THE contempt case at Salt Lake was
disposed of on the 18th. When the case
was called up Judge Morgan said: II
am required to apologize in open Court.
I can only say in addition to what 1
have said in my answer that 1 regret
that anything has occurred to mar the
harmony which should exist between the
Bench and the bar, between you as the
Judge of said Court and myself as a
member Of the bar; and l now, as here
tofore, disclaim any intent of being dis
courteous, or of treating the Court con-
temptuously." The Court said that
what constituted contempt was the intent
to be contemptuous, and after explaining
the relative positions of the Court and
the bar, dismissed the case.

The SUPERNATURAL.-The Virginia En-
terprise of the 18th contains lengthy
account Of certain marvellous supernatu-
raj occurrences which, though seemingly
incredible, are vouched for by the Enter
prise as unguestionable facts, supported
by the testimony of respectable parties.
A brief synopsis of the story shows that
James MeDonough died SIX years ago
and his widow subsequently married.
The children Of MrDonough are living
with the family of J. c. Mansel, and
hearing strange and unaccountable noises,
and seeking out the cause, the daughter,
Agnes, had conversation With the spirit
of her father. He stated that he had
been in purgatory since his death, but
wonld remain upon earth six days, and
then be taken to heaven. At the bour
named the apparition was again seen by
Agnes, when her fathers spirit clasped
her hand, kissed her afectionately, and
then took his leave for heaven. 1t is a
wonderful story, even for the wonderful
times in which we live; yet it is sustained
in such a manner as toremoye any doubt
that light exist in regard to it.

Mr.. Biggs, the low comedian who represents
Delaware In Congress-, offered, yesterday. in
reply to certain truthful remarks of Mr.. Hoar
concerning the deplorable educational condition
OF Delaware, a list OF the crimes that was per-
petrated in Massachusetts last year. This is
about the poorest kind Of an argument that
could have been presented to prove that Del
aware ignorance is better than Massachusetts
enlightenment, especially as Mr.. Biggs failed to
offer list of the crimes that had been COM
mitted in his own State. II he had instituted
such comparison, it would have beeu found we
think, that Delaware has as many sins to answer
for as Massachusetts. The jails Of Pennsylvania
and Maryland contain to-day scores of felons
who came from Delaware to prey upon the peo-
pie and to be supported at the expense of our
tax payers. Mr.. Hoar might also have informed
Congress- that Delaware not only has no State
system Of public schools, but that last year it's
Legislature annulled the charter Of the State
Normal School, an institution supported entirely
by private enterprise, because the principal told
the Commissioner of Education at Washington
the honest truth about the public schools Of
Delaware. Instead Of going to work to remedy
the evil, they actually aggravated it in spitfHl
spirit, by attempting to destroy the best school
in the State. When Biggs gets upon his feet
again, we hope he will be hoored at once with
this fact. t. ftfT

Some time last month he was visiting the family
Of Springer LYMAN in Newport, where, one
morning, as he was drawing on bis boots, he fell
from the chair to the floor and received severe

more to old age than to the fall. His sufferings
continued up to the time Of his death. Up to
