"" The Globe will present its annual review of the business of St. Paul for 1881 upon the last day of the year, as is its usual custom. This review can be made much more complete and satisfactory by the active co-operation of the business men of the city in giving infor mation. As representatives of the Globe call for statistics they should receive prompt re plies, as the work is so great it will be almost impossible to make repeated calls. These annual Globe reviews have become an important business feature of the city, and as the matter is a public one and not a personal speculation the general co-operation of those possessing information is earnestly desired and confi" dently expected. There is a hitch in President Arthur's construction of his cabinet. He has del egated to Gen. Grant executive power in making, at least, one cabinet appoint ment. Gen. Grant has two men in view, and seems as yet, unable to decide be tween them. These men are Gen. Beale, and the rich ex-Senator Chaff.cc. Gen. Beale is, in a limited sense, Grant's host ler; that is, he keeps and takes care of the ex-president's Arabian horses, the present of some foreign potentate; and Chaff ee's daughter married Grant's son. The question of the relation of the one or the other is a perplexing one. If Arthur would give him two places in the cabinet, the knotty question could be at once solved. But this is not convenient; and Grant stands, like the starving ass, equi distant between two bundles of hay with will so equally balanced as to be unable to choose either. Hence the painful hitch in making up the stalwart cabinet. THE GOKDrir BTAIRS. Recently Governor Foster of Ohio and the state •fficials at Columbus made a visit to the Ohio State university. The governor addressed the students, and gave them some political hints of notable significance. In substance he said: "It is probable that man}- of you have politi cal ambitions, and look forward t& active careers in public life. Let me. as a publir man, admcnish you, before you enter politics, to make yovrselven wealthy, for no poor man can afford to take t7ie rit&t thai Tie must take tn'cnip.r polities." This is directly suggestive of a privi leged class. This leading idea in tke governor's speech is doubtless cherished and acted upon by many, but is not so publicly and boldly avowed. The gov ernor presumably proclaimed the axiom of his own political career; but such an open avowal of it this Republican gov ernor would not dare to make, did he not feel sure that it is in harmony with the views and actions of his political party. It has been charged, but not before so readily admitted, that there is an aristoc racy of wealth that seeks t© make a corner in politics, as well as in business and commercial affairs. By this rule, poor men, however great their worth or talents, are to be precluded from political preferment. In the lines of Pope, slightly changed, "Wealth makes the man, and want of it the fellow, The rest is all but leather or prunella." The theory and the boasted glory of our institutions has been, that every ave nue of advancement and preferment is open alike to the poor and the rich. Merit and not money is the standard. The boy, born in the log cabin, and trained in the common schools, has as direct a pathway opened to him to the highest positions, even the Presidency itself, as the pampered sons of wealth; attainment and advancement only being conditioned on merit, worth, character and ability. But all this, the very genius of our institutions, must now be changed according to the rich and astute Governor of Ohio. Up the golden stairs, alone, can the gateway to preferment be reached. This is a pernicious doctrine and i s credit to the official who gave it utter ance, or to the party whose representative lie is. Get wealth, and then go into pol itics, if ambition points in that direction, and purchase position — that is the naked doctrine, stripped of all its glosses. What chance is there for the meritorious citizen of little or no wealth, to make headway against this powerful political factor, the lucre of the rich? With this theory in vogue, what chance has the poor man, with nothing but his admit ted fitness, his worth and stainless char acter to commend him, to obtain a nom ination to office, or, if nominated, to be elected! The old philosophic theory: "Corruption wins not more than hones ty," is reversed, and wealthy corruption ists rule the hour, while "honesty" bites the dust. THE STALWART PROGRAMME. A letter in the New York Sun, written by a half-breed from Syracuse, discloses the existence of great dissatisfaction among the Republican masses at the de feat of Hiscock for speaker, and they at tribute his defeat to the machine bosses, whose influence elected Keifer, of Ohio, in order to have a representative in that state, as the nucleus of a stalwart administra tion party to take the state away from Garfield Republicans. The bosses, says the letter, are mortally afraid of the free influence Ohio exerts in the Republican party. They hate and fear Sherman, Foster and Hal stead. Now that Arthur promises them a stalwart revival, they feel the necessity of hav ing a representative in Ohio. They have picked out Keifer as the most available man to organ ize an adminis'ration party in Ohio. He is a weak, superficial, and narrow man, but even that is a sort of advantage, for the bosses don't want the sj>eaker to be too cunning. They want a man who will give a good deal of scrupulous attention to the division of pat ronage, work tractably in the harness of the machine, and not spend any time trying to elect himself president. Keifer answers the bill very, nicely. The writer of the letter plaintively and despairingly adds : "All this, I am afraid, means a Democratic President in 188o." It is quite likely the fears of this distressed letter-writer may be rea lized. There are untold numbers of Repub licans who would much rather see a Dem ocrat elected President than to see the stalwart machine bosses triumphant, and the unscrupulous stalwart dynasty of Arthur, Grant, Conkling, Cameron, and other unsound politicians of that stamp, perpetuated. HAM-STRIXGIXe HAM BROWNE. A. Scandal Case in Dcs Molnes, lowa, of Interest in St. Paul. Residents of St. Paul, in the years 1870-71, who were in the habit of indulging in the flow ing bowl at times, will remember Hamilton Browne, who was at that time connected with a high-toned drinking establishment on Third street, near Wabashaw. In the mutations of business Browne went into bankruptcy, and finally left the city, locating at Dcs Moines, la. How he has been getting along there may be judged from the following special to the Chicago Times from that city, under date of the 16th. "The attention of the Polk county circuit court has been occupied with the libel case of Miss Sadie Coons vs. J. W. Hayes. The evi dence was concluded yesterday, and to-day has been taken up with argument of counsel. The facts elicited were that Mr. Hamilton Browne, a real estate dealer and prominent man of this city, became acquainted with Mrs. Blum, and through the latter with her sister, Miss Sadie Coons. The acquiantance grew into intimacy of a charater to create scandal, arousing the suspicions of Blom and exciting the apprehen sions of Mrs. Browne, finally resulting in the s^aration of the former from his wife and the procurement of a divorce. The Browne household, although united in form, was sep erated in fact, Mrs. Browne asserting her in dependence, remaining mistress of her house, and refnsing to admit her liege lord to tke se clusion of her chamber. J. H. Hayes, a druggist in East Dcs Moines, took a hand in the affair, and indited sever al scandalous epistles, charging Sadie with being a girl of bad repute. Some of these let ters came into the hands of the plaintiff in the case, who thereupon brought this action. The testimony has been adverse to the plain tiff. He acknowledged that she had almost con stantly associated with Browne, addmitted he had supported htr and her sister. Mrs. Blom, nearly ever since the latter had been divorced; that after they had removed to Minneapolis he had frequently visited them; that he sent their piauo to them, shipping it first to Madison and having it forwarded hence, to throw Blom off the scent; but that all these little attentions were only prompted by disin terested friendship on the part of Browne, and that the thought of anything but innocence never dawned upon their child-like simplicity. Her story was remarkable, as tending to show how virtuous a woman can be who tries real hard, and it was wonderfully well substanti ated by the testimony of Browne himself. The other witnesses, however, failed to put this novel phase upon it, and could see nothing in the physical composition and make-up of the plaintiff and the principal witnesses different from those of ordinary mortals. RUX OVER. \ Young Man Man Has a Narrow Chance for His Life. A terrible accident occurred in the Sixth ward about 4:15 o'clock yesterday afternoon, resulting in serious and perhaps fatal injuries to a young teamster named Edward Graham, employed as a driver by Chas. Witherell. At the time of the accident young Graham was ngaged in hauling stone from the quarry for i new foundation. H»vinp l<»a 'ed his wagon with rock he took up his position on the front of the load, and had proceeded to a point not far distant from the Farmers' Hotel when the load was jostled forward, and before he had time to jump it slipped from the wagon, precipitating the rocks and the driver onto the horses. Un fortunately Graham became entangled in the lines, and before he could reiease himself the horses started, drawing the wagon over his person: The wheels passed partially over his neck, arms and shoulders, breaking the right arm, and inflicting injuries which will probably prove fatal. One of his legs was also injured and he was badly used up. The horses started pell-mell down the road but had not proceeded far before they plunged over a twelve-foot bank. The harness was cut and they were gotten out not greatly in jured. Officer Distler, who saw the accident, ran to Graham's assistance and he was carried to a drug store where he was attended by Dr. Mc- Donald. His injuries are considered very seri ous. A buggy was procured and Graham was taken to the residence of Mr. Witherell, where he received the best of attention. His two sisters were notified and are in attendance. PERSONAL. J. C.

New Stone and Brick Facilities— The Fa mous Smells of the Du m pint Ground. At a meeting of the chamber of commerce yesterday Mr. J. F. Tostevin spoke of our re sources <n the way of stone or brick. He had been the first to introduce Easota and also Frontenac stone. Last fall he had his atten tion called to the Dresbach stone (located twenty miles below Winona) samples of which were en the table. He. described the nature of the quarry and also the character of the olay which is adjoining the quarry and adopted to making pressed brick, samples of which he also had on exhibition. He had bought nine acres of the quarry, and were preparing to supply the market for next season's business. He claimed it to be equal to any sandstone found anywhere. The matter wes referred to the committee on manufactures. Dr. Day moved that inasmuch as the news papers had stated that the St. Paul & Manitoba railroad contemplated removing their shops, the executive committee be requested to in vestigate the matter. Carried. DUMPING GBOUND. Mr. E. J. Hodgson lrora the committee on health, submitted a caustic report, which he had designed to present to the committee. The report was recommitted to the committee, with instructions. It was as follows: Gentlemen of the Health and Sanitary Com mittee : In compliance with the general order from headquarters, I made a forced march up on the dumping grounds on lower Third street on Thursday last. I was not aware of the ex act location of the enemy who was partially ambushed, and met him at much shorter range than I had intended. I was surprised and bad ly repulsed — I may say, utterly routed. How ever, I soon managed to secure my lines of re treat, and fell 4>ack in comparatively good or der, considering the strength and suddenness of the attack, and immediately proceeded to reinforce myself for a more successful engage ment. I first took the precaution to be vac cinated in thirty-three different places with both human and animal virus. I also inocu lated the stomach and digestive organs with five kinds of liquid virus for the strength ening of the mental, physical and moral powers. I visited all accessible ren dering establishments, tanneries and soap fac tories, and thoroughly fumigated myself in the various odors, perfumes, scents and smells which are produced with such luxuriant and bountiful profusion at these places. I found this excellent treatment for tanning, hardening and rendering insensible the olfactory nerves, as well as the external membranous covering of the body and inter nal mucous membranes. Among the sup plies and ammunition procured for the second engagement, I may mention three dozen bot tles of campnor, four barrels of chloride of lime, two tons of assetitidae, and all the 40-rod whisky in town. The attention of the city au thorities is called to this latter fact because the city will be totally unprotected until a new supply is procured, and the ma chinery of the city government will be apt to run dry. Thus armed, I approached the ene my with more caution than before and by the skillful handling of my forces I am enabled to report a most complete and s ignal victory, having held the field long enough to make a thorough inventory of the spoils, which I may say as the most utterly spoiled lot of spoils which was ever deposited. I traversed the field with the wind, in order that I might take in more gradually the pelrefied exhala tions that are concentrated at this point. The first thing that met my horrified olfactories was a cart load of rotten eggs, which forms one end of a winrow of delectable stuff, such as offal from slaughter houses, garbage from kitchens and back yards, decayed vegetables of every kind and species that Minnesota soil can produce or Minnesota energy import. Proceeding, found little mountains of rotten mackerel, cod-fish, herring and other species of the finny tribes. In fact I think every kind of carrion, in every degree of corruption can be selected on this field. Here and there stands little conical shaped ash eleva tions, which impress you at a distance as be ing in the nature of deodorizing oases in this desert of loathsome rottenness, but as you ap proach them you observe the heads of defunct dogs and cats projecting from their sides and staring at you with horrible grimmaces. Dead chickens, ducks, geese and pigs are among the spoiled spoils of this expedition, which cover the field in rank profusion. Then there are various combinations and groups in this museum of unstuffed and uncemetreried corpses. A dead cat and dog, a huge rat, and an ox head form a picturesque and interesting croup, if you could only spend the time to examine it from the various points of observa tion, but you feel that time is precious while on this ground. The peace, the calm the bormony of the scene are complete. The attitudes may be a little objec tionable, but the stench is absolutely perfect. The only really delightful and lovable sight on this consecrated ground is the great pile of horse manure, which has probably been taken down to sweeten the seething mass of corrup tion, in pursuance of the suggestion made here ' some weeks ago by Mr. Drake, to the effect that this product is healthful to the smell, whatever it may be to the taste. I wish to say in all earnestness, that what I have said is no exaggeration, that it is indeed far ehort of the actual state of affairs. If any man will go there, on a warm day, I will gaur an tee him a specimen of every stench that ever smote a nostril or sickened a 6tomach. If such be the state of affairs at this time of the year, what will it be when the soft spring rains shall have moistened the heap, and the glad rays of the sun will call forth from their lurk ing places the unnumbered and innumerable stenches that lie ready to leap forth with dis ease and death on their noisome and fetid breath. Mr. Nicolay renewed the proposition for auction sales of real estate in the chamber, but, without action, the chamber adjourned. The Concert This Evening. The sale of tickets yesterday for the concert to be given at the Opera house, this evening, by Miss Pauline Nininger, was large enough to be gratifying to the personal friends of the lady and to the friends of music in St. Paul, and also to ensure a full and fashionable house. Miss Nimnger's associations with St. Paul are such as to have created a common interest here in her musical successes in Europe, and will help to give her a cordial welcome home on the occasion of her first public appearance since her return. She is to be assisted this evening by Mrs. Eve Lamprey, Miss Clara Barden, and Messrs. Wilrich, Wood and Buck elew, and the programme promises a very in teresting concert. ON CHANGE IN CHICAGO.

The Trout Brook Lake Upon Mayor Rlce'i Homestead Let Loose by a Break In the Dam. At an early hour yesterday morning the residents along the banks of Trout brook be low the dam upon Mayor Rice's hemestead, were thrown into temporary consternation by the sudden appearance of a great volume of water rushing down the channel of the stream and overflowing its banks in many places, to the Mississippi river. The flood was caused by a break in the dam at the mouth of the lake created by its erection, and from which a race-way or flume, conducted water to the city flouring mill, owned by E. Langeyin, corner of Trout Brook and Lafayette avenue, and other manufactur ing establishments in that vicinity. The pond or lake created by the dam, cov ered about six acres of territory. The recent mild weather had filled the lake to fljod height, the pressure upon the dam being in creased by the solid coating of ice, from three to 6ix inches in thickness covering its surface, and resulting in undermining the foundations of the dam, which finally gave way, precipitaliig the huge volume of water into the valley be low. Fortunately the valley below the dam is of considerable width, so that the released water ran off and finally found its way into the Mississippi river without doing any great damage. Beveral hundred feet of the race leading to Lindeke's and Langerin's flouring mills was broken down, necessitating a suspen sion of operations for two or three days, and inflicting a loss of probable between $500 and $600. The coal platform of Smith & Lewis , was swept off; loss $75. The engine room of the Anchor Manufacturing company was tem porarily flooded, loss nominal. A number of small houses in the track of the rushing waters, were temporarily flooded on the first floors, and a wagon and buggy, and other articles in exposed positions were swept off, but nearly all were recovered, but slightly in jured. The the damage will reach.it is thought, . roui $1,000 to $1,200. The dam was built ten years, and has withstood all the floods during that time. It will cost about $200 to replace One of the losses connected with the break that cannot be estimated- in dollars and cents, is that of the large number of fish in the lake, it being well stocked with trout, bass, shad, etc. After the flood had subsided, the banks along its track were lined with different varie ties of fish, the common varieties being most numerous, in gather ing up v which and carrying away to their homes, an army of small boys were engaged for the greater part of the day. Another loss, not measured by dollars and ctnts, is to be found in the fact that the lake afforded the only good skating in the city at this time, for which purpose it was resorted to by large numbers of lads and misses every week day evening. OF INTEREST TO LAWYERS. New Bales Adopted Governing Practice lm the United States Circuit Court. Upon the opening of the United States circuit court yesterday morning, the following rules of proceedure were announced: That the cases at law commenced ia a state court in which summons is served thirty days before the first day of the succeeding term of this court, and which are afterwards removed to this court, shall stand for trial at said term, unless cause for continuance or remanding be shown; and in such cases if issue was not joined in the state court, the parties shall join issue within five days from the said first day of the term.

HEW CORPORATTIONS. The St. Pan*, Minneapolis and Chicago Railway Co., H. Bf . Smyth's Printing Co. and a Catholic Benevolent Society. Articles of incorporation were filed yester day with the secretary of state as follows: Of the St. Paul, Minneapolis & Chica go Railway company. The declared ob ject of this corporation is to construct and operate a railway from Minneapolis, in an east wardly and southerly direction to the eastern boundary line of the state in the county of Houston. The general offices of the corpora tion are to be located at Minneapolis. The capital stock is fixed at $4,000,000, t0 be paid in cash or its equivalent in labor or materials for the construction and equipment of the pro posed railway. The names of the incorpora tors are M. J. Briggs, A. Jenks, C. J. Thomas, Andrew Eulbery, and Thomas Kennedy, of Dodgeville, Wis., said incorporators com prising the first board of directors. The H. M. Smyth printing compauy is the name of another new corporation, the ob ject of which is to conduct a gen eral printing, bookbinding and pub lishing business in the city of tot. Paul The amount of capital stock is to be $15,000. The incorporators are Henry M. Smith, Robert E. A. Withey and Richard W. Johnson, all of St. Paul. "The Saint John Roman Catholic Benevolent society of St. Paul," is the name of a corpora tion created for the purpose of establishing a fund for the care of sick and destitute mem bers and for extending aid to the families of deceased members.

The officers of the society are Mathias Krenik, president; Thomas Herof. vice president; Frank Honsa, secretary, and V. Huna, treasurer. The Social Evil License. When the case of Kittie Smith, charged with assault and battery and also with keep ing a house of ill fame, was called in the po lice court yesterday, it was evident that com plications would ariße owing to the clash of authorities on this old and wearisome social evil question. Mr. Eagan insisted that the warrant should have been drawn upon the charter and ordinances. To this Mr. Murray objected. The latter said he was sick of this -pecies of blackmail, the state had stepped in and they must furnish their own evidence. As long" as the state assumed to deal with ihese cases the city would leave them alone. It was about time there was some understand ing about the matter. The city would only regulate the houses is case of disturbance, but would not prosecute them on the charge of keeping a house of ill fame. Mr. Murray takes the sensible view that as long as the city exacts fines from the women, it cannot prosecute them for carrying on the evil. The assault case was continued until to-day and the state cue to the 23d inst. A Horrible Tragedy. New York. Dec. 19.— This morning Menzel Felix, a german carpenter, and for six months a confirmed invalid, hardly able to stir from his bed, beat his wife's brains out with a mal let, and then took his own life by cutting his throat and afterwards hanging. Both were dead when found by the police. The couple have not been married a year.and in a few weeks Mrs. Felix would have become a mother. This morning Mrs. Felix visited the police station stating that her husband was sick and asked to have him taken to the hospital. The sick wagon was sent for, but before it arrived Menzel had killed his wife and taken hi* own life. Jealousy. BUMBLE OF THE BAILS. The Pennsylvania Trains— Northern Pa- Paclflo OfflcUls In Towa— A Dying Rail road Man— The Northern Pacific's Gen eral Agent at Chicago— The New Union Depot Regulation— Two Boys from Way Down in Texas. General Manager Haupt and Supply Agent White, of the Northern Pacific, will leave for the East Wednesday noon by the 0., M. & Bt. P. Vice President Oakes, of the Northern Pa cific, and his traveling companions were guests of Gen. Myers, department quartermas ter, at Fort Snelling, yesterday. Operators of the Chicago, St. Paul & Omaha line reported light rain yesterday at Omaha and Elroy. A St. Paul operator cheerily responded: "Cool, bracing weather." Gen. A. Anderson, chief engineer of the Northern Pacific is in the city, registered at the Metropolitan. Vice President Oakes and Messrs. Roberts and Starbuck, of New York, his traveling companions are also at the Met ropolitan. "Santa Claus all the Year Round," the new chromo for the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul passenger deoartment, presents a good profile (with a Ctfristmau pack and a new run of coupon*) of a prominent passenger man of that line. It doesn't at all resemble the "Old Santa Claus" of the St. Paul railway reportorial brigade. Vice President Oakes and party, then includ ing M»yor Rice, visited Superior City Satur day, on eccasion of the opening of the N. P. line from Thompson into Superior City. The first train and the railroad party were most hospitably welcomed by the good people of Superior, and the guests were handsomely en tertained. 8. R. Calloway, general manager of the Chi cago & Grand Trunk road, in a circular dated the 15th, announces the appointment of Mr. G. B. Reeve to succeed Mr. C. B. Peck, re signed, as traffic manager. Mr. Reeve will have his office in Chicago and communica tions regarding freight and passenger business of the company should be adddressed to him accordingly. The general passenger agents of St. Paul who visited Chicago last week have come back feeling somewhat "blue" over the con dition of H. C. Wentworth, late general passenger agent of the Michigan Central, and a veteran leader of their guild. Mr. Went worth is afflicted with paralysis, which is likely soon to result in death, and at best will leave him helpless for life. No new developments occurred yesterday regarding the boiler shop contest at the St. P., M. &M. shops. The railroad company has more men coming and the discharged men are waiting for them,expecting to pursuade them not to go to work. The only question seems to be whether the Boiler Makers' Union will hold out long enough to force the company to abandon its boiler shops in St. Paul. General Passenger Agent Barnes, of the Northern Pacific, who returned from Chicago Sunday, assisted Saturdry in installing Mr. A. L. Stokes, at No. 52 Clark street, as general agent of the Northern Pacific, in place of Mr. Andrus, lately taken to New York by the Mil waukee A St. Paul company. Mr. Stokes, who is also general eastern agent of the Oregon Railway and Navigation company, is an experienced and competent transportation agent, who will undoubtedly give credit and profit to the Northern Pacific. Two boys, Harry Rundell and his brother William, neither over 12 years old, arrived here yesterday from Southern Texas, en route to their father, at Fergus Falls. The two boys were shipped, as first-class passengers, from Texas, on orders obtained by H. H. Young, Esq., through George Hazzard's agency, and have safely and comfortably made the journey without a cent in their pockets, in care of railroad men, and will reach their .ather to-day, having left here last night, in good condition, fat and happy. The three platform doors at the Union de pot are being used, in connection with the ex amination of tickets to direct passengers to their proper trains. Guard chains, gates and p'atforms lead them from the respective doors to their right trains, and so all chance of going wrong is avoided. The only trouble is likely to arise from trains being only a few minutes in the depot yard, and in case of a -rush all couid not get eutof one door in time. Aa off setting advantage is that no others are admit ted to the train platforms and thereby pas sengers are protected from crowding, from roughs and from pickpockets. A circular received from the Pittsburgh, Fort Wayne & Chicago line announces that beginning yesterday its passt-nger trains leave Chicago, as follows: No 6, the Limited Ex press, (the great new feature of the Pennsyl vania company's route to New York,) at 5 p. m. instead of 3:30 p. m., as heretofore; No. 4, the Pennsylvania train, at 6:10 p. m.; No. 8, the fast Hue train, at 9 p. m.; and No. 2, the day express, at 9a. m . All but the latter are daily trains, and that omits Sunday. This new ar rangement gives Minnesota travelers who wish to take the Limited Express for New York a short rest or time for a business call in Chicago. THE SUM DAT SUICIDE. The Coroner's Inquest and Verdict. The inquest on the remains of Helen Rose Furnoll, particulars of whose tragic death by suicide last Sunday morning, while suffering from illness and conse quent mental aberration, appeared in yesterday's issue of the Globe, was held yesterday morning at the residence of Air. Geo. T. Woodward, No. 428 Laurel avenue, yesterday forenoon. The in vestigation developed nothing particu larly new concerning the young lady's death, the act being the result of tem porary insanity caused by ill health. The jury consisted of the following citizens: Thomas Malcolme, Austin Akers, I. F. A. Btuddart, Max Strouse, 31. Johnson and Fred. Alpstag. George P. Woodward was the first wit ness; the name of the deceased was Helen Rose Furnell; she bad resided with wit ness about nine years. The witness de tailed the circumstances attending the discovery of the body as fully reported in yesterday's issue of the Globe. He was led to the awful discovery by a slip of paper that deceased left on the kitchen table; it read, "you will find me in the well." Witness testified that she had been of a cheerful disposition, well pleased with her lot and that she had never manifested symptoms of insanity. Witness could discover no trace of foul play. MRS. WOODWARD. Mrs. Woodward was the next witnness. The testimony of the witness was sub stantially the same as that given by her husband. Witness had examined the writing on the slip of paper, and recog nized it as Miss FurnelPs. Witness was examined as to the health of the de ceased. In the opinion of witness it was this that brought around the mental ab erration. Witness was perfectly con vinced that no outside agency entered into her death. Deceased had been en gaged to be married to an estimable young man in the southern part of the state. BEY. MB. MITCHELL. Rev. Mr. Mitchell, pastor of the church where the young lady attended divine service, and who assisted in lifting the body from the well, testified to having known deceased for a number of years. She was a good and faithful Christian. Deceased visited the residence of witness last Friday; he had observed a peculiar expression and whiteness of the eyes. Her relations with her affianced were of the most pleasant character. ' THE VERDICT. The jury found that death resulted from drowning, having thrown herself into a well, while in a condition of tem porary mental aberration. THE COURTS. United State* Circuit Court.

[Before Judge Nelson.] J. 8 Ricker et al. vs. H. B. Ccrey. Verdict for plaintiff. Supreme Court, October Term, 1881. Julius Frobreich, respondent, vs. Elijah H. Gammon and William Deering, appellants. Syllabus — This is an action :or breach of a warranty alleged to have been made by de fendants upon the sale of a Marsh harvester to plaintiff. Defendants insisted that the warranty was in writing, plaintiff that it was oral. Plaintifl claimed and introduced evidencs to show that after the making of the oral wt.rranty defend ant's agents handed him a piper which de fendants contend was the only warranty, that he (plaintiff) could not read it, (as it was written in a language foreig i to him) but that the agent told him that it was the same as the oral warranty, and that this was not true. Held, That if the facts are as thus claimed by plaintiff it is competent for him to show them, and thereupon maintain his action for the breach of the oral warranty. The damages which one parly to a contract ought to recover in respect of a bieach of it by the other are such as either arise naturally, that is in the usual courso of things, from the breach itself, or such as may reasonably be aupposed to have b'en contemplated >y the par t'es were making the contract, as a probable result of the breach. Under the first branch of tie rule the dam ages in case of a sale and warranty of a har vester are the difierence between the value of the harvester as it was and its value if it had been as warranted. In order to charge the seller with the loss of the buyt r's crops, under the second branch of \he rul ;, the warranty should have been made unde r such circum stances and upon such a state of facts that it may reasonably be supposed to have been con templated by the parties when making the contract, that if the warranty was not true the loss would probably follow in consequence of its falsity, If such circumstances and t tate of facts art relied npon they must be plet ded and proved. The fact that the buyer of a warranted arti cle gives his note for it, wh th has not been paid wnen he brings his action upon the war ranty, does not affect the extent of his dam age. Neither is the sum which the buyer is entitled to recover for breach of warranty lim ited by the price which he paid or agreed to pay for the article warranted. Order denying a new trial reversed, and a new trial directed. Bbbbt, J. District Court— Gent ral Term. [Before Judge Willcin.] S. W. Chaffee vs, Amelia J. Halleck. Suit for recovering on a contract.

Chicago, Dec. 18. — Another meeting of Jewish citizens was held to-night, and a plan organized for procuring c r ployment for those of their race who have rjcently arrived from Russia. A considerable sum of money was subscribed, and Mayor H: rrison made a speech urging that employment for their friends be searched for in country ( istricts rather than in overcrowded cities.

The following tribute to a s ell known and meritorious preparation will be read with pleasnre by all who are suffering from pul monary complaints themf elves, or have friend/ >o afflicted: I hereby certify that mj boy, ten years o. ige, was taken sick with j phoid fever, follow ed by congestion of the Ii ngs. Dr. Dyer, an •minent physician, of thin place, stated that he thought the boy would nm down with quick consumption. A Mr. Patterson told me that Coe's Cough Balsam was curing similar cases, and advised me to purcha se it. When I carried it home, my wife laughed at me; but I knew that Mr. Patterson meant just what he said, and I determined to try .t. Two bottles ef fectually cured him, bo tliatnow he is as tough and healthy as anybody. Ltman Donna* ■ HmrmroTOW. Conn., las. 89. 1866. Itching Piles— Symptoms and Cure.

The prospectus of a British and American bank, with a capital of £1,000,000, has been issued in London. President Arthur's household coneists of himself and his secretaries. Soon the president will give a number of dinner parties. The Island City bank, of New York, has been reorganized as the Garfield National bank with a capital of $200,000, and has been au thorized by the comptroller to begin business. George E. Sickles, of New Rochelle, N. T., the father of the noted General Daniel E. Sickles, and over 80 years old, was recently married to a lady of New Rochelle. The report that the proposed Garfield Memo rial hospital project at Washington, is given up as a failure is untrue. The treasurer con tinues to report donations for the building of the hospital. If they could get at him, the strong-minded women would pull down the vest of the Mis souri senator, who so savagely denounced their ignorance in his speech against granting women suffrage. The haste manifested by Senator Sherman to get his funding bill before the country for discussion in advance of any other bill of the kind, is regarded in Washington as a piece of monumental audacity. Professor Henry G. Thunder, the well known musician and organist, died recently in Philadelphia. He was born in Dublin Ireland, in 1830. He ranked as one of the most able organists in the country. In view of the late appalling disaster at Vienna the prefect of police at Paris has in. structed the directors of the Paris theaters to take precautions against an outbreak of fire, and to provide adequate means of exit from their th eaters. An alarm of fire in the house of theoctoge. narian, Thurlow Weed, of New York, pro duced in the old gentleman great and distress - ing nervous excitement and prostration. A policeman gave the alarm, and the fire was easily put out with extinguishers. Ex-Gov. Shepherd, of the District of Colum bia, was recently bitten by a tarantula in the leg while examining an old mine in Chihua hua. His wife writes it is feared the leg will have to be amputated to Bave his life, which has been in great danger from the poison of the insect. It is alleged that Brady. & Co., the star route thieves, are in no way alarmed at the appoint ment of Benjamin H. Brewster, attorney gen eral, in place of McVeagh. They believe they can handle him, that he will be susceptible to ~ certain political influences in vogue at the na tional capital. The late Vienna disaster is causing greater attention to be directed to providing greater means of safety for those who frequent thea ters. The lord chamberlain has requested the managers of the London theaters to immedi ately separate the system of lighting the audi torium from that of lighting the stage . An uneducated minister in En gland, be ing ar rested for preaching in the streets, holding up a Bible, said that '-if the Church of England was not in accordance with that book, as evi denced by her ministers presuming to abso- lute people, knickerbocker would soon be written upon her walls. A new reading for •Absolve' and 'Ichabod.' " The stalwarts are evidently afraid that Blame will boom up with dangerous strength in 1881, and are falling to abusing him with out stint or limit. They are seizing upon his foreign correspondence, while secretary of state as one means to damage him. It may turn out that they have commenced their abuse too early and a reaction may give him the prize of a nomination in 1884. The alleged discovery of iron and silver ore and gold quartz in Springhill township, Greene county, Pennsylvania, is beginning to excite much interest. In giving his report of an assay made of these minerals, George Goeble, of Wheeling, saye: "After having made a very careful examination of a specimen of black band ore and silver rock, I found the former yielded 19 per cent, of iron, and the other yields silver to the amount of $6.20 to the ton." While there is nothing positively known on the subject, it is the general belief in well in formed army circles that the verdict of the Cadet Whittaker court marshal was unfavora. ble to the prisoner and recommended his dis missal from the academy, but that the review of the proceedings by the judge advocate gen eral of the army and the report thereon by the secretary of war will r.sult in the president setting aside the findings of the court and or dering the reinstatement of Whittaker. Guiteau the assassin absorbs like an anna, conda. He has his breakfast served in his room at the court house, and about 9 o'clock, and, according to the testimony of the officers who attend him, usually consumes at this meal a pound of steak, nine buckwheat cakes, three roasted potatoes, and five cups of coffee. Then at half past 12 he gorges himself on roast beef and mutton. The scoundrel ought to be kept on bread and water, instead of being feasted in this style to give him strsngth to keep up his disgusting antics in the court room. Daniel Drew Chamberlain, nephew of the late Daniel Drew, residing in New York, was last week forcibly seized and carried away in broad daylight, and lodged in an asylum. He is seperated from his wife. He has been judged insane by a commission of lunacy and incapable of handling his property, consisting of stocks and bonds, amounting, to over $200,000 and his wife was authorized to take charge of his personal property. Mr. Chamberlain and his counsel deny the allegation of insanity, aud claim that he is of sound mind. Had the assassin accomplices, as some have affected to believe since the 2dof July? He says he had net. In an address put forth "To the American People," dated July 18, he em phatically declares, "Not a soul in the uni verse knew of my purpose to remove the pres ident. It was my own conception and execu tion, and whether right or wrong I take the entire responsibility." In this there is no claim to "inspiration," no saddling of the re sponsibility of the murder on Deity, as in after thought reflections and gibberish, he has in stinctively and blasphemously sought to do. Bundry pathetic effusions in "prose and worse," as Donglas Jerrold once put it, have been written upon President Garfield's auto biographic epitaph, "Tortured for the Repub lic." Would he ever have written that epi taph, and would he ever have asked his bosom friend. Rockwell, "Do you think I shall live in history?" could he have foreseen that with in three months from the day of his public funeral every paper in the United Btates would have published, as every newspaper yesterday did, the blistering fact, disgraceful to the American name in all time to come, that at the end of a speech delivered in court by his red-handed assassin, "the jury was convulsed with laughter?" Bishop McQnald aid "No Bent." Roohestkb, N. V., Dec. 18.— Bishop Mc- Quaid, in a sermon to-day, said the following: Few priests with loose consciences, did not sanctify the "No Rent" cause in Ireland, pointed his people to the position of the Pope as opposed to secret organizations," and con cluded his address with telling the people that between the Revolutions of the land league and [all good Catholics the lines were too sharply and determinedly drawn.
