INSTRUCTIONS TO A JURY.-Speaking
of Courts, reminds us OF funny instruc.
tion said to have been given by Judge
to jury in-well, we won't say in what
State. II runs this way;
"If the jury believe from the-evidence
that the plaintiff and the defendant were
partners in the grocery, and that the
plaintiff bought out the defendant and
gave his 'ncte for the interest, And the
defendant paid 70. the note by delivering
the plaintiff COW, which he warranted
mot breachy,' and the warranty was brs
ken by reason of tho breachiness of the
COW, and the plaintiff drove her back
aud rendered her to the defendant, but
the defendant refused to receive her, and
the plaintiff took her home again, and
putsa heavy yoke or poke upon her, TO
prevent her from jumping the fence, and
the COW, in attempting to jump tie fence,
by reason of the poke or yoke. broke her
neck and died, and if the jury further
believe that the defendants interest in
the grocery was not worth anything, the
plaintiffs note. was worthless, and the
cow good for nothing, either for milk or
beef, or for green hide then the jury
must find out for themselves how they
will decide the case-for the cart, if she
understands herself, aid she thinks she
do, don't know how such O cussed case
should be decided"

CAST 4 LINE FOR YoURsELr.-A
young man stood !is.!e5s!y watching some
people fishing on bridge. He was poor
and detected. At last approaching a
baske. filled with wholesome fish, he
sighed
'If now, had these wouldb be hap
py. l could sell them at fair price, and
buy me food and lodgings"
Il will give you just as many. and just
as good fish," said the owner, who had
chanced TO overhear his words, "if you
will do me trifiing favor"
"And what is that ?" asked the other.
"Only attend this line till come bnck
l wish to go on short Grand"
The proposal was gladly accepted. The
old man was gone 80 long that the young
man began to be impatient. Meanwhile
the hungry fish snapped greedily at the
baited hook, and the young man lost all
his depression in the excitement Of pull
ing them in; and, when the owner OF
the line returned, he had caught large
number. Counting out from them as
many as were in the basket, and present
ing them to the young man, said:
II fulfill my promise from the fish you
have caught, to teach you whenever you
see Others earning what you need, to
waste no time in fruitless wishing, but
cast line for yourself"

LAUcH.-A cheerful view Of Washing
ton is given In a story once told by Mrn.
Madison to- little girl, who now repeats
it in LiingPincoa's lA4sgasins:
Zone day in Philadelphia" said Mrs.
Dolly Madison, II was sitting in my par
lof with q very dear frierd, Mrs. r. B.
Lee, when in. walked Payne Todd fher
son ).dressed up liz my bed gown. While
we were laughing at the figure he cur,
the servant threw open the door and an
nOunced General and Mrs. Washington.
What to do with that dreadful boy
didn't, know. He could not face the
President h that garb. Neither could
he leave the ROOM without meeting them,
for the door they were entering was the
only one. | made him crawl quickly
undrr low, BROAD settee on which /
was sitting. had just time TO arrange
the drapery when the Washingtons en-
tered. After the courtly greeting, and
the usual con-. liments of the season,
there came from under the settee heavy
sigh, which evidently attracted the Gem
end laughed little louder, hoping to
divert his attention, when-oh, me = -
there came an outcry and kick that
could not be ignored. SO stopped down
and dragged Payne out by the leg. Gen.
Washington's dignity left him for once.
Laugh Why, he fairly roared! He
nearly went into commissions. The sight
of that boy in that gown, all 10 unex
pected, coming wrong end first from un-
der my seat-it was too much"

- He bought a'guftar and practiced
for sig long, weary months. But at the
end of that time smile of Joy lit up his
wan and weary face, and his brow grew
radiant with JOY as he inspected the corns
on the thumb OF his right hand. The
hour was 10 p. m., and he we~dered
through the Silly night to the boarding
house where che lived, and directly under
that window which had been so often
sshctified by her presence, he commenced
to toot: lTwang, twang, bim.) II wan

THE PAST ETERNITY.
BY HENRY KinKE WHITE.

When the rude rushing winds forget to ravo,
And the pnle moon, that through the case

Surveys the 5eepis5s Iiti5eT, st5up5 tho hour
OF utter silence--tt is fearful then
TO steer the mind, in deadly solitude,
Up the vague stream Of probability:
To wind the mighty secrets Of the past,
And turn the key OF Time Oh, who can
To comprehend thta, vast, tho awful truth
Of the eternity thdt hath gone BY,
And not recoil from the dismayIng sense
OF human impotence7 The life OF man
u summed in birth days and In sepulchrcs
But the Eternal God had no beginning:
lie hath no end, Time Ind been with him
For 6serlasfing, ere the dpdal world
Rose from the gulf in ioveiiness-like him
II knew no source, like him twas uncreste.
What 10 1t, thenf Thep Eternityi

We feel it possible that evcn yon sun
May roll forever; but we shrink amazed
We stand agbasi, when wercAect that Time

If Major Burke tells the truth
and, besides being a man of his
word, he is corroborated by abundant
contemporaneous documentary evil
dence-there can no longer remain
any doubt that Mr.. Hayes obtained
the office of President by a bargain
with the Louisiana men long after
the election of President had taken
place. 4
The count was allowed to proceed
to a result favorable to Mr.. Hayes
solely in consideration of written
pledges made to Louisiana Demo
Gratis by Messrs, Foster and Mat
thews, which pledges we're affirmed
by Mr.. Hayes. The pledges acre IN
wyiting, and the assurance By Mr.
Hayes that Messrs. Foster and Mat
thews qpere authorized to make them
was IN writing.
Major Burke, who testifes to this
was the prime mover in the whole
business in the interest of Louisiana
This is the first time in the histo
ry of the country that the office o.
President has been traded for.
Such is the title that is pronounc
ed by Tammany Hall and the Penn
sylvania Democracy to be sacred.
Such is the title to the office o
President which is said by Alexan
der H. Stephens of Georgia to b.
better than George Washington's.

The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1878-08-08

The great big BOBBY ought to be
ashamed of himself to be running
around exhibiting "private" letters,
that stuff him about fabulous sums
Of money being used at the Sidney
Convention, and written by an itin-
Grant Republican Democratic wolf
in sleeps clothing, who left this
county and strsyed into Darke with
his politics in his pocket, to be bar
tered for an office! The idea of seq
enteen thousand dollars being used
to secure a Congressional nomina-
tion, could only be ~concocted in the
brain of an idiot and credited by very
stupid asses. There is not a school
boy of twelve years of age who would
not at once smile at the immensely
of the lie, and the individual of ma
ture years who peddles it around for
facts, should be put into a straight
jacket.
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1878-08-08

We commend the following very
sensible paragraph to the attention
of Bro. Williams. 1t is taken from
the Xenia TorchHght, a very radical
Republican journal:
The O'Conner law recognizing
the Orphans Home was infamous.
1t was a Democratic stab into the
vitals of the institution, and honest
Democrats denounce it as well as
Republicans. But as to the change
in the management of the Home
why should the, Republican party
complain Of the Democratic party
for doing that which the Republican
party did three years ago on a SINH
lar occasion? Did not Major Shaw
succeed Mr.. Kerr and Dr. Brundage
to DR.. Jones, both of them excellent
officers? If the Home is to be run
on party principles, that which is
wholesome for the goose can not be
said to be d~eleterious to the diges-
tive organs of the gander.
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1878-08-08

Hon. D. C. STUBS, the Represen-
tative from this county, voted against
the O'Conner bill recognizing the
Orphans Home, and we have the
first Democrat yet to hear. censure
him for it, consequently Bro. Will
liams' effort to get up a "~corner" on
that question, is simply very silly,
besides, the passage of the bill does
not wrong a single farmer, a me-
chanic oil q laboring man in Preble
county to the amount of one dollar!
All this palayer about that bill and
Home is only political clap-trap, to
befuddle poor devils and induce
them to vote against the Democratic

policy of the government. Any man
who will permit such abominable
stuff to influence his vote, is unfit to
cast one.
