to Coal town and rearrest Gardner.
l wanted him, not for the clarinet
business as there was no charge
lodged against him on that score,
but entirely as q fugitive. AS Officer
Ryan approached Hunters house,
Gardner saw him and fled to the woods.
Seeing that the fellow had a good
start on him, and that it would be
hopeless to pursue him then, Officer
Ryan drove Immediately to the house
and engaged Hunter in conversation
as to how long Gardner had been
there, ETC., and while so engaged he
observed the clarinet. He at once
admonished Hunter that the instru-
ment belonged to a man in Rock Isl
and, and said he would return it to
its rightful owner. Hunter objected,
saying that he would bring it down
himself. After cautioning him about
the property being that Of another.
Officer Ryan FASTENED back to Rock
Island for further instructions, and
there was no yellow legged chicken
dinner, as the Union asserts. or any
thing of the kind. Ryan reached
the station promptly at noon.
when l returned from dinner at
l o'clock l found Mr.. Hunter there
waiting for me. He asked me as to
the amount still due against Gard
ner, and figured it out for him as
follows: The total originally was
1880. Prisoners serving out fines
are allowed 81 per day. Gardner
had served two days, which was
equal to 81. Deducting this from
the 1880. it left SLIGO due. Mr..
Hunter paid this, and l still hold it.
The record was properly made OF the
transaction. and the money will be
paid to Magistrate Schroeder befoi G
the end of the month, as is always
done in such cases. The mittimus
having been satisfied, l told Mr..
Hunter that on that score we had
nothing more to do with Gardner.
Mr.. Hunter had the clarinet with
him, and left the Office with the
avowed intention of taking it to its
owner. l did not know Cramer's
address then. but told Mr.. Hunter
where he could find him.

 The act of bsck-scrstcbiug has never been thought to possess any particular deep siguifeation. It has been reserved for N. Mouton, & French scientific man, to lay bare Its true inwarduess. To the sim pls fact that on a recent occasion the hot water apparatus of the Mouton menAge was out of order, the world owes one of the most momentous discoveries. One morning, as N. Mouton stepped into the philosophic bathing tub, the unwontsd chill of the water sent & cold current through his spine. The great man shiv- cred. Scientifically expressed, he was slm- ply suffering from cutaneous irritation in the dorsal region. In a moment he had raised his hand, scratched the spot, and found-the true apocalypse of his own and his brothers greatness. For an inspira- ton had flashed through his brain. "Eu- rekai" thought he; 'sursly no living cres turs but man Is endowed with the power of scratching his own bsekI" And ss be stepped out of the tub he decided that there was really something ir 1t.
 NJ. Mouton's iIss care was to give the subject of his investigations decent name, and 1t is in connection with "Fhe Digito- dorssl Movement" that he will bs known to posterity. To avoid the possible impu- tation of puffiag his fe!low-man up with vain conceit, he proceeded to the mon key-house of the Jardin des Plantes and tickled the backs of the inmates for & whole fortnight. He was immensely com forted to fod that the animals were utter ly unable to relieve themselves of dorssl Irritation in the exalted manner of II. Mouton himself, but had in every case to adopt the ignominious expsdient Of call ing In 8 compsnion's help. Further invss- tigation among other animals thoroughly convinced N. Aouton that the digito dor sal movement is indeed the exclusive, and ought therefore to be the most cher ished, pcs .ession of man. The tool-using capabilities of man have hitherto been considered good, if inccuclusiTe, evidence to show that there is no blood relation ship between him and any other creature. But nov that NJ Mouson has disclOsed the true import of back-scrarchinE, an evo- lution-ridden world will doubtless hold It's head proudly erect, and look even the highest snthropoid ape boldly in the fscs.
