THE WHIsKEY CASE in which Barker, Bam-
berger and others are the defendants was
postponed yesterday until Friday, at the
request of District Attorney Purdy, on the
plea that several of his witnesses were absent.
1t is new thing for the government to ask a
postponement in these cases after they come
before the Commissioner. Even Collector
Bailey seems to have discovered the evil of
delay and to have commenced prosecutions
against the parties whom he has SO long sus-
pended by his action from business.

Probably never before in the whole history Of
medicine, has anything won sowidely and so deeply
upon the confidence of mankind, as this excellent
remedy for pulmonary complaints. Through a long
series OF years. and among most of the races of
men 1t has risen higher and higher IN their estima
ton, as it has become better known. Its uniform
character and power to cure the various affections
of the lungs and throat have made it known as re-
liable protector against them. While adapted to
mil Ter forms of disease and to young children it is
at the same time the most efectual remedy that
be given for incipent consumption and thG dam

vision against sudden attacks of Group, it should
be kept on hand in every family and indeed as all

should be provided with this antidote for them.


Although settled Consumption is thought in
curable still great numbers of cases where the dis
ease seemed settled, have been completely cured,
and the patient restored to sound health by the
Cherry PectorGi. So complete is its mastery
over the disorders of the Lungs and Throat, that
the most obstinate of them yield to it. When moth

A short time ago. one Kriel was hanged at
Louisville and after remaining suspended the
usual time, the body was obtained by same
physicians. who proceeded to try the effects
of galvanic bsttery for the restoration OF
life. The following strange particulars are
given in one of the Louisville papers:


Near midnight light wagon was driven
rapidly ou. of Walnut street, in which were
seated three mufiled silent figures, one of them

filed. In short time they returned, bear

in silence the wagon was driven back to the
city. The body was conveyed 10 the surgery
of most skilful and learned surgeon, where
some ten or twelse excited and expectant stu
dents stood arxiously awaiting the arrival of
the strange party The body was placed in
n recumbens position on the table. the cloth
ing unloosed, the chest extended and an incis-
ion made in one of the veins of the arm. AT


first but small drop of dark-eolored blood
came forth, but repeated incisions and ma
noulations of the body caused it ut last to
trickle forth more freely.


The galvanic battery was applied, and,
horrible and wonderful to relate, in less than
fifteen minutes the warm blood commenced to
course through the chilled body, ard at last
the eyes were opened. The students stood
appalled, ami could hardly realize the extent
of the demonstration before them. One of
them spoke to Kriel, asking him. "Are you
sensible?" The eyes answered expressively,
and the lips opened Intellectually, for no
speech came forth Stmulants were poured
down the throat of the revived criminal, and
in less than one hour after he had been placed
in the surgery Kriel sat up and asked them.
'What have you done? Am aliye?"

An almost unparalleled circumstance
was noticed at Muirhall, near West CAL
der. During the great heat that pre-
vailed In the summer, an Iceland pony
the property of Mr.. John Waddell,
contractor, was, for time, left to its
own free will during the temporary alb
sence of its driver. The pony, which
had been driven for considerable dis
tance, and was seemingly actuated by a
craving for water, was observed by the
proprietor of Muirhall, and others who
chanced to be in the vicinity, to delib-
erately walk distance of full fifty
yards, and with his teeth turn the cock
of a water pipe projecting out of the
road embankment, supply itself with
draught of the refreshing beverage, re-
adjust the cock and return to the posi-
ton in which il was left. This case is
not only paralleled, but surpassed by
one that occurred in Leeds in 1874. A
gentleman's horse was regularly turned
into field where there was a pump,
the water of which never failed. The
horse observed how the pump worked,
and at last took to pumping for himself
thus saving the groom the trouble of
providing him with water. His mode
of procedure was TO take the handle of
the pump between his teeth and pump
away until the trough was full. Mr..
Weir has given us life.like picture Of
this incident, which is, undoubtedly,
one of the most curious in all the histo-
ry of animal intelligence. Clever Ami

A TRICK OF THE PRINTER--A re.
cent accident in an English printing
Office holds out a hope for Chicago. 4
scamp gained access to the Clarendon
Printing Office when the forms for a
new edition of the prayer-book Of the
Church of England were nearly ready
for the press, and substituted for V in
the word ''live" in the marriage SER
vice where it reads that both promise To
love, honor, &C., $50 long as ye both
shall live" thus making the last word


"like." The whole edition was pub,
lished before the error was discovered;
and as the book with such regulation
of marriage would be of no service in
England, it is now proposed to send the
edition to Chicago, and distribute it
there at a normal price. 1t is thought
that all the prayers in the book are
needed there, while the change in the
text of the marriage service will differ
but little from the custom of the place.

What though the voice be broken,
And the measure Incomplete,
Though low the words be spoken,
To me the music's sweet,
For tits my wife that's singing
The song used 20 know,
And memory fresh is bringing
The thoughts of long ago.
Though time seems slowly moving,
Yet many years have fed
Since loved and truly loving
My wife and were wed.
The marks OF times rude finger
Aie traced upon us now,
Yet pleasant thoughts still linger
or the days of long ago.
We've seen our days of sorrow;
And nights OF deepest gloom.
Yet sunshine came tomorrow
And frightened up our home;
And now with ages duty
We seek our end to know.
And leave both youth and beauty
To the days of long ago.



Our children, some have left us
And other homes have found,
or some hath Death bereft us,
We've laid them In the ground;
And sometimes we feel lonely
AS we journey here below,
For there are us two only,
AS it was long ago.
Though old, we still are trying
To reach the blissful goal,
The land where none are dying,
And our circle will be whole.
Enriched with this great treasure,
We our Redeemer know,
This gives us greater pleasure,
Than the thoughts OF long ago.

A BEAUTIFUL SENTIMENT.--In Au-
gustin Daly'S great play Under the
Gaslight' Laura Courtland utters these
beautiful sentiments =


'-Let the woman you look upon be
wise or vain, beautiful or hOmely, rich
or poor, she has but one thing she can
give or refuse-her heart. Her beauty,
her wit, her accomplishments, she may
sell to you-but her love is the treasure
without money and without price. She
only asks in return that when you look
upon her, your eyes shall speak mute
devotion; that when you address her,
your voice shall be gentle, loving and
kind. That you shall not despise her
because she cannot understand, all at
once, your vigorous thoughts and am
bilious plans, for when misfortune and
evil have defeated your greatest pur-
poscs---her love remains to console you.
You look upon the trees for strength
ana grandeur do not despise the flow
ers because their fragrance is all they
have to give. Remember, love is all
that woman can give-but it is the
only earthly thing which God permits
us to carry beyond the grave"

RAILROAD SURyEY.-A surveying
party sent out by the California and Oregon
Company are engaged in running survey
lines in this county. At last accounts they
were at North Cow Greek If the Com
pany desire the most direct and consequent
ly most inexpensive route up the Sacra-
mento they will do well to run survey
from the town of Shasta to the mouth of
Pit River, varying it somewhat from the
route reported on by Elliot. If the Com
pany ever runs careful survey from this
pla ;e to the mouth of Pit river, there is no
doubt but that they will locate the road on
that route. If they neglect to make. the
survey they will simply have the misfor-
tune to locate on far less advantageous
route-such is the opinion of intelligent
men who are familiar with every section
of land on both sides of the Sacramento.

At what age is it proper to hang muir

of three schoolmates, aged each about
ten They threatend to kill him, and on
the way home from school the three way
laid the lad, who was named Ferguson,
and beat him to death Now, the ques-
ton is, whether these three lads, ten
years old, shall be hung? Why noty The
Jews used TO put to death much younger
children even, simply for striking their
parents. As we are still under the Old
Dispensation, so far as hanging is con-
cerned, must not these Illinois children
die? The argument from The capital
punishment side of the question for
hanging them is perfect or il viii
be said, they were not morally respon-
sible!' We beg pardon: the question is,
whether we are to have the eye for an
eye, and the tooth for a tooth? We desire
to have it understood that this is the
exact point, and that no supporter of
hanging can honestly evade it. He
who sheddeth man blood, by man shall
his blood be shed, does not mean by
man. an adult person of the mascu-
liHe gender, but any human being
Murder by boy of ten years reduces
the whole argument to an absurdity; but

anybody; and we are consistent, which
cannot be said of the other side.
