A respectable man in Philadel-
phia was arrested for using insult
ing language to a neighbor. 1t
was shown that the wife was a ha-
bitual drunkald, and was encour-
aged to be such by the neighbor,
who loaned her money on the ar
ticleS she took firm her husbands
house and shop. The immediate
provocation the husband had for
using insulting language was this.
The neighbor lent the drunken
woman five cents on frying pan,
and when the husband went to
redeem the dyspepia breeding ar
ticle, an additional FIVE cents was
demanded for interest. This was
the straw that broke the camels
back.

What is q Kiss Worth ?

In Baltimore, John Lesson,
for kiesing Mrs. j Josephine Sic
bert, is sued by her enraged
husband and RECEIVERS $4,000
damages. This verdict the
judge set aside as excessive and
unreasonable and now, upon a
new trial, the amount is reduced
to 1915. Just as Courts, Jurors
and other people differ about
values and damages, so they
differ about the value of a kiss !;
but kissing really is dear when
it costs $275 for just one kiss.
and they ought to be very sweet
at that price. This case, how
ever, is rather a funny one to
bring into Court, and quite as
novel as lawsuit which has
caused a good deal of gossip
and is soon to be tried at Koko-
mo, Indiana. An humble indi-
vidual of that place sold his bet
ter half some months ago to a
neighbor, and, having since
grown tired of living alone, he
now wishes to break the bar
gain. To this the purchaser has
no objection, in fact, he desires
to give her up; but the woman
herself objects on the ground
that it is not Christian-like to
put her on the market more than
once. This is the second case
Of the same kind now pending
before the Indiana courts.

The Democratic Victory.

"One hundred and eighty regu-
lar Democrats are. elected to the
next Congress" is the terse an.
nouncement from Washington,
this week. This is a gain Of
forty.one members over tue Dem
ocratic strength in the present
House of Representatives. This
is within fourteen of a majority
of the House. When we consid
er that Georgia, in the election on
The goth of December, next, will
increase the Democratic strength
by seven members and moreover,
that in Pennsylvania, Illinois and
Missouri, a number of Congress
men have been elected, as INDIE
pendents, and Liberals, in opposi-
ton to the Radical candidates, we
are safe in assuming that the De-
mocracy will have nearly as many
votes in next Congress, as the
Radicals.

E& 1t is estimated there are
fifty thousand white people in
Tennessee who can neither write
their names nor read the Bible.
In view of such an appalling fact,
the Knoxville Wing thinks the
Legislature should move inmedi-
ately in providing remedy. In
comparison with this, all other
State questions stand dwarfed in
the estimation of the philanthro-
pist. No Government now can
stand that does not provide for
the education of the people.

ises speedily to control the States
Of the Union. The negroes were
told that if the Democrats succeed
ed In Tennessee they would be re-
turned to slavery. The Stokes

did not believe any such thing
when they said it. But the ne
groes were deceived and misled
by them, by this and similar lies,
and voted solid against. us. Be
fore the late electio: in New York
Gerrit Smith (Radical) issued a
circular to bis "colored brethren"
in which he said:

the Republican party was for the
freedom of your race and the Dem
ocratic party against it. But | do
ask you not to listen to the insult.

DISTINGUISHED and even reenslaved,

None but the veriest demagogue
would be guilty Of charging the
Democratic party with a desire TO
enslave the negroes again; and
Gerrit Smith, Radical as he is. de
nounces such stuff as insulting.
But the negroes professed to be.
lieve these allegations and voted
solid against Democratic candi-
dates ell over the country. The
Democrats have triumphed in u
number of Southern States, and
the negroes will see-tbey cannot
help seeing facts if they will not

TAXING A SWEAR.

It is a source of sweet consolation to US
that the Democrats have published in the
newspapers Of their faith all the little
items that are necessary to be observed in
obtaining certificates of registration. No
man need be caught trifiing if he can
read, for the prescription offered by the
committee is very specific as to just what
he will have to swear to. He will have to
take three doses in regular order, and
these will certainly make him compe-
tent voter. He must know where he was
born. He must know when he was born.
He must know where he was naturalized.
He must know when he was naturalized.
And he must know somebody that knows
this and is known as citizen of his ward.
And these little scraps Of information
must be sworn to and these little affi-
davits must be deposited with the
registrar. And any little mistake about
g. fact material to the issue will be
perjury, and perjury is penal offense.
So it will be seen that in going to the
polls a man may make mistake and lock
himself up in the Penitentiary. We are
thus particular i'll spreading this bill of
fare before the people, not only because
the Democrats desire it, but because
there will be sundry stupid people placed
about the registration, who will just have
sense enough to arrest man who is fool
enough to swear to any Of the material
issues set forth above without being GER
tain about their existence. 1t is pity
that men Will remember more about their
neighbors than is convenient; but as it is
failing Of human nature we must put up
with it. So Democrats will take heed
how they remember. d..
