Don't Kiss the Baby.

The promiscuous kissing of children is
a pestilent practice. We use the word adj
visedly, and it Is mild for the occasion.
Murdprous would be the proper word, did
the kissers know the mischief they do.
Yes, madam. murderous and we are
speaking TO you. DO you remember cali
ing on your dear friend Mrs. Brown the
other day. with strip of flannel round
your neck? And when little Flora came
dancing into the room, didn't YOU pounce
upon her demonstratiyely, call her pre-
cious little pet. and kiss her! Then you
serenely proceeded 10 describe the dread
ful sore throat that kept you from pray
er meeting he night before. You had no
design on the dear child's life, we know !;
nevertheless you killed her, Killed her as
surely As if you had fed her with strych-
nine or arsenic. Your caresses were fatal.
Two or three days after the little pet be-
gan To complain Of a sore throat too. The
symptoms grew rapidly alarming, and
when the doctor came the simple word
diphtheria sufliced TO explain them all.
To-day little mound in Greenwood Is
the sole memento of your visit. OF course
the mother does not suspect and does not
dare to suspect, you of any instrumental
ity in her bereavement. She charges It
TO a mysterious Providence. The doctor
says nothing TO disturb the delusion: that
would be impolitic. il not cruel; but to an
outsider he is free to say that the child's
death was due directly to your internal
stupidity. Those are precisely the words;
more forcible than elegant, IL is true; but
who shall say, under the circumstances,
that they are not justifiable! Remember
Evil Is wrought by wan, Of thought
AS well as hy want Of heart"
II would be hard TO tell how much Of
the prevalent sickness and mortality from
diphtheria is due TO such want Of
thought. As rule, adults have the dis
ease In so mild form that they mistake ii
for a simple cold. and a. cold Is not con-
tagious they think nothing of exposing
Others To their breath. or to the greater
danger of labial contact. Taking into
consideration The well established fact that
diphtheria Is usually, If not always. CON-
municated by the direct transplanting of
the malignant vegetation which causes the
disease, the fact that there can be no more
certain means of bringing the contagion To
its favorite soil than the act of kissing, and
the further fact that the custom of kissing
children on all occasions IL all but univer-
sal, IL Is not surprising that, when the dis
ease Is once imported into a community,
il Is very likely 10 become epidemic. IL
would be absurd 10 charge the spread of
diphthcria entirely To the practice of child
kissing. There are other modes of propa-
cation. though ii l. hard 10 conceive of
any more directly suited to the spread OF
tho infection or more general In its opera

same relation that promiscuous hand
shaking formerly did TO the itch. IL were
better 10 avoid the practice. Thr children

Novel Theft.

The cigar dealers in Bnghamton have
lately suffered loss by the depredations OF
a man with an umbrella. His plan was 10
enter the store and ask for cigar. mean
while hanging his umbrella by its hooked
handle on the showcase. When the clerk
handed him box of cigars TO select from
he took one and handed over one, two
or five dollar bill. When the clerk turned
about TO make change the customer
dropped number of cigars into his UNI
brella. took the change and walked out
carelessly drawing the umbrella tips to-
gether, and stepping off as dignitied as an
acting corporal. The man was caught in
the act last SUNDAY, after his movements
had been watched for some weeks, but he
settled the case.-Ncao Fork Times.

Degrading the Character Of the American
Soldier.

from the Louisville Courier-JournaI 7th inst
The time will come, If it is not alread,
here. when Sheridan will incur all the odiun
which hc now deserves for deliberately de.
grading the character of the American soldier
into that Of IN instrument of tyranny and OPP
preston but Gen. Grant. who wa, himself a
soldier, and is now, by virtue of his Office,
Commander-in-C hief Of the forces Of the
United States, cannot escape responsibility for
the degradation of American arms.
The army Of the United States is compare
lively small in proportion to our population
cnd extent of territory, and, confined to its
proper sphere Of action is hardly sufficient for
the protested purposes of its creation and
more recent organization. But events have
proved that il is quite large enough to jeopar-
die the liberties of the people, and to over
throw the institutions and destroy tho free
dom OF separate sections Of the country; and
have proved with equal forcs that there are
those in power who are ready to uso il for such
purposes to accomplish their own ends. In
viewing the present condition O. our country,
the army is the first element Of coasidera-
ton.
1t was the Federal military power that
stitled the popular voice and parnlyZed the
popular arm III Louisiana IN September, and
that drove cut the representatives OF the peo-
ple in January. Gen. Grant has shown his
dispositions: Sheridan Emory and De Trobri-
and have manifested their Willingness. To-
gether they have succeeded in Louisi ma, with
ont oven pretense to regard for State rights
and legislative inviolability. If tho whole army
is imbued with the spirit of these traitors who
rule at New Orleans, Gen. Grant may place
his heel upon the liberties of ths whole
country.
If such is the spirit of the army, then it is
ti.ly represented in New Orleans, and the
shame that others see in its degradation will
he to IL the courted fame of the Haunting
prostitute. 1t, however. our soldiers, whose
ostenslbe business it is to encounter the real
dangers OF Indian warfare and the mghtier
shocks OF organized armies, aspire to true
military distinction among the soldiers Of all
nations. they will have no heart for such work
as that now engaged in by the Lieutenant
General. and will blush with indignant shame
at the degradation Of their comrades in Iouisi-
ana.
Soldiers arc rs Jealous in honor rs they are
Sudden and quick in quarrel. The purpose
10 which the army was put in New Orleans oa
Monday was not honorable, and every true
soldier will feel the sting. Jealousy and re-
sentiment 80 together. and the soldiers of the
United States will learn in time. If they do
no: know it now, that no less parsonage
shsn the present President of the United
States has placed the army in position
which, if acceptable to it. will invoke the
hearty contempt Of every brave man and pat
rjotic citizen

| From the New York S,tn, It'll inst: The
proposition of Gen. Sheridan to settle the
Lonisiana difficulties by having the people
of that State turned over to him to be put to
death at his own pleasure is rather startling.
yet it will not seem SO surprising to those who
know the Generals general character as to
those who have merely read Of his services az
a commanding Off :er in the field. Sheridan
appears to belong to that class of army officers
who regard the military as superior to civil
ians under all circumstances, and who have
little respect for legal restrictions when they
interfere with the power of the military. His
ignorance in regard to the rights Of State
Governments was strikingly shown and mer-
cilessly exposed by Gov. Palmer at the time Of
the killing of Gen. Thomas W. Grosvenor In
Chicago, just after the great fire of 1871.
Gen. Grosvenor was well-known citizen
of Chicago who was fatally shot while pa S.
ing peaceably through the streets for neglect
ing to halt when challenged by an armed
man. Gov. Palmer, in letter to the Attor-
ney General of the State, calling his atten-
ton to the case, said that the facts disclosed
at the coroner's inquest showed that the
young man who fired the fatal shot, stu
dent in the Chicago University, was mem
as the First Regiment of Chicago Volunteers:
and, upon inquiry, he learned to his astonish-
ment that Lieut.. Gen, Sheridan, having been
requested by the Mayor to preserve order in the
city, had assumed to authorize private citi-
zen named Sherman to raise troops ard
organize them into regiment; and that the
latter, holding no authority except that which
Gen. Sheridan had illegally delegated to him,
had actually issued orders to officers OF the
State militia, calling them and their COM
mands into service for the term of seventy
days. OF course Gov. Palmer stoutly pro-
tested against such an unlawful assumption of
authority, saying that "no one will pretend
that the power to raise, organize, and employ
troops, or to call the organized militia OF the
States into service, pertains to the office of
Lieutenant General of the army of the
United States" while it was quite evident
that the Mayor of a city had no power to con-
fer such authority upon him. The Governor
protested in various ways against
Sheridan's unwarrapted assumption of duties
belonging to himself, very much to the aston
ishment Of the L; sntenant General

An Outline of Grants Conspiracy.

| On. Y Herald, 9th
| In Louisiana the case Is bad enough as it is
but suppose that out of these events should
come a collision of the people with the troops
What then? 1t would be collision that
| would arise from popular fury; for the citi-
zens are, it is clear, resolutely resolved against
the resort to violence. 1t would be an out
burst Of popular passion overriding the re-
straints Of better judgment. Therefore it
would not be resistance OF the sort that sud
denly arose in September 1t would not sur
| render a. any formal show Of authority, or in
any spirit of discretion. It would fight
Somebody would be hurt.
Naturally the people who would be most
hurt would be the small force of United
States troops on the spot, compelled to face a
whole population OF resolute and desperate
spirits. The troops would be driven out and
the people would hold the city, Grant
would, thereupon, stake command in person. /"
He would concentrate all the available force
Of the Government and endeayor to take the
city; but he would probably fail, for in sup
port Of the people of New Orleans would i'm
mediately rally, to fight their battles over
again, the whole Of the population Of Missis-
sippi, Alabama, Georgia, Texas and Arkansas,
and the men who once marched under the
Confederate colors. We would be in the
presence ct new rebellion, fomented by the
Executive; ana the President would call on
Congress for troops and money.
Would Congress vote them? There can be
no doubt OF it. Il must be remembered that
this Congress still represents the principles
and the party that the country has repudiated
at the polls, and in the chance of new con-
flict and revived rebellion it would see
the hope of renewed hold on the nation. 1t
would vote the President the hundred thou
sand men he wants, and if within Il year from
this time Grant has command of one hundred
thousand men, the next election for President
will be held at the Greek kalends, or wherever
else his Excellency may please. BY all
means. then, let there be no conflict, for that
is the thing that is most desired by the mill
tary satrapy at the White House. which has
Grant in its hands
