Those citizens who did not feel like
sparing the price Of admission TO the thea
tres last evening should have gone to the
City Council chamber, where they could
could havs found, free, probably more
amusement watching Council legislate for
them. The second act Of the excrutiating-
" funny three act Councilmanie farce
known as "Fun in an Art Gallery" was
performed, with the usual excellent cast of
comedians. The curtain rose on . strik-
ing tablesu representing Council trying to
let go Of the picture which they
had bought for $500 in the fret act-the
artist in the background with hands under
his coat tails blandly refusing to receive
il. The scenic effects of this tableau were
greatly enhanced by the elegant framingof
the picture. The fun waxed fast and fari-
Gus as the plot developed and ths situs-
tions were strikingly ludicrous. The fun-
niest scenes of all, though, are promised in
the third act, which was foreshadowed
qaits plainly last night. Ii promises
to be the lengthiest Of the whole farce
aud will show the aforesaid artist in
the great and original act ofsuiug the city
for his $500. The grand finale will prob
ably present the city in the act Of forkipg
over the whole amount, say, for costs and
picture, something like s., 600. 1t prom
ises to be very funny for the citizens, very
fanny indeed, and large audience Of tax
payers should bs there to enjoy it.

THEY hsd high old time at the eele-
bratiOn Of the one hundred and second
anniversary by the Eoglishmen OF New
York OF st. Georges Day. Prof. GOODWIN
SMITH, of Toronto, stirred the hearts Of
John Bulbs American representatives by
an exceedingly bitter speech against
Home Rule, dOnchsr kns9. In it he said
the Irish we're not fit to govern them
selves aud protested again the angling by
American politicians for the Irish
vote, thereby, as he said, posing
this country 'as tho frieLd Of an
aliea vote against old England" CHAUN-
CEY NJ. DEPEw, the Republican
PresiieLt tial candidate, was present, and
unwittiogly gave some point to the latter
of the Profs< sor's bitter remarks by throw
ing out a bid then and there for the Irish
vote by dissenting from the Professor
sentiments amid hissss from the Brilishsrs
present. There is no doubt that CHAUN-
CEY put in good lick for himself and his
chances before the Chicago convention
have Iis N Fifty per cent. Those few mild
remarks Of his LAST night may prove the
stepping stones to his nomination. Larger
events have turned on smaller incidents,

THE GREAT FLOODS

Accounts are given of great losses
to property owners, along the Upper
Mississippi river, caused by inunda-
tions. The levee that protects the
Sny bottoms gave way at an early
hour on the 14th inst, and the men
engaged in strengthening the levees
had to run for their lives. An open
ing one hundred yards wide was
made, and the water rushed through |
and into the bottoms with a roar.
Couriers fastened through the bot
toms, warning the farmers of the
break, and there was wild chase IN
driving live stock to the highland.
The bottoms are in Illinois and en-
brace about 100000 acres of land,
and reach from point opposite Lou
isiana, Mo-, to point opposite Han
nibal. At the broadest places they
are over FIVE miles wide and the over
flow makes a great and turbulent sea-
At six o'clock on Monday the Indian
grave levee gave way and submerged
14,OOO acres of lowlands, 5000 acres
of which was planted in wheat. The
levee broke about six miles above
Quincy, Illinois, on the Missouri side
of the break at Alexandria, and has
caused great sea, covering over oOO,-
900 acres of land, in the midst of
which is modern Venice, with i'm
promptu crafts of all kinds and sizes.
Water floods the town of Alexandria
from two to six feet deep. The peo-
pie were in a manner prepared for the
flood and the suffering is not great
The bottom was planted in wheat and
corn, and the farming community
O reckon their loss at figure aggregat
- ing $4,000. Most of their live stock
:, has been driven to the bluffs. The

We have discovered from actual
in attending courts that
there is a great mistake somewhere
in the law requiring witnesses to ap-
pear before grand juries; IN many
cases a witness or plaintiff will go be-
fore a grand jury and make state
ments upon which indictments are
found against persons for violation OF
the law, and when the case is brought
up in court for trial, and the witness
is called, his memory has become
verv treacherous, and he has forgot
ten all the main features of the case
that will sustain the indictment and
convict the defendant and then the
district attorney get well cursed fol
neglecting his duty. The law should
be amended, so that when a witness
is summoned before grand jury MS
evidence should be written down
and the witness required to sign 1t
and when introduced into court if hi
swears differently let him be prose
cuted for perjury. When this mod'
of procedure is adopted there will b.
fewer malicious prosecution case
brought before the grand jury, fewe
indictments will be found, fewer case
will be thrown out of court, and ther
will be less costs paid by the county
and court will get less abuse on ac
count of the laws not being enforced

Wy. V. SMITH, who struck Patrick
Mclaughlin on the head with willow
caoe' at Rocky Bar, April 11th, re-
sult'ng In the death of Mclaughlin
on the first inst, had hearing before
justice u. ID. Golden. The testimony
was taken on the 10Th and 11tb INST
Alter reviewing the testimony the
justice said in effect that he could find
no cause for holding him for the ac-
ton OF the grand jury. The verdict
OF the Coroner's jury was to the effect
that death was caused by blow in
filcted by Smith without criminal IN
tent. Mrs. Mclaughlin, mother of
deceased, had Smith arrested on a
charge of murder. Smith, in a letter
to the Statesman, says: at was at
my request that General Roberts came
here to prosecute, because | desired
to set myself right before a COM
munity where l have resided for the
past seventeen years" Mclaughlin
suffered fracture and perforation of
the skull two years ago in falling
from a house, aud DR.. Brown closed
his affidavit by saying that "a slight
blow would more easily take effect
than were the brain and blood vessels
of the brain in more healthy condl-
ton"
