HAIR-BREADTH ESCAPES.

We hear of hairbreadth escapes,
but hair breadth covictions are less
frcqueut.. One of these rarities oe-
Cured in Baltimore the other day.
One Ludwig Moser, letter carrier,
was suspected of stealing letters.
Accordingly, a.decoy letter was
prepared. A worthless five dol
lar bill was inclosed and hair from
a mans whiskers inserted in such a
manner that the opening of the en-
velope would displace it. The let
ter was addressed to a fictitious per-
son and given to the carrier. He
returned it in a few days, saying
that he could not find the party's
named. The hair was gone; the
position of the bill-which he had
doubtless discovered to be good
or-nothing-changed, and traces of
additional mucilage, used in reseal-
ing the envelope, were visible. The
jury, on trial of the case, returned
verdict of guilty, and Mr.. Moser
is no doubt now suffering the penal
ty of his crime.

COMMANDMENT OF PARIS.

A dispatch from Margency says,
that on the 9th, dozen shells were
thrown into Paris from Raincy, a
distance of seven thousand yards.
Another dispatch dated on the Both
says that Fort Avron was silenced
by the bombardment from the ene-
my's guns. The railway station at
Noisy was shelled, and the French
artillery at Bondy dislodged. The
garrison of Fort Avron fled to Paris.
General Chausey resumed the often
sive, and is moving on St. Calais.
There are fresh reports that propo-
sitions for peace have been made to
Gambetta. The German reinforce
ments on their way to France, num-
ber one hundred and fifty thousand
men. The conference on the East
ern question is said to be indefinitely
postponed. Accounts from both
Prussian and French sources, show
that the troops on both sides are
suffering terribly from the intense
cold. Great quantities of material
calculated to increase the comfort oi
the troops, have been sent to the
front.

THE LATE ELECTION,

The New York Herald, which is
often quoted by the Democratic
press as pretty good authority in
political matters, says the recent
elections "settle the conflict of the
next Congress for the Republicans,
with the balance of power in the
Presidents veto; they show in their
results that on the platform of Gen
eral Grants administration the Re-
publican party still substantially
hold their ground; that the great
political reaction expected by over
confident Democratic arithmeticians
has not begun, and that the Repub-
leans, with Grant as their candi-
date, have still the inside track and
a good headway for the Presidential
succession"

SENATOR WILSON

Writes for the January Atlantic a
lengthy article on "The New De-
partment of the Republican Party"
He holds that not even in the dark
est night Of the rebellion were there
more pressing claims for the earnest
thought and self-sacrifcing effort of
intelligent philanthropic, pious men
and women to avert impending dis
aster from this great nation from
the demon of unhallowed ignorance,
incapacity, and perverted use of the
ballot. The Senator calls earnestly
for fuller attention to the educa-
tional needs of the people, and thinks
it incumbent on the Republican
party to take decisive action to pro-
mote the true national welfare in
this particular.

LAND FOR SOLDIERS.

We notice that General Beatty has
introduced bill amending the law
of the last session of Congress, Civ
ing the soldiers the right to a home
stead of 160 acres of any reserved
lands belonging to the United States,
and lying along any railroad or
public improvement. This amend
atory act, if it should pass. permits
the soldier to assign such right to a
son or daughter if they are twenty
one years old. 1t also gives to the
WIDOW or soldier, the same rights
that soldier would have had if the
soldier were living. If the soldier
and wife are both dead, the eldest
child succeeds to the right of the
deceased soldier, and if no wife OF
children are living, then the father OF
widowed mother of the deceased
soldier succeeds to his rights.
We think that the provisions OF
General Beatty's bill are so mani
testify just that Congress will not
hesitate to pass the act, and thus
render the soldiers right to land
available to his family, where, in
many cases, it would not be under
the old law. We think if the mat
ter was extended further and each
soldier who served not less than
ninety days should have 160 acres
Of land whether settling on it or not,
that it would be still better.-Na-
rion Independent.

How a Texas Woman Persuaded Her
Husband to Go Home.

A correspondent of the Denton
Monitor says handsome, dashing
woman rode into a village in that re-
gion, a few days ago, and, alighting
from her horse, went rapidly to a
drinking saloon, where number of
sovereigns were having a "high
time" She singled out the finest
looking man in the crowd, ,and, walk
ing up to him, seized him by the
arm and ordered him to put down
the glass which he was about to
drain. He dashed down the glass
and rushed away; the lady followed,
and finally cornered him in the bill
liard-room. She told him, in q firm,
determined voice, that the place he
was in and the course he was pur-
suing would not answer for her hus-
band; that he was wasting her prop
erty, and that she would no longer
consent to be disgraced and impov-
erished by him. She demanded
his pistol. He refused. She took
it from him,cocked it and presented
it at him, and told him he must
leave or die. He concluded to
leave, She marched him out as a
prisoner of war to where his horse
was hitched, ordered him to mount,
and in a few minutes the two were
leaving town, the wife riding in the
rear of her captured lord, with his
six-shooter in her hand.-GaIreston

We suppose it safe to say that
twenty-five per cent. of the money
collected from the people of Ohio,
for local purposes, is wasted or
stolen; and this, because an inferior
class of men, generally, are elected
to fill local offices. BY showing the
people what they lose by this course
the evil may be corrected. No city
or town can afford to levy tax of
three or four per cent. Such a tax
dwarfs industry by running business
men and forcing manufacturers to
seek location where they are not
thus robbed.-Cin. Goz,

THE TENUBE.oF.oFFIcE law

Whieh was passed in 1897 to re-
strict Andrew johnson to the exer-

country in President Grant can at
, this time be better expressed in no
other way.

To Discharged Soldiers.
WHO ARE ENTITLED TO THE ADDI-
TIoNAL BOUNTY.

WHO ARE ENTITLED TO THE ADDI-
TIoNAL BOUNTY.
Every soldier who enlisted for
three years and has only received
500 Government bounty unless dis.
charged for promotion, every soldier
discharged for wounds, injuries oi
herpia, received while in the line o1
duty.
The time for filing applications
for additional bounty under the aci
of July, 1866, expires January 18th
1871.
WHO ARE NOT ENTITLED TO ANY
BOUNTY.
Soldiers discharged for disability
(other than caused by wounds, inju,
ries or hernia) before they had seru-
ed two gears. All such should make
an earnest personal effort with theil
friends in Congress to pass the
eight and one-third dollar bounty
law, which passed the House last
Congress, but was defeated in the
Senate OF the United States.

DANGER OF "NoN-ExPLosVE OIL. -
Explosion Of a Patent Perfectly safe"
Lamp--HorribIe Burning of Young
Woman in Poughkeepsie.

The New York Times Of Decem-
ber 30th, contains an account of a
terrible accident at Poughkeepsie,
on the 2Sth. A young woman nam
ed Mary Gibson, was horribly and
perhaps fatally burned by the explo-
sion of lamp in the room, contain
ing what is known as Danforth's
Non-Explosive Oil. At the time of
the accident, she was sewing in a
room upon the second floor, in Com
pany with a little girl,a daughter of
the Lockhart's. According to the
child's statement,the lamp exploded
quite suddenly, scattering the oil
which Immediately was caught by
the flames, over the person of the
unfortunate woman. The latter en-
veloped in flames, ran to a pantry,
caught up some blankets, and made
desperate efforts to smother the fire,
but failing fell to the floor, exhaust
ed by the excruciating pain; and
the child, with a terrifying shrek,
rushed down stairs to inform the
family. Mr.. Lockhart, ,hurrying up,
found, to use his own expression,
that "the flames were three feet
high all round the poor girl;' she
was crawling upon her hands and
knees, uttering heartrending cries,
toward the door leading to the entry.
Mr.. Lockhart endeavored in three
attempts to tear the clothes from
her person, was each time unsuc-
cessful, burning his own hands and
arms in a terrible manner. BY this
time the sufferer had reached the
southern end of the hallway, where
all sorts of clothing was heaped up
on her by Mr.. and Mrs. Lockhart,
who had joined her husband from
below stairs, and they finally sue
ceeded in smothering the flames.
Then the girl had become uncon-
scious.
When the clothing was removed, a
horrible sight met the view. The
girls face, arms and breast, and
other portions of her body, were
burned in terrible manner. She
was laid upon cot and physicians
summoned. In order to dress the
burns properly it was found necces-
sary to cut hanging pieces of black
ened and charred flesh from the
trunk and arms, ,and so intensely did
the victim suffer that her agonizing
cries could be heard a long way off.
In her rawlings she was heard to ex-
claim, 81 will live to see him die yet
and then she would speak affection
ately Of some person unknown.
The physicians say, that her condi-
ton is more comfortable, but they
give no hopes of her recovery.

One of the most valuable Articles
of the present State Constitution
is that which prohibits the State,
save in a few exceptional 'ases, from
creating any debt, and which pro
vides for the payment at an early
day of the debt already contracted.
am convinced that it would be wise
to extend the same policy to the
creation of public debts by County,
City, and other local authorities. s.
The rule, ''pay as you CO." leads to
economy in public as well as in pri
vate affairs, while the power to con
tract debts opens the door to waste
fulness, extravaganza and corrup
ton,
