HOME POLITICS FIRST.

II is not too early for. the citizens
of the county too look around for
the best men to fill the local offices,
and especially for farmers to discuss
their interest in the issues in the pc.
litical field. Both parties will have
to put out their best men if they
wish to have winning chance.
Good men must come from the PEG
pie not from the politicians, and as
their election depends upon the
voters of each party, so they should
have tue most say in the choice OF
candidates. The offices filled By re.
publicans and those filed by demo
Gratis have bean satisfactorily con.
Quoted as far as we know, and it
will take good men to succeed them;
hone other need apply to the
voters. The principal county office
is that of sheriff, and if the law al
lowed, the present incumbent would
most likely succeed himself but as
he is not eligible the Republicans
should pnsh their best man for the
place and elect him. The office OF
judge is of equal Importance, and
depends more upon the man than
his politics,-an able lawyer, a fair
and impartial mind, unbiased judg.
ment, of the highest moral charac
ter. No party can elect any other
We hope the best men of the judi
cial district will head the tickets
For the Legislature, Assessorship
and minor Offices, no professional
politicians ale wanted, but plain
honest. common-sense men. Gentle
men OF the county, look to your OWL
interests and understand y our home
wants. National politics will take
care of itself.

From the Shepherdsto,cn Register.
Mr.. Thomas Fitzgerald and family
moved from Sheperdstown to Berry,
vile this week.
Eighty persons left Hagerstown for
the West on Tuesday. They were
from the neighboring counties.
Mrs. Elizabeth Fouke, who lived in
Shepherdstown years ago, died in Mt.
Morris, ILL.,, recently. She was about
"a years old.
We understand that the establish
ment of the Shepherdstown Manufac-
turing Company will shortly be offered
at public sale.
Miss Hattie b. Buckley. daughter of
the late Major j. M. Buckley, of Jeffer-
son county, was married at Frederick
last week to Mr.. Tyler B. Wilson, OF
Chicago.
It looks pretty bad for a "dry" town
when prominent citizens take to tum-
bling to cellars promiscuously. We
don't mention any names this time,
but if it occurs again we will hew to
the line. let the chips fall where they
may.
DIR. j. G. Gibson has purchased of
Capt. FL. F. Barnhart the dwelling
house on New Street occupied by the
Captain, the price paid, we under

faster their children increase their
stock of knowledge. 1t Is fresh once
a week, and is looked for with as much
interest as promised present.
1t is said that the 81, 500, 900 obtained

1T OUGHT TO BE. THE END OF BULL
FIGHTS.

CELAYA, via CITY OF MEXICO,
April 4.--Sunday afternoon, about
four o'clock, the bull.ring here
was crowded with spectators of the
national sport. The company OF
bull,fghters from Leon was still
playing with the first bull when a
fire suddenly broke out on the sunny
side of the plaza. A panic seized
upon the vast assemblage, and a
frightful spectacle was the result.
Many women and children jumped
from the top, a distance of two hun
dred to three hundred feet, and over
one hundred of them were seriously
wounded. Eighteen lives were
lost.
Sixty eight persons we're badly
burned, and, though they still live,
at least ten of them will die this
week. Fifty persons, in escaping,
we're knocked down and tIampled
upon by the panic stricken throng,
and are seriously but not fatally in
jured.
The bulls, maddened by the roar
ing of the flames, broke loose from
their stalls and rushed through the
surging mass of humanity, tossing
aloft and knocking over all who
stood in their way. Among the
eighteen dead were two women who
were first gored to death by the
bulls and their bodies afterwards
/ burned.
/ The scenes in the neighborhood o
the bull-ring were terrible. Women
and children, Invested of their cloth
ing, and crazed with suffering from
their burns, ran aimlessIy through
the streets.
i The best society of Celaya was il
attendance. 1t was Easter Sunday
Z the return of the season of gaiet,
after lent. There was an unusua
/ number OF ladies and little children
present, and these, as often is th.
case in such events, were the suffer
ers. No maa lost his lie. The
helpless little ones and their moth
ers, who would not desert their off
spring, were the victims Of this ap
paling catastrophe. Celaya is il
mourning. On every side is th,
sound oil wailing for the loved ones
mourning for those doomed to die o
suffering, and those whose wound:
will not prove fatal. 1t is the sad
4 ,lest tragedy that has ever occurred
in the three centuries Of the city,
history.

HIS HONOR, JUDGE MORRIS.

We see by some of our exchanges
that Hon. p. w. Morris, of the Rit-
chic Gazette, is being brought ont
as a candidate for the Judgeahip in
his district. Judge Morris! He
has all the qualifications in the high
est degree for the bench. A good
lawyer, studious and hard working,
ripe experience, mature years and
sound judgment, and a mind and
temper as even and sound as steel.
The greater the emergency or the
embarrassment. the more composed
and thoughtful. He is the best
friend to his worst enemy.

4 CURIOUS USE FOR cYcLoPEDIAs.

II ~ generally understood that a
good Oyclopedia is desirable pos
session for every home. As to which
Cyclepedia is the best for popular
use, the Doctors disagree" Evil
IDENTIFY the matter OF choice should
depend somewhat upon the use for
which it is intended. A customer of
Alden's Manifold Cyclopedia writes
to the publisher as follows:
81 have been exhibiting the Man
fold among my friends and acquain-
tanees, aud expatiating Cd its excel
lence and wonderful cheapness.
There is no reason why every young
man in the land who has occasion to
refer to a encyclopedia should not pos
sess it. The laying by of but five
cents day for six months will put
bin in possession of work that
will be of lasting benefit. Among
those to whom I have shown the
volumes | found but one young man
who did not need the manifold. He
has a cyclopedia, number of large
volumes; he did not know how
many, nor did he know the name of
the editor or publisher; but they are
very large heavy volumes. Believing
he did not frequently consult them,
asked if he ever used them.
Certainly said he, / use them
every day.
&c" What can you possibly do with
them !?
"' Why | press my trousers with
them.'
"' My deaf sir, you do not need
the manifold. Mr.. Alden publishes
books for the purpose Of develop.
ing and improving the intellect, and
not to give shape to the legs. Dc
you stick to your ponderous,
unwieldly volumes, they are we'll
adapted to the purpose for which
you use cyclopedia, but the dainty
volumes of the Manifold how de-
lightiul to handle, and how beauti
full to behold-are made with view
to ease OF reference and convenience
of consultation, aud cannot be sue
cessfully converted into substitute
tor trousers stretchers.' "-EDwARD

ADDITIONAL LOCAL NEWS.
For THE HERALD.

OBrTUARY.-On Thursday, March
10Th, 1888, there was laid to rest in st.
Joseph's Cemetery the mortal remains
of James Monaghan, second oldest
son of Michael and Hanorah Mona
CHAN, aged 81 years, 8 months. p days.
This young man, after seven short
months, rallroading, brakeman on the
First Division, meets his death; an
other victim of the great man-slaugh-
terer, the railroads. VAST an accident?
So they say, and the dead man tells no
tales, nor shall it be known until
heaven reveals the truth. Many q
life has been lost by somebody's care
lessness. Some time ago there was no
such a death record as there Is to-day.
There is no protection now for the
brakeman. Look for instance at those
refrigerator cars of to-day; no man
should venture his life on them. How
sad it is, day after day to see our
loved ones go; we see gray-haired
sires cut down without moment
warning; and now we see this young
man in the morning of life brought to
premature grave by the railroads.
James was a good and a noble boy,
loved by all who knew him; now his
pleasant face and cheerful voice are
missed at home, and by all who knew
him. May he rest in peace.
Leaves have their time to fall,
And flowers to wither at the north
winds
Breath!
And stars to set,-but all
Thou hast all seasons for thine own,
Oh Death
We know when moons shall wane,
When summer birds from far shall
the sea,
When Autumn's hue shall tinge the
golden grain,
But who shall teach us when to look
for thee,
Oh Death! NJ. 81.
