Out of Reach of the Spirits.

The Diss Debars, according to our dis
patches yesterday, have been sentenced to
six months in prison. Everybody who knows
anything about the charges upon which
they were convicted, except the cranks,
will agree that the sentence is altogether
too light. Gen. Diss Dollar is a man of con-
siderable ability, and has held a number of
influential and honorable positions. He
appears to have led a very respectable life
until he met Nine. Diss Debar, and then
the evil in his nature came to the front and
the good, what little there was, took back
seat.
Nine. Diss Debar is a thorough ad-
ventures. 1t would not be an easy matter
to match her for shrewdness. For years
she has been living on her wits, and it is
doubtful if any reformation in her charac-
ter will be worked while she is living at the
expense of the state.
1t is not exactly clear when the Diss
Debars concocted the scheme of getting
possession of a large portion of the property
of Luther Marsh, the old New York LAWYER.
for swindling whom they are being pun
ished, but when they had concocted it they
carried it out with skill and nerve that
were as admirable as they were surprising.
1t is remarkable that a lawyer, particularly
one who has made a great fortune in the
practice of his profession, and who at one
time, was a partner of Daniel Webster,
should have been swindled by a couple of
vulgar sharpers. The only explain alton is
that years have dulled his wits, or else he
Is not altogether sane. 1t must be admitted,
however, that he is sane enough upon all
questions except that of spiritualisn. He
believed, and still believes, that Madame
Diss Debar has communication with disem-
bodied spirits, and that through her agency
portraits of worthless, long since dead and
turned to dust, were produced in his pres
once by spirit hands and in a suspiciously
short time.
If such adventures as the Diss Debars
were permitted to go UNPUBLISHED for their
crime any thief or murderer might claim
exemption from the penalties of the law on
the ground that they we're influenced to dc
their evil deeds by the spirits which con-
trolled them.
1t is marvellous how many people there
are who are always ready to believe in
what appears to be supernatural. Doubt
less great many apparently sane people
believe that the Diss Debars are being per-
secuted, and that Nine Diss Debar has com
munication with the spirit world, and really
induces spirits to paint portraits for her.
If'she fails to exhibit any spirit pictures
while in prison, however, where the oppor-
tunities for practicing fraud are absent. the
faith of those who believe in her ought tc
receive shock from which it would not
quickly recover

A Policeman Studies the Latest in
Weddings.

1t is quite obvious, says the Boston Record,
that some of the policemen who are called upon
to stand guard at the church doors during these
DAYS of June weddings are learning a thing or
two anent heightened" methods of ''gittin'
htched."
At Back bay church wedding, one day this
week, a cop stood guard as the bride and her
''maid of honor entered the main door, and
stood a moment while the attendant arranged
their trains preparatory to the state transit I'D

entrances were closed, and through the glass of
one of them the good natured guardian of the

turning to him.
'Blest eff l know; either one on ems good

Several Queer Verdicts.

The duties of those who serve on coroners
juries do not ordinarily suggest anything very
funny, and yet some laughabe results come from
their work, particularly IL they do not exactly un
derstand what is expected of them. An anus
ing story is told of a verdict brought in by a
western jury impanelled to inquire into the
cause of the death of a man supposed to have
committed suicide. The verdict was brief and
to the point the foreman saying simply:
I'VE, the jury, find the deceased guilty as
charged"
Another jury examined great many wit
nesses in the case of o man run over by a rail.
road engine. The verdict was:
I'VE find him to have come to his death by
being cut in two by railroad engine, whereby
he could not breathe hence he choked to
death"
A coroners jury in the backwoods OF Mis-.
sour heard all the evidence in the case of a
man killed by a runaway team, and brought in
the following verdict:
The jury finds the dead deceased to have
come to his death at the hands of a runaway
team, the horses thereof being blameless, they
being frightened by a dog"
II is told of an old German that he sat stolidly
and stupidity on coroner's jury and listened to
all the evidence after which he walked over
toward the corpse with some degree of curiosity.
Lifting the cloth he started back, turned to the
other Jurymen in amazement and alright, and
cried out:

jury in Missouri rural community de-
liberated three hours over the corpse of a wo-

A man, supposed to be tramp. was found
dead in the woods out west. A jury inquired
into the cause of his death, and reported as fol-

The Republican Convention.

The republican conven ton is in session,
and vet there is as much doubt as to who
will be nominated as there was a week ago
Blaine's Florence and Paris letters of with
drawal appear to have been forgotten by a
great number Of delegates, and they are
shouting for him with us much earnestness
and enthusiasm as if he had written letters
declaring himself to be a candidate Indeed
the only effect the letters of withdrawal ap-
pear to have had was to strengthen the
determination to nominate their author
Some of the delegates are SO anxious to
nominate Blaine that they cannot be in
duced to give complimentary vote to the
favorite sons of their respective states,
although they are continually told that the
plan is to give Blaine a chance TO say, in the
event of his nomination, that the conven-
ton being unable to agree upon any other
candidate, and having called upon him with
a united voice to be the party's standard
bearer, he will accept the position. 1t GER
tainly looks as if Blaine would be nomi-
mated, and as if the second place on the
ticket would be given to an Indiana man.

A little Yorkshire lass, IL years old, has
just reached Pittsburg, Pa, after journey
from England unaccompanied. Until she
started for America she had never been
away from home. Several years ago her
uncle, John Kay of Pittsburg, saw her and
was so much pleased with her that lately he
wrote for her to come and live with him.
She started for America with tag fastened
TO her waist, and on which was Mr.. Kay's
address, but when she arrived in Pittsburg
her uncle, by some mistake, was not at the
station to meet her, and she was placed on
the street car and landed in front of his
home. When this little girl becomes an old
woman, she will delight her grandchildren,
perhaps, by telling them how she travelled
to America from England alone when
child.

Didn't Know His Wife.

One day last week, says the Topical Talker''
of the Pittsburg Dispatch, very estimable old
gentleman-let him be Mr. Blank for this occa-
sion-stepped into his brothers brokerage
office to transact some business. The broker
was out, so Mr. Blank sat down in a corner of
the Office, which, by the way, is one of the
darkest on Fourth avenue, to wait.
few minutes afterward Mrs Blank entered,
and without greeting her husband, took a seat.
Mr. Blank arose from his chair, and came
across the room, saying: Good morning.
Pleasant day, my dear" and then he added:
''Excuse me, ma am; took you for one of my
nieces.'
Mrs. Blank replied: "Good morning" and said
nothing more, because she thought her husband
was joking with her.
After waiting few minutes she left the
office Then the office-boy turned to Mr.. Bla nix
and said: Don't you know who that lady is?'
mo" replied Mr.. Blank, who evidently felt
very uncomfortable about the mistake he
thought he made.
at was your wife"
The condition of that old gentleman's mind
for the next ten minutes was something ter
rible And when his brother came in he found
Mr. Blank making calculations on the blotting
pad as to the price of diamond pin, and tram
ing suitable apology to be handed to Mrs.
Blank.
Mr. Blank assures his friends that he will
know his wife at all hazards in the future
whenever and wherever he may meet her.
And this story is strictly true.

He Did Not Walk.
From the idea.

The heavy hearted villain of the stranded
comedy company walked boldly into the office
of the railroad superintendent, and greeted that
responsible dignitary with familiar nod.
Unabashed by the astonished look in the eyes
of the stiff necked official, he introduced his
business without waiting to be prompted.
Say l want you to give me pass to Bos-
ton"
"A pass?-to Boston? What for. sr?"
Because live down that way"
THAT may be- sir; but what claim have you
on this road? We can't do it for you"
The villain hesitated, but was not lost.

Bismarck,s official organ. the North &c,

Bismarck's official organ, the North Ger
man Gazette, is highly pleased with the
denomination of Mr.. Cleveland, and says of
him: Cleveland unites the unflinching
integrity and fidelity to the constitution of
a Washington with the popularity and
patriotism of Lincoln. He is the chief
officer of a great nation, not President
who is elected TO office by party" The
protectionist organs which raise great cry
every time an English journal praises Mr.
Cleveland will be good enough to notice
that the above high compliment comes from
a strong protectionist journal in Germany.
No doubt it is praise well meant and well
deserved

mas had plenty of time to get in good
humor since the President vetoed the bill
for a public building at Allentown, Pa,
but he has not awaited himself of it. He
seems to be implacable The other day he
gave vent to his feelings by pronouncing
the democratic platform "a fraud on the

Congressman doesn't behave himself some
body will be using it in connection with

An Appeal to Ignorance.

From the Nashville Democrat (Dent)
So long as the republican party could work
on the negro's prejudices and make him be-
elected he would be put back into slavery, they
held him as that much property to be voted as
one man in elections But the colored people
are beginning to see how they were fooled So
with manufacturers and their organs; if they
can make their laborers believe that a reduc-
ton of taxes means reduction of wages, they
will own them body and soul, and vote them
against their own interest. They are appealing
to their ignorance and credulity just as the re-
publicans did the negroes years ago.

the young man is not correctly reported,
but if he said what is attributed to him, he
is not far from the truth. Democrats who
place their hopes on carrying Ohio are
likely to be disappointed. Ohio is about
the only state which is influenced by bloody
