The county board yesterday settled the
matter of caring for the county's sick nnd In-
firm. It wns decided to rescind the action by
which St. Bernard's ' hospital was to hnvosolo
cnro of these patients for a term of three
years. The cause of this change of mind wns
brought about by the showing tnndo by the
committee- - from the Woman's Christian asso
ciation hospital , urging that they should have
n share of the public fund , ns tticy had been
doing n larpo amount of ennrlty. work. The
latter hospital has not accommodations for
caring for nil tha sick nnd nged paupers , but
the ladles wanted to have all that they could
cnro for , and It was decided by the boara to
grant their request. Those which they cnn
not care toe uro to bo taken to St. Bernard's
hospital. Tno county Is to pay the same rate
to each liosiiltnl--f"i ti week for the care of
the sick , nnd fcJ a week for those who are
simply aged or Infirm. The ladles seemed
satisfied at this cqultablo division , and the
sisters will doubtless also bo.
Ills amusing to notice the strong prejudices
which such a llttlo incident calls forth in
human ifaturo. Some living near the Wo
man's Christian association hospital , In ono
part of the city , have been quite annoyed at
the idea that the ladies should conclude
to locate their hospital there , nnd were
rather pleased ut the lueaof having the
hospital deprived of what llttlo support came
from the care of the county's ' poor. On the
other hand there is as strong , or stronger ,
prejudice among some residing near St.
Bernard's ' hospital , located In the other ex
treme of the city. They expressed consider-
nblo indignation ttiat the citizens of the
Fourth ward had succeeded In forcing all the
sick paupers out of their neighborhood , and
driving thorn Into that nirt : of the city where
St. Honiara's ' hospital is located. They began
urging that thcso cases bo sent to the Wo
men's Christian association hospital , claim
ing that It was bad enough to have the coun
ty's Insane cared for nt St. Bernard's with
out the addition of the cripples and the pov
erty stricken.
Under the now arrangement there will bo
sorao at ono hospital and some nt the other ,
so that both classes of fault-llndors will have
still a chance to object.

Appealed to the District Court.
A fevr days ngo a man named A. Q. Harris
was gathered In by the police to render an
account to the city for a plain drunk ho was
enjoying. Ho sobered off In the sewer in the
usual manner nnd the next morning was
holding an aching head before Judge MoOoo.
It was a plain case and the ovldenco of the
patrolman was overwhelming. The Judge
wns about to assess the usual $10 line and
costs when Harris asked for a continuance of
the case until ho could consult nn attorney.
A sufficient bond was provided and the cnso
was continued for several days. It cnmo to
trial yesterday morning. Harris was repre
sented by Kinmct Tlnloy. The same irre
futable evidence was presented. The officer
who nrrcstcd him told of the dlfllculty Harris
was experiencing In endeavoring to keep
a perpendicular position , and now ho
frequently grew tired nnd laid down
on the sldewa'k ' nnd rested n while.
The complement of officers of the patrol
wagon recited the story of the ride to the
central station and how Harris wanted to
Ho down In the bottom of the wagon. The
city Jailers , who nro somewhat accustomed to
seeing drunken men , tokl the court their
opinion concerning the stage of intoxication
the gentleman was In when they turned the
key upon him. To nil of which the accused
entered an emphatic plea of no-such-thlng.
The usual line was then imposed , nnd the
costs made the amount Harris was nsked to
pay reach $15.70. His attorney nt once gave
notice of an appeal to the district court , and
the necessary appeal bond was presented and
approved by the court.
This llttlo incident brings up n practice
that has been very common for years past ,
and which has occupied the attention of the
city council on many occasions. The
records in the city clerk's oftlco show that
there have been fully a thousand cases sim
ilar to this appealed to the district court , and
there Is not a single one where the record
shows that the ease was followed up and
prosecuted In tno higher tribunal. Iti a largo
number of cases the defendants' attorneys
have neglected to follow the case aud secure
n dismissal when it wns called and would
have been dismissed for lacx of prosecution
if the motion had been mado. It is the opin
ion of the city's successive legal advisers
that the bonds In all of thcso cases could ho
collected , for thov were virtually declared
forfeited by the district judges. The council
has boDn advised that there are n good many
thousand dollars within roach In this direc
tion , but no action has over been taken.
The action in the Harris case trccalls
another feature of this business tha is of
public interest. Hundreds of men who have
been arrested for minor dlsdcmcaiiors have
discovered In the fact that there Is no prop
erly delegated onicer to follow up these
appealed cases and prosecute them in the dis
trict court , a very cheap and certain method
of avoiding payment of the fines Imposed in
the police court. If the line Is moro than they
care to pay they will employ an attorney nnd
no ono appears to prosecute It ; the attorney
they have employed appears anil moves for a
dismissal on the grounds of failure of the
state to prosecute ; It is sustained , nnd the
follow gets off by the payment of his attorney
fees. The dismissal of the case of course re
lieves the bondsmen nnd the matter Is ended.
This practice Is qulto generally followed
by all the fellows who get behind the bars In
the city Jail for minor offences. They escape
punishment and the city loses its portion of
the lines that should have been paid. It is
possible that some city solan will some day
hit upon a cheap but effective plan for
heading off these shrewd fellows and save
the city a good many thousand dollars.

Intulert at.Kotv Orleans.

boroil nnd honored ut Ghnlinotto , writes
u Now Orleans ( tyrrcspondont of llio
Now York Times. H IH near the scene
ol the battle of Now Orleans , \rhoro
Aincrleuu stratagem und courage won u
decisive victory over British dash and
bravery , and Is Him object of many a pll-
grlmmago throughput tlio year. Few of
the visitors , hoiyovor , uro . aware that

whoroa regiment of KngHsh soldiers
mndo n chut-go thai rivals Bulukhiva for
Intrepidity und daring. The successors
and dcscomlonts of the gallant Soots who
made tlio char-go for they were Albion's '
men now propose to erect a monument
to these who foil on that occasion , and
the Interesting uvont will probably take
place on January 8,1891.
The vonurablo historian , Judge Alex-
nndor Wulkor , formerly oilltor of the
Now Orleans lloralil , In hla narratlvo ,
"Jackson nnd Now Orleans , " writes in
reference to the celebrated charge of the
Ninety-third : "Kciino , judging very
rashly that the moment had arrived for
him to act , now wheeled his line into
column ( it hud boon us wo have BOOH ; In
tended us a rofcorvo to threaten without
advancing upon the American lines ) ,
nnd with the Ninety-third in front ,
pushed forward to net' Ills part In the
bloody tragedy. The gallant and stalwart
hlghliindors , MOO strong , strode , across
the ensanguined Hold with tholr
heavy , solid , massive front of 100 mon
and their bright muskets glittering in
the morning sun , which now began to
scatter a few rays over the Hold of
strife. Onward pushed the Tnrttin war
riors , regardless of the concentrated
lire of the batteries , which now pour
thoiriron hail into tholr ranks , Ata
moro rapid pace than the other column
the Ninety-third rushed forward into
the very maelstrom of Carroll's mus
ketry , which swept the field ns if with a
hugo scythe. Tlio gallant Dulo , oolonol
of the regiment , fulfilled his prophecy
and fell at the head of his regiment.
Major Crongh tlion took command. In
cited by the example of the Ninety-third ,
the remnant of Gibbs' ' brigade again
cnmo up , with PiicUcnhntn on their left
and Gibba on the right. They hud approached
preached within 100 yards of tlio lino.
"At this moment tlio standard bearer
of the Ninety-third , feeling something
rubbing against his epaulet , turned and
perceived through the smoke the small
black horse which Packonliam now
roclo. It was led by his aid , ns ho
seemed to have no use for his right arm.
In his left hand he held his cap , which
ho waived in the air , crying : "Hurrah !
Bravo highlanders ! ' At this Instant
there was a terrific crash , as if the con
tents of ono of the big guns of the Amor-
cans had fallen on the spot ,
killing and wounding nearly
all who wore near. It was then the en
sign of the Ninety-third saw the horse
of Packonliam fall and the general roll
from the saddle into the arms of Captain
MoDougall , who sprang forward to ro-
ccivo him. A grapeshot had struck the
general on the thigji and passed through
his horse , killing the latter immediately.
As Captain McUougall and some of his
mon were raising the general another
ball struck him on the groin , which pro
duced nn immediate paralysis. Tlio
wounded and dying general was berne to
the rear and laid down in the shndo of a
venerable live oak. standing in the cen
ter of the Hold , beyond the reach of the
American guns , in a few minutes the
gallant young ofllccr breathed his last.
The old oak under .which Paekenham
yielded up his soul still stands , bent and
twisted bv time and1' ilium * tempests.

"Why liniikH Don't Wnnt Gold.
"Do you know that gold is the most
unwieldy of all the different kinds of
money now in circulation ? " said a prom
inent banker to a correspondent of the
Indianapolis Journal.
"WhyV" was asked.
"Because it is not bankable without
careful scrutiny. "
"How is that ? "
"Simply this. Take a greenback , a
silver certificate , a gold certificate , or a
national bank note to your bank und it
is received nnd placed to your credit
without a moment's delay. Not so with
gold. A few days ago a gentleman
brought to our bank upward of $3,000 In
gold of different denominations and was
much provoked because wo would not
receive it forthwith and give him credit
with the amount the face of the coin
represented. This wo could not do , be
cause the law requires that gold shall
bo redeemed only at its actual value.
Coins carried in the poukots for any
length of tlmo naturally lose something
in weight by abrasion , probably but n
fractional part of a cent on n $10 piece ,
but it Is a loss , nevertheless , nnd there
fore bankoM cannot give credit for gold
deposits until the coin shall have boon
weighed.
"In the case in point my friend took
his gold to the treasury department and
was compelled'to wait there nearly nn
hour before ho could got notes for it.
Kvory coin had to bo passed through
the scales , and after the weighing pro
cess had been completed three coins ,
two $5 pieces nnd ono $10 piece , were re
turned to him nij dhort in weight. Before -
fore returning 'siiort-weight coins the
department stamps on the face of each a
cross. The owner is loft either to send
the coin to the Ujiiled States mint for
redemption or to again put thorn in cir
culation. Eventually the coins with
crosses on their faces will go to the mint
and bo redeemed 'at tholr actual valuo.
In many Instances there may not bo
moro than sovoriU'cents shortage on $50
worth of coin , Illness men , however ,
object to the inconvenience , nnd got rid
of tholr gold us fast as possible. "

Mr. Gladstone is well known to bo the

communications from too xealous ad
mirers , says the London Daily News.
Many of them are found to bo notallttlc
embarrassing , as they demand some
thing moro than merely the convenient
reply by post card. To sucli an extent
is Mr. Gladstone troubled in this re
spect that the following announcement
has been requested : "In consequence ol

The Sources from \Vhloh tlio 1'ro.luct
IH Derived.
Since iho discovery of the value of
nickel stool plates largo calculations of
profit are indulged In by owners of
nickel properties and others interested
in smelting works , says the Iron Age.
The future demands for armor plating
are put down at largo llgurcs , and if ac
counts are entitled to credence there is
something like a scramble by manufact
urers in tbo United States and Europe to
ftccuro themselves from the greed of
mine monopolists. Tlio sources of sup
ply , therefore , are inquired into with
unwonted Interest. Hitherto the demand
for nickel has been on a comparatively
limited scale. So It happened some years
ago when mines were opened in Noumea
and two full cargoes were shipped for
consumption that the market at once be
came overstocked , prices dropped to a
nominal figure , bankruptcy became im
minent und the mines which bad been
exploited with HO much enthusiasm were
incontinently closed. The situation at
present is radically changed , for in addi
tion to the wldo demand for nickel in the
arts , chiefly on account of its anti-corro
sive qualities , the metal Is discovered to
possess a peculiar ductility which admits
ot 1U use as an alloy with special advan
tages. For example , a now French rillo
cartridge has boon brought out , in
which nickel forms a.i essential part.
Hut it wns not until the superiority of
nickel steel for certain purposes was an
nounced Unit the nickel boomers got
fairly to work.
Tlio nickel mines in Now Caledonia
were the richest known up to a recent
date , and were tlio principal dependence.
Considerable quantities of nickel have
come from mines in Norway , owned and
worked by Sir Hussoy Vivian , Bart , M.
P. Tlio United States mint derives its
supply from mines in Lancaster county ,
Pennsylvania , owned by Joseph
"Wharton. Tlio discovery of nickel
at Sudbury , in Canada , is of
recent date , so that the develop
ment ns yet is very imperfect
but indications point to the existence of
the ore in largo quantities. These mines
are said to bo owned jointly by a Cleveland -
land syndicate , the Canadian copper
company and Sir Hussoy Vivian , the
latter represented by Emerson Footo of
Now York. The matte from Sudbury
carries 30 per cent of copper and 15 per
cent of nlckol , and in this form is sent
largely to Swanseo , where tlio pure
nlckol is extracted.
Wo are informed that qult3 an extra
ordinary discovery of nickel has been
made qulto recently in Nevada. Among
tlioso best informed it is spolcon of ns "a
wonderful development , " und this repre
sentation is supported by the exhibit in
this city of masses of ore. It is claimed
that the nickel is found in deposits al
most limitless and of such richness -that
even what is termed the lowest grade
yields 8 to 12 per cent of pure motal.
Quantities aggregating hundreds of tons
are in sight which give by analysis from
20 to 35.-4 per cent of ingot motal.
Tbo consumption of pure nlckol in the
United States has been estimated at 800-
000 pounds per annum. But in this
country and elsewhere there will bo in
creased demands , partly as the result of
tbo recent discovery of malleable nickel
used ns a veneer for iron , which is made
a moro acceptable material for household
utensils. Private London advices re
ceived in Now York , and said to bo
wholly authentic , are to the elTcct that
the British government has recently
boon unable to place nickel steel orders ,
because tbo nickel could not bo obtained.
This small supply is attributed mainly to
reduced receipts from Now Caledonia.
The present prico. in Now York is 80
cents per pound for delivery during the
ensuing year. From the forgoing it
would appear that the Sudbury mines
form the main reliance , although it is by
no means certain , if entire dcpendonco
can bo placed on the latest advices , that
Nevada will not in duo time bo ranked
equal , or oven of moro importance. De
velopments at those two points will bo
watched with unusual expectancy , es
pecially if it is true that the Now Cale
donia mines are less productive than
formerly. _
A Porcupine Very Fond of Leather.
Atbough the "fretful porcupine" is
almost unknown in Orange county , the
curious creature is quite numerous in
the wooded districts of Sullivan , Ulster
and Delaware counties , says the Midland
Argus.
Ono of the porcupine's peculiarities is
its inordinate fondness for leather , which
it seems to think ono of the daintiest of
tid-bits , and it not infrequently happens
that ono of thorn , if it gets a chanceat a
sot of harness , will destroy it in a single
night , and many a trout llshormnn , who
has lelt his wutor-Boakcd boots or shoes
out of doors nt night , bus risen in the
morning to find them chewed to pieces
by n porcupine's sharp teeth.
It is not often , however , that thcso
animals enjoy such a feast as the ono
which lives somewhere in tbo vicinity of
Jim Gibbon's blacksmith shop at Stock-
nort , Delaware county , has partaken of ,
for twice within a year , the last time but
a few days ago , tbo "pesky crittor" bus
entered his shop and oaten up his bel
lows. Any ono who has seen a black
smith's hollows knows how much leather
there is in ono of them , and when , ns
happened last week , the porcupine , in a
single night , ate up moro than half of
ono it will bo seen that ho had indeed a
sumptuous feast nnd must have been
fairly gorged with leather.

IiiundntloiiH In St. Petersburg.
Never In the history of St. Petersburg ,
writes onr correspondent , has there been
such a series of inundations as during
the present autumn , says the London
Nows. Standing as it does upon a nar
row nock of low-lying land between the
Baltic sea and the great Ladoga lake ,
St. Petersburg is liable to bo Hooded
when the barometer Is low , and when
the wind is high , either from tbo cast or
from the west , but particularly from tbo
latter direction. An inch of fall in tlio
barometer is equivalent to a rlso in the
water level of ono foot. Aud it docs not
require a very strong gale to force tbo
watnr up the Gulf of Finland and raise
the level of tbo Nova three or four foot
above its normal. A rlso of live feet and
upwards constitutes a Hood. Guns are
then Hrod to warn the inhabitants of tbu
cellars ( and there nro countless shops in
collars ) that danger threatens them.
Five times this year has the nbovo men
tioned figure boon passed , nnd on ono
occasion Iho water reached nearly eight
feet nbovo the normal.
