1t seems that the Hon. John b. Finch
has got his foot in it. The Lincoln
Democrat publishes a lengthy article
charging that he is guilty of trying to
seduce a young and pretty girl who has
been domiciled for some time at the
Finch mansion and attending the Uni
versity. Mrs. Finch, the Democrat
says, has gone to her folks in York
State. The Lincoln Journal discredits
the statement published by the Demo-
crat and says that it believes the tenn
perance apostle is innocent. 1t is a
sweet scented muss, anyway.

Capt. Zediker Of the Naponee Bans1
was assaulted on his way home one
night last week by two unknown vaga-
bonds, and an impromptu duel was the
result, several shots being fired on each
side but no particular damage being
done. The assault was occasiOned by
the appearance of an article in the Ban
ner rejecting as is alleged. upon the
character of certain parties. Not a
week passes without an editor some
where in these United States, being
either shot or shot at by some galoot
who does not like something that has
appeared in the paper. 1t is becoming
alarming, guess we'll have to train up,
We used to be a crack shot but are
terribly cut of practice now. Train up,
brethren, train uD.

EDITOR CHIEF
DEAR SIR:-Please call attention 70
the following facts in your paper and
impress upon the citizens of your
county the necessity for an accurate
collection of all statistical information
required by law, viz:
We want the number of horses,
cattle, sheep, swine, &c, &c. complete.
Every acre of land under cultivation,
and the crop and quantity raised in
1879.
Manufacturing interests of all kinds
even though small, as yet, should all be
mentioned.
No one is asked by an enumerator
of the U. S. Census to sign his name.
Look out for frauds in June and don't
let your people be swindled by sharp's.
Yours Respectfully,
BRAD. ID. SLAUGHTER.

"T'hat was an awkward mistake Of

What mistake Y'' Caroline asked,
sweetly.
The confounding Miss Darrell's very

And Caroline deep blush spoke the
confession her lips were unwilling to
frame.
Miss Vane was O shallow false natured
person, but her heart, what little there
was of 1t, was given to Edwin Morton,
and this sudden blighting of all her
hopes was bitterness indeed. And she
had to thank that pink. checked, dewy-
eyed Helen Darrell for 1t all
II wish had never seen her, or her

You must write another story, Miss

1t; and about three months later, Helen
astonished her grandmother Darrell by
telling her she was to be married to Ed

SUNDAY READING.
SPLICING THE LADDER.


One night the large and splendid Sail
ors' Home In Liverpool, was on fire,
and vast multitude of people gathered
to witness the confagration. The fury
of the flames could not be checked. 1t
was supposed that all theinmate had left
the burning building. Presently, how
ever, two poor fellows were seen stretch
ing their arms from an upper window,
and were shouting for help. What
could be done to save them.
A stout marine from man-of.war ly-
ing in the river said, "give me long
ladder and 1 will try it,
He mounted the ladder. 1t was too
short to reach the window. "Pass me
up short ladder ~ he shouted
1t was done. Even that did not reach
to the arms stretched franticaly out of
the window. The brave marine was
not to be balked. He lifted the short
ladder upon his own shoulders and hold
ing on by easement, he brought the
upper rounds within reach of the two
men, who were already scorched by the
flames.
Out of the window they clambered,
and creeping down over the short ladder
and then over the sturdy marine they
reached the pavement amid the loud
hurrahs of the multitude
1t was noble deed, and teaches no.
BILE lesson. 1t teaches us that when we
want to do good service to others we
must add our own length to the length
of the ladder.
Harry Norton saw that his fellow
clerk, Warren Proctor, was becoming
hard smoker and hard drinker, although
he was only sixteen years old. When
heurged him to stop smoking and drink
ing Warren replied
"Why you at times take cigar and
glass of wine yourself"
+" If you will sign a pledge never to
smoke cigar or touch drop of liquor
! will do the same"
| The bargain was made, and Harry
saved his friend by adding the length of
his own example to the length of the.
ladder.
A widow lady near me was suffering
from sickness and poverty. Her daugh-
ter, delicate refined girl, said to her
self, " My mother must be taken care
of; I'll advertise for place as servant
| girl" hf0Y aGr i
She did SO. A rich man saw the adj
vertisement, and determining that the
young girl should not undertake that,
he procured her a situation as secretary
in an institution, where she gets six
hundred year. An unselfish daughter
thus brought relief to a suffering moth
er. She spliced the ladder with her own
self.denying exertions.
1t is noble thing to be unseliish, and
give up qualifications for the sake of
other people. When the great Chris
tian sage of old said, 1t is right not to
drink wine by which my brother stum-
bles," he added the length of his own
influence to the ladder for saving others
from drunkenness. ast.
could tell of two Christian lads, well
educated and refined, who go every Sun
day to mission school, in dirty degrad-
ed street, that they may encourage some
| poor ragged boys to go there too. These
two boys have the spirit of Jesus Christ.
| They are not SELFISH and they mean
| that the poor, ignorant lads shall climb
| up in the world over them.
| That is the way to initiate the divine
| Master, who gave himself that men
might climb out of the folly and degra-
dation of sin into heaven itself.

A Boys Manly Answer.


A lad in Boston, rather small for his
years, works in an office as an errand
boy for four gentlemen who do business
there. One day the gentlemen were
chatting him about being SO small, and
said to him o
"You never will amount to much; you
never can do much business, you are too
small.o
The little fellow looked at them
Well, )" said he, g as small as am,
can do something which none of you
four men can do"
All, what's that ?'' said they.
don't know as / ought to tell youp
he replied "
But they were anxious to know, and
urged him to tell what he could do that
none of them were able to do.
g I can keep from swearing ~ said the
little fellow. a3l
There were some bushes on four man
ly faces, and there seemed to be very
little anxiety for further information on,
the point.

The Right of an Officer TO Kill.

The Albany Law Journal has the
following which will be of great impor-
lance to officers in the discharge of
their duties, especially in the matter of
escaping prisoners. The Journal says:
While defendant Tin case in the Ten
nessee supreme COURT constable, was
conveying to Jail a prisoner convicted
of assault and battery and committed
to Jail, the prisoner attempted to escape.
To prevent the escape, defendant, after
giving the prisoner notice to halt, shot
and killed him. Held that the homi-
eide was not justifable. In cases
where the person slain is arrested or
held in custody for misdemeanor, and
he fly or attempt to escape, it will be
murder in the officer to kill him, al
though he cannot be otherwise overta-
ken. Yet under some circumstances it
may be only manslaughter, as if it ap-
peared death was not intended. 1t is
considered better to allow one guilty
only of a misdemeanor to escape
altogether than to take his life.
