SOPHIA L. MATTERN CANNOT HAVE HER ACTION

The motion TO vacato the judgment In favar OF
Russell Sage in the suit brought against that great
Gnanccr by Sophia l. Mattern, and to have the trlai
Of the action before ex-Judge Granville +. Ha~e5 as
referee rc-opcned denied yesterday by 'uugc
Bookstavcr in the Court Of Common Pleas Special
Term. The ground alleged for vacating the iudg-
ment was that the defendants counsel, Henry :.
Bennett had promised the plaintiff that II he "ouid
50 conduct the case as TO allow judgment to be
entered in the defendants favor the latter would
pay the plaintiffs claim. This claim was Tor money
lost in stock transactions.
The Judge says that Il is dangerous to try
question Of fraud on adavits and the practice should
not DO encouraged And this Is especially true IN
a case where according 70 the plaintiffs claim, the
fraud had for its object the deception Of the court ana
the miscarriage Of justice, and where in order TO mako
the alleged fraudulent agreement effective for any
nu,nose the attorneys on both sides must have
been equally guilty. The motion must, therefore,
ON this and other technical grounds be denied Win

An Arabian Game o. Marbles.

The Arabs play marbles differently
from the American boys. OF course
the arrangement of the marbles to be
shot at can be varied in many ways;
but the young Arabs shoot the marble
in way of their own and much more
accurately than American lads. The
left hand is laid fat on the ground with
the fingers closed together, and the
marble is placed in the groove between
the middle finger and forefnger. The
forefinger Of the right hand is then
pressed firmly on the end joint Of the
middle finger. and when the middle
finger is suddenly pushed aside, the
forefinger os the right hand slips ont
with more Dr less force and projects
the marble very accurately in the direc-
ton Of the groove on the left hand.
Many Of the boys become very expert.
Perhaps Hs-bles are almost the only
playthings for which chiiusen pa.
money, and as rule onf "a very sma ii
capital is needed. Henry ~. yessi,p.

Hints for Sheep-Raisers.

Can sheep get too much salt, and
how should it be given to prevent that,
asks correspondent. Well. it must
be remembered that salt is poison, if
taken largely, we reply. If the ami
NAL is depriyed of salt for long time,
and then given an opportunity to eat
all it wants, it may eat too much. 1t
should either always be within the
reach of the sheep or fed judiciously at
intervals. Ones Judgment will be
enough to guide him in giving salt. If
a sheep is poisoned, the symptoms are
the same az those of Inflammation of
the stomach by poisonous plants, such
as laurel. wild parsnips or other irri-
tant. The sheep means, hangs the head
and slobbers at the mouth, the nose is
contracted and pinched in at the sides:
there is straining in attempting to
urinate; the mouth becomes hot and
infiamed, the pulse rapid, the belly full.
tense and painful when pressed; the
bowels discharge blood and Loose, dark
dung, and the sufferer soon falls into
torpor and commissions. The remedy
is to give plenty Of warm water and
thin oatmeal or linseed cruel. The
latter or gum water will soothe the ir-
ritation and relieve the pain. Give
also half dram doses of hyoscyamus.
to relieve spasms, and one ounce doses
of olive or lard oil, to eject the poison.
This treatment is applicable not only
to salt poisoning, but to all cases Of
poisoning. go Rural Neao Yorker.
