-I've got an idea"
Here the conversation got so low
that could not catch more than an
occasional word, and what that idea
was | never found out, as he never got
the chance to try it on me, for had
heard enough TO know that next door
to me were three of the most daring
conspirators l had ever come across,
who had duped me, and made me,
though unwitLingly, the chief actor in
the conspiracy My first idea was to
lock the door of the room they were in
and 60 for help but as that was like
ly to cause a disturbance, l determined
to slip out and trust to being back in
time for their arrest. As luck would
have it, nearly the first man I met out.
side was a Diet sctive, whom had
known very we'll in connection with
some criminal trials in which l had
been engaged. A few words explained
my purpose /; and signaling 20 the near
est policeman he placed him at the door
of the shop and both of us walked in.
He nodded familiarly to the bartender
and leaning oyer the counter, whispered
in his ear. The shopmAn started and
gaye vent to long, low whistle.
"You'll do it as quietly as you can,
for the credit of the house." said he.
"Of course" said the detective.
"Show us in"
In another minute we were inside
the room, with our backs to the door,
the detective dangling pair of steel
bracelets and nodding smilingly round
the room. The woman tainted. We
had no difficulty in securing the men !;
and in half an hour we had them safe
ly housed in Jail.
Before their trial came on, we had
worked out the whole story. The wo-
man who had called on me and signed
the will was Mrs. Simpson, Miss How
ards housekeeper, the mother Of Simp-
son in whose favor the will was made !;
and the other man was lawyers clerk
who had suggested to them the feasi-
bility of such scheme. The fact Of
Miss Howard's self. confinement and
my own imprudence had nearly made
the plot a success, but for my accident
al recognition Of the house-keeper.
Each of the prisoners offered to turn
Queens evidence but, as we had no
difficulty in proving the case, this was
refused, and they were sentenced to
various periods of penal servitude. l
had then the pleasure of handing over
the estate to the rightful heir, young
Edward Howard, who, notwithstand-
ing that had nearly been the means Of
depriving him of his inheritance, made
me his agent.
The estate turned out to be much
larger than had at first thought, as |
succeeded in proving that large num-
ber of investments in Simpsons name
really belonged to Miss Howard. and
the management of so large property
fairly put me on my feet as regards
business. l have had many good eli.
ents since then. but I have often
thought that my Yelled Client was my
best one, as she was the means of Civ.
ing me my first lesson in prudence, and
my first start In life.

"THE COMING SLAVERY,

Herbert Spencer dealt the worst
blow yet received by the comm1nis-
tic doctrines of George ct al. when
he showed that obedience to them
would inaugurate a new era of slav-
cry differing from former ones only
so far as that thesoh service would
be paid to a new master. While in
the countries of the old world this
exposition has peculiar interest, it is
not without warning to us. ..
The first form of government orig
mated in obedience to the head of a
family, and this degenerated finally
into practical slavery to a despotic
king who owned the land as wei as
those who lived thereon. The cities
of Greece tieuriahed under a govern
ment which contained many good
features, hut was prevented from
further development by the necessi-
ty of perpetual warfare. At last
when a league somewhat ike onrs
had been formed, the Roman step,
ped IN and extipguished the last pos
sibility+of amy republic not based on
their warlike model for many centu-
ries. The end of the soldier govern
ment of the Eternal City might
have been predicted as certainly as
the fate of the despotic monarchies
of Asia, and the attempt of certain
European nations to limit the power
of the monarch by the elevation of a
privileged class is now a demonstra-
ted failure. d n -
Why may the student hope that
ours contains no seed Of death in
this age when a-nicrobe is foand in
so many bodies ? Because we have
built our structure on new foun-
dation, so vthat, if we fail, our rise
and fanIwilI furnish yet another mile
stone-on the road of human progress
to warn coming generations that a
new departure must be taken. Ma

take the'liberty Of stating that the
letter to the Winnipeg Sun repub-
lished in our columns Yesterday is
from the graphic pen of our valued
fellow-citizen David Young, Esq,
of Interlaehen, late of Manitoba,
Canada. Mr.. Young came among
MS for his health, but fell in love
with our county and state and is so
thoroughly in earnest that he has al
ready a promising young orange
grove of one hundred acres which is
being continually enlarged. He
will now write a series of letters for
the benefit of his former neighbors,
which we hope TO republish that our
citizens may know how they will be
viewed in Canada The opinions of
such man are as valuable tons as
to strangers, and to them we invite
the careful attention of our readers.

Unwilling to Make a showing.
AUREL ARNAUD.

The New Orleans States says: "The
most serious difficulty encountered by
the Executive Committee OF the citizens
movement to reopen the Exposition, is
the failure and unwillingness Of the old
Board Of Management to make a state
ment and showing of the financial con-
dition of the Exposition. There is a
very general desire on the part of the
public, who have right to know, what
have been the total gate receipts, the
sums received for privileges, for entry
fees, and commissions on sales. The
only information the Board of Manage
ment have deigned to give, so far. was
The amount Of their indebtedness to
creditors outside Of Louisiana; and this
had to be extorted from them by the
Federal Government. The mystery
surrounding the financial affairs OF the
Exposition creates such distrust in the
community that it discourages citizens,
in measure, from contributing as they
would otherwise freely do.R

The Fort Worth (Texas) Gazette
says: "The punishment Of crime is a
duty which society owes to itself from
every consideration looking to its well
being. To the extent which it is dis
regarded must the social fabric suffer.
Leniency extended to one offender may
imperil hundreds who are guiltless.
There is, there can be, no safety beyond
infractions, while they may seem en-
tirely harmless at first, are but the
precursors to dangerous neglect and
tolerance of crime"

PORTE BARRE, June 95th, 1885


Mr.. EDITOR:
Please allow me small place in your
columns to refute a malicious SANDER
by which your Washington correspond
emit is attempting to- cast discredit upon
the late officials of the agricultural de-
partment at Washington. In his letter
of. the Both of May, he says:
"The original intent of Congress- in
appropriating money for the distribu-
tiOn OF seeds, was to buy rare grains be-
yOnd the reach Of ordinary agrlcultur-
lists and so distribute them as to I'M
prove the character of our crops. In
stead of this, however, the recent Com
missioner bought for free distribution
ordinary seeds to be found in every seed
store in the country. The true charac-
ter of these common seeds was hidden
under high sounding names, etc., etc"
These charges are unfounded We
have, my brother and myself, during
the past few years, received several lots
of seed for distribution, which have all
proven to be Of fine and superior quality,
such as cannot be bought IN ordinary seed
stores. I received small lot last
fall which has given SO much satisfac-
ton that urgent requests have lately
been made upon me to apply for more.
"Give the devil his DUE"
Yours ever,
AUREL ARNAUD.
