1t is not entirely without interest to relate
that many hundred negroes were among the
Loyalist refugees of 1888 and that the British
government lever generous to its friends in
Distress gave them the same land grant, "a
tons and live stock as otner Loyalists, and
that they and their descendants haye ever

By far tho most interesting, however, of
these Loyallst "reminiscences concerns the life
of Benedict Arnold at st Jehn. In 1850 he
received from the British government COCO
guineas and the rank of brigalier general
IL 1871 he went to England with Lord Corn
wallis, with whose assistance he got a pen
sion for Mrs Arnold Of $500 g year for life
and e1OO for each CT their children. In 1875
he located at St. John and remained there
several years trading to the West Indies. In
17SS his store was burned, and in 1870 his for
mer partner, Munson Hayt, charged that
Arnold had set it or fire to secure the insur
ance. Arnold brought an action for SANDER,
asking $4,000 damages. After an exciting
trial the jury gave the plaintiff twenty shil
lings! Thereupon Benedict sold out and re-
turned to England.

could do. In due time he, too, matches
out an ininitesimal villain, different
from that of the other doctor, and he is
willing to stake his reputation for learn
ing, be the same more or less, that this
is what raises the rumpus with the hogs.
DR.. Salmon names his villain the micro

wrote on his discovery are in the archives
of the United States government.

when up steps DR.. Frank S. Billings, of
Lincoln, Neb., who asks for no Office at
the hands of his country, and who "fears
no power this side the grave or be-
yond," and avows with all solemnity
that there is no micrococcus at all, and
never was; that there isn't anything but
bacillus suis.
Then the hog experts locked horns on
the question so desperately that finally
congress appointed a committee to find
out whether the thing was micrococcus
OF, after all. nothing but bacillus suis.
There was u split even in the committee
over the burning question. Two reports
were submitted, one for the wretched
little lnicrococcus, the other against. So
the case now stands.

There is deal of humbug in the way
the time of ships crossing the ocean is
reckoned. Liverpool steamers do not
count the time from the hour they leave
that city, but wait till they reach Queens
town. Then, approaching this shore, as
soon as Sandy Hook is sighted the ship
is considered to have crossed, although
it may be half day before she reaches
her dock in New York. There never has
been ship yet that made the trip from
Liverpool to New York or from New
York to Liverpool in less than seven
full days. The usual time for the average
rapid ocean steamer is nine days.

An Interesting Decision.

\ case has been in litigation in New
York state which is of general interest.
An old farmer, Francis b. Palmer, had
a grandson, of whom he was very fond.
Although he had other heirs, he made q
viii giving his property, worth nearly
- 600, to this boy, who was Is years old
in 1881.
The existence of the will in his favor
was we'll known to the youth, who in
his 10Th year became wild and unman-
ageable. His grandfather admonished
him that unless he mended his ways the
will would yet be altered, but the warn
ing had no effect. In 1882 the boy, then
Is, became tired of waiting for his in
heritanca One day he put strychnine
into the old gentleman's whisky Jug
Grandfather Palmer drank the poison
and died The boy, Elmer Palmer, was
arrested, tried, found guilty and SEN
fenced to the Elmira reformatory. He
remained in the institution three years,
and the youth who murdered his grand
father to get property the fond old man
had willed to him was such good boy
that at the end of that time he was dis
charged Then he claimed the property
he had committed murder to get. The
other heirs fought the claim, and 1t was
decided in their favor against the young
man.
There was no law in the land to fit the
case, but the court decided that by ''un-
written law" there can be no inheritance
by murder, The case may be taken as
establishing a precedent. 1t is the first
case of the kind known in this country.

The question has again come up
whether the first steam vessel to cross
the ocean went from America to Eng
land or came to America from England.
The truth is that the honor belongs to
this country. The first steamship was
an American vessel, of 800 tons, that
made the trip from New York to Eng
land in eighteen days. Her name was
the Savannah.

BISMARCK, Dak., Feb. 1.-THE only
warIike movement made in the legls-
lature to-day was the passage by the
house of a measure for defense. In dis
cuSsing the now famous Judiciary re-
port some days since, AikenS allowed
his ardor to get the best of his Judge
ment. He was so anxious to appear as
leader of the fight against Gov. Church,
that he foOlishly exposed himself to the
fire OF the enemy, 50 when that guoer-
material bomb exploded in the house
Saturday, no one was so frightfully
mangled as AikenS OF followed and
whined as piteOusly. TO prevent
repetition of such disaster, he intro
duced a resolution empowering the
speaker and chief clerk to read all
documents received from others than
members and withhold the same from
the house, unless pertaining to some
matter Immediately under consider
alton. The resolution passed and
its author doubtless feels much
more secure from prOfane attacks.
Newman went on the warpath; mem
Der was the fellow he was after. Some
days since the special committee to
which the matter was referred, voted to
have the Normal school located at Mil
nor, Newman's home, but the chairman
of that committee refused to make a re-
port, claiming fraud in the vote. The
report didn't come, however, and the
matter will be rec0nsidered. The gov
ernOr sent in his approval OF several
bills, among the number being the
one limiting county treaSurerS and reg
listers of deeds to two consecutive terms,
the North Dakota constitutional con-
vention bill, and the measure creating
a subdivision of the Sixth judicial dis
trict, with term of court at La sMoure.
The bill which the governor already
vetoed twice, furnishing members with
newspapers, passed again, and was sent
to the executive third time. The only
bill of Importance of the eighteen intro
duced. was one by Price, providing for
a constitutional convention for South
Dakota. the time and place not named.
Senator Crawford presented to
the council communication from
the South Dakota Live Stock
association praying that the territorial
veterinary department be not abolished.
The governor announced his approval
of G. b. l23, an amendment to the board
of health laws. The bill providing for
the re-eStablishment of section posts
was passed. Hughes introduced a bill
approprlating $4,000 for the North Da-
kota penitentiary. A bill requiring
railroad companies to lease land on
depot grounds for grain warehouses
was introduced in both houses.
