In THE PEEITENriARY, WHERE HE BELONGS
A: Charles Luce, formerly Chief OF police of
Utica, NY, was taken TO the Onondaga county
penltentiary last week to serve six months, on
conviction OF practising eXtortlon. Toe thirty
eight years OF Luce's life have been eventfGl.
He has been printer, publisher, the head OF
the police department, swindier and a black
mailer, and all In rapid succession. Among his
recent exploits was the theft of twenty-five
cent picture from photographers room, with
Whlcn Is connected story. A woman In Utica
became jealous OF her husband, and hired Luce
TO shadow him. Luce concluded that 1t would
be necessary to have photograph of some
woman which he might take to the wife at the
proper time as that Of the object OF her hus-
bands attentions. Hence the theft. The pic
ture stolen was that OF one of the most respect
able young ladies In Utica. Luckily the facts
were discovered Ia time to prevent the disgrace
to'which an innocent girl would have been sub
Jected. The offence on which he was sentences
was that OF charging that certain merchants
store was being robbed nightly. The merchant
gave Luce dollar to tell him who the thief
was, and was told that 1t was his own brother
Luce subsequently obtained $40 Of the man as
hush money, to stop threatened publication.

The TPue Ring.

DIR, Blackburn, the yellow fever
hero, was inaugurated Governor of
Kentucky on the I'd instant. From
his inaugural address we make the
following extract, which has the
true patriotic ring about it;
Ours will undoubtedly proveto be
the best government ever known i'm
ancient or modern times if both our
Federal and State governments will
strictly confine themselves to their
constitutional powers and functions.
The child perhaps Is now born who
will live to see more than 100000
600 of people iuhabiting our present
extensive territory, and it would
surely be extreme folly to suppose
that our Federal Government, alone
and by itself, would be adequate to
the wants and desires of such an inn
mense multitude, occupying such a
vast area of territory as ours. Let
us uphold in its entire integrity that
beautiful and grand system of gov
ernment bequeathed to us by the
fathers of the Constitution, by such
illustrious men as Washington,
Hamilton, Jefferson, Adams, Madi-
son and other patriot cOnfreres, and
the day will come when the star
spangled banner will float over the
happy homes of five hundred MIL
lions of free and liberty-loVing peo-
pie. Let US hope that the people of
the various States, bound together
by so many ties of interest, will cul-
tivate feelings of social amity and
friendship, and that they will
believe and remember that the en-
terprise and prosperity of a single
State adds to the prosperity Of all,
and the time is at hand when all of
us, north and south, east and west,
will turn with scOrn, contempt and
loathing from those political, bla-
tant tricksters, from whatever sec
tiOn they may come, who, for their
upholy ana selfish ends, continually
endeavor to excite sectional bitter
ness and hate. They remind US of
hyenas who disinteF and feed upon
the bodies Of the dead.

RiIlsboro CTexasl Reporter.

Some two hundred years ago,
Baron Won Zollicoffer, one of the
richest mobiles of Switzerland, di-
vided his immense landed estate
between his four sons, with a per-
petual entailment In each branch to
his Oldest male heir. The sole rep
.resentative of one branch Is Col. 4.
G. Zollicoffer, who lives in the east
ern part of this county. His cousin,
Gen, Felix Zollicoffer, who was
killed at Fishing Creek the first
year of the war, was the oldest rep
resentative, but left no male heir,
and the entailment descended to
Col. ZoilicOffer. He and his son are
the only mail representatives of his
branch Of the family, of which fact
he only became aware six or eight
months ago. The income has been
accommodating for five years, and
now amounts to a large sum. Col.
Zollicoffer is one of our best known
and most highly esteemed citizens.
He has forwarded the necessary
papers, and has been informed there
will be no difficulty about establish
ing his claim:

the ancient maiden was sleeping,

not to awaken his wife. The Occu-

maiden. "pll teach you a lesson"

The Howard Association Of Mem
phis, after having battled for the
last two months with the dread de-
stroyer in their midst, find every
dollar in their treasury exhausted,
several hundred sick and GONZALES
cents to be provided for and large
number of nurses to be paid. We
were hopeful i'm the beginning that
with the funds then on hand at the
outbreak of the epidemic we would
be able TO provide and care for the
sick that would be thrown on our
hands, but the fever has continued
to spread, and with two long months
yet before us, leaves no alternative
but to appeal to the charity of the ma
tiOn for substantial aid. The gene
rous people throughout the Union
will not fail TO respond to this call
for help. We feel that we are per-
forming a sacred duty to the impov-
erished and distressed people, among
whom our lot is cast, The bounty
of common people was shOwered
upon US in 1873, and to those same
willing givers we appeal. IL help
is not speedily furnished, we will
be compelled to abandon the work
we have been engaged in, and leave
hundreds to suffer and die for want
of Howard's helping hand.

startling. During the year that
closed with last month not less than
sixteen millions acres of Govern

teen million acres Of new lands
were sold TO settlers. II is estimat-
