Jack Stanley iS1Afa trouble again; on
Monday, he came, to County Attorney
Ress and wanted "a warrant issued for
Frank Adams, whom he accused of
"way- laying hipd. and threatning to
take his life, etc. Mr.. Ross told Jack
to go to Justice Keith; Stanley related
his grievances to that dignitary, but it
was no use, Mr.. Keith failed to see any
good reason why he should issue war.
rant, thereby putting the county to
usel less expense, for he conjectured that:
there was not much foundation for the
charges: Stanley was bound to have
Adams arrested anyway, SO he went
before Justice Cline-a newly-Aedged
j. P.-and told his story; Cline issued
warrant, and Sheriff Dickson. arresr.
ed Adams and brough him before the
honorable Justice on Tuesday. Mr..
Newell Ross acted as counsel for Adams,
and advised him to swear the case
away from Cline, which defendant did.
Cline made out the papers for the
of venue, but neglected tb.furn the
prisoner over to the. Sheriff. Justice
Scott Justice had got his stack OF law
books all ready but they say some of
them were hotel day books--and made
every preparation to try the case, but
Adams, acting upon the advice, Of his
counsel, ''lit OUT and then there was
nobody to try. Cline feels pretty cheap
over the manner in which the prisoner
gave ''leg bail. 4 In the first place, so
far as we can learn, there were no
grounds for issuing the warrant. Its
all very well. but these farce trials cost
the county something, when a paper is
put in the hands of the Sheriff BY a
Justice Of !. the b nss,f9 e. It IS the dut, Of
that officer to see that such paper Isl
duly served, and he should have his

needless costs for the county.

question in its political phase. 1t is warn
ing also to the extreme partizan and to the
professional politician whose political Bible
| is the Jacksonian aphorism 'to the victors
belongs che spoils, that the people demand
something above party, something better
than the battle cry Of the Asiatic hordes oil
Turkey. Better than all, it demonstrates
the fact that the South is ready for an hon.
orable reconciliation. The North has always
desired it. Gen. Grant in his famous s'Let
US have peace offered it with soldiers
frankncss, and the men who fought under
him and who voted for him applauded the
offer. 1t was refused. The North has walt
ed patiently, hoping and believing the day
would come when the South would rise out
of its past and again become national.
The Southern people cannot understand
the intensity OF the desire among the people
OF the North who fought and opposed them,
to see the South prosperous and happy and
III accord with Che fundamental principles Of
our free government. No administration at
Washington, however wise, however justand
powerful, could drag the South into reconcil-
iation. Standing armies would be utterly
powcrless to force a genuine peace upon the
Southern people. Bayonets cannot change
mems minds; their peace is the peace OF
Poland or OF the charnel-house. Peace and
reconciliation, alike honorable to the nation
and to the South, reconciliation that shall
blot out all sectional feeling and animosities
of the past, is. and always has been, at the
command of the Southern people. The
''Young South" demands it, has put its hand
to the plough. and will not turn back until
the old sod is turned down.

HOW TO MANAGE HIM.

:
How shall manage my husband ~
81 will tell you my dear, if can;
He is really q wonderful creature.
That troublesome animal-man;
Yes, really a wonderful creature,
Inconsistent and queer;
But you'll soon know the secret by learning
The aaodus operaadi, my dear.
If he stays out too late in the evening,
Partaking of supper and wine,
Don't prove him base fabricator
When he comes by asking the time;
For he surely will tell you the town clock :
But a moment before rang out one
When it struck he counted it over
Just three times before it had done.
And then, if his hat in the morning
rs smaller by far than his head,
Don't hint by lnerest allusion. s..a ess-.s "
That his lordship went tipsy to bed;
But ratherregard the occurrence
A phenomenon puzzling, queer,
With strange look of mystifcation
In your eyes, if he's watching, my dear.
And don't fail to sew on his buttons,
And mend his clothes with care;
Don't tease him for money for shopping;
Don't frown when he aches like bear;
Don't tell him too often. my deary,
That your head is aching with pain,
Lest he whisper way down in his bosom:
''Oh, 1wish was single again!"
Z Don't tell that Mary, the housemaid.
And Ann, the obstreperous cook,
Refuse to receive your suggestions
With even so much as look;
Don't tell him how very annoying
You often have found it to be
To be told to go out of the kitchen,
And don't come botherin' Of mel"
But always seem cheerful and happy,
And always look pleasant and gay,
Than frown there is nothing more potent
r In driving ones husband away.
And t:us you must ever keep striving;
You'll find it an excellent plan;
But whatever you do, dear, remember.
That your husband is only man.

The extreme men of the democratic party
regard any change Of policy by the Repub-
licans as ''crying for quarter" That is,
with the entire government in their control,
except the lower branch of the leyislatiy e
department, they are covering before demo.
cratic buster and begging for mercy. This
is an absurd delusion. Whatever couse may
be adopted in reference to the Southern
States will be from a purpose to do right, re-
CARELESS of parties, or their future. The
Republicans have no fayors to ask. except
what may be justly accorded them, by :eas-
on of the merits Of the administrative policy
that will control during the term of Presi
dent Hayes. A little modesty would be an
improvement to the inflamable partizans
who see in every step towards reconciliation
and quiet weakening of Republicans. The
country has had enough Of Democratic pre-
tense and Standardization. and the less that
is developed hereafter will be the better.

Between thy life and mine
Rugged and strong, resistless barriers rise:
Day after day they show sterner front
Uplifted to the skies,
Shutting me out from thee.
Outlines there comes binding mist and rain,
But through the darkest, thickest cloud know
The sun will shine again.
Between thy life and mine
Sullen and cod the turbid waters roll;
s Beneath their angry waves hopes bark was
wrecked
Long e'er it reached its goal
Yet in the quiet deep
Faith anchor holds fast with its golden chain
Binding two hearts that else would drift away
Upon sea OF pain!
Between thy life and mine
Stretch hes afar a wide and dreary plain,
Across the waste we gaze with longing eyes.
Heart cries to heart-in vain,
Thy echoes answer back
I'm van in vain.' and SO we turn away.
With one long, shiyering sigh OF agony.
y In loneliness to stray.

TIE HOMELY GIRLS STRATEGY. There

it impossible to make herself attractive to

guests arrived, and then hats and coats were

was sgood evening, Miss, 2 and ''how do
you do, Mr.. -?'' for about five minutes,
when the girls sat down, and the handsom-
est was made the centre of all admiring

'sThe weather has been rather nice for a

''Y-e-s-a," replied the fair one, with a
yawn that caused her mouth to open like the
jaws OF Blake crusher. a
The group tried hard to keep her atten-
ton engaged. The most fluent weathentalk-
er of the lot exhausted himself on meteoro-
logical phenomena, but without effect The
chap who had read portion of Daniel De-

yawns of that mouth reminded him that his
conversationalist influence was not felt. The

stool and belabored the piano, while the 9TH

end of the song the beauty was lying back in |
a rocking chair fast asleep. What was the
homely girl doing all this while? She was
making herself as agreeable and sprightly as |
possible. When the other began to snore |
she apoi0gized in a most sisterly way. II |
hope, gentlemen, you won't take offense at |
this. She didit just for a joke. You know |

cultivate the homely one more in the future
than in the past
