Ho was n rcmniably handsome 'mountain eer, tall nnd strorjg, dnd ho looked on honest labor ni riiilto berJcath him. His word was his bpnd ; ho contracted no debts thit ho' could nbt pay, yet ho itcn cut up a ,iat steer and dtviveu tho meat among bis neighbors, who sent m vect'tablcs'and groceries in return. and nover asked Wlicro tbo fat steer bod corau from. Perhabs they' knew, When a herd pasaHl aionc the du tV high-road tho wOmbn smiled at each other nnd said ; "I fuess We'll havo some fresh meat to-morrow.'' Soraotlmos iho' would drive into town with n team ofJiigh-steppingl, Smooth coated horses attached to his, rusty old buckboafd. Then his ffionds crowded about tridrn, stroking thb glpssy necks, examining tha white teeth, but rio ond in this litllo IIormon settlement oveif thdught of inijairiug whero be got them. Dick Jfjhns6h'. was th kinddst. Of men to his lncnas and tamiiy; yet lib had his record. He would bo lynched promptly if bo" should ever return to Montana ; he had shot a bridgekeoper who demanded toll of him, and, al together, tho deaths of a half-dozen men, were caused by tho well known fact that "Olo Dick wnz mighty lively with his pistols when ho got 'nuff whis ky aboard." His wife did not always have a good print dress to wear to town, tho child ren wero seldom supplied with shoes, but sho always seemed contented and lazily happy, nnd thcro was not a merrier set ot little ones. Too mother was a fairhaired, bluo-eyed woman, and the children all looked like her. "Tbo children mostly awl looks like me," she would say, with an amiable smilo ; "awl of 'cm 'cept Caddie, an' I guees she looks more like her pa. "xou kin jest bet I do. and l m mighty glad 1 havn't no'tow-head like tbeso hero young 'uns,j' Caddie would answer, one was a remarkably band some girl, and people who admired her delicate, dark faoe, wore always shocked when her coarse voice and language were heard. Of course, this energetio girl ruled the whole family j tbo man who in spite ot hi strength and ferocity, was as tender hearted and simple-minded as a ohild, tbo indolent amiablo wonwn, and the swarm of tow- beaded children. Jnddie had dreams of something different from the vagrant life that satisfied the rest of the family. Some times she Baw hereon a busy wile, aud mothor, moving about tho two or three rooms of a log farm house, with a fow hardy ilowers struggling for existence in the small front garden, with ourrent bushes, strawberry vines, and tlournh- ing vegetables surrounding the house, and with waving fields of green stretch'- ing awav to the dark mount-ins that bound these 'Western valleys. no connded these visions to ber mother once. "I tell yer what, maw," sho said, "when 1 git married 1 ham t agom to hev no scoh a ferlom 'doby shanty ez this hero, it 11 hev to be a log house, and denied well plastered an white washed inside an' out. An' there'll be tbo purtieat rag-carpet on tho front room lloor you ever see, an' a good board floor in tho kitchen, loo. An I'll hev a likely colt to ride, an' somo cows, bo's to hev lots of milk an' but ter, an yer bet yer life 1 11 be boss o the bull golderned ranch." "iew vo always bed hno ideas in yew ro head, Uaddie, drawled her mother ; "an' of yew marries Bishop Hums, like ew ro pa wants yew tow. marbe he 11 giv yew a log house ; bu yew knew well enull that JJan Williams caiuL do no eeoh thing fer ye." "Huh r observed Uaddie ; "of hat bull-headed ole Burns ever comes a-shinuiu' 'round me, he'll get sech a crack in 'is law 'II make him sea stars, or else my natuo lraint Caddie John son." "Wall, I guess he'd better not risk it then,'' said tho woman, with a feeble laugh j "yew're pa'n a-hitchin' up tho bosses, Caddie, an' I reckon vew'd better pack that there bit o' butter in ft box, an raebbe old liurns ull give yaw some shoes ier H et yewe re real nice lew him." "All right," answered Caddio "looK-a-nere, you Mom, I'll kick you into the middle of uext week if you don't stop tryin' to lasso that thero pig. Come along here now, a"' git yer faoo washed. We're goin, to tho 'Co-op.,' an' mebbo yoiul git somo candy, of you behavo yourselves." There was only ono seat inthe wagon and on it sat Dick Johnson and bis wife, who held tho baby in her aims, Caddio sat on tho box iu tho back o the wagon, and the children rolled around her iu tho hay that was always taken along for tho horses to eat while the women wero trading in tho Co operauvn otoro and tho man was drinking at the one saloon. Tho toad ran along tbo bank of river, whoso gleaming breadths, seon at intervals through tbo overhanging wiuows, together wun a long sweep oi green anu urown anil goiu ouneu cra-ia that bowed its taeseled heads tho breeze passed over it, waving like a many-colored sea away to tho dark mountains with their snowy tops, form eu a picture almost sublime in its per iod loveliness. "That thero grass is een a-most ready to out, remarked old JJiok, guess I'll borry tho bishop's hay rick io-morrcr, an go alter a loao o bay, an' j on youngsters kin come along an' help stamp it, el you want so. ' Tho children set up a joyful shout, for this was a treat to tbern, as would bo to any one, to tumble about in tho long grass, to fish for minnow in tho cool, gurgling creek, to wado into it knee deep for water-cress, t pick tart, wild strawberries and to oat nil theso delicacies with tho swee homo-made bread and country butter, And after this delightful day, how pleasant it was to roll in the sweet- smelling hay, with tho breezes cooling their sun-burnt cheeks during tho long ncie nome. Tbo wagon drew up at List In front of tho village store, and the girl mar- ehalod tho children into tbo "Co-op, witu a good deal ot loroibio persua sion. . ''How de do, Sister Johnson," said . : ' . 1 It Bnd. Like notion tho storo keeper, who was also tho Morman bishop "well, Caddio, I sco you'ro as fat and sarsy as you over wan,' Caddie stared nt hint scornfully, not becauso sho was offended at his free language, ho was quite used to that but this uncouth creature had as inuoh atural coauctrv as nnv other fifteen. year old gfrL "llow much bo you navln fer tin-too butter now " sho asked 'Til let you ev this hero, of you 11 gtvo mo six bits ron ier it." "Ob, come now." ho said, "vou don't want to' do mo out o' all my pro fits like that. Socio It's you, I'll lot yo hov two bits a pound for it. an' that's moru'n I'd do for ennybody oleo." "Well," said tho cirl. "I cuoss I'll jest look nt somo shoes, on' if I kin soo pa'r l like, 1 11 take em for tho but ter." Caddio's mother had cono with her numerous offsprings to visit a friend, and Caddio was loft alone to do hor trading. Hor elderly admirer took ad vantage of this fact to plead his cause iin tho handeomo girl. "You've cot a nurtv foot, for a cal o' your size," bo said as sho tried on a pair of calfskin shoes, declining all help iruui iiiuj. "Huh 1" said the lady, too onerosied vwith hor task to notico tho compli ment : "yas, theso hero shoes fits kinder slick, but I don't b'lievo they's hold (Water when tho snow oouies." "Oh, they'll hold water fast enounb." ho answered; "but they ain't half nico enough ier sech a hansom foot as yourn. Now hero s a pair o kid shoes I'm o-savin' for my wife." "Well, ' asked Caddie sharnlv. then why don't you uivo urn to her 1 Lord knows she needs um bad onuff." "Now look a-here, Cad, bo said : thet's tomfoolishness, an' you know t : Mirandy don't want for nothiu'. and sho don't oaro about fineries, bul most girls does, an' I toll you what, my sccond'll havo tho nicest duds o' any woman in town." Caddio lmd put her shoes on neain by this time, and she did not propose to listen to him any longer. It wonld not be wiso to quarrel with tho bishop, but she had no desiro "to play scoond name in no kind o music, and sho told him bo. "Haw, haw. haw," ho laughed, "I guess not. I km jest see the way my ole woman '11 hev to step around when yon air Airs, liurns. seo here, Uaddie ' bo added, as she turned to go, "I want to talk to you, an you might lest as well listen now as onnv other time. You know your pa went prospeotin' Inst year, an' I furnished the gubb fer tho trip. Well he fonnd a purty good claim, an' now an Eastern company's sent an expert oat hero to look at it, an' like as not they'll buy it. Well, ono night your pa got purty full hero in town, and I got him to sign a bill o' I - f . I -VT 1 . 1. , emu ui uiu mine, mow no aon i Know nothiu' 'bout the company, an' he don't know thet tho paper ho signed wuz a bill o' salo to you, if you'd bo sensible and marry me, like yonr pap wants you to. ' "I don t b liece you ve cot no bill o' sale, said tho girl quietly ; "show mo tno paper." ' Her faco was dark with anger. Sho looked very pretty, as sho sat thero in tho dingy little store, on a long pack ing 'box j her glorious brown hair had been blown loose by tho wind, her ran ged sun-bonnet hung by its strings around her neck, her blub eyes wore bright with excitement, and her brown cheecks glowed. Tho bishop looked at her admiringly as ho returned with tho paper. Sho roso to her feet, and her slight, round figure showed, oven through tho clumsy pink calico, its graceful curves. She moved round between him and tho open door of tho stove in vvhiob a wood tiro burned, for too evenings aro cold in these moun tain villages, and then as he read aloud, Bho suddenly snatched the paper and thrown into tho stovo. Uo sprang forward with an oath, but it was too late, and when bo turned to look for tbo girl sjie was gone. Tho next day Diok Johnson rodo un to tho saloon and gravely announced to tho loungers thero that ho meant to shoot old Burns on sight, and that the said Burns had better havo bis gun handy. Then tho injured man began to fortify himself with whisky for the appruuuimig uuei. "VYbats the matter with Burns! asked one of tho crowd ; "I alius, thought that you wuz on tho best kind o' terms with tho b'shop.,' "un, he s lived long enough, tbat s all," answered old Dick j "an' my arms air i-gittin' ruBty fer want o' use." His enemy had been warned, Dick was drunk enouch to bo dancrerous. and so bo thought there was no reason for waiting any longer, and, rhintr, he slipped quietly out of tho saloon, and walked over to tho "Uo-op.' Arriving there, ho stood near tho door, watching the proprietor, until tho latter turned, when tho hands of both men flow to their ready pistols, nnd tho shots rang out. The bishop ten, ana uick, wbo was a dead shot, stood calmly looking at his victim, The murdered man s wifo ran in from hor rooms behind tho storo and flung nerncit aown beside tbo body, with nean-renuing shriek. Then tbo men from tho saloon riiBhed in and stood around looking silently at the bleeding corpso and at t o poor wifo wbo mourned the dead man as sincerely as though ho bad been tho kindest of bus bands to her. ner pitiful sobbing aroneed tho sym pathies of 'the rough crowd, and they began to look angrily at the victor. Ono man pointed siguificaritly to a coil of ropo lying on tho counter, but the rest looked at tho revolver still grasp- uu 111 bug iuiiuii lutiuD uuuu, nuu tuuy shook their heads. Diok Johnson saw nnd understood, nnd ho qmctly backed up against the wall, drew another Bix-shooter and prooeoded to make his defense. Ho told tho story of tbo bill of sale. "You see, bovH, he swindled tno. Now, you i -1 . ... . . .

Ills revolvers helped him to mako uis peace, i neso men wero not cowards, but they knew thoy could not tako him alive armed in that way, and besides, tbey thought his conduct quite , proper, b.o he was promptly acquitted by his informnl wont quietly home.

AN ADDRESS, TO TUB DEMOCRATIC SO CIETY OF PENNSYLVANIA. Tho following address to tho demo cratic societies has been issued by Pres ident Black : Philadelphia, Nov. 12. The dem ocratio party has met temporary defeat in defeneo of a just, equitable nnd nec essary principle of frco government. It contended that unnecesBaryt sxation was unjust taxation ; that tho federal government had no right to tako moro money from the people than might be necessary for its own BUpport economi cally administered; and that it had no right to tako h oney from tho mass of men to confor it, as a mero largcsB, upon a class. This doctrino has been hold by the democratic party from tho adoption of tho constitution to tho pres ent day. It was tho doctrino of Jef ferson, and of every demooralio states man in our history. But since the civil war, tho federalists' sehemo of strong government, taking from tho pcoplo whatever those in power may think UBeful or desirable, building up a few industries at tho expense of others, and conferring upon favored enterprises greai annual bounties far in excess of tbo pnbljo revenues, has been incor porated in tho policy of tho general government, and for moro than .a quar ter of a centuryhas been Bteadily main tained by our legislation and adminis tration. PRINCIPLES MUST; LlVk., Tho conflict between theso two Drin- ciplos of government is most assuredly : : i, l t. . ' .- - " - . rt uiupicnBiuiu. xl must, continue unui tho industrial people of the United States are all free or all slaves. Tho democratic party baa no thought of abandoning the fight. On the con trary, it has just begun it. Consider ing that the president s reform message, regardod by many as a perilous new flepnrturo in invor of industrial free uoin, was given to congress only in December last, and that tho ensuing popular ueoaio nas oeen in progress loss than a year, tho results of tho vot ing on November G furnish the ffionds of tariff reform the moist abundant en couragement. If so much has been won in so short a time ; if all borosy upon this vital question has been crushed within, or finally cast out of, ono of the greatest political partiesin mo unnca states in this brief period, what may not be accomplished by a fearless, resolute, persistent agitation.in the years to come! Rising from this momentary check, strengthened by the consciousness that it carries the ark of public safety, that it has in its keeping a sacred prinoiplo upon the future sue- Maa nf nli.nl. .5 3.. . 1 ' , - I and political freedom of the people of the United States, the democratic party will go on with this contest until it is gloriously won'. Wo have met the special interests,- the monopolies and the trusts,- 'stimulated to their utmost exertion by the now danger which con fronted them ; wo have nipt their mil lions, extorted from the labor of tho country, poured out in any)quontities demanded by their-unscrupulous politi cal managers, and, notwithstanding all their advantages of position, power, and means, and tho meagre timo al lowed for tho momentous struggle, wo httVe fairly divided tbo suffrages of tho people with them ; and it ,will bo weeks to oome beforeit can even bo told upon which sido tho actual popular majority has fallen. ORGANISATION OP SOCIETIES. There are now about 4.000 demo cratic clubs and democratic societies in mo united Estates. Tho convention whioh brought theso together and jormea tne national association, was hold only on tho Fourth of July last ; nna ino aemocratio society, ol Pennsyl vania was formed but a few weeks pre vious. Considering tho great work done, nnd the important results accom plished in tho few intervening months. it must now bo annarent to everv in telligent observer that had this cam paign of "organization and informa tion" this vastreDublioannronarranda. formally founded upon tbo indisDutable nnd immortal principles of Jefferson been undertaken at an curlier date, and prosecutod with intelligent vigor, tho presidential eleotion of 1888 would havo had a far different termination Nothing was required to insure tho suc cess of tho democratic candidates but that tho issue should bo olearlv under stood. This is mado only too manifest by a comparison of the results in the manufacturing contres with those in the agricultural regions. In tho formor the "tsrilf Bcalo" appears to havo had no effect whatever upon tho miuds of in telligont operatives, for whoso alleged benefit a fraudulent and delnsivo "pro tection" is invoked, whilo in the arri. cultural regions, whoso pcoplo aro tho aimost con i eased victims ot tho federal ist system of spoliation, tbo federalist uujuriiies seem to navo been main tamed and oven increased. In other words, where tho debate raged, W1ERK THE CONFLICT WAS FIERCEST, whero the truth was most clearly and most thoroughly struck out between tbe contending parties, thero tho truth has prevailed. It must, therefore, he piam mat nan tuo discussion been car ried homo to tho agricultural no plo of the country to tho samo extent and with the Bnmo intensity, wo should havo made the same strong impression upon that class as upon tho other. Let there bo a demooratio sooiety in every ueiguuuruooa, ana jot, mat society bold ly, constantly, nnd energetically con tinuo tho discussion of the tariff quos tion as it rolates to tho material inter ests of tho people themselves, and tho demooratio party of tho United States win never lose another general election nuriog tno existence ot this generation Had tho Demooratio sociolv of Pcnn sylvania bceu four yoars old, instead of flyo months, w'th its primary socioties in every oiection district, as thoy should uavo uuen, mo election votes ot I'enn sylvania would havo gone to Grovor Cloveland, whoie the best interests of tho largo majority of her people re- Sulred that tbey should go. Had tho rational association of demooratio clubs been even ono year old, instead of four months, New York and In diana, and tho whole agricultural west, wonld havo been for democratic rev enue reform, instead of republican or jury, and ho federalist monopoly, SOCIETIES TO BE CONTINUED, Wo i respectfully urge that ovory dem- ocratio society o society in Pennsylvania shall continuo its organization and its acti vity; that thoy shall hold meetings as often nt it roav bo convenient to the members; that thoy shall invito their I ncirrhbors of overv nolitioal faith and 01 every condition of life to pnrtloipato in 3 a. . . their discussions ot this all important question ; and that they shall even now prepare to perleot their state organiza- tion, considering what amendments may profitably bo mado to tho consti- tution ot tho stato sooioly, ana select- ing their most intelligent and zealous members to servo as deputies in tho next genoral assembly. Wherever snob societies have not been established, wo urgently ndviso tho still undaunted and aggressive demooraoy to sco that they aro immediately instituted WHAT SHOULD 11 K DONE. Tho domocratio societies, naturally upholding tho principlo of homo rule in nil its applications, and, naturally supporting tho interests and guarding the rights ot tbe masses, tor winch they wero originally founded by the greatest ot all American anti-monopolists, will find mush to ongago their most earnest attention in the affairs of our great commonwealth. The result of the late presidential eleotion will in oroaso tbo disinclination of the monop olists of Pennsylvania to yield any thing whatever and unless publio opin ion shall be aroused and directed by intelligent and persistent effort, thero will bo no enforcement ot tbe beneficent provisions of our stato constitution;' no interferenoo with railroad discrimina tions; restraint upon combining corpor ations; and no rcliof for tho wrongs ot labor in the mines, the fields and tbo shops. But lot tho people consider these questions in their demooratio societies in every part of tho common wealth, nnd notwithstanding tho large republican majority in tho legi-latnrc, wo may even, at this late day, enforco a partial execution of somo of tbo republicans pledges of tho stato earn. paign of 188G. CLOSE UT THE BROKEN RANKS, Wo commend, to the demooratio people of Pennsylvania, the declaration of our noble leader, President Cloveland, that, for the propogation of our - pure and immortal principles, tbe, democratic societies "are the most efficient agencies ever devised." Nor do wo think wo can moro appropriately close this brief appeal tot he democracy to oIbo up their broken ranks and move forward i again on tbo striaght bright lino of auty, to ultimate and complete victory uiuu wuu ue iouowing irom mo democratic national committee "All demooratio committees and com mitteemen are earnestly requested to push the organization of permanent democratic sooieties or clubs within their respective jurisdictions. Tbe mportanoe of such an adjunct to the regular organization cannot bo over estimated, and the regular organization oannot bo to active and zealous in pro moting it. It should bo remembered that tbe "democratic sooieties were the first efficient organization of tho party under Jefferson; that the election of Jefferson in 1800, anuT.ho ascendancy , r i .. r r ui me uuiuucrauo pary xor.

Details of the awful accident in shaft No. 2, of tho Pittsburg and Cheookee or oanta i e mining Uompany, near this placo last night, are just coming in. Tho company bad moro orders than tbey could fill and in thoir at tempt to keep up havo been running au unusually large force ot miners. Yesterday morning 104 men wero low ered Into the mine, At noon tbo shots wero fired all right, and later tho miners descended for afternoon duty. At 5.30 they were ready to bro their shots again The first shot had been Gred, but be- before a man ooald be hoisted a ter rible rumbling noise was beard above, and a black cloud ot dirt, slate and dust shot into the air from tho mouth of the shaft, tearing away the tracks upon which tho cages are hoisted and titling tbe shatt with debris. The ex plosion occured on the east sido and is attributed to the inexperience of some ot tbo now men, Beforo tho men out- sido could recover their senses ono of tho miners appeared at the nir shaft nearly eullocated. Ho was helped out and followed by others until a largo number bnd escaped, bow many is not known. DOWN TO THE RESCUE. Thero was plenty of help at hand and thoso at tbo top devoted their at tention to rescuing their entombed companions. The fan Iioubo, only slightly damaged, was first icpaired, caiivas being tacked over tho holes that had to bo closed. About 12 o'clock tbe fan houeo was ready and fresh air was pumped into tho mine, driving baok tbe poisonous gas nnd averting suffocation. Attention was then turned to repairing the cribbing bo mat mo cages conid be lowered, Mon lowered into tho shaft by rope anu DucKet couiu accomplish nothing, At 2 a. u. tbo cago was ready to de scend and tho first rescuing party were lowered into tbo shatt. Owing to the : .i u r i uau uu luoy uuuiu uut remain long. On the fust return of tbo cage it con tained a number of uninjured, but bad ly demoralized men. The bottom of the shaft was badly damaged, and it was difiioult to got at tho dead. As found tbey wero piled together nt the i . . ... i.: i . i. .. . i. it i t.i uuviuiu, wiiiiu uio uiu uviug ana unu- ly wounded were hoisted to tbo top, NINETY nODIES FOUND. At 4 in tho morning fivo bad been rescued, and at 1 v. sr. four more were brought out alivo. At this timo they struok an entry contalulug twelve moro dead, and at 2 this afternoon ninety dead and nine wounded have been found, with twenty-five missing, who aro supposed to be dead. A large number of tbe killed are French and Italian miners. .About twenty years ago tho British Government discovered that a bright, Intelligent Irish lad who had joined tho Eighth Husiars was ondoavoring to mako certain members of that regi ment disloyal to the Queen. Indeed, he had succeeded bo far as to induce eovoral of tbe IIujar to throw off their allegiance to the crown and woar fealty to tno caueo oi ,iroianu, wivu mo explicit understanding that they would fight for Irish independence ft soon ns tho time was npo to gtnko the blow. 'The youth who had undertaken tho dangorous mission of making revo lutlonliiu of the Queen's soldiers had bcon a student of history and gionea in tbo career of George Washington nnd the other American patriots who shook off the British yoke, and ho felt that the only h6pe of bringing pros perity baok to Ireland lay in making that unhappy country free. preciato his efforts, 'l ho Knglisb authorities did not ap- nowover, uccauso ihav ton not In ihn Inter. ...V. 11 . v. uww -V . 1. --J auwv- csta 0f the mother country," and ho wa8 tried for treason and sentenoed to death. His extreme youth, his talents, anJ his noble qualities all pleaded against his execution, and so, after a iong time( the death sentenoe was commuted to banHhmont for twenty V0ftr. n iu0 WAS Dt Australia. In those days such a sentenoo was regard- ed as worso than death, and when tho young soldier went awav thero woro hoavv heart nmont his friends and admirers In Enrland and Ireland, for thoy thought thoy- would novor seo him again. Even at that timo his writings hod won recognition and mado him popular, and when he wont away it seemed to tho readers ot his poems as if thoy had lost a dear per sonal friend. Tho British aristocrats, Lionel Sockville West among tho num ber, viewed the matter in a difforent light, and felt that another of Eng land's enemies had been disposed of forever. But tho young exile, alter a weird experience among tho Australian wilds, where freedom whispered hopo oven to the banished, mado bis escape at the risk of his life in an open boat, was picked up by an American whaler, and brought safely to tho shores of America. Here bis talents won spee dy recognition among the brightest, and tho young man who was senteno ed to death by England for his lovo of country 'was hailed in cultured Boston as poet, patriot, and author, A fow days ago tbe British Minister at Washington, Lord Sackville' under took1 to advise a naturalized citizen as to how he should vote in an American eloction to promote the welfare of the ".Mother oountry, and tbo young man who had been condemned to death by that same "mother country" over twenty years ago called on the Presi dent of the United States and urged tho dismissal of England's diplomatio representative for his interferenoo in American affairs. The President list ened and became convinced, and Great uritain s lordly Minister-was bounced. Uur readers would doubtless like to know tbe namo of the young man who was condemned to death by Eng land "twenty golden years ago,"' and wbo now wears liord oackyillo s scalp in his belt. Well,-, his name is John Boyle O'Reilly, and he lives in Boston town, within a stone's throw of ' tho Bunker Hill monument Scranton Truth. Sews Items- In riding through the country one is surprised at the manner in whiob farm cs leave their valuable machinery in tho field without any protection from tbe rain and the buu. A shed of ronghjboards oosts but little, and will pay a i8rge interest on the little in vestment, if used to shelter theso machines. Because the farmer d-ies not see tbo slow dcoay, he is apt to forget that it is going on, until re minded of it by some costly machine which goes to pieces just at the timo when most needed. This treatment of machinery is excellent for the manufacturers, but it is one of tho prominent reasons why "sarming don't pay." As tho gunning has now opened in oarnest, sportsmen will do well to thorougMy post themselves in regard to the law ot trespass in order to avoia trouble with tho farming community upon whoso lands they may enter in quest of game. There are several acts covering different violations of the law of trespass, Malicious tres pass a fine $100, and imprisonment not exceeding six months. Willfully carrying off or destroying nny proper tya fine not exceeding 850, and an imprisonment not exceeding sixty days., A destruction ot property, tramping down grass, grain, eta, a fine from S5 to $100, one-half to the informer, the other to the owner. Tho post office department is soon to have 8 new style of postal cards. It is much like the double card of tho present pattern. The back folds aro split diagonaly and open like a pointed star. The lour corners aro joined in tho centre, when tho card is ready for mailing, with a piero of gummed paper. The card weighs less than half an ounce, and will con tain no more writing than tho present oard, the only advantage being great er privacy. "You'd bo surprised," says a Now York safe manufacturer, "at tho num ber of sham pasteboard safes in New York, ond they're made so well that any ordinary person would bo deceiv ed. They havo a business liko ap pearance and give an office a thrifty look, all for five or six dollars, whereas tho real article would cost oometblng liko $100. Tatooing Uonviots for Identification. "Tbo latest fad in prison manage ment," said a prison official, "is tattoo ing. It is a ready means of identifica tion and is bound to become popular in prison management. My idea is to tattoo a oonvict every time ho is im prisoned and then we 11 have his re cord as clear as tho moon at midnight. Let each penal institution adopt a dif ferent mark or monogram and tbo problem of identifying convicts will bo solved. It is the simplest and best system yet proposod. To somo per sons it may seem as harsh as branding, but it isn't. Tattooing isu't paiuful ana the marks can bo put on tbo con vict's back, arms or legs, aud would not embanas reformed convicts. Tat- ooing is now followed in several penal I : i i i t i institutions abroad and I now und erstand that it is to be introduced in tbo state prison at Joliet, 111." Buf falo JSxprest.
