Of colored people, among the number
several half-grown boys, crowded
about the steps and the woman had
TO push her way through, so it was a
very easy matter for some one to
snatch her purse without being dis
covered. Rev. Irvine, who took the
same train, said he noticed she had
the pocket book just as she went to
step up on the first step.
II was only last week that another
purse was lost at the same place in a
somewhat similar manner. These
loafers should be kept away from the
depot, for many of them simply go
there to get in some of there bold
glmes-they are too lazy to work
and they are compelled to make their
living in some way.

Written for the Reveille.l
The most dangerous men of
community are not those who carry
arms and are proud of their prowess
and skill.
Nor The SuIlivans and Corbetts,
whose mighty muscles are trained
to strike out straight from the
shoulder and to conquer.
Neither are the highwaymen, who
take their desperate chances in tho
road and darkness, and who risk
their lives in n wild, perilous at
tempt TO outrage the laws and the
rights of others.
The liar, the braggart, the quick
tempered member of society, are
all more or less to be dreaded, but
their ability TO do evil is dwarfed
into insigniiicance by the side Of the
cool calculating villain, who, in the
broad light of day and under the
sheltering wings OF the code, watch
es his opportunity 10 injure any
and oil others, in secret and safety,
for his own financial, social or po-
litical advancement whose hand
never appears above the surface
whose tracks, like the Indians, are
always covered behind him who
feeds venal or weak men that he
may use them for his purposes and
then thrusts them degraded from
his presence-Happily for the peace
of the world such monsters are few.
But now and then, like the army
worm, the pestilence, the famine,
they make their appearance. Ono
pervades a neighbOrhood and high
business or social character is sud-
denly blasted. Old, defunct issues
are revived, wounds long healed
are re-opened. Inirmities of soul
or mind or body are suddenly lift
ed into prominent targets.
Men begin to look askance at the
very wife OF their bosom, poisonous
whispers are ahoat. The smiles of
daughters lose their innocent luslre,
sons seem invested with shame.
And the unwhipped and often un-
suspected author of all this woe
calmly proceeds TO gather mp the
valuables that have been LEFT scat
tered or unguarded in the confusion
and anguish that ho has created.

My parents designed that should
be a lawyer. and so ! studied the
law faithfully for five years, which
time was necessarily broken into
by vacations Of two or three months,
which / devoted to working by the
month, an occupation OF which |
was passionately fond. Whenever
the study of Coke and Blackstone
began to grow irksome, ] would
start up impulsively and secure out
door employment, by means of
which | obtained a good deal of
fresh air and new clothes with the
price mark still on them.

Mr.. Cleveland has already given
the spoilsmen emphatic notice that
they will find him no mere tool for
the distribution ol government pat
ronage. AT a private dinner gwen
by Mr.. Willard, of New York, last
week, the president-elecL rose to re-
spond to a toast, and in the course
of his remarks he said
"What shall our performance be
Of the contract we have made with
our countrymen and how we'll shall
we justify The trust they have re-
posed In us7 If we see nothing in
our victory but a license to rev.

Mt every point. If we merely pro.
fess to enter upon our work, and If
we make apparent on endeavor 10
do II as a cover for seeking partisan
advantages, we shall invite con-
tempt and Disgrace"
Again, on the 10Th inst, ut BAN
ouet spread in his honor by the
Manhattan Club, he said:
"The situation must be intelli-
gently met. No party can get the
support Of the masses of the voters
by merely promising offices, finan-
cial rewards or other attributes of
the spoiIs system. The whole peo-
pie will be satisfied with nothing
less than the redemption Of the
pledges made to them collectively,
The demonstration OF wise policies
and The giving Of an honest govern
