NOBLE SENTIMENT,-TheP Paris Kentuckian
SAYS that in 1845, while Tom Marshall was run
ming for Congress against Garrett Davis, he
was conversing with DR.. David Martin in this
CITY, who took him to task for his fickleness:
"Tom," said DR.. NJ, "you're first on one
side of the fence, then on the other, and then
top, and so changeable that neither party is
willing to bet ii which side you will fall, or
how long you will remain. How is it?"
"Well." replied Mr.. Marshall, drawing HIM

that is. Dave. work with might and main

PUBLIC OPINIoN.-The press is regarded as
the reflector of public sentiment, should not
be so in the broadest acceptation of the term.
When paper undertakes to give expressions
to what the public feeling may be on any par
ticuar subject, it ought to strive to reflect pub
lie sentiment correctly. But to say that the
paper must be governed and controlled by the
sentiment of its patrons or the public general
ly, is altogether mistake. It is right to re-
spect public opinion, but where that is wrong
the paper which will not combat it tor the pur-
pose Of correcting error is recreant to its trust
One Of the most important duties of journalism
is to assal error whether it be in an individual
or the whole public, and any apology for honest
effort is in open hostility to that Independent
impartial action which alone makes the press
powerful We do not strive to please, but to
be truthful, impartial and interesting. We are
afraid of the man, the woman, the preacher
the editor or the teacher who merely strives to
please The editor who only strives to please
finds in this excuse deadener to thrught
The minister who strives to please may secure
an increase OF salary; but to please is not to
harrow up the soil so good seeds can hide there
in, take root and bear good fruit. Striving to
please is but greasing the track to editorial
puerility.-Aualanche

A WOMAN BURIED AL1vE.-CHAPMAN-
VILE, Pa, March 4.-Two weeks ago q wo-
man named Martha Cogswell. wife of Anthony
Cogswell, drover, died, as was supposed, in
this village, and was buried. Her husband was
absent at the time. His first knowledge of his
wife's death was on Saturday last, when ne re-
turned home. Almost wild with grief, he in
sisted on her body being exumed, so that he
could see the remains. This was done, and
the coffin was opened in the presence of several
friends To the unutterable horror Of all, the
body had changed its position in the coffin,
showing that Mrs. Coggswell had been buried
while she was in trance. The body was ly-
ing on it's face Evidences of fearful strug-
gle made by the unfortunate woman when she
recovered consciousness in the coffin were Wis
ible. The flesh was torn from one shoulder,
and the shroud was covered with blood. When
Mr.. Coggswell saw what terrible fate his wife
had met he fell senseless across the coffin, and
has been a raving maniac ever since.-N. Y.

THE AFRICANS DOMESTIC AFFECTION
As subject. the African savage has no loyalty;
he pays taxes simply from fear; and so it is
with his religion. But, as with q higher race,
the holy and virtuous sentiment of loyalty il
exalted to the religious sentiment, so the car
dinal virtue of the savage-domestic virtue
extends beyond the limits of life and the visible
world. Among civilized nations we find OK.
amples of maternal and filial love which can.
not be surpassed, but it would be incorrect to
say that with US relations always love one an.
other. In savage life it is very different; the
members of the same family, or even of the
same clan, are united by a strange fidelity. To
others they may be treacherous, dishonest, bar
barous, but to one another they are affection
ate and true. The African loves those who
belong to his family, and this affection does not
perish with the life of those on whom it is be-
slowed When man dies he is often buried
in the house where he was accustomed to dwell.
His relatives do not think of him as worm
eaten body. but as an aerial soul that fits aronnd

set aside something for him to eat. or bowl
of palm wine; for they believe that the food
has soul or essence of which the spirit par
takes while the body of the food decays. just
as the body of the man decays. If you tell an
African that the souls of the dead are far away,
he will shake his head and smile with superior
wisdom, and tell you of visions he has seen in
the night, and of sounds that have fullen on his
ears. Besides, does he not know that the loved
ones are around him? Does he not feel that
that they are there? He suffers not any soi-
tude, for when he has no human companion,
the spirits of the dead are by his side, and he
sings to them of his sorrows and his joys.
Such is the religion of the savage-not the
mercenary worship of the gods-but the love
of his kinsmen that are dead, his faith in their
presence, and his constant communion with
their shades. and his tender offerings-London
Times.

BOGUS MoLAssEs.-Scientifc authorities
have of late directed attention to the fact that
large quantities of bogus and adulterated syr-
ups are being sold for genuine molasses. These
nostrums are said to be largely composed of
sawdust, paper, rags. and starch, chemically
treated with poisonous acids. tits well known
to chemists that sulphuric acid has magical
effect upon woody fibre, such as found in. fax
and cotton. Therefore linen and cotton rags
furnish the most productive source of the prin-
cipal Ingredient of the manufactured syrup.
Rags suitable for the purpose can be bought
from four to six cents per pound, and muriatic
acid is q cheap chemical; 80 the manufacturing
of these articles into marketable syrup cannot
fail to be very profitable enterprise. The de-
lectable compound is made in two large estab-
lishments in New York, and also to great ex.
tent in Chicago, Boston aad New Orleans.
To detect the bogus syrup it is only necessa
ry to use tannin as test; and as there is con-
siderable tannin in ordinary table tea, make Q
strong cup of green or black tea. and pour into
it tea-spoonfal of the suspected molasses
The muriatic acid, if there be any in the molas-
ses will at once unite with the tannin and turn
the tea into black dirty looking liquid that no
one would like to drink even if it were whole
some. 1t will of course be rejected when it is
known to be- poisonous, as it must needs be
when muriatic or sulphuric acid are used in ito
manufacture. .-..
The public is also swindled IN an article of
artificial honey, made of cotton and linen rags
chemically treated with sulphuric acid and
thickened with corn starch. It is said also that
sugar made by boiling down the bogus sugar
syrup is extensively used in the manufacture of
confectionery, and thus the little children are
poisoned with oil of vitriol at time when their
delicate systems can i'll sustain its deleterious
efects.-Lancaster, Pa. Intelligencer.

RECOLLECTIONS OF A DENTISTS
SHoP.-Mark Twain, in his new
book about England, tells how he
had the toothache one night in Lon
don, and gave some pleasing recol-
lections of the dentists shop which
he was wont to patronize when he
lived in Elmira. He says: One night
that tooth did jump, and every time
it raised my head right off the pill
low. How / did lie awake and
think about that dentists shop in
Elmira, where 1 had been under tor
ture SO many times-of those pretty
dental instruments, so polished and
so cold! How 1 did long to lay my
cheek against one of those short,
thick, heavy, twisted chaps, with
the bow-legged, tiuted and curved
handles and short hawkshill jaws!
How ! reveled in delight at the
thought of having such thing
clutch my refractory tooth, and
"yank it!' With what pleasurable
emotions came crowding into my
mind the recollections of that dentist
and his room and its fixtures-his
big easy chair, with the pretty white
curtained window before it, and the
nice, big, red glass spittoon to the
left, with the hole in the bottom, and
the bits of wet cotton and the bright
pieces of gold and streams of blood
stained saliva on the sides. And the
pretty little bureau with the bottles
on the top, and the little yellow
drawers which he jerks out so gent
ly when seeking for some new and
more delicate instrument of torture,
And then the beautiful little round,
velvet-covered stand ON the gas fix
ture, covered with nice drills and
pretty files, and the lovely little
crowbars with the stained ivory ham
dies, and the long steel crochet nee
die with which he hunts for new
cavities, and the little round paste
board box full of gold "plugs," and
the dirty little napkin and the rub
ber ball syringe and the singular
smell of his thumb, and all that!
Oh, how nice!

SUPERSTITION AND BRUTALITY
A terrible crime was committed on
the 10th of August in the town of
Alamenca, IN Peru. The Indians
were celebrating Assumption Day,
and, in order to worthily solemnize
the occasion, they, with the Justice
of the Peace at their head, seized an
unfortunate man named Mariana
Lurcamay, who had the reputation
of being a sorcerer, and dragged
him to the Plaza where they whip
ped him, put him in the stocks, 'cov-
cred him with straw and set it on
fire. After cheering Justify they
left their victim, and went to the
house of the Judge to make merry.
In about two hours they returned,
and finding him still alive, the Judge
seized a knife and saying latter this
operation you will not escape cut
the throat of the poor wretch. They
then returned to their revels. A
traveller passing by had the remains
buried, and informed the Prefect,
and the murderers were soon placed
in prison and will shortly be shot.
This is something like witch burn
ing in New England.

No living soul for us shall weep,

And others then our streets will fill,
And ether words will sing as gay,

A Simple Amusement.

For the amusement of little children
between two and six years of age, a
very simple device is recommended.
Spread on the floor of the playroom
your largest newspaper, take little
stand or table and spread paper on
that also. and then allow the little one
or ones two or three quarts of Indian
meal to play with, letting them pour it
on the table as they like. They will
play snow, and shovel out their paths,
or make drifts and clean off. and they
can put their little toys into the meal
without injury. Their cars can be
blocked up and need to be rescued from
their peril, OF their little people and
animals be nearly buried up in it, and
all sorts Of exciting adventures happen
out Of that meal. OF course, cakes can
be made by filing tins, but it is bette,
not to allow any wetting Of the meal
rs that Injuries it for their plays, and
is cold to the hands of a delicate child
After the allotted hours Of meol time
brush it all into box and put it out
Of sight, in reserve for the next un.
occupied day.
