r Ought the County to Pay a Lot of Costs Assessed on Defendants "WHEN THE LATTER AREFT GUILTY The Question .Argued Before Judge Magee in a Perjury Case. 'OTHER SCRAPS OF LEGAL NEWS BTS A test case was argued before Judge Ma gee yesterday, the decision in wliich in volves a rood many thousands of dollars of the county's money. The point at issue is, Shall the county pay the costs in misde meanor cases wherein the defendant has been found not guilty, but ordered to pay the costs, and in default of payment has gone to jail and served his time? Heretofore, in. such cases, the costs have been paid by no one, the Controller refusing to issue warrants, as the County Solicitor took the ground that the county was not liable for the costs. As a result, when such a verdict was rendered, the witnesses, offi cers and Clerk of Courts and Sheriff's officers Jost their costs. E. H. Johnston, Esq., to have the matter decided, yesterday made a test in a perjury case, wherein such a verdict haa been ren dered and the defendant served his time. He asked for a rule on the clerk of courts to compel him to tax the costs to the county. County Solicitor Geyer opposed the mat ter. Judge Magee reserved his decision. TflET HAD HER HOODOOED.

She remained for nine weeks, during which time she was compelled to do all the domestic work and was a regular servant She was compelled to do whatever Mrs. Silar wished, being terrified by threats made by Mrs. Silar, who said that she could work her good or evil as she chose. Mrs. Xormall finally became so worried that she left the bouse. The Silars, bow ever, refused to give up her goods, which were valued at about S&O.

A half dozen witnesses testified to the fact that Thompson kept company with Miss Krepley for six years and then failed to marry her.

J Protecting tee Most Exposed andVolnerable Port of Onr Bodies. CornhiU's SJagulne.! Primitive man, being by nature a fight ing animal, fought for the most part at first with his great canine teeth, his nails and bis fists; till in process of time he added to those eaily and natural weapons the further per suasions of a club or shillelagh. He also fought, as Darwin has very conclusively shown in the main for the possession of the ladies of his kind, against other members of his own sex and species. And if you fight you soon learn to protect the most exposed and vulnerable portion ofyour body. Or if you don't, natural selection manages it for you, by killing you oft as an immediate con sequence. To the boxer, wrestler or hand to hand combatant that most vulnerable portion is undoubtedly the heart A ha-d blow, well delivered on the left breast, will easily kill, or at any rate stun, even a very strong man. Hence, "from a very early period, men have used the right hand to fight with and have employed the lelt arm chiefly to cover the heart and to parry a blow aimed at that specially vulnerable region. And when weapons of offense and defense supersede mere fists and teeth it is the right hand that grasps the spear or sword, while tbe left holds over the heart for defense the shield or buckler. From this' simple origin, then; the whole vast difference of right and left in civilized life takes its beginning. At first, no doubt, the superiority of the right hand was-only felt in the manner of fighting. But that alone gave it a distinct pull, and paved the wav. at last, for its supremacy elsewhere. For when weapons came Into use, the habitual enmlovment of the right hand to grasp the spear, sword or Jtmie maue tne nerves or muscle of the right side far more obedient to the control of the will than those of the left. The dexterity thus ac quired by the right see how the word "dexterity" implies this fact made it more natural for the early hunter and arti ficer to employ the same hand preferentially in the manufacture of flint hatchets, bows and arrows, and all the other manifold ac tivities of savage life. It'was the hand with which he grasped his weapon; it was there fore tbe hand with which he chipped it To the very end, however, the right hand re mains especially "the hand in which vou bold your knife;" and that is exactly how onr own children to this day decide the question which is wnich, when they begin to know their right hand from their left for practical purposes. ELECTRICAL EXECUTIONS. Conflagration Jones Comments Upon the New Method of Executing Criminals. From the Cnicago lnter-Ocean.2 There is no mistaking the fact that it has some advantages. It is easy and high-toned. ( It has all the merits of a "sitting down job," which some people, especially farm hands, regard as the dearest thing iu life. There is a sort of barber chair kind of comfort at taching to it, and it is said to be infinitely easier on the victim than a dry shampoo conducted under the fire of a cross-examination as to personal preferences regarding es sences and flavoring extracts. I can readily believe this, although I hope never to be able to give a testimonial as to tbe efficacy of electricity in any such veterinary doses ss the New York operators insist on giving. From all accounts it will be a pleasant, hospitable proceeding, although something of a confi dence game, with the laugh on the criminal. He is to be invited to take a seat on the trick chair and make himself at home. He will do so, feeling quite flattered. Then someone turns the spigot, a trifling matter of 1,000 volts is let into the ring, and that is all. A man may be able to handle a few volts at a time in fact, I have known of a person consuming a volt a day for 30 con secutive days but volts taken in lots of 1,000 at one time are said to impair a man's health. It is wise to be moderate in all things, especially in volts. One of the chief beauties of hanging men in barbers' chairs is the complete subjuga tion of the hanging reporter. No more will we hear of the prisoner ascending the scaf fold with a firm tread, and how at 1:13 the cap was put on, and 1:23 the drop fell. All this stop-watch literature has got to go, and best of all the regnlar announcement that "he died game" will make us weary but a few times more, and 1 don't care how few. BEE EYESIGHT FAILING. The Boy Who Wasn't Michael Didn't Appre ciate the Joke at Alt from the Detroit Free Press.l The other day an energetic woman who seemed to be in something of a hurry, came out of a house that faces one of the small parks that adorn Fifth street, and cafled aloud: "Michael! come in to your dinner. D'ye hear, sir?" The boy was busily engaged in playing a game of marbles, and although she repeated tbe call two or three times, he never turned his head or paid any attention to her. The face of the woman looked threat ening as she walked hurriedly toward the boy, caught him by the collar, lilted him to hislfeet and gave him a thorough shaking, finishing off by soundly boxing his ears. "I'll teach you to answer when I call yon and do as you're bid," she said breathlessly, and she released him. A look of blank amazement overspread her face as the bov blubbered out: "My name ain't Michaell I ain't been doin' nothing! What you walloping me fur?" She went back to the house shaking her head slowly, but all she said was: "I do believe my eyesight is getting poor." EESTDCKY YEENACCLAE. Some of the Queer Expression tbe Moun taineer Hie.

Instead of saying that he got the drop on his enemy, he says he "throwed his gun fust "TJmpobSible" is used for impos sible, and to "mislist" a man is to de ceive him. When a man says that "his word is his jint," he means that he is speaking the trnth.

How They May be Used to Supplement the Telegraph Service St Louis Globe-Democrat; Superintendent Given, of the Bock Isl and road, is making experiments with carrier pigeons with a view to using them to supplement the telegraph service. One day recently he sent 34 pigeons by express from his home to Brooklyn, a station on the Bock Island, 70 miles east of Des Moines. They were released by the station agent there. The birds first rose in the air and made a circuit of the town as if to get their bear ings, and then took a bee-line straight west toward home. They made the 70 miles back in less than two hours, and all but three reached Superintendent Given's house in good condition. "Una," fancy spring patent flour, best in the world. tts A GREAT T0RY.

I. THE NORTH WILE NOT INFRINGE On Their Southern Brothers' Domain, hat Co-Operate on'Poreign. CHANGING THE" CONFESSION OP FAITH Eev. George Purves, B. D., pastor of the First Presbyterian Church, of Pittsburg, and Kev. L N. Hays, D. D., of thj Central Presbyterian Church, of Allegheny, who were delegates to the General Assembly that met in Dr. Crosby'schurch, New York City, returned last evening and had some inter esting news. Dr. Purves, when asked in reference to what had been done by that body, said it had been a most important, a very busy and very enthusiastic! meeting. One of the main subjects considered was whether the Freed men's Board, which has its headquar ters in this city, should be continued, or be amalgamated with the HomeMission Board. This was debated very earnestly, as some of the delegates, principally from"Washington, thought there was reason to doubt as to its workings, but it was felt their doubts arose because'of taking views in perspective. The Assembly decided that the work was so im- portant that it should still be carried on as it had been; or pusnea wnn greater energy. The board has come out with flying colors, and was heartily indorsed. THE NOKTH AND THE SOUTH. Another important question was one that has engaged the Assembly's attention for several years its relations to the Southern work. A paper was adopted which is prac tically a treaty between the two churches, containing agreements to co-operate in for eign missionary work, and the orth not to establish churches in the South on ground covered by the Southern Assembly. The Southern body agreeing to help in the work among the freedmen. This was adopted en thusiastically, as it is believed to be a step toward organic union. On the temperance question, the Assembly repeated its old de liverances in favor of entire suppression of this evil, and finally came out in favor of prohibition. They were, however, very care lul to declare they did not mean to be led into a political discussion of the matter, or to indorse a third party, or any other party. Some thought this was not going far enough; in fact, the majority seemed to favor abso lute prohibition, yet it was decided not to send out any deliverance to that effect. On the question of the 'education of the ministry there was a very earnest debate. It had been proposed on account of the scarcity of ministers there not ,being iearly enough in comparison to the work tojbwer the standard of the qualifications demanded of applicants. A long report was brought in by Dr. Morris, of Cincinnati. The majority thought it a mistake to do this, as they felt it would be a backward step for the cnurch to take. Still there might be exceptions made. CHANGING THE CONFESSION. Perhaps the most important question was that of changing the Confession of Faith. The Assembly decided not to declare itself, but to leave it to the Presbyteries. An over ture was therefore sent to them, asking if revision were desired, and, if so, to what extent In this it is fully understood that no doctrine shall be altered, only the phraseology, so that to some it may be made plainer. The Presbyteries ot Jin gland and Scotland are npw agitated on this same question, but they are thoroughly . loyal to its principles. Dr. Purves did not thine any serious cnanges wouia oe maue, but rather felt that they would still stand by the old colors. Dr. Hays had not made up his mind on these questions, as he is so full of the Con stitutional amendment in this State. He thinks that it has made great gains in the past two or three weeks, and that on the 18th day of June it will be passed by a good majority, or at least he says "so mote it be." J HE SAYEI) THE SHIP. Bv Sacrificing an Actreu' Baggage and a Dude's Cane. From the Chicago Tribase.1 , "Captain," reported the officer," as he came up from below, pale with fear, "the water is gaining on us. We must lighten the ship!" With the presence of mind that distin guishes the true hero from the craven in the hour of peril the captain instantly called all hands on deck. "Men," he said, and his deep voice rang out, clear and strong, over the wild waste of waters that threatened to ingulf the stately vessel, "throw those things over board!" The sailors went to work with the energv of despair. In less than an hour they had thrown over the side of the vessel the pri vate baggage of a traveling actress and three fashionable canes belonging to a Lon don dnde, and the gallant ship, with her leak now high above waterk bounded on ber course like a thing of life. Her commander had saved her. Ho Itllght as Well Have Been. Harper's Magazine.! Two young Africans were one day fish ing from a wharf, when one of them fell into the water, and was drowned.

I've got him," exclaims our friend in the chair, and as we hastily looked up, he is seen apparently fighting to keep his rod erect, while something at the other end is convulsively dragging it down ward, with suth jerks as threaten to part the line or break the rod. The reel is whiz zinc in a threatening way,and our friend has a hard time to keep his thumb on the barrel of the reel, and at the same time avoid hav ing his knuckles rapped and torn by the rapidly revolving handle. His left, as yet, grasps the rod above the reel and forces tbe socket into his groin. "Bring out that belt, Tom," he yells, and Tom comes jumping down the rocks, in one hand his gaff-hook and in the other aleather belt, with a short round pocket sewed on in the center. This Tom hastily buckles around the waist of the fisherman, when, carefully shifting the pole, he places the butt in his pocke? and is thus protected from possible injury, which the great lever age of the, fish's pulling on the top of the rod can easily produce. The fish, in the meantime, has succeeded in getting away say,300or400feetnow,andshowssouiehesita' tion. Our friend has carefully kept a pres sure on the reel, while indulging his ma jesty in imaginary freedom in running, but which he begins to realize "uncanny," and as our eyes follow the slender thread of tne Jine in its distant entry into tne water, it is seen to rise, and presently, with a whirl of his tail, the fish shows himself; looking then to our unskilled eyes a very monster, and as he again disappears we un hesitatingly pronounce him full six feet long. "Oh, no," says onr friend in reply to onr exclamation,' "he is not over a SO pounder, but he is a good one see him fight!" and the victim tugs and tags, with a desperation born of a foresight of his ca lamity, but it vain and in another 10 min utes he loses heart and sheers in toward the .shore, when our friend is put to all' his skill to checc and reel mm in neiore he reaches a huge rocK inshore for which he heads just in time!

Albany Argus.l A few weeks ago a party of young people three or ionr couples, perhaps among whom were a pair of medical students, at tended a "pop-corn sociable" at a leading church. When they came away the sugges tion was made, and carried out, that the boys should take away some of the pop corn in their pockets, since the young women were not provided with such recep tacles. . ' i . As the party strolled down the street in conples, the feminine members of it helped themselves from the pockets of their escorts. The first of the young ladies finally bit upon a fraement which was extremely hard and unyielding, and which she threw away. Shortly she found a couple more, and at length, removing one from her month, she remarked: "This is the hardest pop-corn I ever encountered." They were passing under an electric light, and she held it up adding, "Why, what is it, anyway?" The yonng man took it without observing that tbe medical student who followed was speechless with laughter. The latter re covered his equanimity in time to explain gravely, when-called upon, that it was' one of the small bones of the human foot He did not add, however, that it was one of a handfnl which he had slipped into the first young man's pocket jx few moments before. The young ladies did not eat any more of the pop-corn. HOW TO PR0N0UKCE IT. The Facta Give No Encouragement to the Affected Pronunciation ol Vase. Youth's Companion. The poets give no encouragement to dainty people who pronounce vase as though it were written vaze or vauz. Thus Pope: "There heroes' wits are kept in ponderous vases. And beaus' in snuff-boxes and tweezer-cases." Byron supports Pope in these lines: "A pure, transparent, pale, yet radiant face. Like to a lighted alabaster vase." Moore, who was a very dainty gentleman, and associated much with the arbiters of fashion, has the following: "Grave mo a enp with brilliant grace. Deep as tho nch and holy vase," etc. Keats adds the weight of his authority: "Fair, dewy roses brush against onr faces. And flowering laurels spring from diamond vases." Notwithstanding these and many other examples in the poets, fashionable people in England universally give the word a broad pronunciation, not quite vauz and not quite vaze, but something between. Which shall we obey, Parnassus or Belgravia? Parnas sus, of course. FRENCH CROWN LINEN. Some Use In Homily From the Trade Point ofVIew. The representative organ of the blinch iseuses of Paris seems inclined to think that after all there is some use in royalty at all events from the trade point ot view, While lamenting the dwindling off ot the stock of official linen in Prance, the Bulletin states that at Fontainbleau alone were 1,000 pairs of sheets, 1,000 and odd dozen napkins, and 900 table cloths, The other royal or imperial palaces were even more liberally supplied. And beside all this there was the' Crown linen, which existed up to 1870, and generally included 5,000 sheets, a large number of bath-gowns, peignoirs, napkins and toilette covers, aprons, teacloths, etc., amounting in all to between 30,000 and 40,000 pieces, entailing a yearly washing bill of some 1,500. The Bulletin also furnishes us with the interesting details, that Napoleon T. in variably slept between Holland sheets, bnt strange to say his august nephew did not follow mon oncle in this particular, pre ferring ordinary linen sheets; Louis XVIII. and Charles X.,,on the other hand, could only repose between sheets of the finest of fine cambric. But, alas! the clorious days of official laundrydora have been banished by M. Carnot and bis predecessors. BLIND BILLY. The Wit ofa Bar Who Keeps a News-fetnnd In Nerr York. Mew York Tribune.

It read: TO THE PUBLIC: Blind Billy keeps this stand. And this stand keeps Blind Billy With your kind assistance. "Hello, Billy!" was said to him, "you're setting up lor a joker, are you, since I saw you last? With the aid of that not wholly original but highly appropriate sign, I sup pose your trade is going ahead at a rapid rate." Without the vestige of a smile Billy replied: "What good hre your eyes to you, after all, if you can't see that my business is at a stand still?' Even a blind man could see that." J. H.
