Pleading Somnambulism as a Defense
in a Murder Case.
The Detroit News of evening before
last says:
Ermine Barrett, the eldest child of
Alonzo Barrett, who was murdered
some months ago by Clarence Davis,
alias Deßiel, is very ill at the Home
ot the Friendless, and as she is the
principal witness against the murder
er, the prosecuting attorney has been
notified so that her statement could
be taken for evidence. This will not
be done, however, as the law provides
that “on the trial of every indictment
the party accused shall have the right
to meet the witnesses against him
face to face.” The only exception to
this is that the dying statement of a
person injured may be taken. The
defendant is permitted to offer depo
sitions in evidence. In the case of
Davis it is admitted that he killed
Barrett, but the defense will set up
that the deed was done while the ac
cused was in a fit of somnambulism.
Progress in China.
The wonderful progress made in
China has been emphasized of late
by the Rev. Griffith John, a long
time missionary of the London Mis
sionary Society, who has been visiting
this country. Forty years ago it was
a crime for a foreigner to learn the
Chinese language, or for a Chinaman
to teach it to him; and though the
Nanking treaty was made in 1842,
when Mr. John went to China, twen
ty-five years ago, there were only five
places in the vast empire in which a
a foreigner might dwell. The great
interior was still closed, as none
might go further than could be
reached in twelve hours from a treaty
port. The whole empire is now open.
Thirteen out of the eighteen provin
ces have been actually occupied by
missionaries and their families; the
gospel has been preached in nearly
all the principal cities and towns, and
the Bible and many forms of Chris
tain literature are circulated every
where.
Not. Much on Fish.
It is stated that a smaller amount
of fish is consumed in the United
States in proportion to the number of
the inhabitants than in any civilized
country in the world. If the state
ment is correct, a ready explanation
may be found in the circumstance
that all kinds of meat and poultry
have been cheap and abundant till
the past few years. In most
European countries the consumption
of fish on the part of the poorer
classes is a matter of necessity. Meat
and poultry are beyond their means.
A purely vegetable diet may meet the
wants of persons of sedentary habits,
but it is not sufficiently substantial
for those engaged in hard work. Fish
furnishes the best substitute for meat.
In the matter of variety it surpasses
it.
Mrs. Garfield and Michigan.
A letter was recently sent to Mrs.
Garfield by the Socialists’ Michigan
Relief Committee of Chicago, in which
they spoke of the incredible sufferings
of the inhabitants of the peninsula of
Saginaw, in Michigan, devastated by
the recent terrible fires. The follow
ing letter has been received in reply :
Mentor, Ohio, October 3, 1881. —
Dear Sir : Your letter of Septem
ber 29 is received, and I most earnest
ly commend the effort now being
made throughout the country for the
Michigan sufferers. My own sub
scription I will place with some Ohio
fund. I thank you for your expres
sions of sympathy and kindness.
“Very truly yours,
“Lucretia B. Garfield.”
A Bachelor Mormon.
L. Ferry Young, Mormon mission
ary, whose death on board the steam
er Knickerbocker, while on the way
from Havana to New’ York, has been
announced, was a son of the late
Brigham Young, and during the last
two years had been laboring in Cuba
and Mexico for converts to the Mor
mon faith. He was about 45 years
of age, and, although an advocate of
polygamy, had never been married,
and was known as the Mormon
batchelor.

Gilhooly as an Equestrian.
Gilhooly hired a pony the other
day to take a little exercise on. He
got all the exercise he wanted, and as
Ke limped to the edge of the sidewalk
to rest himself after taking so much
exercise, a kind friend asked of him:
“What did you come down so quick
for?” ‘ What did I come down so
quick for? Did you see anything up
in the air for me to hold on to?”

JUDGE BUCHANAN, Lawyer, Toledo,O., says.
“One of Prof. Guilmette’s French Kidney Pads
cured me of Lumbago in three weeks’ time. My

agony, and paid out large sums of money.”

es. I was entirely and permanently cured after
wearing Prof. Guilmette’s French Kidney Pad four
“SQUIRE N. C. SCOTT, Sylvania, 0., writes:
“I have been a great sufferer for 15 years with
Bright’s Disease of the Kidneys. For weeks at a
