BELLS ON SHEEP.

Mr.. James $. Grinnell, writing in the
Springfield Republican of bells on sheep
as a protection against dogs, gives this
illustrative experience:
"a good farmer in Leyden, Mass,
who keeps about dozen excellent South
down ewes, always belled, was grieved
and surprised one morning to find that
dogs had raided his flock, killed two,
mangled Others, and scattered the rest
On collecting his little flock in the yard
after days search he found that the
tongue was lost from the bell. This was
replaced, and never since have his sheer
been worried. The experiment is sc
simple and cheap that is is worth trying

III have read,n said Mr.. Sturgeon, "of
one who dreamed dream when in great
distress of mind, about religion He
thought he stood in the outer court Of
heaven, and he saw glorious host
marching up, singing sweet Hymns, and
bearing the banner of victory and they
passed by him through the gate, and
when they vanished he heard in the dis
lance sweet strains of music.
"Who are they 7" he asked.
"rhey are the goodly fellowship Of the
prophets, who are gone to be with God"
And he heaved deep sigh as he said !:
"Alas, am not one of them, and never
shall be, and / cannot enter there"
BY and by there came another band
equally lovely in appearance, and equal
ly triumphant, and robed in white.
They passed within the portals, and
again were shouts of welcome heard
within.
"Who are they?'
"They are the goodly fellowship of
the apostles"
"Alas," he said, ~ belong not to that
fellowship and cannot enter there
He still waited and fingered, in the
hope that he might yet go in; but the
next multitude did not encourage him,
for they were the noble army Of martyrs.
He could not go with them, nor wave
their palm branches. He waited still
and saw that the next was company Of
godly ministers and officers of Christian
churches; but he could not 60 with
them. At last, as he walked, he saw a
larger host than all the rest put togeth-
er, marching and singing most melodi-
ously, and in front walked the woman
that was sinner; and the thief that
died upon the cross hard by the Savior;
and he looked long, and saw there such
as Manasseh and the like; and when
they entered he could see who they
were, and he thought:
"There will be no shouting about
them.'
But to his astonishment it seemed al
if all heaven was rent with seven-fold
shouts as they passed in. And the an
! gels said to him:
'"These are they that are mighty sin
ners, saved by mighty grace"
And then he said Blessed be to God

And so he awoke.

made On attempt TO reach tho ollciating
minister breast4deep IN tho water, but
her cork leg was seized with unwontoii
activity. Miss Wilson knew nothing Of
the law Of specific gravity, and va not
to blams. She was suddenly reversed
in tho wster. The minister feelingly
righted her up, and observing the grim
ming Of the spectators at tho solemn
scene, asked Miss Wilson please not to
do that again. He was innocently ig-
norant Of the cause Of the disturbance Of
her equilibrium. He gently led the
maiden ont, when, with q wild shrek,
she fell backward and her lively leg
shot out Of the water. The minister
made half d dozen efforts, bnt could not
keep the convert right end up long
enough to baptise her. At length she

The New York Herald advocates the
substitution of arbitration for jury trial
in civil cases. 1t says:
The civil jury of to-day is Q crude an
omalous relic Of the past, which has
come down through four centuries with
out material change, and which never
could have found place In modern jnr-
isprudence had il, not been
foisted upon rs by time and
circumstance. Men drawn at
random from the masses, without any
reference to their intelligence, expert
ence or calling, are made TO decide intri-
cate questions of property, trade, finance.
shipping, mechanics, ETC., concerning
which they are wholly ignorant. As
their duties are temporary they gain no
experience. AS they serve unwillingly
and with impotence to return to their
business or homes they are apt
to be careless and indiher-
ent. In the number of Its members the
jury is absurd. Controversies involving
vast interests are decided by a single
judge. The disputes of nations are set
tied by two or three arbitratoFs. Bust
ness men submit their differences to
one of their own number. But in q
jury trial, however Insignificant the
amount or the question involved, twelve
men are deemed essential to
settle the matter satisfactorily. NOg is
this the most ridiculous featuie of the
system. In the tribunals of arbitration,
courts, legislative and other bodies the
gravest questions are decided by ma
jority. But in the case of Jury the an
Client requirement Of unanimity which
Hallam properly denOunces as Q "pre.
posterous relic of barbarism," defeats
every verdict TO which each of the
twelve Jurors Is not willing to agree.

A TRAGEDY WITH A MORAL.

A TRAGEDY WITH A MORAL.
The mournful and tragic fate Of Depu-
ty Sheriff Splllman, who was fatally
stabbed by Edward johnson, at String
town, last evening, has impressed upon
this community, as probably nothing
short of such fearful argument could
have done, the danger to be apprehended
from the indiscriminate sale of deadly
weapons, which is daily being attended
by such alarming results all over the
country. With pistol or dirk in the
hands of every man and boy who may
become infamed with q desire for their
possession, and in view Of the unrestriet-
ed sale of these instruments Of destEuc
ton 10 the most violent and irresponsi-
BILE members of society, it should not be
regarded In the light OF marvel that
we have fallen upon an era Of murder
GUS ''cranks," and that even as law-abid-
ing q city as Emporia has been called
upon for a contribution 10 the long list
Of tragedies chargeable to this crying
evil.
In the case in point we have man,
who, while recognized as most dan
gerous character, was found, upon the
occasion Of his arrest, several months ago,
by Marshal johnson, Of this city, to be
walking arsenal, and the terrible af-
fair of last night revealed the fact that
aside from the weapons which he
habitually carried upon his per-
son, he had in reserve an ample
supply with which TO crafty
his murderous propensities, and which
he employed with fatal effect. The
mental condition of the man who i'm
bued his hands in the blood of one Of
our most valued citizens may extenuate
his act in the eyes of the law, but It en-
phasizes the demand for the speedy ac-
complement of measures which shall
render such persons harmless by with
holding from them the means of carry
ing out their inimical designs.
1t must be remembered that the cir
connected with the tragedy
which has made such profound i'm
preston upon the community, are by
no means exceptional. The public
prints abound in accounts of
similar occurrences all over the
country. and the shooting and cutting
epidemic which seems to be sweeping
the land, is manufacturing public senti-
ment against the indiscriminate sale OF
deadly weapons which promises at an
early day to ripen into effective action
for the proper regulation of this danger
Gus traffic.
The evil, it is encouraging to note, has
become the theme of vigorous agitation
on the part of the public press, and there
the good grounds for hope that the efforts
of the newspapers. supplemented by the
demands of the people for protection
against a common danger. is destined TO
accomplish a speedy and salutaEy re-
form by means of judicious legislation

IL Is not easy To ascertain the truth as to
the working Of the new prohibition law

reported, apparently upon the authority

producing satisfactory results, and that
the only drawbacks were those incident
TO every important change wrought by
Legislation. On the other hand it is as
serted that there are more liquor saloons
to-day in Kansas than existed before the
law was passed, and that, largely owing
to the fact that there is no license TO pay,
they are sprInging mp like mushrooms

Concerning Guiteau.

WASHINGTON, D. c., August 5.-Gui-
teau does not suffer from confinement.
His appetite is excellent. He frequently
asks for more and gets it, as the policy
of the warden of the Jail is to keep the
prisoners we'll fed. His rations are taken
to his cell, as in the case of all the
prisoners, in a big box. He has adapted
himself to prison life, having learned
considerable by previous experience In
the tombs at New York. He does not
appear over particular as to his food,
the only point ON which he insists in
being particular, is that he shall not be
served with fat meat; so pieces of lean
are parceled out to him. He relishes
his food, and seems contented with his
meat, bread and coffee. Guiteau shows
as much interest in his plain but whole
some fare as any epicure could in most
delicious viands. The attendants repre-
sent him as being one of the most quiet
and inoffensive prisoners in the Jail.
Whenever he knows what is wanted of
him, he complies and never utters q
complaint. He sleeps well and does not
appear at all stricken with remorse. All
his wants are attended to. His hair is
cut and beard trimmed by an attendant.
While Guiteau says but little about his
crime, enough is known to indicate that
he regrets his act, because he realizes
that instead Of being hero he Is certain
to be punished for his crime. He still
has fear of popular indignation. He
would not be safe in this country if he
was at liberty.
