A REPUBLICAN SCHEME.

Every democrat should consider it his duty to attend to.night's town meeting. Matters of much importance are to be acted upon. By refusing to sign the call for meeting, upon petition of twenty three taxpayers, all of whom, by the, way were democrats, Selectman Pinney left himself liable to the severest criti- cism. It was clearly his duty to sign the warning, under the provisions of the general statutes, and his own personal feelings should not have been allowed to influence him. Happily the power to prevent the meeting from being held did not rest with Mir Pinney, as by law a majority of the selectmen may call a town meeting. Upon discovering this fact the republican leaders put their head together and decided to place a democrat in charge of the town roads, temporarily, ia the hope of creating in- ternal dissentions in the democratic ranks and by a fusion of republicans and dem' crats carry their point at the town meeting. This is the scheme and every good de nocrat should e on hand to thwart it. Vote as a unit upon mat ters of political nature.

Early Society Ruis.

One of the absurdities of the day Is the manner in which young schoolgirls from fifteen to seventeen are allowed to emulate their elder sisters in indulg- ing in social dissipation, says the Bos- ton Gazette. During the recent season there have not only been dancing classes but also private cotillons and dinner parties given for children who should either be asleep or in the nurse ry. If dinners are to be given for the ''doves," as the ''sub-doves" arc often called, what is left for them when they really are introduced into society? 1t is no wonder that some of the debu- tantes of the last few seasons have been found to be well versed in the ways of the world, and ready to go quite as far as their elders, when it is considered that the bloom of maidenly freshness has been taken off at innumerable cotillons, dances, sleighing parties and dinners. Mothers would do well to re- fuse to allow their daughters so much social liberty while they are at school, for they will find If this continues that their "buds," when presented to full grown society, lack the charm that in- genuousness alone gives to young girls.

PARNELL'S STRENGTH.
Gladstone Surprised Over the Irish Lead
 er's Vote in Sligo.

Gladstone Surprised Over the Irish Lead
 CTS Vote in Sligo.
 LONDON, April 4.-The result of the election at Sligo has not been received with satisfaction by the Liberal leaders. MT. Gladstone is said to be surprised as we'll as disappointed by the strength which Parnel has shown, in face of the united efforts of the English Liberal party, the Irish hierarchy. and the new National Federation.
 Parnell is acknowledged now to be the representative of formidable minority, which, while not strong enough to have its own way, is too strong to be treated with anything like indifference.
 A leading Liberal M. P. said that the majority was 1000 short of being de- cisive Nothing could show" said he, "more strikingly the wonderful influence of Parnell than the fact that, almost sin gle handed, with most of his abler lieu tenants absent from the country, and with the terrible weight of the O'Shea divorce upon him, he should be able to poll such 8 vote against a popular resi- dent of Sligo with a candidate almost un- known in Sligo, and against other united interests, making combination to all appearances more powerful than any ever before arrayed in an Irish election" |"
 The Sligo election has not tended to restore Liberal enthusiasm for home rule, and the general sentiment seems to be to make home rule a secondary issue in Eng fish Liberal politics.

TIE BLAND poLLAR.
Romance About the Head of Liberty en
 This Coin. FFr


 This Coin.
 There was a curious story about the head of Liberty, says the Illustrated American, ou the obverse of the Bland dollar. This is said to be modelled from the head of Miss Anna w. Williams, now instructor of philosophy and meth ods of kindergarten training at the Girls normal school in Philadelphia. At the time the Bland dollar made its first appearance, the secret leaked out some how, and to avoid the notoriety the most indefatigable efforts were made to deny the fact, and even to this day h is difficult to get any of Miss Williams friends who are in the secret to admit 1t. Her name went broadcast over the land, however, and from almost every quarter of the globe she was deluged with the most pressing and fattering offers of marriage. Miss Williams waa a student of the Academy of Fine Arts when Engraver George Morgan, who made the pattern from which the dol lar was copied, was casting about for a model. Some ladies among the students at the academy were selected to pose. The contour of Miss Williams features was chosen as coming nearest to the pure Grecian ideal. Before the pattern was finally adopted it was sent to the academy to get the opinion of some artists as to It's artistic merits. The profile was criticised in several particu- lars, chief among which was what was regarded as too prominent chin. But the authorities at the mint thought it one of the most beautiful types of face that was ever submitted for the head of a coin, and it was adopted. As. to it's strong resemblance to the original, those who see Miss Williams oftenest are best able to testify. It is considered n good likeness, but drawn somewhat finer than the living model Mir. Nor gan, by the way, is an Englishman, and some people insist that he has managed to declare his origin in the Bland" dol lar. By holding the coin with the date uppermost, and covering the figure on a line across the eye to the hair, the pro- file develops likeness of King George, the chin being his nose. Holding the coin in the same position and covering the medallion on line from the chin to the base of the cap, the curl of the hair develops lion with its nose facing | left.

One Case in Which It S0othed Two Saw
 age Breasts.
 Husband and wife had been quarrel ling, says Columbus paper. The trouble began in the house, but the belligerents had reached the sidewalk, where hostil- ities were resumed. She declared in the heat of passion that she would not live with him another hour. He retorted that it didn't make any difference, the quicker the separation came the better it would be for both.
 The husband, raising his voice to a high pitch, said:
 "This ends all relations between us"
 ''Go," said the wife, ''I do not care now, for our home is only in name."
 Suddenly thero burst upon the night the strains of "Home, Sweet Home." 1t was the music of an orchestra that had just then begun a serenade to a resident near by. It seems that the company of musicians had beon inspired, for the piece was never rendered any better than it was that night.
 The husband and wife ceased quarrel ling, and both stood as if rooted to the spot. The effect upon them could be seen at glance. Both were weeping. There was brief but terrific struggle between duty and pride.
 The husband glanced at the wife in a pitiful sort of way, and his look was re- turned. As the strains of the great song were dying away, they rushed into each others arms. The love of former years was then and there renewed.

SPEAKING of the political situation in Connecticut the independent Boston Herald says: It is good deal like the case of the returning board in Louisiana in 1876, with the returning board left out, only the position of the parties was reversed; and. of course, the parties hastened to reverse their attitude ac- cordingly. The equity of the case was, however, with the democrats, whom the republicans, if they were not dis tinctly hoggish in disposition, would be glad to, aid to an office once in a while, to which their preponderance in the state almost entities them, rather than to exclude them from it on a techni- cality.

Impaired EyesIght.

The number of persons in town who wear eyeglasses is astonishing; the number of children wearing them is ap- palling. A large proportion of the pu- pills in the higher classes of the public schools, says the New York Sun, are obliged to wear glasses, particularly in the girls schools. Pickering gaslight, long hours of reading and study, and badly-ighted classrooms are among the causes of eye weakness with the young people, but the amazing spread of the reading habit is at the bottom of the general trouble. As an oculist ex- presses it: ''We are all taking up the habit of reading, but the habit is so new with the masses that they have not learned how to do it without damaging their sight"

A Calf That Hunts Rabbits.

Sheffield can now boast the prize calf of Georgia It is a calf which is far ahead of all the snake stories of the state-a calf that grows wild at the sight of a rabbit. Recently 1t gave Q rabbit a lively chase, making it take
 shelter in Q hollow tree. The calf would then bleat until some one would come and catch the game. It Is owned by an estimable lady of Sheffield, but she positively refused to lend the calf for others to hunt with. G-b s@F s2 4z.

HIS LIFE N DANGER
Detective O'Malley Surrenders
 in New Orleans.
PROMPTLY RELEASED ON BAIL
He Displays Great Goodness and Parades
 Through the City Alone.

The Vigilance Committee Hold a Meeting and Discuss the Notorious Detsctive's Return-several Members Wanted to Hang Him to a Lamp POst-It Was De- cided to Let the Law Take Its Course.
 NEW ORLEANS, La, April 4.-Dominick Q. o'Malley, the notorious detective, who was charged with having attempted to pack the jury in the Hennessey case, ere Rted a sensation during the morning by surrendering himself.
 He drove to to the Criminal Court with his attorney and James Barry and gave himself up to Chief Deputy Sheriff Ar noult. His bail was fixed at $3,000 and Mir. Barry signed the bond.
 O'Malley looks we'll, though rather pale. He says he will make a public statement. He would not tell whether he left the city CT not. Barry says he has been here all the time.
 On leaving the court room O'Malley walked alone down Camp street, stopping here and there to chat with acquaint- ances, and wound up at pool room on Gravier street, where he mingled with the crowd.
 He was the observed of all, and watched the odds being placed on blackboards.
 The Daily States, the editor of which is a member of the Committee of Safety, in a leading editorial, says O'Malley has sur rendered to the law officers. He must be accorded 8 fair trial, and not . hair of his head must be touched save by the hands of the law. The righteous ven. geance of tho people was finished on March 14, and the State now demands for him an open trial in the courts.
 His appearance alone on the streets to- day is thought by all to be a very plucky performance.
 There are rumors that the States ut terances will not bind the committee and that O'Malley will yet be captured and hung up, as the committee gave him orders never to return to New Orleans.
 If these rumors be correct, lively times may be looked for.
 One thing is certain, O'Malley will not give up life without hurting somebody.
 The committee of safety met during tho afternoon to discuss O'Malley's return The attendance was not as large as usual
 After considerable discussion it wa: resolved to delay action until after O'Mal ley had his trial before the court, but i the court failed to convict, then to act,

THE decree nisi obtained by Captain o'Shea against his wife will assume the character and force of an absolute di- vorce in six weeks, which fact is greatly increasing the discussion of the question whether Mir Parnell will avail himself of the opportunity offered to make the lady his wife. It has all along been ad- mitted that the couple have intended to be married so soon as they could legally do so, but it is now stated the wedding is extremely unlikely to take place, not. however, through any disinclination on the part of Parnell. It is learned upon excellent authority that the objection proceeds from Mrs O'Shea, who, it is alleged, has become disgusted with Mir Parnell's conduct, and now believes the gentleman is actuated by no higher motive in wishing to become her hus- band than to obtain possession of her money to bolster up his personal cause.

THERE has been extensive comment and congratulation over the fact that Cupid had so prominent a part in settling the Hatfield-McCoy feud in West Virginia. The event is pleasing to contemplate, but how many of the 200 murders growing out of the feud have been directly due to the invincibIe de- termination of some Hatfield youth and Mccoy damsel to wed, though their parents and relatives swore big oaths that it should not be. And they kept their baths, even to shooting down a whole wedding party in a church. Still the fear of death and the ostracism of family could not prevent the young peo- pie of the hostile factions from falling in love and marry ing. The story of "Romeo and JuIiet," with slight modi- fications, is common in the West Vir- ginia mountains.

QUITE likely. the women will be pleased with cht aper candy, but cater ing to their sweet tooth isn't going to make them altogether oblivious of the fact that far more than what they save on their candy is swallowed up by the increased price they must pay for about all the clothes they wear. The women who revolted against Mckinley prices last fall are not likely to be converted by sugar plums.

Austria Win Not Make Trouble.

VIENNA, April 4-Very little interest has been aroused here by the reported slaughter in America of 6 number of Huns and Galician Poles. The emigra- tion of that kind is from tho lowest dregs of the empire, and the Austrian govern ment is the most aristocratic in Europe, even tho electors being mostly of sub utterance has been given on the subject, but it is stated on usually well-informed authority that there would not be an of ficial inquiry into the matter.

HONEST toll is sometimes rewarded. It is related that young man camping in the Sierras discovered and captured a butterfly of an unusual species. He sent it to the Smithsonian institution at Washington and received a check for sl,500, with the request to make careful search for other moths of the some kind. It is an individual of fossil species, supposed to be extinct, and great was the excitement among scientists at the discovery that one of the race had been recently alive. Although diligent search has been made by men paid for the ser vice no other specimen has been found.

FROM what can be learned it is pretty safe to say that MT Harrison is fully pre- pared, in certain contingencies,to to elevate d negro to the bench; but whether Lang ston or one of the half a dozen other negroes whose applicantions hays been filed, is not apparent. One of the con- tingencies referred to is public opinion and there is good reason for believing that some of these runlors about Lang ston's appointment emanated directly from the white house, and were started expressly for the purpose of feeling the pulse of the public on the subject, and that MT Harrison is very carefully studying what is said about it in the newspapers.
