Accidents from Fire-arms.
Hardly a day passes but that some ac
cident occurs and often a fatal one by the
careless nse of iire-arms, a usually need
less and generally destructive appendage,
carried by a large class of our citizens,
especially by the junior branch. That
these deadly engines are carried by the
wholesale was shown not long since by
the announcement in a railroad car that
a crazy man was aboard and at large. A
panic immediately ensued, lollowed by
the presentation of arms, and the vast
number exhibited revealed the fact that a
majority were supplied with shooting
irons. When not carried on the person
ready for a combat but lain away in the
bed-room awaiting a nocternal campaign,
they frequently operate fatally as is
shown by the following, seen in print not
long ago: "A four-year-old fluding a
revolver in a drawer in a bed-room took
it up and killed a two-year-old sister."
Same day a lad of eleven summers found
a pistol lying about the house, gave it an
investigation in detail to learn the mys
tery surrounding it and finally pointed it
at a cousin. It "went or* of course and
killed him. Such cases and others in
which adults figure, are of so frequent oc
currence that we are led to speak of the
barbarous situation as It exists in our
land of boasted civilization, calling the
attention of the public to the alarming
state of the nuisance, for it is nothing
short of it. If the law against carrying
concealed weapons were at all enforced it
might in a measure break up the perni
cious practice as none but the roughs and
hoodlums would take pride in having the
butt of a pepper box ornament, a belt or
an outside pocket. We think the State
ought to go a step farther in the matter,
take charge of fire-arms, give a license to
use them when a special case demands it,
but in ordinary times, a fine should be
the penalty for carrying the deadly in
struments. And parents should take a
hand in this reform, exercise watchful
ness over the boys who now a-days de
light in the posession of a seven shooter
and usually purchase one as early as their
stock of cash will permit.
As a rule we can see no good derived
from fire-arms, compared with the mis
chief, expense and loss of limb and life,
occasioned by them. Where one burglar
or assassin is shot in an attempt to rob
or kill, a dozen innocent persons are
maimed for life or sent "where the wood
bine twineth." Men of "salt and pepper"
temper usually go armed; on a slight
provocation they wield them, shooting
perhaps their best friend and plead tem
porary insanity for the cold blooded deed.
Another person is afflicted with hypo
chondria, at reverses of fortune, or sor
row at death of friends, or shame and re
morse for crime, he feels blue, discour
aged and reckless and {thinks the grave
most congeuial to his disordered state of
mind. It is not easy to get poison; a
stomach pump would defeat that plan,
hanging above terra firma on a tight rope
is repulsive, he has au aversion to a cold
plunge into deep water, but the revolver
or shot gun is handy and trusty, he at
once resorts to it, in this melaucholly
state of mind a life is taken which iu the
absence of the "infernal machine" might
have been saved.
The public needs a new set of tactics
in regard to the common use, custom aud
usage of lire-arms. The current state of
affairs savors of lawlessness and barbar
ism rather than a sign of our boasted
law, order and civilization. Let us have
more moral courage and unflinching man
hood, learn to be cool, meet reverses in a
manly way and not put so much stress
upou powder and ball, but ratner assist
in putting those relics of war and anar
chy at discount in our quiet every-day
life and aid iu breaking up the prevailing
mania to own, carry and shoot them as
the general custom is.

FEW FACTS
in regard \o the
White
Sewing
Machine.
It is an acknowledged fact that the
White Sewing Machine now stands pre
eminent among flrst-class machines, for
its simplicity and light-running qualities.
It is a mechanical fact that the White
Sewing Machine is made from the best
material and of excellent workmanship,
and all its wearing parts are adjustable,
so that lost motion can be "taken up" in
an instant.
It is an undisputed fact that the dura
bility of the White Sewing Machine is
sustained by a written warranty for Ave
years.
It is a progressive fact that the White
embodies the most practical and useful
improvements of other sewing machines,
together with advantages peculiarly its
own.
It is a money-making fact that the
Wniteis the easiest-selling selling ma
chine in the market, and therefore all
wide-awake dealers make it their specialty.
It is a gratifying fact that the White
gives universal satisfaction, and that it i*
steadily and rapidly increasing In public
favor.
CAUTION.
Do not "be imposed upon by agents and partie
who are interested in the purchase and sale of othe
machines. It has become a common trick for un
scrupulous competitors to get a White machine and
put ft in bad order so that they might prejudice pur
chasers against it and in favor of their own machines.
To guard against such contemptible trickery, we
advise all intending purchasers to correspond with
us direct, and we will take pleasure in giving them
the address of a regular authorized dealer for the
"White" in their county, or we will offer to sell
them a machine direct at special prices, and guaran
tee satisfaction in every respect.
