An Unnatural Informer.

A court officer in Jersey City, N. J.,,
in the course of some "reminiscences OF
queer litigants and lawyers, writes that
some seven or eight years ago an un
natural application was made to the
court 1t was made by man who claimed
that he was entitled to reward oil
thirty dollars He had given informa-
tion which led to the capture of desert,
or from the army, and he understood that
he was entitled to the reward. On refer
ence to the record it was found that the
reward had already been paid to the po,,
liceman who arrested the deserter, ana
he appeared to have deserved it. as he
had a long chase after the man. During
the dispute which ensued, a remark was
made which caused the judge to make
an exclamation of surprise. Addressing
the applicant he asked, "Who did you
saw the deserter is2" The man blushed
and hung his head. "He is my brother, .
he said at last. 'Do you mean, In,
outred the Judge, "that you informed
AGAINST your own brotherW The man
stammered, but finally admitted that ne
had done so. He expected that the
brother would be arrested and somebody
would get the reward, and as he wanted
money he thought he might as well nave
it as any one else. "Well," SAID the
Judge. 81 am glad that you are not 10
ret it; you ought to be ashamed OF
Yourself" The majority of the people
will be of the judges opinion. A man
who would betray his own brother 1or
the sake OF money must be the meanes'

WHAT NEXT,

When the Republican organs were
forced by the weight Of public opinion
to abandon their efforts 10 create bust
ness panic by blaming the effects of Re-
publican silver legislation on the
threat of Democratic free trade" they
took another tack and tried to frighten
the people into the belief that
President CLEVELAND was at
deaths door. The basis Of
this attempted scare was an ulcer
ated tooth in the Presidents jaw, upon
which a surgical operation had to be
perIUrmeu. Inc operate" $3.50 "a sHo
sim plest character, and consisted OF
pulling two teeth and removing par
ticle OF bone. 1t was magnified by the
able liar, who is correspondent from
New York for the Philadelphia Press,
into cancerous growth SIM
liar to that which caused
the death OF Gen. GRANT.
The dentists and surgeons who per-
formed the operation promptly denied
this in the New York Tribune which
published interviews with them in
which they stated most emDhaticallV
that Mr.. CLEVELAND had been suffer-
ing from nothing more than a bad tooth
and was in the best of health. This Is
corroborated by the Washington Post
which says that "enough is known from
official and authoritative sources con-
corning the health Of the President to
warrant the assurance that he is in ex-
ceIlent physical condition aud that no
spprehensions need be entertained OF
his breaking down under the burden OF
labor and responsibility imposed upon
him.
ut may also be added that there has
been at no time this season any occa-
sion for fear upon this point. He has
simply been advised 10 take needful
rest and run no unnecessary risks. All
reports to the contrary may be set
down as gross exaggerations, and the
various grave ailments which he is said
to have or to be threatened with exist
only in the imagination Of the sensation
mongers.
This" says the Post, sis good new;
and reliable rews. The people Of the
country, one and all, will be glad tc
hear IT, They all trust, irrespective oil
party, that he may long be spared and
that his administration may prove the
success which it is his patriotic ambi'
ton it should be-"
In other words the President is al
right.
What fabrication will the desperate
and discredited leaders of the Repuo
lican party next inventP

A Train, All But the Rear Car, Which
Was Empty, Passed Over . sinking
Bridge.
RUTLAND VT, September The
New York express on the Bennington
and Rutland railroad rushed yesterday
al speed OF forty miles an hour on
Child's bridge. over Otter Creek. The
train consisted Of mail car, day
coach and two sleeping cars. When
the engine got fairly on the structure it
began TO sink. Engineer Frank Curtis
pulled the throttle wide open. All the
cars crossed Ia safety except the rear
sleeper, which was empty. The bridge
collapsed just as the forwsrd truck OF
the last coach passed over. The rear
end Of the car fell into the creek
fifteen feet below-the coupling broke.
A colored porter. the only occupant Of
the car was uninjured. Thirty-fve
passengers were asleep In the next
coach and were lie ignorance Of their
narrow escape from death. An exam
iIaton Of the wreck OF the bridge
proved that there had been deliberate
attempt to wreck the train. All the
nuts and bolts that fastened the needle
beams TO the track had been removed,
leaving the bridge supported only by
the lateral rods. The high rate ef
speed had the excellent condition OF the
track alone delayed the bridges fall un-
til most OF the train had crossed. Rob-
berry is the only motive assignable for
the crime. The police are searching
for two tramps who were seen loafng
near the bridge Tuesday. The job
could not have been done without
heavy tools and it must have required
several hours Of hard work TO do II.

THEY NEED aELp.

The recent calamity that visited the
South Carolina coast and swept away
lives by the thousand and devastated
the country has left ten Of thousands
destitute and starving.
They are mostly negroes. Their
plantations and their crops-their all
are gone. They are left absolutely
helpless.
These people do not possess the re-
Operative powers of the white race
under similar circumstances. Thous-
andS OF whites along the Carolina coast
are in the same predicament but they
will manage to recover and rebuild
their destroyed industries, but their
colored fellow sufferers, whose sole
support was what they produced from
the earth, are less able both by nature
and circumstances to recover. They
are helpless, without food and shelter,
and without the means or genius of
obtaining them. And these destitute.
who are as helpless children, are num-
bered by the thousands.
1t is the duty Of the North to aid the
South in supplying their needs.
1t has been said that it will be i'm
possible to prevent many Of them
from starving to death, even
though the most prompt assist
ance be forthcoming, on account
OF their location and the inability OF
adequate help from the main
land to reach them in time. This state
ment will furnish some insight into the
terrible plight OF these distressed peo-
pie, and the extent and immediate char
acter Of their wants.
The whole country sympathizes with
them, but what they want is food,
clothing and money. Ths proverbial
generosity OF the American people
should be promptly exerted in this case.
IT is proposed to establish pension
list tor disabled civilian employees OF
the government. The proposition is
just and reasonable. II disabled and
superannuated employees IN the naval
and military branches OF the govern
ment service are entitled to pensions
and governmental care, those SIM
ilarly disabled In the civil service are
entitled to the same consideration. The
establishment of such a pension list
would be mere drop in the pension
bucket, but it would be justice to many
a servant of the United States who is as
deserving Of such governmental aid as
any soldier or sailor who shed his blood
in battle for his country.
