Any person violating tho pro visions of this act shall bo guilty of misdemeanor anil upon conviction shall bo punished by a Imo not exceeding S.'iOO and imprisonment not exceeding six mouths. Mi.

Tho committee then adopted the substitute of Mr. Uiddis by a votu of eighteen yeas to fifteen na'ys and it was laid over for final passage," Tho bill requiring school directors to close thu schools during tho annual sessions of county institute, and to al low the teachers their time and wages while attending tlio same was passsed finally in the House on Tuesday. The bill to prohibit political parties from making assessments, etc., was called up on third reading. Mr. Lan dis moved to strike out in the fifth line of the first section the words "or gift,'' Mr. Landis spoko in favor of the bill. Tho discussion was continued by Messrs.

Successful and Satisfactory, T.et carping critics say what they will, no stale administration since that of FravuMs R. Sliuuk was more thor oughly devoted to tho public interest than is that of Robert K.Pattison. And what is more the people understand and appreciate the fact. Thus far the administration has not only Mtisfiod rn)pular expectation, but it has been Micoessful ttcyond the most sanguine hopes of its friends in impress ing its policy upt.ii mo legislature. I lie administration won the battle to make Reformer Pago controller of Philadel phia. It was equally successful in making Reformer Garrett a member of tlio board of public charitiis. Its nd vice that the useless and expensive of lice of stttlrr of weights ami measures bo alhilished was also accepted by tho Legislature, Other measures relating to honest government rocomuitutded by the Gov ernor have received favorable attention from the law makers.

Patriot Jeff Davis' Capture. Ivaspar ICnobel, the first man to lay hands on Jefferson Davis when tho lat ter was n fugitive, after tho downfall of tho Confederate Government, now lives in l'liilndelphla. At tlio time of tho capture Mr, Knoblo was a private in thu Koiirtli Mlehhran Cavalrv. Ills narrative, which was contributed to Tin; Wr.KKi.Y Timi:s, is ns follows t On thu ovening of tlio 7th of May, laOii, thu Fourth Michigan Cavalry Regiment, to which I belonged, was ordered to stint Immediately, without knowlnir whither or why. We rodu on tho whole night, only making a short pause to take a lunch. Wo ilid like wise the next day, but had In thu even itixr to lako ruluiro from a thunder Hlorni in somo woods, where wo sought to shield ourselves in tho best possililo manlier against thu inclemency of the weather. Tho next morning, somo where between nine and ten o'clock, Wo met a vehicle with only three wheels, driven by a colored man. Colonel Pritchard h.idu him linlt nud answer our questions. Hu told us hu had fall en in with n troop of "Yankees" it tiecamo evident he did not Know the difference between Union and Confed crato soldiers who had taken a wheel from his wagon, probably to prevent him from ruvenling their (light tbo quickly, for, as lm said, it was a sure thing that thoy wore trying to escape. Such was tho story of the negro, and now tho reason for our being engaged in this exciting uhato llashed in upon us that wo wore limiting for no less noblo a prey than tho beaten lender of the Uontedcraoy, on whose head the government hnd set a large prize. Our commander, as a matter of course, took notes of this statement mid ascertained tho exact place where tho meeting had taken place. Then wo were ordered to hold ourselves in readiness. A harder work than wu had yet dono was impen ding. Those who had confidence in themselves and their horses for a fur ther ride of forty or fifty miles were told to announce themselves. One hundred and twenty-eight men did so, I among them, and wu started. Twelve o'clock at night between tho 9th and 10ih of May, wo arrived nt Irwinsville, Irwin county, Gn., where Davis, accor ding to all probability was to bo found. TUB CASH' DISCOVKUKI). In whispered tones wo wore ordered to distribute ourselves in groups of thirteen in all directions and bo on the lookout for all suspicious persons in thu place. Thu group to which I belong ed, niter having ridden on for nearly a mile, discovered a camp-fire in a south western direction, which was near ex tinction n very suspicious circum stance thac made our hearts beat quicker with joyous anticipation. It being, however, yot dark wo could do nothing elso for tho present than impa tiently wait for thu dawn of day. '1 ho eastern sky had scarcely reddened be fore wo advanced as noiselessly as possi ble and almost stumbled over two tents, whosu inmates evidently wore yet slum berintt and who thus could be easily surprised. I was foremost in entering one of these tents, nud, sure enough, found the fugitive nud his lamily lying there in profound sleep. Jttlorson Davis rested in a gray cos tume on the loft side of thu tent. As soon ns ho was awako and bad com prehended the situation ho tried, evi dently for thopurposo of concealment, to cover himself with something I cannot at this timo tell exactly what, but of resistance hu offered none at all. I then turned to tho other tent, where I found a part of tho stall of tho Con federate leader. Here, also, perfect quietude reigned, easily explainable by the exertions and excitement incident to their llight. Thoy were surprised to the extent that I tore away n saddle from under tho head of one of the sleeping ollicers and they all surrender ed unconditionally, without offering tlio slightest resistance. muni wo; nv vttiKxns. Not until the capture of Davis and his associates had been thus accom plished was the signal-shot that had been agreed upon the previous day tired, which soon brought Uolonel Pritchard and his companions to the scene of action. This shot, however, was, to our ureal nslonishment, at once responded to by a heavy tire from tho neighboring woods, which fire we, of course answered. Hy this bkirmisli we had one young man killed, his heart being pierced by a bullet, and one wounded. Uur astonishment increased greatly when we took one of our assail ants a prisoner nud discovered that ho belonged, liko ourselves, to tho Union army. They formed, iu fact, a part of, tho Kirst Wisconsin Cavalry regiment, and had, liko ourselves, arrived the evening before in tho neighborhood of it w tuaviiii: wiuiuui Kiiuwiug ur Ji:ivwg tho slightest idea of tho presence of Da vis, slill less of our own. The victims of this fatal encounter were buried with military honois. We had a breakfast, to us, as n matter of course, a very joy ous one, in which Jefferson Davis and our othor prisoners participated, and then wo rode back to head quarters. TIIK COMMON' STOISY VSTItfK Such is tho historv of the culture of Jefferson Davis, and, as every one can see, it differs materially from the com monly accepted story, not alone in re sped to the leminino apparel and tho bowie-knife, but also iu regard to the short encounter between Union soldiers- which furnished, so to speak, the last victims on the altar of the ambition of the Confederate leader. 1 have a very interesting relic of this affair in my possession. After having entered tho tent of Davis and accomplished his cap ture a travelling bag was found among what little bagjrage there was, contain Ing a shirt and three collars, besides children's soiled linen. Those natural, ly became interesting spoils for the sol diers, who distributed them among themselves. One of these collars is still in my possession. The collar which, for good and sufficient reasons, nt this time has no very clean look, bean this proud inscription : "This collar was worn by Jefferson Davis at the time he v.n made a pris oner of war. May 10, lStiS, and was taken from him by Kasnar lvuobel, private of Company A, Fourth Regi ment, Michigan Cavalry, at Irwinsville, Irwin county, Ga."

Tlio relation of mistress br mnstcr Is ono of the contract, and tlio two. parties are on nn cqtinl footing ns to rlgltts. They tilTor only In what they agree to do ojio Is to work ami the other Is to pay. Tho party hiring Is not bouiid to provide n servant with medical attendance or mcdl chic In caso of sickness. If ltq docs cull In a doctor without the servant's request or consent, he must font tlio 1111 . As to wheth er a married woman can hind her husband hy culling In a doctor lo nttend n scrvnnt Is settled in the negative) the weight ot authority Is that way. The party hiring Is hound to furnish the domestic with proper food and to support the servant during sickness so long ns she remains hi his or .her employ. A servant girl has a right to tho enjoy. nicnt ot n good, character, and one who maligns her wrongfully can lo niado to pay for it. Neighborly communications niado In good fnlth aro protected. The right to wages Is unnfTccted by dam- ngo done by tho servant. On, this point housekeepers ltnvo many erroneous Ideas. The party hiring ennnot, without nn express agreement, deduct from n servant's wages the value of damaged property, but must bring n cross notion to recover the vntuc. It amounts to tho samo thing In the end, mid domestics would do wisely to avoid tbc expenses of n law suit. If a servant hired for a specific time Is wrongfully discharged hefore the expiration of tho timo for which she was hired, she can sue for n breach of contract. It Is obligatory, howovcr, for her diligently to seek another place. Where there Is no hiring for a specific time, the understanding Is that tho domestic shall be entitled to wages for the time she serves. As to notice of dismissal, In Kngland It Is customary to glvo a month's notice; tho rulo does not prevail here. Tho wages of a married woman belong to the husband where the rule has not been changed by statute. A child's earnings be long to nnd arc recoverable by the parent. Tho father, If living, can claim them, If ho Is dead, the widow can do so, but if she marries again her right Is gone. If the child has no parent or guardian entitled to her wages the mistress must pay them to the servant. The property rights and rights of life nnd limb of servants aro as sacred as those of other people. Centre NotCH.
