The Editorial Of To-day.

The editorial Of to-day is crisp with.
out being iiippant. strong without being
ponderous, and comprehensive without
being long. Within these limits there
is still room for the great editor. but
outside of them he cannot longer get
his readers to follow him.

TARIOUS JUDICIAL OATIfS.

Cleveland Herald
II was customary thing in what are
called the dark ages for swearer to
lay his hand on cruciiix as sacred
symbol. or tourh the altar while he
sworc hv the God to whom it was dedi-
cat"l Soon he came to swear by the
c'u'fix itself or "by the rood" OF
kindred origin il the oath "bv the
mass" "bv the wounds" hence
" swounds" and "zounls" The sacred
wafer was TO the vulgar mind part of
Gods corporcnl nature. hence Gods
bodikin," u favorite oath of the Eliza
bethan age
The custom of placing the right
hand upon some sarred object was con-
sidcred of the utmost Importance, and
there was quite difference in the de-
gree of the solcmntv of the oath ac-
cording as the object sworn by was
more or lcss sacred. When Harold, of
England. swore to William the Con-
queror that he would not push his claim
10 the crown, he supposed that he was
only swearing on n missal or PRAYER
book which was lying on a. chest, and
hence could do 50 with mental reser-
walton. but the oath was really the most
binding possible, a. was afterward dis
closed. when William removed
the cloth with which the chest
was covered and disclosed the
authentic relics of saint. 1t was
claimed at one time in the Irish troubles,
in James IS time, that the oath npon
the eucharist of the Irish Catholic could
not bc relied upon in the court, unless
the priest who consecrated it was in
sympathy with the English government.
For II was said that the transubtantia-
tion depended entirely upon the will
of the priest. and if he did not wish the
bread Of the wafer to he changed into
the body and blood it would be nothing
but lit Of baked dough. which every
ono could swear falsely upon without
committing perjury.
An Abyssinian chief. who had sworn
nm oath he dislike,l. was seen to scrape
ii of his tonguc with his knife and spit
IL ont. And in Germany, to this day,
there are places where the witness,
when he wants to tell lie or swear
falsely. crooks his finger. rs if to indi-
cate Ia his cons 'ic ice that his oath was

FREDERICK COUNT ITEMS.
From the Winchester Times:

From the Winchester Times:
Prof. Aiken, from Pennsylvania, intends

Samuel II. Hardy, Jr,, member of the
Friendship Fire Co., died at s o'clock on
Sunday morning. This young gentleman
was % years OF ase.
We hear that Col VIM r. Denny paid
SLIGO Tor his recent purchase in Florida.
There was 100 acres in the tract upon which
there is fine orange grove.
Last Thursday afternoon rs Mr. Laurence
Register Payne passed by two ladies were
heard discussing the gentleman. One OF
the ladies was heard to say to the other:
" D.ar ne, wha. handsome fellow she is"
On the application of Lydia Rebccca
Payne to his honor Judge K. II. Turner OF
The Circuit Court OF Frederick county now
i'm session, the following order WIS made.
II appearing to the CJurc from the testimony
OF medical experts that the applicants Of
the male sex and that his present name Is
inappropriate, it is ordered on his motion
on this, the 9TH day OF March, 1881, that his
present name of Lydia Rebecca Payne be
changed to that of Laurence Register Payne,
which shall hcnct.orth be his lawful name
Mr. l.. Il. Payne paid our city visit on
last Friday, for the first ti:At since his recent
marriage, aud WAS warmly welcomed and
congratulated by his many friends. lie was
looking remarkably we'll and WAS in joyial
spirits. lie was attired in stylish suit Of
the latest fashionable cut, wore Il brown
derby hat, eyercoat of same color, white
nccktic and neat fitting pants which fell
over small feet which were encdscl in about
4 No. plir Of bots. This gentleman
drove in his buggy and handled the reinS in
. manner that attracted the admiration of
all who SAW him. After putting his horse
away at a public stable he attended to bus
incsS matters upon which he came to the
city. OF course M Payne was the centre
of attraction wherever he went and our
community was on the qti rire to get a
glimpse Of him as he appeared in his new
role rs he walked by every one who saw
him. both ladies and gentlemen, were unan-
imous in their verdict that he made much
more handsome appearance in his true garb
than he did in female attire, and those
whose privilege it was to converse with him
were struck with his pleasant dcmeanor and
remarkable self possession.
