PRIDE.-Fowls have plenty of vanity
and pride. They are very sensible to ad-
miraton from from man, and miss accus-
toned notice. A prize bird knows itself.
The queen of the poultry yard must eat
first, and stand by the king at feeding
time. She resists an invasion upon her
rights, and will have precedence in all
things. Indeed, precedent in the court
yard seem as valued as at earthly courts.
Age, priority of residence in the yard, not
less than size and strength, constitute a
right to precedence. No dowager ever
treated young chits Of girls more contemp-
tuously than the senior hen treats her jun
Tors. One has heard Of a Swiss cow which
died of vexation when her bell was taken
from her. So did hen of mine, lone mis-
tress of the poultry-yard, die Of smothered
pride, when new queen hen, partner to
a new king "a pair bought at a poultry
show came into my enclosure. The rival
queens eyed each other moment stead
tasty, then rushed to the combat. The
new conner was the stronger.
Do we learn from the above that females
will not brook rival? 1t is fact, how
ever, whether we learn it or don't learn it.

The Black Crook.

This grand spectacular drama was pro-
duced at Washington Hall last night
with wonderful effect. The house was
literally crowded, and every represen-
tation was greeted with the widest APP
plausc. Nothing of tn; kind has ever
been put on the stage outside of the city
of New York that could equal the dis
play of attraction that isrepresented in
this drama. The female characters en-
brace all the projections of the sylph in
their graceful movements, and the male
characters render their parts complete
The grand incarnation scene was be-
yond description, aud the p'lace OF
Dew Drops is without parallel. The
Demon Dance and the Grand Amazon
March must be seen to be appreciated,
as it is beyond our power to describe

Gambling.

Gambling.
On several occasions we have been
spoken to in regard to the number OF
places for gambling in the city, with
the request that we say something about
them. The most prominent of these
places of resort is the cockpit, where
young Ren of every cast coDgregate to
bet their money. Not only does their
existence set bad example for the
younger portion of our population, but
they possess q sorrowful influence over
the middle-aged and soon lead them,
step by step, down to the lowest depths
of degradation that humanity can de-
scend to.
BY the support Of these institutions
children are dressed in rags and wives
are made to feast from the off-fallens OF
neighbours tables. Just think of it
Dressed in rags such day as yesterday
with shoes barely aiding the toes of the
wearer, and scsnty meal for hungry
and knawiAg stomach. These are the
legitimate results Of gambling and the
greatest pity is that those who are moi
in any way connected with it are made
the greatest sufferers. 1t would be well
if our police would seek and see if they
can find, and perhaps if the door is moi
opennnto them they may be able te
knock it down. Try il.

The Pnrker.burg Murder Trial.


We learn from the Parkersbnrg Times
that the trial of Joseph Eisele alias
Joseph Schasfer, charged with the muir
der of Lilienthal and Tsutor, and with
attempting to kill John White, was had
before q special term of the Circuit
Court Of Wood County on Monday.
The Grand Jury in TIE morning found
true bills on all the charges. The Court
met again at two o'clock amid the great
est excitement, crowds of people
thronged the Court yard, and as the
prisoner was conducted to Court some
cried hang him! hang him!
Eisele made the following confession,
which was read by an interpreter:
wish this may be read to the people
at my next trial.
|, the undersigned, confess from my
own free will that am the murderer
of Allows Ulrich, Joseph Lilicnthal and
Rudolph Tsutor, and that intended
also to kill the fourth man, if Almighty
| God had not prevented it, for which l
thank him OH my knees day and night.
| want no witnesses and no defense, and
cam OF really give any reason for my
misdeeds, except that the evil spirit led
me into temptation, and l could not re-
sist it. / am willing to sacrifice my
blood and life for all my crimes, and
hope that Almighty God will forgive
ne, and after death receive me into his
kim dom. therefore beg the people
present their forgiveness. have
no enmity towards any one in
the world, and acknowledge that | have
deserved all that may bsfall me aud am
ready to bear it all with patience. les
pecially beg my German countrymen
for their forgiveness for the great dis.
grace have brought upon them, anu
hope every one will forgive me. also
beg the American people not to think
i'll of the Germans, who are not to be
held responsible because one Of their
countrymsu is, . wicked man. ~

Nothing was before this Court yester-

become cooled down by the frequeLt di-
buttons of the atmosphere, and the
trashy unfortunate with waist fash
toned so slenderly" has long since ceased
to be familiar with her presence. Time
was when a few drinks of "strychnine"
would set man topsy-turvy, and breed
row or a riot by the simple
"twist of the wrist" But things
have changed. The Court that
once presented numerous victims to
Justice daily, now presents a roll OF
empty benches; and the oHcers VINO
were accustomed to have as much bust
ness as they could attend to, now Wig
ilantly seek in vain among the hauuts
of vice and immortality to find disre-
spector of the law. But all this speaks

we are either law-abiding citizens or

men and women. If not so, liquor must
be adulterated or its patrons copper
lined, preparatory to resisting It's
strength as a safe protection from OK
perieneing its influences. But we fear
this ennui will not last much longer
and the Police Court will don its lively
appearance again and once more he in

The new Wigwam of Mingo Tribe OF
tie Improved Order of Red Men, at the
corner of Third and Market streets, was
dedicated last Monday evening. The
dedication services were very beautiful,
solemn and impressive.
The room has been fitted mp i'll neat
and tasty manner, and reflects great
credit on the committee who have had
its preparation in charge.
After the dedication services were
over, George b. Means, Esq, addressed
tho audience for short time, explain
ing the objects of the order-"freedom,
friendship aud charity" The address
of Mr.. Means was listened to with
great interest, especially by the "pale
faces"
Mr.. Catcher, of Wheeling, also made a
few appropriate remarks, in which he
congratulated the members of the Min
20 Tribe on the rapid increase of their
membership, he having been present
when the Tribe was FIRST organized.
The turnout of the members of the
order was large-quite number being
present from Wheeling and other
places. We also noticed number OF
invited guests at the dedication ceremo'
MES. Several of the "gentler SEX were
also in attendance to give interest to
the occasion.
After the exercises at the Wigwam
had been gone through with, the mem.
bcrs of the order, with some invited
guests, repaired to the STANDBY House
where a sumptuous repast was served
We might say much more concerning
the dedication of the Wigwam, were
we not "pale face but we must be
content with saying that so far as We
could Judge, every officer appeared tc
understand his business, and performed
his duties in an able and dignitied
manner.
The members of the order are greatly
