| THE MoRNlNG NEWS is right. Il is
crying sham" that persons IOr trial il
our court should BE- marched on foot,
chained together, more than half a
mile, through the thickest populated
section Of the city, exposed 10 the gazc
Of everybody, and often subject to ridi-
rule and insult. The sight is disgust
lng to the finer instincts Of humanity
and degrading to the moral sense Of the
public. The Levy Court should lose no
time in providing Il " Black Maria to
conduct these crime charged persons to
and from III" depot to the Court House.
We are confident that all that will be
required TO bring about the needed re-
form will be to call the attention Of the
Levy Court to this subject. What say
you, gentlemen Of the Levy Court ?

Baltimore herald.
Robert Toombs, of Georgia, whose chief am
bition at one time was to call the roll OF his
slaves at the foot of Bunker Hill monument,
was known as the "unlucky fisherman" When
he was boy he was quite uns>linly in appear
ance, and his companions used to say that ne
was so ugly that ne scared the fish away. All
through his career he never had any luck at ang-
Cling. He would sit for hours on the banks Of a
stream impatiently awaiting a bite and cuTsiug
his luck, while others around him were landing
fish by the dozen. After fishing all day in a
Georgia stream he drew up a huge mud turtle.
He cut his name in full on the hard SHE'LL and
threw the turtle back into the water. Two
years afterward he was fishing at the same spot,
and again drew out turtle. 1t was the very
same turtle on which he had inscribed his name,
but he was astonished to find below his name
the words: "Too ugly to catch fish" A wag-
gish friend had caught the denizen of the mud,
and cut the lines below. The story went that
Toombs caught the identical turtle no less than
five times, and the last time in a fit of rage, cut
its head off

Lord Churchin's American wife.

Lord Randolph Churchill" said Sir Richard
Temple. in a recent interview, lis coming very
rapidly to the front personally have great
admiration for him. His American wife watches
over him with great solicitude. and ovinces the
utmost pride in him. have watched her stand
ing behind him when speaking in public places.
and noticed how tenderly she wraps his throat
and performs other little acts of wifeiy devotion
She is truly lovely woman"
''Do you think Lord Randolph would have a
portfolio in case of the formation of n Conserva-
tive ministry2" Sir Richard Temple was asked.
Undoubtedly. But certain care would prob
ably be exercised to give him a secretsryship
suitable to his somewhat peculiar temperament.
1t would not do to give him the Home office. He
would talk too freely to Populations and proba-
bly, offend the greater portion of them No,
the best post to give Randolph Churchill would
be the War secretaryship or the admiralty. The
lattor would suit him essentially He could
study up statistics Of iron clads and keep out of
mischief Still, you can rest assured of one
thing, gentlemen-an American lady will some
day be the wife of the Premier of England, and
] don't think / need explain myself further"

Temperance in New York.


Temperance is making its own way quietly in
New York. Although the indiscriminate system
of treating hands all round" is not yet quiet
abolished it has gone greatly out of fashion.
Where under this foolish and pernicious system
men in the good old days were more or less COM
PEELED for good fellowship to take their three or
four or five rounds at a standing, they now take
their single drink with friend, and it is not
considered breach of good fellowship to refuse
to extend it. Many of the boys" too, now
rarely, if ever, drink anything during business
hours. Many more restrict themselves mainly
to the innoeuouS beer or, better still q glass of
Catawba or some other native American wine.
Indeed, could these native wines only be cheap
ened bit and kept fairly pure they would soon,
in all probability, become the favorite table
drink Of the country, as ought to be the case.
Thus a valuable native industry would be
fostered and spread, and one Of the strongest
aids TO the temperance cause be supplied. For
these wines, if not grossly aduterated, do not
intoxicate unless drank in impossible quantities
On the contrary they are very healthful, taken
in fair moderation. Another temperance sign is
'hot beef tea" hung in prominent place in the
windows of many liquor saloons. 1t is made
from Leibigs extract of beef and is much favored
in winter weather.

She was loaded with petroleum and had prob
ably been burning for several hours The oil

as near as we dared, and then lowered boat

there was nothing to show who she was or
where she was from A small boat painted

Telegraph Faeilities in New York.

Gath, in Philadelphia Times
The telegraph operators are probably going to
strike, or a large portion of them We now
have more telegraph wire and really more OPP
position than has ever before been known but
the Western Union company, through its long
control occupies the vantage ground. Ithas
facilities of all kinds which are very remarkable
They have finished a splendid Office at Broad
way and Twenty third street with pneumatic
tube to the main office, which is two or three
miles further down town. From the main office
they have ocean cables, river cables, telephone
attachments and it is said that at no distant
period telephone wires are to be strung from
Philadelphia to New York. The Western Union
probably pays its dividends, though they are
somewhat diminished out of its legitimate earn
ings. If all the companies opposed to this con-
Germ were consolidated under one firm manage
ment they might make very serious opposi-
ton, but up to this time attempts to consolidate
them have failed. The Bankers and Merchants
Telegraph Company, built by Mr.. Dimock,
which is quite expensive system, has been
sought by different spectators who expect to
sell it ultimately to the Western Union. The
Baltimore & Ohio Telegraph Company, which
has series of very gaod Offices in this town and
seems to do its work very promptly, expected to
get hold of the Bankers and Merchants. Ben
nett's cables to Europe are said to work very
well, but he has gone into the cable business at
the expense of his newspaper, which is the sub
jec5 of general remark here for its want of quail
ity, enterprise and common instinct.

The ship Anna was lying out in the stream off
Bedloes island this morning. Ice a quarter OF
an inch thick coated her sides which made her
look as if she was armor plated The masts
were frosted and icicles eighteen inches long
hung from the yards. The sailors walked the
the decks clad in their thickest and warmest
clothing and were frantic in their efforts to keep
warm. Altogether the ship looked as though she
had returned from a polar expedition instead of
having just arrived from Hong Kong. Captain
Schilat, who was seen by p reporter. said:
We had very lively time of it altogether
and now, to crown all, have been nearly frozen
il this harbor. We left Hong Kong on July 4
and made our way straight for Macassar. All
was very nice for several days, but we knew
that would not last long. The Indian ocean
Is treaeherous. and we anticipated rightly, for
on July 20, when in latitude II degrees and
longitude l2S east, one of those typhoons peculiar
to that locality broke on u.s. Had we not been
prepared for it, the ship Anna and her crew
would now be at the bottom of che sea- No
words can depict this tornado. The wind blew
mountains high Our experience is beyond
adequate description. These typhoons give very
little warning and we were only inst prepared
for it. Every stitch of sail was taken down, the
yards lowered, the topmasts brought down as
low as possible the decks were cleared ami every
movable thing slowed away"
The calm was oppressive at first We lay al
most motionless on the sea- our masts stripped
OF canvas Then came the first warning gust of
wind and in a moment the typhoon was upon
us. The men at the helm were dashed there to
prevent their being washed away. The wind
blew from the southwest to the northwest
and for hours we ran before it under
bare poles | have wondered since how we
weathered it and how the masts withstood the
strain. Wave after wave broke over the deck
sweeping the ship from stem to stern The men
were frequently taken by wave and hurled TO
the other end of the ship, ard yet, miraculous to
say no one was hurt, and nothing was damaged
These typhoons leave off just as suddenly as
they come, and after few hours we were again
on calm sea- which lasted while we made the
passage through the Lombrich straits and Java
sea Nothing of Importance appeared until
Nov 10, when, during the night, one of the
watch called out, Ship on fire. In moment

The DAILY JOURNAL.

The indianapolis Journal is better equipped
than ever in its history to serve the public.
With fine mechanical outfit, not excelled
anywhere, the topographic appearance and
arrangement of the paper will maintain for
the Journal the deserved reputation of being
one of the best printed papers in the country.
Our arrangements for the collection of news
from all parts of the world were never so COM
plete, never involved so large an outlay of
money, while in all departments the paper is
served with experienced and intelligent direc-
ton The Journal is, first, Newspaper 1t
will give all the news of the day, from every
quarter, with fullness, entire fairness, and so
edited as to make its columns free from i'm
purities and allow them at all times to be read
with perfect safety by every member of the

believing in the principles and general policy
of the Republican party; but it recognizes
that in the work of parties there are and will
be wrongs, possibly frauds and corruptions.
These the Journal proposes to be perfectly free
to criticise and to condemn without stint, but
in spirit and with purpose for good, having
proper regard for personal rights and reputa-
tons. And the right to make this criticism
viii be asserted and maintained without detri-
ment TO the political character and standing of
the paper. With no desire to be captious or
fault-Gnding in the interest of the people and
of the party, believing that the great glory of
republcanism is that it permits freedom of
thought and liberty Of expression, the Journal
will endeavor, in its editorial comment and con-
duct, to keep the Republican party the agency
through which aud by which the best thought
of the people may find expression and the
highest purpose of the people be executed.
Other than this and less than this, will meet
its most vigorous opposition. We hope to
make the Journal the exponent of the highest
and best thoroughly sincere and earnest in
whatever it says and does; paper of the
people and for the people, as welcome to one
class as to another, expecting a continuance
of generous confidence and support by the
people. Subscribe at once.

How old. how grave, how wise we grow!
What Christmas ghost can make Us chill
Save these that troop in mOurnful row,
The ghosts we all can raise at will
The beasts can talk in barn and byre
On Christmas eve, old legends know.
As one by one the years retire.
We men fall silent then trow-
Such sights has memory to show,
Such voices from the distance thrill
All mel they come with Christmas snow,
The ghosts We all can raise at will.
Oh, children of the village choir,
Your carols on the midnight throw
Oh, bright across the mist and mire
Ye rpddy hearths of Christmas glow.
Beat back the shades beat down the woe
Renew the strength Of moral viii;
Be welcome, ALL to come or go,

We part like guests who've joyed their fill;
Forget them not, nor mourn them SO,
The ghosts we oil can raise at will
