TRIAL OF HARRINGTON AT PIocHE.-
The case of Harrington, for the killing of
John H. Lynch, is progressing at Phoebe,
and excites considerable interest among
the people. From the testimony it APP
pears that the trouble, eliminating in
the death of Lynch. commenced in a
row between Frank SHOEMAKER and
a mar named 0'Neil, about a dog. One
of the witnesses examined made the re-
markable statement that he had been on
this coast since 40, and had never seen
a man killed before He had also been
a resident of Phoebe for some months !
The case for the prosecution will prob
ably rest to-day Saturday.

SErTLED.-By the Phoebe Record of the
10Th inst, we see that the war long ex-
listing between the Raymond a Ely and
the Hermes Company, has been ended
by a compromise. The first named COM
pany have commenced work on the dis
puted ground, and no further trouble is
anticipated. We are glad of this circum.
stance, as our neighbors would have suf-
fered seriously from dull times had the
quarrel longer continued.

FOURTEENTH AMENDMENr.-The late
news from Louisiana and Mississippi re-
port the negro portion of the population
to be largely in excess of the whites, and
the consequence is that the former are
taking possession of the rich plantations
owned by the latter. 1t is said that many
white occupants of lands are either fee
ing to the hills or are forced to sell their
property at half price, OIL not at all. This
state of things is to be deplored, and sug-
gestions are being made to apportion a
section of country to the colored popula-
ton of these States, and allow them to
have their own forms of government.

WHAT MINISTER WAsHBURN SAID
l was in Congress when the salary was
but 50, 900, 1 always found it more than
sufficient to meet my necessary personal
expenses. When it was raised to $1,000
thought it too much, and think SO
still but raising it to 81, 500 is nothing
more or less than straight stealing.
Every year that l was in Congress | laid
by a portion of my salary, and none of
my constituents ever complained that l
didn't live decently. The people don't
send their representatives to Washington
to live like princes, buck the tiger, and

Crazy ssJoe.1

HIS SIMPLE DIET AND HOW HE PREPARES THE
EsoHEWs COOKED vICrUALs FoR RAW MEAT AND
CORN MEAL.
Among the inmates of the New Castle county
almB-house ia one whose christian name Ia
Joe" II he has any other name, II 10 not
known to the writer, or to those from whom this
little bit of his history was obtained. He is
known as "Joe"-simply Joe"
Joe" has been an inmate Of the institution
for forty years. He went there raving maniac
-hopelessly insane-feared by all he came In
contact with, and avoided with as much dread
as though he had been wild beast of the forest.
Close confinement was his portien. He was not
suffered on any account to pass from behind the
iron grating which separated him from the
world, for his ferocity was known of all men, he
having, before his incarceration, made frequent
attempts upon the life Of those with whom he
was thrown. The condition Of his mind has,
however, greatly improved, of late years. and
from dangerous lunatio he has grown to be q
quiet and inoffensive imbecile, whose aotions
and mode Of life invest HIM with . particular
degree OF interest.
In the early years of his confinement, "Joe"
refused to partake Of the fare Of the institution
aud would accept from his keeper nothing but
uncooked food. His appetite craved nothing
else, and food in no condition other than raw
suited his palate. Atmeal times, an ear of corn
and lump Of raw meat were thrown to him in
hls cell, which was gulped down with as much
avidity as hungry beast, and relished with as
much gusto as the most favored dish is by an
epicure.
Nor did his natural appetite return with his
partial restoration 10 reason. To-day he es-
chews cooked food with as much puritanical
stFiatness in the days of his raving idiocy. He
subHlsts exclusively on raw meat and corn meal,
mixing the latter with water in . small cup which
he keeps for the purpose, stirring In little salt.
Sometimes he varies his ''staff Of life" by the
use Of milk instead Of water, but never changes
this article of diet.
A little incident Is told In connection with
"Joe," which will serve to show how confirmed
is his determination to stick to corn meal as his
principal article of food. Some time ago the
supply of this article gave out, and none could
be readily obtained. zoe" would eaG nothing
else, but he kept strict watch over every wagon
which departed for the city, and carefully scru-
tinized its contents when 1t returned. Finally,
to his great joy the long-wished for luxury came.
and in great glee he changed II from the bag in
which it was contained to his own, and became 4
happy man.
One would naturally suppose that man could
not live upon such q diet as this. But here is
proof positive. "Joe" has not only lived upon
it, but he has thrived and is likely to live for
years to come. He is hale and hearty, possesses
a strong muscular development, and il as con-
tented with his lot as though he wore q crown
Of gold studded with diamonds
