Krror from Cass county. Allinneil. Opinion by House , J. An action against a non-resident de fendant was instituted in the district court , the purpose of which was to set aside a treasurer's tax ileed. Service of minimoiiH was made by publication and no appearance beiifg made by defendant , ti decree was rendered as prayed Within live years after the decree tlie defendant appeared , and , under iho provisions of .section 8of the civil code , sought to set aside his decree and make his defense. Notici * of Ins motion was served upon the attorney of record of ptaintill'In the origi nal action. This service was quashed by the district court for the reason that it was not served upon the plaintiff person ally. Unon review by the supreme court the decision of the district court was re versed and the cause remanded with di rections to said court ot "reinstate the cause anil try the issues nresented by the answer of said Merriam , and proceed to iinal judgment In said cause according to Jaw. Upon the return of the cause to the district court phuntin" lilcd "counter allidavits" tending to prove that the de fendant had actual knowledge of the pendency of the action in tune to liavo made his defense. Defendant moved to Htrike these from the tiles , assigning as the basis of his motion the direction of the ( supreme court as evidenced by the man date. Pending this motion , plaintiff , by motion , called attention of the supreme court to tlie irregularity of the man date in its direction to the district court to "try the issues , " etc. . instead of the usual form to "proceed with thecaiiso according to law ; " whereupon it was or dered that the mandate bo corrected ac cordingly. The corrected mandate being returned to the district court , it over ruled the motion to strike the counter alliilavit.s irom the tiles , and upon a hear ing of the alliduvits , it was found that the defendant had notice of the pendency of the action , and his motion to open "the decree was denied. Held , no error ; that the correction of tin * mandate having been made before thu final hearing of the motion , it was authority to the district court to proceed us it did. Held further , that the direction contained in the orig inal mandate and opinion was not the application of a , legal principle binding upon the supreme court us an adjudica tion to bo corrected only by a rohear'iig , but simply a misdirection which might have been corrected by the court on its own motion , had attention been called toil. rAllDONKO KItOM TIIK 1'KN.

Jnpturnd When Young by Indians , Snvod by n Sorcerer nml Ten derly Cored I''or on the iiliorcs or .Moose Ilike. Local papers published an account two nonths ago of the discovery of a wild girl in the mountains forty miles from his place , writes a correspondent of the tit , Louis Cilobo-Democrat from Washing- on , Idaho. A correspondent of the San Francisco Chronicle visiting the scene , and from personal observation furnished that journal with a full description of her cavern home and surroundings. As i result of the publication , one of Iho greatest mysteries of the far west has icon solved , Mr. U. N. llolbrook , of Denver , Col. , road the reports and rec ognized the wild girl as his own daugh ter. After being mourned ns dead for line years , she comes forth as from the .jrave and is restored to her father. A hunter , while wandering in the douths of the Salmon river mountains , far from the habitations of man , saw before him a beautiful lake , in the jrrand- nst , wildest , natural settings giant cellars with pendant festoons of moss and towering columns of granite. A fair girl , unadorned , unclothed , except by a Hooey wealth of golden hair , Blood waist deep in the water. She looked with a nervous stare , that bu- trayed a wild nature. She sprang from the water and disappeared in a'black , 3 awning cavern. There might bo such a thing as a mermaid , but. hu did not bo- Hove in ghosts. lie hastened to the cnmp. It was dark when ho found his comrades by a log lire. They were old hunters and know not fear. The story of a lone girl in that gloomy solitude was related. The dickering llamo cast shadow- " more weird1 , when the owl hooted and the echoes died away the stillness seemed oppressive. The three N i m rods visited the lake next morning. The same fair crealnro was standing at the foot of Iho ellIV beyond the water. She was clothed in the skins of wild ani nials ; her hair was blown by the light bree/e in fluffy ringlets about her shoulders , bho was startled looKed fern n moment and lied The explorers did not trespass upon the strange lady's sacred precincts. SEAllCIIIXO TIIK VAI.I.r.V. When they returned to the valley their story was widely eireulated , and the now'spaper correspondent , accompanied by some daring cowboys , decided to trace tlio rumor to the fountain head. They found a beautiful , untrodden grassy val ley of an area of 100 acres around two sides of what is known on tlm surveyors' maps as Moose lake. Few white men have over passed through the dense for ests and rugged depths to look down into the sheltered dell. No signs of life wore apparent when the nnrippled water re- tlected back the gray moss-covered wall of rocks that stood so nearly perpendicu lar on the border. The entrance to the cave could he seen , but only the black bide and arches marked the home of the object of the search. The investigators passed up the uneven , worn stone Mops up to the door of the subterranean dom icile of llio apparition or angel. They paused , they peered , but all was hidden in tin1 heavy shadows. They hallooed ; an echo answered as from a well. A slir in the passage and a frightful visage was seen , with tangled strings of gray hair dangling , with blinking , watery , red eyes glaring , as a feeble , trembling Indian tottered forward. His attitude was that of defiance as ho placed himself in the door of his dungeon , but the withered form and palsied arm were a miserable caricature or the warrior of lifty years ago. Ho was pushed aside. The reckless men rushed forward guided by a torch , through a winding tunnel , into a great cave , with many angular re cesses and uneven roof and walls. Cor ners and columns divided the vast inter ior into apartments. Uno of the divisions was the wild girl's boudoir. Seated on a robe , in convulsions of fripht , was a well- developed maiden of twelve yours. The torch uaK/.lcd her sight. She turned her face from the intruders and bowed her head and sobbed pitifully. They did not approach her , but turned away and passed from her presence , filled with sorrow row and moved with sympathy , which her intense emotion seemed to commu nicate to oven those thoughtless young men of the plains. The withered old guardian was found to bo dumb. When addressed m the Ncx Porco Indian lan guage ho could understand , but replied only with signs. These facts were pub lished when the party returned to civili zation , nnd Mr. llolbrook , in his far-oil * Colorado homo , read them several weeks after the discovery. He traveled with all possible speed to the Salmon river valley. Ids former homo , and soon organized a party to assist in the rescue , including two of thu company that had made the exploration on tue previous occasion. MUKTING OK KATllKIl ANl > lUUOIITIIK. The faithful Indian was guarding his door. Ho offered no resistance at the entrance , but trotted on before as the invaders passed thu narrow door , and led the way to where the girl sat. She was wrapped in furs to keep warm. The anxious father rushed forward to clasp his daughter to his bosom , but that old relic of a noble race placed his warped frame between father and child. Like n man of straw the Indian was pushed away. No word of meaning , but a wail ot anguish burst from his lips. The girl sprang to her feet , The father was hurled back as if ho had tried to embrace a tigress. The Indian was addressed in his native toiiguo by one of the cowboys , and gave siirus , after some delay , that ho undeistood the situation. Ho communi cated to the frightened child by signs and grunts , find she buttled down on tliu robe , and stared with wild eyes at those around her. After a long oue-slded conversation , the old cave-dweller expressed his con sent that his ward .should go with her father. Shu could sjieak no language , but wa * qiiited by a pantomime on tlio part of her nrotector. To make the btory short , Mr. llolbrook , by a great deal of persuasion nnd some force , suc ceeded in getting his daughter to the house of a friend.

Are Monkeys Mimics ? From "Zo-ologieal Superstition" , " bv Dr. Feliz L. Oswald , in Popular Science Monthly for December ; The authority of Scripture ( I Kings , x , 83) ) warrant * the belief Hint monkeys formed an article of commerce as much ris twenty-eight con- luries ago , so thal'iio ' lack of time can Imve prevented us from studying Iho linuits of our four-handed relatives ; yet it would hardly bean overestimate to say Hint nine hundred anil ninety-nine of a thousand men persist in the belief that monkeys have a passion for imitating iho actions of their two-handed kinsmen ; that , for instance , an ape , seeing Ins mas ter shave himself , would take the first opportunity to get hold of a razor and scrane or cut ids throat. Now , how could that ideaevcrsurvivc Ihisagoof zo ological gardens ? Marcus Aurellushehl lhat the sum of all ethics was tiie rule to "lovo truth and justice , and live with out anger , in the midst of lying and unjust men. " Yet the occupation of a monkey-trainer would put that tolerance to n sovsro test. With an intelligence sur passing that of the most intelligent dog. n monkey combines an ultrii-niullsh de gree of obstinacy , and , rather than imi tate the demonstrative manipulations of the kindest instructor , ho will sham fear , sham lameness , sham heaii-disease , and iionornlly wind up by falling down In a sham lit of epileptic convulsions. I have owned monkeys of at least twenty differ- cut species and have never boon able to discover the sliglili'nt trace of lhat sup posed Donchant for mimicry. A boy may take oil'his coat and turn a thous and somersets , Jaeko will watch the phe nomenon only with a view to getting his lingers inlo the pockets of the unguarded coat. Lifl up your hand a hundred limes Jaeko will witness Iho proceeding with calm indifference , unless a moro em phatic repetition of the mamiMivro should make him dueK his head to dodge an untieinated blow. llo was no desire to follow any human prece dents whatever , and the apparent ex ceptions from lhat rule are , on his part , wholly unintentional and merely a nat ural result of anatomical analogies. An nnury hamadryus babboon. for instance , will strike llio ground with Ids list , not because any Christian visitors have set him that bad example , but because his forefathers have thus for ages vented then wrath on the rooks of the Nubian highlands. A capuchin monkey will pick huckleberries with his fingers , not in deference to civilized custom * , but because - cause his fingers are deft and lonir and his jaws very short. Nay , that same cap uchin moiikey. admitted to a scat at the breakfusl-tab'lo of a punctilious family , would be apt to show his contempt of court bv sticking Ins head in the pudding dish.

Tlio HuHdiall Season. Texas Sittings : 'llic baseball reason is about over.altliough wo read in ti Chicago paper that in soinu of the wnstcrii cities till' excitement is kont'ni ) during tlio win ter by theoretical baseball , whatever that maybe. We should think winter would be n good season to play the game on skates. The players could strike out so easily on skates. They would also bo' union quicker in reaching a base. There is a diversity of opinion as to the usefulness and liiriltlifulness of base ball , so much so that occasionally an at tempt is made to ridicule the national game. We have been informed , for in stance , that in Georgia a man is training monkeys to play baseball. The advan tage of a monkey baseball player is that if lie mull's a ball with his lirst pair of hands he can clutch it with his second. This is an advantage very few profes sional baseball players possess. The basoballist gets such a good salary that the Hov. Sam Jones felt impelled lo remark not long since that there must be something radically wrong when a preacher gets $100 a year and a baseball pitcher gets $ . "i,000. It would so appear. However , the lirst baseballist was some what of a preacher himself. At least Noah was the first pitcher , for we read in the book of Genesis that Noah _ "pitched the ark within unit without. " The game was called on account of the inclemency of the weather. There is also a reference to bnsebH.ll in the 17th chapter of St. Luke , in which Is asked the question. "Where are the nine ? " In tins connection we may re mark that the Itoman Kmpcror Doiiiitian spent much of his time catching Hies. Tlie iimniro , according to all accounts , has tt Imrdcr time of it than the players. When a player is killed his'iiaino is men tioned in the papers , but no'oody suoms to keep tally of the umpires that arc slain Speaking of baseball pitchers , ive are reminded of the fact that they vury in ca pacity.

O A BRILLIANT GANG OF BEAKS Oaptura of Famous Robbers rind Their Trial in London , A STORY FROM OLD BAILEY. A Noted Diamond llobbcrj- mid the Conviction of tlio Thlovos Xlio Career of tbo CfimtnnU. London News : The great diamond- robbery trial thul cumo to n conclusion yesterday at the old Bailey with the con viction of all the accused deserves a place , u the history of crime. The thieved formed a gang , six in nninbor , anil it has .akcn two trials to dispose of them. At Llio first trial a supposed Frenchman bearing the alias of Toussaint , who turned out to bo an Italian named Do- nuncio , was convicted of his share of the crime , and sentenced to llftccn 3 cars' ' penal servitude , lie had gene with an iiccomplice to the house of a diamond merchant named Tabak on prelonso of seeing his stock , and while the accom plice attacked thu old man with a life- preserver , Demmeio ran off with his diamonds mends , llo was pursued by a bravo scrvanl-girl , caught , nnd in duo time brought to trial. A sentence of penal servitude was nothing to Dennneio. Of the twenty-seven and rmc-lmlf years ho has be n among us ho lias passed twenty-live in our jails , and , as he is now an old man , ho will proba bly end his days on n prison bed , The police , however , were not content with Ids eanturo. They were active in their imiuines for his accomplices , of whom there were known to bo more than one , and at length they worn ublu to place as many as live men in the dock on various charges connected with the urlmo. Fac ing the prisoners at this second trial as the principal witness against them was their old comrade Donnucio in his con vict garb. And to corroborate Dcnuneio appeared , by and by , his daughter , a young woman who was a cast-oil' mis tress of a barber named Jaeoby , one of the licensed. The other prisoners were two jewelers named Weiner and two men named Palmer ami Seambland , who followed that vague profession of "gen eral dealer" which appears to bo so much in favor with thieves. According to the theory of the prosecution , Jaeoby and the two Weiners had planned the robbery , Donnnuio and Palmer had carried it out , and Seambland had watched outside to keep the coast clear while they were doing the work. The terrible old reprobate Dennneio ( not inaptly named ) first told his tale , lie was extremely candid about his own rascalities as became him now that ho had no longer any motive for conceal- niont. Ile'lnitiated the judge into the mystery of maceing , which appears to bo the art of stealing jewels from shop counters while you are pretending to ex amine them for purchase. Ho confessed that ho was such an inveterate thief that , although he know all Air. Tabak's'dia mends were shortly to bo in his pos session , ho could not resist tliu tempta tion of macuinjr a few of them buloro the parcel was made up. He dropped thooo in hisppeketbook while his friend Palmer was lingering the life-preserver , llo had completed a term of penal servi tude in 1881 , and after a trip to Italy with ins daughter ho came back to England to thd "employment , " and soon entered into thu conspiracy to rob Mr. Tabak. Ho mentioned his want of work to Jaeoby , and Jucoby said that a friend of his could give him something to do. and introduced him to ono of the-Werners. The Woiner.s know of excellent employ ment. Among the persons with wnoin they had dealings , as jewelers , was the diamond merchant labak , who lived in Belgravo street , Knston road. He had sometimes many thousands of nounds' worth of diamonds in iiis possession , yet the only other ocennants of his house and guardians of the premises were his wife and a servant-girl. Ho w-is always anx ious to do business ; and well nigh any one that camn might bo shown upstairs and have nobody between him and all ihoso costly gems but a feeble old man. Thu Tabak robbery was soon decided on "in principle.11 But it took spine mouths to mature , and , not to lee time , Douuii- cio nnd one of the VYeiners wont to Paris and did a little maceing there. Dcnunoio operated inside the shops , while Weiner watched in the street ; but partners as they were , the former sometimes oper ated on his own account. Ho took n pair of diamond earrings , for instance , of which ho said nothing to his friend. On the same occasion ho stole a blank in- voieo form. This form , on their return to England , was lilled up with bogus particulars of a tansaction in diamonds for JW.OOO francs , and was shown casually to Air. Tabak to convince him tlr.it his customers wore really in the wholesale trade. Dennncio's professional facility is ono of the most startling things in the report of the trial. He seems to lay hands on whatever ho wants , no matter whore it .nay be , jewelry on the. counter , under the watchful eye of the ownur.or Invoices at the desk. But quo thing tends to hold him in cheek his terror of violent courses. Tlie thought of using a life-pro- server on Mr. Tabak is at first , altogether too union for him. Ho experiments with chloroform , and when that has to bo given up ho covers the life-preserver with gutta-percha , not only to deaden the sound of the blow , but to miniml/.o thu injury. Ho seems to bo unable to endure the sight of blood , a repulsion by no means uncommon among the most utterly depraved. "For God's sako.doif t do it , " ho pleads , when they go to Tabak'.s the llr.st time , and he tells Palmer that ho hears a noise. The all'air has to he postponed , Mr. Tabak is to have the diamonds ready , and his two customers are to call for thorn another day. At the ie\t : visit Uennneio runs away as soon as he hears the lira ! blow. His nervousness , reacting on his com panion , probably saved thu diamond mer chant's life. Tno old man was hit but not hard enough to prevent him from calling out , and , though u second blow stunned him , the cry had alarmed the fueblo guard of this straugo treasure houso. The servant girl , Clara Uttling , hears a scream unit the sound of men rushing down stairs. Shu rushed after them and now the watcher at thu door has to play Ids part. He seizes tliu girl and usks her what is the mutter , but she breaks from him and gives chaau to thu ImtlesDeimnuio , who is soon rim down , Palmer , hatlesstoo , has run in a different direction , and gets oh" for u time , llo jumiH into a cab at Huston and drives to Portland road station , then walks into the llampstead road and buys himself u hat. llo must have wondered all this time what had beeonin of his com panion and the diamonds. I In has not to wonder long. If ho reads his paper by must soon have learned that both the diamonds and Dennneio had found their way to the house of detention , where the hitter had tried to get rid of his compromising booty by dropping it into a pail. They weru worth hut 1,400 in all , and this , in any ca.su , must huvo Involved a grievous disappointment to thy conspirators. They had reckoned thatTabak's "job" would bring in i'KI.OOQ . and that after an honorarium of i'lOJ ( lor agency to Jaeoby , the barber , theru would have been juat Di)0 ; ) ( ( ) each foi ; the live principals in thu affair.

The police as usual aetcd on "information re ceived , " and there was shrewd suspicion , which found expression in the earlier stage of the proceeding.1 : , that the girl De- nuncio was the principal informer. She had been virtually abandoned by her lover , though for his own sake ho kept up relations of a kind with her after the crime. Her father , on his part , was not unwilling to have his ac complices with him to cheer his prison solitude , and .soon father and daughter vieil with each other ii > the fullness of their disclosures. This created curtain difficulties for thu prosecution. Accord ing to the general practice , if not ac cording to strict law , the evidence of De- nuncio , as an accomplice , required cor- roboralion , and there was a question whether it could bo corroborated by the evidence of his daughter , who , as the de fense contended , was virtually an ac complice , too. 'flio technical question was argued on the rather line point ol tier knowledge of a certain transaction at a certain date. The outcome of it al1 , as will bo scon by our report , is thai a des perate gang have < rol their deserts , and that penal servitude in varying terms is the ( loom of every ruillaii who stooil in the itock. . HnlfordHaiico is palatable nnd healthy. A wealthy and conscientious Scotch- mun , who lives in Bowmanville , Canada , recently received n quantity of goods from the old country , and on his assur ance that there was nothing dutiable in the parcels the goods weru delivered to him without tax by the customs ollicur. On reaching home , however , ho found a gold watch among the effects , and re turning to Bowman villo ho stated I ho facts to the customs oflicer and paid $7.50 duty on the time piece , The steamship Assyrian Monarch , from London , which arrived at New York on Thursday , had on board several line spec imens of the animal world , of which thorn were thrco kangaroos from the Central Park zoological giiriions.

Diphtheria Is a terrible disease , requir ing the groate.it medical skill to effect a complete cure. Kvun when its power is broken it clings to the patient with great persistency , and often leaved the system poisoned and prostrated. Just here Hood's Sursuparilhi does a vast amount of good , expelling impurities from thu blood , giving it richness and vitality , while it renovates and strengthens the system. As llio result of a wairor on the con gressional election , Alderman Doiiahoo , of Albany , drove a team to a coal yard , imid for a ton of coal , shoveled It into tlie wiigon himself , drove it to Oongrosiinan- elecl ICtino's riMlduui'o , and shoveled it into the cellar in the presence of an en thusiastic crowd.
