Truth for EyerybOdy,

Has somebody offended you? Very
well; remember that, if you were of no
consequence, nobody would care enough
for your feelings to offend you. Have
you been slighted2 Never mourn; the
effort required to slight you is SO far a
compliment; for that effort would not
have been made had you been estimated
as beneath its cost.
ar nobody's noticed you, you must be small,
II nobody's sighted you, you must be tall;
II nobody's bowed to you, you must be low;
II fnobody's praised you, you're ugly we know
II nobody's envied you, you're poor elf
II nobody's fsttered you, 6atter yourself"

An Express Car tn Kansas Hobbed
Of s5, 100 How the Job
was Done.

ArcHsoN, Kan, August 13.-One oi
the boldest aud most daring train rob
berries that ever occurred in the West
took place about 1880 o'clock this
morning, about one mile below Win
throp Junction, opposite this city.
As train No. on the Kansas City- ST.
Joseph and Council Bluffs Railroad.
south bound, left Winthrop Junction,
conductor Brown noticed four men get
on the platform between the baggage
car aud the first coach. Not thinking
anything wrong, at the usual time he
left the baggage car and started 10 GO
through the train. The first person
he met were the four men standing on
the platform. As he stepped on the
platform the leader pulled out two re-
volvers, aud holding them on him or
dered him back into the baggage car.
at the same time dir Getting him To hold
mp his hands. As they entered the
car from the dark end, the first man
they met was Griffith, the baggagemsn
aud he was ordered To hold up his
hands, while pistols were held on him.
Mather, who was in the baggage car,
was then reached and given the same
order. Frank Baxter, express agent,
was sitting in a chair in the lighed end
of the car, his bills in his lap. and the
express safe open beside him, busy
with his work. He had not noticed
the scene that was being enacted in
the car. His first knowledge Of dan
ger was revolver thrust in his face,
and he was ordered to hold up his
hands. The leader OF the gang then
stepped up to his safe deliberately
transferred the money, about So, 100,
to a sack they had with them. Con-
ductor Brown was then asked If he had
any money, and he replied he had not.
With their pistols in his face they then
ordered him TO stop the train. and hav-
ing no other alternative, he pulled the
bell rope. AS the train slowed up, the
four men backed out of the car, still
covering the others with their pistols,
and disappeared in the darkness. No
swearing was INDUCED in, and the en-
tire work was done in less than five
minutes. The train was filed with
passengers, but none knew OF the rob-
berry until the robbers had escaped.
The thieves were cool and collected,
showing no signs of timidity, and went
at work like old experienced hands.
None of them we're masked.

The Patent Gate.

A letter from Ypsilanti to the Post
and Tribune, gives some additional
facts about the patent gate business.
The letter says:-"The firm name Of
the company has been Joseph Bickford
& Co., but as the management Of af-
fairs has been very quietly conducted
with the business. It is understood,
however, that Bickford and VIM. Mar
tin have recently sold their right in il,
which was half, to several persons, one
uf whom Is mau residing at Flint
named Perry, who has been engaged
IN similar operations before and is
thoroughly informed in such matters.
Bickford and Martin are old business
men, and are now in partnership in q
loot and shoe store. The feeling is
very great against them. so much so as
to affect their trade. The farmers in
particular, are 80 incensed toward
them they have in circulation n paper,
the signers Of which agree to cease
purchasing goods at their store from
this time forth. The remaining men,
bers OF the company are not so we'll
known 10 the public. To changes in
the management given above have
caused the withdrawal Of all the agents
upon the road, who numbered between
80 and 20, and whose field Of labor ex-
tended as far as Kalamazoo county,
but report says they are TO be put back
in a day or two.
The letter gives several instances
where the agents succeeded in collect
ing sums Of money from farmers using
the gate, aud in one case steps were
taken toward suing the agent for OBJ
tanning money under false pretenses.
The letter says il is believed that sew
eral thousand dollars have been gath
cred in by the company. Combins-
tions are beisg made by the farmers in
all sections OF the country that have
been visited by the gents, 30 stand by
one another defraying the expenses Of
any suit that may arise 90 test the va
iidity Of the claim. The letter closes
as follows:
Good authority says that the gate
was never patented. at least not until
long after ia inventions; but, on the
other hand, the company claim that
\ the patent is genuine, and they are
Justly entitled 90 damages for infringe
mont upon 70. 10 is probable that ths
matter will find its way 10 the courts
/ before long"

LAwLESSNEss IN SOUTH
CAROLINA.
COUNTY. WITH SHOCKING
HEsUITS.
Four Men KILLED and "a Number of
Others wounded.

Special Telegram 20 the Inter ocean.
New YORK, Aug. 13-A difficulty"
occurred at Edgefield, S. c.. yesterday
in which three men. Brooker Toney,
Thomas Booth, and James Booth were
killed, aud seven others wounded, one
of them mortally. The trouble grew
out Of a family feud Of long standing.
foney's brother was killed several
years ago and Toney suspected the
murder was committed by the Booths.
He therefore swore he would kill the
latter on sight. The hostile parties
met to-day. when Toney proceeded 10
carry out his threat. He drew his pis-
tol and fired. killing the two Booths
before he was shot himself. Friends
of both parties were drawn into the
tight, aud about seventeen shots were
fired in all. There was a Democratic
political meeting in progress at the
time about half a mile from the village
Of Edgefeld, in which the shooting oc-
Cured, and Governor Hampton, who
was at the meeting, as soon as he
heard Of the fight, ordered company
OF State troops to the scene. There
was no fighting after the soldiers
reached the spot. Toney killed a ne
gro in Edgefeld a short time ago, but
this does not seem TO have resulted IN
any curtailment of his liberty.
