An Adjunct of Justice. Machinery.

Iknow very dapper old MN who lives
in Broadway hotel and iresses and
looks like a gentleman and man OF 40,
though he is wicked old rogr of at least
IS. He is rich, and is what they call a
"backer' in police vernacular that is, he
advances money to burglars and thieves
who need to do job that requires fine
tools or one in which a bank clerk is to be
bribed. He backs gambling games and
lottery Offices, and all that sort OF thing as
well. Ostensibly he is retired capitalist.
He says he made his money Ii sugar In
Louisiana before the war.
He has for family beautiful, lady-like
woman, whom he calls his wife, and two
lovely little girls. to whom he speaks only
German in the morning, only French in
the afternoon, and only English between
So'cluck dinner and bedtime. They are
good little children and say their prayers
at his knees whenever he is at home to
hear them. Now this old man is
great adjunct Of the machieney
OF Justice. He deals with the prin-
cipal thieves, burglars, forgers, coun-
terfeiters, and kuaves of all kinds
constantly. Suppose ore of them does not
deal fairly with him-cheats him, quarrels
with him blabs about him, takes TO
drinking, and becomes loose-tongued, or
Hoes anything that makes the old gentle
man angry or uneasy. Well, what then.
He Is IN jail before long-caught IN the act
or naD1ed for past oifensc that the
police could not at the time throw any
light upon. New York Letter
CHASTITY sights Wholesome for Children.
Twas surprised TO learn the other day
that the morgue was free to all curiosity
mongers, and that the school children
were in the habit of trooping into that
horrible place to gaze upon the CHASTITY
objects exposed TO general view for identi-
tication. The effects of such sights upon
adults is bad but upon children it is ex-
ceptionally pernicious. 1t demoralizes
mankind to familiarize them with the
things that are inseparably associated
with death. All things connected with
death are repugnant to the healthy mind.
Disease is one of these, and vice, which Is
but type of disease and death, is an
other.
The danger which arises from famil-
iarity with these morbid conditions Of ex-
istence lies in the fact that the same
taste which familiarizes itself without suf-
ticient reason with signs ofphysical death
and sufferings in disease, could readily be
made familiar with vice and wickedness.
After maturity we have degree of elias
tieity and power of self-assertion which
enables us 10 withstand disease or the in
sidious effect upon the mind OF things we
see. Adults, in u measure, however, are
affected by everything they see and hear,
but with children everything they see and
hear goes TO form character.-Jesuit

Antelope Valley of North Dakota.

For the first ten or twelve miles after
leaving Rugby junction, that thriving
town where the Manitoba road forks,
one line going toward the Turtle noun.
t;'ins and the other vending its way
Paciicwasds, l passed along up the beau
tlful Antelope valley. And right here,
let me say, that | cannot refrain from
giving YOU something more than a
mere glimpse OF this region. To our
left, some six or seven miles distant,
are the timbered slopes Of the Mouse
river hills, the stockmen's ranges, while
stretching far away behind us and for
several miles in front, is the fertile basin
Of deep, black soil, known as the Ante
lope valley.
The land ID evidently of the best
character. perfectly free from alkali and
having ample natural drainage. The
present population Of the valley is CON-.
posed of Americans, Canadians and Scan.
~dinavians, the former class predominant
ing In numbers. Now that the St. Paul,
Minneapolis & Manitoba railway passes
through the center of this valley, and
a large and growing town supplies a
good home market, immigration will
doubtless increase rapidly. The settlers
nearly all live in sod houses and are in.
dustrious and enterprising. Lest I should
be misunderstood, let me say that a sod
house, instead Of being put up merely
because it is so cheap, is often erected by
quite well to do farmers, who see in build
ings an investment which returns no in
terest, while the same O invested
here e in stock will soon double. Again, sod
houses are often the most comfortable of
dwellings, and when well built, seem to
add attraction to the landscape, Will e
the p%retentious frame structure would
often be out Of place amid this beautiful
natural scenery.
One thing which could not fail to Oh
serve was that the settlers here are all
very proud Of their valley, and sound its
praises it, unlimited terms. 1t is natural
for men to think we'll of their chosen
home, and consequently, for one to make
a liberal allowance for stretches Of the
narrator's imagination. However, there
is no skeleton in the closet"in Antelope
valley. Here is a long, wide T. of
splendid, rich soil, upon which the tame
grasses would grow In %profusion, making
this an excellent field for the operations
Of diversified farming.
The present is emphatically the time
to secure lands in the Antelope valley.
There are plenty Of homesteads. pre-
emptions and tree claims awaiting the
action Of the settler. in order to become
a great agricultural region. Certainly,
here is a rich field for men of limited
means and unlimited days work, to
become prosperous landholders. Lands
can be had within a short distance of the
st. Paul, Minneapolis & Manitoba rail-
way, for nothing more than the taking.
Probably there is no such large body Of
very fertile toil in the United States that
is so accessible to transportation, and
possessing so many and varied attrac-
tions ofsoil and location, as this Antelope
valley, on the Devils Lake division of the
Manitoba road.

The suggestion is made, and it is a
good one, that the constitutional cenven-
ton at its Huron meeting nex week.
should prepare a amendment chang
ing the name Of the proposed state from
Dakota to South Dakota, and making
the northern boundary line the seventh
standard instead Of the forty-sixth par
allel. Those who are really in favor of
the success Of the movement ought not
hesitate to favor these amendments,
which canno affect any Of the principles
for which South Dakotans are striving.

Our Own Coal Fields.

Now that the railroad has reached the
Mouse river country, attention Is being
directed to developing the coal mines
which abound in that country. Last
Saturday five cars Of iron were shipped
west, which will be used in laying spur
from the track lea the hig bridge, on e
mile west Of Mino., to O'Donnelrs mine.
There is a FIVE foot vein OF coal Of supe;.
Tor quality at that point. and it is the in
t%ention Of the railroad company to use
it in their engines if it burns sufficiently
we'll. A shipment Of two or three Car
loads is expected here in a few days.

A NUMBER of exchanges speaking
of the fellow HOVER, who has visited
several North Carolina towns claim
ing to represent the Knights of Labor
have, after expressing their sentiments
concerning him assayed to strengthen
their remarks by adding something to
the effect that the individual in cues
ton wore "seedy clothes" and was not
over presentable. The SENTINEL
does not espouse the cause of this
manHovER, but we beg to remind our
esteemed contemporaries that dudish
clothes and faultless apparel are
not always to be taken as the best
of indications as to a mans honesty of
purpose. Because man has "seedy
clothes is no reason why there lie not
an honest heart beneath them and
frequently more than ordinary genius
and ability.

adulatory matter always set up for the Judges

WE learn from South Carolina gentleman
who attended the meeting at Roanoke, that it
was pretty well understood that the new road
would be located to Winston and Mocksville,
and probably Mooresville. After that, the
route is not fixed. But Winston and Mocks-
vile he thought, were fixed upon. Charlotte

IT is noticeable fact that less commercial
fertilizers are being bought this season than in
former years and that more care and labor are
bestowed upon the preparation of home made
material for enriching the earth. If the season
should prove propitieus and hard work can ac-
compolish desired result there will be good
crops made this year Wilmington Repieo.
