Gus rate of increase, as may be in
ferred from the fact that stream

great as another will be able to
transport material weighing 46,656
times as much as that carried by the

engineers commonly calculate the
effect of scour on a river bottom
are about as follows: A stream

HOW HE REACHED THE
.HTRY.
A Lawyers Remarkable De-
fense of a Thief sInst After
the War.

Louisville Times.
| A few years after the war Ed. Col
Inns, shiftless fellow of Mercer coun-
ty, was indicted for stealing cattle.
The case came up before Judge J. G.
Wickliffe, now United States attorney
here, then circuit judge. The trial
was in the court house at Harrodsburg.
Phil. Thompson, Jr., was prosecuting
attorney, and Phil. Thompson, ST.,
and Col. Thos. G. Bell now assistant
United States attorney here, appeared
for the defense. Ed. Butts was circuit
clerk. Collins had been soldier in
the Federal army, while every man on
the jury, the prosecuting attorney
chief clerk, and the Judge himself, had
fought for the Confederacy.
The witnesses we're brought forward
and plain case of theft was made out
against Collins. The only dependence
OF the defense was the testimony of
Collins daughter Rose, who was to
prove an alibi. She was beautiful
woman, with well-rounded figure, deep
black eyes, complexion in which the
hues of health sat beauteously en-
throned, and black hair that swept un-
confined almost to the floor in long
waves. She was made to tell her
story for all it was worth, and Colonel
Bell made touching plea, appealing
to the sympathies of the Jury for
beautiful woman in distress with all
the power of language he could sum
mon, but the veterans of Donelson and
Shiloh were unmoyed.
Then old Phil. Thompson laid him
self out to mystify them and raise a
doubt of the prisoners guilt, and he,
too, finally began to appeal to their
gallantry. In the midst of a glowing
sentence, however, he found the jury
yawning, looking out of a window and
wholly inattentive. Breaking off his
pathos, the old lawyer leaned back on
a table moment, eyed the jury quiz
zically with humorous twinkle in his
eye, and said:
"Look here, gentlemen, this stealing. :.
was done during the war, and you
can't do anything with man for that.
You, Tom Mundy !" he continued,
turning and pointing to the foreman
of the jury, a strapping big Kentuckian,
"don't you remember that sheep you
stole in Powelrs Valley9 You can't
convict Ed. Collins"
There was general waking up of
the jury, and a smile went round.
"And you, Dan Bond, you know that
horse you stole from Lord Alexander
in the spring of 1892 You can't
send man to prison for stealing cat
tle." The smile broke into an open
gutfaw in one or two places, and half |
a dozen men on the back seats stood |
up.
As the old man took up the jury
one by one, and recalled his sbortcom-
ings the laughter became general and
continuous. Finally he said
"And there's my Phil. Wasn't he
one of Morgan's worst horse thieves
What can he say against Ed. Collins?
And yon, Ed. Butts; you remember
that raid on that old Yankee sympa-
thizer in East Tennessee 2 And can
You raise your voice against him
And his honor on the bench, if the
truth were known"
But the rest of the sentence was
drowned in shout of laughter and
uproar of applause that shook the
building.
The jury was out ten minutes and
they brought in verdict for acquittal.

OvsrhauIins the Popular Conception.

1t was n little hard on DR.. Holmes that
one of the papers in his OHn Boston should
turn upon him for reServing his Harvard
poem 10 publish in The Atlantic and say
of him that there is Yankee thrift
about this turning OF poems for public
occasions into money VIII Ch is hardly in
accordance with the popular conception Of
the pOerical temperament" The state
nent may be true; We are afraid it is.
But the popular conception" needs
overhauling. There is no good reason
why the poet should bestow the offspring
OF hi. muse upon the public for nothing
any more than there is for the painters
doing the same with the fruit of his in
spiration and toll. There has been-and
probably still is-a good deal of wrong
headedness on the part of the public in
this matter 1t is only recently, il at all,
that the masses have become fully recon
ciled 10 the notion OF minister's taking
any thought about his salary; and his
changing pulpits in order to secure better
compensation is still regarded pretty gen.
orally as good subject for jOcose allu-
sions 10 call with money in it, or to
the spreading Of the gospel without
money and without price" Yet the in
telligent admit when they give the sub
ject any serious consideration that the
minister is as worthy Of his hire as any
other lsborer. And why not the poet as
wells-Detroit Free Press.

The Persian's Indulgences.

Moderate in eating the Persian only
drinks to get drunk. The Koran fOrbids
him TO indulge in spirituOus or any other
Intoxicating liGoor. but the well to do
classes uniformly break the law. Having
once violated their cOnSCiences they in
yariably go TO the extreme IN the other
direction. In his anderOun (harem) the
Persian, with his boon companions and
dependauts around him, will drink the
fiery raw spirit of the country called aTrak
or the beady native wine till he drops like
log on his rug OF other stimulants he
uses opium Ctheriakj and hasheesh
(chengl. Opium is made into little pills,
generally mixed with after OF roses or
some other flaVOring substance. and is
partaken of in moderation, mostly only
while travelling, to better bear fatigue.
Hasheesh is III common use more especl-
ally with the deryishes and priests, who
work themselves into frenzied condition
by means of it. Tea is the national bever-
age and is drank incessantly.- Strange to
say, it is OF poor quality, very weak, and
is sweetened ~ as TO taste more like poor
mOlasses than anything else. Coffee is
drank very little, and only on state occa-
siOns
Tobacco is likewise INDUCED in to an
incredible extent. 1t is mostly smoked
in Persian water pipes tghalyanl. IL the
tObbacn is Of the ShraZ brand it is very
good, hut strong. and the Persian will
smoke so many pipes of it day (Often
forty to fifty as to be in what he calls "a
state Of happiness. tkefD quite early in
the afternoon. This means a species OF
narcCsis brought on by the peculiar man
ner OF smoking, i G. inhaling the smoke,
allowing it TO penetrate the lungs and
then letting it escape by nose and ears.
AS tobacco is excessively cheap and time
no object to the average Persian, this
variety Of dissipation is the most prevalent
one, and one not forbidden by the Koran
either While the "keff'' lasts the pupils
of tho eye are dilated and a sort Of drowsy
indifference 10 all things mundane seems
to pervads the smOker.-Cor. New York

small offerings, which, however, generally
amount 10 good round sum by the end Of
the day
And now few words about Paris stores.
The shops Of the French capital are famous
all the world over. and with good reason, for
whore else il such taste shown as in the win
dows that line the grand boulevards and the
principal streets of the cityi But, as a rule, |
should suggest that Americans who have not
a large hank account limit their relations
with the Paris shops to admiring them from
the streets Within, the display is very
tempting and the shOpkeeper very afroit, and
Won run the risk not only of purchasing what
you never dreamed OF before crossing the
threshold but also of paying q price for II
that you will always dream Of thereafter.
These willy Partisan merchants know that
manufactured articles often cost twice rs
much "a the United States as in France, so
they are sure, aS a rule, to sell TO Americans
at American prices. What ] am saying here
applies only 20 the jsunty little shops that
catch the ave Of tho tourist. There are in
Paris just as many honest storekeepers as in
other cities, hut it is the natives only, for the
most part, who find them out and trade with
them.
| should suggest to those Of my country
mon and women who have purchases to make
IN Earls. 10 COnnne themselves as HluCh ~
possible to the big stores where every article
Is marked and where 50 much business il done
that all petty cheating is never resorted to
nor even thought Of. There are. perhaps, q
score Of these great stores at tie French cap
ital, Of which the most noted and unquestion-
ably the hest is the famous Bon Marche
Translated into English this means Cheap
Store" And you con get cheap things there
and dear ones, too, and IL | were 10 venture
70 give another piece OF sdvice I should say,
always buy the dear articles; for, by % do
ing, you will get something good AZ its lowest
