More sheep and lambs, especially the
latter, have been exported from Nash
vile by rail North this year than ever
before. They sell high, and the State
thus loses breeding animals, which
ought to be retained to increase its

than selling ones seed corn and buying

international Squabble ut Fort

The Helena Independent of
June Oath has the following: "The
citizens of Helena were startled
yesterday evening by information
that the United States troops had
surrounded Fort Benton and ar
rested Messrs. Hardwick, Evans,
Harper, Hale and Debrew, for al
legged completely in killing party
of Assiniboine Indians in the Cy-
press Hills, British Possessions,
some time over two years ago. 1t
is reported that orders were issued
for the arrest of fourteen men, but
Deputy Marshall Hard and the
military succeeded in capturing
only the parties above mentioned.
They will arrive in Helena to-day
or to-.lorrow, and will have an
examination before w. E. Cullen,
United States Commissioner. I'm
der the extradition treaty the pris-
oners will necessarily be brought
to Helena for examination, as they
are arrested at the instigation of
the British authorities for an al
legged crime committed under their
Jurisdiction. 1t is said correspond
ence has been in progress some
time between the authorities of the
Dominion of Canada and the
United States in relation to the
matter. From information obtain
ed, it appears that band of In
dians had stolen some horses be-
longing to these men, and in pur-
suit of them they came upon a
band of Indians whom they sup
posed to be the guilty parties, and
in the fight which ensued thirty or
thirty-fve Indians were killed"

AN NIRRECLAIMABLE BRITISH SAIL
oR.-1he London papers tell a sad
story of that irreclaimable being, the
British Jack Tar. At one of Moody
and Shankey's recent meetings there
was a great " outpouring," and after
the audience had given all necessary
indications of hopeful state of
mind, Mr.. Moody called upon all
those who wished to go to heaven to
rise in their places. One after an
other all the persons present go up
and remained standing save one per-
verse sailor, who obstinately kept
his seat. Fixing this obdurate ma
riner with his eye, Mr.. Moody ad-
dressed him and asked him If it
could be possible he did not wish to
go to heaven also. Yes, your
Honor" responded Jack; 81 wish
to go to heaven" Then why don't
you rise with the rest ?" " Be-
cause" replied Jack, very slowly,
ana surveying the whole company
with scrutinizing glance, /" be-
cause amt going to ship with any
such a looking crew as this!'

How We Teach Morals.

With n superior rcsrrs Of wcll-paid
teachers, who cOnsccrate themselves for
life to their business and have all the
nect ssary appliances, claim that we can
accomplish the neral generation of man
kind by means that have already been
tried and worked successfully.
do not mean by the or dinary appli-
anccs, for they--are notorious failures
We have in common usc four methods of
moral education: |. lIomOlies by text
book and lecture; 2. Good advice; 3,
Scolding; 4. Punishment. These meth
ods are in use every where, and every
where failures. The bad boy hears
the virtues talked about, in homlles
until he is tired of it. He gets good ad-
vice when he is doing right, and dou-
bic dose of g0og advice when he is doing
wrong. But it is very rare TO find any
,sody who would thank yon for good adj
vice, or who is willing to act on it. The
man who really knows how to appreciate
good advice and to act on it is already So
good that 'he does not need 1t. If he de-
sires it, he does not ncc' it; and if he
needs it very badly he does not desire it,
but heartily resents it. The boy rejects
advice with contempt, and receives a lib.
eral supply Of scolding, which makes
him sullcn and SO wicked that for his
next oilense he is whipped and left under
the dcbasing influence OF hatred and fear
This is what might be called immoral ed
ucation; and the best example of this
repressiye system is in our penitentiaries
where men are taken in knavcs, punish
ed, flogged, and turned out malignant
villains to prey on society.
Moral education Is the reverse of this
1t takes in criminals, and turns them
out good citizens by the familiar means
that common-scusc rccommcnds--bN
placing them in moral atmosphere, anC
keeping them in it till their whole natur,
is changed; just as men are made crimi
nails by placing them in a criminals b.
placing them In criminal atmosphere
and keeping them there till they are sat
uratcd with baseness. The same. .amoun
of moral power which can take crimina
youth and elevate them to prc-eminenc
in virtue, 1t is Therefore no exaggeratio
to say that the. schools which have reform
ed criminals dessons trated an amour
of power sufficient for the worlds roger

MORE TRUTH THAN POETRY.

From one who has been to Texas, de-
scribes the State in the following Parody.
Beautiful Texas what do you think?
Plenty Of Grapes, and no wine to drink
Plenty of creeks, and no water at thand
No Oats for your horse, but plenty of
land
Plenty of horses, but none fit to ride,
Plenty of poverty, and some little pride,
Plenty of hides, ami no leather that's
tanned,
Though scabby mosquitoes encumbers the
land
Plenty of cattle, no butter,Or milk,
No dress for the dairy ,bnt plenty of silk,
Plenty of rain, when it comes down at all,
Enough TO spare, would it come at your
call
Plenty of wind, no drawback on that,
And when talking of stock there is plen-
ty OF chat
Plenty of rock, the cisterns to wall.
But we cannot find time to do it all
Plenty Of boisd'arc, hot hardly hedge,
Plenty OF hogs as thin asa wedge
Plenty of bacon, year before last,
Plenty again when there comes good
mast;
Plenty of chairs, but all so low,
That to eat you must hang on you own
elbow
Plenty of grub, such as poor beef and
bacon,
Which reminds you of the home you
sadly forsaken;
o! Land of great promise, not yet full
filled,
What country you might be if people
wilicu
All tccming with beauty, plenty and
wealth,
Every requisite here for comfort and
health;
But with cornbrcad and bacon, men
have enough,
And women set happJ over q bottle Of
snuff.

meanor cases and declaring larceny of
property to the amount Of S25 a misde.
meanor instead Of a felony. This last
named bill, had it become the law, would
have resulted in an immense saving OF
criminal costs, thereby materially redu.
cling the fees of the clerks OF these courts
aud of district attorneys. The bill was
carefully prepared by a Memphis lawyer
Of eminence and really passed both Houses,
but was delayed in the lower House by
means of parliamentary fllibustering Of
the most fragrant and digraceful character
so.that it failed to reach the Governor in

An effort was made by the Legislature
to cut down the salaries OF County Super.

from them the fixed salaries now allowed
them-in no case do they exceed 1925
per annum-and allowing them $500
for each school in their respective districts

telchers. This bill, however, was killed

measure was Logan, of Giles, who, from
the fist day of the session has been found
arrayed on the side of advancement, JUS

the class of men who would be willing to
serve as county school superintendent
"for the honor of the thing" was SO eff
fectively given as to silence Marye on
that point.

REAL ESTATE RASCALITY.
Heavy Speculation in Forged
Deeds-A Startling Conspir-
acy Ramifying Severa l
States.

An important arrest was made yester>
day of portion of gang who have been
engaged for some time past in carrying
on an extensive business in forged deeds.
The operations Of the gang appear to
have extended over different portions of
the State of Illinois and other Western
and Southern States. The mode of oper-
ating the swindle is neat and effective.
The services Of a corrupt or corruptible
N Notary are first secured, and number of
blank deeds drawn up 0nd signed with
aay fictitious name. The regular official
seal Of the Notary is attached and the
document properly filed out with names
of witnesses. A description Of any de &.
sired piece Of property is then inserted
with the name of one Of the swindlers as
the purchaser. This deed thus comple>
ted in regular form is presented for record
at the office of the Recorder in the county
where the described land belongs. The
parties theu offer the property for sale,
giving the deed so recorded as evidence of
title.
Another plan is to take an impression
on sealing wax of the official seal of a
Notary and transfer the impression to any
number of fraudulent deeds, which are
afterward recorded as establishing title.
A tract of 400 acres of land in Cook
county has been sold on fraudulent titles
recently. A portion of this land, situa'
ted in the town of Lake at the corner oI
Fifty-ninth street and Ashland avenue
Is owned by Mr.. Hugh Chittick. AnOth'
er portion is situated in the town of Hyde
Park, and is owned by Geo. w. Hill, j
Y. Scammon, the Chicago Land Company
and others.
Reed was arrested Monday, and il
bis possession was found large Saratoga
trunk filled with forged deeds, some o
which we're blank and others filleC
with descriptions of pieces of land ii
Illinois and other States, besides variou
other papers having reference to sucl
fraudulent sales.
The operations Of the swindlers ar
not confined to any one particular place
but extended to nearly all the principa
cities Of the country. A large busines
is carried on in New York in forged deed
of land in the Western States. Beside
the parties arrested, number of the gan
are still at large, and among them severa
Notaries in the State of Missouri, wher
, the blank deeds are turned out. Messr

largely by reason of the clouds thu
thrown on the titles of their property b

r have been untiring in ferreting out th

A Child Killed by a Dog.

A little girl named Clark, aged four
years, was visiting, Friday afternoon,
with her parents at the house Of Mr..
Joselyn, at Homer, New York. A
daughter of the latter invited her little
visitor to go out to the coop and see her
chickens. They went together, and as
they we're passing through the wood house
were joined by a large dog belonging to
Mr.. Joselyn. Arriving at the henhouse
the daughter Of Mr.. JOselyI opened the
door and passed in. The little Clark
girl, attempting to follow, was set upon
by the dog, which so frightened the Jose>
lyn girl that she closed the door of the
henhouse. The screams of the girl at
length reached the ears Of the inmates o!
the house, who came running to her as
sistance. When they reached the spot
the dog had his teeth fastened in the
child's right arm, and was shaking furi'
ously. She was rescued, but was horri'
bly, mangled. One ear was bitten of
the right cheek bitten out, anda portion
of the scalp torn of. Besides thest
wounds, both arms were terribly mutilla
ted. Everything was done to relieve thu
exoruciating sutferings of the unfortunate
child during the night, aud in the NOR
ming death morcifully put an end to them
