and prepares his devices accordingly. The
~, the hook, the troll, the spear are moi
used Unfortunately upon al kinds but
are applied - circumstances may require.
It nay astonish some readers to be told
that these swindlers profess to be engaged
in legitimate business, as honorable and
just % that Of any other class Of men; ye,
such is tho fact. The way they reason is
this: All men delight in being humbugged,
some in one way, and some in another, and
others in still different ways. 1t requires
. great deal of time aud thought aud skill
on our part to enable US to meet these
varied tastes and wants, and we ought to
be paid for that time and thought and skill.
Il is just as laudable and honorable to eat
isfy these wants Of human nature as it is
to satisfy any other class of wants. Peo-
pie will gladly pay their money to go and
see the magician or delusionist perform,
~ell-knowing when they 60 that they are
being humbugged and deceived, and indeed
they go and pay their money for the ex-
press purpose of being humbugged and
deceived. Are we not just as much en-
titled to pay for doing the same kind OF
business as the juggler is: Besides, we
educate the people. No amount of school
learning or newspaper instruction will ed
ucate a man as he is educated after we
have had few turns at him. We do not
take peoples money for nothing as is usual
ly said; we do more hard work for an
honest living than the skilled mechanic or
the average of merchants, lawyers, doc
tors or preachers
Such are the sophisms with which many Of
these men seek to conciliate their own con-
nefarious vocations. OF all the work that
= newspaper does, none is so thanklessly
received as its efforts to expose swindles
and humbugs, and it almost seems as if
none was more useless. 1t does seem some
times IS though men delighted in being
humbugged, and were determined to lose
no opportunity of satisfying this desire.
The latest dodge we have noticed is as
follows: The swindler represents himself
to be the proprietor Of hotel in Louis
Vile called the " Atlantic" He floods the
country with letters, in which he informs
each party addressed that relative of his
died at the Atlantic hotel short time pre-
vious, leaving trunks and moneys which he
desired sent to the friend he is writing to.
He then requests the friend to send the
amount of the deceased relatives bill,
when he (swindler) will instantly forward
oil the valuables now in his possession
OF course there is no such house as the
Atlantic in the city. This fellow operates
under the name of NJ. L. Mason, and hun
dreds Of letters containing money were
sent him within the last few days. Hap
PLY the fellow has been caught. and it is
to be hoped that his ingenuity will here
after be confined to making boots and shoes
or some other State prison industry.

The Goodhue County Council held last
Friday was a grand success. The meeting
was opened at l04 q. M, recess was tax.
On from l to 2 p. m. for dinner, and the
session closed at 5p. m. The amount Of
discussion had and Of business transacted
in the five and one-half hours would have
been an honor to any deliberative body
The committees were ready with their re.
ports and reported promptly. The Discus
sions were full of thought and argument,
the speeches short and always to the point.
The improvement in IN understanding of
parliamentary rules, in the science of de-
bate, and the ease and freedom attained
in public speaking through the educating
influence Of the Grange is just what
could have been expected. The Grange has
been most appropriately common school
for grown people.
The resolutions offered at the Council
were not of the stiff and stilted kind. that
are usually prepared beforehand, read
in string and passed without being un-
derstood, but they we're with one or two
exceptions resolutions prepared and pre-
sented by members of the Council in course

Terrible Accident to Bridal Party.

A terrible accident happened, few days
ago, to party of young people near Stan
hope, N. j., which will cost two of the
party their lives, and MAIN another. A
young couple had just got married at Do
yer, and, with four friends, started in a
carriage to Budd's Lake.
While they were climbing the Stanhope
mountain, near the railroad bridge, the
pole of the carriage broke and the vehicle
rolled rapidly down the steep grade. It
struck against the side of the bridge, tore
off the railing and went over the abyss, a
distance of fifty feet landing on the rail-
road track shapeless mass.
The bride and one of the gentlemen had
both their arms and legs and several ribs
broken. The other two ladies were fear
fully bruised, and the bridegroom fractured
an arm, besides receiving number of cuts
about the person. A number of men at
work in the furnace near by ran to the res
cue, and did all they could for the sufferers,
who were subsequently taken to Dover.

Another Murder.

On the 9Th inst, body was taken from
Drawers Creek, near Wilmington, Del,
which was recognized as that of Robert A.
Mackey, drover, of Lewisville, Chester
county, Pa. On Wednesday, the Goth, he
drove to Newark, N. j., and fell in with
Joseph Taylor, living near Jennersville.--
After drinking together Macl1ey and Tay-
lor went to st. Georges and drank more,
Macl5ey paying the bills and showing con-
siderable money, while Taylor seemed to
have none. This, according to present in
formation, was the last seen of Maokey
alive, and subsequently Taylor appeared at
Odessa, alone with Mackey's horse and
buggy, and at the hotel displayed a large
sum of money. Driving away he returned
on Thursday to Middletown, near Odessa,
sold the horse and buggy for half their
value and disappeared. On Friday the
body was found, and it is said that marks
of violence were on it, though none were
referred to in the verdict of the Coroner's
jury. Last evening brother of Mackey
arrived at Middletown to have the body ex-
humed. In various particulars this affair
resembles the Udderzook case. Taylor is
represented to be person of bad reputa-
tion, who had forged his fathers name and
committed other criminal acts.

Excitement in France BazaIne,s Escape

Paris, August, 11.-Intense dismay has
been created among the French govern
ment officials here and the city is wild with
excitement over news received here this
morning of the escape,of Marshall Bazaine
from the military prison on the island of
Sainte Marguerite,
The following interesting particulars of
tue escape Of Bazaine from his prison on the
Island of st, Marguerite, have been receiY-
ed; The apartment occupied by Bazaine
opened on q terrace, which was built on a
lofty cleft oyerhanging the sea. A sentry
was posted on the terrace, with orders to
watch the prisoners every movement, On
Sunday evening Bazaine walked upon the
terrace with Colonel Yillette, his aid-de-
camp. AT ten o'clock he retired, as usual,
apparently to sleep, but before daybreak
he had effected his escape, He must have
crossed the terrace in the dead of night, and
eluding the sentinel gained the edge of the
precipice, and thence, by means of knot
ted rope, descended to the sea-
He evidently slipped during the descent
and tore his hands, as the rope was
found stained with blood in several places
Under the cliff, in hired boat, were Ba-
zaine's wife and cousin. They received
him as he reached the water, and the wife,
taking the oars herself, rowed directly to a
strange steamer which had been lying Off
the island since the previous evening.
They reached the steamer in safety, were
taken ON board, and the vessel put to sea.
1t is thought they have landed at Genoa, as
the steamer proceeded in that direction.
The first news of the affair came to Grasse,
the nearest place ON tie coast, and the
magistrates of the town sent officers in ev-

THE nominations for President Judge in
Cumberland county, do not seem to meet
with favor from either party. A few such
nominations would be a strong argument
in favor of placing the appointment of
Judges in the hands of the Governor. One

an article on the nominations, expressed its
disgust at the whole ticket in the following
strong terms

notice of the ticket for some future time

An investigation was ordered. Colonel

of st. Marguerite was placed under arrest
