A UOMICAL CASE.
Accusation and ounte Accusation In a
Civil suit.

There was considerable hilarious fun
during the progress OF a civil suit in Judge
Fishers court yesterday afternoon. Scott,
the painter, a well known local character,
instituted a suit against Fred Bohnstedt,
the second-han dealer, presenting a claim
for $3.50 for wages. The defense made a
general denial, averring that Scott was
employed when in distress, and had ex-
pressed a willingness to make himself
generally useful in consideration of a far
allowance of suitable rations. Scott main
tanned that $50 per month was stipulated
as his remuneration. The witnesses were
umerous, and like all parties to these
police court affairs, inclined to omit moth
ing which might be converted into evi
dence. Mrs. Bohnstedt was questioned
as to the condition of Scott so far as
drinking was con cerned-was he drunk or
sober. eyes, sir" was the prompt res
ponse, whenever he could get it. When
the laughter subsidized witness explained
that the plaintiff was frequently intoxi-
Gated while in her husbands employ.
Bohnstedt stated hat Scott was starving
upon one occasion. II thought you fed
him." remarked the lawyer sarcastically.
Il did," remarked Bohnstedt, 'it was
whisky he wanted" Scott took the
stand and archly set forth that his en-
ployer had possibly forgotten their agree
ment, that the proprietor was intoxicated
a greater portion of the time, anyhow.
On cross-examination Scott admitted hat
he had once been drunk.
The decision was withheld for twenty
four hours.

There is a difference in the value of
dollars-gold and paper dollars. The
Spanish gold dollar is about equal in
value to our gold or g~reenbacks, but
their paper dollar is only worth about
forty cents of our money, or their own in
gold. For a So greenback you can get
$3.50 Of Spanish money. When you
examine the wine list you are struck for
the moment with the exceedingly low
price Of the French wines-St. Julian
claret, 81, and Veuve Cliquot champagne,
81, for example, Come" you may
argue, II can easily afford to celebrate
my first visit to Havana in a bottle of
Chateau Margaux or Pommeroy Sec."
Possibly you have not noticed a little
word of three letters at the head of the
price list, 1t reads orc, and if you in
dulge in n 81 bottle without noticing this
word, instead of paying 81. so, as you
may have expected, you will find, on
rendering a So greenback in payment,
that you will receive in change only 81.
But it is a gold dollar.-''M. p" in

All Canton smells to heaven, if one
will accept it that that realm ever views
this noisome cesspool and sewer trap of
the Chinese empire, and Coleridge, with
all his training with the smells of Co
logne, would find a lifetime too short to
count and classify the separate odors of
Canton. The Pearl, or Canton, river,
beside which the city is built, and on
which a great city of boats exists, does
not pretend to wash Canton, and the
widest fable and legend could never in
vent a Hercules omnipotent enough to
attempt the cleaning of it. The actual
sights of Canton, the temples, pagodas
and things put down in the guide book,
are most disappointing, but fill one with
admiration for the literary travellers who
have made SO much of them.-"Ruha-

What is believed to be the most power
full and efficient tool yet made, is the gi-
gantic hydraulic forging press of the At
las works at Sheffield, of which Krupp
of Essen has ordered a duplicate. 1t ex-
erts a nominal force of A, 900 tons, though
its actual maximum power is consider
ably greater. The work is made ready
for the great machine by three furnaces,
each capable of heating an ingot of 100
tons, and two travelling cranes, each a
lily lifting 100 tons, convey and manipu,
late the forgings. One man operates
four valves to raise, lower, advance, re-
tire, move sideways or rotate the forg.
ing, and another man regulates the
strokes of the press with the utmost deli
cacy and accuracy.-Arkansaw Traveller.

Our oldest child, now six years OF age, when
an infant six months old was attacked with a
vlrulent, malignant skin disease. All ordinary

who attempted to cure 1t bnt it spread with
almost Incredible rapidtty, until the lower por-
tion of the lit e fellows person, from the middle
of his back down to his knees, was one solid

had no rest at night, no peace by day. Finally
we were advised to try the CUTICURA RENE

three or four weeks Il complete cure was
wrought, leaving the little fellows person as
white and healthy as though he had never been
attacked. In my opinion your valuable remedies

1t is stated by an electrical journal that
no less than 5000 small motors have been
sold by different companies within the
past year, and that 1000 others are in
course of construction to meet the in
creasing demand. These motors range
from a half horse power to ten horse
power, but it is mainly for doing light
work in printing offices, machine shops,
shoe and box factories, bookbinderies,
knitting works, bottle washing, pump
ing, dental lathes, and for ice cream
f~reezers, coffee mills, organs, etc., that
they have been brought into use. II

SCIENCE AND ALCOHOL.

Prof Alglave. a great French scien-
tist, in recent lecture, says, that al
cohol made from potatoes. corn, rice,
beets, etc, is seven times more poison.
Gus to animal life than if made as for.
merly from grapes. Experiments on
animals have demonstrated this to be
a fact. He states that it is owing to
this that the death rate among alco.
holic patients has largely increased.
Forty out of every hundred insane
persons he found had been intsmper-
ate.
1t will be noted that in this country
nearly all the alcohol is made from
corn or other grains, aud this seven.
fold poison substance, mixed with 9th.
or harmful drugs is practically the ba-
sis of all liquors. 1t is 20 wonder
that the drinkers race is swift and his
end sure.

"Rey. Spurgeon and Sam. Jones both

all the years since their decease their heirs
haven't received a nickel of compensation
Messrs. Spurgeon and Jones have Jared a

A telegram from Nebraska City,
Neb., says Judge j. F. Kinney, agent
of the Yanktop Sioux agency, in Da
kota, arrived here Friday after being
nine days on the road. Five days
were necessary for the party to travel
thirty miles. The thermometer during
the five days was at forty degrees be.
low zero most of the time. The Judge
says the loss of life in Dakota has
been greatly underestimated and the
Dakota papers have tried to cover it
up. He describes the scene which
took place on board the cars. The
passengers we're crowded into one car
trying to keep warm. Two babies
perished. The men discarded all the
outer garments they could spare and
gave them to the ladies and children.
Finding these not enough, mail sacks
were brought from the postal car and
the children wrapped up 10 them.
While at one station in Bonhomme
County the judge says, nineteen frozen
bodies were brought into the depot 10
one day. In BOnhOmme County the
list of dead will reach fully $50. The
estimates made at Yankton, Thursday,
figure up nearly 900 lives lost in The
Territory. The counties where the
loss of life was the heaviest are Bon.
