A PRESS TELEGRAM from Lafayette
Ind, states that Barney Horstman, who
nine years ago settled near that place, went
back to Germany four months since to see
his parents and secure a. .patrimony. The
German authorities seized him and i'm
prisoned him at Munster ON the eve of his
departure, on Saturday last, for America.
He is fully naturalized citizen of the
United States. When he first left Germany
he was under orders to report for military
duty.
1t may be fortunate for Mr.. Horstman
that he was not arrested by the English
Government. 1t is possible that, in view
of the fact that the German Government
has no subsidized organs among the daily
press of New York, the venerable Freling-
huysen may pluck up courage enough to
inquire whether there is any such man as
Horstman, and if so, whether he has been
arrested, as alleged, by Bismarck And in
case such person exists and has been so
arrested, whether the German Government
will permit the United States to suggest
that he may be an American citizen, and to
ask that if he is found to be such he be re-

course, that such action be entirely consist
ent with the public policy and interests of

1t would be wise, however, for Mr.. Free
linghuysen to address private notes to the
editors of the New York Times, Herald, Sm,
and Erening Post, the leading European or
gaDs in this country, to sec whether they
are under any general retainer from the
German Government before he makes any
decided move. 1t would not be pleasant
for Mr.. Frelinghuysen to take any decided
ground in dealing with any foreign Gov.
eminent and then discover that the Euro
pean newspapers Of New York were on the
side Of the enemy. Far better to find that
out privately and refrain from action
This is the way to avoid scandal.

A rHR1LLINa FIGHT FOR LIFE.

The following are the particulars
of a struggle for life on top of NOV
ing freight train on the Mobile and
Ohio Road, on Wednesday night =
Mr.. William B. Connolly went up on
top of the train after dark and found
three negroes stealing ride. He
asked them Cor their fare, and they
replied that they did not intend to
pay anything. Mr.. c. told them il
they had no money they must either
hel p the engineer or get off the train.
The negroes said they would see
who would get off first, and started
toward the engine, as if TO assist the
engineer. From the tender one Of
them secured billet Of wood and
came back over the top of the train,
and while Mr.. Connolly had his back
turned, standing near one of the
brakes, he was struck across the
temple and knocked almost insensi
BILE. .4aa .Ha.
Then began a struggle for life on
top of the train, which was running
at the rate of thirty or thirty'fiVe
miles an hour. The wounded and
stunned brakeman clutched the
plank walk and made desperate
resistance to the three brutes, who
beat him and bit his back, shoulders
and neck 10 a horrible manner. ol
They repeatedly informed him that
they intended to kill him, and from
the injuries inflicted it 10 evident that
to murder him was their intention.
They succeeded in getting his right
hand loose and bit the thumb on that
hand while they endeavored to loosen
the hold Of the other, SO they could
throw him off The train. After they
had beaten and bit him for some
| time, the whistle was blown for State
Line, and this fact, Mr.. Connolly
thinks, is all that saved his life.
When the train slowed up tor State
Line the negroes jumped off and es
capped 10 the dark ness. The wound
ed man was heard groaning, anC
found on the top of the train lying il
pool of blood. He was cared fol
by the railroad attaches and sen

ATTACHMENTS TO NEWSPAPERS


Some one who seems to know
about the relation Of good newspa~
per to the family writes as follows:
"Tbe strong attachment Of subscribe
ers to a we'll conducted newspaper is
fully confirmed by spublishers.--
Stop my paperl" words Of dread to
beginners in business, Hose their
terror after a paper has been estab-
lished for a term of years. So long
as a paper pursues just, honorable
and judicious course, meeting the
wants of its customers in all re-
spects, the ties of friendship be-
tween the subscriber and the paper
are as hard to break by an outside
third party as the link which binds
old friends ia business or social life.
Occasional defects and errors in q
newspaper are overlooked by those
who have become attached to it,
through its perusal for years. They
sometimes become dissatisfied with
it on account of something which has
slipped into its columns, and may
stop taking il; but the absence of
the familiar sheet at their homes or
Offices for few weeks becomes an
iusuppcrtable privation, and they
hasten TO take it again, and possibly
apologize for having it stopped. No
friendship on earth is more constant
than that contracted by the reader
for a journal which makes an honest
aud earnest effors to merit its con-
slant support.
