\ Raleigh, N. C.. telegram says: Peace
•iiul (|«iet usually rule in this tree-shadowed
town, broken only by the thunder of rail-
, va y trains and the occasional assault of
some overboldioomio opera company. Hut
just now the place is writhiu,. n agony of
'jugal doubt. Men are going about with an
expression of pain and anxietyon their faces
and a gnawing at their hearts. The town 1
is aroused, and there is going to be one of .
the biggest discussions on tine points of
taw that ever worried the historic walls of I
justice. Is a living mud turtle a j
'deadly weapon? That is what the
town of Raleigh wants to know, and i
that is W'hat it is going to ilnd out if |
there is legal talent enough in North Car- ,
olina to decide the momentous point. The j
other day two men had a quarrel in front
of the market house. Men will quarrel,
even in Raleigh. Sometimes u man hits !
another with his list, and sometimes he
kicks him. Occasionally one goes to the
goat for his science and butts. But this !
time one man named Jones seized a plain
mud turtle and proceeded, with intent to I
maim, bruise, lame or break up, to whack
over the head with it another man named I
Yearby. It is not stated what Yearby dhi
to provoke this hard-shell treatment, but
bis heart was more thoroughly lareerated I
than it would have been if he bad indulged
in a difference of opinion with a perfect
gentleman from Boston. The aforesaid
turtle weighed ttfteeu pounds, which, hit
ting a man all at once, is supposed to be
sufficient to make him stop and wonder
who he is. But, in addition to this, the
turtle was alive. And now the beautiful
point of law arises as to whether the dam
age was done to the head of Yearby simply
by the impact of a common turtle shell,
moving on a parabolic curve and influ
enced to a certain extent by the muscles of
a human arm, or whether the turtle arous
ed to a momentary personal interest in the
proceedings, came to the conclusion that
this was about as much his picnic as any
body’s, and proceeded with the customary
alacrity of his species to subtract about u
pound of human flesh from the Yearby
family.

Love by tl»i» (mllon.

The mayor of the town flecided that a
mud turtle was a deadly weapon, and
bound both parties to answer before the
superior court in July, when Judge Phil
lips will grind up his loins and wrestle with
this great question. It has been decided
that a bull dog, properly aimed and set of}’
by a man, is a deadly weapon, and it will
be argued in this case that a mud turtle is
equally deadly. When a mud turtle pos
sesses a necessary amount of ability to get
there to make him the equal of a bull
dog, whether he can ire aimed with equal
certainty, and whether he can catch on
with the same amount of pure cussedness
are points that will animate and cheer the
atmosphere of the state when this case
comes up.
AN ELOPING COUPLE IN PERIL.
Overturned in u Swollen Stream—Ilcsnieil by
Clinging to a Horse's Tail.
Red Sulphur Springs, Va., June 19.—
Early this morning Earl Law, a young law
yer, and Miss Mariana Winslow eloped
from the home of the young lady’s parents
for the purpose of getting married. The
pair were in a buggy and made good time
until India creek was reached. The creek
was very high, but an attempt was made
to ford it. When midway of the stream
the vehicle was washed over and the oc
cupants thrown into the water. The
young man lodged against a broken
tree in the middle of the creek
and caught the lady as the rush
ing waters were carrying her down.
Fortunately, at the root of this tree there
was sufficient foothold for him to stand so
that the water only came up to his arm-
pits, but on either side of him was too deep
and the current too strong for him to ven
ture to reach the shore. Ho had the
young lady in his arms for two hours be
fore they were discovered. Their position
was mutle more unpleasant by the hot
sun pouring down on them. Luckily
when the buggy was overturned an um
brella was thrown in reach of the young
man and he managed to open it and hold
it over the young lady’s head.
The rescue was even more novel than the
catastrophe. A young man, although the
risk wasgreat, swam a strong horse to the
tree, anil the lady and her lover clung
to the animal’s tail and were rowed safely
to laud. The young lady’s father was in
pursuit, and stood on the bank when she
was taken from the water. Consequently
the marriage was postponed.
llmul Million! Yeast.
It is a well known fact that bread made
with yoast, if eaten before it becomes stale,
ferments again in the stomach, producing
indigestion nnd numerous other com
plaints. Bread raised with Royal Baking
Powder, instead of yeast, is entirely with
out this defect; but on the contrary, is one
of the most effectual preventives of indi
gestion or dyspepsia. By the use of Royal
Baking Powder the saccharine properties
of the flour, which are destroyed by fer
mentation with yeast, are preserved and
the bread is made more nutritious. Ten per
cent, more bread is baked—because of tliis
saving—from the same quantity of flour. ■
The Royal Baking Powder will also make
sweet, white bread from an inferior quality
of flour, a property possessed by no other
leavening agent. Thus, much flour thatlis
dark in color, or from other cause is con
sidered below the finer grades, and there
fore much cheaper, can be utilized and
turned into a perfectly sweet and whole
some bread. Nor can bitter bread ever re
sult from the use of too much, or more
than the required quantity of Royal Bak
ing Powder: as, whether used in small or
large quantities, its proportions are in such
exact equivalents that they always neu
tralize each other. Bread made in this way
does not require mixing over night, but
may tie prepared ready for the oven in a
few minutes; an advantage that will be
readily appreciated by every housekeeper.

THE ORIGINAL TELEPHONE.
Ao Iftverttion I’alcnM lq Hoyu 1 K. flute.,
IMIS—The i’atenl Now Kxpireil.
Bridgeport, June 20.—Royal E. House,
who invented the original printing tele
graph, which is figured out in all the old
school works on philosophy, is a resident
of this city, where his sons carry on the
manufacture of various inventions of their
own. In conversation with a reporter to
day, Mr House expressed the wish that
the public might in some way he benefited
by the expiration of a patent of his. This :
patent, numbered 77,882, and dated Mav
12, 1868, has expired. It was for an inven- !
tion or improvement in electro-phonetic
telegraph, now called telephone. It was |
patented for a receiving instrument to re- •
•ceive messages by sound, by Morse signals ;
of letters, but nevertheless by its construe- J
tion it is fitted to transmit to and fro raes- '
sages by articulate speech.
The invention has two aneoustic ele
ments, one of which is a sounding head or
diaphragm, the other a sound reflector or
car piece. These aneoustic elements are
respectively arranged and combined at
each station of the telegraph line with
and between the receiving magnet and the j
place fertile ear of the operator. With a
closed circuit the central part of the dia
phragm is held in equilibrium by retractile
and magnetic force, and acts as a trans-
mutor to transmute electrical variations lo
correspondent sound waves tli.it arc con
fined m lateral directions as they move
through to the place for the ear, where
low sounds are made more distinctly
audible.
A I.ll.hi Lass.
Several months ago \imie Sbeel.y, a
young Irish lass, waiting at the table of
tier master, Mr. Carroll, in Ireland, was
insulted by one of the guests who had been
drinking too freely. John Carroll, a son
of the family, knocked the insuttor down,
and followed up this bit of gallantry by
felling in love with the pretty Annie, tit-
said lie woidd marry the girl, and Carroll
pere turned him out of tlie house. He
came to America and dug ditches for a
living. This week Annie arrived at Castle
Garden, and was scarcely ashore hr fun
her ditch-digging, disinherited lover spied
her, and.lugging nerofl’to the Rev, Father
John J. Riordan, married her on the spot.

Language is a slippery tiling to deal with,
as some may find when selecting their
similes. Says a writer: “Speak of a man’s
marble brow and lie will glow with con
scious pride; but allude to his wooden head
and lie’s mad in a minute.” The young
lecturer’s “similes were gathered in a
head” when he expressed the whole body
of his argument on deceit in the following:
“Oh, my brethren, the snowiest shirt front
may conceal an aching bosom, and the
stiflest of all collars encircle a throat that
has many a bitter pill to swallow.”

Soothing Syrup should always be used

i to taste. It soothes the child, softens the j

remedy for diarrhoea, whether arising
