THE DAILY BEE-THUKSDAY , JANUARY 15 , 1885. COUHCILJUIFFS ADDITIONAL LOCAL NEWS , OOMFOET'3 ' STRONG BOX , Comity Trcaanrcr 1'oltcvln and I > , O. Jolinaon Mnilo Ills Successor. Crawford county has had a lively llttlo wrestle ever the position of county treas urer , A vacancy being caused by an ex ception to the rule that ofllco holdora never resign. The Bcllolin gives the following dotaib , Brother Keith , of coureo , viewing malleiB from a domo- cratlo standpoint : The general pupllo was aatoniobod last week by the resignation of County Treasurer Poltovin. That the atop tras contemplated ft long time ago was evi dently known in republican circles. It is alleged that Mr. Poitovln accepted the oflico with the understanding that at the expiration of his term ho waa to stop aaldo a d moko room for the aspi rations of another republican. Were It not a cirefully gunrdod secret among our rcpubllcin brethren , wo mlht add that some of the forces that mdo poaul- bio Sir. Poitovin'a election -wore gener- ntod by this understanding. Bo thnt no It may , Mr. Poitovln has seen fit to re sign the oflicp , alleging Inadequate pay for the oxttn labor required under the now l.trr , la the reason. Astdo from the prospects of re-election and legislative rtllof , thcro is llttlo to ranko the oflico attractive to any man who would not violate the spirit of the hfr by speculat ing on the financial roaourcea of the opunty. Mr. Poitovln haa been an ofli- ciont and painstaking official , no has labored diligently , and faithfully guarded the interests of the oflico. With no public dissatisfaction , and against the Importunities of the republican loaders , ho has taken a stop somewhat embar rassing to the gentleman whoso original plans of " .succession" are temporarily if not permanently upnot. As a mattor'of course the gentleman selected by the board to fill the vacancy will bo nomi nated by hla party next foil. Aside from the question of competency political considerations wore weighed by the various wings of the republican parly in the selection of a successor to Mr. Poitovln. Every member of the board felt like a nations ! convention filled with motions , amendments and hypodermic Injections of political udvlco. They lived through the ordeol , howovor. One wing of the patty , embracing tlio ohninimi ot the board , Air. Schultz , Mr. J. P. Miller , Mr. Schlutcr and others , favored the ap pointment of Mr. L , T. Carr. Whllo not a candidate , in the sento of making a personal effort to sccuro the position , Mr. Oarr was warmly urged to accept the oflioo by a largo number of men prominent In the circles of his party- The personal oppi- eitiou of Mr. Chamber * , however , scorns to have been fatal to Mr. Oatr's election. Another wing of tha party , under the leadership of Mr. J. Frd , Meyers , was equally aiixioua to secure the appoint ment of Mr D. 0. Johnson , deputy postmrster. Three ballots Wore token , resulting In ilia election of Johnson. "Wh.Uo Onttmbora opposition to Oarr made his appointment impossible without a domoeiatio vote , Schultz's adherence to Oarr made Johnson's election depend upon , the name conditions Itoth demo cratic members voted for Johneon on the final ballot and made possible his elec tion. tion.iiad \iiad the democrats elected their ticket last fall no doubt eomo compatcnt dem ocrat could have baon chosen to succeed Mr. Poitovm. lu vlow cf the existing circumstances there was at first some reason to believe that one republican vote might l > 3 secured for jsnmo [ worthy democrat , and Mr. I. T. Roberts was urged to become a candidate but refused to enter the field. Mr. Ciarlcs Bnllock withdrew his candidacy , and thus with neither of these gentlemen In the field , the democratic members of Uio board were actuated by no party cansidorations. That the democratic parJy of this county were unable to control the selection of u treasurer la another evidence of local ira- potency , resulting from political sclf- abuao last fall. Mr. Johnson has assumed charge of his duties and will no doubt labor dili gently to maintain the high etiuding of the oflioo and faithfully wear the onerous responsibilities of his position. The two Deuiaon banks are his bondsmen and the county deposits will bo equally divided between them. To rrolitliltionlBtH.

She asked if that was right , and I saitl I did not know. [ Laughter , ] The Ch'cf ' constable You mean you id not know who hot ho waspnssionn cly end 6f you or noi ? Yes. [ Ucnowcd aughtcr. ] Well , what occurred nftor that ? I nkcd for the gloss ball , nnd Smith caid : 'You can look if you like , but yon will not see anything if you do. 1 will lot yon look , however , If you llko. " Did you look ? Yes , but I did not aoo anything at nil. [ Laughter. ] She asked mo to rub It again , and I did so , but 1 iould not BCD anything and I gave it jack to hor. What then occurred ? Smith paid I had > oen very ill for the psst few mouths , nd I told her that was co. Did you piy Smith anything for aving disclosed these "mysteries" to ou ? Did you pay her any money ? No , Urn.

No. Are you sure that before you wont yon id not BOO a police officer ? Yea. The bench asked witness If she wont to do house of her own free will , or did nmo ono prompt her to do so ; but the witness did not answer. Mr. Cockayne To put it plainly did ou not go to this house as a spy for the lolice to see what thcso people wore about ? ) , yes , sir. You know you went there for the pur- loses of the police , therefore I presume ou were not deceived at all by anything .hat . was done there you know it was all iiimbug ? Yes. [ Laughter. ] Mrs Ann Williams , who accompanied 10 last witness to the pri oner's house , aid Dickenson went tip-stairs with the irisoner Smith , whila she remained with -ano. The latter asked witness if she oulcl have her planet ruled. Witness xid she would see about it perhaps she vouljl in timo. Piisoncr said it would 011 her the truth , and it would cost her 8 puieo. When the first witness came own-staits she went up to the prisoner Smith , -who put the glass globe into her lands. Witness Living looked through it or some time , and said she found she joiild see a figure , and handed it back to mith , who then told Jior that her ( wit- ess1) ) husband was in a very prosperous ay of business , that she had ono little jirl who would bo taken ill , and that she witness ) would soon have another one.

And you got n shilling's worth cf fun out of it ? laid , [ much laughter. ] Detective Inspector Atnerton said , in lompany with tno other officer ? , ho wont o N. 10 Court ntroot on the previous light. Ho knocked tit the door , which was opened by the prisoner Lanr , who , JB soon as ho saw T/itueeo , ran through .ho . house up stairs into the back room. Witness followed hsr and found her with .ho . prisoner Smith and Mrs. Dlckonson. fo the latter witness remarked that lie upposodsho was having her fortune told , ana she said she waa , but hud not finished yet. Witness told Wdrron ho had a varrent for hit ) arrest , and ono for that of Staith , and ho read them to the prison ers. Lane aald "I never told fortunes , " ind Smith remarked , "nor hive I I lave never told one.1' Witness asked .hem to hand to him the glass which they iad ueed , when Smith said : " 1 have not got ono , end have never seen ono. " Looking found the room , however , witness picked up near the fireplace a slack leather hand-bag , In which ho found a small-sized Hclid glass ll. Ho said to the prisoners : "You anvo a larger ono than this ono nome where , and you might ai well lot move vo it , as it will save mo searching the Siousu. " Line then tcok a big glass ball from the pocket of her dress and ou looking underneath the sofa witness found a canvass bag containing another of slmlliar siV.o. Ho said to Lane : "You lave some cards somewhere , and you might as well let mo have thorn. " Lane thereupon took a very dirt-looking pack From her pocket and handed thorn over to witness. Ho then took the prisoner to the police station. Mr. Cockayno You did not nek thorn to toll your fortune ? . No. [ Laughter. ] Probably jou returned the compliment and told them what their fortune would be ? I did. I told tl em that they would bavo to go to the polite station. [ Loud opplauto ] Mr. Coskayno submitted there wni no evidence * against the prisoner Lane , but the bench h'tld otherwise. In reference to the prisoner Smith , Mr. Cockayne , on her behilf pleaded guilty to the offbnte ; but It wavrldlcnlous to suppoio that ( he people In ill's ' instance were "taken In'1 by tha pilsnncrs , because they went to the house knowing that the fortune-toll ing beslness w s "all bo h , " The woman , m fet , fell into a very nblo trap which h d been laid for thorn by the police. , The bench , after brief consultation , remarked that there waa no doubt that 'his sort of thing was very prevalent in the town , and there was also no question that such poisons ai the prisoners did decoy young persons into their house * jiid obtained money from them In a very improper manner. Un this occasion tht bench had decided to inflict a line , al though they almost thought tbo offenee A-as ono which was deserving of imprie OLiuent.

The watering places and summer ami winter resorts of plosaro nnd hoaltl seekers nro frequented by crowds ot cos mopolltan adventurers who cater to the lappincsa of scandal mongers , nnd to the despair of too confiding shopkeepers , A stranger of distinction or so reputed arrivon at Mco , briugincloltors of recom mpndatlon. Moreover , as La Brnycro s id most jndlciouily , play with largo stakes cxalto n man. It was by sklllfu iractico of thin profound precept thai "Count A" worked his way Into "ocloty. Luck attended his play. Ono evening whllo nhnflllng the cards ho displayed with noma affectation n magnificent dit- moiid , which attracted the opecial ntton- Ion of ono of his companions. "Count , " ho remarked , "that's n fmo stone you have thoro. " l es , " replied ho count culcsaly , "tho size and bril- iancy of this diamond have before now orapted many collectors. I have had overal goad offer3 for it ; but nftor you lave examined It I'll toll you why I have always refused to ecll It. " Ho took off the ring , slipped it on ? rlnco W'd finger , and wont on with the ; amc. The prince , who Is an accomplished udgo of proctous stones , looked at the diamond closely , turned It on every side , and was confirmed in his opinion that ho iad Holdom soon ono so perfect. "Woll , " said the count , "do you BOO why I have refused to part with my ring ? " "No , I don't. " "Well , " continued A , "because that tone is false. Don't bo surprised ; it isn t csa beautiful for that , and it has deceived > cforo this many amateurs of your ability , nnd not a few jewellers oven. I've seen lomo persist in their delusion even after t iad assured them that I should consider t an abuse of their confidence to value hat stone at over six thousand ftancs , hough it would bo worth thirty thousand f it were genuine. " The game was just over , nnd the count walked away with the diamond lashing. D.iys succeeded each other , aud every imo that Prince W. mot the count ho could talk of nothing but the diamond. Tha prince said often : "Thero are pcoplo who would bo willing to have their paste ewels believed real ; I am go.ting to , hink that you are of just the opposite disposition. " The count would smllo and change the subject. His friend wai poisostcd with ho dcsiro to fathom the mystery , "Will you lend me your ring until to morrow morning ? " said ho ono afternoon. "Keep It n week , if you llko. " The prince took it to a jeweler and asked him if ho had over sjou so good an mltation. "An imitation 1" cried the tradesman 'You are laughing at mo. That's cno of ho most beautiful stones I have over oen. " "Is it worth moro than C.OOOf ? " "It would bo cheap at 30,000f. " "It's owner says it's paeta. " "He's joking. " That same evening the prlnc3 returned ho ring , saving : "If you ever decide to soil it , lot mo know bcfora you offer it elsewhere. " Eight or ten nays afterward Count A. iniiounccd his departure ser Italy. "Aro you going to take the ring away with you ? " "Well since you have set your heart on it , " said the count , "tako it. But mind ; hat yon remember it is false , whatever elsa people may say. 1 admit that the mutation is admirable , and for that rea son it has as a curiosity the value which is not less to me than 0,000 fiancs. " ' Here you are G,0JO ( francs. " "I icpcat for the last time , you are pay. ing very dear for paste diamond. " "Perhaps so ; but I do it with my eyes open. " "All right ; hero's the ring. " And the count pocketed his three hun dred Napoleons The piinco returned to liis jeweller and exclaimed in triumph : "I have the diamond. " The lapidary looked at the ring again and said ; with a shrug , 'That diamond is false. " "Whit do you mean didn't you tall mo just the opposite. "I told you the truth ; that isn't the same one. Show mo the other ono. " "But that's the only ono 1 have. " "Woll. a aiistako has been made or else you've boon cheated. " The prJnco with dejected air went to walk under the palms of the public gar- Hnn. Ho met A , who said to him. You don't wear your ringl" "Because" exclaimed the prince , "the jewelsr' told mo that the stone io false. " "But you knew that before. " "Ho assures mo , too , that this stone is not the B < uno that I took him thu other day. " A assumed a stern air. ' 'flow now , sir , " oald he , "what do you mean by this nonsense ? You wished to buy my diamond , und I rufinod to soil it. 1 have told yon from the first that it was pa&te. You thought I was mistaken , nnd that you were buying for six. thousand francs a stone which , if it were real , would bo worth six times that , "iou set cut then , to speculate , as you thought , upon mistaken honojty.

Ho was suffering from an agonizing hip disease , and his friends had carried him fiom afar to try this blessed emedy. Ho certainly obtained relief 'rom ' lying in tha muddy water for , hours , jut , in his weakly state , ho very naturally "aintcd ou being removed , so his kindred ihought the best thing they could do was : o build a hut over the pool and keep him .n it permanently. So there he had already lain for months , and would prob ably remain until lip died. Some of the boiling mud pools are horribly ribly repulsive. They lie In great natur al pits of craters , and , as you stand on ; ho brink watching the surface of the black boiling mud slowly upheave with a dull gurgle and then burst into a form of a monstrous bubble , you can scarcely repress a shudder at the thought of how ono slip of the foot on that greasy soil night plunge yon headlong into that : iorrlblo pool , therein to bo hopelessly .ingulfed. The very sllonco with which [ t works Is ou element of horror , con trasting with the noise and energy of the clear boiling lakes and the roai of the steam-clouds that escape from a thousand fissures In the rocks and from chasms allover ever the mountain sides. There la , however , ono mud-lako in which interest predominates over horror It is an cxponso of half liquid grsy mud , from the surface of which rise u multitude of small mud volcanoes really miniature ? , not more than thrco or four feet in height , but each a perfect me del of an ideal-conical crater , like Yesuuua , or nny other volcano of grace ful outline. From each little summit comes puff * of white steam , and then a small eruption of boiling clay , which , trickling down the surface , gradually builds up the tiny mountain. The Maoris not only absorb this mud externally , but they take largo quantities internally. There are several places whore a thick dark mud exudes from fissures in the rock , and this they have discovered to bo edible , and cat large linndfuls with the greatest appreciation One boiling mud-hole Is known as the porridge-pot in consequence of this pecul iarity , and the natives who visit it swal low tuongh to satisfy an ordinary ap petite , What with mud-pools nnd mud-volca noes , and ono large volcano of pure sul- [ ) htirand columns of steam rising on every iido from the wollibaked hills , nnd from ' the Bu'rfaca of the lake what with muddy colored boiling pools , nnd the silvery whiteness of snowy terraces , Rote Maha- na is , in truth , such a center of marvels as to seem to belong to some creation other than these steadygoing world on whoso tolid surface wo live our commonplace iives. iives.The The sulphur volcano rises from the brink of the lake , very near the so-called "Pink Terraces , " which , in point of fact , are distinguished from the "White Terra ces" by n most delicate tinge of palo sal mon color , like reflected sunlight on snow. The sulphur volcano produces a most start ling otl'cct of color ng in contrast with the vivid blue of sky and lake. It is certainly yellow" just the color of bright primrose and the great _ column of steam nscend- ing from itji pnnirow-hued , and all the water near it is thtiB tinted , while the n cks far and near are coated with a deposit - posit of pure sulpher.

Otheis again , with the same distinct idea of bencfittiug the body , follow the healthful , but ( n themselves , as isually carried oil , not highly intellectual mrsuils of boating , fishing , gunning , pe- lestiiauisni , swimming , etc The lost set of hobbies is that of tbo respectable , steady-going , healthy-living and wcll-ed- icalcd class ; yet oven these do not i each to the full enjoyment and full benefit of n hobHy. 'J ho man who can nianngo n facht and is , in a general way , fond of the ica would find his pleasure , ' quadrupled were ho to study the ttibes of beings , so mliko those of the land , which pcoplo its surface and its depths or fly over its broad expanse ; nnd the woman who eiij ys a quiet walk through thu fields , admires the woods and flowers nnd gazes with admira- ; ion at the sunset , would find herself in a lew world wo o she to learn the structure and uses of the plants she passes by , or ho form and the habits of the birds and the insects that people woods and ields.

Yat while ouch hobbies tend in one direc tor to check man's pride , they yet give lira the purest satufactiou. To bo intimate - mate wild , nature in all her moods , to reproduce on canvas her beauty and ; randeur , to make her ours , while BO nany ethers are strangers to her is no hts a purer source of pride : kau to be the conqueror of a country or the winner in a finan cial gamble ? To know the lives of the mxls of the air and the fish of the sen to cad the tciinon in the rocks and the woks in the trees , is not this a purer ilcasuro than to bo the spoiled favoii-o of 'or unc , yet without an in ores1 in life ?
