CewardIy Criticism.

To the Editor Of the Register.
An anonymous writer, contributing
articles to the State Jouraai, in dis
arrangement Of the University, Is as
suming TO review the characters and
qualifications of the several profes-
sors. He comedies their scholarship
and teaching capacity, but finds fault
with their characters. or Chairman
Berkeley, with whom he begins, he is
able to say aftor the most searching
scrutiny, only that he Is q Bourbon,
and an admirer Of the University of
virginis--which latter shows him to
be behind time and unit for HE po-
sition. To say nothing of tho Phari,
saical coneeit which thus mounts the
judgment seat, the animus Of the
writer appears in one or two sorry
innuendoes, and from his gentleman
illness not even the private converse
ton OF ladies is sacred. Now we
submit to NIL decent people, to ell
people Not lost to shame and fairness,
II anything can be more shameless or
meaner than such anonymous attacks
on men whose dignity and position
should shield them from attack as
they keep them from defence. Let the
writer disclose his name and his dis.
honorable cant will DO at once ap.
preciated. When men sitin judgment
on the intelligence and character Of
others the public 10 entitled to know
who they are, what their fitness for
judging, and their motives. On these
depend the value Of their Judgments.
True men despiso the assassin of
character, who stab in the dark.
Thoro. Is nothing more despicable
than yelled malicc,or more contempt
ible than the lnncor OF simulated
virtue. x. x. K.

JOURNALISM UNDER DIFFICULTIES.

JOURNALISM UNDER DIFFICULTIES.
In these hot July days, when the
average American journalist is ours
ing his tread mill sort OF life, confined
10 his den to wrestle with editorials,
dun delinquent subscribers and
dodge creditors, it may I've some con-
ISOLATION to compare his fate with
that Of the Russian journalists, OF
whom the Paper and Print says:
at requires no small amount Of
brain and journalistic ingenuity to
conduct newspaper in Russia. II
an editor favors the Government he
is in hourly fear Of having himself
and his entire establishment blown
into pieces by the dynamite Of the
Nihilists; and il he advocates the
rights Of the people he is certain of
Imprisonment, with fair prospect Of
o few years in Siberia.

AvoIp FARM MoRToAaEs.-Mr. II

AvoIp FARM MoRToAaEs.-Mr. II.
A. Haigh gives the following whole
some advice on mortgages to farmers
in the American Agriculturist for
August: Mortgages are necessary
and beneficial in civilized society
but there are unpleasant features
about them. They often enable a
man to accomplish what he could not
otherwise do, and they also often in
volvc man who would have been
otherwise successful. They often
enable man to get out Of trouble
which he could not otherwise avoid,
and they perhaps equally often make
miserable life which would have
otherwise been happy. 1t 10 easy to
get them on to the farm, but it is not
always SO easy to get them of. Farm
mortgages are about the best invest
ment that capital can find. Investors
generally like them. They partake
Of the nature, permanence, and other
substantial qualities Of real property,
but are relieved from many burdens
imposed upon land.

ATTEMPTED KIDHAPPING.-On the
4th considerable excitement was oc-
casioned near Mt. Morris by what
was believed to be an attempt..to kid
nap little two-year-old child of New
ton Keiger. In the fore part of the
day Mrs. Keiger went to the field
where her husband and some other
men were at work, taking with her a
piece meal for them, leaving at the
house little girl to care for the two
year-0ld cherub. She had been gone
but short time when q strange man
appeared at the house, took the little
child in his arms and stuck for the
woods. The sister hastened to the
field to tell her father what had hap
peued, who, with the other men has
tened to the house, and started in pur-
suit. They diligently searched the
woods where the man was seen to go,
but found no traces of him or the
missing child. They returned to the
house, and to their pleasant surprise,
found the object of their search sitting
on the floor where it had been placed
by it's eaptor. The party then direct
ed their search for the man. They
got on his track where he passed
through an oats field, and followed
him to q neighboring farm where sew
eral men were cutting wheat. They
told the pursuing party that they had
seen q man answering the description
of the one given by the little girl, had
passed them. The party searched
some time for him, but abandoned the
chase on losing traces of him. Quite
a number OF the neighbors joined in
the search, and had they found the
attempted kidnapper they would more
than likely have strung him up to
the first tree they came to. 1t is the
opinion that the hot pursuit Of the
party forced him to return the child,
and that his object in carrying the
child away, was for the purpose Of
getting all the members Of the family
from the house, and then rob it.
Whatever his intent was, the whole
affair was rather = singular occur

A CHILD OF THE BATTLE FIELD

A CHILD OF THE BATTLE FIELD
A correspondent Of the Wheeling
Intelligenccr writing from Martins
burg gives the following bit Of touch
ing history Of the life Of we'll
known young lady Of that place:
Almost every family and individ-
ual hero in Martinsburg has some
bit Of romance in connection with
the late war. To-day, at a musicale
to which l was kindly invited, l met
q lady whose talents as a musician
and whose remarkable beauty had
attracted my attention. She pos
sessed that rare type Of prettiness
that is wholly Southern. Great deep
blue eyes, the face perfect in every
feature; hair rich in it's abundance
and wonderful in it's tint. This is
her story: Twenty years ago, when
the tide Of battle in long bloody
waves swept over the terrible field Of
Manassas, a baby girl was left an
orphan on the battle ground. During
the changes Of the fateful day the
home Of the blue-eyed girl was at
one time directly between the fire Of
both armies. As the first shots
whistled above the house the parents
started to flee for a place of refuge.
A dozen yards from the door both
were shot down, and the baby, an
orphan, without sister or brother,
was alone in the world. The battle
ragged on, dead and dying were every
where, but the baby was unframed.
The day wore away and just as the
SUMS last rays, half hidden in the
curling smoke, sadly kissed the earth
good night General Jubal Early, rid
ing by, heard the baby's cries. He dis

under the care of his sisters. They
watched it through its infantile years.
giving it an education and world of
love, and now that baby, grown to
lovely and accomplished,
the pet of a wide circle Of friends, who
call her "Waif," is the sole support
Of those two women, sisters Of the
rebel General. She talked to me
of her early years, and her
eyes filed with tears as
she spoke of her two old friends. If
I should write her name 1t would not
be strange one here, for all the city
knows Miss Ida Henry.
