A CASE RARE AND PECULIAR.
People Testifying they to Used la Wei
Acquainted with a Man whom
they Never Saw Before.
The Prisoner Doesn't Get Rattled
Nebnwka city h surely a city of sensa
tions and they have now developed one
that U foolish in- the extreme, and may
chagrin them enough that they can learu
a prolliable lesson. The first side of the
story is this: AIout 1S77 Washington
Scramhlin left" Indiana and came to
Nebraska. Jut whore he located at first
ve are unaMe to trace out, but for a time
he worked in a brick yard at Council
Bluffs and alio lived in Franklin county
in the wostern part of this state where he
bought some lots which are now value
loss. 1SS0 and 181 found him in Cass
county and working in Plattsmouth, and
either prior to this or after 18S4 he lived
several years at Mt Pleasant, this county.
While in this city he worked for Fred
Wreath.
Mrs. Wreath concluded she had found
a better man and she eloped with Scramb-
lin, and Scramblin stole a team of geld
ings from Wreath to g t awuy with. II o
was arrested and the charge of horse
stealing brought against him. He was
tried in the d:strict court in May, 181
.V jury with Henry L. Messneras foreman
returned a verdict of "guilty" and Judge
S II. Pound sentenced the prisoner to
three years hard labor in the penitentiary,
which term was served, no charge ever
being brought against him for eloping
with Mrs. Wreath. After his term in the
penitentiary had expired May 7, l$s4,
Serambliu's whereabouts for the next.
three Tears we dc not know but last
year he turned up at Nebraska City where
he camped out and then took up his
abode in a cave in Kearney near the li.
fc M. track where he lived some time.
lie has a mother, sister and brother living
north of Kearney, and a brother David
Scrainblin living at Minden, Nebraska
Again this spring Washington Seramblin.
appeared at Nebraska City, and took up
his abode like a hermit it a cave. As
a man he is over ( feet tall and only
weighs about 100, and is probably 45
ye.irs old. Friday morning of last week
Arthur Spencer swore out a warrant for
Serambliu's arrest . as a murderer, and
since then all has been sensation in the
town of Nebraska City.
The murder side of the story is this; In
November 1882 Richard Brimhall.a brick
maker of Red Oak, Iowa, had In his em
ploy a man named Bennett (or Benja
min) Harden. Brimhall and Hayden had a
quarrel and Hayden shot Brimhall with
a shotgun and then killed him with an ax
and made his escape. The last trace of
Hayden was the finding of a shot gun
under a bridge near Hamburg, Iowa.
On charge of this murder Scramblin is
now arrested. When the arrest was
made by Sherriff Williams of- Otoe he
submitted quietly and made no fuss,only
claiming his innocence. Witnesses were
procured from Red Oak, and the wife of
the murdered man (now T. E. Ljocke, of
Council Bluffs) were called, and all were
satisfied Scramblin'was Hayden, but all
were mistaken, for Scramblin was in the
Nebraska penn at the time of the crime.
Mrs Spencer, wife of the man who swore
the warrant for Scramblin's arrest testi
fied she ate at the same table with Hay
den for. years and this is him, and other
testimonies are equally a positive. The
examination was coutinued each day this
week. Two witnesses were called from
Red Oak, that did not beleive Scramblin
was Hayden, these were Attorney Beesnn
and the marshal of Red Oak. Sramblin
has kept it from the officers that he was
in the penn in 18S2, only stating ha was
in Nebraska, but he is evidently a li tie
unbalanced in his mind, but his broth
er David, of Minden, has cleared up the
mystery to the officials and the prisoner
will be set free. For several days Scram
blin refused to call any witnesses, but
just said he would wait. He seemed, to
dislike very much to have to prove his
whereabouts in 1S82.

OBSCURE OF ORIGIN, BUT ACCEPT
ED FROM INTRINSIC MERIT.
Definitions Given or Them by Famous Men.
A Reference to the Itook of Troverbs.
Quotation from Chaucer, Hums uiul
Olliei-H.
To begin at the beginning, what is a
proverb? Lord John Russell's definition
was: "Tho wit of one, the wisdom of
many." In a quaint old liook, "Tho
Worthies of England, "written by Thomas
Fuller, an English divine and author,
published in 1050, a proverb is defined to
le "Much matter decocted into few
words." Francis Bacon, the well known
philosophic author and lawyer, made
lord chancellor of England by James I,
and dismissed, disgraced and fined for
receiving bribes from suitors, was char
actcrivscd in Pope's satire in this csuplet:
If parts alluro thoo, tliink bow Bacon shiiifd,
Tho wisest, brightest, meanest of mankind.
VARIOUS DEFINITIONS.
Bacon, however, went very near tho
trutli when lie wrote: "Tho genius, wit
and spirit of a nation are discovered by
their proverbs."
Fleming says: "Proverbs embody the
current and practical philosophy of an
ago or a nation." Brando tells us tliat
"Proverbs are, for tho most part, rules
of moral or still more projierly of prudial
conduct." Dr. Johnson said that they
were "short sentences, frequently re
peated by tho jieople." Cervantes, au
thor of "Don Quixote," who may bo said
to have peppered the conversation of
Sancho Panza with proverbs, declares
them to lie "short sentences drawn from
long experiences." In this the immortal
peasant squire resembled Iludibras, of
whom Butler wrote:
For rhetoric, lie could not o;
His mouth but-out there Hew a trope.
It is calculated that there are now in
ut;e, among European nations and the
Eng'i: li shaking people of the United
States, not fewer than 20,000 proverbs,
by far tho largest proportion of which
are Spanish. They enter very exten
sively into the ordinary conversation of
Spaniards. Hence the propriety on Cer
vantes' part of making Sancho Panza
(ignorant mid vulgar, as a peasant of the
time and place would have been, but also
shrewd and practical) speak very much
in proverbs, the language of his practical
good sense.
For tlio uiotit part, though proverbs .ire
to be found in all languages and in the
history of all nations, generally in their
early stages, there is no record of their
birth nor of tiicir paternity. They have
been accepted, not as resting on th.j au
ihui ity of a revered name, but from tlu ir
inherent truth or semblance of truth. In
fullness of time, which means in or near
the lust three or four centuries, men
made collections of them. The publica
tion in the year lo!0 of a voiume by
Erasmus, which ho culled "Adagia," first
set the learned men of Europe on the
track of proverb collecting. lie was the
first in that line, at least the first who
had traveled far upon it. Since then the
publication of proverbs has been very
general, and a heavy harvest of this sort
has been gathered in from the ordinary
speech as well us the written works of
Spain, Italy, France, Germany and Eng
land. There are now at least from
thirty to forty different collections of
English proverbs. It was in Asia, said
to have been the birthplace and cradle
of tho human race, that proverbs found
their way into the popular speech of Pal
estine and Babylonia.
SOLOMON'S YISDOM.
In the book of Proverbs in the Bible,
there is wisdom in them, but not a parti
cle of wit. Its opening words, "The prov
erbs of Solomon, the son of David, the
king of Israel," give us its current He
brew title. It has also been calied in the
Talmud, and by more than pne very early
Christian writer, "The Book of Wisdom."
Generally, by Jews and Christians, it is
designated "The Proverbs of Solomon,"
and, representing tho wisdom of which
tho Hebrews thought bo much, stands at
the head of the whole class of books
known as the Sapiental. The Bible cred
its Solomon with tho authorship of 3,000
proverbs and 1,005 songs. Much of the
former remain; few of the latter. Moi
probabl v Solomon collected short and '
telling phrases then used in conversation,
adding ruany thoughts of his own. The
oldest proverb on record is, "Wickedness
proceedeth from tho wicked," which (m
I Samuel xxiy, J2) David declared to be
'tlie proverb of the ancient3" eonso
quently much older than any composed
by his son Solomon.

which are our own, indeed, are taken
from the poets. Chaucer, tho father of

been borrt early in the rejgn of Edward
HI-tho dato on his tombstone is 1328
and who died about the year 1400, wrote
much of this proverbial pliilosophy. In
the prologue to the "Testament of Love"
he has, "Habit inaketh riQ rnonk, iior
wearing pf gilt spurs maketh no knight."
Henry Scogan, a contemporary of Chau-
fer, thought so well of this idea that he

able that Robert Burns never read Chau

the intuition erf his genius seized their
thought and so condensed it that we now

Poisonous Wall Paper.
The subject of poisonous paper hang
ings has lately been discussed, in the
light of boiuo new facts, by tho Boston
Society for Medical Improvement.
Somo of the imported papers still' con
tain arsenic in quite dangerous amounts,
and even Americau manufacturers,
though they use less arsenic than for
merly, are not yet w holly within the lim
its of safety. It is found that one-third
of a grain to a squnre yr.y mVc!. .; !ly
deleterious; but paiera are in use that
analysis shows to contain ten, fifteen,
and even twenty grains!
The following are important facts in
the case:
1. Tho harm varies, as would natur
ally be supposed, inversely with the in
dividual's power of elimination. This
power may bo fully adequato in somo
persons, and quite inadequate in others.
2. Tho symptoms of two jiersons inju
riously affected by tho same exposure
and tho results may be quite dillerent.
Inflammation of the kidneys, for in
stance, may be induced in the one, and
not at all in tho other.
8. Arsenic may not givo rise to the
ordinary symptoms of arsenical poison
ing, but may stir up and strengthen
dormant morbid tendencies, and thus
divert attention from tho truo disturb
ing cause.
4. While one-third of a grain to a
square yard is likely to harm an adult,
a young child may be injured by a mere
trace, and the cause of the trouble may
be wholly unsuspected.
5. While arsenic is not a cumulative
poison, like lead, yet it is very slowly
eliminated from the body. It requires
weeks, and sometimes even months, to
effect its complete expulsion after re
moval from an arsenious atmosphere.
Henco inhaling it constantly, perhaps
day and night, may cause a very danger
ous accumulation of the poison in the
system. This accumulation will bo very
rapid if the organs of elimination, one
or more of them, are feeble.
0. A new and conclusive method of de
tecting tho prc-nc-iico of arsenic in the
system has been discovered, which leaves
no room for doubt. Thia test has been
applied in many cases, and has led to the
removal of the paper from the wall, or
of the patient from the roonn followed
by relief, and, in due time, by full cure.
7. The covering of arsenical paper by
non-aienicrd i3 not sulilcient to remove
danger, for though this expedient may
prevent the arsenical du.-t from improp
riating the air, yet it id surmised that
moisture develops a volatile aretnious
compound, which readily finds its way
into the air of the room. Youth's Com
