The Camden Herald reports the arrest of a
man and wife in that town, who, some time
since, created quite an excitement in Kenne-
bee county, by the theft of valuable cape be-
longing to Miss Nellie It. Bigelow of Augusta
The Herald says:
For week past man-Willis L. Fowler
and wife have been canvasslng this village for
an engraving, entitled Garfield, from the
Cradle to the Grave" They engaged board at
Mr.. Ellison Anniss, on Chestnut street. Sat-
urday, Fowler was presented with bill by
lady who lives in the house, who had done
some work for him, and he was dissatisfied
with the price, using unbecoming language to
the lady. Mr.. Annis was sick in the house,
and was disturbed by their presence John
AnDis. son of Mr.. Annis, was requested to in
form the man that he must get another board
ing place, and he went 10 the mans door and
knocked, telling him that he must find anoth-
er boarding place, as they did not care to board
them any longer, whsreupon Fowler struck
Annis in the face knocking him down FoT-
MIS- and lodged in the lookup, and Monday
morning was brought before Judge Miller on
8 charge aof assault and battery, both parties
being represented by counsel. The plaintiff
presented the above statement as evidence.
Fowler and wife testified that AnRis rushed to
their room, burst the door open, and told them
to "leave the house as quick as God would let
them,' and that he did not strike him, but
pushed him out of the room. Fowler was
found guilty of the charge, and fined $40 and
costs, which he paid. That sbunch of fbres"
that he struck Annis with will probably cost
him about $40.

is nothing to the light that blazes
down on your modern Democrat. His
conversion to the doctrine of personal
rights" is amazingly sudden, if not
miraculous. But he has no concep-
ton of personal wrongs. The only
thought that absorbs his mind now is
that every man has right to do just
what he pleases. Whoever wants to
drink mean whisky and go to drunk
ards hell has right so to do; and the
State has no right to interfere. 1t
may tax itself to educate the boy, in
the hope of making sober and in
dustrious citizen. Of him; but it must
not interfere with the institutions
that make drunkard of him and
harden his heart to commit crime. 1t
may tax itself to maintain courts to
punish criminals, but it must do
nothing to save men from life OF
shame. 1t may tax itself to build
jail and penitentiaries in which to
confine the dangerous classes, but it
must in no case interfere with the in
stitutions whereby men are made dan
gerous. 1t may tax itself to found
asylums, and at enormous expense
areftenderly for him whose reason is
dethroned, but it may not stay the
poisonous and polluted stream whereby
maniacs and devils are made. Out
upon such nonsense! The ethics of
natural and polite law in this nine
teenth century have higher and bet
ter meaning than that. No man has
a right to do as he pleases, unless he
pleases to respect the rights Of his
fellows. No man has a right to make
a drunkard Of himself; nor has any
right to sell his neighbor whisky to
that end. And everybody save the
unthinking and ignorant so under
stand. There are ignorant men whose
wild ideas of liberty mean license of
the most dangerous character But
the public teacher who would use
their ignorance and pander to their
prejudices, for partisan ends, deserves
to be whipped with scorpions. He
comes before society protesting, first
of all, to be the guardian of the pub
lie veal. His mission is to instruct
the ignorant. To use their want of
knowledge for base ends is crime of
the highest magnitude.
But the right will triumph. Meth
er wicked men nor devils can stay the
worlds onward march. The common
sense of the common people is more
than match for ignorance and greed
of gain OH the one hand, and partizan
Zeal and duplicity, on the other.

As the comet approaches nearer the
earth other astronomers will doubtless
map its course, and repeated observa-
tions will modify results. Even if the
figures are at fault in minute particu-
lars, there is every reason to expect
that a comet Of grand and awe-inspir-
ing proportions will in the coming
months span the heavens with its gos-
samer train; that there will be intense
excitement in watching it's near ap-
proach to the sun; that it will be OBJ
served and studied as comet was never
observed and studied before; and that
unless men of science are greatly mis-
taken, it will take rank with the dis

Scientific Advancement.

Scientific advancement, it has been
remarked, has been slower and less
noticeable in the care Of the sick and
the treatment of disease than in any
other department Of human knowl-
edge. The life or death of patient
is too frequently mere matter Of ac-
cident or chance. Some great discov-
cries, however, have been made and
certain remedies are known and used
with almost infallible curative results.
Such remedy is Taraxine where de-
ranged liver is involved, or where dis
eases of the Bowels, Kidneys or Spleen
prevail. For sale by E. d. Lewis.

Democratic DunIicitY.

From week to week during the early
part Of the late session Of the Legisla-
ture Democratic journals all over the
State sought to prejudice the people
against the Republican party, by pre-
dictions that Republican Legisla-
ture would not respond to the popu-
lar demand for temperance legisla-
ton. They would gladly have made
the people believe that he Democratic
party was the only party that favored
such legislation. They said over and
over again that Republicans had
sought to deceive the temperance folk
that they had given pledge which
they dare not keep. They were ready
to embrace the temperance people and
shed tears with them over the duplic-
ity of Republicans, But they walked
up enc morning TO find themselves
confronted by the Pond law, and then
what change! They at once en-
twined their arms around the necks
Of the poor whisky seller, and bewail-
cd the wickedness Of sumptuary legls-
iation. What sublime spectacle it
is to see these fellows. who have spent
their lives swearing that slavery was
the normal condition of the black
man, and that lie had no rights that a
white man was bound to respect, rush
to the front now 10 yindicate the per-
sonal rights Of the whisky seller and
the drunkard,- the one to take from
his miserable victim the last penny Of
his earnings, the other to give for
mean whisky that which should have
been exchanged for bread to feed his
haggard and heart-broken wife and
starving children. Whoever before
saw such an exhibition of Christian
philanthrophy and brotherly love,
Only think OF Licking county Dem

Two Wife MurdererS.

James Stewart, who is charged with
beating his wife, Rosanna Stewart, to
death on April 12, was taken before
Coroner Brady yesterday. He is a
street pavero'and lived at Seventy-sec-
ond-st. and First-ave. He has a coarse,
brutal face. The principal witness
was Jane Kenehan, a sister of the
murdered woman. She testified that
the prisoners oldest boy came to her
house at II o'clock at night, and said
that his father was beating his mother
to death. When she ran to the house
she found her sister lying on the floor
bruised and bleeding and in an uncon-
scious condition. As she entered the
room she saw Stewart kick the pros
trate woman on the head. John Ken
chan, a son Of the accused man, said
that he saw his father beating his
mother and ran to tell his aunt. His
father and mother were frequently
drunk, and when in this condition
they always quarFeled. They were
both drunk at the time Of the beating.
The jury brought in verdict in effect
that Mrs. Stewart came to her death
by injuries inflicted by her husband.
The prisoner was held in $4,000 bail.
The case of John Lennon, the tailor
who killed his wife at No. 406 East
Tenth-st., on April IS, was next in
vestigated. The knife was shown the
jury with which he stabbed and cut
his victim twenty-five times. The
jury returned verdict that Mrs. Len
non came to her death from injuries
inflicted by her husband.-N Y. Tri-

Jealousy.

Some poet has said that 'All tor
ments of the damned we find in only
thee, Oh Jealousy, thou tyrant of the
mind" This is grandly sweeping and
magnifcently inaccurate. Any suf-
ferer from Indigestion knows to the
contrary. Indigestion the villain of
the tragedy played among the gastric
juices Of the stomach can, and does
double discount the horrors of jeal-
ousy. Jealousy is often an attendant
upon the latter, and when Indigestion
is removed this jaundiced companion
of deranged liver flies. Taraxine is
the bestknown remedy extant for i'm
paired digestion, deranged liver, and
diseases of the bowels and kidneys.

THE PURITAN srAIDEN,s MAY-DAY.

A.D..l6S6.
An. well-a-day! The grandames say
That they had merry times
When they were young, and gaily rung
The May-day morning chimes;
Before the dark was gone, the lark
Had left her grassy nest.
And soaring high, set all the sky
A-throb from east to west.
The hawthorn bloom with rich perfume
Was whitening English lanes,
The dewy air was everywhere
Alive With May-day strains;
And laughing girls with tangled curls
And eyes that cleaned and glanced,
And ruddy boys with mirth and noise,
Around the May-pole danced.
All me, the sight of such delight,
The joy, the whirl, the din,
Such merriment, such glad content
How could it be sin
When children crowned the May-pole round
With daisies from the sod,
What was it pray, but their child's way
OF giving thanks to God?
The wild bee sups from butter cups
The honey at the brim;
May not take their buds and make
n posy up for Him!
This May-day cool and bright, ''0'
And see away on Boston Bay
The lines of shimmering light,
1 gather there great punches fair
of May flower as | roam,
And With them round my forehead crowned
Go ladened with them home.
And then, if Bess and should dress
A May-pole with wreath,
And just for play, this holiday,
Should dare to dance beneath,
My fathers brow would frown enow:
-"Chiidi a1hB hast thou a mind
For POpiSh days, and English 1cdyS,
find tasts UcUc left 6ehIHd?''
Our grandame says that her AIay-days,
With mirth, and song, and flowers,
And Tilt of rh ymes and village chimes,
Were happier far than ours.
If as ween, upon the green
She danced with merry din,
Yet lived to be the saint l see,
How can count it sin?

extraordinary case Of superstition is
reported. The wife Of a workingman
became n entally affected, and was re-
moved to a lunatic asylum. Immedi-

stated that she was bewitched, and
the following mode Of removing the
spell was proposed to the husband
First he must stick large number Of
pins in an animals heart. which in
the dead Of night was to be roasted
before a quick fire, the revolutions of
the heart to be as regular as possible.
After roasting, the heart was to be
placed in the chimney. and left there,
the belief being that, as the heart
rotted away, SO would the heart Of
the witch rot, and the bewitched.
would be released from the power of
her enemy.
