lodged I'm Jail c0lored man named j. W.
Wheeler, who, with another man, Richard
Lane, set fire TO the Jail, which was totally de-
stroyed. Lane succeeded In making hts
escape. There were only three prisoners In
the jail at the tlmo-tho two aboved.named,
who were awaiting trial for stealing COW,
and n colored boy serving n term of fifteen
days. Wheeler acknowledges that he aud
Lane set fro 10 the building for the purpose
OF making their escape. Ho tells the story as
follows; He and Lane had decided to get out
OF the jail, and for this purpose collected lot
of pieces Of wood, and on Saturday night put
them I'm tho "diamond" cut In the door aud
set fire TO them. The door was of wood,
consumedi not, however, until tho flames
had gotten under the roof. BY this time the
scream OF the boy, who was In an adjoining

on the scene, took him In charge and bound
him to tree until the furniture had oil been
gotten out the Jail and the residence OF tho
Jaier. Both buildings were destroyed. This
is the second time the building has boon
burned. colored boy few years ago set
came near losing his life. Wheeler Is In n
pretty bad way, his eyes being terribly swollen
and his speech somewhat affected from the
smoke. Had II not been for the alarm given
by the boy, Mr.. Petit and his family would
probably have lost their lives.

CONVINCED BY FACTS.
How N Distinguished Judge Was

How N Distinguished Judge Was
Converted 90 tho Doctrine OF
WOmnn's Rights.
Judge Pierce, of Philadelphia, who de-
livered the dissenting opinion Ia that city
on Saturday, demonstrating so clearly aud
forcibly the propriety and justice Of admit
ting women TO practice before tho courts,
has been as conscientious and earnest q
supporter of tho cause of woman in her
struggles for her rights as ever sat upon
the bench" said an old Philadelphia to a
CRITIC reporter. There is rather pretty
story connected with his conversion to the
cause. The Judge shared the usual ideas
of the improperly and indelicacy of
ladies engaging in such walks of life until
he became acquainted with young lady
who attracted his attention by her unusual
intellectual power and clear logic, and who
became interested in the study Of law at
time when female law students were almost
unknown. Under the tuition of the Judge
this young lady obtained a thorough knowl-
edge of law and developed an
unexpected talent, and with her increasing
knowledge and ambition the Judge became
fully convinced of the injustice of all law
and custom that prevented such woman
from engaging in a profession for which she
was so fully competent, and in which so
bright future awaited her. For many
years Judge Pierce endeavored, uns1ccess-
fully, to secure recognition for this lady in
the courts of Pennsylvania, and be has
ever since been an advocate of allowing
women every opportunity which the other
sex enjoy for availing themselves of their
talents and securing q livelihood in the
walks of life for which they are best quail
fed -

"No; we have no complaints at all.
There is no doubt that opium is used at

take any steps to prevent it,"
Captain Vernon said that the opium dens
had almost disappeared from the city.

1t has always been regarded as matter
of official etiquette that an invitation to
dine with the President must not be de-
clined unless for imperative and unavoida.
BILE reasons, but it seems that that custom
has been broken into with Others. The
Washington correspondent of the Baltimore
SIN says that at the last state dinner at
the White House on Thursday last, how
ever, there were two absentees, ono Sena-
tor the other Representative who refused
to sit at the President table. The Repre-
sentative wrote a sarcastic letter of refusal,
The Senator had intended to take no notice
whatever of the invitation, but at
the last moment relented sufficiently to
permit letter of regret, couched in the
briefest and most personal terms, to be sent
in his name. The grievance of both was
that the President had received them with
an Indifference and n want Of proper respect
on the occasion of n previous visit to the
White House on business. 1t is perhaps
not impossible chat both of them would
have smothered their resentment and ac-
cepted the invitations, if request to dine
at tho White House was confined nova
days, as used to DO the case to the select
elect. But President Arthur has this win
ter, not, 1t may be assumed, because he is a
candidate for reelection, thrown wide the
doors of the White House and hidden to his
feasts the lame, the halt and the blind, SO
that it is not considered quite such an honor
to stretch ones legs under the Executive
mahogany.

Those men who served in the late war In
the capacity of telegraph operators and
constructors of military lines of telegraph
will read with interest the announcement
that a bill has been favorably reported
from the Committee on Military Affairs to
the House, and will undoubtedly pass,
which will place them on an equal footing
so far as pensions and land privileges are
concerned, with those who carried guns
and were enlisted as fighting men. Repre-
sentative Murray (Ohio), who reported the
bill, says that during the late war the mill.

about /, 200 operators and a sufficient force

Tho last low tone before the harp is broken;
The souls adieu, the summers parting signs;
The look, tho smile, that gives It's nnal token,
To thrill the heart then, slowly fading, dies.
The rose that, fading, leaves its fragrance scat
tered,
strain;
Tho hope, the Joy that now forever shattered,
Has stlll some solace left to ease our pain.
The flowers that died while yet In summers
glory,
The dreams that vanished with the morn
ing's dawn;
The spoil whose charms but lately drltted DER
thee,
That now Is past and all onchantment gone.
The hand that clasped thine own in friendly
pleasure,
The tender glance, the sweetest and tho last
the voice that gave us once world OF pleas

That now must number with the treasures
past.
These things can never die, they linger ever
Like scent OF roses round the broken vasei
Each tic may break, and all but life discover,
