The police have taken a novel
way of ridding Indianapolis of
tramps. Friday evening a patrol
wagon-load was taken into the coun
try, soundly cowhided and warned
never to return. A similar batch
was given the same dose last Satur
day. This treatment is contrary to
law, but it is having a satisfactory
eflect.
The Boston Herald has come to
the conclusion that “if President
Arthur is a ‘free trader,’ as Chair
man Jones insists that he is, the
country will be pietty full of them
when the next congressional elec
tions occur, unless the legislative
body shall meanwhile give the peo
ple relief from burdensome and un
necessary taxation.
Senator Wade Hampton says:
As to the fear entertained by some,
that the South contemplates a raid
on the treasury for payment for
slaves,' or for pensions for confeder
ate soldiers, they are too absurd to
receive serious consideration. The
South only wants peace, good gov
ernment and a thorough unification
of the whole" country. We feel that
we.arc 0.1 trial, and we are willing
to be judged by our acts.
In Scotland, a short time ago, a
judge sentenced a man to two
months’ imprisonment for knocking
his wife down and then kicking her
to such an extent as tp cause death
from lesion of the brain. The next
prisoner was sentenced for five
years for stealing a letter containing
about fifteen dollars in stamps. The
moral to be adduced from this case
is to kill your wife.jbut never com
mit the greater crime of stealing
postage stamps.
a day passes without the announce
ment of the failure of some large
banking institution; of some mam
moth mercantile establishment, or
it may be the suspension of some
important manufacturing or other
industrial enterprise, to say nothing
of the various individual failures
that are daily occurring throughout
the country. Such disasters
becoming more and more frequent.
For such ruinous effects, there
must necessarily be some serious
and unmistakable cause. The vol
ume of our currency is now quite
as great as at any former time with
in the past twenty or twenty-five
years. During this period, certain
ly a more prosperous condition of
affairs has been the boast of the
country. How then shall all of this
financial trouble be accounted for?
While the political economists of
the day may put on their studying
caps, and adduce their many fine
spun theories to explain the true
causes of all these evils, yet it will
require only a practical discernment
to note the fact that the formation
of moneyed syndicates for illegiti
mate speculation, the too great dis
position on the part of the able-
bodied young men of the present
day, to substitute wit for muscle in
the choice of their pursuits of fife,
are the greatest and most fruitful
causes of the present alarming and
unpropiticus times. Who is it that
has failed to note the fictitious and
ruinous speculations in railroad en
terprises, stocks, bonds, cotton fu
tures, etc., which have so excited,
frustrated and unsettled the finances
of the country for the past few
years? Do even the most unobser
vant fail to notice the perfect hordes
of office seekers that now flood the
land in quest of even the most insig
nificant positions? Daily is the rush
of the young men from the country
to the cities and the towns, leaving
the more manly pursuits of the farm
for positions as clerks, agenti, com
mercial tourists, etc., becoming
more and more alarming. It does
not require the ken of the philoso
pher, nor indeed the far-sighted
ness of the political economist to
discover that these causes are di
verting the capital of the country
from its more legitimate channels;
stagnating the industries essential
to the prosperity and well-to-do of
every country and every people;
increasing the class of consumers,
in ruinous excess of the producers,
and that until these cause are re
moved the signs of the times can
not be better.

Chicago, Jan. 7.—About a fort
night ago a few drummers were sit

small Michigan town entertaining
A MASCOTTE.

He was pointing to some drums of
imported soda as he spoke.
“I was horn in Bohemia among
the mountains, in a little village.
Our chief industry was mading lye,
and sometimes soap. I thirk half
of the people made a living that
way; my family did. When I was
a little boy I was sent out every day
with my brother and other boys to
gather leaves and twigs. The best
were those of the fir, but we took
everything. We’d build big bon
fires in dry weather, and the mo
ment the ashes and embers were
cold we’d throw them into bins un
der low sheds. Below these sheds
were what you’d call leach tubs.
Some of these were old barrels
sawed in half; some, and they and
they belonged to the poorer folks,
were heavy willow baskets. One I
remember was square, built out of
bricks, with a door on the side. We
used to fill the tubs with ashes, and
pour as much water on them as
they’d hold. When it ran through,
it would run into a little bucket.
This was what used to be lye. It
was too weak to sell or to use to
make soap,and so we’d boil it down.
Sometimes we’d sell it when it was
boiled down very strong, but gener
ally we’d let it boil till it was dry.
What was left was good potash,
and that we’d sell to a rich man in
the village, who’d send it away to
foreign countries. If the potash
was gray we’d get a good price for
it, but if it was red or brown we
got less money and also got a good
thrashing from our parents.
“Down the road was my father’s
cousin, who was the best soapmak-
er in the barony. He made soft
soap from our potash and hard soap
from potash and common salt. He
had a pretty daughter—she’s my
wife now, and when she was 15
she was as good a soap-boiler as
her father. I was about 17 when
times began to grow quite hard.
The village merchant didn’t buy as
much potash or soap, and what he
did buy he paid less for. And then
the men who’d start out in the
spring with a wagon to peddle the
same found tnings just as bad eve
rywhere. We thought it came
from the wars that were going on,
and that good old prices would
come back before long. When I
got to be 201 was my wife’s bt au,
and the old folks agreed that we
should merry two years after and
keep up the family trades in the
old places. Well, we marrid, but
not there. I’ve never been there
per
since.
“You see it came about like this.
I went down to the village one day
with a load ot potash and soap, and
called as usual on the merchant.
For the first time he refused to buy
the latter, and offered so small a
price for the former that I began to
laugh. But when he took out of
a box some foreign soap and offer
ed it to me at half the price I want
ed, and explained to me how the
French and English were making
soda and potash in big facteries out
of Rocks that cost almost nothing,
I saw my business was ruined. The
news ran through the village and
everybody was yery blue. I was
versation and the silence was brok
en only bf the sputterings of tobac
co juice on the Ted-hoi. stove. Some
one picked up a New York paper
devoted to the dissemination of
criminal information. It contained
a portrait ot a man who was want
ed for forgery and embezzlement,
David E. Swan, ex cashier of the
Norther* P*cific railroacj company
at S’.. Paul. The paper was passed
round, and one of the commercial
travelers remaiked that it bore
striking resemblance to a person
whom he knew, and added:
If I didn’t know the man, and
know him to be incapable of any
rascality, I would swear that was
his portrait.”
Two persons in the circle who
had been taking little part in the
conversation seemed interested, but
were not inquisitive enough to ex
cite the suspicion that they were
more than ordinarily interested.
These men were Piukerton opera
tives. They learned that the drum
mer was travelling Lr, a Detroit
house, and telegraphed Hie intelli
gence to the Chicago ffieadquar-
teis. A detective was sent to De
troit to find the drummer; He was
found, and his description of his
friend tallied in every ■ particular
with that of Swan. But his friend
could not be the missing cashier,
insisted the gentleman. Ilis friend
had just been elected to »n impor
tant office, that of Prosecuting At
torney for Leelenaw county, Mich.,
and was one of the most respected
and exemplary citizen of Sutton
Bay.
The two detectives were sent
thither. They learned that D. F.
Eddington was the newly elected
prosecutor of evil doers. Mr. Ed
dington was in the employ of a
large lumber dealer, was a Knight
Templar, and a teacher in the vil
lage Sunday school. Betides he
was the local agent of the Masonic
insurance company. The detec
tives were curious to see Mr. Ed
dington, and when they did see
him day before yesterday they
greeted him with:
“Mr. Swain, we arrest you.”
He admitted his identity and
was taken to Chicago, [where he
remained only long enough to
make railroad connections with
St. Paul. j
Several years ago David E.
Swan, a reputable man,: was em
ployed in a savings banW in New
ark, N, J. This particular bank
went under,- and Mr. Swan lost
what money he had accumulated
and went west. Through the in
fluence of Henry Villara he was
made local cashier at Stl Paul, of
the Northern Pacific railroad. Qui
et in his demeanor, with r o appa
rent bad habits, a Knight Templar,

and family, he made fri :nds and

They laid out a new town in Da
kota last fall and called it Golden
City. A Chicago speculator who
was out there took 500 lots at $5,
and in thirty days the price of the
city lots had gone to $25 each. Some
one built and opened up a saloon,
and the figures jumped to $50. A
second saloon went up, and the city
lots changed hands at $75 apiece.
The Chicago man was advised to
sell, but he concluded to hang on
for a few more saloons. The snow

The Louisiana State Lottery, and has Deceived
Every Dollar 0/the Honey.
In order to verify the rumor that
Mr. J. H. Knttner of Georgetown,
Ky„ has drawn $30.000in the Louis
iana State Lottery Company, held
December 16th, a Press representa
tive went to Georgetown on Monday
to see Mr. Kuttner and get the facts
in the case from hi£ own lips. Mr.
Kuttner was feund in his store, and
extended the Press reporter a smil
ing welcome. He is a Polander, hav
ing migrated to this country about
thirty years ago. When the war of
the Rebellion came up he joined the
Confederate army and was seriously
wounded at the battle of Fordouche,
Louisiana. After the war he engaged:
in the drv-goods business at Shelby-
ville, Ky., and for' a while did :
flourishing business. He failed, how
ever, about two years ago and went
to Georgetown, where he established
himshelt in the dry goods business
on a small scale. About avearagoit
occurred to Mr. Kuttner that be
would try his luck in the Louisiana'
State Lottery. For seventeen mon
ths he invested adollareach month,
firm in the belief that his time would
finally come. With his faith in the
fairness of the management of the
Louisiana State Lottrey undiminish
ed, he invested in one-fifth ticket for
the drawing wich came off on the
16th of December, 1884. He took in
with him two partners, Mr Dock
Laws and Mr. C. C. Barbee, both ^of
Georgetown. Mr. Laws was a bar
keeper and Mr. Barbee a saddler. On
the afternoon of December 17tn, Mr.
Kuttner receved a telegram from
New Orleans annoucing that his tick
et had drawn one-fifth of the capital
prize of 5140,000. The news was too
good to believe without a little in
vestigation. Accordingly, Mr. Kut
tner deposited his ticket in the Sec
ond National Bank of Georgetown
and went at once to Cincinnati to
find out the trouthfulness of the re-
rort. At Cincinnati the report
was fully comfirmed, and Mr.
Kuttner at once ordered the Second
National Bank of Georgetwon to col
lect me $30,000 tor him through the
Canal Bank of New Orleans. The
money was promptly paid by the
Canal Bank ih full, not a cent being
deductedforcommissions.The mon
ey was brought to Georgetwo by the
Adams Express Company and de
puted in the Second National Bank
to the credit o| Messrs. Kuttner,

third interest in it. Mr. Kuttner will
invest his money in a Ubacco warm
factory at Georgetown, Mr. Laws
intends buying a Bluegrass farm
with his, while Mr. Barbee has al
ready invested in a hotel at George
town, and w.ll engage actively in the
hotel business. Mr. Kuttner says
that them has been a remarkably

M r. Wiley F. Hood, known to al
most every man, woman and
child in Athens, bears the following
testimony as to the virtues of Swift’s
Specific, (S. S. S.)
For twelve years I suffered with
mercurial poison, with all of its tor
turing pains. I was treated by sev
eral physicians and was dosed on
Iodide of Potassium abundantly.
This treatment only increased my
trouble. My blood was thoroughly
infected. My skin was thick and
yellow. My stomach was weak so
that I could not retain my food.
My person was broken out with
sores, which became offensive ul
cers, and mv strength was gone.
Mercury brought on rheumatism,
and potash had ruined my stomach,
and I thought there was nothing
left far me to do but die, so thought
many of my friends as I went hob
bling along the street. I tried all
the remedies within reach, but to no
avail. At last a friend suzgested
the use of Swift's Specific. Like
many other drowning men, I was
ready to catch at any straw that
came in sight. I procured six bot
tles from Dr. Long. The first bottle
gave me hope. The nasual of the
stomach disappeared, -and by the
time I had taken the third, the hard
lumps on my neck went away} the
ulcers were healed. My complex

A DEMOCRATIC 80UVENIR.
Pittsburgh Post.
J. H. Bates, of 41 Park Row, Now
York city, has issued a democratic
souvenir, which is exceedingly hap
py in design and beautiful in execu
tion. It is a lithographic print ot a
size suitable for framing. The up
per corners contain large oval por
traits of Cleveland and Hendricks,
which aie the most lifelike and ac
curate of any that have heretofore
been published. Between them is
a half-length portrait of Samuel J.
Tilden, and the background, behind
the Sage ot Grammercv, is a distant
view of the National Capital. Be
low this Thomas Jefferson, the fath
er of the democratic party, is repre
sented with the Declaration of In
dependence in his hands, while in
the distance Independence Hall is
seen. Andrew Jackson and Gener
al George McClellan are represent
ed in military costume in the lower
corners, while to the right and lett
are ideal representatives of the army
and navy. Taken as a whole this
Sovenir is an artistic and interesting
production.
