ARREST OF MAIL RoBBERs-Op the
evening of the 23i of last November, as
Woodruff & ELnor's stage, on the route
from Wells to Cherry Greek, was ap-
preaching the latter town, 1t was stopped
by four masked men, and the passengers
robbed OF $3.50. The mail bags were
then cut open and the registered pack
ages carried off. At that time four men
were arrested by the officers, Doc. Bell
aud Nose Watkins being two of the num-
Der; but on examination before Justice
Clayton, the evidence was insufficient
20 hold them, and they were discharged
But Uncle Sam was not satisfied with
this proceeding, and detectives were sent
out to Cherry to work up the case and
procure the necessary evidence to bring
the guilty party to justice. We learn
that one OF these detectives entered
Cherry Creek on foot, his breeches
patched with gunny-sacks. and his APP
pearsnce generally indicating q "hard
case" Ho frequented the saloons,
danced at the hurdy-houses, and made
the acquaintance of the rough element
OF Cherry's newly.acquired population,
aud as he seemed to have coin plenty
and to dispense it freely, he became a
great iavorite among the habitues of
Cherry Creeks clover levels" But,
suddenly few mornings ago, without a
word of farewell to his boon companions,
he lit out, to where, no one knew. But
his sudden disappearance seems to have
led certain parties to think they had not
been entertaining IAN angel unawares, !"
and they too thought it best to take a
walk" in different directions. Bot the
net was so skillfully set that no escape
was possible. Last Wednesday morning
George Wilson was arrested here as he
stepped off the Cherry Greek stage, and
about the same time Doc. Bell was ar
rested in Eureka and the "Kid" and an
other party were arrested at Wells for
the robbery of the mails above men,
toned. 1t is pretty certain that testi-
mony enough has been procured against
the parties arrested to secure conviction,
for Uncle Sans detectives never do
things by halves.-[White Pine News.

There is nothing which should
be more frequently impressed
upon the minds of young men
than the importance of steadily
pursuing some one business.
The frequent changing from one
employment to another, is one
of the most common errors COM
mitted. and to it may be traced
more than half the failures of
men IN business, and much of
the discomfort and disappoint-
ment which render life uncom-
Portable, It's a common thing
for a man to be disappointed
with his business, and to desire
to change it for some other
which, it seems to him will prove
a more lucrative employment;
but in nine cases out of ten it is
mistake. Look around you
and you will find among your
acquintances abundant verifica
ton of our assertion. There is
an honest farmer who has toiled
few years, got his farm paid
for, but does not grow rich very
rapidly, as much from lack of
contentment mingled with indus
try as anything, though he is
not aware of it. He hears the
wonderful stories Of California,
and how fortanes may be had
for the trouble of picking them
up; mortgages his farm to raise
money; goes away to the land
of gold, and after many months
of hard toll comes home again
to commence at the bottom of
the hill for a more weary and
less successful climbing upagain-
Mark the men in every commu-
nifty who are notorious for their
ability and equally notorious for
never getting ahead, and you
will find them to be those who
never stick to one business long,
but always forsaking their occu-
patton just when it is beginning
to be profitable. = Scientific

THE Waco Telephone says
that the press of the State and
many of its contributors are un-
animous in the opinion that
legal publications, sales and CT
tations should be published in
some newspaper in or adjoining
the county in which the sale is
made. Rights of parties are
frequently sacrificed by simply
posting notices on the court
house deor.
1t frequently happens that
sherifs and other legal sales
made in Pursuance of written
notices posted on courthouse
doors are unattended save by
spectators who make "a busin-
ess of buying property in this
way and the party at whose in
instance the property is sold;
such parties are generally salts
fed if enough is realized to pay
their claim. Valuable property
is by this means not unfre-
quently sacrificed.

Col SHLEIcHER in his speech
at San Antonio on Monday said:
"The great delusion of the
greenback party that they can
impart value to worthless pieces
of paper, merely by the stamp
of the government and create
wealth..from nothing, has been
done soofteu exploded and
exposed that it is hardly credible
that it should be now revived
for any but a political purpose,
In this we think Mr.. Schleich-
er is eminently correct. The
idea of absolute money and an
abundance of it is a delusion
that is well calculated to take
with unthinking people. 1t is
a phantom that is calculated
to take with people who do not
stop to reason, but who jump
at conclusions.

she says her father beat her. At
