ers. You know that was hard and
tedious work, for Morgans men
were riders who never tired. Our
had been under marching
orders for about forty-eight hours,
if l remember rightly. Every
mothers son of us was dog tired.
There wasn't thing in the whole
to brace up a man with.
SO me and my pardner kept drop
ping back until we reached the ex-
treme rear of the cavalry line, and
secured the country for circuit OF
about half a mile, looking Tor some
of Kentucky's favorite. We got a
quart, which was about enough for
us two. We lost no time in putting
it where we thought it would do
the most good, and that wasn't in a
canteen. We then rode up to the
line.
"Capt. Luckett, who had us in
command, had discovered our alb
sence, but thought We had gone to
sleep in our saddles. He made an
order then and there that the next
man who was caught nodding in his
saddle or tagging would have tc
walk the next day. Me and my
pardner thought this a good chance
to play a joke. We kept vel
enough up with the line not to come
within Capt. Luckett's penalty, but
could keep a good lookout on those
at the end Of the line. As soon a.
we saw man nodding in the sad
die we would wait for him to come
up. If he was sound asleep w
would take his horses bride, leat
the animal over to the fence alont
the road and tie him to a post. W.

and before we got through we ha(

If Mr.. Justice Field really uttered
the sentiment, which has been at
tributed to him by SO respectable a
paper as the indianapolis Sentinel,
he has done more to foster the spir-
il Of unrest and the sense of being
against so widely
prevalent among the masses, than
all the Anarchists who took part in
the Haymarket riot could have ac-
complished in twice as long lives as
they yielded up on the scaffold.
There is no war Of the "poor"
against the "rich." There will be
none. There has been and there
will continue to be a mighty pro-
test against the inhuman inequali-
ties of the tax laws, and the discrim-

most always in favor of the "rich"
and against the poor" They
held that there would be constant
danger Of "a war Of the poor against
the rich,' Of the slave against the
master, if they decided the slave tc
be man, and so the court held
him to be a beast, a chattel, piece
Of property to be bought and sold
The sentiment attributed to Mr.. Jus

The most horrible impositions on
the credulity Of suffering humanity
are the many advertisements offer
ing Malt Whisky, Bitters, pure
wines, and other poisonous alco-
holic liquors as remedies for heart
failure, debility, and nerve disor-
ders generally. This is the most
perniclous villainy, and should be
suppressed as a much worse evil
than lotteries or gambling. Its
atrocity is only exceeded by the
reasonable sanction OF license for
a price, to sell these alcoholic poi
sons as beverages on the most fire.
quented thoroughfarcs.
As a medicine, alcoholic bever-
ages cheat both patient and doctor,
and frequently produce results far
worse than the disease. Extensive
hospital practice both in this coun-
try and in Europe proves the great
benefits Of an entire exclusion ol
this poison as remedy, Other
agents bei~g used which are quite
as efficient, but not followed by the
paralyzing or supplying effects o.
alcohol's corrosive poison.

Tho summer Petticoat.

Many women complain OF the weight
of the haircloth petticoat in the sum

a skirt OF mohair, cut exactly as If it

Ave rows, quite close to each other, OF
the narrow whalebones that come for
this purpose, They are mounted in the
center OF braid that, extending be-
yond the bone ON each side, makes it
easy to sew the bands to position. This
bone is pliable, as the best quality OF
whalebone is used, and it certainly will
hold the skirt exactly as fashion die
tates. A cheap arrangement OF whale-
bone which is covered, but which has
no extension of braid like that de-
scribed, is seen, but l can not recon-
mend it, as in sewing it on, the needle
would be apt to go through the whale
bone, and once it is split no wear can
be expected from it. The one of which

It is all very we'll for children to s
honor their parents simply because
they are such, but the mere fact OF thu
parental relation does not in our opin-
ION furnish full and sufficient reason
In itself for enthusiasm unless 1t is
backed by those sterling quali-
ties that clear-headed, good-hearted
and honest youngsters can adj

to say that If more men and women
would make themselves worthy OF the
love and confidence of their children,
they would be much more likely to get
them. Little ones have extremely
keen eyes and sensitive dispositions
and Compartments. They know very
we'll whether their parents are up to
standard or entirely lacking In the
qualities that make them worthy OF
esteem and confidence It is scarcely
worth while to argue with child on
such things. Love and respect can
never be commanded or forced II

Not long since q young man was ar

/ court asked h ow he came to fall into

rassed and troubled; but the judge in
sisted on an answer, asking him direct
ly how it happened that he thought
such a course to be right. He finally
admitted that he began such practices

so, and, after some cross-questioning.
said that when he was. q youth his
father was very fond OF sharp prac-

The boy had followed the same

succeeded in getting fifty dollars from

and on his own showing he was under
