Gov Gilbert A. Pierce of Dakota, has been
in the CITY a day or two seeing the sights He
went to Barnum's circus, last Saturday after
noon. and renewed an old-time acquaintance
with one of the sacred Nautch girls who now
dance attendance upon the greatest show on
earth This Nautch girl was born in Poseyvlle,
Ind, and used to be a waiter IN the dining room
of the hotel where Governor Pierce took his
meals On Saturday night, as the Governor
was walking along Monroe street, nice-looKing
gentleman engaged him in conversation, and
told him how he could make 500 in less than 1--WE
minutes. The Governor embarked, in the enter
prise, and the result was that he had to send a
night message back to Dakota for enough money
to pay his hotel bill and bring him home. The
climate of Dakota seems to agree with Governor
Pierce; he has gained twenty pounds in weight,
his skin is as brown as leather, his eyes are
brighter than ever, and his step is singularly
firm and elastic. Clad in his buckskin breaches,
high boots, red flannel Shirt and SLOUGH hat,
with his belt lined with revolverS and knives,

LOUISVILLE, Sept. IA sensation developed
tonight, out of the assignment of Payne, Wiley

Needed Change in Libel Laws.

Gath in New York Tribune.
Mr. Blaines suit against the Indianapolis Sen
tinel is destined I hope. to show the utter alb
surdity of our libel laws. Newspapers of re-
sponsibiity guard carefully against the insertion
of Iibels; when they slip in through the careless
ness Of some subordinate or the malice Of some
informant who seeks to mislead, editors of char
acter and standing hasten to make reparation
It is only the reckless, irresponsible and charac-
terless men who are engaged in printing disreput-
able newspapers who persist in libels, and who
being sued civilly, take advantage of the
rule Of pleadings and insert new calumnies to
sustain the old. They do it because there is no
adequate punishment for such original offenses
and none at all for those subsequently, commit
ted in sustaining the first Under our laws you
may sue and punish by damages man for call
ing you a thief, but he may put in his pleadings
that you are also murderer and you have no
remedy as against that You may ask the jury
to take it into consideration as increasing the
damages, but that is all the remedy left you If
you got damages againet the average willful IL
beler youcan collect nothing, as the profession
al ibeler is usually careful to possess nothing in
his own name. If you take his body he can
swear himself out Of jail on the ground Of his
absolute warthlessness. meet scores of men

One of the great pleasures in those trips was
occasionally meeting our fellow-sufferers at a
quiet hotel in some of the Western cities. What
Jovlal times we had comparing our experiences,
sightseeing, going to operas, concerts and
theaters together. No one ever thoroughly APP
preciates the pleasure of sitting in an audience
and being amused until he has had the whole
responsibility of entertaining an audience for
one or two hours himself But those pleasures
were rare. 1t was remarkable how seldom we
met. Like ships at sea, we passed each other to
and fro on the boundless prairies Now perchance,
one might catch agfmpse OF Wendell Phillips,
Schuyler C0lfax or Theodore Triton, or
some leisure evening listen to the vivid descrip-
lions of old New England days, of Christmas
and Thanksgiving of courtships and sleigh rides,
