An Unprotected Traveller.

The strong minded female population of the
country have been astonishing US for the past
year or SO by their extraordinary progression,
but we confess the latest Development has
shocked and astounded US to such degree that
We have been looking notes Of exclamation ever
since we read the particulars of the case to
which we refer. We record 1t with blush for
the benefit Of unprotected gentlemen who may
travel in sleeping cars at the North 70 con-
dense our horrible story, then, it appears that
strong minded woman of oratorical proclvi-
ties deliberately took possession Of gentle
mans sleeping berth. Here she was found by
her victim. The unfortunate man explained
that he had secured the apartment and mildly
suggested that she had made mistake. Not
So She was sleepy and didn' mind him, not
a bit The unhappy traveller protested The
lady (?) began to take down her back hair
The gentleman pulled off his boots. The
well, to cut a dreadful story short-the unpro-
tected gentleman bounced into one berth, and
the strong minded woman into the other, where
she added injury TO insult BY snoring all night
with a regularity and power which would have
done honor to a domesticated grampus. We
shall not attempt to describe the emotions OF
her victim, but insist that there should be some
adequate protection afforded the tnodesty, il
not the lives and limbs, of bachelors who travel
by rail in this country. -NoroM Nrgiaian.

Still More PIundering.

The rascality of Radical officials, says the
Chambersburg pa Faley Spirit, seems to
be leaking out in different quarters. 4 heavy
system of fraudulent practices has been carried
on in the New York Custom House. Collector
Grinnell and District Attorney Pierpont are
making an investigation into the affairs of the
Custom House, and have ascertained, beyond a
doubt, that an immense quantity Of goods has
been removed from bond upon fraudulent pa
pers, and that the Government has been de-
trauded of about a million dollars. It is alleged
that these frauds have been conducted in the
boldest possible manner, and it is suspected
that they are the work of some one holding q
responsible position under the Government.
With frauds committed in the Custom House,
and frauds committed by the Whisky Rings,
and frauds committed in the shape of gold
gambling specuations in the Treasury Depart
ment, the Radicals are making sorry exhibi-
ton of the moral ideas of which they claim
to be the representative party. No wonder
that money is scarce. No wonder that taxation
IS becoming intolerable. Every dollar stolen
from the Government must be raised by the
people. All the "pickings" which go into the
pockets ofthese corrupt official s, must be made
up by taxation They are growing rich upon
the honest toll Of the day-laborer and mechanic,
and the enterprise and industry of business men
generally. 1t is high time that this thing should
be stopped. When the rascals are discovered,
let there be no leniency extended to them. Let
their punishment be more than mere exposure.
Let them be tried for their crimes, convicted
and punished 10 The fnll extent nf tho lnu,
