It conid not go further. Murder or disease has wiped out the justice, the lawyers, the prin- cipals and the witnesses, and in some cases all their children. There is no one left to go into ambush—no one to come riding along and topple off his | horse a corpse at the report of the shot- | gun loaded with slugs. —Chicago Times. TERRITORY TO THE SOUTH. Why It Is Undesirable for Annexatien to the United States. The acquisition of territory to the south of us would spring, not from the feeling of naturally belonging together, but the desire on our part to gain cer- n Francisco, are the champions in @ tain commercial advant to get peculiar line.

It had been thought that the water was toocool, but there are places where it is warmed by the Japan cur- rent which modifies the temperature of the Pacitie coast more than the gulf stream does that of the Atlantic coast. The Alaskan oysters are pronounced a very superior variety,much better than the small oysters grown near the coast of California.—American Cultivator. —Excellencey now applied to am- adors. It was formerly a royal tit‘e and during the middle ages princes were sometimes put to death for trea- son because they assumed this title. it was first bestowed only on the am- bassadors of monarchs and denied to those of a republic, but in the seven- teenth century, Venice, after an im- mense amount of correspondence, suc- ceeded in obtaining it for her ambassa- dors, and since then it is applied to all envoys.” —The supreme judicial court of Mas- sachusetts is to decide whether a cred- itor who invades a debtor's bedroom und wakes him up early in the morning in order to present his bill is guilty of an assault. The aggravating party in the dispute is a milkman and the ag- grieved person is his customer, who sayS that he forbade the milkman to invade his privacy, and was awakened by being shaken by the shoulder when suffering froma severe headache. The lower court entered judgment for the milkman and the plaintiff appealed to the full bench of the supreme court. —Several wild turkeys that had a love for swallowing shining particles that had been shot by a hunter’on one of the branches near San Diego, Tex., netted him quite a handsome stim in gold, which he found in their craws, that they had’ picked up. In South Africa ostriches have been successfully employed in finding gold deposits. A drove of the birds are turned loose to feed in the territory where the precious metal is supposed to exist. They are then given an emetic and the ejecta carefully examined for nuggets, and if any are found the trail of the bird is -followed until the diggings are discov- ered. —How time is passing in all parts of the world is the interesting story which every day was told by twenty-two clocks in the terminal building of the world’s fair. These clocks have been set up by an enterprising New York clock company and are every day in- spected by hundred of curious visitors. ‘The records made show that when it is 1.30 in New York, Chicago timekeepers 0; San London, 6.5 Buenos Ayre: say 12.30; Paris, ¢ Francisco, 10.3!

The United States coinage of 17 very rare and a dollar of the year has often sold for as much as $100. A 1796 half-cent is so rare as to sell read- ily for $15, and a half dollar of the same year is worth sixty times its orig- nal value. While the half-cent of 1804 is common enough, all the other coins of that year are rare, the dollar of that particular date being the rarest of all American coins Only eight are known to exist out of the 19,570 that were eoined. The lowest price that one of these now changes hands for is $800. —A great international concert at Festival hall was an attraction ar- ranged by the world’s fair managers. Irish vocalists and harp-players came from Blarney castle; a trio of Sw yodelers and a player on the eight-foot 8.2 Alpine horn; a company of Javanese | musicians with their curious instru- ments and Col. Sliney’s troupe of Chi- nese actors and jugglers entertained the audience in turn. The Indians in- vited to take part had partaken so freely of ‘‘fire-water” that they were not presentable, and the brothers from Dahomey decided to stay at home and gather in gate-money. . About eight thousand people were in the audience. —The varieties of sleigh bells this season will be larger than~ever and manufacturers cater more to luxurious tastes) As one can now pay $0 or more for a whip, so ean he give $40 for a body strap of bells. For that he can getastrap covered with Alaska seal- skin, with sixty silver, brass, gold or nickel bells, the metal not being, of course, So precious as the names indi- cate. Somewhat cheaper straps, are made of beaver or mink, wool seal, kangaroo, ooze calf or Persian lamb.

Cuba, so they tell us, possesses rich natural resources worth having. It is in the hands of a European power that may, under certain circumstances, be- | situation, would push us| h is espee come hostile to us. It is only a few miles from the coast of Florida. It “threatens” that coast. It ‘‘com- mands” also the Gv'f of Mexico, with the mouths of the Mississippi and the Caribbean sea. Its population is dis- contented; it wishes to cut loose from Spain and join us. If we do not take Cuba “some other power will take it.” That power may be hostile. Let us take itourselves. What then? Santo Domingo is only a few miles distant from Cuba; also a country of rich re- sources; other powers several times tried to get it; if in the hands of a hos tile power it would ‘threaten’ Cub: it also “commands” the Caribbean sea; the Dominican republic, occupying the larger part of the island, offered to join us once, and will wish to do so again; to acquire the Haitian republic we shall have to fight; it will cost men and money, but we can easily beat the negroes. We must have Santo Domin- go. Puerto Rico will come as a matter of course with Cuba. The British pos- sessions of Jamaica will still be there to “threaten” and ‘“tecommand” every- thing else. It will be difficult to get it and the other little islands from the clutch of the British lion. Thus all the more necessary will it be to have possession of the mainland bordering and ‘‘commanding” the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean sea on the western side. We must have all the ‘‘keys” to the seas and to the land, or at least as many as we can possibly get, one to protect another. In fact, when once well launched on this course, we shall hardly find a stopping-place north of the Gulf of Darien; and we shall have an abundance of reasons, one as good as another, for not stopping even there. | —Carl Schurz, in Harper's Magazine OVER Al BILLION DOLLARS.

The benetits ' are shared to some extent by adj&cent \ | street, but it is doubtful if a fair and practical apportionment of the cost could be carried beyond the border line, though the justice of this restric- tion is almost intolerably strained when one paved street is compelled to | bear the travel that would pass over | others if put in equally good condition. All caleulations of the economies and | profits of paved streets fail to encom- pass the sum of gain from them, be- | cause there is much involved that is | intangible in character. The benefits consequent productiveness resulting from good health, the saving of ex- penses for medicines and the profes- sional services of physicians; the pro- longing in some cases of lives that might suecumb to the deleterious in- | fluences inherent in bad streets—all are incalculable; nor can be estimated the far-reaching results of the re- tarded development of a city due to failure to provide good streets. The common mistake of regarding the cost of a street pavement as a merely luxu- rious expense, rather than as a profita- ble improvement, has, more than any thing else, deferred the work of put- ting the roadways of our cities and towns in proper condition, and, it should be added, has hindered progress and prosperity immeasurably. It has also had a mischievous influence. when coupled with false ideas of econ- omy, in causing mere cheapness in cost to become with a deplorably large | number of people the main desidera- tum when they find that paving cannot long be deferred. A reeord of the failures that it has inevitably led to since the beginning of experiments in} roadmaking would tell about all of the history of paving that is worth know- ing.—Century. i | property which may not abut on = tb. | | of better sanitary conditions, with the | American | is 43 years old. 22) grand children, 16 great grandchildren Mr Warti’s wife died in i890 at the ripe old age of Sf years Supreme Court Matters, | Jefferson City.
