The case of the state Of Kansas against
Joe Henry was tried in the district court
Yesterday NJ. A. J. Stanley Was the
prosecuting witness Mr.. S. claimed that
the defendant Joe Henry, horse trader,
had assisted another man in beating him
in horse trade. Henry, who is also well
known in this county, having resided here
for twenty years. states that he had moth
ing whatever to do with the trade; that he
had met a fellow horsetrader whom he
had met in the territory some time before,
and was conversing with him at the time
that Mr. Stanley got the impression, it
seems, that Henry had assisted the other
man.
The man escaped arrest, but Henry liv-
ing here, was easily found and arrested.
Senator Bentley represented Henry's in
terests in the trial before the jury, who re-
turned a verdict acquitting him of
the charge preferred against him.

To Protect His Wares.

A peculiar thing about the sale OF
newspapers in New York and other large
American cities is the perfect trust the
newsman reposes in the public. More
often than not when you pick up paper
from a stand the owner will be out of
sight, aud if you have not the exact
amount there are always enough pennies
left on the stand to make your own
change. This goes to prove that the
newsdealer is privileged character, and
Is not regarded as legitimate prey by the
sneak thief, for no other Vender could
take such risks without being robbed
continually. In Paris the newsman does
DOT conduct his business in this simple
way on the contrary, he has had to in
vent ingenious methods to dispose of his
stock. All the trains and omnibuses
there have seats on top. These are for
second-class passengers, and are half the
price of those inside. AS the vendors
are not allowed to enter the omnibuses
they carry their stock on long poles, the
papers being on wires, on the principle
of the letter-rack. On the top of the
pole is attached little cup. The vender
pokes his stock in the faces of the pas
sengers. who select the papers they wish
and put the money into the cup.

Rubber. Ma king.

In countries where the climate is
balmy, everything conspires to breed n
dolencs in mankind. Food grows wild,
a house is rarely needed and clothing is
mere apology for civilized raiment. In
rubbermaking, for instance, nature does
its own planting, cultivating, every thing
save the gathering, and comes very
nearly doing that, as it needs only the
stroke of the machete to set the gum
tricHling. The crop is a heavy one.
Twenty Indians will make forty thous-
and pounds of rubber in a season. a
days work for an Indian is path Of
one or two miles long in the forest. In
this path he will probably find one hum
bred and fifty suitable trees, which, one
after another, he taps, dexterously cut.
ting so as not to penetrate beyond the
bark. To go through the bark and not
touch the wood gives the best results,
and Indian skill is intuitively cultivated
to this end.
Several hours after tapping, he collects
the sap, and then comes the smoking
process, by which the white, milky sub
stance is converted into fine, tough In.
dia rubber. The quality depends upon
the care in making and the conditions in
gathering. Fine Para should have nc
,umps in it,
