A THOUSAND LIVES LOST.

A special to the Chicago Tribune
from Nebraska City, Neb., says j:
Judge j. A. Kinney, agent of the
YanktonSioux Indians agency in Da-
kota, arrived here yesterday after
being nine days on the road, Five
days we're necessary for the party to
travel thirty miles. The themome-
ter during the FIVE days was at 40
degrees below zero most of the time.
The Judge says the loss Of life in
Dakota has been greatly underesti-
mated, as the Dakota papers have
tried to cover it up. !,
He describes the scene which took
place on board the cars. The coal
was running low. The passengers
were crowded into one car trying TO
keep warm. Two babies persisted.
The men discarded all the outer gar
ments they could spare and gave them
to the ladies and children. Finding
these not enough they brought mail
sacks from the postal car and wrap
ped the children up in them. While
at one station in Bonhomme county,
the judge says, nineteen frozen bodies
were brought into the depot in one
day. In Bonhomme county the list
of dead will reach iully 100.
The estimates as made at Yankton
Thursday of the loss throughout the
territory figure up over 1000 lives
lost. The counties where the loss OF
life was the largest are Bonhomme,
100; Hutchinson, IA; Lincoln, 10;
Beadle, %; Spenck, u; Hand, 10
Ward, 10. The northern and CEN
tral parts OF the territory have not
been heard from fully. Roads from
the agency to Yankten are lined with
dead cattle, many farmers losing all
they had. One man lost over 100.
The loss Of stock cannot be estimated.
Judge Kinney was accompanied all
through the scenes Of suffering by
his wife. Both were slightly frozen
about the hands and feet.

YOUNG MAN GET MARRIED.
Ho0d Advice to Restless and Timid
Youthful Bachelors.


Young men, the large majority of
you are lowering around on the verge
OF matrimony, shivering like mouse
colored terrier and afraid to step of.
The great majority Of you know Just
where you can put your finger on a
girl who would marry you at Sec
ond's notice, but you are afraid YOU
couldn't satisfy the landlords. coal
dealers and milliners that man all
ways weds when he marries a woman.
You are not men You are simply
towards, who see a prize hanging
above your heads and have not the
moral courage to ascertain il your
arm is long enough to pluck it. Our
advice to you is, if you have got lob
and are earning fair wages, to get
married and go to housekeeping, if
you have to begin with an oil stove. a
candle and bed lounge. This may
seem to you small beginning, and.so
1t is; but, once married, the money
that you now throw away in your en-
beavers to quiet your restless soul
will go into furniture and little nick
nacks, and you will soon wake up to
the fact that you are the owner of a
home, and that word means great
deal to a young fellow who mas been
swimming around in the ocean of
lite ver,snce he was big enough to
shave himself, with his chin Just above
the wafer.
just as soon as a man can stand up
before the world, point to pleasant
home presided over Ivy a wife who
makes a harness of smiles with which
her husband draws his burdens of
daily cares, and say, "They are
mine" he jerks his head up in the
air about SIX inches and goes pranc-
ing around like yearling colt in
new pasture. Get married, young
man, and you use common sense in
picking out q wife you are sure to
make success Of the venture, The
world owes you living, but it isn't
going to press it upon you. You
will find that it is just "a easy to
feed two mouths as one, providing
the extra mouth belongs to your wife.
There is nothing this side of Heaven
that can smoothe out the wrinkles
in mans disposition, or knock
down the objections that get into his
path as he tramps along this brief
probation of life, so perfectly as the
sympathy and affection of a true,
noble, self-sacrifcing woman, and
we are eccentric enough to believe
that the majority of women are built
that way.

SCIENTIFIC IDOLATRY.

The Electrical Review, one of the
leading scientific papers OF the coun-
try, claims that in a few years the
man who keeps a lightning rod on
his house will be looked upon with
the same charitable eommiseration as
the man who pins his faith to the
horseshoe which he nails up over his
door. If the first man who ever used
a lightning rod had been sent to an
insane asylum, millions OF dollars
that are annually expended in these
worse than useless gewgaws would be
saved to the country and the victim
of misplaced confidence would have
been treated as he deserved. The
lightning rod craze is one result of
that blind, unquestioning faith in
the unknown to which people fondly
cling as defense against possible
danger. 1t is a sort of Chinese sup
erstition. Lightning rods may be
found upon little squatty houses in
the midst ola forest of tall trees, any
one of which is more likely, owing to
their greater height, to attract the
subtle fluid. The very quintessence
of absuralty is reached however in
placing rods up on great iron oil
tanks, where the great quantity OF
metal used in the construction of the
latter is such that it would carry off
probably 10000 times more electrici-
ty than could pass over an ordinary
rod. 1t IS about us wise as 1t would
be to attempt to force the MISSISSIPPI
pi river through two-inch gas pipe
while the ordinary channel remained |
unobstructed. The lightning rod is
to the civilized nations what the |
wooden god is to the savage sense
less idol

CAUGHT IN A TRAP.
A South CarOlinian Buys Green Goods and
Is Arrested.

William II. Rogers, green goods
operator, was arrested in New York
recently for swindling farmer. AS
bury Il. Perkins, OF Lancaster Sopth
Carolina. Perkins is prominent
resident OF that town and countv
commissioner. In December he was
sent to Boston with township bonds
amounting to over 100000, to de-
post. On his return he met Rogers
ON broadway. The latter said he
had met Perkins before, but the lat
ter din not remember him. Perkins
swallowed the bait, though, and when
Rogers offered some green goods
and explained the utter impossihilitv
OF detection, Perkins became interest
ed. Rogers told him that the vov.
eminent officials devoted millions If
green goods yearly to their own
private use, and there was no reason
why Perkins should not make money
too. Perkins went home and return
ed Sunday last, to get some of the
green goods. The detectives met the
PAIR in the street and watched them.
Perkins sent messenger to Wall
street on Monday and exchanged
$3.50 in silver for bills. Allarrange-
ments for the transfer of the green
goods We're effected, and the change.
was to be at Desbrosses ferry. At
the ferry the pair was arrested.
Rogers turned to shoot the detective.
but the revolver was twisted out Of
his hand. No one was hurt. At
police headquarters Rogers was
searched, and $400, which Perkins
had paid him for green goods, valued
ut $4,000, was found In Perkins
valise the stuff was found as usual.
The package of bills contained a
blank green paper, with but $50
worth of bills around them.

GODS LAST AND BEST GIFT TO MAN,

Our world would not have been a
success without woman. she came
at the right time and fills the right
place. With all her faults, as piece
OF humanity, she could not well be
improved upon. In all civilized
countries and among all honorable
men, she passes current at her face
value. She is the fairest of all, and
sometimes, though not often, the
frailest of all. She is at once the
poets dream, the warriors inspifa-
ton, the theme of the statesman, and
the charming actually of our home
No home should be without one
She out rivals the lily of'th valley
in beauty. The carnation of he,
cheeks defies the most exquisite con.
ception of the artist. Though call.
ed the weaker sex, she is stronger
than man in virtue, ia the power Of
selt-control. AS a sweetheart, there
is none like her, and while she may
sometimes appear gay deceiver, yet
when fairly trapped she is there, and
there to stay, unless death or divorce
lnteryenes. AS a wife, she fills the
bill exactly, if the man she enthralls
is of any account himself; if not she
often makes the household lively. In
the well-ordered home she reigns in
queenly grace, brings order out OF
chaos and set things to rights gener-
ally. Though a being fearfully and
wonderfully made up, and often a
bundle of contradictions, the very
fertility of her resources, and the d.
versity of her characteristics renders
her more lovely and interesting. In
that matter of marriage, it is safe tt
say, that good husband makes {
good wife oftener than a good wife
makes good husband. As moth
er, woman shines forth in all the be
attitude of her character. Here in
deed she is power behind the throne
shaping the destiny Of the race fol
veal or woe. Here she is the minis
tering spirit Of love and tenderness
whose tireless vigils extend from tn,
cradle to the grave. Alas how few
ever repay mothers love or devo
ton.

MARIETTA, GA,
THURSDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 2. 1883
SPECULATION.

This is fast age, young men, in
beginning life, wish to accumulate
wealth rapidly. This desire leads
them into questionable transactions
and frequently inducements of pos
slble large return influences them to
engage In speculation. The first few
small deals, if they prove successful,
flatter the judgment is sound, or that
his ''luck is worth fortune to him.
The sad sequel is too well known.
Failure is not the worst feature of the
unfortunate termination of the ca
reer of Spectator. With the in
stlncts that leads drowning man to
catch at straws he lays hands on eve
rything within possible reach to hold
him up. Thus, frequently, crime is
added to misfortune, and financial
ruin is often entailed upon friends.
Speculation is, in sense, crime,
and has led to the commission of as
many crimes as any other agency,
and the fullness OF time, the law will
regard spectators in the light of
criminals, and interpose its power
between them and their intended vic
tins. But, alas, they, too, are, soon
er or later, the victim of their own
avarice and greed.
Young men should early realize
the dangers attending speculative
enterprises and avoid them from prin-
ciple as well as policy. A vague un-
rest broods over the life of every
Spectator that propagates untold
mlseries to embitter his days. The
slow accretion that must come from
industry in legitimate fields of bust
ness are more satisfying and are CON
duclve to contentment, without
which no life can be happy.

HOW THE PEOPLE ARE IMPOSED UP.

We wonder it the protective tariff
organs in Georgia ever had q practi-
cal illustration of the infamous syg-
TEN that they are advocating Just
think Of the article Of quinine. Since
the duty was removed by Congress
you can now buy from drug store
in Hawkinsville as much quinine for
seyenty-five cents as formerly cost
four dollars. Who was benefited
by the duty on quinine? A Philadel-
phia manufacturing firm who grew
immensely rich at the expense Of the
American people. And when an eff
fort was made to lower the duty on
foreign quinine the Philadelphia
monopoly sent its lobbyists to Con
gress and spent, it is said, one mil
lion dollars trying TO defeat the bill.
1t is burlesque and outrage upon
the people to talk about the repeal Of
the internal revenue taxes upon
whisky and tobacco when the neces,
saries of life are taxed 50 heavily

says: GA. w. Futile, living in the
northwest part of the county, met an
untimely death on Wednesday of this
week. lie was a man well known in
this community and quite wealthy.
A week ago when the first blizzard
came he made use of the expression
that ''if there was such being as
God Almighty, he was without love
or feeling for humanity or he would
not send such storms upon them" at
the same time declaring that if an
other storm came he would go to a
climate that had never been cursed
with such storms, and escape the
vigilance Of the Almighty. The storm
came on Tuesday morning and he
began preparations for departure.
Securing large trunk he packed it,
and on Wednesday morning went to
load it into wagon 10 haul to VII
lisca, where he expected to take the
afternoon train. lie had one end of
the trunk in wagon box and was
raising the other end from the
ground when his feet skipped from
under him, the sharpe edge striking
him upon the neck as he lay upon
the ground. His neck was broken
and he died almost instantly"

that the bet was taken he grabbed

breathlessly told the proprietor that

the whisky barrel, the hostler satu-
rated the sponge, and went back to
the stable, where he squeezed out
more than pint OF whisky and peck
