o. A. Mailer wound up the business
as rapidly as the legal formslisies would
permit, because be was deeply ashamed
OF being before this particular bar. If
he would but consider that the real
shsmefulness of his conduct was IN
standing before the other bar, there
would be hope for him. The whiskey
bar causes the shame; the bar Of the
court only. exposes it. The defendant
paid his $3.50 and disappeared as rap
idly as he could.
Jerome Lee is the employer of James
Patter son, and paid James fine for
him, III the hope that he would not get
drunk again.
The deaf-mute vagrant named Frank
Potter is in luck, because there are no
stones TO break. The stones broken at
the jail are usually taken out of the
bed of the river; but the water IS too
high now TO reach them. Potter was
sentenced for ten days at hard labor,
and If the sheriff wants TO see the sem

Dummy.
If the TELEGRAM-HERALp were n
criminal court, 1t would ask A. Wood
where he spends his money now. A
long time ago, Wood had money
enough 10 get drunk. but he has not
since accumulated enough 10 pay his
fine. So His Honor adjourned" the
case till the 30th.
You needn't read this. Ii is nobody

really want to look MIN over, You can
turn back to the files of this paper, or
come around again the 23d inst.
Here is George II. Brown IN duplicate
again. Nobody pretends there is any
substantial testimony against him, but
sistentlv as if he had been taking a n
overdose of laudanum. Browns two
saloon cases will be up again tomorrow.
The celebrated DR.. Brownson said
that property is communion with God
through the material world" IL any
should doubt or misapprehend. this, its
opposite will scarcely be doubted, viz.
"Appropriating the property of others
is communion with Satan through the
material world" The downcast look
Of Daniel Culver, when arraigned on
the charge of small larceny at the
Vendome shows that his shame is very
deep. If the theft should be proved
against him, and so he be found to be
in communion with the Prince OF Evil,
he is still young enough TO change his
mode of life. He Will be tried tomor
row.
Red-headed people are born so, and
have temperaments of their own, and
are as much in need of early discipline
as anybody. John Alden Is q red
headed youth of IS, and speaks only
German. He lives next door to Andrew
Koch, on Second-st. These neighbors
have been at loggerheads for some
time over a trivial matter, and on
Monday the business eliminated III an
assault and battery committed by the
red headed boy against the person OF
Koch. The latter exhibited a bruise on
the forehead, and SAID that Alden had
beaten him badly. Alden admitted
through Interpreter Friedrich. that he
first pushed Koch. The court said that
this was technical assault. and fined

acting strangely, and was taken to
headquarters. lie gave his name as
T. A. Thomas, and said that by Occu-
patton be was a barber and boiler
maker. He SAID ne had been married
three times, but the last woman was
not his wife. He thought 1t a
remarkable coincidence that the
woman he is living with bears a
remarkable resemblance to the Ida
Wright who died in jail the other day.
He dwelt upon this fact with much en-
phasis. and thought that any one but
himself would not be able 10 distinguish
the two women. Now the fact IS that
Thomas nome is wholly deserted and
empty. and there - no woman there,
for Is reputed wife Is none other than
the Ida Wright who died IN jail OF

dread tormentor. His malady has not
yet reached the snake stage. but his
hallucInstions are very ridiculous
Doubtless the death of Ida Wright un-

FASTENED the elimination Of vista

brought on sooner or later.
