In St. Petersburg drunkenness is pun
ished in an original manner. The often
der, no matter what his social position,
is made to sweep the streets. Well
attired gentlemen, some of them in
dress suits, are occasionally seen sweep
ing the streets after a nights carouse.

The man who makes an open, manly
fight against you, always wins your
admiration and respect. The man who
wages war upon you when your back is
turned is like the cur that snaps at your
heels. That man belongs to the same
class with the writer of anonymous
letters.-St. Peter Herald.
Virginia should get a curry comb and
scrape little of the moss off it's sacred
soil. Two Virginia justices have de-
cided that Belva Lockwood is not COM
petent to expound the law because she
does not wear the attire adopted by the
majority of the legal profession Pants
are the principal requisites, it would
appear, for practising at the Virginia
bar.-Toledo Blade.
Gold brick men, green goods men,
lightning rod sharks, cloth peddlers, and
other confidence men do not commit
greater crimes against society than
some of the democrats in Congress with
the prefix Hon" to their names. They
have come confidence game on the en-
tire American people, and will ask for
an endorsement of their game next No.

The day has gone by forever when a
woman wrenged by a man must bear
all the shame and obloquy alone. The
day has come when the man, the be-
trayer, the tempter, the pursuer, must
bear his share of the public reproach.
In the long, unequal contest of right
and wrong in the past, woman has
always gone down and men has held
his head in the air and been fawned up
on by society. But the tide has turned

Procrastination is the weapon which
many lawyers rely on most to defeat
justice. They appreciate the force of
the maxim that che who gains time
gains everything" After few con-
tinuances public interest in the case
dies out. There is good reason to be-
lieve that when the Angel Gabriel
blows his trumpet a vast army of law
yers will rise up and, from sheer force
of habit move for continuance of the
case.-Texas Siftings.
The Saltwater Journal claims that
the Messenger, Gazette and Journal, Of
Saltwater, are the only legal papers
in that city. What's the matter with
THE PRISON MIRROR, Bro. Nelson, it is
seven years old and is bright, spark
ling and most readable sheet. BY the
way, Editor SchOonmaker has enlarged

MIRROR is decidedly neat and credit
able sheet, and contains more good read

Don't sit in corner and NOPE be-
cause things are not going just as you
would like. A disagreeable face will
not alter a disagreeable fact. Try to
extract some grain of comfort out of
your Universities, never despair. Under
whatever circumstances, be cheerful
and hope on. There is nothing so phil
osophical as a smile. A merry heart is
the height of wisdom. The greater
part of our griefs will disappear when
viewed through the lenses of cheerful
ness. Let the dark past sink out OF
sight. Look toward the SUNRISE Gay
