POLITICAL MOONSHINE.

The questions which have bothered
for so long the political economists
and law givers OF the world, and es-
pecially of the United States, have
at length been solved in a manner
which ought to be satisfactory, at
least to Mrs. President Woodruff
and her adherents. The editor of
The National Transition Moonly
Voice, which is published at Salem
adjoining the United States, in New
Jersey, solves all difficulties in a
thoroughly scientific manner. He
has discovered that the right side of
the brain of man is masculine, the
left side feminine, and the middle
double, being both masculine and
feminine; and thus, substantially,
in brief. the New National Guiding
Mind Of the coming manfOrm struc-
ture will be representative of the
various practical Glasses in the
body of the Nation. of both sexes
and all conditions - the males of
each Glass selecting and electing
the best practical operators among
them to represent them in their
CIaSS-Ieglslature or organ in the Ma
tional Head or Capital, and the fe-
males of each Glass likewise sending
up their best representatives to their
corresponding Class-organ. When
the several Class-organs may have
convened in some central locality
suitable for a National Capital, each
male organ will send a representa-
tive to masculine Causality (corre-
spending to the present United
States House of Representatives. 9,
and each female organ will likewise
send representative to female Caus-
ality. Each of the Causalities will
then select and elect one half of its
members to represent it in Com
parison corresponding to present
United States Senatel, which will
constitute the executive body of the
Nation-electing its own presiding
officer. who Will be the National
Chief Executive, and Will probably
be a woman, as the New Nation will
be masculine. The old Nation is
feminine, hence its masculine rule"

1t is a curious fact among our hat
and cap manufacturers that different
localities use different sizes of hats
and caps as standard sizes. Boston
and the Eastern States use the
smallest sizes, New York and the
Middle States use the medium to
largest sizes, and Chicago and the
Western States require the largest
sizes. Goods manufactured for one
market cannot be sold for the other,
onlyin exceptional cases. The South
use 4 shape peculiar to themselves

The great rush about the new buildings being
erected on Gay street. between Uuion and

a source of pride TO our citizens, but not so

all goods are delivered. Give them a trial Jas
all they ask to convince parties of the truth of
their claims is chance to show their goods and

HoM.s This for a Rrar

The Democratic luminary of this city is some
on the buncombe In speaking Of the bridge
election, it gets on stills in this style:
For our part, lcc are proud of the course IRE
have pursued and the advice IRE have given, in
regard to this great improvement to our city and
county. From the inception of the enterprise
the Pres. ond Herald has on all proper occa-
sions and Iatterty alone given to it, not only Its
countenance, but hearty support, f-.sae
The italics are our own. ~ F ~
From the above it might be supposed that
'''re' had great influence in this county. Well,
let us look to the vote and see how its HEARTY
and solitary support Influenced the vote. AT
the February election there were sic hundred
and ffty .rOtcs GgGutSt the bridge. On last
Thursday there were EIGHT, HUNDRED AND
EIGHTY-sIx votes against it, with one district
to hear from. The support of another such II
powerful journal would have defeated the
bridge on a majority rote. We see nothing in
these figures to be proud Of

Extraordinary Case.

Market Square was thrown into a state Of ex-
element yesterday morning by somewhat ex-
traOrdinary case of assault, the particulars of
which are as follows:
Mr.. r. JONES' butcher of Market Square,
instructed small boy, named Sharp, to go to
his 'old stable and take his horse to the black
smith to be shod. The boy under some mis-
take as to the identity of the stable, as it seems,
went early to the private stable of Messrs. Swan
& Baker, and took their horse instead, and had
him shod which occupied some time. In the
meantime, Messrs. Swan Baker, needing
their horse to put to their delivery wagon,
they keep grocery store went tc the stable
and finding him gone, at once concluded he had
been stolen, and parties were sent out IN various
directions in search of the missing horse 1t is
said that some rode as much as twenty-six miles
By this time the boy, having had the horse
shod, was returning to the stable and
hearing that Mr. Swan wanted to see him rode
the horse up to the store on the southeast corner
of Market Square When he came up Mr. J.
Baker in state of sudden excitement from the
inconvenience to which they had been put, and
thinking that the boy had taken the horse in
'entonally seized him and pulled him from the
Iorse at the same tins inficting two heavy
blows with cowhide. He then took the boy
inside the store and bound his hands together
and tied rope to his arm. Subsequently he
,lnbounI his hands and the father of the boy
came in and loosed the rope and took the boy
away Afterwards Mr.. Sharp, the boys
father, took warrant and Mr.. Baker was tried
before Recorder White, who fined him 5000.

that separation has been agreed upon some

legged that he was afraid his wife would poison
him, and had her arrested on that ground. She
chose single lawyer, and her husband pro-
cured the services of two, but Mrs. Scott
did most of the talking, and scarcely allowed
her own or the opposing counsel to get in a

for herself that the Justice did not think it
worth while to commit her on the charge.
