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.

A Tax on French HnntiolorH.
A petition in favor of reviving the tax
upon bachelors in Franco has been pre
sented to the chamber of deputies.
There are numerous precedents for it ,
and even a rumibllq can take delight in
precedents. Plato is cited in favor of it ,
for he condemned bachelors to n lino.
Koine mulcted them in heavy damages ,
and in Sparta ' 'the women were allowed
to druir bachelors into thu tumulo of
llerunlus and give them a sound thrash
ing. " There does nut seem to bo a do
main ! on thu | > art of the women of
, France for a similar privilege. It is ap
parently from men that thu petition has
proceeded , that the republic should fol
low the example of the French conven
tion and revive this tax.

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 ,

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

shoulders , bho was startled looKed fern

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.

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. The old Indian ao-

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. The compulsive methods of pro
fessional trainers may modify that per
versity , but during recess the redeemed
fonr-haiidur is sure to drop his mask ,
and , unlike a trained dog , will never vol
unteer Iho performance of a pouukir

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

Haseball is very nm'cli cultivated at our
colleges and other institutions of learn

There Is no indication that the interest
in baseball is decreasing. It is true that
it Ib plaved out , but that is because them

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. Their fail
ure to secure any booty whatever may

the first instance is not quite clear. 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. Ono of
them is mouse-colored , and two are
nearly blnok. They are live years old
and liiiino from Australia , and were fed
mostly upon hay during the voyage , but
showed a preference for cabbages ,
Alter Diphtheria.
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

elecl ICtino's riMlduui'o , and shoveled it
into the cellar in the presence of an en
thusiastic crowd. 'I'hu horses ami

Two coal minors al I'ilisbiirg , Pa. , re
