to this country ~ years ago, from
England. They resided at Mineral
Point, Wis, for 2S years, and for
IA years have been residents of
Elglewood. Out OF family of
eleven children, nine are alive, and
six are in Englewood, all Of whom
were represented at the gathering
Of last evening, with descendants as
far as great grandchildren. A num-
Der of appropriate and beautiful
presents were received from their
relatives and old friends This is
the third golden wedding in that
family of late. The other two took

Mrs. Simon Lanyon. The three
gentlemen are brothers.
Tue Republicans of the city of
Mineral Point are entitled to the
county banner this year for act ity,
liberality, and good results. 1t is
pretty safe to say that they have
put into the campaign more money
than all the balance of the county
combined, excepting what the Re
publican county committee might
have raised; and haven't there been
a better percentage of Republican
gain in this city, over the vote of
1884, than in all the balance of the
county p? The money raised was
judiciously spent-not to buy votes,
but to convey to voters an intelli-
gent idea of the issues of the mem
orable campaign. All of this re-
quired much time and activity.

A New Device of the Trade.

From the Chicago Herald.
Yesterday afternoon the door-bell OF Michi-
gan boulevard residence was pulled by .
woman clad all in silks and sealskins. with dia-
monds flashing from her ears and two or three
gems flashing out through the artistically-cut
holes in her undressed kid gloves. The hand
maiden who oped the portal took her in at q
glance and unhesitatingly admitted her TO the
iuxuriously-furnished parlor when she asked
70 see Mrs. -, the lady of the house.
When the lady entered the parlor the woman
in silks and sealskins bowed politely and said:
Excuse me, Mrs. -, but took the liberty
of calling to see whether you or your husband
had any old dresses or clothes you would be
willing to dispose of. We pay the highest
cash price" When the lady Of the house had
sufficiently recovered herself 70 make answer
she said she had nothing in that line to dispose
of. The woman then presented her card-ths
number indicating a secondhand emporium in
the heart OF the cut-rate clothing dittrict-and
politely took her departure. There are quite

Getting Around the Law.

From the Albany Argus.
The secrecy Of grand jury chamber" is an
other legal fiction that is easily penetrated. An
instance is as follows: "A justice of sessions
was curious to learn whether the grand Jury in
a noted case had been unanimous in their find
ing of the Indictment He asked me whether
had learned concerning it. 1 replied: mo;
but can readily find out for you from Mr.. =,
your townsman," indicating a grand juror
standing on the opposite side of the street.
''Oh, no, you must not ask him." rejoined the
anxious member of the court: lit would be an
indictable offense for you to ask him. or for
him to tell you" Il don't propose to ask him,
but to get him TO tell you" replied Il will
pass over and engage him in conversation. and
then you come up and call me aside and repeat
your question loud enough for him to hear"
II took but a few minutes for me TO engage
the rural grand iurorin conversation regarding
the crop prospects of his neighborhood for an
Argus item, and then the magistrate beckoned
me off a few feet and repeated his part of the
play.
Ireplied that I had heard two versions: Zone,
that they were unanimous, and another that
they stood nineteen TO four"

Election Reform In New Orleans.

From the New Orleans Times Democrat Dec. 2
The conviction Friday of Martini. the clerk
IN the Office Of the registrar of voters who.
just previous to the late election. tempered
with the registration books and placed many
fraudulent names on them, il the first success
full attempt in New Orleans for years TO vindi-
cate the sancity of the ballot-box by furnishing
the men who through frauds of this kind ma lie
former city elections a farce and a scandal
District Attorney Gutenberg deserves the
credit for the able and vigorous manner in
which he pushed the prosecution and secured
the conviction of Martini. The trick had been
played so often before without risk that men
OF the Martini type had no tear whatever OF
punishment They dealt out fraudulent regis
tration papers, they stuffed ballot-boxes. and by
their frauds they kept in power and forced
upon New Orleans agovernment which brought
upon il scandal and impoverishment. 1t took
revolution 10 defeat them last spring. and
nothing but the firm and unfinching stand
made by the citizens prevented the old game
of fraudulent registration and stuffed ballot
boxes being played again. There has been,
we are glad TO say, disposition shown TO VIM
dictate the election laws and TO punish all vio-
lators. Many political crimes had been COM
mitted in the past, but they went altogether
unpublished. A new and better spirit prevails
to-day, for the people now know their power.
A short time ago one of the deputy sheriffs,
who, in violation of the law and 10 defeat the
election, deserted his poll and carried away the
key of tire ballot box, was convicted. Now
kind since Tom Anderson's day. They should
be followed by other prosecutions until every
man guilty Of election frauds is lodged in the

Lacey, colored. whose home is in Maryland,
not far from Brightwood, was wounded in the

hands Of another colored man named John
Lewis. The report Of the pistol shot caused
considerable excitement and broke up the
dance. The injured man was carried into the
house. His clothing over his chest satu-
rated with blood. and closer examination re-
vealed the fact that the bullet had entered his
LETT breast In the region of the heart. During
the excitement Lewis left the farm and has NOT
been seen since. He lived on the farm of VIII
ham Ray, bat he did not return there after the
shooting. Fearing the injured man would die
