place themselves in antagonism to the
prosecutions of the tyrant Man, have
ventured upon new field of enterprise

themselves into colony near Boston.
Women are to own all the real estate and
transact all the business connected with

over thousand female members have
enrolled their names on the town list.

The proposition for national conven-
ton CT journalists, to take action toward
demonstrating with Congress against the
bill forbidding the free passage of news
papers through the mails, meets with
this sensible protest from the Minnespo-
lis Tribune:
We think it is high time that Journal
ism became profession, rather than an
asylum for paupers. 1t has been crawl
ing long enough, and must stand upon
its feet There is no more reason why an
editor should ride free on railroads than
why he should board free at hotels.
There is no more reason why his papers
should go free within the county than
why the United States Treasurer should
give him postage stamps for his letters.
1t would be pleasant, perhaps, to have
the Government or the town buy O new
press for our Office or a new suit of
clothes for the editor, but we are unable
to see why it should.

How Sam Rallied His Horse.

On Saturday evening Sam Dorsey, q
teamster residing in the MenOmonee val
ley, not far from the brickyards that there
abound, unhitched his horse after a days
service in trucking. The animal was
properly stabbed, but an hour afterward
died very suddenly, to the establishment
as well as CONSERVATION of Sam Though
his loss was one that pressed him sorely
his lively disposition did not lead him
into brown study, as would have been
the course with many better provided with
goods and chattels than he. He made
little ado about the unexpected dispense
ton of Providence, and went to the sl-
loon frequented by Transfers, as was his
custom. When all were jovial cute idea
struck Sam, who is somewhat of wag as
well as truckman.
Boys!" said he, "1'll rattle my horse
at 81 chance if you can get rid of a GER
tain number of tickets this evening""
Done, SAM" shouted one and all,
ready to venture so paltry sum on the
chance of horse.
Tickets were improvised, and every
caller "roped in until midnight neared,
when Sam declared the rattle in order,
although a few tickets remained unsold.
1t did not take long to reach the result of
this impromptu gift enterprise, and when
the winner was announced the boys were
boisterous in their congratulations. The
lucky chap ordered keg of beer set up,
and then followed a carOusal in celebra-
ton of the event in which none joined
more enthusiastically than Sam Dorsey,
as the reader may be assured.
Next morning the new owner of " Bill''
came to see his prize, but was met by
Sam, who, with woful countenance, led
the way to the barn, and pointed to the
PROSTATE animal.
"See it all, Sam. never mind! I'll
make it all right with the boys!" said the
generous winner; and he did, much to
the relief of Sam, who was in terrible
quandary to retain his old-time footing
with the boys. The horse had died dur
ing the night of course, and Sans
chums were willing that their money
should be regarded as donation toward
IA re-establishment of the locomotive force
of his business.
But Sam did not feel at ease with his
ill-gottcn MEANS and met the boys again
last evening, and, "after Il treat all round"
explained his adroit rusc. Contrary to
the ways expectations, the affair caused
great hilarity among his friends. Sam
was voted Il " brick " and was obliged to
raise IA key by way of initiation. The
matinee lasted until late hour, and but
for the fact that one of the party was
housed on Broadway, we would not have
been informed of the cause of the jollitica-
ton, and. Sans luck in railing his horse.

The Chain-Gang.

If you were going through the streets
of San Francisco, and saw, as you might
sometimes see, man at work with hea-
Wy ball and chain fastened to his ankle, you
could hardly help plying him, although
you might know that his own evil deeds
had brought the punishment upon him.
1t is a dreadful lot to be chained to ball,
and obliged to drag it after you wherever
you go-so dreadful that wonder at the
vast numbers who are joining the chain
gang of their own free will. Do you think
l am mistaken? All no! l meet them
every day and everywhere-these poor
fellows dragging the ball that grows hea-
vier with each added year of life. 1 am
almost afraid that some of you may be-
long tc this wretched chain gang-chained
to the heavy weight of bad habits. Only
yesterday L saw mere boy buying tobac-
CO in a store.
"How can you chew that filthy stutf?'
said his companion, who was evidently
ashamed of him.
swell, it did come pretty hard at first"
said the poor prisoner, examining the saw
DRY morsel into his mouth.
Come hard, did it? And yet he persist
ed until he had succeeded in riveting the
chain and fastening the ball that will
drag him down constantly lower and
lower. What dreadful weight he will
find it-a weight upon his health;
weight upon his morals; weight upon
his pockets; a weight upon his energies;
curse; slaves badge, wherever he
may go. He is a bondman, not a free man,
with the saddest of bondage-not to
natural appetite that conquered him, but
to an unnatural one that he was at great
pains to cultivate and fasten upon himself.
The chain is not very strong at first, and
he fancies he could break it at any time,
and so he goes on until bands of iron and
links of steel are less strong, and the ball,
that was little thing, grows to deadly
weight.
1 have only mentioned one bad habit;
but there are scores of others. All up
and down the streets of this Western city
where 1 write, are saloons, with music
playing behind the screens, and lighted
windows inviting the passers-by. Men
sit around the doorway and under the
awnings, and boys go in and out, or linger
about the entrance. The DEVILS recruiting
offices, some one has rightly named these
dens; and there are the boys and the
young men enlisting in his service, join
ing the dreadful army, and helping the
evil one to fasten the ball and chain that
all his prisoners drag.
Every bad habit is weight. Even lit
tie foolish, awkward habits, that we grow
into without thought, and that are simply
disagrceable and uncomfortable for
others. Take care how you fasten the
chain that, with all your effort, you
may never be able to break, and that, even
if broken, will leave terrible scars.-Llt-
tie Corporal.

The Garden-HCse.

Yesterday Park street man thought he
would use his garden-hose. In fact, this
is thought which strikes him regularly
three times day, and his neighbors reck-
on he has lowered the Leicester Reservoir
eleven inches himself, since April 1st So
he got his hose and screwed it together,
and put piece of paper around the pipe
to keep it from leaking, and Bridget turn
ed on the water for him, and as he squirt
ed away calmly at a post on :he opposite
side of the street, Il gratitied smile rose on
his manly features, like the glow of Il
pumpkin pie just ont of the oven. And
he didn't wet himself much either,-only
one boot, and his false wristbands By
and by his wife called him in to supper,
and he left his hose squirting over the
lawn SO as not to lose any time, and went
right in His four-year-old son stayed
behind and took up the hose and began to
play at that post across the street, and
squirted the water all over Deacon Bur
chell, who happened To be going by on
the nearest sidewalk. Then the Deacon
set up Il yell like nitro glycerine eNplo-
sion, and the father came out of his house
and went for that boy, and the four-year-
old calmly turned the hose full upon the
author of his being, and that man almost
Immediately became wettcr than the
author of anybody's being has been since
the DAYS of Noah. The water struck his
clean shirt bosom and meandered silently
but speedily down into his boot-legs, and
the pockets of his new summer suit filled
up, and the hair oil all came out of his
head and ran down the back of his neck,
and the only thing about him that was not
cool was the words that came out of his
mouth lie is now dry, but that four
ycar-Old received Il lesson in logic last

whole congregation! What shall we

dos"
The lecture. however, was an interest
ing one, and soon everybody forgot about
Emma, who, with clasped hands and
beating heart, sat and watched in a per-
feet agony how the green rosette on ton
of the new bonnet kept tipping more and
more on one side. Now, the church in
which this happened was very old
fashioned one, and had high pew doors,
which were fastened shut by a little wooden
button. Rosie had not unfortunately for
her) turned the button entirely around,
and as she leaned more and more heavily
against the door, it suddenly gave way,
and out rolled Rosie and the new bonnet
and the two footstools and three or four
hymn-books in confused heap in the
middle of the aisle. Emma gave a sup
pressed Shrek; and, / think, poor bash
full Tom would have died on the spot had
he been there, for Rosie was in the mid
of dream when she fell, and she called
out in perfectly distinct tone of voice,
tom, stop pushing mer' Then she sud
denly awoke to the horrors of the situa-
ton, and, think, in her dismay she
would never have dared to move from the
spot; but old Deacon White came
out of his pew, and after gravely
looking at her for moment
through his spectacles, as though he
thought her a curiosity of some sort, took
her hand, and with a slow and measured
tread led her out into the vestibule, where
Mary and Emma were already waiting for
her. OH how little Rosie thought about
her bonnet then! She and Emma sobbed
in unison all the way home, their feelings
not being at all soothed by remark
which Mary made at regular intervals, to
the effect that she never would show her
IA tn hnfr, to fhn
last day of her life.
You can imagine the surprise of their
mother when the two little girls made
their appearance, and Rosie flew to hide
her ar-stained face in the folds of her
mothers dress, while Emma, between her
sObs, related the events of the evening.
Tom, who had come to the door to hear
what was going ON, listened with half
smile on his face, which seemed to say,
Il always thought something like this
would happen; but when Emma recount
ed Rosie's remark as she rolled out on
the floor, Tom exchanged his smile for
look of utter misery. He blushed up to
the roots of his hair, and in the most pa
thetic tone of voice remarked: swell, L
give up now" Rosie laughed little
nervous laugh at this, even in the midst
of her trouble; but in an instant the tears
came again, and her mother, taking her
hand, went quietly upstairs with her, mo-
tioning to the other children not to fol
low. 1 think that Mrs. Sewell said very
little to poor Rosie; she saw that the im-
preston made had been deep one, and
certainly no little girl was ever more
thoroughly cured of fault and 1 do not
believe, if she lives to be the very oldest
of old women, she will ever forget her ad-
ventures that evening in the new bonnet.

This unique trophy the officers took away

brightest ornament.
Slowly the mind of C. opened to the
full beauty and completely of the arrange
ment indicated above. The mans too ex-
plicable skill as a locksmith, united to his
unimpeachable life and amiable character,
had given him access everywhere. He
had literally had the run of every body's
penetralia for three years. To most of
the locks he had mendcd he had fixed
skeleton keys, and in one or two houses
he had oftenest visited some window was
found supplied with an ingenious con-
trivance which enabled the artist, by the
insertion of a case-knife and the pressure
of a spring, silently to remove the sash
entire, and to enter at will. 1t was awe
some to think of the range Mr.. Herrick
Htu HILL LII tHc expires O1lce Dy night,
in the postoffice at all hours of the day,
in the best chamber, the back-shop, the
wine cellar-where not? The ladies who
had trusted him so implicitly were seized
with strong retrospective terror, and saw
his fine face in every dark corner for
many months. The injured father and
son were restored to the pOst-office with
the next change in the Administration,
and the eXpressman was doubly lowered
with the confidence and commissions of
the community, but Mr.. Herrick, after the
November night when he literally van
ished in smoke, was seen in the flesh no
more.
1t is needless to say that a man of his
wit never jumped out of fourth-story
window. He had only to hide aaroitly
among the packing-cas of which the
factory was full-perhaps in the very
room in which he was so valiantly guard
ed-and then depart at leisure after the
search for him had been abandoned. A
legend there was that man in a tweed
coat, with an open face and simple, at
tractive manners, was observed next day
upon one of the northern railway trains,
but no more authentic trace of Mr.. Her
rick was ever obtained. A certain mys-
terry also involved the proceedings of the
men who came to arrest him. The fact
that no effort had ever been made to dis
pose of any one of the stolen articles in
the neighborhood seemed to point to dis
tant accomplices, and there have not been
wanting those who believed that the self
styled officers of justice were of the num-
Der. In any case there is a good reason
to suppose that Mr.. Herrick may yet be
in other parts his original and
highly cultivated gifts.-Boston Adcer-

The Advantage of Experience.

WHEN the train draws up at Stamford,
five minutes for refreshments, it is easy to
distinguish the experienced traveller from
the rest He has already got out on the
platform, and is either on the bottom step,
or close enough to it. Just as soon as the
speed of the train becomes less than he
can make, he springs off, and dashes mad
ly for the saloon door, through it and up
to the counter, giving his order for coffee
while moving, and snatching up the right
article the first time. He knows just how
much time is required TO make five
minutes, and when it is expired he is out
on the platform picking his teeth, and
talking about real estate. Alas, for the in
experienced traveller, such is not his re-
cord. He is inside the car when it stops,
with twenty persons ahead of him. He
jumps down on the platform in time to
see the mass surging into the door, and
then it suddenly strikes him that he may
be too late, and under this inspiration he
throws himself into the struggling gang.
He doesn't reach the table. He and the
other inexperienced travellers form the
outside line, and shout their orders
through the openings, and receive what is
handed them with thankfulness and what
dexterity they can muster. Such a man
will perspirc and choke, and paw, and
jaw during the entire five minutes, and in
that time may get down two-thirds of IA
sandwich, one-third of a piece of custard
pie, and more or less of the coffee, and
then get out of the door just in time to
catch hold of the car rail, and be pulled
on by the brakeman. And when lie has
reached his seat and is scraping the rest
of that pie from his boot, and drawing
cold air into his throat to allay the pain
of the scald, he will think up things
about the keeper of that restaurant that
would make the hair on a saw-horse stand
straight ON end.-Danbury Neaos.

SPARE THE HORSE.

o. Transfer spare that horse
How hard he tries 10 go.
There's load enough for two.
Don't strike another blow.
Give him a helping hand
Or ease the load. pray,
And he your kindness will
A thousand-fold repay.
How patiently he tolls.
All through the heat and cold,
A faithful servant still,
Though wearied. worn. and old.
Poor. dumb, unconscious brute,
And yet he seems to know
Caressing oft the hand
That deals the cruel blow
What an imploring look,
And what a knowing eye
And yet without the power
To utter cen a cry
See how he writhes and shakes
While smarting with the pain.
oh. cruel driver, pause!
Don't strike the brute again
Humanity at last,
Brought TO sense of shame,
Will punish those who give
Unnecessary pain
Oh driver. spare that horse.
How hard he tries to go;
There's load enough for two.
