ACCIDENT. Ferdinand Pagal, a
butcher, at Joe Nathan's slaughter
house, was dressing a hog on Monday,
when, by the breaking of Il hamstring,
the iron spreader was thrown violently
point first striking Pagal just above
the eye and inllieting a painful wound.
Ono-eight of an inch lower would have
destroyed his eyesight, and but for a
shoulder on the spreader about half an
inch from the point, which prevented
its going further, it might have pierced
his brain.

SCHOOL RANK AND SUCCESS IN LIFE.
1t is often said, in half-contemp-
tuous tone, that high rank in school or
college gives no promise of subsequent
distinction in life. Valedictorians are
rarely heard of, it is added, while stu
dents of low grade often win brilliant
success in later years. The assertion is
not founded on fact. Lord Macaulay,
in one of his great speeches in the Eng
lish Parliament, proved by reference
to English history that all the great
Parliamentary leaders in England for
century had been equally distinguished
at the schools and the universities,
He declared that the brain power
which gave energy and mastery in
study, would win distinction in litera-
ture or public life. Mr.. G. F. Thwing,
in Scribner's Monthly, shows that the
same fact is equally true in American
life. Our great men in literature, and
craftsmanship, and the professions.
have generally given promise of emil
hence during their student life With
few exceptions they were leaders in their
classes, as they afterwards became
leaders in the struggles of the world.
Idle students will do we'll to remember
that Incidence and negligent habits are
preparing them for failure in life no less
than at school. Capacity and industry
will win success anywhere. - Youths

A SPOILED GAME.

Mr. William r. Myers, an individual hap
pening for the time being to occupy the
Office of Secretary of State, attempted little
sharp practice in the Acknowledgements
case, which was properly and promptly check
mated by Judge Niblack. In company with
the eloquent" attorneys for Green Smith,
Mr.. Myers visited the Supreme Court, and
proposed to agree to a submission of the case
to that court on its merits, irrespective
of the points raised by the demurrer
for the State, and the decision Of the Circuit
Court Judge Niblack inquired for the At
torney- &c leral and Mr.. Myers replied that he
was not lis lawyer. The Judge asked him if
he had not represented him in the court be-
low, and if he [Myers] had discharged him
from the case. These questions being an
swered, the Judge asked the Secretary if he
was represented by counsel, about which
time Mr.. Michener's deputy heard
of the matter. and appeared for that gentle
man, and an agreement was reached to hear
argument on Friday, If convenient. Mr..
Kitchener was absent at Shelbyville, preparing
to remove his family to this city, and taking
advantage of his absence the lawyers for
Smith and Mr.. Myers attempted to secure an
unfair submission of the case to the appellate
court. 1t was shabby bit of practice, but,
fortunately, did not accomplish it's purpose.
The Attorney general represents the State.
This action is not against Mr.. Myers; it is
against the Secretary of State, and it affects
State matter. The Attorney general APP
pears by right in the proceeding, and
Mr.. Myers could not discharge him
if he desired to do so. After the
argument Mr.. Kitchener made, and
the result in the lower court, the
Democratic gang, to which it appears Mr.
William r. Myers belongs, evidently wanted
to take some sort of an advantage of the
Attorney General. The proceeding was of a
piece with the whole work of the gang to
overthrow the recent election and vitiate its

trial before Commissioners Van Buren,, no
right of theirs is imperiled by hearing the
evidence. If they are innocent they should
welcome the fullest investigation; it can only
be on the theory that the taking
of the testimony will hurt somebody

by the way, the able lawyers are very merry
over the idea that it is in any sense ''triap
before the Commissioner Well, after hearing
the evidence, the Commissioner has authority
to acquit either or all of the accused, and if
anybody can be acquitted of charge without
a "trial" of some sort, the fact has
escaped us. The able lawyers should
calm themselves. The intelligent and ex-
perienced counsel representing the men ar
raigned for one of the worst crimes that cou Id
