Speaking of lawyers’ courtroom quarrels, and tbe friendliness which they afterward display outside tho courtroom, I am always reminded of the experience of S. F. Nuckolls, a groceryman here in the oarly days and the first delegate to congress from this territory. There existed a very bitter feud between Nnokolls ind another man, and the matter got into court: One of the men retained A. J. Poppleton and the other J. M. Woolworth, both of Omaha. Each client instructed his lawyer to rake the other party to tho suit over tho coals in the liveliest possible manner. Nuckolls, in telling the story, said: “When my lawyer got up I settled comfortably hack iu ray seat ready to enjoy myself thoroughly. As my lawyer warmed to his work he gave my opponent such a tongue lashing that he seemed to flay him alive. When the lawyer sat down I thought it wns proved to the satisfaction of everybody that the other fellow was the meanest skunk that eve# infest ed the earth. When the opposing lawyer got up I wondered what he could have to say. I didn't have long to wait Ho sailed into me and belted me all over the earth. Before he got half way through he pictured me as the meanest scoundrel this side of Jericho, and 1 sneaked out of the courtroom until the storm wns over. '•After he was through speaking 1 carnu in again and sat down beside my lawyer. I took it for granted that the lawyers had ns much per sonul feeling in the matter as their cllonts had. 1 wns therefore vrv much surprised to see Poppleton hand a note across the table to Wool- worth, who opened and read it and then smiled buck. This note he twisted up and threw under the table. I had the greatest curiosity in the world to find out what wns in it and after court adjourned remained behind. Thu note contained these words: ’What Will we charge these two fools!' ‘I was mad. I took the note and hunted up my friend, the enemy, and showed it to him. Then he was mod, and wo both went to the court house, hod the suit withdrawn, set tled the costs, renewed our broken friendship and teat the two 'Omaha lawyers out of big fees.”—Cheyenne Leader. Steadying Ships at 8m. Mr. Thornycroft, the famous build er of torpedo boats, has deviBed on apparatus for steadying ships at sea and has completed a series of experi ments which are said to prove that rolling may te diminished very greatly without extravagant cost and with comparatively small sacrifice of cargo space. Some of the fastest liners on the Atlantic ocean have been known to roll through an angle of 40 dogs, each way—a performance of woeful significance to peiv.ous af flicted by seasickness. Mr. Thorny- croft’s device, which it would be dif ficult to describe clearly and briefly in detail, consists of a shifting,weight moved by hydraulic power and con trolled by the oscillation of short and long ported pendulums. This gear wns fitted to a steam yacht of 280 tons displacement, and a roll of 18 degs. was at once reduced to ono of ll degs. The weight em ployed was eight tons, or 81 por cent of the yacht’s displacement, but as tho vessel happened to he one of peculiar model, it is thought that a for smaller weight, in proportion, would ho necesur.ry in tho ease of an ocean racer.—New York Telegram. TrenMire In Rubblih. From time to time hidden treas ures of a valuable nature have teen unearthed in the freights of street refuse and rubbish which are regu larly taken to Sittingboume from Loudon, and a portion of which is usod in tho manufacture of bricks. A large heap of this rubbish, many tons in weight, had teen for several months on one of the wharves at tached to a brick field, when some boys accidentally crane across two or tiiroo coins, which after having the dirt removed turned out to te sov ereigns. A more extended search thou took place, in which numbers of men, women and children eagerly joinod. Tho total sum recovered amounted to about £130, which was equally shared among the searchers. —London Tit-Bits. The Boomerang Is a "Fake.** The boomerang is largely a "fake.” The stories of tin-owing it around a comer or to a distance of COO feet and making it return to the starting point are travelers’ tales. The fact is that the Australians, using dubs as missiles in hunting, become expert in throwing them, and that n man who uses ono or two clubs continu ally knows how to throw them. It is said thnt only n savage can get fire by rubbing two pieces of wood to gether. So perhaps only a savage can throw a boomerang, but we tliink that most of the "feats” could bo duplicated by a country boy with us much practice as the Australian savages.—New York Sun.

There is a pipe on exhibition in the store of a popular Irish eigar manu facturer in the Bowery that Is well worthy of study. It tells a sadden ing history of blood and carnage. Its details point mutely back te the fearful conflict that almost rent the country in two iu the dark days of the rebellion, and its owner prizes it so highly now that no money will in duce him to part with it. The pipe was made iu Libby prison by one of the Union soldiers. The head was carved out of a broken gun- stock. Inlaid on the extorter of the head are emblems of many of the regiments that did battle for the Federal government and the insignias of secret societies and other orna mental work. The only implement used in making the pipe and its era bellishments was a penkuife rather the worse for wear. On ono side of the curious pipe is inlaid a triangle, with compass and square, all made out of tho shoulder bone of a dead Confederate officer. A circular wreath Inclosing scroll, evidently Intended for some inscription, is inlaid in tho hrosH oh tained from an old army button. A heart piorced by an arrow is made bom a piece of an exploded slioll. A scroll inclosed by olive branches is obtained from the buckle of a belt and a crescent is made from a piece of an old bayonet. On the opposite side the legend "1885." inclosed in a scroll, Is made of other pieces of bone. A circle, tnside of which Is a star, is obtained from a fragment of copper used in some part of the equipment. Two crossed guns on the front of the bowl are made of fieces of Confederate gun metal anil ;wo American flags are inlaid in vari ous materials. The owner of this pipe tells a curi ous story of* how it came into liis possession. An old man used to call at his store every day and beg enough of the cigar clippings from tho fac tor}’ to give hhn a good chance to smoke. After a thno his visits grow less frequent, and one night a clork in one of the cheap lodging houses in the neighborhood called in a hurry and said the old fellow was dying and,anxiously requested him to come to hhn. The cigar dealer wont, and the old fellow gave him the pipe. He told him it had been made by the Union prisoner, but added: “I never knew his name. I was one of tho Confederate guards stationed on duty at Libby prison, and 1 gave the chap who carved out this pipe ntuny n good feed on the quiot." Tho old Confederate died with these words on his lips, and the cigar manufac turer had hi a (Intently buried.— New York Advertiser. A IV HECK. .« B. Ac IV.

Takea aa the Wag-A HI* Wok Klla—RareoUlaa »hc Ccanral al Dow Monday night about 12:50 there occurred a wreck near where the union passenger depot is being erect ed, that might have resulted seriously had It not teen that the train wns go ing nt n very stew rate of speed. Engine No. 26, of the B. & IV. rend, wns stsndlngon n side track tlmtcon- neoted with the “Y" sround which the trains switch after coming in. The Central passenger train arrived nt 12:40, and nfter discharging its pas sengers, started to back around the “V.” • Just nt the point where the track conies pretty near the old B. & W. de pot, the afore-mentioned switch traok lay, and there was where the wreck occurred. Some one had placed the switch so that the train branched off on the aide truck, nnd the first thing Engineer Tom Cox, who was on the engine, knew, was a crash nnd jolt at the other end of the train. Oil examination It wns found that the rear couch, No. 287, had crashed into the front of engine No. 28, break ing them both up pretty badly. The pilot of the engine and steps and coupling gear uf the coach were smashed to splinters, but they can be easily, repaired. Flagman W, J, Hall wns standing on the platform uf the coach, and though badly shaken up nnd bruised, escaped serious injury. It Is not known who set the switch, but It Is thought to have been done through carelessness. Dr. W. A. Strother was cnlled to see Mr. Hall, the Injured flagman, nnd found him painfully though not seri mi8ly hurt.

Miss Melissa Williams, of 8pnrks, Gn., arrived in the city Monday and is stepping with Mrs. L. J. Towns. Miss Williams is a confirmed invalid, having been for years a sufferer from some clirotiio disease from which she lias in vain sought relief. Blie came to Albany early In the spring to test the medical qualities of Hie artesian water, and, after a few weeks’ stny, found herself considerably improved. She was very earnest In her praises of the beneficial results of the water, and at that time made the Hkiiald the medium of her recoinmendatioua of It, Now she has returned to mnke longer stiiy and to further try the ef fects of the use of the water. The rep utatlon of Albany’s artesian water and her healthy location have gone abroad, One of the leading physioians of the city—a physician who Is well ac quainted with the whole State of Geor gia-remarked only the other day on the street that with proper sewerage Albany would be one of the healthiest cities in all Georgia. There is no doubt of it. The proper sewerage is forthcoming, nnd with proper acconimodutiona for a large number of visitors, there Is no renson why Albany should not become one of the lending resorts of the Soiitli—re sort fd^both summer midwinter vis itors. Miss Williams is not tbe first nor the only Invalid who has fouud material benefit from the use of Albany’s nrte- sinu water, nor is the physician spoken of the only one who has spoken with emphasis of tho healthfulness of this locality. They are but additions to a lengthy list nnd the IIkr.u.d is pleased to note them ns such. There is a small fortune awaiting the enterprising man who builds a large hotel or sanitarium in Albany to accommodate those who seek to use the artesian water for medicinal pur poses. IIox. Ben E.

To the Editor of tho Herald. ■ The writer spent a good portion of yesterday In our sister olty, Dawson, and I think It would not be amiss to make a few comments on what I saw and heard. L I went by way of the Columbus Southern, and found crops along that line in good condition, all things con sidered. The melon crop is about all shipped, with good returns. The good people of Dnwson are proud ol their little olty, and well they may be, for there is nothing for any one to do but to fall In love with the town on the first visit. Dawson ean boast of genuine pros perity, and all her citizens pull to gether for her good. Her ohuroh buildings would do credit te a olty several times her population and fte- teusions, and the county is now ereot- ingacourt hpuse of brick and stone, to be four stories high, at a coat of several thousand dollars. The Columbus Southern road has opened up a territory that is of vast moment to both Albany and Dawson, and no doubt but DuWBon will equally share the ample patronage along the line, if the business men of our olty don’t watch their “p’s and q’s.” I was fortunate In forming the aoqh qualntance of Mr. J. B. Williams, of J. B. Williams & Co., at Armena, a thriving little village ten miles north of Albany. At that place is the mam moth lime kiln of Williams & Co, the capacity of which is 100 barrels per day of the best litne made in the Soutb, according to the analysis of State Chemist Payne. The kiln is kept go ing at its full oapaoity te fill orders. I heard the business men of Dawson speaking of a boycott that is now on the Central railroad at that point. It seems that Dawson has been contend ing for Albany and Amerlcus rates, and that the Columbus Southeru prom ised them If the Central would. Well, the Central won’t—hence the raoket. Several of the business men of Daw son will not receive a pound of freight over the Central, and one merchant compelled that road to take back a car load of flour and let It ootne another route. The writer was treated very kindly by those with wliqm he had business In Dawson, and that flourishing town and her enterprising business men have the best wishes of Fitzdoodlk.
