1t is boldly asserted by a travelling man
whose reputation for truth and veracity
has never been assailed, that an Ottawa
newspaper msn recently bought 81, 200
worth of diamonds. Such an act as this
is scarcely characteristic of newspaper
men. Not that the lavish expenditure of
money is at all out of the common, but it
is generally sent into other channels. It
goes for coal, rent and baby clothes. 1t
goes for charity. Alas il sometimes
goes for beer. But who is this wanton
Bohemian who squanders this amounts
They do say that one Ottawa journalist
lives IN a marble palace with furnace in
the cellar and man to shovel coal That
| his coachman is clad in regal robes and
sports a plug hat; that he sometimes
loans money.
We have heard of occasions when this
Ottawa newspaper man clung fondly and
with much confidence to lamp post at
midnight, apparently afraid to venture
beyond the circle of light On account OF
footpads However the individual Is OF
minor Importance The dazzling truth
goes out to the worli that an Illinois
Journalist can buy diamonds This hui
adds lustre to crown Of glory encirclins
the proud brow of Illinois Journalism

CHICAGO Dec q. The grand jury yes

two of receiving stolen property, knowing
tue same to have been stolen, against each of
the following persons: W. F Shaw, Henry
P!essner, c. D. Taylor. and OTIS Corbett.
The latter is Shaw's father in-law
Shaw says, and Plessner corroborates him
after fashion, that he received the bonds
from Taylor, who professed TO have taken
them from friend who was distressed iinan-
cially. He also asserts that he did not at
tempt to negotiate for their return TO the
men who owned them until be became salts
fed that Taylor's mysterious friend did
not intend to redeem them. Then he
took the bonds to 7. H. Tollman, the
banker, to get his views relative to
their value in the market Tolman told him
that it would be unsafe 20 handle them, but
show nevertheless tore off a lot of coupons and
sent them to his father-in-law, OTIS Corhett,
in Rock Island by Plessner, with instruc.
lions to place them on the market as speedily
As possible Corbett followed his son-in-
laws instructions, and not only proved that
the bonds were unsafe but got hi-,self into
disagreeable mess. After the failure to

The Philadelphia Times very properly
\hinks that the good people who want
Ineress to pass Sunday laws should read
constitution OF the United States be-
. y passing resolutions or flooding the
two houses of congress with petitions on
the subject. That document, it says. ex-
picitly declares what congress may do,
end the regulation OF the manner of OBJ
serving the Sabbath is one of the things
that is conspiCuOusly omitted from the
list. All legislation upon this subject
properly belongs to the state legislatures.
Most of the states have laws forbidding
the performance of unnecessary work on
the Sabbath, and this seems to be about
as far as the law making power can 90
Those who want the Sabbath more re
ligiously observed than it is at present
should labor to convince the people to
observe it as g religious duty. If they
can succeed in this no more laws will ht
necessary, and without this strict lawi
will fail Of enforcement.
