OF all mean swindlss that have dis
graced the country the meanest, not
excepting the cheating by the sale Of
post traderships. is the fraud practiced
upon the colored people by means Of
the Freedmen's Bank in Washington.
Picking a pocket in a crowd, where
every body is in certain sense warned
to look after his money and watch, Is
an honorable proceeding compared
with that Of Obtaining the property OF

false pretenses of friendship and then
deliberately Incorporating TN.

So long as Bristow remains in a
Cameron Cabinet, with the Admins
tration organ throwing around its
threats at halfway friends and weak
kneed conciliators, there is no use in
associaling his name with a reform
movement or any other. An opponent
of corrupt administration does not
usually remain in it as not only con
senting but an acting member. The
man to lead the forces of reform at
time like This must possess enough en-
ergy and courage to at least announce
himself in opposition to the corrupt

Remarkable Family.

HhHe Lgt AioHc
A correspondent writing from
Warren to the Remove Record, re
latcs tho following about remaik
able family.
In my travels, n short time ago
near Catfish, Clarion county, met
Mr.. John G. kissinger, an old gen
tleman eighty years of age, hale and
hearty, who is the father of thirty
four children. Mr.. Kissinger was
twice married--having by his first
wife nineteen children and fifteen by
his second who is still living, aged
forty-four years and weighing 3ij
pounds. In 1884 Mr.. Kissinger lost
nine children in one night, under the
following circumstances. Ho and
his wife were summoned on law
suit, some fifteen miles distant; taxi
ing ono horse they started on th9ir
journey, riding alternately, taking
with them their baby. After finish
ing their business they started on
their homeward trip, but when they
got within four miles of home, n
fearful storm arose, which obliged
them to remain over night ut Mr..
Stoele's, neighbor. This was the
first time since their marriage that
they had ever left their little family
alone. At an early hour in the morn
ing they started for home, but had
not gone far when they were met by
two neighbors, coming in haste to-
ward them, when the horrible tale OF
death was soon told. That night the
house was burned and nothing re-
NAMED of their nine children (the
Oldest being 1G) but few charred
bones. The youngest child by his
first wife, now living is II little girl
eleven years of ago. They lost the
youngest child last spring, aged 4
years. Mr.. Kissinger was born in
Adams county, and moved into Gin
ton county when he was seven years
of age. Clarion county was then a
dense wilderness, game OF every kind
being plenty. Mr. Kissinger, in his
day, was great hunter, and the
writer had the pleasure Of hearing
him relate many interesting adven-
lures which by far outstrip our
genial friend Uncle Jake Hams
mersly. Mr.. Kissinger is surround
ed by plenty and bids fair to live
many years yet. The writer spent a
pleasant part of a day and one night
with the family, and as ! took the
sketch from the old mans lips, the
tears coursed down his furrowed
cheeks. and he said he would gladly
give all he possessed to have the
pleasure of seeing his thirty-four
children all alive. We bid the old
man adieu, with wishes that the
evening of his life might not be SC
heavily clouded as the morning.

A Narrow Escape.
4 Fight for Life wih a Panther.

From the Troy Times.
"A short time ago George Ilinck-
ley, of Conklingville, Saratoga coun-
ty, started to drive from Cornith to
his home. lie had spirited horse,
aud while passing through n strip of
woods the horse suddenly stopped,
snorting furiously, and refused to
proceed. The driver urged him to
go. and finally struck him with n
halter, the strap end of which was
tied to the cutter in order TO prevent
its dropping out and becoming lost.
The horse jumped forward in n
frightened manner, but before ho
had taken three steps huge panther
sprang from behind II low evergreen
olOse by the track and leaped square
into tho cutter. Az il struck the
cutter its forepaws came with great
force against lIinckley's breast, and
with one haul with its powerful nails
the mans clothing was stripped
clean from his skin. Hinckley had
the halter with which no had Just
struck the horse still in his hand and
instinctively hc laid it with all his
might over the head of his fierce as
sailant. BY one of the blows the
bedstall passed over the panther
head. 1t being n slipping moose the
next effort to strike drew tho moose
tight around the panther's neck
Then a desperate hand-to-hand, rs il
were, fight ensued. After u terrible
struggle, during which tho panther
bit Hinckley's right arm through
aud through, ho succeeded in chok-
ing the animal so that it released its
hold. 1t continued, however, strip
ping his clothing and decorating his
flesh with it's sharp claws. When
the panther jumped into tho sleigh
the horse started to run away, and
in making short turn in the road
tho contestants were thrown out.
The moment they struck the earth,
however, they parted company. One
end of the halter being fast to the
cutter aud tho other end tight about
the wild animals 8 neck tho latter was
mercilessly dragged after the flying
steed. The running away of the
horse saved Mr.. Hincklcys life. He
was left by the roadside, whence he
in course Of time found his way to a
habitation. The horse ran till it got
loose from the cutter aud then went
to Conklingvillo, The cutter, badly
shattered, was found halfa mile from
the spot where the panther leapcd

Look Out for the Rocks.

A gentleman crossing the English
Channel stood near the helmsman.
1t was calm and pleasant evening,
and no one dreamed of n possible
danger to their good ship. But n
Tapping of u sail, as If the wind had
shifted, caught the car Of the officer
ON watch, and he sprang at once to
tho wheel, examining closely the
compass.
"You are half q point off the
course he said sharply to the man
ut the wheel. The deviation was
corrected, and the officer returned to
his post.
"iou must steer very accurately,
said the locker on, "whcn only half n
point is so much thought OIL
"Ah. half u point in many places.
might bring us directly on g rocks,
he said.
SO il is in lie Half a point from
strict truthfulness strands us upon
the rocks of falsehood. Half point
from perfect honesty, and We are
steering straight for the rocks of
crime And 80 are all kindred vices.
Tho beginnings arc always small.
No one climbs to summit ut one
bound, but goos up ono little step at
II time. Children think lightly OF
what they call small sins. These
rocks do not look 50 fearful to them.
An Americangentleman was once,
when lad, sailing down East river,
near New York, which was then u
very dangerous channel. He watch
ed the old stcersman with great ins
tcrest, and observed that whenever
he camo near stick of painted wood
he changed his course.
"Why do you turn ont for these
bits of wood :" asked the boy.
Tho old man looked up from un-
der his shaggy brows, too much
taken up with his task to talk, aud
simply growlcd out, "Rocks T.
"Well. would not turn out for
those bits of wood, said the thought
less boy; Il would go right over
them"
The old man replied only by a
look which that boy has not forgot
ten in his manhood. Poor foolish
lad it said, chow little you know
