efficacy of the plea.
In different guise, that of a sailor,
also yearning to impoverish himself,
the same crafty McManus induced the
Misses Agnes Rockwell and Alma
Scott to temporarily transform their
apartments on O'Farrell street into a
barroom. So nautical were his make
up and his manner that neither Miss
Rockwell nor Miss Scott hesitated to
obey when he demanded to be served
with "a little drink" Miss Rockwell
told the desk sergeant that she al
most had cat At when their visitor
stood revealed In his true colors. and
Miss Scott informed the same author
ity that anyone could have knocked
her down with straw when McMan-
us flashed his star. They will tell
Judge Mogan more about 1t to-mor-
row.
So varied and ingenious and decep-
tive are the DISCUSSES in which Nc
Manus prowls the tenderloin in quest
of blind pigs that the illegal traf-
fic is greatly impeded by the fear of
its conductors that they may be taken
in and done for by him. Indeed, some
of the more cautious lawbreakers in
sist on being presented with a certif-
icate of identity ere they consent to
sell "a little drink" to any one. In
the language OF an admiring brother
policeman, "McManus has em buffa-
loed."
Nobody volunteered enlightenment
as to how or why Charles Hoffman,
hackdriver, obtained his sobriquet Of
|. Nellie the Pups" nor did Judge Ca
baniss press for information on that
point. Sufficed it for him that Mr..
Hoffman complained that he was bat
tered by w. H. Van Horn, also hack
driver, in the Club Stables, on Taylor
street. Mr. Van Horn averred that his
nose was jumped upon by Mr.. Hoff-
man ere he committed the alleged bat
terry, and the hearing was then con-
tinued for one month.
''Theo Russell, woman" is the
way it is written on Judge Mogan' s
calendar, because Bailiffs Hickey and
Mahoney secured the corridors OF the
Hall of Justice in vain effort to IND
Theo Russell, man. The charge was
vagrancy and the defendant was at
large on bail.
I'VE can't find him" said Bailin
Hickey breathlessly to the bench. and
the Judge was about to order the bail
forfeited when f1ashily attired young
woman arose from among the spec
tators and proclaimed herself Theo
Russell So taken aback was the court
that 1t continued the case till next
week in order to give itself time to
recover from the shock.

LINCOLN IN TWO SPEECHES.

We give below extracts from two
speeches made by Abraham Lincoln,
one in 1854 and the other in 1858.
They clearly show that the enfran-
chisement OF the negro was a thing he
never for a moment considered. And
but for the aSSaSSin'S bullet robbiHg
the nation of this good man, partisan
and sectional feeling would have never
run so high, and saaer measures would
have followed as a result of the war,
which would have redounded to the
good of both North and South, and of
the negro as well as the white man.:
October, lS54.-'Free them, and
make them politically and socially
| equal to the white race. My own
feelings will not admit of this; and if
mine would, we well know that those
of the great mass of the white people
will not; therefore, we cannot make
them our equals"
August 81, 1S58.-''I, as well as
Judge Douglass, am in favor of the
race to which l Belong and it's having
the superior position. | have never
said anything to the contrary: l will
say that j am ik favor OF the white
race, and never have been in favor of
bringing about, in any way, the social
or the political equality OF the white
and black races: that | am not and
never have been in favor of making
voters or jurors Of negroes, nor OF
qualifying them to hold office. l will
say this-there is physical difference
which will forever forbid the white
and the black races on terms Of social
and political equality, and while they
do remain together there must be the
position of superior and inferior"

COUNTY FARMS IMPRACTICAL.

Much is being said by the press of
the State about the adjustment Of
the county convict lease system. 1t
is urged that the counties must own
or operate a farm upon which
the county criminals unfortunates
must be made to labor.
1t is our aim never to oppose any
thing that appeals to the tender side
of humanity and that tends to soften
the rough places in life's rocky way
and promote the good Of the commu-
nifty. But this, like almost every
other question, must be studied from
more than one viewpoint. There is a
practical side to this matter. There
is a business feature that must not be
submerged beneath the waves of a
mistaken sentiment and a desire to
simply bring about a new order OF
things.
Should each county undertake to
operate a farm, this confusing queS-
ton is presented: How much labor,
how many hands, may be expected to
be in the hands of the county to Guilt
vate the crops? Various amounts OF
fines and different terms Of impriSon'
ment are imposed upon prisoners. One
prisoner may be on the farm ten days,
another fifteen, and SO on. When
ever the money is presented to pay
the cost and fine imposed, the prison
err must be liberated, and so the
amount Of labor to be had cannot be
calculated upon with any degree OF
certainty. Today there may be {
surplus. Tomorrow There may bt
none.
And as for abuses. they are almost
as liable to occur on a county's farm
as on the farm Of a county contractor
Cruel and inhuman treatment is fire.
q%uently charged to the managers or
the States farms. Prisoners should
not be cruelty treated. Their phySi
cal we'll being should be well cared
for. but the terrorS of the law SHOULD
not be too much Softened. Punish
ment should be severe enough to bt
dreaded, so much so that a prisoneI
should abhor the arm Of the Law
reaching him a second time.
We do not believe that many cOun
ties could operate a farm except at (;
considerable loss Of money.

JUDGE COCHRAN DETERMINED.

A few days since, Judge Cochran
convened the circuit court in Wins

court until noon on Wednesday, two
days and a half, he abruptly adjourned
the term, giving among his reasons
that he would not be a party TO a
farce. The Judge said he had prom

intended to make good his word.
Up to the time of adjournment there
had been five trials of criminal cases
which had resulted i'm two ~acquitals
and three hung jurieS. The Judge
evidently was OF the impression that
juries had been fixed" land that the
atmosphere around the court house
vas not of the healthy kind.

No taste to it? Well, by the hen

Times man must be color blind in the
palate. They tell us, those who have
tried, that it tastes like the double
distilled essence of honey spread thick
ON a piece of pumpkin pie. Away
back in the dim and joyful years ago,
when we lost all III teeth and our
cinch on the beauty prize, the prettiest
girl in all the world told us with her
own eyes that it felt like a covey Of

ed up with a sensation like a flock of

REAL FRIENDSHIP FOR THE NEGROES

The Georgia Daughters of the Con-
federacy have inaugurated a move
ment to provide a home for Superan-
nuated negroes and feeble e~x-slaves.
Leslie'S Weekly, a Northern Journal !,
has the following to say in reference
to the spirit that animates these noble
Georgia women:
1t is a truly noble spirit that has
! prompted the Georgia Daughters of
the Confederacy to inaugurate u move
ment to establish homes all over the
south for aged and feeble eX-slaves:
| the idea being to put those who serv-
ed the south faithfully during the war
where they will not suffer from the
poverty that has come as their lot
since they were given freedom.
The scheme is to purchase a farm OF
four hundred acres to begin with. on
which the inmates of the first home
will be located. The work of the
place will be allotted among them sc
as to make them self-supporting as
| far as possible. Whatever the faults
and foibles of the negroes, it is to be
| remembered, to their everlasting cred
it, that when they were left in charge
| of the property and homes of their
masters during the progress of the
civil wal they were faithful to their
trust, at the sacrifice often OF what
appeared to be their own personal in
tereStS.
The sentiment prompting the
Georgia women to provide this home.
is the sentiment that pervadeS every
southern heart towards the good dar-
| kew and the old eX-Slaye.

PREACHER HUNTING AN EASY PLACE.

With the very rarest exception, the !
of our day are God-fearing men,
jealous Christians and endeavoring to
do the Masters will. They feel that
they have been divinely called into
the ministry, and believe that God
will direct them to the pastorate that
their talents are best suited to fill.
Frequently the way is uneven to them
and their lives do not fall in pleasant
places, but they proceed with their
labOrs with q meekness and a love
born in heaven, and leave results and
their personal welfare with Him who
and is in keeping with the divine
plan.
Occasionally the polite preacher is
found. One that is always playing
for place, wasting q good deal Of his
best energies, and utilizing much Of
the time Of his best friends in his en-
deavor to find something better."A
few days ago the editor OF The Sentinel
received a newspaper clipping, with a
request to insert in The Sentinel, con-
tanning some very fulSome expressions
about the great power, force and elo-
ouence of a certain Methodist divine,
now living in a distant state. There
was such q contradiction between the
caliber of the aforesaid minister and
the overlooking eulogies contained in
the article that we heSitated about
reproducing it,. In a few days the
mails brought us this letter: PLEASE
do not send me The Sentinel any
longer" Now we are shedding no
tears about losing a subscriber, but

should have such sinister prompt

CLEAN THE TOWN THOROUGHLY.

Yellow fever in New Orleans, three

We have not forgotten the lessons
taught us by Gen. Wood in Havana
There has been no fever there since
the thorough sanitation given thai
city by him shortly after the close OF
the Spanish-American war. There
are some things that might be worse
than yellow fever, and that is needless
fright. People, too frequently, lose
their head when there is a quarantine
and fever is being discussed. Like ;
wise and sensible general, we should
choose our own battle ground-w'
should prepare 1t, and then we are il
a position to deal with any dreaded
enemy.

the disease a hundred fold better nov
