Singular Death on the Rail.

An unknown tramp was killed on the
Baltimore & Ohio railroad near Laurel,
Nd. Wednesday, under the most tragic-
cahcircumstaaces. He attempted to cross
i'll front OF an express train, going thirty
five miles an hour, when he slipped and
fell. Leaping to his feet and seeing the
train almost ON him he los. his presence
of mind and jumped directly at the cow
catcher. He was struck with terrific force
and thrown upwards. his body falling on
the cab of the locomotive, where, in 4
half unconscious state he hung for several
minutes, when he relaxed his hold and
fell between the cars. The entire train Of
ten coaches passed over his body. which
was literally ground to pieces and strewn
along the roadbed for over i mile. There
was not enough of the remains found t"
hold an inquest ON.

SNELHANER'S MAJESTICS.

The isest Variety Show of the Season.
Last evening Srelbakcr's Majestic Con-
soli,!a:iOn drew an immense audience to the
opera house, which Was packed in every
part, many people ceing obliged to stand
during the entire evening, No show Of
the kind that has ever been here left 4 bet
ter impression. The company includes
forty or fifty people, among the number
being many artists who stand in the front
rank OF their profession.
The curtain arose at 8 o'clock and it did
not fall uu.il the close. Tho show opened
with sketch, after which GOldie and
Steel appeared i'm their break neck songs
and dances, which pleased all, and they
were several times recalled. Following
these gentlemen Il triple performance was
given, in which Sallic st. Clair danced
Jig, Karsby OrIay juggle.l, and Little All
Right, the japanese, did Il balancing act.
Miss Lou Sandford, a pretty women, sang
several songs in good style, and was fol-
lowed by Ma.ee and Allen, in the very
amusing act entitled '.The Men of Nerve,''
Press Eldridsc, the stump speaker, who
has been here before, received 4 warm
welcome, which his performance deserved

during the whole of his life. He is the
constructor and owner Of large number
of figures. Mrs. TILL who is known pro-
fession,lly as Miss Lon Sandcrson, is the
grand daughter Of all old mariOnettae
worker of England, and she is said to be
the only lady before the public who un-
derstands manipulating the figures. Mag

several songs. The performance of the
Clipper quartettc was amusing and their

gave an excellent statue clog. They are
artists Of ability and there are few better

audience. With notllin. in his hand but
an umbrella he walked backwards to the
top of the gallery on Il rope, which was
stretched from there to the orchestra box.

WE do not share the apprehension of
our esteemed contemporary, the Cham
bersburg Valley Spirit, that unless the
Democrats at Harrisburg make terms
with the Cameron faction they will be
utterly crushed out in the apportionment,
which, the Talley Spirit assumes, is en-
tirely within the control Of that element
of the Republican party. 1t seems to
forget that the Democrats and anti-cau-
Gus Republicans constitute a lIajority of
the Legislature as we'll as the Democrats
and caucus Republicans, and that any
policy which blocks the election of a
" machine " candidate for the Senate
just as effectuaily recommends fair ap-
portionment to the independent Repnbli-
cans, as the contrary policy is likely to Sc.
cure such an apportionment from the
regulars.
The Democrats have been left to the
tender mercies of the Cameron faction
before now in the apportionment and
have been gerrymandered out of their
just representation. If they are disposed
to do this they will do it again. If they
would cheat the people out of their just
rights they would cheat the party in any
trade made with them. The Republicans
will 60 just rs far in this direction as
they dare go they know there is a lim'
it,. We have no fear that a Democratic
Congress will allow any scheme of appor.
tionment, to pass which would render
possible the election of solid Republican
delegation from Pennsylvania. The
Democracy will do we'll to not allow
themselves to be scared into a trade,
whatever other consideration may i'm.

THERE is a promise of deficiency of
about ten million dollars in the finances of

reason is that the department is compelled

THE recent sale in the Jersey Isles of
four fine COWS to America, at ABOUT $1,000
each, has startled the Channel Island
world. The farmers were just beginning
to get used to some OF the high prices at
the recent sale of Mr.. Kent at Herkness' S,
wien the news Of this comes upon them,
and they are fairly wild about it. Mr.
Willis P. Hazard. Of Chester county. who
is in Guernsey now, writes. ''In our visit
to view the cattle, they seem afraid to
name prices for fear they will not be high
enough; and when named, they are so
high that, with the increased cost OF ship
ping now ruling, it is almost pTohibitory
to further shipments. The only way will
be to let them severely alone for while,
until they find buyers are not rushing in
quite SO freely as they imagine. But in
the meanwhile we would advise the secur-
ing Of all the good cattle offered at any
coming sales, at advanced prices, for Jer-
ser and Guernsey stock is going to be
scarce and dear. Insurance companies
have put up the rates to 10 per cent! And
companies refuse to carry any
more cattle, at least to Philadelphia, as
emigrants pay better"

tions, which affects the administration O
justice.
1t is important tojustice as we'll as tt
the honor and dignity of the court that i:
give its endorsement to no man unworthy
of public confidence and trust ; therefore,
it is breach Of fidelity in the attorney to
obtain endorsement by the suppression OF
facts knowledge Of which would have
caused it to be withheld. But it is equally
important tojustice and the honor of the
court, that when an attorney becomes un-
worthy of that endorsement it be with
drawn therefore, it is breach of fidelity
in attorneys to withhold from the court OF
suppress information of facts which would
cause that endorsement to be withdrawn.
To hold to the contrary is simply to say
that a servant may withhold information
that villain has poisoned his masters
breakfast and still be faithful.
Thus far we have looked chiefly at that
aspect Of the question which touches the
duty Of the bar to the court. When We
consider the other, not less important, as
pect touching the duty of the bar to them
selves, it becomes equally obvious that
very high obligation rests upon the bar to
their own honor and maintain
their own purity. The language of Judge
Agnew in the opinion Of the supreme court
n the Dickens case, is as follows: "In-
egrity as well as skill and learning is es-
;ential to the character of the profession,
md it becomes the duty OF the bench,

preserve that character in its highest state

Respect Women.

There is nothing manly, my dear
boys IL making light Of women. For
your mothers sake, honor the sex.
Never use a lady's name in an improp-
er place, or at any improper time, or
in mixed company. Never make as-
sertions about her that you think are
untrue, illusions that you feel she her
self would blush to hear. When you
meet with men who DO not scruple to
make use Of woman's name in
reckless and unprincipled manner,
shun them, for they are the very worst
members Of the community-men lost
to every sense Of honor, every feeling
Of humanity. Many a good and
worthy Eoman's character has been
forever ruined and her heart broken
by lie, concocted by an unprincipled
william, but believed by people Of good
principles who are too ready to believe
SANDER or condemn imprudence and
crime. The smallest thing derogatory
to a woman's character will fly on the
wings Of the Wind, aud magnify as it
circulates, until its weight crushes the
poor unconscious victim. Remember
this if you are tempted 10 repeat or
listen TO scandalous lie.
