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?” The Celebrated Lucy Hinton Tobacco. Wm. E. Alexander & Son, Sole Agents. Use Hecker's Self-Raising Flour. For sale by all Grocers.
