A THIFF.-Some envious mortal at St.
Louis recently stole a bed designed for
the bridal couch of happy couple who
were married on the day the theft was
committed.
We would rather have curse of almost
any kind on our souls than to bear the
malediction of pair of enraptured
younglings who were anticipating the
heaven of the nuptial couch. If the
sweetes. substances produce the strongest
vinegar, we are unable to imagine the
degree of acidity which pretty bride
could turn out on the discovery Of this
worse than savage outrage; comparison
in iniquity fail US when we think of the
william who would deliberately take from
them the bottom of their hopes.
Mrs. Darlington says that just before
the last war with England, "circumstan,
ces were seen around the nightly, shooting
stars preambulated the earth, the desk of
the san was covered with black spots of
ink, and comments swept the horizon
with their operatic tails. Everybody said
it prodigated war, and sure enough it did
come. Its costiveness was felt through
out the land but the prayers Of General
Jackson expiated the American citizens,
and foreign dominions soon became bye
,word."

Good News for the Ladies.

We clip the following from the Detroit
Mechanic and Inventor:
The Coop TIME CoME.-The patent so
long held by Wheeler & Wilson for the
four motion feed sewing machine, has at
last expired, and an extension has been
refused. The day has gone by when a
machine costing but from SIS to $50 can
be sold at from $50 to 5l25. We see that
the American Shuttle Sewing Machine
Company of Detroit are first in the field
with machine embodying all the best
features of the most costly article, and
while their machines are, in every parties
ular, as perfect in their adaptation to all
classes Of work as the Wheeler & Wilson,
Grover & Baker, and Singer, they are now
disposing of them at prices ranging from
S25 to $40. This is certainly an immense
reduction, and its effects are already to be
seen by the large orders received, and the
large shipments being made daily by the
American Shuttle Sewing Machine Com
pany, lis Bates street, Detroit.

4 Railroad Question.

A number Of prominent citizens Of
California, who are adverse to the
scheme which is being pushed in that
State to induce cities and counties to
aid in the construction Of railroads, by
issuing bonds for that purpose, have
lately addressed letter to Gov. Haight
asking his opinion as to the constitu-
tionality of such action. His reply is
published in the California papers, and
is full and conclusive legal argument,
reaching an adverse conclusion. He
holds that it is outside the legitimate
scope of the powers Of cities or counties
to issue corporate bonds in aid of rail-
roads. Whether regarded as a SUBJ
scription or as donation, the principle
is practically the same. The question
is one of great Importance in other
States than California, and the reason
ing has the same application in all. In
New York the amount involved is al
ready very large, and is yearly growing
more formidable. Unless some check
is interposed, the results cannot fail to
be disastrous, and we see no more effec-
ual way of doing it than to bring the
question to the test of cSnstitutionality.

That intensely radical journal, the
St. Louis Democrat, presents the fol-
lowinging timely and truthful remarks,
which we commend to the careful at
tention of those over-credulous radicals
who are in the habit of believing all
the absurd accounts of outrageS in the
South which they read in the radical
journals: "It is amazing that the daily
and hourly murders in Georgia have
suddenly ceased, now that they can no
longer serve to keep Bullock& Company
in countenance Since the Senate
acted on the Georgia bill, we have not
heard of single murder, single out
rage. It is high time for the country
to understand that there is something
besides loyalty at the bottom Of the
Georgia business. But Butler and the
gang of political banditti he heads are
determined to keep, up agitation in
> Georgia. There are few more dollars
to be stolen from the people, and the
vultures will not quit their prey.

Long after the materials have ner-

MR KERTH in the Council, and
the Courisr 10 E4gl,sh, and the Dem
okrGt in German, are viItuously iu-
dignant at a little gquib which ap-
peared 10 the JOURNAL Of last FRI
day relative to Mr.. Van Ripsr's trip
to New York. which had been pub
licly heralded by the Courier. 1t
will be remarked that the late pro
tenn. Mayor. (who has been succeeded
By Mr.. Carpenter.) gathered together
a quorum Of the Council, on Thurs =
day night, and put through hurriedly
loan from the Evansville National
Bank for $46.575, to pay the princi
pal and interest of certain Railroad
and Wharf Bonds, the greater portion
of which is to be paid in New York
City. When the Courier, concur
rently with this action, announced
that the acting Mayor. Mr.. Van Riper,
was going to New York, the presump
ton was that he was going there to
disburse this loan to pay the principal
and interest on the bonds referred to
In the order of the Council for the
loan. So the JOURNAL in its City
News, Of Friday. in referring to the
Council Proceedings in another col
umn, had the following item:
"FLUsH.-The al Interim Mayor, who
IN KavU Work fO-nQW will finds
Vile National Bank OF 1876"
Mr.. Kerth, at the Council meeting
on Monday night, in a maudlin har-
rangue, for which he was called to
order by the presiding officer, Mr..
Carpenter, said that the item was q
slander on Couneilmen, that they
had went to New York with the city's
money to 90 on a spree a0itb." A man
would have to be quite betuddled to
re ad the iten thusly; but Mr.. Kerth,
who is Van R;per's associate on the
Finance Committee. and his boon
companion, may know more ABOUT
how he intends to spend his time!
The editor of the Courier, hale
fellow we'll met. being bosom friend,
thoroughly understands Mr.. Van Ri-
per's habits, and he translates the
item to read, Borrowing in
bank on the faith of the city. and
scas spendiag the money an riotons liy-
ing"
And to cap the climax the ken.
scented man of the Densokrat says:
The assertion of the JOURNAL is
that Van Ripper has gone to New
York to sell certain city bonds, and
90 on a spree teth ths proeesdsi! "
We'll, really In the innocence of
our heart we thought His Honor. the
od interim Mayor, was going to New
York, at the expense of the city, to pay
off its indebtedness on Rail-
road and Wharf Bo0ds. But we are
not in his confidence. We don't
spend our nights with him. Mr..
Kerth, and the English speaking, and
Teutonic editors know him we'll, and
are thoroughly conVersant with his
habits. His trip to New York may,
as Mr., Kerth interprets the announce
ment in the JOURNAL of his depart
ure, mean going on a spree" or, as
the editor understands it, spending
tie money in riotous living" We
must modestly defer to their better
knowledge.
