SINGULAR KIDNAPPING CAsE.-Some time ago,
slave, who called himself George W. Ferris, ran
away from Tuscumbia, Ala. Ferris was so white
that one not knowing him would not suspect his
having negro blood in him. He went to Pittsburg,
where he passed for white man, worked at his
trade, which was that of bricklayer, and married
a white woman, by whom he had one child. A
white man named George Shaw, also bricklayer,
arrived at Pittsburg, and having known Ferris at
Tuscumbia recognized him. He informed his mas
ter Of it, and then enticed Ferris to Kansas where
he was arrested a fugitive from Alabama and
taken back TO his owner. Shaw was tried last week
at Pittsburg and convicted of kidnapping.

The DecenCies OF Life.

There are some persons in lhe world
who IN order TO screen themselves from
the charge of exlrsvsgance and folly, try
to do II under the plea of decency. Those
persons will commit many acts which if
they had true ideas OF decency, they
would hesitate TO perperate. We think
the following are few Of the many prac-
ices iha, come under the cognomon Of
not decent:
1t is not decent for person 10 make
show above his or her means.
i is not decent for person 10 run in
debt when lie does not intend 10 pay.
Ii is not decent for persons 10 be al
ways talking i'll Of their neigIbors.
1t is not decent to ascribe improper mo-
uves TO every one we come in contact
with.
1t is not decent for one 10 appropriate
others pecuniary means for their own
qualification.
1t is moi decent for young people 10
show no peci 10 the aged.
1t is not decent 10 be pIaisng yourself
always.
1t is not decent to keep yourself as
show for others to look ah
1t is not decent in persons going TO Pla-
ces of amusement 10 incommode others in
various ways.
|, is not decent TO spend your money
in foolishness, when you have debts that
ought to be paid.
1t is not decent 10 starye your family
by spending your money for liquor.
1t is not decent 10 be sending clothes
rol the young negroes of Africa, when
you have many ragged children nearer
home.
1t is not decent TO say one thing and
mean another.
