 our entrance, was erect supporting
itself with its forelegs against the inside of
the cows off hind leg. In this manner it
was able 10 reach, and continued suck
ing vigorously, with evident relish until
the farmers wife, to saver her milk, drove
it, with the other young pigs, out of the cow
house.

the rector and his wife throughout their fu-

What the Intention Was.

The Tribune this morning has the fol-
lowing:
We copy the following from the Salt
Lake DEMOCRAT:
However much one may differ from Mr.. Pratt
in his practices, yet it must be acknowledged
that he was no craven cur when brought face
to face the law.
Does the DEMOCRAT mean by the fore
going that when Mr.. Arnold, arraigned
the same way, frankly stated that hence
forth he would obey the law, he was
craven cur?" If not, what sense is
there in the foregoing? And does the
model paper mean to advertise to this
community that, in its judgment, for a
prisoner at the bar to refuse to promise
to live within the law in future is an act
or sign Of heroism?
If the Tribune is not too aged or too
wise to learn, it can look over the files of
the DEMOCRAT to find out our position on
the case of Mr.. Arnold. This reference
to Mr.. Arnold by the Tribune looks like
an attempt to twist language. We would
have preferred that Mr.. Pratt followed
the example of Mr. Arnold, but we
plainly say that Mr.. Pratt was no craven.
and although he had broken the laws of
his country, yet he did not vince when
punishment came for that violation. We
do not favor violation of the laws, nor

Court Notes.

The case of the People VS.. H. c.. Glenn
ems, charged with shooting Chinaman
was called in the District Court this
morning, but Clemens not being forth
coming, the usual call requiring the
bondsmen to produce him was made,
and there being no response, his bonds
were declared forfeited, and the case was
dismissed.
The taking of testimony in the case of
Charles Nelson, charged with man
slaughter, occupied the attention of the
court during the morning session. Dis
trict Attorney Dickson entered quite ex-
tensively into architectural plans in order
TO get at the amount of knowledge pos
sessed by one Of the witnesses in this
case. The position of pool table and a
cue rack was made a matter of consider
able Importance in the case this morning.
Nelson was placed in the witness box
and subjected to a severe cross-examina-
ton with view to ascertain the connec-
ton OF events relating to the quarrel be-
tween himself and Gardner.
The jury also took a lesson in architec-
ture, occupying some little time in ex-
amining a plan of the building on the
State Road.
In the case of the People vs. Hannah
Brightmore, an appeal from the Justice
of the Peace's court of Tooele was asked
and allowed.

THE GOLD BAR RACKET.
Once Worked in salt Lake, IL AGAIN
Comes to the Front i'm Arizona.

1t will be remembered that about two
months ago the telegraph contained an
account that bar of gold bullion was
stolen from the office of the st. Helena
Gold Mining Company at Las Delicias,
Sonora, by J. w. Smith, confidential mes
senger of the company. The bar was
valued at $4,000. A reward was offered
for the arrest of Smith, but he was never
found. The theft of the bullion sug-
gested to some of the enterprlslng minds
of Arizona way to turn an honest penny.
The Tucson TdilingS thus narrates the
story: GA few days ago an engineer
and a conductor on the Sonora
Railroad went to Louis and NJ.
Goldbaum, who keep saloon
at Benson, and offered to conduct
them to the man who had the bar, saying
that he would sell it for $1,000. The
Goldbaum Bros. thought this too good
thing to let slip; SO scraping the amount
together, in case and equivalents, they
accompanied the railroad men to spot
IN the mountains near Benson, where
they duly received the coveted bar, III re-
turn for the 81 900. Coming up to Tue
son they chopped the bar into small
pieces. which they forwarded to various
points for assay and sale, and sat down
to await their assays and returns. The
returns soon came, in the shape OF uni
form reports, to the effect that the metal
was worthless. TO say that the pur-
chasers were mad is to put the matter
very mildly. The worst of it is that they
dare say-nothing about it."

The Tramp Nuisance.

In various of the lower parts OF the
city there have been seen roaming about
certain unsavory gentlemen of leisure, "
who, judging from their actions, were
only awaiting an opportunity to accom-
plish whatever mischief might fall in
their way In quite few places sundry
little articles have been missed from
about the yards and outhOuses, the dis
appearance of which can only be ac-
counted for by reference to the aforesaid
gentlemen" with more time on their
hands than anything else. Another
habit of the professional tramp has been
exhibited, namel y that of going to a
house, and if there were any men folks
about, asking for something to do in
order to earn a meal, but if it is found
that the coast is clear, and there is no
one but women about, demand is made
for old clothes, or something of the
kind, such demands being made in
such manner as to leave timid wo-
man with but little choice in the matter
This has occurred two or three times
lately, and it is about time something was
being done to put a stop to the thing.
These pests to society came near making
life unbearable to people living in the
outskirts of town last year, and if not re-
strained will do the same thing again this
summer. They came in on the trains
from various directions, and, eluding the
vigilance Of the depot officers, spread out
over the thinly populated portions of the
city, where they can have things about
their own way. About the only thing
that can be done is to use a club or shot
gun on a few of them when they begin to
make themselves numerous about the
place. If these or some other stern
measures we're adopted with them, Salt
Lake would soon get the name amongst
the profession of being 'bad medicine"
and we should be to a great extent freed
from the nuisance.
