MILLER GETS TS DAUGHTER A Long Oontinued Litigation in the Federal Court Ended. A PATHETIC SCENE ENACTED. The Little Girl Clings Fondly to Her Grandparents, Who Are Forced to Give Her Up— Other Conrt News. The United The long cont States Court. ned litigation inthe United States district court for the possession of little Kvelyn Miller was concluded yestor day, aud last night the little brown-eye child was lulled to slecp by her grandpare; for perhups the last time on earth, her father, Lowis 3. Miller, of Oxfo will take her to his tne Buc state. The history of the case, which is miliar, will, however, bear cight years Mill daugliter of us. resu home in marriod Little When ago Bu of the union. E seven months old and sl was given in charge of her grandparent who have kept her cver since. As the baby face developed the features of the angol mothier grew more distinct and thoe hearts of the old people grow sblter as they daily gazed upon the miniature of the daughter who was dead. With a care seldom equalled and never excelled they ‘watched over the httle tot, who 1o a_snort time became the queen of the household and the idol of the nelghborhood. Tiien came the father with a demand for his child, He had married againand wanted his little girl. The old folks ovjocted. They had become 80 attached to their darling thut wney could not give her up, Miller invoked tho aid of the law. rom the district court the case came tothe Unite States court, Kvery kuown proc of law was resorted to by the attornoy who con- ductod the case or the gravdparents, but to 10 purpose. The case was decided in fayor of the father, and yesterday afternoon Judgoe Dundy decided that Milier should bave his child, No man was ever more heartily c by an audience than was Miller afternoon by the throng that packed the court room. All the parties interested, in- cluding the child, were present, The little one sat in her grandmother's lap crying piteously, while the old lady’s tears mingled with hers. While apparently strugeling to control his emotion the old man was unable to do £0 and down his furrowed cheeks the pearly drops trickled like rain. The scono was pathetic in tho extreme, and but fow in the court room were frée from mois . Murmurs of disupprobation went around the room and many were the indig- nant glances cast at Miller. Finally Mr. Lambertson, the attorney for Mr. Burrus, arose to make a last appeal. He wished, he sad, to submit the proposition to the court. The cuse was ye in the court's hands and would be until the finul order was sigied. He bad one favor to usk in be- half of the bereaved grandparents. Kor years thoy had watened with jealous caro over the little girl. I'heir heartstrings wero twined around her. She was their idol, their joy, thewr hope, and to totally resign her would cust a shadow over their lives which time could never afface. In little Evelyn they recalled one who in duys gone by hud gladdened their home, Her fuco awakened memorica, sad but ever pleasant, of the daughter who was called from earth to the fairer land beyond the shining battlements, and who had left her picture in the person of the little one. Therefore he had one boon to ask. Would the court, i the order for the child’s release to her father, make one pro- vision, Lu-wit, that the child be sllowed to visit he dparents cach year for three or four wi t It was a small favor toask. The attorocy for Miller did not object. Judge Dundy decided that he | to make such an order. In rendering the de- cision the court stated that throughout the trial of the case ho had been interested in behalf of the grandparents, and that he deeply sympathized with them in their af- fliction. " That as a court he was willing to take any action to lighten their burden of 8Orrow, but that in this caso he could not wake the order requested. Ho argued, however, that as a proviso the grandperents should 'be allowed to see tho child ut all tines, und the case was con- cluded. Miller wanted to take the child and leave on the 4 o'clock train, but his attorney ob- ected. The little one had by up the night fore,was completely worn out, and needed slecpn He must wait until today, ‘fhen the old couple led her away. She shrank from her fatner as she passed him in the hallway, Last night she slept for the last time ov earth, perhaps, with the aged puir who nave 80 tenderly cared for' her. ‘Today she leaves for a strange land to mingle among strange faces with a father she never knew, and thus the matter ends. ‘The strict letter of the law nas been ad- hered to, but tonight there are several ach- ing necarts in Nebraska, and at least one howe in the prairie state 1s uesolato, THE POLACK CASE. Johnson of the Polack Clothing company was on the stand yestorday after- noou 1n the United States court, 1he attor- ney for the insurance company submitted him to a rigid cross-examination, and at times hud bim considerably worked up. - Johuson denied everything statod by Wit- mness Fisher a fow days ago, which was pub- lished in Tne Bee. He said the check given hin by Polack for $5 was not ‘“hush money," but sulary due. The witness also assorted that he never made any demand on Polack for mouey for kuu\llna still, and as- serted that when such o thing was proposea he merely supposod that it was a scheme to Kot $5 or 10 out of Polack for o good time, The witness denied making sny damaging admissions to A. M. Kitchen or other insur- ance agents, but adinitted that he had asked one nan if there was $3,000 *in it Said he never said that be knew enough to send Polack to the pemtentiary and denied say- ing that ho knew more about the fire than Fisher or Jenkius.

Giles, his divorcea wife, came up « for hearng before Judge Clarkson, Giles seeks possession of bis nine-year-old son. Last July Mrs. Giles was divorced from her husband, but there was no provision made for the custody of the lad, then nearly nine years old. The parents separated and the boy has been with the father a part of the time and with the mother & part of the time since, Mr. Giles 18 a traveling man and Mrs. Giles has moved to Omana. Tues- day Mr. Giles came to the city and took out parers for the posscssion of the boy, He states in the petition that the mother. Mrs, Giles, has guined the custody of the child surreptitiously and uas for ten days been depriving the boy of his liberty. When the aeputy sherift went after the lad, Mrs, Giles was thrown into a great state of agitation. The little fellow cried Dbitterly over the prospect of being suatched from his mother, and the lat- ter deciared that she would uot give him up; that the father had not supported either her or the child, and had no moral right to his custody. The evidence was all subwmitted and the arguments postvoned until Monday, E. W. Reeves, Cornelius Christian and John Tuylor have brought action against the villageof Floreuce for the retention of cer- tin lots fenced in by them, us well as cer- tain streets and alloys, was decided in Judge Wakeley's court. On' the villages attempt- ingto oust them they set up the plea that %y the statuto of hmitation thoy are eutitled to retalo possession of these lands, The court rendered a Judgment in tayor of the village, holding that the enclosed lots had not been iwmproved by either the erection of buildings or the planting of trees or shrubbery. Also that the streols fence in bad in thé original I:;t been dedicated to the village and had D accepted ana that no permission had been Tnmlad 10 any one to enclose these lots, The city had allowed these partios 1o veeupy these lots towporarily only, und therefore tho statute of Lunitations did not apply to the cuse.

A small Scotch terrior belonging to a man who lives near one of the Scranton hotels got in the notion early in the summer of following the ho%el omnibus to the railrond stations, He came near being run over one morning, and after that the driver scared the dog bacl whenever he started to tag along alter the vehicle. There was a good hiding place under the hotel veranda, and init the dog kept shady untii the dviver had mounted his seat. Then he stole out, and before the omnibus had got fairly under way hopped upon the rear step and hung like a nailer as the omnibus jolted aund rushed over the rough wooden pavement dewn to the station, Before the driver had time to get down the dog was mingling with the crowd, where he stayed until the driver was ready to start back, when he souglit his pum:i)x again, The cunning animal had done this a number of times before the driver found it cut from a geutleman who had been watching the dog, and it pleased the driver 80 much that he let the dog have hisown way after that, and the interesting brute "continues to ride back and forth on the step. e As a delicate flavor, delicious and refresh- ing, Cook's imperial champagne takes the lead.

We had heard that Manoel Travassos, 1f he could be found, might be induced to put us up for the night; his house, consid- ering it was in a crater,wasamo st sub- stantial looking place of entertainment. While one of our men searched for him —for it was obvious that the visits of Manoel’s guests were like those of an- gols-—we explored the little village. The place seemed wretchedly *poor, many of the adobe huts were iu tuins, and the rest were hardly weather tight. The sound of the quern within, the crackiing of the bushwood fires, and the thick white smoke coming from the doorways, showed that the people were busy with preparations for the evening meal, Mauy of the older houses are actually in the lake, and graneries stand in places which must be covered with water duriug the winter rains. The dwellers in the Sete Cidades bave evi- dently a hard struggle for existence, saysa writer describing life in the Azores. During a considerable part of the day tho sun does not shiune into the basio, and consequently their fruits and and corn are seldom properly ripeued.

A species of bat is considered good eating by the natives of the islands of the Indian Archipelago, Malabar, etc. it is called by naturalists the edible bat, und is said to be white, tender and deli- cate, but for all thatitis a hideous beast like a weasel, with a ‘ten-inch body, covered with close and shining black hair, and with four-feet wings, when stretehed to their full extent. In some countries even the fox is con- sidered a delicacy; in the Arctic regions, where fresh meat is scarce, when judiciously made into pie, it is considered equal to any rabbit, under the same conditions, ever bred on the Sussex downs. But, strange to say, the Esquimaux dogs, which will devour almost anything else,will not touch fox, COuts and dogs readily find purchasers and consumers in China,where they ave hung up in the butchers’ shops,together with budgers—tasting like wild boar— and other oddities of food. In the South Seas, too, a dog is a favorite dish avd a uppy stew is a royal feast in Zanzibar; Eul is only fair to say that where dog is eaten it is especially fattened for the table, and fed only on milk and such like eleanly diet. The Australian native dog, or dingo, is eaten by the blacks, but by no one else; and a Soath Africian will give a cow for a good-sized mastifl, The American panther and the wild cat of Louisiana are said to be excellent eat- ing; 80 is the puma, which is so like veal in flavor that one hardly knows the difference, Lion’s flesh, too, is al- most identical with veal in flavor, taste and texture, Bear’s paws were long a Germun delicacy; and the flesh is held equal or superior 1 pork, the fat being as white ns snow. The tongue and hams are eured, but the head is aceounted worthless and thrown away. The badger tastes like wild.boar; the Australino kangaroo is not much in- ferior to venison, and kanghroo tail soup is better than half the messes which pass in London under the name of ox-tail soup, Hashed wallaby is a dish no one need disdain, and there is asmall species of kangaroo as good as avy hare ever cooked, An Austrwian native banquet 15 an odd mixture, Kangaroo and wullabies, opossums and flying squirrels, kanga: roo-rats, wombats and bandicoots repre- sent the pieces de resistance; write rats, miee. snakes, snails, large white mag- gots, worms and grubs form the little dishes and most favored entrecs. A nice fat marmot is a troat not? Thoy are pure fecders. The muskeat of Martinique is eaten, though indeseribably loathsomo to & Luropean; but the sleck rats of the sugnr cane plantations make one of the most delicate fricaesces imaginable; so tender, plump, cleanly and luscious are they.

The teunk is said to resemble a buffalo’s hump: and the fat is highly prized by the bushman that they will” go al- most any distance for it, Hinpopotamus fet is also considered a treat; when salted it is thonght superior to our best breakfust bacon; and the flesh is both palatab and nutritious, the fat being used for all the ordinary uses of butter. a fine fa- and Hottentons the Hudson Bay pine & it A STATUE SEIZES A THIEF. The Queer itecord on the Parish Reg- isters of Cracow, In Cracow, as in Prague, the most prominent object is the castle, standing on n hiil above the broad river, Bat radschin of Prague, though 1t has 0 usod s a palace, looks like ; while the Zamek of Cracow, though it has been ®onverted by the Austriaus intoa barrcack, still looks like a castle. And Prague has no such monument of patriotic devotion to the memory of its greut men as the simple mound, surmounted by a granite slab bearing the name of Kosciuszko, which was erected in 1824, on a hill opvosite the Zamek, by the pious hands of Poles of all classes with earth from the hero's battlefields in America and Poland, The mound is 120 feet high, and from it there is a view tull of grandeur and interest: the tumuli of Krakus, the founder of the city 1,200 years ago, and of Vunda, his daughter, who drowned herself out of grief at the sufferings of her country, devastated by the troops of a (ferman prince bucause she had re- fused his offer of marriage; the ancient castle, with churches and houses clus- tering round it; the winding Vistula the Polish mountain frontier, the Carpathians; and the rich Galician plains, extending in gentle undula- tions to the fur horizon. In the chureh of St. Francis of 2 si there is a statute of Christ ns to which there is a singuiar record in the parish rvegisters of the year 1735, One night a thief entered the church to steal the of- ferings of gold and silver which had been placed on the altar by persons who, afteryappealing to the intercessions of the saint, had recovered from various diseases supposed to' be incurable. As the thief was stretching out his hand w take ono of these objects, the statuo seized him by thé arm; he exerted all his strength to free himself from its grasp, but in vain, and he was found by the vergers next morning almost para lyzed with terror and exhausted by his gruasome night vigil, The matter was at once reported to the magistrates who met in council and condemned the man to death for sac lege. But when the hangman came to conduct the man to the place of execu- tion; he found it impossible to release him from the grasp of the statuc; the magistrates were again called up and after much consultation they decided to cancel the sentence, as human justice had no right to interfere in a matter which God had so evidently taken into His own hands, and Christ in his mercy not having inflicted any further punish- ment, it was not for them to do so. They accordingly signed a decree par- doning the criminal, upon which the hand of the statue opcned and the man was sot at liberty. The hand is still open, as if it had grasped something and then let it go. ——— Liquor in France. France is going to put an increased tax upon strong liquors as a means of checking their sales as much as pos blo, The present ministry is very much in earnest in the matter, and means to carry through the reform while the country is in good humor over the suc cess ol the exhibition. The Germans will be sufferers by the axation, if it becomes prohibitive, for they manufa ture most of the villainously impure li- quor which is drunk by ihe Belgians and the poorer ses in northern France. 2o = Champagne Will be High. The price which will have to be paid for 1889 champagne will far exceed any thing yet experienced—at any rate, is good wine, if there is little of it. Two ~threeof the leading shippers acting independently of the rest of the trade, have purchased as 1auch as thoy could possibly secure of this year’s vintage, giving prices equivalent to $11to $13 per dozen for the raw juice—the high- est ever paid ip the history of cham- pagne—und theiraction has irrevocably established the price.

Kent Advertiser: Mrs. Maplehue (sweet little creature) informs us that e a misdenl last week when we tho phrase, *from text to doxol- She says that in_every preach- ery where a fly dominie runs the bank tho latest improvements in worship are worked and the doxology pre- cedes the text. Tho fact is we rely upon our wife for pointers in these matters and she admits that Mrs. Maplehue made a winuing on that bet, and that the dox- ology 15 always dealt out before the text is turned. The mistake wuas one for which our wife was to blame, as she should have taken pride in giving us the straight tip. Her neglect looks too much like ringing a cold deck on a sucker; but as we are the editor wo cheerfully forfeit our chips and do not squeal. We admit that we are to blame. When we used to keep cases at a gospel joint the game wasn't played that way} but we will never drop any more boodle on that card, We have been in town only ten days, and already our warm friend Spiog Magin, the veteran mixer of the-hole- in-the-dark suloon, intimates that it is time for us to whack up and give our score on his books a blight. We would like to inquire if this is the usual prac- tice of the community?

We will certainly not sub- mit to be bulldozed by Mr. Splog Ma- in’s duns, or even annoyed by his hints, We are destitute of wealth; but we will maintain our dignity of untar- nished, Mr. Van de Vanter, pater, pass2s the hat at church with such patriarchal dignity, such persunsive, powerful, solemn, silent smile that you run your arm down umong your duds and dig up a quarter when you intended. to donate a dime: and as it drops from your fingsor you reflect: “There goes three good comfortable smokes!” Minute Cir The smallest circular saw in practical use is a finy disk about the size of a shilling, which is employed for cutting the shts in.gold pens.
