Curious suit for the Non-Delivery of "a
Telegram.

TRENTON, NJ, Sept. "A rather odd
suit was begun in the Supreme Court yes
terday against the Hotel Windsor. The
Windsor had among its guests a few weeks
ago Charles j. Campbell, who was wanted
as detaulter from the Steinway and
Hunters Point railway, Long Island
Although travelling under an assumed
name he was recognized by Dr. f. Ring, a
Trenton salesman, who at once commun-
Gated with the railroad company. The
company telegraphed back to hold Camp
bell, and that he, Ring, would be properly
compensated. Both Ring and Campbell
were stopping at the Windsor, and by
some mistake Campbell got the telegram,
and on reading its contents Immediately
sklpred.' Ring yesterday began suit
for $1,000 damages against a. V. Manning,
proprietor Of the hotel, alleging that
through acknowledgement in the hotel his
telegram was allowed to reach Campbell,
thereby causing the complainant to lose a
large amount of money. Campbell TUNED
up subsequently and settled his account
with the com pany.

Colonel Norris Blunder.

From the Pittsburg Post
Colonel Quay's candidate for Auditor
General, Major Norris, is getting into
hot water. At Gettysburg the other
day he opened his campaign with a
furious assault upon the Third Army
Corps and upon General Sickles, who
with his friends has replied in person
giving Norris the lie. They go furth.
er and say Norris knew he was mis-
taken as to alleged facts related before
he made his speech, but said it was too
late to avoid the error, as his address
was in print. OF course the cid sold
iers are intensely angered at him, not
only for his misrepresentation but for
the i'll taste he displayed in turning the
occasion to one of controversy and al
tercation. The reception given to Ger
eral Sickles and the increased affection
shown him since the Norris attack, 60
further to prove with what disfavor it
has been received. The Republican
politicians are apprehensive that Norris
will continue to make a fool of him
self. He was not put on the ticket for
bis gift of CAB, but because he could
be relied on by the bosses, managers
and spectators of the Treasury ring
to help administer big treasury bal
ance.

The President has been vigorously
attacked in the Senate for his free use
of the veto power IN cutting off pen
sion bills that had not sufficient merit
TO get through the Pension Office.
Thousands of dollars were recklessly
voted away by congress, but the Presi
dent as the Watchdog If the Treasury
has set the seal of condemnation upon
the practice, and he will be sustained
in his action. Tie is not likely to be
inundated by pension sharks even
though they wear the garb of United
States Senators. All honest soldiers
will thank the President for his efforts
in putting stop to the run on the
treasury by mere pretenders, and the
campaign literature which republican
senators are endeavoring to manufac-
ture out of this matter will fall fiat be-
fore public that knows how to ad
mire an honest and fearless admins
tration.

Change in Rules.

The Rules of the Democratic party
as amended last year made change
in the manner of voting for delegates.
Heretofore the cumulative system has
been in use, but that is abolished and
the rule is as follows "Voters at
delegate elections may cast as many
votes as there are delegates to be
elected, but not more than one vote
for any one delegate. And in the case
of tie vote between delegates, the
question shall be decided by drawing
lots tie upon instl uctions from a

One evening in September, a re- markable mirage was seen at Valla, in the province of Sudermania, Sweden. It appeared first as great cloud bank, stretching from southwest to north, which gradually separated, each cloud having the appearance of a monitor. 1n the course of five minutes one had changed to great whale blowing column of water into the air, and the other crocodile. From time to time the clouds took the appearance of various animals, and finally that of a small wood. Afterwards they changed to a pavilion, where people were dancing, the players being also clearly visible. Once again the spectacle changed, now into a wooded island with buildings and parks. At nine o'clock the clouds had disappeared, leaving the sky perfectly clear. The air was.calm at the time of the dis play, the 6mperature being six de- grees centigrade.

It is understood to be the Queen s pleasure that the jubilee of her reign should not be celebrated until the com pletiOn of fifty years from her acces- sion. That period will be accomplish ed on June 20, 1887. Her Majesty's will is law in this as in more impor- tant matters; and her subjects ought to be grateful to her for relieving them from some perplexity. In the land of Israel, according to the book of Levitt ieus, the whole fiftieth year was to be hallowed, and was proclaimed "a jubilee" If Her Majesty's jubilee, like Hebrew jubilee, were to occupy an entire twelvemonth, the jubilee of the reign would begin in June, 1886, and conclude in June, 1887.
