Legan and Ills Surprises. This year of our Lord has been full of political surprises, the most notable of "which, perhaps, was the closeness of the presidential struggle. That Blaine's blistering record did net drive mere Totes from him must ben continuous cause for astonishment. But the con duct of Jehn A. Legan since the lie. publican convention in Juue last is entitled te high rank among these things usually regnrded as inexplicable. Legan fully expected the presidential nemina tlen, and whente consented te be the tall te the Blaine kite, the surprise was general. It was, doubtless, a surprise party te himself. But ns the campaign progressed, mero surprises were de veleped. Instead of using Mr. Legan as one of the great curiosities of the Blaiue hippodrome, the managers of the latter refused te recognize his sterling merits in that role. Evidently the intention of these who were running the Blaine machine was te totally ignore Logan,se that if Blaine succeeded, the Illinois senator would have de voice in the councils of the party. That Lcgan felt the huralli a'.ieu of his situation has been clear from the apathy he displayed In the closing days of the canvass. And lu the bitter ness of his disgust he was, no doubt, cheered by the thought that if the work of the schemers came te naught lu Blaine's defeat, tiie latter would be in a mete unenviable condicien than him self. And then the picture must have unconsciously presented itself te his mind of his triumphant return te the United States Senate. Here followed 'wbat.musthave been the worst surprise pf all. The press lias net recorded that Blnck Jack beat his breast and tore his hair when he learned that the Legisla ture of the Sucker state had a Demo cratic majority of two en joint ballet, but that he was in a mood te Indulge in this variety of frenzy cannot be doubted. And the mere the latter situation is considered the mere Intensified must the surprise become. It was thought by the Republicans that in the disputed Chicago senatorial district the chances were in their favor, whereas a recount of the votes shows a Democratic gain of 24 votes and a Republican less of 81 votes, as compared with the first corrected an nouncement. After these frequent occurrences of the unexpected, it Is, perhaps, net an exaggeration te say that Legan could view with calm equanimity the opening of the earth at any point te bury him alive. There Is one very noticeable feature, however, about the conduct of theBepublican vice presidential candi date during all of his bitter surprises. Ile'has borne his defeat like a man and has conspicuously fatled te act the cur, as did Mr. Blaine iu his fierce sectional diatribe at the Augusta serenade As a man he stands head and shoulders above his colleague en the ticket, nud bad their positions been reversed Repub llcan chances for success would have been materially increased. The Law In Lancaster. We wonder what the people of the ,country, eut6ide of this county, think of Its aJminlstratien of justice, as exem plified in tbe current stories of the Buzzard brigands. Fer years new the tales of the adventures of this band have appeared with wetkly reaularity in the newspapers ; nud the belief cannot fail te be geneial that Lnncaster county keeps an escaped criminal within its borders, nnd permits him an undisturbed career of robbery. Whether Abe Buzzard is really here or net may be open te question among some people who have learned te take newspaper tales at a great discount. But the vast majority swal low them whole, and can hardly have n complimentary opinion of the ardor of our ellicers of justice In the pursuit of their calling. We have a very low epin Jen of it ourselves. We have se fre quently reported te us the fact that Mr. Buzzard Is about that we have concluded It te be a fact ; and se many farmers' cellars and barns have been despoiled iu his alleged neighborhood that we have a reasonable suspicion that he is the peller. Ills character, we may 'say, warrauts this suspicion. Possibly ether people of thievish propensities are gratl- j'lylng them at the oxpense of his reputa . ten. As our officers of justice kare no inclination te solve thin NinesUen by getting held of Buz zard against his will, we suggest "' that they accept hi3 offer te come back ' te his quarters in the j All and Btay there tw9t a ener period, we will then see whether he la the man who la robbing I the farmers. If he Is, It will sare their cellars for the winter. And it will be 1 cheaper te keep him in jail than te let him forage for himself. Mr. Buzzard de? s net object te the jail for n short residence; hiils only disgusted with the long period of his sentence. Ills feeling is natural nnd Is entitled te be con suited, since there is evidently n neces sity for n compromise between himself and the authorities of our county, who de net want te risk being hurt in arrest ing him, and who have shown that they cannot held him when they get him. We incline te think that Mr. Uuzzard's willingness under the circumstance te go back te jail nt all is an evidencoef great magnanimity ou his part. The death of Hen. Themas E. Fiank lin does net come with the shock of the unexpected, ns he has been manifestly failing for some time and had already mere than reached the full age allotted te man. lie has lived a long, useful nnd honorable life in this community. He was a lawyer of very sound judgment nnd an upright man. ue achieved high distinction in his pro fession, and high position iu the esteem of his fellows. When a man reaches the end of a long career, having used well the talents confided him, and stamped with stainless integrity, he needs no ether encomium te be a fragrant memo ry down the years of time.

Jnst before the Angell picked up the survivors tbe mutlllatcd body of the dead man was thrown overboard. It ralued and hailed Tuesday evening, and Uertrand waa kept busy bailing tha beat with one of his rubber beets. Up te the time they were picked np they had had neither feed nor dtlnk beyond the salt water and human flesh. The schooner was sighted Wednes day evening by Bertind. At about 5 o'clock he saw a vessel abjut a mile te the westward. IIe bailed her with his oilskin oeat. Daylight was fast fading, and they were afraid they would net be toeu by the vessel. Since last Monday morning at 5 o'clock the wind was raging tweoty-three hours out of the twenty-four. It was bitter oeld and they were pesrly elad, their scanty garments being wet and frezsn all the time. It is reported that a bark passed the lest monen Tuesday morning, and notwith standing their ballings and demonstrations she paid ue attention te them.

Neither the heavy rain nor tne skating rinks affected the attendance at the opera heuse last night, where Hyde & Behman's minstrels made their first appearance Every part of the houte was orewded except the parquette, which was very well filled. The amusement loving people had been waiting a long time for a minstrel treupe, and, although this wa a new one te them, they turned out. Ne ene was disappointed at the performance, which was one of the best seen here for a long time. It was geed beoause it was fresh and bright, a great deal of the old business havlug been discarded by this company. Tha first part was very long, but no ene seemed te tire at any time. Iu all twenty-six people were then seen, including ten end men, principal ameiisj whom were Melntyre, Heath, Jehnsen and Banks. Their fun was fresh and aiAcklini? and reukb Reed Ttie ballad Binging of Messrs.

Part second was opened by Fred Mathews, a grotesque dancer and faeial contertanlst, in a funny specialty. Melntyre, Heath, Rostrem, Carmedy, Lyens and Jehnsen gave a lively Bketch entitled "The Meetiug by the Broekslde" whieh enabled them te Introduce their neat songs and dance., and te sing Ned Harrigan's great "Coming Heme from Meeting." Cbarley Banks delivered a burlesque stump speech and really said sorae things which were new aud funny; this is something few orators nf this kind de. His remarks in regard te the late presidential contest were very geed. Tbe Great Clipper Quartette appeared in the burlesque specialties. which with their One singing, have made tbem famous. Rebert Melntyre rendered "Hard Times Come Again Ne Mere," and the four gave all kinds of imitations and responded te en en en oeres until they were forced te retire from exhaustion. Uewatd, Russell, Weeks and Talbot, four exoellent musicians, played en all kinds of instruments in a manner that pleased and Weeks furnished the funny business for the four. Oce of the best parts of the show was the closing comedy sketch entitled "Way Down Seuth." Molntyre and Heath, the famous song and danea team, are thor oughly acquainted with the Southern darkey and his peculiarities and there are few batter cemedianf. They appear in the cast of this piece and de mueh te make it a sueceBS. Although the sketch contains lets of fun, it is intended te Illustrate lllfe in the Seuth just as it was before the war. There were no less than four fine scenes and the one representing a cotton field, with slaves at work, was very natural The steamboat race was alce well shown, and the piece was mueh better than plenty of these given by theatrical combinations, everything being se real.
