Nearly two hundred years ago a London?. chimney fweep found a piece of jewelry and carried it to the Jewelers to learn its value. Under pretense of weighing it the jeweler extracted the stones and then offered the sweep a trifling sum in payment. .This he refused, and thereupon the other handed back the setting without the stones. The sweep sued him,, and the judge instructed the jury to find a verdict for the plaintitF, and to assess the damages at the value of stones of the first water, as the defendant wpuld not produce those he had taken out, in court. The rule is still the same, and when Mrs. 'Ellen Quinn, when sorting rags in a paper mill in Indiana, found two SoO bills in an envelope, and handed them to her employer to see if the' were gen uine, and ho kept them, the law said he must give them back or render their value. Ho argued that she was in his employ as a sorter of rags, and that he had bought the paper by weight and that the bills were included, but the court said as ho did not know they were there it was of no avail. Likewise, when Mrs. Blanchard found three 820 bills in the parlor of the hotel in which she worked at "Lewiston, Pa., the court said they were hers if no owner claimed them. Mrs. Blanchard was very honest about the matter and when she found 'them took them to the proprietor, who said he thought they were the property of one of his guests, but he tried in vain to find the owner. Mrs. B. then de manded the money back, bat he declined to give it, until the su preme court ordered him to do so, telling him that the finder of lost' property has a claim, to the same agamsti&l!lth "World save the true owner. The conductor of a Philadelphia horse car some j'ears ago found $100 among the hay on the floor of his car. He gave it to the su perintendent, who was not able to find the owner, and it 'was held; it was decided by the court that the money must be returned to t!i- finder. But the right of the' finder u pends on the honesty and fairness of his conduct. The circum stances attending the finding must manifest good faith on his part. There must be no reason to sus pect that the owner was known to him or might have been ascer tained by proper diligence. Il enough is known to tho finder to enable him 'to prosecute withsuc cess a search for the owner, and instead of using this knowledge he appropriates to .his own use what ho has found, he niay sub ject himself to an action for lar- cenjx. But it seems that if he can not fihd"the owner at first and then uses tho money, he cannot be held liable if he acted in good'faith. The property, however, must be lost, and it is not so in the moan ing of the law when the owner in tentionally lays it on the table, counter or other place and then forgets to take it away. In such cases the proprietor of the prem ises is entitled to the custody, and, in case the ownercannotbe found, to the article. . But if the article be dropped on the floor or else where by tho . owner then it be longs to the finder if the owner cannot be identified. Some years ago a man went into a Boston bank for the purpose of making a de posit, and laid his pocket book, containing valuable papers on one of the desks which are usually pro vided for. customers, outside of the bank counters. He left it there when he weit out, and it was found by a boy, who, upon the offer of a large sum for its return, took it to the owner and claimed the .reward. Tho owner refused to pay, and the court sustained him, deciding that as the pocket book had been placed on the desk voluntarily it was not lost, but had been left in tho custody of the bank, and therefore the boy was not entitled to .the reward. So, too, when a customer of a barber shop found a pocket book belong ing to another custpmer: ,op the table of the shop, it was held that the barber, and not the finder, was entitled to its custody. Newspapers and Newspapers. The clergy long since recognized the power of the press and admit- I ted its substitution of much work I rynn Knlnnrrinrr fn tna rtiln un.1 platform. It is to be feared, says 'the Alia, that this substitution may prove harmful in time unless the patrons of tho press enforce upon it the same rules of conduct by which public opinion hedged in platform and pulpit. That which tho press has sub stituted was pre-eminently a teach ing force amongst men. It was not merely tho delivery of ethics. It was an educational effort brought to bear upon public opin ion for its enlightenment and right direction. If tho pross have taken tho place of the pulpit in any re spect it must be in this, for it is certainlv not as a disseminator of nows. Now if the press is the promoter of ethics, and a propa gator of opinion, it is right to con sider what else it does, for as a teacher it is to bo judged by the consistency and propriety of its editorial tone alone. In its edito rial columns it may teach and ex hort, plead and instruct, appeal to sentiment and play upon passion. Of all this the New York Tribune ut.der Greeley, was a fine example, as was the World in the hands of Manton Marble. They formed public opinion in regiments and marched it forth to battle, under captains of tens and captains of hundreds, just as Peter the Her mit sent the crusaders to fight fur recovery of tho holy sepulcher. But it is questionable whether many newspapers on this continent are to-day fulfilling such a func tion. They are the organs of news, which often generates into the peddling of gossip. 1 he pul pit preacned taught. The and the nlatform newspaper- tattles. What force would have been left in a sermon if it were followed by a mess of neighborhood gossip, about engagements to marry and suits for divorce, and the far sad der trips and stumbles of the sons and daughters of men? By far the greatest space in the average newspaper devoted to news is filled with that which the public has no just right to knowa and it is displayed without charity, mercy, good taste or justice. If a girl lured by the roses and raj -tures, imperil her good name, is ii great in a newspaper to parade her picture and salaciously describe her lapse? It is, in the narrowest view, unjust, for in no such case is like parade made of the m in wlu may be responsible, far more than she, for the evil example which 's given to the maw of an impropir public curiosity. Tho rule 10 "tjently scan youi brother 'man, still gentler sister woman," enfoi ced upon the press as it is upon the pulpit, would do much to confine tho press more closely to its woik of enlightening and guiding pub lic opinion. The condition of af fairs now and soon to be iu this country calls with startling effect for such work iu the press. The promotion of wholesome discussion upon great questions should draw trafned brains in journalism, and should retire trained tattlers. We should foel more interest in what our neighbor thinks of great issues which involve his welfare and ours, than we do in the properly seciet relations between him and his household. No agqncy yet de vised can be made as useful as the press in teaching men to think, and surely it is a gro'-s misuse of a majestic opportunity, if this agency be turned simply into a device to make them thoughtless by pandering to their passions and prejudices. BETTEK THAN QUININE. Quinine is only an expensive medi cine, it is a harmful one if taken too freely and too often. Of course the world insists on taking great quanti ties of it for fever ana ague. Some persons think nothing else will cure fever and ague. We say positively, and testimonials back us up, that Brandbetii's Pills have oflen cured bad cases of fever and ague when quinine hns failed.
