Mr.. HaIlcn'S Cow.

In the great Hayden trial. as it has
come to be called because of its eXtrava-
CANT gathering of all things in heaven,
on earth or its waters into its OmnivOrOuS
NAV for the conviction of the priS-
Oner, and with the net result of barely
raising a suspicion against him, the latest
essay of the prosecution was to prove
that Hayden'S S COW, measuring four feet
one and Seven-eighthS inches at the rump,
and four feet and three-eiyhths of an
inch at the shoulders, readily and
repeatedly walked through an aperture
in the barn but three feet six and a half
inches high. Perhaps the COW did it as
the witnesses swore that she did though
unlimited confidence is not to he placed
in the testimony of a Connecticut witness,
as this trial has shown since on every
material question of fact or science there
is at least one oath each way. But there
is no betting what a cow won't do when
she wants to do it, and it is just as true
that there is mighty little that she
Will do when she don't want to do it.
She gives us her milk only because it
pleases her, and she keeps it whenever
she feels like it. To drive her in way
in which she don't want to 90 is the most
valuable exercise in the attainment of a
patient spirit that can be named and
ought to be put in the regular curriculum
of our public schools for the education of
the scholars in the heavenly grace of pa
tience; the Sunday school schol-
ars, at any rate, ought to be
set at driving COW from her
calf, or her clover, OF anything else that
she wants to linger 10y. Yes, it is credi-
BILE that the Hayden four feet cow went
through three foot hole, and we do not
know at what sized hole our credulity i'm
this direction would stop. 1t would be
sorely tried if the commemorative wit
ness could he induced to swear that the
hole was narrower than her body's
girth, but if there was bucket of bran
outside she would try to make it while
her hide stayed on.

In Washington yesterday good deal of
excitement was caused by the shooting of
John H. Morgan, son or Senator Morgan,
of Alabama, by Lucy Wharton Rhett Hor-
ton. The girl has long been in state al
most of frenzy by reason of her relations
with young Morgan, who it is alleged, be-
trayed her under promise of marriage sew
eral years ago. Miss Horizons and
MOrgan's fathers were generals together
in the Confederate army and afterwards
law partners. The girl has been in Wash
ingtOn for some months and nothing is
known that brings her life there in ques-
ton. She has been in pursuit of Morgan
and her first attempt to shoot him was in
May last at his Office. That failed ard
she had him indicted for seduction, but
the case never came to trial. In July
last she brought civil suit for twenty
thousand dollars damages which is now
pending. The shooting occurred at Ju-
dietary square, Miss Horton coming up be-
hind Morgan end shooting him in the
shoulder. Morgan turned upon her and
took the pistol from her, the girl saying
that she would kill him yet. She at once
entered passing horse car, and the crowd
that gathered sympathizing will. her, at
tempted to mislead the police, who, how.
ever, soon arrested her. Morgan is not
very badly hurt.

''It is scandal upon Pennsylvania JUS

We know of one Justice of the supreme
court who never rode on free pass on any
railroad since the adoption of the new Con-
stitution. Without intending to cast i'm
putation upon any of his brethren on the
bench, who may be the subject of the

least claim Judge Turnkey as one who is
mindful of the letter and spirit of the
law" We believe, also, that the late Judge
Woodward never travelled on free passes.

WE are not well enough posted as to
"Mary Clemmer," but we suppose she is
one of those perpetual nuisances " in pet
ticoats that haunt the lobbies of Congress
and the departments at Washington, and
who had to be "sat down on" during the
time of Grants administration, and her
mission now is to make it ''warm" " for
him. For its own cause we would
suggest that it had better in the future
suppress any further screeds from the pet
ticoated Clemmer, &c.-Eraminer.
The Ecaminer has our sympathy in its
confession of dense ignorance. Such stu
pidity alone would excuse its intimations
about Mrs. Clemmer. Fortunately fol
itself it has few intelligent readers who
do not know who Mrs. Clemmer is and
that she never hauntslObbies," but is a

STARTING THE MACHINE.

The New Era Gags at the Dose-lsut it Will
Finally Gulp it Down.
Mcssrs. Warfel and Geist's New Era
The purpose of this extraordinary haste
in calling the convention is very plain. 1t
simply means that Don Cameron is deter
mined to secure such a delegation to the
Chicago convention as can be manipulated
to serve his purpose. What that purpose
may be will be known only when the time
comes. He cares no more for Gen Grant,
except SO far as Grants popularity may
serve his purpose, than he does for the
inhabitants of the planet Jupiter He
does have care, however, that such dis
tricts as Lancaster county shall not have
an opportunity, by fair expression of the
popular sentiment. under the rules of the
party, to say who shall represent them i'll
the state convention. He knows too we'll
that in such an event they would not be
the men of his choosing. The party has
learned something in this direction by
past experience, and would take good care
that no more betrayals should be charged
to their account as at Cincinnati in 1876,
and at Harrisburg last year. On anything
like fair expression of Republican senti-
ment in Lancaster county the verdict
would be overwhelmingly adverse to third
term. OF this the machine managers were
fully advised, and hence their cagcrness to
have the machine started so early that the
people could not Overtakc it.
1t is now for the Republicans of Lancas-
ter county to say whether they will allow
the machine to be run over them ac-
cording to the programme of the leaders.
1t is manifestly the duty of the chairman
of the county committee to call that body
together at the earliest practical day and
fix the time for holding primary meetings
to choose delegates to the state convention.
That election could be held on Saturday,
the first of February. No other course
will be satisfactory to a majority of Re-
publicans III this county. Unsatisfactory
as is the short time allowed for developing
public sentiment, owing to the indecent
haste of the state committee i'll calling the
convention at an unprecedentedly early a
day, it is the best thing to do under the
circumstances, and strong element in
the party in the Republican stronghold
will be satisfied with nothing less.

y ROME, Feb. 1.-THE Latin text
of the papal encyclical letter against
divorce fills twelve columns of the
Asservatore Romano. 1t argues in
favor of the removal Of the rite of
marriage from all civil jurisdiction
whatsoever. 1t traces the history
of marriage from patriarchal to
Catholic times, and declares that
Christ elevated it to a sacrament
which only His church
can administer. The attempt
made under various guises by
modern spirit of irreligion to rob
the church of her right either TO
bind or loose marriage tie, must
be resisted by the whole Catholic
world. His holiness indicates cons
ditions whereunder a separation of
husband and wife may be sanc-
toned by the church, and cons
cludes with an exhortation to uni
versal episcopals to communicate
his teachings to the faithful for
their welfare in both worlds.
