It took the eminent judges a good while longer to find that out than some mar ried men we know. John L. Si'i.mvan will keep a lestaurant in Chicago. As a beefsteak pounder John should be a success. Of courtc, the news that he r.ill quit the stage is unriddling, but "we cannot always have things to please us." Tub constables of the county on Monday made their leturns to coutt, and out of the total number of ninety-live only one of tln-e officers reported tho existence of a speakeasy. I'crhaps there is hut one in the county, Vul perhaps there aro more. I'rjsa pleasure to noto tho fact that the KiratVational Bank of town has declared its usual semi-annual dividend of three per cent., payable on the loth instant. There are few banking institutions in the slate that have better standing in financial circles than this one. John 0. UuiicH, the big brainy County Solicitor, is out in an appeal to the taxpayers of Schuylkill county urging them to tako the necessary steps to secure tho consent of Jndgo Pershing "to give way to somebody -Vvia able to perform the duties ofa Judge." Jjtatctncnt that tho biisinossof tlio county ets is behind and that it causes cx vaganco is not far from the truth, and ny eilbrt looking to au abatement of the useless expenditure of tlio peoples' money is directed in tho right channel. TllK Philadelphia Press is about rlgh when in referring to initio accidents, it Kys, "spectacular accidents, in which a largo number aro killed, always impress the public imagination ; but these cause a very small sharo of tho total loss of life. The solitary accidents roll up tlio mass of losses which render a miner's work dangerous and deadly, and these ire nearly all duo to the neglect of small precautions by tho miners themselves." As our contemporary says, in tho long run the solitary accidents roll up the bulk uf tlio largo death list annually credited to the coal mining business, and the energies of mino workers generally should be exerted not only to prevent disasters, hut also to cut down tho number of accidents, fatal and otherwise, in which single individuals are tho victims. While John Bull is doubtless a very ag grcssivo individual, he generally manages to have some color of reason to hack up his aggression, faint though it may bo in some rases. In the Transaul matter, however, Kaiser Williclm outdoes even tho Kiiglish mcn in his ofiensivo and unwarranted inter ference, and indications all point to a sharp rejoinder from Lngland which may lead to war. If war does como out of the imbroglio it is quite likely to envolvo all Lurope, and that it lias not como sooner Is not owing to the sagacity or prudence of tho Kaiser, who has upon many occanions almost precipitated it by his rusli utterances. In tlio present dis putes between England and one of its de pendencies his interference cannot lie inter preted ..tlienvisu than as a plain challenge to war. What eauso Germany has to desire a war with Lngland is not known, but that the situation Is very grave is apparent to every one; and tlio Dr. Jim uf llerlin lias evidently created as big a stir as tho Scotch Dr. Jim did in Johannesburg. Tjib appointmonts mado by tho Poor Directors, as a whole, are abovo the average. This scorns to bo the general opinion of both publlo and press. The selections credited to Shenandoah are acceptable to out; people, so far as wo have been alilo to ascertain. Willie the selection of subordinate U accept able to the people, with the pet'llile exception of thoso who wero dlupiintwl in their per sonal ambitious, tlio people are more inter ested in the course the Directors iissumo in the management of iitTairs at the county farm the appointment-! aro of a secondary consideration. Much Is oxpeclcd of Mr. Mlildlcton In this ropccl, ntnl little of Jacob D.iy. Tlio latter has been tried and found wanting. The action of the Hoard in making the niiuititnicnta of steward, clerk nnd solicitor for one year, and tlio other appoint ments for olio montli only, subject to removal, Is n favorable indication of better manage ment at tills institution. It is to bo hoped that one ye.ir heneo tlio people of Schuylkill county will have eailso for much rejoicing over reforms instituted at the almshouse.

Tlio Ilnrortuimto Position of a Weultliy Mississippi I.nily In London. London-, Jan. 8. A representative of tho Associated Press culled nt tho St. Georges workhouse yesterday to imiulro into tho strange story of .Mrs. Cornelia Seibels, of Hronkhiivon, Jliss, who was found wandering in the streets of London, having apparently completely lost her inoinory. Mrs. Soiliuls is about Hi years of ngc, evidently n lady by birth nnd had 15, 8u0 in her possession when taken to the workhousu.

Mrs. Seibels Is, sho says, a cousin of tlio Into Justice Lamar, of the United States supreme court, and sho has In her posses sion lettors of introduction from Governor Stono and ex-Governor Lowry, both of Mississippi. Mrs. Seibels was evidently greatly dis tressed at her detention, and is anxious to return to tho United States.

Tho prosunt delay consists In tho fact that the United Stntos government considers Itself bound to Insist upon a certain course which tho Hritish government considers Itself In honor bound to icfiiso to adopt.
