DEMOCRATIC KNAVERY.
A Stupendous Fraud Unearthed at
Philadelphia.

PHILADELPHIA, October 2S.-The
police tonight captured paper for is
suing $4,000 bogus tax receipts in this
city in the hands of two prominent
members of the Democratic party. 1t
seems that a few days age Hon. Chris
tian Kneass, Chairman of the Repub.
lican City Com mittee, to whom the
credit for uRearthing the great fraud
is due, was informed that the Democ-
racy intended to food the city with
bogus tax receipts, but that the great
trouble was to procure paper with the
water.marks personal tax, 1876" on
it. AT last the paper was obtained,
and tonight, while the rank and file
of tie party were giving Gen. McCel-
Ian, of moth powder fame, a reception,
. wagon came out Of Griswold's alley,
near Sixth and Bainbrdge streets, in
the Fourth ward. This was followed
10y Detective Harry Weyle. The car
riage was driven to the headquarters
Of the Democratic State Central Com
mittee, No. 1,014 Walnut street. Here
Henry M1rcus, ex-member of the City
Council from the Fourth ward, alight.
ed. Soon Samuel Josephs, leader of
the Democracy, and candidate for the
Legislature in the Twenty eighth Dis
trict, appeared. In short time Mar
Gus and Josephs appeared, coming
from The headquarters each carrying a
large bundle. The bundles were placed
in the carriage, and Marcus got in.
~Josephs went up Walnut street. De-
-tective Weyle and a couple of officers
followed in another carriage, and on
Locust street, below Tenth, overhauled
the carriage containing the bogus re.
ceipts. The party were driven to Po-
lice Headquarters. where it was found
that it was a great capture, the receipts
haging the required water-mark, and
could not be detected from the genu,
inc. Marcus was given hearing, and
held in $4,000 for violating the election
laws. A warrant was issued for Jo-
sephs, and he will be arrested before
morning. The driver Of the carriage
said the receipts were to be taken tc
the printing house Of Gilleen q Maggie
in Fifth street below Walnut. This
capture prevents the consummation oi
the greatest fraud which had ever been
attempted here, and shows where th
party Of reform Intended to get theil
votes.

The Oil City Derrick says that on
last Thursday afternoon James McMa-
hon, resident of Siverlyville, and an
omploye in the Imperial Refinery, shot
himself accidentally while out hunt
ing. He had fred his gun at blue
jay, and missing the bird, hastily
snatched loaded revolver from his
breast pocket to make sure of his
game. In some manner the pistol
was discharged, probably by the ham,
mer or trigger catching in the lining
of his coat, and the ball entered his
left breast near the region ofthe heart.
He died within an hour. The most
remarkable fact connected with this
melancholy case is the circumstance
that Mcmahon was the fifth man who
has been shot in this locality. Six
years ago David Wingard was killed
not far from the scene Of the late ac-
cident, three years after Jacob Win
gard and Lew Wallace, colored
man, gave up the ghost; last year, the
18th of September, John Wingard was
added to the list of victims, while
Thursday James McMahon ended the
sad catalogue of casualties for the pre-
sent. No wonder the inhabitantes
propose calling that Bloody Run"
and more proper name for that
deadly locality could not be found.

Blind Justice.

During the five years ending Deem
Der, 1875, says the New York Times,
there were 2S1 homicides committed in
the city of New York. Some OF them were
premeditated, many of them were unpro-
voked, and a large majority were utterly
without palliation. Nevertheless, out
of oil this appalling number of man-kill-
ers, the perpetrators who suffered death
were only seren. Only "a were sent to
prison for life; and reviewing this dread
ful list, we discover that more than one
fourth of the criminals were never
brought to trial at all. Some of them
escaped, and were never followed up and
arrested. A few have ended their own
worthless lives after they have committed
crime, and more evaded detection, These
are in hiding to this day. Possibly some
of them, variously disguised, returned to
their old haunts aud live securely, in the
belief that "the thing has blown over"

GOlden-Hued Pictures.

Last week party of six men arrived
at Bismarck, ID. T., from the Black Hills,
and gave glowing reports of the rich
gold discoveries in that region. They
were two weeks in the hills, and found
1,200 miners there, while others are com
ing in at the rate of 70 per day. Three
cities have sprung up-Custer City, four
miles south of Harvey Peak Hill CITY,
nine miles north, and Golden City, eight
miles east of the latter. They report the
richest mines on Bear Butte Creek, and
from that on west, where the party saw
S34 taken out in one pan of dirt, and one
nugget of $40, one of $3.50, and other
small particles. The principal mining
now being done, however, is in Spring
Creek, where the party saw four men
take out $137 in six hours, one day, and
the next day, in the same time, SIP.
They assert that the hills will furnish
good mining for 25, 900 men, and are GER
tain to pay from 81 to $50 per day. The
weather is reported splendid, the streams
being clear # ice, and duck and other
game in proportion.

To Prevent Splitting of Handles.

All carpenters know how soon the butt
ends of chisels split, when daily exposed
to the blows of the mallet or hammer.
A remedy suggested by Brooklyn man
consists simply of saving or cutting off
the round end of the handle, SO as to
make it fiat, and attaching 10y a few
small nails on the top of it two round
disks of sole leather, so that the end be-
comes similar to the heel of boot The
two thicknesses of leather will prevent
all splitting, and if in the course of time
they expand and overlap the wood of the
handle, they are simply trimmed off all
around.

Ono day a Monkey CHANGED TO look
In the clear water OF a brook
Which, ike a mirror, served TO trace
The features of his ugly face.
Astonished at the novel sight,
He cried aloud, "Sure, such fright
ne'er before have CHANGED 20 see
IN all my life. What can IL be?
IL had such foolish look
As this strange monster of tho brook,
although, of course, he's not to blame,
I'd drown myself for very shame:
But, thanks 10 Natures partial grace,
I've got different sort of face"
Just AZ the incident occurred,
A Bear was passing by and heard
1he Monkeys prattle-eyery word.
"Comql" said the latter, who espied
His clumsy neighbor at his side,
4" This way moment-just look here;
And see brute 40 very queer
YOu1l laugh yourself 20 death-at least,
Incyer saw go strange a beast !"
The Bear replied: "Pray, look again;
'Tis your own image, full and plain,
That Rcarcs YOU so the ears alone
Would make the picture surely known
As yours, beyond the least dispute;
It's clearly no outlandisb brute,
But your own portrait, full and plain,
IN every part pray leok again "
In anger now the Monkey spoke:
''Of course Bear must have his joke
But, pray, he honest and admit,
Though it may hurt your pride bit)
The image in the water there
Is yours; it is not mine, l swear"

A HorrEsTor FABLE


A chicken, wandering far and WIDE
Soon saw jsckal at its side;
And though, for safety, help was soug lat,
The silly saunterer was caught.
Then said the chicken 10 the beast
"Prayer always comes before a feast;
The white man doth some grace repeat
Before each meal-or will not eat"
az should not. friend, object 10 pray
II knew how. Show me the way
The chicken said Now, understand
When you begin, fold hand with hand"
The jackal followed out with care
The brief advice, and offered prayer
Then spoke his guide: "Your words are rig ht
But prayers of faith, and not OF sight;
We low our heads unto the ground,
Nor look above, nor gaze around;
And so, II you are good and wise,
You'll pray once more and close your eyes"
So doing as his prompter babe,
The jackal shut his eyes and prayed;
But, long before be ceased 20 pray
Chicken and dinner flew away.
