KNOWING HORSES:

A few mornings since the milk
wagon of Mr.. s. VIM. Cox, near
Rbosedale, was harnessed and
brought to the door ready to go to
the railway station. Mr.. Cox went
into the house for a few minutes,
leavlnging "Bob" unhitched as was
the usual custom. Bob waited for
some time when, probably fearing
that the milk would be too late for the
train, he trotted off. When the own
er came out the team was gone and
he started for the station on foot.
Arriving there he found that Bob had
made the trip in good order, and had
backed up to the platform where he
was patiently waiting for the wagon
to be unloaded.
This animal was not more knowing
than one owned by a friend of ours
near Marshallton. Last winter his
little son attended school a mile
away. In the morning he rode a
favorite horse to the school where on
being turned loose he trotted home
In the evenings he was again turned
loose. and proceeding to the school
he awaited the appearance OF his
young master to be ridden home
again.-Kennd .Aduance.

A LESSON ON THE MUTABILITY OF

A LESSON ON THE MUTABILITY OF
HUMAN GREATNEss.-About three
weeks ago the Compte de Lally-Toll-
endal was found dead in London
coal cellar. His great grandfather
was one of the Irish gentlemen who
accompanied James IL. into exile,
and he became one of the most for
antagonists in the East that
England had ever known. He was
executed by the government of
France, but after his death his sou
obtained, with Voltaire's assistance,
the reversal of the sentence, and there
fore the removal of the taint from the
family name. The grandfather of
this aristocratic pauper, who died be-
cause he was too proud to ask for
bread, was one of the representatives, of
the mobiles in the States-General,
where he took his place among the
liberal supporters of a constitutional
monarchy, and was favored by the
third estate for the sake of the suf-
ferings of his family.

THE WHITE HOUSE.

The White House and its inmates
are exceedingly popular. There is
refreshing absence Of pretension and
formality. The president and his
wife have courteuos, cordial man
ners, which spring from kindness of
heart. They are quick and ready in
conversation, SO that there are no
awkward pauses. They are not
afraid to converse freely and do not
appear to put any restraint upon
their utterances, as though they fear
ed Misrepresentation. This, too, is
contrast to the last regime.
Two winters ago young man
called at the White House one even
ing. Sending in his card, and writ
ing upon it that he was classmate
of Ulysses Grant, Jr., and had call
ed at his request, Mrs. Grant direct
ed the usher to show him in. When
the young man obeyed the summons
he found himself in a brilliantly
lighted drawing-room filed with
guests. He felt much embarrass-
ment, as he was total stranger, and
he saw no hostess to welcome him-
After an awkward pause he singled
out Mrs. Grant, as she was the only
lady present without a hat. He was
shaken by the hand, and no remark
made. His embarrassment was dis
tressing, and lady near by so pitied
him that, without an introduction,
she invited him to take seat beside
her.
She made inquiries about his col
lege life and friends, and soon sue
ceeded in restoring his self-possession.
When the lady rose to leave the
young man also made his adieu. AS
soon as they got beyond the thres-
hold the gentleman drew a free
breath and exclaimed elf the Lord
will forgive me for this l will never
do so again" Should he or any
other young man make similar call
now he would be received by rad
liant smile and a motherly interest
that would win his heart and cause
him to swear that Mrs. Hayes is the
best, handsomest and sweetest wo-
man ID the world.

Interests tOeu Represented.
NEW CASTLE, Nov. 10th, 1877.
The November term of Court, Of Oyer
and Terminer, opened here this morning
The weather is fne and the attendance
large. Owing to the large amount OF
preliminary business the court did not
get under way until after eleven o'clock
judges Comegys, Wales and Houston
on Il e bench.
The members of the Grand Jury were
all present and answered to their names,
and were duly sworn and empanelled.
Before retiring the Court called the at
tention of the Grand Jury to the illegal
sale of intoxicating liquors, and for their
benefit read the section of law upon the
subject, and said that the tavern keepers
should be impressed with the true spirit
of this law, They are only licensed to
sell intoxicating liquors to be sold on the
premises, and cannot sell liquor to be
carried out in a bottle or any like vessel;
and said that the best manner to impress
this upon their minds was to indict them.
The Petit Jury answered to their
names. They were sworn in and en-
panelled.

SOMETHING FOR POULTRY
MEN.

Poultry, it is stated, cannot be
kept in large numbers in confined
areas without detriment to their con-
stitution. Colonel Taggart, of North
cumberland, Pa, provides food and
exercise for fowls at the same time.
In his poultry yards are several beds
about thirty feet square each, in
which the colonel buries oats.
several bushels to the bed, The
grains begin of course at once 70
swell ane germinate, and the fowls
have free access scratching and eat
ing the tender sprouts to their hearts
content. While the fowls are thus
busy on one bed, a new one is pre-
pared, which is in readiness for
them by the time it is required.
The idea is good one.

A JUDGE DISMISSED.

BALTIMORE, Nov. 1.-THE case
of the police authorities against JUS
tice Graft, of the Middle District Sta
ton, which has undergone searching
investigation before Governor Car
roll, has been decided by an official
publication of the Executive annouH-
cling Crafts dismissed. The proceed
ings, being the first of the kind, have
excited very general interest. CRAFTS
integrity was not questioned, but his
Interpretation of the code enabled
many persons to escape whom the Po-
lice Board contended should have
been imprisoned. Some of the cases
dismissed under legal technicalities
by this Justice were afterwafd sent
before the Grand Jury, and resulted
in the conviction and sentence of the
parties. In the investigation Cover
nor Carroll sat as Judge and jury,
and heard vast amount of testimony
and elaborate, arguments of counsel
including a defence of Crafts course
by the Hon. Richard T. Merrick,
who was associated with Senator Will
liam Pinckney Whyte, The Cover
nor's principal cause for removal
seems to be the Interpretation placed
upon the law by the justice, in which
he assumed that the code did not pre-
scribe any penalty for insulting con-
duct on the public streets toward la
dies. There was also, the Governor
thought, a lack of that harmony and
cooperation between the police au-
| thorities and the Justice, which alone
bould aid in suppressing crime and
furnishing criminals. In closing the
Governor says: Theory of Justice
Graf that indecent and abusive Ian
guage can be used in the public
street with impunity, that ladies car
be grossly insulted and officers de-
nounced in the vilest terms in tn,
| performance of their duty, that younl
girls may be assaulted at their door
and the offenders committed fo
drunkenness only, is, to say the least
a very dangerous doctrine,and if acte'
upon by the other justices woul'
cause our streets to be stunned b,
many respectable people. And ye
the most fragrant cases of this natur
were clearly shown, where the par
ties were dismissed and the authorit
of the officers brought into contempt

and my cough continued with me all

and my friends, considering my case hope
less, gave me up as a confirmed Consump-

of DR.. Wistar's Balsam OF Wild Cherry. l
began its use, and before had taken half a
bottle of 1t my cough and all my other
troubles left me, and was cured. feel so
truly indebted to this great remedy for
what it has done for me that l send you this
voluntary testimony, hoping it may be the
means of inducing others who are suffer

best remedy for lung complaints that 1

From the Daily Of Thursday.

MAGNIFICENT That IS what the
steamship Alaska is. By the cour-
tesy of Agent H. L. Tibballs we
were shown through this floating
palace. The comforts of passengers
are provided for in heI elegant par
lors, there being select library,
and fine piano. Her dining saloon
is particularly well fitted mp, and if
surroundings go for anything the
passengers on the Alaska will enjoy
their table comforts. The kitchen
is so arranged as to economise
space; two large ranges are used for
cooking. Staterooms are arranged
in pairs, with doors opening into
the saloons, and opening upon the
open air promenades. Fire hose
and life saving apparatus are locat-
ed wherever their presence will add
to the safety of passengers. The
fire hose are attached and arranged
so they can be filled with steam oD
the slightest alarm, and the fire
quickly smothered. The First En-
gineer, Mr.. John Stewart, kindly
showed us the monster engine. The
cylinder is 105 inches, and the pis-
ton has stroke of II feet. The
engine is rated at 1,SO0 horse power,
though the engineer says if necessary
it can be worked at 1000 horsepow-
er. The condensing boiler, by
which salt water is converted into
steam, and the steam condensed into
fresh water, is filled with 10000
tubes e of an inch in diameter, and
II feet long. By this means all the
fresh water necessary for the boiler,
and for any purpose on the steam
ship can be furnished as long as the
supply of coal lasts. Passing down,
down, under the sea, are seen lines
of furnaces into which the firemen
are continually shoveling coal.
From this point up a number of
stair ways, and past the FURNISHED
engines, emerging into daylight,
seems like long journey upwards.
The figures, 4, 500 tons, do not con-
vey a very definite idea of the size
and capacity of this monster of the
deep. If closely slowed away, as
soldiers were on transports during
the war, the Alaska could easily
carry every man.. woman and child
in Seattle, and hundreds of tons of
freight besides. We may we'll be
proud of having such a magnificent
steamship call at this port. If sufii-
cient freight can be obtained the
Alaska will continue on this route,
bu5 this is hardly probable until the
shipment of grain and salmon be-
gins next year.
ooD.--That is what Mr.. Bernard
said of the playing of the Pacific
Cornet Band last evening, and that
is what many of our citizens said.
Prof. Savenieres was so we'll pleased
that he promised to send the band
a large sized photograph of himself
from San Francisco; he also prom
ised to send some choice music ar
ranged by himself as soon as he
gets leisure to prepare it. The
band is continually receiving new
music, and is making rapid pro-
gress.
A BLEss1Na.-Those who are ac-
customed to having custards, pud-
dings, beans, hominy, etc., burn in
the oven, will readily see the advan-
tage of having an oven in which
the burning of food is an impossible
ity. Such an one. we can say from
experience. is the Lockwood Porta-
BILE Steam Oven. See the ADVERTISE
ment for further particulars.

A special states that John W. Hin
man and his mother-an account OF
whose arrest ct Richmond. Ind, for
the abduction Of Johnnie Eddy Moi
ct was published in the Eastern pa
pers last week make the following
state:nent:--"They knew nothing Of
the abduction Of Charlie Ross until
led to an investigation BY young
Mofitt himself; who in looking at .
paper containing his brothers pic
ture, said, THAT 10 my brother Wal

Of Charlie Ross he said, '.Oh, that
is where I used to live, and there,

exhaust pipes of q steamer).
Hinman says there are at least
seven distinct marks upon the per-
son of ''Johnnie Moffitt" correspon.
ding with similar marks on the per-
son Of Charlie Ross, and that the
boy has been locked up and illtreat-
ed for talking to them about his old
home. When called by the name
of Charlie Ross he burst into tears
and said: Don't call me by that
name here or I will be locked up in
. dark closet" They say that an
adopted daughter of Motifs eau
toned them about making any facts
in regard to the boy public, and
acknowledged that there was mys-
terry as to who he was. The Hin
mans say they did not ask Johnnie
to go with them; that he volunta-
rily ran away from Moffitt and &C.
companied young Hinman to the
wagon in the woods, where he
begged to be taken with them; that
they were trying to reach q telegraph
Office where they could communicate
with Mr.. Ross. Mr.. Moffitt is a very
wealthy farmer and bearsan unblem-
isLed reputation in this community.
