The Late Editor Of the London Times.

John L. Delane, was for tlirty-six years
the chief editor of the London Times,
which he found great newspaper, and
made the greatest journal in England.
Upto his day, the Times had been great
in its news. Some Of its beats" during
the Napoleonic COT tests have never been
surpassed, and its fearless publication
Of facts touching high persOnages led
10 one or two of the greatest libel suits
in the history of English journalism.
Mr.. Delane, the nephew Of the previous
financial manager of the paper, became
in 1S41 its chief editor at "a years Of
age, and he made the paper great in
two new particulars, with extraordinary
success for twenty years and more; it
reflected the sentiment of the English
ruling class, and it was served by q body
of men altogether superior in ability
and character to any previously EN-
ployed on English papers. Delane
showed signal ability in choosing his
agents, and an almost cynical contempt
in the management of the paper for
consistency. The paper first went hope
lessly wrong under him in its treatment
of the United States from 1861 on, and
he had a rough tumble in q newspaper
war with Richard Golden only . few
years later which sadly damaged Delane
in popular estimation. The anonymous
secrecy Of English journalism always
left in the dark Delane's real work in
making the Times what it was, but
he has generally had the credit of being
the great master mind OF tho enterprise.

COrns.

Corns consist oi layers of thickcnrG

This epidermis il in constant process OF

Constantly being thrown OFF in minute

Ii AS destitute of feeling as the nails,
indeed the rails-as aisc the scales on
the legs of fowls and on the .odes of

Corns are among the excresences "
OF civilization. A higher civilization,
however, which shall conform the shoe
to the foot, instead of the foot to the

know of the crushed feet of Chinese
women.
a thickening of the epidermis having
been caused at the points of special
pressure, this iniames still further the
skin beneath, giving rise to successive
layers of thickencd epidermis, which
cannot be thrown of like ordinary scarf

yer, the flesh above and around it will
die, and new skin be formed below,
which will in time lift the splinter out.
But in the case of corns, natures efforts
are twarthed by the persistent pressure
from above, which constantly enlarges
the cora from below.
Tie first step toward relief is to &c.

may be possible.
A pointed knife run down carefully
between the layers will easily take out
for the time-the central core. Some
times it can be picked out with the nail,
after soaking the feet three successive
nights in warm water. The soaking
swells the core and, like posts lifted by
the frost, it seldoms returns fully to its
place. But Is the cores always fill up
again, the only permanent remedy is the
removal of the cause.

He Didn't Advertise.

He was short, thick-set man, with
dyspeptic side whiskers. His gait was
about as lively as that of q sick Car

grass spots. He ambled slowly into the
editorial-room of the Sand Flat Snake

Pardon of the Bribers.
recovery
WARREN.

The board of pardons met at Har-
risburg on Friday last, April 80, to
consider an application for pardon of
Kemble and others. The Attorney
General rendered an opinion that the
Imprisonment pant of the sentence was
illegal, citing decisions of the supreme
court in similar cases. The board
unanimously decided to remit the sen.
tences of Imprisonment leaving the
fines, costs and disqualifications of
citizenship as they were imposed.
Public sentiment will no doubt Justify
this action of the Board. Law and
justice have been asserted in the most
positive way, and to release these men
after the sentence of Imprisonment to
the penitentiary has been pronounced,
can in no sense be regarded as their
vindicatlon, but is simply an act of
mercy. The moment they were lodged
behind the grated doors of a prison
cell, the majesty of the law had asser-
ted itself. OF the five men there is
only one of whom there is any reason
to fear that the lesson taught will fail
to be effective, and that is the pro.
fessional legislative corruptionist Pc
troH, who has twice before been ad-
judged guilty of corrupt practices by
the body which he has for a number
of years disgraced. The question
whether clemency should or should
net be extended rested entirely with
the four men who constitute the board
of pardons-or perhaps it might be
more proper to say tuO of these four
men, namely, Attorney. General Pal
mer and Lieut.-Goy, Stone, who stood
up like men in defeuse of justice apd
impartial administration of the laws
when they defeated the granting of
previous pardons. The action ofthese
to officials now will be accepted as
promoted by pure aud honest motives.
The sentence was very severe one
the severest the statutes would
allow-and was surprise to every.
body, There is, Of course, a difference
OF opinion as to how much of the sen.
tenee they ought to undergo, but we
! think all will be satisfied with the

action of tho Board, and especially
General Palmer and Lieut-Gov.
Stone. AS one Of our exchanges puts
IL: "Tbey are men who have been
honored by their fellow townsmen.
Society will not be endangered by
their freedom. So we say let the
Board Of Pardons liberate the prison
ers if they see fit, and then let the
first newspaper man who is withoutsin
cast the first stone"

The other profits Of the proposed part
nership are those which are to be Sc
cured by the leaders Of the regular
wing. Mr. Cassidy and his associates
obtain the support of Randall for
their candidacy as delegates to the
National Convention, thus giving them
clear titles thereto.
The caucus held at Bottoms Hotel
ON Tuesday evening, upset all calcula-
tions by rejecting the form of compro.
mise advanced, and there was another
grand war Of words. Around the sa-
looms the discussion becoming more
heated, blows were indulged in and in
some cases the revolver was brought
into use. AT present only one man
has been shot though quite number
have badly damaged countenances.
Considering the class, the proportion
of causualities is quite small. The
rush to get into the convention on
Wednesday was terrible, and quite a
number we're relieved of watches and
other valuables during the scramble
for seats.
Previous to the meeting of the con-
vention an amicable agreement had
been come to by Messrs. Randall and
Wallace, which resulted in the ap.
pointing of a committee to settle the
difficulties relating to contested seats
and factious fights. No business was
done on Wednesday at all, however,
as the convention had to await the
report of the committee which was not
presented until the reassembling on
Thursday morning, which occurred at
8 o'clock. All the difficulties had
been settled and everybody appeared
to be in a good humor. Randall and
his followers being specially pleased,
they having carried the day. Her
rick, whom it was thought would have
no opposition, was beaten on first bal
lot by Col. Root p. Dachert, of Phil
adelphia, for the nomination of Audi.
tor General, while Geo. A. jerks, of
Jefferson county, was made the non-
inee for the Supreme Judgship.
To-day the Riot Bribers were par
doned, and this p. N. left for their
homes. This action was taken on ac
count of an opinion by Atty Gen. Gill
bert, who said the statute did not pro-
vide the severe penalty imposed, and
agreed with the rest of the board that
in consideration of the severity of the
sentence the prisoners should be re-
leased but not restored to citizenship
and that they should pay the costs o.
prosecution and the fines imposed.
Mr.. Rumberger, one of the defend
ants, who was threatened with insani
ty, is considerably improved, anc
hopes are entertained of his ultimate
recovery.

Every train that reached this tenn.

its quota of the hetorogeous assem-

House on Wednesday at noon for the
purpose of giving the Democrats two

the reason that the rank and file from

little arrangement that was set up last

was that tho Philadelphia 6ght should
be disposed of by the admission Of
both sets of delegates to the conven.

in the interests Of harmony in the
party; really, it is log rolling all
round, with Wallace and his interests
left almost wholly out of the calcula
