One of the strongest motives to
actuate a good man iu the line of duly
is the welfare of his family and of
those dear to him, but it may well be
questioned whether, in criminals, this
natural affection is not more or less
destroyed. However this may be, it
has long been noted that public opin
ion tends toward preserving, as much
as possible, the natural relations be
tween component members of civil
society. On this basis, it is evident
that there should be a radical change
in our laws with reference to the sup
port of the families of men convicted
of crime and sentenced to imprison
ment in jails or penitentiaries. In
order that a man be punished for his
crime, why is it necessary that wife
and children be whollv robbed of his
power to serve them, especially when
this can be done not only without in
jury to the community, bat with last
ing benefit to all concerned? Of
course no mere money consideration
can recompense the state for the in
jury done it by the commission of a
crime, and the state might, in justice,
as against the criminal alone, demand
every cent of bis earnings, but it is
not supposed that the state is in the
punishment business as a money
making scheme, but simply to rid
civilized society of a nuisance, an in
tolerable enemy, but every consider
ation of humanity, it seems to us,
points to at least a partial support of
tho family of the criminal by his
earnings, over and above the cost of
his ktiep.
It is true there arc some seemingly
plausible objections to this, among
which may bo named these: some
men, criminally inclined, may be held
in check by the thought of how it
may affect their family aud relatives ;
some women, contemplating marriage
may think twice before they accept
the proffer of a man who may proba
bly, possibly, become a criminal ;
doubtless, many conscientious mar
ried couples have contemplated di
vorce as desirable, but have been
deterred lroni it by a thought of its
effect upon innocent offspring, and
may it not be that the rocking scale
of judgment iu the mind of the would
be criminal haa often been turned
toward virtue's side by this weight?
Who can tell ?
Giving these objections all their
force, they seem to us to fall short of
the high motive which should actuate
a civil community, viz, the real and
lasting good of all concerned. Briefly
stated, the foundation facts are: the
man who commits a crime should be
withdrawu from the society of law
abiding men aud women, because he
has, by his acts, showu himself inca
pable of observing that first of all
precepts, "Give every one his own,"
for the very "existence of society de
pends upon the condition that the
rights of all shall be respected;" that
enforced withdrawal of an unworthy
member of society should be such as
to work the least possibly injury to
worthy members.

The storm that occurred the other
night at Sparta, Wis., was very severe
and frightful. The roof was blown
from the Chicago, Milwaukee & St.
Paul depot aud from several build
ings. The 6teeple was blown from the
Baptist church aud the belfrey from
the Catholic church. Gla?H windows
were blown in, and chimneys innu
merable decapitated. The storm with
more or less violence extended all tho
way to Milwaukee. At Detroit the
storm did great damage, by unrooting
buildings aud seriously injuring tim
ber and orchards. At Oshkosh many
houses were unroofed and barns and
fences demolished. St. Paul's church
aud exposition building were de
stroyed. At Madison the spire was
blown from "the Presbyterian church
and several residences unroofed. The
storm passed north of Monticello,
Minn , aud was accompanied by an
ominous-looking cloud, and was
watched by everyone iu town. The
cloud was funnel-shaped, and a it
danced across the prairie, now tear
ing up dirt from the ground and
agaiu rising some distance in the air,
it created a peculiar scene. A house
between Big Lake aud Becker, was
struck and nothing was left to tell
where it stood, pieces of timber and
furniture being scattered along the
prairie. Some distance further on an
old stable was picked up by the cloud
and carried away. A little child play
ing in a yard was picked up and car
ried some distance, bnt landed near
a fence unharmed, save a few
scratches.
The Omaha JtejmbUcan is seem
ingly thankful to us tor calling its

Norfolk. The JtejmbUcan affirms,
"our original informants arc men who
do not lie, aud wo reported them with
exactness." It is now of no special
consequence except that it seemed to
many an outrageous and uutruthtul
attack upon the Senator. If it was
inteuded as a gratuitous advertise
ment of Van Wyck, to draw a large
crowd to Norfolk.it was a success,
for we are told there were about
eight thousand people there.
Twelve companies of infantry

Two years ago a couple of young
boys, by the names of Aleck and
George Quiggle, aged respectively
thirteen and eighteen years, walked
into this office and informed the pro
prietor that they wanted to buy a
farm. Of course, being so young a
great mauy questions were asked the
boys as to their object iu buying a
farm so young, and how they were
going to meet the' payments. To the
first question they said they wanted
to put their money where it would
do them some good, instead of scat
tering it to the four winds like some
boys. To the second question, said
they intended to work out and
meet the payments. They have been
as good as their word, have worked,
saved their wages and met every pay
ment promptly. The land eighty
acres, is situated about four miles
southeast of this place. They paid
$5.50 per acre and it has doubled in
value. It can easily be seen what a
sensible investment the boys have
made. They are bright, intelligent,
and transact business with all the wit
aud energy of a New York banker.
Tbey have started out on the right
road, young, and if they "fight it out
on that line" iu the years to come, a
prosperous future awaits them.

Japan is made up of a chain of vol
canic mountains, aud the arable laud
of the empire is officially put at 11,
215,000 acres less tbau one-half the
area of the state of New York and
this is so fertile aud thoroughly cul
tivated that it feeds a population of
37,000,000 about that of France. Rice
is one of the principal crops, and ot
this ronu- 200,000,000 hushels are rais
ed annually. Hand labor is generally
used, and two or three crops n ear
are raised on the frame land. Artifi
cial irrigation is general, being neces
hary over one-half of the cultivated
laud, aud frequently the water is
takeu from streams from twenty to
thirty miles distant. The total num
ber of horned cattlu is 1,115,000, and
of horses 1,605,000. Wood of all
kiuds is. cheap and abundant, nearly
all the building? being of timber, aud
wood constituting the principal luel ;
the area of forest land id nearly three
times a great as that under culti
vation. Ex.
Human depravity has a fierce illus
tration iu nearly every daily paper
that is picked up. Here is a sample
from Minneapolis, Minn. :
"The officer found that Harry Gates
a boy 12 years old, had been hung by
the wrists from the second story win
dow of the house by his step-mother,
becanse. as 6hc claims, he is incorri
gible. When the lad waa cut dow.n
he had been banging there about' an
hour, and was nearly unconscious.
The rope had cut into his wrists and
the heat of the sun on the side of the
house had nearly cooked him Al
though an aggravated case, it is prob
able nothing will be done to punish
the woman, as she and her husband
have promised to take better care of
the boy in the future."
W. H. Mead left at this office some
sample heads taken from his timothy
field on his farm iu Saunders county,
some of them measuring eight inches
in length. . He has a forty-acre field
ot it, with some clover mixed, which
he says will yield three tons of bay
per acre. This tells its own story.
It proves what must be plaiu to every
one that tame grasses will grow here
equal to any other place in the world,
and that our farmers are beginning
to realize it is evident by the fact that
Fremont merchants have this season
sold twice as large quantities of seeds
as ever before. Fremont Tribune.
Some scoundrel tried Monday night
week to set fire to the Windsor Hotel
at Scribner. He had placed a bottle
of oil at a corner of the building, sur
rounded it by combustibles, and ap
plied a match. The wind blew con
trary to the wretch's calculations,
which was all that saved the building.
Twenty-seven persons were sleeping
in the hotel at the time, says the Fre
mont Tribune. It ought to be, on
positive proof, a capital offence to
commit such a crime, or that of bur
glary, because in either case murder
is one of the probable consequences.
Ov tho mornin? of the 4th the
National flag hung at half mast on the
city hall at Salt Lake, county court
house, Desert ITeics office, Mormon
Tabernacle, church tithing office,
John Taylor's residence, the Mormon
church offices, and the Salt Lake
theatre. This insult offered to the
old flag nearly caused a collision be

A mad hcrculcs by the name of S.
Melvin of Kentucky, became sudden
ly ferocious the other day at North
Vernon, Ind., and held at bay all the
farm wagons that were coming into
town. He upset one wagon, injured
the horses and cut and carved up the
driver with a knife. Finally three
men closed in on 'him and a desperate
struggle ensued. A blow from one
of the men brought him to the ground
and they tied him with a rope and
carried him away in a spring wagon .
Fully 500 people watched the exciting
scene.
A late timber culture ruling of the
new land commissioner says that tim
ber culture tracts must be totally void
of timber, reversing the decision of
the late administration to the effect
that timber sufficient for firewood for
all the occupants was no bar to the
entry. The decision grew out of a
case in the Black Hills, where a case
has been re-opened which was decid
ed four weeks ago. There is great'
excitement oyer the result, and will
be here if Secretary Lamar affirms
the decision of the commissioner.

Patronize the merchants who ad
vertise liberally, as they are generally
the ones who have an interest in
building up the town, and are gen
erally the most liberal in their deal
ings. A man who is too economical
to let people know he desires their
patronage is generally too much on
the "make" to sell goods as cheaply
as those who are reaching out after
new customers, aud who prefer to
turn the "nimble shilling." Ex.
Edward Finch, aged 75, his sister,
aged 80, and a negro boy were mur
dered the other night near Moncure,
N. C. They were knocked in the
bead with an ax and their throats cut.
Several hundred dollars is reported
to have been stolen from the house of
Finch. One of the murderers was
caught with his bands still red with
the blood of the victims.

Intemperance
BY CHAS. D. WILSON.
Think of the miseries, in it.
Think of the joys, if you let it alone;
A wife's fond kiss, and undying love,
A bright fireside, and happy home.
When once jou drink it,
There's no joy left for you;
For you shall be unhonored,
Degraded and unnoticed too.
But when once you drink the tempter,
There is not one ray of I'sht;
For it will be one daf k day,
And your young life a blight.
For you will ever be,
Where the tempter stand.-;
To lu;e you on and on,
Till he has bound you with his iron
bands.
For when once iu ha's bound you.
You can never more be free":
You will alwais be unhouori-d,
Snrlt -h:ill Hit- life of a drunkard be.
Itut you nrwr see the destroyer.
Till he hold? ou l'a-t within his hold;
And then i u wish you had let it alone,
And roiiL-'on iu the paths of old.
Itut thatca m-ver be,
For you will ever wish for more;
Anil you still will drink it.
Till you land upon the other shore.
Say "I will never know the destroyer,"
And that vow try to maintain;
It will give you light aud joy,
Aud &ave you from endless pain.
1 have seen a man, standing.
Within the ale-house door;
Auit a little girl came there,
And begged of him to take no more.
How many hearts wcie breaking.
How mauj mouths went unfed;
How many prayers they offered.
How many tears they shed.
He was a murderer,
Buthe knew it not;
Better than his wife
Does he love the foamy pot.
Intemperance is an evil habit,
It takes your sense and brain ;
And when it takes you.
You can never go agaiu.
It steals your money and your brain;
And all that you have got;
It makes you a thief and a murderer.
But you know it not.
For you murder them,
Your children and your wife;
You give them nothing,
Not even the necessities of life.
Your children sutler much,
And your wife still more;
She would rather die than see
You enter the ale house door.
For it is the gateway to-death,
Which you walk through;
You wouid never enter if you saw the end.
You would not enter if you only knew.
But alas! too many do not see it,
Too many do not stop to think;
You take another glass,
And it adds one more link.
To the chain which is to bind you.
With his vice-like clasp,
For it is death, and you
Can never break from his iron grasp.
And yet you do not see the end,
And you take still more;
You thitik there is no harm in it,
But beholds you faster than before.
For he will lure you on and on.
Saying "Come and take this wine;"
It will make your heart beat highly.
Ard your eye will brightly shine.
Where are your wife and children.
At home crying for bread;
You have money enough.
But still they'go unfed.
For you love the destroyer.
Better than your children or wife;
Your money buys death for you,
But for them it would buy life.
You enter the portals of death,
And say. "Give me a jj lass" of wine;
I am rich. J can pay for it,
For all the joys are mine."
Alas! you know not,
What these joys will lead to ;
They will lead to sin aud death,
And that is where these paths will
lead you.
But before you take it,
Always stop to muse;
See what evils there is in it,
See if it has any use.
Then I am sure that you,
Will see it in its true light;
You Will have saved yourself from ruin,
And at once have ended the fight.
When intemperance seizes you,
It will hold you forever.
You can never break awav.
lour no mi 3 you can never sever.
But if you resist to tempter,
Forever, and with all your might,
You will soon overcome him,
And put him to llight.
Although he is mighty,
Mightier yet are you;
Although he is strong,
You can be strong too.
If be can not overcome you,
Ue soon will fly away;
Leaving you with all your power,
And mastir of the day.
For you will conquer him,
Because you are with the Right;
Fight the tempter manfully,
And Right, will put Wrong to night.
Shun, oh! shun the enchanted bowl,
Although It now appears like joy;
Fall not into its meshes,
For it lures bnt to destroy.
