"ALwAYs CARRY My MONEY HERE."--
We have often laughed at the illustrations
which we have had occasion TO encounter of
the truth of the poets couplet:
sThe faults of our neighbors with freedom we blame
But tax not ourselves though practice the same
A friend mentions an amusing crcum-
stance corroborating this, of which he was
himself an eyewitness:
[ was standing, he said, in the railroad
depot at Cincinnati, just as the train was pre-
pairing to start. There great crowd as
usual, in the building, and all at once a man
who put his hand in his under coat pocket
behind to take out his pocket-book to pay his
fare, exclaimed, his face glowing with ex-
citement:
"I've been robbed! There are thieves
about here Some villain has taken my
pocket-bo book with over thousand dollars in
it!''
"Where did you carry your pocket-book,
sr!''
'sTn my under coat pocket, sir, behind!'
"Then, sir, you can scarcely blame the in
dividual who has taken it,'' replied the other,
in very pompous, self-satsfed, patronizing
manner, and in ''voice of warming" inteHd-
ed for the ears of all the bystanders; "Yes,
sir, you offer, if | may say so, temptation,
premium, sir, upon theft by carrying your
money in such a place. Now, sir, always
carry my money here" he continued, putting
his hand into an inside breast pocket of his
coat sand there it is always
".Sdte," he oooutd have said; but he sudden
ly drew out his hand as if he had been bitten
by an adder, exclaiming:
"Why my pocket-book has gone too!
Thieves! Thieves! Thieves! Let no one go
out of the depot!'
The advice was acted upon, by doing
which both were found upon the floor, where
they had been dropped by the adroit thief,
who then mingled in the large and promis-
cuous crowd.
The fault of both had been lack of
personal watchfulness in such place. Each
had "practiced the same," as the sage Dog
berry says, they were both sin a case"

UP We have been informed that the reason
the German Band were not at the Depot
Thursday evening was because one member
lived several miles in the country. Another
went after him. 1t rained, and they waited
for the rain to cease, and consequently did
not get in town in time. We give the ex-
cuse for what it is worth, but we venture 10
say, that if the price they originally asked for
half an hours services, three dollars each had
been offered them, they would have risked
getting wet to have been at the Depot in
time.

THE AUTHOR OF THE MAINE LAVA
correspondent of the N Y. Herald says that
Gen. James Appleton, of Portland. and not
Neal Dow, is the author Of the Maine Law.
Gen. Appleton planted the germ of the pro-
hibitory movement, in the year 1882, in a
petition othe Legislature of Massachusetts,
wherein he advocated the exact principles
of the Maine Law. Gen. A, kept up the
agitation by featuring, writing, and in other
ways, until party was organized. Neal
Dow came to work at much later day
Gen. Appleton is quiet farmer, but as the
undoubted author Gin facD of the Maine Law
his name is not likely to be soon forgotten.

UEIt will be seen from the following that
The Lafayette officers are putting liquor sell
lers right through. The Courier says:
FIRST LIQUOR TRIAL.-Richard Miller, an
Irishman, was arrested yesterday afternoon,
being found drunk in the streets, and brought
before his Honor, the Mayor, to testify where
he procured his liquor. This he refused to
do, and for contempt of Court. was sent to
Jail. He, however, subsequently repented,
and testified that he procured his liquor at
the drinking house OF Martin Hughes, near
the Hurley House. Hughes was arrested,
and in the trial it was proved that several
persons went into the Saloon, one of whom
stepped behind the bar, and poured out some
liquor into glasses on the counter-Hughes
not being present. After they had all drank,
one Of their number placed some money on
the counter, and they all left. II was argu-
ed that this was not violation Of the liquor
law, as Hughes did not sell the liquor, nor
did he receive the money knowing that it was
left on his counter to pay for liquor He
found the money and pocketed it not know
ing whose it was, or how it came there
The whole circumstances, however, led the
Mayor to think otherwise, and he assessed a
1 fine against Hughes of fifty dollars. Hughes
at first went to Jail, but afterwards his wife
paid up the fine and costs, and he was
liberated This is the first trial we have
h ad under the Liquor Law.
John Lynch was also fined for a similar
violation of the law, fifty dollars, which he
paid, and was discharged. Informations
have been filed against John Haggerty, and
one or two others, who will be tried to-day.
The Mayor aud City Attorney have taken
hold of this matter with resoluteness; and
the fact that the fines have in each case been
put at the highest figure allowed, shows that
our authorities are determined to vigorously
sustain the Prohibitory Liquor Law. We
advise every liquor Sc Ter to quit the business
entirely. The law must and will be sus
tanned. Don't fatter yourself that you car
evade the law in any manner whatever. Il
is guarded at every point. IF you 1oM sell
and qrW be fined, you have this happy refec
ton, that your money goes, for the support o.
the Public Schools.

Gov. WEIGHTS MoRALITY.-The New
Albany Tribune does not appear to entertain
very high opinion of our Governors mo-
ralty. The Brookville American thinks
that in the freezing of the Internal regions
statement, Mr.. Dunn was more likely than
Gov. Wright. the person who conceived the
idea. The Tribune says:
The statement first made its appearance
in the Evansville Journal, and it purports to
be made on the authority of Maj. John P.
Dunn. The Major has never publicly dis
claimed it, SO far we know; and until he
does, it is certainly fair to presume that he
did make the statement attributed to him,
and that IN doing SO he did not misrepresent
or Islander the Governor. And just here al
low US to suggest to Bro. G GOODWIN, that he
greatly over-estimates the character of Gov
Wright, while he underestimate that of
Maj. Dunn. We profess to have some little
knowledge of both of them; and were we to
sit in judgment upon their moral characters,
we should certainly award the palm to the
Governor, as being the more profane of the
two. The only difference is that the Major
does not cover bis imPiefy with the cloak of
hypocricy.

IL The liquor law lately voted on in Hill
nois was curious piece of legislation. If a
majority voted in its favor it was to 60 into
effect in 1856; if majority voted against it,,
it would 90 into effect in 1857. This is like
the preacher who gave out that he would
preach next Sabbath, the Lord willing. and
two weeks from that time anyhow.
