The following story appears I'm
Theodore Tilton's Golden IgG, which
journal vouches for it:
A young lady, Of Philadelphia, of
marked talents, OF many accomp plish-
ments, and of high moral worth, and
lacking only two or three months OF
her majority, had formed aR engage
ment of marriage with young nan
to whom her mother did not wish to
see her allied. The mother had long
been upon her bed, confined with
Illness. through which the daughter
had attended her with the most tilial
devotion.
On learning the fact OF the un-
shaken resolution of this daughter,
the mother sprang from her bed. and,
clutching her child by tho throat,
told her that she should not leave
the room alive; that she should send
her to heaven and her lover to hell.
The poor, half.straRgled girl, know
ing that her mother always kept
within reach six-barreled revolver,
passively resigned herself victim.
She was taken to- an upper room aud
made close prisoner.
And midnight, came when, after
hours OF suffering, she had fallen in
to a troubled sleep. She was walked
by her mother entering the room,
who ordered her 10 get up and dress
herself. A carriage was at the door,
and, with her father aud another
man, she was taken out, and soon
found herself moving away TO the
sound OF carriage wheels.
Soon this was exchanged for the
rapid motion OF steam car, and in
the morning she found herself pris-
oneI in holel in New York. 1t would
seem that plan TO put her on board
OF a steamer sailing To Europe did
not succeed, and her next experience
was TO Philadelphia. Hero again
she was locked up for day or two.
Again. at the midnight hour, she
was taken from her bed, conducted
to New York, and now Put on board
steamer-wi no explanation
whatever as to what was to he her
fate or destination.
She bad imagined she was to be ta-
ken to Boston, and IL was not until
she found herself upon the ocean
that she could have learned the fact
that she was ON her way TO Europe.
Ii is left TO conjecture as to what
may be the fate of this young la
dy. whether she Is To be immured
In q convent or a lunatis asylum Ia
not known to others, and is little
known to herself.

Some highly interesting facts are
presented In the annual report OF the

were aliens decrease of As, 800 from
the number I'm 1869. The number of
German Immigrants i'm 1870 was
Y, $50, less by q, ,255 than during the
preceding year. The total number
of Irish immigrants, 65, l6s. also
shows decrease Of 1,036. or these
immigrants, 1914 .OsS came I'm steamers,
and 1884 in sailing vessels. The
number of persons relieved this year
by the Commissioners of Emigration,
was 81 $40, aud the amount of COM
mutation received by the Commits
sioners was 1881 ,83s SO, Of which a
surplus of $50, ,563. SO remained on the
Sist of December. The Commission

A Family without the Newspaper.

Nothing presents sadder COM
mentary upon the present unhealthy
condition of our once loved and pros.
porous country than the large num-
ber Of families, both i'm the city and
country, but more especially In the
latter, that subscribe TO no paper of
any kind. Hundreds and thousands
of families are thus growing up in
utter ignorance of what Is transpir-
ing in the world around them-igno-
rart Of the mighty events of to-day.
But who can tell the vast amount
of injury that Is being inflicted upon
the rising geaeration-those who are
to take our places in the busy world
at no distant day, growing up with
out any knowledge Of the present,
the past, or any study of the future,
and this ignorance, too, being imbued
into them by the sanction OF those
who should, and doubtless do, know
better, did they only think of the
injurious effects of their insane
course. Let the head of every fam-
lily think of this, and place In the
hands OF those for whom he is re-
sponsible the means of acquiring q
thorough knowledge of the moving
panorama In which we enact our
parts.

Beecher. on Confesslng Sins.

IL man lies think he ought to
confess IL, but it is not expedlent to
tell all our sins openly. Nothing Is
more disagreeable to me than to hear
of a mans ailments. If n person
has sore, I don't want to hear about
1t. / don't care to- be regalod
with the state of mans stomach or
liver. / have ills enough OF my
own. Yet some people will get to-
gether and Groom and Groom and talk
about each others sickness, and
about corpses, aud how many they
have laid out, and have q regular
graveyard banquet. IL Is the same
With spiritual ailments. There are
times when man should make CON-
fessions of specific sins. IL man
has been carrying on the liquor busi.
ness, and is converted, IL is quite
proper that he should confess that lie
has been doing the DEVILS work. If
he has been engaged In any wicked.
ness that has been open to tile whole
his repentance should:be
open. IL is not necessary TO give any
inventory of all ones faults. but If
we say anything 1t is better to be spe-
cific than generic.

THE network of Iowa railroads
now In the course of construction is
calculated. when completed, TO work
very important changes i'm the course
of trade. Considerable Of the busi-
ness of Central Iowa, which has
heretofore found its way TO Chicago,
must hereafter be absorbed by st.
Louis. As an evidence OF this we
are informed that from three TO five
hundred merchants ami business
men residing along the Central lows
Railroad, which has just been opened
To traffic, and other roads connected
therewith, will make an excursion to
st. Louis, next month, with a view
10 renewing old or making new busi-
ness connections with.tbat city.
This Is a matter for general con.
graduation to our people, not because
it matters to them whether their
trade shall profit st. Louis instead of
Chicago or some other point. but be-
cause this opening up of thorough
fares to competing markets, will
benefit us by enabling our people to
buy cheaper and sell dearer than
formerly.

Promissory Notes.

People should always exercise
great care In giving promissory notes
When q man makes a note and parts
With 1t, he does not know into WHOSE
hands II may fall, and blunderingly
draws up, what loss he may be com
PEELED to sustain. Probably the
very man to whom he gives the note
may take advantage of him by filing
upa blank SO az to make IL n hun.
dred or a thousand. Let this maker
or the note understand that by late
decision of the Supreme Court, he
can be held liable for such alteration
long after the note has passed from
him. The case which called forth
this decision was one wherein an or.
dinary promissory note was filled up
for TIE payment of one hundred dol.
lars, the note having been subse-
quently altered by the payee by the
addition of the words land fifty"
The note thus altered, passed from
the payee to an innocent third party,
who, at maturity, presented 1t for
payment, which was refused. The
drawer very properly said he had
given n note for only one hundred
dollars, and would certainly not pay
for one hundred and fifty. A suit
followed. We are not concerned
with the fate of the man who in
serted the words land fifty" and
therefore let him pass. What of the
note? The Supreme Court decided
that the drawee was liable, because,
through negligence, he had not
drawn line between the written
word hundred" aud its printed
word dollars"
Any testimony the drawer might
offer to establish the fact that he
gave note for only one hundred
dollars, must go for nothing, as
there was nothing on the face OF
the note showing that it had been
altered" Evidence OF an alteration
on the face of note would have
changed the case. We may further
more add that the Chief Justice add
ed that such q ruling was deemed
necessary to facilitate the circulation
of commercial paper. Let this de.
cision be a lesson to all drawers OF
commercial paper.

B. +. TAYLOR says that there Is
net a country bred man or woman
now living, but will tell you that life
can offer nothing comparable
with the innocent zest of that old
style Of courting that was done at
singing-school in the starlight and
candle light of the first half of our
century. There are few hearts so
withered and cold but they beat
quicker sometimes when they hear,
In old fashioned churches, the walls
ing, sobbing or exulting strains OF
"Bradstreet," or "China" or Coron-
ation," and the mind floats down on
the current Of those melodies, TO
that fresh young day OF hopes and
illuslons-of voices thai were sweet,
no matter how false they sing--of
nights that were rosy with dreams,
no matter what Fahrenheit said-of
girls that blushed without cause, and
of lovers who talked for hours about
every thing but love.

We regret to announce the death Of this popular
and well known theatrical manager which sad
event took place IN this city yesterday. Mr.. Moore
had been confined to his home for over two years,
suffering from dropsy and heart disease, and the
mental anxiety caused by his stratened circum-
stances and his inability to place his family
above want was only eQualled by the ply
steal pain he suffered He was born IN
Bath, England, IN May, 1925, and made his
debut In the United States In 1849, at the Astor
Place Opera House, as q singing witch In Mac
BETH" Subsequently he held the position OF
ment OF the Ravel Family al the same theatre IN
their engagement travelled with the family, In
1859 Mr.. Moore went to Europe with James M. Nixon
and engaged the COOKIES Royal Circus, with which
and during the following year was proprietor
OF the bar and refresnment saloon. During the
season Of 1906 he stage manager at the Arch
street theatre, Philadelphia, ana was afterwards
employed as travelling business agent for Mr.. and
Mrs. Barney Williams When Mr.. Williams opened
the Broadway theatre Moore was appointed mana
ger-a position he retained until the theatre was
closed forever.
As is the case with too many members Of his pro-
fessIon Mr.. Moore did not "lOOk out for the rainy
day. when In prosperous circumstances He leaves
behind wife and three children In actual want and
trust that managers and actors will display tcr
traditional benev0ence by according to them that
assistance In the name OF the deceased which they,
for hts sake as well as for ther own, 80 much de-
