tiOns TO Its Archives.

of letters of regret from Gems. Sibley and
j. w. Bishop, Commander W. II. Brown,

acter of the men whose memory it preserved
and on the glorious work they and their
comrades had accomplished. X. V. Pratt,
commander of the post, followed with an
address accepting the donation and giving
the history of the enterprise. also num-
Der of facts regarding the history OF the
post.
The post represented II states, 14T different
organizations and nearly every bTanch ana
rank of the army service. 1t was organized
April s. 1870. with 40 charter members, II.
A. Castles name being the first to appear on
the roll. From June Is, 1877. to Feb. 9,

GRIBBLE WINS AGAIN.
He Yesterday Again Won His Case
Againsr the Pioneer Press.

Against the Pioneer PRESS.
The suit was brought to recover $40, 900
for damages to the plaintiffs character and
for the injury done to his feelings by the
publication in the Pioneer Press of language
alleged to be libelous. The arguments to
the jury were both concluded Monday
night and yesterday morning Judge Wilkin
delivered his charge to the jury. The
charge did not differ much from those usu-
ally given in libel suits. The court gave a
clear and concise statement of the law of
libel and Of what constituted libel and how
far parties would be justified in making use
of harsh expressions, such as might be libel
Gus under certain circumstances and not
libelous under other circumstances. The
testimony was not discussed at any great
length, barely enough to make plain the ap-
plication of the law. After being out an
hour or two the jury returned with YER
dict against the defendant and assessed the
damages for the plaintiff at IS, 600.

STREET SAYINGS.

A Seventh street grocer tells how an un-
sophisticated customer good-naturedly took
advantage of his generosity few days ago.
The customers name was Tom and he went
in to pay his grocery bill, which amounted
to little more than three dollars. When
the account had been balanced the grocery
man thought it was his treat and says: tom,
won't you have cigar?" and reaching into
the cigar case, he brought forth handful
of fine Henry Clay's and held them out for
Tom to take one from.
''Waal, now," drawled Tom, eyer see
it faint VERY often l gifts segars ter smoke
an don't keer much erbout em as er rule,
but l don't mind takfn these home an
breakin' 'em up ter smoke in me pipe" and
reaching out he laid hold of the handful of
cigars and tucked them down into his
pocket The greceryman couldn't help
smiling at the mans good nature, but he
made no attempt to figure the profits on the
bill just paid.

J. c. Gill, chairman of the board of
county commissioners of CasS county, OAK,
was at the Merchants yesterday. He says
schemes are growing on every bush in the
territory now. He didn't think the terri
tory would be divided during this session of
congress, and thought if thesland grant was
taken from the North Pacific road it would
injure the territory almost beyond compre-
hension.

Capt Maloney, Grand Forks, who holds
the same rank in Dakota that Maj. George
A. Camp does in Minnesota, as weather

asked as to the weather for this winter he
said, SIT will be the finest for winter car

A PITrsBURG Judge delivered a sensi.
BILE lecture in favor of temperance, and
one which other judges could repeat
with good effect. A convicted robber
was brought before the Court for
sentence, when the guilty man pleaded
that when he committed the crime he
was drunk. WELL said the Judge,
II had intended to give you two years.
but as you say you confess to being
drunk when the crime was committed,
/ will add six months more to your
sentence" and he did. 1t is about time
that people freed themselves of the
sentimental idea about drunkenness
being an excuse for mlsdeeds; on the
contrary, intoxication should be
regarded as an aggraYation rather than
an extenuation; it is itself crime, and
merits an increase rather than lessen
ing of the punishment. A different
view has been taken by courts, but the
were wrong, and when they reverse the
thing, and punish for the drunk as well
as for the offense committed while the
prisoner was intoxicated, there NAV be
less intemperance in the world.

THE coLoRED men of Pennsylvania
have newspaper organ, the Philadel-
phia Sentinel, and its editor seems to be
anything but a fool who can be bam-
boozled by the Republican politicians
and demagogues. The Sentinel vigor-
ously combats the John Sherman idea
that the Congressional representation
in the south should be reduced to the
basis of the white population upon the
foolish theory that the .colored people
are practically DISTINGUISHED, and there
fore the whites have a double represeu-
tation. The Sentinel says: "Ostensibly
the bloody shirt is waved for black
men; in reality it is for white men. who
have lost power. As long as power
rested with these men, the negro could
suffer the tortures of the damned for all
they cared, but when the power is torn
rom their grasp, he is made hobby
horse by which to gain the favor of tue
people" Nor is this Sherman idea al
al popular in the south. In Virginia

ion of the proposition to disfranchise

THERE ARE several cases Of diphtheria
in the city, and instead of it subs;ding
We understand that the disease is
actually increasing. 1t is said that in
more than one instance where persons
haveb been attacked, the disease has been
traced directly to the houses of
the afflicted, or to contact with
children who have recovered and re-
sumed association with their playmates:
The quarantine in these cases has evil
IDENTIFY been raised too soon. There is
no question as to the terribly conta-
gious character. of the, disease, hence
the quarantine should be strict and
maintained as long as there is the rea-
sonabls possibility of the germs being
alive. Parents can do more efficient
service to the public in this matter than
can the. quarantine physician. It's
almost criminal TO permit children or
Others from an infected house to mlngle
with well people.
