How to BE Nobody.

1t is easy to be nobody, and we will
tell you how to do it. Go to the drink
ing saloon to spend your leisure time.
You need not drink much now--just
little beer or some other drink. In the
meantime, play dominoes, or something
else to kill time, so that you will be sure
not to read any useful books. If you
read anything, let it be the cheap novels
of the day; thus go on keeping your
stomach full, and your head empty, and
yourself playing time-killing games, and
in few years you will be nobody, un-
less you should turn out drums ard, or
a professional gambler, either of which
is worse than nobody. There are any
number of young men hanging around
bar r-parlors, just ready to graduate and
be nobodies.

Cruelty Nm . F,mnI, Reformntory.

The committee appointed by the Indiana
Legislature to investigate the management of
the indianapolis Female Reformatory are sue
ceeding in developing some unpleasant facts.
Mrs. Cynthisna A. Beals, who was two weeks a
nurse in the Children's Hospital, testified that
the children all had itch and syphilis. "Beds
were filthy, and blankets on which children
with running sores slept, were not changed
during the time she was there" She said she
saw "Aunty Smith" refuse q sick little girl
medicine prescribed for her by DR.. Parvin, and
also saw her jerk the little girl out of bed by
the arm. Francis A. Talbot saw Lizzie Smith,
aged thirteen, ducked in cold water for twenty
minutes, then whipped and put to bed; this for
self-abuse and teaching the habit to others.
Lizzie Cash had her hearing permanently in
jured by being pounded on the head. The
mode of whipping, however, seems to be to
strip the girls naked, and then use a strap.
Laura johnson was confined to her bed two or
three days from being whipped. Melissa Strong
"saw the large hose turned on Alice Powell"
The investigation is going on.

THE Chicago lnter.O ocean, with its u.ua'
blind fury against the south, is making itselt
ridiculous about the negroes in Kansas, and
boohoos over alleged gun.shot and lash
wounds and scars on their backs, inflicted by
inhuman southerners. If any Of them have
wounds on their persons they were inflicted
since they left the south, and it is well
known fact in the south that negro
with stripes and scars WAS always a bad
negro. The Inter. Ocean also charges that
if pestlence overtskes the southern white:
they cry out loudly to the north for SYM
pathy and aid. When the scourge of yellow
fever visited some of our southern cities Q
yesr or two ago, the people of the north
none of the Inter- Ocean stripe though, We
opine, most nobly came to the rescue of the
suffering and the starving and gave freely
and lavishly of their substance for their re-
lief. They acted like brothers, and they en-
deared themselves to the southern people by
it-so endesred themselves, indeed, that the
southern people would be ungrateful snd
despicsble wretches could they ever forget
ii. But il is left to the Inter-Oc TO throw
up to the south the north's bounty, and tc
remind the southern people of their obliga-
tons. Even savage has more kindness Of
heart, more genuine charity than this.

IF THE legislature refuses to require ad-
