a Kentnckv Indictment.

"A few years ago a Kentucky grand
jury brought in an indictment in which
it stated that the defendant did un-
lawfully, willfully and maliciously kill
and destroy one pig, the personal prop
erty of George Pigg, the said pig being
of value to the aforesaid George Pigg.
The pig thus killed weighed about
twenty-five pounds and was mate of
some other pigs owned by said George
Pigg, which left George Pigg pig less
than he said George Pigg) had of pigs,
and thus ruthlessly tore said pig from
the society of George Pigg's other pigs
against the peace and dignity of the
commonwealth of Kentucky"

from us forever, perhaps, that makes

In THE death of Prof Swing, Chicago
has lost one of it's most brilliant pulpit
orators, and the world a generous,
broad minded man. Liberal in all his
views, his was a generous and noble
manhood: possessing a personality that
made him hosts of friends, who, in his
dark hour of trial and persecution
showed their faith in him by coming to
his assistance. He will not only be
missed by many of Chicago's best citi-
zens, who have had the pleasure of
listening to his eloquent lectures, but by
many an unfortunate being who has
received favOrs from his kindly hand.

THE WASHINGTON D. G. grand jury

against members of the sugar trust,

moment believe that the case would
ever leave the district attorneys office.
But in these days of senatorial white
washings, and with friends behind the

few are convicted; and we don't have

THE MIRROR is weekly paper published
in the Minnesota State Prison. 1t was founded
in 1887 by the prisoners and is edited and man
aged by them. Its objects are to be a home
newspaper; to encourage moral and intellectual
improvement among the prisoners to acquaint
the public with the true STATUS fthe prisoner;
todisseminate pathological information and to aid
in dspelling that prejudice which has ever been
the bar sinister to fallen mans selfredemptiOn.
The paper is entirely dependent on the public for
its financial support. If at any time there should
accrue a surplus of funds. the money would be
expended in the interests of the prison library.

dailies it is becoming more and more
difficult with each succeeding number
to draw the line between legitimate
reading matter and paid advertising.
1t is no uncommon thing to find what

dote in the beginning, deteriorate ere
crossed, into the fishy tail Of Horace's
Ars Poetico; it is customary even to
wind up local with the exhortation to
'Try MeIlin's Baby Food but when it
comes to prostituting the almighty edi-
tOrial WE to base uses we confess that
it is about time "the turn" were called.
What is stirring our bile in this instance
is the editorial write-up which precedes
the frequent appearance of James Whit
comb Riley on the public stage, or the
altogether too frequent happening of
new volume by that gifted author. We
do not seriously object to his appearance
on the lecture platform: if he can draw
paying audiences, he is in luck and we
bear him no envy; neither do we make
any urgent protest against his writing
and publishing; if he be afflicted with
cocoethes scribeadi, and the scribbling
brings shekels to his pocket-let him
write and publish. What we do resent
and deplore is the custom now obtain
ing in the afore- mentioned great dailies
of inserting Rileys paid advertisement
of his own or of his books coming ap-
pearance, in such language and in such
a position upon the editorial page, as to
leave the Journals readers in quandary
as to whether or not it be the outspoken
utterance of the editors literary views.
If the aduiatory matter were but the
least bit true; if the criticism approached
in anyWise to just appreciation of the
author and his works, we could the
more easily forgive the ingenious adj
vertiser for befoOling us; but when it
comes to seating the callow bard Of
hoosierdom at the same table with such
genuine poets as Poe, Longfellow,
Lowell and Holmes, and advancing so
distinguished Htterateaw as E. c..

we would like to see the line of dem

NOTHING has a greater tendency to

NOTHING has a greater tendency to
lift fallen man up, to encourage, and
inspire him with a desire to live a
nobler and better life than kindness.
The kind word spoken, the kind act
performed, softens the heart and at
tracts the mind toward the pure and
the good; while harshness steels and
brutalizes them. There is particular
tenderness due to fellow being under
any affection; not only that we may
not vex those whom God has wounded,
or prosecute those whom He hath
afflicted, but because people are more
susceptible of resentment, in proper
ton to the greatness of their distress.
How frequently it occurs that a child
with no wrong intent, commits some
little error; and instead of taking that
child to the heart and talking to it
kindly, pointing out to it's young mind

gentle way, the parent scolds, and Oft
times chastises it, creating GOODNESS
on the part of the child, that perhaps
enters so deep into the young heart
that nothing can ever efface; moulds
its entire future; for the character of
the man is but the reflection of the
teachings of the child. Character

this can never be done through harsh

The great family life of America
does not represent opulence. III it
stands for any thing it stands for com
fort, but not for plenty. We can all
afford to recognize the Christ-lilxs
spirit of Christmas, which teaches us
to remember by some loving token
those nearest and dearest to us. But
only =. lew can afford to follow the
prese method of extravagant and
senseless giving. Generosity is a
synonym the world over for the Amer
lean; but true generosity is OF the
heart and of the heart alone. If one
has been more fortunate than the
other in the requirement of means.
and the will is present, then, say, by
all means give largely and widely.
But let such giving be measured olly
by true feeling and that spirit mani
tested as Il can be. so that others, less
fortunate Of means, shall not feel that
they are obliged to do what really they
cannot afford to do. IL will not harm
us if. in this respect, we 60 back a lit
tie to the times that are past. No one
then heard all this talk about the
duty of giving at holiday-time. People
gave because it was a pleasure TO
give; they liked to give, aud they
gave what they could. A Christ
mas present then meant more than it
does now. in that its only association
was the day and the spirit of the givcr.
Times were simpler, it is true. and
wants were fewer. But il we have
progressed, and presents are possible
to-day which were out of the reach of
our forefathers, the spirit can at least
remain the same. We need not depart
from principles as we grow. We
should adhere the closer to them if
