INGERSOLL TALKS BACK.

a few days ago there appeared a letter in
the San Francisco Chronicle from man in
New York by the name of Morris K Jessup,
denying statement made by Bob Ingersoll
concerning an Orphan child that had been
beaten to death in an Orphan Asylum in that
city. Last Sunday the Colonel wrote the
following letter in explanation of the facts:
To the Editor of the Chronice-Sir: The
Chronicle Of the 23d has a card from Morris
K. Jesup, in which he denies that | had a
conversation with the Superintendent of the
Five Points House of Industry. The fact is,
| had the conversation with Jesup himself
He was the President, and | had the talk
with him at his bank on William street, New
York In the report of my lecture | was
made to say that | had talk with the Su-
perintendent. That is mistake. had the
conversation with Mr. Jesup, the President.
Jesup, during the conversation, introduced
me either to the Superintendent or his broth
or, and it was to this man that said what |
did about the children. Mr. Jesup has tried
to make technical truth do the work of
lie. He knows perfectly we'll all about the
conversation and remembers it distinctly
No man forgets the kind of talk he heard on
that occasion. A poor little sick and suffer
ing child, about five years of age, had been
whipped several times while it was suffering
The child had died. The grave had taken
mercy upon this suffering waif. I felt that
an infamous outrage had been committed, |
and l called upon Mr.. Jesup to protest |
against the beating of infants. This is all |
there is about the matter. Mr. Jesup has
made a mean and dishonest statement, with
out in the least surprising Yours, ETC.

The Value of a Dollar.

A silver dollar represents a days work
for the laborer. 1t is given to boy.
He has no idea what it cost or what it is
worth. He would be as likely to give a
dollar as dime for a top or any other
toy. But if the boy has learned to earn
the dimes and dollars by the sweat of his
face, he knows the difference. Hard
work is to him a measure Of values that
can never be rubbed out of his mind.
Let him learn by experience that hun.
dred dollars represents hundred weary
days labor, and it seems great sum Of
money thousand dollars is fortune,
and ten thousand is almost inconceivablc,
for it is far more than he ever expects to
possess When he has earned dollar
he thinks twice before he spends it. He
wants to invest it so as to get the the full
value OF days work for it. 1t is great
wrong to society and to a boy to bring
him up to man S estate without this know
ledge. A fortune at 81 without it is
almost inevitably thrown away. With it
and little capital to start on he will
make his own fortune better thon any
one can make it for him. Hunts Mer-
chants Magazine.

GET EVEN WITH A MATCH

A few days ago Sheriff Rottaken ar
rested one Ben Mccullough, colored
man, and on yesterday the prisoner was
forwarded to Van Buren,, to stand trial
for the offense of having burned the
| GraNford Go~nty Court House this
spring. Ben comes from Washington
County, where he bore the reputation of
being a " bad Niger" He put in an ap-
pearance here few months ago, and,
partly out of sympathy, was employed
by gentleman who had known him
from boyhood, but his pure cusscdness
prevodted him from keeping his situation.
During his residence here he became ac-
quainted with number of colored peo-
pie and at one time, while in converse
ton with a couple whom he had good
reason to regard as his friends, when a
question of grievance imagined to have
been sustained from white people arose,
Ben suggested to them that the best way
to got even was to use a match. Upon
being asked to explain, he told his
friends how he had got even with the
people of Crawford County, by the lib
eral use eta match. From his nara.
tive it appears the colored people of Van
Buren, had applied to the proper author
tiles for the use of the court house for
the purpose of giving ball, which was
refused, and at which refusal they ex-
pressed much indignation, Ben himself
becoming positively angry. In fact, he
stated that he took advantage of dark
night to sprinkle with kerosene the floors
furniture, books and papers of the court
house, and dropping a match where it
would do the most good, or damage, ac-
cording to the two ways Of looking at it,
the building was quickly in bright
sheet of fame, and Ben was even on his
enemy.
This story came to the ears of our eff
Gent Sheriff, and as quick as he could be
found Ben was in Pulaski County Jail,
and Sheriff Winfrey notified of the ar
rest, with request to come down and
have the preliminary examination here,
while the testimony could be readily Sc
cured. Mr.. Winirey was, however, I'M
able to come at once, and at his request
Benjamin was yesterday sent up the
road. 1t is now the inning Of the Craw-
ford County Court, and when it is played
out the probability is that Ben will be
played into Zcb's mansion on the hill,
where matches are unknown and getting
even is a rather uphill business.-L. r.

No Occasion for Alarm,

On Friday night one of the many fam.
lilies which had participated in the Tab
ernacle excursion to Lake Minnetonka
was startled by repeated shrieks proceed
ing from the room occupied by the ser
want girl. AS it happened, she had in
vited a particular friend to atop with her
that particular night, and while one was
enough to get up a commotion in quiet
neighborhood, the united efforts of the
two were enough to loosen the rafters,
and send ice into every blood vessel a.
bout the house. The head of the family,
however, determined to defend his pre-.
misses and help even at the risk OF his
life, and, seizing such firearms as were
within reach, he rushed for the servants
room in the expectation of meeting or
overhauling some stalwalt thief or dan
gerous burglar Arriving at the door,
which shut in the agony, the gentleman
cried out:
open the door, quick! l am here
and will help you
The shrieks died away all at cnce, and
after the lapse of a few moments, his
bowling hand maiden exclaimed:
go away go away it's nothing but
June-bug crawling down my back"
Then the intrepid citizen shoulders d
his gun and went back to bed. leaving
the incident to ditTuse itself gradually

The Court House lncendiary
Ben.McCuIIough Charged with the Crime
HOW IT LEAKED OUT

We find in the Little Rock Gazette OF
Thursday, the following statement of how
the matter leaked out and was fastened
on Mccullough. 1t is due Ben, for us to
say in this connection, that in private
conversation with a gentleman in whom
he has most perfect confidence, he denies
in toto, knowing anything of the burn
ing of the Court House, as we'll as denies
telling any one that he did, or made the
statements charged to him. What the
evidence is and of what character, will
not be known until the Court meets in
September This is serious charge and
no undue prejudice should be allowed to
sway strict justice being done to the pris-
oner as we'll as the State.

recently. and found no trouble in curing
them. My remedy is this Make concen
trated I've into good soap by the usual
rule; take one pail Of the soap to fifty
hogs; put it in kettle, add water and
two pounds OF copperas; boil it; then
add dishwater and milk, or anything to

what the hogs will drink. Place enough
of the mixture while warm for twenty five
hogs to drink. in troughs. in soperate
lot, Just when ready to let the hogs in,
scatter two pounds of soda in the troughs
the object is to have it foaming as the
hogs come to drink. Be sure that every
hog drinks, and II he will not drink, put
him in the hospital; and If you cannot
get him to drink, then knock him in. the
head for he will give the colera to the

continue until the whole are treated. The
next day 60 through with the same
