A Remarkable Trial.

A millworker has been convicted OF
whistling al the Provost OF Musselburgh.
The name of the miscreant is McWatt
and fun details of the lamentable affair
We're given by the Provost at the Mussel'
burgh Police Court last week, when Nc
Watt was charged before the bailies on the
bench with tile offense he had committed.
it seems that on the evening of the Sth
inst. the Provost was passing along the
street near the station bridge at Mussel-
burgh, when he met McWatt and his COM
panian, both commenced loud whist

the spot. and the Provost, with all the

Will il be believed that later in the day
McWatt, on meeting the Provost, repeated
the offense? On this second occasion the
Provost met McWatt face to face on the
outskirts Of a crowd returning from some
races. McWatt twas whistliDg at the pitch

An Honest Pork Man.

In a little underground room. near
Blocker Street, half mile west of Broad
way, is the well-known pork establish
ment of Tileson, the Quaker. He has been
forty years in that one place, and all the
while dealing in one article-pork, corn
fed. His specialties are sausages and
miniature chop steaks. When he does not
receive the article he wants ne will not buy
any thing.
Often when his customers call for goods
he has none. 1t is considered great favor
to get his chops and things. He divides
what he makes among his customers. The
aristocracy of New York and all up and
down the river patronize him. 1t is no
uncommon thing to see the coaches of As
tor, Livingstone, Taylor, and other
wealthy people. in front of the old
Quaker's door. The room is without Orna-
ment, and almost without furniture, but
it is spink-spank clean, and one could eat
off the floor. The old Quaker does all his
work himself-will trust nobody, and has
amassed fortune.-Net' York Correspond

Arranging Flowers Artistically.

Where tulips, hyacinths or crocus are
planted in quantities it is good plan to
have some regard for color in their ar
rangement. A small round bed of crocus,
for instance, might have the purple variety
in the center, the yellow round That; next
place the striped kind, and finally the
white: or this order may be reversed with
equally good effect. The same arrange
ment might be observed i'm border planting
by having the colors in separate rows.
Commence the first TO " BY planting about
two feet of white croeus, followed with
two feet of purple. then two feet more of
yellow, and finally two feet of The striped
variety now plant the second row. be-
ginning with purple. then yellow, striped
and white; the third commencing with
yellow, and the fourth with striped crocus.
Such bed is very handsome indeed. OF
course other devices may be followed, such
as stars. crowns and the like, not only
with crocus, but also with tulips and hya-
cinths.

"FoR the last two years 1t has been impos-
sible to tell Republican from a Democrat,
except by the party uniform. Their opinions
have Appropriated so that they could be shut
fed together like the cards of two different
packs which would be indistinguishable but

the confusion has struck in, and both the old

NeD York Graphic.
No doubt the Graphic is right as regards
the city of New York, and perhaps the en-
tire State, because, in common more or less
with the people of the entire North, New
Workers are pulled up with ain-glorious
opinion that they settled the great questions
which really still divide the two parties
mentioned by whipping the Southern rebels
ten years ago. But where this laundering
and criminslly blind self-conceit does not
obscure the public consideration of the
transactions of those ten years, different
condition of affairs exists. In the South,
for example, Republicanism and Democ-
racy are terms which find synonyms in the
words loyalty and disloyalty. There can
be no confusion ''struck in" in that section,
for parry lines there are drawn as distinctly
rs they were when the present covert Sc
cessicn of the Southern Democracy existed
as overt treason. One of these days the
stupid, arrogant and selfconceited North
will wake up to a full realization of this
fact, and find out that every principle for
which the Northern people fought during
the war has been sacrificed before the
gradual entertainments of the Southern
Democrats. In short, disloyalty is rapidly
undermining the structure established by
loyalty, while the selfsuficient builders of
that structure slumber quietly and in COM

IT is BELIEVED that the Government
Will, as soon as practicable, investigate the
case of Professor Marsh respecting his rela-
tons with the halfb breed, Louis Richard.
The probabilities are that one or more in
dictments will be entered against him.
There is one in particular, where the proof
already secured is conclusive against the
Professor, and is undoubtedly of sufficient
weight to convict. The scientific gentle
man already feels the poignant truth of this
fact He felt it at the moment the half
breed was imbibing the poisonous draughts
at his festal board. He felt it when he in
weighed him into affixing his name, while
under the influence of liquor, to the aft
davit. He felt it during every hour of the
long months he was engaged in connecting
his schemes not only to injure the reputa-
ton of the Indian bureau, but to mar the
magnificent system of treatment which has
been the pride of every humane and philan-
thropic heart. He felt it when he, with
an anxious face and earnest voice, begged
the gentlemen of the commission that the
records relating to the crime be destroyed.
He felt it when he exclaimed, in conversa-
ton yesterday, that he would give twenty
"fve thousand dollars if he had never seen
can Indian" He feels it every hour of the
day, when conscience. that eternal monitor
and silent counsellor, aggravates him with
its never-ceasing promptings to undo the
great wrong he has done, and he will con-
tinue to feel it until the law, that safeguard
of society and peace, has been thoroughly
administered in his case and justice has
been amply satisfied, and then he will feel
it as other criminals are compelled to feel
tin the light of the sentenced convict.

THE ARREST and Incarceration of ex-
Assistant District Attorney Fisher will
prove to be most fortunate and needed
warning to the class of young lawyers in
the District who regardless of party pre-
elections, have been taught by the Detec-
live press that dishonest customs generally
prevail and are winked at by the Govern
nent authorities, and who have, therefore,
bought opportunities to benefit themselves
1T the expense of the public and their own
personal characters. No one who IS &C
quainted with the circumstances precedent
to this arrest will free District Attorney
Fisher, the father of the unfortunate young
man, from all blame in the matter; but q
generous public will yield to him the recog-
milton that is due to his undoubted personal
honor and;integrity, while it will hold him
responsible for having reposed too much
confidence in that of his hayward son. In
fact, the public estimate of this affair is
that Judge Fisher has suffered under cir
cumstances which entitle him to sympathy,
because he has beeI betrayed by member
of his own family, but which could not
have existed if he had not yielded indis-
creetly to the promptings of an indulgent
and forgiving disposition towards one who
was unworthy of such kindness. Of
course, the Opposition has not failed to
make the most of the affair, and every
man, woman and child in the District who
is supposed to have even the remotest
sympathy for the Government under which
Judge Fisher served is accused of compile
ity in it

incidents in his past record, he should be
treated differently than any other pro-sla-
very, State Rights Democrat. The war is
over, and he n entitled to as fair treatment
as any of his kidney who have been for
given for the criminal opinions they enter
tanned during Its progress. At any rate
this appears to US to be consistent and
logical deduction from the Times position
regarding the Democrats in the Southern
States. By all means, let Pershing, Piol-
let, and the Copperheads in Pennsylvania
have their own way, or be decent enough
to aid the true Republicans of the country
