HARTMAN. Tenn, July 2s.-The un.
earthing Of large quantity Of stolen
silverware, gold lined snufboxes, ETC.,
IN cave near Jasper, this state, has
created a sensation. The story beats
fiction long way. During the winter
of 1861 the Federal soldiers were en-
camped for some time on Battle creek
Among them was an Ohio regiment
Not long since a gentleman appeared IN
the neighborhood and told the follow
ing story:
He was a member Of the Ohio regi-
ment referred to, and in his mess was q
soldier who was a born thief and who
never let an opportunity pass 10 steal
anything he could carry away During
the time they were encamped at the
mouth of Battle creek he hid his steal
ings in cave, and so clever was he ia
his work that no suspicion ever fen upon
him. A short time ago the two old
comrades were together talking over
their experiences, when the story Of the
stolen silverware was told and the re-
quest made that the gentleman referred
70 visit the locality, search for the cave,
and if possible recover the hidden silver
ware and restore the articles 10 the
rightful owners or their heirs.
The old soldier who had so many
years ago gone wrong is getting aged
and feeble, and to ease his conscience
and make reparation, as far as in his
power, he begged his old commander to
DO this for him. He was successful in
finding not only the place. but the plum
der. At least 200 pounds Of silverware
of every kind almost were found in the
cave, ranging from napkin rings to solid
silver water sets. Many of the articles
have the owners initials on them, and
all are in n good state Of preservation.
The articles have been taken to a store
in the village near by, and are being
turned over to those entitled TO them az
rapidly as possible

He is not so fond of David our David is of him,

That I've known sometimes of early birds that did

Young David killed giant with pebble from his

The odds rather heavy, though, against that

For the centuries bring changes-and the giant

While our David's virtues slumber in innocuous

The editor of the St. Paul Dispatch, in
commenting upon an article on the treat
ment of juvenile delinquents which APP
peared in the Indepedent, says of boys and
girls who are victims of poverty and evil
associations, lit is wholly different in re-
gard to boys and girls who are the victims
of poverty and evil associations. Prompt
action in their cases is always the key to
success. If taken from their polluted sur
rOundingS before their moral natures be-
come wholly depraved there is in the great
majority of cases future of promise before
them. This is the uniform conclusion of
those who contribute their views to the In
dependent Nor is the work of such insti-
tutiOns without its effect on society in the
aggregate. The statistics of the police
courts. cited by the secretary of the Chill
dren's Aid society in his article. show that
while the commitments of boys and girls
numbered in New York. in 1875, GIT, and.
in 1876, 976, they have decreased until. dur
ing 1889, they only reached 461, and in
1890. 800. One of the most gratifying of
the conclusions reached by those enlight-
ened and experienced men is that, with a
single exception, their experience does not
bear out the theory that the children of
drunken, degraded and criminal parents are
the victims of heredity. On the contrary.

In the Month for February the Rev. John
Norris, the Jesuit. who served as Diocesan
Secretary both to Cardinal Manning and
Cardinal Wiseman. tells story on the au-
thOrity of Boyle O'Reilly, the Irish Fenian
who heard Cardinal Manning preach to the
prisoners at Millbank: ''While at Millbank
he said the favorite topic for sermons to
the prisoners was the Prodigal Son. They
were all weary to death of the PrOdigal Son
and hated his very name. One day a
stranger came to preach in the Jail chapel.
They knew by his violet cassOck that he
was some one out of the ordinary. AS
usual he began about the PrOdigal Son. and
the cOnvicts settled themselves down to
sulky inattention. But in very few min
utes they were all listening eagerly, and
after few minutes more the tears began to
steal down the rough cheeks of several.
Before the sermon was over hardened ruff
fans were sobbing, so touching was the
simple description of the home of the prod
igal, the picture of his old father and heart
broken mother, of the innocent joys of his
childhood. and of it's contrast with his after
degradation and self-reproach. That SER
mon left deep mark on the remembrance
of all who heard it. and Boyle O'Reilly said
that apart from all his love for Cardinal
Manning for his devotion to the cause of
his country, the remembrance of that SER
mon had endeared him TO him for all the
rest of his life "-Review of Reviews.

BIGOTRY.

The spirit of bigOtry that has so long
dominated the spirit of liberality is in these
days fast losing its power. It was not long
ago that the insane were stoned to death in
the streets like mad dogs or hanged and
burned as witches. To- day those unfOrtu-
mates are objects OF the most tender solicit
tude. To injure one of them is looked
upon as an atrociOus crime and never fails
to call forth furious storm of public indig
nation. Just so certain as the day of
stoning. hanging and burning the insane has
passed away, the day of the full emancipa-
ton of the social outcast is in the not dis.
tant future. The time was, not very long
ago, that person once fallen under con-
demnatiOn for crime could not hope to rise
again. Once criminal he was always a
criminal Not only he but his whole fam
lily were made Outcasts-his upright parents,
steady brothers and virtuOus sisters his
honest wife and innocent children, all were
Stunned and driven out of ''gOOd society,""
This is the case to day only among the very
ignorant and in that Goldfish aristocracy for
which the intelligent poor as we'll as true
aristocrats feel contempt. The tendency
of the present day is to extend sympathy
and protection to those who have been put
to shame by the acts of members of their
families. 1t should not be otherwise. No
one of common or even uncommon reason
ing powers could frame plausible excuse
for Ostracising the virtuOus wife and innocent
children because of the downfall of the huS-
band and father. There are not much bet
ter grounds for reasoning that the man who
has transgressed the law and been punished
for it should not be allowed to work his
way back to the social position from which
he fell. Until that possibility has been as
sured to men there will be great waste of
money and energy in efforts to redeem those
who have fallen into the way of crime. II
is little use to attempt to reform men in
prison so long as they are to be treated as
Outcasts on becoming ex. cOnvicts. The
world has done this for ages, but no one OF
understanding has been able to say that il
has made the world any better. The in.
clinatiOn to day is to value man for what
he shows himself to be worth irrespective
of what he has been or what his father has
been. The enterprising West is full of mer

COMMENT ON REID.

New York, June 13.-The morning
papers comment variously on the nomi-
nation Of Whitelaw Reid for vice presi-
dent. The Press says the nomination is
a merited recognition of the power Of
journalism as molder and educator of
public opinion. Mr.. Reid will command
the special confidence Of the conservative
business in this country.
The Times says it is a great honor that
has come to Mr.. Reed from his party.
That he has deserved it there is no
doubt, or If his desert is scant he will
promptly take measures to repair the
defect. AS such things are reckoned
Mr.. Reids nomination Is an honor to the
newspaper calling.
The Herald says that as long ago as
the middle Of February 1t took occasion
to refer to Nh. Whitelaw Reid as the
strongest candidate for second place on
the party's ticket.
The Recorder says that Mr.. Reid de-
serves well OF the party that he has
faithfully and intclligently served. The
Republican party has paid q tribute to
journalism by this nomination.
