It is stated, on the very best authority, that Nobes has drawn over $6,000 out of the ponitentiary fund, for which no vouchers can bs found, It appears, also, from some of the bills ia the postession of the committes that Nobes has invested a great deal of the ponitentiary funds in high- pricod furniture and costly carpete, which have never ssen the inside of the peniten- tiary.

Sherb, who lost on January 28 a pocket-book containicg some $500 in money and several hundred dollars in ne- gotlable paper, in or near the postoffice. The evidenco against the defendants was almost purely of a circumstantial na— ture. It was proven by the deputy- sheriff of Pottawattomia county, lowa, Their notions on this matter s2em to us t5 be the wildest vagories. For instance thera is a stern mandate tssued by the father and mother to their davghter, after reaching the aga of fourteen years, that not by the slightest word or sign must she betray the preference which she may feel for avy young man, Not only this, but the girl 1s told that to do so 18 disgracefal, and worthy of the most severe puniehment, which s often meted out to her. This seems, of course, too rigorozs a proceeding to quell the sigos of love, but ft is neverthelesy practiced without ccmpunetion And one of the strangest points about it is that the malden herself, so far as I have observed, does not seem to chafe under the restraint thus lmpcsed upen her, but seems to acquiesce silently to the wish of her parents. She appears to thik that the holding back of her mos: ardent impulses is the most natursl thing in the world, and, accordingly, she suc- ceeds admirably. “‘The maiden's special guardian, after she reaches womanhood, is her grand: mother, wno takes her in charge and keeps her under the strictest surveil- lance.

Neiclior has there been the show of an atteri, at contra- dictlng the fact that the B, & O. is the only line having its own exclusiye depot in Wash- ington and the only line having different tracks forits Western bustness, and that from the East and North. Far- ther, the B. & O. is the only line direct into Washingten, as proven by its not having to announce a special schedule for its Washington trains as other lines are compelled to do. The B, & O. trains ron solld into Washington every day of the yesr, snd such additional eectlons of reg- ular trsios will be ran for the inaugara- tion as may be demanded. Thus no dis- arrangement of every-day arrangement is recessitated, All employees along the line have no spesisl iostractions to study, but simply attend to business as they are accustcmed to the year roond. To ove giviog the real situation a thought, it can- vot but be patent that when it comes to Washington passenger business, no line in existence can compars with the B. & 0.
