Mr.. Harvey, who accused the
Speaker Of the House Of taking a
bride from him and whom The Gold
Hill News assumed to be perfectly
reliable gentleman, has fled the coun-
try. The News may now declare
that the Speaker sent him off; or it
may say that, inasmuch as a disrepu-
table person claimed questionable
business relations with Mr.. Kerr, it
is fair to presume that he kept bad
company; and having kept bad
company, it is fair to presume that he
took bride. This would be reason
ing in q circle, of course. but that
would make little difference to a
paper that looks through none but
administration spectacles, and arrives
ut the same conclusion in all politi-
cal matters, no difference what
kind of premises it has to encounter
TO get there. When a man whddas
nothing Of reputation to lose makes
charge against another Of respecta-
bility and acknowledged worth, it is
best to be slow in pronouncing a
verdict, unless there are strong cor
roborating circumstances. A man of
doubtful integrity recently laid a
grave charge at the doc; of our Mint
in Carson, and, without a speck of
evidence in support of his statement,
s certain newspaper dashed head
long to the conclusion, as The News
did in the case of Kerr. that great
crime had been committed. The
complaining party proved to be
another Harvey, and cleared
out on the eve of an exami-
nation. 1t is said that Harvey
was fearful Of conviction for per-
jury, knowing that what he said was
not true, and having made con-
trary statements. OF course Green
said that he gave Harvey the money
to bay him place in The army, and
he got the place. 1t is just as easy
to believe that Harvey slipped the
money into his pocket and kept it
there, getting the appointment for
which it was paid by other influence,
as to believe that he paid it over to
Kerr. Republican papers that be-
lieve every Democrat thief until he
is proved 10 be honest, and Demo
cratic papers that believe the same of
Republicans, have little or no intlu-
enee with sensible people. Some
papers seem to forget that there are
free schools in this country and tina,
readers are just as apt TO know some
thing as writers. The time has
passed when men follow a blatant
mouthpiece and hurrah at the wave
of hand. There is less occasion for
enthusiasm over Republican princi-
piles and the glories of past schive-
ments than there is for sound sense
and calm consideration OF national
questions. 1t Will bring no good to
the Democratic camp tor the party
papers to denounce night and left
and accuse where there is but shad-
ow Of a cause, merely because it is
one of opposite views who is under
the microscope. We all believe that
the opposition party has hindered its
advancement of late years by jus,
such blind course. The case is
just the same when applied to Re-
publicans- Whenever political capt
tai has to be made at the expense of
honest mems regulations it is time
that the party seeking it should be
bankrupt. Furthermore, paper as
sumes that the people are fools, not
capable of forming opinions for
themselves. when il tries TO stuff
down their throats false delusions
and Falstaffan logic.

MISCELLANY.
N0TABLE EVENTS IN THE HISTORY or
THE DELAWARE RIVER.

Recently the New York Nal published an
article containing recollections Of the olden
times by Admiral Charles Stewart, which
were noted down by gentleman visiting Tie
Gid hero, a short time previous to his death,
at his residence at Burlington, N. J. We Sc
lect the following items which will be of in
terest to our readers
ain 1880 two hundred and fifty head of
cattle were washed off Smiths Island into the
Delaware. In 1890, he said, 81 have seen
just below Trenton, ships loaded with flour
and lumber for the West Indies, now shall
lop cannot get there only on high water. In
the year '96 I was loading vessel in the West
India trade at the wharf in Philadelphia, in
the month of March (early J, and while north
wester set in, which blew for fifteen days,
with so much force that it forced the coast
water off to the Gulf Stream, and drained al
most all the water out of the Delaware, so
that men, women and children, with sacques
and shawls, baskets and bags, walked about
the bottom of the river at Philadelphia, rak-
ing out old ropes, small anchors, purses of mon
ey, watches, and various other articles which
had been lost from vessels and ends of ~harves
That preambulation continued about week,
and there were very few wharves at Phila-
delphia where any vessel would float; my own
vessel was high and dry in the mud, and we
stopped loading for week. The Same thing
occurred II the year 1850, when Benjamin
Cooper, who kept Che ferry at that time at
Camden, walked over from Camden to Smiths
Island on the muddy bottom, and marked on
one of the rocks the precise point of the low
est water, putting on the date Of the year; and
he again went over 10 '06 before named, and
found the same rock and the same mark
There was then four inches lower water than
it had been in 1870, which rock he marked
again that year, March, 1895. This whole
statement may be found in the records of the
Franklin Institute, and in the Philadelphia
papers of March 1906 In the winter of '91,
there was a. brig, think, from Maine to
Philadelphia loaded with peas and beans. She
was cut through with ice; the water got in
and swelled the peas and beans in her and
that was the Foundation of the Peal patch. 1t
was caused by the loss of that vessel in March,
hence the name Pea-patch. The John in the
winter of 9S, was cut through within and
sunk, and that gave the name to the :" Ship
John Shoal.'

A STORY OF EGGs.

A traveller in Sicily paid his bill at an inn,
and found o6t, after he had gone some dis.
lance OIL the road, that he had not been charg-
ed for couple Of hard-boiled eggs. He was
very honest man but he had pressing bust
ness SO, instead of going back to pay then
and there he waited iin he came his rounds
again. This was not till ten years after. No
wonder, therefore, when he asked che inn
keeper 8-Es
"Do you know me ?"
The man said,
"Not /, indeed
"Wel," replied the traveller, ten years
ago ate two hard-b boiled eggs in your house
without paying for them. You didn't put
them down in the bill End was in desper-
ate hurry, and couldn't come back when
found it out. But things have prospered with
me since then and reckon that IL give
you fifty pieces twenty shillings) that will
clearly represent what the price Of eggs has
gained in my lands"
But the landady was a fraud, so he said
Fifty pieces, indeed must trouble you
for deal more than that. Its just the want
of those eggs that has hindered me from
making my fortune" ~
"How so?"
Why they would have turned to hens and
the hens wonld have given me chckens--a
whole poultry yard full. Well, with the poul-
try yard l should have bought some sheep,
and by now should be big flock master. :"
But the traveller could not see things that
way, SO the inn-keeper put him in the court
and the judge pronounced against him.
He appealed, but there didn't seem to be
much chance of his being any better oil, when

touched him on the shoulder and said -
"Leave 1t to me, and I'll get you righted. 4"

pect to do what they failed imp"
"Try me-" said the other and he was SO
urgent that the traveller said |" Yes" just to
get rid of HIM. ss5pRO
The case was called and the inn-keeper's
counsel had made q grand speech, when there
was noise outside, and in rushed Mr.. Brief
