When we hear of a Republican
of Congress introducing n bill to pay Sam
uel ,7. Tilden his salary as President of
these United States fur four years, wo shall
begin to think the “grand old party" is put
ting ilself in position to pose as a genuine
reformer. We do not take mnch stock in
the reform that lcavos the greatest wrongs
unremedied.
The contempt of tho Indians for the
army is thus illustrated: When General
Sherman was st Fort Bayard he was asked
by an Indian chief for an old field piece
that stood ont in tho enclosure. “Can'l
have it," was tho answer. “Why not?"
“What do yon want with It: to kill sol
diera?" “Soldiers? Ugh, no. Use ’em
kill cowboys. Kill soldiem with club.”
Amono the experiments on the liquor
question is this embodiod in a hill in the
Ohio Legislature: Every man who desires
to be an habitual drinker mast go before a
probata j nil go and obtniu a permit, on pay
ment of fifty cents, which will entitle him
-to purchase whisky at saloons. The bill
makes it a punishable offense for a saloon
keeper to sell liquor to a person not hold
ing such a permit.
l'ooa Florida just now is having a multi
tude of sins laid against her. Arthnrapent
a few days there some years ago, and now
that bis stomach is giving wny, the New
York Tribune says: ”In the trip to Florida
while he woa President, ho contracted nin-
lam,'and this has annoyed him ever since.' 1
Any man who has lived in Washington and
can chamber six brandy, cocktails before
breakfast, ought to treat Florida malaria
with unbounded contempt.
In a private letter Secretary of 8tate Boy.
aid thus speaks of the recent attack on him
in the North American Review: “There
lives not a human being to whom I would
at this moment intentionally give pain, and
therefore I had rather pirn away from men
who disgust me by their bnaenoss snd
wound me by their venom. The kingdom
is within, snd a man who means to be hap
py must be oontent within. It ie the fate
of high place to afford an easy target for
any assault, and I must not expect excop
tion. I do not think a thousand North
American Reviews can change my real char-
acter nor my jnst repute with honorable and
sensitive men. Rut they can give p-in to a
great many innocent people.”
Iowa continues to kick against prohibl
rion. W. R. Vaughan, mayor of Council
Bluffs, and chairman of the executive com-
Jnittee of the mayors of Iowa, who met in
convention in Des Moines on December 16
"to'discus* the prohibition question, has
issued s call for s meeting in Dos Moines of
persons in favor of a high license law, to be
held on Wednesday, January 27. The ob
ject of the meeting, according to the call, is
“to sid snd counsel the executive commit
tee, and to see and anggeet to their respect
ive Senators and Representatives the ne-
ceesity of independent and prompt action
in this important matter. The question to
he decided is, shall the old bine laws of
Connecticut of more than a hundred years
ago become the prevailing laws of Iowa,
now in the evening of the nineteenth ccn-
tnry? .
The Charleeton News snd Courier does s
little ciphering. It says: “A new directory
of Atlanta has been published by authority
of the city council of that place. It con
tains £0,000 names. The publisher declares
that ‘if one name represent* three souls in
population Atlanta has apparently 60,000
people.' The new directory of Charleeton
contains CO,000 names. According to the
Atlanta mode of competing population.
Charleston Las 180,000 inhabitants. This
little sum wdl show the great advantage of
a practical application of Georgia mathe
matics to South Carolina affairs.” Aa every
individual in a negro family has a different
the Atlanta isat will not work.
^Twenty-one thousand is about tbs figures
Atlanta's permanent population. Of
use when Uu> chain-gang is voted it
sounds bigger.
A Parson'* itttiil un Miiulay Taper*.
The wandering evangelists who are indus
triously handing the hat around in various
localities, have connidered it part of their
stage business to pitch into Sunday news
papers. It has not done Sunday newspa
pers any harm, and may perhaps have given
pleasure to the people who are contributing
to the support of tho evangelists and their
families.
It begins to appear as though there ia to
be a war waged between the pulpit and the
preas, which should be two great moral and
educational allies. The well-conducted
newspaper has found its way into the hands
of millions of people of both sexes and all
ages and conditions of life, and is being
recognized as one of the mighty public
levers.
A few nights since the Typotheal Society
of New York, gave a banquet. This society
is composed largely of printers, and the
peciul object of this particular banquet
was to glorify Benjaman Franklin.
Among the invited guest was Dr. Paxton, a
Presbyterian divine, noted for bis pulpit
oratory, who was expected to pay for his
ilrink and victuals, with lria post prandial
oratory. The learned and reverend gentle
man rather disturbed the pleasure of the
occasion, and revealed the true secret of the
opposition of some preachers to newspapers.
‘Though a guest of printers and sitting
among the writers of books and for news
papers, be chose to improve, the occasion
by hnrling at the company the most bitter
and wholesale denunciation of books and
newspapers, and wlieu his remarks seemed
to be unpalatable he tiew into a rage and
refused to go on until a courteous printer
had used every art of flattery to bring him
to his foot again. Dr. Faxton'exasperating.
ly said ‘the press is over the pulpit and has
usurped our Sunday.” Accordingly he
proceeded to abuse with violence the rival
of which he confessed he was afraid, and in
his passion cried out against all reading.
No man is ever wiser from reading tho pa
pers.’ he exclaimed, ’and no one would be
more ignorant if ho let them go unread.'
The opinion of the assembled company
was unanimous that Ibe Reverend Dr. Fax-
ton had made an unmitigated ass of himself.
Criminal Neglect.
Looking over the vast list of such cases,
wo are struck with tho fact that the strang
er who marries the ambitious villago girl is
generally either a thief, a forger or a biga-
mist. Marriage for girls is a lottery at heat
but the girl who takes an unknown husband
draws from a wheel in which there are none
but blanks.
The latest case in point is that of Miss
Nettie Dorsey, of North Bend, Neb., who
married, without the proper precautions,
dashing stranger hearing tho euphonious
name of Harry llaycs Claire, and began
wedding tonr. In less than a week tho
detectives had Harry llaycs Claire hand
cufled under a warrant for forgery and
horse-stealing. In less than another week
proof was furnished that be had a wife and
two children living in Indiana.
Few people will have the heart to blame
greatly the chief sufferer in this sad drama.
Tho girl in her teens, is as a rule unstispl
cions and easily deceived, but words fail
express the opinion we entertain of the
natural protectors of such unfortunate* as
Mias Dorsey. It seims to he a settled fact
that there are men who will
blindly entrust to a stranger the lives,
honor and happiness of thoir female
kin upon less security than they would
demand for a loan of fifty dollars. If, when
communities rise np and lynch snob
scoundrels as Claire, they would pay a vis
it to the accessories through criminal
negligence and leave with them coats of
tar and feathers, the moral effect would bo
good. A than should understand that ho
is not only responsible to hie word or (laugh
ter in such matters, but society alao.
A St. Louis paper notices the arrival and
departure of the North Carolina negroes
hound for California. “About seventy
negroes, including children, came in lost
night via tho Iron Mountain and left at
once via the Missouri Facrfic (or California.
It seems Unit Lucky Baldwin, who owns a
large ranch near Los Angeles, has had con
siderable trouble with his Chinese laborers
of late and concluded to fire them out and
try uegroes. About a month ago he sent
an agent to North Carolina to seenro, if
possible, enough reliable negroes to work
his ranch. The negroea were found, and
found penniless, too, bat Baldwin fixed all
that by depositing sufficient money in n
bank at Los Angeles to defray all their ex
penses from starting point to destination,
lie then telegraphed to General Passenger
Agent lI.C.Town*end,of the Missouri Pacific
'to send them niggers along.' The funny
part of it was that Townsend had to have
enough rations cooked at the starting point
to last the party to St. Louis, and another
anpply prepared here to last them through
to the ranch. When the ‘rations' were put
aboard last night, one old negro kicked vig
orously because there was no 'molasses,'
but that 'deficiency' was soon made good,
and the party went on their way rejoicing.
They travel in what is called an emigrant
sleeping car.* They were a jolly lot, and
seemed pleased at theiropportunity to 'go
West'"
world, and there are many axes to be
ground. It is not beyond the possible that
journals which decry Florida may be work
ing in the interest of emigration companies
that are pulling westward instead of south
ward. The safest plan for those who wish
pnrehase land in Florida or anywhere
else is to examine in person or by a known
agent the locality selected and to pnrehase
only after the titles have been serntinized.
But this is a rule that applies not only to
Florida but to all other sections. The man
who ignores them is apt to get bitten in the
most moral community he may select.
Nauseated With tlielr Own Medicine.
Our noon dispatches leave the House of
Representatives on the brink of a tillibus-
tering campaign. The Republicans hoped
get in some campaign literature in the
way of partisan speeches over Boutelle's
resolution, but ns Billy Chandler and Ma-
bone and their methods are to be investigat
ed, they take no further interest in the sub
ject.
With tho spirit already manifested,
we may reasonably look for a long session,
occasionally illnminnted by partisan con
tests. So, far, but little attention boa been
devoted to the business of the people.
If, as we suspect, a contest of endurance
has been opened, the opportunity is fair for
the display of the disciphne of the Demo
cratic majority in the House. The Ucpub-
licans should have their own medicine
forced down their own throats.

she said was always worth hearing, l’er
sons were never her theme, unless public
characters were under discussion or friends
were to be praised, which kind office she
frequently took upon herself.

cavalry leader, who 1s now Governor of Cal

the war at the Hau Gabriel Mission near
Los Ange'es. Hia health was completely
undermined, and it has taken almost twen
ty years to overcome his severe dyspepsia.
His equanimity of temper suffered corres
pondingly, and there were few people who
would brave hia remarks by a visit to the
huge orange plantation which he cultivated.
It is almost nnnecess iry to add that his re
stored health has completely altered
hi* disposition, and that there are few
more genial men than be to-day in Cali

The example of tho London and North
western Kailway Company in substituting
metal crosaties for wooden ones will have
to be followed by some of the railroads of
this country before long. Already wooden
crosaties sre becoming scarce in many sec
tions, and as they have to be frequently re
placed they are very expensive.
The reporter of the Louisville Courier-
Journal at Dawson, Ky., referring to the
recent cold weather in his vicinity, states
that “fire was burning with intrepidity,” but
that this did not prevent the freezing of the
chemicals in the jars in the telegraph of
fice, aud, to add jeBt and tone to his report,
he adds that coal oil was frozen into solid
cakes of ice. Finally “the sun was emit
ting his bright rays of splendor, notwith
standing the peerless wind was penetrating
and perpetual."
The Italian police are making vigorous
efforts to stop the purchase and exportation
of children. Several persons engaged in the
nefarious traffic have been arrested. An
organ-grinder and his wife who were ar
rested at Rome were found in possession of
two lads of sixteen and one of seven, whom
they were taking to France to dispose of in
the labor market there. The lads bod been
bought of their parents in the province of
Caseria. One had been sold for $26, and
the other two, who are brothers, for $10.75
each.
A “bkcarbe" is the latent title for Paris
ian dandies, and the term is also used to re
place the now well worn expression “chic.”
The "becarre" must be grave and sedate,
after the English model, with short ha ! r,
tight hair collar, small moustache and
whiskers, but no heard. He must always
look thirty years of age, must neither dance
nor affect the frivolity of a floral button
hole, or nny jewelry, must shako hands
limply with ladies, and gravely bend his
head to gentlemen. “Becarre"—being
translated—is "natural,” used in a musical
sense.
A novel Parisian “agpncy” is one which
advertises wedding guests for hire by young
coupleB who wish to make a brave show on
their bridal day. It seems that th8 leasing
of wedding presents is no longer a custom
sufficiently piquant to meet the taste of the
gay capital, but the new institution will,
perhaps, keep the gossips busy for a sea
son, and incidentally come to the relief of
the exhausted American paragrnpher. The
terms of those engaged in the new industry
are said to bo moderate, varying according
to the class of the contracting parties and
the degree of dress selected.
Vessels plying the placid Mediterranean
now have a hidden foe moro to be dreaded
than the sharpest reef. Shipmasters
are warned of the erratic torpedo which
has lately broken away from its moorings,
and is drifting about seeking to entrap
some unsuspecting craft. It seems that
the Tripoli government, in a sudden panic
at the prospect of an Italian invasion, tilled
its ports with 18,000 men and strung tor
pedoes across its harbor. During the re-

Florida Fraud*.
The New York Herald ha* inaugurated a
crusade against some of the paper towns of
Florida, a good work, if carefully conducted,
since every honest man in Florida is ham
pered and the whole State damaged by the
men who do btuineai there npon false rep
resentations. Like all new countries, Flo
rida contains many sharpers and wildcat
schemes by which over-confident people are
defrauded and the whole section brought
into disrepute. The evil is, we believe, not
greater there than in Texas and other West
ern State* that offer inducements to emi
grants.
