being demoralizsd great deal Of unnecessary
firing was done on Baltimore street, especially
west of Gay st. The responsibility for the

rioters who attacked the soldiers. We are
further of the opinioo that the authorities after

sounding the military call, should have had a

Most Of the prominent conservative cands-
dates for the gubernatorial domination either
deplorc or abuse the funding bill of 1871, but
none of them 50 far as we have observed, have
stated the reasons for that grief or denuncla'
ton. The bill honoraby relieved the State ct
exactly one third of its just Indebtedness, and
why that should be the occasion of grief or abuse
we capnot we'll understand. 1t strikes US that

and those who enacted it denounced.

Virginia, according to the federal idea of the

that the proper disposition Of tho money in

where it could do more good than 10 that same

A STRIKE IN LoUDoUN.-A gentleman
living few miles from Leesburg made prapa-
ratioDs last week to thresh his crop of wheat.
The thresher had been put in position at bis
stack. yard; the workmen, previously engaged
had assembled, and all things were 10 readiness
to proceed with the work. But just then the
hands employed deemed it an opportuue mo-
ment to strike for higher wages, aud they
struck, refusing to turn wheel unless their
demand was complied with. But the demand
didn't pay worth cent. The proprietor re.
fused to comply, and made the situation known
to his neighbors, who, nobly asserting their iC-
dependence, went themselves to the rescue,
took the places abandoned by the laborers,
threshed out that crop, and are now 10 turn
doing the same thing for each other. 1t is to
be hoped that the lesson will have good ef-
feet on the strikers" and deter others from
following their bad example.-LeesJurg 1Ulr.

didn't fear the soldiers they heard were

Tor big money-soldiers for few dollars
per month; there were fourteen of them,
and In fight any one of them would take
his chances with the fourteen rather than
with the soldiers. They didn't want to
disturb the mails, as it was against the
law. All they wanted was gold dust and
currency. Drafts, etc., they would put
back In the boxes, and leave them in the
Rad where the next up.coach could get
them and take them back tc Deadwood.
The proposition had been made to 70
through the pockets of the passengers
while the box was being forced off, but
the Captain said, mo. not now" In
tho meantime, one of the gang asked par
ticularly whether Mrs. Tom was on
board; also If DR.. Edwards was one of
the passengers. After the box was taken
oil one OF the men who had been watching
the road back of the coach came up, and
said, /" Now, let's rob the women" The
Captain emphatically said 8" No" to that
proposition, and told the driver to drive
on. As he did 80, he said, "Our gang
has divided up. There are two gangs
further down. Three miles from here
you may meet the second detachment. If
not, eight miles below you will probably
meet the third gang. If you (addressing
the driver) drive slow, and have no one
outside with you. you may pass them all,
as they may see that we have obtained the
treasure box" So we drove on, and were
not further molested that night.

in fact he was suffering from bronchitis
in chronic form. On the trial before
Judge Van Brunt, in the Supreme Court,
special term, two physicians who exam
ined Mansbach in 1873 testified that in
their opinion the disease was chronic
three years before. Judge Van Brunt,
while regarding it as doubtful whether any
physician could predicate the condition of
any person at given time from an exam
ination made two years afterward, says
the examination in this case was so cur
sorry and superficial that its result could
not be followed AZ against the examina-
ton of physician made at the time of
the insurance was effected and Mansbach' 3
positive denial that he was afflicted as
charged. He holds further that the plain
tiff has an interest sufficient to maintain
the action, and that, after the company's
refusal TO receive the premium, it was not
necessary to make further tender. He
therefore gives judgment for the plaintiff
that the company receive the premiums
and restore the pOlicy.-N. Y. World.

A London Female Detective.

A WOMAN recently died In London
whose career furnishes incidents enough
for half . dozen sensation novels. For
several years she served the authorities OF
Scotland Yard - . detective. Placing
herself in relation with the parish doctor,
she volunteered to nurse those families
whose honesty was suspected by the au-
thorities. Az . nurse abe disarmed ali
suspicion, and did not fail to take careful
note of all she heard. But little restraint
was observed in her presence, and her re-
ports forwarded to Scotland Yard were
thus rendered all the more valuable.
While engaged in Der duties, she ex.
tracted from her half-unconscious and de-
bilitated fever patients the confession of
some dark deed, and hints as to the wherc-
abouts of confederates in crime. Such
was the general plan of action observed
by this extraordinary woman; but this
was rather slow process, and at times it
was necessary to fall at once upon the
wrong. dOer. On one occasion, for in.
stance, the police received information
that there was gang of false money
makers in q certain street, but notwith.
standing every effort, they were unable to
ascertain in which house the coiners
worked. The services of the female de-
tectlve were therefore called Tor, and she
was dispatched to the street In question to
see what could be done. Feigning violent
illness, she persuaded child who issued
from one of the suspected houses to take
her In doors for . moment. The sudden
entrance thus obtained enabled the de-
tective to hear the metallic sounds pro-
ceeding from the coiners' workshop be.
fore the latter were aware that any stranger
was in the house. But they soon dis
covered their danger, and the chief of the
gang in his fury hurled a ladle full of
molten lead at her head. Fortunately the
poke. bonnet that she wore saved her life /:
the burns received were not fatal, though
they destroyed her hair and its roots. TIE
police arrived In time, on hearing the
alarm. to arrest eighteen coiners. After
this she disguised herself as boy, and
penetrated many thieves den. On one
occasion she was discovered, and struck
down with q blow which fractured her
skull before the police arrived to her aid.
Death has at last subdued this turbulent
spirit, and London thieves need no longer
fear the visit of the female detective.

BY All Means, Be an Editor.

An editor is the happiest being on
earth. He has little or nothing to do, and
his pay is all that heart could wish. His
sanctssne, with its Persian rugs and Turkey
carpets, its costly rosewood furniture, it's
magnificent mirrors, its beautiful pict.
ures, its complete library of splendidly-
bound books, its buffet stocked with the
finest of wines, liquors and cigars. which
cost him but puff or two, its silver bell
to summon an attendant whenever q iulep
or cocktail is wanted, and, in short, with
its everything that human ingenuity can
devise for his comfort and pleasure, is q
perfect little paradise, where he sits or
lounges and reigns young lord, with the
world of fashion and pleasure at his feet.
And then anybody can be an editor-no
study, no preparation, no brains-nothing
but little money to start with, and once
started the money pours in upon you in q
steady stream, and the chief labor of your
life is to spend it. Az for the labor of
editing newspaper. that is mere moon
shine. A mere glance at the columns of
q newspaper is enough to convince you
that 1t requires no labor to edit it, and less
brains. 1t is certainly glorious life,
that of an editor; life of luxurious ease
and Of elegant leisure-a life for the gods,
filled. like that of the young lover in his
first sweet dreams of requited love, with
flutes and rOse.leaves and moonbeams,
while NJ . wave Of trouble rolls
Across his peaceful breast;'
and that all men are not editors is one of
the strangest things beneath the stars
True, there must be doctors and lawyers
and merchants and shoemakers and pea
nut dealers and the like, and all these call.
ings must b filled by somebody; but there
are enough to fill them, and why they
don't become editors and lead the life Of
opulent princes is thing thatstaggers us.
But, after all, it may be that it is mere
matter of taste. 1t may be repugnant to
some natures to be clothed in purple and
fine linen and fare sumptuously every
day, and of course it would never do for
such nature to become an editor; the life
of ease and elegance and luxury, and ex.
empti0n from all care and toll and debts
and duns, would soon become q bore to
him, and he would spend his nights in
dreaming of plows and pitchtorks and
reaping machines, and squander his days
in devising some plan for swapping places
with blacksmith's apprentice or street.
