YESTERDAY WAS SPENT in Congress
in fruitless wrangle over the Maokey-
Dibble contested election case but the
Democrats could offer no further In
pediments than the making Of long
speeches going around Robin Hoods
barn for IN issue, and speaking upon
every conceivable subject .Mr. Davis OF
Missouri made q political oration and
Mr.. Paul of Virginia defended Read
juster policy in Virginia. Mr.. Carlile
of Kentucky decided that his State was
the only one that squarely paid its
debts. MI. White the only Republican
member from that state reminded his
colleague that some ofthe counties In the
State had repudiatei their obligations.
Tillmsn of South Carolin thought
that his state was the only honest state
and was paying off the Republican
debt. The question at issue was
whether Mr.. Makey or Mr.. Dibble was
entitled to seat in the House. 1t Is
dffi,ult to see and understand what
debt Lad to do with the question
But then We are not . Congressman.

THE turn out yesterday was worthy
CT the occasion and the day, but it Is to
be regretted that both parades could
not have been combined in one. Had
this been the case the display would
have been as imposing as upon any
former occasion. The military made
a very creditable appearance and their
correct marching and evolutions called
forth the warmest expressions of praise
The X. of P. Battalion looked fine and
marched splendidly. The old veterans
many of them grizzled and gray, limp
ing and halting, marched with firm
and steady tread to the tap of the drum
as if they had caught the inspiration Of
the past, and were about going to bat
tie once more. The greatest drawback
to the occasion was the want of flowers
without which soldiers feel as if there
could be no decoration.

FROM all over the city comes the news
that the nominees Of Democracy are at
their usual degrading work of fixing up
voters, to vote next Saturday. There
are but few men of the Democratic
faith who have not been approached in
some manner and if they we're not "all
righs' they were promised to be made
right if only they would 60 to the polls
and vote. 1t behooves the Republicans
to be on the alert aud not allow them
selves to be cheated, brow. beaten and
outvoted by gangs of illegal voters, and
also gangs of Baltimore and Philadel.
phia repeaters, who already swarm our
streets and fill up the low dens of vice
in the Southern part of the city. Every
Republican must become personal
detective, to watch the wretches who
are paid out of the Democratic corrup
ton fund to intimidate voters and stuff
the ballot boxes.

The Jewel Cask ct.

During the reign Of John VI, of Por-
tugal, somewhere in the early part OF
the present century, a poor widow had
been allowed to make home tor her
self and three children in the porch OF
a building which had been scattered
by the terrible earthquake of 1755. 1t
was in district of the ruined portion
Of the city which had not yet been re-
built. When the widow had been a
year or thereabouts, in her poor porch,
and had succeeded in making it quite
comfortable, she one day made her
appearance in court, desiring to see the
king. But she did not see him.
Day after day she applied, always
with something neatly secured in a GOV.
ering of cotton cloth under her arm.
She refused to give her errand, save to
the king and in person; and day after
day was she turned away bootless.
At length fortune favored her. She
had entered within the palace gates, and
saw the king crossing the court, com.
ing in her direction.
She waited until he was near and
then sprang forward, and threw herself
upon her knees at his feet. AS she did
so she cast off the covering from the
parcel which she bore, exposing a
quaint old casket of ebony and gold,
richly embossed and elegantly orna-
mented.
"Sire," she said, "behold what l
have discovered among the rubish of
the ruined edifce, portion of which
1 have been permitted to inhabit. l
am poor widow with three young
children depending upon me for sup
port, yet have not dared to pry into
this sacred treasure, nor have l been
willing tocive it into other hands than
your own. l have been we'll assured
that the contents of this casket would
relieve me forever from want, but l
cannot give away my honor even for
so great prize. Take it, sire, and if
you think me worthy of remuneration
| shall thankfully accept it."
Tho king called an expert, and had
the casket opened. 1t was found to
have belonged to one Of the most no.
blest and most wealthy families of
former generation, the represen tatives
of which were still living in Lisbon.
Its contents were jewels Of wondrous
value, and entirely nninjured. One set
of diamonds alone were estimated to
be worth more than fifty thousand
crowns.
The true owners of the casket we're
found and the poor widow in addition
to the royal blessing, which she held
above all price, was presented with the
sum of twenty thousand piastres.

IT will do no harm for Mayor ALL
mond to read to the police the laws
regulating elections, and impress upon
their minds that they are conservators
of the peace and not politicians, that
their duty is to prevent breaches of the
peace, not to prevent peaceable and
qualified citizens from voting and in
every way to aid in securing an honest
election more than to debauch the bal

disfranchisemen of Republican voters
in which he was largely instrumental,

also is DR.. John p. Wales, candidate
for the same office. As we have already
said he has never held civil office and
is now candidate by no volition Of
his own. except to accept the candidacy
when offered to him. Which will the
people choose: politician fresh from
the lowest slums of political dicksr and
trade, or citizen that never held an
office and mover sought one. 1t is for
the people to choose, choose right.

BOYS WAITING ON BRIDES
A Fashion that Substitutes Eancifull,
Dressed Boys for Maidems.

New York letter In the Wilmington Every Evening.
Boys are the last fashion for brdesmaids-a
statement which, now that it looks up to me
from paper, scarce seems logical. Nevertheless.
you know what mean-that suffices. do not
mean. however. that boys are the only fashion.
but one of the fashions for in the fall epidemic
of weddings peculiar to 1882 no fact shows forth
more plainly that there are many facts, all
equally true. 1t is curious to read in the differ
ent fashion magazines the directions as to out
fits. whether Of the young lady who. according
to Beecher. is about to marry divinity and
sadly thereafter consent to live with man, :" or
of her equally poetic bridesmaids, whether girls
or boys. One says dresses are made simply and
OF one or two materials: another says they are
rich and varied and display combinations of
three or four fabrics. etc Which is right? All.
answer; and great, therefore, is your liberty of
conscience.
But boys should be fancifully dressed as
pages. copied after old pictures. and ungues-
tionably it's the revival Of by-gone ideas that
bring up really pretty thought. Then. too.
the present notable seeking after color has
caused an attiring Of bridesmaids in different
dresses of pronounced hue. such as crimson,
blue. yellow, green, etc. the grouping to imi-
tate old paintings

FROM the ProVlience journal.
About ten o'clock Tuesday evening three per-
sons stood together under gas light on High
street. few doors adjacent was saloon. and
through its half-opened door came snatches Of
coarse laughter and licentious song, interjected
with occasional oaths. OF the three figures
standing near at hand. one was man apparently
OF middle age, well formed. and bearing upon
his bleared and rum-suffused countenance
memories of better days. The other two were
females, apparently his wife and daughter. The
face of the elder woman was pale and anxious,
| while that of the younger was ptiful and sad.
Only fragments of their conversation could be
heard, but it was clearly evident that the wife
| was eagerly implOrng the partially imbruted
husband to go home with them, but he refused.
and tried in maudlin way to induce them to
leave him alone.
| Just then there came merrily trOoping around
corner close at hand group Of young people
of both sexes. who were evidently returning
| from some festival or entertainment. As the
party came into High street. they commenced
singing. crossing the street Their voices, we'll
blended, poured forth a flood of harmony upon
the still night air. and as the group of singers
gradually disappeared in the distance snatches
of melody came floating back upon the ears of
listeners. including the group of three before
referred to. They also ceased talking and lis
tened. The stolid. rum-blotched features of the
waited back to his ear from the increasing dis
lance, growing fainter. then merging in echoes.
and finally ccasing altogether.
What was he thinking Of? What hidden chord
of memory had been thus evoked within him
even through the binding daze of drink. which
held mind and body fast within its clutch? Were
they memories OF the Old-time purer. better
days, when he sat with mother, wife and child
at his own and their tireside. a sober trusted.
self-reliant man? God knoweth! He and the
man himself; but as the fragments of melody
rolled backed upon his awakening Senses they
, awoke other echoes within his soul. echoes of
the past. as he beheld himself now in contrast
with what he had been And without a word
offurther parleying he allowed the two waiting
| ones to slip their arms within his own. and.
quiet as lamb he went with his own flesh to
their home. and the three disappeared into the
shadowy night, he walking uncertainty but ut
terng no word. What had moved him
thus? What was it that had thus touched
his heart with a magicians wand.
causing the unseen tears to surge up within his
SOUL as they had not before. perhaps for years?

merry group was singing Home, Sweet

A Strange Story

Mr.. E. S. Hawks, of Ashfeld, Mass, has given
the Springfield Republican thrilling account of
his experience in South Carolina during a visit
there for sporting purposes. He went to Fort
Mills few days before the election. and having
small keg Of powder for cunning. became an
object of suspicion 1t was reported that he in
tended to stir up negro outbreak and a crowd
collected threatening to hang him. He escaped
by subterfuge, and was hunted with blood
hounds by armed men on horseback but after
suffering great hardships and going for several
days without food, he reached Charlotte. and
found that he had been reported to be insane, a
report which he was persuaded 1t would be i'm
prudent for him to contradict. Even at Char
lOtte he was threatened, but he got away safely.
The friends of Mr.. Hawks assert that he is q
sane man, as well as truthful man.
