struck her on the head with loose table leg.
The girls testimony of course could not be Ia
ken in court ofjustice, and it is not likely that
any other can be obtained All the circumstan-
ces, however, go to prOveit its truth. These bru.
talities have proceeded quite long enough, and
we would ask, i'll the name ofhumanity, wheth-
err the people of St Louis are so powerlcss that
such things must be permitted to take place
with impunity? Is there no redress or protec-
ton for helpless slave against the inhumanity
of an owner?
| A RAILROAD Observation-Disclosures Woodnll
of the Little Miami (0hio) Railroad, noticed n
young girl in his train going east, and came to
! collect her fare. He observed that she had but
/ 81, although she was going to New York, as
! she said He became interested in her, learn
ed that she lived in New York, but came west
to work, and had been taken sick. This story
was told so candidly that the conductor, who
had watched the narrator closely, could not
doubt its truth.
"If that is the case, cannot take your mon
cy," he said.
''Indeed sir, ii is true"
"Thcn take your money back" was his an
swer and he passed along.
Through with his collection, he related the
circumstance to couple of gentlemen passen-
gers and proposed to head n subscription list
If they wauld go through the train and take up
a collection for the girl. The gentlemen readi-
ly agreed to this, and in II few minutes had the
pleasure of handing to the girl some seventeen
dollars, enough to pay her way TO New York.
She knew nothing until she received the money
when her grateful feelings gave vent in copious
tcrrs. No one doubted her honesty.
But Woodnll was not satisfied Before she

The Hon. Timothy c. Day sends to the Gin.
cinnati Commercial, the following bitof private
political history:
In this connection desire to give a bit OIL
unwrittcn history, for which have the testi-
Inony of gentleman present Mt the interview
alluded to- 1t is well known to the political
portion of our community that the late Moses
Dawson was warm, personal friend ofAndrew
jackson. They correspondent regularly, and
Gen. jackson never passed through this city
without having nm interview with his old and
trusty friend In 1887, on his return from
Washington, after the expiration of his second
term, General jackson had talk with Moses
Dawson, in the course of which he used the
following language, referring to James Buchan-
I an :-'Aly political life has no greater error to
/ atone than my neglect to crush this reptiLe of
! Pennsylvania when had him in nv power-
He was the cause of bitter war between two
men of this Republic, (Clay and Jackson who
should not have bees so eStranged. His rep.
reservations caused the charge of bargain and
sale, and when brought home to him he mean
y left me alone TO face it. Friends interlercd
then to save him from being exposed, and I
| listened to them" His utter deteStation of the
man was expressed by an emphatic stamp of his
foot when he spoke of him as the "3eptiEe" of
Pennsylvania After the National Democratic
Convention of 1874, jackson wrote TO Moses
Dawson, expires sing his sympathy with Van
Buren, in his defeat, and added, 'but rejoice
at the defeat of Buchanan" This bit of per-
s"nal history is truthful and reliable, and com
mend 1t to the notice Of the Enquirer. And
this is the Democratic Saint, with whose name
is to be linked the honored one of jackson.
TAXES on OUR STATE BoNDs-A late number
ofthe Richmond Enquirer has an excellent and
torcible article against the practice of taxing our
State Bonds
Among other things, the Enquirer says:
The State tax alone reduces the interest re-
celved by stOckhoder on a Virginia six per
cent. bond to 90 per cent-the corporation
tax OF Richmond further reduces the same to
4 60 per cent. Other corporations are empow
cred to lay similar taxes, and we may take the
instance of Richmond as a criterion Now no.
thing IS more apparent than that our own capi-
ttlIstS will not consent to invest their money in
stocks yielding bnt GO per confidence there
can be no doubt that the further sale of stock
by the State TO her own citizens, is no longer
possible under the present system. The further
Issue ofbonds to nOn-resdcnts is equally inpos- /
sihle. The State is prccluded from selling her
own bonds below par. The tax which she i'm /
poses and permits her own municipal corpora. /
her own market. The current price At Rich.
mond is at this time kept down to 6 per cent. I
below par.
