The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1895-02-14

HypnotIsm is the scapegoat upon which
the charge Of bigamy has been placed in
a ST. Louis court. by man who seems to
have contracted the habit of getting mar
ried. Had he rested his defense upon one
instance OF getting married too often.
there might be some reason in his plea.
4 woman might. indeed. hypnotic man
and make him marry her; but where a
man deliberately gets hypnotized half a
dozen times by as many different women.
there is evidently something wrong The
court ought to rule that hypnotic bigamy
IS just as much an offense against the law
as plain. straight away getting married
too often with the eyes wide open.

900 ounces at time. Each pot is
good for $50 melts. It viii cost the
mint about 900 for crucibles to melt
the 4. OO0, 0oo ounces Of silver.
Gold is melted in blacl-lead pot,
which costs about one-tenth as much
as the iron pot, but the black-iead pot
is good for only about thirteen melts-
No silver passes through the iron
crucible. A little is absorbed By it,
and this is recovered when the cruel
BILE is melted after it has seen the last
Of its usefulness. Nothing that could
yield any OF the waste silver is allowed
to get away from the mint without
chemical treatment to extract the
precious metal. The melting pot, the
slags, the ashes from the furnaces, and
even the outside pickings from the
black Innings Of the furnaces are
ground and sifted. to obtain metallic
grains, and these grains are refined.
The residue from the sleeves is put
into sweep machine, which extracts
the smaller particles. And the very
minute particles Of metal pass in the
water Of the sweep machine to settling
watts and wells. These wells are cleaned
out at very long intervals and they al
ways yield little gold and silver.

If you approach . cultivated italian
gentleman in this country and tell
him politely that Italians were de-
signed by Providence to black boots,
work On the aqueduct and sell decayed
bananas from push-cart, he will beg
to suggest that you may have formed
your opinion on insufficient evidence;
that it is unfair 20 Judge people by
that portion of it which has been
starved out of its own country; and
that in Italy there are many occupa-
tions besides those which you have
mentioned. If you tell an Irishman
that the Irish are fit only for politics
and the New York police force, he viii

reply differently expressed according
to the custom of his country and the
blacker disgrace Of the accusation.
Arguments Of this kind-I mean of

fact is proven by the precipitate and
panic-stricken retreat Of the Chinese
forces. It dates from the time when
the leading New York papers began to
sign the names of thoir correspondents
ia the field. No people shrink more
modestly from the advancing inter.
viewer than 90 the Chinese.
Though the excellence Of their judG.
ment in this matter cannot De cues
toned, am surprised that they have
not invented some way to get around
would have said that the Chinese were
unsurpassed. 1t must be that they, as
nation, are grossly aattered by the
qualities of their representatives in
this country. Why, If you'll believe
me, was present in publishers office
one day, when a little bias-eyed rascal
with a pigtail coiled under his derby
hat cams in and threw down TIE boss
of the shop. OK course l use the cx-
preston metaphorically to indicate
that the oriental genius got the better
of the publisher in a bargain, and that
publisher in sharp, as the following in
cident will prove: He had contract
with writer and the writer died and
was cremated; whereupon the pub
Usher seized the ashes of the deceased
in little pewter urn, and held them
as security for the fulfllment Of the
contract by the widow Of the gentle
man whose combustion lad furnished
the ashes. l would rather conquer Ja-
pan myself than take any chances
with such person as that.
The Chinaman concerned in this af-
fair had made his living for several
years by selling the news OF China
town to three of the leading news
papers and contradicting il in three
others. When times were dull on Mott
street he always had the resource of
getting himself murderously assaulted
by highbinders OF some devastating
Celestial conspiracy of which nobody
else had ever heard. he would call
upon half his clients with MS nose
covered with court plaster, and then he
would wash it off and call upon the
others.
