to enter upon the Goth century with
clean books. Since the court adjourned
on May 25, last, &C new cases have
been docketed, Is less than the num-.
Der docketed during recess last year.
There are to-day 124 fewer cases on
the docket than there were year ago.

PESTS ON THE WING.

Mud wasps manifest great ingenuity
not only in building their nests, but in
placing them in localities where they
will not be injured by rain or preda-
.ious animals.
The wasp, like the bee and almost
every other insect, is infested with para
sites. Wasps have been captured which
had two or three dozen parasites cling.
ing to their bodies.
The eye of a fly is so constructed as to
bring the entire horizon within his
circle Of observation; a fact which ex-
plains the extreme ulertness of these in.
sects in escaping attack.
The common cheese fly il only tenth
of an inch long. 1t deposits about $50
eggs in the cracks of cheese, though, il
not able to find this substance, it readily
selects another.
The wasp is an insect highwayman
Wasps have often been observed to rob
bees while these Industrious workers,
laden with the fruits Of an expedition
are returning to the hive.
The bite of the mosquito would scarce
ly be noticed, were it not for the fact
that the insect injects into the wound
an acrid juice, which causes the itching
and painful sensation.

WOMEN FOUGHT.

Two women, who were playmates In
their youth, fought up and down Bay,
ard street, New Brunswick, for twenty
minutes on Monday. Mrs. Isaac Van
arsdalen. the sggressor in the fight, was
armed with rawhide. Her antagonist,
Mr.. Hattie Vossler, an attractive young
widow, with apartments in the Deipzer
building, on Bayard street, had no wea-
pom except an umbrella.
Mrs. Vanarsdalen is the wife of pro-
duce merchant. Gossip had connected
the young widows name with that OF
her husband. Mutual friends in the
church which both women once attend
ed tried to patch up matters, but with
out success. Mrs. Vanarsdalen says
that she thought her husband was pass
ing altogether too much time on excur-
sions and picnics with Mrs. Vossler.
Her husband was away from home all
Friday and Saturday, and she declares
he was with Mrs. Vossler. Her asser-
tions, however, are denied by Mis- Voss-
ler. AT all events Mrs. Vanaradalen
demanded an explanation from her hus-
band. She received no satisfaction
from him.
Having armed herself with raw :
hide whip, the irate wife lay in wait in
the Bayard street school. She knew
that Mrs. Vossler would pass the
school. At about s o'clock Mrs. Voss-
ler came along. Mrs. Vanarsdafen
had hidden herself, but two or three
persons who had seen her angry face
and her whip, waited in the hope of
seeing a rumpus. They were not dis
appointed, for, as Mrs. Vossler came
up Mrs. Vanarsdalen sprang out,
hourished the rawhide and screamed :
Now, are you going to stop running
around with my husband, and taking
the things that ought to come to me ?"
Mrs. Vanarsdalen followed her words
with a shower of blows on the face
and shoulders of her rival. Mrs. Voss-
Ter could do nothing but ward of the
blows with her small umbrella. Mrs.
Vanarsdalen was furious, and piled the
lash with increasing vigor. The wild
ow retreated and her assailant follow
ed her, screaming and laying the lash.
At Nelson street Mrs. Vossler tried to
escape. and Mrs. Vanarsdalen stroye
TO capture the umbrella with which
the widow was trying to protect her
self.
At length Mrs. Vossler took the offer.
sive. She made for Mrs. Vaparsdaleu
and began hand-to-hand fight. Mrs.
Vanarsdalen dropped the whip, and it
was tooth and nail. Blood flowed from
the women's faces. Their clothing was
torn and their hats were gone, but they
fought on. Their faces were covered
with scratches and cuts.
4 curious crowd had now assembled,
but no one volunteered to separate
the combatants. Finally Mrs. Vanars-
dalen wrested the umbrella from her
rival, and some of the onlookers cheer
ed. Raising the umbrella high above
her head, the angry womeo brought 1t
down upon the widow, staggering her.
Both women were now too tired to fight,
and for the first time seemed to realize
their disgrace. Each retired to near
by house and arranged their clothing
before going home. Mr.. Vaparsdalen
was witness of the fight, but did not
venture to interfere, and kept safe
distance from the scene. Mrs. Vossler
has sworn out warrant for her assail-
ants arrest.

RIGHTS OF THE CoLoRED MAN.
To the Editor of the Alexandria Gazette:

10 INC EditOr OF tne AteTdadTtd OuSette'
Please allow me space to answer
those very interesting communications,
etc., In your issue of the 18th instant.
The first one headed alexandria Re-
publicans," a proof copy of what the
Leader said in its last issue, signed Mag
nus L. Robinson, who speaks in the
highest terms of the Hon. Park Agnew
and closes on Col. Joseph L. Crupper.
The republicans and democrats have
been puzzled for twenty years to know
what side this man is on. The con-
clusioD, think, has been reached that
he Is on his own side, for in April he
was one of the leaders in the fight
against the above named gentlemen,
and it has caused the people to wonder
at such quick and wonderful change,
and they ask if he has been promised a
position. We have two others, one
be AIDED mo Harmony Yet" signed
Thomas II. Morgan, and the other
GA Colored Voter" which Mr.. Morgan
seemed afraid to sign. We know you,
Mr.. Morgan, and you covered your
head, but your feet show. We know
that you want to be chairman, but you
can't do it by Safeguarding men who
have stood by the party while you
were enjoying fat Office by our
suffrage. Remember that good advice
you once gave in the churches and Sun
day-schools. 1t was not to be chairman
of the city committee, nor canvass on
the Lords day, but to keep it holy.
A man who commands must learn first
to obey, and not be, or do, anything for
office. Let me ask, Have you missed
your calling, or are you afraid to trust
the God you told us to trust ?
Now as to ]. 81. Harrison whom Mr..
Morgan spoke of as Washington bum,
etc. He has always cast his lot and
shared his fate with US in Alexandria,
unlike the above named gentleman who
was never known politically until MIR.
Cleveland turned him out of Office. He
sprung up like mushroom in the mig ht
and wanted to be Moses to lead the
negro. suppose he had rather be the
first man in Africa than the second man
in the lily whites. He had truly for
gotten that we have plenty of negroes
more COMPETENT to lead than himself.
Therefore we are willing that he should
join the only representative mans club,
for he is certainly a Chinese puzzle to
us, and it may be that he can work out
the puzzle. 1 think The lily whites will
be glad to get rid of him before the
November election. Don't let US make
any concessions to the lily whites un-
less they are willing to give us not only
half of the committee but the secretary
also, or let us wait until the election
under the new plan of organization.
