Wines of the Ancients.

Clevelad (Ohio Leader,
The celebrated ancient wines seem
rather to have been syrups or extracts of
wine. They were undoubtedly sweet
and little fermented, and CAPITAL, in his
Elements of Chemistry" declares it to
be impossible to suppose that they could
have obtained any spirit, or possessed.
in consequence. any especially intoxica-
ting properties. The wines so valued by
the Geeks and Romans contained much
saccharine matter and little alcohol.
Aristotle says the wines made in Area
dia were so thick, either by boiling or by
adulteration, that they dried up in the
goat skins, and the people would scrapa
the dried material off and desolve it in
water The thick and fat wines of Chi
os, Chois Lesbos and Crete were probably
of this character.
The pitched and picked wines are
doubtless the wines the Romans kept to
such extraordinary age. Horace boasts
of drinking some seventy years old, and
one kind is said to have been kept in
Rome more that 100 years. The celebra-
ted Opimian wines, which took the name
of the consul who lived when they were
first made, are spoken of by Pliny as
having been preserved until his time,
nearly goo years, and so excellent were
they that money could not buy them.

MAD DOGS.
They Create a Scare In Sedalia

The biting of Burt Gerard Wednesday
by deg supposed TO be rabid was the
chief topic OF conversation on the streets
yesterday and a general uneasiness was
kclp until afternoon, when il was reported
6eer McGhee had found and killed the
Big near the nurseries, in the south part of
flown.
How many dogs he bit during his mad
career is unknown, but several persons
were attacked by him, but so far IS can be
learned no ore was bitten except a little
| girl of Sam Rowleite, the owl er of the dog.
Ever since las Christmas the BAZoo has
been calling tue attention of the people to
the remarkable prevalence of hydr 1phobia
/ 10 Henry, Benton and Vernon counties,
and has urged upon the city authorities the
importance of precautionary mears by the
reinforcement of deg laws, but IFS advice has
not met with the stts ntion III t should
hsve been given il as a measure of pru
dence. Blu; it certainly is high time now
that the most rigid measures should be
adopted to protect the p7ople, and especial
4ly women and children, from the mos. hor-
&ible darger known to humanity. To this
ID every worthless cur should be sum-
Lrily dispo ed of and the owners of dogs
Eade to take the proper steps TO render
them harmless. Probably the best way to
do this would be for the city counril to pass
an ordinance requiring and authorizing the
police to kill every dog found running at
large without muZzle on.

STROTHER,s SAY.
An Interesting Insurance Decis-
ion.

Sc ire County P.egress
Judge Strother rendered an import
ant decision yesterday in the case of
the Mt. Leonard Milling company vs..
the Liverpool, London and Globe in
surance company. 1t was in a suit
brought to recover damages for loss of
sacks burned with the Mt. Leonard
mill last year. Plaintiffs sued for the
full value of the sacks, claiming that
they were the property of the Milling
company, and therefore covered by
the policy of insurance issued by the
defendant on plaintiffs mill and con-
tents. Defendants alleged that the
ownership of the sacks was vested IL
Cole Bros, of St, Louis, and only in
charge of the plaintiffs for rent.
Deft admitted its liability for the
other property destroyed, and tender
ed and paid into court 1873 therefor.
There was an agreed statement of
facts as to the sacks, from which it
appears that the sacks We're rented by
Neff, from a st. Louis firm for a
monthly rental, which was paid up to
to the time of the fire, and it was
agreed that all sacks MT returned to
the st. Louis firm, were to be paid
for by Nef. The policy contained a
provision that representations made
in the application of the same should
be warranties; and further that if
the interest assured was that of
lessee, or any other than the absolute
owner, it should be stated in the writ
ten part of the policy. The applica-
ton and policy both represented the
property to be that of the a,,.red
plaintiff, and did not disclose the fact
that the sacks were leased.
The case was represented on the
Mt. eonard Milling Co., by Messrs.
Boyd & Sebree, and on the part of
the insurance company, by Messrs.
Gage, Lad & Small, of Kansas City.
The court decided that the repre-
sensations of warranty was binding on
plaintiffs, and that the lease not hav-
ing been disclosed by plaintiffs, they
could not recover for the sacks burned.
The conrt remarked that no blame
was meant to be imputed to plaintiffs
in not stating their exact title to the
sacks, but that the courts were bound
to follow the contracts of parties, and
could not make the contracts for
them.

CLINTON CHIPS.

Clinton, June 1S.-[Corre pon1ence. /
Charlie Griffin is doing a lively lsmber
business now. He has opened half doz .r
yards ct poin's on the new railroad, and is
r aping a rich harvest.
Col. Stry ker, of Sedalis, has been award
ed the contract for the brick work on the
new college h re. The foundation will be
completed this week anu work on the su-
perslructure will commence next week.
A sort of q double bOycottiug arrange
meat seems to be goin2 on in Clinton just
at present, The origin of which is the COM
ing issuance of licenses TO dramshops
which, as ev. ry one knows, occurs July
ard January i OF each year. The w. &. L.
u. of Gin on have determined to resist the
license system, and to that end have ben
ci'culstIng circumstances 10 opposition to
the peti ions of the salOonists. This in
ceussd the latter, who resorted to a threat
to boycott any merchant signing the re-
monstrance. The ladies getting wind of
this retiliated by a threat TO boycott
the merchant who signed the
petitions. This gives the advantage to the
feminines "a the saloonisls must have the
signers on their petition, while their alb
sence from the remonstrance has no signif-
canoe. The fight is lively and excites con-
siderable comment and attention.
The number of DRINKS in this burg is
sufficient to excite the envy of much more
populous and pretentiOus metropolis, from
fur 10 five arrests ing made nightly. As
a rule, each person arrested is found 10
possession of a bottle of the ardent, and as
a consequence, the msrshsl's closet has be-
come pretty we'll stocked. This came to the
knowledge of some of the thirsty inmates
OF the cslsboose ard last night four of them
succeeded in getting iuto the corridor and
breaking open the closet, from which they
helped then selves so copiously that when
the marshal returned from his rounds he
found them dead drunk on the floor and
about gallon of the ardent in the larder.

Tower Lights.

The following, regarding the cleo
trio towers erected at Lacrosse, Wis,
is from the Republican and Leader, of
that city, being part of a two column
article on the subject
"On the 9th of this month three of
the towers were lighted, and on the
10th the fourth was ready. Since
then they have been furnishing the
lights for Lacrosse, and the citizens
have had ample time to judge its mer-
its. The general opinion is that
there is no hing like it, that it does
all that was claimed for it, and more,
too, and that it is in every sense a
success. and good investment for the
city. The light resembles moonlight,
and, though not Sd strong as full
moon, fills the air with plenty of light
to distinguish objects at a great dis
lance. The most interesting incident
thus far was the illumin ited thunder
storm of the other evening The sky
was overcast with black clouds and
the rain was falling. The scene was
weirdly strange, the light making the
drops glitter in the air like gems,
giving one the impression that there
was bright sky above him, singular
ly inconsistent with the storm that
ragged about him. Members of the
council, prominent tax payers and
business men have expressed their
satisfaction with the result, and the
world is invited to come and see for
themselves. Many experiments have
been tried to test the strength of the
light, such as telling the time on a
watch dial several blocks from
tower, or reading a newspaper, etc.
The light can be seen for many miles
in the country, and will serve as
guides to travellers and rivermen."

fxei it in the door so tnst an old piston
rod, which was placed in position, would
kall on the cartridge. The other night
hen there were but four or FIVE men in the
sbop, there was a shot near the cupboard.
