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.

A half dozen witnesses testified to the fact

that he was not thrifty and had borrowed
money from her several times. The jury

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

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

IiewYork Tribune .1
The vernacular of the Kentucky moun
taineers is very bizarre. A man who wants
to say he fired two shots, says he "shot two
shots." 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

When a man says that "his word is his

mountaineer's way of asking a stranger his
name and when one of them knocks at the
door ofa neighbor, and the question "What

two ydung mountain gallants illustrates
some of the peculiarities of their speech.

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.

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

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.

"By George! 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! The next wave moves

PECULIAR P0P-C0M.
It Happened to be One of tho Small Bones o
tlio Human Foot.
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.
