FOR the first time in the hiatoiy of the City of Terre Haute our Common Coun cil has done an act which should receive, and which demands the attention of every thinking man who has any interest in the welfare of the city. A policeman by the name of Boleg, some time ago, in order to prevent a colored man escaping from his custody, cooly and deliberately shot him and wounded him severely, thereby causing liim to be confined to his bed for a considerable length of time. The colored man brought a suit against Boleg for the Injury, in the Vigo Circuit Court, and obtained a judgment against him for the sum of $90, principal and costs. Thequestion of the liability of Boleg WHS submitted to a jury of twelve men, and the finding aforesaid was made by them. From this it may be assumed that Boteg was guilty of a wrong, and a violation of his duty a* a policeman. On the rendering of this judgment fixing the liability of Boleg, certain persons who never let a chance pass to bleed the city, begin to set up a job, the object of which is to so turn things as to get the city to pay the judgment and screen Boleg for the violation of official duty. They goto work In a sly way with a petition to the council, and get persons to sign it and a good many sign it without thinking of the trick or who are the real acting par ties, and the council is presented with a "numerously signed" petition, asking it to do an act which, if the members thereof have any idea of right and wrong, must know to be illegal and without authority of the law. The council play "hide and go seek" over it for a while, pass an order, bleed the city, and the tricksters pocket a good fee, feel happy, and are ready for the next opportunity to play the same game. So transparent has this thing become that a great many good people have strong grounds for believing that our present council cannot, lie ignorant of it, mid to fasten that conviction more .strong ly. on the presentation of the Boleg peti lion asking its members to do what is conceded to be an illegal act. the members gulp it down, and get laughed at for their stupidity by the very man who got up the imposition, and justly blamed by all good people, who cjin plainly see and feel the wrong that has been done. Not a member of the council who voted in favor of the Boleg ttlek, can justify their conduct on legal grounds. And they will not do *6. They will be equally as slow to justi fy it on the principle of right and justice or precedent. No, the tricksters them selves and they only, put it on the right ground—stupidity. The peoole of Terre Haute will not always stand tjita kind of dealing. There is a pent up pUblic sentiment that will make a line beyond which a few men clothed with a little brief au thority, will fear to go. When that lesson is once taught, iu fruits will be visable for many years to come, and to teach it is and should be the object of all good men, whether Republican, Democrat or National.

A PtKM in Cincinnati, last week stmt two white men and four colored men to Aurora in this state to perform some work, and no sooner had they arrived than the Democratic hoodlums at once fell upon them but they had struck the wrong crowd. The colored men pulled their guns and the Democrats got out of the way in a hurry.

Masculine and Feminine Morality. I could never understand the opposite syHtems of weights and measures which have been established for gauging morality among men and Women. The strictest among us allow that a young man should sow his wild oats but who ever admitted the same necessity in the ease of girls? We say that man should have his amusementa—his clubs, cigars, horse races, flirtations and liquorings but supposing our women and girls came to ua reeking of tobacco? Supposing they addicted themselves openly to nips of grog and absinthe when their spirits were low? Supposing they sat down to quiet rubbers of whist or ecarte, gambling awav their household money to while off dull hours? We demand so much excellence of our women that the worst of them are still better than the average man. I have known some women who were social outcasts, and who in point of heart, conduct and general moral rectitude, might have furnished stuff for the making of upright gentlemen, indeed. They had fallen once, it is true, but what a fearful penalty they had been made to pay for that one slip, while by comparison, the fcindred penalties of men are so slight. If a young man gets mixed up in some diseracefulentanglement, breaks a heart, ana throws a young girl upon the streets, after having ruined her life, people say of him, compassionately, by-and-bv, "He was so young when he did it, and now he has turned ever anew leaf but if an inexperienced girl, a mere child of sixteen or seventeen, comes to harm through a moment's weakness, born of too much love and over-confidence in her betrayer, who evor thinks of pleading her youth as an oxeuse? Whoever urges, seriously, that a girl "has turned over a netr leaf?" ftthsubeth BlackuxH M. 1).

"For fainting, lay the body flat" Now, that is a good rule there is some sense in that Because, if you are care* Ail to lay your body flat before you feint it may save you a terrific thump when you fall. Let us add to this rule the advice, never faint on a ladder, or in a balloon, or on the top of a church st«ep!e, or in front of a runaway team. It isn't safe. "Suck poisonous wounds, unless youi mouth is sore enlarge the wound, ot better, cut the tfound oat without delay."

If that isn't a lively piece of advice fbi a sane man to give to healthy people Listen here—don't you do anything of the kind. And if you get a scratch on the throat don't enlarge it or cut it out And if yon get a wound on the back of your neck don't you try to reach it with your mouth. Somebody will try that some day and there'll be a broken neck in the family. "If in the water, float on the back, with the to oath ana nose projecting."

Now, this is the best rule of the lot That is the cap sheaf. You cut that wit and paste it on your cuff, where you can always see it Just follow that rule and you will never drown. No natter if you iv in the water twenty years if you will just float on your Sack, with the nose and mouth projecting above the water, you wont drown. We don't know what wise man wrote these rules, but this hot one is worth all the rest—Bur* limgtam Hamktyt.
