Lone, Jealousy and attempt to Murder.-Our
Washington correspondent writes under date
of the the Oath, that an "attempt was made
to murder young woman oft town in the
Avenue last night. AS she was proceeding
to the theatre, in a carriage occupied by a
gallant and three females, the vehicle was
fired upon, and the intended victim received
a pistol ball in the cheek. 1t entered by the
side of the nose, and coming in contact with
the cheek bone, glanced off, and passed
through the opposite side of the carriage
The perpetrator of the outrage is said to he a
young lad of the age of is or is years, who
was driven to this act by love and Jealousy.
He has not been arrested. The unfortunate
girl was frightfully but not dangerously
wounded. "-Phila. Inquirer.
MOBILE, March %, 1888.
We have rowdy times here. On the 25th
a young man was killed under a trif1ing pre-
text. A friend, on his behalf, offered re-
ward of 300 for the apprehension of the
(Robinson,) and stated that the
Mayor refused to send an officer to the ship
Elizabeth Firth for him, alledging that the
required the presence of the consta-
bles. On the 26th, fight took place at the
Mansion House i1otel, and some blood was
spilled. Yesterday man was found dead in
the street with some slight marks of violence.
Yet can discover no attempt on the part of
the Police to apprehend the guilty, or enforce
the laws even that do exist. What norti-
fying contrastto the fine Police of LondoI.-
The bills of mortality for last year, in that
great city, report 26, 900 deaths. and only one
of them by murder.-Jour. Com.
Secrets of Heahh.--A fox-hunter can get
drunk every night in the year, and yet live to
an old age; but then he is all exercise and
no thought. A sedentary scholar shall not
be able to get drunk once a year with impu-
nifty; but then, he is all thought and no exer-
else. Now, the great object is neither to get
drunk, nor to be all exercise, nor to be all
thought but to enjoy all our pleasures with
a sprightly reason. The four ordinary Sc
crets of human life are-early rising. exer-
else, personal cleanliness, and the rising from
the table with the stomach unoppressed.-
There may be sorrows in spite of these, but
here will be less with them, and nobody can
be truly comfortable without them.
Physicians greater the ability, age,
and experience of physicians, the less medi-
cine they give. The longer they practice,
The more they depend on the restorative et-
forts of nature, and the less confidence have
hey in the specifics of art. Therefore do
not think less favorably of your physician,
because he prescribes little. Thousands are
sent TO their graves by the very medicine
which is sent to cure them.
Beautiful Sisters.-John Neal, in one Of his
rhapsodies, says: There is no misfortune so
great for a family Of girls, as to be all beau
tiful, and all unmarried at about the same
time. They are sure to wane, perish, die of
loveliness and ill-humor. Ifone-half ofthem
were as ugly as the devil, one-quarter just
passable, and the remainder all unlike each
other, with only one beauty, the whole might
get married at last So ladies depend upon
it, ifthere are many of you manageable, or
not, my advice to you is plainly this, draw
lots fairly and honorably, and blow up all
your faces with powder, except one. But if
that be too terrible take the small pox. 1t is
your only chance. In a few years, too, you
will be, assuredly, the more agreeable of the
two; you will have mind, in the wintry hour,
when the personal beauty of women is like
the shadow that hath gone-something that
nobody will take the trouble to run after even
in thought.
