WE like to see a woman OF nerve.
and we saw one yesterday morning
that we will back against the biggest
and ljyeliest mouse in Bridgeport. In
the matter of age she was evidently
lingering somewhere in the decade
that separates some unmarried ladies
of twenty-nine from thirty, and
though she was not handsome she
was energetic. She was running up
Bank street from the post-office at a
killing pace when attention was first
attracted to her. She stepped out
regardless Of effect, and seemed to
care more for speed than style. The
world will never know what she was
in pursuit OF from us, for we had no
time TO ask her before her mishap.
and no time to ask Ter after. she
had nearly reached Main street when
the dress which had been olinrinp
about her heels suddenly began to
elongato and spread out Ike fan.
She continued TO run, and the gar.
ment continued to stretch ont and
form q tail like a comet, only more
substantial, The dazed passers.by
stopped, rubbed their eyes, aud find,
ing there was 10 mistake leaned
against the nearest brick building
and tried to think. Before they had
worked ont the problem the mystery
explained itself a streak of white
which had appeared at her back grew
wider, ran around each way until the
two ends met in front, ana then
broadened as the lower edge worked
rapidly towards the ground. The
spectators leaned against the building
frightened their grasp upon the brick,
as they made the discovery that the
dress had got away from its fastan
iugS aud was leaving its Wearer. The
lady made the discovery Just as one
ct the spectators was feebly trying to
find an opening between The bricks
large enough to crawl threugh, but
took mstters so coolly that f-mness
was restored to the spectators, and
the policeman who had started 10
run away, turned back. She knew
just what 70 do and did it. She
calmly reached down each side grab
bed the disappearing garment, haul
ed It up, held it behind her, scooted
for on open door and disappeared.
The spectators recovered and passed
on, the reporter whistled and started
for the post-oi'loe, and vas TOLL oyer

The Indiana Supreme Court has
furnished the Democratic party an.
other item Of back action campaign
capital. Southern assassinations, bull
doing, extra sessions, Cipher Alley
dispatches and G arooIonisms were all
intended to make votes, but their
back action has always taken away
more votes than they made The
State Of Indiana recently adopted an
amendment TO its constitution, by
majority Of abou. sixty thousand,
abolishing the October election and
requiring a residence Of thirty days
in town before one can be legal
voter The thirty days was yeEy
much in the way of the successful
importation Of voters from Kentucky,
and the court has found a way to set
aside the election at which the amend
ment was adopted The excuse was
in the fact that the whole number Of
votes cast at the election did not
tally with the sum of the votes cast
for and against the amendment
Some voted tickets that had neither

trap in a Supreme Court, will out
number the stampeding cattle, and
thus as usual the folly will have its
reward in back-aotion. Some one
should contest the election Of the
members of that court. We doubt
whether in any case the sum of the
votes cast for all the opposing candi.

number Of ballots cast, and We doubt
whether under that decision any man
was over legally elected to a State
Office in Indiana.
