Mr. Abbott, the husband of the defendant, is knowa to have gone to Burlington, Iowa, where Julia now tives, last week, and doubtless for this purpose. The action which has thus Been so summarily disposed of, was brought to recover 00 damages for njury to the kw on, name and char; of the plaintiff, Julia Abbott, by securing 4 negro, one Uharles Marshall, to com: mit an outrage upon her. The incidents in the case constitute one of the most startling and thrilling chapters in Ne- braska’s eriminal history. Julia, in her petition, which was filed April 28, 1881, swore that on June 14, 1883, she married Rollin Abbott, son of ~Alonzo Ab- bott, and step-son of the doten- dant Emma Abbott. The plaintiff'at that time was 19 years old and her husk 21, Mrs. Emma Abbott and her hus) Alonzo, it was charged, taking a dislike 1o the plaintiff, and wishing to estrange her husband from her, entered consy with . negro, Charl shall, to rape her, and then rep the intercourse was with her c On the 28d of July, 1883, the plaintifl: the negro Marshall did outrs ravish her, and the fact was repc her husband 1n such a way as to induce hm to belieye that she was a willing party to the act, causing him to I or at a tune when she needed badly his and financial aid hall was indicted and convi ime and sent to the penitentiary on a three years' sentence.

The failure to make the dismissal stand at that time d to be due to the neglect of the ested parties to pay over the satis- faction money which was alleged to be $1,(00. In the present instance, the plaintifi’s attorneys, although they have id all the costs of the legislation, and fmd the promise of their client that she would stand by them until they got their foes, have been again ignored and left out in the cold. 'The case was docketed for trial at the June 'm, and Mrs. Abbott that was, had signified ber in- tention of being on hand. Recently. however, it was learned that her second husband, & young German whom she married aftéer getting o divorce from Abbott on the ground of desertion, ob- jected to her coming here, and the com- Promise which led to the dismissal of the case yesterday wa: feeted.

Me Ohjects to Being a Wheel-Horse, and Tells of Wrongs That Must Be Righted. The following secret circular has been roceived by the Knights of Labor of Chi- cago, and will be read in the various as- semblies during the coming week: Nosre Orper o¥ THE Kxtaurs or 1 BOR, PHILADEDPHIA, May 3, 1830 the Order, everywhere, greeting: The response to the seeret cireular issued on March 13, has been so generous and the indorsement of the sentiments contained in it has been so unanimous, that I feel encouraged and strengthened in the work. arly 4,000 assemblics have pledged themselves to act on the Ivice contained in the circular of the 1th ult. I feel that it only requires the coming to the front of the real men of our order to set us right before the world. We have been losing ground so far as public opinion is concerncd for some time. One of the causes is that we have allowed things to be done under the name ot the Knights of Labor for which the organization was in no way responsi- of our members to Keep a upon the doings of the labor never labor, and when they charge anything to our order in your lo- eality, set the seal of your condemnation upon it once by denying it. If a paper criticises the Knights of do not boycott it,and if you have any such boycotts on remove them. A journal not long since mado some uncomplimentary allusions to the general master workuian of the Knights of Labor, and at the next meeting of the nearest ¢ motion was east to boycott the paper; not that alone, but every person who advertised the col- umns of the paper. L wrote to the as- king that they remove the boy- cott and it was done. We must bear in mind that our general mi is only a man and is not We demand for ourselves the right of free speech. We cannot consistently deny it to others. We must tolerate fair, open eriticism.

We are no more thesalt of the arth than the millions of unknown toil- ers who do the work of the® world. our dealings with laborers and capitalists we must deal justly and fairly by them. If we want equity done to us we in_turn must do equity to others. Thatis the aim of the Knights of Labor and must not be lost sight of in the future. Let me di rect your attention to a few I tind that wherever a strik peals for aid are sc among the assemblic cent for such purposes in future, un the appeal comes from your own distric ssembly or the general assembly, TE BOYCOT If boycott notices ont to you them.

Some assemblies send out documents in envelopes addressed to “‘Secretary of Assembly No, —.' In many places the secretaries have been discharged because of this practice. No member has the right to address another in that way, and if it is ever practiced again the oftender will be punished, b future the goneral executivo board must not be interfered with in the pe formance of its duty.

S M Hartells, in the Chicago Times writes: Nuggets are the delight of a minet’s heart. Somo protty big fellows have been found now and then,and thera is no good reason why gold picked up in chunks weighing one and cyen two pounds should not some day turn up in lumps and huge bowlder of fifty ponnds or morce. Such is the fascination of gold-finding that it has caused hundreds of men to give up home, friends, and kindred to spend their lives among lone- Iy hills and mountain gulches, and pe haps to die, as the saying goes, “‘with their bootson.’ As an old '49cr s "It's the fascination of it.

Then when you don't strike it rvich you always think you're going to next time, and it's just as ex- citing to hear other men tell in the evenm what they pulled out as it is countin’ over your own. Why, I've been three or four months at a time withont king a doilar and withoat a cent in pocket; but, gee whittaker! the ex- citemet of it don’t give a man twice to think how hard up heis!” The largest gold nugget ever found the world was discovered in 1858 in Ballaret diggings, Victoria, Austr and weighed 2,166 ounces troy. It ly pure gold, and sold for %48, This mammoth nugget was called the “Welcome,” and for many years was reckoned one of the modern seven won- ders of the world. ‘Lhe first gold di: covered in New South Wales was atre mendous nugget, and was found by s shepherd-hoy tending sheep. It was ge mass of quartz and gold, weighed about one hundred pounds. T boy, full of excitement, ran to his master, who hurriedly repaired to the spot, and they broke it up with an ax. It split nto three pieces, and out of the largest section was taken sixty pounds of pure gold. From the Vietoria diggings were taken muny fine nuggets. "Fitis colony sent, in 1862, to the London international exhibition an astonishing tower called the “Gold Trophy.” 1t was an_ obelisk ten feet in height, representing in pulk all the gold found in the colony for eleven ye: from 1851 down to 1863, Since the finding of the “‘Welcome” many other big nuggets have been picked upin various parts of the world, but none equal to the great wonder of Bal- laret. Two have been found worth $21,- 000, one $10,000, two $3,000, one 6,500, four $5,000, twelve worth from $3,000 to $4,000, and eighteen from §1,000 to$2,000. Cahforma must be credited with the greatest number of nuggets, the annals of old mining in that state during the last thirty yearss showing numberless others, besides some of the large ones above mentioned, worth from $100 to $500. One nugget was found in Snow- shoe guleh, in~ Montana, in 1865, which weighed 178 ounces and sold for 0. Another large lump of simon-pure gold was picked up in the summer of 1863, in Nelson gulch, worth $2,0; An Indian boy found another shining fellow in Serateh Gravel bottom in 1875, which brought him about one-third its value— 500. A Cheyenne buck came into y ar's store at Fort Keogh five ago holding in his hand a_long, -shaped pendant of the purest kihd of virgin gold, which he said he had broken off from beneath an ovcrlmngiu{z n the Big Horn mountains. He would, however, tell nobody the exuct spot where he got it from. How it came to be in_the shape deseribed it is hard to say. Probably the rock containing the gold was struck by lightning, which melted the gold, and it poured trom tho rock 1n a fluid state and cooled into a solid before falling to the ground. The Carur d’Alene mines in northern Idaho have produced some pretty fine nuggets. A large nugget, worth about $300, was found on the Lucky Baldwin and passed around the camps for weeks a f mple of what the new dig- gings promised. The Great Snowflake, composed of crystallized quartz studded with gold and broken from the famous Mother lode, was such a gorgoous sight that it was kept intact for’ a_long time and sent east to be placed on exnhibition, In one spot in the Ceeur d'Alenes a B4 nugget was first picked up and then a $5 piece. A few hours later a §200 fellow was found in the same crevice and then a $100 beauty was brought to the light of day. Two days after this remarkable find the goose fortune hegan laying again in the same spot, and before the nest was cleaned out, no less than 5,000 in dust and nuggets was taken from this one pit, which was about ten feet across. One of the best nuggets taken from the Caur d'Alenes was found on the Gillette elaim a short time ago. It was irregular in shape, nearly four inches long, three and a ha!f wide and two in thickne: It car- ried some quartz, but the gold in it weighed thirty-nine ounces, thirteen pen- nyweights and eighteen grains, The fornia was worth 50 conts, and the scconi $5. This irst little treasure is no larger than a pea, but it is perhaps the most e- markable picee of metal in the world’s history. It is the al glittering par- ticlo ‘that first c: > eye of Jumes Marshall in Sutter’s mill race in Califor- nia, thirty-n rs ago. That tiny glittering particle has added to the gold of the world nearly a billion and a half. ‘T'his historical nuggett is now among the collection of gems in the Smithsonian nstitute at Washington. The total production of gold in the world during the foury dending with 1835 was 10,306 tons, ‘equal in valie to $7,411,797,850. Valuing gold at $18 69 per ounce, a eubic inch of gold is worth a cubic foot 362,885, and a cubic 3 . A cubic foot of gold weigzhs 1200 oirdupois, and §1,000,000 would therefore be a little less than's cube of three feet. At the commencemont of the Christian era there was in the world oniy §127,000,000 in gold. At the time Awer s discov this had diminished to ,000,000. Then the new world opened up her vast tressure-vaults and a con- stant stream of weaith began pouring fourth which has not c 1 yet. Australia came to the front in 1852 3, and for awhile contributed lavishly. Where does all this gold go to?
