robbed during the war. The farmer
replied that it had. ct" said the
stranger, "was one Of maurauding
party that did it. I took little silver
locket." "That locket," said the far
mer, bursting into tears, chad been
worn by my dear, dead child" "Here

As the brethren Of the press are
we'll aware q ma ority Of newspaper
agencies are nothing more nor less
than impositions in one sense and
down right swindles in another. In
the former they pay, in the latter
they do not in the former they
hold out great inducements to get
you to accept an advertisement for
less than one-foulth its real value,
whilst in the latter they hold out the
tempting bait at "your lowest cash
price" with the express intent and
purpose of never paying a cent
For such evils as this there should
he a remedy. How, where and by
whom must this remedy come p
There are two propositions that
come up for investigation by which
these evils can be remedied. The
first is with the agent and the second
is with the publisher. BY paying
quarterly in advance the agent can
readily command the respect and
confidence Of the publisher who will
always strive to please and keep
such a customer. Therefore If the
honest newspaper agents will agree
to this plan and stick up to it they
can root out and kill the sickly
} swindling scoundrels who have done
so much 70 destroy the confidence O
the public as we'll as that of the pub.
, Usher in the honesty Of newspaper
agents. Now that we have shown
, how the newspaper agent can bene
fit the publisher, save his own repu

Is THE WORLD GROWING BETTER

FROM the Cncaso IrlDuht.l
The solicitude displayed by Queen Vic
toria during the illness Of her son recalls
(by the doctrine of epposites) the con-
duct of the Queen of England one hum
dred and twenty years ago when her eld-
est son lay dying at Leicester Castle.
Frederick Louis, son of George ii. by
Caroline. his wife, had for years been at
daggers drawn with his parents. He was
strongly suspected of plotting against his
fathers life, and the dislike Of either faith
err or son was sure passport TO the favor
of the other. A short time before his
death his fond mother wrote to Lord Her.
vey as follows: any dear Lord, I will
give it to you under my hand, IL you are
afraid Of my relap,ing, that my dear first
born is the greatest ass, the gr test liar,
and the greatest eanaille. and the greatest
beast in the world and l heartily wish
he was out of it," When he shortly
afterward, went out of it, the joy ex-
hibited at the court Of st. James was
shameless The contrast between the
eighteenth and nineteenth centuries Is n
sharp one.

wanted. The verdict is noteworthy, be-
cause il hints at the possible punishment
of the woman If she is proved guilty. For
long time women have shot men dead
for one cause or another without appear,
ing to incur much risk of paying the legal
penalty. The presumption appears to oS,
in this country, that when n woman kilis
a man. she does it for n sufficient legal
reason. The power to take life IN TINS
informal manner is too great to be saieIy
given to any class of persons, and we are
glad that the coroner's jury in Brooklyn
has had the boldness TO treat Mrs. liyGc
precisely as if she were n man.
