Wee ar haveing eny amount Of troubl with
tn miserobl littl letter ''e.n It seems deter
mined TO spoil our calculations. It pops into
words where we have no intention Of putting
it, and it pops out Of words where we most
want it to appear. Only last week, when we
had something to say about the word ''diplo-
mate" the measly little re" absented itself
from the word in two or three places else
where in the paper, and made us feel as mean
as if we had reached in the dark for a cookey
and run our arm to the elbow into jar Of
preserves. But that is not the worst of it.
We can bear our own woes with some little
grace, for we are more or less accustomed to
them, but the vicious little ''en has now taken
to assaulting our friends and helpers.
Mr.. Samuel Yorke At Lee, In a learned
communication about words to yesterdays
PCstscripts, tried to say that ''decennium" is
the proper word to use where decade" is
commonly u,,sod Was Mr.. At Lee per-
mitted to that he meanti Not at all
The draft -metamorphosed, transmitted
or mete1hp chosed itself into an "a" and set
Mr. At Lee up as one who says ''decannium"
signifies period of ten years. We are going
to talk to this letter ''e." We are going to
plead with it, threaten it; yea, we are going
to yank it out of its socks and kick It up
through its collar II it doesn't quit treating
our friends In this unwarrantable manner

The club man IS, in the first place and con-
spicuously, a man who is informed Of all that
Is going on in the city. The interest which
other men give to domestic affairs is in their
case bestowed on the wsof the community.
Perhaps this tends to a wide range OF sympa-
thy, but it is impossible to deny that It tends
also to the development Of habit Of gossip
ing. II concluded a year or two ago. re-
marked gentleman not long ago, ''that
was getting too rusty and too much absorbed
in the things that went on in my own little
circle, and, as my wife had to go abroad for
her health, gave myself up to the club for
a whole winter, and when my wife came
home again she threatened to have me put in
a hospital for incurable gossips And the
worst Of it was that when / came to look the
latter over / found that she was right. ~

Thus promise the peachmen in accents gay
For the Delaware peach at the dawn of May,
But, ah, ere the May month yields to June,
The peachmen are singing different tune;
They moan while their spirits drop and drop
Therell not be more than poor half crop
OF the Delaware peach
There's been too much or not enough rain,
And that baneful bug has appeared again,
And the Shanghai weevil have seourged the
peach,
The Delaware peach;
And hail has been sweeping the orchard
through,
And the cuttingest wind that ever blew
Has torn the poor fruit trees all to Sits
And left ofthe peach crop merely some pits
And hence there is every reason to fear
That the Delaware peach will be scarce this
year;
While the prices are sure to be out of the
reach
OF all save the rich, for the Delaware peach,
The Delaware peach.
III
But the Delaware peach has beautiful way
OF paying small heed to what peachmen say.
Whatever may happen, true to its aim,
It generally gets there all the same;
Aye, the past's fruit records plainly teach
You eau safely count on the Delaware peach
On the Delaware peach:
Spite fmoth and weevil, and leech and hail
And the cuttingest blast, it will not fail
But lust as soon as the caterers deem
That the season. is ripe for peaches-aud- cream
Then voice DER the land sounds loud and
clear
And the Delaware peach exclaims, II am
here;
Pm here on time to pessimists teach
You can safely count on the Delaware peach,
On the Delaware peach"
"
I'VE, whose function it is to weave
The baskets that Delaware's peach receive,
Proceed to business: aud never fear,
At the nick of time the peach will appear,
The Delaware peach;
Aud weave ye the baskets of generous size,
And scorn ye to make them refuge of lies
The big ripe peach on top, you know,
And the snail hard failures hidden below
o quit ye that practice once for all,
And then on this vast terrestrial ball
Shall blossom the age so long foretold,
The true Millennium age of gold,
When each fellow man shall act square to
eachl-
In the meanwhile, here's to the Delaware
peach,
The Delaware peach.

The Carbon advocate. [volume] (Lehighton, Pa.) 1872-1924, 1889-01-26
NnIoHBoR, HAVE NO FEAR.

The Carbon County Court quashed the
frst Indictment against the Lehigh Valley
employees charged with responsibility for
the Mud Run disaster. The grand jury
presented new bill Friday, which stood
the test Of the Courts scrutiny, but the
trial was postponed until March. 1t is to
be hoped that this does not foreshadow an
abandonment of the prosecutions, as is
charged in some quarters. While no one
desires vindictive prosecution of the &C
cused, 1t is but just that the responsibility
for the death of more than sixty persons
should be legally fixed and the guilty par
ties punished. Needless accidents of this
kind will never cease until those whose
carelessness or inefficiency cause them are
held to strict account,-Phi!a. Times.
The positive character of District At
torney Rapsher assures an early trial of the
negligent employees charged with being re-
sponsibe for the Mud Run holacost of Oc-
tober 10, and on our knowledge of the
gentleman we can assure our esteemed con-
temporary that the prosecution will handle
their case in such manner as to place the
guilt where it rightfully belongs. The
prosecution will not be made in YinGic
tive spirit, the ends of justice and the de-
mands of common humanity will be salts
fed, and in this the prosecution will have
done their duty. What more is wanted7

A GREAT ISSUE.

The most vital issue now before the peo
pie of Pennsylvania is, be, opd question, the
Prohibition amendment. It is gigantic II
proportions, inasmuch as it directly or in
directly concerns every man, woman ant
child in this great commonwealth; IN q
moral sense it might truly be said to over
shadaw the slavery question of over quar-
ter of a century ago. On account of tn,
Importance and magnitude of this great
issue the CARBON ADVOCATE opens it,
columns to the use of its readers in dis
cussing this question that is of paramount
import 10 all. All communications mus
be plainly written, on but one side Of tn,
paper, and must be short and to the point
We don't want yard-long sentiments Of
personal abuse, but facts and arguments
that will interest the christian and the
saloon-keeper alike.

Patrick Bradley, who had been hunted
by the entire police force of Philadelphia
for weeks, was put on trial Tuesday on the
charge of entrapping young girls on the
pretense of employing them as domestics,
and Turing them to isolated parts of the
citv and park and assaulting them.
First he was tried en- the charge of
asssulting Matte Nesrs, aged 13 years, and
was convicted in thres-quarters of an
hSur.
Twenty minutes later he was convicted
OF assaulting Alice Blainv, aged 10 year
The detectives testified that he had planed
numerous other crimes, but had been
foiled. Judge Gordon sentenced him 10
solitary confinement for twenty nine years
aud eight months. A great mob hur Z
about the court and jeered the prisoner.
