| BE NOT too harsh with those whom
circumstances brand as having done a
wrong without a cause 'Be slow TO
anger" but swift to grant forgiveness,
for ye know not what the heart con-
ceals. In every human heart there lies,
dark yelled from public view, skeleton
whose Whitened bones CLEAN constantly
and drear; and it is well the world at
large is never saddeued by the knowl-
edge of the hidden SORROWS of mankind.
Many heartache never finds express
sion in the face, and many a grief is
borne without an outward show that
it is gnawing out the life and hast'ning
to the grave the poor unfortunate
whose manly pride OF woman's fortitude
prevents the paling lips, the burning eye
or trembling tongue from giving trai-
tor sign that may disclose the weight of
grief the Individual bears. MARS in
thousands mourn,'' but if, forsooth,
| there is no outward sign we are too
often prone to quick condemn, without
thought that pride, or love, ambition
hope or fear may seal the face or chill
the tongue and bury in the heart the
pain OF an unjust and wrongful accusa-
ton. s'He did the best he knew will
be the epitaph the hand of God will
write upon the tomb of many a suff' ring
one the world has never understood;
and on the great, grand book of human
life the sins that MAN has charged will
be o'erbalanced by the virtues GOD has
known.

POLICE COURT.
John Bowes Receives a Heavy Sentence
For Resisting OflCer Mccarthy.

John Bowes Receives a Heavy Sentence
For Resisting Ohicer Mccarthy.
About o'clock yesterday afternoon
Officer Mccarthy noticed several men
standing at the corner of Baldwin and
Washington streets interfering with
people as they were passing by. He
asked them to move on, but only re-
ceived insolence. He took hold of one of
the party named John Bowes, and tried
to move him from the corner. Bowes
resisted and in a moment both were roll
ing on the ground. Officer Mccarthy
was severely kicked and beaten by
Bowes' two companions. He received
a bad bruise on the head, one hand was
almost disabled and his coat was almost
torn from his back. He held to his
man, however, until Officer Pagan ar
rived on the scene. The other two in
the meantime had escaped. Bowes
was taken to the station. Here the Off
Ger showed a cut through his clothes,
which he claimed Bowes had cut with a
knife while they were struggling. About
200 people followed the officers as they
were escorting Bowes to the police
station. This morning charges OF
drunkenness and resistance were made
against him. Judge Bradstreet fined
him $25 and costs and ninety days in
Jail for resistance and thirty days and
costs for drunkenness. After sentence
had been passed Judge Cowell came in
and asked to have the latter sentence
changed to a fine. This was done and
he was fined $50 and costs. This was
paid and an appeal was taken in the
first case. Bowes claims that he was on
private property when arrested and was
not disturbing the peace. He has been
working for several months, he says, and
troubled nobody.

KEEPING IT DARK.
The Proposed Amendments to the Horse
Railroad CompAny's Charter.

The Proposed Amendment to the Horse
Railroad Company's Charter.
The court of common council will
hold an adjourned meeting tonight.
One matter that should be discussed is
the proposed amendment to the charter
of the Horse Railroad Co, a hearing
upon which will be given by the legisla-
tive committee tomorrow. Attorney
Terry, counsel for the Horse Railroad
Co, was waited upon by DEMOCRAT
reporter few days ago, and refused to
furnish for publication a copy of the
proposed amendment. There seems to
be a systematic effort all along the line
to keep the matter quiet, and it is the
duty of the city attorney to
turn on the full light at to-night's
meeting. Under the provisions of the
amendment, a committee of outsiders
will decide all questions pertaining to
layout, etc, upon which the selectmen
or road board, as the case may be, can
not agree with the Horse Railroad Co
The taxpayers and citizens of the town
have no voice in the matter. Then, il
the railroad company wish to run q
siding into your front yard, or make 6
station of your verandah, they can con
denim the land. And finally they ask
for the right of way in any street they
may see fit to lay rails, without penalty
in case they do not extend their lines
They may enter new streets next yea
or never as they see fit, because under
the provisions of the amendment al
competition Is crowded out. The mem
bers of the council have a duty to per
form,

Rounh on the Men.

The society buds of Bridgeport gave a
ball Friday evening and there was a
large assortment of wall-flowers-but
these were all men. There were fifty
girls, and they very craftily invited 100
young men, all of whom went. The
minimum number of men frozen out on
each dance was exactly fifty, and they
tried to look as if they enjoyed it.
