The soporific properties of the COM
non or garden lettuce were known In
the earliest ages. Galen used to eat
the lettuce in the evening as remedy
for wakefulness at night, and most
persons find it induces sleep. Lactu-
carium is the inspissated juice of the
garden lettuce, and has the color, and
in some measure the taste and OdOr OF
opium; but no morphia has yet been
obtained from It, and its narcotic prin-
ciple is therefore still undiscovered.
Its analysis is said TO prove it to con-
tain a large proportion of caoutchouc.
as much as twenty-five parts in fifty.
Its medicinal effects are very nearly
the same as those of opium, but it is
undoubtedly much milder in its oper-
alton, and may consequently be used
in cough and consumption and in 9th
er cases where opium from its stimu-
'ating effect cannot be borne.

SUBSTANTIAL JUSTICE.
The Method of Rendering Ii Adopted by
an Old Iowa Magistrate.


A few lawyers were sitting in one Of
the city restaurants a few days ago.
eating lunch and discussing different
subjects, says the Kansas City Jour
nal, when one of them told the follow
ing story: This occurred some years
ago in the Office of a former justice of
the peace. An attorney, who has since
left Sioux City, had been engaged to
defend a man for the crime of petty
larceny. The lawyer knew that the
case against the client was a. pretty
strong one and he decided TO beard the
lion in his den. AS he entered the
room he told the Justice of the case,
the name of his client and added he
did not think there was any evidence
to convict At the same time he slipped
a $50 gold piece in the hand of the
Justice and gave him knowing wink.
The court said nothing, but, pulling
open the cash drawer, Slipped the
money in. The case went to trial and
after the evidence had all been intro
duced there appeared to be no Ques-
ton of the guilt of the defendant. But
his counsel was confident, thinking the
gold piece had done the work. The
court then summed up the case and,
to the establishment of the defendants
counsel. said: The court finds the
defendant guilty as charged in the in
formation and fines him $780, of which
amount $40 has been paid. The de-
PENDANT. will be committed to the
county Jail until the remainder is paid
into this court Nothing more was
said and the justice settled back in his
chair, satisfied that the laws of the
state had been upheld and a dishonest
attorney had been left in the lurch.

The conversation has naturally drift
ed into war channels, and the major
had the floor.
We'll. Col. Mosby, you know. was
a good fighter, but when Gen. Grant
sent him to China the Virginians turn
ed the cold shoulder to him. One day
he was making a speech in Alexandria
He told the Virginians that they ought
to vote for him.
Why said the colonel, I fought
all over northern Virginia for four
years. Talk about my war record!
Why. my war record Is a part of the
states history. Why, gentlemen, l
through this very town.
YES replied Fitzhugh Lee, for l
was here at the time
Thank you for your fortunate rec
election gratefully exclaimed Mosby.
1T is pleasant to know that there still
live some men who move aside envy
and testify to the courage of their fell
low beings. AS / say, gentlemen. my
war record is a part of the states his
tory, for the gentleman here will tell
you that | carried the last confederate

That's a fact said Fitzhugh Lee.

Fitzpatrick was after him, and he car

told whether it was the confederate
flag or a smallpox warming"

CHAPTER V.

with the hrst peep of day / retired
from the open air TO my old lair among
the sandhills, there to await the COM
ing of my wife. The morning was
gray, wild and melancholy; the wind
moderated before sunrise, and then
went about and blew in puffs from the
shore; the sea began TO go down. but
the rain still fell without mercy. Over
all the wilderness of links there was
not creature to be see. Yet l felt
sure the neighborhood was alive with
skulking foes. The light had been so
suddenly and surprisingly flashed upon
my face as l lay sleeping, and the hat
that had been blown ashore by the
wind from over Graden Floe, were two
vironed Clara and the party in the
pavilion.
1t was perhaps half-past Z, or nearer
8, before saw the door open and that
dear figure come toward me in the
rain. l was waiting for her on the
beach before she had crossed the sand
hills.
Il have had such trouble to comet"
she cried. They did not wish me to
go walking in the rain"
Clara" l said; you are not fright
ened?"
No" said she, with a simplicity
that filled my heart with confidence.
For my wife was the bravest, as we'll
as the best of women; in my expe
rience have not found the two go al
ways together, but with her they did;
and she combined the extreme of for
titude with the most endearing and
beautiful virtues.
/ told her what had happened and,
thoIgh her cheek grew visibly paler,
she retained perfect control over her
senses.
You see now that am safe, said
/ in conclusion. They do not mean
to harm me; for, had they chosen, I
was a dead man last night"
She laid her hand upon my arm.
And / had no presentiment," she
cried.
Her accent thrilled me with delight.
l put my arm ABOUT her and strained
her to my side, and, before either of us
was aware. her hands were on my
shoulders and my lips upon her mouth.
We may have thus stood for some
seconds-for time passes quickly with
lOvers-before we were startled by a
peal Of laughter close at hand 1t was
not natural mirth, but seemed to be
affected in order to conceal an angrier
feeling. We both turned, though l
still kept my left arm about Clara's
waist; nor did she seek to withdraw
herself: and there, a few PAGES of
upon the beach, stood Northmour, his
head lowered, his hands behind his
back, his nostrils white with passion.
"Ah, Cassilis!" he said as disclosed
my face.
That same" said l, for / was not at
all put.about
And so. Miss Huddlestone," he
continued slowly but savagely, this
is how you keep your faith TO your
father and to me? This is the value
you set upon your fathers life! And
you are so infatuated with this young
gentleman that you must brave ruin
and decency and common human eau.

How He Fscaped.

Does your wife ever ask you TO do

week. Then she asked me TO match a

Wife-Did you see the doctor today?
Husband-Yes. Wife-Well did he
give you anything for your cough?
Husband-No; i was lucky enough to
see him first.

TURNCOAT RECORDS FIX.
Negiects to Register and a
Republican Heeier Swears
Him On the List.

George L. Record, the HIustrious car
~petbagger, who recently turned a soaier-
sault and landed in the Republican party,
and who has always posed as a shining
example of ell the perfect citizen, show
ed how hypercritieal his ~pretensions are
by failing to register. The Republican
manager Of the Eighth ward, knowing
how the party needed every vote it could
get, had James McAusiand to register
him by AFFIDAVIT along with a batch of
other ~sure-enough Republicans. 1t is
said that Mr.. Record was severely criti-
cized by several of the Republican lead
ers for his neglect of this simple duty of
citizenship.
When McAusland was asked today if
he had registered Mr.. Record by affida-
Wit he said tina he could not tell. He
had registered 10 many In that way that
he could remember no names. Another
election officer, when spoken to on the
subject, said that he did not know who
registered Record, but he thought it was
MeAuslana, as that individual had regis
tered 200 by affidavit. The Eighth ward
is soIdly Republican and over 1000 vot-
ers were registered iii it this year. Mr..
Record was one OF them WHO were reg
istered by the wholesale.
It will not be at all surprising to see
the Only MI. Record thrown from the
Republican party in a few more cleo
tons, as he is a source of nuisance. no
matter where he is. When he left the
Democratic party the Democrats were
jubilant and they do not want anything
to do with him hereafter.
If has been noticeable that a number
of prominent Republicans AVE said that
they are sorry that Record ever entered
their ranks.
