sILAs GRIMCRIX,s TRAP.

Its a plain case" Mr.. Grimgrin
said. Against whom would there
not have been a plain case, Mr..
Grimgrin Judging.
NO doubt he is guilty; but what
are the facts = inquired Miss Thugge,
in whose theory Of justice striking
came before hearing.
They are very simple" Mr.. Grim
grin answered: Presented an al
tered check at the Oxide bank this
morning-in Jail for forgery this
evening"
''But there may be some explana-
tion," timidIy remarked a young
lady, at whose simplicity Mr.. Grim
grin smiled and Miss Thugge sniff;
ed.
"He should have made it at once,
then" said Mr.. Grimgrin. ''instead
of standing dG1ab before his accus-
ers. After explanations don't go for
much in such cases"
Poor Edith it will break her
heart the young lady could not
help adding. Pooh p said Mr..
Grimgrin ''as you viii find out
some day. heart-breaking is only
figure of speech"
Leaving the rest of Miss Thugges
party to laugh, and the young lady
to blush, at Mr.. Grimgrin's senten-
tious observation, let US go back a
step.
Ernest Jasper. whose arrest for
forgery was just now the subject of
conversation, had hitherto borne an
character. He and his
brother George. out of moderate sal
aries, after supporting their widowed
mother, managed to lay up something
every year, and each was looking to
a happy time-not far distant. he
certain tender en-
gagements would no longer need be
deferred.
The course of true love never ran
than in the case Of Ernest
Jasper and Edith Wade. Too trust
ing to allow mischief to be made be-
tween them, and too generous to
make it between themselves, what
could disturb the even tenor of two
such lives?
George Jasper was Of different
temper from his brother. With a
leart as true, he was impulsive and
passionate. It is such men that are
EASILY melted to jealousy, and who
lct rashly under it!
When George Jasper and Mildred /
Heath plighted their troth. they
would have staked their lives on
zach others loyalty. But evil
came between them. Stories
which should have been scorned-
md were so at first-in time began
o be listened to. Then came quar-
els and reconciliation, time and
gain repeated. till at last it was in
inuated to George that he had RI.
al in his love. He demanded an
in a tone so imperious
hat Mildred's pride took ohense.
nd she answered it with silence.
hey parted in anger, and Georges
isits ceased.
A few days later, a cool note from
fildred informed him that all was
yer between them. In his bitterest
he had not counted on this.
lis first impulse was to fiy from the I
Gene of his misery--whither he
ared not--the further the better.

A fight took place at Omaha the
other day between a gambler and
ex-preacher, whom the former accused
of too much fondness for his mistress.
The latter claims that he was trying
to induce her to reform. with pros
poets of success were he let alone.
The Coatrier-JoaTnal says ''you can
hammer sheet of gold until it be-
comes a mere auriferous shadow. but
you can't hammer it as thin as the
story of that ex-preacher.,'

The plea that Grant was bound
by the decision of Judge Durell to
force the assumption of the bogus
Government of Louisiana, is clearly
answered by one Of our exchanges
in this way: The Constitution ex-
pressly denies jurisdiction to the
United States Courts in all cases in
which a State is q party defendant.
Now, suppose a State should be
sued in one of those Courts, and the
Judge should, from either stupidity
or wrong-headedness, give judgment
against it, and the Marshal be re-
sisted in the execution of his process
for the collection of the amount
thereof. would the President be
bound to aid him by a few batteries
of artillery? Is the Judge every
thing, and is the Constitution hid
den behind his writ so as to blind
the official eyes of the President?
To answer in the affirmative is to
say that the Presidents oath to sup
port the Constitution, means that he
shall obey the order Of the United
States District Judges.

The Cholera MOrbuS.

We find the following recon-
mended as an old and tried remedy
for incipient cholera morbus. It con-
sists Of equal parts of laudanum,
spirits Of camphor and the tincture of
rhubarb. Dose, thirty drops every
four hours, in diminishing doses, or
in increasing doses if the proper
effect be not produced. Injections
of starch and laudanum are CON-
mended, and mustard pOultices and
perfect rest. In most violent at
tacks tinctures Of equal parts Of
opium, capiscum, ginger and car
damon; Dose. thirty to forty drops in
little water, and from three to four
drops Of chloroform may be added
in violent attacks. Strong poultices
should be applied to the stomach,
arms, legs and feet. Doses Of bran
dy and bottles of hot water sinapisms
and friction often work wonders.
Give the least possible water during
the attack. A little arrowroot and
brandy is often serviceable as re-
covering progresses. The best preven-
tive is perfect cleanliness by the use
of pure water. Remember that symp-
toms of diarrhGa are precursors of
cholera-morbus, which prevails in all
southern countries when the spring
and summer are wet and hot. Supply
your household with these medicines,
FIRST consulting a good physician, as
to their effectiveness. 54

A student, a bald-headed man,

A student, a bald-headed man,
and barber were travelling togeth-
er. Night coming on they agreed
to take turns in watching while the
other slept. The barber was to
watch during the first hour. and was
to wake up the student as the one
next. While the barber was guard
ing the slumbers of the other two
men, he amused himself by shaving
all the hair from the students head.
When the operation was over the
student awoke, and feeling of his
bare pate, cried out:

The Lone Sentry.

The following beautiful lines were
indited by Mr.. James R. Randall
upon the death Of Gen. T. j. Jack
son. The circumstances which oc
casioned the poem were these Gen.
jackson S troops, after a long and
weary march, were so much fatigued
that when a halt was ordered almost
nearly every man was asleep. The
noble old hero guarded the camp
alone that night:
Twas il the dying Of the day,
The darkness grew 50 still,
She drowsy pipe of evening birds
Was hushed upon the hill.
Athwart the shadows Of the vale
Slumber the men Of might,
AS one lone sentry paced his round
To guard the camp that night
A grave and solemn man was he,
with deep and sombre brow.
The dreamful eyes seemed boarding up
Some unaecomplshed VOW.
His wistful glance peered DER the plain
Beneath the starry light,
AS with the murmured name Of God
He watched the camp that night.
The future opened unto him
It's grand and awful SCROLL
Manassas and the Valley march,
Come heaYing DER his scul.
Richmond and Sharpsburg taundered by,
With that tremendous fight
Which gave him to the angel hosts
Who watched the camp that night.
We mourn for him who died for Us
With o1le resistiess moan,
While up the valley Of the Lord,
He marches TO the throne.
He kept the faith OF men and saints,
Sublime, and pure, aud bright;
lie sleeps, and all is wen with him
Who watched the camp that night.
Brothers, the midnight Of the cause
Is sirouded in our fate;
The demon Goths polute our soil
With fire, and lust, and hate =
BE strong, be valiant, be assured,
Strike home for Heaven and right!
The soul OF Jackson stalks abroad
And guards the camp tonight!

SINGULAR ExPLosroN.-Yesterday be.
tween 10 and l O'Clock, q singular expIo-
sion occurred at Adams Express Office,
corner Of Main and Monroe streets. A
short time previous to the hour mentioned
a beer casiE (hall barely filled with yeast
had been brought to the Office to be sent
to some point In the interior. On the
Cssk a pretty large box containing candy
prize packages had been placed to save
floor space. , Everything was moving
along with It's accustomed amoothncss in
that well.regulated and systematic estab-
llshment, when terrifying report was
heard in the direction Of the yeast barrel
and box Of candy. Simultaneously with
the report the yeast and candy were seen
land felO flying in all directions, bespattcr.
ing everything In the room Tor several feet
In the ceiling Immediately overhead A
large hole and numerous smaller onea
were made in the plastering, looking a. h
a 24.pound ball and two or three Cannls.
tiers filled with shot had been hurled with
great force against 1t. The mixture Of
yeast and candy on the floor did not look
at all inviting when We saw 1t q few min
utes alter the explosion, nor was the odor
as exquisite as the latest choice French
perfume. Fortunately nobody was hurt,
although the force with which the semi
liquid leaven was elected may DO judged
of from the fact that q sound board, an
inch thick, was broken In twain % II II
had been q sheet Of paper.

FIRST INsTALLMENT.-The first install
ment Of Howe's great circus and menag-
erie reached the city last evening. We
refer to the magnificent chariots, which
were shipped by rail from Steubenville,
1t was found on their arrival at Bridge
port that they could not pass through
back.river bridge, and they had, there
fore, to be taken back to Martinsferry and
passed over on the ferryboAt. Thence
they were brought to . point on Main
street near the Grant House, where
they remained last night. They
were objects Of great attraction and
were visited by hundreds last even
ing. All expressed themselves as having
never seen anything In that line to excel
them. This morning they will join the
grand procession and be drawn through
the principal streets, These chariOts are
built on q new principle, so that they
can be telescoped when not on exhibition,
When stretched out" to their full height,
they are fully thirty or thirty.nve feet
high, and present an appearance Of once
magnificent and artistic.

HELD TO BAIL-Slrs. Mary Hender-
shot is having world Of trouble these
days. In another paragraph we have re-
corded her arrest for disturbing the public
peace by giving loose rein TO pretty
active tongue naturally, and rendered still
more so by q pretty high temper, per-
haps. After the charge referred to had
been disposed Of as noted, Mrs. Fl. wasre.
arrested by Officer Prcttymsu, on CON-

before EsQr. L. yesterday, on q similar
charge TO that preferred against Mrs. Hen

POLICE CoURT.-The first case called
in the police court, yesterday morning
was that of Thomas Kinney, (colored)

complexion with himself, and a disturb
ance Of the public peace resulted there
from. Kinney was fined five dollars and

creating tumult and disorder, and was
also fined five dollars and costs. William

HoWRs CIRCUS AND MENAGERIE.-We
need hardly tell our readers that the day
promised for the appearance Of Howes
circus and menagGie has ar
rived, and sometime this forenoon they
will have an opportunity OF Witnessing one
Of the grandest displays ever seen on our
streets. We have neither time nor space
to enumerate all the particulars which
will enter into this grand result, but must
content ourselves with saying, that in
numbers OF chariots, dens OF animals
ponies, horses, elephants, performers, &C.,
&C., the parade promises to be the finest
Of ito character. No other establishment
on this continent can furnish such turn
out, and 1t will probably be long time,
II ever, before this region will be visited
BY another equal 10 1t. In connection
with the appearance of this great show
in our city, we will say that new can
vass was received by express last evening
and If the weather is propltious today,
1t will be spread for the first time. This
will be no ordinary feature in to-dsys
exhibition. Very few persons have 9 cor
rect idea OF the difference between the
appearance Of bran splinter new paVil'
ion and one that has weathered the storms
oil o campaign.
Having said so much Of the externAls
of this mammoth concern, we give the
following pertaining to the performances
inside:
The circus itself includes the experience
Of all the showmen whose names are TO-
miliar in American arenic history, COM
bined with the requisite wealth 10 pay
the salaries demanded by corps OF the
best circus performers in the world.
Hence we are permitted to see the DASH
ing, daring, death enveloping act Of Nor.
gan on his Arabian bareback Steed in tile
great hurdle act. For the same reason,
we witness the grace, the precision, the
beauty and skill Of Madame Dockrill, OF
fiying from the bare back Of her horse
through the air. over ribbons, through
hoops, all exhibiting marvellous ease in
equitation, which has won Tor the queen
regent of the Cirque Napoleon the add.
tlonal and just title of 1.-THE Empress of
the Arena" ..a
The strength Of Howe's London Circus
also has another illustration In the grand
entree act, consisting Of a richly dressed
cavalcade Of twelve ladies. And these
acts arc varied by the now and taking
antics Of Kenebel, the French clown. His
act of catching the butterfly and burlesque
Of Mons. Dockrill's grand menange are
infinitely amusing. The performance Of
the five elephants in the ring Is wonder
fully interesting; and this Is combined
with the fierce and thrilling adventures Of
Noloch in tho den of six foaming, painting
splendid royal Bengal tigers, and the den
Of the nine "lesn and hungry" grave rob-
bers. All that is advertised and prom.
ised is presented and performed. We
cannot too heartily commend this circus
and menagerie to confidence and patron
Ape. ...
