ceeded in blowing each others heads
off the other day in their duel it would,
like that of the Scotchman in the story,
have been perhaps sad loss to the
chivalric duelists individually, but its
effect upon the community at large
might have been salutary. Young gen.
tlemen of a fast turn OF mind are easily
produced in this country, but the crea-
tion of a healthy public sentiment on the
subject of the semi-barbarous custom
of dueling has unfortunately been slow
to develop itself. 1t was generally
thought to be about obsolete in this
country, except among fools, but this
unfortunate meeting seems likely to
give 1t another shert lease of quasi re-
spectability among underdone blue
bloods.

"RIKDIE,S,, SELF-SONG.

From that GLAD moment when
The brittle shell their Birdie" burst,
Safe ushered into life, since then
The parents fond hopes hurst
,. Ofhow, some day, in song
Their little BRIDES" piping throat
Would swell, producing sweet and long,
Full many thrilling note;
OF when, from branch to branch,
His body, borne on spread wing-satl,
Like fairy boat, would lightly launch
Onwave ETHEREAL;
OF when the full -nedged breast
Would brighten, hued with stripe and 3peck
Plumed comely be the nodding crest.
And smoothed the slop,ng neck
ButvaIn't hopes to cherish,
The future to fulfill may fail;
Or prospect visions fair to perish
! When lifted is theVel,'
| For promises were rife,
And "Bifdie's" pInionsieathered full,
When came the Autumn-time OF life
AND turned it's ardor cool.
Earth's world grew drear anu dark,
And, boru to sing happier song than its,
The restless soul, to leayeits prison
Around its home-branch fits
Till, after tri1ing trials, 49,.
Wings it in flight, through chilly skies
10 where the sun perpetual smiles,
In Spirit-Paradi5e.
Yet does the little "Bird"
At seasons draw in foudness near,
To whisper many hopeful word ..
And message sweet of cheer.
And, beautiful and blest,
He builds in one Of Heavens groYes,
On tree eternal, one nice nest
For those he dearest loves

mation from itt-upons which their own
opinions are formed, and greatly in pro-
portion to the fidelity with which this
information is given will they be able5to
form correct Judgments. Mr.. Tai
mage, after speaking fairly Of the
duties and responsibilities of a
journalist, remarks that a man
who does not read the news
papers is a greater curiosity than the
big engine in. the Philadelphia EXPOSE
ton. But that part of the sermon
which comes with most force is where
he speaks OF the, class, of matter that
finds place in the columns of newspa-
per, He believed the. greatest trial Of
an editor is a diseased appetite in the
matter of what he will publish.
''But do you SUPPOSE" Mr.. Talmage'
demanded, "that you would have these
things, If people didn't want
themY If there were no runaway
matches or murders or bigamles, eV-
erybody would cry out that the paper
was dull and insipid. People want
moral slush, and that's the reason they
get it. Why, here are three or four COL
umns of splendid editorials, written
with literary Q oquence and precision,
upon subjects moral. scientific, social,
political, and next to it is IN serabie,

first? You give glance at the edito-
rial, yawningly assent that it is well
written, and tnen you go to work and
read every word of the divorce case from
the primer heading down through the
solid nonpareil to the last line at the.
bottom, and then you turn to your wife
and ask her if she's read it. Newspa-

what you want. And ii you demanded

The Detroit Cigar Trade

For the past year druggists Of Detroit
have been sailing into cheap cigars in a
way to amaze everybody but owners OF
cabbage, gardens. 1t was thought a
pretty good thing when a genuine Ha-
vana" was offered for cents, but smok.
ers had not puffed twice before another
druggist offered three tor 10 cents.
From that day to this the price of cigars
has been going down, until the cry OF
boys,"SiX fine Havanas for cents pas
tonishes no one. A Woodward-ayenue
druggist saw that figure yesterday and
discounted it. He hung up a sign OF
"rwelve good cigars for 10 cents" 1t

had TWO dressed hogs on his sleigh, an |
he hitched his team and went in. He
looked at the cigars, shook his head AN 4

A SERMON ON NrwsPAPERs.

Rev. Mr.. Jalmage, last Sunday,
preached sermon on newspapers In
which he expresses seme opinions and
lays down some facts that might very
properly find place with "views and
interviews on journalism" by other gen.
tlemen who have given attention to the
subject. The Reverend Doctor found a
2: "One basket had very good figs, even
like the figs that are frstfripe; and The
other basket had very naughty figs,
which could not be eaten, they were SO
bads'
The speaker said that Jeremiah, who
might very properly be called a journal
ist, was always saying something
startling or suggestive. Jeremiah, Mr..
Talmage then went on to say, was a
very sly prophet, and when he got hold
of the fgs he first went to work eating
out of both baskets, and was shortly en-
abled to say Of one lot that they were
very good, and OF the other that they
were very bad, or in the words Of the
prophet himself, as Mr.. Talmage re-
ported hims
First basket: "Good, very good"
Second basket: ''Bahl very bad"
Mr.. Talmage then went on to shOw
that the newspapers of to-day are found
Just as the prophet found the figs. There
are just two sorts with absolute condi-
tions-the good and the bad. There is
no intermediate status. The one sort
goes into the homes of the virtuous for
the deleetation of elevated tastes, and
the other does not. The one sort the
preacher characterized as an archangel,
and the other as brigand.
These two classes were then shown to
be engaged in terrible battle, and this
battle he admitted to be the battle Of the
world. There is much more in this fig
ure than the casual reader is inclined to
believe. People draw not only opinions
on nearly all topics OF importance trssn

On the night of the 21st, says the
Deadwood Pioneer, Mr.. Rosengarden,
formerly Of Cheyenne, was awakened
by a suspicious noise in the clubhouse
adjoining his dwelling. He immediate
ly arose and found the building, which
he Is in the habit of securing every
night, open. He called, ''who is there, /"
and receiving no reply, fired his revolt
yer. Upon calling the second time and
receiving no answer, he fired again and
then a man appeared. Mr.. r. called
for help, and several parties we're soon
on the ground. The man, who came
from the building in the rear, which
was Il chicken-coop, was shot.
On examination of the premises it
was found that he had killed -four
chickens, and on his person was discov-
cred two pair of stockings belonging to
Mrs. Rosengarden, and one or two
towels. The man gave his name as
Frank Miller, of Chicago, but has been
known around town as Smith. The
ball entered his back and went through
his body.
At the time of going to press, but
little hopes were entertained of his re-
covery. Mr.. Rosengarden surrendered
himself to the officers.

Charles George Masterson was sent
to the P%enitentiary for one year from
Albany county, Wyoming, in February,
1874, for an assault with intent to kill
and murder, after an able defense by
Thomas J. Street, Esq, and served the
full term therein.
On the oath Of this month he was
sent back to the Penitentiary a second
time from the same county, to serve a
term Of another year for the crime of
forgery. the interim between the expira-
ton of the first term and the second
being only about two and u half years.
The great majority of human beings,
If so unfortunate as to be punished for
their misdeeds by the confinement and
disgrace of one term in the Peniten-
tiary, be it eve " short, would strive
to live in such a manner as not to be
liable to endure another, but there are
some Of the human family who seem to
be careless as to whether they are in or
out Of the ~Penitentlary, and too often
prefer the inside. This and other in
stances exemplify the wisdom of a
rule Gov. ]. NJ. Thayer has of late
adopted, which requires that those who
are pardoned any considerable length of
time before the end of the term for
which they were sentenced, must pro-
vide the means Of transporting them
selves out of the Territory, and faith
fully promise to leave 1t and never
return, before they can receive their
pardons, and in consideration therefor,
which results in avoiding the risk of
having to endure the expense of ar
resting, convicting and maintaining
them a second time, and rids the COM
monwealth Of some of the most un
worthy characters as a rule.
