Mexico, No., March 23.—The sale of Joo Thompson (colored) did not take place to-day as advertised. A few minutes before the sale Attorney ‘Geo. Robertson had a writ of ha- beas curpus served on Constable Bunton, which stopped the sale. The case is set by Judge Edwards for next Thursday Constable Bun ton employed W. W. Fry, who will attempt to show cause why the sale must take place. . A good deal of feeling has been worked up over the sale of the ne gro vagrant Hardin last Tuesday and this community is opposed to | the law which disposes of vagrants in this manner. It has been settled that the constitutionality of the law will be tested. It is said that the money was furnished by the colored citizens to buy Hardin, and that he will be free as soon as the amount paid for him is worked out. The habeas corpus proceeding will be watched with much interest. Pub lic sentiment was expressed through- ly to-day in the fact that no one ex- cept alarge crowd of sehool chil- dren was at the place disignated for the sale. A Cow That Gives Black Mitk. Chillleethe, (O,) Special, Robert Hansborough of this city is the owner of the “eighth wonder of the world,” a cow that gives coal black milk. The cow is a mixture of Jersey and Durham and was rais- ed on the Hansborough farm, as was also her mother and many sis- ters, none of whom exhibited any peculiarity in the color of their milk. Mollie, as the phenomenal creature is called, has reared five or Fix ealves, all of which have lived and grown fat on the black milk The milk produces a fair amount of cream. This cream is a tritle lighter in color than the milk itself, | and when churned makes a kind of butter that resembles a thick mixture of eal _ tar. able as though of golden yellow,and it is said to be highly relished by the whole Hansborough family. At first, when the peculiar color of Mollie’s milk was discovered by the person to whom was allotted the task of “breaking the cow iv,” the ‘family was afraid to use it in any way. When they saw that the calf was waxing fat on the liquid tar the | younger members of the family over- came their prejudices and within a few days the milk was being used just the same as if it had been the regulation color. Chemists of New York, Washing ton and Richmond have analyzed both the milk and the butter, but declare that they can detect nothing that in any way accounts for its col- or. ‘ $100 Reward $100.

I have a friend who will have a case before you, and he ‘wants to arrange it.” “Well, Pll tell you. If he is from New York he will have to put ina petition and get it passed on.

But if he is from Kansas just tell him to come in some time when the court is in session and hold up a finger, and I will adjourn long enough to accept the invitation, and then he | can come into my court and practice all he wante to.” There was a general smile, and the lawyer looked unaccountably em barrassed.

A SICK MAN'S TERRIBLE DEED In The Delirium of Fever He Kills His Friend and Drives His Wite Insane. Bardstown Ky., Mareh 23.—Dua ring last night at Bioomfield while deiirious, suffering from pneumonia Josepb Houston shot and killed Allen Murphy, a business man and friend of the sick man Houston made av attempt on the life of Murphy's wife. Her screams attracted the attention of Murphy who was first to reach Houston's room, and as he started towards the sick man Houston diew a revolver and shot him dead. The combiued strength of four men was neccessary to overpower Houston and after being taken back to bed the invalid went to sleep, During the night Houston's condition be- came worse and the doctors say be will die as a result of expenditure of strength and exposure.

A Vessel Which Was Completeiy Severed in Two. On the 22d of last June the German steamship Trave and the ship Fred B. Taylor were in collision about one hun- dred miles southeast of Nantucket, and the Taylor was completely cut in two, so that the bow and the stern parts of the ship floated apart. This was a suf- ficiently singular occurrence in itself, but the subsequent behavior of the divided halves was more singular still. Being in a frequented part of the ocean, each part was hted more than a Score of times by passing vessels within a few weeks after the accident, and the compilers of the pilot charts at Wash- ington have taken advantage of the fact to carefully trace their course. Contrary as it may appear toall prob- ability, the severed parts of the wrecked ship immediately began to drift in op- posite directions. ‘The bow started off toward the southwest, while the stern drifted toward the east. Finaily the bow began to follow the outline of the coast, keeping about a hundred miles away, its course turning rapidly southward to correspond with the sharp bend in the coast-line at New York bay. On August 26 it was a hundred miles east of Cape Henlopen, having traveled some four hundred miles from the spot where the collision occurred. In the meantime the stern, after start- ing off toward the east, turned north- ward, passed Boston a hundred miles off the coast on July 9, and having ap- proached within a few miles of Matini- cus island, sheered off to the west and went ashore on Wells’ beach on August 7, the length of its wandering course being about four hundred and fifty miles. Why did two parts of the same ship thus move in nearly opposite directions when cutasunder? Theanswer throws an interesting light upon some of the peculiarities of the ocean. It appears that the shape of the stern portion of the wrecked vessel was such as to present a much larger area to the wind than was presented by the bow portion. The latter was comparative- ly little influenced by the wind, but obeyed the drift of the ocean water. Wail Paper!! 2,000 ROLLS IN STOCK.

DRUMMOND, sidered, cannot be underreached. North Main Street, Butler, Mo. Between the gulf streamand'‘the Amer ican coast there is a current of relative- ly cold water flowing from the north, and it was this current that carried the bow of the ship down along the coast toward the south. The stern, on the other hand, rising higher out of the water, was seized by the winds, whose general course was northeast and north, and they pre- vailed over the ocean current and sent the stern drifting in a direction oppo- site to that taken by its severed mate: The sudden change in the course of the stern, which sent it straight from the vicinity of Matinicus to the shore below Cape Porpoise, indicates, proba- bly, a corresponding change in the di- rection of the wind. These wanderings of the fragments ofa wreck were not, then, as lawless as they seemed. There was, indeed, no chance about the matte Bow and stern each obeyed its controlling force, so that what at first sight seems to have been a strange freak of the elements appears after all, only as the inevitable result of the operation of natural laws. —Youth's Companion.
