The indemnify wns Paid.

oI remember n friend Of mine" said
Squire johnson to the delegate, who con-
si'lered himself funny. He went to a
prominent jeweler on Fourth street, and
purchased a watch for $50, receiving a writ
ten guarantee that the watch would keep
good time for year If the watch failed
the purchase money was 70 be refunded.
Well. my aiend was called TO Europe soon
after that. hnd spent several months trav-
cling about,yariOus parts Of the earth, and
it happenedS that he returned to Cincin-
natl on the yery day the guarantee on his
watch expired. Asking me to accompany
him, we went to the jewelry store, and
calling out the proprietor my friend laid
down the guarantee which the jeweler
read and then expressed himself ready to
fulfill his contract. The watch was placed
upon the counter, and was found 20 be
last one half minute too fast.
.sphe ieweler placed it carefully in d
drawer and going TO his safe counted out
five crisp ten dollar bills and passed them
to my fri md with a smile. Yes, but
don't want the money, he stammered;
give me back my watch. It was only
meant as a little pleasantly I have com
piled with my contract, replied the jew
eler. and I only meant a little business.
'Bnt | must have that watch said the
thoroughly disconnected funny man..
We'll, replied the ieweler, proceeding with
his work, I consider a watch that varies
only one half Of minute in year worth
more than SO. will sell you the watch
Tor siO0. SO chagrined that he hardly
knew what he was doing, my facetious
friend paid over the 500 and pocketed the
watch. when you need another good
watch give me a call, said the jeweler
merrily as we took our departure. Well,
do you know, have never heard Of that
fellow doing a funny thing since Gin

Some interesting results were obtained
from the archaeological explorations car
ried on in the Crimea during last sum
mer. Professor Vesselovski found paint
ea human bones in two graves-six sl1el-
etons in one grave and one in another.
The wei known archeoiogist Professor
Grcmpler, Of Breslau. who was present
last wear at the congress Of arch@olo-
gists at Moscow, Is Of opinion that these
graves belonged to the original inhabi-
fants Of tho Crimea, the Cimmerians Of
Herodotus. It was a usage with them
to lay their dead on elevated spots so
that the birds might consume the flesh.
When quite bleached they painted the
skeletons with some mineral pigment.
Graves scontainings gsuch painted skeletons
have been found in Central Asia, but
only in a few instances. Only three such
graves had been previously found in the
Criiaea. Professor Grempier proposes to
take the skeletons with him to Paris.

THE following Berlin cable, depicts
narrowing tale of misery among the
working people Of Germany: The arm
ing of the police with carbines, which
virtually converts them into regular
army of the soldiers, is due to the ap-
prehension felt by the authorities that
the winter will be attended by great
suffering among the poor, and perhaps
by consequent disturbances. Berlin is
thronged with strangers seeking en-
ployment. These include large num-
bers OF Russian and Polish Jews. Ger
mans and others who have joined in the
heglra from Russia. There Is not work
enough for the resident population, and
numbers of the new Corners are going
about the streets begging The farm
colonies are thronged with destitute
persons, sent there by the authorities,
and yet there seems to be no d1minu.

LANDLORDS In AMERICA.

It seems Incredible that in this coun-
try, where farming lands can be secured
on easy terms, thai farmers must Gull
tivate land he does not own. Yet such
is the case. The census Of 1880 showed
that there were then 1922, 601 tenant
farmers. When new land came to be
largely taken up and good land became
dear, capitalists sought as an investment
class of property that was rising in
value, and the owners of large and we'll
situated estates found it most profitable
to split them up into single farms and
lease the land to working agrlculturists
who could no longer hope to become
owners themselves. These capitalists
proprietors, through their influence with
the Legislature, procured laws to be
passed to protect them from loss. In
the whole history Of constitutional gov
eminent there is no instance Of more
one. sided legislation than the laws
regulating the relation Of owners and
tenants il some Of the Western states.
The simple and brutal processes for the
collection OF rent take us back TO Irish
landlordism ID ireland.

CASE,

The Jury in the Donnelly. Pioneer
Press libel suit reached decision last
Saturday, and gave Mr.. Donneily one
dollar damages. The verdict is pecu-
liar one, but then juries nowadays are
noted for their astonishing eccentrlcl-
ties. That Mr.. Donnelly had good
case from the beginning vas quite ap-
parent, though the verdict is hardly in
accordance with this fact. If the Pho
neer Press hbeled Mr.. Donnelly-and
the jury said it did-that gentleman was
entitled to reasonable damages, some
thing. surely within the bounds OF JUS
tice and in accordance with it's findings.
Generally speaking, there seems to
be something wrong in the jury system
of America to-day. Many there are who
believe that it has lost that moral
standard that characterized it at it's in
oeption and that it should either be re-
formed or abolished entirely.
However, the verdict given last Sat"
nrday, will teach the Pioneer Press to
be more wary in its utterances concern
ing mems characters.

when setting down to eat, no other drink
