A Want Supplied.

The American mind is active. 1t has given
us books of fiction for the sentimen.alst
learned books for the scholar and professional
student, but few books for the people A
book for the people must relate to a subject of
universal interest. Such q subject is the
physical man, and such book "The Peoples
Common Sense Medical Adviser" copy Of
which has been recently laid on our table.
The high professional attainments of it's
author-Dr. r. V. Pierce, of Buffalo, n. Y
and the advantages derived by him from an
extensive practice, would alone insure for his
work cordial reception. But these are not
the merits for which it claims our attention.
The author is a man Of the people. He sympa-
thizes with them in all their affections, efforts
and attainments. He perceives their want-a
knowledge of themselves-and believing that
all truth should be made as universal as Gods
own sunlight, from his fund of learning and
| experience he has produced a work in which
he gives them the benefits of his labors In il
he considers man in every phase Of his exist

The safe was open in five minutes.

Not Very COnsOling.

Says an exchange: It is a very
slight consolation to the family and
friends of the man shot down in the
streets of Brooklyn to be told that the
murderers had mistaken their man.
The hapless victim was going about his
business, in the early dawn, when he
was assaulted by bandits, who, after
shooting him, demanded money, and
then suddenly discovering that he was
not the person whom they had expected,
ran away in confusion at their error. If
they had stopped and begged his pardon
for their blunder, it would have been
quite in keeping with the nonchalance
with which another murderer lately shot
hotel guest, an entire stranger to him,
because he wouldn't have any man
looking ct him in that way"

Tender Hearted Villains.

In an article on what it terms tender
hearted villains the writer says:
Wainwright, who killed his mistress
in London because he was too kind
hearted to quarrel with her, was report
ed by all who had any business relations
with him, to be one of the gentlest and
most considerate of men.
And now comes German correspon-
dent of the London Daily Ne,OS, and
tells us that Thomas, the unspeakable
villain of the Bremerhaven dynamite
plot, was tenderly attached to his chill
dren," &C. lived very happy with his
wife, was man of "stately and noble
presence" and quite a favorite with
the American society in Dresden ! In
short, it appears that he might have
sat for the original of Lord Byron's
Mildest-mannered man
That ever scuttled ship or cut throat
1t is staggering to think Of such a
man as this deliberately planning for
hundreds Of his fellow-creatures the
most awful and appalling of deaths amid
the welter and rageof theAtlantic waves,
simply to keep himself and his family in
ease and comfort, and obviously without
any touch of the intense malignity which
the popular imagination supplies as an
essential quality in the n oral constitu-
tion of exceptional criminals. And yet
all history bears out the theory that men
completely destitute of the moral sense
are quite as likely to be good natured as
ill-natured in their personal relations
with those about them.

Party Positions.

There were few journals Of independent
professions in the campaign which ended
last week which seemed TO think that the
only way to beindependent was to mount the
house-top and throw cabbages at both par
ties, selecting always the most unsayory veg
etables for the particular candidate they
protested 10 favor. About once month
they would say On the whole our pref
erences are for Hayes" aud during the rest
of the time they worked for 1'ilden. lar
per's Weekly gives this just estimate of the
efforts Of these journals " During the cam
paign that has just ended there were some
newspapers which seemed to consider them
selves independent because under a Ian
guild preference for Governor Hayes they
sedulousy promoted the election Of Gov
ernor Tiden. Their sneers and ridcule,
their 'nagging and inuendo, were all Law
ished upon the Republicans aud by every
kind of indirection they served the cause Of
reaction, Of imitation, and Of hopeless degra-
dation of administrative methods thou
sand-iold more effectively than II they had
been frank and declared democratic organs.
1t seems to us not only unpatriotic, but dis
honorable, to take party position in a con-
test of the kind just closed and to maintain
it in way which confounds every honest
supporter Of the party, and encourages and
delights its opponents. We know that we
speak the feeling Of the best Republicans
everywhere in saying that no such damage
was done to their cause during the campaign
as by the papers which declared FOR Hayes
and then uniformly instilled into the mind
of those favorable to him the profoundes
distrust Of the Republican party

Remarkable Phenomenon.


In this village at two O'Clock, p. NJ, yesterday
friday those individuals who turned their eyos
towards the zenith saw what they re,er saw be-
fore, and probably will never see again That
was brilliant rainbow upon the clear blue OF
heaven, without the least indication NJ cloud, mist
or rain This remarkable bow formed half a
circle, the outside curve toward the sun, having
diameter Of about twenty-five degrees the center
Of the circle would he the zenith About half
way from this circle TO the sun was an outside
bow, dim, but fully distinguishahle, not re-
Election, but a primary bow, like the other, while
at about thirty degrees right and left of the sun
were parhelias, or sun-dogs. There was slight
haze at the far north and sprays Of cirrus towards
the face Of the sun, but the brilliant bow was upon
as clear and blue a sky as we ever saw. Daring
the next fifteen minutes now and then slight
clouds would form and be dissipated, while the
bow gradually faded. One-half hour later the
sky was cloudless and but faint traces Of the
bow could be seen. While circles about the sun
and moon known rs halos, are often seen, and
sun-dogs, or parhclias often very brilliant are
common, the present described phenomenon, rs far
as know, has never been witnessed, and the
nearest approach to it, as find by records, at
October lth iSn. In both instances the sky was
somewhat hazy, and the parhelia more brilliant,
with full halo, the bow being faint and obscure.
In this case the halo was wanting, the parheIia
obscure but the bow very brilliant, near the
zenith, while the bow near the sun was somewhat
faint and not 80 long continued, but with the out
side curve Of both towards the sun.
Many questions were asked about the cause oil

given; among which a sturdy democrat said 1t

The Case Of ElectOr SOllacp.


Mr.. Henry y. Sollace, Of Bridport, post
master and unthnking Republican, who
suffered himself to be voted for as one Of
the Presidential Electors Of Vermont. when
he was clearly ineligible according to the
spirit of the constitution Of his country,
has made himself famous for the past week,
but happily no serious results will grow out
Of his hlunder, and the five votes Of Yer
mont will be cast for Hayes and Wheeler.
pom learning the fact that Mr. Sollace
was a postmaster the Attorney-General at
once communicated with District Attorney
Ffeld for all information concerning the
state laws in relation to filling vacancies in
the Electoral College. Consultations among
leading Republican lawyers Of the state
We're at once held, aud it was decided to
"hcal Mr.. Sollace's case by the enactment
OF a law, as provided by the bill introduced
10y Mr.. Woodbridge, TO be found in the
House proceedings Of Friday last.
The Acknowledgement has also submitted
to the President an elaborate opinion IN the
case Of Mr.. Sollace, citing all precedents
bearing on it, The conclusion is that the
democratic elector who has the next highest
vote cInnot be counted in, and that the
present vacancy is legal and can be filed by
the remaining Republican electors acting
under state laws. The argument OF the
opinion is that native born citizen of the
United States is eligible to any office, that
the popular vote is merely am expression Of
the will Of the people and that the elector is
not in fact elected or appointed until he has
received his formal notification from the
! Governor, and his commission. 1t is the APP
| pointment or commission and not the cleo
| ton that creates an elector. II at the time
the popular will is expressed he holds an
office antagonistic to the one to which he
aspires to be elected. he must resign the one
he holds before he accepts the new one.
/ The eases Of the election OF General Schenck
and of General Frank Blair to Congress are
cited as prominent precedents. The action
Of Congress in the case of Schenck showed
that an election did not of itself constitute
Schenck member Of Congress, but it was
the act of qualifying that did. Schenck
qualified and was admitted. Blair failed to
qualify under the rules of the House, and
was refused a seat
The upshot Of the matter is that Mr.. Sol
lace was declared elected by the county
clerks, at their meeting at the Capitol, yes
terday Tuesday, but will not be present al
the assembling OF the electoral college next
month when that body will proceed to fiji
