A week or two ago we had a small
articled ounded on facts," intended for
the benefit of merchants. Most of our
merchants, so far as we have had op
portunity of knowing, took what we
6aida!l right, not considering them
selves "hit"; but there is one firm, to
whom we had no reference, of whom
we knew nothing wrong, and never
suspected before we wrote that arti
cle that they were "too anxious to get
rid of damaged goods." That firm seems
to have appropriated our remarks en
tirely. The "shoe must have fit" them
closely. You remember the story of
how Lorenzo Dow detected the thief?
There had been atheftcomniittea and
it was supposed the thief was in the
audience that the great preacher was
about to address. The man whom it
was believed could raise the devil under
certain contingencies was made aware
of the facts and appealed to to detect
the thief. He said he would find him
if present. So he procured a stone
about the size of his fist and laid it on
the stand ready for use. After a pow
erful portrayal of the effects of sin, he
suddenly stopped, picked up his dornick,
said that brother Jones had had a fine"
hog stolen, that the thief, he had as
certained, was in the audience, and
that it was his duty as a minister to
hit him on the head with the stone that
he held up, and Mil him. Then sud
denly making a terrible gesture as if
hrrlmg the rock into the crowd, a man
T725 sees to dodge, and Dow at once
pointed thai fellow out as the culprit,
which proved to be the fact. This
story is frequently repeated in the ex
perience of editors. They throw a stone,
somebody dodges, thus "giving them
selves away."

A young lady near Table Rock,
being disappointed in getting the school
near her home, to teach, has engaged
hi herding cattle. This fact caused
remarks in a local newspaper, which
elicited a note from the young lady.
And we would venture a wager that
she is a lady, a good girl, and would
make a good wife for any young man.
"We copy this much of her letter to the
Humboldt Sentinel:
I would like to explain why I am
herding. Last spring after my school
had closed, I was examined bv the
County Superintendent and marked (A).
Mv parents desired me to teach in our
own district that I might be at home,
and I accordingly applied for the school.
The directors gave me every encourage
ment, and I was given to understand
that if not underbid I should be em
ployed. There were but two applica
tions for the position, myself and an
other lady, until a person in the form
of a man, applied and secured the
school. Being out of employment, and
my parents in limited circumstances, I
concluded to herd cattle, this being the
best situation offered me. I have a
herd of ninety head of cattle and am
receiving $18 per month. My father
takes my placewith the herd Sundays
and rainy days." 31y sister assists me
with theherd, so that I have company
the greater part of the time.
Yery respectfully,
Young Lady Herder.

Dr. Beeves, Eeeper of a Scott City Doggery
Proved a Palaflsr.
The following correspondence ex
plains itself. The creature Reeves, who
is keeper of a dirty den across the riv
er, has for some time been whispering
amongst the people of this city, and es
pecially with certain temperence men
whom he thought his lie might affect,
the story that Mr. Carson, "Worthy
Chief of our Temple of Honor, was a
regular drinker; and that heReeves
saw packages of liquors put up at
Garlichs', St. Joe, and marked for Mr.
Carson; and so on the story in differ
ent shapes became prevalent Our fellow-citizen,
whom we all know as Mr.
!Mat. Alderman, hearing Reeves tell his
lie, concluded to find out positively
about the matter, hence these letters.
"Dr." Reeves must now feel to be the
wretch that other see him to be; and
we take great pleasure in publishing
him in this matter, and leave him to
the deserved execrations of the public:

Gentlemen Dr. Reeves say3 he
was in your store lately, and that he
saw whisky packed in your store to be
shipped to John L. Carson of this city,
as glassware, and that you said you'
shipped him (Carson) whisky every
month. "Will you please let me know
if this statement of Dr. Reeves is cor
rect. Yours,
J. M. Alderman.
St. Joe, Mo., June 4, 1880.
John L. Carson, Esq., and J. M. Alderman .
Dear Sirs "We do not know why
Dr. Reeves should make such state
ments, as we have never had any or
der trom Air. Larson for whisky or any
thing else; and if Dr. Reeves ever made
such a statement as claimed for and
coming from us, we denounce it as a
falsehood. "We can not think that Dr.
Reeves made such a statement without
foundation; but if he did, it is a false
hood of the worst kind.
Respectfully yours,
