The Ottowa Sentinel says ga woman is
going around the country who is evidently
working a skin game. She calls on "the lady
of the house" and tells her all about a won
derful face lotion of which she is the manu-
facturer. Then she tells the intended victim
that she has just undertaken the sale of the
article and needs testimonials, and says in an
.insinuating way, that she would like to have
the lady use it and make personal acquain-
lance with its merits. If the customer likes
it and is willing to give the desired testimo-
NAL, the glibed-tongued manufacturer will be
willing to pay as high as S. for it. This is
supposedto so prey upon the mind of ''the lady
of the house." who is generally unsuspecting,
that she will eagerly inquire the price of the
precious lotion; and now comes in the fine
and artistic work of the female fakir. She
tells the lady that she has not made any large
quantity of the stuff and does not know what
it will cost, but if the lady will only sign a
little order for a bottle, agreeing to pay what
ever it does cost, the peddler will not charge
her anything more than what is actually re-
quired to pay for the articles consumed. If
the innocent lady nibbles out comes a book
and this is showed at her with an urgent re-
quest to sign. If she does sign that order
well, the delivery of the beauty cultivator has
not yet begun, but when it does there is every
reason to believe that there will be weeping
and waiting and gnashing of teeth, and if any
husbands find their wives short in their ac-
counts they can lay it all to the face wash
peddler. This smacks largely of the Bohe-
| milan oats scheme."

Just think Of it! 29c. for a pair of
Boys Knee Pants, at Jos. Woerner's.

On Saturday night last about 91aa
O'Clock, while Mayor Marsh was stand
ing on the corner of Main and Barron
streets, William Evans and Grant Fields,
two colored inhabitants OF Eaton, got in
to a difficulty. The Mayor interfered and
ordered them away, when Evans whip
ped out a razor and slashed at the May
or, cutting through the back of his coat
and vest, inficting a wound about an
inch in length, near the center of his
back. Evans Immediately fled toward
the north part oftown in the direction of
the depot, near where he was captured
by the Marshal and put into the station
house. There was a strong feeling to
lynch the black desperate, and we don't
know but that it would have been the
best thing to do under the circumstan-
ces. DIR. Michael dressed the wound of
the Mayor, and although not dangerous,
he made a very narrow escape. Evans
had a hearing before Esq. Foster, charg-
ell with cutting to kill. Committed on
default OF $1,000 bond. He has served
three years in the Jacksonville, Ind,
penitentiary for horse stealing.

SINISTER Attorneys.

The better class of attorneys, those who
have a pride and respect for the profess
sion, despise to get down to the level OF
the "fish-woman'' and abuse men whom
against their own feelings are forced into
courts as witnesses. 1t is only the low,
skin "shysters" that do it-men who
earn their living by prying into the per-
sonal affairs of dead men, and women
who have been northumberland thus
disgrace the legal profession by going
further in pursuit OF business than the de-
cency of law ever intended. The pra:tice
OF law is one that is supposed to be elevat-
ing to the mind and conducive to the Gull
ture of good qualities, but the vile, indie
cent, and frequently vulgar abuse, heap
ed upon witnesses in many cases tried in
our court, by these "shysters" and rob-
bers of dead mems estates, have made
them resemble more a political ward
gathering than a place where honest men
go for justice. A stranger dropping in
would conclude that the plaintiff and de-
PENDANTS in almost any case on trial are
murderers-the witnesses the GUNNER"
element, Indifferent to the crime of per-
jury-the attorneys "guster snipes," or
p~enitentiary convicts-and the Judge OF
the Bench stump, careless of Everything
connected with his high and honorable
position, exceptthe drawing of his salary
We need a Judge johnson on every
Bench, who will peremptorily silence
the attorney in court that abuses and
vilifes witnesses, dragged against their
desire into the witness chair, to testify
and give evidence as to what they hon
estly and conscientiously know and be-
lieve to be the truth and the whole truth.
And who would blame the witness abus-
ed in an open court, by a vulgar and I'M
couth beast, like the creature that de-
graded the profession and outraged the
honor OF the court last week in Eaton, if
he would step up and knock him over
with the first weapon within his reach?
Persons rarely seek to be witnesses on
trials in courts, and when the ''ipse
dixit" of the "powers that be" demand
their presence, they are entitled to de-
cent treatment and protection from foul
mouthed viliication and SANDER, and if
it is not given them by the Court, they
ought to take it upon themselves to get
it by that power which the Almighty has
put in possession of every man that has
a common respect for his honor and good
name.

a Letter From Cen. Eltz Hugh Lee.

TOPEKA, Kan, June 19.-On Memorial
day Rev. S. McChesney, pastor of Method
ist church, delivered an address in which he
used the following language:
| will not attempt to conceal or describe my
emotion when / learned that on the fourth Of
March last year. at the time of the inauguration
ceremonies at Washington, an ex-Confederate,
Generel FIT Hugh Lee, led that military process
sion in "a confederate uniform with the gallant
Sheridan relegated to an inferier position i'll that
line.
The address attracted considerable atten-
tion at the time and met General Lees eyes
yesterday for the first time. The secretary
of the Democratic Central committee of
Kansas has received the following letter
from him, dated at Richmond, Va:
The statement of DR.. McChesney is false, viz
that an ex-Confederate general led the military
procession at Washington on Inauguration day IN
a Confederate uniform as well as his statement
that General Sheridan in blue was placed in an
inferior position. just after reading his absurd
of some of the Federal soldiers in Watertown, N.
Y, who received a pension under the laws of the
United States, but who, not requiring them had
sent them to some Confederate soldiers residing
in this State because they thought their necessi-
ties greater. Which is doing more for the promo
tion of the restored uuon of co-equal States, the
narrow minded bloodthrsty preacher who has
probably never smelled gunpowder, or the ex-
union soldiers who stopped fighting when the war
was over? can only pity the man who remains
belligerent so long, and express the hope that
after death his ashes may be at peace,
FITZ HUGH LEE.
