Corsican Women,

As a rule Corsican women are not beautiful, though some of the yGtng and middle aged are decidedly hand some. Brave and faithful, we find them on occasions developing into heroines of the truest type. A Corsican woman is destined to be a docile wife, to work for her husband, bring up his children and keep his castle in good working or- der.

 One of the most difficult questions for the average mother to solve at the present season is what to put into those important trunks which in thousands of households busy hands are prepar- ing for the first term at college or boarding school. It is not alone cloth ing that is needed, but many other arti- cles which would not occur to the inex- perienced mother. How many of each piece?" is also an important problem

PENNSYLVANIA COURTS.


1t would seem that under Republican
rule in Pennsylvania the courts are
ready to serve the party and Senate
Qnay. A case in point has just trans
pired in the prosecution of the Q lays
and ex'State Treasurer Haywood. When
Quay WAS indicted he wanted a speedy
trial and prompt vindication." But
the postponements we're obtained at the
instance OF Quay, and then came the
certiorari proceedings all to cause de-
lay and accommodate the defendants,
and take the case out Of the hands of the
present states attorney, Mr.. Graham.
Two supreme court judges were got
from distant counties of the state to is
sue privately the certiorari. The Phila-
delphia Press, the leading Republican
paper Of the state, to which party these
judges belong, declares their action 'un-
usual and reprehensible," and sit. mo-
tive not justice, but politics. 1t is also
said that before these two judges were
got application bad been made to tour
supreme judges in Philadelphia, and the
CertioraTi refused. Then Judges Green
and Mitchell we're sent for, brought to
Philadelphia, and successful application
msde to them. The Press cites facts to
prove that Quay's counsel had prior
knowledge the certiorari would issue
and the case sidetracked.
Itlooks asst the supreme court Of Penn
sylvania was Republican machine; and
this may show the forecast Of Mr.. Quay
for it is well for some people to provide
against possible emergency. Of course
this step is taken to delay or defeat
justice, not promote it. The Pittsburg
Post thus quotes from the late Justice
Black:
In the case Of the Commonwealth VS.
simpson I'D Grant, 4i4) Chet Justice
jeremiah s. Black had occasion to dis
cuss the staying of criminal proceedings
by certiorari, and had this to say of the
pernicious practice:
1t is clear that we have the power Of
bringing criminal cases into this court
for trial by certorari, but we ought not
to have it. 1t has never yet been exer-
cised for the punishment of offenders,
bat it has often had the effect of screen
ing them from justice. OF the numer.
ous removals which have been made in
fifty years not one has resulted in con.
viction, and nine out OF ten have never
been tried. The authority to arrest the
course of justice by sending the most
atrocious criminals into forum where,
judging by the past, they are nearly
sure to escape, should not be given to
any man. We can trust ourselves to
exert itsparingly and judiciously, but we
will not be here forever; and, while we
are here, the less discretion we have In
such matters the better. make these
remarks in the hope of calling to the
subject the attention Of that depart
ment of the government which alone
can give remedy for what am sure is
q great evil.

not cure the evil as advised by Judge
Black, and that II was left to serve the
political purpose of our judge.making

A Cbristmns sketch.

George Scribbler had saved up $50 with
which he intended to buy a Christmas
present for his wife and toys and candles
for the babies. He took the money from
his writing desk the day before Christmas
and started out to make his purchases.
So engrossed was he with thoughts Of
what he intended TO buy that he did not
observe two eight fingered gentlemen,
one Of whom jostled against him In tho
crowded street, while the other one neatly
extracted his purse from his pocket with
the $50 which he had pinehed himself 30
much to save.
He went into ono Of the largo stores OF
the city, selected the goods no wanted and
felt for the money to pay for them. The
pocketbook of course was gone. Ho felt
hurriedly in every pocket, but there was
no trace Of the wallet. Like flash he re-
membered the man who had jostled against
him and recalled how queerly he acted.
His pocket had been picked. He felt for
his watch. Luckily the pickpookots had
not secured that.
"Put those things on the shelf for a lit
tie while," no said, "and win return for
them"
That wife and the little ones got their
Christmas presents that year, and pawn

Senator Turpie, of Indiana, in his
speech on the Nicaraguan canal said he
wss not opposed to the construction of
an isthmian canal, but is opposed to
any ENHANCEMENT Of the government
with the discredited and moribund
Maritime Canal Company. He is will
ing that the government shall under
take the whole work of constructing the
Nicsraguan canal. But the senator in
sists that the pending bill, in the inter.

across the isthmus, but to "cut q chan

Reports of southern railways show
that the development of new industries
throughout that section Of the country
is rapidly increasing, More than 800
new factories have been located along
the lines Of the Illinois Central since
January / and the industrial depart
ment of the Southern railway reports
almost as large number. These facto-
ries are in various lines of industries,
from evaporating apples to making wire
fencing, The factories are pretty even
ly divided by the Ohio river. Twenty
nine saw mills have been opened south
to only seven north. All this shows
business, and a great country, without
travelling far away from home.

Well, Haverhill, Massachusetts, on
January 2, will have Socialist mayor,
John o. Chase, aged 20 years. Chase
does not probably think he Is chas-
log a phantom, but according to his
platform he has undertaken good
deal. For example, the following ex.
tract will show:
The acquisition by the municipality Of
street railways, gas and electric light
pants, and all other utilities requiring q
franchise, to be operated by the opera
lives, who shall elect their superior
officers; the abolition Of the contract
labor system on all public works; labor
day Of eight hours, With " ss minimum
wages; all public salaries to be in pro-
portion to the service rendered; tue
city, when necessary, to furnish proper
food, clothes and shoes to all children
who are kept at home for lack Of them;
full powers of the municipality to be
exercised for the relief OF the upemploy.
ed, not by charity, but by the establish.
ment of public works tor their employ
ment; the burden of taxation to be dis
tributed in exact proportion to the
holdings Of each citizen; adoption Of
the initiative and referendum, and pro-
portional representation; all officers to
be subject to recall by their constitnen.
cies.
A city owning public utilities is moth
ing new, but that these shall be
operated by the workmen is fresh de-
liverance, as are other suggestions in the
platform. Even Mr.. Chase may be
wiser--if he lives long enough, He may
discover this is a wide, wide world, with
many men of many minds.

A YuIetide Reverie.

All. times are changed since we were
youngl
There's much o. good and much o. folly;
long to take backward glance,
When we were boys and life was jolly.
Along the snow white country road
We sped In Christmas times so merry
To where the little gray spired church
In festive trim and lights SO 0heery.
And young and old In Christmastide
Alike In happy heartfelt pleasure
Made warm and bright at Christmas
night
The old gray church In gospel measure.
Ah, me, the times are changing fasti
There's much O. good and much o. folly.
Could we but live again such days,
Their mlstletoe and hollyl
Their golden dreams and sweet young
life
Their searching and their striving.
Their noble thoughts and glowing hearts.
A glory thus in living;
The country swain new found hope
His robust heart confessing
When some fair, buxom Polly Ann
His life assails with blessing:
Or, fairer stlll the aged pair,
With hands and hearts united,
Sit side by side and murmur low;
Again their vows are plighted.
golden love, o youth and age
o living and desiring
Our hearts shall tune to many songs,
Our lives to many jarrings!
But over all and through Il all
Shall steal consolation
That thou, o mighty Father, Son,
WIN send thy benedictionl
And when the solemn Yuletide song
Shall stir our hearts to sadness
The thought of thee on yonder throne
Shall melt them into gladness.
All, me, the times have changed ana
pastl
We cannot live them over,
But yet can make the future Yield
The wealth of past endeavor
So lives In memory green and fair
That part OF life the brightest,
And God shall make the darker parts
or all the best and rightest.
