Translated from the German.
THE FIRST PATIENT.
Among the North German students
who received their diplomas at the
Medical College in Wurzburg, early
in I860, was a young Russian, whom
we will call Heinrioh. Report said
that though he belonged to no corps,
yet there was no better danoer, or
rider; indeed, the latter accomplish
ment was a pastime with bim, yet he
would not allow it to divert him irom
his studies.' and he, was said to be a fa
vorite with the professors.
During the last part of his stay in
the City of Bishops, be seemed great
ly changed.' In his quiet there was a
certain dejection, and instead of join
ing his friends as lormoily, he wan
dered by himself accompanied by a
Bnow-white greyhound. This extra
ordinary and symetrically-formed ani
mal Heinrich had found severely
wounded, without a master, and had
pared bim. - As this .was soarcely six
months .before the students com
menced practice, he jestingly called
it his first patient? and among his ac
quaintances the dog Boon become
known by this name ana would au-
swer to it.
The day came, at last, for Heinrich
to leave Wurzburg. He had already
bidden adieu to his acquaintances-, and
was to leave on the morning train.
Late the previous evening hg left his
residence, accompanied as usual by
Patieut, and with hasty stops proceed
ed to an adjacent part of the city,
carefully opened a garden door, let
Palient enter, bade him remain, then
cautiously closing the door, hurried
awav. He hastily snatched a flower
in the darkness, which by the light ot
the next lamp lie discovered to be an
immortelle.
He remained in the street a mo
ment, gazing at the house to which
the garden belonged. Several win
dows were lighted and open, from
which came the sound of a piano and
a rich soprano voice.
"Jit must be! at last be exclaimed,
half aloud to himself, when he felt
Borne one softly touch. him on the
shoulder. He turned, and, to his sur
prise, saw before him his best friend,
Ernst. i
"Have you one moment to spare
for me?" asked Ernst, his voice slight
ly trembling. v
"Two, three; for I have nothing to
do but return home and try to sleep
till four o'clook to-morrow morning."
"Well, let us go, then. I have re
ceived to-day very important news.
An old uncle, "whom 1 never saw, has
bequeathed to me bis handsome estate,
Rosenlhul, in Neiderschiliesen."
'I wish you joy from my heart,
Ernst," said Heinrich, warmly press-,
mg the band of bis friend.
Ernst continued: "You travel. It
was aiv purpose to have followed
you, three days later, but tbia surpris
ing affair of the property has awaken
ed other thoughts. You know, Hein
rich, I never pried into your secrets,
but pardon me, I also love her. I am
now in a condition to have a home of
my own, and to take her to.au elegant
residence; yet, I respect your right
if."' .
"I have no right," murmured Hein
rich. "She does not Buspeot, perhaps,
that I, in short, conceive it to be
worse than folly to involve the hopes
and expectations of a. noble, kind-
hearted maiden in a suspense ot years.
I have no relative to leave me a for
tune, and I may, perhaps, live at home
for years, a professional physician
without practice. I have decided.
Try your luck. If you win Marie's
heart, may God bless yon and her."
With these words lie nastily leu rus
friend, who would have followed bim,
but he motioned him baok, and van
ished in the darkness.
The next day Ernst, to indulge
his thoughts, sauntered alone upon
the shore of the Main. Walking
along before him were two ladies, ac
companied by a young lad ot pernaps
fitteen years. The tallest and slender
est of the ladies led by a ribbon a
white greyhound. .Ernst's eyes oould
not deceive bim. The ladies were
Erau Dumot and her fair daughter,
Marie, the object of the searet admi
ration of himself and his friend Hein
rich. The dog. as no other than
Patient.
Involuntaril v Ernst called "Patient!"
The dog turned bis head. Mdme. Du
mot approacned n-rnsi ana saiu, wivn
pleasing dignity: "If this dog belongs
to you, I beg you to take him. My
daughter found him this morning in
the garden, and we received him from
pity. We will willingly return him."
During this speech the fair young
maiden blushed. Ernst replied: "The
dog is not mine; it did belong to my
best friend, but he departed this
morning for North Germany, to be
gone a long time."
, "0, mammal" qnickly cried the
voana ladv. "let us keep the dog, he
is so gentle, and papa is so fond of
pets. ...
"But, my dear Marie, surely this
gentleman nas tna nrsi ciaim upuu
him."
"0, pardon, pardon, lady 1 I, too,
travel soon, and with pleasure leave
the dog in such good bands."
"Love me, love my dog," said Ernst
to himself. "I know enough. Per
haps her parents wonid advise her to
give her hand to me, the wealthy man,
and Heinrich has confessed his love;
but then, I would be loved with the
whole soul, and the first place evident
ly belongs to Heinricn.
In the Summer of 186G a quiet fam
ily sat in the rose-arbor of their gar
den, which stretched away to the
shore of the plain. A neighbor (oce
of the first clergymen) of the proprie
tor of the garden, had just dropped
in to discuss the city news, when the
on of the family, youth full of life,
rushed into the garden exclaiming:
"Fresh news from the seat of war !
A quartermaster b&. arrived, and in a
fow hours we may expect several
thousands of Prussians !"
"Ia it certain, Morilz??" exclaimed
Fran Dumot (for this was the Dumot
family, wlto at present found them
selves ir) this pleasant little city on
the Main, where au estate had been
left to tbem from a rich relative).
"Is, then, the rage of this unfortunate
war to be forced upon this little
place?"
"I hope that I, as a clergyman, shall
be exempt from quartering any of the
soldiers."
"Hardly, my good sir," replied
Herr Dumot; "where oafi the officers
find accommodations unless each fam
ily receives a portion of these guests?
Already tave I promised to receive a
good number of the blueooats, and
have no dohbt but they will be very
orderly. Have no anxiety," he con
tinued, turning to his wife and daugh
ter. "You, Marie, were pleased to
dance with Prussians when you were
at the seminary in Wurzburg."
The parson took his hat and oane,
and Herr Dumot went toward the
house with his wife and daughter.
Marie, however, remained alone in
the garden. Her eyes- filled with
tears as she thought of that time and
with a sorrowful look glanced out up
on the realities of life.
The amiable Marie Dumot had
many suitors, but she encourged none;
but there was one, ah I one who of her
bad long since ceased to think.
In an hour the infantry entered.
Some were directed to the house of
Herr Dnmot. He received them oor
dially ; said to the tall man who was
foremost : "I am glad to greet a sur
geon among you. You come to heal,
not to slay." The 'doctor bowed, en
tered into a' conversation with the
host, which soon took a friendly turn.
Presently the door opened and
Frau Dumot entered, Patient behind
her, who suddenly bouuded toward
the doctor, then leaped upon him,
barking joiously. The former student
was thus stormily greeted by his first
patient! Morilz then came into the
room and soon alter Marie, looking
more matured, paler and more serious,
but still as lovely to eyes of Heinrich
as when he floated through the dance
with Iier, or in the dark under the
chestnut trees before the house listen
ing to her songs.
Heinrich now was in circumstances
to marry, and told the beloved maid
en all that was in bis heart, and
learned from her lips how long and
faithfully he had been beloved.
As the light of the moon illumined
the garden, the lovers, after Heinrich
had obtained the blessing of the par
ents, wandered, a betrothed pair, up
and down the vine-clad arbor.
The sun had not yet appeared in all
bis majesty behind the mointains ero
the trumpet signal called the officers
to their regiment. The Dumot fami
ly hastily assembled in their sitting
room, while the cook prepared a warm
breakfast for the soldiers. Heinrich
stood at the window, hand in hand
with his betrothed, endeavoring to
cheer her. Finally, the partiug oould
no longer be delayed ; with one kiss
for bis ueloved, and pressing the hands
of the parents and brother, he was
gone.
The little city, in which for a short
time one could hardly move, beiug so
thronged with soldiers, was now quiet
as the grave. Those who had ac
companied the marching troops had
returned to their .labor, to forget tne
bloody work that death was soon to
begin.
Bv-and bye the church began to fill;
and Marie, though a Lutheran, knelt
in the convent chapel to implore Uod
to keep her beloved.
An hour after the line of Prussians
had departed, the thunder of the can
non oould be heard in the distance.
Through messengers and country peo
ple, whose business led them tnat
way, it was reported that the Prus
sians near Hundheim bad met a band
of troops, and there bad been a bloody
encounter.
Marie's nature was not communi
cative. For long yearB she had loved
Heinrich in the secret depths of her
heart, without her mother having the
least suspicion of the fact. So, to-day,
the dear girl in her joy and sorrow,
was equally undemonstrative." But,
as later in the afternoon the thunder
of the cannon ceased, her usual self
poBsessiou forsook ber, and she went
to seek her brother. She found bim
in his room preparing to go out.
"Moritz, dear Moriz," she began
with a trembling voice, "if you knew."
"As if I oould not read your soul.
I know you, my good, faithful siBter,
as well as my own self. You are
anxious about Heinrich. I am al
ready on my way to procure intelli
gence of him."
"Morilz, I am sick with anxiety. I
beg of you to let me go with you."
The brother shook his head, and
said gently: '"I cannot consent to
that. You have always been our self
reliant Marie; deserve this praise to
day, in this trying hour. Remember,
that a surgeon is not surrounded by
as much danger as the combatants;
that the bitterest enemy will not in
jure the one who can hel p him. Your
going would only hinder mo, dear
Marie. A forsaken battlefield ia no
sight for a woman. You know I am
a good walker, and I will return to
you to-night with intelligence of
Heinricn.
"At least take bandages, and strong
essences, and Palient."
"I will, I have all prepared, and
here comes Patient. Adieu."
"God go with you, Moritz."
The sister pressed his bands, and
the young man hastened away.
There ia no more shocking sight
than a battle-field immediately after
the conflict Although it was late
when Moritz reached Hundheim, the
light of the moon was sufficient to
show him the field torn by tbe horses'
hoofs, broken arms, fallen horses, lost
caps and knapsacks, and un buried
dead. Thw wounded had been taken
to the hospital, and the Prussians bad
already buried their dead. A pioneer
bad dug a large trench, and men from
the vicinity, apparently day laborers,
were engaged in placing the dead
therein. They emptied tbe pockets
of tbe fallen. Tbe living took wbat

they oould find, for which-the dead
had no further use.
Moritz enquired of these men about
this and that one, but they answered
curtly, they knew nothing but that
there had been a bloody contest, and
tbe troops had gone on ; that there
had been a hospital hastily construct
ed, that some of the- wounded had
been carried on to the next city.
. Moritz heard tbe pioneer say, "Let
us look behind every bush, Buckman,
that none of pur people be left. Tbe
Prussians have removed all their
wounded:" j
Involuntarily Moritz followed these
men. Now his eyes would fall on the
dead, on whose young faces the moon
light streamed. Moritz folded his
hands and breathed a prayer. Behind
him moved the dark figures of the
pioneers; he thought of the Lemures.
"Here is a dead Prussian!" cried one
of the pioneers.
At this moment Patient, who was
oloso by Moritz, leaped out with a
loud bowl. Moritz whistled' to the
dog, but he would not obey, and would
not stir from the spot.
The young man turned around, and
stood transfixed, with quivering lips
and wild eyes, as he gazed upon the
dead , wtom the pioneers weie about
to lay in the trench. The moonlight
spoke with fearful distinctness: "This
dead surgoon is Heinrich, the beloved
of your eiater:" Patient continued to
howl and snuff around tbe body.
Moritz now began to collect bis
thoughts, and with deep emotion said
to the men, "Permit me to take
charge of this dead; he is my friend."
The pioneers stretched the dead
Heinrich upon his Bide, on the grass.
One made the remark: "This man
baa no visiblewound; perhaps he is only
stunned by a ball."
Moritz knelt down by Heinrich and
looked in his pale face, which looked
so calm. He prayed as though he
would assail Heaven to work a mira
cle. He battled his lifelens temples
with Cologne water, and hold some
volatile essence to his mouth. Was
it an illusion? Did he see aught?
The dog sprang to the side of his for
mer master and "looked in bis face,
then laid his head on his check, and
began to inmn about and bark for
joy. Heinrich opened his eyes, and
in a weak voice said, ' w nere am ir
"Rest, now dearest friend," oried
Moritz, ioyfully, "Is it possible for
you to go with me?"
"les."
"Come, then, lean on me; soon you
will learn all."
"Tell me, first, dear Moritz, if any
wouuded are yet hore, or if there ia a
hospital near?" asked Heinrioh.
"The wouuded are well cared for,
they having brought all to our city.
There are those who, to-morrow, will
miss the doctor more than those in the
hospital at Kundbeim. Marie is in
agony about you."
"Then let us go, Moritz, aeciaea
Heinrich. "I believe it will bo" no
neglect of duty if I accompany you."
l'o,tieiit,ltera little pause, again
broke into ' ecstacies, leaping and
barking, then trotted on in silence
before his old and new masters, bis
white coat gleaming through the
night. -
Jlleinrion then related tnat aner ne
had dressed several of the wounded,
and the federal troops had retreated,
he heard a deep groan in the bushes
at his left. "The part of the wounded
assigned to me were onlv slightly in
jured, and as soon as dressed would
follow on to the hospital, bo i has
tened to the bushes and found on the
ground a countryman, whose faoe was
covered with blood and dirt, and in
whom, as I wiped away the blood,
I found one of the dearest friendB of my
youth. He felt that bis last hour had
come. Yet he was fully conscious and
knew me. It was a comfort to bim
that I, his best friend, oould perform
for him this last service of love. With
a weak voice he gavemea message for
his parents and bride, and with one
sigh was dead."
After a pause Heinrich continued:
"Already wearied with the great exer
tion after the day of battle, tbe death
of my friend so shocked me that I fell
in a dead faint, and might easily have
been taken for dead. But for you,
dear Moritz, I would perhaps have
been thrown into the trench and cov
ered with earth aud have been suffo
cated," and be heartily pressed the
hand of the brother of his Marie.
Moritz replied, "I came at the right
moment, but neither I nor Marie saved
you, for I was on the point of leaving
the battle-field, as Patient's determin
es barking around you induced me to
return. Before ns there goos your
only preserver, Patient."
"It is truo," said Heinrich, "Maiit-'s
faith, which out of love for me receiv
ed the dog which I secretly left in the
garden of your parents, will, through'
bim receive its reward. I am weary
and hungry; I have yet a piece of the
bread Marie gave me. Halloo! Pa
tieut, come, you shall have tbe first
mouthful. Come, my old, true, first
patieut!"
When Wilkie Collins waa about to
step in front of the curtain at Syra
cuse, ho said to Mr. Hanchett, who
waa to introduce him. "Don't intro

number of times, and I'd rather be
simply Mr. Collins. You know every
body is the greatest living some

"Are you sure, deacon," asked another
sober brotber'that you have embraced

SUUOIi.STIONS BY TUB STATU BOARD
OF EQUALIZATION.
Rales for Counts- Boards of Equalisation.
Rule 1. The County Board of
Equalization of the several counties
in this State are requested to cause a
certified copy of the assessment rolls
of their respective counties, after
equalization by them, to be forward'
ed at the expense of the county, to
the Secretary of State, before tbe
second Monday of September in each
year, for tbe examination and action
of tbe State Board of Equalization.
And the collection of taxes should
not proceed until said rolls have been
examined and passed upon by the
State Board of Equalization, which,
in all cases will be done without
delay. 1
Rule 2. . In order that tbe present
inequality in tbe assessed value of
real and personal estate, in tbe
various counties of the State, may be
remedied, and the subsequent labors
of this Board facilitated, the County
Boards of Equalisation are recom
mended to enforce the rule that the
actual salable cash value shall, in all
cases, be the standard of assessment
both of real and personal property.
Tbe root of the inequality complain
ed of, is in tbe arbitrary standard
of appraisement fixed by Assessors,
more or less below cash value.
Rule 3. The Assessors bave been
required to add up all the columns,
of tbe assessment rolls and snow tne
aggregates. The County Boards are
requested to see that this duty is not
neglected by tbe Assessors.
Rule 4. The County Boards of
Equalization are required by law "to
examine and correct the assessment
rolls of their respective counties,, and
to increase or reduce the valuation of
property assessed," and not alone to
sit, hear and determine, complaints
of over valuations
Rule 5. Assessment rolls, after
equalization by County Boards, must
be transmitted to the Secretary of
State on or before the firot day . of
October, or the Assessor or Clerk, as
the case may be, will be proceeded
against for a failure to perform his
duties as required by law.
Rule 6. Tbat the State may re
ceive its due proportion of the tax on
property omitted to be assessed by
tbe Assessor, and afterwards found
and taxed by the Collector, it is di
rected that the County Boards cause
tbe Secretary of State to be notified
by the Collectors on the completion
of each year's collections of the
amount of the supplementary assess
ment and collection.
Rule 7. To iusure the improve
ment of the system of assessment, the
County Boards are requested to cause
the Assessors to conform to the rules
and regulations framed by the State
Board for their observance in dis
charge of their duty, with more strict
ness than Heretofore.
Rules for Assessors.
Rule 1. County Assessors are re
quired by law to commence their
service on the 1st day of March, and
a failure to do so, or to complete
without delay the assessment of their
counties and return their assessment
rolls to the County Boards before the
last Monday in August, is not only
contrary to the law which they have
sworn to observe, but seriously em
barrasses and delays tbe work of the
County and State Boards of Equal
ization. '
Rule 2. It is essential that the
assessment rolls of the various
counties should be alike in form and
style, and in order to insure this the
Secretary of State will transmit three
blank assessment rolls to each county,
and tbe Assessor is enjoined to
observe the form, .and make his
entrieB in accordance therewith.
Rule 3. The assessment of every
piece of property assessed must be
placed in some appropriate column
of values before it is placed in the
colifmn denominated "gross value of
all property," in order that eaoh page
of the assessment roll shall show that
the sum total of the columns of
values, when added together, equal
and correspond with the aggregate
of the column of "gross value ot all
property," and each Assessor is re
quired to add up the columns of his
assessment roll, and prove, in this
manner, that each page of it balances
before presenting it to the County
Boaf'd of Equalization.
Rule 4. To avoid the numerous
omissions now made in the assess
ment of real estate, Assessors are re
quired to procure the maps, as the
law directs, of tbe real estate in tbeir
respective counties, showing the
actual present owner of each town
lot, and tract of land of which the
title has passed from the United
Slates or the State of Oregon.
Rule 6. No taxpayer's came
Bhould appear in different places on
the same roll, but all his property
should be assessed continuously after
the entry of bis name.
Rule 6 Tbe description of real
estate upon the assessment roll
should show the section, the town
ship, range, the number of acres, the
cash value of each piece or parcel,
and the total value.
Rule 7. Town and city lots must
be described by tbe number of lot
and block, with the name of the
filace, and mast be assessed separate
y from other real estate, and tbe
cash value of each lot or part of lot
be entered by itself in tbe appropriate
colnmn, and the cash value of the
improvements upon each lot, must be
entered separately in the column of
"value of improvements."
Rule 8. Mills, canals, ruining
ditches, telegraph lines, railroads,
etc., must be assessed at their casb
value, and entered in the assessment
roll in tbe column denominated
"value of all improvements."
Rule 9. Assessors must require
the names of creditors and the sums
due to them to bo given, in all cases
where the indebtedness within tbe
State is to be deducted from tbe tax
payers' taxable property, or tbe said
indebtedness must not otherwise be
allowed. A-adthe said creditor or
1873.

Remarks at Judcre Bonham stc tha Oj
pen
(
iNr ine session, jJeuicatlnir u
:ourl House Temple ot Justle.
On the occasion of the assembling
of tbe Cirouit Court at this its first
term after the completion of our mag
nificent Court House, the following
ueautilul and appropriate remarks
were made, by Ilia Honor Judge Bon
ham, relative to its dedication, its beau
ties of architecture and the prido
which the citizens uf our oounty and
city should feel in the possession of so
elegant a temple of justice.
Alter proolumation by the Sheriff
oeciaring me iouri in session in pur
suance of the law the Judge presiding
said: , ,
Before proceeding with the business
of the term I desire to submit a few
remarks whioh are suggested by odr
present surroundings. .
We are now occupying for the first
time our new Court House; and it is
with feelings of just pride tbat I con
sider myself warranted in pronouncing
it the finest and best Court House
building in the State, and a credit to
Marion county and our beautiful Cap
ital City.
This building, I am informed, bas
oost the oounty, including furniture
and other incidental expeuses, about
(100,000. And white it is probably
true that a number of our good citi
zens and heavy taxpayers bave consid
ered the building as unnecessarily ex
pensive, (its oost being about two per
tent of the taxable property of the
oounty,) yet I think when tbe subjeot
is impartially viewed in all its bear
ings, and especially in tbe light of the
prospeots ot our city and county lor
the future, the taxpayers of Marioti
county will cheerfully contribute tbe
remaining portion ol the funds nooes-
sary to liquidate tbe indebtedness thus
incurred, ibis building is not only
adequate to the present wants of the
oouuty, but if properly cared for and
preserved, will satin! y the wants and
ambition of our people for several gen
erations to oome.
And in this connection I wish to ad
monish the Sheriff, his deputies and
balifl'8, the Clerk and his deputies and
all good citizens generally, Id lend
their aid toward the prevention of the
marring or defacing, in any manner, Of
the walls or furniture ot this building.
Such aots of vandalism are made crim
inal by ourBtatnte andany and all per
sons who are so wanton, and so reok-
less of the rights ot the public as to
commit the same, ought to, and shall
be severely punished when found guil
ty. This edifice in all of its appoint
ments presents a combination of ele
ganoe and convenience which is high
ly commendable to our County Court
and to the architects under whose su
pervision the work was designed and
exeoutcd.
Upon the dome of this building is'
placed a representation of the blind
goddoBS of Justice, and although as a
work ofartit may not be entirely per-
feot in point of sculpture, yet it serves to
admonish us of the groat cardinal idea
which should control judicial magis
trates in tho administration of justice.
Justioe is represented as blind; whioh
signifies that courts of justice and all
their auxiliaries which are in any way
eonoerned in the maintenance of pub
lic aud private rights and the punish
ment ot wrongs, should be blind to
every prejudice of a personal, parti
san or sectarian oharaotor; blind to'
fear, favor,, affection or hope of re
ward; blind to evory consideration
whatsoever exoopt the law and the
testimony as applicable to oauses
which may arise lor trial and deter
mination. ' . '
In conclusion I desire to express
the earnest hope that the conduct and
demeanor of Bench and Bar, officers
of tbe Court and jurors, and all others
who have duties to perform hero, may
be such that this plaoe may, by com
mon consent, buoome dedicated and
regarded as a Temple of Justice, to
the end that the Constitution and
laws of our Commonwealth may be
maintained in their just supremacy,
and the standard of professional ex
cellence elevated and dignified.
On motion of G. W. Lawson, Esq.,
the members ot the bar present re
quested that the foregoing remarks be
spread upon the Journal of this Court,
and it was so oruorod.
NafoI.eow IV. and Imperialism,
The London Timet observes that
Vyears hence, when recent errors bave
been forgotten, wneo tne uoy nns
grown to be a man, when he lias train
ed himself in it for a post higher than
he has yet occupiod, when he has
gathered about him a body of Jevoted
lrionds liko himself with hereditary
remiuisconcB when he has obtained
the neocssary means, and when, in the
shifting of political parties, the needed
opportunity has again come round,
then mnv he stop forward at his f'a-
thor did, and aspire to the rank jiis
family has lost, the power, oi wnicn
they have been deprived, the crown
of empire which he has never yet
worn. At present the name''Napole
on IV." is a name, and it can be noth
ing more. The dynasty for the time
being in possession, her1 imperial or
monarchical or demooratie rulers, sit
always with a sense of insecurity,
which the past seldom failed to justify.
But the same changohilnoss, which is
to torrible to those who are in posses
sion may be of full hope for those who
areexuludod. In ten yean or twenty
years time, more changes than ono
may have occurred. The possibilties
of tho future defy alike the most sober
calculation, aud the wildest reckless
ness of assertion, and who would dare
to say lb st among those distant pos
sibilities U not to bo counted the ao
cession of a fourth Napoleon?"
It is hardly safe, now-a-days, to
name a mountain or a baby after a
man till he is dead. He may embez
zle, or tako back pay, or become a
dreadful railroad autocrat, or a candi
date for the presidency; then you 11
wish you badn t done it.

THE C1AUNKOFIT. '
As regards the true causes of the
defeat and utter route of the Grant
party in Ohio, we lay it to no causa
other than that all hottest men have
at last mustered courage enough to
demur against the tyrannical despot
ism with which they have been com
tending for the last ten ycdrn; and as
sert their rights to act for tberriselves;
Tbe following sensible article is from
tbe pen of a man who has kept tho
administration party intact in South
ern Ohio, more than any one man.
His paper, the Jackson Standard;
fought manfully during the late cam
paign, but the ''tidal wave" was too
strong, Honesty triumphed. But
here is what he says! '
"The defeated Republican papers
are now all giving the cause of the
defeat of the Republican party in
Ohio. We also have our opinion.
In the last week of the last Congress,
it Was ascertained that tho members
of Congress were determined to rob
the treasury by increasing their owa
salaries; We then said that if the
President did not veto such a bill he
would be greatly to blame. In our1
first issue after he had signed the bill
we denounced his action. We dd
nounced the faithless members of Con
gress from this district, but his tools,
bought with his checks on Selvin &
Sons, oamo to his aid, and assaulted,
us furiously. Then came the. State'
convention, and dreading publio opin
ion, the convention dononnoed tne
Congressional thieves, but indorsed
the President, the most guilty party
ot all. This was tbe fatal error;
Against that resolution there was no
defense. ,
Then tho papers undertook Id de
fend the inorease of the President's
salary by comparing it with tho sala
ries paid the sovereigns of the Old
World. .,
The people very wisely made nri
their minds that this country shall not
build up an aristooracy, and that the
men who haye nothing td do but
sport around Long Branch at horse'
races, shall not reoeive $137 por day
from the toiling millions who labor
ton hours tor l,au, ' '
A COMEDIAN'S) ELOPEMENT'. ,'
It has fifleri man ventf since vtd
first saw Owens, says a writer in the
Washington Chronicle. Then he was;
the handsomest man on the stage;
with a superb and graoeful figure,'
fine features, and a glorious crown
ing of golden-brown hair, which bis
eccentrioity cdused him to cover,
when on tbe stage, with a fiery red
wig. At that day actors and actress-
however high .they might stanot
in their profession, rarely attained ti
any high social position. During
an engagement at the Baltimore'
Museum he fell in love with and
courted the boautiful Miss Warfield,
the acknowledged belle and leader
in the aristocratic world of that oity
famed for its beautiful women and '
delicious terrapin! Owens' benefit
was announced, and the Museum was;
crowded to its utmost capacity, for
the handsome yoang actor was ad
immense favorite with the theatre
goers. A long delay followed the'
last notes of tbe 'overture;' the band 1
again began to play a half and then
an hour, when the manager appeared
and stated to the crowd thut their
money would be refunded at the'
door, Mr. Owens being unable to ap
pear. The scone which followed
cannot be described; The next
morning the fashionable world was
shaken as by an earthquake, for the
announcement went forth that the
beautiful . Miss Warfield ; bad
eloped with Owens', and her cousin,
Miss ; with A fellow-aotor of the'
comedian. How the knowing ones
talked? But years oame snd wont;
Owens and his lovely wife remained,
as tbey still do, a most devoted
ooiiple; fair ohildren came to blest
the union, and to-dny who soy
aught but that it has been a happy
marriage?
THE BACK PAY UTEAL.
Some of our cotomporariot are, just;,
now, making appeals tor the ropeal of
"Baok Pay Steal." In oaso the law
should bo repealed, wtucu is not at au
likely, what disposition will be made
of the' matter? The ftiofi'ds: ot
the administration clitim that Gon,
Grant was needy, and therefore did
right in signing the bill; and, ot
oourso, they will hold fust to their
original (lnign, If it is criminal for si
man lJ'.iku the money, after ho
fought the measure ami voted against
it, but iu spite of his efforts, it passed
both houses of Congress, nnd the
Proaidont sanctions and makes it a'
taw, we are at a loss to comprehend
whore the oonsistonoy comos in. We
would rather support tbe won in his
taking the money and appropriating
it to the use ot his family, ten to one,
than wily sneaking ours who yoted
for tho bill, and refundod tbe money,
all for the purpose of securing the
sulTYagol of the people again. We1
have no faith in the sincerity of the'
"refunding'1 business. We believe in
attaching the blame where it belongs.
Wo hold that Grant i almost wholly
responsible, and in all probablity tlW
prime movor in the moulding ot ihi
soborao.--Mw VitiJ Itemocrat;
A iot of minstrels went to1 d down
not far away and advertisod to give.
a performance for "the benefit of
the, poor,, tickets' reduced to tn
cents." The hall was crammed full:.
The next morning a committee for
the poor called upon the treasurer of
tbe concern for the amount said
benefit had netted. Th treasurer ex
pressed astonishment at the demand.
''I thought," said the chairman of
the oommitto, "you advertised this,
concert for the benefit of the poor.'
Replied the treasurer: '.Didn't wn
put the tickets down to ten cenw, so
the poor could all come?" Tho
comittee vanished.
The higher we take tbe tliei'moms-
