FRAUDS ON THE PUBLIC.

Passel and'Counterfeit Tickets. [From tho Detroit Free I’ross.] The traveling public should un-. derstand tha,t the railroads, in order to protect themselves from frauds, instruct their conductors to take up passes and collect fare from persons who cannot be identified as the legiiimate possessors of such courtesies. The extension of the sys tern of limited tickets also makes it a matter of decided risk to purchase tickets anywhere but at a regular railroad ticket office. The economically inclined passenger, with a ticket bought at reduced rates at an irresponsible “scalping” office, may find himself, at the very beginning ot his journey, caught up by the conductor with a ticket Arbose-dale-has-expired, and which is therefore not valid for passage. There would not be much economy in that for the passenger. Besides, the business of counterfeiting railroad tickets has been quite extensively gone into of late, and counterfeit tickets are frequently offered for sale. A gang of ticket counterfeiters were not long ago detected at Indianapolis and a part of them arrested. The work of counterfeiting still continues, and the railroads, to protect themselves, have adopted new forms and taken other precautions to shield themselves against loss. So far as the public is concerned the moral is very plain: “Never buy tickets of outsiders or at ’unauthorized ticket offices.”

Messrs. 11. O. Houghton & Company, of Boston, publishers of the Atlantic Monthly, have just issued a fine, life-sizeportrait of John Greenleaf W hittier, tlio beloved and honored (Quaker poet, whose name is a household word in tens oTUiousanda of LomesT"and whSF 2 ever the English language is spoken. The fact that'Mr. Whittier has just completed his 70th year makes the publication ot his portrait at this time peculiarly appropriate, and we are sure that there are many of our readers who will be glad to avail themselves of this opportunity to procure it. The price of the porers of the Atlantic Monthly is but One Dollar, and the picture, which is of unusual excellence and finish, is the work of Mr. J. E. Baker, one of the best crayon artists in the country. The Atlantic itself presents a most attractive programme for the coming year,—serial stories by W. D. Howells, Henry J antes, Jr., and W. 11. Bishop; short stories by T. B. Aldrich, Rose Terry Cooke, Constance F. Woolson, J. W. De Forest, and others ; frequent sketches and essays by by Mark Twain and Charles Dudley Warner, the two best /American humorists; description of foreign life and travel by the sculptor Story, T. B. Aldrich and C. E. Norton; poetry by Whittier, Longfellow, and Holmes; and, last but not least, -T* thorough and iiuparu«l4reanueiU of questions of public interest, such as Finance, Government Reform, etc. — all fur $4.00 a year. The publishers will moreover send the November and December numbers for the year past free to all new subscribers who ask for them. Beautiful life-size portraits of Longfellow and Bryant, similar to that of Whittier, can also obtained by subscribers or purchasers, if desired, for One Dollar, each, additional. The Galaxy, which has for the past eleven years been ]>rominent ahi] popular to a rare degree limdng - h a s been consolidated with the Atlantic, thus widening the field and strengthening the hold of the latter upon public favor and esteem. The merchants of Rensselaer are that, place contain frpm ten to twelve columns of local advertisements each.—Goodland Register. ..Yes, sir, tlio Rensselaer merchants appreciate the value of advertising. They are wide awake, energetic business men, and know that it pays to advertise.

Items From Remington Times.

J. O. B. McDougle has cut down his clerking force to one clerk, retaining J. V. W. Kirk. Messrs. J. 11. Tribby and Mahlon Johnson are going intobusinesson their own hook, with W. W. Fostor as a third partner. These gentlemen contemplate going into the wholesale and retail notion business in Remington, nnd will occupy a room not far from the postoffice. M. O. Cissel, of the Union, passed through Remington last Monday, on his way to investigate matters in Mexico. His mission is to MCapture as important a personage as he can, he being thegsole judge’foii that point, which person will be held as hostage. If this plan can be carried out,?and he*jthinks pt] can, it will prove an easy solution of the Mexican question, and will put a stop to back and forth, which is so annoying and expensive. The Rochester Independent, KltVs new paper, goes for Jasper county greenbackers generally and for those of Remington in particularly, in its last issue; from which one would infer that if friend Kitt is anything, he is now a hard money nian. Old Father Time brings about a good many strange and wonderful changes sometimes, but this is not one of them. Converting friend Kitt from the greenest of greenbackers to a rainpant “whal-you-efiir-em,” is one of those harmless little.pranks the old gentleman loves to play off on weak mortals. Mr. George MajorJ’hat sold his farms in this township, comprising 552 acres of excellent land, all improved and close to Remington, to Mr. Fred Tloover, of Good land. Mr. Major contemplates moving to Texas. He paid that state a visit last spring and came back higlvly pleased. We run no risk of contradiction in saying that bis departure from our midst with ;nis estimable family, will be more regretted than that of any other citizen of this township, and we are’still in hopes something may happen to make him change his

There is yet a plentiful lack of civilization in and around Remington, judging from the manner in which some people celebrate the holidays. We take it that when a man has no higher conception of enjoyment and patriotism, and knows of no other way of celebrating Christmas or New Years day than by getting ao beastly drunk that he can’t find the door to the billiard hall, then he is not far removed from the level of the untutored Hog, and needs civilizing. Spectacles of this kind have often occurred in and about the stairways and hall leading to this place of amusement, and are not calculated to enhance one’s opinion of Jasper county civilization, generally. Yesterday an attachment suit was commenced by Mahon Bros., of Ohio, against J. P. Reynolds for goods sold him while in business here, in the Granger store. Frank Chilcote, who happened to be in town, wa«, with the resident attorneys, retained in the case, and Esquire Jeffries had to stand an amount of bulldosing that would have made Eliza Pinkston’s persecutors green with envy. The last scene witnessed, displayed Frank’s towering form standing before his honor, wildly gesticulating and -thundering forth the pent up legal lore, accumulated by years of practice at the bar, while his honor sat meekly before him with a far-away look of hopeless despair and perplexity. in his eyes which was heartrending. Gathering items by moonlight while returning from an eight hours’ conversation with your sweetheart, is an experiment no localist need wish for as he will witness objects in a worse condition than a crosseyed person or one who has just taken his first lesson in the “art” of sinok ing.—Mon ticello Democrat. How about that Logansport girl, Hoover*? Go slow now or there will be an item about the pencil pushers. The Remington Times arid Goodland Register are two of the spiciest exchanges that reach this office.
