The GLOBE, in its character of narretor of
transporting public events, duly chronicled
the insurance fight between Mahlon D.
Miller and the State Association of Under
writer's. The chronicle ran that Miller
rather held his own against the odds. And
the effect has been to bring down the insur-
ance rates here with us in st. Paul. The
fight hasn't been confined alone to our COM
munity. Miller's break has induced other
agents in outside towns to kick over the
traces. The State association has acted the
part of whipper-in with great persstency.
The last kicker is E. M. Pope, of Mankato.
That city was visited during the past week
by Judge Ames, of Minneapolis, president Of
the association, II. j.. Moss, one of the ex-
ecutive committee, and Robert Dugan, sec
rotary, of St. Paul, tc persuade or induce Mr..

SHEENY GEORGE.

He Squeals on His Murderous Pals in
Chicago. .. :
y, For two days the trial of John Lamb for the
murder of Officer Race, of the Chicago police
force, on last October 4th, has been in progress.
friday, st. PauIs captive, George Freeman,
alias Sheeny George, was the stand. He
proved a trump card and was played for the
prosecution to the full extent of verv annie
confession on his part The Chicago Times. in
It's report Of the proceedings and testimony,
says that his ascent to the witness
oo1 created decided sensation, and that his
testimony created very evident impression of
Its truth. He made full confession. He be-
gan his story at the beginning, related how the
burglary was designed and planned and en-
tered into details of the execution. The means
used to procure wagon was stated;
inc parties to the whole affair were
named. Philo Durfee. Johnny Lamb, Charles
Dennis. James Griffin, James Driscoll
and the Sheeny himself were the parties who
cencocted it, and Freiberg, the State street
pawn broker, where the murder occurred, had
arranged to receive the plumber. The burg
larry was committed; Charles Dennis and Philo
Durfee entered the building, Jaffray's store.
The others remained on watch, the Sheeny he
ing stationed at the front door. While on the
watch, one of Pinkerton's night watchmen
came up to him, Sheeny being seated in the
doorway, but said nothing. Johnny Lamb be.
CAME impatlenL az the long time Durfee and
Dennis were inside, twice went away and load
ed up with drink. Finally Sheeny went in
side aud helped the others out, with their
llunder, silks. etc. The whole gang repaired
to Freiberg's John Lamb and Griffin were in
the wagon, when the shot which killed officer
Race fred. John. Lamb wore
black moustache that night. Other witnesses
have stated such man fired the fatal shot.
Sheeny relates his advent in st. Paul, but is
not particularly questioned regarding his cap
ture. In brief, his story is complete give
away to all his companions. One very notice
able answer is given to a question as to Philo
Durfee's whereabouts. Sheeney states he is in
the penitentiary at Columbus, o. Philo Durfee
is the only one of the gang at large-and all
the detective skill of the Chicago force has
been employed to run him down. Yet nothing
was known of his locality until this witness
Informed the authorities on the witness stand.
Sheeny declares he didn't see the deadly shot
tired, as he was few feet away, and
Immediately fled upon hearing the report. But
the Inference and presumption, without
Large margin for a doubt, is that Lamb, the
man on trial is the murderer.
Lamb is defended by Col. Van Arnam, the
| celebrated criminal lawyer but the evidence
against his client, SO far, seems insurmounta-
BILE. From this criminal trial, an insight has
been thrown upon the life, modes and manners
OF thugs, thieves and murderers in Chicago,
which is perfectly appalling.

SHOTGUN Accidents.

Each recurrence of the hunting season
brings with it the painful chapter of ac-
cidcHts from careless handling of shot
guns, the sad accounts of which the news.
papers almost daily present to US. 1t
will be found upon investigation that
in large majority Of instances the acci-
dents occurred when the hammer is car
ried down upon the cap--a dangerous
habit against which boys cannot be too
earnestly warned. The hammer should
always be carried at half.cock, as will be
readily perceived by taking the gun in
hand and rejecting a moment. When
the hammer is OIL The cap any sudden
force applied to the hammer will ex.
plode the cap; or if the hammer should
be caught and pulled back not quite to
the half:cock the hammer will fall back
with sufficient force to explode the cap.
On the other hand when the gun is at
half.cock the loci, would be broken be-
fore the hammer could be borne down
upon the cap by any force applied to it..
IF the hammer should be caught in any
thing and drawn back not quite to the
full. cock, the hammer will then catch at
the half.cock but even if it should be
BIZ accident drawn back to the full.cock
then 10 explode the gun trigger would
have to be pulled and this is prevented
by the trigger guard.
Boys prefer to carry their guns with
the hammers dcwn upon the caps, be-
cause they are afraid of losing the cap at
the propitiuus moment, and no amount
of lecturiug will cure them of the habit
AS long as the CAUSE exists. Parents,
therefore, when cnjoininS upon their
sous the safety of carrying the hammer
at the half.cock should urge upon them
the importance of having the cap fit the
tube securely, so that the temptation to
carry the hammer dawn upon the cap
may be removed. We know youth
whose life was preserved by obeying his
father in the above particular. The boy
was walking upon log which had been
thrown over wet place in the road,
when the gun slipped from his hand and
fell, both hammers striking against the
log with great violence, while the muzzle
of the gun rested above the region of
the boys heart. The hammers were very
much bent, and if they had been down
upon the caps, from the violence Of the
blow and the position Of the muzzle,
both loads mus: have been discharged
into his body.
The introduction of the brecch.loadcr
will tend greatly to diminish the num-
Der of such accidents on account of its
greater safety, and when within the
| means of parents should be boug ht in
preference to the old d-fashioned and more
dangerous muzzle. loaders.-MoyoN Nr-

How They Vote in Canada.

Each polling place has to be divided
into two apartments, either by an or
diuary partition or by q screen. In the
outer of these, where the ballot box is
kept, will be the presiding officer, his
clerk, and the certified representatives
of the candidates. No others will be let
into this apartment except the voters,
and they will only he admitted one at a
time by the constable, by whom the door
of the polling place is guarded. One
voter must be disposed of and retire
from the polling place before another is
admitted. Upon the voter presenting
himself to the presiding officer, the lat
ter will look over the list, and if his
name is found upon it, he will have the
right to vote, subject to challenge from
the certified representatives Of The candi-
dates present. The voter will then be
furnished BY tie presiding officer with a
ballot, on which the presiding officer
will place his initials. and on the coun-
terfoil attached to it he will place the
number of the ballot, which number
shall be the same rs the number of the
voters name on the voting list in the
clerks book. The ballot will contain in
alphabetical order the names of all the
candidates. On receiving it the voter
will be requested by the presiding officer
to retire to the inner apartment, or be-
hind the screen, and there make cross
in pencil opposite the name Of the cand-
idate or candidates for whom he wishes
to vote. Should thcEoter he illiterate,
the presiding officer aud the representa-
tives, who have previously been sworn
10 secrecy, will retire with the voter,
who will then be asked for whom he
wishes to vote. and tn presiding officer
will mark, in the presence of the repre-
sentatives, the ballot as designated by
the voter. The voter on returning to the
outer room will prest nj his ballot to the
presiding officer. folded in such a way
that the latter can see his initials upon
it, and see that the number on tie coun-
terfoil agrees with the number on the
ballot. On finding that the numbers
agree, and that it is the same ballot
which he gave the voter, the presiding
officer will tear off and destroy the coun-
terfoil and place the ballot in the box.
The voter will then retire and another
voter will be admitted to vote.

4 Fearful Risk for Girls.

The pastor of n church in one Of our
large cities said 10 ME moi long ago 81
have officiatcd at forty weddings since !
came here, and in every case, save one,
have felt that the bride was running an
awful risk. Young men of bad habits
and fast tendencies never marry girls OF
their own sort, bnt demand wife above
suspicion. So, pure, sweet, women, kept
from the touch of evil through the years
of their girlhood. give themselves, with
all their costly dover of womanhood, into
the keeping of men who, in base associ-
alions, have learned TO undervalue all
that belongs to them and then find no
repentance in the after years. There is
but one way out of this that can see,
and that is for you--the young women OF
the countrv-to require in association and
marriage purity for purity, sobriety for
snbriety, and honor for honor. There is
no reason why the young men of this
Christian LAND should not be as virtuous
rs its women, and if the loss Of society
and love be the price they are to pay for
vice, they will not pay it. admit with
sadness that nat all our young women are
capable of this high standard for them
selves or others, but believe there are
earnest, thoughtful girls in the society OF
our country to work wonders if faithfully
aroused. Dear girls, will you help us in
the name ofChrist? Will you, first ofall,
be true to yourselves and God, so pure in
your inner and outer life that you shall
have a right To ask that the young man
with whom you marry shall be the same?
The awful gulf of dishonor is close beside
your feet, and in it fathers, brothers, low
ers, and sons are going down. Will you
help us in our great work I?

Small Farms.

1t is an interesting question whether
this country would not be richer and
more powerful if the population were
concentrated in the original thirteen
colonies, leaving all the vast domain west
of the Alleghanies TO the Indians and
buffalo that once possessed them. The
concentration would certainly insure a
more thorough cultivation of the soil, and
save US the enormous waste of the time
and energy now expended in traversing
n domain three thousand miles across.
The expansion of our population over the
vast area embraced within the Atlantic
and Pacific Oceans, tile British boundary
and the Gulf of Mexico, forces upon us
the habit OF owning large farms and the
vice of slovenly cultivation. That these
are injurious both to individuals and TO
the country is sufficiently proved by the
successive failures of the baronical farm
ers of Illinois, who one by one, have been
reduced to bankruptcy during the last ten
years. Large farming in this country,
even with the mid of improved agricultural
machinery and implements,is dangerous
business and it generally ends, in disaster.
There are few men who make fortunes on
large farms; they generally make their
fortunes, or the beginnings of them, on
small farms, and lose them on large ones.
1t has been stated that the sub division
of France into small farms, which thor
oughly titled, are capable of supporting
large population, is the real secret Of
that phenomena ofcxceptional prosperity
and contentment exhibited in that coun-
try all through the last five years of de-
preston and discomfort in Europe. We
arc not iE the habit of regarding France
as an agricultural country; but it is.
1t produces more wheat than The United
State, its crop for 1868 being 0,000,0 600
bushels, while ours for the same year was
$40 100000. Wines, silks, oil and fine
fabrics are not the only exports sent
abroad from that country. Immense
quantities of butter, grain and fruit are
shipped to England-thc surplus Of a
people whose diligent industry and care.
full economy enable them to feed them
selves and contribute very largely to the
feeding of their hungry and voracious
neirhbors. The explanation of their Ca
paci,y to do this is that two-thirds the
area of France is in actual cultivation
every year, the farms being small, Of
course, but cultivated with a thorough
ness that causes them to yield three or
four times rs much, per acre, rs farms
YIELD on an average. in our Western
States. The advantage Of small farns,
we'll titled, needs no demonstration, even
in this country. Observation and uniform
experience show that they are abndes of
thrift and comfort while the history of
large ones is extravaganza, debt and
bankruptcy. Louis Republican.
