THE POLITICAL OUTLOOK.
Demorest's Monthly.

DtllioICSl . hOllnlNs
The elections this coming fall
will be more than usually inter,
esting. as they will show that new
forces are at work in the politica,
field. The old parties are practi,
cally moribund, as the issues that
gave them vitality are obsolete
The State rights doctrine
on which TIE Democratic party
was founded, was settled
by the result of the Civil War
The mission of the Republican
party came to an end with the
abolition of slavery and the recon
struction of the Union. Party
platforms are now meaningless, foI
there is no division of principle
between the rival organizations
In questions such as tariff, the
currency, and civil service reform
both parties are hopelcssly dis
united. The only contention is
for the Offices and the wars are be
tween the ms and the Outs.

The fame and good done by the

ALMosT.-MIss Polly Light, a
dark hucd damsel OF some Il or IS
gourdvinc seasons came to town
on Tuesday and charged Mr.. Viii
liam Henley, highly colorcd
Adonis OF II or Is cotton chopping
seasons with having scduccd her
from the paths of rcctitude and
virtue. Mr.. Henley was led to be-
lIevo that he had 10 marry the
"gal" or go 10 jail although he
did not want to marry he thought
il was better TO be married than to
be in Jail and he had the money on
hand to buy the license. hr. Hen
lows mother being older than he
is and having had more experience
in the ways of the world, refused
to give her consent to the forced
wedding, prefcring to test the
charge OF seduction against her boy
IN the courts of the country. The
case will be tried on its merits be-
fore Justice Hackworth ut lOa. M,
to-day, Wednesday II it is not post
poned. 1t seems that Miss Light
was engaged TO be married TO
another colorcd gentleman some
few months ago and that not only
was the day for this happy event
set, but her wedding trossean was
prepared. About the time the
wedding was to have come off the
to-be bridegroom elOpcd, going to
Austin county and then and there
marrying another woman. CIR
cumstanccs being such as TO make
it desirable for Miss Light to be a
married lady, Mr.. Henley was Sc
lected as q proper subject to be
transformed from u single man in
to a Benedict. The true inward
ness of the case will probably be
developed at the trial.

Peter Lotion and Ed. Bouldin
negroes, had n difficulty on Satur
day afternoon at Peters beer par
lor on Ant street near tho Central
depot; what the fuss was about did
not transpire. Ed was armed with
an elegant and valuable dirk knife
as sharp as a razor and with u
point as keen as a cambria needle
tho blade was trific longer than a
piece of string, say about eight
inches. He fourishcd the gleam-
ing blade like an Indian war club,
monkeyed, cnvorted and danced 4
hornpipe all around Peter, but did
not succeed in lanoing him. Peter
had British bulldog pistol about
80 caiibre and vicious looking us
the animal it is named for. Peter
turned the bulldog loose the ball
striking Ed. on the side of the
head little above the ear and
glancing off plowIng short fur
row in Eds scalp; the ball glanced
off the skull tho same
as it would off of a piece
of boiler iron if fired at it
diagonally. Both parties were
promptly arrested. Ed wanted to
kiss Peter and make up, but Mr..
Peter could not see it. Lotion
was released on bond, and Ed. was
transferred to the county Jail, he
being wanted on a charge of bur-
gIary and theft from Mr.. Glenn,
section boss on the Central road,
near Burton. The section house
was entered and 4 fine dirk and a
revolver were stolen. The dirk
found in BOuldin's possession is
believed to be Mr.. Glcnn's prop
erty. If tho charge is sustained,
Mr.. BouIdin will have an oppor
tunlty of doing the State some
service in convict camp, and will
also be dcbarred from voting the
