There, I knew you would gqt into trouble," said the grocery man was in passing himself off for a sin to tjie bad boy, as a policeman came gle niaa at Oconomowoc," asked the along leading him by the ear,' the boy having an empty champagne bottle in" one handand. & black eye. iWbat has he been doing Mr, - Policeman !" j asKeu me grocery mau, as iue poiice - mar. halted with the boy- in fiont of the store. "Well, I was going by a ,b.cuse up - here when this kid opened the door with a quart bottle of champagne, and j he cut the wire and fired the vcork at - . . , , . : all over the side walk, and some oi it .went on me, and I knew there was something wrong, 'cause champagne js too expensive to waste that way, ;aud he said he was running the she bang and if I would bring him here you would say he was alright. If you say so I will let him go." The grocery man said he had better let the boy go, as his parents woulfl not like to have thier little pet locked up. So the policeman let go his ear, and he throwed tbe empty bottle at a coal wagon, and after the policeman had brushed the champagne off his coat, and started off the grocery man turned to the boy, who was peeling a cucumber, and said : "Now what kind pf a circus have you been having, and what do you mean by destroying wine that wayt and where are your folks?" "Well, I'll tell you. Ma has got the hay fevtsr and h$s gosie to Lake Superior to see if she can't stop sneez ing, and Saturday pa said he and mp was going out to Ocouomowoc and stay over Sunday, and try Aad recu perate our health.

He is an old masher, that's what's the matter with him, and he was going play himself for a bachelor. O, thunder. I got on his racket in a minute. He was introduced to some of the girls, and Saturday evening he danced till the cows come home. At iome he is awful fraid of rheuma tiz, and he never sweats or sits in a draft; but the water just poured eff'u liim, and he stood in the door and the j girl faned him till I would freeze, and just was fraid he then he was xccnt froeze. and mst then he was - tellin a cirl from Tennessee, who i . . . , i J was lOKiUJT mm uuouu ueiuii au um i batch that he was not sure he cbuld always uum uu m.. uc , 1 If V.J was thrown luto contact with the charminir ladies of the Suunv South, I pulled his coat tail and said, pa, how (0 vou sp0SQ ma's nav fever js.j to night.

I went to bed and pa staid up til the lights were put out. -He. was j mad when he came to bed, but he ! jKdn'tlick me, cause the people in; the next room would hear him, but! . . , .ill. ! tne next morning n laiKea to me , , Ie said I might go back home Sun-j aay nigm, anu.pe wuum 6iay a uay oi two.

Ihe 'Washington correspondent . of the Petersburg, Virginia, Mail writes as iol lows about Senator Vance: VThf.irip.st-popular public man in Washington is the Senator from North' Carolina; combining the bon hommie of Mat Carpenter with the wonderful faculty of anecdote of Tom Corwin, he 'North Carolinan is the lifeof any circle he may be thrown in. Dull .care gathers her threadbare gar ments about her and hurries away when the geniaf Vance comes up, ane Mom us begins to grin. Whenev er, a comloined yell of merriment would come from the cloak room, or a roar of laughter from the Senatorial restaurant one could iell without any wide guessing who was at the bottom- 6f it all. Dignity drops her cloak when ' Vance is near, and even the calm JSt: Edmunds,, who wears a mask, .wbuld unbend and his shrill laughfcecbe heard high ab ve the rest.

It seems that he was a member of Congress from North , CaroVma before the war and but let 7 him teU u .Q hig Qwn WQrds as he nar the way where thirsty members and scribes most do congregrato: "I was a big man, I can tell you, boys, when I was first elected to Con gress, some twentyfive years ago. I swelled so that North Carolina could not hold me. - When I cam& to Wash ington J. imagine, the eyes of the whole country were on me, I folio ?ped my friend, George, Sheridan's exam ple literally. I voted on both sides of every, bill that came ud. I veiled -t , . , uur. oeajven evervenancel nad. 1 q , x called one jnembei rt liar, told anoth- er he was a fool, ogled the ladies in the prjillsrv. riirspd flip, nacrps. nnfl o-i.-j, - r-& fc t them on u fa . I elevated my boots on the desk, spit tobacco juice qu the floor, went to the committee room to look at documents, ; and drove up Pennsylvania avenue in an open haronche every evening when tne weatn ier was fine. I swaggered into the dining-room, I lounged in the lobby and disported myself every where, supremely conscious that I was the observed of all observers. Then I retureed home, it was in fine style. We had no railroads in my section of North Carolina, and I chartered a stage coach and rode on top with some of my lady friends, just to show them how my consti tuents along the route regarded me. Aboufc evmugt wIien the 8tage gtop. ped at lhe top of a hil to rest the norses and directly in front of a ragged 0jd cab:n its Q real " ' 1 piney woods tar heel, stoo,d leaning against the fence; his pair of jeans palaioons hung suspended by one gallus. a hickory shirt open at the throat and an 0id.stra- ha, through the hoeg in of haif j. ted ont When I.p mp ho SDit out about a pint of tobacfi0 iaGQ and shifted the "quid to another cheek; he scratbhed his lsf't ' leST ! with the toeof his right foot, and ta ki me he drawled out: Heli and blazes! ' Zeb Yauce, at you?" is NO FENCE-NO WHISKEY. BY BILL ARP. No fence and no whiskey seem to be encroaching upon the State sread ing out together and taking county after county. I was down in middle Georgia not long ago, and I asked an old darkey how he liked the no fence law and he said, "I like him'fusl rate, sir, now we got him, but I voted agin hiui ebery time, sur. I wanted a fence, sur, to keep udder peopled stock offen my truck,- but I furgot all de time ;dat de udder folks have got to keep dei own stock too; yah, yah, yah!" It looked very strange to me as I traveled along the big road to see the corn and cotton-growing right close up to the edge of the high way and no fedce between. Good solid farmers told me that everybody was satisfied with the working of the new' system. Timber is getting scarce in those old sett! ed counties, aud now they don't need it, except for fire wood. Well, I did see too or j three farms protected on the side next to the road by a single barbed wire stretched along on posts about twenty or twenty-five fett apart. This was to prevent the droves o mules and beef cattle from straykg on the growing ,crops. But wire is cheap now, onjy 5a half a cent a foot, and a thousand feet cost only five dollars. We have been out voted twice here in Bartow and three times in Floyd. Now if we can only get a piece of the law we will do very well If we can vote the hogs,out we can get along with the cattle, for a fence with too wires will keep the cattle out, and that won't cost half as nuich as rails. Small chestnut or pstoak nostsset twentv-five or thirtv feet apart will make a good support, and - - - too nien can plant them an stretch a thousand feet in a day. : The -darkiesa always vote soh(I. solid against the uo.fence law. They, ha-ye verv little interest in it, for' most of ticn aic iwwuid ui uuwm60, v. have an idea that it is a rich man's law, a Democratic law, and is going to hurt the nigger in some way. And for a "similar reason a good many poor white folks vote against it; sorter like they felt about the -war that it was a rich man's war and a poor man's fight. There is more or less jealousy everywhere between the poor and the rich. And that is the mam reason why poor folks and niggers vote against prohibition of whiskey. It is encroaching on their rights and priveleges. They say that', a rich man can get it law or no law, but a poor man can't. They wouldn't vote to abolish snakes if a rich man was allowed to keepone in his backyard. Mr. Nunnally says he finds that most everybody wouldvote to prohibit ev erybody from drinking except -themselves. One man said he would vote it out of every county, and he would vote it out of all his own county ex cept his district. It's like folks with children at school, they are willing for the teacher to whip everybodies children but theirs. Plain Trutlis. There seems to be much greater activity m discussing the various Pres idential candidates who may represent the Democratic ji&rfcy in 1 884 than is given to the consideration of the next candidate on the side of the Repub licans. This is doubtless due to the general impression that the Demo crats stand, the better change for success. At the close of Arthur's term the Republicans will have been in power twenty-four years, a6perio"d aslongas that which intervened between the defeat of the first Adams by Jefferson and election of John Quincy Adams by the House o Representatives. They now hold all the Federal offi ces, and control the annual expendi ture of hundreds of millions of tmb- 1n tnnncur TThp will st.rnrrrrlo Ana. j . i ' on" " - perately to retain the administration of the Government in their hands. Till the close of the conflict over slavery, the Republicans conquered by the" strength of their principles. They have since owed their" success to false pretences and to- corruption. They ought to have been beaten in 1872. Tbey were beaten in 1876, but by frau d and audacity they wres ted the victory out of the hand? of the Democrats. The Republicans have lostJthQ&n fidence of the cou&try. If the Dem ocrats so conduct themselves the next twelve months, and especially j through the coming session of Con- j m to win thig coufideBCe they will elect the President in 1884 by an overwhelming majority. -ZV Y. Sun. The Verdict "of Acquittal in the Star Route Case. One'of the eisiest tasks in the!,world this morning would be to denouce the the jury who rendered ix verdict of acquittal in the Star route case yester day. The anuouncv&ment of tha re sult must have been received with surprise everywhere. While nobody confidently expected a conviction, and most people thought there would be a disagreement, probably not one person in a thousand of those who had followed the leports of the trial j entertained the slightest idea that the verdict would be in favor of the de- fen(jants. Yet it turns out that at no j time after tDe jury retired were there , tfa th rora Wfl0 thouerht -. - . the proof even sufficed to establish the existence of a conspiracy irrespec- tive of the persons concerned init. Many explanations will be offered to account for the verdict. The Judge has already been pronounced a Dog berry, and somebody has discovered ratheTlaiiTe day that "theTwelve men who composed the jury were un-- fit in almost every way to pass upoi tbe questions submitted to them." We cannot adopt either of their yiews, Judge Wylie has shown some infirm- ity cf temper during the trial, Jbut sue- ceeuea in- preserving uegrew : ua xui- , n'artiality which was ; hardly 7or57 . expectea in trying sucn a case a ec- oud time. His charge seems to hswe been particularly fair and fiee froi bias. As to the jury,the counsel of the Government have never, complained oftheir lack of intelligence, so far as we know, their mental capacity to comprehend the case sufficiently ; to find a verdict of guilty has never been questioned. Indeed, at the beginning of his charge the Judge spoke in com plimentary terms of the patient at attention they had bestowed upon the trial, saying that it had lightened the labors of the Court. If there had been a disagreement, caused by the refusal of two or threa members of the jury to vote for con viction when the other jurymen were earnestly in favor of 'a verdict of guil ty, suggestions p,f bribery would doubtless be made4 an 4 maDy peopie would believe that the result was (due to the improper use of money. In the present case, however, we see no reason to suppose that the verdict of acquittal was secured by wrongful means. One man, or two men, or three men aright be brided, but not a whole jury. In our opinion it is not necessary to impute folly or knavery either to the Judge or to the jury in order to ex plain the, escape of the Star rout de fendants. We. believe they ha,Y0 been ably prosecuted agd fairly tried. As we have more than once pointed out however, the case against them involves inherent difficulties pf proof which must render it a task of extra ordinary skill and libor to establish their guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. That task has simply proved impos sible ot achievement. It is a mistake to suppose that el. ther in England or America the peo ple undertake to punish by legal pro-. . cess ev.ery man who may have com? mitted a crime. Only those are to suffer thus whose guilt is so plain . that twelve men sitting in judgment, have no doubt of it. Jf he defen? dauts in the Star route case could not. be brought within this category, they were entitled to gp free; and We cat) only regret that the proof failed to, establish their responsibility for a ' crime oj which we believed thera to be guilty Y.
