An Account Kept somewhere.

Active reformers. whose business il is to
persuade men, are commonly very quick TO
find a text in the most trifing circum-
stances. The connection between FAC
count and accountability was ingen-
iously taken up and made use Of in the fol-
lowing instance:
1t is related Of the celebrated DR.. Jewett
that in the course of his travels he once en-
tered a country tavern and sat down by
the bar-room fire TO warm his fingers.
His keenly rowing eye soon discovered
prominent over rows Of bottles with highly
colored contents, in large letters, the in
seription: mo credit given here" Turn
ing to the landlord Ito whom he was per-
sonally unknown he said. 'All, see
you bring people square up tn the mark
here,'i
Yes" replied the landlord; Its NJ use
to trust rum-customers nowadays. We
must get it as We 90 along or never get
it,"
Jewett warmed his fingers awhile, and
then, turning to the landlord. said:
Il think | could add a line or two TO
your inscription that would make it very
nice
"What would you add ?" inquired the
landlord.
Give me a pen and a piece Of paper,
and l will show YOU"
Walk into the bar, there's a pen and
ink, help yourself" The doctor walked
into the ba-, and taking mp the pen, wrote
as follows:
NO credit given here.
And yet I've cause to fear
That there's a day book Ike t in heaven,
Whore charge is made and credit given"
Laying down the pen and leaving the
lines, he walked to the fire. and again sat
down, expecting an explosion; The land
lord went behind the counter and read
what he had written. A pause of some
minutes ensued, when the doctor, glaneing
around, was to his great pleasure, and
somewhat to his surprise, from the init
nations of d%ampness about the eyes of the
landlord .-conyinced that he had driven a
nail in a sure place. A word fifty spoken,
how good it is.-ProhiJition 1dcocate.

A RAILROAD SUIT
In ainnsSota-An Important DscIIIOn Rsn.
dSEed Yesterday,

ST. PAUL, MINI, OF. S-The Sup'eme
Court of Minnesota rendered a decision in
the suit of the St. Paul & Sioux City rail-
road company against F. S. Mcdonald and
Frank Slocum, Auditor and Treasurer re-.
spectively of Hennepin county, unfayor-
able to the road. The case is test one,
involving the taxation OF 100000 acres OF
land, portion of the grant OF the St. Paul
4 Sioux City, valued at the time Of their
disposal at S2,4O0OO0. About 1871 the
company issued what was known as the
special preferred stock, or land stock, Civ
ing 10 each holder OF common stock a
share OF special for each share OF common.
The railroad has always claimed that
the land was simply given as security
on money advanced By the stockholders
to increase its capital, While the State, in
its rrg1ment, held that the disposition OF
the lands in the the above manner had
the effect OF direct sale and Conveyance
to the stockholders, and that therefore the
lands were taxable.
Some time since the District Court Of
Hennepin county granted perpetual in
junction restraining the collection Of taxes
On the land in question. This has been
set aside and new trial granted by the
Supreme Court on the ground that there
was no evidence TO show that there was
from the corporation to the
without which the ruling Of
he lower court is invalid.

duty OF every man Of whataVer party to

fraud or violence to deprive the American
citizen Of his ballot and voting for his

The education OF the illiterRte was the

skating rink as a professional boxer, and
gave enc ror two exhibitions. After his
last appearance he proceeded to get drunk,
and wound up by attempting to assault a

men appeared at the Jail The keys were
iorcibly taken from the jailer, and the
doors were opened.
Securing Bennett, the crowd proceeded
TO the edge OF town, where kettle of tar
was boiling. Two men soon appeared,
carrying feather bed which the laHndress
had furnished. Bennett was now thor
oughly alarmed, and pleaded for mercy,
but his masked captors were inexorable.
Finally one Of them advanced and
ordered Bennett to remove his clothing.
Bennett refused, and emphasized the de-
nial by knocking the man down. This so
enraSed the mob that they gathered
around Bennett aud tore his clothing from
him. The tar was hot and was applied
with brooms, Bennett being held upon the
ground until the work was completed

His side Of the story.
NEw YoRK, Oct. s.-The Herald con-
taius ten.column statement by Ferdi-
nand Ward in regard to the transactions
of GrGfE 4 Ward. It does not reveal any
additional names Of benefcisries by the
firms crooked operations, though consid-
cradle interesting information is given in
regard to the dealings of persons hereto
fore mentioned in that connection, and
several parties are referred to by their
initials, as participating in the profits Of
the concern. Ward says he does not be-
lieve General Grant knew anything
about the details OF the firms business,
he never examined the books. The only
charge he makes against Warner is that
the latter compelled him by threats Of
making trouble with Influential creditors
OF the firm, to transfer his property TO
Warner, thus saving tho latter from loss.
He thinks Warner has used the property
to square up with people from whom he
borrowed money 70 use with Grant &
Ward.
The books show enormous profits nc
crued to all the Grants, but they were
mostly pending at the time Of the failure,
and do not intimate that the gentlemen
had actually drawn out any large sums.
Ward debts himself with S633,0ls out Of
S 600 900 paid out as profits by the arm
U. s. Grant, S2l7, ,2239; J. D. Fish, 81 ,000,.

ner (estimated), $500, 900; in receivers
hands, $1,000 Office expenses, interest
on loans, &C., SS6s, ~. The rest consists
OF smaller amounts to the various parties
known in the affair.
Ward makes Mayor Grace's profit as
$l47, ,ls2. He produces a letter from
Mayor Grace, asking to be admitted to the
firm, inquiTing II they could not procure
him some contracts for government sup
plies, and offering, in that case, to assist
them in the way Of loans.
Perhaps the most serious charge In the
statement is the enc TO the effect that on
the strength Of friendship with General
Grant, General Gordln.. Of Georgia, OBJ
tanned $4,000 from the drm on personal
note at the time Of the firm becoming
owners Of the Belmont mining property,
and that the note was never paid and
