We havo expressed our opinions very
decidedly as to the canvass for United
States Senator, which resulted in the
election OF Mr. J. J. Patterson. When
affidavits were made by members of the
Legislature duplicating him in attempts
at bribery, and proceedings were taken
to bind him and his agent. Mr.. Worth
ington, to appear to answer the charges
before the Court of Sessions, in Febru-
ary next, we supposed that the matter
would be thoroughly investigated, and
the guilt or innocence of the accused
parties plainly made to appear. It seems,
however, that on Tuesday IL J cuse was
brought up again in the court of Trial
Justice Richmond, and adjudged anew,
and this time in favor of the parties.
The complaints we're dismissed, it ia
stated. and the parties discharged. there
being no evidence against them. With.
out desiring to say anything in this con-
nection upon the question OF guilt or
innocence, we are clearly OF the opinion
that the proceedings are irregular, aud
will not stand the test of legal criticism.
Trial Justice Richmond has no more au-
thority in the premises than Kirk had.
His court is not one to which the case
can be appealed, being only Of concur
rent, and not of superior, Jurisdiction.
Whatever showing Messrs. Patterson
and Worthington may be able to make,
it must be done elsewhere, and in face
Of the afidavits already of record, and
confronted by the original witnesses who
appeared against them. The notice
which appeared in the PHGN1x yester-
day was one OF the proceedings OF court.
and published as any other items Of
news. The question as to innocence or
guilt is one which now mainly concerns
the tribunals of Justice.

SHOCKING MURDER OF Two LITTLE
CH1LDREN.-One Of those terrible trage.
dies which from time to time startle
community, and for which there appears
no conceivable cause, occurred at Co.
lumbiana, Ohio, Tuesday. A man named
Erben Porter was left in O room with his
two children, one aged three and the
other one year. His wife was in an up.
per apartment attending to her domestic
duties, when she suddenly heard terri
BILE shrek from the girl. Rushing down
stairs she beheld both her little ones
stretched on the floor, mangled and
bloody, while her husband was walking
coolly of, carrying in his hand the
hatchet with which he had committed
the fiendish act, and with which he had
just before been cracking hickory nuts.
The mother was SO overcome by horror
and grief as to be incapable of giving an
alarm until the wretched murderer had
escaped.

PREHISTORIC CITIES.
From the Boston journal.

An interesting discovery has been made
in the south of France. A distinguished
geologist has found in the Pyrenees, only a
slight distance below the soil, the remains Of
prehistoric cities. The discover
les are very numerous, and will
help in pushing the domain
of history still farther back into the past
than it has ever gone before. Previous to
1854, we had no idea of lacustrine habita-
tons, but in that year the winter was par
ticulary crisp and cold in Switzerland, and
the level of the water was lowered in all
the lakes. The inhabitants of Meilen had
profted by the low water to raise a little
dyke On the borders of Lake Zurich. Driv-
rug down some piles, the encountered OBJ
stacles, and found that piles and enormous
thick oak planzs had already been driven
down. Between the pieces Of wood they
discovered stone and bone instruments,
clumsy pottery, etc. These utensils bore
such resemblance to those in use by the
primitive people, that it was at once
concluded that the Meilen discoveries were
of the greatest antiquity. The "frst men"
of that country were supposed to have built
their habitations above the water, and ifthe
hypothesis were Just, the same vestiges of
duOJucT aye WOulu Dc lOullu at Gu6 UOG-
tom of the principal lakes. These conjec-
lures were soon confirmed. The fishers re-
membered that on former occasion their
nets had been caught upon piles driven in
the lake bottoms; and pottery had also been
found, and had been ascribed
to a late date. At last every
one went to hunting in the lakes,
and out of the depths of the Helvetian lakes
they drew up to the light of modern day a
civilization heretofore unknown.
Switzerland more than two hundred
"stations," as the discoveries called them,
or relics of primitive villages, were found.
But they did not all belong to the same
epoch; some were classified as having been
built in the stone age, others in the bronze
age, and still others in the iron age.
The discoveries in the Pyrenees disclose
habitations Of the same general character as
those under the Swiss lakes. In all the
western part of the Pyreneean chain, these
habitations are numerous, and belong to
the stone age. The Archaeological society
of that district is making efforts, at great
expense, to develop these discoveries into
species of history of the people who inhabi-
ted the houses.

THE PRESS AS AN EDUCATOR.

In an article upon "The Press as an Edu-
Gator" in the forthcoming report of the
Commissioner of Education, Judge j. j.
Noah gives a concise history of the origin,
rise and present development of this great
power in modern civilization, both in the
United States and in foreign countries. He
traces the history of newspapers back to
the war between the Venetians and SOly-
man ii in Dalmatia, in 1868, when people
paid a coin called a gdzettd for the priv
lege of listening to news from the seat of
war, read from written sheets. A file
of these written Venetian papers, for
sixty years, is in the Magliabecchi Library
at Florence. He thinks the origin of the
newspaper was in a love of gossip and SLAM
der rather than from higher motives, and
considers it 'creditable to the press that it
has, in the march of progress, achieved
higher and lnobler purposes" The year
1882 is given as the first authentic date of a
newspaper in England. The first daily pa
per was published in 1902, a sheet of one
page with two columns, called the Daily
COltrdRt. The famous letters of
Junius, published in the Public Advertiser
in 1867, gave great impetus to the power
and Importance of the press. At the be-
ginning of the present century the London
Times circulated only 1000 copies a day,
though the circulation of some other papers
was as high as 1000. The Times in 1914,
Nov. 90, claimed to have presented to the
public "the practical result of the greatest
improvement connected with printing since
the discovery of the art
itself''-the application of the power of
steam to the printing press. In
1915 there were 254 newspapers published
in the United Kingdom and So in London
(15 dailies.) In 1929, this number in the
kingdom had increased to 325; in 1898, to
400; in 1860, 800. In the United States,
the first newspaper was issued at Boston,
Sept. %, 1890. The first paper issued in
New Y ork was in 1725, Oct. 16. In 1900,
there we're 200 journals in this country, of
which several were dailies. In 1885, there
were 200. In 1871, there were 1898 peri
odicals issued in the United States, of
which S94 were published in New York
State, and 81 in New York city. An inter-
esting table shows the comparative develop
ment of journalism in Europe and in the
United States. The writer claims that
much more money is expended on our
great metropolitan journals than on any of
those in Great Britain or Europe-both
from the fact that all expenses incident to
the business are larger, and also because of
the greater enterprise on the part of pub
fishers and editors.

Union AND AMERICAN,
TWO SONGS.

... -Goi
All! not to-night-my soul is sore with pain;
All! not tonight, for thou wilt plead in vain,
Though sweet thy voice as fall of summer rain
Friend, can find no other word, but-no-
TheTel-leaTe me!-Go!
cannot hear thy pleading. For my tears
1 cannot see thy face. Those weary years
Sweep wild across me with their doubts and fears
Wilt thou obey my anxious 'hest?-i know
But that word-Go!
Birds pair not here in winter; south they HE.
dare not bid thee hope; ali! no, not l.
Weak hearts brave not the danger. l must fly
Lest through my weakness 1 should yet fOrego
This whispered-nO
Go. friend! the sun is sinking down the west,
Tomorrow may calm this wild unrest;
But ahi tonight would be left unblest.
Seek me again, 1 may not answer no;
Go, darling, Go!
u.-sTAYl
Sweet have sought for thee long years in vain,
O'er wastes Of barren land and DER the main;
But now thy love, my sweet, shall make it plain,
This not the cruel voice Of yesterday
Which bids thee stay.
Love, have pinned for thee, long, weary years.
: weet l lave poured for thee a wealth of tears.
Ali kiss me, love, and charm these idle fears.
There! therel-the last tear trace is kissed away,
And now, dear-stay!
In simmer airs the swallows homeward fly:
As flowers in rainless summers drOOp and die,
So have pinned through many a weary day
To bid thee stay.
1 hear the feet Of angels down the west;
And IN my soul a yearning half-expressed
Bids thee remain, my sweet, my wedding guest.
Let this require thee for my cruel nav;
All! darling, stay!

now afianced wife revived sufficiently to
hear how we were saved by a 'sparty of
passing sleighriders who met us just as we
were surrounded" Though nervous and
weak from the excitement, she recovered
her buoyancy of spirits before we arrived
home, and had promised to keep our adj
venture secret, as / informed her ''the
owner ofthe horses would charge me fear
full price if he knew to what test his steeds
had been put" And that is my adventure
with wolves, and how l came to marry.
"But did your wife never find out the de-
ception you practiced?' we asked of the old
settler, as he laughed again while thinking
Of his boyish pranks.
"Not until about eight years ago." he re-
piled, "when told her of it one evening
when she was ironing" What did she say?"
''Not much-not very much," answered
our old romancer, but removing his hat, he
showed us triangular space upon his head,
such as might have been made by a hot
smoothing iron, and with not hair upon
its surface. We thought Fanny was re-
venged.
