LEES UPS AND DOWNS.
Magnificent Revenge the Governor of
 Missouri Took on a Prisoner.

Missouri Took on a Prisoner.
 A few years ago, while Robert Stew art was governor of Missouri, a steamboat man was brought in from the penitentiary as an applicant for a pardon. He was large, powerful fel- low, and when the governor looked at him, he seemed strangely affected. He scrutinized him long and closely Finally he signed a document that re- stored the prisoner to liberty. Before he handed it to him he said: You will commit some other crime and be in the penitentiary again, fear"
 The man solemnly promised that he wo' d not. The governor looked doubtful, unused a few minutes, and said:
 You will go back on the river and be mate agair, l suppose?'
 The man re-! d that he would
 Well, I want you to promise me one thing" resumed the governor T want you to pledge your word that, when you are mate again, you will never take a billet of wood in your hand and drive a sick boy out of a bunk to help you load your boat on a stormy light" The steamboat man said he would not, and inquired what the governor meant by asking him such a question.
 The governor replied: Because some day, that boy may become a gov- ernor, and you may want him to par don you for crime. One dark stormy night, many years ago, you stopped your boat on the Mississippi river to take on load of wood. There was boy on board who was working his passage from New Orleans to St. Louis, but he was very sick of fever and he was lying in a bunk. You had plenty of men to do the work, but you went to thnt boy with a stick of wood in your hand and drove him with blows and curses out into the wretched night and kept him toiling like slave until the load was completed was that boy. Here is your pardon. Never aGain ko guilty Of such brutal itH''

"When / was a working boy in
Pittsburg, Colonel Anderson, of

he was in attendance ut his house

Editorial vigilance is the only
safeguard against errors in maya
zine-makiDg. Every article that
is published in The Ladies Home
journal, for instance, is read at
least four times in manuscript
form and all statements of fact
verified before it goes to the prin-
ter. Then it is read and revised
by the proof-readers; goes back
to the author for his revision; is
re-read by the editors three or
more times, at different stages !;
and again by the proof-readers
possibly half "a dozen times addi-
tional. Thus each article is read
at least fifteen and often twenty
times after leaving the authors
hands until 1t reaches the public
eye. But with all this unremit-
ting vigilance errors of the most
obvious kind occasionally escape
observation until perhaps the final
reading, but it is rare, indeed that
an inaccuracy hides itself in the
pages securely enough to &C

NEW ORLEANS NEGROES.

For several weeks past the law
less element among the negroes
of New Orleans have been doing
much mischief and threatening
even more serious trouble. 10 is
we'll for the city and its negro po-
pulation that these disorders have
caused the better, class of negroes
to organize themselves into law
and order leagues and to use their
influence actively for the cause of
good and decent government.
Last Monday night a great num-
Der of negroes attended law and
order meetings which were held
at several of their churches.
At every one of these meetings
sensible speeches were made and
excellent resolutions adopted.
The meeting at the Fourth Afri-
can Baptist church, where the at
tendance was very large, the views
and principles of the meeting we're
expressed in the following resoiu-
tions, which were adopted unani-
mously:
"Resolved, That as an earnest
OF our sincerity of purpose, We, las
a body representing the intelligent
and respectable negroes OF New
Orleans, do hereby respectfully
petition the authorities to aid our
efforts by the prompt closing of
the many dives and dens scattered
over our city that are but so many
schools of vice and hiding places
of thieves, murderers and other
worthless characters; be it furth.
er
"Resolved, That we hereby also
petition our honorable mayor to
refuse permits for the giving of
low balls and other vicious en-
tertainments INDUCED in by the |
worst element of the race; be it
further
Resolved, That we urge n
strlcter enforcement of State laws
and city ordinances against craps
shooting, vagrancy and other dis
gusting practices of idle ana
worthless men and women.
These resolutions are highly
creditable to the negroes " o
adopted them. Such action goes
far toward the protection of both
whites and negroes from vicious
and dangerous influences and
helps to establish the friendly re-
iatieas betweengsthe Yrespectablef
elements Of bothraces which are
so highly advantageous to both.
1t is to the interest of decent,
law abiding negroes everywhere
to difforentiato themselves as
clearly as possible from that ele-
ment of their race which docs 80
much to lnjure them and deter
their progress.
The good negroes of New Or
leans have set a noble example.
