Thomas and Jacob Keil, belonging to the

1T might be supposed that one of the last
things in the world susceptible of theft would
be the wooden Indian that stands sentinel at
every cigar store in the land. These as W ell
as barber poles have long enjoyed an i'm
munity from those who fail to discriminate
between meum and tnum, but this, it seems,
is forever ended. One OF those wooden Red
men was few days ago stolen from Harris
burg cigar store and shipped by express to
Taneytown, Nd. 1t is pleasure to be able
to report that in this instance prompt detec-
ton followed this base act 1t is bad enough
to run away with bank funds, or another
mans wife; but when it comes to clipping
with wooden Indian, it is high time that
halt be called. lfsome legislator at Harris
burg desires to earn laurel crown for him
self, let him introduce prohibitory act aimed
at this manner of villainy.

LANCASTER, APRIL /, 1885.
The New York POstOilice.

The president has reappointed Mr.. Pear
son to be postmaster of New York, ard
the fact is considered to be of great signifi-
canoe, in that it is the reappointing of a
Republican ofllce-holder by a Democratic
president. The reasons governing the
presidents course have not been stated,
and, until they are, a conclusion as to its
wisdom can not well be made. There is
no doubt whatever that the appointment,
under the light now shed upon it, do not
have the hearty approval of the Democratic
party. If it is simply sporadic act, done
to satisfy the demand of the very intluen-
tial Republican element in New York
city which loudly called for it, it will have
little political significance and is not wor-
thy of any protest from the Democratic
party. This is what we understand it to
be, and therefore we do not think it at all
worth while to get excited over it. IL the
president desires to re-appoint one Repub-
lican office-holder, to still the clamor
Of Republicans who supported him
and who demanded this gift from
him, it matters little that lie has
gratified his wish and theirs. But
if he purposes to reappoint to nhu
ential positions Republicans, who have
done their duty in their places, the policy
is one which the Democratic party vii
not acquiesce in. 1t thinks it right tina
Democrats shall be selected to take up ex

An observant writer in New York paper
remarks the increasing number of English
noblemen who are turning their attention to
business. There was time when it was con-
sidered far beneath the blue blood OF the
Britain to be known as tradesmen, but that
period seems to have passed away. Lord Yer
non IS a dairyman Lord Durham retails
Goals; and the Earl of Shrewsbury owns a
system of hanson cabs in London that has
proved very lucrative. Aristocracy in its
true sense means the best people, those who
by their training are best qualified for the
affairs of state; it is a good sign, therefore,
when those who need not work devote them.

About Sam Jones.


Rev. Sam Jones was o poor boy, raised
right here among US, q wild, rafting chap
that nearly everybody had ten hard words
for to every good one spoken in his behalf.
He wa the very synonym Of mischief and
sudscity, with q modieum of sharp, native
wit, that has grown with his growth in sue
eeediDg years. He cared precious little
about his books, as our experience will test
fy in q short term of pupilage in our school
directly after the surrender. To his credit
We will say he never forgot his respect or
obedience to US, and an earnest request or q
calm statement of the case would cause him
to desist from victimizing the smaller boys
with his tobacco juice or from playing
clown in the p~antomime on the sly, during
school hours, which was q never ceasing
temptation to his keen sense of the ridicu-
lous. His good nature always cropped out
when suffering or trouble were present
The writer viii never forget q visit he
made to rs in the most rafting period of
his boyhood to tell Us he was thankful and
eomforted to know we were e~onvslescing
from serious illness in which our life had
been despsired Of, and even at the time
mentioned we we're not fairly out of danger
Of an early and untimely grave. The
weather was severe, bitter, extremely cold,
but the youpgmsn brought his frank, bright
face into the sick room ike q veritsble ray
of sunshine, to tell III that our schoolboys
were all 90 glad we were still alive. There
was in him the germ of something noble

at q little country chapel, we felt that the
germ would expand into something that
would be peculiarly his oWn-he would either

Eight years ago, when be was pegging
away on q little poor circuit, he came again
to see Us, to paw his respects to the late
Gov. Stephens. We watched the two, as
Mr.. Stephens rolled to and fro on the back
yersnds, in his invalid chair, and listened
to Sans description Of 9 dog fight that had
fallen under his observation. There was Q
magnetism in both that quickly found play,
and after the visitors retired Mr.. Stephens
wss very eulogistic. He inquired infinitely
into his history and predicted q future from
