It remains to be seen whether a verification of the same singular coincidence of figures will fol low in 1880, and whether the Republi can leaders will undertake to steal 31 electoral votes from Hancock in 1880, as they stole 19 from Tilden in 1876.

After more than twelve months bad elapsed, defendant moved to amend the judgment so as to make it for the pen alty of the bond. The judge thereupon drew up the judgment as it was in tended that it should have been en tered, and ordered it to be so entered. Plaintiff appealed. As the judgment now entered was intended originally to have been so en tered, and no judgment in writing had been drawn up by the judges, the court now nas power to make the record speakthe truth, and to that end will draw up the proper judgment in the case and so enter it.

' - The Latest and Baldest Knavery fl Local Republicans. Washington Posf. Tne instinct of the Republican party for plunder is all persuasive. From the Republican congressional commit tee that arrogates to itself the manage ment of the national campaign to the veriest pot-house politician of the Dis trict, who aims no higher than a paltry clerkship, extortion is the alpha and omega of their political knowlege. They regard the officeholder as a species of chattel property, useful only for assess ment purposes. The boldest piece of knavery in this line that has yet seen the light is the iellowing circular, which has been seHt 'to the employees 01 cne jUisirict: Republican Central Com, FOR THE DlST.

The oommittee feels authorized to apply to all citizens whose interests or principles are involyed in the struggle.

The committee is authorized to state that such voluntary contribution from per sons: employed by the District of Co lumbia will not be objected to in any official quarter. It has been decided to hold a mass meeting of the Republican party of the District of Columbia at an early date to ratify the nominations of the Chica go convention.

Fifty years ago the little TCintrdom nf Belgium, coming out of a successful struggle against the house of Orange and Nassau, in the person of Prince William Frederick, made its appear ance on the map as one of the indenen- dent States of Europe, a position which rainer oecause 01 its weakness than its strength it has since maintained. For more than rive hundred yeara it had oeen the fighting ground of Europe, held in succession by the Spaniard and tne Austrian, the Hollander and the Frenchman, as the fortunes of war and diplomacy inclined. No portion of the worm noius within it more battlefields At one period or another every one of tue great nations or tne continent has quartered its armies upon its soil and contended for empire within its bor ders. In it the most famous generals of mouern Europe nave contended for the mastery from Marlborough to Napo leon and Wellington. The history of the past fifty years abundantly justifies the wisdom of the revolution the anni versary of which its people are now so enthusiastically celebrating. In consti tutional development and in material progress it has grown as no country in Europe has grown. Nominally a mon archy, it is really more Republican than France, and it is doubtful if there is a single country in Europe whose affairs are more wisely or more ably adminis tered or whose peopi. al-e happier and more prosperous. The little kingdom and its inhabitants have good reason to rejoice over the position the courage and patriotism of their ancestors con quered and which they themselves have preserved.

The Old Maids' Association, of Geau ga county, Ohio, had a picnic on the lake recently and mustered eighty-six souls. This society was an outgrowth of the war and was organized in 1862 by a bevy of young ladies whose broth ers and sweethearts were fighting for their, country and left them without the resources of male escort,' except the laggards who remained at heme. Un willing to accept the gallantry of these young men, the young ladies preferred to depend upon themselves and formed the association mentioned. Out of re venge the gallants dubbed these inde pendent damsels "old maids," and they accepted the cognomen and made ,it their own. A numerous constitution and by-laws were drafted by Mrs. C. E. Henry, then a single young lady and one of the founders of the institution. Man was declared the "common ene my," and one of the chief objects of the society was a continued war against his advances. He was relirionslv ex cluded from all meetings, and a special clause of the by-laws said that any member who should marry should be fined one hundred big copper cents and be branded in tar on the soles of her feet, WU. D. L" meaning "ud and done it." The beautiful consistency of wo man's nature will be appreciated when it is known that every one of the char ter members and nearly all of eligible age since are married. A Child Almost Killed by Rosqultoe. New York Sun, 10th. At an eaaly hour yesterday morning. while John Kairns, a Flatbush farmer, was driving down Bush wick avenue. Brooklyn, he heard the cries of a small child, which appeared to come from a vacant lot. He stopped hi horses, and entering the lot he found a child about nine months old almost entirely naked and covered from bead to foot with large mosquitoes. The child presented a horrible appearance when brought by the kind-hearted farmer to the 9th sub-precinct station house. It eyes were almost closed, the face was fright fully swollen, and the limbs and body were covered with big red blotches. Sergeant Buckhpltz bathed' the child with a preparation which relieved its sufferings, and took it to the hosDital. The parents of the child are unknown Had the infant remained in the lot all night it wotild have been killed by moa- quitoes.
