Private DALzELL knows of case "without
parallel in the annals of Ohio" and tells about
it at length. James Moore, an aged citizen of
Caldwell. died recently after bequeathing all
his property, farm worth 81 900, to his eldest
son, and thereby cutting off ten younger chill
dren without penny. The ten wanted the
Private to bring suit for them. He was just tell
ing them that this could not be done with hope
of success, when the noble elder brother made
his appearance, tore up the will and in an elo-
quent and fearful speech renowned his claim
to the land. He had enough, besides he said,
and could not sleep in peace with the thought
that his brothers and sisters were in need. This
fable is probably intended to teach two things,
namely: that there is one honest man in Ohio,
and that Private Dalzell has such a press of
legal business on hand that he can afford to turn
paying litigants from his doors.

THE New York Evening Post closes a long
and philosophical review of newspapers
with this paragraph:
THE truth is that the apostles of the cheap
press enormously exaggerate the newspaper
reading capacity of mankind and their ex-
pectations about its future are probably
wildly extravagant. In fact, we are likely,
during the next twenty-five years, to see the
production OF newspapers greatly overdone,
like production in some other articles which
have no foreign outlet Newspapers cannot
be forced on the community any more than
blankets without heavy reduction in price;
and the press now as we have said, has hard
ly any room for reduction without becoming
waste paper Few need more than one news
paper, and one cannot do his best, spend
more than a certain time in readingit. 1t is
not at all improbable. too that the supply of
newspaper humor and scurrility may be
found during the same period greater than
the market will bear. There are signs al
ready that it has begun to pail on the public,
and that a reaction against it is among the
possibilities of the near future. Men tire of
everything of which they get plenty sooner
or later Even drunkards are said to be made
to loathe whisky by having all their food
saturated with it. The two-cent and one
cent people are in fact not at all unlikely to
turn on their puryeyors and rend them for
taking too low view of their taste and ca

THERE are tragedies and tragedies. In a
little town in Ohio a man driven by the
pangs of poverty kills his wife and three
children and ends his own life. He would
say, could he speak now, that the deed was
done for love of his family. A Polish immi-
grant, stranded at Erie, Pa, loved his wife
and little ones, too but he did not murder
them. He labored hard until the day of his
death to gain the means to take himself and
family to Minnesota, where relatives were,
and where he had better chance for a home
His wages were small the needs of his chill
dren many, and for the sake of saving he de-
prived himself of food tc such an extent
thathe died one day this week, from ex-
haustion. He might have saved himself; it
would have been wiser love; but greater
than this hath no man.

DAVID DUDLEY FIELD, in last weeks num-
Der of The Continent, has a strong protest
against the growing disregard OF smokers
for the rights of their non-smoking
fellow beings. He has nothing to say
against the use of tobacco as such,
but confines himself to the assert ton
that abstainers have rights which every
smoker who pretends to be moderately con-
siderate of others ought to respect He
asks how the smoker and the non-smoker
can reconcile their respective pretensions.
Nothing is easier, he thinks. Let the smoker
smoke unto himself, but let one who does
not smoke or take tobacco into his mouth or
blow it out of his nostrils be free from the

THE Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh are very
heightened and moral; at all events. they won't
have anybody about them whose past is in the
least shadOwy. The noble pair have been visit
ing the Duke of Saxe-Coburg Gotha, at his cas-
tie in COburg. Hearing that their host contem-
plated a ball in their honor, the virtuous
English prince, abetted by his wife. insisted
upon the omission from the list OF invitations of
the wives of two of the court officials. one Of
whom was formerly actress, the other hav-
ing been divorced previous to her marriage with
her present husband. Nothing more serious was
urged against the characters of these ladies, and
the Duke of Coourg thereupon prohibited the
attendance. of any of the court officials. When
the distinguished guests found that they were
more than taken at their word. they abruptly
left the castle, and now the whole duchy is in d
ferment, according to reports AS it is a little
duchy, the storm is only "a tempest in teapot

encouraged assassination, and when any plot
has been revealed or successfully carried out,
he has always assumed a knowledge that
manifestly he did not possess. He is a
nl0untebank in intrigue, charlatan in Irish
politics. While doing nothing but harm to
those he assumes to champion, he arrogates
to himself the credit of the deeds OF others.
He is fraud, burden upon the cause Of
Irish rights, and a shame to humanity in
general Too cowardly to take hand him
self, he urges others to waylay and
assassinate. He is the apostle
OF dynamite and the dirk. 1t
shows weak spot in our system OF laws that
this fellow cannot be silenced. While I'M
worthily enjoying the liberty and protection
guaranteed by American citizenship, he dis
graces it by his actions. If there was any
element OF heroism about him, if he had in
any manner ever faced personal danger in
behalf OF his cause there would be some
charity for him. But to see him Justify
bawling to others to do that which he is too
cowardly to do himself is spectacle that in
spires contempt and disgust.

The supplementary civil-rights bill was
passed in the Senate on the 22d day of
May, 1874, by an affirmative vote of % to a
negative vote of 16 The affirmative vote
was as follows: Messrs. Alcorn, Allison,
Boutwell,, Buckingham, Conkling, Edmunds,
Flanagan, Frelinghuysen, Hamlin, Harvey,
Howe, ingalls,, Mitchell, Morrill,, of Vermont
Oglesby, Patterson, Pease Pratt, Ramsey,

Wright Possibly from of this list OF names,
not to go into the roll-call in the House,
a supreme bench might be picked out that
which has just decided two sections of the
law unconstitutional. A vote was taken on
striking out the second section, which is one
OF the sections overthrown, and on that the
vote was, yeas, 49, nays, 49, Among the
nay votes in addition to the ones recorded
above on the first passage of the bill, are to
consin, and Morrill, of Maine. In the House
the bill passed, as we have before stated, by
a vote of 1872 yeas to 100 nays. All the In
diana Republicans voted for the bill, inclu-
ding Coburn, Orth, Packard, Sayler, Shanks,

affirmative vote are to be found the names
of Ben. Butler, Conger, now senator from
Michigan; Garfield, e. R. Hoar, formerly
Encouragement of the United States; Hale,
now senator from Name; and McCrary, now
United States judge in Iowa. These men
voted for it after full
discussion of its alleged un-
constitutionality, 1t was bill not passed in
a hurry, but only after thorough discussion
and many months careful consideration by
Congress and the country. The principle
and practice of the civil-rights bill will not
now be abandoned by the Republican party
because of the action of eight members of
the Supreme Court. One man on the right
side is not infreauently majority. 1t is
not impossible that Justice Harlan may
prove to be another instance of this law in
morals and politics.

THE tattered battalions of the Salvation
Army have returned to London from Swift
erland, where they were so strenuously op-
posed by the civil authorities. A large re-
ception was rendered them, in which some
$4,000 people participated. Drums were
beaten, cheers resounded and the inevitable
collection was taken up At times when
the excitement was highest, a perfect pan
demonium seemed to reign. Miss Booth,
or Marshal Booth as is her religio-miltary
title, was welcomed back in manner be-
coming a conquering hero, and she
was much elated. She expressed
a determination to return toe Switzerland
and capture the country, bag and baggage.
Thence she expected to sweep over the
sunny plains of Italy, much as did Hanni-
bal, until the conquering Scipio put an end
to his triumphal march toward the eternal
city, After Switzerland Italy and France
are subdued by the salvationists, their forces
will be turned on America, and an invading
column will march from conquering to con
quest. Until then the people of this coun-
try will have to be satisfied to wait. The
craze is evidently at its height. Like all
other frenzies of the kind, it will abate and
leave no visible trace of its presence. By
these salvationists the sweets of rational re-
ligion are made bowling farce. May the
time be long distant when the burlesque is
put on the American stage.

other way to protect the rights of the non

rules are enforced. After 8 o'clock at night,

was solely and wholly responsible for the

THE meanest man has been found in New York
city Eight years ago a man named Rich mar
ried shOp-girl. The lady kept on as clerk, but
the husband, naturally lazy ana vicious soon
stopped work and depended on her earnings.
Habits of idleness soon begat others of luxury.
To support these he levied on his wife's
lngs. In time they were inadequate to his
imagined needs, and he obliged her to steal from
her employers. She at last got tired of being
beaten for not stealing enough to satisfy her
husband, and a few weeks ago she left him.
The wretch then betrayed her by an anonymous
letter. She will probably be sent to prison. He
should be hanged.
