PATENT MATCH BOX STORY.
The Toy Proves a Burden 20 Its Owner
ON His Way IN from Hallway.
NciU Yoet Sun

A ruddy-faced and clean.shaven man
got into a smoking car of an incoming
train at Railway on tho Pennsylvania
railroad yesterday, and, after biting oil
tho end of cigar and clenching 1t firmly
in his teeth. dived into the depths of a
pair of agricultural.looking aud knee
sprung trousers, aud produced a curious
match box. 1t had at one end patent
fuse. When the lid was opened Violently
bit Of flint and steel struck spark that
ignitcd a bit of tape, from which he
lighted his cigar with great unctiOn. 1t
was New Jcr,cy cigar, but the flavor
was unquestiouably improved by the toy
hy which 1t was lighted. The old man
expcrimouted and played with the match
box, which was evidently recent acqui-
sition, wi h all the delight of a 10-year-
old boy with II now pistol. Then he
closed the lid and put the match box into
his pocket again.
An lrishman, who was sitting few
seats ahead OF him, had, after much labor,
succeeded In fishing cigar out OF the in
side pocket of his overcOat and look d
around for light. The most cheerful
face ho saw was that OF the old farmer,
who was smoking away industrIously
The Irishinan arose, fell over his own feot
once or twice, aud finally arrived at the
farmers seat and stretched out o horny
hand for his cigar. The farmer, vita u
pleased smile, dived into his pocket, pulled
out the box, again produced light, and
handed it with great flourish 10 tho
Irishman, who lighted his cigar, and won't
his way in peace. Then an old agreeable
gentleman across the aisle asked To see
the match box, aud it was exp. aimed to
him with great delight by the agricul-
turist. There were several matGhless
men in the crowd that boarded the train
at Newark, and the old gentleman had a
chance to exh bit his match box again.
BY this lime he was radiant.
The train was about half way across the
Newark meadows when bie-faceu drum
mer with small Derby hat who sat ex-
actly behind the old gentleman, touched
him on tho shoulder and asked him for q
lipht. The owner of tho patent match
box had grown bit weary by this time.
and he handed 1t ont quietly. The drum
mer lighted his cigar and made believe
close tho bog with great ostentation, but
be really LETT spark burning there. The
farmer showed the box into his pocket
without word. Ho smoked placidly at
his cigar for few moments, and then
nearly swallowed it rs he BOUNDED rom
his seat aud dived into his pocket again.
Something was burning. 1t was tho
farmer. A moment later the match box
sank to rest in the mud of tho Newark
meadows, and the farmer stamped on his
cigar and went forward with the ladies.

JURY SERVICE.

Always the most prosperous and
intelligent citizens in community
are hardest worked; yet the public
burdens must fall heaviest on these
if order and justice are to be preser-
we'd. No public duty is more I'M
pleasant aud irksome than service on
juries, especially in capital cases.
The best citizens are first to see any
failure to mete out the law exactly
in any particular case, yet they are
most unwilling of all to devote time
and talent to occasional public duty.
Of course this class WELD potent in
fuences and when these are exercis-
ed to obtain absolution from such
demands, the officers are often oblig-
ed to do as well as possible with
others. Yet the example of Cincin-
natl may be used to enforce the
time-honored lesson that when the
fount of justice is polluted the lands
through which the stream meanders
become foul, and the atmosphere is
dangerous to all life, public or pri-
vate. 1t is true that the fee is trih-
ing, and the service most irksome,
but the result of any neglect or for
getfulness is too quickly felt and the
consequences too fearful to allow
these to be used as pretext for such
sins of omission by citizen who
really takes into consideration the
magnitude of the interests involved.
No court can perform adequately its
duties when the jury service is bad
ly performed, and a community owes
in duty to itself that the best mate
rial obtainable should sit in the box
of its courts.

discussed in the State press for some
weeks past, and is an endorsement
from the highest authority, of the
views expressed by the Fernan-
dina Mirror, Jacksonville Her
aid, the Pensacolian, and many
other of our State exchanges. Judge
King has been noted as a lawyer
able and impartial; his age fits him
to exercise a judgment made ripe
by experience and reflection; his
judicial position adds weight untold
to the expression of his opinion. The
question may now be considered
settled.
We hold that any appeal by the
press to the popular feeling arguing
that the civilization OF the age, the
safety Of the citizen or the good Of
the community may be subserved by
the punishment of a man who has
never been convicted is unjust, un-
feeling and exceedingly sinful.

PARTY LOYALTY.

We yield to no man in reverence
for Democratic principles or attach
tachment to the Democratic party,
but the very excess of that attach
ment makes us impatient of what
we think party ssins of omission
or commission. Under the practical
operation of some laws the people
make bitter complaint. 1t is be-
cause we watch these in daily oper-
alton and know how completely
a small defect may nullify a statute
good in spirit and intention that we
have spoken so earnestly on the sub
ject. We are satisfied excellent re-
suits will flow from a thorough sift-
ing in public, not only of the laws
now enforced, but also of all sub
iects of Importance which will prob
ably be acted upon next winter by
the Legislature. Hitherto THE News
has been almost alone in this work.
but our experience has shown that
good may be done. The discussion
of the laws on taxation will show
many abuses, and will guide our
Legislators to necessary action. The
citizen will know what to require
and the candidate do something to-
wards fitting himself for his possible
duties.
No harm can result, and much
good may be done; if the members
of a party do not feel bound tokeep
it as pure as possible, that party is
sick of deadly disease. If we
wait for an enemy to correct our
family failings we may be very GER
tain the public will never attribute
to us good attention or any love of
reform. We have accused the Re
publicans of uniting on every occas-
ion to make investigation into party
abuses odious and futile; let us take
medicine ourselves if we are sick,
and the diagnoses be careful and
frequent. The party in Florida is
to-day without a leader and without
any distinctly expressed policy; a
discussion of practical issues will
satisfy the people we mean business,
and the issues can be clearly defined
as a guide to the action of the State
convention. Let us speak plainly
for the good of ourselves, our party
and State, and let the excelsior of
any disease be prompt. Party 10y
atty should only make us more anx.
ious that the machine be kept in
clean, working order.

Simon Cameron's Opinions.
from the Philadelphia Times.

From the Philadelphia Times.
''What do you think of the general
conditions of the South, and what are
its future prospects"
Undoubtedly the South is making
rapid progress, and is not behind the
times. There are places where change
is unknown, but those are dead places.
The increase of the general wealth of
the South since the war greatly exceeds
the loss sustained by the liberation of the
slaves, and this increase is the result of
the development Of the white peoples
energies and talents, which before the
war had lain dormant. The exercise of
these has opened ore mines, great coal
fields, established industries of all kinds
and is enabling the South to use up in its
own manufactures the cotton grown by
it. The Northern capitalists and work
man find ready fields of operation, the
one for investment, which brings speedy
returns, and the other for his skill, which
is well paid. Sectional feeling is dying
away and Northern people are well re-
ceived, especially those who go there to
stay and bring wealth. Why, yes, life
and property, so far as I can see, are Sc
cure in the South. Disorder sometimes
prevails elsewhere than in the South"
You stated General, that you have been
in Charleston. Did you visit Calhoun's
grave?"
II did. 1t caused many thoughts of
the past to arise before me. Calhoun's
was a master mind. Webster, Clay, and
Calhoun were a grand trio of statesmen.
Clay was brilliant orator and a great
statesman, but he had not the brains of
the others. l consider Roscoe Conkling
a greater statesmen than Clay, and so is
Senator Edmuuds."
do you think Conkling will again
come from his retirement
| Certainly 1 do. Why not: A man
like him will always come to the front.
Yes, should not be surprised to see him
some day returned to the United States
/ Senate. Conkling is making money now
lots of it. He never had time to fully
! attend to his own business before, but
/ now he is getting rich fast"

THE PHILADELPHIA TIMES. 1884.

THE PHILADELPHIA TIMES, 1884.
THE TIMES will enter upon the new year
stronger and more prosperous than ever be-
fore in its histOry-more widely read and
quoted, more heartily commended, and more
tiercely criticized, with a more complete or
ganiZaton, and an able sSOf of contributions
and with the same independence and fearless
ness that has made it successful and powerful
in the past.
THE TIMES has no party to follow. no candi-
dates to advance, but will meet every issue. as
it has ever done, with consistent devotion to
the right, to honest government, and the pub
lie welfare. And, while maintaining its posi-
ton as the leading journal of Philadelphia, it
will aim to be continually in the advance in all
that can add value to a newspaper.
The value of a newspaper is not in its size or
display, but in the intelligence and care, the
cOnciseness and freshness with which it is
edited. THE TIMES spends lavishly for news
from all parts of the world, but all its dis
patches are carefully edited and condensed, in
order TO give the complete news Of the day IN
the most concise ana attractive shape, ana Win
il a large variety of entertaining and instruc-
tive reading. The best writers at home and
abroad are employed to enrich Its columns,
and TO make it q journal adapted both to the
busy man and to the leisure of the home cir
Gle, a welcome visitor to intelligent and honest
citizens of every political, religious and social
taste.
The WEEKLY TIMES is altogether different
from the weekly newspapers OF twenty years
ago. The day of those papers have gone by.
The telegraph and better local newspapers
everywhere, especially in the thriving centres
of rural population. have made the old weekly
metropolitan newspaper unsatIsfylng. Those
that cling TO their ancient usages have lost
their hold on our fOrward-moying people; they
are but shadows of their former greatness, and
they have but shadow of their former power.
Those papers have had their usefulness, but it
is gone; and. with it, they are going, too. 1t
was not the fault of the papers: 1t was the i'm
provement of the country that brought about
the change. Men and women. wherever they
live now require fresher news; and they re-
uuirc more than news.
THE WEEKLY TIMES gathers on the types of
every passing week whatever has lasting in
terest to the people at large, and sets it before
them in such generosity of paper and print as
would have astOnished US all twenty yeors ago.
DAIIY-TwelVe cents q week, fifty cents q
month. Sc a year, two cents copy.
SUNDAY-FOur cents a copy. 81 year.
WEEKLY-One copy, 81 year; hve copies,

CRIME AND THE PRESS. -

On yesterday an opportunity oc-
CURED for judicial decision on a
question which has been a subject of
discussion throughout the State. In
the trial of Charles Dell, for murder,
in the Circuit Court for Putnam
county, Florida, one of our most in
telligent citizens, who is known
throughout the State as successful
business man, acknowledged that
such an impression had been made
by the opinions expressed as to the
guilt of the prisoner by the Herald
and Journal of Palatka that his
mind was too biased to give the
prisoner an impartial trial. Upon
this, counsel for the defense asked
the court to excuse the juror; urg-
ing that intelligent jurors were es-
pecially desired in this case, but
one who had already formed his
opinion, not on a statement of the
facts, but from the arguments pro
and con in the public print was in
capable of jury duty. The juror
was excused.
This covers exactly the case as
