A Warning TO Girls Anxious to
Marry.
From the Cincinnati Gazette.l


From the Cincinnati Gazette.l
A divorce case in one of our courts
should prove warning to young girls,
or old girls for that matter, who may be
tempted to open correspondence with
strangers with view to matrimony,
or any other view.
John p. Dabney, married man, under
the name of j. d. Plat and f. M.
Works, advertised for correspondence
with girls between the age of seventeen
and twenty, which was answered by quite
number of females, and in one case
Dabney, under the assumed name of
Works, contracted an engagement with
girl at Cornersville, Indiana.
This Dabney,, who is, Of course, a
worthless scoundrel, was turned out of a
boarding house for non-paymento of board,
and trunk belonging to him was re-
tanned by the landlord. This piece of
furniture was subsequently opened by
his wife, and among its contents were
one hundred and fifty love letters and q
number Of photographs from girls who
had answered his advertisement. These
'documents" are in the hands of law
yers, and we're made public in court
The newspapers mercifully refrained
from giving particulars, otherwise the
foolish girls who wrote the letters and
furnished their photographs might have
been exposed.
Another case recently occurred in
this line which is also to be mentioned
as a warning A man advertised for
correspondence, and was answered by
daughter of respectable parents. The
correspondence was continued, an en-
gagement contracted and a day fixed
for the wedding. At the appointed hour
the man drove up to the house in a car
riage, met the girl for the first time, was
married; the pair got as far as Chicago
ON their wedding tour, where the woman
was deserted, and compelled to retnrn
to her parents, heart-broken and dis
graced.
We do not suppose that an honest
man ever advertised for correspondence
with a view to matrimony, or for any
other purpose, and girls should regard
all such advertisements as frauds, to be
avoided as they would avoid the keeper
of common brothel.

Western Justice.

Several years ago, when the West was
comparatively a new country, an indi
vidual presented himself at the door Of
log grocery in a settlement since aban,
doned, and asked if there was judge
in the place. Upon being informed that
the storekeeper himself was a judge,
the stranger proceeded
well, judge, you see the facts in the
case are these / war travelin' along
with a pardner down here apiece, and
he showed me silver dollar which he
had. Well, popped him under the ear
with my pistol. Then | took his silver
and tobacco and cum along alone; but l
got to thinking the matter over, and |
don't think l did just the right thing by
my pardner My conshuns has been
troublin me, and / think | ought to be
hung. Now, judge, if 1t wouldn't be too
much trouble, I'd like to have you try
me and have me hung If you doubt
the facts in the case there is the dollar
took from my pardner and you'll find
his remains down the road apiece under
log. I'll feel obliged to you, judge, if
you'll have me hung"
The Judge told the stranger to make
himself comfortable over at the hotel
until he could send some men down the
road to investigate the matter, and If
they found the body he would call jury
and try the stranger, as was desired.
The dead man being found, the judge
summoned a jury, and sent word to the
stranger at the hotel that if he would
step over to the store they would give
him a trial.
The stranger appeared Immediately,
shook hands with the judge and jury,
invited the court to take drink, and
appeared grateful and satisfied with the
proceedings.
The trial proceeded socially, and the
tender-hearted jury brought in verdict
of guilty of manslaughter in the first de-
gree. A look of anxiety, which the
stranger had worn up to this time, faded
from his face as he stood up to receive
his sentence. You have been found
guilty" said the judge "of the crime of
manslaughter, for which you are IN
doubtedly penitent." Here the stranger
again began to get anxious and uneasy.
"And if, proceeded the judge, 1T
meets your appreciation, we will try to
hang you next Sunday morning at II
o'clock a. m. In the meantime, try to
make yourself as comfortable as posi-
bic"
The stranger looked little sad, and
the Judge asked him il he wasn't salts
fed. If there was anything he could do
for him.
Judge, hate to be particular and
fussy," said the stranger, "but havin'
the ager and fever, the ehills come on
at 10 O. clock in the mornin, and if you
could have me swung off before that
should feel obliged"
"Of course" said the judge, we al
ways respect a party's feelings. No
trouble at all. Come round at nine |
o clock, and may be we'll get through |
before church time" IC
Sunday morning at nine o'clock the
stranger came out Of the hotel and pro-
ceeded to the grocery. There he net
deputation Of citizens, one Of whom
threw a lariat over tree, and, as soon
as the stranger had taken a chew Of to-
baceO and shaken hands all round, they |
hauled him up.

Many persons are not aware OF the
great difference between compound and
simple interest. 1t is made, however,
particularly striking by Mr.. Francis
Bailey, who discovered that if two cents
had been put out at FIVE per cent. COM
pound interest at the birth of Christ, 1t
would by the year 1910 have amounted
to more money than could have been
expressed by 357 600, 600 Of globes, each
equal to the earth in magnitude, OF solid
gold Of standard quality; whereas, II
the calculation had been made at simple
interest, it would not have amounted to
over SlOS3.

DURING THE SIEGE.
How the Paris Libraries were Pro.
tecfed.

n "
tected.
The Paris correspondent of Childs'
Publishers Circulars writes as follows
wrote you once during the siege, but
dare say the letter never reached you,
for it was with something like despair |
broke it into the pretty fragments re-
quired by the postofiice-French stupid
ity, of which we have had so many ex-
amples during the last year. The letters
were all carried off by balloon, so the
DEGREES issued to diminish the weight Of
letters served to increase it, as, instead
of one envelope, three or four more were
always required. have not written you
since the siege was raised, because /
have been in state of complete apathy
and stupor ever since. During the siege,
our libraries with one exception, the
Luxemburg library were not only closed,
but turned topsy-turvy. The manu-
scripts were placed in the cellars, and
the most valuable books were car
ried there, if there was room, and
when these cellars were filled they
were carried to the cellars of the Louvre
and Tuileries. There they are still, for
it is next to impossible to get French
men to work while the government gives
them thirty or fifty cents day to do
nothing but to strut in gay clothes be-
hind band Of music. The great library
in Rue Richelieu has not opened its
doors, simply because it has not yet
been able to find men to bring back the
books from the cellars of the Tuileries
and Louvre. All the persons employed
by the library are busily engaged trans
ferring these volumes z The work pro-
ceeds slowly with so few persons. At
the great library the yards we're un-
paved, that bombs might bury them
selves harmless in the ground. In
every room huge reservoirs of zinc were
placed and filed with water; zinc
buckets, sponges and blankets were
placed near each reservoir. There was
pile of sand every few yards to- ex-
tinguish incendiary shells filled with
petroleum oil. Several spades were
placed by each pile of sand. All the
persons employed by the library were
divided into watches, who were on duty
day and night. No bombs fell near the
library. They fell thickly around the
Luxembourg, Sainte Genevieve, and the
Garden of Plants Library, but injured
none of them. The museums and hot
houses of the Garden of Plants suffered
severely, and one or two shells fell in
the Museum of the. Mining School, with
out, however, doing sensible damage. 1t
was touching sight to see all the per
sons belonging to the Garden of Plants,
headed by the venerable widow of
Geofroy st. Hilaire and by the venera-
BILE NJ. Chevreni, the eminent chemist,
each of whom is ninety years old, go
down into the cellars to escape the
bombs.
