A very curious cause lately came before
the justice of the peace of Neuilly, France
Some time ago Nine Pluyette, widow of
so, but who still attaches much Importance
to personal appearance, had the misfortune
in playing with q lapdog to receive from it
so severe wound in one of her eyes that it
came out of the socket. Having heard much
of artificial eyes, and being recommended to
apply to an expert manufacturer in this way
named Tamsier, she gave an order for a
glass eye for which the optician charged 100
francs $50. Refusing to pay this charge,
the manufacturer summoned her before the
justice of the peace.
Nine. Pluyette having appeared, holding
the glass eye in her hand, the judge asked
her why she refused to pay the bill which M.
Tamsier had sent in.
For very good reason" replied the de-
PENDANT. 81 can see no more with this eye
than 1 could before"
"What?" said the judge "Did you really
imagine that you would be able to see with q
glass eye?"
Ibid think 500" retorted the angry dame.
certainly did. Will you be so good as to
tell me what eyes are for except to see witha
ordered the eye for use, and until NJ. Tam
sier makes me one with which can see will
not pay him SOU"
The justice of the peace endeavored to con-
vince Nine. Pluyette that glass eyes were for
others to look at and not for the wearer to
look through; but finding all appeals to her
reason of no avail, he condemned her to pay
the plaintiff the amount of his demand When
the defendant heard the decision she became
furious with anger, and, after dashing her
glass eye on the floor, she rushed out of court
amid the laughter of tho crowd.-New Or

SULLIVAN'S CASE.

The San Francisco Bulletin announces
that SULLIVAN and KILRAIN have been
taken back to Mississippi to be tried on the
criminal charge of prize fighting in that
state" 1t further announces that 'the
plucky governor has hunted up the fugi-
tives and sent them before the courts for
trial" Further along, the same article
would have us know that SULLIVAN did not
know he was fighting in Mississippi, but
supposed the contest was going on in
Louisiana, in which latter state there is
also law against prize fighting, and that
his apology therefore amounts to nothing;
she simply did not know in which of the
two states he was violating the law
The fact that prize fighting is contrary
to the civilized sentiment of the age, sen
timent which has crystalized into law in al
most every place where laws are made,
causes US to receive such statements as
those of the Bulletin quite gratefully, on
their face But the pleasure of reading
them is clouded by the unwelcome appear
ance of few inaccuracies. For instance:
SULLIVAN and KILRAIN have not been taken
back to Mississippi to be tried, nor have
they been taken elsewhere for trial or for
any other purpose; there is no law in Lou
isiana against prize fighting, and SULLI
VANS apology should therefore amount to
what it is worth; it is not
"a question of not knowing in
which state he was violating the law if he
supposed he was not doing so in either.
The Bostonian slugger himself is the only
one taken to Mississippi for trial, and it is
a two to one bet that he will not be con-
victed. The average Mississippian is not
greatly opposed to fighting, and out of
twelve men selected from the populace,
surely there will be at least one who will
stay with the ''big 'un;" tits more doubt
ful question if there can be found on the
panel one for conviction.

for short time gave up, or rather down,
small portion of its treasures. The more
imaginative among them ascribed the down

pitious, that having promised free water in
the event of victory, the clouds them
selves were coming to the rescue and
assisting them in bearing out their plighted

MURAT HALsTBAD has his handsome head
set upon the United States Senate. For
RAKER is willing, SHERMAN offers no obiec-
lions, the administration is of course his
friend, and his paper--the Commercial Ga
zette-will move heaven and earth if needs
be to secure the place. This would seem to
settle it. So much backing and such de-
gree of unanimity rarely fail of their OBJ
iect. Senator HALsTBAD has anything but
an unpleasant sound. He will then become
more prominent in the country. He can
also make it sultry for those Republicans
who stopped him from going to Germany

1t is very simple process for children to
become acquainted with each other if they
are left to their own devices. This is the
way it comes to pass:

with the tiny daughter of the new next door

THE 'BooMERs'' in Ogden are said to be
apprehensive that the Liberals will carry
this city next February, in which event
''the boom will be transferred to Salt
Lake, as a gentleman from the junction
city expresses it. The fears of our neigh
bers are groundless. In the first place,
there is little likelihood that the Liberals
will carry this city in 1890, and in the sec
ond place, if the Liberals do elect their
ticket next year, it will not be followed by
a boom. Salt Lake is not boom city, and
never will be. There is too much good
sense among the property owners, and
without the cooperation of the latter, the
boomers will be powerless.

THEIR EYES OPENING.

Senator MCMILLAN, of Michigan, is
another distinguished Republican states
man who is called upon by the workingmen
to explain the discrepancy between Repub
lican theories and actual facts. Mr.. Nc
MILAN is a many times millionaire, most
of his money having been made from the
protection to capital which high tariff af-
ferds. He was so earnest last year that he
gave literally to the party fund, and even
took the stump himself, extolling the
beauties of the protective tariff and making
the usual promises of good times, plenty of
work and high wages if HARRISON were cleo
ted. He didh full share of the work which
was required to induce Michigan to
give a ten thousand majority in
favor of the war tariff. His party leaders
sounded his praises, and his employees who
were forced or wheedled into voting as he
directed were hopeful of long period of
prosperity. Well, HARRISON was elected,
the continuance of the war tariff was as
sured, and now, five months after the in
auguration, it is announced that the
Peninsular Car works, of Detroit, owned
principally by Senator MCMILLAN, have dis
charged more than half of the employees
owing to slack orders. The announcement
is accompanied by the statement that in
Detroit there are ten thousand idle men,
most OF them having once been employed
in the protected industries" like the car
works. The intelligent oues among this idle
army are naturally very much Disguised,
and some are openly denouncing MCMILLAN
and other orators and employers for leading
them astray with false promises. There
are those who are not afraid to speak of the
campaign conduct of the Republicans as
swindling. 1t is safe to say that if an
election were to occur now Michigan's

DR. HAMMOND, of life elixir fame, gives
out note of warning thus: ''Don't drink
ice water. 1t is deadly. 1t will chill your
solar plexus." That ought to settle it as
to ice water. We all have too much regard
for our solar plexus to have it monkeyed
with by ice water. Now if the doctor can
only convince the girls that the solar plexus
is imperiled, if not actually curtailed of its
usefulness, by ice cream, hosts of young
men will rise up and call him blessed.

EVASION OF THE REVENUE LAW.
1t is Charged That it is Practiced for the
Most Part by Americans, who Own
Mines in Mexico.


H. Remsen Whitehouse, secretary Of the
American legationin Mexico, has submitted
to the state department report upon the
American mining interests in the south
western republic. His report indicates
that American capital is largely interested
in mines in Mexico, and that investments
in that direction are steadily increasing.
Secretary Whitehouse states that he has
addressed letters to nearly all the Ameri-
can owners of the mines in Mexico, and in
response has obtained much information
regarding the situation and names of the
mines, the character Of the ore, the yearly
output, the means of transportation, the
cost of labor in the various districts, and
the extent to which American made ma
chinery is used.
There are several mines owned by Amer
leans in the vicinity of the city of Mexico,
but the information concerning them is not
definite nor satisfactory. Americans are
also working small claims in the state of
Guaniuato and in the state of Michoacan.
In the state of Chihuahua, a number of
mines are worked exclusively by Ameri-
cans and with American capital. These
are the Batopilas Mining company (silver),
Philadelphia Mining company (silver), Ell
Refugio Mining company Silver and gold,
Torreon mines and snelter "copper", silver
and gold.
