A PRACTICAL MAN.

Several days ago, during services in the West Koob church, t~o game roos- ters entered the house and began to fight. An old deacon was sbou, to gect the chickens when the preacher, stepping down from the pulpit, said: ( Held 6. i. minute, Brother Mauhe~s, want to show this congrega gatioa the evils of cock fight ing show how barbarous

 "rn go ysu," the preacher replied. "f am new m an in this community and 1 -Ss: :c ssc= :s:. ce.ss-.s...c. shas there's not sinner in the neighborhood that can bluf me"
 The red chicken was defeated. The preacher, putting the stakes into his pocket. remarked: "f've been needing new saddle for some time and 1 am thankful to sec that circumstances have favored me. Since chickens are desez- mined to fight and since sinners are de- termined to bet, ! think that it is the preacaer's night to take adsAa:age of the xitsafion.~

"A person struck by lightning" says an exchange, "does not know 1t, the fluid being much quicker than thought. The nerves which convey pain are rather slow in their power to convey informa- ::o:, Stick pin in the tail of an ele- phant, and quite percepdble interval occurs before the noble animal gives his opinion of the man or boy at the end ofthe nervous system on trial. Lightning does its work before the victim knows anything g. Two men were struck while taking refuge under a tree. Both were carried into the house, and laid out for dead. One of them revived, and after weeks of suffer- ing and in6rmity he got out az Aia and is still living. He said that he knew no more about having been struck by light ming than he was conscious of having lived before the flood. It was all news 10 him when told of the fact. This seems to be plausible, and in some in- stances may be true, but in Arkansaw some time ago, well known man was struck by lightning and knew at the time that he was being struck. The fluid ranged downward, not in a continuous stre. but seemed to be divided into some fifteen or sixteen sections. Some time elapsed before he fell. At the time he did not appear to be suffering, but the next day he complained greatly.

They Apply for the SIS.

Quite number OF released convicts
have applied during the last few days for
the $l5 provided in the new law enacted
by the Legislature. There has been
some difficulty or delay in obtaining
this appropriation until to-day, when
Marshal Ireland arrived at an
understanding with Treasurer James
Jack that will involve very simple pro-
cess in order for parties to obtain their
dues. A statement setting forth the par
ticulars in relation to the released convict
is made out by the Marshal, and on pre-
sentation OF it the money is paid over to
be expended as the Marshal or Warden
may direct. 1t is in this last feature
where the fun comes in. The parties who
have applied thus far for the provision
have been greatly surprised when in
formed that at. least $40 of the amount
must be spent for clothing under the di-
rection OF the officers. This does not
seem to strike the boys just right, and the
probability is some OF them do some en-
phatic swearing on the side.

WILL GEORGE o. CANNON ApPEARs
Different opinions i'm the Matter,
but II Is Expected He VIII
re in Court.

As the time approaches for the trial OF
George @. Cannon, the theories respect
ing his appearance are assuming a more
pronounced phase, and many who were
in doubt are now quite prepared to ex-
press definite conviction, and back it
with money in number of cases. 1t
will be Il jury trial tomorrow, If any
thing, and not an examination before the
Commissioner, as some still persist in
surprising. Groups OF interested parties
could be seen everywhere to-day dis
cussng the problem, and great
deal of betting was still going on. Our
reporter heard one party pooling $500
wager to put up against the assertion that
George q. Cannon will appear personally
in court tomorrow morning.
1t became rumored around town, APP
parently having its source in very good
authority, that his attorneys would pre-
sent to the court a doctors certificate,
showing that the defendant was
continuance would be asked for.
incnt men were free in expressing their
cmptorily to accept such a certificate, rs
it is belived that no reputable physician
whose certificate would be acceptable to
the court could be induced to sign Il state
ment that Mr.. Cannon is not well enough
to appear for trial. The fact OF his hay
ing left his home some days ago, which,
according to the Heralditself, he did do, is
evidence that he is not desperately ill.
A gentleman was heard to say this morn
ing that DR.. Hamilton would probably
give certificate, and that there may
have been some such purpose in view
when he was employed, as there were
several Mormon doctors who were moi
even consulted. Those who know DR.
Hamilton do not entertain for moment
the idea that he would sign his name tc
anything that is not perfectly bona fde
To ascertain whether there was any
thing tangible in the certificate business
as rumored, a DEMOCRAT reporter called
on LeGrand Young, Esq, the principa
attorney who is expected to appear in thu
defense. He very candidiy stated tina
80 far as he knew there would no sucl
action taken-certainly he had heart
nothing about it. 1t was the inten
ton of the attorneys for Mr.. Cannon
to be present and ready for trial to-mor
row at the appointed hour, and he be
licved the defendant himself would bt
present also-that is, he had no cause t,
entertain an opinion to the contrary.
There is little doubt but an immens,
throng OF people will gather in and aroun,
the Federal Court House tomorrow
morning, and it may be necessary to pro
vide some extraordinary means to kee
them within bounds.
