Robbing Judges.
From London Society.

The audac1ty of thieves and pick

afternoon, in Oxford Street, our first
criminal lawyer, and judge to boot, no
other than Sir James Fitz-James Ste

der his own judicial eyes of his twenty
guinea gold watch; and the thief is still
at large! How that light-fngered gen

He is likely to keep that watch as a tro-
ply, the more so as it will be well-nigh
impossible to sa ely dispose oft. Again,
on the same night, the residence OF Mr..
Williams, the chief detective of the Liv-
erpool police, was burglariously entered,
while the thief-taker himself lay asleep,
and that in spite of bloodhound kept
in the rear of the premises. Every arti-
Gle of jewelry, plate and wearing apparel
which the burglar or burglars could lay
hands upon was annexed, and yet no
clue to the thieves have been obtained
This is feat which rivals Jack Shep-

Gen. JacksOn's Nickname.
From Notes and Queries

During the Creek war. when he was
suffering from a bad cold, his officers
improvised tent for him, covered with
flakes of hickory bark, under which he
slept comfortably. Next morning a
drunken haneer-on of the camp came
across the tent, and not knowing who
was in it, gave it a kick that tumbled the
structure over. AS the angry old hero
struggled out of the ruins the topper cried
out, "Hello Old Hickory ! Come out
of your bark and join us in drink. y
The general could not himself help join
ing in the laughter at the incident. AS
he looked SO tough and stern that the
spectators gave him hearty "HurrahS
for Old Hickory p and the name chung
to him ever after.

The Quack Medicine Circus.

From a New York Letter.
Every spring there are fitted out IN
New York whaS are called medicine
shows. A quack doctor will hire or buy
a tent, engage small company OF sing
ers, acrobats and sleight-of- hand men,
with few Indians added, and, thus out
fitted, will go on a tour to sell bottled
nostrums to tue crowds which gather to
enjoy his free entertainments.
One of these concerns, which L ex-
amined to-day in the Harlem portion
where it is being prepared, will be a
novelty. The proprietor retained b.
hemian friend of mine to re-wrlte an
old Indian play of the Fennimore Coop
er type. The drama had very noble
Indians in it, abnormally heroic scouts,
and a plot which included the almost
fatal illness of the principal white man.
The alteration which the Snowman de-
sired to have made was the turning OF
this passage of sickness into climax, IN
which an indian medicine man should
produce wondrous panacea for nearly
all human ills A dose of this concoc-
ton restored the hero to healty activity
at once, and wound up the play happily.
The job is done, and the maltreated
drama will be seen presented under
canvas.
The role of the almost miraculously
cured scout will be enacted by the boss
quack, and at its conclusion he will
make the announcement to the audi
ence that the story which they have
seen vivified is true, that he is himself
the actual hero, and that he is able and
willing to sell the medicine at dollar d
bottle. His calculation is that the
dramatic interest in the play will lead
them to buy lavishly.

so Miles to II Clean Towels.
From the Cowlitz Advocate,

From the COWlltZ Advocate.
A stranger who had boarded with a
Tacoma hotel proprietor week or SO
asked the proprietor how far it was to
Mount Rainier, which appeared to be
scarcely couple of miles distant, al
though nearer hundred. The proprie-
tor winked at the guests, and said that
perhaps it was mile away. The board
er said he believed he would walk out
to it for exercise. The landlord en-
couraged the tenderfoot, who, after bor-
rowing the proprietor's fine spyglass,
Immediately departed.
The joke was too rich for the land
lord to keep, and he treated all hands
at the bar and chuckled to think that
he had played it so fine on the tender
foot. The boarder, however, was no
sp~ing chicken, and in the course of
time was drinking beer with couple of
chums at Puyallup and telling them how
he had played the Tacomaite Tor two
weeks board. The proprietor at last
tumbled to the racket, and found that
the tramp had carried off seventeen
clean towels and everything else he
could get in his pockets. The proprie-
tor now has printed on card. Sixty
miles to Mount Rainer."

The Opening of the Campaign.

To open the campaign with any hopes OF
speedy success, attack the enemy, malaria, before
it has chance to intrench. An obstinate foe
twill prove if you don't go right at it. If you
are prudent, too you will have fortified, upon
the first intimation of its presence in your neigh
borhood. Hostetters Stomach Bitters is the
medicinal ammunition that you require. Every
form of malarial fever yields to this fine prevent
i've and remedy. For constipation, liver COM
plant, dyspepsia, nervousness and kidney
trouble 1t is no less effective Residents of mala-
rial localities, and persons sojourning in OF
bound for the great West, should select this med
icine as a means of defence against the frequent
visitations of miasma. Those in delicate health
the aged and enfeebled. should in every instance
resort to this signal invigorant. Use it for weak
nerves.

Photography as a Detective.

Photography is gaining prominence
in the criminal courts. With it's help a
Berlin merchant was lately convicted of
crooked WAYS in keeping his accounts.
The slightest differences in color and
shade of inks are made manifest in the
Photographic copy. Blue inks appear
nearly white; brown inks ON the con-
trary, almost black. A contemporary
states that the books of the accused
were submitted to photographer, who
took off the pages concerned and
brought into court the most
undoubted ocular proofs of the
illegitimate atter-entry of some
of the accounts. A subsequent
chemical test substantiated this evil
dence- The Photographic is to be pre-
ferred to the chemical test, because it
brings IT'S proofs into the court, and sub
lnits them to inspection, ut the same
time leaving the document under eX-
animation unframed; while the results
of chemical test must be taken on
The evidence of the chemist alone, and
the writing examined is perhaps de-
stroved In another case similar to the
above, the changing of the date of a note
by an insignificant erasure and addition
was proved by means of photography.

Spoke After Five Years Silence
From the New York sun

A curious report comes from the IN
sane asylum at Poughkeepsie, where a
school has recently been orsanized for
the patients. A woman who had refused
to speak for some five or six years stood
in the spelling class in line with the 9th
ers. The teacher pronounced word to
her when her turn came, as he had to
the other members of the class, never
dreaming that she would respond. I'm
agine his surprise when she promptly
and clearly pronounced the word and
spelled it correctly. Since that time she
has conversed as freely a. other women,
and great hopes are now entertained Of
her ultimate recovery.

Very sensible A." Japs."

In Japan the old-school physicians are
permitted to wear only wooden swords.
This is a gently sarcastic way of expressing
the opinion that they kill enough people
without using weapons. But the druggist
who introduced DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery into the Empire, carries a fine
steel blade. 1t was found that all who tried
this wonderful remedy Tor coughs, colds,
-consumptive tendencies, blood skin and
liver troubles, were, without exception,
greatly benefited. The Mikado himself is
said to have toned up" his system by its
USE and the importer was therefore per-
mitted the exceptional honor of wearing the

Fashionable society is now governed
by the rules that prevail abroad-rules
not at all adapted to the social condi-
tons here. A man can't call on young
girl without seeing her mother; can't
take her driving or to matinee, or in fact
anywhere unattended, and naturally
devotes himself to married women, who
don't need chaperones. In fact, the
girls don't need them either. But they
are the correct form IN they must be
had, though they come high. And SO
marriages grow fewer and fewer IN
