MONDAY Observation-Disclosures q Is

THEDEATH of Senator o. S. Ferry, of
Connecticut, which is announced in our
obituary column, is an event not entirely
unexpected. 1t creates a vacancy in the
Republican ranks which will, no doubt, be
filed by gubernatorial appointment By
Democrat until the meeting of the Legisla-
ture which will be elected in April next.

THE average American juryman not ouly
forgets the law, but often the facts in max
ing up his verdict. This was clearly de-
monstrated In the Frawner jury, which
was discharged yesterday without ver-
dict. To the one man who held out against
the eleven is due a need of praise. He
evidently and rightly thinks that because
Frawner's wife is an adulteress the ac-
cused has no right to become murderer.

The New York World is too funny. It has
been doing some of the cutest things Of late
ever found in the annals of journalism. After
turning several handsprings over the election
results it becomes composed, and, settling back
in its editorial chair, quietly proceeds to charge
Louis Jennings with the novel crime of hav-
ing boiled and eaten his aged mother. Isn't
this something to reflect upon, reader-some-
thing grave, awful, calsmitousl Think of it.
Eating mother, boiled mother; and, worse
than that, an aged, boiled mother. There are
few, a very few, we have q mind to say, not
over ten or fifteen thousand, who will be credu-
lous enough to believe this startling and really
unfortunate revelation. Although capable of
many and marvellous and peculiar things we
are not in such q state of mind as to believe
that Louis Jennings would, even under the
most trying circumstances, actually boil and
consume his aged mother, and at the same
time continue producing those absolutely funny
editorials on Glove at Home" and "Filial
Affection" He may have, as he says the World
charges, murdered in cold blood his boy, that
pretty, curly-headed boy, and unkindly buried
him in the dark and mouldy recesses Of the
cellar. He may, in moment Of absentminded-
ness, or one following term of fasting, have
seized q young and tender servant and forcibly
crammed her into boiling caldron and stirred
her with poker, and then satiated the pangs
of hunger upon the tidbits which it seems to
be within the province of a young and tender
servant to supply. He may, not being
naturaleyezed, have mistaken some near
and dear relative for a pigs til
and roasted her to state Of
tempting browness, and then deVoured the
roast without noticing anything peculiar or
anything different between the flavor of Mary
and a pigs tail. He may have done even
more humorous things than these, still we
cannot believe under any circumstances what
eyerthat Louis Jennings. being in his right mind
and with the grave responsibilities of metro
polftan daily bearing burdensomely upon his
shoulders, or anywhere else If you please,
could have sat resignedly down at his own
breakfast table, and, with that rare relish
which an Englishman always takes his morn
ing repast, eaten the whole Of his aged mother
boiled. Not fried, be pleased to take notice,
nor baked, nor raw, nor stewed, nor steamed,
nor fricaseed; but ate her whole in all the SIM
plicity Of plain unornamented boil In this
connection be kind enough to remember that
he ate her whole. The World said so, but

The Chicago Times thus charaeterizes the
average Democrat: CHE is politically the stu
pldest thing on the planet, and must conform
to the requirements Of his stupidity. Incapa-
bic of bringing himself forward to the living
present, he will continue to vote for the dead
and buried Democratic party, and to expect
the mountain to open and release from his
sepulchre of ages the rock-rooted Democratic
Barbarossa." We are astonished to learn that
the Times man knows himself so completely.
Yesterdays ForReys Chronicle says that the
"Editorisl Afterthought man" of this paper
"is engaged IN writing humorous American
drama for Mr.. John E. Owens, the comedian.
One Of the acts-the first one-will be laid out
on the frontier, among big Indians and hunters.
The second and third acts are to be located in
Washington, and will show up some of the
eccentricities of beats, 'claim agents and lob
byists hereabouts." We beg leave to differ
with the Chronicle man. He is mistaken in
regard to the plot of the drama. Fortunately
we have not been compelled to resort to the
wild frontier in order to secure our characters
for this play. Notrue American will go abroad
in search of wonders before he has, in meas
ure, exhausted the catalogue at home. We
shall go to New Ysrk for our principal charac-
tiers, the main one of which will be Louis Jen-
nings. The World recently made the start
ling revelation that he has boiled and eaten his
aged mother, and any man who can success
fully boil and devour his poor old mother when
the choicest of viands only cost twenty-five
cents pound, is most desirable subject for
the hero of humorous play. 1t will be
some time before the drama will be completed,
owing to the fact that the Board of Missions,
which recently announced its intention of send
ing missionaries to the offices of the Great
Dailies Of New York, has been tardy in the exc
cution of its benevolent designs. Just as soon
as Mr.. Jennings has been able to put himself
on the outside of four or five of these fat and
tender missionaries we will have material for
the grand closing scene of the drama in which
we expect to present the great " unnatural
lied in the act of swallowing live mission
ary with spurs on and bundle of tracts under
each arm. The spurs will be arranged so as
to be easily detached in case Mr.. Jennings
proves unequal to the emergency. We have
every confidence in his capacity, however; and
this is simply done to allay any unnecessary
alarm on the part of sympathizing audience.
We cannot see at present why play of this
character should not succeed. We may be
able to see it, however, by the time 1t has been
presented once or twice to the public for its
approval or dis

cots memorial. showing the cause Of his action:
That BY the second secon OF said set of 1872
further enacted THAT In each State entitled under this
law to than one representative, the number to
which said state may be entitled in the &Llld and each

head were given their interests While at his resi-
dence one evening I'm remarked that each one OF
