There i« no justification for "hounding'' a man, but it may be said that the quiet calm of Terre llauto's peaceful precincts has been undisturbed for as many as threo dayn by ex-Chief Burnett.
There is not much to wonder at in Gladstone's wish to retire from public life. The fiftieth anniversary of his service has just passed and finds him as popular as he has been at any time in the course of his iong career.
Without beiiijf heartless we can re-1 mark that the ofiicein of our army are not worried as are those oi the Prussian army over the frequency of death among their number. The American officer when lie sees the announcement of a death marks himself up one peg in the line of promotion, and then beta recklessly at fly loo.
A remark in the French chamber of Deputies yesterday that Franco might need its financial credit in a great pa triotic purpose was applauded. There is a good deal of meaning in that ap plause. France has for sometime, in the utterances of its public men and the press, been giving out threats regarding England's conduct in Egypt."
On general principles it was just as well the house stipulated the new congerssional library should be built on ground owned by the government. The rajmcity of the Washington property holder is liable to be too much for agents of the government in selecting any other site. Moreover, the government has plenty of ground in Washington.
The Democratic parly is continually proving itself to be a blustering sham. It howled for civil service reform and now that its representatives have an opportunity to promote such reform they are found wanting. Senator Sherman's remark to .Senator Pendleton that if any reform was secured it would have to be secured by tho Republican parly, as all previous reforms had been, was very pat.
Mr. Yanderbilt once more is denying statements regarding his purposes. It was charged thai he had gone into an alliance with other magnates by which Philadelphia was to be made the seaport terminus of the railroad system. A correspondent, referring to tho denial, says: "Yanderbilt is an arrant coward, and for a man whose sentiments are that 'The public be d—d,' he is more irritated by what the public say about him than any one of the great speculators, and he and his family can no more keep out of active speculation than thoy can avoid offending tho public, and for them that is possible."
There are almost, daily reports of gano persons being released from hospitals for the insane.

umes for the system under which such progress is possible. The present chief, who is apparently an educated, intelligent man, credits the improvement largely to the Indian policy of Canada, and we quote the following from his letter discussed in Harper's Weekly: •'Under this subject I can not but express (even at the risk of being tedious to you) my views respecting the Indian policy of the United States. Where the Indian agencies are made political perquisites for political favors shown the successful party, and the certainly of the office Is only four years, it is human nature to suppose that such officers will try and make as much money as possible during the reign of their party, irrespective of the wards over whom they are placed. Hence the frauds perpetrated hence tho wars Inaugurated by these persons, whose whole object Is to 'feather their own nest' assoo'nas possible, and at least within four years.''
The remarks might have a more general application than to the Indian policy alone, hut the last will serve for the present. In this connection it will be timely to express admiration for the discovery of the tagging system which is likely to revolutionize Indian affairs if the tags hold out. As our readers know an original agent has lately put tags on hiB dusky charges and finds them an antidote for drunk enness, wnndering from the veserva tion and horse Stealing. We are not fully isted as to the method of application, whether the tags are driven into the subject like the tin-tag on Lorillard's tobacco, or if they are soldered on with a red hot brazing iron, or if they are made of tin ingots, weighing soveral hundred weight, and attachod with a chain. Probably they are hung around the neck with a buck skin thong, and the agent has a duplicate like a baggage check. The gaudy braves now wear them as medals, but when they find they are a kind of a dog check they will drop them as "bad medicine." The intelligent Irish driver thought his horse would not run away when the hitching straj. attached to a heavy weight was in the wagon. It was as heavy in the wagon as on the ground. We rather imagine the Indians will run when they feel like it, tag or no tag, and we see them hanging their medals on the trees when off on a rampage or the celebrat ed poker-player cornering the tags and drawing the rations. But we should encourage these little novelties, as evidences that agents are devoting several minutes a day to Indian affairs. It is not likely that congress will have that much time to spare for quite a while On" the whole wa considei the tin-tag a great invention and a patentable device.

THE ADVANCE IN BEER.
Various Finns to Preserve tlie Balance of Trade Across tho Counter—A Pittsburg Manufacturer of Glasses Already on Hand to Take Orders for Smaller
Glasses.
St. Louis Globe-Democrat. The contemplated rise in the cost of beer, when sold by the banel, was considerably talked about yesterday on the 6treets. When the prospective action of the wholesale dealers was first known retail beer sellers and the vast army of beer drinkers were strong in the belief that after the 1st of January there would be no more 5-cent beer. As an abolition of 5-cent beer means, in a city like St. Louis, where there are no pennies, nothing but. 10cent beer, an anxious and exercised Globe-'democrat man sallied forth to catch the first wave' of sentiment on the subject. Ho found a variety of opinions floating about, but nobody seemed discouraged as to the outcome, now that the brewers have indicated tho extent of the rise. One gentleman —a professional man, who, though not beer drinker, is yet a shrewd ob

CONCERNING INDIANS.
It does not appear as yet in proposed civil service reforms that among tiie candidates for oflice. who shall present themselves to be examined in tho three "R's" to determine their fitness for place, shall be included Indian agents. We believe that in the past the only qualifications ever sug
as being desirable in this class
were those proposed in Grant's time, and others by the army officers. The first were that the principles ot the Quakers grafted upon the peculiar kind of politician, who wants to go West among the Shoshones, Piutes, etc., would produce the proper article and the second were conceived in the belief that the exact discipline, adherence to red-tape and strict accountability to superiors would unite in making the regular army officers the best managers of Indian affaire. Comes now a wise Indian chief, who writes a letter which might have been dictated by Geo. Win. Curtis, only it was not. This man is chieftain of the Messissaugas, the most educated, civilized and industrious tribe in Canada, but which was once described as the most filthy, stupid, knavish and wicked of all the Canadian Indians.

Down at .1 ieausaloon on Fifth street, where 5-cent glasses of beer come over tho counter like forest leaves before an autumn gale, the Globe-Dem-ocrat investigator was told that there were a variety of ways of preser\ ing the "balance of trade," so to speak, without raising the price. can have smaller glasses, or we can adopt a svstem of drawing from the lancet which will'result in just a little more froth. It is easily done so as not to alarm the customer. At Coney Island, Rockaway, and other places—Atlantic City, for instance, or any ot the Atlantic summer resorts—they are famous for filling a 10-cent glass with a tamespoonful of beer and five inches of froth. Those professional drawers are mostly out of employment now, and we may have to give them a chance here." "Or," said another engineer ot a beer faucet, to whom the subject was broached, "we can change the style of glasses. There's a manufacturer here now from Pittsburg, in anticipation of this change, and he oilers to make a class for the St. Louis trade that looks bigger and all that than those in use now, but will have a bottom on the style of the claret bottle. IIo offers also for verv tony trade to cast shell glasses in a'candle mould, and make them about two feet This will make a gill of beer look like a quart, inches 'of froth on top of it

ANOTHER VICTIM
Of tho Conspirators In Milwaukee—The Third Young Lady Mysteriously Carried Off, and Still no Trace of the Mlssiifg
Ones.'
Special Dispatch to the Cin. Enquirer. MILW.UKEE, Wis., Dec. 12.—Another case of the mysterious disappearance of a young girl was made public today. In this case the family of the missing child are in humble circum* stances, and until now the affair has attracted little or no attention outside the small circle in which the family move. The girl is Hattie Kniekelbin sixteen years old. Her mother says: "Four weeks ago a hack man called and introduced a red-whiskered man as a detectivc. The hackman said his name was Jones, and that he and the detectivc were hunting for his lost sister, named Mabel Jones. They said my daughter knew where she was and asked to see her. I went about my work, and sent Hattie into the room Presently, thinking it queer they stayed so long, I stepped to the door, when the hackman spoke up: 'Yes, your daughter knows where she is, and we are going to give her $10 to find her.' With this they left. "That evening Hattie started to the grocery with an old shawl over her head, and since then I have not seen her. 1 think the hackman and tho other fellow took her off—for what purpose I cannot tell. The hackman is a bad man, and his name is not Jones, so I have learned, and the man he introduced as a detective was not detective at all. The hackman, I learn has deserted his wife and three child ren."
Two or three letters have been re ceived by the mother," purporting to tell where the child is. In this case the general impression is that the gir was abducted for base purposes.
Just seven weeks ago to-day little Maggie Ilentcke was last seen by her parents and friends. The interest in in the case is nearly as great as in the week of the disappearance, people of all classes still evincing feverish anxiety as to her fate. The messenger sent to Nebraska to examine into the work of the man Drown, who claims to be on the track of the missing child, is R. I.'. Whitehead, superintendent of the Humane society, who is accredited with much detective ability, and who has given much attention to the case His going is the result of a conference held bv Mayor Stovall, Sheriff Ruger, and C'liief of Police Wason.
Just four weeks to-day Mary Neison disappeared myteriously arid unac countably from her home on Market street. From the time she was last seen by her friends not the slightest traces of tho missing lady has been ob tained. Theories of abduction and suicide continue to be advanced regarding her disappearance, but the case is no nearer a solution than during the first days of her absence, The theory of suicide by drowning has been given up by manv who advanced that at first, as it is claimed that her body would have been found before this'had it been in "the river.
A DUKE'S HARDSHIPS.
The Peculiar Washington Snobbishness Thai Preventodllis Attending Church. Special Dispatch to Cin. Gazette.
WASIUXCTOX, Dec. 11.—According to the papers of to-drcy, the Duke of Newcastle had a hard time in his efforts to attend church yesterday. He first visited the president's church at the hour for morning service, and his success is thus related by the Post:
The Duke of Newcastle has been the object of many blundering discourtesies since his arrival in this city, where the. attendants on "Washington aristocracy" are in tho habit of judging social condition by dress, and expect rank to be accompanied by a lordly bearing. The Duke, in modest dress, and unheralded, went to St. John's church yesterday morning, and unaware of its "exclusiveuess," walked quietly in. He was met in the vestibule by the sexton, who told him he must wait outside until all tho pew-holders had arrived and were seated, and the church tilling with these, he was finally refused admittance altogether, and lie returned to his quarters very much astonished at his reception, and asked if thatjwas the custom of the churches of this country. The hotel clerk made some apology for the affair, and directed him to the Church of the Ephiphany, where he went, after some hesitation, not caring to subject himself to another rebuff.
An explanation furnished by one of the vestry to the Star appears to confirm this version.
A member of the vestry of St. John's church told a Star reporter this morning that he believed that the published account of the Duke of Newcastle's reception at the church yesterday morning was exaggerated. "We have," he continued no pews in the church that are not. rented, and it had been the custom for years to wait until the pew holders had an opportunity to take their seats before seating strangers. When the services begin, if there are any seats vacant, a cordial welcome is extended to any strangers to occupy them. When there "are vacant seats there is no distinction made, and a poorly dressed person is treated precisely as a well dressed persoji possibly would be. Nor would we make a distinction in the case of a duke. I don't believe this dnke, if he came to the church at all,* was refused admittance, unless there was an unusually large congregation, and no seats were left vacant. If this duke made the complaint that he is described as making, lie himself is a good deal of a snob."
AN IMMENSE SUIT.
Papers to be Filed Involv'uicMilllons of Philadelphia Property. Pittsburg Dispatch.
The papers are in course of preparation in this city for the commencement of ejectment proceedings against the present holders of an estate in Philadelphia of immense value. The1 storv in connection with the case is of considerable interest.
It appears that about twelve years Jacob Baker, an eccentric old bachelor of the City of Brotherly Love, died, leaving, among other property, fifteen acres located in tho heart of the city, upon which is erected several of the' handsomest buildings in the country.

Having' no immediate descendents, the old gentleman bequeathed his property to Ids relatives consisting of one brother and two sisters and their children." One at" the sisters is Mrs. Marv Piles, of Turtle Creek, Pennsylvania, and the broker is Solomon

was not known to the writer's informant,' bnt that there are claimants to the estate in different parts of the country is a fact that has caused the occupants of the property considerable annoyance.
The property, it appears, was leased during the lifetime of Jacob Baker to the present holders for a long term of years. This fact was known to the neit-s, btit for some reason not clearl)understood they had not, until recently, made a flemand for the rent. Finding their title disputed, the}' have concluded to test their claims through the courts. Mrs. Pyles, the only claimant residing in this county, has placed her case in the hands of a prominent law firm in this city, and, as stated, the papers are now being prepared.
The term of the lease is uot positively known. A well known attorney, in speaking of the case yesterday, stated that if tlie holders of the property have held peaceable possession,for twentyone yeahs they haVe aright to claiiri title to their holding. In cases where there are no heirs the commonwealth has a valid claim, and by entering Suit can recover possession *of property thus neglected by the rightful owners.
The value of tlie estate in question is variously estimated at from $200,000,000 to §300,000,000. The figures may appear somewhat extravagant, bnt thej- are given upon the authority of a prominent member of the bar. The exact location of the property could not be ascertained, but it is said- to be in the business quarter of Philadelphia.
The. Storm in England. Last Saturday was a stormy day across the water. A dispatch say: Englr.nd has been undergoing one of her historical snow-storms. .It has been snowing heavily in every part of the United Kingdom, and travel has everywhere been obstructed. The sailing of ocean steamers has been retarded, all railways have been impeded, great damage has been done to property, and the mails and telegraphs have been thrown Into confusion. In Wales a train was lost and was sought for by bodies of men on horseback. Finally tho lop of it was discovered protruding through a snowdrift sixteen feet deep. The imprisoned passengers had suffered from hunger and cold in the unheated cars for eighteen hours. It took a day and a half to dig out the train. The passengers suffered fearfully from the exposure, but it is thought the will all recover. It is still snowing in parts of England, and accounts of deaths from cold and exposure are being received from all quarters. The suffering which railway travelers have endured in every part of the country must seein incredible to Americans, who do not known how primitive and defective the railway system here is in rcspect of the comfort and convenience of passengers. The lack of appliances for the clearing of the roads involves an extraordinary expense, of which some idea may be conveyed by the fact to reach one train it was necessary that to shovel away snow from six to eighteen feet deep for a distance of over five miles. The Scotch expresses are fifteen hours late. Many parts of the country are inaccessible by reason of the drifts, and persons have been found on the highways frozen to death. In London the snow, mixed with the fog and turned into a black slush, but the rest of England is under deep snow. The weather on the continent lias been unprecedently 'bad everywhere but in the' ex peine south of France and in Italy and Spain. The Seine is higher than ever before. Boats can not pass under the Paris bridge. The cellars of the public buildings are inundated, and a good deal of apprehension is felt at the steady rise of the water in the sewers of Paris, through which it has found its way into numbers of basements and lower stories.

NKW YOKK, Dec. 12.—-The) story that Manager Abbey intends to withdraw from the Langtry engagenjeint in consequence of the scandal about her is emphatically denied. It is, in fact, broadly hinted that the receipts will be rather increased than, otherwise, and what will be lost through the absence of ladies will be compensated for bv the presence of men.

THE KIDNAPPERS.
Young Girls Stolen Prom Tlieir Homes —A Child's Sorrowflnl Story. Special to the Cincinnati News*
NEW YORK, Dec. 12. Inspector Byrnes, assisted by two 'detectives, were this morning prosecuting their search for the missing girl, Annie Bauer. They believe that a system of decoying children from their homes is carried on by a ring of ruffians, and the detectives are determined tio hunt them down. The missing Jjirll's parents occupv a good social stranding, and are unwilling to divulge- their identitv until the detectives have made 'further progress. The girl is about fourteen years of age, ot prepossessing appearance, arid her parents speak of her as being scrupulousobedient. The detectives have learnejl her movements -previous to her disappearance!
A little girl, utterly forlorn, presented herself at the Essex Market poliee court this evening, to warm herself. She had evidently been exposed to the weather all night. She gave her name as Lizzie Cnmmings, eleven vears old, and said that about six months ago she was taken from her home in Jersey City, by two men. Thev placcd her to work "Down Town, where she has been up to a short time ago. She then went into a rambling statement, contradicting herself over and over again. The girl was taken before Justice Patterson, who direded an otlicer of the society for the prevention of cruelty to children to investigate the matter.
Sho Eased Her Corsage.
Cor. Cincinnati Enquirer. A ball supper is agony to many women, because tight lacing makes it in
advisable to eat heartily, but there was one matron on this occasion who overcome all such difficulty. She ate bulkilyand still remained comfortable. I do not know whether she holds a patent on the device, but I am going to describe it anyhow, and whoever copies it must take her own chance of A suit of infringement. It was what may be called a dttplex, front-action, adjustable basque. It had the ftiater* ial cut away from the front of the lining in vest-shape and trimmed up each side and around the neck with a reverse collar of tlie trimming. The lining was provided with eyeletholes and a lacing string, so that it might be drawn as loosely or as close as the wearer chose. To conceal this lining a shirred vest of silk or satin was set on just inside the reverse collar, and each shirring was merely a tape facing on the wrong side in which was inserted an elastic ribboii that Permitted it to ex pand or contract. There were five of these crossway shirrings, the upperone being at the top of the front darts, and above this the vest was arranged in four easy plaits, that were sewed on the neck double at the top to form a standing frill. A hook and loop on each shirred place fastened the vest below, and there were similar ones above. I saw the wearer let out a few lines of lacing of her corsets in the dressing-room before supper and adjusted the basque to the enlarcment, but she ate more than she intended to, evidently, for afterward she retired to case her "corsage once more.
A Girl Deceived and Frightened Into Madness. Special to the Cincinnati Gazette.
MADISON, Ind., Dec. 12.—The girl of whom mention was made yesterday as having stopped at the Western Hotel on Thursday last under the name of Nellie Black, and who was described in Detectivc Bligh's dispatch, passed down the river this morning on the Ben. Franklyn, a raving maniac. The girl's home is in Tavlorsville, Spencer county, Kv., where she is respectably connected. It appears that she was visiting her sister, Mrs. GarHsh, in Louisville, at the time of her escapade. From the officers of the boat we learn that there is no doubt but that the man in company with her was Ike Hamburgai, of this city, and that on the arrival of the boat at Cincinnati on Saturday morning he took her direct to an assignation house on Longworth street, where they staid until she was found by her friends. On her arrival at the'boat she suddenly realized her fallen condition, and remorse seized her. She attempted to commit suicide by jumping overboard between Cincinnati and this place, and the officers, to save lier life, were compelled to lock her up in a stateroom. On Thursday last, while the girl was stopping at the Western, she telegraphed to a Mrs. Goose, in Louisville: "I was married this morning. Will write you to-morrow."
