The Jefferson Banner tells shock
ing story of an oecurrencein that village
on Wednesday of last week which
would be aim ost incredible if not well
authenticated. II seems family Of
German enigran;s were stopping at the
Wisconsin House, on their way to
friends near Hebron. One OF the num-
her was baby few days old, born at
Baltimore. The child was feeble and
apparently could not live, and the pa
rents concluded to act upon the advice
Of travelling German doctor stopping
at the same place and give it poison to
put it cut OF existence. The Doctor
accordingly gave the dose, and in a few
moments the little sufferer breathed its
last. The Doctor evidently thought he
had done a charitable act, but he win
probably be enlightened upon this sub
ject in way that will prevent his rep
clifton of the offence, ignorantIy at least.

STocK IN RAILRoADs.-The County
Board yesterday in accordance with the
vote of the people two years ago deliv-
cred TO the A 4. s. S. z. II. II. S150,O00
in county bonds, and received from the
company that amount III paid up stock
in the company. This action of the
board is what was expected from their
intelligence and desire to carry out con-
tracts heretofore made. This action
places Shawnee county on basis of
honesty and gives her reputation that
places her much ahead of some other
counties which have been backing and
filling on railroad matters after the peo-
pie had rendered decision as to the
course to be pursued. We thank the
Board for the manly stand they took and
determination to do right in spite of the
action of a few men who urged them
to do differently. We do not doubt the
honest motives of those who advised
against the action of taking the stock,
but certainly think that they erred in
Judgment, and if their advice had been
followed the county would have re-
ceived shock that it would have taken
years to have overcome.-I0pe&a Rec

OUTDOOR CELLARS.

Having built two outdoor cellars and
nsed them for upward of twenty years,
/ shall venture TO answer to the inquiry

In the first place, selected the most

threw out the dirt to the depth of two
feet Commenced a double brick wall
at the base of the excavation, leaving
vacant space q six inches between the
walls, which were tied at the corners
and several places in the sides, being
careful however, to leave vacant places
or yent-holes, to admit free circpla-
ton of air throughout the length and
breadth Of the walls. The height of the
walls, when completed, nine feet from
base to top. The surplus dirt, banked
up on outside four feet in height. Floor
overhead, two thicknesses of well sea-
soned, matched flooring, and the whole
covered with good pine shingles; double
doors and windows, with flue extend
ing upwards and at the top of the build
ing, to allow impure air to escape, COM
pleted my buildings-all but plastering.
For this 1 used, or rather put on, two
coats of cement, coating the entire floor,
extending up six feet on the walls-for
balance of walls and overhead | used
lime and sand. The last one.construct-
cd leaked, or rater let in some water,
owing TO the wet nature of the ground
where it stands, and run pipe through

of twelve years, and ever fovnd them

ABSURD MOvEMENT.-A movement is a-foot in
New York to incorporate a society having for its
object the regeneration of women who have
strayed from the paths of virtue. A most absurd
idea, and one, we venture to say, perfectly un-
tenable. No power short of Divine can redeem
woman who once has become vicious. If
senie philanthropists must do good, let them
devise means to prevent women from falling,
and not waste time in fussing over those WHO
have fallen.
The above is from the pin-cushon of the Ell
Dorado, the paper edited and printed by females,
in San Francisco. 1t is perfectly womanIy in
its sentiment. A fallen woman has sympathy
from her own sex. The misfortunes,' the sor-
rows, the sufferings, the temptations, the fallen
one may have undergone, weigh nothing with
them unrelenting Death and pitiless the
Judgement, when once it is suspected, even,
that sister has fallen the doors of woman's
mercy are closed forever. No matter what eff
forts the poor one may make to reform, her sis
ters never attempt to encourage her. When
once fallen, though she may afterwards live as
chase as ice and pure as the snow, she cannot
meet her sister females on the street without
noticing blush of shame at her presence and
scornful sweep of naughty robe, lest her acci-
dental touch should be contamination. Christ
ianity lifted woman up from the condition of
slavery in which from the beginning she had
been doomed, lifted her up to be the equal and
companion of man. and yet the founder of
Christianity, the Savior of the race, taught the
people of shat generation that there was really
not so much difference between the fallen woman
and others of her sex. "No power short of Di-
vine can redeem q woman who has once become
vicious" 1t is shame for woman to publish
sentence like that. 1t is at once untrue and
wicked. Thousands of women have been re-
deemed, millions more might be were it not for
the sel6shness, the pride and malice of their
more favored sisters.-Reno Crescent.

CHEAP PLEAsURE.-Did you ever study the

Dc you know how little it takes to make null

OF smile do the work. A poor widow lives in
the neighborhood, who is the mother of half
dozen children. Send them half peck of sweet
apples, and they will be happy. A child has
lost his arrow-all the world to him-and he
nouns sadly, help him to find it, or make him
another, and bow quickly will the sunshine
playover his sober face. boy has as much as
he cin do to pile up cord of wood assist him
for few moments, or speak pleasant word to
him. and he forgets his toll, and works away
without minding it. Your apprentice has bro
kena mug, or slightly injured a piece of work
Say then "You scoundrel u and he feels
miserable but remark 81 am sorry" and he
will try and do better. You employ man pay
him cbeerfully, and speak pleasant word to
him, and be leaves your home with a contented
hesE, to light up his own hearth with smiles
ard gladness. Pleasure is cheap. Who will
not bestow it literally? If there are smiles,
sulshiue and flowers all about US, let US not
gasp them with miser's fist and lock them up
il our hearths. No; rather let us take them
aad sca.tor them about us, in the cot of the
widow, among the groups of children, in the
cowded marts where men of business congre-
gate, in our families and everywhere. We can
make the wretched happy, the discontented
deerful, the afflicted resigned, at cheap rate :
Who will refuse to do it?
