What! can a man be imprisoned for "Yes, sir; he can for one kind of : debt; that is what the lawyers call a ! tortious obligation." ' Mow is tli at?" 'Well, take the case just called be- ' fore Judge Cameron, tor instance: Math Nowak, of the town of Washing ton, living on what is called Bohemian Ridge, thought that his neighbor, Mi chael Schendel, had bnilt his fence on the highway, and deputized himself to ' tear it down. Schendel had him arrest ed on a civil warrant and brought be- , fore Justice Steinlein, when a judg ment was obtained against him of 60 cents and costs of suit, amounting in all to $14. 69. Nowak refused to pay it, thereby throwing the responsibility on the plaintiff SchendeL That consti tutes a tortious debt." Well, how did it come out?" "As soon as it was known that No wak had made up his mind to evade payment, a warrant was issued for his arrest, and placed in the hands of Con stable Scott, who made several attempts to arrest him; but whenever he came in sight of Lis house, Nowak would get wind of his approach and take to the woods. It afterwards appeared that his girl was on watch and gave her father the signal sign of danger by waying a large red handkerchief in a casual manner, at the same time talk ing to an officer, t-nd pointed out the exact part of the farm on which Nowak was working. Scott finally succeeded in arresting him very early in the morning, and brought him into town and locked him up. "Then did he payP" "Pay? No. lie said he couldn't pay." "What good did it do to lock him tip then?" "None whatever. All the lime he was in jail Schendel had to pay his board at the rate of $3.50 a week, be sidos paying the additional costs which have accumulated since the Steinlein judjrment," "How did Nowak get out of jail? I understand you to say that he was re leased to-day." "After a man has been in jail ten days he can plead the poor man's act, make out an affidavit that he has no personal property, and can't pay. He is then brought before the proper tri bunal. Nowak was brought before Judge Cameron and released, upon his affidavit," "What is the entire bill now?" "Something like $50, and Schendel must pay every cent of it, except the satisfaction of keeping Nowak in jail thirteen days." La Crosse Repub lican. Hurried Dinners. It is a mistake to eat quickly. Mas tication performed in haste must be im perfect even with the best of teetb, and due admixture of the salivary secretion with the food cannot take place. When a crude mass of inad quately crushed muscular fiber, or undivided solid mater ial of any description, is thrown in'o the - stomach, it acts as a mechanical irritant, and sets up a condition in the mucous membrane lining that organ which greatly impedes, if it does not altogether prevent, the process of di gestion. W lien the practice of eating quickly and filling the stomach with unprepared food is , habitual, the di gestive organ is rendered incapable of performing its proper functions. Eith er a much larger qtianlitity of food ' than would be necessary under natural . conditions is required, or the system I suffers from lack of nourishment. Those I animals which were intended to feed ' hurriedly were either gifted with the power ol rumination or provided with gizzard.- Man is not so furnished, and it is fair to assume t at he was in tended to eat slowly.

The Tear 1831. New York Times. j The year which closed Saturday is i rendered notable in our history by a j single group of events closely associ : ated with each other. It opened sereu- ly, after a twelremonth of prosperity, which, followiug upon a long and dreary peried of depression, had begot ten a hopeful spirit among our peo ple. The result of the Presidential election had been accepted with gen eral satisfaction, and an era of polit ical peace and good feeling seemed to be in prospect. The closing session of the forty-sixth Congress was charac terized by no action of special impor tance, unless it was the passage of an act for refunding the maturing debt of the nation at three per cent., which en countered the Executive veto on ac count of provisions intended to coerce the national banks. The inauguration of Gen. Garfield on the 4th of March wa3 an event of unusual impressive ness, and the new administration was regarded with exceptional confidence The cabinet appointments, which were announced the next day and promptly confirmed by the benate, indicated a desir : o unite the Republican party firn? - n the support of the President. The same spirit was displayed in such other selections fer office as were made at that time and in the general avow al of purpose which emanated from the chief magistrare. The special ses sion of the Senate, which was called only that appointments might be acted upon, was prolonged through the months of March and April and to near the end of May by a contest over its organization occasioned by the equal political division of that body after Gen. Mahoae had declared his position. The committees were con stituted by the Republicans with the aid of the casting vote ef the Vice Pi esident, but the Democrats succeed ed by persistant dilatory motions and and discussions in defeating the elec tion of officers. But the most noteworthy incident of this special session was the contest which waged, chieflv outside the Sen ate Chamber, over the appointment of certain Federal officers in this state. The President, having chosen Mr. Morton as Minister to France and nominated a number of other friends of Senator Conkling for important places, selected Judge Robertson for Collector of this port, transfering Mr. Merntt to the London consulate. Mr. Conkling made a resolute effort in May to defeat the confirmation ef Robertson, and, finding that his pur- posee could not be accomplished, both lie and his colleague resigned their seats on .the 16th of that month. Then followed the remarkable contest at Albany, Out of tl is some factional bitterness was engendered between what was known as the "Stalwarts" and "'Administration" wings of the Rrpublican party. It was chiefly felt, however,, in this state and at V ashing lon, the causes of difference producing little effect elsewhere. It was on the 2d of July that the country was shocked by the dastardly act ofjGuiteau in shooting the Presi dent in the back at the station of the Baltimore and Potomac Railroad in Washington. This event and the long peried of alternate hope and fear, of constant distress and gloom, until the death of the president on the lDth of September, are too fresh in the minds of our readers and too much naught with painful memories to make a re capitulation of their details at all de sirable. They cast a wide and deep shadow over the year that had been entered upon with so much of cheer ful anticipation, and ne doubt had an important effect upon the general course of events. Scarcely anything is remembered or calls for remem brance during that period of nearly three .months save the suffering and heroic patience of the slewly dying President and the effect which it pro duced upon the people of the country. Gen. Arthur, who had comported himself with much dignity and propri ety, during the President's illness, suc ceeded to his office on the 20th of September. The Senate was sum moned to meet in special session on the 10th of October, mainly that it might choose a presiding officer to stand in the line ef succession to the Executive chair, no -one being left in that position after the President's death. TLe even division of that body, the casting vote ef the Vice President being wanting, produced the curious episode in which the Dem ocrats chose Mr. Bayard as President pro. tem before the members chosen to fill vacancies were admitted, and the Republicans two days later dis placed him by agreeing to vote for Senator Davis for that position. The only other incident of the session worth recalling was the resignation of Mr. Windom from the. Cabinet and the appointment of Judge Folger es his sucessor. President Arthur's more recent appointments and the general conduct of hi Administration have, on the whole, been such as to restore in a measure, the feeling of confidence and hopefulness which prevailed in the early part of the year. It has been marred only by the unhappy efforts of Secretary Blaine before his retirement to inaugurate a brilliant foreign policy. An important feature in our public affairs bas been the result of Postmaster-General James's resolute offort to bring tbe working of Ii3s department into conformity with the principle ef upright and eflcient business manage t ment.

The era of prosperity may be said to have continued, as indmtral and com mercial activity have in no degree abated. This is in some measure due to the impetus that came over from 1880, when our Tops were abundant and found a ready market. The long drought of last Summer materially curtailed production, and the supply of most of eur great staples has been mnch less than last year. The effect shows itself in a falling off of exports, and, in connection with other causes, in a general advance ef prices.' The prosperity of railroads has been some what interfered with by the effects of unregulated competition between the great through lines, On the whole, aside from the national calamity that overshadowed the year, the past twelve-month may be recalled as one of general stability and progress, but it can hardly be said that the outlook for the new year is so free from un certainty as that for 1881 appeared to be at its opening.

The production of anthracite coal last year reached about 28.500.000 tons. This amount is something above the average, but will, in turn, be surpass ad by the output this year. It is es timated that not leas than . ;;u,000,000 tons will be mined before next .Jan uary, and the annual production here after, under ordinary circumstances. is not likely to fall telow that amount These figures are more significant than they appear to be at first sight. It is not too much to say that the exhaustion of the anthracite coal-fields of this country is in sight. There are deposits in Rhode Island and Virginia and small quantities elsewhere; but by far the largest part of the anthra cite beds lies in seven counties in Pennsylvania. Four great fields are recognized, their respective areas be ing 1S9, 92, 194 .nd 38 square miles total 43. To this limited tract the United States looks fer its anthracite coal. How much was there in it when mining began, scarcely six years ago? How much has alread been consumed? How long will what remains-last? G D. You don't count Colorado then, where good anthracite has lately been found, and no man knows but that the Rocky Mountains are full of hard coal yet, in spots. Bishop Haven on Death. The late Bishop E. O. Haven sent a short article to the editor of the Chris tian ' Advocate, last June, telling him he could use it when be chose. The latter kept it waiting for an appropriate occasion, and now publishes it on the writer's death. It is on "Light and Darkness in the Last Honrs." and con tains these words: "Some Christians, Serhaps foolishly, indulge fears about eath. It is really to one who dies a matter of no consequence at all wheth er it is slow or sudden, attended with peace or joy. or not. I have longsiuce determined to indulge consciously no choice on the subject. But it is notice able that some who have feared it have been wonderfully sustained when ' the dreaded moment came.

Mr. Wigwam is a former residing in Durmor township, Lancaster coun ty, and recently one of those agents that infest the country came along and tucked off an him an automatic gate. The gate was so arranged that the weight of a person approaching it would cause it to rise, and when they had passed under it, down it came. This gate w as painted red, and the day after it was put in position, a, cross bull, owned by Mr. Wigwam, discover ed it. A bull, somehow, has a rooted antipathy' for that hue, and this an imal no sooner discovered the gate than it made a rush to gore it. Of course, as the bull approached the gate his weight caused it to rise, and he passed under it, and his failure to hit anything solid seemed to affect him about as it does a man to ge up a dark stairway, and when he has reached the top thinks there is one step morr, and step for it. and bringing his foot down so hard that it makes the sole tingle as if slapped by a shingle, and leaves the print of the boot on the floer. When the bull recovered a lit tle and looked back and saw the gate which had come down in its original position, he couldn't quite understand how he had parsed it, and what had what bad happened, and he stood and thrashed himself with his tail, and thought of it for a minute, and then tried it again. Same result. Bull more puzzled than ever, and awful mad. Another trial. Bull only suc ceeded in rooting his nose in the ground. Bull almost delirious with rage. Wigwam who is watching from the house, in the same condition with laughter. The bull evidently made up his mind to hit the gate or die in attempt and he tried the thing seven more times and yet the gate stood there every time, when he looked back. rhen having wrenched himself and scraped the hide off his nose, and got quite out of breath, the animal got discouraged and drew aside and mere ly watched the gate. But Wigwam hadn't had enough of the fun. He took a mirror, and went out and climb ed upon the gate, and caught the sun light upon the mirror, and flashed it in the bull's eyes to madden him. It did. The bull rushed once more at the gate. Wigwam expected the gate to rise up with him and let the bull pasr. But his weight held the gate down. The bull hit the gate square. Wigwam wa3 knocked forty feet and got his eyes and mouth full of dirt and was badly 6kinned. The mirror was shat tered. Aud the bull caught bis horns and one foot in the gate, which broke from its fastenings, and he went mad ly careering about with it on his horns, struggling to release himsel', and Wig wam didn't dare go lo his rescue, and was too much hurt to do anything anyhow, and finally tho bull, tearing up everything in his reach, threw himself and broke his neck. Loss 8301. Wigwam lays all the blame on the gate a;ent, which, perhaps, is natural. The only objection we have to theso htoi ies is, that they don't make them explicit enough don't locate them in short; to say Smith township, Jones county, etc., ain'fenough, we want tne state, section and range and first or maiden name of Wigwam and then we will believe it.
