People'* Champion Kept In Quad.
May I call attention to the case of a
worthy man who is in prison for resist
ing the attempts of landowners to seize
and inclose the land of the people? The
case I refer to is that of the liev. F.
Haydn Williams, who is incarcerated in
Holloway jail, and has now been impris
oned for a whole month because he!
knocked down a wall which had been
built to incloso what had been from
time immemorial an open space, called
the Abbey plain, where the people used
to play football and other games.
The injustice of Mr. Williams' impris
onment is, that instead of being properly
tried and if it is found that he has done
wrong made to pay for the damage he I
has done to the wall of the lord of the |
manor, he has been sent to prison with
out trial on a charge of contempt of ,
court, and there he may remain month
after month, according to the caprice of |
the court of queen's bench. This power
of committal to prison for an indefinite
period on such a fanciful charge as con- i
tempt of court seems to me to be a thing
savoring of the proceedings of the court
of the star chamber, which was abolished
for its arbitrary acts by the breath of
popular indignation. In my ignorance
I thought there was passed by the repre
sentatives of the people, for their protec
tion from arbitrary imprisonment, an act
called th&habeas corpus act, which pre
vented a man from being capriciously
imprisoned for an indefinite time with
out fair trial if he has been guilty of any
crime. But here is a man—a gentleman
and a minister—being treated as if he
had been guilty of robbery.—Cor. Lon
don Chronicle.
Somewhat Eccentric.
A strange case of insanity has recent- I
ly come to light at Ballston. The un
fortunate person is Charles H. Morris,
thirty-two years of age and an expert
accountant. He has for a long time
been Jcnown as a man of many eccen
tricities, and has frequently been made
the object of practical jokes by sporting
men. It is thought that constant joking
and teasing have been a potent factor in
impairing his mental faculties.
He has several times lately left town
for a few days, sometimes 011 business,
sometimes 011 pleasure, and before leav- ;
ing caused to be published in the local
papers paragraphs to the effect that he
•'had gone to New York to attend a con
vention of the ragpickers at the Fifth
Avenue hotel." About two months ago
invitations were sent out announcing
that he was about to marry a well known j
young woman from another town. The '
invitations were liona fide, but on the
day of the wedding Morris remained in
town, denying that he had any thought
of marrying. He is considered a first
class accountant, and appears to be as
sane as any one except for these actions.

Oil is to be used as fuel instead of coal
in all the big furnaces at the World's
fair grounds. The exposition company
will pay the Standard Oil company sev
enty cents a barrel until 1893, and then
have the privilege of getting the oil at
the lowest market price, not to exceed
cents a barrel. The contract will
be for perhaps the largest quantity ever
sold to one consumer. The lowest es
timate that has ever been made of the
amount of coal that would be burned at
Jackson park during the exposition was
75,000 tons. On this basis 225,000 bar
rels of oil would be used, but it is prob
able that the amount will be largely in

Divorced for Telling: Ele*.
In the circuit court at Beatrice, Neb.,
Saturday, William Truesdale was grant
ed an absolute divorce from his wife,
Amelia. The petition reciting the
charges on which divorce was sued foi
is the most curious one ever filed in
court It recites the fact that the wife
is an incorrigible gossip, whose tale tell
ing propensities and penchant for gos
siping render life with her unbearable.
Truesdale avers that in the three year*
he has lived with his wife she has told
10,000 lies. "She cannot tell the truth," j
he declares in his petition, "and while
it Is in the nature of a disease, I believe
it incurable. Hence I ask relief in a
divorce."—Cor. Philadelphia Press.

Enterprise Aiuong Eiigllli Paper*.
The boat race between the representa
tive crews of Oxford and Cambridge is
■ rgwed annually 011 the river Thames.
• This year's race was noteworthy, not
only on account of the breaking of the
record in point of speed of the contest
ants, but as enabling the London press
! to carry out sucessfully a remarkable
! piece of enterprise.
| The London papers containing the re
j suit and full details of the race were on
j sale within four minutes after the Ox-
I ford crew had passed the winning post.
, The press boat as it steamed up the
Thames paid out a cable consisting of a
seven strand conductor, insulated with
vulcanized rubber, with warps and braids
of flax, which had been specially manu
factured for the puriiose. Over this ca
j ble the progress of the boats at intervals
of a few minutes along the entire course
was transmitted to the papers and pub
lished all over London almost as the
crews wore passing the points indicated.
: Immediately following the result there
was dispatched a complete description
of the race from start to finish, which
was in tho hands of the newspapers and
others provided with instruments long
before a single pressman was able to
land his "copy" from the press boat at
Mortlake, and also long before the
pigeons dispatched from the scene were
able to settle down in a homeward direc
tion. The instruments used were Morse
j sounders. The short description of the
race which was finally sent contained
over 150 words.—London News.
l'apcr Maker* to Stop for Awhile.
Representatives of nearly all the Hol
yoke paper mills that make fine writing
papers and one of the mills in Mit
| tineague and one in Westfield met in
this city Tuesday morning to consider
the matter of the annual shutdown.
These manufacturers belong to the tine
writing paper section of the American
Paper Makers' association, and a shut
down means a reduction of from sev
enty-five to 100 tons a day in the output.
It was understood that the mills would
shut down from July 1 to midnight of
July 11, although no formal vote was
taken on the subject. The Holyoke
mills will be forced to shutdown from
July 1 until midnight of July 4, as the
water is to I*3 drawn from the canals
during these days. The shutdown is to
enable the manufacturers to work off
the surplus stock, and is a little longer
than the usual summer vacation.—

A Long lll<le on a Snowbank.
j Friday morning as ten miners were
going from tho Eureka Mills boarding
house to what is called Rough and
Ready, with dinner pails in hand, to
begin their day's work, the soft new
; snow above the trail on flie mountain
side began to slide. 11l a moment the
men were being carried down the slope
with great speed. The suowslide sep
arated, one part carrying five of the
! men down a slope about 700 feet, the
other part continuing down about 1700
feet, leaping over a precipice probably
i thirty feet high and carrying the five
: 1 men with it. At different times all the
1 men but one were under the snow and,
I strange to say, but one man was in
• jured. It was first thought his leg was
broken, but we learn it was only
sprained and bruised. Another man
was almost smothered.—Pulmaa County

A Groom's Error.
A bashful and youthful bridal couple
from the rural districts had a painful
experience at Danbury circuS day. The
young husband wrote his own name and
his wife's on separate lilies of the hotel
register and the purblind clerk assigned
them to separate rooms. Each waited
for the other to set the matter straight,
but it was only after a terribly lonesome
hour that the bride plucked up her cour
age and her marriage certificate and de
scended to interview the clerk. She
held out the document mutely and the
situation at last dawned upon him. The
banished benedict was summoned from
his seclusion and the curtain fell amid
profuse apologies.—New Ilaven Regis

Flic* So Thick They Put Out the Eight*.
About 9 o'clock Tuesday night Battle
mountain was infested with a cloud of
tiny flies that drifted into the saloons on
Front street in myriads, in many in
stances darkening the rooms and putting
out the lights. When the jiests liad
passed away it was found that the tops
of the lamps were covered an inch and
a half deep and the lamp chimneys
choked. It would appear that these
minute flies were attracted by the lights
in the saloons, and in countless millions
perished.—Central Nevadan.

Prehistoric Giant*.
Near the Mediterranean coast, not far
from Nice, are some grottoes which are
! remarkable for the prehistoric remains
found in them. The value of these
grottoes us a field of prehistoric research
was recognized twenty years ago. They
were at that time purchased by Mr.
Einile Riviere, who, however, neglected
; to work them, and sold them again to a
i quarry master, who, on removing some
of the rock,' unearthed some of the re
mains. Since then the grottoes have
been in litigation much of tho time and
no one has been able properly to investi
gate them.
At present three skeletons found there
are figuring in the law courts. One is
of a man whose estimated height is 7
feet 9 inches. The head of tho skeleton
is missing. Another is the skeleton of a
woman 6 feet 8 inches tall, and the third
is the remains of a youth. These added
to previous discoveries make seven skel
etons of prehistoric men unearthed up
to the present time in these caves. The
Italian government has not attempted
to exercise any rights in the matter.
Up to 1875 Mr. Riviere had discovered ,
the skeletons of one man and two chil- j
dren, which were some twenty-nine feet j
below the level of the caves and were \
surrounded by undoubted paleolithic '
implements. The bed is a compact one !
of limestone.—Chicago News.
Wediled Over Her Mother's Grave.
The most unique marriage ever per
formed in Baltimore took place Mon
day within the boundaries of Green
Mount cemetery over the graves of the
parents of the bride. The groom was
Colonel Hendrick von Stamp, ex-minis
ter of Denmark to the United States, a
knight of the Order of Dannebrog, and
| the bride was Miss Mildred Hammond, j
daughter of the late General Hammond.
Six carriages were occupied by the wed
ding party, but tho vehicles were sup
posed to be a funeral cortege as they
slowly moved through the cemetery.
When the Hammond lot was reached
the graves were strewn with flowers
and the wedding was quickly per
formed, the bride standing upon the
grave of her mother and the groom
upon the grave of the bride's father.
The bride is of one of Maryland's oldest
families, being a remote descendant of
President George Washington. She is
forty and the groom forty-four years
old.—Baltimore Letter.
The Human Journey of a Lathing Nail.
About fifty-four years ago Washing
ton Mugahan, contractor and builder of
this place, was working at hiH trade,
that of a plasterer, in Blair county, when
he accidentally swallowed a lathing
nail. He was very much alarmed about
the accident at the time, but as he felt
no evil results from the extraordinary
diet, in the course of two or three weeks
he liad forgotten all about it. Recently,
however, Mr. Megaliun has felt a pecu
liar sensation in the palm of his left
hand, and one day last week he was able
to feel the outline of a small nail, and
then it was that he remembered having
swallowed the lathing nail fifty-four
years before. The nail is rapidly work
ing its way through the flesh of his
hand, and when it lias worked up under
the skin Mr. Megaliun will have a physi
cian remove it.—Somerset Herald.

Tho New Treanury Notes.
Perhaps tho principal object of the re
vision of the United States paper money
is to make the backs of the notes more
' open, that is, less covered with tho en
graving, so that the silk fibers shall bo
j more distinctly visible.
| The distinctive paper now in use no
; longer has the two threads of silk run
j ning longitudinally through the note,
I but in their place are two stripes, each
! half an inch wide or so, of short red and
j blue silk fibers scattered thickly in the
paper, in such manner that they show
only on the reverse of the bill.
I These two fiber stripes practically di
j vide the note into three sections of about
j equal size, and this feature of fiber in
| the paper is held to be an almost abso
j li&e safeguard against successful coun
; terfeiting. But that is only one of sev
i eral devices employed to insure the
inviolability of the currency.
Each note has an entirely separate
design, the work of which is so open as
; to show readily any error of an attempt
ed counterfeit, and no portion of the
design is repeated on tho same note; so
that no small part could be engraved by
a skillful oj>erator and then duplicated
by mechanical processes to till any
amount of space, as has been the cose
with some of the previous "paper mon
ey" of the government.
I The geometrical lathe work of the
new designs is said to be the most ex
quisite and complicated ever executed,
and such as to utterly baffle any at
tempt at its illicit reproduction.—Paper

ltougli on the Siiuke*.
Snake stories are always in order in
tho spring, and the latest one comes
from an interior town in Ohio, where
1 tho heat from the stove awakened the
reptiles and they commenced to fall to
the floor from holes in tho ceiling. John
Thompson, who lives in the Cheat river
country, was in the city yesterday buy
ing provisions for a lumber camp. He
tells a tale that is not unreasonable and
one can readily believe it.
The mountains along the Cheat are
famous for their blacksnakcs, and they
1 can bo seen at any time during the day
in the summer sunning themselves on
the rocks. Mr. Thompson says when
the weather suddenly broke up about
April 1 and led a number of people to
throw off their underclothes, the black
snakes awoke with a start, rubbed their
eyes and crawled out on the rocks to
stretch themselves. The sun was so
warm that many of them ventured far
away from their winter homes, and
when it suddenly got cold again the
snakes couldn't get back. Mr. Thomp
son claims he got tired of killing black
snakes which were so stiff that they
couldn't move. They were stretched
out on the stones, and were at the mercy
of the lumbermen, who amused them
selves making the flat heads of the
snakes more flat. This is a true story.—

A UouKiii'H Strange Heath.
Probably the most remarkable occur
rence ever known happened in Dawson
Wednesday. Martha Roundtree, the
well known negro woman who kept a
restaurant at the south end of Main
street, now occupies a grave at the ceme
tery, the result of a sneeze. The phy
-1 siciaus of Dawson say that they have
never heard or read of a similar case.
Wednesday tho woman, as well as usual,
was at the restaurant attending to her
work. She had just left the rear of her
eating saloon and walked to the front
when she was attacked with an exces
sive spell of sneezing and coughing.
She had been afflicted with hernia, and
tho strain was so great as to burst a hole
in her stomach. Surgical aid was called
in and her stomach sewed up, which
gave relief. She lingered
until late Saturday afternoon, when she
died. The victim of this remarkable oc
currence was a large woman, weighing
240 pounds.—Savannah News.
ltig Sheep Shearing.
Sheep shearing is now being pushed
rapidly, and most of the flocks in the
valley have been shorn of their fleecy

lead. They clipped 42,000 fleeces in six
weeks. The l>est record for a single day
was made by G. O. Meager and L.
Palmer, who sheared 155 each. Lane
will start in a few days for Flagstaff,
where he and his band have work al
ready engaged to last three months.
The clip this season is unusually good,
although the early winter drought killed
off a large percentage of flocks. Han

Centenary of the Guillotine.
Mnrderoro and cutpurses from the
dangerous districts about the Pantheon
and Pere Lachaise have been known Ul
compose and sing grinilj' humorous bal
lads in honor of the guillotine when in
their cups. These people will hardly,
however, go so far its to celebrate the
hundredth anniversary of the first execu
tion in Paris by the instrument of de
capitation which the "Constituante"
adopted on the motion or Dr. (Jhillotin,
who had seen the machine at work in
Italy. The doctor's idea in introducing
the bois de justice was purely philan
thropic, for he wanted to do away with
the slow tortures inflicted upon crim
inals. On May 27, 1792, the first crim
inal, a highwayman, was executed on
the Place de Greve, now the Place
de l'Hotol de Ville. This is the date
given by Larousse, but other authorities
state that Monday, April 25, was the
100 th anniversary of the first execution
by the guillotine in Paris.
In any case the terrible instrument
was destined to be busy during 1793 on
the heads of persons more illustrious
than the common highwayman named
Peletier. For this reason some of the
modern symimthizers with the Terror
ists, supposing them to have the blood
thirsty intention of celebrating the cen
tenary of the gnillotine, would be
inclined to fix the date of their com
memorative ceremony on Jan. 21 next.
There can be no donbt about that day,
as it would be the 100 th anniversary of
the execution of Louis XVI on the spot
murked by the obelisk in the Place de la
Concorde, as the spacious plot of ground
once termed the Place Louis XV, and
afterward tlio Place de la Revolution, is
nowadays known.—Paris Cor. Loudon

AflldavitH Accompany Thin Story.
Mr. John Oilier and partner were fish
ing with their large net on the beach
five miles below Pablo when they saw
an immense dark object about 100 feet
ahead come slowly out of the ocean and
walk leisurely up on the beach.
They at once started to capture the
monster, which proved to be a turtle,
the like of which was never Been on tho
bench before. It measured 7 feet 6
inches in length and 2 feet 10 inches
across the back. It had a beautiful
black color on the back. The belly is
spotted like a rattlesnake, and it will
weigh at least 800 pounds. The monster
was hauled up by Mr. Dutton's team,
and can be seen at the Arcade.
This no fish story, as will be seen by
the following affidavits:

Slavery In the Pacific.
That slavery still exists in the Pacific
is evidenced by the fact that the steamer
Moneserrat is fitting out for a blackbird
cruise, and will sail shortly for Gilbert
island, whence it will carry a hold full
of natives to work on the Guatemala
coffee plantations.
All this is to be done under the guise
of an equitable contract.
Last September the brig Tahite, load
ed with 100 Gilbert islanders, and noto
riously a slayer, was blown off its course
and put in at Duke's bay. Learning that
it was likely to be seized, its captain
put hurriedly to sea and the next that
wns heard of it was when sighted bot
tom up off the coast, all its crew and
cargo having perished. The samo have
planned the Moneserrat's slaving cruise,
hoping to recoup thomselves.
There will be no difficulty in getting
a cargo, as agents at the island are now
at work inducing tho nutivcs to sign
contracts.—Washington Star.
In ik Florida Garden.
Lovers of the beautiful, the beautiful
in plant life, should pay a visit to a
garden belonging to a private house at
the corner of Market and Church streets.
To say that it is a blaze of color is to
convey but a faint idea of it; scarcely a
bare spot of ground is to be seen for the
length of an entire block—roses, pinks,
calleopsis, phlox, pansies, sweet alyssuni,
all thrusting forward their claims for
recognition. But the crowning glory of
the garden is its poppies; surely such
popples never grew anywhere else than
right here in Jacksonville and in that
one garden. They are of all shades,
from delicate pinks to deepest reds, and
as double as it is possible for flowers to
lie. They grow from two to three feet
high and the flowers themselves are at
least three inches in diameter. That
garden is worth a walk to see.—Jackson
