SHOULD BE SATISFIED.
The Supreme Court Thinks an Alleged
Murderer Got on Easily Enough.

Murderer Got on Easily Enough.
The following Supreme Court opinion
was filed IN the office of J. S. Williams
Clerk of the Sacramento District, yester.
day:
People vs. McNabb, Yuba county case
Appellant was tried on a charge of murder
and convicted of manslaughter. He ap-
peals from the judgment, and his conten-
ton here is that the Court erred in its
charge to the jury. The alleged error con-
sists in the reading by the Court of the
opinion of this Court in the case of the
People VS.. Mum (65 Cal, 2ll), and stat
ing to the jury that that case was in many
respects like the one at bar"
In this case the Supreme Court recites
that the appellant may have been benefited
and not prejudiced by it. In the absence
of the evidence it cannot be determined
which was benefited. and therefore the
judgment cannot be reversed. Judgment
is accordingly affirmed.

Shotgun Marauders.

On Sunday afternoon two men, armed
with shotguns, drove up to the saloon at
Oak Park, kept by Mr.. Moer Tor Mohr),
and went out into the arbor in the rear,
where they sat down. Presently the re-
port of gun was heard, and on investiga-
ting the cause the proprietor discovered
that his dog. had been shot by one of the
men. He undertook to demonstrate with
them, when they leveled their shotguns at
him, cursed him and then got into their
buggy and drove Off. Other parties rec
ognized the fellows, and it is likely they
will be arrested on two serious charges.

Useful Apes.

Professor Romanes has been teaching
chimpanzee in the London Geological
garden to count. She succeeded in
learning to obey the order to pick up
one, two or more straws accurately as
far as five. Above that number she was
generally accurate as far as seven,
though she sometimes made mistakes.
This learned chimpanzee understood
spoken language ''to a degree which is
fully equal to that presented by an in
tant a few months before emerging from
infancy" This, Professor Romanes SAYS,
is higher intelligence than is mani
tested by any other brute, so far as he
las been able to discover.
The ape was indeed almost able to ar
tlculate words. She had three distinct
sounds to express three different emo
lions. One kind Of grrnt meant yes,
another no, while third sound meant
to say ''thank YOU for gifts or favors.
AT times she sings a strange bowling
note, interrupted at regular intervals"
The creature manifests great docilitv
and affection for her keepers, who arc
very kind to her.
If civilized man inhabited the wilds in
which these animals are found, he would
long ago have had them trained to be
his slaves. Man subjugated to his SER
vice the horse, far stronger, less intel
lgent animal than the chimpanzee. So
why not the chimpanzee ana its fierce
cousin, the gorilla, which grows to
mans size in the wilds of western
African The negroes there have, indeed,
occasionally broken in the gorilla to
pluck cocoanuts and carry water for
them Why could they not be trained
TO systematic service? There is no sin
IN making slaves of gorillas and Chin
panzees. Their, is story that apes have
been trained tod, very useful work in to-
bacco fields.

Some Facts About Tea.

Tea came into use almost by accident.
Some Buddhist priests, going on mis-
sionary expedition from northern India
to China, took with them the dried
leaves and also some cuttings of an in
digenous shrub which was said to have
the power of correcting any injurious
properties in the brackish water they
might meet with on the way. The de-
coction thus made pleased the mission
aries so well that they continued, as a
matter of taste, to drink it after they
had reached China, and introduced it to
their converts. They also set about
planting the precious shrub, and although
it did not thrive so we'll in China as in its
native Assam, becoming smaller both in
stem and leaf, it was so well liked that
it soon formed the foundation of the
favorite beverage of all China. Thence
it was brought to Europe, to be drunk
and desired by Englishmen of every de-
gree. And it is only of late years that
Assam tea has come into the European
market, to be looked upon rather sus-
piciously as the rival of its own degen-

eled by two shots. This mean shot is
called by artillerists the "jubilee shot,"
Capt. ingalls, figures came within 166
yards of the jubilee shot, and within II
yards of one of the shots.
The altitude reached and the actual
distance Travelled by the shots are, how
ever, matters that directly interest the
public. The fact that the journey Of the
mean shot was ia miles and IS yards is
rather startling. The projectile also shot
upward into the air to a height of 81
miles. Shots can be safely fired from
ship at an angle of Is dogs. Suppose
we should quarrel with some Of the des-
potisms of Europe, and some fine morn
ing one of their ships should stop seven
or eight miles outside of New York or
Boston and begin to pepper those ports
with little $50 pound shots?

A Case of Mind Cure,

A correspondent of The Fairfield (Me.)
Journal gives the following instance of
mind cure in the early days of that
town: DR.. Thayer, who lived near what
was called the Back Meeting House, was
one of the best physicians in the county,
but his skill was no avail in the case of
his wife, who kept her bed for more
than two years. One day there was no
grown person about the house and her
little boy came running in, with a bad
cut on his finger or hand. bleeding pro-
fusely. With true motherly forgetful-
ness of self, she sprung up, found band
ages and properly dressed the wound;
then, sitting down to rest, she looked
around; everything seemed so pleasant
and she felt so nicely. she decided not to
take her bed again, and she did not.
She lived several years in the enjoyment
of comfortable health

STREET CAR MANNERS,
Dissertations Upon One or Two Common
Types of Boorishness.

Dissertations Upon One Two Common
Types of Boorishness.
One day last week a car on one Of the
Traction company's lines became pretty
we'll crowded with passengers, mostly
ladies, before its trip was half made. In
the corner next the rear door sat well
dressed lad of 16, evidently the son of
parents in good circumstances. Within
space of two squares three old men,
mono of whom were less than 10, one
nearly blind and all more or less Grip
pied, got in the car. Seats were fur
nished for two Of them by gentlemen
who stood, and gray haired lady gave
the third her seat. The boy never moved
or gave the. least Indication that he knew
or cared whether older or helpless people
were standing while he was comfortably
seated.
If this boorish and ill hammered boy
was the only one of his type it would be
hardly worth while to refer to the mat
ter; but, unfortunately, he is not. There
are hundreds and thousands like him.
In many cases, perhaps, these lads are
mere to be pitied than blamed. Any
one who witnessed the selfishness and
want of courtesy shown by the lad in
question recognized that defective home
training was at the root of his LII man

Birds and TELEGRAPH Wires

1t has been supposed that birds become
accustomed to the presence of telegraph
wires, and are careful to avoid them in
flying, but it would seem either that this
is mistake, or that the birds on the
Scotch and English moors are less intelli-
gent than their fellows. Systematic OBJ
servation there along a line of telegraph
wires has shown that great destruction
of bird life goes on throughout the year,
and that at certain seasons the roadside
is literally strewn with the remains of
unfortunate grouse, black game par
fridge, snipe and other birds. Every
morning at dawn maEauding bands Of
rocks come from the lowland woods
to feast on the dead and dying, and
the farmers and shepherds in the re-
gion declare that more grouse are killed
annually by the telegraph wires than by
all the sportsmen. Philadelphia Ledger.

The Book of Divorce.

Mr.. A. Parlett Lloyd has perlapsmade
it easier for his fellow countrymen to
settle their matrimonial woes. He has
gathered into one volume the divorce
laws of the different states and terri
tories and published them under the
name of ga Treatise on the Law of Di-
vorce." 1t is queer assortment. Causes
for divorce range from almost nothing
in one state to the gravest crimes in an
other. In Washington territory, Con-
necticut, Utah and Kentucky the
grounds for divorce are almost left to
the discretion of the judge, while in
South Carolina no divorce is granted at
all on any ground. From this book a
sufferer can find out on what plea he
may get divorce in the state in. which
he lives or elsewhere. Mr.. Parlett Lloyd
thinks the strange tumble of laws shows
the utter futility of attempting b pass
a general United States divorce law.
