INQUEST on THE BoDY OF JOHN BoGHAN-
VERDICT OF THE JURT.-Coroner Hartman
last evening concluded the inquest on the re-
mains of John Boghau, found on the Ma
honning track, Sunday morning. The evi-
dence of Sunday as to the mans habits and
identity was corroborated. by some wOrkmen
of the Rolling Mill.


The verdict is that the deceased came to
his death in some manner not explained in
the evidence. Going home in state of in
tozication, and during dark and stormy
night, he may have laid down and fell asleep
on the track, and was accidently killed by
the coal train coming in about IL o'clock
Saturday night. We think it most likely he
met his death in that way, but possibly he
was knocked down and purpOsely laid in the
way of the train by some person or persons
unknown. In their opinion nobody on the
train referred to is to be blamed in the least
degree.

TIE GERMAN REPUBLICAN BANQUET.-Last
evening the German Republicans had a
banquet at Atheneum Hall. It was gotten
up as grand feast of rejoicing over glo-
rious victory, where all could unite in ex-
pressions of graduation, and where pent up
enthusiasm could find opportunity for deliv-
erance And such an occasion it was. At
an early hour the tables were spread with all
that was edible, and about 9 o'clock the
company was seated. An hour was quickly
passed in discussing the viands, and the
cloth being removed, toasts and speeches
were freely INDUCED in. This was kept up
for some time, when the company withdrew
and the Hall was cleared for the dance

PROVIDING FOR THE WNTER.-AbOut 4
o'clock Saturday morning, officer McIlrath,
walking through Merwin street, noticed a
woman vending her way down toward the
river. He observed bundle of something
in her arms which aroused his suspicious,
and he was induced to follow her. He kept
his eye on her, and soon observed her leav-
ing the place with good load of wood on
her shoulder. He kept on her track, follow
ing her to her residence on st. Clair street.
Here he found her husband engaged in saw
ing the wood as fast as she furnished it, and
they had already got large room closely
packed with fine quality of oak and hiek-
ory wood. The owner of the wood was ac-
quainted with the fact, but for certain rea-
sons he accepted a compromise, and no pros
ecution will result.

be found conservatism enough to give US security

RUFUS CuoATE.-The following anecdote of the
late Mr. Choate is related by his biOgrapher: Mr..
Choate's appeal to the jury began long before his


final argument; it began when he first took his seat
before them, and looked into their eyes. He gene
rally contrived to get his position near to them
as was convenient if possible; having his table close
to the bar in front of their seats and separated from
them only by narrow space for passage. Then he
looked over them, and began to study them. Long
before the evidence was in either by observation or
inquiry he had learned the quality of every one of
them 1t is said that a considerable portion of Mr.
Wcbster's closing appeal in the great Salem Knapp
case was intended especially for juror of very
conscientious character. Many and many time
Mr. Choate directed solid masses of his oratoric
tillery upon the heart head of peculiar jury

trial l saw him once, in argument, walk

"HE HAS NOT AN ENEMY IN THE WoRLD."-
Hasn't Well we are sorry for him, for he
has mighty little character who has no enc
mics. He is nobody who has not pluck
enough to get an enemy. Give US, rather, as
our idea of virtue and manness, one who has
many enemies one who has candor and fear
less love for the thing he sees to be right
The man of earnest purposes, strong will, and
love of principle for its own sake, must have
enemies But this, so far from being ILL., is to
him good. The strong tree is more deeply
rooted and fastened in the soil by the blast
than the summer breeze. A man never knows
how much there is of him until he has con-

that if seed corn is frozen before it is dry, its

failure of seed corn if the corn is ripe, or
nearly ripe, when it is gathered.
