Mr. Cock, from the country, fell

Mr. Cock, from the country, fell
asleep in a chair on his veranda OF
the st. James Hotel, st. Louis, and
did not awake until 4 o'clock a. m.
His watch and $4,000 in money
had in the meantime been stolen.
He was very angry, and resolved
to catch the thief at any cost of
time and trouble. On four sue
cessive nights he feigned sleep in
the same chair, with the brass
chain Of brass watch hanging
out temptipgy, but nobody touched
it. On the fifth night, however,
the pickpocket returned. he had
scarcely pulled out the watch
when Cook opened fire with a
revolver, and when a surgeon
looked the thief over critically,
four bullets were found in his
body.-States.

JAY GoULD's INTENTIONS
Senator Jonas, of Louisiana. in an
interview with the New Orleans
States, mentions as a remarkable
fact that more than a year ago
he had a conversation, while in
New York with Jay Gould, in
which that gentleman spoke of his
intention-then a purpose in
embroyo, now a demonstrated fact
to make New Orleans the
objective point for a combination
Of railroads unegualed in this
country; to pour into foreign-going
vessels at New Orleans amounts
Of grain from the most distant
fields of the North and West, in
such vast quantities that the only
impeachment then known to him,
as an obstruction to be removed
from the road to success, was the
lack of facilities for its rapid
handing. If one thing is more
clearly pointed at than another by
the Gould Southwestern railroad
combination, it is that the cities of
New Orleans and st. Louis will
be benefited thereby. This
conclusion is now almost self

the ill-suited type; he made
honesty a passport to employment
in his establishment (; guaranteed
that none of the tickets would he
stolen, and insured the railroad
against all possible
losses by speculations while the
tickets were still in his hands.
The result was that he was
extraordinarily successful, and

upon as the greatest of it's kind in

We notice that since the decis-
ion Of the Supreme Court upon
the subject of the Sunday Law,
that many of our largest business
houses still remain closed on the
Sabbath. We heard one promi-
nent merchant remark when the
news reached us that the Sunday
law was a dead letter II am not
a member Of any church ; | see no
sin in selling my goods on Sunday j;
[ have always been able to make
a living by working six days out
of the seven, and whether the law
compels me to close or not on Sun
day / am going to do so, and at
least have one day in the week to
rest" He has done so, and we ex-
pect will continue to do so. We
have found no difficulty in pro-
viding for our wants for Sunday,
by purchasing what we needed on
Saturday, nor do we suppose any
one else has. We are under the
impression that the majority of
our merchants have found by ex-
perience that one day OF rest out
Of the seven is not too much, and
that law or no law that the habit
of closing their doors on Sunday
and giving themselves as we'll as
their employers a days rest will
still be observed.-St. Landry

1t is said that the temperance
fever runs SO high in Southern
California that in one town two
saloons have been blown up with
bombs. Some newspapers think
it would not he surprising to gee
the temperance revival assume
shape as a great national move
ment. One editor says there are
signs of this in many quarters
but they are not in the headquar-
tiers O. that editor.
