The evening light. [volume] (San Antonio, Tex.) 1881-1883, 1882-05-31

An old lady, who was in the habit of de-
claring, after the occurrence of any event. that
she predicted it. was one day cleverly ''sold''
by her worthy spouse, who, like many others
we wot of, had got tired of hearing her eternal
81 told you So" Rushing into the house;
breathless with excitement, he dropped into
chair, elevated his hands and exclaimed |:
"Oh, my dear, what do you Think The
old COW has gone and eaten up our grind
stone! The old lady was ready, and, hard
ly waiting to hear the last word, she screamed
out at the top, OF her lungs: 81 told you so
l told you SO, You always would let Il stand
out O. doors.'

About 1, 100000 sacks of potatoes, contain
ing an average of three bushels each, have
been imported into the city of New York dur.
ing the past month. They fetch about two
thirds of the price asked for those of home
production, for the reason that when cooked
they present a yellowish appearance. This of
course is simply matter of education, as in
England the potatoes from the continent are
in great demand and the color is not objected
to in the least. 1t is claimed by many that
they are more highly favored and more nutri-
tious than the white varieties.

WOMEN AND WHISTLING.

If the mere act of whistling can
help and cheer man SD much, why
should 1t be denied 10 woman? If
whistiing will drive away the blues
and he company for lonesome
person. surely women have much
more need of its services than their
brothers, for to them come many
more such occasions than to men.
There are MANY who have not The
gift OF Song. Why shonld they not
whistle as they rock the cradle or
perform their hous, hold duties or
acc"n,pany themselves on the pianop
bnt there is n, physical or hyeienic
advantage i'll whistling which
should excnse it against all the
eanons of propriety or good form"
IL Is often remarked that the
average girl is sc narrow chested.
and IN that respect compares SO un-
favorably with her brother. Nav
THIS net be due IN some measure TO
the habit OF whistIing which every
boy acquires as soon ae he arrives
ut the dignity of pants. and girls
seldom do? Let anv one try, for
hive minutes. the inhaling and ex-
hallng of the breath as it occurs in
the act of whisting, and the effect
uh the lungs aud chest cannot fail
to he noticed. A daily practice of
this kind would be of more benefit
than all the patent inspirators and
chest expanders in the market.

How The DorroR Cor EVEN
The late DIR. c., of Ashtabula, used
IN the early days to take long rides
through the wilds of Ohio. One
day he stopped at an old-fasbioned
tavern and called for dinner.
Among the bomespun dainties
WAS glass of whisky beside his
plate, which he did not trouble.
After dlnner. when paying his bill,
the landlord said:
TWENTY-FIVE cents for whisky"
(which l did not touch, and
never do, said the doctor.
We'll. it was there, and Won
could have had it," replied the
landlord.
The doctor said no more, paid
his bill and left.
Calling again, not long after. il
Was noticed that tie doctor, upon
sitting down to dine. placed his
inedicine case upon the table. How
ever, nothing was said mt the time.
When ne went to pay his bill he
brought IN one dollar tor medicine
and advice.
but have had no medicine
said the landlord,
Very well, replied the doctor
1t was on the table, and you could
have hal 1t; and | also gave Won
good advice all the while I Was at
the table"
The host then squared accounts.

Tammany's Alliance With Republicans.

. The New York World, in an editorial
on the alliance of the republican mem
bers of the New York legislature with
the Tammany faction, says:
Now that an alliance has been openly
formed between the republicans and the
Tammany men in both houses the demo.
cratic party is distinctly relieved of the
odium of Tammany, which the republican
party as distinctly assumes. The demo.
Gratis are in fact in minority in both
houses, and there is no reason why they
should not confess themselves to be in a
minority. 1t is certain beforehand that
with party of Tammany strikers hold
ing the balance of power in each house
the legislation Of the session cannot be
such as will do credit to any party. Hos.
kins, who is probably the most absurd
person who ever became lieutenant gov
ernor Of New York, has no more charac.
ter than he has intelligence, and even il
he were untrammelled in the choice of
his committees, would be sure to make a
disreputable use of the power of naming
the committees. Now that he is ham,
pered by an additional obligation to take
care of the Tammany men the senate will
be about as badly organized as it can be.
and the less the legislature does the less
mischief it will do. The responsibility
for whatever mischief it does was yester.
day assumed by the republicans in ex-
change for the patronage involved in
the appointment of the clerks and door,
keepers and stokers and orderlies of the
legislature. They have sold themselves
extremely cheap. and the democrats have
had a lucky escape"

POLITICAL.
THE PHILADELPHIA MUNICIPAL ELECTION.

THE PHILADELPHIA MUNICIPAL ELECTION.
PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 21.-Great interest
was taken in the municipal election to-
day. The Citizens Committee of One
Hundred made no nominations but en-.
dorsed some Democratic and some Repub-
iican candidates and for Police Magis-
trate, the leading office, the candidates
were James L Brown, Republican, and
VIM. Elsenbrown, Democrat. The latter
was endorsed by the Committee of One
Hundred, who also favored the election
of eight Democrats and four Republicans
to the Select Council and twenty.four
Democrats and eighteen Republicans to
the Common Council.
The voting was light on account of
rainy weather, but complete returns
show decided victory for the Citizens
Committee, whose candidates were elect
ed in every ward, Ten Democrats and
two Republicans are elected to Select
Council and twenty-three Democrats and
nineteen Republicans are elected to the
Common Council. Counting the hold
over members, this result reduces the
Republican majority in the Select Coun.
Gil to six, and in the Common Council to
twenty-three.
Brown, Republican, is elected Police
Magistrate by 800 majority out of total
vote of 1140C0.

DANCING.
What an Educational Journal Thinks
OF the Practice.

The New York Journal of Education
makes the following assertion about dan.
cling. from its point of view:
l. The Chief of Police of New York
City says that three fourths Of the aban'
doned girls in that city were ruined by
dancing.
2. Young ladies allow gentlemen PRIV
ileges in dancing. which. under other cir.
cumstances, would be considered i'm.
proper.
3. 1t requires neither brains nor good
morals TO be good dancer.
4. 1t asks how many of the best men
and women are skillful dancers.
D. In ancient times the sexes danced
separately. Alcohol is the spirit of bev-
eraees, so sex is the spirit of the dance.
Take it away, and let the sexes dance
separately. and dancing would go out of
fashion very soon.
9. Parlor dancing is dangerous. Tip
pling leads to drunkenness, and parlor
dancing leads to ungodly balls Tipping
and parlor dancing both SOW the wind,
and both reap the whirlwind.
z. Put dancing in the crucible, apply
the acids, weight it, and the verdict of
morality and reason and religion is
weighed in the balance, and found
wanting
II the secular press speaks out so strong
ly, what may we expect of the religious
presS?"

Court in Banc.

Several persons wish to know the
character of the 'court in banc" to which
the Guiteau case will probably be appeal
ed, and the meaning of the term "banc. "
The judicial affairs of the District of
Columbia are in the hands of Chief JUS
tice and five Associate Justices. These
sitting separately, have jurisdiction
generally similar to that of common
please judges in the several States. Sitt-
ing together, or in "banc," as the Supreme
Court of the District in general term, it
has jurisdiction analogous to that of a
State Supreme Court. passing on points of
law raised in cases decided by the indi-
vidual judges when sitting in the subor-
dinate courts.
"Banc," brought into legal language
from the French, means "bench, :" and
comes to us from English law. 'Banc
Regis" was the title of the Kings bench,
which was above all other courts and ap-
peal to which was final. The "court in
banc" therefore means the Supreme
Court of the District in full bench. The
members of that court are Chief Justice
d. K. Carter, and Associate Justices
Andrew Wylie, Arthur Macarthur,
Alexander B. Hagner, Walter S. Cox and
Charles P. James.

A Picture Worth BehOlding.

Hanging between two small windows,
and catching the light from larger one
opposite, in one of the offices of Adams
Express Company, at SO Broadway New
York-the Office occupied by Mr.. w. III.
Hall, head of the delivery department
is plainly finished but nea tly framed
chrome about ~ by feet in size, which
is looked upon by hundreds of people
daily, on many of whom it has won
derful and saIutary effect. 1t represents
flight of half dozen rough stone steps
leading from the swarded bank of pla-
cid lake to little rustic temple set in the
rugged side of the mountain which rises
in stupendous proportions in the
background all covered with a rank lux
uriant growth of foliage in brush and
tree. In the open door of this little tenn
pie stands half concealed figur e, with
arm and hand extended, holding forth
small. dimlv defined package, while
seated on the sward at the foot of the
steps an aged pilgrim, barefooted, lame
and decrepid, bears staff in one hand,
eyes small bottle, whose label he eager
ly scans. This label bears the words
''St. Jabobs Oil the Great German Re-
medy." Simple as this little chrome ap"
pears in its unostentatious position, it
has an influence which it would be diff
cult to estimate. 1T is to that picture
and the persuasions of Mr.. Hail." said
Mr.. Edward j. Douglass, a gentleman
connected with Mr.. Halls department,
"that owe my present ability to per-
form my work." Some weeks ago was
violently attacked with sciatic rheuma-
tism, and hour by hour grew worse,
and nothing my family or the doctor
could do gave me any relief. began'te
think in few days that my case was
hopeless and that was doomed to be an
invalid and helpless cripple for life.
But at last thought of that picture
which I had so often looked at with but
little interest, and then Mr.. Hall came to
nv bedside, and telling me how ST..
Jacobs Oil had cured him of worse and
longer standing case than mine. urged
me to use the same remedy. dld so
that very night, directing my wite.not
to spare it but to apply it thoroughly &C.
cording to the directions; this she did
with large piece of flannel cloth satur-
ated with the OIL and then bound the
cloth to the affected parts. The next
morning was free from pain, and az
though little sore in the hip, was able to
dress myself, and the next day, resumed
my duties in the Office as sound as a do!
lar. Here I am now in full health and
strength, having had no touch of rheu,,
matism or other pain since. Whenever
see one of our drivers or any other per
son who shows any symptoms OF lame
ness or stiffness, point him to the pic
ture in Mr.. Halls office, and tsen direo1
him to go for st. Jacobs Oil at once, ~
