bSS he DEMOCRATlC ORGA AM ue
Charlestown Spirit claims to be the or
gan Of the Democratic party in this
County, but it is the lamest attempt of
al organ that we have ever seen, and
how any true democrat can give it his
support We can not divine. 1t violates
all the rules, in reference to nominating
conventions, that that party consider SO
binding ard which are necessary to the
preservation Of the party organization,
and sets out OH new line. Its col
umps are filled with contradictions from
week to week, So that they resemble the
tabled sign the ancient knights conten-
ded about, which presented q different
face to every standpoint. 1t would
puzzle philadelphia lawyer" to inter
pet its editorials and reconcile them to
each other. 1T is libel upon the party,
whose organ it claims to be, and instead
Of supporting the nominees of the regu-
lar Democratic Conservative Conren-
ton, which assembled in Charleston
on the 22nd instant, it runs up the tick
ct of the Charlestown dissenters, who
interrupted the progress of the Conrcn-
ton, the proceedings OF which it refuses
to publish, Oh tell it not in Gath.
Publish it not in the streets Of Askelon
That this is the organ of the Demo
cratic party, whom it thus insults.

gS' The Mass MEEriNG.-The fol-
lowing is clipped from the Spir'', which
totally ignores the proceedings of the
Convention and runs up the Charles
town ticket -
The mass meeting which assembled
here on Saturday last, repreSented fairly,
We think, the opinions of tue dtoSs"ll-
eni, from the Convention. 1t was COM
posed Of the friends OF the asplrants who
had received no nomination at the hands
OF the Convention.
"Our position, then, is simply this ::
That while mass meeting has no dele
gate authority, and can not band any
who do not actually take part In It, 1t Is
binding upon all the candidates for It's
favor, and every aspirant for office who
would have accepted recommendation
to the party from the hands OF that
meeting, ought now to feel himself
bound IN honor to withdraw IN favor OF
his more fortunate rivals. However
little authority the Convention aud the
Mass Meeting may have over the party,
as such, their proceedings should De al
solptely binding upon the disappointed
candidates themselves, and they should
refuse to allow themselves to DC voted
for
sa5- That is the opinion of large
majority of the people of the County,
we think. Those same "dissentients,
you name as holding the Mass Meet
ing" went before the regular Couven-
ton, their friends binding themselves in
the beginning Of its proceedings to sup.
port its nominees, and were defeated.
Ii then, they can hold MASS Meeting
of their friends and be nominated, so
can the disappointed candidates before
the MASS Meeting" hold another meet
ing or run independent What is fair
for one, is fair for the other.

RAILWAY TRAVEL.

Do not travel at night if you can
avoid it.
Take your breakfast always be-
fore starting on journey.
Obtain a seat near the sle'and near
the centre of the train. Never stand
an instant on any car platform.
Purchase nothing whatever to eat
on a rail-train, unless it is a simple
sandwich to be eaten at noon.
Keep your ticket under your
hatband, on the inner lining.
Avoid conversation while the cars
are in motion, because the overstrain
of tho voice to make one heard
above the noise of the wheels has
been such that in many cases there
has been such tension of the vocal
chords as to impair tho voice for
many months.
All reading in rail-cars while in
motion is injurious; but the injury
will be greatly mitigated by reading
only a quarter of an hour at time,
and for the next five minutes let the
eyes be directed to very distant OBJ
jocts. Those alterations from things
near to those remote is very great
relief and rest.
Make no new acquaintance on
railway train, especially those who
are disposed to push their attentions
on you.

Longfellow has written a oew
dramatic poem. 1t is entitled Tho
Divine Tragedy the subject of it
being the life and death of Christ
1t opens with dialogue between the
angel of the Lord and the prophet
Hobakkuk, in which the angel re"
veals to the seer vision of the Re.
deemer. Then comes the preaching
Of John the Baptist, summoning the
world 20 repentance. Most of the
important incidents in the career of
the Saviour are rehearsed, among
them the story of Mary Magdalen.
The interviews with NicodemIS and
the woman of Samaria, the suicide
of Judas, and the crucifxion scene
are given much prominence.

nnArH OF LAURA FAIR.

A San Francisco dispatch. jan
uary 3, says that Mrs. Laura D.
Fair, the convicted murderess, died
in prison in that city Saturday, De-
cember 30. Mrs. Fair was a woman
of great personal attractions and
aud strength Of character and was
finely educated. She once occupied
good social position in the Southern
States, but had more recently been
the wife or paramour of a great
many men. For several years she
was the mistress of A. p. Crittenden,
a prominent lawyer and Democratic
politician of San Francisco. Last
spring Crittendon appeared to be
striving to break away from the
siren and sent for his wife, who was
then visiting the Atlantic States
Mrs. Fair armed herself with pis-
tol and killed Crittenden as he was
sitting by the side of bis wife on the
Pacific Railroad ferry-boat, as Mrs.
Crittenden was arriving in the city.
Mrs. Fair was tried for murder,
and was convicted after long and
exciting trial, and sentenced to be
hanged. The defence was insanity,
and the defendants counsel asked
for new trial on various technical
grounds, chief OF which was the al
legged prejudice of some of the jury.
The case was argued before the Su-
prcme Court, but postponed from
time to time, aud was still pending
when death in prison solved the
question which had agitated the
courts and the community. 1t was
generally believed in San Francisco
that Mrs. Fair would commit suicide
rather than 60 to tho gallows, but
nothing in the brief dispatch quoted
above indicates that such was the
fact.

The Rome Commercial has this
to say about a recent party in that
city;
"The party at Maj. Smiths last
night was an innovation. The la
dies dressed in calico, and each one
made calico crsvat, the exact color
of her dress. These cravats were
then put in hat, and each gentle
man drew one. He then found the
girl that belonged to the dress that
matched his cravat, and was privi
legged to gallant her during the even
ing and escort her home at the wind
ing up of the show. The bellies and
beaux were out in heavy force and
eli were lovely"

The Tribune, in an admirable
editorial on Agassiz, quotes the
story of shrewd agent who tried
vainly to buy the great naturalist
for a winters lectures. "Why, sir,
you will make more money than by

'FBut | have not the time to make
money said Agassiz. In this short
sentence is expressed the whole of
that great sermon which Americans
most need.

vertently omitted to take her oout Of
them, and she being too badly chok-
