CITY Notes.

The Jefferson Street railroad
crossing needs repairing.
Clean the city of all garbage and
the people will be happy.
Never before in the city's history
has the south end had such build
ing boom.
There has not been an arrest
made in the city for the past week.
Think of it, city of 600 and no
arrests for one whole week.
There have been just 1O3 mar
riage licences issued since Jan. l,
1890. Upon investigation We find
that the months OF January and
April are the best time to marry
according to the records kept by
Recorder T. T. Torreyson, and the
poorest month in the year is July.
Those who contemplate taking a
trip of this kind will please note
this fact. The number of divorces,
%, are SO diminutlve as compared
to that of marriages that who can
say marriage is q failure.

the city since April 1, 1890, a.e:

American Medica, students Abroad.

In regard to the medical education of American physicians compared with those of Europe, l have been struck forcibly by tho fact that our students seem to Es moro practical and better able to grasp and develop ideas tEan those of European countries. Especially in the operative courses. in Vienna. l have noticed that tho American students performed their work more neatly and thoroughly and with greater dispatch than the compara- lively slow going Continental members of the class. and that while those from this country had possibly had but three years course of study before graduation, yet they were more than the equals oe tho German students of six years stand ing, think this difference is due to the moro practical and thorough methods of teaching in vogue in thls country, and l believe it to be but question of time when. instead of us going to Europe. the continental physicians will be anxious to avail themselves of the facilities offered in tho United States.
 Tho present superiority of foreign over American medical institutions lies in the fact that all their expenses arc sustained by the government. but if there was 8 tendency on tho part of the wealthy 10 endov our schools, whatever doubt there ray Hc ns to conpararIve merit would soon be set at rest. Regarding surgery, ono of Von Eergmann's assistants, Il man known throughout tho world by his con- nection with the case of the crown prince, has told nc. in the course of conversa- tion, that he considered the American sur gcon ahead of tho world in ingenuity.

A Herse,s p.inerate Revenge.

"l will just tell you story. said Mir. Foster L. Backus. about the memory and reasoning power possessed by horse on my fathers farm This horse was iii the habit of making journeys about the neigh borhood in charge of certain groom. who was coarse, ignorant, low and cruel The horse had been brought up on our farm and was very good tempered and gentle, but the grooms roughness and fondness for laying on the whip confused him so much that he was not prompt in obeying orders sometimes Then the groom beat and bullied him The horse never showed the slightest sign of resentment till one day the groom approached him in ths pasture field The horse was free for the first time in the presence of his enemy and he charged the groom A short halter was around his neck. and thu groom seized tbe and hung on. The horse tried to strikehim with his forefeet; tried to bite and kick him. The man lodged and shouted for aid
 ''The fight was desperate and very ex- citing The horse fairly roared with rage. The groom was nearly faggecl out, and in another five minutes would have been knocked down and trampled to death. when my father came on the scene. He seized the halter and told the groom to run. As soon as be was gone tho horse subsided and was as dociIe Es ever. Now. am satisfied that the horse deliberately planned to kill that groom at the first favorable opportunity See how carefully he chose the time and place of the assault A lonely pasture field where he had his enemy all to himself He had never shown the faintest sign of vicious ness before. The groom kept away from him after that. and the horse never after ward was known to exhibit rage. If he had killed the groom it would have been murder in the first degree. for the element of deliberation was there Yes. sir: horses have reason. and they have memory also" Brooklyn Eagle.
