A\ THE OMAHA DAILY Bis: FRIDAY. A LITTLR QAME OF BLUFF. The Prossention in the Hoffman Case Try To Make a Showing, AS IF ALL READY FOR TRIAL. A Enub From the Court, With a Lit- tte Legal Instruction — Many Items of Interest ¥ the Capital. [FROM TITE BER'S LISCOLN BUREAT.] The southern brigadier who edits the State Journal in the absence of the rond commissioner has had more g than the small boy " drinking circus lewonade, over the Hoffman-Rosewater ense, and in lively terms of excellent joy does it portray and pervert the facts in the ¢ At the beginning of the vresent term of court, Mr. Sawyer, counsel for Hoft: man, had not filed his reply, which should have been done before the term. When the docket was ealled on the first day of the term, Hoffman's counsei asked for five days in which to file his reply, which time was granted. the counsel knowing full well that that virtually earried the cuse over, it being an admission that the lorscback secretary was not ready to meet the issne. By rule of the court this Joined the issues during the term, and the case was not for triul. This the counsel tor Hoffman very well kno! However, on Wednesday, just before time for court to adjour oon, Hotfmun's counsel who had previously had one of the Journal's best ' reporters placed in a convenient position, where he could gather the musical notes of the counsel elastic voite arose to announce his readiness to tr the cause which has so much interested fol some of the codfish politicians of the espe Ilfi‘- the governor and his horse guard. - The counsel know full well that erimi enses were to be taken up on the following morning and would occupy 1, and that the s could not be tried. 'After struming 21f for a few minutes endeavoring to swallow a gnat, Judge lhl_} ard ealled Hoffman's rto a halt by asking him if it was a fuct that he had to leave to file a revly at this term. Counsel snid it was. Judge Hayward then re plied “‘that a party in default could not compel o trial at the same time at which he, by permission of the court, obtained leave to tile a pleading which should have been filed sixty days previous. ‘I'he counsel for th ‘mrs« jockey thes subsided, more demolished than elated, and the Journal reporter proceeded to do Rosewater up. Hollman's couusel were very eareful during the term to make no 100ve in the case except to defer until they saw it could not be reached, and then their anxicty to try it could hardly be restrained, while the betlowing and puwing of the air by the Journal will not subside till they have been introduced to the clown in thie great double ring circus who will give them & new joke on bald heuds and show them how to ride a gift horse into the wilds of Missouri. WHAT PAUL I8 AFTER. It is not strange that James Paul with his friends should be secking the def of Auditor Babcock. Of course he peets to rise to the gov ) utting Bavcock in the tomb. It is hardly ikely that Paul can get enough trading delegations from the west to make him, with such men as J McCall and Gen- eral Thayer in the field, espeeinily when noboay but Valentine and Walt Seely are taking any oular interest in Paul. THE CRIMINAL DOCKET. Yesterday the criminal court began the 1 of eriminals, the first on the docket z ono Ryan, charged with forging H. . Luur’s name to a check for $30.

Nebraska City Press: A blight of the apple crop has been feared, but careful examination in several orchards con- vinces us that there no danger in this direction whatever. It is true that the “forming fruit” covers tho ground in many pluces, yet this will doubtless prove a benelit to the trees and give us nicer, smoother and better favored fruit and an abundant crop as well. Apple trees would not bear the burden of a crop such as the blossomed tiee indicated.

Only Mr. Parkham and I knew the combinations of the lock. Yet when I camen the morning it gone. 1 confess that my mind flew at once to Seipio. I ventured to hint this to Mr. Parkman, but I thought he would have knocked me down for the suggestion. *‘Scipio would die for me," he said.

Mr. Parkman was about fifty He had taken Robinson into his emplo; ment on the recommendation of the si- lent partner of the tirm, Mr. Oakes. He would be glad of some decent excuse to be rid of him, though the young man did his duty so well that no one could find fault with him, and was 8o polite that he could not be reled with, Miss Mm‘\‘ulc couldn’t Lelp liking him best, I should think, and_both wanted her.

Mr Parkman swore that he would find the rascal if he were nbove ground and abused the detectives for llmh' stupidity. At lnst, one day he called me nto his pri- vate office, und opening a squure hox, showed me something that puzzled me. *It's a thief trap,” eaid Mr, Parkman, Lot the thief get his hand into this and he'll never get it loose agnin without help. It will spoil his beauty, too, I faney.” ‘Then he locked the horrible box again and told me that hie should put it in" the sufe that nignt “Remember,” said he. anyore."

I hurried on my clothes, rushed to Mr. Parkman’s room and found his bed empty, und, expecting I know not what horror, made my way to the offtce. A man had been eaught in the trap, but it was not Seipio That poor fellow, howling and wringing his hands, stood staring over my shoulders. The wman at the safe was dressed in his might clothes He had sunk down upon his knees, and blood was streaming over his body. A moment more I bent over him and saw Mr. Parkhman himself He was not mortally wounded, and the first words he seid to me as he came to were these Hubbel, don't tell any one what a fool “not a word to until about 1 o'clock in n | was awakened by a nt, I)Hi where siderable cowage when the troes are laden with yung fruit to go over and pull ot and tirow away a considerable portion of tle fruit '0_one who has never tried it at first it would seem like a waste; yet it lus been tested sufliciently o prove its. viue, The work, ol eourse, should be: done D'y been. I used to walk in my sleep when a boy. 1 forgot that. 1 must have taken to it again. All the missing money, as well as the bonds, were found in an old hair trunk in the attic. Mr, Parkman said he was thinking about that trunk when he felt bl hatid had grippod and homd the ox- s\mlon, as he felt and heard things in reams; and when he recovered, which was not for many months, Robinsen and Miss Merivale were ied.

St. Paul Globe; As the warm evenings of the late spring and early summer ap proach the treacherous hammock is seen 1o emerge from its winter seclusion and to resume its whilom place on the porch or among the trees, When evening, with its sable mantle comes, one of Eve's fai est daughtors comes forth, s ed in one of her most bewitching gowns, and seats herself comfortably in the ham mock. Footsteps are soon heard coming nearer, and a young man makes his ap pearanee, accepts the profiered chair and phases the time of day. Coversation soon - vos the weather, and the last party or the opera, and becomes somewhat per: sonal. The hammock now looks irre sistible, the young man vearns to sh its inviting o, bt knows not how his re- quest will be received. Danger makes him bold, however; the rubicon is er one fell bound, and he finds him fields Elysian, where clover produ only four-leaved hlossoms. What tales of sentiment and taffy the hammock could unfold were it possessed of a tongu What a boon to spoony man and senti- mental woman that it is but the silent and dumb mimster te their airy talk and to their eyes. which say things not yet framed by the tonguce into words, The summers come nufi go; the birds build their nests for a season, hateh their young and ate off to other climes and other nes. he young man comes tarries awhile and is in tarn succeeded by another, but the maiden and hammock remain, id are a8 permanent as a the everlasting hills. History re- peats itself, so the scenes enacted in that hammock repeat themselyes evening after evening. Could they and the words often fraught with hope suppressed be caught and delineated an instan- tancous photography, atreat the would furnish the uninitinted. A m- mocek it a trencherous thing to sit in, for it has u habit of landing one in ungrace. ful attitudes on the ground. But when once a seat issceured with a fair damsel atone's side, what bliss! Then it is that the hammock proves itself a friend in deed. It Kindly insists that no nt space shall exist botween one’s sclf and companion ure abhors such vacuums, and nature’s laws must be obeyed, aven should & bashful youth and modest damsel find themself in such prox- imity to euch other that they can hear each other's heart beat.” What temptations then to suy unutterable things to a tair companion; bui s! the after efleets are worse than those of champagne. Things been said under the intoxicating influence of moonlight maid and hammock which will not the scratiny of sober daylight. The speaker wishes he liad a string on these thoughtless utterances that he might pull them back. Night comes again, the al- luring maid and hammock eause one to utterly forget his former rashness and the cheek that prudence in the morning had put on the tongue, and again he commits himself to declarations of a very airy and unsubstantial kind b A Miseries of a Humorous Writer, vxas Siftings, Being introduced as thy man who “geta all those funny things” in some paper he never con- tributed to.
