Justice in the person OF fifteen-year-old Id
Edward Murray, of Railroad avenue,
who, he said. struck him on the bald spot
of his head and left Il mark. Murray ad-
mitted that he struck the old gentleman,
but says he did it because the old gem
tleman struck him the day before. Mr..
Herbert's testimony convinced the JUS
tice that he was not altogether blameless.
and he remembered that he knew many
old men who forgot that they were once
boys themselves. He reluctantly held
Murray for the Grand Jury.

over again his royal host, taking pity on
Franklin, whose little bag contained
nothing evidently but few sheets of
hotel stationery and sausage, would
carelessly leave his own manicure set
and beautifully embroidered nightie in
Ben's room, but they We're never used.
With a large and versatile jackknife,
which could do anything from opening
barrel of cider up to pruning an apple
tree or pairing the frog of horses foot,
Franklin trimmed up his nails, and as
for his slumber robe no king was smart
enough to learn what his habits were in
that regard.

AS he does so hear him quote a maxim

Mr.. Franklin was not only great, big,
brainy man, but he was thorough

Benjamin Franklin was not above

Proud of Her Position.

There was one maidsn lady who resided
IN this county who was not annoyed by the
term ''old maid" She rather gloried in it.
Often in conversation regarding the bene-
fits and evils of matrjmony, she was heard
to say: at is risky at all events 1 am
free and comfortable, and intend to re-
main So" AS she was comely, she had adj
mirers who had offered to her their hands,
hearts and fortunes, so she remained an
old maid from inclination, and not as some
malicious women were heard to say, "be-
cause she couldn't help herself" She was
true to her principles to the last. When
on her bed, during her last sickness, she
sent for dealer in marble and gave him
directions regarding the tombstone to be
placed over her grave.
Her orders were implicit, and after her
death they were carried out conscientious
ly; and the tombstone that marks the last
resting place of the old maid in a ceme-
terry not many miles from this city, over
looking a beautiful country village, con-
tains, after the name, date of birth and
death, the following terse but most en-
phatic inscription:
Unmarried and Free!

SUCCESS,
L to some theme It's thy intent to rise

If to some theme tits thy intent to rise,
Thou must attend how best to tune thy Tyre;
Else will disdain thy well picked notes inspire.
Herein the secret of true triumph lies:
When thou would'st rear work of mighty size,
Advance but slowly as a growing fire.
Scan well thy path lest hasty action tire,
Or like a flame thy ardor's impulse dies.
Proceed With hope; believe the goal in view,
Let not mere failure prey upon thy heart;
Great oaks, remember, from small acorns grew
Though it be trivial well perform thy part;
And persevering till thy labors through,
Full crowned success will into being start.

protest, resolutions We're adopted

be presented to the Democratic con.
Vention as the choice of Illinois for
president.
This is much like Gen. Palmer,
he never lets ambition interfere with
duty. He is thoroughly conscien-
tious and honest and this accounts
in a great measure for his personal
popularity. He was not candidate
for Senator, until called out, and
then would not consent to make the
race unless the Democrats should see
proper to nominate him in State con

that weighs against him for the pres

that after such a vigorous campaign,

killing of Jake Wilson yesterday
morning. The State was represented
by G. l.. Pitt, Encouragement and
the defendant was represented by NJ
Savage. The case was tried by
'Squires 7. w. Waithal and G. II.
Slaughter. There were several wit.
nesses examined, all of whom, even
to son of the murdered man, swOre
that Wilson was the aggressor and
that Collier acted in self-defense. In
addition to this it was proven that
the negro was one of the worst in the
whole country. Several men have
shot at him under pretty much the
same circumstances as those connect
ed with the killing. There was an
expression of general approval from
the audience when the magistrates
had heard the evidence ard declared
the prisoner not guilty.

Comptroller Aliens Denial

Comptroller Aliens friends are
vigorously denying that he was at all
responsible for that extraordinary
revenue bill presented to the Legis.
lature by Mr.. Atkins committee,
Reading the explanations of Mr..
Akin and Col. TansiI, as published
in the Herald, in which they arose
to II question of privilege to denounco
the Banner and Mr.. Stahlman, one
must conclude that he had Il good
deal to do with it. The whole gist
of their speeches was to the effect
that they knew nothing about that
kind of business and called upon
Mr.. Allen for information that they
had no one else to call on, that cor
porations had failed to furnish the
information, and the committee had
shut itself in to get rid of the corpo-
ratiOns, and that they were after the
Banner, Mr.. Stahlman and that class
anyhow.
We were unable to put any other
construction than this on the several
explanations, and the reading public
must have taken the same view. If
Mr.. Allen had nothing to do with
drafting the bill he certainly knew
of it, as he furnished all the infor-
nation they were able to get, and to
say the least it is very strange that
Mr.. Allen, occupying the position he
does, did not advise against such
measure.
