QUITE A ScENE.-We were told of interesting
scene witnessed at the Criminal Court yesterday
lady was in Court a wtness-she ran her eye over
the jury-it rested for moment upon juror; she
sprang forward, casped her arms around his neck,
kissed him passionaiey and cried. "Aly father, my
father nv father" II was with much difficulty that
the Juror released himself from her embrace and with
still more that he convinced her he was not her father
The lady has for years been separated from her pa
rent, and seeing this gentleman, who bears striking
resemblance him, she really believed him To be her
father and hence her conduct.=N. Louis Union.

GA mechanic IN Boston has hit upon plan Of
constructing umbrellas says the Boston Atlas, which
will almost prerent their being stolen! When it is
shut, the end of the handle can be uuscrewed taken
Off and put into the pocket; aud. in taking it off, il
locks the umbrella that cannot be opened So, if
thief should steal one of them, he would find that
he has got one with the end Of the handle gone. aud
NOR cover, that he could not it, for he would be
unable to open it. Neither could be sell it, for he
would hardly be able to find purchaser for an mper-
feet Thus it will be perceived. that this inven
ton is all but preventative to umbrella stealing, in-
credible as it may seem.

Give them Enough.

We give below the conclusion of q late article in
the Washington Union, the subject of Mexicans
making peace. We have been informed by gentle
man lately from Washington that the President de.
sired pursue the with the greatest vigor
time SINCE and that he induced to follow the late
plan of the campaign by the advice of Gems. Scott
and Taylor. We are among those who believe the
latter to have been the best course He also informs
us, that the late offers the last the President will
and that the will be prosecuted with the utmost
vgor, Should peace not be concluded under the late
arrangement,) and that army will forage on the
enemy. This is the true plan nor; and we are glad
to see it foreshadowed in the Union.
The battle has now been fought; the Mcxicans
have been signally defeated; aud a negotiation has
succeeded. Ii Is even now doubtful whether the
Mexlcans have to their senses, and will accept
OF fair and a moderate peace.
This week will almost certainly solve the problem !;
but If they should again reject the olive branch then
one honorable course lies before US. We must not
offer peace again, but concentrate all our efforts for
vigorous prosecution of the war; The Executive will
do It's duty with energy; and we cannot doubt that
Congress viii second Its efforts with all its power.
We must change the spirit in which the is waged.
Still practising much humanity we can, we must
levy contributions upon the enemy and make the
haciendas and the merchants contribute tie funds,
provisions, &c. The military force which we shall
draw around the commanding general will enable him
not only to arrest the guerias, but to extend his ope-
ratons with effect and operate upon the obsti-
nate towns and States. If we can have peace only
by stern war, must wage that in order TO con-
quer peace.

WoMAN's PowER-It is related Of a certain New

and whose matrimonial relations supposed not to

this passage: ''and another said have bought five
yoke of oxen, and 60 to prove them, pray thee to
have me excused: and another said | have married

OF A GEM.-Among the toasts given at a ceebra-
tion of the 4th of July. we find the following
"Americd-Like the Roman virgin. she has pressed
her full breasts TO her furnishing parents lips"
very pretty idea, no doubt but we presume the
author had allusion to the 'Grecian daughter, the
young Greek mdtron, who preserved her fathers life
by bestowing on him the natural food of her infant.
1t seems little strange that Roman rirgin should
have performed that duty.

ADvERTfsTNG.-The New Orleans Delta has quite
a pithy paragraph on this subject. " advertising"
says the editor is business what the oil IS the
night lamp. Withhold the necessary supply Of oil,
and the lamp goes out; advertise not Literally, and
who you are what is your business, known only
to limited cIrcle-your expenses otherwise continue,
your business falls off. you break, and your name,
which was advertisement in the
newspapers, now figures in the list Of bonkruPs.
This is irue-all true. 1t is the teaching of the
times, and he who will learn it x
pcc at this period of general activity and rivalry IN
business, to keep up with his advertising neghbOrs
in the race for patronage and prosperity

HoT PoTATOEs.-What is getting into the wings !
The Journal nowadays says hardly word in favor
of Gen. Taylors nomination Those who raised his
flag, which the Journal refused to do while it was
endeavoring to ride its party into power on his shou-
ders, are now dropping him like hot potatoes. Some
cast lugubrous look over their left shoulder, and
wonder why they should be obliged to do so but those
on whose sleeves they have pinned their faith, have
said it, and away he must &C. The Madison Banner
slips him overheard after the following fashion, and

As for the wings, it is their destiny, we verify be-
lieve, to make clean sweep in 1913, and they will
support man, for any office, biindIolded. They
have not yet forgotten John Tyler and intend TO be

INDIANA PUBLIC DEBT.- We give the following

from the Lafayette Free Press, whose editor holds
office under the company, and hope 1t may not prone
otherwise than correct We are free to say, how
ever, that different positions make people things

correspondent writes that the affairs of the
Indiana Agency in a prosperous conditon-the
outstanding bonds still coming in and very consde-
rable sum expected from Europe (perhaps million)
by the steamer of the 18th last of October. The
amount of principal and interest surrendered
cannot vary much from eleven millions, and it will
reach twelve by the meeting of the Legislature.
This is doing UNNECESSARILY better than any friend Of
the law (even the most sanguine) expected. 1t is
longer doubtful about the exchange of the entire debt
Of Indiana and the complete of the arrange
ment Every citizen Of Indiana will rejoice at the
prospect before US and even the opponents of the
measure, whose honest fears made them doubt, will
be glad that their efforts did not succeed.

The Post Office Order.

The Postmaster General, in a letter to the New Ora
leans Delta audes to the rule which allowed Post
masters to receipt for subscription for newspapers, and
sa,s:-"The rule was originally adopted under the
hope that it might lead the introduction of the
neV order system, now in operation IN England tor
the general transmission of small through the
mails, and Maj Hobble, WHO is now in Europe, has
been instructed examine that system carefully, with
a view to its introduction in the United States. The
operation of the rule has been such 10 create ser
Gus doubts in my mind whether it be made useful
In the United States. 1t will be, however, carefully
examined upon the report of Maj. Hobbie, and need
sea rcey assure you that it will afford great pleas
ure to adopt that any other system which will tend
to the sseminaton Of intelligence among the peo-
pie.
The Washington Union understands that the Post
master General has Just received letter from Major
Hubble. He at Frankfort-on. the Maine, and will
proceed TO Bremen and will return to London by way
of Paris, and leave for home early in October. He
has not yet perfected his mail arrangements with En-
gland. France and Germany; but has every reasona-
bic prospect Of being able to make satisfactory and
advantageous arrangement with these countries.
MAGNIFICENT bEQUEsTS.-We notice IN the papers
lately, accounts Of liberal requests being made by
rich ind vduas, alive and some dead-the latter

Germany, for many years citizen of South Carolina,
and then Of Philadelphia, died in 1922 leaving leg
ares to the amount of 1913 0O0 to take effect upon
the death Of his widow, which has just occurred.
