him.
Mr.. Julian. on cross-examination
had manifested decided Discrimination
to explain how he had lost his eye
sight A friend who was going to take
his girl to the fair requested Julian to
carry his revolver, which he had done,
he finally explained. Had gone to
Shelbyville to the fair, took several
drinks before dinner, bought pint Of
whisky, took more drinks after dinner,
bought another pint of whisky, broke
the shaft Of his buggy against q tree,
and when "nigger" offered to fix it,
accepted the offer, but, thinking to
have some fun with the "nigger," drew
the pistol and pointed it at him. The
niger had jumped behind the horse,
shouting, Don't shoot, boss" where
upon Julian, thinking one load had
been fired at dog, shot at himself, in
fun, and lost his sight.
''It was loaded" was his explanation.
II was just drunk, and lost my sight
that way, that's all"
Everything that Miss Pollard had
done that morning at Squire Tinsley's,

man.
He had kissed her, just as he would
kiss any girl. Saw nothing wrong
about it, and had kissed, many women.
At this point the court adjourned.

ODD BAROMETERs.
The Leech I'm "a bottle and the Frog
ON Ladder.

From tho Lordon Spectator.
Two of the oldest and oldest forms of
popular barometers are the leech in a bot
tie and a frog on a ladder. Mr. Richard
lnwards has seen an old Spanish drawing
of nine positions of the leech, with verses
describing its attitude and behavior before
different kinds Of weather. Dr. Merry
weather of Whitby contrived an apparatus
by which one of twelve leeches confined in
bottles rang a bell when a tempest was
expected. When leeches were Kept in every
chemists shop. and often in private houses
their behavior was the subject of constant
observation; and IT was generally noticed
that in still weather. dry or wet, they re-
manned at the bottom but rose often as
much as twenty-four hours in advance be-
fore change: and. in case of a thunder
storm, rose very quickly to the surface de-
scending when it was past
The frog barometer used in Germany
and Switzerlan nd, is very simple appa tus
consisting of a jar of water, frog and a
little wooden step-ladder If the frog comes
out and sits or the steps, rain is eXpected
The weather-glass dearest to the old-fash-
iored cottage in the last generation was
the odd man and cid woman" who came

pc :ded on the contracting of piece of
catgut fastened TO a lever The belief that
bees will not fly before a shower is prob
ably true, and is the rational origin of the
banging of trays and iron pots with a door
key when bees are going to swarm. The in
sects are supposed to take this for thunder
and settle close at hand instead of
swarming at a distance. Squirting water
on them with a garden syringe often makes
them settle at once. But no such Ingenious
process of rationalizing can be found for
the belief that If the insect inside cuckoo

horses by flies before rain, and the rise of
the gossamer before fine weather, are
abundantly confirmed by observation

DENMARK GIVEN SATISFACTION

German Omcial Dismissed for Expel-
ling Danish Actors.
COPENHAGEN. July 1S.-The Danish
government has obtained satisfaction for
the expulsion from Schleswig, Germany, of
the eight Danish players belonging to the
Royal Theater of Copenhagen.
The players were arrested at Hadersleben,
Schleswig. early in June, under instruc-
items from the burgomaster of that place,
who claimed that there was a prohibition
against the use of the Danish language in
Schleswig. The actors and actresses were
then ordered to leave Scheswig. and went
to Ribe. across the frontier. in Denmark,
where they received an ovation when the
facts Of their expulsion became known.
The Danish government called the atten-
ton of the government Of Germany to this
action upon the part of the burgomaster of
Hadersleben, and after the matter had
been inquired into the official mentioned
was dismissed in disgrace.
1t appears that there had been a prohibit
ton against the use of the Danish language
in Schleswig. but the order had been with
drawn. and the burgomastsr should have
been aware of this.
