A novel and effective release for a prisoner was seen red by some lawyers at Chicago. A man named Frank Nagle had been arrested tor stealing diamonds to tae amount of SSOO from bis landlady, a Mrs. Lawrenee. Na gle had waived examination before a justice and bad been committed without further parley. His counsel insisted that the justice had exceeded his power by making the commitment without hearing the evidence of the State, rnd Judge Altegeldt sustained the point. The State was taken whol ly unawaret, as it had no evidence at hand. The court ruled that it bad nu power to hold him and ordered his discharge.- The ruling is new and will be of far-reaching consequence in criminal practice. Two big copper cents issued in 18 17. are among the rarest in the coin collection of tn* Philadelphia mint These have the liberty heads well defined, but on the top of the usad over the liberty cap is a small protuberance. which, under a misroscope, appears as a crown. This was cut in the die by an English engraver, who thus covertly set the British crown over the American liberty head.— Philadelphia Cali.

Senator Beck’s Denunciation Of Corporation Greed.

In the course of Senator Beck’s remarks On the inter-stHto commerce bill in tl e United States Sunateu fvw days ago, lie made use ot the following strong language; “I believe the oountry will aecept this bill as an honest, earnest effort to break up the favoritism, the extortion, the an warranted control over inter-state and foreign votnmerye which many of the railroad managers nave exercised and muiataiaed for the past twenty years It is only within the last few years that the railroad advocates would admit that congress could inteifcre to prevent JisetiiainaV tiuus in their tatei or extortions it; their charges, as the arguments filed before the committees of the senate '•nJ house shosv. It was only when the unjust charges and flagrant ex tuitions of the Pacific ruiireads on way freights were exposed and facts which the manager could not deny were made manifest—such as chargee of SBOO a car to Option, Virginia City or Reno, when a like ear, similarly laden, would be hauled on the same train past these places to San Francisco, many hundre Is of miles farther, for S3OO- that the railroad attorneys had to admit thm there must be a power somewhere to prevaat and pun ish such outrages on the people along the lines. They hud tc> abate the ai> rogance of their demands lor unlimited control over inter-state and fot\ eign eompercse when it was ptoved before state and congressional com- ' mittees, and admitted by their own' agents, that the leading railroudg ot t ie country, embracing the New York GUptrul, the Erie, aud the Pent.sylvarija system, had by their pools aud ■Otfcter illegal combinations distroyei: aU competition of the pro'iticprs of petroleum with the Standard OU and had buiit up that mon stfrr monopoly in fifteen yeais from •a,ti insignificant oiganisaitsn, with lesuthan $1,000,000 capital, to a mam moth monopoly with oversloo,ooo,ooo not less than SSOD(iO OCO of whiet was s olen- no milder word will express the truth by he railroa Is and Standard Oil ccuaspiratthrough their reels, by discriminations, rebates and eqtortlens, from the people of the country ajd their competitois in trade."

Representative Meagher, of Vigo county, before he was unseated bv ibe Rev übiicsn House of Representatives, to give (he Republicans the Legislature, made a speech in his own beuslf. He said lie was no hairspitting lawyer, but a poor laboring man with a wife and children to take care of, wi'h money earned ata puddling furnace. He bad never held an uffiee in his life until he took his seat in the house, and haa novt-r perform ed any official duty till then. He knew that his constituents had elected him fairly and honestly, and fee would rather be expelled from the house a hundred times than to take a- offloo once when the people sa d they didn't want nim to have it. Con eluding he said: “If I am turned out for the purpose of electing a man to the United States Senote who doesn’t know a Ipboring man when he meets him, I will be very much surprised When every man is compelled to ad< nit that I got an honest majority of the votes cast in my county tor repsesentative, I have a light to appeal to every honest man on this floor to see that the rights of that majority are protested. Espec ally do I appeal to the members who are here as the representatives of iaLor to stand by me in this fight, because this attempt to steal a seat from mo is bat one of the many outrages perpetrated by our enemies to dofraud t.e laboring people of their just dues. If you eau afford to turn mo out of this house upon what scheming politicians call a technicality of the law, I can go back to the furnace to evrn my daily bre-d, knowing that lam but another of the many victims of monop-> oly and the almighty dollar.” The unseating of Mr. Meagher was an infamous outrage, the commencement of a repetition of the gimeof 1877. and was only chocked by the prompt and proper action of t e Senate.

One of the most eloquent preachers of Mew York tells a good joke at l is own expense a* fobows: “When I was in Floi ida last winter, Ipreaehed to a neg’.o congregation one Sunday, excusing myself from saying much on account or my poor health The colored minister in hisclosing prayer, safd: “Ch, good Lawd, bless our brother L , who has preach d to us in hes pore, weak way.’” There are 6.038 Grand Army Posts in the United States.

A Judge’s Shrewd Trick.

Trial Justice Robinson, of Anderson, has a unique way of fastening guilt upon the criminals that appear in his court, writes a Columbia, 8. C, correspondent of The New York HeraJJ. Yesterday « negro was arraign d before him charge with stealing a hog. One of the witnesses for the prosecution was specially active in his efforts to fix the guilt upon the prisoner, and in an unguarded moment showed himself guilty of duplicity. The judge took cognizance of this sact, aud finding the evidence against Le prisoner wholly insufficient for conviction, ordered him released. Believing strongly in the guilt of the party he had spotted, the judge determined to tryeffect of an old chestnut, and suggested to the large (crowd of darkies present that the matter be left entirely to a very fine game rooster he had in the yard. The proposition met the approval of the audience in the courtroom, and he ordered the feathered judge to be brought in, together with a large iron wash pot. The rooster and the pot both in, the judge assumed all lhe dignity possible and proceeded to announce, deliberately and solemnly, that the rooster would be placed under tho pot and everybody in the house would be expected to touch it, while the negroes present wouM sing “Let tne old ark rock on.”

“The rcoster,” said the judge, “will crow when the guilty man touches the pot.” Hands were hen clasped and a circle formed around the pot, and “Let the old ark rock on” was sung as only negroes can sing. The judge noticed that the burly fellow he had suspected was very nervous, and was making his way to the door. Me therefore urged him to enter the c<Tcte and touch the pot. The (allow declined, saying “I am out of dat scrape now and 1 want to stay out.” He joined in the singing, but would not touch the pot. The older negroes regarded his conduct as conclusive evidence of his guilt, and upon being pressed he made a full confession of his crime, and was then sentenced to 3 months’ imprisonment in the county jail. The ignorant negroes now think Justice Robinson’s trick is the tri? umph of genius, and already to worship the game-cock, ’’’hey are also willing to leave all the stealing cases in that community to the infallibh judgment of Judg Robinson’s rooster.

Diphtheria Cure.

As this disease prevails alarmingly in many localities it is important to be info med as to the most effective remedies. The vapor arising from burning tar and turpentine in the room is found to give instant relief. A French doctor thus describes the treatment: The process is to pour equal parts of turpentine and liquid tar into a tin pan or cup and set fire to the mixture. A dense resinous smoke arises, which obscures the air of the room. “The patient,” Dr. Delthill says, “immediately experiences relief; the choking and rattle stop; the patient falls into a slumber, and seems to inhale the smoke with pleasure. The fibrous membrane soon becomes detached, and the patient coughs up microbicides. These, when caught in a glass, may be seen to dissolve in the smoke. In the course of three days afterwards the patient entirely recovers.” This treatment has Iren tested in New York recently, with gratifying results. It is based on the theory that diphtheria is due to the rapid multiplic ttion of living fungi, which are killed by the fumes of the tar and turpentine.—lndiana Farmer. Republicans say.that the U. S. Senati will seat Gen. Harrison without regard to the merit of hie claim. In saying this they reffect upon the honor and integrity of Republican Senators.
