GOOD SHOT.

AN old Texas cattle man, named
Siebert, having sold his drove in
Chicago for $1,000 cash, had his
steps logged by two sharpers who
followed him from train to train and
took a seat behind him. Just after
the Burlington and Missouri River
train left Burlington at slow speed,
the old man was DOING in his seat,
when one of the thieves reached
over and seized the old mans peck >
et>book from bis side pocket, know
ing just where to place his hand on
it, and the other grabbed tho vaIse
and ran-one toward the front door
and the other for the rear platform
But the old man was too wide
awake. lie drew his pistol and
fired, first at one and then at the
other. One fell in the door Of the
car fatally wounded, and the other
on the platform dead.

A Cur FOR A KISS. james Swee
ny, junk dealer, of No. 50 Charl-
ton street, New York, has been very
Incorporate for some time, and when
intoxicated has violently assaulted
his v II on several occasions. On
Thu. la last he told his wife he
wanted to Kiss her, and as she lifted
her face to his lie drove the blade
of his penknile iQto her throat. For
tn ately it tSof n upward direction
and passed thr 'ugh the lower part Of
the chin into her mouth. She fell
to the floor, the blood pouring from
tie wound, and lha man fled, but was
a'erward csptHged aud taken to the
Wooster Street Station House. The
woman's wound is serious. Sweeney

TEACHING COURAGE.

Courage is vital element of chris
tan chiyalry. Without it, indeed,
neither truth nor fidelity to promise
can be hoped for. The crowd is
sure to lie when truth means punish
ment, and sure to retreat from his
engagement when they involve peril.
We need not valiant souls that have
learned to endure and scorn pain,
and to face danger fearlessly and
! promptly when duty requires Some
| parents eyade the vital part Of train
ing by CLOSES aud deception. A
mother who has taken her boy to the
dentist'O to get tooth out, will often
say, if he is shrinking, "oit still my
boy, it won't hurt you" Now she
knows it will hurt him, but thinks if
she can only get him by this device
TO sit still and let the dentist get hold
of the tooth, then his discovery of
the pain will not hinder its extrica-
ton. This is a double mistake. 1t
destroys her boys confidence in her,
for he detects her in a lie. And
though it gets the boy this time, to
sit still, it is under the deluson that
there is to be no pain, whereas he
should be taught to face the pain und
scorn it. This makes the difference
between the coward and heroes. A
regiment Of pol'roons could march
up to a battery as cheerfully as a
regiment Of heroes, if they thought
there was no enemy at the guns. =
The difference is that heroes know
the danger and yet face it vaIantly.

LAPLAND mothers are not in the
habit of staying at home with their
babies. The laps are a very religi
Gus people, and take long journeys
to hear their pastors. AS soon as
the family arrive at the little wooden
church, and the reindeer arc secured,
the father shovels snug little bed
in the snow, and mother wraps the
baby in skins and deposits it therein.
Then the father piles the snow around
il, and the dog is set on guard, while
the parents go decorously into the
chR'ch, Often as many as thirty
babies may be seen laid away in the
snow about a church.

-Hawkinsville Dispatch We
we're the other day speaking with
Mr.. J. S. Willis upon the question
of the purchase of bacon this season,
when he stated that although he had
supplied this year one half as many
more customers on time than he did
last year, he had not SOLD as much
bacon as he did last year, while the
sale of corn had been considerably
less than for many years. Relative
to the sale Of bacon in other places,
we notice from the Sumter nepubli,
can that the receipts of bacon in
Americas from January let to June
LIST, 1875, were l,ll2,000 pounds,
while the receipts for the same time
in 1875 have been but little upward
of 100000 pounds. Even these
figures are startling, but they only
exhibit the purchase of but little
more than half as much as last year.
The sign, after all, may be a good
one.

GUARANTEES OF REFORM.

1t is the good fortune Of the DEM
ocratic party, says the Hagerstown.
Twice a Week, that ii is in posi-
ton to guarantee its promises for
the future by presenting to them a
candidate whose official career has
made him the most conspicuous per-
son to carry out the policy which
they demand What the people
want is reform in methods of admin
istratiou, retrenchment and reduce
ton of taxation, publication Of the
civil service and elevation of the
standard of official life. They not
only want thieves sent to Jail, but
they want thieving to be made diff
cslt. They want an end put to the
system that produces Babcocks,
Shepherds, Dents. Leets, Stock ings,
Murphys, Belknaps, Williamses,
Buffers, Chambers, and all the
knavish crew with whom President
Grant has surrounded himself. -
They want to see in the office Of
President a man who will surround
himself with statesman and with
gentlemen, not with jockeys anc
sharpers.
How Gov. TiIden will fulfill al
these requirements it is easy to see
He has broke up the Tweed ring
probably the most corrupt ring thi'
country has ever seen. He hai
broken up the canal ring. Wher
he lays down his trust as Governor
Of the State of New York all he
dark and noisome places will have
been swept clean. And this is no
all. He has not only removed
abuses, but he has set on foot REFORM
that will perfect the machinery o
administration in all these systems
His record with the reduct o. o
taxation in his own State is striking
enough. In 1874 the State take
amounted to about $4,000, 900; il
1875 to $l4,000,000 and during
the present year they will amount t.
S.. 600, OO0-a reduction of fifty pc
cent in two years After a recor'
like this many burdened tax>paye
will begin to think thatt might b.
an excellent thing TO let MIR. Tildel
try his hand at the budget of FEEDER
al taxation. What men he wouI'
call about him, if he were elected
what men would be chosen to holt
his portfolios, may be easily seel
from his selections as Governor. -
The standards in every department
have risen at Albany, almost entire
ly through his influence. He i
calling about him men of ability, in
tegrity, and, in some cases, of ma
tional distinction. No man whom
Governor Tiden has put in tn
place of counselor has suffered in tn
least from the breath Of scandal o
suspicion. An honest man himself
he will have none but honest meI
about him. With MIR. TiIden a
President, the Cabinet would ceas
to be of the low grade of convic
colony. 1t would go back to tn
days of our fathers, when statesmen
and men of honor were alone deemed
worthy of admittance.

COBB FOR coLoUITT,

The meeting held last Tuesday to
4S1linate delegates to the State con>
yehtion, was attended by an uuus>
ualIy large crowd The people, evi-
IDENTITY, needed our admoni'ion to
turn out and take their own affairs
in their own hands. We were glad
to see them jealous of their own
rights and not slow to maintain
them.
The popular voice of the meeting
was Enthusiastically for Alfred II. Col"
quit for Governor. Whenever his
name was mentioned, deafening
cheers went up, showing that the
current was in his favor. CoIquitt
delegates were elected by ballot, the
following gentlemen composing the
delegation: Col. Geo. N. Lester
Col. j. w. Robertson, DR.. VIM. 2
Harden, and j. r. Humphries.
They are men of intelligence, in
tegrity and frmness, and will repre-
sent the wishes Of the people a
expressed faithfully, having the bes
interests of our county and State a
heart.
Gen. Colqaitt is man of spotles
private and public character, and vi
doubt not will honor the people il
honoring him should he be nomina
ted and elected, which now seems Il
be a loregone conclusion.

found his $50 bill in the bottom of a

ANOTHER LIFE SAVED BY A
BRAVE ENGINEER.
From lie Port Jeryis Gazette.

As train lday express, drawn
by locomotive SO, Charles O. My
gait, engineer, was climbing the
grade between Deposit and the Suns
nit, the engineer espied man walks
ing aheal of The train. He had pre-.
viously been walking on the eastward
bound track, and was seen to cross
over 10 the other, to avoid wild cat
coming east.
Mygatt sounded the whistle, but
with no effect whatever-.the noise
of the passing train drowning the sig
nails Of the approaching one-and
the man kept on his course. Know
ing that at the rate of speed the train
was making between twenty and
thirty miles per hour--it could not
be checked in time to save the poor
mans life, the intrepid enginemau
sprang out of the cab window and
along the running board, reaching
the forward part Of his engine just as
the pilot struck the man and hurled
him backward. With a viSe-like
grip Mygatt seized him and braced
himself for the emergency, while the
train Numbered along at a fearful
rate. Nearly two miles had been
passed over, and still the resolute en-
gineer chung to his charge, which
was relinquished ouly when the train
came to a stand still at Summit sta
ton. The old mans limp form was
borne to the platform, and he was
restored to consciousness.
