The Wrong Man.

lie was peaccahlc looking man,
with a quiet looking horse attached 10
an unatiractive sleigh. with unostenta.
tious bells. He wore widermmcd

easily down the South Easton hill,
iourneying from Bucks county 10 the
land OF Northampton.
He WAS observed by a fellow Of the
species rough, whom much loafng had
made impudent, and who lifted up his
yavp with:
"Sa.a.y. hat where are you going

slammed him down among the straw,
where he got tramped on by a pair Of
number thirteen cowhides until he
thought he had been caught out in a
shower Of pile-drivers. Finally, he got
a kick that lifted him clear over the
side Of the sleigh and ran his head into
the bank by the roadside, where he
dwindled down into a heap like a cheap
gum shoe discouraged by street car,
and murmured, as be rubbed his ensan.

4 Beggar Who Owns Farm at Fort
Washington.

Antonio Oidilla. blind Italian, keeps
a small shop at No. 720 South seventh
street, Philadelphia, where he sells gro.
ceries and fruit. lie also derives large
income by begging, being led about on
his missions for aims by his wife. He
is also quite a capitalist, and, besides
several thousand dollars slowed away in
savings banks, he owns a large and pro.
ductive farm near Fort Washington.
The farm is over two hundred acres in
size. and on it there is a we'll arranged
and two amply stored barns containing
cattle and agricultural implements.
Adjoining is the stable in which are
sheltered three or four horses belonging
to the blind beggar on Seventh street
The farm is in charge of Oidilla's wife's
brother, and two of the blind mans
soma aid their uncle in the management
of the place. IL is stated that when
warm weather arrives every year, 0idilla
disappears from his haunts in the city,
and donning clean and well fitting
suit of clothing, in the company Of his
wife and children, passes the heated
season surrounded by the fragrant odors
of pure Montgomery county breezes
blown across his own field and orchard.

Those Democratic Blunders.

Our Independent contemporaries are
in the habit of ascribing all the de-
feats of the Democratic party whether
the result of frauds upon the ballot,
or the combination of wealth and the
purchase of States, to Democratic
blunders. The Harrisburg Patriot hits
off this class of oracles as follows:
"The oracular journals whose forecast
of future events is always prudently
qualified with an 'if'' or "but" vouch.
safe US the prediction that the Demo.
crats of Pennsylvania will probably
score a victory this year If they do net
commit their usual blunders.' Nothing
succeeds like success and because the
Democrats have not succeeded, the
oracular journals Aippantly speak OF
past Democratic campaigns, as 'blund.
ers.' Let US see about this. In 1869
the Democrats OF Pennsylvania elected
Judge Packer Governor, but he was
counted out in Philadelphia. This fact
has been admitted by some of the orac-
ular journals. In 1872 the Democracy
OF the Union took the advice OF certain
oracular journalists and nominated
Horace Greeley for President. That
was a 'blunder' of the oracular journal.
lists rather than a mistake of the De
mocracy. In 1876 the Democrats elect
ed Samuel j. Tilden to the presidency,
but he was swindled out of the Office by
the Louisiana and Florida returning
boards. Probably that was another
Democratic 'blunder.' The Democrats
should have sent some of the oracular
journalists to New Orleans TO prevent
Kellogg, Wells and Anderson from ma.
nipulating the returns. In 1878 Hoyt
was elected Governor over Dill by the
expenditure Of quarter of a million OF
dollars with deficit of forty thousand
dollars in the treasury OF the Republi-
can State committee. OF course the
Democrats 'blundered' again in failing
to raise a corruption fund sufficient to
control the political market. In 1850
Garfield defeated Hancock through the
purchase OF Indiana by Dorsey, Brady
/ Co. This capped the climax Of Dem.
ocratic 'blunders' II only the Democ.
racy had poured enough money into
Indiana to have check mated the cor.
ruptions of the Star route politicians,
all would have been WELL But in spite
of the sneers of the oracular journals
the Democrats are inclined to congratu-
late themselves on the fact that they
did not undertake to compete with the
Republicans in their peculiar method
of carrying elections. They are con.
tent 10 be regarded a. blunderers who
cannot learn the Republican art Of pol
luting the suffrage with bribery and
fraud.

WASHINGTON, May lit is reported
on apparently good authority that the
House Judiciary Committee have agreed
to report against the enforcement Of
the forfeiture Of the lApsed land grants
Of the various Pacific railroads, meaning
the Northern Pacific, Atlantic and Pa.
cifo, and Texas Pacific. Special care
has been taken that the proceedings in
committee shall be kept secret. and lit.
tie can be learned Of the considerations
that led to this dicision further than
that as it was represented that con.
struction had been undertaken and was
progressing in good faith, and that the
saving clause in the granting scts, by
which the Government was empower to
recover the lands and finish the con.
struction upon the failure of the com
panies to fulfill the other provisions OF
the act, il was left optional with the
Government to leave the constructors
undisturbed 40 long as they might seem
to be acting in good faith. Should these
reasons turn out 70 be the controlling
ones, inquiries msy be expected on the
Hoor OF the House which will put the
committee to the task OF maintaining
the legal propositions above announced
against very searching cross-examina'
tion.

VALED1cToRY.-With many regrets,
we bid farewell to our social patrons
with whom we have been on terms of
closest friendship since our association
with the press. In high esteem we shall
ever hold them, and many pleasant
recolections will always Enger in our
thoughts, and as we look back upon
the DAYS of our feeble efforts to per-
manently establish newspaper in our
thriving little town, more gratifying
still will be our thoughts as we see the
paper moving on to greater success.
MAY it not be understood by our
former good patrons that our with
drawal from the press IS from a selfish
motive, or from an unAattering out
look for it's future success. Far from
it. The paper is running on a solid
basis, and will so continue unless some
unforeseen accident should befal it.
Our withdrawal is caused solely by the
increase of our professional practice,
and it is the fear of neglectlng one or
the other that has led us to accept a
proposition from one who is in every
way thoroughly competent to take the
exclusive control of the business and
carry it Oh with greater success than
heretofore. Our ambition has been
prompted by desire to place our
Journal among the leading rapers in
the Valley, and though our efforts at
times have been anything but pleas
ant, yet our success has more than re-
paid us for our time and trouble.
We again bid adieu TO the many pa
irons of the STAR, hoping that you
will continue to give it your encour-
agement and support, and that Ste
phens City will never cease to boast o
having one of the best journals eve
published in the Valley of Virginia
