Clarke's convlcts, negro named Henry
Brown, made daring and desperate
escape. lie had In some manner eluded
the guards, and passed neighbours
house with his convict stripes and
shackles on. When asked what he was
doing, he replied that his time was out.
Soon the dogs were heard on his track,
and the neighbors Joined In the pursuit.
He was run down by the dogs and freed
Several trees were cut down, as he would
get from one to another In successlon
Finally he got into negro house, which
was surrounded. He jumped out of the
window, was shot at several times, and
pursued with hue and cry, but, wonder
ful to relate, he finally escaped, although
encountered by shackles.

LONDON, March 12.-The Times cor
respondent at Pesth, says: "For well
nigh week Szegedin, the second COM
mercial town in Hungary, has been in
imminent danger of inundation from
the river Theiss, which fiows through
the town. Several large dykes protec-
ting the back of the town have been
burst and the safety of the town now de-
pends on the embankment of the AL
ford railway, to strengthen which all ef-
forts are concentrated. AS, however, in
the upper course of the river the water
has begun to fall rapidly, if the embank

Quit Treatinu.

The Anti-Treating League, of Balti-
more, Is doing an active business in the
way procuring signatures TO an anti
treating pledge, which forbds drinking
at others expense or inviting another
to drink at your expense. Most of the
excessive drinking in this country Is
done under the treating system. Every
one in n party is expected to "set 'em
up" and by the time all have done so
each gets sundry drinks, where he
would otherwise have but one. If
nobody ever treated, drinking would be
reduced more than one half.

In A trivial case returned for trial In
the Schuylklll county court, the jury
returned verdict of "not guilty." with
this addition 1.-THE jury unanimously
regret that they cannot compel the com.
mitting magistrate to pay the costs.
If the justices could be made to pay the
costs In some cases that are sent to court
without any cause-or hardly any-we
predict there would be great many less
trivial cases In court.
We bel ieve that in some cases the
courts have compelled the justices to
pay costs, and If they have such power
why Ia It not enforced oftener.

A Hint to workingman.

The honest workingmen ofthe country
many of whom have large and increas-
ing families to support, have been the
chief sufferers from the great financial
pressure under which we have labored
for the last few years. Diminished
wages have not been attended by a
corresponding diminution IN price of
everything which the workingman
needs, Rents. fuel food, and clothing
are cheaper, but these do not consti-
tute all his necessities. It is sometimes
necessary for him to employ lawyer
or physician, yet the fee rates of ply
sicians and lawyers are as high as
they were in flush" times. Yet cheap
medicines are as necessary as cheap
rents or fuel. Cheap medicines are
not necessarily poor medicines. 1t
must be obvious TO every intelligent
person that medicines, compounded
and put up at wholesale, can be sold at
much lower rates than when retailed
from the doctors pill bags. DR.. Pierce s

1t seems to be the rule everywhere this
year, for Democrats to make straight noun
nations, on sound Democratic platforms
This is an somen Of returning good sense,
and indicates desire on the part of the
Democracy to eschew all side issues aud
night for principles as paramount to every
thing. Whenever the Democrats get
down to work on sound platform of
straight Democratic principles it counts.
When, however, for the sake of temporary
success, whether local or state, the party
organization is dropped. the final
outcome is disastrous. The Democratic
party has outlived every new party that
ever existed. and will he the great party
of the people when all others have been
forgotten. The only true policy for Dem-
ocrats to pursue is 20 contend as Demo
Gratis, on Democratic platform. for the
time honored principles which have
brought success. and which. if adhered to
now, will result 10 glorious victory in the
future. Democrats, make no sacrifices,
but stand by your principles, Itwere bet
ter to suffer defeat as Democrats. than
achieve temporary success involving the
surrender of true Democracy.
