Oswego Independent: Abe Stein
berger, editor of the Bee, was arrested
Immediately on his return from tho west
by q warrant in the hands of the sheriff,
charging him with criminal libel. The
arrest was made on information filed by
Robert o. Deming before County Attor-
ney Cory, and was brought about by
the recent series of articles in the Bee
indulging in q TRADE of abuse and vitu-
perstion against the Deming Invest
ment company, and particularly Robert
o. Dsming, the manager. Steinberger
was placed under $4,000 bonds for his
appearance at the next term of the dis
trict court, which convenes the coming
week. Owing to the publicity given
the affair, the trial promises to be
watched with the gre test interest by
the public. Morrison & McCune have
been retained by the defendant and Case
& Glasse will assist the county attorney
in the prosecution.

The Advantages Of Leglettes.

Among the questions oftensst asked
m il: why are legettss better than
pettieoats? ?" Any garment that clcthss
the legs with regard for their separate
necessities is better than one which
ignores individual rights to warmth
and freedom. Ones two legs are two
distinct members, and each demands
the courtesy Of recognition independ-
emf of it's fellow. Custom, which for
merly compelled both men and women
to wear petticoats, has been ovsrrulea
in mans case by the growing neces-
sity for freedom of motion in the active
walks of life, and the result Of this
evolution is mans present tolerably
convsnientif not wholly beautiful garb.
The same reasons that led to mans
adoption of the bifurcsted garment
hold GOOD in woman's case: ease and
safety in locomotien, warmth and cen
venienee. An aggregation of psttieoats
does not give the warmth that one pair
of well-fitting and appropriately thick
leglettes will give for cold winter
weather, for the reason that the air cir
culates freely under the petticoats,
which is impossible with garment that
fits each leg; and one therefore gets .
minimum of weight and a maximum Of
warmth by wearing leglettes. The 70
sistancs of the outside dress skirt
against the instep and knee in walking
is tiresome when leglettes are worn,
but with petticoats the strain upon car
tain muscles becomes 80 great % to in
duce disease and suffering oftentimes.
In wet weather the bottom of the
leglettes, which should not como be-
low the boot tops, do not get wet IS do
ones petticoats, and consequently
there is less danger from exposure to
colds; again. the Jeglettes leave ono
comparative freedom of movement. 20
that in case of accident it is much
easier to extricste ones self from dan
ger than where many skirts are worn /;
in short, the leglettes are step in the
right dire ction.-Mrs. Annie Je'a7aess

The African Slave Trade.

The cruel part of the slave trade is
the march across Central Africa from
the Soudan. When sufficient number
of slaves have been caught to form q
caravan the miserable procession starts
across the desert. Each slave has to
carry his or her own gourd of water
and provisions of dried dates from sta
ton to station. and to make the weary
journey on foot In the forests and
bush of equatorial Africa they are
yoked or tied together, but in the
sandy wastes of the Sahara they are
not chained or mancled; for, should
they try to escape, there is nowhere
but the desert for them to go. and they
would have to throw. away their bur-
dens of food and water, so that GER
tain and lingering death would be the
only result of gaining their freedom.
At different points on the route parts
of the caravan branch off from the main
body and strike northward across the
desert for Tripoli, Tunis, or the inte-
rior of Algeria, until the caravan arrives
at Timbuctoo. From this great CEN
trail mart they turn northward to Cape
JUDY, where the Northwest African
Trading Company attempted to found
q station on small island just off the
coast to tap the Sultan's trade with the
interior and Timbuctoo, and would no
doubt have been successful had not the
Sultan sent several thousand troops to
occupy the cape, with strict instructions
to fire on any one who attempted to
land. From Cape JUDY to Morocco is
but short march, and then the slaves
are distributed among the inland towns,
and are sold by public auction to a life
of comparative ease and comfort. Of
the long trains that leave Darfour and
the Soudan for Morocco. not more than
40 per cent reach the Sultan's domin-
ions; the rest have fallen by the way,
victims to the SUD, to hunger and
thirst, to blows and priyations of every
kind. If the horrors of this march
across thousands of miles of desert are
to be put an end to they must be
stopped at the fountain-head. Nothing
can be done in Morocco; but slavery
there is not of the Legree or Uncle
Tom type, which is the only one that
English minds can comprehend: the
slaves are we'll fed and we'll treated,
and most European governments would
lay themselves open to obvious retorts
did they interfere to change the
slaves condition. It is at the COM
mencement of this journey of death
that the cure must be effected. When
Gordon swept the province of Darfour
the slave-hunters found their occupa-
ton gone, and their hitherto profitable
calling was changed to one of danger
and doubtful remuneration; but when
we abandoned Gordon at Khartoum we
abandoned all attempts to check the
slave trade in Central Africa. But the
Soudan is long way off and Africa is
still the dark continent; and 50 we left
the long caravans to once more plod
their deadly path across the desert, and
we passed on either side, content to
chase few dhows in the Red Sea for
the saving of our consciences.-Illus-
trated London NeaCs,

The Advance Of Civilization.

Hanging, as practiced along the Dor
ders of the West, has had little that
was attractive about it for years-sin-
cerity, frankness, and efficacy being
the principal features that would rec
ommend. First came the custom of
leading the recipient on horseback un-
der tree with his hands tied behind
him, dropping o line to him over q
bough. tying in it hand be-
meath his ear, and then hitting the
horse singing cut with quert in the
flank. The surprise manifested by the
horse on such occasions is more than
shared by the rider, whose startled APP
pearance is noticeable for days after
wards by people who pass that way.
Then followed the method of driving
the bull team and freight wagon
under the tree instead of the
saddled horse. As civilization adj
vanced, wealthy and prosperous
suffocation clubs arose and intro
duced the spring wagon, the Brewster
side-bar, the phaeton, and the Victoria.
Later on, with the shrek of the iron
horse, came other methods of execu-
ton, and the upper deck of q freight
train was utilized, and when all was
ready and the victim had smoked
his cigarette clean down to his
yellow finger tips, the executioner sig
nailed the engineer, and the other
excursionists came on, while the con-
demned gentleman changed cars for
the dim and distant country whose
reticence still continues to punctuate
mans career with q mighty interroga-
ton poink-BiH Nye.

Some of the Pleasures of Ranchins.

For bedding, each man has two or
three pairs of blankets, and tarpauiin
or small wagon-sheet. Usually, two or
three sleep together. Even in June the
nights are generally cool and pleas
ant, and it is chilly in the early morn
ings; although this is not always so, and
when the weather STAYS hot and mos
quitoes are plenty, the hours of dark
ness, even in the midsummer, seem pain
fully long. In the Bad Lands proper
we are not often bothered very seri-
ously by these winged pests; but in the
low bottoms of the Big Missouri, and
beside many of the reedy ponds and
great sloughs out on the prairie, thev
are perfect scourge. During the very
hot nights, when they are especially
active, the bed-clothes make man feel
absolutely smothered, and yet his only
chance for sleep is to wrap himself
tightly up, head and all; and even then
some of the pests force their way in.
At sunset have seen the mosquitoes
rise up from the land like dense
cloud, to make the hot, sitting night
one long torture; the horses would
neither lie down nor Craze, travelling
restlessly to and fro till day-break,
their bodies streaked and bloody, and
the insects settling on them SO as to
make them all one color, uniform
gray; while the men, after a few hours
tossing about in the vain attempt to
sleep, rose, built fire of damp sage
brush, and thus endured the misery as
best they could until it was light
enough to work.
"But if the weather is fine, man
will never sleep better nor more pleas
antly than In open air after hard days
work on the roundup; nor will an
ordinary shower or gust of wind disturb
him in the least, for he simply draws
the tarpaulin over his head and goes on
sleeping. But now and then we have
windstorm that might better be called
q whirlwind and has to be met very
differently; and two or three days or
nights of rain insure the wetting of the
blankets, and therefore, sbivering dis
comfort on the part of the would-be
sleeper. For two or three hours all
goes we'll; and it is rather soothing to
listen to the steady patter of the great
rain-drops on the canvas. But then it
will be found that a corner has been
left open through which the water can
get in, or else the tarpaulin will begin
to leak somewhere; or perhaps the
water will have collected in q hollow
underneath and have begun to soak
through. Soon little stream trickles
in, and every effort to remedy matters
merely results in q change for the worse.
To move ont of the way insures getting
wet in a fresh spot; and the best course
is to lie still and accept the evils that
have como with what fortitude one can.
Even thus, the first night . man can

Paste Diamonds.

"The great majority of people cannot
tell the difference between paste and
real diamonds at ballroom" said q
well-known jeweler to New York re-
porter, "and there are more people who
wear paste than any one would think.
Once was the assistant of q fashion
able jeweler in Washington. It was
then q common thing to loan out an
outfit of paste to ladies who had not Sc
curity to give for real diamonds.
"What did you charge for those paste
outfits ?" the reporter asked.
Generally about S25. Once pretty
girl from one of the Western States
hired one of these paste sets from US
for ball and captured the heart of a
wealthy French Count--not one of the
shady kind. but real Count, rich as q
Cr9sus, who was on visit to this
country, and after short courtship
they were engaged to be married.
He obtained for her an invitation to
the next official reception, for which we
lent her real diamonds and sent our de-
tective to watch them.
"When she came back with them she
said: %, wish you had given me real
diamonds like you did the first time.
These last were paste and any one could
see by their dullness that they were not
diamonds at all
II didn't say anything, but shortly
after when she obtained the loan of an
outfit we gave her the paste set and she
came back highly pleased with the
change.
an few days she had no need to
hire diamonds. Her lover bought her
plenty of them"
