In the course of years she had a
great many beautiful thoughts, but she
never looked as If she did. She seemed
to grow larger every year. If she en-
tered a street a people stared; at
church the children giggled; she could
not be induced to go to a party or a
dinner. She especially objected to
dinners.
81 shall be suspected of being
greedy" she said. So she staid by
herself and found her friends in books.
She tried not to grow bitter, but she
did, and then her complexion got sal
low. She took but little exercise. She
let time go by and was painfully on
scious of its passage.
One day she died of a sudden difficult
ty of the heart, and even in death she
could not manage to look dignified.
There was no shroud large enough to
fit her, and Lnree sewing women came
and gossiped and snickered, and meas
ured, and basted, and stitched, and
with the aid of the undertaken and his
assistants got her into it. The coffin
came too short and had to be sent back
n made over, and the grave had to
be heightened a bit at the last mo-
ment. When at last she was safely
laid away a little sardonic wind started
among the bushes and made a rasp-
ing laughter. 1t was the comment of
nature upon her preposterous daugh-
ter. Later, when the night came, the
moonlight which she loved streamed
over her grave; the lake intoned with
solemnity. A peace and loneliness
brooded over everything. 1t is posi-
BILE that through the spaces which the
moonlight sweeps a soul, liberated
from hampering flesh, darted with
ecstasy. 1t could enter Gods presence
clothed in it's inherent majesty. II
was released from the thrall of the
ridiculous.

Diplomacy of an Editor.

Editors of newspapers are often in
jeopardy of their lives, and only by
GOODNESS and discretion do they escape
from the harm which might otherwise
come to them from cranks. The editor
of a certain newspaper in a New Jer-
sey town was approached by a we'll
known general whose death had been
published in the paper several days
before. 81 want that statement taken
back, sir" cried the general, cor I'll
have your life" The editor looked
frightened, but, retaining his presence
of mind, answered: Il am very sorry,
my dear sir, but we do not take back
anything we have published, nor can
we contradict mistakes, but" with a
broad smile, tomorrow We'll publish
your name in the column of births. ="
The humor of the remark struck the
general, and his anger was %appeased.-

Liberty Township has reliable
Democratic majority Of over one
hundred, she also has good and
competent men who have been
knocking at the door of the party
for recognition for years without
avail. All we get for our faithful
and efficient service to the party IS
pat on the back and an invitation
to come again, to the Barmeclde
feast with cur solid one hundred.
In the same manner that Liberty
Township has been treated by the
party leaders, the Democratic
townships of Concord and Belle
vue have suffered likewise, and
they, too, cry out, GLOW long, U
Lord, how long until we are given
some reward for our earnest work:

that Mr.. Thompson's family did not
know OF his death, and he intends to
inform them.

by the Harlan & Hollingsworth 90. and
boarded on West street above Second,

SUPERIOR COURT.

The jury 10 the case OF Rhoda A.
Biddle against the Sarah White Home
was charged at Thursday afternoons
session Of the Superior Court In
short time 1t returned verdict In
favor of Mrs. Biddle for the full
amount Of $50.
On account Of the illness of Samuel
ID. Forbes, the case of John Doe on the
demise Of 6allie A. May aud Others va.
Richard Roe and so forth, was con-
tinued until the next term.
The replevin suit of William Y. ELI
son Vi. Martha d. Dolbey and Edward
d. Dolbey was put on trial, Biggs for
the plaintiff and Hilles for the defend
ants. The case involves 434 bushels OF
wheat. Mr.. Ellison testified that he
was the tenant of farm near Della
ware City, owned by William W. Nor
row, which he farmed on shares, but
did not get the quantity Of wheat due
HIM. The farm was afterwards sold
to Martha d. Dolbey.
The case Of Ellison VS.. Dolbey went to
the Jury at Friday morning s session and
resulted In verdict Of 1886. 81 in favor
OF Ellison. Judge Spruance charged
the jury. A new question Of law was
raised In the case, whether the pur-
chaser OF a property under foreclosure
proceedings had a right to the tenants
share of the growing crops as well as
the landlords share. Tho court held
that the purchaser did not have any
right TO the tenants share OF the crops.
In the case of John NJ. Harper q Co. vs..
Charles Baird s administrators, the plaintiff

examination was in progress when court
took q recess until this afternoon. Ac-
eording to Mr.. Tadman's testimony, the
II 900 goat-skins in the case were never
accepted by Mr.. Baird. The defence
claims also that they were not up to
the contract that Russian skins were
ordered, but that these were not Russian
skins. A bale OF them Is at the Court House
to be produced at the right time. In the
divorce case of Ruth L. Grather W.. Ralph
D. Grather, L. Irving Handy, commits
sioner, has made his return, and publica-
tion has been ordered, but the finding of
the commissioner 10 not yet made public.
