Decision fnoa Novel Case Rendered by
Judge Rooney N't'

Fsqal tAe 4sgasta ca tAroaselS.
Judge ROney delivered bis decision
in case based upon peculiar state Of
facts and not without romantic interest.
The names of the parties are not neces-
sary to the recital of the case. Suffice 1t
to say that an attractive young lady of
this county was sued in this city by
young man, equally we'll known,
for the possession OF a ring. Owing to
some imperfection in the service of the
notice upon the young lady she paid no
attention to il, and made no defense in
the Justice Court. judgment was there
upon entered against her, and the JUS
tice, constituting it in the nature of a bail
trOver procedure, a constable was sent
to secure the ring. The young lady had
the ring upon her finger and refused
pOintedly and positively to surrender it,
The constable retired in good order and
reported the state of affairs. The plaintiff
in the case thereupOn tork out a posses
sorry warrant to empower the constable
TO get the ring with or Without the defend
ants consent.
At this stage OF the case the young
lady came forward by her attorney, W.
H. Fleming, and set out that the case was
not AN action in trOver but assumpsit
further that the ring had been given "a
her by the brother Of the plaintiff, who
was now dead, as an engagement ring;
that she had been in the peaceful and un,
disputed possession Of the same for four
years; that it was a cherished mementO
OF her dead lover, and she refused TO re-
linquish it..
the case came before Judge Roney
upon certiorari from the Justice Court
and after reviewing the foregoing facts,
he decided that the ring should remain in
the possession of the young lady.
The gallant members OF the bar who
W. re present heartily cOncurred in the
decision, and some OF them said at side
bar they would have left the ring in the
possession of the young lady even if a
strain Of the statutes bad been necessary.

cover the pilot OF the engine caught him

yards and threw him into ditch contain.

badly crippled that he could not get up,

pull q him out OF the water. The engi-
neer did not see Mr.. Rogers, and the train
sped on 70 DUPONT, where they found the

When our informant left Forrest Mr..
Rogers was still alive, but IL was thought
that his back was broken, and that he

The Prince resided for years on his

were well acquainted with him the writer
gathered the following information as to
mis- life and habits. He was possessed II
a 6ne intellect and all the cOurtly graces
of the French nobility, with a streak of
numOT in his composition. But wIthal
certain hauteur OF bearing rendered this
scion OF royalty personally very unpopu-
lar. He could, however, at will rend T
himself extremely fascinating. The
Prince was much addicted to drink,
though never seen absolutely intoxicated.

WashingtOn's Rules of Conduct.

One of George Washington's early
copy-books contains list of hundred
and ten Rules of Civility and Decent
Behavior in Company and Converse
ton" Here are a few of them:
Every action in company ought to be
with some sign of respect to those pres
ent. When you meet with one of
greater quality than yourself, stop and
retire, especially if it be at door or
any strait place, to give way for him to
pass. They that are in dignity or in
office have in all places presidency;
but whilst they are young they ought
to respect those that are their equals in
birth or other qualities, though they
have no public charge. Strive not
with your superiors in argument, but
always submit your judgment to others
with modesty. Be not hasty to be-
lieve flying reports to the disparage-
ment of any. Take all admonitions
thankfully, in what time or place soever
given; but afterwards, not being culpa-
BILE, take time or place convenient to
let him know it that gave them. Think
before you speak; pronounce not i'm
perfectly, nor bring out your words too
hastily, but orderly and distinctly.
Speak not evil of the absent, for it is
unjust. Make no show of taking
great delight in your victuals; feed not
with greediness; cut your bread with a
knife; lean not on the table; neither
find fault with what you eat. Be not
angry at table, whatever happens, and
if you have reason to be so, show it not;
put on a cheerful countenance, es-
pecially if there be strangers, for good
humor makes one dish of meat feast
Let your recreations be manful, not
sinful. Labor to keep alive in YOU
breast that little spark of celestial fire
called conscience" These are not un.
wise rules; they touch on things great
and small. The difficulty with most
boys would be to follow hundred and
ten of them. They serve, however, to
show what was the standard of goot
manners and morals among those who
had the training of George Washing
ton.-St. Nicholas for February.

The Spiders Appetite.

1t is not everybody who knows how
much a spider can eat. Most of us
have derived amusement, and perhaps
instruction, from watching the subtle
arrangements and devices of the little
tactician, with view to capture some
dainty little insect, and many of us
would know exactly where to place this
interesting creature in the classification
of animal life, but probably very few of
us have any idea what voracous gour-
mand the spider is. A gentleman, SCI
entifically inclined and luxuriating in
the rare possession of leisure, has re-
Gently given to the world some very Gu
rious and startling statements in regard
to the archneidean appetite. He cap
tured spider and kept it in confne-
ment, supplying it literally with food,
and carefully recording his observa-
tions. He estimated that the creature
ate four times its weight for breakfast,
nine times its weight for dinner, thir-
teen times its weight forsupper, finish
ing up with an ounce of food. In the
some proportion, a man of average
weight would demolish an OK for break

Pets at the Opera.

One well-known society lady made pet
of small turtle, which she dressed in a
pink silk dress and took to the opera with
her. She carried it to the opera-house
in her pocket, and when she got there
placed it on the railing in front of the box
with her bouquets. There it would walk
up and down, stick its ugly head out of
its shell and ogle the ladies in the neighbour
ing boxes, Do see Nichette," she would
exclaim, patting the turtle on its back.
A" Has she not lovely eyes," All of the
gentlemen would say that she had indeed,
while in their hearts they would want to
take her by the tail and fire her into the
orchestra. Another lady, younger than
this one-for the lady with the turtle is
married woman-had white mice for pets,
which she took to the opera with her and
which she allowed to run over the railing of
her box. They were very tame and would
always come back at her call. She would
let them crawl up her arm and over her
bare neck, and disport themselves generally
to the terror of the ladies who occupied the
box with her and who had not nerved
themselves up to this intimacy with vermin.
Another young lady has lizard, which she
lets crawl over her arms and neck. The
funny thing about these strange pets is that
their owners always exhibit them at the
Metropolitan Opera-house. These are the
people who support the German opera, and
who so dote on Wagner and are such lovers
of music that they bring creatures to the
opera with them to kill time.-NeW York

The DisObedient Mouse.

Once upon time there lived a fat
mouse in closet with his mother. One
day this mouse thought he would take
a walk by himself. He was not gone
long before he came back and told his
mother that there was nice house a
little way from where they lived, with
two holes on each side. " Won't you
come and live there?" " No, my dear,
that is not house, it is trap. My
dear child, we must never go near a
trap; for if we should, we would smell
the cheese and be tempted to go in.
Then we would be prisoners. Now,
mind that you never go near trap"
The mouse thought that he was wiser
than his mother; so he went out of his
hole while his mother was asleep, and
went for the trap. He went in and
tasted the cheese, but before he had
taken two mouthfuls the trap went
click, and Master Mousie was pris-
oner. Little boys will easily see the
point of this fable. 1-Zion'S Herald.
