Ha Paid His Bet.


Speaking of strange bets on an cleo
tion," said Colonel Joe Rucker, Of Col.
orado, "the one that takes the ribbon
over any l have ever seen mentioned
was bet, lost and paid by an enthusiasts.
tic Greenbacker many years ago. One
of these enthusiasts at that time, whose
view of the political situation was seen
through the roseate hued spectacles Of a
reform organ, was certain that man
by the name of Brown would be elected
governor of Missouri, and bet every.
thing he had except the clothing on his
back and young wife. Either his af.
lection for his wife or his knowledge Of
law prevented his making wager Of
her, so as last bet he wagered his serv-
ices for a year against $500.
"Of course he lost, and borrowing a
few dollars from a friend he sent his
wife back to her folks in Missouri,
while he presented himself to the saloon
keeper in Denver with whom he had
made the bet. The latter, more as a
joke than anything else, grubstaked
him and sent him out to prospect. The
first month a small find rewarded his
labors, and cupidity then caused the sa-
loon keeper to insist on the payment of
the wager in full. To curtail the MARIA
tive, he carried out his wager of years
service scrupulously and located two
more mines, from which the winner,
though now wealthy, Is still drawing
dividends. Upon the fulfllment of his
obligation he sent for his wife, and is
now employed by one of the street car
companies of Denver at about fifty dol
lars month, and will probably never
get above that figure. st. Louis Globe

Tho Way Cyclones Turn.

The question is often asked, Why do
cyclones, "whirlwinds" and tornadoes
all persist In the polar whirl from right
to left2 Astronomical spectators have
supposed that all the planets once ex-
listed as rings of thinly scattered matter
around the sun. and that these rings
were annular segregations from vague,
irregularly scattered mass that turned
one way in spiral courses, thus deter
mining the direction in which the rings
revolved, and all the rest from this took
the same course.
But" you say. why did the nebula
revolve at alp 1t grew from chaos,
and chaos presumably possessed an in
herent motion from right to left. This
being the case, from that time to this,
sun, moon, stars, planets, cyclones and
tornadoes have adhered to the original
habit. st. Louis Republic.

Court,

The regular December term of Court
commenced last Tuesday with Justice Z.
W. Scudder presiding. AS usual the
Grand Jurors we're sworn in first.
Justice Sondder paid high tribute to
the general good character OF our people
in Hunterdon County based upon the fact
that there was so little crime committed
within Its borders. He however directed
the attention of the Grand Jury to a mat
ter to which bis attention had been called
relative to crusher which some parties
had put up in West Amwell township
which, 1t was stated, was dangerous to
public travel on the same, aud directed the
Jury TO investigate the matter, saying that
If they found the facts as stated it was a
public nuisance. The Grand Jury then
retired TO Its rooms.
The application OF Isaac j. Latourette
10 keep an inn and tavern at White House
Station was granted, and the license fee
was placed at $4,000
The Court next heard general or COM
mon motions after which the list Of causes
was called, which list we published last
week.
No. Q on the list Of Supreme Court
causes, Frederick Carrard VS.. Nathaniel
Niles, was the first case tried. This was
an action brought by the plaintiff for the
keep CT several horses which were placed
on the farm Of the plaintiff by the defen-
dant 10 1887 and remained there until 1891,
the amount claimed being over $1,000.
The defence was first that the defendant
did not own the horses during the time
charged for, second that the plaintiff did
not own the farm on which the horses
were kept during the time charged, but
that the farm belonged to Madame Parrot,
and third, that If there was any contract
at all the charges made for the keep OF the
horses were exorbitant and out Of all rea-
son. Verdict for plaintiff, 5000
Mary g. Alpaugh VS.. Central r. r. Of
N. This was an action for damage for
an alleged injury sustained by the plain
tiff through the carelessness Of the de /.
PENDANT. On Sunday, July Goth, the
plaintiff travelled on the defendants road,
from Bound Brook tc High Bridge. She
claimed that when she was leaving the
car at High Bridge the train started just
as she was about TO step TO the ground,
and that she was thrown down, her left
leg coming 10 contact with the track rail
In such manner as to severely injure 1t.
The plaintiff did not call physician or
make any complaint against the Railroad
Company until the 9th Of October follow
ing. On the 9th OF October she struck
the injured leg with wash-tub, and on
that evening sent for a physician, who
has been treating her up to the present
time. The defence is that the plaintiffs
fall was occasioned through no fault OF
the defendant; that when the plaintiff
got of the car the train was not In mo-
ton; that when the train started the plain
tiff was standing still on the ground, and
that subsequently, in crossing the track
she tripped and fell.
The case was still on at the adjourn
ment OF Court on Friday afternoon, and
will be concluded this week.

MR., EDTToR:-We wish to call the at
tentiou of the projectors of the pig race
to the law for the prevention of cruelty to
animals. We are inclined to think this
may have escaped their notice and when
their attention is called TO 1t, they will
abandon this Objectionable and unlawful
part OF their sport. 1t needs no argument
to prove that the chasing, worrying and
torturing an innocent and defenceless pig
is not only cruel but brutal and democrat
izing. 1t indicates low standard Of civ
ilization when people take pleasure aud
delight in tormentlng dumb animals and
is scandal upon a christian community
that tolerates it, If people must crafty
their tastes for brutal sports, it would be
more humane and manly to have a bull
fight, where the bull might have a chance
to gore some of his tormentors to death.

General Grant used to take great de-
light In telling this story: There was no
better, more fearless, or more loyal SOL
dier than was old Jack Dublin, but he
had one fault, and that was the fondness
OF the whiskey bottle, or rather OF its
contents. He had a boon companion,
who every one called Uncle 81. While in
camp, Jack was taken sick with fever
and died. The corpse developed an I'M
usual rigidity. On the night before his
burial, 1t was stretched out full length on
board with It's head and feet tied down
with ropes. Old Uncle 81 insisted upon
watching the remains of bis friend. Short
ly after midnight, he became thirsty,
and stepped out to procure drink. Dur
Ing bis absence, two large cats found
their way to the tent containing the re-
mains OF old Jack. When Uncle 81 re-
turned he was indignant TO see these fe-
lines sitting on the corpse, one at the
head, the other at the feet. Selling a

at the pussy sitting near the head. 1t
