Patrick Duffy, an early resident OF
the town of Clyman, died at his home in
that town on Wednesday last, aged SO
years. He was the father of Mrs. Tom
Coler, of this city.
The following cases were decided in
the circuit court last week, all having
been tried by juries: Chas. Whitman VS..
Samuel Bonner, verdict for plaintiff,
$36; Minnie Ninman VS.. VIM. Suhr,
SANDER, verdict for plaintiff, 500;
Aaron Fanshaw VS.. L. E. Ford, SANDER,
verdict for plaintiff, $3.50; James Pat
rick VS.. John and Frank Shaughnessy
damages for assault, verdict for plain tiff,
$500. The trial of criminal cases will
occupy the attention of the court dur
ing the present week, and it seems
likely another week will be consumed
In the trial of the remaining civil cases.
Three prisoners escaped from the

GHOSTS HAVE BAD HABITS.

Those of Cinnamon Buried in Foreign
Land VIII Not Rest.
The movement recently put on foot
in this city to have the bones of China
men buried in the New York BAY Gem
etery and Evergreens cemetery ex-
humed and sent to China will bring
relief to hundreds of families in the
Celestial kingdom.
The average Chinaman is nothing if
not superstitious, says the New York
Herald. When one dies down in China
town all the other Celestials hurriedly
move out of the house. The deceased
may have been companionable enough
when living, but, being dead, his ghost
becomes thing of terror.
The ghost of Chinaman buried in a
foreign land never rests. Listless
opium-fuddled Wong Bong may never
have stepped beyond the precincts OF
Mott or Pell streets, but his ghost is
always cursed with Bohemian instincts,
and is possessed with an insane desire
to travel.
Every little while it takes a flying
trip to China, and the first thing they
know, the relatives of that Chinaman
begin to run against it in the dark and
have their wits frightened out of them.
The poor ghost isn't to blame, either.
Old Charon positively refuses to recog.
nize him; he gets low spirited, down on
his luck, and finally, in sheer despair,
becomes a chronic hunter of former
relatives, and is, in short, an out and out
p11icanon

To Please Him.

A great many stories are told of the
jealousy and illfeeling among the mu-
sicians, but not always are the tales SO
full of a good-humored appreciation OF
the state of things as is the following
told by the Argonaut: Rossini, walk
ing one day on the boulevard with
the musician Braga, was greeted by
Meyerbeer, who anxiously inquired
after the health of his dear Rossini.
Dad, very bad" answered the latter;
ga headache, sideache and leg
can scarcely move" After few mo-
ments' conversation, Meyerbeer passed
on, and Braga asked the great com
poser how it was he had suddenly be-
come so unwel1. Smilmgly Rossini re-
assured his friend. 'Oh, I couldn't be
better; I only wanted to please Meyer
beer. He would be SO glad to see me
