THE SAGE OF MONTICELLO'S BONES.

Thomas jefferson, like Shakespeare,
wrote his own epitaph, but, unlike
Shakespeare S, he left no curse for the
hand which disturbs his bones. His
only surviving granddaughter. Mrs.
Meikleham, has given her consent to the
removal of his bones to cemetery at
Washington, but the sentiment of Nlr-
ginians is bitterly opposed to any dis
turbance Of his grave. The inscription
upon the granite obeiisis at his grave
reads: Here lies buried Thomas JEFF
ferson, author of the Declaration of
American Independence, of the Statute
of Virginia for religious freedom, and
1t is evident that it was his wish to sleep
his last long sleep on Virginia soil, by
the side of the wife whom he loved.
Public sentiment will over-rule the de-
cision of Jetterson's grand daughter and
demand that there be no Dissertation of
his grave. If necessary no appeal to the
law will be made to prevent the propos-
ed removal, since the owners of the
graveyard in which Jefferson was barred
will not consent to the execution of Mrs.
Meikleham wish, and she was not men,
toned in her grandfather's WILL If the
bones of the Sage of Monticello are dis
turbed, eminent men may conclude that
the only safeguard against the desecra-
ton of their graves is in initiating Gen.
Garibaldi by directing that their bodies
be cremated

The Knights Festival at North East.

To-day being the last day of the knight
of Pythias festival at North East it is to he
presumed that the greatest crowd of the
season will be present. To all persons fond
of good things and rousing sport, we give
our advice gratis, 20. lou will have good
time and never afterwards begrudge the
email amount Of money expended in the in
diligence. The fair is conducted under adj
mirable management everything is com
plete and a more enjoyable affair was never
organized in our county. The closing day
and night will he crowded ruii OF all sorts
of interesting incidents. and to those who
cannot spare the whole day, we say, take
the afternoon for it, or if your business
needs your attention all day give the even
ing to the festival. Fathers take your wife
aVQ the children. Boys take your best girl,
aid you fellows who are So unfortunate as
to have no girl 90 alone, you laay find one
there, it 5 good place for such incidents.
An ice or two and a cooling drink, often
work wonders with the fair sex.

THE RKER-ABRAHAMS CASE.

The jury in this case, which has ex-
cited such a general interest, returned
a sealed verdict at clock on Wednes-
day. When the case was called on Thurs
day, the counsel for the bank having re-
ceived intimation that the verdict was
in favor of Mr.. Abrahams, thereupon
took nan pros. Judge Norris inquired
of plaintiff counsel what they desired to
do with the other suits of a similar char
aoter. Mr.. Machen said they had no
wish to try them this term and would
consent to their being continued. The
court directed them to be continued to
the November term.
The jury took three ballots while out.
On the first poll they We're nine for de-
fendant and three for plaintiff, on the
second poll ten for defendant and two for
plaintiff and on the last poll thoy were
unanimous for the defendant. The opin-
ion is very genelally expressed in Balti-
more that this is the last that will ever
be heard Of this or any other suit on
these contested notes.

The Roads and Bridges.

Great complaint of the condition Of the
roads and bridges throughout the county
comes from every quarter. 4 representa-
tive of THE WING, this week, called upon
the Clerk of the Board of Commissioners,
to ascertain, if possible, where the fault
lies in this matter. While in conversation
with Mr.. I,osseii, !. seRtlepiaI entered and
made complaint of the condition uf tie
bridge at Gilpin'S fording, just north OF
town, stating that before he was able to
cross it he was compelled to carry planks
and lay then; oyer the openings in the floor
The Clerk stated that The gQlHHigsi oners
had done every thing in their power to pre-
vail upon supervisors and inspectors to
look properly after these matters, and that
now the entire responsibility rested with
the inspectors, as they had been notified to
have all necessary work-whiCl the super
visors failed to do-attended to at once.
Thousands of dollars are annually paid for
repair of roads and bridges, and yet both
are Disgrace IL the county. Active and
determined steps should he taken Nv the
Commissioners at once to force com pi:-
ance with their contracts upon the part of
supervisors If nothing else will effect the
purpose, the power Of the law should be
evoked

which he struck Mr.. ,ianvier :; tremendous
blow upon the head, telling him to the
ground, after which he beat him brutally
while insensible
But for the interference of laborer, it is
likely that Mr., janvier would have been

GROWTH OF THE REPUBLIC IDEA

England uses American implements to
till her soil, American cotton to feed her
looms, American wheat to make her
bread, and she eats American beef and
grows fat on it, why will she not import
American ideas as to the government of
Ireland? Deep down i'll the hearts of
the plain people of England-a class with
whom Irishmen have no quarrel-there
for England, and it is predicted that all
English-speaking people will ultimately
live in republic. To grant Ireland the
self-government for which Henry Graf
tan struggled century ago, is to remove
the misery and eradicate the discomfort
which English oppression has engen-
dered.
Mr.. O'Gorman' patriotic devotion to
this republic, and his desire for the es-
tablishment of republican institutions in
his native land, are common to all Irish |
American citizens, and that fact, in con-
nection with movements now in progress
i'll many lands, is significant as indicating
the growth in favor Of popular govern
ment. France was never before as pros
porous as she has been since the estab- |
lishment of the present republic. and
there is hardly an intelligent people on
tue face of the globe which, ruled by
sovereign, does not claim selEgovern-
ment. The discomfort of Russia indi-
Gates the growth of the republic idea
among the Cars subjects, and the plod- |
ding people of Egypt are affected by the
same desire for relief from tyranny. |
Count de Lesseps, who knows Egyptians
well, expresses the belief that they are
prepared for self-government, and Presi- |
dent Washburn. of the American College |
at Constantinople, predicts the downfall |
of the Turkish Empire and the establish.
ment of a great republic upon the ruins
by Rulgarians. Armenians and Greeks. |
These things. together with the fact that |
the eyes of all suffering people of the civ
ilized globe turn longinglv to the United
States, are uumistakable indications of
the rapid growth of the republic idea
throughout the world.

Weak From Want of Food.

A horse belonging to Mr.. Harry Boulder
fell from exhaustion, at the corner of Main
and Howard streets, as he was passing
through town late at night, 1t being i'll the
neighborhood of eleven O'Clock. A large
crowd soon gathered to witness the scene.
The animal, which Mr.. Boulder had that day
came into possession of, had been so poorly
fed and apparently abused, that he actually
had not strength sufficient to maintain a
standing position, and when down was too
weak to rise. His owner tried every i'm
aginable way to get him up without sue
cess, and finally determined to accept the
suggestion of 4 bystander, which was to
feed the poor brute heartily, and let him
lay until he gained some strength. This
plan proved successful, for i'll few hours
the horse was able to rise aud afterwards, to
draw the carriage to which he was attached
when he fell,

The Evening Star.

Venus is now radial.tly beautiful after
sunset il the western sky, and This conspic-
uouSneSs of the planet next to the earth to-
ward the sun, suggests a reference 10 the
great event for which astronomers are pre-
pairing at much expense. The only transit
of Venus during more than century to
come will occur on the 9th of next De-
cember. 1t will be visible throughout the
United States, but it can be observed to
best advantage i'll Florida, Cuba, Mexico
and South America, and nearly fifty eN-
petitions have already been organized
for the purpose of witnessing it. TIL"
members of the eight expeditions to be sent
out by the French government are now IN
training at Paris, using models OF Venus
and the sun to show what the transit OF
be like Unftvorable weather is likely TO
prevent view of the phenomenon from
many of the stations, and much vii! de
pend upon the accuracy of the observers ut
the stations over which there is a cloudess
sky.
When Calico constructed his telescope
he demonstrated the truthfulueSs Of the
theory of Copernicus that the sun is Il
central body around which the planets re-
volve, by his observations of the phases of
Venus The great purpose of the eNpedl-
tons to be sent out by the nations in De
cember is to accurately determine the earths
distance from the sun, that distance being
the unit of astronomical measurement. If
skilful observers are able to make success
full observations as the black ball passes
over the bright face OF the sun, the accept
ed measurements of tine distances of heav-
emily bodies can be verified or corrected. The
evening star whose glory is now the Won
der of the western world is therefore to be
the object of an interest beyond that awak-
ened by other heavenly bodies until near
ly the end of the year 1882.

The Jubilee Troupe and Professor Pol
lard's Tribulations.

We last week noticed the formation here
of a company of Jubilee Singers, by one
Professor Pollard, formerly of the New Or
leans Troupe. The enterprise moved along
smoothly until last Tuesday evening, for
which occasion the Professor had announced
his first concert. The sanguine leader had
repaired to the hall at an early hour and
prepared the room for the audience, which
soon began to gather. At the hour fixed
for the commencement of the concert Il
berS of the new troupe We're non est. Half
past eight o'clock came, the audience had
become restless, and still no performers
The professor was in Il quandery. About
quarter of nine the missing singers began
to drop in one at a time, but one and all de-
clared their determination not 10 take part
ia the concert. The Professor here began to
"inhale rodent" and upon inquiry dis
covered that his troupe had been tempered
with, by some unprincipled parties and
their leader. The trouble wa, patched up
Tor the moment, and an effort made at gong
on with the concert, but it proved 4 poor
affair. The Professor then cut loose from
his nnmanagable company and has since
engaged a company of experienced perform
ers to take the place Of the rebellious anna
teurs, and will carry out the programme at
first laid out The names of the members
of the revolving company, We're summer
field Cotman, VIM. Henry Shippers, Els,nore
Brown, ,Iennette Sprouts, Rebecca Gibbs
and Jennette Allen. Their reasons for not
fulfilling their contract with Professor Pol
lard is not given. The new organization
since completed, is said to be far superior to
persons of experience in concert singing.

An Amateur Rape,

The rising American boy is as far in adj
ago, in his knowledge of and acquaintance
with the fast side of life, as is the scientific
knowledge of the age, ahead of that Of the
date mentioned. A striking illustration of
this occurred here this week, when couple
of 9 year old roues enticed 6 year old girl
into an Clubhouse and made desperate efforts
to violate her person. The screams of the
child attracted her mother, upon whose APP
proach the young rascals made rapid fight.
The mother gave chase but failed to come
up with the boys. Had she succeeded, no
doubt but that she would have strangled
both of them. Such young outlaws as these
should be takencare of by the State.
