A funny case was tried a few
days since in East Saginaw,
Mich. a stranger took a ten
cent smile in Steinburg's sa-
loon, aud tendereda a 500 note
in payment. Steinburg went
out to get the bill broken. He
did not return, and the drinker
had him arrested for stealing
.Steinburg says he gave the bill
toa Mr.. Hubert, a butcher, who
handed in return $40, saying
that the $50 would just square
up the account he had against
him. Steinburg protested
The butcher was immoyable.-
Steinburg then went out and
tried to borrow the $50 in order
to pay the man his change. =
This caused the delay, and the
gentleman was gone when
Steinburg got back. To sub
stantiate the story, Mr.. Hubert
swears that he has the bill.

we would bust UP, we couldn't last

cling to the cause--we amt played

long as there is spark of hope
of saving one man from drunk
ard grave. We intend 10 do our
duty, come what will. When
ever you miss our voices amid the

Get up the least political ques-
ton in the world, and every news
paper throughout the land viii.
waste twenty columns talking on
its right or its wrong. aud every
mouth viii be wide open from
morning till night discussing the
matter. "0h it'll never do, says
lone; eff it comes to that we are a
ruined people, certain" wheD
probably the question that is at
stake don't amount to handful
Iof beans. @
We have come to the Conclusion
that politicians don't love their
"dear bleeding country" as we'll as
they make out. If they did they
would surely take up the cause of
incompetence, which is now doing
more toward the ruin Of this coun-
ty than all the political questions
now before the American people.
Yes, when ever you see a spread
eagle orrator moaning, smiling
and whining over such small
matter, when there Is SO great a
question before US, you may set it
down that be don't mean it. No,
sir, he don't meanit. Take intem-
perahce on every hand and you
can't find q single evil that is
bringing more poverty in the land
than it is. 7
If the people would turn their
more to this great cause
they could soon break up drunk
enness, and we would have a So
Der, high.minded and industrious
people, and inside of ten years the
United States would be the most
powerful, happies! and religious
nation on the globe. Stop that
one evil and you effect more good
than you will by all your political
matters put together.
We long to see the day when
1ur orators, preachers and public
men will take up this great cause
md bring it before the people as it
should be brought, aad wake them
Up from the charms of 30 great a
'uin. H. h-s
Take modern history and yon
.an hud more nations ruined, more
'attles lost more starved women

ing liquors, than anything else

A Remarkable Murder
Case.

The Richmond Wig of a re-
cent date has an account of q
brutal murder across the border
| in Wilkes County, North Car
Iolina, a few days since, and the
circumstance of which is not a
little remarkable. 1t appears
that a gentleman residing in
that county, a few days preyi-
Gus to the murder sold to a
neighbor a tract of land, for
81 900 in cash. Business call
ing him away from home soon
after, he left the money with
his wife. On returning he
stopped over night with a
friend living some ten or twelve
miles distant from his home
In the night he dreamed that
some men had entered his house,
murdered his wife and two chill
dren,. stolen his money and de-
stroyed his property. He be-
came uneasy and restless and
requested a peddlcr stopping at
the house with him to accompa-
ny him at once to his home, for
he feared that there was reali-
ty in his dream. On arriving
to his horrorhe found his wife
and family murdered and two
men sitting at the table counting
the money he had left. He and
the peddler being armed, imme-
fred upon the men and
killed them. The assassins
turned out to be the neighbor
who had bought the land, and
the neighbor's son.

The Chicago Republican says
there has been recent judicial
decision touching the tax upon ci
gars, making it penalty not to
destroy the box after the cigars
shall have been taken therefrom
This applies not only to the re5u.
lar dealer in the article, but 30 the
consumer, and the individual who
has q dozen empty cigar boxes
clicking around his house, or in
the possession of his children, had
better put his foot in them, or In

meet the penalty; since the law

has called forth the following from Mnvor
Screvcn:
! learn that tho New York Herald of
This morning. asserts tho existence of
yellow fever in Savannah. The stntc
ment ls wholly without foundation.
There is not now, nor has there been
any yellow fever in Savannah the pre-
sent year. and the city is freer of disease
OF any kind and healthier thun in any
previous year. A retraction OF tho state
ment of tho Herald, so far as Savannah
Is concerned, is requested.

Mayor.
