the way a Chester paper confounds

forbids any Of its citizens selling their
poultry outside of the State after the

merchant of Laurel is now under

f THE remains of Isaac s. Short,
(whOse death was noticed in our last
issue) were brought to this town from

enlisted in the Government service for
i three years, re-enlisting at the expira-
y ton of that time. He was twice
wounded, serving some time in the
hospital, and was at the Appomattox

after his death. His sudden breakin G

Torture in Bokhara.
St. James Gazette.

The report that the amir of Bokhara has ordered the abolition of torture in his kingdom in honor of the czars escape from death in a railway acci- dent, will suggest painful memories to Englishmen The commonest form of torture in BOkhara is con- fnement in the "blAck we'll" where the luckless victim is devoured by vermin. This was the fate of Stoddart who was afterwards put to death along with Connolly by the present amir's grand father. Other cruelties too, were practised by "the butcher" as he itly called. Men were thrown down from high walls towers were fayed alive, roasted in ovens. Mir. George Cur zon, at the last meeting of the Royal Geographical society, showed photograph of the tower from which criminals are still fung,, and he expressed hope that this barbarous punishment would before long be abolished. Torture is by no means un- common in the Indian native states indeed, Sir Lepel Griffin describes it 6 recognized form of judicial procedure He mentions the case of rul- ing chief who was openly accused of having the acrid juice of chillies squeezed into the eyes of reluctant witnesses "He old gentleman" Sir Lepel says, "of the most soft and courteous manners and the idea that chiles could be objected to & of judicial investigation did not seem to have occurred to him."

Recovering Lost Articles.
Exchange.

Exchange.
 "As we'll look for a needle in a bundle of hay" as for small article lost in the city of New York. or course every well-oonducted railway or carry ing company has an office to which articles found in their vehicles are stored for reclamation. But there are 90 many carrying companies; the article may have been left in a cab or in some public place; and If the owner cannot remember the exact place, where is he to make inquiry for it7 Would 1t not be we'll to have a special bureau to which all lost articles could be sent, just they have in Paris, for exanple1 There, if you leave your purse on a counter, your umbrella in omnibus or lose any Of the numberess small things a lady loves to cumber herself with you know where to apply for it. Editor Medill of Chicago lost 000 franc bill in Paris few years ago. The next day he clambered to the bureau for lost articles in the third story of the palace of justice and recovered it. It had been found in the straw at the bottom of & cab he had used
 The Paris bureau has just been reorganized Articles found entered at the central office, with the name of the finder. To claim them, all that is necessary is to properly identify them and they are handed over without charge, a gratuity for the finder usually being left but this is entirely at the option of the owner. If after fifteen days the article is not reclaimed, the finder may claim 1t for himself In he does not 1t is sent to the magazine tor storage three months, and there, If it be clothing something of perishable nature, it is sold. Otherwise it ia kept for three years. An instance Is cited in La RepHbiique Frdncdise where Russian lost 10000 francs in a carriage Eighteen months passed, and happening to Oe Tn Paris again and hearing for the first time of the Bureau for Stolen Articles, he went there and made inquiry. He astonished to have it handed over to him, and in his generosity he left halt of the sum for the honest coachman who had placed it there 10 his credit, so to speak.
 Now it does seem little uni ust that the articles found in public vehicles, and left unclaimed should be sold to swell the receipts of the company own ing them and the knowledge that the product Of his find will probably go into the pocket of his "boss" is certainly no incentive to the honesty of an employe. Not only is this Parisian institution self upporting, but it does offer an incentive to honesty about of the total revenues being awarded in prizes to the policemen, coachmen and others who have aggregated the most valuable finds during the year. This, of course in addition to the gratuities.
 The adoption of some such system in New York would be a great public convenience, and in many cases be a real saving of money, we'll of time and trouble.

Fish, or Out Bait.

Either run your town with a
vim, or just git up and leave it.
Men who are all the time wanting
to get out of town, will never try
to build it up. One of two things
should be done. Push things;
find way or make way to put
some "go" into the business; run
the town for all there is in it; get
up steam and keep it up, or else
omit the whole thing, vamose the
ranch, slide out and let nature
have her way. Do you want trade?
Bid for it. Do you want men to
come 10 your town? Encourage
those who do come. Do you want
a prosperous town, where people
can come disposed to make it their
home? Then do away with and
bury from sight all local differ
ences, all spite. If you want
live paper, support it ungrudg-
ingly. Work no more for a few
individuals, but all work together
for common prosperity and for
a mutual benefit. Wake up, rub
your eyes, roll up your sleeves and
go to work. Don't 60 to work
with fear and trembling, but take
it for granted that work will tell.
Leave results to themselves, bor-
row no trouble, but unite and
make the biggest kind of try.
