LIGONIER. NOBLE COUNTY, INDIANA, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 6, 1877.

A LEAP IN THE DARK.

Though George Maxwell was comparatively a young man, his hair was white as snow. I often wondered at his strange appearance, and one day, :in a playful humor, I said to him: “Greorge, why is it that you look so prematurely old?” . ; : His face became suddenly clouded, and for the moment he lost his accustomed cheerfalness. ; “There is one episodein my life,” he said gravely, “that I never like to talk about.” oo : ' " “Pardon me,” I exclaimed, “if I have introduced a subject that is displeasing to you, and let us proceed to talk about something else.” A few days later, while we were passing a pleasant hour together, I ordered a bottle of wine, and poured out a couple of glasses. ‘I carelessly pushed one of them toward him, and -called out: ey i - “Your health.” ~ To my astonishment he firmly declined to drink with me. = “But,” said I, “it is only a littlelight wine. It won’t affect your head in the least.” : - “Nevertheless,” he responded, “the slightest indulgence in the cup that intoxicates is contrary to my settled principles.” : “Very well, then,” I rejoined gruftly, “here’s luck to myself,” and I swallowed the contents of both glasses. “Newton,” said my companion, seriously, “I wish I could persuade you to never drink another glass of liquor. Do not regard my refusal to drink with you as an unfriendly action. You know but little of my former life and habits; if you did you wouldnot tempt me.” : “We have all been boys in -our time,” I said with an gxhibition of considerablelevity. “Theindiscretions: of youth are many, and it is but natural tosuppose that you have been one of us.” My laughterseemed to pain iim. Heturned partly about in his chair, fixed his;d dark, piercing eyes upon me and said: : , : “Newton, I am a reformed drunkard.’. . y . It was now my turn to look astonished. ~ *Yes,” he continued, “I ran through a brief and brilliant career of pleasure and ‘profligacy, and but for one night of terror, that changed the whole current of my life, I might, like many of my former companions, be lying in a drunkard’s grave to-day.” =~ - I looked again at his prematurely white hair. . v

“I understand your thoughts,” he continued, “I dislike to talk of the past, but for your own good let me give you a little of my own experience.” :

Resting ‘his elbows upon the table between us and supporting his head upon the open palms of his hands, he told me the following story: “I had the misfortune tolose my parents at an early age. Upon leaving college I found myself the undisputed master of a’large fortune, and like most college graduates I fancied myself only about second to the Pope in infallibility. My parents while living had been indulgent and liberal with me. I had never learned the value of a dollar. I had acquired no practical ideas of business. My only thought was :ease and pleasure. My fortune seemed ample, and I saw no necessity for exertion, and I entered at once upon a reckless and extravagant career. s

“My liberality made me hosts of apparent friends. I had no lack of boon companions while my money lasted. I kept fast horses, and like‘Jehu’l drove furiously. I gambled extensively. I dmank deeply and my inheritance rapidly melted away. : When ore gets fairly started in a downward career, every earthly circumstance seems to help him along, even his professed friends regard him as their lawful prey, and justify themselves while they plunder him, upon the ground that they might as well have what he squanders #s anybody else. The road to ruin for a time is very pleasant and easy to follow, But it ever leads us to a frightful end, where we may pause in grief and horror to contemplate the instability of human friendship, the fleeting character of riches, the follies of extravagance and the selfishness of our fellowmen, 'We often learn when it is too late what glorious opportunities we have wasted for accomplishing good to others and of acquiring profits to ourselves. ‘

“At the early age of 25 years I was pronounced ‘a moral and physical wreck. I was poor in purse, teeblein mind, and weak in body. I had acquired tastes and habits that I had no strength to overcome. My property was sold to pay the debts incurred by my various dissipations. I was sick and weary of life, and I endeavoredto drown my cares and the memory of my misfortunes by constant scenes of drunkenness and debauchery. “Among my college classmates there was one very dear friend whom I had dragged with me through my downward career. The only son of a widowed mother who had at last died of a broken heart, occasioned by the profligacy of her son. IHe had been a youth of bright-promise. I made him a worthless and reckless vagabond,but I never passed te reflect upon my responsibility. = : “No man can follow the road to ruin without becoming a false guide to others. : -

“One black November night I was returning with four destitute companiofis, my classmate among them, from the county seat where we had been holding a wild carousal, to the town where I lived. We had taken the ‘midnight train, and were all 1n astate of partial intoxication. Just before arriving at our station, the train crossed a high bridge that spanned a dark rushing river. Owing to a slight accident to the engine, the car in which we were seated stopped in the center of the bridge. Supposing that we had arrived at our destination, and being ‘too much under the influence of lig~uor to thoroughly understand our situation,we stepped from the train upon the parapet of the bridge, mistaking it for the platform of the station; then -after a moment of confusion and wild1y clutching at each other, we stepped off into the darkness and plunged downward«nto the abyss below. l “We struck the water simultaneous- ' “The sudden shock almost instantly sobered me. By a violent effort Isucceeded .inadim:ggging myself from my companions, The icy water gur%md and surged -about me. I heard their drywaing. otion. /A 1 lnet L lutgnon the jatuluy polat dfano%m ing Fock hat projectd a fow Lt above {m formed & miniature is-

water, and seating myself astride of the cold, slippery stone, I shouted for assistance. : i : “Nobody seemed to hear me. The whistle of the locomotive shrieked wildly, and after a few moments of delay the train rolled on and passed out of hearing. I exerted myself to the utmost to keep from freezing, but my feet and hands soon became numhi and helpless, and I began to feel that I was dying. : - “I cannot express to you the horror of deatg-that I felt at that moment. They who talk lightly of death when out of danger, find life inexpressibly dear when presented face to face with ‘the grim monster.” I felt how little prepared I was to die.. Every mean action I had ever committed was presented to me. Not only the excesses I had committed upon myself, but the evils I had done to others.

“The terrible experiences of that night completely changed my whole character. My hair, that had been as dark as the plumage of a raven, soon became as whité as snow. I renouneed my former dissolute habits and companions, and from that night I have tried to be a respectable and useful man.” ‘ :

“But how did you escape from your frightful situation.” . “I was discovered by the station master at an early hour on the following morning, and though my feet and hands were badly frozen, I soon was about again. My companions were all lost and their bodies were not recovered until several months afterward. Now do you wonder that I refused to drink ‘with you? Do you wonder that I am grieved to see you slowly drifting into the same channel that ecarried me s 0 nearly to destruction? I implore you to put away from you the cup that intoxicates. Come, now, give me your hand, and promise me to drink from that eup no more.” I gave him my hand and my word, and from that moment I have been a temperate man. ; v e R ———— Strife between Two Kansas Towns. - In the South-western part of Kansas are two towns named respectively Empire City and Galena. The two towns are §ituated not very far apart, and like most Western towns, are rivals, each claiming to be a great business center, etc. The rivalry ran so high that a few days ago the cifizens of Empire City determined to fence Galena out in the cold, or, in other words, cut it off from the former town, that being equivalent to excommunication. Accordingly on Wednesday last a large number of armed men from Empire City undertook to build a stockade between the rival towns.— The alarm was sounded in GaAentg} by ringing of bells, and an opposing force of about fifty men, with guns and revolvers, collected to prevent proceedings. The mail coach going to Empire for the mail was stopped and ordered back to Galena. The mayor of Galena read a proclamation declaring. a stockade between the two cities an obstruction to travel and contrary to law, and calculated to incite riot and bloodshed, and called upon the citizens to destroy the same. On general principles we should say he was right. A stockade across a road 18 an obstrue-. tion to travel. . There can be no doubt about this. Itobstructed travelequally from Empire City to Galena, and from Galena to Empire City. The citizens of Galena viewed the matter in this light and made an attack on the stockade. Firearms were called into use, and a sharp fight en-' sued. Finally the stockade was carried, saturated with oil and burned.— Communication is now open between the two places, but the question which is the commercial metropolis of the great West is still unsettled. .

The Great Shoshonees Remedy Is an Indian vegetable compound,composed of the juices of a variety of remarkable medicinal plants and herbs; the various properties of these differerent ingredients, when combined, is 80 constituted as to act simultaneously upon the Blood,Lungs, Liver, Kidneys, Digestive Organs, Nervous System,&c., restoring their functions to healthy action, and being purely vegetable, is as harmless as Nature’s own beverage. This medicine is a decided benefit in all, and a permanent cure in a large majority of diseases of the blood, such as Scrofula, Erysipelas, Salt Rheum, Canker, Pimples, &c. In prescribing this medicine we do not claim that it always performs cures; but this we do say, that it purifies and enriches the blood, permanently curing a large majority of diseases arising from its impurities. It stands far ahead and unequaled among the hundreds of competing medicines of the day. It has stood the test of ten years, and is today more popular than ever. As a summer restorative it stands unrivaled; it enables the system to bear up against the donstant drain to which it is subjected by a high temperature. Persons who are subject to bilious Colic, Dysentery, Indigestion ete., ete., should take the Shoshonees Remedy, Price of the Remedy in pint bottles, $1; Pills, 25 cents a box.

Who and Whom. Indianapolis Journal. = The word whom, objective case of who, 18 one of the most puzzling in the language, and most often wrongly used. Thus the universal form of inquiry, “Who did he marry?” “Who did you see?” “Who can we trust?” ete, is clearly wrong, It should be whom, in every case. .Another misuse of the word is in such expressions as this: “Mr. Jones, whom it is generally believed is the owner of the property, has brought suit,” ete.; “The man whom it was alleged had beatén his wife, filed his answer,” etc. In each case who should be used instead of whom, the word being the subjec of a verb, and gonsequently the nominative case being required. By remembering the rule that the subject of a verb must always be in the nominative case and the object in the objective case, the incorrectuse of whom for who. and vice versa, can generally be avoided. : : Basiness Interests to Be Remem- ’ ) ; : - 'bered.

He Changed His Mind.

Appropos to the power of the press, the late John Forsyth of Alabama, was accustomed to illustrate the advantage of advertising, and’ told the following story with much gusto.— He made a wager with a merchant who denied that advertising was of benefit to the advertiser. In theevent of proof to the contrary, the merchant was to pay for such an advertisement as Forsyth should dictate, anid an oyster supper to boot. Of course, Forsyth should do the same if he lost.— The editor said te the mérchant:

“Write—Wanted to purchase adog.’” The number of the residence and the name of the street was given, and in the wager it was stipulated that the want should be put in nonpareil and in an obscure corner of Forsyth’s paper. Next day the merchant called at the office of the Register looking exftremely anneyed. His house was besieged with men having dogs to sell. The dogs were brought to his door, and his family were so annoyed that a policeman had to be called to driye away the pests. Said the-merchant: “I will net only pay for the dog advertisement, but put in one which I wish to display, because I am convinced that the public reads, and that my business can be best inereased through the agency of type. : Come along and get the oyster supper, Colonel, you have fairly won the bet!” iy

Senator Edmunds’s Views of Things. Boston Speeial, August 25. -

® The Globe publishes to-day an interview with Senator Edmunds, of Vermont, on the President’s order of office-holders. He has nof seen one Vermout Republican who does not think the order a mistake, and while it is founded on correct motives it is not advantageous to public interests. If Mr. Sherman talks about the policy of the government, remonetizing silver, resumption, etc., in Ohio, why should not a petty postmaster in New York talk about his plans for office, his desire to, accommodate the public, and l;is desire to improve mail facilities. oy :

The idea that a man ‘in office is 5 sort of king is simply preposterous. Instead of being king the people make the strength of the office-holder. The order will simply destroy, for the time being, all practical work in the Republican parly. Mr. Edmunds spoke of many abuses in the party which should be corrected, and which could be without striking at the foundation of party machinery. He expects trouble. when Congress assembles, but not from the order of the President, nor even from his so-called Southern policy. The difficulty wilbe about remonetization of silver, rel sumption, and tariff. ' :

CONDENSED BEER, prepared aceording to a new process patented in England; appears likely to become of commercial importance. The liquid may be taken at any stage of fermentation, although preferably -at the time when it is fit for drinking. It is evaporated in a vacum, until a large part of the water and alcohol is distilled away, and the beer is reduced to a thick, viscid fluid, of about the consistency of molasses. The alcohol and water pass off in vapor, which is condensed, and the alcohol subsequently obtained by redistilliation is mixed 'with the condensed beer, either ‘before bottling or at any time afterward.

The Sheriff Nonplussed.

Jim Forbeslived on the line between two counties in a certain State. Jim was one of those impecunious but good-hearted men who slide ¢nfo debt with the greatest ease, but never can see their way clear to sliding out again. He was so good-natured that his creditors seldom found it in their hearts to sue him, and yet it was at times forced upon them. Jim rented the house he lived in, and had about a dozen children of all ages, running wild about it. It was a lonely out-of-the way place, three miles from any justice of the peace in either county. ' . o e

Early one morning one of the neighbors—they all liked him—rushed into the house and told him that the sheriff was after him with a warrant, on aecount of a transaction in furniture. -

_“Whar did he git the writ?” said Jim. '

. “Shelbywville,” replied the neighbor. :“All right, Tom. Now clear out, ’eause you don’t want no-hand in this. Heré, Tom, Dick, Harry, all of you, I want you! Jump, you-young beathen, jump!” ! ’ Half an hour later the sheriff came up, and to his utter surprise found every article which he could have touched with his writ piled upon the right hand side of the road, and Jim seated on a barrel calmly smoking his pipe. . 3 o

“You've drawn a little prize, Jim,” said the sheriff,laughing. -“I am going to attach these goods on the suit of Robert Sale.” iR

“I wouldn’t do it if I was you,” said Jim, taking the writin his hand. “You see this paper ain’t wuth a cent. Itis issued by a justice of the peace in Henry county, and just now we are in Shelby—so you don’t touch this furniture.” i : -

The sheriff swore. We are sorry to record it against a county official, but he actually used profane language.— Without another word he sprang into the saddle, and rode for the couunty seat of Shelby county, in his haste leaving the writ in Jim’s possession. - That worthy sat unmoved until the good sheriff had disappeared in the distance, when he slowly arose. . “I'm a young chap, I am, an’ easy cotched. We'll see!” ?

The sheriff got the papers he wanted from a justice in Shelby county, and came back. As he neared the spot where he had left Jim, that worthy was seated upon his barrel as before, but upon the /¢f¢ hand side of the road, the furniture beside him. ! “Helloa, sheriff,” said Jim, “‘got back, ain’t ye? Got a writ from! Shelby county this time?” . :

“Yes; you may as well give up.” “Can’t do it, sheriff. I'm mighty sorry to trouble you, but I've moved ag’in. I'm in Henry county now ; don’t yomsee?” - - : :

“I’ve got a writ for you there, my boy!” said the sheriff, chuckling, and feeling in his pockes, for the moment forgetting that he had given it to Jim. “I guess not,” said Jim. “You’ve got it, you scoundrel! 1 gave it to you before I went for this last writ.” e : “Did ye! How ye going 'to prove it, eh ?” , ot : “But I did give it to you!” - “Mebbe you did; but you ain’t got any right to touch me in Henry county without law or warrant!” Literally beside himself with rage,the sheriff rode like a madman for the county seat to obtain a new writ. It took him an hour and a half to go and come, and when he returned. Jim, his children and household treasures had disappeared,. and Sheriff Waters did not set eyes upon the errant wanderer until he came back, having sold the furniture and disposed of the proceeds. Sheriff Waters always takes two writs when he goes after Jim Forbes now.

The Bed Bottom Swindle. Lagrange Standard. ‘ : The men who came around to collect the pay for the spring bed bottoms, pretending to be the agents of | the. manufacturers, professed great surprise and indignation that the' contracting agent had allowed such a misunderstanding of his contracts, and because- of this understanding, they were willing to compromise the matter. Theirpart, it seems, was as much 2 game as the former part. The whole thipg is a swindle and is being played in other parts of the country. The American Agriculturist, New York, gives the following deseription of the game in that State, which it will be seen is essentially the same as was played in this, and several other counties in Northern Indiana, except the lawyer’s part. We do not know -of any lawyers knowingly assisting in the fraud: “The spring bed swindle is another cf these agency affairs that farmers should look out for. It appears to be mostiy carried on in New England. A smooth-tongued chap comes along to establish:agencies on behalf of the manufacturer; he finds some one willing to act as agent for the sale of the goods, from whom he gets an oßFigation to pay for the goods when sold, and an order for the goods to be sent. The beds come, the agent pays freight and takes them home. In a few days a party claiming to be the manufacturer comes along to collect the bill. The agent says that the goods were only to be paid for when sold, but this is only laughed at; they never sold goods in this way; no one had authority to make any such terms; there was the agent’s order for the | goods, and .there was the bill (some | $2OO or $300,) and if it was not paid ‘at once it would be put in the hands of a lawyer for collection. The pretended manufacturer understands the bluff game, and too often succeeds in frightening his vietim into paying the ‘bill, or settling the matter by giving ‘him $5O to take away the beds, One | of our readers, who had accepted the gency, and was called - upon and zhrea,tqned, wrote us for advice in this case. Our advice was to stick to the agreement, and lst him sue. We afterward learned that a lawyer from a ‘neighboring town came to collect the bill; finding he could ,not get the ‘amount, he proposed to settle it for $75, then for $5O, and then for $25, and tageﬁéxewggg%m -b%!_?i i)ur,,egx; respondent would pay nothing, and %Waitﬁgynothm&;@xﬁeﬁi?; ake the beds to tl tﬁ&%wh’i@h iﬁﬁ the freight paid when he took them. bullied into paying.

The Mayfield (Ky.) Democrat tells a story of the disappearance of the eleven-year-old daughter of a farmer of Ballard county, whom a negro bore to the woods and tied to a tree, keeping her there for several days, coming at night to bring her food and water and to assault her. When the farmer found her he told her to remain quiet till night and heé would procure. assistance, and when the negro came: back that night they would secure him.— When they had captured him the girl was asked what should be done with him and replied, “Skin him alive,” which they proceeded to do immediately. They commenced at the crown of his head and stripped the skin down to his feet. He only survived about five minutes after the operation.

He does not realize that the farmer has flitted away his large crop of wheat,and that its value is due him in a thousand little driblets, and that he is seriously ‘embarrassed in his business because higs debtors treat it as a small matter, But it all would pay them promptly, ‘which they could do as well jaa-“;;ioté]it? would be-a very large amount to the ‘farmer, and would enable him to carry on his business without difiiculty.
