fallen down before the liquor interest, and
the reduction OF the license fee from 500 to
$50 per quarter seems to bear them cut in
their assertions

Properties Of Stones.

Precious stones were formerly sup.

apart from any other considerations.
rendered them more or less valuable.
The reputed virtues Of some were of q
most miraculous nature. and happy in
deed the fortunate possessors of these
gems ought to have been.
Although popularity supposed to be
itself a deadly poison, the diamond has
from remote ages been credited with
the power Of protecting the wearer
rom the evil effects Of other poisons. a
reputation which it retained until com
paratively recent times. According to
Sliny it also keeps off insanity. Am
Der, too, was supposed to possess the
latter virtue.
Besides the diamond, several othei
stones were supposed to possess medic.
NAL virtues. The ruby was considered
good for arrangements Of the liver az
well as for bad eyes. The sapphire and
emerald were also credited with prop
critics which rendered them capable Of

this peculiar phenomenon to account

Three or four chatted amiably and gar
rulously with n another and paid nc
attention whatever to the reports of
the secretary or the mmen Of the
cashier. The president had a hacking
cough, and was so peevish that all the
employees Of the place were afraid of
him, and the board as a body paid so
little attention to the proceedings that
vote after vote was recorded without a
being raised.
The secretary would say, II take II
that the opinion of the board is in the
Affirmative" and then jot down that
the yeas had it. Many Of the directors
evidently did not know what he was
about. 1t occurred TO me then

Matters Before Judge Hughes.

The case of ]. Lewis Peyser who was
indicted for violating the United States
postal laws by using the mails for unlaw-
tul purposes, was before the United States

cused who was ignorant of the Law had no
intention of committing an offence against
the Government when he sent the letter
through the mails, and he suggested TO the
District Attorney to quash the indictment.
This was done and Peyser was discharged.
