CAUGHT BY AN OLD TRICK.
"ferhaps the most vicious case know
OF, though" the cigar man continued,
happened in a Vermont town. A man
who kept fancy goods store was called
upon by travelling salesman who wanted
reasonable terms. The shopkeeper's stock
was low, and besides that the salesman
uldh't want any notes or money until the
goods were delivered. He thought he
would be perfectly safe in giving the or

quite common, in cases where the dealer
is unknown TO the salesman, for the lat
ter to ask the dealer to sign the order
himself. The dealer agreed an this case
70 do so, and the salesman in a very of
hand manner, said: "Here's a pencil;
this will do" at the same time handing
MN rather Old-lOOking idelible pencil.
The fancy goods man signed. month

that his note was due. He didn't remem-
Der having given any, but an in
vestigatlon showed that the paper
on which the order was written
had been chemically prepared,
and the signature had been carried
through to the note, which had been con-
cealed beneath. The salesman had
found it necessary to trace it
over, as 1t was originally too faint to go
through the bank, and a microscopic ex-
animation showed the ragged lines of the
tracing very clear. In view of these cir
cumstanees the fancy goods man declined
10 pay it, and, so far as l know, he never
had to do so. These statesmen are good
fellows, but you have got to watch 'em.

How Jackson was Captured.



Post Office Inspector Booth returned
yesterday from Los Angeles, Cal, where
he captured VIII X. Jackson, the default
ing assistant postmaster at Americas, Ga.
The story OF his fight and capture has
never before been published. and is very
interesting. He took several hundred dol
lars from registered letters and about
$1,000 worth Of post office orders and pos
tai notes. He cashed about 5000 worth Of
notes, sent his brother in Montgomery a
small portion OF the money, and fed. The
post Office authorities learned OF this, and
arrested the latter on the charge Of being
implicated in the theft. He was placed in
Jail at Montgomery, but, becoming tired Of
confinement. betrayed his elder brother 10
secure his release. He stated his brother
had fed % the West and assumed the name
Of Jack Jones. Like sleuth hound the
shrewd post Office inspector followed
Jackson 10 New Orleans, thence through
Texas 10 III Paso. There they lost sight
Of him for short time. and when they
next heard OF him he was at Tuscon, Ari-
zona. From that place he went 70 Los
Angeles and was captured on n telegram
by a deputy marshal. He stoutly denied
his identity, and applied for writ OF
habeas corpus, which was not granted.
When Inspector Booth arrived jackson
still denied that he was the person want
ed and made a number Of contradictory
statements regarding bis former resi-
dence. JncksOn's assumed name. which
his brother betrayed. led 10 his capture.
Whenever be applied for mail addressed
20 Jack Jones, the Postmaster, who had
been previously notified, would telegraph
the inspectors, and In this way be was
tracked. Jackson was turned over 10
United states Marshal Drew, Of Calif0r-
MIA. who viii convex him 70 Amerisus.

PRESIDENT Eliot's Curiosity Aroused.


President Eliot, Of Harvard college, is
a man of marked ability as an executive
officer. He is weak on the scholarly side.
His communication to the world that
Gen. Grant had never heard of Oliver
Twist reminds me of rather good story
on himself, the authenticity Of which /
can vouch for.
When BOnamy Price, professor Of polit-
cal economy at Oxford, was being enter
tanned in Cambridge, Price and Eliot
were thrown together at dinner. Bona
my, who was an intolerable bore, and on
bis old hobby, "The Basis Of Civiliza-
ton, What Was it3" loudly declared
that the only one who had successfully
answered the question was young girl
of Cambridge, Eng. So that ! may arouse
no unnecessary curiosity, let me say at
once the answer to Prof. Prices eOnuu-
drum was simply this: progressive De-
sire" But valuable or not, Price did not
choose to divulge the wonderful answer
on the occasion in question. he merely
prOpOunded 1t as something every one
should know. The Boston men laughed I'M
easily, as il TO say, "Oh, yes, we know
it," and the subject Of conversation sud-
denly changed.
The next day President Eliot sought
out Price, and after little conversation,
began in an embarrassed way to breach
something.
Prof. Price, was much interested in
the turn the conversation took last even
ing
No answer from Price except slight
raising OF the eyebrows.
"Nou spoke, believe, OF a young lady,
who, who"
A downward look from Price.
"Wh0 successfully answered the ques-
tion, what was the true Lasis OF ciyili-
zati0n?
Price nodded IN the affirmative.
81 forgot to ask you about it at the
time" continued Eliot in the agony Of his
literary pride, ''but have been haunted
by the idea all night. Would you mind
telling me what is the true basis OF civil
ization?'
"NO. sir" answered Bonamy, prompt

Dallas Herald, According to MT Reagan, there are three classes in the east who demand the cessation of silver coiuage-the bankers, the bondholders and those people wlIh fixed incomes Silver stricken down. the volume of the currency is bv so much contra cted and gold and national bank notes by so mnch enhanced in value, hence the advantage to the banks. The vol ume of the currency contrated, the inc bonds are that much more dlt- fcult to pay, and gold being the only agent for their payment De- comes by just so much more va'u. able, while. a greater scarcity o' money increases its value ana therefore the value of fixed in comes.

Bill Arp, of Georgia, thus chats: ''The whole economy of life is in
 little things. The farmer thinks his cotton bales big thing. and struts around them with pride, but the profit that Is in them don t amount to much. His wife has saved him much more money by
 her year s uuprctenting work. A long time ago, when I was boy, my mother eXpcrimentcd i'll small way with some silk worms and made q little sum of money, and she was very proud of her success. It cost my father nothing and not much of my mothers time-she reeled few pounds of silk and sold it for six dollars pound. And so my father thought the silk bus mess big thing and lie sent off and got cuttings from the Morus
 Multi Caulis mulberry snd in a year or two they were all ready tor tue silk worms, and he built him two story house and filled It full of racks and hudles, and 1t took my brother and me and all hands to attend to them. It was a nasty business and wore us all out, tor when the worms got hungry and began to cruise around for break fast they had to be fed all over. So after awhile the mulberrles were stripped and the worms were still hungry, and my brother amt my self had to get up before day ev- cry morning and go five miles to another orchard after leaves and get back by sunrise, and Il wore us out, but we worried through with it anG then when the cacoons were all make, we had another hi- thy job reeling off the silk in hot weather, and we made one nun

themillcEuiaDl. Entrance to heav' en is not, as is commonly thought, based on faith, bat on works.
 Joe Smith was true prophet, who not only called attention to the true meaning of the Scriptures, but supplemented them by q full. CT revelation. The preacher him. self claimed to be inspired. He would give us, not ''ideas,' but truths, revelations. If at any time he should wish to give his own ideas or speculations, he would tell us that they were his own, likewise all he said would be revelation which we were bound to accept. The true believers ac- cepts not ideas that address the reason, but revelation which Is known by immediate intuition. It is not matter of argument; it has risen wholly above that. He closed by an allusion to Gen. Grant as a man universally honored, not for his faith, but for his works.
 The flight of so many prominent poiygamists to escape the officers of the law is a sore trial to the faith of many of tho laity. The crlses of this matter is evidently upon us. The leaders have ar par ently committed themselves irrevo- cably to uncompro missing resis' tance. The appeals, such as male to-day, will kindle the fanaticism of the people. Should the govern ment stop proceeding or falter till the vile system Is eXtirpated the poor deluded wretches who have been gathered from all Europe will regard the victory as a direct in- terposition of God in behalf of their divinely inspired leaders. Rebellion will be exalted to vlr- tue, lust consecratcd as religion. criminals will be canonlzed, tue government condemned, and this valley be given over for centuries to be the foul breeding place oI error and corruption.
 | Should tue government adhere kindly, but sternly, to it's present policy, adopting whatever means may be necessary fur the complete accomplishment Of it's righteous pcrposc, it will secure it's own pros peiity, advance the cause of a true Christian civilization, and will hl and by receive the blessing of th( children whose lathers it now pun ishcs.

Money means bread and every good thing. Money sets the spend thrift at the top of the hill without climbing, and enables him to coast down to the bottom. But some body has toiled to the top for him; for money means somebody s sweat; money is the product oi somebody's carefulnoss and self denial. Every niclllo stands for so much toll and so much pain. The money in your hands is, therefore, a sacred trust. If you got it. by the outlay of your strength, you may have right to use it for your own good, but you have no right to waste or misuse it. If it cane to you as a gift or an inheritan ce, then you are entrusted with the result of anotber's labors and painstaking, and if you waste it you wrong the living or the dead hand that provided it for you Ex.

Enough is known of the vote cast in the late Congressional election in the Third District to assure the election of Hon T C Me
 Rae by a very handsome majority wh ilc the vote is smaller than usu- al as i9 nearly always the case in special elections, the Democratic vote is greater proporu onately than it was last year. McRae has held his own everywhere and has several counties that gave maJorl- ties for Mitchell in 1881, The noble
 Democracy of the Third district
 have redeemed their promises and are worthy of all praise. With sin gular unanimity and great enthusl- asm they urged the election of James K. Jones to the United States Senat e, rledging the De
 nOCIdCy oi Aihailo"o eo 0io"' Democrat as his successor. Right nobly have they kept that pledge. They did well to urge the election of Jones to the Senate; they have done well to give their votes to McRae. He will prove a worthy successor to Jones. Young, ambi- tious, well informed, a hard student a most capable and faithful man in whatever he has attempted, he will prove a most vauablo acQisi- ton to our congressional delega' tion. The Democrat predicts for
 him a long and honorable career in Congress-. Arkansas Democrat
