WhIla patrolling Southern river ''marines," in
1854 our commander thought 1t would be good idea
to draw some whisky, to be taken in small doses to
prevent malaria. Our company were the possessors
of barrel of the burning iquid-or rather the
Of the company were, for they kept the barrel at
headquarters. This liquor issued to the amount
of one gill per day. or course there could be no
drunkenness on one gill Of whisky-but 1t somehow
happened that by the end of 4 week several of the
"boys" got exceedingly hilarious.
The Orderly Sergeant of the company some
thing of a quack doctor, and he concluded that
goodly supply of quinine mixed with the daily allow
ance of whisky would prevent the boys from saving
1t up and getting tight and would also be good for
the system. So the allowance for the company was
each day placed in kettle, and literally dosed
with quinine But this did not have the desired
effect. for in luckless moment the officers all went
out to drill the and left the door Of their shanty
unfastened. A couple of boys the sick list
that day. and these took gallon Kettle,
the barrel, and filed the kettle with the vigorous
juice This was sufficient to get quite a number

COOP, kind-hearted old Jimmy Will

A WRITER in the Pomeroy Tele-
graph tackles Brother Jones about
his bill to punish drunkards, and
thinks that solitary confinement on
bread and water would be better.
Now let us suggest that the drundard
be tied up on the public square, on
Saturday afternoon, and have his ma
ked back lashed with forty stripes,
save one; and let this law apply to
Judges, lawyers, legislators, editors,
&c., as we'll as to the poor devils who
wallow in the filth of the back alleys.

IT was sad commentary upon the
American bar when Scoville stood up
before the jury in the Guiteau case and
argued that the murderer ought to be
acquitted for killing Garfield, because
there was a difference, politically,
between Garfield and Conkling. If
Mr.. Scoville's aim was to make the
jury believe that the counsel was no
better than his client, he probably
went far toward achieving success.

NEwBERG, who was clerk for the
Board Of Public Works, and who
committed great many forgeries to
raise money for grmbling, has been
indicted by the Grand Jury in Colum-
bus in 50 cases. The lowest punish
ment is one year in each case; so this
scoundrel, if he gets anything like
justice, will spend the remainder of
his life in. the penitentiary. There is
just the place where all gamblers
should be located.

The American people will draw a
long breath of relief when the Guiteau
trial is finished. The whole business"
is bad. That the assassin ought to
hang there are few men who will
deny. vet the conduct Of Corkhill
toward the prisoner, and the conduct
Of Scoville toward Corkhill and others,
is a spectacle which the people are
doubtless eager to forget. Such law
yers as Reed, Davidge and Porter, con-
stitute redeeming feature, but their
burdens are very heavy, and there will
be feeling Of satisfaction when the
tope shall claim the murderer.

MOrenLynch Law.

Oar readers will remember that sew
eral weeks ago we mentioned the
murder of DR. Beggs, near Ironton.
He was shot as he was going home
from saloon, about eleven o'clock at
night. A man named Zeek, and an
other named Waggoner, were arrested
and sent to jail. Zeek has made a
confession, and says that Waggoner,
who is his brother-in-law, did the
shooting.
On last Thursday night a mob of
disguised men took Waggoner out of
the Jail and hung him on tree, near
the Court House.
We believe, the way the criminal
law is now not being administered
that this was right. In order to make
lynch law a terror to evil-doers, il
must extend, in some cases, to Judges
and jurors.
A short time ago the Ironton Be-
had an editorial in favor Of abolishing
juries, and among other sensible
things said:

That is just the way to treat such
fellows. We have heard Of county
officers paying out Of the county
treasury ST per 1000 for letter-heads,
when they could have got much nicer
job done at home for SIS per 1000.
Persons not acquainted with such
matters light wonder why an officer
who was fawning to his county paper
for its support, before the election,
would act SO very strangely; but the
matter was brought to light some
years ago at an Editorial Convention
at Springfield, Ohio. A stationery
drummer comes from the city and
sneaks into a county Office and in
quires, What do you pay your home
Office per ream for letter-heads?" ?"
Five dollars" says Mr.. Officer. ''Let
me sell you a ream for seven dollars" :"
says Mr.. Drummer. ''Why?" says
the officer The drummer taps the
officer on the should and winks, and
says, Il will send in my bill for ST,
and you send me SIS. 1t is none of
my business what you do with the
other $2."
