LLIGONIER, IND.. THURSDAY, MARCE 122, 1874,

0 LANE RETYY, . I T am the foreman in a large hosier: establishment in New York. I am forty years old, and I never was partieularly handsome to look at. I do not suppose my manners are especially fascinating either, for the girls call me as’ I am given to understand, “Old Crusty and Bear.” Not that I mean to be: eross, but some people haven’t the agreeable ways of others. I have sat behind the tall desk in Tope & Buttonbell’s, nineteen years. I’ve seen a'good many curious phases, of life within that time; but the most, curious of all happened to myself person.:tllyma‘n(ithat is precisely what I 1 am going to tell you about. . - “I would n”b“ have had it happened for five dollars,” said Denison. Denison has charge of the out-door department; and he eame ‘in on that wet, drizzly, February evening, to stand by the cheerful fire in my room. We had not lighted the gas yet; the press and hurry of the work were over for the day, and it was very pleasant in the red shine of the fire. I was sitting on my tall stool, Biting the feather end of a quill pen and thinking—thinking of I scarce know what. ¢“What has happened now ?” said 1. | “It’s Lame Hetty,” replied Denison. “T'wo rolls of work misging and Hetty declares she brought’em here.” | I laid down the goose quill. Lame Hetty had been .in my thoughts, somehow, and all that rainy twilight, just as people and things will take possession of your brains at times, and you can’t help yourself. A soft-eyed,low-, voiced girl, who walked with a cruteh, and 'always wore delicate grays and dove-colors. I knew her from the throng because of the “tap tap” of her! crutch, and I saw her standing in the long line of girls waiting on Saturday night to deliver their work and receive their pay. ‘ | “Ten dollars worth:of shirts,” said, Denison—“order shirts too, and that makes it worse. lam sorry for the girl; she has a pretty face of her own and I always liked her; but of course itis necessary tostand by rules. Loses ! ber deposit and no work.” /- ‘ “But suppose she pays for the missing work ?”’ o “Tt isn’t likely she’ll do that,” said Denigon. | “This -sort of girl seldom has ten dollars saved up.” : 7 “T don’t believe it’s her fault, Den- l ison,” insisted T. - :

“She’s responsible, is n’t 'she ?” *¥Yes; but—l el Just then Mr. Buttonbell came. in with a great order in his hand from a New Orleans house. I looked at it. “We shall have a tight pull of it, sir, to execute this,” said I. “But it must be executed,” said he. “Put on your hands. Turn on a full head of steam. It won't do to let Peck & Patterson go to any other place.” And he bustled away. “Very unfortunate,” said Denison. “Lame Hetty was one of our best hands.” : G Hetty Dorrance came the next morning, as usual to receive work; and she had a ten dollar note in her hands. ' : “Some kind friend has sent me this fo pay for the lost rolls of work, sir,” said she to me. : ; | “You’re in luck, Hetbty,” said .l frowning over a long list of figures, and trying not to blush under the earnest gaze of her soft brown eyes. “And I’'m much—oh, so much obliged to him, whoever he is,” she added in 4 low tone, “But I can’t use it unless—unless you think that I am innocent.” . ; :

“Oh, of course I do,” said I looking up at the quiver inher voice. “I don’t believe you would take:a pin, Hetty, I’ve known you for four years and I believe you are a good girl. ~lt’s an awkward mistake somewhere, but there’s not many mistakes, my girl, but what Heaven clears up in its own time.

S o : - “Put it is breaking my heart,” said she. “They all think me a thief.” - “I don’t Hetty.”. e - “T know that, sir. I should drown myself, if at least one person in the world did not believe I wasinnocent.” -The winter wore itself away. The busy season was suceeeded by one of comparative dullness; and among the hands struck off the list was Hetty Dorrance. 2L hOaeE J : “Oneé;a thief, always a thief,” said old Jones, the cutter.’ “I had just as soon that girl should not work for us.” “Well,” retorted the j_o&gl man, cautiously, “it is necessary to' curtail the list a little, and it may as well be Hetty as.any one.” , - . oo - But Hetty Dorrance never came to learn her doom. Day after day went by and the familiar rap of her crutch sounded no more on the floor.. I grew uneasy. ; ltise ; “Perhaps sheis ill—alone—in want,” I thought. ‘ o And the more I pondered on the matter the more uneasy I grew. @ “Perhaps she is dgui.’? Loty ' : - And with the last, overwhelming thought came the full revelation of my own heart. - =

"1 had grown to love Hettf;; Dorrance. Well, why not? 1 could afford a wife as well as most men. . Hetty was only a work girl, and lame algo; but she had a face like one of heaven’s angels, and a heart as white as alilly. Of that I felt certain. I loved her—why should I not marry her? : So I sat down and wrote her a little note saying simply that I loved her, and asked her if she couid consent to become my wife—and concluded by saying that I would call on the morrow to receive her answer. Just as I.had sent my letter off, there came a knock at the door. “Mr. Harvey, are you alone. Can I speak to you for one moment?”’ ' “Is that you, Helena Arden? Why, I thought you was married and gone to California!” I cried. ) “I am married—to a spendthrift and avillain!” said she with a little, hoarse laugh, “and I am going to California to-morrow; but I want to say a word to you first. - I wanted to pay you for something.” . . . .., Gt g “For what?” . , V5OO i - “That roll of work which people accused Hetty Dorrance, the lame girl, + “Helena, ou take ¥ g . “Yes,” she crigd recklessly, “I took

i 3 The Baxter Law. j The recent .action of the Supreme Court has practically annulled the temperance law. of this State. The law has been a stupendous failure from. the stawt, and it is to be hoped that the advocates of temperance will heredfter treat the question in a reasonable and sensible manner. Inthe present condition of the world, the sale and use of intoxicating drink is a necessary evil, and any attempt to legislate stimulating drinks out of existence is as absurd as it would be to cultivate an orange garden inside of the Arctic Cirele. All men recognize the desirability of the total abrogation of all the bad features connected with the use of strong drink, but the sdame is true.of the Social Evil and every other infringement on the generally recognized moral law. No purely legislative act will materially change men’s appetites, and as long as there is a desire for spirituous drinks they will be sold. The liquor question should be treated as any other evil which society is obliged to tolerate.— It should be kept within reasonable ‘bounds by the high law of moral sentiment, and then the written law should be so adjusted as to lend a helping hand to every advance in moral thought. The great mistake of the extreme temperance advocates is that they expect statutary laws to lead’ public sentiment on moral questions; and they .do this in the face of the fact that the history of the whole world goes to show that unless the moral sentiment of the community is in accord, or in advance of such laws, they are complete failures, and soon become a by-werd -and a. reproach. If the radical temperance men of the country will. now recognize the inevitable, and go to work in the right place, miuch may be done toward the redempition of the people of this State from the'evils of intemperance. ' They should agitate the question purely from a moral standpoint, and then ask for only such laws-as will aid them in the development of publie sentiment. ' : License laws bring a large revenue to the common school fund, and to education and cultivate we must look for moral reform.— 4uburn:€ourier i = v B

"¢Chang and Eng.—The Aui‘opsy." PHILADELPHIA, 'Pa., Feb. 25-~The Medical Commission making the autopsy upon the Siamese: Twins report the following as the most important of their discoveries: They found that the two livers, which were supposed to be: joined only by blood-vessels, were really one body, the parenchymatous tissue continuous between them, sb’ that when they were removed from the bodies and placed on'.the table they formed one mass. ' The so-called tract of portal continuity is therefore liver tissue. It will be remembered that Chang was said to be possessed of one more pouch than Eng. When the liver .was removed, however, an upper hepatic pouch was found, also, ‘proceeding from Eng, go that the band contained four pouches of peritoneum, besides liver tissue. These’ disclosures show that any attempt during life to separate the twins, would, in all probability, have proved fatal, e

: ~ COUNTY FAIRS. i L, Criticibms Reiviewett—-'l:’he Horse. | M. EpiTtoß:—l noticed in three sucecessive editions of your }gap_e'r a: few months since, artieles. relating to Fairs, each denouncing almost in tote. the present system of management, and calling for a change of officers, programme, &e. They talk about giving the oftices to farmers, but fail to state which class,— there being about three pretty well defined classes, the first and most useful class is a wide-awake, enterprising. intelligent class, who are in keeping with the age, its progress and so on.: The second or middle class, is carried

by the tide; while the third class is a class of old fogies, always falling back, and, if possible, clogging the wheels of progress; grumblers, jealous and mis~ erly; never ready or willing to do anything themselves, nor willil“xg- that others should. Andfrom the language of the articles referred to it must be the _l:ittexf class your eorrespofi‘dents are éympa_'thizing -and advising |with. - Look at the language: “Let hoxses owned in the. district supporting the fair, trot or run singly against time only, and no preminms \_\_"_lmtever be permitted.” Yes, yes, theraitis! | Old fogyism and superstition c_emehted together.: L in How is it? Must the firlest, best bred, and most valuable portion of the stock, that portion that is most admirable, and most of all, that stimulates the masses to come out, secures by far the greatest portion of the patronage, and pays the premiumson:all the rest, be deprived of a-pitance? | Isitnot perfectly ridienlous? -Again, what would these poor things trot or run on ? Tt can not be a| tmc](k, for your correspondents or their ilk ‘would not build one, and, tlie hotse owners could not afford to. Who are the gettersup of these fairs ? Are they those ,jé:alous drbnm who never have anything to exhibit—nothing at least that shows a-mark of ifilprovel_nent, is valueless, and only expresses the status of its owner"s. Or that enterprising, intelligent class, who are advancing with civilization, bettering - their own conditions, and that of their neighbors, and the com‘muhity at large, by improving the?’ri stock, (if stock raisers,) and 'sc'ifiléé; in agriculture, and are anxious to comp.'ire notes and improvements.

A FEW N‘OTJ&‘; UPON HORSES. . : First, Thoroughbreds:— They are made so by care and science in breeding. -What stimulates that care? - It is their increased value in their quals ifications for speed and endurance, tested by running long distances and carrying specified weights. This class of horses have also always distinguished thelinselves in warfare, both ancient and modern, and especially so in our late rebellion. The South have always paid more attention to the raising pf tliis class of horses than the North, and their cavalry always excelled ours in the chase. With care, also, they make valuable crosses with the next class. The trotteris the most valuable of any; most valuable in two or more ways, one of which is he is a better horse for all purposes, combined than any other; they are the most intelligent, and coupled with their docility, aetivity and endurance, they make the best and safest family horses, the nicest carriage horses arid the best roadsters. - With these and other reasons they are thé most: valuable for the farmer to raise to sell, for they go ‘down upon thero¢k or basis of all valuation, cost far below any other, and it costs no more to raise one of them to three years old that will sell for three or five hundred dollars, than one of a native breed that will sell for but seventy-five dollars.. Neither ave the above by -any means extreme figures on the part of the trotter; quite a good mafny'sell at three years of age, at five thousand dollars and upwards, some few reaching the enormous sum of seventy thowsand. . -7 s oo

Again, the testing of the speed of the above named two classes of horses; (which is also a test of their valuation sevefal]y,?) is reduced to a science, and is governed by by-laws, rules and regs ulations, with penalties attached for the prevention of frauds. An assoeis ation is fermed.and offieered-by some of the' best mien ‘of the Nation. In fact it is @ National Association. Is headed: “The National Association for the Promotion of the Interests of the Anmierican Trotting Turf,? with Sprague; of Rhode Island, for its prés:s ident. Is organized according to law, its Jaws are binding - and. generally strietly enforeed by its members, and all well regulated fairs. For instance; the driver of Occident in hisrace with Goldsmith Maid in California, a yearago, was fined one hundred dnd: fifty dolars for not coming to the score as’ he should at the start. Other instances might be mentioned of expulsions of. owners with their horses, but is net necessary. Suffice it to say, it is the only branch of a fAif that has fixed rules for its government, and the only branch also, that judges ean decide themerits of with certainty and fairness, regardless of faver or prejudite. lAnci yet, it is the main branch that these. ‘would-be reformers, or rather destructionists, are always ‘misrepresenting and ‘harping about. Perhaps it is rules that hurt them; they talk about reform; they very much rtmind me of a certain reformer of nearly half cens tury ago, at a Methodist camp meeting.
