MI. John Cummings and Mr.. Joe Ar
mold were confirmed by the city council,
last night, ~ day policemen. They are
the right men In the right places.
A short time since . resolution passed
placing the public pump buildings,
machinery and property Into the charge
Of q day policeman. Mr.. Cummings
being practical machinist and engineer
Is the very man for that position.
Since the last term of The Court of
Common Pleas, held In February, Joe
Arnold arrested three negroes for burg.
larry and three white men for robbery.
At the present term of the Circuit Court
evry one Of them was proven guilty, and
to the penitentiary. This
fact speaks well Of Joe as detective,
and shows that his selection by the coun-
Gil was wise and judicious.

Very Contemplate Iuaeea.

Some depraved and heartless person
(to whom certain circumstances point
with considerable certainty has, for the
second time, deposited q newly born
babe on the door step Of one Of our most
upright and respectable citizens. The
miserable creature guilty Of this unnat-
ural conduct may think that he excites
ridicule against the citizen In question;
but I'm this he was never more mistaken
in his life. The only feeling excited is
that Of supreme contempt for the being
capable OF such heartless and unfeeling
abandonment Of his own offspring.
We are almost persuaded that We
know the guilty party. A link or two In
the chain Of circumstances will make
the proof complete, when We shall not
hesitate TO make the name public.
