THE PRISONERS STORY.

The prisoner (Williams) testified that the
killing was an accident that he trod on young
Alders foot and that this raised the disturb
ance; that he was put out Of the store of Wee
den; that Alder got at him twice after putting
him out and struck him in the face and when
Alder came out with the glass the third time he
said he had heard enough, and, drawing back
as if he was going to strike, witness took up
the half-brick and threw at Alder. He remem-
bered at the time that Alders son had said he
was going to get a pistol, and thought that
Alder was going to shoot him.
The defendant was subjected to long cross
examination. during which he denied state
ments of witnesses as to threats, &c.
In rebuttal Thomas Alder testified that he
did not say to Williams that he was going to
get pistol.
This closed the testimony, and the counsel
presented prayers for instructions.

the stock market this morning was made up on
an active business but with q rather hesitst-

than advances. The only important change,
however. was a gain Of q in Northern Pacific

ton, however, soon giving way TO the
usual pronounced strength, and the leading
stocks, such as New England. Missouri Pacific,
Louisville and Nashville, St Paul and Atchison,
quickly rose from to Is Per cent each, and
the rest of the list gained smaller frsc-
tions. Chicago gas was the one marked ex-
ception to the rule and developed extreme
weakness for q time, reacting ~ per cent,

Played Billiards All Night,

A good story is told of the late S. l.. NJ. Bar
lows experience, several years ago, with some
democratic friends who had gone to his sum-
mer home at Glen Cove, on Long Island, to
spend a holiday with him. The party was
made up Of the late Gov. Tilden, Charles
A. Dana, then as now editor of the Sun; Man.
ton Marble, editor of the World; Smith NJ
Weed, since become prominent in politics, and
one or two other men of position. After dinner
his guests made their way to the billiard room
and began to play. Before long Mr.. Tilden
confessed to sleepiness and proposed to go to
bed. Mr.. Barlow accompanied him, with the
purpose of returning later to his pleasure-seek-
ing friends, but when he got up stairs he
reached the conclusion that, as his guests
knew where to sleep, he would follow Mr.
Illden's example. He did so. and slept soundly
until after daylight the following morning. On
awakening he heard the rattle of the billiard
balls, and concluded that, as his guests were
such early risers, it was quite desirable that
their host should get out soon possible
he did so and went to the billiard room, where
the game had proceeded without interruption
through the whole night. He found at the
door, the only exit his faithful but fierce bull
dog standing guard. The guests had made.
during the night, one attempt after another to
get away and go to bed; but the bulldog had
done his duty so successfully as to prevent
their departure, and there was nothing else to
do through all the long watches of the night
but to return to their cues and billiard table.

Death in the Well.

Raleigh, N. c., special says: sour COM
munity is considerably exercised over the sick
ness of many persons which is attributed to
the effect of water drunk from an old well at
Milburnie, on the Neuse river, about miles
from the city. About two weeks since a party
OF young ladies and gentlemen attended q
picnic at the locality named and during the
evening drank freely from the well situated
near the river. Since that time twenty-four
out of twenty-six of the party have been sick
and four of them have died. In each
case they were attacked with nausea and vio-
lent purging, accompanied with high fever.
Some of them are now very i'll and the disease
seems to have assumed a typhoid form. On
Saturday last DIR. Battle. the state chemist
procured bottle of the water, which is now
being analysed, and the result will be an
nounced in day 80. In the meantime the
well is being filled up.

THE AMERICAN PEOPLE
A More Completely United Body Than
the Inhabitants of the Central Kingdom.

From the Edinburgh Review.
No state of the Union is q nation, though
several states exceed European nations both in
size and population, the state of New York, for
example, being both larger and more popu-
lous than the whole of Switzerland; and no
state represents historical nationality.
Hence the experience of America, it may be
observed, throws no light ON the possibility
of using federalism and local autonomy as
convenient methods either for recognizing
and giving free scope to the sentiment Of
nationality which may exist in any part Of
IN empire, or for meeting the need for local
institutions and distinct legislation which
may arise from differences between such part
and the rest of the empire" The states looked
at as a whole, make up the United States, but
the United States are nothing but the political
form into which circumstances have nodded
the constitution Of q single nation. The
Americans are as much one people as the
French or the Italians; they form a more COM
pletely united body than do the inhabitants Of
the United Kingdom. The men you meet at
New York differ less from the men you meet
at Chicago than Londoners from the citizens
of Edinburgh or than both from the citizens of
Cork. The difference, indeed, between whites
and blacks is of course fundamental, but the
aim Of the negro is to initiate to the best Of his
power the ordinary American citizen, and
tnere does not exist at present and, as lar as
one dare prophesy anything, there is not much
likelihood there will exist in the union any
thing like negrosnationality. Meanwhile-and
this is of primary importance-the division into
states does not correspond with differences of
religious creed. An Englishman who goes
from London to Edinburgh enters into new
moral atmosphere. Who can pass a month in
Scotland without hearing of the differences
which divide the Free church from the Estab-
ishment? What sane man living in England
Al IL n
Roman Catholic citizen of Ticino is different
man from the German Roman Catholic of Luz
cerne. Each differs from the German Protest
ant of Berne or the French Protestant of Gen.
eva A citizen of the United States is an Amer
lean. He is not Californian or New
Yorker

NEW THINGS IN PHOTOGRAPHY.
It Is Quicker and Keener Than the
Eye-Lightning Work Of the Camera.

J. Wells Chsmpney, in Harper's for August.
And now photography is not only used Tor
mapping out the known heavens, but the
camera reveals to us the presence Of stars
which the human eye has not seen. For many
years Miss Maria Mitchell and her assistants
have photographed the ever-changing sun spots.
Astronomers from all over the world have
met in Paris and arranged plan for using
photography to obtain picture Of the entire
heavens. Cameras will be set up in numbers
Of observatories in many countries, and many
negatives made of the entire contents Of the
universe. 1t is proposed to catalogue two mil
lions of the brightest stars and note their posi-
ton with great precision, as until such maps
exists many other astronomical problems can
not be solved We know, for instance, that our
sun with its planetary system is voyagiDg
through space. These charts will help de-
teruine the route and circumstances OF the
journey.
In war photography has been used since the
English made pictures In the Crimea. Balloon
photography has become quite an art. Bal
looms are said to be perfectly safe from rife or
artillery fire il 700 yards above the ground.
Electricity is made to play its part in exposing
the plate in the camera attached to the balloon.
During the Franco-Prussian war and the siege
OF Paris small Photographic copies of valuable
documents and daily papers were made and
rolled into quilts, which were fastened to car
rier-pigeons, and thus taken to their destina-
ton without the lines
The Eiffel Tower in Paris has been offered
Prof. Marcy to enable him to make studies in
photography Of birds in fight, and very in
structive results are anticipated
Many will remember the picture of the ex-
pertinent at Willett's Point when the donkey's
head was blown off by the use of dynamite, but
the picture was taken before the body fell.
Both In our army and navy Photographic out
fits are furnished, and some Of our officers have
become very expert. Photography may be ap-
piled to surveying, as Lieut.. Reed of the
United States army has described. 1t may also
serve for studies In meteorology. Photograph
ing rihe-bullets and cannon-balls in motion has
become an everyday matter, but a novel ex-
pertinent is said to have been made not long
since in Berlin by Prof Treason, who arranged
within cannon-ball sort of camera which
recorded the character of its fight. A tiny
pin-hole admitted light, and sensitive plate
within the ball recorded the twists and turns
of the projectile in its passage through the air.
The gun was fired point-blank at the sun,
which sent beam upon the plate, recording
itself as point, but as the ball swerved more
away from the sun a spiral line was formed and
marked upon the plate.

Read the Right Books.

Prom the New York Christian Advocate
Any one who will consider the interests
and dangers of the young people with whom
he comes in contact in his daily pursuits will
md opportunity to give turn to their
thoughts which may lead many of them away
from destruction and some Of them up to dis
Junction. A librarian in New York city some
time ago noticed one youth reading novels at
the rate OF one day, apparently having no
other occupation In a casual conversation he
learned that the boy was interested in art and
called his attention to a number of books on
that subject and loaned him Philip Gilbert
Hamitons works on copying. One result of
TINS was that the young man discovered a
talent OF which he never knew himself to be
The possessor. and soon secured a place in an
art establishment. Hundreds of young people
are devouring worthless literature and ne
siecfng books which would help them amaz-
ingiy SIMPLY because no one points out to them
q better way. No one inquiries into their need
and shows them the right book.

WRECKED IN THE ARCTIC.
Story Of the Loss Of the Whaler Ohio
Twenty-Five Perished.

The steamer Dora, from Seal islands, Alaska,
has brought to San Francisco, Cal, two sur
vivors of the whaling bark Little Ohio, from
New Bedford, which was wrecked of Point
Hope, Alaska, October 8, 1888. The details Of
the wreck are now learned for the first time.
Lisburne was sighted on the morning Of Octo-
Der 5. The day was windy, and toward evening
one OF the worst storms ever experienced in
that region came up. About Q o'clock the bark
struck near Point Hope, but a. the air was
dense with fine snow it was at first thought an
iceberg had been struck. The vessel seemed
70 be rapidly going to pieces, and Capt. George
7. Allen ordered the first mate to cut away the
masts. This was the last order given by the
captain, as he was never seen again, the heavy
sea carrying him overheard
The Ohio broke up rapidly, and the seas
were % strong it was impossible for the men,
who were nearly frozen to death, to keep their
hold on the masts and rigging, and they were
thrown to the mercy Of the roaring waters,
Altogether there were thirty-three men on
board, and but eight now survive. Most of the
men were frozen so stiff they could not keep
themselves above the water and persisted be-
fore the vessel went to pieces.
Alexander Omey gave up hope while on the
vessel and killed himself with his pistol. The
first mate, Thomas +. Pease, and second mate,
Thos. II. Miles, were so badly frozen that they
killed by the debris of the wreck while attempt
ing to crawl upon the beach. October 10 the
third mate, Manuel Lopez, and the fourth mate,
Jos. Enos, with their sailors, put of to intercept
passing whaling bark, and the natives say they
saw the boat capsize, and all were drowned.

Mr.. Garrett Entirely Recovered.

From the Baltimore American.
The visit of MIR. Robert Garrett to Bar Har-
Dor has had most wonderful effect on his
health. When he left Baltimore he was in bet
ter health than for many months, but the sea
air Of the Maine resort has further aided him
30 much that he is now able to conduct per-
sOnally his own business and enter into it with
his old-time zeal and ability. His health is
now such that arrangements are being made
to open his home on Mount Vernon place. in
this city. SO as to be ready for his occupancy
this fall and winter. Mr.. Garrett will resume
his business connections On his return to the
city. Friends who have seen Mr.. Garrett are
struck with the great change for the better in
him and are delighted thereat. He reads the
newspapers daily and is well posted on matters
Of the day, and, besides, conducts his own cor
respondence- he has not done for
months.
