Christian Witness.

Christian Witness.
During the Crusade" some
earnest Christian woman Ill a
place in northern Pennsylvania
went to the chief saloon keeper of
the place, and said:
1--WE want you to look at the
names on the head-stones in our
graveyard, and count the young
men who have gone there from
drink sold by you. Is it not
about time that you should stop
this business?" The Saloon keep
er pointing to a lie nse hanging
on the wall, answered. There is
the authority for my business,
and whatever may be the result,
I'll sell it if / go to hell with my
whole family. Get out of this
place. She went her way, leav-
ing the saloon-keeperin in the hands
of God. Two weeks from that
time the eldest son went out of
the world fighting demons in de-
lirium tremens. Two months la
ter another son was run over by a
railroad train and brought home
dead. Three month later his
wife d;eI il a lunatic asylum. A

Of his hoys was brought home on

A Sight Of Fnn.

A Fort Buford correspondent
of the Chicago Times says:
A gallant captain of the 5th In
fantry, on a notable occasion, at
tempted to coerco a mule which
had backed up against his tent on
wild and stormy night to secure
some slight protection from the
whirling blasts. The mule was
an old offender, and was cotinual-
ly wandering about the camp
after night.
Upon this occasion he backed
up against the tent, and the light
inside permitted an accurate rear
view of the animal as his shadow
fell on the canvass. The Captain
was entertaining party of friends
that is to say, they were Swap
ping lies" as the boys call it, and
when he caught sight of the mule
he picked up pine board and, re-
marking to his visitors. "Now
we will have some fun, boys"
leveled a full and fair blow at the
animal. The aim had evidently
been true, the shadow was seen to
move on the canvass, and then an
awful tearing sound, and a pair of
mule heels made themselves dis
tinctly visible to the assemble
crowd. The mule cotinued the
kicking process until he had torn,
in shreds the objective side of the
tent selected for his attack, and
his heels reached far enough to
enable him to encounter the
stove.
The boys adjourned for the eve
ming and one of the officers, in
quitting the tent with a reason
able degree of CELEBRITY, remarked
profanely:
eyes we've had a d-m sight
o fun"
The officer who assaulted the
mule was given other quarters
that night, and in the following
day purchased tarpaulin with
which to repair his domicile.

4 WEDDING BEHINDTHE BARS.
A Pretty Quaker City Girl Unites Her
Fortunes with Those of Convicted
Burglar.


i webbing behind the bars of
the county Jail at Now Castle, says
a Wilmington, D5l., special Of
Nov. 20, is the absorbing topic for
gossipers in that WALLACE. The
marriage is peculiarly romantic
one, the bride being Miss Gussie
Turner, pretty and yivacious girl
living on Broad street, Philadel-
phia, and the groom, Charles D.
Blake, notorious burglar who is
serving out three years term for
robbing the house of Jacob Pussy,
of this city. He had previously
served two terms in Pennsylvania
prison for burglary. When arraing.
ed for trial for his last crime, u
sister to the prisoner sat near the
dock, while in the rear Of the
court room sat Miss Turner,
watching with intense interest the
proceedings. In addition 30 his
sentence Of three years, Blake wasn
sentenced to receive thirty lashes,
but at the earnest pleading Of ths
convicts sweetheart the Governor
remitted the lashing.
Since that time the girl has been
frequent visitor to the Jail, bring
ing delicacies to her lover. Her
lady-like appearance and gentlS
manner won the goodwill of the
prison officials, and she was allow.
ed unusual privileges. She
availed herself of the oppor-
tunities to smuggle tools into the
cell, which Blake made use of to
escape, the second time being sric-
cessful, and getting as far as Phil
adelphia, where he went on a spree
and was recaptured. Miss Turn
er was then rigidly prohibited
from seeing Blake except in the
presence of a guard. A few days
ago she inquired whether, il she
became the wife of tho prisoner.
she would be permitted to visis
him alone. She was told that she
would, and at once expressed her
wish to be united with him. Blake
was equally anxious, and Mayor
Black finally performed the cere-
mony that made them man ana
wife. The usual bridal tour WAS
deferred, but Warden Hance gem
erously served a wedding supper
in the cell, and, notwithstanding
their gloomy surroundings, the
couple appeared to be perfectly
happy. Blake is a handsome fell
low of 30 and the bride is tea
years his junior. Miss. Blake re-
turned to Philadelphia after ths
ceremony, but every few day she

Strange Freaks of Nature.

A writer in the Newman Herald
says: AS matter of some public
Importance I will give a brief
sketch of some strange freaks of
nature in a family not many miles
away from our town. The father
is confined to his room, from
which all light is excluded. His
sight is so sensitive that he can
not endure the light for a mo-
ment, hence his roottt is kept con
stantly closed, and he Iever ven
lures out under any circumstances.
This has been his condition for a
number of years. 1t is stated that
he married his neice. One son
and two of their daughters are
deaf and dumb, and are living
with him. He remains mostly
alone, and when he needs attention
he has stick with a piece of red
cloth tied to one epd, and runs
that stick through hole in the
side of the house, which the
daughters seeing come to his re-
lief. Are this afflicted offspring
the result of inter-marriage be-
tween blood relations? Observa-
ton of many years in regard to
similar cases induce me to favor
such theory.

OUR REPORTER RUMINATES.

1t is surprising to think of the
number of men in our country
who do not think it is necessary
to pay their debts. The disposi-
ton to shirk and dodge and
"deadbeat" seems to be constantly
increasing. The practice of taking
protection under some bubble of
the law whereby property is vest
ed IN the wife--better known as
the "petticoatlaw"-is daily gain
ing popularity. In serving out
our apprenticeship at the trade we
have had quite an amount of col
lecting to do, and were brought
almost constantly in contract with
that class of men who run on the
credit system. We are panied and
surprised to find SO many men
who seem to feel under no NOR
al obligation to pay their debts.
1t is not uncommon to meet
with men who wear good clothes
drive fine horses, smoke frst-class
cigars, play good game of bill
liards, and drink the very best
whiskey, out of whom it is impos-
sible to collect a debt. If you
present claim for payment they
will receive you in a naughty, dig
nified way, and tell you, between
the puffs of their HAVANA, that
it is impossible for them to pay
just now, and if you talk about su-
ing, they tell you i'll a patronizing
way that it would be useless ex-
pense as their property all belongs
to their wives. Yet when you
hear them on the street corners
with their chums, it is always "my
house" or "my farm" or "my cot
ton" We confess frankly that we
am very much out of patience
with such humbuggery. 1t is
right and proper to protect the
women and children, but when
the ample folds of the petticoat
are used to cover up rascallity and
shield vagabonds, in the name of
honesty as well as in behalf of
the good women who are thus
slandered, we cry out against it!
To say the least of it, it is provok-
ing. There is enough money
spent in this county every year
for tobacco, cigars and whiskey to
pay the people out of debt. For
honesty's sake let us turn over a
new leaf and do better. The hab-
it of not paying debts is becom-
ing an epidemic, and this very
habit is shaking the foundation of
public confidence and credit.

Upon inquiring of several of
orr business men the condition of
our farmers, we gather the en-
couraging intelligence that it is
constantly growing better. Real
izing the ruinous policy of debt,
our farmers are buying on time
less every year and paying more
promptly for that which is bought.
AS an indication of their gradual
return to the ways of the times
that were, we are told that there
will be more home-raised bacon
made this year than in any year
since the war. We learn of one
farmer who kill near 5000 pounds,
and a number of others will make
plenty to sell. These are encour-
aging facts that evince the dawn
of q brighter day, If our farmers
could now be convinced Of the
tyranny of King Cotton and per-
suaded of the better plan of diver
sity of crops, Terrell would soon
be the banner county of the State.
