ciined one cent, but recovered. Provisions

THE POLITICAL TII.ILS.

tic ,ictcnSu in lhv E. sc # lLc Emitted
S,a;c, against inc . ren managers of
election AT The Iiup' En he House in
this CITY. District AT .rnc. Melton
ciost Il for the prosecution.
Judge Bond simply told the Jury
That there was no law in the casc-;ha,
1t was one solely Of Fact, and thcv
must take the record and find their
verdict. The jar! then retired and at
midnight had not yet agreed.
The return to the rule against TIE
tw" jurors, Fountain and Slrom. who
diSscpicd from the verdict in the
Acton case, was read, in Whic!I il was
stated on oath that they had been sub
lcct to undue pressure by the officers
IN Charge Of the jury, and that they
had signed the verdict upon the dis
tinct understanding that there was no
punishment attached to the first count
upon which alone the vcldict Of gully
was found.
The District Attorney then submitted
aflidavits from five of the Jurors who
were on the Jury with Sirom aud Foun-
tain, in which their statements were
denied.
In reply the counsel for the Jurors
submitted the affidavit Of another one
OF The Jurors sustaining the statements
OF StrOm and Fountain.
Counsel for the jurors then took the
position that it was no. within Tive
power of thc District Attorney TO in
s!'tulc proceedings against them; that
Inc jurors were beyond his roach, and
that they had not been brought bv the
District Attorney, but were pressed
by the Constitution and law of the
land rs the judges TO try the case; and
that unless they Wer0 guilty of con
tempt OF court. neither tie District
Attorney nor the Court had thc power
to proceed against them.

TIE registration books arc now
open, and will continue TO be so for
sixty days. The supervisor is making
the rounds of the county, ana it is
incumbent upon every Democrat TO
have himself enrolled. Acting under
obedience to orders the Radicals arc
registering with great unanimity,
while the Democrats thus far have
shown some indifference. It is hardly
necessary to impi@ss upon all who
desire decent government the necessity
of taking the preliminary steps in the
coming campaign. Without rcgistra-
ton there can be no voting. We trust
That the officers Of all the clubs will
fake pains to secure the attendance of
all the members. Parties who viii
become Of age by the second Tuesday
III November will be entitled to. regis
ter. Another point is to, sec that no
parties under age and none who have
entered the Stale since last November,
Snd none who have been convicted of
the Infamous crimes mcuticncd by The
law arc allowed to register.

A Queer Burglar Alarm.

The little house formerly occupied by
Stephen Valentine, who committed sui
eide by hanging at West Chester on
Wednesday, was broken into by the
Coroner yesterday 1t stands alone
about quarter of q mile from the vii
lage of West Chester. He had lived
there alone.
Upon entering Stephens dwelling, it
was found that the doors and windows
were not only locked and bolted in the
ordinary way, but were tied with pieces
of cord wherever hold could be obtain
ed. One long, stout cord, one end of
which was tied to the front door, was
found to lead up stairs to Mr.. Valen-
tines bedroom. His neighbors say that
every night, before going to bed, he
tied the upper end of this cord to the
great toe of one of his feet, so that in
case any one broke open the door in the
night it would give his toe such a tug as
to awaken him. Beneath the bed
clothes were found several heavy clubs,
bar of iron, and large Colts revolt
yer, every chamber of which was loaded.

Where to Sit.

As we take our lives in our hand ev-
cry day we step on board railway car,
1t Is well to know which is the place Of
greatest security in the train. The car
nearest the engine is exposed to the
least dust, and the rear car of train is
generally safer than the front car. The
safest is probably the last car but one in
train of more than two cars; that is,
there are fewer chances of accidents to
this than any other. If it is a way train
at moderate speed, or any train stand
ing still, collision is possible from an
other train in the rear, in which the last
car receives the first shock. Again, the
engine and the front cars of train will
often run over broken rail, or COW,
or stone, without detriment, while the
last car, having nothing to draw it into
the line of the train, is free to leave the
track Next to the forward. car, the
rear car is probably the most unsafe in
the train. The safest seat is probably
near the centre of the last car but one
Unfortunately, however, everybody can
not have that seat, and the majority
must still run risks.

friends Is an elaborate tea-party. The
good wife's ideas about the matter is
that the table must be loaded with every
conceivable substantial and delicacy the
market affords, or the thing is failure
and her character ruined. Now all
these dainties cost money-and consid
cradle Of it, too; and times are hard.
The primary object of all such gather
ings is sociability. Then why in reason
should the element of success be married
in the least by mental toothache that
this thing costs too much money! Why
the thought of it tinges the smiles of
host and hostess with q ghostly glamour
like unto the fragments of grocer's
bill. The goodly company enjoy it;
they pay smile for smile, and chat and
laughter and song. and abundant warmth
about their hearts for all this good fell
lowship, but they catch the toothache
with their good-bys and groans over the
inevitable requital of such good cheer
and sociability, by a like lavish outlay
of money and muscle to get upa tea
party that will match or beat it! 1t is
absolutely all nonsense, according to
our notion. And thus it is that our
coveted sociability is too limited, too
constrained, and in measure unsatis-
factory. Luxuries are expensive. Soci-
ability and good fellowship are cheap.
Our joy need not be constrained by an
absurd custom. Let cheap entertain
ments be the rule, and plenty of them!
