A Modern Romance.

Who says that the days of romance
are ended needs to read the strange his
tory of Scottish plowman who has re-
turned to his native heath after long
exile. Twenty years ago farmer IN
Orkney hired young man to do farm
work. The plowman touched the fancy
Of his masters daughter, and the result
was that, in runaway fashion, and in
opposition to the will of the patriarchal
farmer, the two became man and wife.
The old gentleman was furious, and
turned his back determinedly on his
son-in-law. The young plowman Kissed
his wife, left her in her fathers arms
and sailed for Australia, whence he
soon ceased to write. His wife became
a mother, and rename in state of
such wretched suspense that her father
began to repent of the, treatment to
which he had subjected her husband.
Efforts were then made to trace the
whereabouts of the latter by means of
advertining in colonial papers and other
wise, put all to no purpose. He had
gone to America. Years passed. The
grandson grew up to manhood, and, not
liking farm work, babe adieu to Ork-
ney, took ship last year to the United
States, and, after some knocking about,
found employment in mercantile
house in Illinois. In the course of
business he discovered that the gentle
man at the head Of the firm was native
of Scotland, hailing, indeed, from the
same district as himself. Occasional
meetings led to more minute inquiries
as to dates, names Of places, persons
and the like, in the old country, and,
after being six months in the establish
ment, the youth found-however won
derful it may appear-that he was act
ually serving as clerk with no other
than his own father. The effect of this
discovery on both may be left to the
imagination of the reader. Father and
son are now in Scotland. The man
who went away a penniless plowboy,
but returns rich, has been welcomed
with much emotion by his venerable
father-in-law, who is still hale and
hearty, as well as by the wife whom he
left many years ago in her youth and
beauty, but who is now a. middle-aged
matron.-Ne1v York Tribune.

Sincerity of the Press.

There are, indeed, two kinds of mod
ern journals. The newspaper not only
furnishes the news, but comments upon
it. The editorial column is kind of
lay pulpit, from which political and lit
erary and social and scientific discourses
are preached. It has consequently be-
come public mentor. But all mentors
are of two kinds. Those that personally
attend young gentlemen on the grand
tour either seek to show them what is
most interesting, and to use every OPP
portunity to the utmost advantage, or
they are mere panders to the whims and
passions of their pupils. It is SO with
journals. There is one class which aims
to control public opinion, and another
which is satisfied to reflect it: Yet
neither properly sacrifices independ-
ence. The latter does not pretend to
independence. It studies the weather.
cock and guesses how the wind is going
to blow, and speaks accordingly. The
former speaks it's convictions, but it's
convictions are the bond of sympathy
between its readers and itself. It's sin
cerity is the secret of it's success. Mr..
Greeley in founding and conducting a
great paper to prosperity sacrificed no
conviction, and retained his independ-
ence. He was, in fact, his paper, and
no paper was more teacher and lead
er. The principle of the London
Times, on the other hand, is understood
to be mere reflection of the current
opinion for the moment. Whoever is
King, the Times will be Vicar of Bray.
In both these instances the conductors
of the papers honestly do what they
propose to do, and, as an editor is in no
more DANCE, of compromising his indie
pendence than clergyman, he is no
more in that danger than any other
member of a sect or party. Doubt
less, with all men, he is tempted to
swim with the current. The men who
are not swayed by interest, by preju-
dice, by tradition, by sophistry, by the
love of ease and the comfort of conform
ity, are very few. But the conduct of
a newspaper offers no especial trial to
independence, unless man begins by
selling himself to teach and advocate
and enforce what he does not believe.
There are such soldiers of fortune, the
Viscontis, the Sforzas, the Malatestas,
of the press. They have no other con-
yiction than that of the necessity of
making living, and of buying the sue
cess that is counted in money.-Edit-

Name and Office.

Of adding sixteen years and forty thousand
dollars to the service and salary of these eight,
for that is what the third term means, will say
that they are competent men, honest men, and
now experienced men, and that they are worth
more to the State now than they were at first,
or than fresh and inexperienced men would be.
1t ia probably on this theory that the staunch
and sticking eight have 80 often asked and re-
ceived increase of salaries, for there is not one

some time in his long term lobbied through

nearly double what they were when the
staunchest and stickingest of the eight began
to swell them up. Some of them got their
salaries raised in 1878, when all salaries ought
to have been reduced. Gov. Pillsbury ap.
proved of the increase, for the Governor, like
most men long in Office, is 'broad gauge on
expenditures.

come aware that fraud, crookedness or any
perversity exists among men except that which
consists in seeking an Office in which one of the
eight so staunchlY sticks.

appointees of the Governor. The third term

Especial Telegram to the Globe.
W1NoNA, Oct. 3l.-Ania Maria Krudewick
is the full name of the old lady who was SO
brutally murdered in her house on the night of
the 10Th inst, in the town Of Wilson, few
miles from this city. The story Of the murder
has already been briefly told in these despatch
es. The coroner's inquest to-day developed
some additional horrors. It appears that the
murderer approached his victim stealthily as
she was sitting by the kitchen fire reading her
prayer book, and struck her senseless with q
club. Surprising her dead he began to search
for money, of which the old lady had several
hundred dollars. How much he found is not
known, but an empty pocket book, taken from
the old lady's trunk, was found on the floor.
After searching all the rooms he returned to
the kitchen, emptied the contents Of the kero-
sene lamp upon the body of his victim, set it
on fire and fed, locking the front
door after him. His intention was to
conceal the crime by burning the house, but it
seems the poor old lady, who was in her nine
tieth year, was restored to consciousness by the
torture of the flames and CROPPED her way across
quench the fire, and finally crawled to the
back door. where she was found burned to a
crisp. The house, contrary to tho design of
the murderer, did not take fire! The report
that bloody knife and axe were found in the
room, and that the dead hand Of the victim
grasped a mallet, is incorrect. A reward of
$500 has been offered by Sheriff Dill for appre:
hension of the murderer. The deceased leaves
a married daughter living at Money Greek, this
county, and son who lives near Harvard,
Neb. No clue to the murderer, but suspicion
rests upon. a farm laborer at Money Greek, who
had been in the habit. within month past, of
staying over night at small wayside saloon
kept by Mrs. Kru dewick.

4 Sensible Corporation.
lChicago Tribune.I

lCnlCagO IrlDuno.
1t is worthy of public commentator when
greet railroad corporation is found whose
management is SO wise and generous
towards its patrons as to almost disprove the
old adage that "a corporation has no soul. -
Now that SO many roads are manifestine
their greed and rapacity by increasing their
rates on freights, and thus levying heavy
contributions upon the producing classes,
which they are ill able to bear, it is q pleas
ure to record the fact that the Chicago, Mil
waukee & St. Paul company have been
reducing their rates in order that
the farmers along their lines may
be benefited by the good times.
This looks as if the manage.
ment of that road intended to live on good
terms with those upon whom it must ever
chiefly depend for support, that it is not dis
posed to pluck the goose that lays the golden
eggs. This action on the part of the ST..
Paul company is important, because its lines
penetrate some of the best wheat-growing
districts in the United States. The road
carries more wheat during the year than any
other line in the Union. An increase of its
rates, therefore, would signify either loss
to the producers or an advance in the price
of bread to millions of consumers. Mr..
Mitchell has shown his wisdom in refusing
to join the other corporations in their cru
SADIE against labor, and, in the long run, the
generous act must rebound to the credit and
popularity of his company.
