A LEGAL QUERY.


Messrs. EImore and Collens not having
been legally installed are not incumbents
of Office, the displacement of whom would
entail right for the emoluments Of their
Offices for the full terms.
We suggest this IS an answer 10 our
quegist withon: touching fog its being
sound law. ...
But We believe it is. We know that the
competent lawyers in the Legislature who
passed the bill creating the Superior
Court contemplated reduction Of ex-
penses.
The public is aware that we regard
Judge Abel as highly competent and
just judge, and We have not yet learned
enough about the incumbent district at
torney-we forget his name-to suspect
him as amenable to such charge. Then
what does Colonel Frank Zacharie mean
by this incendiary, outrageous and libel
Gus attack?
Resolted, That all protection to
life, liberty and property has ceased to exist
in our midst.
When Democratic indignation meetings
'resolOot' in this manner against the
Democratic officials who are especially
charged with the punishment of those
who infringe these great fundamental
and constitutional. rights, we submit that
it is about time Republicans or some
other competent persons should under
take the Job.

THE USE OF INNOCENT THIRD PARTIES

THE USE OF INNOCENT THIRD PARTIES"
In our inmost soul we regret to put on
record such an opinion, but duty to the
public demands it. 4 Senator of1the City
Hall assemblage, one who has some repu-
tation for honesty in the State, won by
close attention to the ten commandments,
was asked his opinion of the Weed & Co.
printing warrants, and the possibility of
stopping, at least in part, their payment.
He replied;
'What's the use of kicking? Those
warrants are in the hands of innocent third
parties. It's just as if you stole my watch
and passed it to another man, in fact; but
in law this innocent third party is secure.
There are lots of this kind of patriots. I
didn't know it was SO bad. But now am
going home to look after the plantation,
and let Grant, or whoever likes it, attend
to politics.
Whose turn next to drop off?

A Type-SettIng Machine.

The New York correspondent of the
Reading Times and Dispatch writes thus
enthusiastically of type-setting machine
just brought to perfection in that city:
Just as the great Morse, forty years ago,
was developing his system of telegraph
in secret and alone; just as Fulton created
the steam engine in the solitude of an
humble apartment, so have l to-day seen
a man in New York who, for thirty years,
has given his life to one grand idea, and
at last exhibits the happy consummation
of his labors, to-wit The setting of type
by machinery. Old, wrinkled and bent
with thought; unable to speak word of
English; poor in this worlds possessions;
the inhabitant of an attic, and sharing
his room with the curious creature of his
brain, there he sits at this moment in
front of row of piano keys, sending Il
type into its place at each touch, and re-
producing the column of a newspaper at
the rate of six thousand TENS" an hour,
or in other words doing more than the
average work of four compositors. To
describe the machine IN detail here is i'm
possible. Suffice it to say that it occupies
not more space than an ordinary bureau,
is operated by a treadle, and is simple in
construction. Attached to it is an ap-
paratus for 'justifying," and accompany
ing the whole is machine for "distribut-
ing" Each of these is performed rapidly
and correctly. The beauty OF the inven-
ton is its utility and economy-the esti-
mated cost not more than four hundred
dollars-a sum that will enable well-to-do
compositors to own the apparatus, and
thus save wear and tear of both body and
mind. None have yet been manufactured
for sale, but the largest publisher in New
York has given his order for forty as soon
as the company is organized for their in
PRODUCTION. 1t may be months or years
before practical use is made of the little
entirely-but here it is, the
successful solution of problem that has
worried the minds of men for a century.

that speaks, the face that gaZes, and her
pose breaks into movement. Leaps a
sudden light into the eyes unfathomable
blue. The tiny rosebud face is shining
all over with smiles. Legs and arms, and
the whole 1.-THE little body are astir and
aspiring. 1t is the far-of hidden heart
that as yet has uttered no word of love,
but feels in its businesses the great throb
of human sympathy, and darts out its
swift and glad response. Nay, more than
that, the shy little, sweet little. coy little
woman, the Sleeping Beauty that a score
of years will scarcely waken, breathes
even now on the unconscious air, and the
baby turns quickly away from the too
fervid sunshine of your look, and buries
her happy face in nurses sheltering Shout

Perils of the Drug Stores.
THE New Orleans Picayune saws:

NE Nv" ollCdHS L HbTHHt says.
A correspondent makes some pertinent
remarks on the unlawful licensing of I'M
educated druggists. As an illustration of
the vital importance of a thorough knowl
edge of medical chemistry to qualify a
person for compromising prescriptions, it
may be mentioned that not long since
physician tried an experiment to satisfy
himself as to the extent of the danger in
Cured on account of ignorance in this re-
gard. Calling at certain drug store, he
presented the following prescription:
''Hydrag clor. mitis, grs. X. soda bycarb.,
grs. Y; ammonia murias., grs. X" Say
ing he would call for the mixture in few
minutes, he turned as if to go, when the
druggist, in an excited tone, called him
back. Doctor" said the latter, 81 can't
make up these ingredients for anybody to
take; you must have made mistake"
How so?" said the doctor. ''Why don't
you see that there are here all the equiva-
Tents to constitute corrosive Sublimate?"

self that she had not seen the owner or
the article for some time.
Tea was ready, and she went to the
door and called. No answer. Then she
looked up the road, and down the road,
and through the house and barn, and
even into the old corn-crib, where Kathic
sometimes made mud-pies, but no little
girl She rushed to the wide, back piaz-
"a, and said,
John, Kathie is lost :"
Nonsense" But he took his hat FROM
the peg behind the door and went out.
Nearly two hours of fruitless searching,
and Mr.. Harris began to despair He
knew that "Gost' on the great Western
prairies meant very different thing from
" lost" in the Eastern cities
But at length, weary and heart sick, he
stumbled on very strange thing to find
on the open prairie. A child, with long.
curling hair, damp with dew; flushed
checks, damp with something else; and
ono corner of little check apron, nearly
full of berries, held fast in her hand,
while dollie lay cuddled up under the
arm. There were 10 stains about the
mouth, showing that the child had been
faithful to her errand.
As her father lifted her in his arms, she
turned uneasily in her slumber and muir
INJURED, "Im earnin' shoes ~
With his own eyes suspiciously wet, he
carried her home, and laid her, doll, Der
ries and all, in her mothers arms.
The next morning, when Kathie woke
in her own little bed at home, she express
ed no surprise, but simply asked:
"Oh, mamma, where are the 6er77es?"
''Safe, my darling"
'And may 1 sell 'em? Have l got
more'n two hundred quarts? An get
some shoes for my own self? An"
"Hush, Kathie. Wait and sec," an
swered mamma.
So it came about that the next time
papa went to town he brought home with
him pair of bright, copper-toed shoes,
which Kathie took to bed with her every
night, and carried around with her every
day.
Mrs. Harris overheard her, after dis
playing them to Seraphina for the fiftieth
time, say:
''WelI, 'Manda, we had hard time,
didn't we? l don't see why God let us
run away so far and get lost. Maybe he
was was lookin' at somefin' else, and
forgetted all about you and me pickin'

MY CHILD LOVE,

Ny child-love and L,
Chasing summer CLEANS and shadows.
My child-love and L;
Wandering in the bowery lanes
Making rose-tipped daisy chains,
Storing fairy treasure trovc.
Tender chestnuts from the grove,

What little things could make us glad,

What fairy Castles did we build,
Every room so gaily filed:
With sun and flowers ever new,

Endless pleasures, boundless wealth,
Ceaseless joy, and cloudless health,
Nonght should change, and nought could die,
So ruled my child love and l.
We were parted in our youth,
My child-love and L;
In our fearless baby truth.
MY child-lOve and l.
She in virgin freshness died,
l stood weeping at her side,
Turning to the world again,
Gathering many deepening sta
Other loves their empire held.
Fewer dreams such empire quelled,
