Some of our contemporaries imiko the
mistake of presuming that tho present con.
test for tho Prothonotarysliip is the Colum.
bias's light. This paper took no part in
tlio preliminary contest, believing that It
wns its duty to treat all candidates alike.
It refused to print any affidavits lor uuyone
unless the party affected had an opportu
nity to answer. It would have supported
any candidates named by the convention,
unless proof satisfactory to the Standing
Committee could be produced showing
that the nominations were unlawfully
made. The nominations were made under
tho rules of tho party and tho laws of the
State, as we believe, and we shall do all
that can he done, honestly and fairly, to
sustain the action of tho convention, and
wo have no fears but that the Democrats
of this county will do all they can to sus.
tain the Columbian in its position.

Sins : Major Ilanley struck the key
note which lias tho ring of true Democratic
metal, when he says the "majority rules"
and in "convention did rule," &c., whicli
sounds tho tocsin of the onwnrd inarch of
tho unbroken host of Democracy to sure

Tho Democracy of Columbia county will
rally around the Major's standard and rec
ognize the leadership of so eminent mi ex-
pOncnt of its principles. He has stepped
to the front, nnd more than redeemed tho
principles ever held sacred by the party,
which some were willing to barter away,
He is able to lead, but no one is able to
coax, whip, or drive tho party out of lino
of duty. And further we recognize the
many good qualities which enter into the
composition of true manhood and Christian
principles embodied in the Republican
candidato for Prothonotary. Ncvcrthe
less, the Democracy in point of capture
cannot be compared to a species of the
llnny tribe, i. e., the speckled beauties to
be taken at will by the craft and skill of

A railroad company is expected to keep
order on its trains and about its depots, so
that its patrons may not bo subjected to
annoyance iu any way. It is with tills
understanding that tho D. L. & W. road
has an official whose principal business it
is to look after the comfort of passengers
and the safety of their baggage. In order
tho more forcibly to Impress upon tlio
minds of those who nro inclined to bo dis
orderly when under tho influence of liquor
that tho company will not tolerate Impro
per conduct, a prosecution was brought
hero recently against a young man for as
sault and battery, nnd resisting an officer ,
The dlffliculty nroso from tho use of pro.
fane language in a car in tlio presence of
ladies, and being persisted in, tho passen
ger was ejected by an officer who happened
to bo on the train. Tho officer got off at
tho samo station on other business, nnd
while there tho ejected passenger made an
assault upon him, and when the officer at
tempted to arrest him, resisted and cscnp
cd. This is tho story In brief. Ho was
subsequently bround over to court, and on
Tuesday a truo bill was returned by tho
grand jury. In tho afternoon a nolle
prosequi was entered on payment of costs,
which amounted to nearly forty dollars, tho
prosecutor deeming the payment of tills
sum sufliclent punishment. We have call
ed attention to tho case for the purpose of
showing that it Is unprofitable to trltlo with
tho rights of the public, and to resist an of
ficer in tho performance of ids duty, and
hope that the result of this case may provo
a warning to others who may ho inclined
to bo disorderly on tho cars,

One Little Utile,
Foil tub Coi.u.MniAS :
As tills life is what wo make it, a few
hints may smooth many a path and calm
some aching heart. We, nil of ns, nro
Btrivlug to bo happy and enjoy tho bright
and sunny side of everything. Yet, I may
say that this is no easy task, for somo ob
stacle, some unexperienced grief will pre
sent Itself an enemy to the attainment of
our future prospects. Thc3c lilnderances
are not always to bo overcome in a mo
ment, hence, the necessity of a timely prep
nration to meet such difficulties.
Ono old adago which presents itself for
our consideration is this: IVAai is uoiiA
doing at all is worth doing ucll. Although
this saying is worn by tho use of men, aud
fuded by the sands of time, it is not thread
bare. It stands out ns the true and the
tried of success.
There is no place where you can meet
witli a successful man or woman but that,
if you stop to inquire into the secret of his
or her success, you may find this to be the
key. Tho nil perplexing question Failure
may many times be answered by showing
the want of this, on tho part of one who
fails. The genius does nothing more than
to follow the dictates of this principle. You
will find it so wherever you may Hud ' any
difficult task perfected.
Pride, in the perfection of our work,
should be tho aim of every one who may
labor cither with body or mind. It should
make no difference what that work may
be, but it should bo finished with that same
taste aud care that the belle of society
adorns her person. Parents should bo vig'
ilant in tlio care over their children ; see
ing that they perform all tilings from tho
building of a toy.house to the highest call-
ing to which they may attain, with a beau
ty and symmetry that will command tho
prai3o and admiration of all.
Thus, if tho home could bo made tho
cradle in which tills ono iittlo rule could bo
fostered, grand results would follow.
Many difficulties would bo overcome ; our
lives wonld bo smoother ; families would
bo happier; societies would be benefited,
nnd our governments would bo free from
an error too often committed, should this
one gem bo practiced and not passed so
lightly by. L. J.

On last Sunday ulght as J. C. Wcnner
and family wcro returning from church,
aud when about half a railo from home they
discovered n fire in tho neighborhood of
their locality, tho light of which rendered
objects distinctly visible half a mile dl
taut. Their fears wcro at onco orcused
with gloomy forebodings. Making all pos
slblo kasto, nud on approaching, it became
every instant moro painfully ovldcnt that
their comfortable dwelling wns fast becom
Ing tho proy of tho devouring flames. Mrs.
wcnner aud ItclKcca their daughter be
came frantic witli excitement and grief,
and could hardly be retained in the buggy
though driving at almost a runaway speed,
It looked as though thoy would arrivu just
in tlrao to witness tho consummation of a
fearful conflagration, nnd just too Into to
avert destruction, or save a thing, and for
onco experienced tlio suddden transporta
tion from nt least a living to utter waut, or
nil tho horrors incident to a genulno bum
out. But on quite iicur approach they saw
to their joy that tho lho was In an out
building in tho rear of their dwelling. For-
tunately there was no wind, and fortunate
ly also just arrived in tlmo to arrest tlio
flumes from communicating with other
combustibles thut led to other buildings,
nud thus prevented tho whole from n gen
oral sweep. Tho flro originated iu u little
house whero wood ashes wcro kept, and
burnt tho small btructurc, which commuui
catcd to tho other building. Several chick
ens roosting therein wero burnt to death
This is tho second tlmo that family havo
had a good senro from tho same cause. Let
people beware whero and how they keep
their wood ashes.
If you want to bo a cleau man use plenty
oi soap anu ueep out ol pontics. If you
want to no shaved go from homo and trade.
If you can't "stand prosperity, endorse,"
nnd if you want tho "truth In all things"
listen to what everybody says.

IllC'KUl Voting.
James McGuirn waH indicted nt last term
of court for Illegal voting. On Monday
morning lie was brought before court and
pleaded guilty. On Tuesday morning his
caso was disposed of. District Attorney
Buckingham stated to the Court tiiut the
facts in the caso wcro these t McGuire
lives in Conyngliam township, but for a
few months prior to tho Spring election lie
was working in Ccntralla. At tho Fcbru-
ary election lie voted in Ccntralia, and af
terwards went to ids home in Conyngliam,
wncro lie was persuaded to vote again, on
the ground that that was his proper voting
place. Ho was ignorant of tho law,aml wns
Induced by others lo violate it. Un
dcr all tho circumstances the District At
torney thought it was a caso where tho
Court could exercise leniency with justice,
"The Court said : "While ignorance of
tho law is no excuse for crime, In tlii3 case
wo may say that if those who induced this
young man to vote illegally wcro before us.
we should Inlllct upon them a much henv-
icr penalty thau wo shall place on him,
lho purity of elections lies at the
very foundation of republican government,
and tho laws of tho State have very prop
erly provided for tho punishment of any
attempt to pollute tho ballot box.
"James McGuire, como before tho Court.
"Wo have heard from the District Attor
ney what aro represented to bo tho facts in
this case, and, in view of tho statement
made by him, we are disposed not to inv
pose Jupon you the highest pcunlty which
the law Inflicts for tho offense which you
have committed Tlio Act of Assembly
provides that if any person shall vole at
more thau one election district, or other
wise trauilulcntly vote moro than once on
the same day, or shall fraudulently fold
nnd deliver to tho Inspector two tickets to
gether, with intent illegally to vote, or
shall vote the same, or if any person shall
advise or importune another so to do, he
or they to offending shall, on conviction
be fined in any sum not less than fifty nor
more tliyn five hundred dollats, and be
imprisoned for any term not less thau
three nor moro thau twclvo months. We
have no discretion below tho minimum
mentioned in the statute. It is tho first
case of tho kind that has como before tho
court; and, wero it not for tho mitigating
circumstances stated, wo would impose
the highest penalty which lho law admits,
but, in view of the facts, will impose the
lowest. Tho sentence of the Court is that
you pay a fine of fifty dollars and the costs
of prosecution, that you undergo imprison
ment in tho jail of Columbia county for tho
period of three months, and that you Btaud
committed until this sentence is complied
with.
Mr. John Crane of South Couynghain

rim.(iririit.t (. i.
At the very hei'intiinii oi
a new season in dress it is
natural to take a general
look over the field. We
speak of what we see and
know, not of what we read
in the Fashion Journals and
doubt. We hav'n't been lontf
enough in dry-goods to
make us an oracle, ror
that very reason, perhaps,
we put our best foot forward,
not two or three times a
year, but every day in the
year.
We're eointx to print a
chance remark of the man
aging man of the firm that
implies American merchants
with the Lupin fabrics: "I'm
astonished," said he to our
buyer, "at the length you go
in bringing over these little
travatiances. He re
ferred to the extra-fine fabrics
and novelties that constitute
o small a part of anybody's
trade that very few people,
merchants included, know
ntich about them. Me re
ferred to the things that cost
the most money for the least
practical use; things that
everybody likes to look at,
but very lew buy ; things
that have to be made, even
in wild extravagant Paris
for the deliidit of the luxuri
ous world, in very small
quantities ; things that ladies
are wont lo value according
to richness and ranly ; things
that are sacred from degra
dation by the very conditions
or their existence, the taste,
skill, facilities, capital, history
itself, that are in them It
takes Paris, the Parisian
spirit, Parisian luxury, Paris
ian taste, ranstan life, a gen
eration or two of Parisian
textile and artistic plant to
make them.
The astonishment was out
of the fact that a merchant
who sells clothing for mil
lions should also be able to
sell the richest and rarest
of dress for the few. Need
we say over and over that
the trade of the many ts the
best possible foundation on
which to build up the trade
of the few? Exclusive
trade we never shall have.
Inclusive is better. Bettor
for us, better for you, whoso
ever you arc.
It is worth our while to
print this now for the pur
pose of saying, in the most
general way, that we have a
most comprehensive collec
lion of stints ; that nothing
in desirable dress is beneath
our care, and nothing beyond
it.
It is early to say that every
sort is already here.
I he more substantial
things are coming. The
most substantial things are
always here ; they are never
new or old. Jixtravagant
ilii. ''s come little bv little.
They shoot out of Paris.
The world sees and hears
nothing. They come in the
niht In the morning you
read. We keep a buyer in
Paris largely to get the first
inklings of such.
I laving all the world to
lioose Irom what have we
ot to begin with? And
.hat means What is out
uess at the fashion Sep
tember 2 2 ?
Plain fabrics have had the
best of their day. The drift
of fashion is away from per
fectly plain, smooth surfaces.
So much is clear. The ten
dency toward the stronger,
more capable,; effects is
rqually clear : combinations
ol color, of texture, of stuff.
It isn't worth while to go
farther at present. We're
guessing what is, not what is
to come. There isn't much
guessing about it.
Our dress-stuffs abound
l.i soft vigogne, harsh cheviot,
iricot, serge, heavy and
coarse-looking serge, cam-el's-hair.a
hairier camel's-hair
than ever before, bourette,
great curls of rough-looking
wool ; ami the color-strength
is equal to the textile vigor.
Such is the drift September
23.
