Democratic Census Enumerators

Columbia Herald.
We do know from no less authority than
General Walker, superintendent of the
census bureau, that it will be required of
supervisors to divide the appointments.
He does not want a politicul census, and
such being the case Lancaster county will,
no doubt, have Democratic enumera-
tors in some of the townships. We
have good, active working Democrats in
every township amply qualified to assist in
the work, and it should be our greatest
pleasure to assist any and all such to obtain
the position. It is seldom that appoint
ment of both profit and trust falls to the
lot of Democrat in Lancaster
county, and when such occasion
arises it is the duty of those
who can aid them to do so In this affair
it matters not whether the applicant is for
Tilden or against him, or for Bayard, Han
cock or any other man !; it will be sufficient
to know that he 10 . Democrat and oom-
petent to perform the work. A man
should not be condemned because he ex.
Dreisss his right Of opinion.

HRST OF APRIL,

FIRST OF APRIL.
I OUT in the wood with MOllie.
And MOllie SO full of scOrn,
As under the leafiess beeches
We wandered one April morn.
flurried and worried and angry.
While Mollie: serenely cool,
Said, Jack, it's the lst of April:
Please don't be an April"
"You're right" said, in passion.
For I am 4 fool to-day,
To care for q fair, false woman
Who loves that she may betray,
l saw you riding with Charley;
know am only your tool;
And trysted this April morning
To be called an April"
"Hush, Jack! You're one of those lovers
That never should trust tda their eyes;
A not very sweet surprise"
Then looked at the fair calm maiden,
In her fresh spring garments dressed
Tender, green like the budding trees,
With vfolets at her breast.
"Ify you would explain. dear Mollie-''
mo, sir. that Is not my way"
"Then only say that you love me-"
IL have said it-before to-day"
30 love! love o MOllie dear!"
And the robins sang overhead:
80 love U love!" but sweeter far
Were the words that MOllie said.
Then hand in hand through the beeches.
In the light of MOllfe's love,
The soft green moss beneath our feet,
And the budding trees above,
The rosy blush on MOllie's face.
And the love-light in her eyes,
And every wintry cloud away
From Aprils soft blue Skies
Many Aprils have come and gone
Since won my little wife
As was fooled that happy morn.
She has fooled me all my life.
But, oh such folly is wisdom,
April or May, as rule
Happy's the man whom all his life
A good little wife can tool.

Farewell Visit.

caster MBnnerchor paid farewell visit to
their fellow member, VIM. Roehm, pro-
prietor of tho Schiller house, who is about
removing from this city to take charge
of hotel recently purchased by him i'll
Quarryville. The MHnnerchor turned out
almost en- masse and took possession of
the large hall of the Schiller house and
sang number of choice yieces, their fare
we'll song being very pathetic and especi-
ally well rendered. Mr.. Roehm is one of
the oldest members of the Mennerchor,
having belonged to it for more than 20
years. Tomorrow he removes to his lew
home in Quarryville.

to their mettle. He ran up the by-street
between the treasury building and the

watchman grabbed him. He was walked
back amid the jeers of hundreds of shrill
voices. Deprived of his stolen property
and impressed with the full majesty of the
law, he was released and fled, amid cho-
rus of derisive shouts.

Two Patterson, N. j., ladies were saved
from death by brave railroad flagman,
and they offered him two silver quarters

amount at which they valued their lives.
Suits for damages would therefore result
in a verdict of twenty-five cents each.

Poor House and Good Show.
Last evening the New Orleans minstrels,
which are under the management of A. D.
Miller, appeared in the hall before small
audience, which was we'll pleased with the
performance. There were ten persons in
the first part, all Of whom appeared in
white faces, with the exception Of Jake
Welby and Charles Goodyear, the end
men. The ballad singing was not good,
but the end men were funny and the in
strumental music was excellent. For
finale to the first part Mr.. Ben
jamin played the cornet, on which he
is really wonderful performer. Johnny
Klotz, good juggler, gave all exhibition
with knives, bottles, swords. &c. Welby
and Pearl, who are good pair of song and
dance men, we're we'll received and their
performance was the main feature of the
show. As acrobatic dancers they have
few superiors and their clog was first-class.
Senator Frank Bell is a capital stump ora
tor, and his local hits stirred up tho audi
ence. Bob Robinson's limitations of darkey
singers were very correct. Charles Good
years laughing song is good, but very an
cient. The same act has been done by
George Wilson for the last four years, and
that given by Goodyear is an imitation of
his. Nellie Gorton sang a baritone solo,
receiving an encore, and the performance
closed with the farce of "Thompson's
Dead"

THE Columbia Herald is right in
maintaining that the Democrats of Lam
caster county are entitled to fair share
of the census supervisors and that reli-
able Democrats should be appointed
wherever they are to be apportioned
solely with view to their fitness, and
without respect to their predictions for
president, or on any subject which ad-
mits of a fair difference of opinion with
in the party. We trust that Mr.. Snow
den will take this view of it and will not
allow himself to be swerved from such a
course by any other considerations. We
have convincing proof that an attempt
otherwise was made upon MIR. Samson
pending his confirmation, and any effort
to repeat that dose will only serve to
arouse deep resentment among the Lam
caster county Democracy. 1t was pro-
posed that the Democratic enumera-
tors in this district should be appointed
not from the considerations which the
Herald suggests, but upon the condition
that their political influence should be
bartered for private and individual inter-
ests, and their action with reference to
the next state convention should be con-
trOlled by the agents of influences outside
of Lancaster county, one of the strings
to be held by Don Cameron. The bar
gain was an utterly discreditable one,
but only failed because the demand
rather Oyerreached itself. We are glad
to believe nothing further of the kind
will be attempted, for, as we have said
before, anybody in the Democratic party
who undertakes to carry out that sort of
a contract will find it to be a milestone
around his neck.

Attem pted Murder,

The Susser Journal says that on
Monday evening last while Messrs
Thomas s. and Henry Barker, farm
ers of Indian River Hundred, were
riding to Millsboro' some unknown
person, being concealed behind a tree
near Robinson's Camp Ground, fired
a pistol ball into their carriage, which
passed diagonally between them, hit a
pipe in the mouth of the former,
leaving only the stem, and passed be-
hind the head of the latter. Although
this occurred soon after sunset, the
fire, ashes and fragments of the pipe
so blinded the gentlemen, and the
young horse which they were driving
becoming frightened, they did not see
any one, and have no idea who their
would-be murderer is. AS soon as it
was possible to take up their horse
they drove back to the spot and
searched the woods, but the assassin.
had made good his escape through
the thicket of young pines that border
the roadside.
