Who Wants a Title?


A great grandson of Racine, I see has
just been helped to title of Marquis by
the Pope. For the benefit of my country
men and others may as well state here
that any person who wants to obtain a
similar distinction from the Vatican can
purchaseit on comparatively cheap terms.
The list of prices is as follows: For a
Dukes title, 94S0; Marquis, 9320; Count,
4240; Barron, EGO. Such titles have
currency in Continental society, are a
sure ladder to the hand of an heiress and
on the whole seem to pay well. There
are certainly worse investments in the
market.

Miss Maggie Foreman came a few days
ago to the Hot Springs, Wyoming Terri
tory. The springs, which are situated
twenty-eight miles above Fort Steele, on
the head waters of the North Platte, with
her sister. Jim Adams, noted hunter
and scout, accompanied the party as
guide and general protector. Adams,
who is Miss Foreman's brother-in-law.
was raised in Mount Pleasant, Iowa, and
came West in the early days of the
Union Pacific Railroad. He is brave
scout.
On Tuesday last Adams started on a
broncho to ride to surveying party on
Medicine Bow Mountains, leaving his
trained horse with us. Adams had been
gone but little while when Miss Fore
man expressed desire to ride her broth
er's horse. She galloped around the
camp for while, and was about to dis
mount when a shot was heard about five
hundred yards up the river, and mo-
ment later an enormous black elk came
dashing out of ravine with Jim Adams
short distance behind in full chase.
The elk was wounded, but yet able to
run at great speed. The writer handed
to Miss Foreman large army Colts
revolver.
Miss Foreman took the revolver and
started toward the elk. The horse had
been thoroughly trained for such work
by Mr. Adams, and dashed forward with
frightful speed. Adams urged his horse
in a vain endeavor to overtake her, but
the little broncho which he bestrode was
no match for his own favorite steed The
elk started for the mouth of canon about
mile distant, through which it could
reach the higher mountains. Miss Fore
man was seen to fire the revolver at the
elk. Two, three, four shots were
fired, and yet the speed of the
elk was not lessened, but at the fifth shot
it was observed to waver, stagger, and in
moment fall heavily to the ground.
Then Miss F. was seen to halt and fire
another skot into the animal as he lay
struggling near the horses feet. The elk
weighed about one thousand pounds. A
number Of Yuma Jacks band of Yute
Indians, who were camped near, and who
witnessed the chase, gazed upon tie
heroine in amazement, one OF them
remarking: "White squaw heap brave
ride all the same like wind in storm"

A French jewelers. store in Barcelona

A French jewelers. store in Barcelona
was recently robbed of diamonds and
other stones worth about 100000. A
fortnightago the Marseilles police noticed
several rather seedy-looking individuals
going from one jewelers. shop to another
Offering diamond-studded trinkets for
sale. No time was lost about their ar
rest, and the wealth of Golconda seemed
contained on their persons On one
was found precious stones to the value
of 1880 francs, and waist belt hold
ing nearly 5000 francs in coin, while an
examination of the others vestments re-
vealed jewels and money to the value Of
900 francs. A woman who had also
come from Barcelona, but had not disem-
barked at Marseilles, was taken into Gus

session an unusual number Of watches

ing thunderstorm the electric fluid fell
close to her. For a moment she seemed
suffocating, but this sensation soon passed
off into fit of hiccups. These became
so distressing that after three days her
mother took her to the Children's Hos
pital in Paris for advice. The surgeon
ordered her to be taken to the operating
theater, where, on seeing the medical
man standing at table covered with
some awful looking instruments, and sur
rounded by a number of assistants in
white aprons, the child became so terri
fed that she forgot her hiccups and she
was thus cured.

They wouldn't permit her to marry
the man of her choice, those cruel pa
rents up in New Hampshire. She was
then pretty and lively girl-in point of
fact, blooming school ma'am. She de-
clared that she would no longer teach
the young idea how to shoot. Life be-
came burden to her, and also dressing
and undressing. So she wrapped the
drapery of her couch around her, and
for two score years she thus remained.
She is dead now, and reposes still more
permanently in narrower bed, in which
she does not require so much waiting
upon.

NJ. Gambetta, it is now stated, has
never had fortune. The success Of the
Republique Francaise only afforded him
comfortable circumstances. His apart
ments, furnished with great simplicity,
have some objects of art and books, his
only extravaganza. His carriage is hired
by the month, and his reported train of
servants is found to be only Francois, the
young Garde Mobile, who has been in his
service since 1870. The story of his
friend NJ. Dubochet leaving him for
tune is contradicted. NJ Dubochet left
everything to his nephew and niece, who
thought they would be interpreting the
wishes of their uncle in asking his friend
to accept in remembrance of him sum
of 100000 francs. Gambetta replied
with friendly refusal.

GARCELON'S DEFENSE.
Review of the Governors Law and
Logic.

Mr.. Garceon sa' S that he and his Council
in canvassing the returns, have performed their
duty with strict impartiality and without re-
gard to the political status of the persons to be
affected by their decision. The degree of evil
dence to be required in support of his state
ment, as in al matters dependent upon human
testimony, increases or diminishes in proper
ton to the probability of the statement itself.
It is not too much to say that the remarkable,
one sided result reached renders the state
ment extremely improbable. While t0centy-
eight Republican Senators and Representa-
tives have been counted out and the same num-
Der of fusionists counted in, in their stead; and
while the returns from many Republican cities
have been rejected, thus leaving them without
any representation; not one Democratic Send-
tor or Representative has shared q similar fate!
Although the law presumes that all public
officers will perform their duty correctly, yet
the circumstances in this case are so antago-
nistic to that presumption, and the degree OF
improbability is so great as to cast upon Mr.
Garcelon the burden OF sustaining his state
ment by evidence more satisfactory than his
own mere assertion. AT this point we perceive
the complete paucity of his statement in which
he studiously avoids giving any information as
to the acts performed, but deals wholly in gem
eralities.
In addition to other arguments which might
be presented upon this point, the action OF the
Governor and Council in the case of the Coun-
ty officers of Cumberland County constitutes
plenary evidence to disprove the impartiality
of their decisions. The statutes make ample
provision Tor the correction of errors and infor-
maities by these officers, and no question arises
as to the constitutonality of such statutes.
The candidates Tor Judge and Register OF
Probate and County Attorney respectively,
filed with the Governor and Council their Pc
titions for leave to substitute copy OF the
amended record Of the city of Portland for the
return, and hearings were had upon the same,
when each Of the candidates presented brief
specially adapted to the circumstances of his
own case.
The FACTS WERE AS FOLLOWS. In the case
of Register of Probate and County Attorney,
the ocGrd returns contained the names Of all
persons uoted for. The same is true as to the
Judge of Probate, with the exception of a sim
gle cote from ward one, returned as scatter

1t happened, however, that for each of these
offices there were persons voted for outside the
regular candidates, and the city clerk in max
| ing up his original record and return tabulated
such votes under one class as Scattering
with the following result;
FOR JUDGE OF PROBATE,
Scattering. ........... ,.......... Three (3)-
FOR REGISTER OF PROBATE,
Scattering. ......... ........ Fourteen 40.
FOR COUNTY ATTORNEY.
Scattering. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Fifteen (15)
Subsequently the city clerk amended his
record SO as to accord with the WARD RETURNS
THEMSELVES, and the amended record, there
fore, showed NO SCATTERING VOTES, except one
for the Judge of Probate from ward one. This
amendment was made under the supervision of
the Mayor and Aldermen, and they, with the
city clerk, joined in certificate under oath
that it was correct.
The facts, then, being undisputed, the ques-
ton as to whether the petitions Of these officers
should be granted becomes one purely of law.
In my neet article l purpose to consider the
rules OF law applicable 10 these facts, and it is
unnecessary to discuss them at this time but
it is believed that all the points which will be
made would be sustained by eUe1y member of
the Court. Several, indeed ALL Democratic
lawyers, whose opinions have been given to
the writer, land there are severaD agree that
the Republican officers 2yere entitled to their cer
tifcoteS.
The Governor and Council were urged be-
fore passing upon these legal questions and
rendering decision SO important to the per-
oaT- Dsx,.o = 10
Court. This they de clined to do, and they de-
cided that the Portland return must be re-
iected, and have issued certificates to the fu-
sion candidates.
It may perhaps be well to state that when
Judge Cleaves was elected over Mr.. Peabody
in 1875 the return from Portland (gioing
Democratic. naqjority) showed "Scattering 4"
and acds counted. This year it shows "Scatter-
ing three" and is rejected, and Judge Cleaves
receives tire certificate.
It is to be remembered that there is no other
tribunal created by the Constitution to be the
final judges of the election OF these officers, as
the Governor says is the case with Senators
and Representatives.
Yet the Governor and Council declined to
ash the opinion Of the Court, and determined
for themselves the important questions OF law
raised, ALTHOUGH THEIR DECISION AFFECTED
IN THE AGGREGATE FOURTEEN YEARS OF Off
CIAL TERMS, attended with MORE THAN FIJI
TEEN THOUSAND DOLLARS IN SALARIES
And they took the offices and salaries from
THOSE WHO IN FACT RECEIVED THE MAJORITY
OF THE VOTES, and bestowed them upon their
political friends. Suppose the relative position
IF ba candidates had hpen ravarSn1. Id
they have counted ont theirfr lends without re-
ferring the questions of law to the Courts?
Would they have been so ready to nullVy the

Would not they hare refused to do this thing

Court? LEX.
