Given a Coat of Coal Tar.

FALL RIVER, MASS. Jan. "a .-"Sim -
Sherman has been boarding at the house
of Clark King on what is known as the
King road, near Blissfur Corners, Liver
ton railway. The attention of Sherman
to Mrs. King excited comment by the
neighbors and they to the number of
twenty went to Kings house supplied
with coal tar. They invited Sherman,
who had been previously warned to leave
the town, to come outside. When he
accepted the invitation he was taken
in charge by the mob. His
head, face, neck and hands were
covered with tar and he was told
to Iun and not to stop till he dropped.
He obeyed the order at once under an
impetus from the crowd, and fetched
up in the Niagara engine house in this
city, and managed to become presentable
by the next day, when he told of his adj
venture with the White Caps. Sherman
has not been back to Liverton since.
The affair occurred last Friday. Sher-
man is about forty-five years old and
Mrs. King about forty years old.

An Inspector Asked to Resign.

sWAsH1NGToN, Jan. 24-Mr. W. L..
Thompson, special inspector of customs
at FL Paso, Tex. is in trouble, and all
on account of his desire to serve two mas
tiers. 1t seems that he not only repre-
SCENTS the United States in the collection
of duties, but he also collects money from
the people who have claims against the
government for oyer-charges. and so he
catches the sheckles each way. His
claims against the government have been
for duties paid on animals specially i'm
ported for breeding purposes. He wrote
letter to Representative Sayers, asking
for certain information with view to
furthering said claims. Representative
Sayers referred the letter to the treasury
department. Assistant Secretary May
nard has replied to him as follows:
''The department has ne information
to give upon the subject referred TO by
Mr.. Thompson further than to suggest
that in view of the manifest improperly
of public officer, while in the service,
interesting himself in behalf of claimants
against the government, and of the fact
that Mr.. Thompson desires to represent
the class of claimants above mentioned
in prosecution of their claim, his resig-
nation from the service should be prompt
~ rendered.

Some time ago Capt. Hollowell and
one Luke Moore traded horses Luke,
after while, became dissatisfied and
determind to trade back. Hollowell
declined any further transactions. I'm
daunted by this, however. Luke resolved
on another swop and picked his chance,
when Hollowell was on the road alone,
doing some hauling, to force his resolu-
ton. He went to HolloweIl and, vi
ct arms, proceeded to take his mule.
Thereupon, Hollowell, seeing his prop
erty in danger, forced the animal forward
by crack of the whip, leaving his as
sailant alone in the road chagrinned
and disappointed. Upon complaint
made to Justice, Luke was arrested,
tried and, after severe but, proper rep
remand by the Court, was bound over
for his appearance.

bath, call the day of religious rest by
any name you choose, designate it
as you may, if we do not regard the
day to keep it holy, if we are no
sabbatarian, we are violators of the
law of God and stand before the SUI
preme Justice condemned, sentenced
"already" to eternal disregard and
death. Careful is every Christian
nation, SO essential is the Sabbath S
observance, to compel proper re-
gard for its holy hours. All over the
civilized world Christians gladly re-
gard the day and Jews are forced to
recognize and practice the morality
cotained in the maxim, "When IN
Rome do as Rome does Since
this day is Gods, especially made by
particular reserve, it should be kept
and the law against Sabbath breaking
should be considered in meeting out
Justice to criminals whose offense is
committed on that day. The greater
the day the more intense the crime
committed thereon. This is true as
it's converse-"Better the day, better
the deed"-is true
We are led to these reflections be-
cause of recent local disturbances on
the Sabbath, and in the hope that
the strong arm Of the law may be
moved against these violators to
check them in their wreckless disre-
gard of this most sacred appointment
of God among whose general orders,
SO to speak, stands the injunction.
"Remember the Sabbath day to keep
it holy" &c. Ten Commandments
only are given and yet, SO important
is the Sabbath, one of these is with
reference to its observance. To those
disposed to lightly look upon it we
would say that the command for its
keeping stands, side by side, with
"Thou shalt not steal" Thou shalt
do no murder"
1t is shame upon any town, it is
a burning disgrace to any communi-
ty that will allow the day of God to
be desecrated with impunity.

one Jenkins, both colored, some weeks

of justified bond, he was remanded to

Xxx Milk-shakes, lemonade and
soda-water are the popular drinks
in this our wet town. Temperance
is a vital living principle which
comes not of enforcement. AS a
rule, if men are entirely unrestric
ted as to their appetitive indulgen-
cies, there is less tendency to ex-
IRENE. If this town was, by law, a
dry one, milk shakes and soda
would not answer the demand.
Whiskey and nothing but whiskey
would appease the cravings of the
thirsty. AS it is, our people take
cooling drafts and, as a consequence,
drunkenness is seldom seen in our
midst. A drunk man On the streets
of EdentOn at any ordinary time or
occasion, is a curiosity that not only
excites criticism but, laughing won

Electric plant, has been canvassing the
town, this week, in order to introduce
into general service this cheap and ex-

by all classes wherever used. Many of
our business men have decided to use
the light in their places of business and
some have concluded to try it in their
dwellings. Let the people generally
take hold Of it. Put it in the churches
and all the public buildings; let it shine
out from every store and private house,
from every lamp post and upon every
corner until the whole town shall be
ablaze with the refulgent splendor Of
its dazzling brilliancy. Let 'er come !.

Xxx Tariff, patronage and plumber
has taken the sentiment out of Ameri-
can politics and reduced political re-
lations, even in the States, to mere
practical endeavor. That this is true
can be proven by almost every polit-
ical platform since the days of recon
struction and by almost every speech
of every leading politician and can
didate since the defeat of poor old
honest Horace Greedy. He was a
man of honest convictions and filled
with healthy sentiment as to men
and government. The party that
nominated him for presidential honors
was entirely in sympathy with his
lofty conceptions of truth and duty
but, since his day, under the domina-
ton of republican rule and misrule,
all thought, prompted by feeling, and
all healthy opinion are without their
place in any Of the declared platforms
of the country. The weight, the real
burden of every party declaration is,
now, dollars and cents just as salt and
negro's shoes were, during the war,
the main concern of many loyal citi-
zens of the Confederacy. Not prin.
ciple, not honor, not the country's
good but, salt and negro's shoes.
That was the cry and so, today, the
cry is not America and Americas
