The Vegetable Cook at Green's Regains
Her Voice in Fit of Anger.


The Philadelphia Times says: The
vegetable cook at Green's hotel, whose
name is Mary Murphy, has been dumb
for three years, but Tuesday being
aroused to Il fit of intense anger by the
impudence of colored waiter named
Joe Todd, she suddenly recovered her
speech
Miss Murpy is buxom Irish girl,
about 25 years of age, and she has been
a prominent official in Green's kitchen
for several years. Three years ago She
suffered from bad bronchial attack and
completely lost her voice. She was
known by her co-laborers as ''Speak
easy Mary" and she was much sought
after as wife by eligible bachelors on
account Of her really valuable impede
ment--she could not talk back.
She was pursuing her avocations
when Todd came into the kitchen and
told the empress of the vegetable de-
partment that the potatoes were not half
cooked and that the guests in the dining
room had sent them back in disgust
The colored gentleman also made some
rude remarks about Miss Murphy's ma
tionality, knowing that she could not
reply. But the girls Celtic blood was
aroused, she turned on her abuser and
brandishing her fork, she gave him
piece Of her mind in fine old Celtic.
All the employees in the kitchen were
astounded to hear the autocrat Of the
vegetables speak, and then the miracle
was understood. What the doctors for
years had failed to do rage had achieved.
The girls hot blood at the sneers of the
colored gentleman had loosened her
tongue, and she could speak once more
after long silence. There was much
rejoicing over the event and a festival
was extemporized. Miss Murphy, in her
joy, took back all the cruel things she
said to Mr. Todd, and everybody was
happy and joyful.

A special dispatch from Clayton to

II is understood, however, that Mr..

Delaware is Entitled to $50, 332-- Obtain

the Treasury.
The passing of the Direct Tax bill by
Congress, Tuesday, involving the re-
payment of over $15,000,000 to the
various states on account of sums raised
4 by them on the request of the United
States government for the prosecution
of the war of 1861, covers an amount Of
| $70,332 to be repaid to Delaware. This
sum was collected upon individual in
| come and upon personal effects.
The money, it is understood, is avail
able upon resolutions passed by the
state legislature at the present session,
and such resolutions and certifying
documents being sent to the treasury
| department, when the amount will be
deposited in the State Golfers.
The general impression is however
that the money not having been paid by
the State but directly by private indi-
Vlduals it should be returned to them or
their representatives and not be placed
in the general treasury for generl State
purposes.
Numbers Of Wilmingtonians remem-
Der the time OF the imposition of this
tax, Many protested against it as I'M
constitutional. The plea was that the
United States government has no right
to levy direct tax and that that is a
species of tax belonging to the State
government alone.
Something very much like martial
law existed here at the time and the
professors soon found that it was safer
for them to hold their tongues and pay
what the collectors asked.
An exact assessment was made of
citizens personal effects, iewelry, house
furniture, income, &c. This had to be
sworn to if the collector required.

JOINT DISCUSSION.

It is matter of common note that
in all the discussions now being held
in various parts of the state, Repub-
lican champions invariably wipe up
the earth with their opponents the
specials to tho Capital being accept
ed as authority, Even the discus
sions with Mr.. Utley are not an ex-
ception. Everyone who knows Mr..
Utley knows very well that the Re-
publican party has no man in the
state who is capable Of meeting him.
In these matters the deliberate judg-
ment of the people has nothing to do
with the character Of the reports.
The Capital has its hired emissaries
who are fully instructed in advance
what kind Of a report shall be made,
and any other kind would cost the
correspondent his situation and lose
him the favor Of the bosses.

STILL ANOTHER CONVERT.


1t affords us pleasure this week to
welcome to the ranks of our reform
press the Courtlsnd Register, of Re-
public county. This has formerly
been Republican paper, but as will
appear from the following official an
nouncement it will be Republican no
longer. Verify the Peoples party
";s dying outs" it is "breaking up"
Former Republicans "are getting dis
gusted with it and returning to the
old party" This is the way they are
returning.
With this issue of the Register the manage
ment Of the same changes; It's political stand Is
no longer on the side Of that party that has failed
to keep its pledges to laboring classes, but on
the opposite has favored such measures as
would and have oppressed the agricultural and
labOring interests all over our country; we ceme
to the front this week In support OF that party
that has for its key note "equal rights to all,
and special privileges to none," Of that party
that places on It's ticket the representative farm
ers Of our county seat and not the political
Schemer whose only ambition Is Office; Of that
party that fearleSSly comes forward and advo.
Gates such measures as are In the interests Of
the nations poor. We come before our readers
ln the interests Of that organization, the In.
fluenceS aad teachings Of which has led our la
h0PiNw IN hl0haH FNlO ~ a1u
LIE and have prepared the way for the victory on
the side OF the right In '92; Of that organization
which Is striving to unite the north and south In
Une grand effort against those who are and have
been draining the west and south of its rightful
share Of this worlds goods, and plunging our
country into bankruptcy and ruin. From hence
forth we are going on record In favor Of the
right and against that which Is wrong and In
this we believe we are In line with the Peoples
party and the teachings and principles Of the
Alliance. Il shall be our purpose to work In the
interests of COurtland and her people and the
cause Of right wherever we may find it coping
with the wrong, and In conclusion we ask the
support and cooperation of all who have our
nations welfare at heart.
As an evidence Of the prosperity Of
Republican journalism we note the
recent employment of plate market
reports together with much other
plate matter in the Topeka Capital
The Capital talks very glibly about
the loss of patronage of Peoples
party papers, while renewed evidences
Of economy appear from day to day
in its own columua AS might be ex-
pected also the economy practiced is
of a character to effect the home
labor employed. Such straws speak
with more convincing force than It's
windy editorials

the Homer Press for 800, 900 damages,
tonight brought in a verdict giving Dom

fees. The trial has been probably the
most famous IN the legal annals of the
Northwest. Ignatius Donnelly sued the

ages on account of the republication of a
letter from Col. King, formerly post.
master OF the house OF representatives,
first published in the Pioneer Press eleven
years previously. 1t was on account of
allegations of bribery made in the letter
that Donnelly brought the suit. The
jury was out three hours and at one time
stood eleven to one in favor Of the Pc
neer Press. but in view of the fact that
one instance Of alleged bribery in congress
could not be proved owing to the death oil
a witness, they returned the verdict
stated, making the damages purely nomi
nal, solely on account of the single failure
of proof.

Did you yer wonder why it is that
ice, being formed of CONCEALED water,
floats? And why, on some still lakes, it
begins to form at the bottom before it
does on the surface? Scientists explain
these enigmas this wise: Ice is specifcal-
ly lighter than water just about to
freeze, and therefore floats in it. This
is n reason why the formation of ice
usually begins at the surface.
Another is its peculiar law of expan-
sion. The general law is that cold in
duces expansion; this law holds good
with water only to a certain point.
When water has cooled down to within
IA degs. of freezing it ceases to contract
as before with increase Of cold and be.
gins to expand till it freezes.
This expansion causes the colder Dor.
tons of the water to rise to the surface.
The formation of ground ice" OF
anchor ice," as it is sometimes called,
is the only exception to the rule given
above.-St. Louis Republic.

GAINESVILLE, Tex, Oct. 24.-The
sub treasury party of Montague county
Yesterday passed some remarkable resolu-
tons. They demand that congress pass
a bill to provide hat any person who
owes more money than he can pay and
makes affidavit to that effect shall receive
from the secretary of the interior sufi-
cient money to pay all his debts. ANY
person owing nothing, but who wants
more money than he says he has good
chance OF obtaining because of the pre-
vailing financial system of robbery and
oppression, may make application to the
secretary, who shall refer the matter to
an advisory board, to fix the amount to
be advanced. In no case shall he receive
less than three quarters of the sum an
piled for, nor be charged a higher interest
than he is willing to pay. In case of fall
ure to repay the loan the borrower shall
not receive more than so per cent on the
next application. Any man making mis-
representations shall be debarred from
borrowing more than twice.
