Bullet Through His Body.

Last Thursday afternoon word
reached here that RUDE Metcalf, of
Silver City, had shot himself with
intent to commit suicide. The par
ticulars of the case are as follows:
Metcalf, who for some time past has
been tending bar for w. T. Cuddy,
was playing poker Wednesday night
and was ahead of the game. The
game ran all night, but Metcalf
quit for a time and waited on the
bar. He took several drinks and
again sought to sit in the game. The
other players objected, and Metcalf
feeling aggrieved and respondent,
went behind the bar, took from be-
meath it his double acting Colts re-
volver and shot himself in the left
side. Several parties in the saloon
witnessed the act, and Metcalf was
Immediately taken to his room and
doctor sent for. The act was done
about 1880 A. M. Doctor Manson
arrived, and probing for the ball
found that it had gone nearly
through the body and lodged under
the muscle near the backbone. 1t
was cut out, and the wound dressed.
Metcalf did not complain of much
pain. The ball entered the left
side about two inches below the
heart and passed through the lower
part of the left lung the DR.. thinks.
He is of the opinion that the wound
will not prove fatal,
Mr.. Metcalf is an old resident of
Silver City, well and favorably
known, and his many friends hope
for his speedy recovery.

Regular Quarterly Meeting, Business
Transacted, Etc.


The Board of County Commits
sioners held its regular quarterly
meeting on the 4th; present Theo.
Vinson, Chairman; w. II. Spragg
and Geo. E. Jaqua, Commissioners;
Henry Wood, Clerk.
The minutes Of previous meeting
were read and approved.
The bills allowed will be found
in another column.
Board made an order transferring
$415. % from General to Officers Sal
airy Fund.
The reports of the several county
officers were received, examined
and ordered filed.
The bonds of the several County
and Township officers were over
hauled and found to be good and
sufficient with the exception of a
shortage of $4,000 in the bond of
the County Treasurer, caused by
the death of Cyrus Smith. Mr..
Huntoon was requested to furnish
an additional bond of that amount.
There being vacancy in the Of
flee of the Justice of the Peace of
Greenfield Township, caused by the
death of J. J. Webster, the Board
appointed J. S. Craig to fill said
vacancy, and requested him to file
the usual bond of $1,000.
Mr.. J. E. Gignoux appeared be-
fore the Board at a request of one
of the Commissioners, in regard to
instructions in the roads in Mason
Valley. Quite an animated discus
sion took place in regard to piece
of road that the Mickey Ditch Co.
had appropriated for ditch purpos-
es. Commissioner Spragg, who is
! President of the Ditch Co., held
that the company had a right to
take in the road because it had
built another road around the piece
appropriated that was just as good
as the old road Mr.. Gignonx said
this was not fact, and explained
that large teams could not haul
over the new road. He was backed
by a good sized petition from the
people who use the road most AT
ter considerable discussion it was
decided that the Commissioners
should visit the premises and see
what could best be done to satisfy
all parties interested.
A communication from Jas. G.
Smart, of Mason Valley, complain
ing that the road between his place
and Greenfield was almost impass-
able owing to water being run into
it from the Fox ditch. The Clerk
was instructed TO ordered the own
ers Of the ditch to desist from OBJ
structing the said road, or legal
steps will be taken TO enforce the
road rights.
The report of the road appraisers
on road to be opened through the
land Of Houston, Lancaster, ct al,
was received and accepted. The
appraisers awarded J. NJ. Houston
damages to the amount of $40.
The road is to be opened as soon as
deeds to the right of way are given
to the county.
The money in the treasury was
counted and found to agree with
the Auditors and Treasurer's joint
quarterly report-$2S, 57z35.
A list of 1873 trial jurors was Sc
lected.
The Board then adjourned until

The Old Sanitariaa Talks About His
Wonderful Discoveries and His own
nestre for n m ORce

Wonderful Discoveries and His own
Desire for an ONCE.
Tothe Editor Of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
Nothing shows the superiority of Sani-
tarians over other physicians more than
the way they respectively regard the grip.
The common physician unblushingly ad-
mits his ignorance of the essential nature
of that unsanitary pestilence and appears
fully contented to treat its symptoms on
general principles without further investi-
cation. Not SO the Scientific Sanitsrian.
He knows all about the grip and is eager
to grab the bacillus which creates it by the
hind leg and shake its life out.
In war times the soldiers used to sing a
favorite refr-in:
.aThe grasshopper sat on sweet potato vine;
On sweet potato vine.
And the turkey -buzzard he came up behind;
He came up behind;
And he yanked him of the sweet potato vino. "
What the buzzsrd did to the grasshop-
per is just what the sanitarians want to do
with the microbes. And my deep studies
as to the best way to perform this gym
nastic feat have led to surprising results.
With my double concave, duplex and
quadrilateral microscope, known only to
sanitary scientists and which msgnifea
90, 600 diametres, have found the micro.
organism which causes the grip. It is q
little triangular wretch, only $4,000 part
of an inch in length. But, as my marvel
lous microscope makes flea look larger
| than our-year-old steer, have been
able to study it's habits carefully.
It enters the human system by alightinf
on the conjunction of tho left eye. Tn,

Woman has varied powers. Miss Estelle
Gardiner of New York has challenged Miss
Ada Crawford of Philadelphia to stamp

or else who can lick certain number in the

can. with the aid of her tongue, stick 8, 900
stamps on envelopes in one hour, and can
keep this up for hours at a time. Miss
Gardiner, it is said, can afix seventy five
stamps to seventy-fye envelopes in one
minute.
A good-sized bit of fun is tickling the
inhabitants of Minersville, Pennsylvania.
The other day twin boys arrived in the
Beck household and Mrs. Beck, who SYM
pathizes with the party in power, wanted
to christen the babies James g. Blaine and
Benjamin Harrison. Mr.. Beck demurred,
as he is a Democrat, and a compromise
was effected by substituting Grover Cleve-
land for Benjamin Harrison. After this
was settled Beck went out to announce
the victory of his scheme and buy a gift
for his fsvorite son. He spent go much
time whooping it up with the boys that
he could not tell the babies apart when
he got home, then his wife mixed them
up 20 that he could not distinguish one
from the other even when he sobered up,
and the gift he brought home for Grover
he is still unable to bestow.
Journalism is Persia is a unique affair.
During the last visit of the Shah to Europe
nothing impressed him more, according
to Persian reports, than the devotion of
Parisian csbmen to their morning papers.
This devotion, it is said, led him to sstab-
lish a Ministry of the Press upon his re-
turn to his dominions, and to place at its
head Nohammed Dovbet, the Persian his
torian. Under his sway, ten newspapers
have been established. "The STAR "The
Lion" and ''The Iran" give up their space
entirely to news from the interior parts
of Persia. Each article or dispatch, how
ever, invariably begins with the following
words: "Thanks to the care and justice
exercised by the Governor in this Province,
the country is in fortunate condition,
and the people, who pray continually for
His Majesty, are happy" After that fiat
tering introduction, which does honor to
the Persian censor, the narration of the
particular incident follows

THE UNwORTHY POOR.

THE UNWORTHY POOR.
People who are thrifty and lucky do not
see why other people should be poor, and
it is fact, we suppose, that much of the
poverty which we always have with us is
avoidable. An interesting and careful in
quiry has been made into the causes of the
poverty of one hundred and ffty-two fam
lilies in a certain district of London con-
tanning a population of 5000. These
families presented wide variety in trade
and religion and nationality, and their ap-
plication for charitable assistance was
taken as prima faeie and confessed evi-
dence of poverty. Investigation showed
that forty two families were brought to
want by their own fault, the causes
of their property being set down as creek
less improvidence ''crime," drink" !"
"idleness," "bad temper" etc. Then
come ffty-three families whose poverty was
due to certain common accidents or mis-
fortunes which might have been provided
against, but were not. The final group of
fifty-seven families presents cases of ex-
SuS"OAo poFCAoy, buCA % suonO ouo " GA
traordinary slackness of trade or the abso-
Lutte destruction of some branch of bust
ness, though even in this group appear
twenty-one families who are made hope
lessly poor by Incompetence"
The unworthy poor are undoubtedly nu-
merous and clamorous. They do not hes
itate to get what they can from the chari-
tably disposed, and they get great deal.
The performances of the unworthy poor
in Hartford which were recently set forth
were striking illustration of the way 80
ciety is and has been imposed upon by
those who are too poor to work. There
are many such in every city, and they
manage, in one way or another, to work
their schemes. The situation is, however,
better understood than it has been, and it
will not be as easy as it was for the un-
worthy poor to get what belongs to the
worthy poor.
