Incredible ViIlainy Confessed and ,
Published oyer the Signature
Of an Ignorant Tool |,
There was two and half column
jotter published in the Salesman OF
April 22d, over the signature OF one
B. F. White. in which an attempt was
made BY the writer, in confused
sort Of way, to explain portion OF
the frauds charged against the Bennett
party, while frankly admitting the
rest, and his responsibility for them.
Our correspondent charged Mr.. White
with the offense Of burning one ballot,
and he confesses to having burned
t,co, for the reason, as he says, that
the ballots. were returned in cigar bor-
Is. That is to say, Mr.. White, consti-
tuting himself supreme Judge of the
Kind of ballot boxes which should be
used, and Of the legality Of the re-
turns, adjudged such boxes as con-
tanned votes for Fem to be unsuitable
for ballot boxes and consigned them,
with the ballots contained in them, to
the flames. Could impudent rascality
90 further? Docs anybody believe
that a man having a spark Of sense
would commit such an act without pre-
vious assurance of executive protec-
tion.
If we admit that the boxes used for
ballot boxes were not such as should
have been used, and that the ballots
were illegal, the crime of destroying
them is not lessened one iota. The
people Of those precincts had voted in
good faith, and their act could only be
invalidated by the judgment Of
court. having jurisdiction of such
matters. But no special ballot box
is.required; nor does it matter wheth-
arf the box employed is sealed up or
nailed up. One or the other Of these
ways might be informal and the other
formal, but informalities are not ille-
galities, and no procedure is vitiated
b7 reason Of it's method having been
informal. This is an established prin.
ciple Of law known to everybody. II
is also we'll established that mere cler
ical errors, such as misspelling the
name Of q candidate, or not conform
ing to the exact letter Of the law in
making out election returns, are to b.
ignored by canvassers. Were a diff
ferent rule adopted the people Of thu
rural districts, who have little more
than an Instructive knowledge Of the
forms Of election returns would b.
practically disfranchised. Wheneve1
IL happened that one Of two opposing
candidates received an almost unani

cincts, IS did Mr.. Fem in some O

TEMPTATIONS OF TRADE.-A dry
goods clerk was on trial yesterday on a
charge Of dishonesty preferred by his EN-
ployer. The latter gave woman two
one-dollar notes which she was to hand
the young man as il by mistake for "A
single note. The trap was we'll baited,
and the youth fell into it, putting the odd
dollar into his pocket. But he was not
without defense. In his own behalf be
stated that he had been educated to dis
honesty. His employer had been selling
damaged goods" representing that they
had been wetted at fire, when in fact,
the hydrant in the cellar had beer bro't
into requiaiton to damage them The
clerks were compelled to tell falsehoods
about the goods, and were thus trained in
school ef rascality. If law and justice
were synonymous, the young man who
had simply followed out his employers
teachings ought to have been invited
down and out of the prisoners docket,
and his employer should have been sent
to Jail. As it was, the accused was ac-
quilted. But the moral of this trial is
worth its cost to the city treasury. A
business man who cheats his customers
may be sure his clerks will rob him.

ONLY MIsTAKE.-A young man Of
the town, who parts his hair in the cen
ter, says the Cincinnati Enquirer, is said
to have made a slight mistake at the op-
era last night. In order to obtain a
clearer perception of high note, he
reached in his coat tail-pocket and bro't
forth what he thought to be an opera
glass, but what proved to be revised
compilation of Derringer. People in his
immediate vicinity were surprised and
somewhat frightened to see him elevate
the ordnance to his eyes, and steadfastly
gaze down into its dark caverns Of death.
L was, upon first impression, thought to
be a cool, deliberate planned suicide, but
when he quietly put it back into his pock-
ct and brought the real article into requi-
sition, the horror melted from before
their eyes, and il became apparent that
it was only a mistake after all. A few
hairs, which lay on the larboard side Of
the young mans skull, had by some
means get on the starboard side. Hence,
the slight alteration Of mind.

NIGHT IN THE MOoN.-At last, how
ever, night sets in. Gratefully it comes
after the sun has gathered up his shifting
beams and gone down to his rest. All at
once we are plunged into comparative
obscurity, for again there is no twilight
to stay the steps of departing day. AT
one stride comes the dark. But looking
up into tho sky, we behold vast orb
which pours down a milder and more
benelicent splendor than the great lord OF
the system. Ii is such moon as we ter
restrialS cannot boast for it is not less
than thirteen times as large and luminous
rs our own. There it hangs in the firm
ament without apparent change of place,
AS If " fixed in its everlasting seat" But
not without change of surt.ce. For this
great globe is a painted panorama, and
turning round majestically on its axis,
presents its oceans and continents in
grand succession. As Europe ana Africa
which lock the Mediterranean in their
embrace, roll away to right, the stormy
Atlantic offers its water to view, and the
two Americas with their huge forests and
vast prairies, pass under inspection.
Then the grand basin of the Pacific light
ed up with island fires, meets the eye and
rs this glides over the scene, the eastern
rim of Asia and the upper portion of Aus
traia sail into sight. The Indian Ocean
and afterward the Arabian Sea roll into
view and spread themselves out in their
subduod splendor, and thus, in four and
twenty hours the great rotundity we
tread turns its pictured countenance to
the moon and grandly repays the listen
ing unarians by repeating to the best of
its ability the story OF its birth. Nor is
the sky less marvellous in another respect.
For the absence of any atmospheric diff
fusion permits the consultations TO shine
out with dstinctness which is never
paralleled on earth. They glitter like
diamond points set in a armament Of eb-
ony. Stars and clusters which we never
see with the naked eye, flock into view
and crowd the lunar heavens. s.-Brttish

ARTFUL BRETON GIRLs.-You often
in Paris meet the Breton lads sad instant
ly recognize them by the cut of their hair.
The girls, however little, wear white caps
that conceal every atom Of hair, which,
together with their wide collars, give them
a very quaint, old fashioned appearance.
The girls are very proud of these same
flapping wide collars, and wrinkle or y
crease would be very distressing.
a" But" said our artist and compagnon
d~ Ooydge, ''you would think these pret-
ty girls had no lovers, for their collars
are never rumpled, and it is generally
conceded that lover in the rural districts
always implies tumbled curls and collars.
How do you s'pose they manage ?"
Do without the lover.h
Not by any means. They just slip
their hands under their collars and turn
them up like hedge about their ears.
The custom has been handed down from
mother TO daughter until the most unso-
phisticated young girl OF l6 knows how
to flip up her collar and keep it smooth as
well as the wisest."
" How did you find this out ?" we in
quired, much impressed with the amount
and character OF his information.
" How did find it out Oh, yes, L
l was told"

OMENs.-Those who do not believe in
omens will enjoy a laugh at the following
story and those who do, had better pass
it by if they fear to have their faith dis
turbed.
An old gentleman whose wife was Ger

THE SEWING MACHINE RAID
Among the raids that are to be made at
the meeting Of the next Congress, is that
Of the sewing machine monopolists, who
will endeavor to secure further exten-
sion Of their patents. The sewing ma
chine companies have already reaped the
benefit OF a long extension OF their mo-
nobody. They have thus been enabled to
to sell their machines at price at least a
hundred per cent. above that at which
the machines could be proftably manu-
iactured and sold. This enormous profit
has been directly from the poorer classes
of the communicable sewing women
and the tailor,s workmen. 1t is time that
the public had the benefit of the sewing
machines.

ADVICE TO A FINISHED'' GIRL.

Gertrude-Yu tell me that yu have
been years at boarding skool, and
hav just finished yure edukashun, and
want to kno what yu shall do next.
Listen, my gushing Gertrude, and 1
will tell yu.
Git up in the morning in good season,
go down into the kitchen, seize potato
by the throat with one hand and knife
with the other, skin the potato, and a
dozen more just like it, stir up the buck
wheat batter, look in the oven and see
how the biskett are doing, hustle around
generally, step on the cats tale, and help
yure good old mother to git breakfast.
After brekfust, put up the yung chill
dren's lunchin for skool, help wash up
the dishes, sweep sum, put things in or
der, and sometime during the day nit at
least two inches and half on some one
of yure brothers little blue woolen stock
irgs for next winter.
In other words, go to work and make
yurself useful, now that yu hav bexum
ornamental, and if yu hav eny time left,
after the beds are all made, and the duks
hav been fed, pitch into the pianna, and
make the old rattlebox skream with mu-
six.
Do this for one year, and sum likely
yung fellow in the naberhood will hear
ov it, and will begin to hang around yu,
and say sweeter things than yu ever
heard before, and finally will give you
chance to keep house on your own hook.
Yu follow my advice, Gerty, and see if
he don't.-JoSh Billings.

A QUEER MIsTAKE.-Although tn,
| first miracle recorded in the New Testa
ment was the converting of water int
wine at marriage ceremony, it is, new
ertheless not always safe to imbibe at
wedding unless you know something o
the vintage. Mistakes will happen a.
was the case not long since with the Rev
DR.. -, of Newburyport, who was sum
moned down from his chamber to marry
couple. The hour was late and the
minister's wife had retired for the night,
and did not rise to witness the ceremony,
but gave her husband particular directions
for the entertainment of the wedding
guests.
Don't forget TO pass the cake and
wine, DOCTOR" said she. 1.-THE cake is
in the corner cupboard and you II find the
wine on the third rght-hand shelf in the
sideboard."
The doctor promised obedience, and,
putting on his garments, went down to
perform the ceremony. When he came
back half an hour later he found his wife
sitting up in bed, with an anxious express
sion on her face.
Doctor" she said, "did you give any
to them ?"
" Certainly, my dear, just as you told
me-"
" Not from the decanter on the third
shelf of the sideboard ?"
THAT is exactly where you directed
me to find it, wife,"
Dear-dear Did they drink much
Of it?"
why, yes they emptied their glass
es."
"What shall we do doctor, made
mistake-it was ipecac wine you gave
them. Oh, how sick they must be ! Do
dear, put on your cloak and go right after
them-they can't have gone far"
The minister found the bridal party at
the corner of the next street.
"What made you drink the wine ?"
he asked. Couldn't you toll by the
taste that there was something wrong
about it ?"
The bridegroom answered between his
qualms
"She whispered to me that it tasted
dretful queer, but told her twas because
we was gittin' married !"

Weaverville, January l6, 1875.

AN UNPLEASANT PREDICAMENT.-
Not long since a Des Moines man while
travelling on business, had occasion to re-
main at town on the b. Il NJ. road
Our traveller arrived about l o'clock at
night. Our traveller found a watchman
alone at the depot and by him was direct
ed to a hotel. He followed the direction,
and in due time found the great house
and entered. He gave several distinct
alarms, but could not make any one hear.
So be started on voyage of discovery to
sec if he could find bed. After running
about while he found door that would
open and entered we'll furnished room in
which was a bed. 1t was ladies' parlor
but that he didn't know, and it had been
engaged for the use of newly married
couple who were at that moment enjoy
ing the cor gratuialloGS OF their friends at
a nuptial party a square away. In3 Des
Moiner was tired and sleepy, and didn't
fool away any time in getting to bed.
He carefully placed all of his clothes un-
der the pillow, slowed his boots and bag
gage under the bed, said his PRAYERS,
bounced in, and in three quarters OF u
minute, was asleep. In due time the
bridal party arrived, and with them the
hotel clerk who had been in attendance at
the festivities. The groom modestly re-
manned in the Office until the new wife
bad retired, merely escorting her to the
door OF thesroom, all unconscious that the
maiden wife entered and commenced to
disrobe. Pins were drawn, strings united
and FUCKERS unraveled and cores cut !;
there was suIglng OF white lace and
tumble Of orange blossoms ; there was Il
Swapping Of stays-and the light was
turned down very low, and the damsel
went to bed. Then she immediately got
out OF bed, and the cattle on the thousand
hills didn't make half as mach noise as
She was making by the time she reached
the floor. She whooped and yelled and
screamed like an eagle, whistled like an
inebriated steam engine, and in the midst
of the din the Des Moines man awoke
and instantly comprehended the situation
and commenced to apologize, but by the
time he reached Madam, it's mis-
take" the door opened and in strobe the
husband aud the clerk, armed with boot
jacks and stove wood. For se next FIVE
minutes the Des Moines man was kept
busy dolging the missiles fired at him 10y
the infatuated pair, and ut every shot the
wife would evoke new series of yelps.-
Finally the representative of the capital
city obtained a hearing long enough to
explain, the husband explained, the clerk
explained, the wife told him to git" "and
held the tongs before her eyes while he
gathered up his wearing apparel and slid
out Of the door, and peace, sweet peace,
came down over all. The clerk gave the
Des Moines man shakedown in another
room, and the play ended.-Iowa Regis
