Ho Knew the Owner,

Tho late Judge Walker, of Aurora, Ind, was, it is said, the personifcation of pom posity. He was proud of him self, of his family, and of all his possessions. Illus trative of this trait of character, story is told of the old Judge Shortly before his death he built splendid mansion on the high hill back of Aurora. Judge Walker was inordinately proud of this house, which could be seen for miles up and down the river. One day he was returning home by steamer from Cincinnati Judge Walker no sooner caught sight of his residence than his whole attention was fixed upon it. He wondered if every one else appreciated the beauty and striking location of the house. Finally he walked up to stranger and said: "I beg pardon, but-ah-can you tell me who Is the owner of that-ah-pa- latial and beautiful mansion on the hilll'' "Yes, sir" replied the stranger, promptly. ''That old barn belongs to Judge Walker, the biggest fool in Indiana, although he thinks himself a sage" The Judges curi- osity was entirely satisfied.

delivered. In the meantime Mir Fessen- den is receiving timely warnings to keep his hands off Senator Platt's seat, ,and the Hartford Post last evening took occasion to remark that ''as long as Senator Platt is willing to serve the state in the United States senate the people will be willing and anxious that he should so serve."
 Altogether things are getting interest ing in the republican camp, and it is quite certain that there will be an ln- terest in the two succeeding legislative elections that has not been usual in re- cent contests. The democrats have very little chance, under our present absurd system of legislative representation, to secure majority in the assembly; so that they are interested in the fight
 principally for the bearing it is likely to have on the choice of senators. As be- tween Senator Platt and Sam Fessenden, or Senator Hawley and Governor Bulke- ley the democratic choice is easily made. Neither Platt nor Hawley allow any gleams of independence to break through their thick coating of partisanship, but both are honorable, high-minded, ca pablo men which is more than can be said of either of the men whose eyes are set in the direction of their senatorial seats. So long, therefore, as this demo- cratic state must be represented by men who do not represent the majority of its citizens, the democrats will be very glad to see it's present senators retained Senator Platt and Senator Hawley are head and shoulders above Fessendel and Bulkeley in all that goes to make gentleman, a scholar and representa- tive. The people know the latter as scheming politicians whose ability is con
 fined to political manipulations that are
 not always above suspicion. Bulkeley s fill
 ing and backing on liquor legislation 1T
 the last assembly earned for him the contempt of every man, whether prohi
 bitionist or the contrary, who respect:
 manly independence and self-assertion | Democrats generally, and most repub
 licans we think, will hope that Cover nor Bulkeley's still hunt will end il smoke. As for Sam Fessenden, the peo pie of the state almost without excep
 tion will hope he may be allowed to con
 tinue his legal practice and lobby fixing
 undisturbed by the distractions of sen
 atorial duties.

function of the Holy Week takes place
on the Saturday night, when, in the
dimly-lighted churches, weird and
plaintive "Miserere" is chanted by the
clergy, choristers and congregation.
One of the most surprising things in
Spain is the strong opinion held by its
inhabitants concerning thier superiority
over the rest of the world-an opinion
which, by the way, is carefully fostered
and kept alive by the clergy. Only
three weeks ago an eloquent preacher
called upon his congregation in the
course of his sermon in one of the
principal churches in Madrid to join
in a prayer of thanksgiving to God and
the Blessed Virgin, who had thought
fit to cast their lot in country 80 differ
ent from benighted foreign lands. "Look
at u.s." shouted the holy man. care we
brigands, as the Italians; wretched and
starving, as the English uneducated and
superstitious, as the Germans, and
atheists, like the Americans? No, my
brethren, we are more prosperous and
happy than all these for God has chosen
us as his own and special peo-
ple." Thereupon the congregation
stood up and joined in the
.'Te Deum" of their own virtues, and the
preacher, having wiped the perapiration
from his brow with a handkerchief of
English make, gathered his cassock of
wooden stuffs from Germany close around
him, and kissed the gilt cross of Italian
workmanship carried by the acolyte, de-
scended from the pulpit constructed of
American marble. leaving his audience
enraptured with their good fortune in be-

When you forget the beauty of the scene

Leave city walls for CLEANS of sky that lean

Steals our great joys away.

So sacred and so sweet,

The lilac blooms apart,

Is shaken on his heart.

A hush was all around
Oh, how they wake it now,

The lilac blooms apart,

The Masquerade.

The fercmens' masquerade, at the
court house on Thursday night was well
patronized, and to all appearances high
ly enjoyed by both participants and
spectators. 1t was an incongruous scene,
i'm which not only all nationalities, but
all the variegated types Of society
seemed to meet upon a common level, a
veritable social o,lapodrida, which to
the eye o! the average observer, was as
ludicrous as it was amusing. About
fifty different costumes were noted by
our reporter, among which many were
both expensive and attractive, while
others more eccentric than costly, were
SO strikingly ridiculous in charcter as to
excite the risibles Of the most sedate. A
flower girl of the masculine gender (this
is no paradox attracted exceptional at
tention by reason Of her elaborate make
up, surprising grace, and big feet, but
the sable queen Of Samoa, with the
broken fan, was simply inimitable. The
fair representatives Of "Snow" came in
for a full share Of attention, but Mrs
Mallory was unquestionably the loudest
lady in the room. Space forbids a full
description of the numerous and diversi
fed costumes presented, but we believe
we may safel, say, that a more elaborate
collection was never seen in a place o
Clusters population.
The entertainment was remarkabl,
well conducted, the supper superb, ant
the participants delighted from the be
ginning to the close.

Doherty and Wilson, the Homestake
train robbers, Oh Monday night, sue
ceeded in breaking out of the Deadwood
Jail, and along with another prisoner,
Stewart, in for petty larceny made
good their escape. The means used for
etfecting their escape was a small saw
made from a corset steel, and a brace
and bit, probably furnished by a friend
on the outside. The escaping prisoners,
after regainlng their liberty, proceeded
TO the sheritf's stable where they
saddled and mounted horses belonging
to that officer and rode quietly away,
and up to the date of latest advices
they were still at large. The following
letters were found by Jailor Harding on
the morning following their escape:
