There is only one prisoner in the jail of Hughe County, Dakota, and he would be promptly released, states the Tima- Democrat, if it was not necessary to keep the insurance good, by having somebody in the jail.

The New York Commercial Advertiser says: ‘‘Den Butler is the champion mascot of the ninetecenth century.

The value of that single crop is greater than all the wealth Spain expended in the eight years’ war, result. ing in the indepeadence of the United Netherlands, Verily the victories of peace surpass those of war.” A short time ago attention was called in the New Mexico Legislature to the fact that the Sheriff of Grant County was allo +d four horses and charged for ten days an aggregate mileage of 21,080 miles, or more than 500 miles | a day for each horse.

The New York fashionable world is gossiping over a remarkable surgical operation which has changed the de. cidedly tip-tilted nose of an aristocratic young woman into an organ of pure Grecian The surgeon's bill amounted fo $.500. The operation was design, long and tedious, involving much suf- |! fering. But the patient is satisfied and happy-for the present. Those who knew her before the change maintain that the new nose does not suit the general con- formation of her face. Others meeting her now for the first time notice a lack of harmony somewhere, but cannot tell what causes it. Another sensitive crea. ture who had her teeth straightened at great expense is tortured by the horrible | fear that people will say they are false. — The Pennsylvania Railroad, after giv- ng a year's trial of iron ties, has aban. Coad their use. The chief reason for doing so is that the iron ties have not the elasticity necessary for the *‘giving" of the mile. On a roadbed of broken stone, such as the Pennsylvania road has, this has been found to make the riding bard and unpleasant to the passengers, and has also greatly increased the wear and tear on locomotives and rolling stock. The iron ties, moreover, cost about three times as much as the best wooden ones, and as long as the latter are to be had they will doubtless continue in general use. When the forests become exhausted, says the New York Graphic, it will be absolutely necessary to have recourse to metal ties, but in the meantime wood appears to be the most suitable materiel for many reasons, The Duchess of recently established a | | whom, STANLEY MATTHEWS. ———————— wo Death of a United States Su- preme Court Justice.
