If the action of the Bar Association in con-
demning the heavy campaign assessments
upon judicial candidates should have the
effect OF discOuraging or breaking up the
practice, it would end a grave public scandal.
1t is only in exceptional cases that lawyers
can command the sums which are required of
them by political organizations, without plac-
ing themselves under obligations which must
hamper them in the discharge of their duties.
But leaving this consideration entirely
out of the question, it is demor-
alizing, to say the least. to have
judicial positions put up to the highest
bidder for this is what it amounts to when
| the lawyer who is fit for the place may not
be able to get a nomination because he can
not pay the assessment. and the lawyer who
is not fit may be taken in his stead Mr..
Dorman b. Eaton suggests a law making such
| assessments impossible. If such law should be
made and afterwards evaded. the advocates of
an appOntive judiciary would have strong
argument put into their hands. With appointed
Judges, there would surely be an end OF as
sessments.

The changes in the City Departments are
likely to bring to light some unpleasant facts.
Already there are revelations in the Excise
Office, which in Tammany hands was one of
the most corrupt of close corporations. OF
the appropriation intended to last until next
May, almost five-sixths have been spent al
though nearly half of the fiscal year yet re-
mains. The Tammany Commissioners, doubt
less, expected "transfer of an unexpended
balance" to get them out OF the scrape.
More than score of inspectors and the
COUNSEL of the Board have now been sus-
pended. No one will regret their loss if the
suspension is endless.

A Winter Mcrnind.


The snowy hi Is just tinged with rosy light,
Like maidens pure beneath the smile OF
love;
The crystal river, cla1 in armor bright,
Rejecting glory from the sky ABOVE.
The solemn pines in white-robed beauty stand
Like hoary age near to the pearly gate;
Our guardian spirits watching Ger the land,
Or vestured priests the oracles OF fate.
The sparrow brown on frosty bough doth sit,
His pretty feathers shielding him from cold;
In dove-cotes warm the pigeons coo ann nit,
The white sheep wisttul look from out the
told.
The cold white earth still rests in blissiul
sleep,
The shadows sJumber on the mountain-side;
But through the sky the radiant dawn doth
creep,
Flinging afar her rainbow banners wide.
From royal couch the god OF day draws
near,
The sculptured trees first catch the golden
light;
Beneath his smile the shadows disappear,
The morning breaks and captive leads tho
night. Mary B. Ferry.

Adventures with a Waterspout.

MAJOR II. w. EVerSOn contributes
this thrilling Renaissance of the civil
war to the columns of the Philadelphia
Times: Toward the close of the war it
became necessary on account of the lack
of capacity in the general hospital Tor
onteterates-which was located on the
extremity of the Point-to place many of
the sick prisoners in seven large frame
buildings erected for that purpose within
the pen. A startling event connected
with those buildings is in order of record
here. 1t was just after the dawn of day
when l strolled out of my quarters on
the margin OF the bay to find relief in
the sea air from the oppressiveness of
an usually sultry night. 1t was at once
evident from the peculiar atmosphere
and death-like, indescribable stiffness
that something out of the usual routine
was near at hand. Soon there was
heard q rumbhng, roaring and Kissing
sound. Looking across the Potomac
about eight miles distant, the cause, in
an alarming shape, was discovered in
huge waterspout attached to a large,
angry cyclone, in form like the placing
of the nozzles OF two tunnels together.
1t was making its way from the Vir-
ginia shore diagonally toward the prison
inclosure.
About mile out was anchored the
-turreted monitor Roanoke, one of
the largest in the service-the frigate
of that name raz3ed-and carrying an
armament of one fi(teen-inch and two
eleven inch guns. On came the monster
of wind and water, presenting an appear
ance never to be forgotten, the hideous
seething increasing as it advanced. The
destruction of the Roanoke appeared to
be inevitable; her fate hung, as it were,
in the balance, when a curl of smoke
was seen to Puff out from the center and
largest turret. The fifteen-inch shell
shattered the waterspout, and the huge
tornado, like a liberated balloon, shot
upward with lightning rapidity high in
the heavens. Then with equal velocity
it plunged downward. striking ana
wrecking the large commissary building
near the river, and carrying everything
before it at the dock as if it were so
much chaff in September gale, includ-
ing sentry boxes. in which one soldier
was killed and two others manoled by
being hurled many rods distance. Mount
ing in the air again in less time than it
requires to record it, the cyclone descend
ed TO all appearances squarely down
among the hospital buildings in the
prison camp. By singular freak, and
fortunately, it struck the only building
of the seven " hich was not occupied by
the sick, and which was used for the
storing of clothing and other materials.
This the cyclone carried out in the bay
in the twinkling of an eye, so to speak,
taking it as clean to the ground, stills and
flooring, az if the boards and timbers
had been sawed off. Neither were there
seen of it afterward board or other
article.
This escape from a frightful disaster
was almost miraculous, and the degree
of readiness with which the closely and
long-contined prisoners viewed their
escape as an interposition of Divine
Providence may readily be excused.

THE LAST LOVE.

Wilhelm Ecsburger was great mus
cular fellow of the village of A.
in Prussia, and an accomplished dan Ger
and swordsman. He had. however, &C.
commodated himself to the compare
lively sleepy valley in which he lived,
and needed waking up. His father, with
an old crony and partner, Hans Hofer-
dahl, had made and mended watches in
the old, dingy shop, where their fathers
had filed and hammered before them.
Their life was about as unvarying as the
f1at-faced timepiece behind the cobwebs
in the show window.
1t CHANGED that various ripp.es were
beginning to come into the valley to
disturb the course of nature. 1t was
rumored that the king was preparing tor
war, and such young men as Wilhelm
would be needed for the army. Be-
sides this, old Hans had caught the emil
grafton fever to America, and had sold
whatever he had to sell. except his big
pipe, his flute, and his daughter Chris
tine. He sold his share in his shop to
Wilhelm's father. Christine wept at
the departure. fer the old village hac
been very dear to her, and her mother s
grave was there. The effect on Will
hem was such that he rubbed his great
black eyes, ard could scarcely realize
that the whole thing was else than q
dream. Pretty soon, however, Will
helms eyes took note of gloomy Diff
ference in the ways of his father. The
old man came to neglect his pipe, his
beer and his work, and the neighbors
said that Hans Hoferdahl had broken
his old friends heart by going away.
The poor old man soon died.
To Wilhelm. after his fathers death,
the shop and everything in it became
distasteful. He tried to work, but the
very ticking of the watches was insuffer-
ably oppressive, and the absence of the
two old men rendered confinement to
the place insuppcrtable. Wilhelm him
self made sale of both house and shop,
and when the GALES were all completed,
and the transfers duly made, he stood
in the moonlight one evening, and gaz.
ing at the home no longer his, solilo-
dized thus:
81 think l could almost break my
heart, for did love that house. But l
couldn't stay there with the empty
places. There were too many voices
there that didn't speak. Alas! what
shall I do now?'
His question was answered for him.
Napoleon had determined, in his old
age, that he must fight the Germans, and
the king had made his call for troops.
Wilhelm was sure he loved his 8 Vader-
land, and so was ready to leave the
sleepy old village, but not without sad
ness, for he had been so long in that
locality that it was not surprising he
had learned to love it.
There followed swift marching, COM
fortress camping and good deal of very
hard fighting. Being big and strong
and brave, and every day growing more
and more intelligent, Wilhelm himself
won glory-that is, three OF tour slight
wounds, medal, promotion, the COM
pliinents of his commanding officer and
the envy of his comrades. The war was
brief, and before great while he found
himself his own master again, though
still within the scope and control OF
army regulations, for no German OF VIII
helms age is ever beyond them, and he
said to himself:

he has supported 1t because he thought
there was room in Wilmington for q

can the Every Evening claim to be
sueh' We admire consistency, but
when paper protesting TO be inde-
pendent has shown itself 80 bitterly
partisan as the Every Evening has re-
GENTLY done, we must modify our
confidence In its pretensions to very
great degree. How does 1t come that
80 many of the professedly independ
ent papers of the country lean over
entirely to the Democratic side Are
they sailing under false colors and
thus seeking to deceive the people
What will the great editor at Fifth
and Market streets do now, since the
Harmony Legion has come and gone
without shedding the blood of our
peaceful citizens! What a pity he
didn't incits them to riot in order to
establish his reputation as a prophet.
Dire scenes were predicted as the re.
suit of their being brought to our city,
but 1t seems that these so-oalled roughs
behaved themselves like gentlemen.
Why should this truthful and high
minded editor have had US all trem-
bling in our boots at the sight Of this
bloody legion He must be careful
about giving the people Of Wilmington
such another scare. Since the danger
has passed, he should take some sooth-
ing syrup TO quiet his nerves. The
worst alta that was ever made upon
the Harmony Legion has been mads in
the editorials Of the Every Evening,
and yet they did not think worth while
to resent it. A man who is so confused
in his moral and political ideas as not
to know the difference between par

not likely to perceive the distinction
between "roughs'' and gentlemen.

Kenward Philip, oae of the editors Of

He was arraigned at three o'clock in the
afternoon before Chief Justice Noah

counsel, General Roger A. Pryor, OBJ
jected to ths prosecution reading affida-
Wits on which the order Of arrest was
obtained, but the Judge overruled the
objection. District Attorney Bell then
read an affidavit by Colonel George
Bliss, who testified that he had exam
ined the fac simile copy OF the letter
with others in his possession from Gen.
eral Garfield, and declared it forgery;
that he compared the photolithograpic
copy Of the letter with writings Of the
accused, and on information and belief
thought he was the author of Il. All.

Anotion was then made to have the
