ROTTEN Oh EES r..

Six years ago the Government ship
ped by rail from Baltimore to. the Pa
cifie Coast one hundred and eighty two
boxes of cheese for the use of the troops
stationed in the Military Division Of
Pacific. The Central Pacific Raj road
Company refused TO deliver it to the
army officers at San Francisco until the
freight charges. amounting to about
$3.50, which they had paid the Union
Pacific Railroad Company, should be
paid them. The Government then
brought suit against the railroad COM
pany for the cheese. or its full value
on the ground that the company could
rot hold 1t against the claim Of the
Government. The suit resulted in a
verdict for the Udited States for the de.
livery of the cheese aud one dollar
damages. The railroad company APP
pealed the case to the Supreme Court
OF the United States, which affirmed
the Judgmsut of the Circuit Court.
The cheese Was then delivered by the
railroad company, but Was SO rotten
and masgotty as to be almost valueless.
The United States again brought suit
for the full value of the cheese, some
$l.2JO. which the company refused to
pay. on the ground that as the Case had
once been presented to the court and
damages awarded. the Government was
barred FROM further proceedings. The
court took this view Of the case. and
last Monday decided that it having
once been settled. the Governmeut had
no further remedy. Thus ends a dis
quite which arose between the Govern
ment aud the railroad company six
years ago about the payment of some
hundred and odd dollars freight on
81. 200 worth of cheese. Meantime the
cheese has spoiled and is unfit for any
use whatever, except some contractor.
who buys it at auction, can dispose of
it to the Indian Bureau as a prime
article for the use Of the Indians.

The ewly-erecied vault aud safe in
the State Treasurer Office are calcu
lated to cast chilling sensa of dis
couragement upon the burglar and the
pick lock. There has been built a
strong cell of solid masonry alongside
of the old safe. and within this cell Is
placed new safe whose sides aud door
are constructed In part Of chilled steel
SO put together as to defy the drill of
the burgarious aud foil even the de.
signs of the most deliberate aud skillfal
of lock openers. This cell or vault is
built from the ground, In one mass of
sandstone; and then the sides and roof
are of massive masonry. This stone
room or cell is lined with thick plates
of iron, aud admission Is gained thereto
by means of yestibule of solid iron
aud dor WHOSE fistenln9s are of the
stoutest OF bolts, all subjected to a
clock work attachment such as Is pro
vided against even the man with the
key aud combination. Tue entire
structure is trebly tire.proof. In the
safe. wuich stands mid say of the vault,
are deposited the gold coin. bonds aud
U. >. Treasury notes belonging to the
State. Yesterday. while We were

stacked III the corner of the vault were
great bags of silver coin. containing in
the aggregate not less than SlUO, 900.
BY this it will to seen that not only Is
the State comfortably provided With
something against "a rainy day, but that
what she has is pretty securely kept
against the designs of the Lwess aud
the maraudiug.

Lost Women.

The following thoughts we commend
to the public: Has it ever occurred to
YOU what a commentary upon our Ciyl-
lizatiOn are those lost women and the at
titude of society towards them?
A little child strayed from its home
inclosure, and the whole community is
on the alert To find the wanderer and
restore it to its mothers arms. What
rejoicing when it is found, what fearful
sympathy, what heartiness OF COngratu-
lations There are no harsh comments
upon tired feet, be they ever so miry.
No reprimand for the sOiled, torn gar
ments, no lack of kisses for the tear
stained face. But let the child be grown
into wOmanhOod let her be led from 1t
by scourge or want; what happens Do
Christian men and women 20 in search
of her? Do they provide all possible
means for her return to her own nation?
DO they receive her with such kindness
and deliCaCy as 10 secure her against
wandering? Far from it. At the first
step she was denounced as lOst-lost .
Each, friends and relatives-we disOwn
YOU: don't ever come TO disgrace us.
Lost, says society ndiferently. How
bad these girls are And loSt-irretriev-
ably lOst-is the prompt verdict OF the
conventional morality, while one and all
unite in boiling every door between her
and morality. All will not these err
ing ones be required at our hands here
after"

Position in Sleep.

A writer 10 the Christian at Work in
sists that position in sleep is OF great i'm
portance. He says;
"The food passes from the stomach at
the right side, hence its passage is facili-
tated by going to sleep on the right side.
Water and other fluids flow equally on a
level, and it requires less power to pro-
pei them on a level than upwards.
"The heart propelS the blood to every
part Of the body at each successive beat,
and it is easy to see that if the body is
placed IN horizontal position the blood
will be sent TO the various parts OF the
system with greater ease, with less eX-
penditure OF power, and more perfectly
than if one portion OF the body were ell
evated above horizontal line
''If one portion of the body is too
low, the blood does not return as read
lily as it is carried thither; hence, there
is an accumulation and diStention, and
pain follows.
Ii q person goes to sleep with the head
but rittle lower than the body, he will
either soon wake up, or will die with
appoplexy before morning, because the
blood could not get back from the brain
as fast rs il was carried to 1t,
"The savage uses a log OF wood or
bunch of leaves, civilized man a pillow,
and if this pillow is too high, there is
not blood enough carried to the brain
and as the brain is nourished and invigo-
rated by the nutriment it receives from
the blood during sleep, it is not fed sui
iicently, and the result is unquiet sleep
during the night, a waking up in weari-
ness, without refreshment, to be followed
by day OF drowSiDess and discomfort,
and general inactivity of both mind and
BODY"

An Income Without Care.

By the combination method OF Operat-
inc in stocks a handsome income can be
secured without care. Capital in any
amount, from $4,000 to $4,000. may be
sued with equal prOportionate success.
By this system Messrs. Lawrence d Co.,
Bankers, y. V, pool the orders OF thou
sands of customers, of various sums,
into one vast amount, and cooperate
them under the most sk;llful manage
ment, dividing profits monthly. Each
shareholder thus obtains all the adIan-
tages of the largest capital and expert
enced skill, and the percentage of pro-
fits is very great; $40 will pay 500 in 80
DAYS; 5000 will return 81 ,S24, or I! per
cent. on the stock, as the market varies.

"NIGGERS."
Romantic, POetical, Tender Mus
ings About EN-.

Lemars. Qowa) Sentinel (Stalwart.)
The ridiculous fancy of Niggersfor the
word "colored," is one OF the strangest
phenomena of the times.
You may kick Niger from New Or
leans to st. Paul and back if you only
call him "colored gentleman.
There is nothing on earth will rile a
Niger quicker or more efectually than
to call him Niger.
The literary Niggers are the worst OF
all.
We get several Niger newspapers in
exchange, and the fellows are talking
about
Colored papers!
The darky editors are talking about
holding convention OF
COlOred papers
Just think OF it,
COlored Papers,
And we read about
COlored Bands,
COlOred Schools,
Colored votes,
And all kinds of cOlored things.
Meaning at the same time Niger pa
pers, Niger bands, etc.
II Sambo, after getting his eye teeth
cut, had insisted on calling himself a
Negro, all right,
But he is nearly as much ashamed, or
at least he gets as mad, when called
Negro as when Dubbed q Niger.
He must be colOred or nothing, though
the word is meaningless.
Colors vary from that Of a frozen pump
kin to that OF brIndle steer.
And ''colOred individual" may be
any tint from yaller dog to black
snake.
Negroes, Mulattoes, Quadroons, and
Octoroons are specific and well-known
names that mean something.
Niger, as a generic name, is short,
expressive and sociable.
There is an aroma of hall-fellow-well-
met and even tenderness in the despised
word,
Niger"
That is dissipated by the Flora Nc
Flimsey affectation "colored."
How many, many millions of us in
our youth have been touched with the
song
"There was an old Niger, and his
name was Uncle Ned
And mOurned over the good old UNI
cle's departure?
The word Niger is immortalized in
thousand songs that awaken kindly and
tender thoughts OF the darkey
The plaintive melodies dwell in our
ears,
And the Niger lives on their sympa-
thet;c strains.
If we were black we would insist on
being called a Niger.

Remedy for Hard Times.

Stop spending so much on fine
clothes, rich food and style. Buy good,
healthy food, cheaper and better cloth
ing; get more real and substantial things
of life every way, and especially stop the
foolish habit OF running after expensive
and qusck doctors or using so much OF
the vile humbug medicine that does you
only harm, and makes the proprietors
rich, but put your trust in the greatest
