OtUcein De-wwcac Hujiditnr, east sideof Sec ond Street— ground tioor A Western man for 1896, CLAUDE MATTHEWS. Our commissioners last week visited the county asylum of Allen county. They were highly pleased with the management. As the looks indicated the asylum was in perfect order; every nook and corner cleaned to the nicest point while the inmates seemed in the very best possible condition. The stock was all first-class and in the same condition. The superintendents had arranged a large number of saw bucks and had on hand an equal number of saws, so that when the tramps or hobos came along and stopped for a night’s lodging they always accommodate them, but the first thing they have got to do into saw so much wood, then they are entitled to a meal and then again saw wood and thus pay for a night’s lodging and as a general rule they have enough work in a few hours for the average trdmp and they look some place else where they can find a softer job. Thus they get nd of the majority of the tramps that come that wav. Our commissioners think some of adopting the same plan and may do so yet this season as a new superintendent takes hold of the work. It will be a good time to commence such a reform and thus save the taxpayers some money. The stock will be_ improved on the farm so that better bred stock can be kept instead of the inferior at the same if not at less expense and a reform that will help to keep down expenses. Our supenntendents have always done the best they could but they did not have the means to do ■with. But now the commissioners have concluded that it will be better to improve the stock by putting better stock on the farm and thus make the home of' the unfortunates nearer self sustaining and thus in ! • crease the comfort of those who by force of circumstances are compelled to make their home at the expense of the county.

Dun’s Report for the Week. Mo gold goes out, though sterling 1 exchange has risen clos6 to the ex- ' porting point, and it does not yet appear that the syndicate has yet made any effort to control the ex j change market. London has sold about 40,000 shares of stock during ; the week, and the market is distinctly lower tor railroad shares, though a shade stronger tor Trusts. The stock market waits abjectly for London, and foreigners show thus far’tavre disposition to sell than to buy. Withdrawals of gold by redemption of legal tenders have not ceased, but since the closing of the syndicate contract have averaged about Jt 120,000 per day. There is no essential change in the money market, though rates are somewhat higher. Agricultural products are a shade higher, but without any reason which looks to future operations. More peop e are idle in the great industries than were idle last week, but not for reasons which distinctly affect the future. Land Excursions, March (>tb, April 2nd and 30th.

Lord Kelvin estimates that the “running slow” of the earth in its dally .rotation round its axis amounts to twenty-two seconds per century. The main cause of this retardation 13 the friction caused by the tides, which act as a brake, the action of which has been calculated by this eminent physicist to be equal to a weight of 4,000,000 tons applied on the equator. Other causes have also to be taken into account, as, for example, the increase in the size of the earth, due to the falling on it of meteoric dust, which if deposited at the rate q£ one foot in 4,000 years, would produce the observed' retardation by itself. > Such a phenomenon as the annual -growth and melting of snow and ice at' the poles is capable of introducing irregularities into the problem, the ' growth at the poles, by abstracting v. a tor f rom the other par ts of the oc can accelerating the earth’s motion, andthe melting, by restoring the water, retarding it. Against" the retarding forces thoro .has to be taken into account a probable acceleration, due to the gradual shrinking of the earth by cooling; but this Lord Kevlin believes to be very small —perhaps not more than l-6000th part of the retardation due to tidal friction. Prof. Newcomb has declared, from astro nominal considerations,• that the earth went slow and lost seven seconds between 1850 and 1862, and then went fast and gained eight seconds between 1862 and 1872, .changes of rate explicable by possible changes in the earth’s shape. So slight as to be quite undiscoverable in astronomical obser- I vations.

There wei patriots, indeed, when members of It s acquaintance, notable Sheriff s sought his society with an ardcp*uhnt. was difficult to withstand. Tin; present was one of those occasions, and although Marguerite had shown fame coyness abou: accepting the urgent invitation extended to him and. hid. moreover, given the State officials sc no healthy exercise before allowing them to deliver it personally, yet he had eventually given way to forces of circumstances. Fortunately for themselves, the representatives of law ajid order in Jacubaya knew within 100 miles or so the localities where Marguerite was likely to be found. His natural modesty would, they were aware, prevent his crossing the American border, wherfe his return had long bean awaited with anxiety by certain of his com patriots. Therefore the chase had been short. ■ Still, while it lasted, like most of the proceedings in which Marguerite was actively concerned, it had proved full of interest to the persons sharing in it. But now the object of all these attentions had recognized the uselessness of further resistance, and feeling that he had done his best, was prepared to rest upon his laurels. Wherein his friend, Don Carlos, agreed with him. The pair, accompanied by a large proportion of the pculation, made their way toward the court house, a building which but unflatteringly illustrated the quality of the law dispensed therein. As a matter of fact, before it became a hall of justice, it had been a loft, and access to it was still gained bv means of a ladder. Marguerite, followed by the judge, the jury and the crowd, mounted with impassive slowness, and he was shortly occupying a prominent position in the court, Don Carlos, who suffered from a constitutional objection to climbing, had elected to remain in the yard below. Knowing from past experience that the trial was likely to be a lengthy process, he gravely seated himself upon the ground and prepared to await events. It should be explained that Don Carlos was not handsome. Nel ther was he good. Still, he possessed merits which might not have been patent to the casual observer. In complexion he was black and tan, being rather like a dachshund in the face,. while he strongly resembled a greyhound in the figure. His tail, however, it was impossible to classify, for it belonged to no species or epoch. Owing to his having been dropped by his nurse when a baby, it had a break near the tip, which caused it to curl over his back in coquettish manner far from exemplifying the real solidity of his character, while its length would have done credit to a cat. Don Carlos himself seemed to be aware that it was not the latest fashion in tails, and he habitually underwent many things in a vain endeavor to sit upon the whole of it at once. He was thus engaged upon the present occasion, when, glancing up, he chanced to catch sight of a bull mastiff which was strolling into the.yard apparently in search of stray refreshments. Don Carlos pricked up his ears and blinked his eyes, into which the light of battle gradually crept, until the intruder, unconscious of danger, drew nearer every mordent. ' In the meanwhile the sonorous tones of the judge, mingled with the drawl of the witnesses, sounded clearly from the open window of the loft above. It appeared that Marguerite was accused of horse stealing this time r -and as he listened to the details of his error, as described by the sufferers from it, he felt by no means certain but that thl& might be the last of his many adventures. “Judge Hopper’s got a hanging look about him this morning,” he meditated with an emotional face. “If I get off this time I will go home to Conchita and they shall find m« no more.” The last witness for the prosecution finished his tale of woe, and a feeble effort was made at defense while Marguerite wondered idly if he really were as great a ruffian as the evidence seemed to imply. Silence broken only by the buzzing of flies fell upon the close room, as the Judge settled himself In his wooden chair and prepared to sum up. The culprit, who was looking through the window at his side, appeared to be the only uninterested person present. A deputy standing near was about to recall his attention to the proceedings when, following for an instant the direction of the gaze, he, too, became absorbed. The Sheriff himself them glanced at the window, through which short barks were beginning to make themselves heard, and after one look be rushed to the door and commenced hurriedly descending the ladder. The audience gazed at each other In amazement for an Instant and with a simultaneous movement tlsuy ~rook a hurried survey of the yard. Having looked, they wasted no more time. but. with an expression of rapture stealing over their faces, they made for the ladder, accompanied by the prisoner and his guard. The Judge, being left alone in the empty loft, frowned severely at- the empty benches, as he said with Impressive dignity: “I guess this court will now adjourn.” Then he tucked I up hta sleeves and made good time for

! tbo yard. A vigorous struggle for the ; beii view took place between Marguerite and himself, without either man being in the least aware of the Identity of theqieraon by whom ho was Jostled. Nor would It have made any difference if he had known, because not even for a free pardon would the accused have consented to forego the enthralling sight on which he was feasting his eyes. Affairs were just at their most exciting stage. The bull mastiff, it appeared, had drawn quite close to Don Carlos before perceiving hla presence. He had, then, instead of apologizing for the intrusion, critically examined Don Carlos’ tail, afterward giving vent to an Insulting bark. This brought matters to a climax, and in less time than It takes to tell the two dogs were so inextricably mixed up that but for tho appendage in question, waving j over the scene like a flag of battle, it would have been impossible to distinguish one combatant from the other. There was no necessity £cr the h. ste 1! -played by the spectators i i reaching the seat cf war for the iray pro ii d Ito be as long as it wm t ngu'-iai r . ;No quarter was asked or ('I- red. Tb i ■ stranger possessed a vm; snout, of staying power, inasmuch e ; wh. n ) s vice took hold little shortlaf a ;tr; c In : ’ n:s teeth made him let go ng in. Bu r the military tactics' of hla opponent were new to him and prevented his getting an opportunity to show what he really could do. Don Carlos dashed underneath him i.nd sent him sprawling In the mud; he jumped over his back and gave him a perfunctory bite in passing, and he harried his front and rear guards both at the same time, until the bull masttfLjfelt that, for all the good he was able to effect, he might as well be a toy terrier. The ironical cheers of the crowd incited him to fresh endeavor, and he spent himself in frantic efforts to gain the mastery. At length, however, he saw a chance. Making a sudden dash while Don Carlos was in the act of executing one of his wonderful leaps, the bulldog met him in midair, and at last obtained a grip of the enemy’s threat. Both dogs fell to the ground, the stranger savagely worrying his apparently vanquished antagonist. The crowd showed signs of a desire to interfere, but Marguerite waved them back. “Let ’em alone," he said, placidly, “and bet your boots upon old Carlos.” The intelligent animal, as he lay beneath his conqueror, appeared to un- , derstand and to be encouraged by the faith reposed in him by his master. He gathered hs long legs together, planting them firmly against the enemy’s body, and the pext development of the case was that the bull mastiff was seen to be taking an entirely involuntary flight through space. Don Carlos, meanwhile, slowly arose, shook out his tail, and—yawned. The discomfited interloper, after a short period of meditation in a dust heap, picked himself cut of the dirt. He tcoked back “ at the field of battle, glanced at the open gate which he had entered, and then in a depressed manner he evidently made up his mind that it was time to leave. He accordingly did so, and not until he had slowly lurched out of sight around a sandy corner did Don Carlos creep up to his master for congratulations. That gentleman muttered something in their native Mexican that was clearly Intelligible to his companion, for Don Carlos’ eyes said plainly that he found life a very satisfactory thing. With unlook- ’ ed for docility Marguerite turned to ascend the ladder leading to the left. Brought back to every-day life by his movement, judge, jury and audfence followed suit in a silence too blissful for breaking. The prisoner, impassive as ever, resumed his careless survey of the room, letting his gaze rest longest on the benches occupied by the jury. The judge took his seat, scrutinized the faces of the crowd, and, apparently satisfied by what he read there, cleared his throat and began. “Gentlemen of the j.ury,” he said, “when we were interrupted by unforseen circumstances, a short time ago, J opine that yen were just a-goin’ to declare that accordin’ to the best of your belief the pris’ner was innercent of the charge agin him.” “You’ve struck it, jedge,” unblushingly responded the jury, The judge frowned down an atteinpt at speech on the part of the Sheriff and turned to Marguerite. “Pris’ner,” he said, “you heered the remarks .of them gentlemen so you may take it that., the proceeffln’a is concluded. But don’t get up to any more of your tricks in this country, for it ’pears likely that next time you won’t get off so easy. And now, what’ll you take for the dog?”—Pall Mall Gazette. Nwdert, a New Yaw. We read that a bicyclist was romping merrily along when he met a fire engine on the warpath. Somebody, of course, had to get on one side, but as a bicyclist isn’t to be out-bicycled and the Illiterate fire engine did not get out of the way in time, it was run into and there was a pretty tough collision. One of the horses was badly hurt, a couple of firemen were thrown into the gutter, and the very disobliging engine overturned, but the hero of bicycling fame fortunately escaped unhurt, while his machine was slightly scratched. One of these days a reckless bicyclist will go -careening along a railway line, i and if he should .by cruel fate run into an express train full of excursionists the carnage will "be fearful. A law should be passed compelling fire engines and locomotives to keep out of the way of the “wheel.”—Truth. - Tlfe Nfw i it is surprising how general the use i of the potato as a penholder is becomi ing in he’. o ’? throughout the country.

Mystery of Feienee Which a French Sav. ant Has Tried to Clear UpAlcoholic beverages are as old as the world; alcohol itself is modern. Today it is the best-beloved and worstabused of all chemical compounds, but the ancients, who knew its uses as well as we do, had ro idea of its existence. It has been reserved for a French chemist, M. Berthelot, to make an exhaustive historical inquiry into its discovery, but it cannot be said that he has completely solved the mystery. The very name of alcohol, so far as it is applied to the product of distillation of wine, is modern. Up to the end of the eighteenth century the word, which is cf Arabic wigin, signified any principle obtained by extreme pulverization or by sublimation. For example, it was applied not only to our alcohol, but also to the powder of sulphate of antimony, used for blackening the eyebrows, and to divers other substances. , -- In the thirteenth, and even the fourteenth centuries, nc author applied the word to the product of vinuous distillation. The term “spirits of wine,” or “ardent spirit,” though more ancient, was not any better known in the thirteenth century, for at Chis time the word “spirit” was applied only to volatile agents capable Os acting «n metals. As to the name “eau de vie,” this was applied during the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries to the elixir of life sought for by the chemists. In reality it was under the name of “ardent (i. e., inflammable) water” that our alcohol made its first appearance. According to Berthelot, distilling apparatus was invented by the Egyptians in the early centuries of the Christian era. Their inventions were used by the Greek alchemists and by the Arabian pharmacists, but there is no evidence that any of these ever distilled alcohol, though passages in the works of certain Arabic authors have been wrongly interpreted to this effect.” Abdul Casim, for instance, a Moorish physician of Cordova, who lived about 1100. had a distillery and distilled in it, fcr medicinal purposes, rose water, vinegar and wine, but he made no distinction between the different products of distillation, though he recognized that these Were nbt simply water, as Aristotle thought. The most ancient manuscript that contains a precise indication in this direction is one written in the twelfth century, which notes that by mixing a pure, strong wine with three parts of salt, and heating it, an inflammable water may be obtained that burns away without consuming the matrix. More precise directions still are given in the “Book of Pires,” by Marcus Graecus, written about 1300. In this It is recommended that sulphur be added to the wine to increase its Inflammable properties. , p The first author whose name is positively known to speak of alcohol is Arnautl de Villeneuve, who lived after the composition of both the receipts ref erred, to above 1 .. He j.s usually considered the discoverer—a dignity to which he never himself laid claim. He speaks of it only as a well-known substance, and he exalts its virtues as follows: “Certain moderns Say that It is the permanent water (that is, the liquid that is incapable of solidification) others call it water of gold.’ It prolongs life, and hence is called eau de vIA It rhculd be kept in vases of gold. When to it haVe bwn communicated the virtues of rosemary and sage, it exercises a favorable Influence on the nerves.” From alb of which we may conclude that six centuries ago the French chemist, knovf alcohol only as a servant, and not. ns a master. , It is safe to predict, ten, after this most recent and exhaustive research > Into the matter, thflt alcohol will keep : Its place with gunpowder and other . familiar substances and compounds in the list of articles whose discoverers or inventors must remain forever un-
