There is absolutely no redeeming
feature in gossip. Even if true, we
do not desire to know disagreeable
facts about any of our neighbors.
Nothing is more demoralizing to a
man than TO lose faith in his fellows.
The man of faith and homer is not apt
to be suspicious of others, and does
not willingly believe evil. The lover
of scandal and the believer in it are
alike deficient in honor and morality,
and are the bane of well organized
society. If all gossips could bequietly
killed some morning, the next genera
ton of men and women would be
happier. A case OF hydrophobia now
and then starts the cry of -Muzzle
the dogs" Death on the highways"
etc. There is death and misery in the
highways and by-ways and in the
home, from the poisoned tongues of
gossips. Ler the voice go up. "Muzzle
the gossips." Teach the children that
gossiping is dish0norable. ana that
faith in the honor and virtue of man.

\ new project for supplying New
York City with water has been pre-
scented to the city authorities. y pri-
vate corporation desires 4 charter to
bring pure water from the limitlesS
supply of the Adirondack region. 1t
is estimated that the daily outflow
from that region is 300,OOO,O00O00 gal
Ions, some of the lakes and streams
being 1000 feet above tide level 1t
is proposed to bring this water to
New York by a canal running along
east of the Hudson river, and reach
ing the Harlem river two hundred
feet above the tide level. The COM
pany would also arrange to supply AL
bany, Troy, Poughkeepsie and other
cities along the route. The company
proposed to build the necessary works
at its own cost, and deriveits revenues
by charging for the water used and by
supplying power to private individuals
and corporations. 1t would probably
be better for New York to accept
such a plan than to undertake TO build
new works, with the attendant job.
berry and robbery. There is no doubt
that an inexhaustible supply can be
secured from the Adirondacks, and
the water is not excelled in the world
for purity.

The "0ld Hickory" is built for strength,

The sold Hickory is as perfect as it is

The superiority of the "0ld Hickory" over
other wagons is due
First-To the adoption of that form or mod
elthat comprises the largest amount of strength
with the least superfuous weight.
Second-To the adoption of that shape,
size, and adjustment of skeins, wheels and
gear and that arrangement of tongue, evener
and singletrees that gives the least friction
and easiest draft.
Third-To the great advantages the manu-
facturers of the '0ld Hickory" have over
other wagon makers in location, situated as
they are in the centre Of the finest timber re-
gion in the world. The company makes Sc

that on such Q grade the train could not

and that furthermore the engines and air
brakes could not have been disconnected

known that when the train drew into the
station two men we're seen there who
were subsequently found dead in the
wreck and who are as yet unidentified.
These men, it is thought, were part Of
the gang that attempted to rob the train.
Their object in letting off the brakes was
to get the train away from help, and in

be robbed. Being inexperienced, they
lost control of the train and the wreck
occurred.

A Washington telegram of the 21st
inst, informs the public that ION the
next suspension day in the house q mo.
tion will be made to pass the bill for the
division of the territory of Dakota. Mr..
Burrows says he has consulted with sew
eral leading democrats, including Ran
dali, Carlisle and Holman, all of whom
assure him they will not oppose the pas
sage of the bill, and do not think there
will be any opposition from the demo-
cratic side of the house. AS the quss.
tion has no political bearing ard is CON
ceded by all to be only an act OF justice
to the people of the northern portion ol
the territory. Mr.. Burrows thinks there
will be no difficulty IN passing the bill
through the house." It thus appears
that there is prospect that division
may be accomplished very soon. In that
event it will not be ont of place for the
present legislature to arrange for con-
stitutional convention and an election
of members and a representative. We
might as we'll commence getting accus.
toned to statehood.

the treasury department in the interest

The mans account wasn't going through
as quickly as he thought it ought, so he
stirred Kellogg up to go over and look
after it. The bureau officers didn't know
Kellogg, and the latter didn't introduce
himself. The bureau chief said the &C.

"We might" said the gray y-haired old
official, blinking through his spectacles,
"but we would have to scrutinize the

train was stopping for dinner. OF course,
they not being very we'll versed in the

they told Us. While they were sittinR
in the coach awaiting the departure Of
the tram, two men entered, one standing
at the door g q guard. and the other
advanced with a six-shooter and told
thom to "hold up.' They did not know
the meaning of the phrase, and conse.
quently were considerably stirred over
the idea Of looking down the barrel OF a
six-shooter. However, the party did not
get any money from them, as the con.
ductor was approaching the train, and
they left for better field to prospect
The only passengers in the train besides
them were two Swedes. Just from the old
country, who were about as much scared
as the balance of the party.

In case Dakota is divided. as now ap.
pears probable, on the forty-sixth par
allel, there will need be some count,
patching done. The southern tier oi
townships in Emmons, Logan, Dickey
and Ransom counties will be in Dakota
and the balance of those counties in
north Dakota. These townships would
naturally be attached to Campbell, Nc.

Brown and Day are already much toe

THE clMBRIA.

Few More Details Of the Ocean Horror
Hamburg. January 23-According to
the statement of another survivor of the
steamship Cimbria, at 2 o'clock Friday
morning, Captain Hansen received re-
port that the Cimbria's lights were all
burning properly, The breach made by
the collision was SO great that the Cim.
bria Immediately lay over, with q portion
of her deck under water.
One red Indian brandished his toma.
hawk before an officer of the steamer and
had to be disarmed. The tumult on
board was indiscribable. One married
couple cut their own throats in order
that they might die together. The ship's
surgeon encouraged those in the rigging
to hold fast, telling them that the Sultan
would soon rescue them, but several be.
came delirious and let 60 their hold.
The surgeon subsequently leaped into
the sea, saying he would make an end
of it.
No more persons have landed from the
Cimbria. Sailing vessels passing west.
ward may have picked up some. The
four steamers have not returned. The
thirty.nine persons brought into Ousx
had been the occupants of two boats. OF
the other seventeen persons the three
saved were brought in BY the Theia.
London. Jan. 23-The proof of Ham.
burg papers received here show that the
Cimbria was struck forty feet from her
bow. After making the breach the Sui.
tan scraped along the Cimbria and com
pletely rolled mp her iron plates. 1t is
evident that the blow must have been a
tremendous one. The papers also print
q brief report of what has transpired OF
the statement Of the captain of the Sui
tan before the British consul. giving the
part laying the blame on the Cimbria in
large type with notes of exclamation.
One Of the boats rescued by the Thela
contained thirty persons. The other
only nine. The latter had been tossing
about nine hours and was wster-logged.
All the occupants could do was tokeep
themselves from being washed away by
grasping the thwarts. The statement
concerning the death of Captain Hansen,
who was seen on the bridge to the last,
and Of the first officer, Who was seen
swimming after the Cimbria had sunk
concludes with the words: "Treu bis zun,
tode" faithful until death.)
