RoRRINo AN EDITOR.
The Story Of a Conscience Stricken
Freebooter.

The Stony OF q Conscience Stricken
Freebooter.
From the Virginia City Enterprise.
"Listen my children" said venera-
bic man, "aud 1 will tell you story,
beautiful and true. Once upon a time
there was bad, bold robber, who had
his haunt in the Wilds of mountain. AT
the foot Of the mountain, in the valley,
was village. It was not a very large
village, yet In it a newspaper was print
ed. The robber looked upon the editor
Of the newspaper as being the chief man
of the village, and thought he must be
very rich. So one dark night he came
down from his dark den in the noun
tain and stole into the dwelling of the
editor and then into the room where he
slept. The editor, being good man,
slept as sOundly and a. sWeetly as a
child. The robber searched all the place
bnt could not find the Baskets of gold
and diamonds he had supposed to be
stored up In the room, He then pat
his hands in all the pockets Of the
clothes Of the editor, but found no mon
ey in any Of them, The robbeE then
stood for tine as in a stupOr. He was
like one awakened from a dream. He
listened for some moments to the deep,
regular breathing of the sleeping editor.
and as he stood 80 he began to feel sad.
The heart of the bold. bad man was
touched. Quietly he toUk from bis
purse $4.75, placed the mSney in the
pan,aloOn pocket Of the editor, and
softly stole from the house. In the
morning when the editor got up and
put on his paataloons there was jingle
as OF money. A look of astonishment
came into the face of the editor. He
put his hand into his pocket and drew
out the money. When he saw this
great wealth the knees of the editor
smote together; he turned pale, tainted,
and fell to the floor, and there lay as one
Who is dead
ooh II oh gran lfather, did they
catch the bad robber man and hang him
on tree2''
"No, my daars, they did not catch the
bad, bold robber. He is still living.
From that day he reformed and got a
place as cashier in big bank, where
you will be glad to hear that he is doing
we'll and is greatly respected by all in
his church
"And the poor editor man, grand
father, what became of him."
"Ah, yes, my darlingsl had almost
forgotten him. Well, when he came
ont of his faint, and his eyes again saw
all the money lying about the room
where it had fallen, he was sorely per.
picked. At last he felt sure it had been
quietly placed in his pocket in the night
by great and rich neighbOr, who own
ed . lanyard and was running for the
Legislature, So for days and days he
printed in his paper whole columns of
praise Of the rich neighbOr, who was
elected to the Office, and ever after the
two men were the greatest friends. Thus
my dears, do good actions always meet
with their reward?

TH8 Iowa State Leader" says peO-
pie who live in their town and especially
those who live IN good warm homes and
are in comfortable circumstances, have
but little idea of the suffering and loss
entailed upon the people who live on the
prairie of the northwest By such storm
and such intence cold of last week. a
gentleman who reached town Wcdnes-
day night stated to Leader reporter
that he was snow-b bound at AlgOna for
six DAYS. During that time no train
reached the town on either the Milwau
kee or Northwestern lines. He came In
on the first train aud was nearly two
days on the way. At Eagle Grove, this
gentleman aaid, there was three car loads
of hogs which had frozen to death en-
route. Numerous dead cattle were seen
in the fields, and the damage to stock
which was not frozen must necessarily
be great" Thus it will be seen our
sister state to the northeast has had
full 81 ar of the late unpleasantncss.

samuel Hartley on Butter.

We find the following in the Oberlin
Herald from the pen OF Samuel Hunt
ley on butter making:
II noticed in a recent issue of the
Phillipsburg Herald to the effect that
some one had made 1000 pounds of
butter from 13 COWS last year and that
it could not be, or was hard to beat, etc.
Now the most of your readers will prob
ably endorse what say; On February
21st, 1882. Itcommenced weighing each

Der following. and the result was 242
pounds from one COW. For about four
months Of the time the calf was fed one
gallon of milk per day. Had that been
used would shave made much better
showing. All but about 20 pounds was
sold at % cents per pound. The butter
was not of the raw-hide persuasion

Sunday school Work in PhiIlipsbur

Sunday School Work In PhiIIipsburs
Phillipsburg is not "dead beat" as
it regards Sabbath Schools. Two Sun
day Schools running in full blast with
fair attendance, though in the midst Of
the hardest winter ever known Is not
bad for the town. Both the schools ap
pear to possess enOugh..ability to breathe
freely. It is to be desired that they
may pass through the enervating months
of April, May and Jure without being
debilitated sufficient to be decimated. If
the teachers should recognize the i'm
pOrtance of the work sufficient to avail
themselves of the many helps which are
accessible and study them diligently, the
attendance would continue to increase.
However efficient the teachers now are,
they can become tenfold more so, If they
will study the rich gems contained in
each of the lessons I trust the Sab
bath school work all over Phillips
county may prosper greatly this year.

DEFENDING HER NAME.

The London Globe reports the following ::
A little piece of information, though not
important in itself, may prevent some
errors in the account of an incident that is
sure to find its way into the English
papers. On Tuesday morning the Marquis
de Lsuville, whose name had occasion to
mention last week, fought duel on the
Belgian frontier with nobleman who was
supposed to be Lord Anglesey. The Mar
quis de Leuville's real adversary was Count
Almensegg, well known in Paris and Lon
don society, and an assiduous frequenter of
the German baths, where high play pre-
walls in private, if not in public. Whatever
may be said to the contrary, the quarrel
that let to an encounter was not political
one, though both parties would wish it to
appear 3d. 1t arose from the name of a
fair American being taken in vain by
Count Almensegg. The combatants met
near the Belgian town of Furnes. The
Marquis seconds were MN. Rodocanachi
and Vsvassour the Counts were two Ea-
glishmen, Messrs. Howard and Vaughn.
After some splendid fencing on both sides,
NJ. de LeHville wounded his opponent in
the arm. Toe latter was conveyed to
Furnes to an inn that bears the uhmistak-
able English sign of 'Ye Red Rose, and
showes still traces of the architecture that
obtained in the days of York and Lancas-
ter wars. The former proceeded to Bou-
logne, whence he crossed over to England
The Marquis de Leuville is an Anglo
Frenchman, and one OF the best.known
shots all over the world. He was to have
married Mrs. Frank Leslie This match
has been broken off solely on the score of
religious differences. NJ. de Leuville Sc.
cedes to the Roman Catholic Church, while
Mrs. Leslie remains Presbyterian. What.
ever else the chroniqueurs of tomorrow
may tell about the matter is incorrect"

GIRLS ON THE BALL FIELD.-Thinking
it would be grand sport to defeat nine of
young ladies, five of the professional Dele
wares of this city sent a challenge to the
Brunettes, which was accepted, ard the
game was played at the Manhattan Ath-
letic Grounds yesterday, in the presence
of about one thousand spectators. The
girls were, as might be expected, over
matched but while the professionals were
having fun with the girls in showing the
great contrast between their playing the
girls came up on them 80 close that they
were only one run behind when the game
was terminated 1t was extremely anus.
ing to see the manner in which the boys
annoyed the girls by purposely getting be-
tween the bases and having the fair ones
cut most ridiculous figures in their frantic
efforts to put them out. Miss Temple
made one of John O'Rourke's famous dives
while stealing to second, which afforded no
little amusement for the assemblage. Miss
Rosy Stanton got mad because ball hit
her on the end OF the finger, and threat
ened to strike Mcfarland for laughing at
her. Galpin, in the fourth inning, was
amusing himself and the spectators by
having the girls chase him between second
and third base. He was brought up in
his sport, however. by Miss Hassen, who
got so excited that she caught him around
the neck and held him until Miss Baseman
touched him with the ball. Miss Muir
made two. base hit, and seeing that it
would be close call at second she took the
advise of the yelling crowd and slid for the
base.-IN New York Herald.

a BEAUTIFUL LEGEND.-Do you know
now the site of the ancient City of Jerusa-
lem was chosen? There were two brothers
who had adjoining farms. The one brother
had large family, the other had no fam
lily. The brother with large family said :
"There is my brother with no family; he
must be lonely, and l will try and cheer
him up, and l will take some of the sheaves
from my field in the nighttime and set
them over on his farm and say nothing
about it. The other said "My brother
has large family, and it is very difficult
for him to support them, and l will help
him along, and l will take some Of the
sheaves from my farm in the nighttime and
set them over on his farm, and say nothing
about it." So the work of transferring
went on, night after night, and night after
night but every morning things seemed
TO be Just as they were for though sheaves
had been subtracted from each farm,
sheaves had also been added, and the
brothers could not understand. But one
night the brothera happened to meet while
making this generous transference, and
the spot where they met was thought SO
sacred that it was chosen as the site of the
City of Jerusalem. II that tradition should
prove unfounded, it will nevertheless stand
as beautiful allegory, setting forth the
idea that wherever kindly and generous
and loving act is performed, that is the
spot ut for some temple Of commemoration.
