The "knock Out" System.

"From time to time" says the PAIL
Mall Gazette, "stories concerning the
system prevailing at book auctions,
and known as the Knockout, arise to
startle the public and dismay the COLI
lector. One such story is at present
current: At a recent sale at Leaning;
ton a copy of Nichols History and
Antiquities of the County of Leicester
was, it is stated, sold for twelve pounds
in the auction-room, and resold in the
Knockout for a hundred and thirty
pounds. Some of our leading book
sellers are said to have been concerned
in this dishonorable and knavish trans.
action. Comment upon it is super
Huous. One thing at least the biblio-i

self-Possession and Ability.

Self-possession is something apart
from ability. 1t is more in n direc-
ton and less in another. Many per-
sons of great abilities are painfully
lacking in self-possession, and others
of very small powers are rarely at a
loss. 1t comes rather through a fair
degree of self-knowledge and a practi-
cal exercise of those abilities, great or
small, which we do possess. Our own
experience shows us this. Most of us
are self-possessed in at least one direc-
ton, and that we shall find to be the
CASE in which we have had the most
constant practice and the best oppor-
%tunities OF testing ourselves. The me-
chanic or business man or woman,
or artist OF philosopher, may be
undecided, vacillating, constrained
and i'll at ease in general society, or in
political circles, or in a hundred other
situations, but in their respective en-
Payments or in matters closely con-
nected with them, they at once assume
q calm and assured manner that tells
of their regained self-possesslon.--.Boa-

Grievances of Husbands and Wives.

Kate Jones. if her husband Oscars divorce
complaint is to remain undisputed, entered upon
married life with very extravagant notions as to
her rights and privileges. Their marriage took
place in May, this year, and week or two later
they separated. Oscar sets forth a long array
OF grievances the principal one being that Kate
was abusive, offensive and oppressive. He says
she would leave him for days at time without
permission, and on her return would give no ac-
count of where she had been. Instead of endear-
ments, she always greeted him with what he
calls mountains of insuferable abuse" Oscar
probably intmated that he would have to apply
for divorce. for he states she told him to do So
saying: 'I'd rather live with dog than live
with YOU want you to get divorce, so as to
leave me free to do as please" He claims that
she was trying to drive him to do violence to
her, so she could retaliate by doing him up"
Mary Grassland complains in her appeal for
divorce that Jesse left her in May, 1881 They
have been married thrty-fo four years. the cere-
mony occurring in Lowell, Mass. Since Jesse
abapdoned his wife she has heard nothing, di-
rectly or indirectly, from him. Where he is she
cannot say
Elizabeth Wilson's claim for divorce is based
upon frequent abuse. Day before yesterday
she alleges, her husband, Henry, wel-to-do
farmer Of this county, violently assaulted her
with club causing her serious injury. They
were married in May. 1880. She wants So. 900 ali
lnony and the custody of their three children, and
fearing that Henry would dispose of his property
pending suit she asked for restraining order
against him, which Judge Howe granted tempo

THE INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL is rec

maintain this undisputed excellence and to
increase the value and interest Of the paper.
THE JOURNAL was never SO well equipped
to serve the public. Our arrangements for

ana that prints regularly the full reports of
the Western Associated Press, which are now
more comprehensive than ever, covering the
whole world. These dispatches are supple

at all the principal cities and towns of the
State and of the county at large. We have d
special resident representative at Washington
capital with vigilance, paying particular at
tention to that which most nearly concerns
THE JOURNALS constituency. The full
est and most reliable intelligence from Wash
ington will be presented in our news columns,
free from party bias, .impartially, and without
restraint.
Editorially THE JOURNAL is Repub-

general policy of the Republican party; but it

be assured of seeing in the columns of THE
JOURNAL the fullest and fairest presentation
of the news, and in its editorial columns such
comment and structures as will command his

prepared for them, while the paper will be SO
conducted as to prove welcome visitor in the
household. The news will be presented IN
such shape as to minimize the evil, and it's
