ANOTHER TEST.

Messrs W. b. Wiltshire & Co., Agents
IMAGINABLE d URBAN SAFES, 206
California Street, San Francisco, Cal:
Gentlemen-In reply to your inquiry con
corning the opening Of the Burglar-Proot
Chest in the safe of the Office Of the Clerk OF
the Supreme Court-now so we'll known as
The Mccarthy Safe,
will say that took charge Of the Office on
Wednesday, the 9th instant.
For some days previous, unsuccessful at
tempts had been made by various experts
to pick the lock. On Thursday, further
similar efforts were made with the same re-
suit by Mr.. Ensign and other noted experts,
ALL OF WHOM FINALLY DECLARED
THAT THE LOCK COULD NOT BE
PICKED, and that the safe must be opened
by force.
On Friday 1 employed the expert of one
Of your competitors, who did faithful and
honest work, for that purpose.
On Saturday morning work was begun,
and this morning Wednesday,, FOUR
DAYS AFTER, the expert succeeded in
drilling through the door and opening the
safe.
l consider it was an extraordinary severe
test, much beyond what a burglar could
possibly employ under any circumstances,
and can assure it has inspired me with tue
highest confidence in the security of your
Burglar-Proof Safes, AND THAT YOUR
LOCKS ARE PICK PROOF AGAINST
THE BEST EXPERTS.
After working for some hours on the lock,
one expert said that he had found that V
was one letter, and another that q was one.
On examination, neither of these letters APP
peared in the combination. Yours, truly,
j. d. SPENCER,
Clerk of Supreme Court.

THE WOODEN ToOTHPICK,
And it's Peculiar Relation to Lovely
Woman.
From the Detroit Free Press.

From the Detroit Free Press.
The most potential idol breaker l know
is the toothpick, especially the wooden
OOthpick-2,500 for cents is the drug
store rate. Now, abstractly considered,
the tootbpick is not bad idea. 1t enables
a certain numerous class to cut a con-
siderable figure in the shadow of first
grade hotels. 1t is also a familiar pro-
perJy of the after-breakfast horse car
farce that is daily played by those who
publicly clean their finger nails with
their tOothpicks and then clear away
their. teeth with them. The uulitarian
may not always be politely bred, but he
is a prodigiOus economist, and should
therefore command our respect. DR..
Samuel Johnson is remembered chiefly
for his great intellect, though l suppose
it is very we'll settled that his personal
habits were, perhaps, as filthy as those
OF Socrates. In view of such history,
what may we not bope that time will
bring to the man who gives his finger
nails precedence Of his teeth in the office
of the pick? Our education has so far
advanced that we are not unfOrgivably
offended by mems manipulatiOns of that
essential little instrument; but good God !!

and / am panied to observe that the lat

PIKE sup ERIoR COURT.
a Jury Refuses to Bring in the 'erui''
Requested BY the Judge.

ZEBULON. GA, April 13.-Pike superior
Court has inst adjourned after session
which has been made famous by the large
amount OF business dispatched, unGer the
able administration OF Judge James .
4 Boynton. the newly appointed Judge OF
the Flint Circuit.
The most important criminal case OF the
session was that of the state vs.. Riley
Meriwether, charged with murder. A
verdict ofinYOluntary manslaughter Will
put Riley IN the coal mines tor term OF
three years, as his counsel is too well sat
ished to seek new trial.
An unusual occurrence during the
progress Of the criminal docket was the
trial Of solomon Tignor, charged with ar
son. solomon was undoubtedly guilty OF
house-burning, and the jurles of Pike
county are in the nabit Of dealing without
mercy in administering justice to crimi-
mails. 10 was clearly shown to the court
that Solomon is a rayng lunatlc. For
this reason the Judge, solicitor and pris-
oner's counsel agreed that the jury should
render a verdict of guilty, with recon-
mendation to mercy, so as TO save his
neck, it being the intention of his attor-
ney to sue out a writ Of lunacy and try
Solomon on that issue at later mo
ment. Some of the States wit
nesses were put upon the stand
and the States attorney thereupon adj
dressed them and requested verdict
with the recommendation to mercy. The
jury retired under the charge OF the Judge
for the purpose it was supposed of put
ting in writing the formal verdict which
had been suggested to them. Time wore on,
and finally the case had to be Withdrawn
from their consideration and a mistrial
declared upon their resolute refusal 10

MACON, April 13.-Asa Thompson, liv-
ing about two miles from the city, lost his
two cribs by fire last night about O'Clock.
He lost 600 bushels OF corn and large
lot of fodder and hay. He does not know
how the fire originated, but thinks it
was the work OF a tramp named Patrick
Conrad, who is under arrest.
Last night Laura Carter, colOred, was
badly burned. She was warming some
spirits of turpentine, and holding it too
near the fire caused it to ignite and blaze
up, burning her left hand, arm and face
very badly.

a pistol this morning. 1t is
said that Mr.. Peacock got up as usual
this morning. After breakfast he went
out to the lot in the rear of the house. In
a few moments the cook, hearing pistol
shot, rushed out to the lot. Mr.. Peacock
was standing up with his head resting
on the stable. When be saw the negro
he waved her away, pulled the trigger,
and sent the second ball crashing
home into his heart. He then fell to the
ground and expired. His wife and neigh
bors, learning of the terrible deed, went
to the place where Mr.. Peacock lay, but
he had breathed his last. Mr.. Peacock
was a man apparently about51 years old,
and had wife, but no children. lie was
well known in Macon, and was quite

the Way of Object Teaching.
NEW YORK, April 49, Rev. j. Benson
Hamilton, the new pastor Of the Cornell
Memorial Methodist Episcopal church,
preached his first sermon in his pretty
church building Sunday morning. The
title OF his sermon was: How TO fill
empty churches" The church was full
OF Pensioners who wanted to hear what
he had to say on the subject. Pastor Ham
iltOn comes from Rhode Island.
A huge screen, hidden behind folds OF
crimson cloth, stood behind him as he
rose 10 preach. His text was: "He
brought him to Jesus" and at two inter-
walls in the discourse he turned about,
drew aside the crimson folds and revealed
two large pictures in bright colOrs illus
trating the theme. Beside the screen
stood a placard in large black letters,
inscribed with the different topics of the
sermon. Pastor Hamilton started out
with the idea Of preaching illustrated
sermons on the same basis as the sunday
school object lesson. The new expert
ment certainly took with his Pensioners.
Pastor Hamilton said the ott-repeated
sheer and taunt of the auti-Christian cav
iler, "The theatre is full and the church
is empty" could be answered only by the
minister and the congregation making a
personal effort to fill the church.
Next Sunday Pastor Hamilton Will
preach on the theme Goods wine, mans
wine, DEVILS wine; which did Jesus
make? 1t will be illustrated by three
large oil paintings and white board Pla-
card. The three kinds of wine will also
be exhibited and explained.

ALL OF US MUST COME DOWN.
A CoIored Preacher Who Says the Devil
is Dead.
From the Baltimore American.

From the Baltimore mericGn.
Rev. b. w. Ford, well known blind
colored preacher, has begun series Of
religious meetings at the hall occupied by
the knights of King David, at the corner
of Lexington and Pearl streets. Yester-
day afternoon his theme was "The Fune-
raj of the Devil.o He announced his text
as follows: 80 Luciier, the first son of
the morning, thou art too high" from
Isaiah, XXI, the real words being Glow
art thou fallen from Heaven. q Lucifer,
son OF the morning" The preacher vehe-
mently insisted that the devil was dead,
as he could not get back to
Heaven, and was dead to pardon,
although alive to the world, "Luciler
is the first son Of the morning." he
exclaimed, land so he gets up before any
of you. The Lord said to him, % Luciter,
you're too hieh: you must come down.
and we must all come down. Vanderbilt,
you had money enough to give every one
of us TWO or three dollars apiece; but you
must come down and get into the grave.
Grant, you saved the nation, but like. Lu-
cifer, YOU must come down. There's no
help for it. Lincoln, you were the Moses
Of the EthiOpians, but YOU were too high,
and you had TO come down. Garfield, the
nation mourned for you. aud they prayed
y
TO come down" The preacher insisted so
strongly that the devil was dead that,
when he asked his hearers If he
was right, they all agreed he
was. In one OF his digressions he
said: ~ served the devil twenty.four
years, and they were twenty-four years
lost. He's always ready TO get you into
scraPe, but he never helps to get you out.

receiving and handling all the freight
offered, which is not very much, and were
sending out all the trains required
by the business to be done. The

that when the militia are Withdrawn they
