Court convened at Chesterfield ' Monday with his Honor Judge ( Gage presiding, and all the other Court offiicials in their respective places. The case against Johu Harley, was nol prossed on payment of ] $25. ' Jesse Norton plead guilty to * the charge of housebreaking and 1 larceny and was sent to'the chain, 1 gang for 30 days. This case at- ! tracted considerable attention. Some months ago the express oftDorTfalonrJ -irrna pnt'ororl nnd ' UU9 a u i. a^giuuu i? mm vmw. two jugs of liquor stolen. Suspicion was directed to Norton and he wa9 arrested. He did not deny the charge but said that one T.A. Clark aided and abeted the crime 1 in fact he claims that Clark in ' duced him to do the stealing and ; went with him. Clark was arrested and when placed on trial denied the charge. Ho admitted 1 that he was with Norton the 1 night of the robbery but says they went to the gypsie camp where they spent the night. Next morning he says Norton told him he had some whiskoy that he had bought from a wagon and had paid a negro 50 cents to bring it down to the railroad for him. Ho ' went and got the liquor and Clark said he bought one jug full from Norton. Clark, a week after the robbery told about buying loquor from Norton and bis statement led to Norton's arrest. Norton was the only witness against Clark. The jury believed Norton, however, and after only a few minutes deliberation brought in a verdict of guilty and Clark was sentenced to the gang for 9 months. Mr. Pollock, for Clark, vaivlipf Ho cnf 1 USKCU LiJUb vuc y^iuivv w ?uv aside and a new trial granted. He made an eloquent appeal but ' . the Judge refused.

In rienry Ilacrloln's novel "Yrivand" there Is a discovery about ibo expression of I lie emotions which even i'arwln forgot t<> record. It Is to the effect tint woman chiefly uses her Pack to rsmvey her sent intents. And, indeed, any close observer of tlie human comedy enn hardly fail to notice that dees a woman wish to annihilate a rival and east despair Into the soul of a lover j she simply turns an expressive hack I cpon tlicm. No tears, no wrath, no In-1 dignation, can vie with this maneuver, j which has, too, the advantage of being noncommittal, for no one. In the current jargon, can "give herself away"' with her back. The expression of the , emotions by this part of the anatomy Is dignified, if a trlllo limited. When a woman cries she Is too apt to make | 4 a deplorable grimace. Does she get \ angry, her face will assume an unbe- j f coming red. Very few understand the j p use of the gesture of the hands and arms. That is why woman, with her j primordial Instinctive wisdom, uses ] her back, especially wnen it is oeuuuful, as one of the chief weapons In the j eternally diverting war of the sesbs. Women Laborers. Women are largely employed In Praguo and elsewhere In Bohemia as ordinary day laborers In the construction of buildings. They mix mortar, sift sand aud carry bricks and mortar to various parts of the buildings being constructed. For such service they are paid.from 82 to 87 cents per day. Women also unload coal, carrying It from the wagon on the street to the cellar of1 the building. For this they aro paid 40 cents per day and work from G a. m. to G p. in., with an hour for dinner. - I Simple Remedy For LaGrippe.

President Monroe called at the residence of the president elect, who then resided on F street, opposite the Ebbltt House, and here they were Jollied by the military escort, and the procession, headed by the cavalry, moved at once to the capltol.

The Inauguration of "Old Tippecanoe" was one of the greatest events that ever occurred In tho national capital. After tho furious campaign which preceded his election great crowds gathered in Washington to witness the Inauguration. Exactly one month after this President Harrison died, and on April 6 John Tyler took the oath of office before William Cranch, chief Judge of the circuit court of the District of Columbia. It was a cold, rainy day when President Polk was inaugurated, but there was a long procession of the military as well as civic organizations. Zachary Taylor had fine weather, unlimited noise and great ceremonies attending his Inauguration. As the 4tb fell on Sunday, ho was Inaugurated on Monday. As President Taylor died on July 0, one year after his Inauguration, Vice President Millard Fillmore took tho oath of office on July 10 In the house of representatives. Tho Inauguration of Franklin Pierce was unique In the fact that the vice president elect, William It. King, was { not In Washington to be sworn into office, but was on a mission to uuDa and took the oath of office at a plantation on the hills above Mntnnzas at the some time President Elect Tierce was being sworn in in Washington. There was no inaugural ball. The 4th of March, 1857, was a splendid day, and James Buchanan was inaugurated with much pomp and ceremony. After reaching the White House President Buchanan held a public reception and at night attended | the Inauguration ball, which was held in a building in Judiciary square erected for that purpose. The Lincoln Festivities. Abraham Lincoln had a bright, clear day for his first inauguration, but it rained and the streets were wet and muddy when he took his second oath of office. The martyr president went to the capital from Springfield by way of Indianapolis, Columbus, Cleveland, Pittsburg and Philadelphia, and, although he was given receptions all along the way, when he reachecj Harrisburg, on account of threatened violence, It was thought best to change the plans, and he proceeded to Philadelphia in one of the public cars, and, arriving there at midnight, ho entered the New York sleeper and passed through Baltimore undisturbed and arrived in Washington at 0:30 on the morning of Feb. 23. He remained at Willard's hotel until the inauguration day, when President Buchanan called for him, and in an open carriage the party proceeded to the capitol. In order to avoid threatened violence the president and president elect in their carriage were preceded by a company of infantry, double flies of the District cavalry on either side and infantry and other military organizations following. In the long procession there was a large car or float representing the constitution and the Union, each state being represented by a little girl dressed in white. A battalion of District troops guarded the steps of the capitol. The ceremony of swearing in the vice president In the senate completed, the entire party marched to the east portico of the capitol, where the great scene of I rwodrine in iuAiiiiii Lincoln took Mr. Lincoln was inaugurated for the second time. There were evidences of the war everywhere, and gloom and sadness covered the whole land. The president went to the capltol early to sign bills, and therefore the parade marched down without him. The procession, however, was noteworthy. " " rfmi ' ' y;nm.m Pf^ - + *!J9fr^& %w* i'f^^Jh''^vi:jSnrBrWPY1^""'flBr WSs&m t?r * >/V? i MftMWQO. <V. m&^JI IIS INAUGURAL ADDRESS.

The best way to destroy ordinary black gunpowder Is to throw It Into a stream under conditions that prevent any harm coming to human beings or animals through the dissolving of the saltpeter. If no suitable stream Is available, the gunpowder may be stirred with water in tubs, or the dry gunpowder may be poured out on the ground In a long thin line and Ignited with a fuse at one end. To destroy dynamite cartridges the paper wrappings should bo carefully removed, the bare cartridges laid In a row with their ends In contact and the first cartridge Ignited with a fuse without a cap. Even with these precautions a simultaneous explosion of the / entire mass may occur, so that It is ' wise to retire to a safe distance. The row of cartridges should be laid parallel with the wind and Ignited at the leeward end, so that the flame will be driven away from the mass. Frozen dynamite should be handled with special care, as its combustion is peculiarly liable to assume an explosive character. A small quantity of dynamite may be destroyed by throw- 1 ing It in very small bits into an open ( fire, or the cartridges may be exploded < one by one in the open air with fuses and caps. ( Dynamite should never bo thrown into water, as tne nitroglycerin wnicn It contains remains undissolved and capable of doing mischief. Other explosives which contain nitroglycerin should be treated in the same way as dynamite. Ammonium nitrato explosives maj* be thrown in small fragments into an open fire or if they do not contain nitroglycerin may be destroyed by means of water. Explosive caps should be exploded singly with pieces of fuse.?Scientific American. Isn't It Foolish To Burn Money? Of course! What a question? Are you free from suspicion of being foolish?
