The Toast.

The following is one of the finest produc
tions of Sir Walter Scott, and we are in
clincd to believe that it cannot be rea'
without causing the blood to Jingle:
The feast is DER! Now trimming wine
In lordly cup is seen to shine
Before each eager guest,
And silence fills the crowded hall.
AS deep as when the herald's call
Thrills in the royal breast.
Then up arose the noble host
And smiling Cried GA toast. a toast.
To all our ladyes fair;
Here, before all, pledged the name
of Staunton's proud and beauteous dame
The Ladye Gundamere!''
Then to his feet each gallant sprung,
And joyous was the shout that rung
As Stanley gave the word:
And every cup was raised on high,
Nor ceased the loud and gladstone cry,
Till Stanley's voice was heard.
g Enough, enough" he smiling said,
And lowly bent his naughty head,
''That all may have their due,
Now each in turn must play his part,
And pledge the ladye of his heart,
Like gallant knight and truer'
Then one by one each guest sprung up
And drained in turn the trimming cup,
And named the loved ones name;
And each, as hand on high he raised,
His ladye's grace or beauty praised,
Her constancy and fame.
'Tis now st. Leons turn to rise;
On him are fixed those countless eyes
A gallant knight is he;
Envied by some, admired by all,
Far-famed in ladye's bowe~ and hall,
The flower Of chivalry.
st. Leon raised his kindling eye,
And lifts the sparkling cup on high:
8 drink to ONE he said,
"Whose image never may depart,
Deep craven on this grateful heart,
Till memory be dead.
" To one whose love for me shall last
When lighter passions long have passed,
So holy It's true;
10 one whose love hath longer dwclt,
More deeply fixed, more keenly felt,
Than any pledged by you
Each guest upstarted at the word,
And laid hand upon his sword,
With fnry- flashing eye;
And Stanley said: "We crave the name,
Proud knight, of this most peerless dame,
Whose love you count so high
st. Leon paused, as if he would
Not breathe her name in careless mood
Thus lightly to another.
Then bent his noble head as though
To rive tba ward tho rayacapoa J,,o
And gently said, "MY MOTHER p

"A certain town near Providence has an
exceedingly considerate man. The other
morning he awoke to find his house on fire.
Partially dressing himself, he ran across
the street, tinidly rung his neighbours
door-bell, and patiently waited for some
one to answer his summons. After little
while the "man Of the house, appeared,
and the timid man said: "I do not wish to
create an unnecessary alarm; but my house
is on fire.

STILL REFUSES. John Carney was
brought from the Jail on Saturday,
where he has been confined for the past
week for contempt Of court, and was
asked if he was ready to be sworn in
the case Of Hercules and others charged
with fighting at Carney's saloon, last
week. He most positively refused to
take the proposed oath, reiterating his
former statement that he had sworn not
10 swear for two months. Judge Good
sent him back to Jail to remain there
until next Saturday, to which time the
hearing Of the charge of fighting was
continued. We wonder if John likes
the board at the Jail, that he is so will
ing to stay there? Mr., Faris could
lose boarder, in such a case, by re-
ducing his rations to one square meal of
bread and water per diem. We have
heard that such fare was wonderful
tanner of rebellious spirits.

and Hagan's Magnolia Balm changed
that sallow complexion into the marble
beauty you now see. This is emphati
cally the language OF all who use these
articles. A fine head OF hair and a
refined complexion are the greatest at
fractions a woman can possess. The
Kathairon and Magnolia Balm are just
what will give them to you and moth

entirely harmless, and very pleasant.

the FULL. 4 RETURNS.

We give this morning the full returns
of the primary election held on Satur-
day by the Democracy to nominate a
candidate for Sheriff of Ohio county.
The election was one of the most or
derby ever held in Wheeling, and though
the friends Of the different candi.
dates worked hard for the success Of
their men, it was done in such a way as
to offend no one. The total number Of
votes polled foots up o'over 2l0O, or
within some four or FIVE hundred Of the
total Democratic vote Of thecounty.
There were seven competitors for the
nomination. Mr.. Shallcross, the sue
cessfnl candidate, received about one
third Of all the votes cast, J. F. Baer
standing second and and John Scar.
brough third.

FIRE.-The alarm Of fire given last
evening about halEpast nine o'clock
was caused by the partial burning OF
John Farley's grocery store, corner OF
Second and Main streets. When first
discovered the fire was burning away
right merrily behind the counter on
the shelves and among the boxes. 1t
was cxtinguished by The Fire Depart
ment before it had done much damage
to the building. Mr.. Farley estimates
his loss, from. fire and water, at about
800. As about all his stock is de-
stroyed, this may not be out Of the way.
He is insured in the Etna for $1,000.
1t is thought that the fire originated
from rats or mice pibbling at the
matches kept on one of the shelves.

= y H<<~4s
Row n BErpGEPoRr-There was q
6ghtIin Bridgeport on Friday night, in
which two men and a woman, dog
and piece Of meat we're wofully mixed
up. A man named Jacob earns was on
his way home with apiece Of meat in
his hand. In passing the. honse of
William Debula, a dog belonging TO the
latter sprang out and made a grab at
the meat. earns thought the dog was
after him, and Mrs. Debula appearing
on the scene at this time, he informed
her that he would shoot the dog if it
bit him. This brough, about high
words, and in the midst OF it Debula
came out and whaled away at earns,
who dropped his meat, knocked Debula
down, and getting on his breast, COM
menced pummeling him. Mrs. D., to
help her husband, set the dog on earns.
The dog went for both the PROSTATE
men, and divided his nips with an ad-
mirable impartiality. In order to save
himself, earns let his opponent get up.
No sooner had he done so than Debula
drew his revolver and swore he would
make mutton Of earns. The latter
escaped, however, with a whole hide,
and now gets out warrant against
Debula for drawing the weapon. We
couldn't find ont whether the dog got
the meat, or whether he contented HIM
self with choice bites from the persons
of the combatants And that's what
worries us. We heard yesterday that
both men use pillows to sit down on,
and both curse the dog.
On Saturday earns and Debula were
arrested and taken before a magistrate.
They were fined two dollars and costs
each for disorderly conduct earns has
taken an appeal from this decision.

Police CoURT.-There was nothing
before the Police Court on Saturday,
but charge against a citizen, of the
Fifteenth Amendment persuasion,
named VIM. Caldwell, Of having been
very disorderly on Friday morning.
He was engaged at the Mcclure House,
and when the porter IA white man and
one of the best and most peaceable men
in the city, called him to go into his
breakfast, Caldwell got raring, rip
ping, snorting, rantankerously angry,
expressed his ability to clean out the
porter, and his determination TO do so.
His expressions were most insulting,
and his actions outrageous. Judge
Good fined him 500 and COSTS.

PEANUT SCOTT IN TRoUBLE.-Peanut
Scott has got to be one Of the worst and
most offensive citizens born under the
operations of the Fifteenth Amendment
into the family OF American citizens.
We have heard of several OF his oper-
atoms lately, where he has made it his
special duty to insult white men, and
dare them to fight but have said moth
ing because no legal notice was taken
of them. On Saturday afternoon he
exceeded all his previous efforts in that
line. He went into the dry goods store
Of r. Larkin, No. 1874 Market street,
and ordered q lot Of goods. When the
articles were cut off and tied up, he
said he would take them and pay the
bill on Monday" Being informed that
he could not get credit in that store, he
became outrageous swore he could
whip the proprietor, and all the clerks
pulled off his coat to fight, and raised q
deuce of a ruction. He called young
Larkin by most insulting name, and
was knocked clear ont into the street.
Squire Gillespy coming along, had the
parties both placed under arrest. Lar
kin was fined 81 and costs for striking
the negro, and Scott was fined s. and
costs and required to find bail in the
sum of 500 for his good behavior for
one year. He was given until to-day
to find the required bail. Hardly had
he settled matters with the Justice until
Officer Junkins arrested him for viola
ting the city ordinances, and took him
10 the lookup. He will have q
hearing before Judge Cool this morn

.THE PRIZE CANE OF BASE BALL.

sTHE PRIZE CANE OF BASE Ball
The MATCH game OF base ball played
on Saturday afternoon between the
United and sosceola clubs attracted
very large crowd Of ladies and gentle
men, The playing was very spirited,
each club doing its best to win the
silver bali offered by j. Frank Reynolds
to the club making the largest score.
The prize was won by the United who
made thirty-one runs while the 0sceolas
made twenty-four. The Osceolas are
by odds the strongest batters while their
field was a long way behind that Of the
United.
We cannot close this notice without
calling the attention OF Mr.. Reynolds,
and of all others interested in having
ladies attend these exhibition games of
base ball, to those fellows who sit in
the main stand and by their swearing
aud rude observations, loud enough to
be heard by all in their vicinity, heed
lessly, thoughtlessly and needlessly in
suit the ladies present. Those young
chaps, too, who make it practice to
yell at the players, need a little reform
ing. A policeman or two, with instruc-
tons to put all off the grounds who
thus violate good manners and decency,
would have a wonderful effect in pro-
ducing quiet and in largely increasing
the attendance OF ladies.
The following is the score:
