HEsING EXPLAINS.

Ina late issue OF his paper, the Chicago
.StGats-Zsismg, Mr.. Iiesing says: 1.-The
almost general opinion is that the arrest
Of 4. &. IiesiBg. Jacob Rehm and Buffalo
Miller, New Years eve, was entirely
dictated by political motives. IL is deemed
strange that these three mon
should have been accused of completely
in frauds before any of the owners Of the
recently seized distilleries had met with
similar treatment aud when il is borne ia
mind that these three men were The lead
ers OF the peoples party. which gave the
iirst'strohe toward the demolition Of The
Republican party in Cook county and
Illinois. the conclusion i reached that
the only object of the accusation was to |
break down the still-ieared influence of |
these men, and 10 lay them Oh the shelf. |

election"

lffoa the Chicago Tribune, January I.
some months ago the tribune reported
number OF serious eases OF poisoning by
wearing colorcd stockings, which are
just now so fashionable among ladies and
children, and it was shown that deadly
poison lurked in the stripes, and that
even life itself was endangered by Wear
ing these articles. and in instances per-
mancnt injury had resulted from their
Use. The Tribnne, for the information of
the public, had an analysis
made by Professor Mariner. show
ing how dangerous the wearing
has lust come to light II il that of "A
thrcc-year-old child OF Mr.. Collins. let
tcr-carrirr, who lives on the third floor
OF No. 1872 South Clark street. a few

stockings from the store Of leading dry
goods house OH state street tor his little
girl. The child Wore thcm Wednesday
Tor about twelve honr;. when she com
planned greatly oi The pain aud itching
IN her legs. But little was thought OF the
matter, ~ she appeared all right on the
next morning when shu put the stocking,
on again. Size wore them lhlt entire dSy
but complained greatly OF the pain. She
had them on all day, and when they were
taken on her leg, were found to be very
much inilniaed aud swollen. and the skin
was ycllowi,h green, indicating poison
ing by arscnite Of copper. \ reputable
physician was summoned. who 20 pro-
nounccd 1t. and stated that hc Thought
he cause had been the wearing Of the
brown stockings.
one OF the most peculiar features Of
he ease Is that the child scratched her

hand. The poison was carried under the
mails and acted on the face, which also
turned the color of the leg and became
quite inflamcd. giving clear indications
OF arsenical poisoning. II l. thought
that the child having worn tho stockings
IN a hot room somewhat accelerated the
action Of the poison. SHE Is improved IA

Especial to the - Louis Times
WAsuIvGroS. u. c., Jan. Sit will be-
remembered that when the st. Louis
Times stated some months ago that Cen
cral Babcock was seriously implicated by
testimony which had been brought before
the grand jury then In session Mt 81.
Losis. Secretary Bristow came forward
with very plump denial OF the state
mcnt, rcmarl,ing parenthetically that the
| Times probably gave currency to such a
rumor in order to distract attention from
the real offenders whom 1t had up 10 a
! date Just previous excused and defended.
| BADCoCK WAS INDICTED
nevertheless. but far from borrowing
! wisdom from slicn circunl stance, the
| secretary has gone into the denial BUSH
ness again. This time it is to assure the
public that the dispatch printed in the
New \ ork Herdld. from Chicago, TO the
effect that
FRED. AND oEvIl. GRANT
were implicated in the Chicago crooked
ness, /. untrue. Bristow even goes so
far ~ to brand the assertion utterly with
ont foundation and malicious. Perhaps
l,ristow knows, and perhaps he doc-n l.
was told yesterday by gentleman who
assured me he had had a long conyersa-
ton with the secretary, that in spite OF

A TRUTHFUL SKETCH.-Let q man
fail in business, what an effect it has on
hin former creditor Men who have taken
him by the arm laughed and chatted
with him by the hour, shrug their should.
ersI and pass on with cold chow do you
do?" Every trife of a bill is hunted up
and presented that would not have seen
the light for months to come, but for the
misfortunes of the debtor. If it is paid,
we'll and good; if not, the scowl of the
sheriff, perhaps, meats him at the corner.
A man that has never failed knows but
little of human nature.
In prosperity he sails along gently,
waited by favoring smiles and kind words
from everybody. He prides himself on
his name and spotless character, and
makes his boast that he has not an ene-
my in the world. Alas the change
he looks at the world in different light
when reverses come upon him. He hard
ly knows how to move or to do this thing
or the other; there are spies about him,
a writ is ready for his back. To know
what kind of stuff the world is made Of
a person must be unfortunate and stop
paying once in his lifetime. If he has
kind friends, then they are made mani
fest. A failure is a moral seive, it brings
out the wheat and shows the chat. A
man thus learns that words and pre-
tended good will are not and do not con-
stitute real friendship.
The Anderson intelligencer. [volume] (Anderson Court House, S.C.) 1860-1914, 1876-01-27

POPULAR CREED.-I begin to believe,
nowadays, that money makes the man
and dress the gentleman. 1 begin to be-
lieve that those who sin the most during
the week are the most devout on Sum
days. 1 begin TO believe that honesty is
the best policy-to speculate with until
you have gained everybody's confidence,
then line your pockets. begin to be-
lieve in humbugging people out of their
money. 1t is neither stealing nor beg.
ging, and those who are humbugged
have themselves to blame. 1 begin to
believe that man was not made to en-
Joy life, but to keep himself miserable in
the pursuit and possession of riches. 1
begin to believe that the surest remedy
for hard times and tight money mar
ket is an extravagant expenditure on the
part of the individual-to keep money
moving. l begin to believe that none
but knaves are qualified to hold office
under the Government, with the excep-
ton of few natural born fools and lu-
natics. 1 begin to believe that q piano
forte is more necessary in n family than
bread and meat.
