There being in Great Britain no judicial
examination or appeal of the pro
ceedings at a criminal trial, possible errors
can only be corrected through n new trial or
by executive action upon the sentence; there
fore this government is anxious that such
careful examination bo given to the pro
ceediugs in this case as to discover error,
should one hnve been committed. Yon are
therefore, directed by the President to re
quest a delay of execution of the sentence
and that a careful examination of the case
be made by her Majesty's government, aud
that the prisoner's counsel be permitted to
present any alleged points of error."
The following reply was received from
lx>rd Granville: "That the counsel for
O'Donnell having submitted the represen
p-.tions he thought advisable on the prisoner's
la half, those ri pnsentations and all the
other circumstances of the case had been
ruefully examined and considered in th e
manner usurl in the case of capital con vie

found no grounds upon which they would b®
justified in advising the Crown to interfer
with the sentence of the law or execution.

President Arthur's cabinet is thus
described by a writer in the Troy

How the world has progressed within
a century! George Washington, the
first president of the United States,
never saw a steamboat. John Adams
the second president of the United
States, never saw a railroad. Andrew
Jackson, the seventh president, knew
nothing about the telegraph. A lira
ham Lincoln, the sixteenth president,
never dreamed of such a thing as the
telephone.
The New York Herald says thai
most of the heavy gambling in New
York nowadays is done in tho fashion
able club houses, among men who in

"professional" gambler if they know
him to be such. These are the men
who lose |3ouo to S4OOO a night with

The World's Industrial and Cotton
Centennial exposition, inaugurated bj
a resolution of the National Cotton
Planters' association, will open in New
Orleans on the flrst Monday of De< om
ber, 1884, and continue until May 31,
1885. This exposition will not only
commemorate the centennial anniver
sary of the first exportation of cotton
from the United States but will alsc
be an international industrial expo
sit ion. This exposition is to be held
under the joint auspices of the United
States government and the National
Cotton Planters' association.
The returns as to coinage of foreign
countries contains some interesting
facts. In Great Britain uo gold wa*
coined in 1882. The best estimate ol
the gold coin in circulation in the
United Kingdom is 110,000,000 pounds
sterling, and of paper money 43,721,000
pounds sterling. The gold coinage ol
France in 1882 amounted to 3.742.00 C
francs, and tho silver coinage tc
7,159,859 francs. Mr. Burchard, di
rector of the Philadelphia mint, put?
the total paper circulation of the thirty
eight principal countries at $3,832,920,-
903; the gold circulation at $3,333,-
113,000. and the silver coin at
$2,712,220,000.
The London Times finds that the
number of watches manufactured in
England is yearly becoming less and
less, and traces the cause of the do
cline to the use of new ideas and in
ventions by workmen both in America
and Switzerland. "In America," il
says, "everything is done on a largt
scale, while we still stick to the
methods of our forefathers. Here the
different parts of a watch are made iD
different shops, or different portions ol
the country, and trotted about froir
one to the other. In America a com
plete watch is made in one building
One American house alone made 201,-
000 watches last year, while our tota'
production was not more than 175,-
000."
Returns to the United States bureau
of statistics continue to show a marked
decrease in the number of immigrants
arriving in this country compared with
the statistics for the last and previous
years. Germany, though still sending
a third of the immigrants who come
to the shores of the United States,
shows tho notable decrease, Ireland
coining next. The percentage of fal
ling off is in the neighborhood of forty
per cent in each case. This shows
that the influences by which it is
sought to deter immigration are still
prevalent in Fatherland. However,
there is a falling off in all nationalities,
though none are so marked as those
named.
As all Rocky Mountaineers know,
Chinamen and gamblers arrive simul
taneously at booming mining camps,
and soon constitute more than one-hall
of the rapidly growing male popula
tion. The Chinamen wash, cook and
clean for the gamblers, whose reckless
generosity with cash soon enables the
Chinamen to sail through the Golden
Gate homewards. Naturally, such a
population will produce strange social
results. In Butte, Montana, there are
three distinct sets, the "swellest" being
led by a gray-eyed young lady named
Jeannette Emerson, who teaches school,
and whose father retails bad whisky in
a shanty saloon. There are 7000 peo
ple in Butte, of whom 1000 are China
men. Saloons occupy the best business
locations, and gambling goes on openly
in nearly all of them.

"When a young man," said the gen

native county. At one of the precincts,
as I passed by a crowd, I noticed a
man—one Sam Stewart—whom I had

and as I passed I heard him say,—
" 'i am agin all lawyers, and though

"I walked boldly up to the crowd,
and askttl what engaged them so
earnestly. Sam repeated his language.
I said, —
•"You (ill me with amazement. I

"He hesitated a moment, and then
turning to the crowd, said, —
" "Gentlemen, theui are facts; just as

A Sharp Witness.
During a recent trial the following
| occurred, varying the monotony of the
proceedings. Among the witnesses
! was one as verdent a specimen of hu
manity as one would wish to meet
with. After a severe cross-examina
tion, the counsel for the government
; paused; and then, putting on a look of
: severity, and an ominous shake of the
! head exclaimed, —
"Mr. Witness has not an effort been
made to induce you to tell a different
! story?"
"A different story from what I have
told, sir?"
"That is what I mean."
"Yes, sir; several persons have tried
to get me to tell a different story from
what I have told, but they couldn't."
"Now, sir, upon your oath I wish to
know who those persons are."
"Waal, I guess you've tried 'bout as
hard as any of 'em."
The witness was dismissed while
judge, jury and spectators indulged in
a hearty laugh.

coal oil on the brain. And a few even
ings ago, while some old women friends
were calling upon her, one of them re
marked:—
"1 don't know what's the matter
with my Johnny's knee. It's swelled,
and it makes him so lame he can hardly
walk."
"Bathe it in coal oil," said the old
lady; "I'll guarantee you it'll cure it."
Another one said, —
"My Sarah has such a dreadful pain
between the eyes."
"Well, all she's got to do is to rub it
well with coal oil three or four times
a day, and it'll cure her," hastily re
marked the old lady.
"Well," said the third woman, "I
ain't got nobody sick about my house,
but if a body hasn't got trouble one
way she's got it another. All I can do
I cannot get my Jennie to stay at
home of evenings."
"Rub her with coal oil, and I'll
guarantee you it will surely cure her,"
returned the old lady, in good earnest.
Rightly Punished.
Druggists have to keep their wits
about them in Paris. One of their
number having been convicted of adul
terating sulphate of quinine, has been
sentenced to a year's imprisonment at
hard labor. In addition, he is to pay
a fine of a thousand francs, his name
and crime are to be published in twelve
political and twelve professional pa
pers, and should he ever reopen his
store, to the door thereof is to lie af
fixed a sign: "Sentenced for adultera
ting sulphate of quinine."

May 23,18Kt: "I have used Hunt's Y'e nely
in my family for over ten years. My wife
was troubled with catarrh of the bladder,
suffered intense pain in the kidneys and
!oin, and urination was accomplished with
the g of agony. My friends thought
thst rhe could not recover. We tried doc tors
ar.d medicine -, and better at times
she would grow worse again. She was obliged
to use the urinal as many at fifteen times in
a right, and was growing wo r se daily. At
this time my attention was called to Hunt's
i Remedy, an 11 concluded to try it; and after
' ning one bott'e she w is a good del better,
the inf!ainmati< n was reduced, and the water
more natural. Hhe began to gain in appetite
and fe't no pain in the l ack and kidneys.
She conld attend to her honseho'd work
without rin, ard this had been a great
burden to do, even the ligl.t -st kind of work.
After using six 1 ottles she was completely
cured. Since then I have had occaron to
use Hunt's Remedy for kidney a id liver com
plaints, and found it to be just as represented,
and I consider it a most wonderful medicine.
I would not be without Hunt's Remedy in
my family; and I have recommended it to
my friends here in Orange with equally good
results."
A Quick Recovery.
It gives us great p'easure to state that the
merchant who was reported bring at the point
of death from an attack of pneumonia, has
entirely recoverel by the use of Dr. Wm.
Hall's Balsam for the Lu igs. Naturally he
feels grateful for the benefits derived from
using this remedy, for the lungs and throat;
and in giving publicity to this sta'ement ws
are actuated by motives of public benefa. tion,
trusting that others may be benefited in a
bimilar manner.
