The testimony showed that the affair was entirely accidental, and the jury returneda verdict exonerating the driver. Ax Action To Recover Possesstos or Reat Estare.—In the Court in General Term the case of George N. Beale agt. G. W. Brown et al., was heard yesterday. This is anaction to re- cover possession of undivided half of lots 9 to 14, square 275, which belonged to Thomas B. Brown, who died September 21, 1838, in Lagay- ette. Ind. Brown was an uncle of complainant's wife, and claimed a half interest, but she was unaware of her interest till March, 1884. It was then found that in 1842 the ground was sold for taxes, and was bought in by O. B. Brown, the grandfather of the parties. The trial below resulted in a verdict for plaintiff, and the case Row comes up on exceptions. ————— Tae Youxe Mex’s Democratic Civs.—At a meeting of the Young Men’s Democratic Club, last evening, a letter was received from Jas.

Green Morris had no excuse to offer for the horse. He said he was as good as ever in his life. To most ple it looked very much asif Favor caliel cad wouldn't try ayard. Neither Governor Bowie nor his trainer thought much of Vosburg, but then he is just the sort of horse to come out and win when no one thinks anything of him. Young Hayward rode a good race and his run just exactly at the right time. BADGE’S FINE PERFORMANCE. The Finality handicap resulted in a grand race and it proved Badge one of the best little horses in training. One hundred and twenty-eight eee on his back on paper looked like enough break it, but afterirunning under a good strong | for seven furlongs he came on and, wearing efence down, won a well-ridden race by a length. Byron McClelland backed his colt, but at the same time was afraid of Boaz, but it seems Mr. Burch’s ill luck is to hang to him for awhile longer, as Boaz quit badly after goin; about half a mile. Defence ran a ve: good race for seven furlongs, and when in different company he will do to back. There were half a dozen good things in the selling race, and it was a long time before the talent could make up its mind what toback. Mr. Walden thought My Own had agreatchance. Gov. Bowie liked Bellwood because he had beaten Vosburg in their work a day or two before. Carroll thought Lakewood had a great chance, and Honig thought it was a real good thing for Lafitte. The public, however, made Drake the favorite, and he rewarded them by winning, but only after a hard fight with Lafitte. Mr. Sheridan made his first bad start of the mect- ing in this race, and came very near making a resent of it to Lafitte by letting him off two lengths in front of his field. But one bad start out of twenty-five good ones can be excused. THE STEEPLECHASE. The steeplechase was avery good one, but Elphine didn’t run nearly so good a race as he did last week. He tired badly after going a mile, and it looked as if he had been indulged abit. However. as he had 160 pounds up, it was hardly possible for him to win. When Mr. Dundas, a gentleman rider, appeared on his horse, Simmsvilie, the crowd jeered him some. | | An oid horseman standing near the rail re- marked to a Smr reporter: “They needn't laugh at Mr. Dundas, for he is not only one of the best gentlemen riders in this country, but he is as good, if not better, than any man riding in that race, and I fancy if his horse stands up he will be there or thereabouts at the finish.” Mr. Dundas rode a good race to where his horse fell, and was then in a good position—a close third. The horse fell, by the way. at the jump where Harry Harwood met his death last year. Neither Mr. Dundas nor his horse was injured. Transfers of Real Estate.

A Verpict Acainst Ex-Cottector Coox.— The case of F. A. Koones against John F. Cook, ex-collector of taxes, was tried before Judge Cox in the Cireuit Court yesterday—Messr. E. A. Newman and A.

The bank failed May 31, but the check had not been presented.

From Forest and Stream. Kamschatkan dogs are probably the most sagacious of all feral types, and are employed and trainedin the most careful manner for the multitudinous services required of them. Soon after birth they are placed with their dam in a deep pit, that they may see neither man nor beast, and after having been weaned are condemned to solitary confinement for six months, at the end of which time they are put to a sledge with other and being ex- tremely shy and frightened withal, they run as fast as they can until they become blown and cowed. After this trial trip they are re- manded to their pit, where they remain, off and on, until they are er ired and sledge- broken. The severe education sours their temper amazingly, and makes them anything but companionable. Drivers are frequently obliged to stun them by a blow on the nose be- unharnessing fore them Pees hangars of — sa nature.

Last night, about 8 o'clock, a party of boys went through Marion street throwing bricks at doors, One of the missiles struck Thos. Weaver, | a lamp-lighter, on the head and he fell to the | ground. The boys were not satisfied with 4 knock#hg him down, but they grabbed him and would probably have dragged him through the street had not Mr. Keese arrived and placed one of the boys, Geo. Meyers, under arrest. The boys then determined to resist, and two | revolvers were drawn by them, but were not | discharged. Policemen soon arrived and the | boy was taken to the station. The injuredman | was removed to a drug store, where his head was dressed. He was afterward removed to | Freedman’s Hospital. A charge of assault | against the boy was continued in the Police | Court to-day. Florence Graham, a young col- | ored girl, who enjoyed the evening thie | | flour on other persons, was arrested at 13th ani *M streets by Officer Blaisdell.

From the Boston Herald. The professions to-day are,indeed,over-crowd- | ed, and many of ovr young men are turning their | backs upon them for an industrial career. A | | gentleman prominently connected with the In- stitute of Technology said: “There is a general | belief that a young man who enters this or a | similar school in preference to receiving aclass- ical education, sacrifices, for the sake of prac- tical knowledge, a mental culture and develop- ment which he could only get through a classi- | | cal education. Now, in my mind, this is not at | | allso. I would send my child to an industrial | | school in preference to Harvard or Yale, if my | Sole object was that he should simply get the est possible mental training, irrespective of ny use he might ever make of it. e fact is, | ducation calls out the powers nite | as much as any other kind of education. do | not wish, since I have no incentive in the first | place, and it would ill become me in the sec- | | ond, to give any opinion as to the desirability | of a classical as compared with an industrial | | education, any more than I have already given by saying that an industrial education gives as | high a degree of mental discipline as can be | got anywhere. I mean to say that it is not my Lr to declare that a young man will stand a | etter chance of getting a good iying if he leads an industrial career than he will if he | enters one of the learned professions. As jan attache of an industrial school, this would | be unbecoming in me, even if I felt qualified | to pass judgment upon this point, which I do not, since it is not my place to keep posted on the demand for young men in either of these two branches. “If I were thinking of studying law I would | not go to a lawyer for advice, but to some man | with a broad range of view, who conld give me unbiased and dispassionate advice, and for the same reason I would recommend you, for in- formation regarding the success ‘of our stu- dents, to the down-town engineers, architects, electricians, &., men who see more of the | field than I do, and who can speak more freely than would be becoming in m upon subjects to which I have devoted my life. The main thing for a young man deciding upon his ca- reer is to be careful and choose something for which he has an aptitude. I would rather a son of mine would receive a given amount of education on the line of his tastes than that he should have five times the amount applied to a faculty which is almost dormant within him. The thing for the young man to do is to de- velop himself along the ‘line of least resist- ance,’ as we say scientifically, and that is along the line of his tastes. If this be done his work will not be irksome to him, and work which is irksome is seldom well done. It will be, rather, a delight, and will cause him to fol- low his pursuit with a persistency which will guarantee success,” ——— 00s Severe on Sackville. JUDGE THURMAN’S SPEECH AT NEWARK, OHIO.

SOME INTERESTING FACTS RELATED BY HON. - BOYD WINCHESTER, From the Louisville Courier-Journal. Switzerland has the finest syste of public schools in Europe, according to Mr. Winches- ter, and the people take great interest in its work, which has resulted in elevating them to the highest standard. ° The Swiss boys and girls enter school when six years of age, and leave it when thirteen, The teacher differs little from the pupil, and they participate alike in the games and pas- times, as well as learn together. There is no discrimination between the rich and poor chil- dren, and they attend school and associate with each other. The schools are free, and each child is compelled to attend. Whenever weal- ssf parents send their children to private ools they are requested to furnish a certifi- cate, saying that the child attends the private school regularly. At the age of sixteen the child is supposed to be fitted to enter upon a non-professional life. Pupils must study thirty- four hours per week at school, and in addition have lessons to be prepared at their homes, e rules are strictly enforced, and when- ever apupil disobeys them by not attending school their parents are fined, unless in case en an excuse is accepted. The | teachers receive their pay by the year, and | their salaries continue whether the school is in | session or not. Their compensation is small, the salaries of the teachers of the city schools being about #600, while the pay of those teach- | ing in the country is only half that amount. Pictures and objects are used to represent what it is intended for the pupil to learn, and conse- | quently makes a better impression upon the scholar’s memory, and their advancement is much greater. There is but one federal school in Switzer- land, and it has become famous for the great | good it has accomplished, Every man must contribute a part of his sti- such an interest do the people take in their | disobeyed.

SOME CURIOUS BUT RISKY EXPERIMENTS MADE WITH PRECIOUS STONES. From the Jewelers’ Weekly. Many people believe that a diamond can be heated white hot in a good fire with impunity, but I wouldn’t advise them to try the experi- ment too often. I have seen diamonds which had passed through the great fire at Chicago. | They were covered with a white film and looked pieces of alum, After passing through the polisher’s hands they were apparently as good as new, but I still fancied that there was a cer- tain loss of luster and feel sure that a second heating would have made this still more plainly perceptible. How high a heat will rubies and sapphires stand? Well, I've carefully heated some dark-colored yl yeas and been rewarded by seeing them cool off several shades lighter. Upon the color of others heat made not the least impression. I was obliged t® be very careful in heating and in letting the stones cool, as any sudden variation in temperature will split them in a moment, Topaz I have destroyed entirely b: heat, and rubies are also oats ruined by ahigh temperature.

In the outskirts of the city where physicians are called | upon toattend poor people, they often share with the druggist, which is the only fee they get. Another in- stance where the druggist divides with the doctor is where some miserly patient. who is abundantly able to pay the fee, pleads extreme poverty. Then the doctor rises to the occa- sion, and in writlng the prescription inserts a role eee that is understood by the draggist, and the miser pays his doctor bill without knowing it.” ——— Clean Hands. According to the fearful experiments of Dr. Foster, of the Italian Medical Gazetle, there is no such thing as the pobility of clean hands on anybody. Washed with soap and with car- | bolic acid, with any and all the disinfectants in common use, our hands will still remain scien- tifically unclean; that is to say, that a prepara tion called sterilized gelatine, destitute of liv- ing organisms, on being touched by the fingers thus washed and sup; d to be clean, imme- diately develops living organisms acquired from the fingers. But if the hands are washed ina dilute solution of bichloride of mercury or corrosive sublimate, one part to one thou- sand of water, perfect cleanliness is at- tained, and no living organism will be developed by the touch of the fingers. It is pitiful to think that we are really so palpably made of the dust of the earth; but it seems that we must endure it, since corrosive sublimate can hardly be made the adjunct of our daily toilets, and if it were, then the next time we shook hands, or took upa book, or went into the street we should but develop a fresh crop of micro-organisms. The fact is that these dis- coveries of science show us, if they do nothing else, how fearfully and wonderfully we are made, and if we regarded them seriously there is nothing we could eat and nothing we could do which would not make death seem to hang imminent in the air, There is one refuge for the unscientific, and that isin whistli the whole matter down the wind, keeping clean to the best of belief, and thus taking care of one’s self, letting the micro-organisms take care of themselves, The 5 cents per ton advance in the wages of the’ railroad miners takes effect to-morrow | skies era the bituminous coal mines of the United States.

Carannn Is.acomplaint which affects nearly everybody, more or less. It originates in a cold, or succession of colds, combined with impure blood. Disagreeable flow from the nose, tickling in the throat, offensive breath, pain over and between the eyes, ringing and bursting noises in the ears, are the more common symptoms, Catarrh is cured by Hood's Sarsaparilla, which strikes directly at its cause by removing all impurities from the blood, building up the diseased tissues a@{ giving healthy tone to the whole system. STUFFED-UP FEELING. “For several years I have been troubled with that terribly disagreeable disease, catarrh. I took Hood’ Sarsaparilla with the very best results. It cured me of that continual dropping in my throat, and stuffed-up feeling. It has also helped my mother, who has taken it for run down state of health and kidney trouble. I recommend Hood's Sarsaparilla to all as 8 good medi- cine." MRS, 8. D. HEATH, Putnam, Conn. FOR 25 YEAES. “For 25 years I have been troubled with caterrh in the head, indigestion, and general debility. I con- cluded to try a bottle of Hood's Sarsaparilla, and it did me so much good that I continued its use till I have taken five bottles, My health has greatly improved, and I feel like a different woman.” MRS.
