A HOOsIER WAC.

In Fort Wayne, last week, some score OF
loving wives perceived some score of loving
husbands hurrying home from stores and
offices full two hours ahead oftime. Full of
alarm and sympathy these twenty loving
hearts exclaimed IS with one voice, 'Has
anything happened, dear9" and was unani-
mously assured that the dizziness OF b1si-
ness-'Fhe panic, you know"-permitted
them to give little more leisure to domes.
tic happiness. 1t was touching sight to
beaming on the faces of the wives, as their
husbands went not forth to the club, but
fingered in the sitting. room till bed time;
and still more touching to note their indig-
nation when it was whispered about that
the husbands were the victims of wag
who had written them letters about some
fellow who was coming to see their wives
that night.

ALTHOUGH the mode of selecting Judges
is settled by the State Constitution, the
GAINESVILLE Chronicle is none the less i'm
PEELED to write thereon as follows:
Experience has, We think, demonstrated
the fact that the election Of Judges by the
people has failed to secure the big hest quail
iications-iegal learning, high integrity and
independence in the administration of JUS
lice. 1t may be cid fogyish To 90 back
wards, but when progress tends to evil rath-
er than good, it is wiser to return TO safe
precedeuts than 70 ad 7ance heedlessly in
wrong direction. Political Judges are not
safe depositaries Of the rights of individ1-
ais, life, liberty and property, because i'm
Partially cannot always be expected from
those who look to political friends for re-
election, or for higher preferment. In spite
of learning and integrily-such is the weak
ness of human nsture-one may be unduly
biased, uncOnsciously to himself, by per-
sonal friendship, or political sfinities.

HIRED CLACQUERs call the Republican
party the party of progress, etc. Its real
effect on progress may be Cleaned from this
wall of the Columbia Herald:
eve see no cause for US to render our
selves ridiculous in the eyes Of the people,
by preaching progress and improvements
when scarcely any man in twenty can COM
mand money enough at present to pay four
per cent. on his liabilities. The all absorb
inc question Of the people now is, what
shall we do, and what is to become Of the
country, if there is not a change for the
better, aud that very soon ?''

FACTORIES MORE REEDFUL THAN
RAILROADS.

Nashville is already a notable railroad
centre, and is destined to become much
more so. Still our observations lead US to
the belief that the rapid growth of that city,
is due, not so much to the facilities afford
ed by those commercial channels, as to the
liberal and active capital invested in profits
able and varied machinery. Twenty rail-
roads might, daily, empty their cargoes Of
agricultural and mechanical productions in
to its depots, but without consumers of the
surplus, and without producers to send out
return cargoes, those roads would con-
tribute comparatively little, to the active
or permanent growth of the city. The day
has passed when locality can build cities,
aud, unless reared by machinery, there can
be no moro cities. Capital must supply
machinery and skill create and direct it, or
prospective cities are mere "castles in the
air." Population and mechanical skill nee.
essitate the construction of roads; aud those
who reverse the theory, and rely upon rail-
roads to bring the population and furn ish
the capital for profitable Investment, will
find themselves hopeiessly disappointed

STRANGER THAN FICTION.

A North German paper advertises for
the American heirs Of Cstharine Spelling and
her daughter Dorothy, both Of whom died
q violent death in 1852, a. Amsterdam. The
story of the death of the two women, so
long ago as 1852, and the finding of their muir
derer twenty years after, is a revelation of
actual occurrences which are as terribly
tragic as may be found within the lids of
romance. The widow, Catherine Spelling,
and her daughter Dorothy, were joint
possessors of diamonds, money, and bonds
worth $4,000, and occupied a house by
themselves on Harlan street, Amsterdam.
One Gay in the summer of 1852 placard
appeared on their door saying they had
gone to the country. SIX weeks rolled
around and still the placsrd remained on
the door. The suspicious of the police
were aroused by the long absence of the
women, and the house was entered, The

ton; the bodies of the two women were
