MIR. COTTRELL PERSISTS.
Another Information Filed Against Hill and
Smith in the Election Cases.

Yesterday Thomas Cottrell renewed his at
fidavit in support of information against
George w. Hill and Charles Smith, alleging
that they conspred with Others unknown.
to destroy and attempt to destroy the
Eighteenth ward ballots. The affidavit and in
formation are supposed to cover the defects
upon which Judge Norton sustained motion to
quash the information filed some weeks ago. 1t
sets out that the Criminal Court is in session,
that the grand jury has adjourned for the pres
emit term. that the previous information was
quashed, and that the grand jury had returned
no indictment against them. The judge also
held that it must appear that the accused are in
custody before proceedings by infor
nation can be had. While meeting all
other defective points, Attorney Cropsey failed
to state this last necessity for perfect pleading
The information is extended in another particu-
lar by making parties unknown to affant" de-
PENDANTS. Somebody told Mr. Cottrell during
the recount that it was unfortunate for him that
the Eighteenth ward ballots were missing.
For" said his informant, "there were twenty
ballots cast for you that do not appear the
tally Constable Rheinold impaired this
valuable news. and therefore, the ex-candidate
has assumed as his mission to discover those
twenty missing ballots George w. Hill gave a
81, 900 bond, with Charles Gorsuch as surety,
and Charles Smith, learning of the renewed pro-
ceedings, went to the sheriff's Office gave him
self up, and furnished bond in like amount, with
George K Schofeld as surety.

HIGH SCHOOL EXERCISES.
The Regular Weekly Literary Exercises
Those Who Took Part.

The usual Friday exercises were held yester.
day in the public hall of High-school No l. The
exercises, Of about an hour occur in the morn
in and the afternoon. A representative from
each of the English classes is selected to appear
at this time With an original composition or a
defamation The end kept constantly in view
is to give the pupil the power OF seif-control, to
enable him to express his thoughts in the best
way, and to use his voice with the best effect
The pupils are thus given direct advantages and,
incidentally, they form a taste for good
their notice in preparing their pieces
The good results of these exercises and the value
of the English course are shown in the clear
GOOD ,.sc, and the 1asy style which cracter
ize the compositions of the advanced pupils
The timidity and imperfections Of the frst-year
pupils gradually disappear, where they have
passed through these drills, and the pupil is
given power that will be Of the utmost practi-
cal benefit in any spere of life. The exercises
yesterday were of the usual high character.
The following are the performers and the pro-
auctions:
Morning Essay, "Favorite Characters" Mary
GOODWIN; defamation, IA Snow-storm," Jul!a
Graydon; defamation, damon and Pythias,
Chas; Elliott; defamation, Sister and ], y Emma
Messing. Afternoon--Essay, 1.-THE Hill of
Learning" Lora Marthens; essay value of
Time ard Knowledge" Amanda King: declama-
ton. Post No. g." Olive Green; defamation,
.'The Old Oaken Bucket" Edwin Hildebrand
defamation, 'The Inventors Wife," Anna Hat
field; essay, Money" Nellie Fatout; declama
ton, "Curfew Must Not Ring Tonight" Mary
Fry: defamation, ''The Legend of the Organ
builder" Alice Graydon"
These productions show evidences of careful
preparation and of desire the part of the
pupil to excel. A limited number of seats can
be found for public visitors, and the High
teachers would, doubt, be glad to have the
patrons of the schools witness the performances

Of making many books there is
no end, and everybody is glad Of it,
for what would Christmas be if
Santa Claus was an ignoramus and
cared nothing for books?
AS it is, "Book'' is the word that
stands for universal gift, and a good,
sensible, kind word it is, too.
Flowers speak in language so
subtitle and mystical that it is not
always safe to give them lest their
meaning be misconstrued, and they
give pain instead of pleasure.
Not so with book, which in &C
cents plain can speak to your friend
the very language Of your heart.
Of course, to persons who are
hungry and cold, food and clothing
are the most sensible gifts; but,
when want is supplied, then surely
the next best thing is good book,
which feeds the mind with many a
wholesome meal and warns the
heart from the long, hard chill Of
ignorance, and makes it beat with
civilized pulse!
Take, for instance, "Irving's
Sketch Book" What a feast it
makes! And Thackeray, with all
his romantic power, and Dickens,
bubbling over with humor and flow
ing deep with pathos; and Haw-
thorne and Lamb, with their poetic
grace and beauty; and Scott, and
Burns, and Longfellow, and hosts of
other literary benefactors. Surely,
a knowledge of these adorns the
mind as diamonds and pearls adorn
the body.
We have them all-all the best
authors, clad in their holiday attire
Of cloth, and leather, and plush,
with golden edges and trimmings,
and many of them are sold cheaper
than ever before, too, though some
of the new designs and styles of
binding are elegant beyond descrip-
ton, and as beautiful as they are
durable.
In Illustrated Gift Books the art
and genius of man has reached a
climax which Nature herself may
almost envy. All publishers have
We'd with each other this season in
their endeavors to make their gift
books charming beyond resistance,
and the results of their ingenious and
successful labors can be seen on our
broad tables, tastefully displayed
In generous quantities.
And asto Juvenile Bookshelf,
language struggles, staggers and
FAILS in attempting to describe
them. "Ah, would | were boy
again!" the old man signs, as he
looks at them, for here has the
artistic book maker done some of
his best work.
Why, the very covers of some of
them would adorn the walls of
picture gallery; and as for the pict
ures, stories, poetry and music be-
tween the covers! All, we'll! would
| were boy again'
We are now publishing books
quite extensively, the last thing
from our press being new book Of
prose and poetry, by Indiana's now
famous and humorous author, poet
and lecturer-James Whitcomb
Riley. The title of the book is,
''The Boss Girl, Ca Christmas
Story and Other Sketches" 1t is a
handsome 12mo. Bound in cloth
at 81, and in paper at SOC.
Our stock is by no means con-
fined to books alone. In fancy
articles for holiday gifts, we have
plenteous variety in wood and
leather of every grade, and silk and
plush Of every shade. Our beauti-
full and commodious store is deco
rated with laurel and holly ever
green's, which add much to it's
pleasing appearance and seem to
bid the customer more cordial
welcome.

IRON TIES AND COTTON
BALES.

That the. belief generally enter
tanned by cotton planters, that the
iron lies on their cotton bales are
sold 10y them with their cotton, is
an erroneous one, is shown by tue
Charleston Ne,rs and Courier. Tie
price of cotton is fixed ut Liver
pool, and determines the rate paid
III this country. The rule governs
ing the price in the Liverpool Ex-
change il as follows: "The gross
loading weight is taken before the
cotton is mended or sampled, then
two pounds per bale draught is de-
Quoted, then the weight of bands,
the number being counted and a
small number weighed, so as to get
Mt the weight of the total humber,
and after that the tare of four
pounds per ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS re-
suit being the net weight-and if
this net weight is less than the
guaranteed weight. or per cent.
below tue gross American shipping
weight, then claim for the de-
iiciency is made" 1t is thus shown
that the weight of the ties is elm
mated from every transaction,
their cost exclusively on
the cotton producer. and that SO
far from sellin. them at the price
of cotton. he gets nothing for them
at all.
