Another Attempt 10 Assns,inate "a Dem CORA.
tic Editor.

On the evening of the lth ul,., Col. j..
u. Harris, editor ofihe Nashville Union,
was shot through the breast by son OF
the late Senator Foster in company with
his brother and some half dozen others.
Col. ii. was drinking glass of water at
the Nashville Inn, entirely inapprehensive
of danger, when the ball hit him, which
passed through the breast bone and drop
ped down in the cavity, without material
ly injuring the lungs. But slight hopes
are entertained of his recovery. After he
fell, the other Foster rushed towards him.
and would have shot him through the
head, had it not been for the bar-keeper.
Co. Harris was recently from Boston,
and was one of the most amiable young
men living. And he would rather die
thus by the hand OF an assassin than be
the victor in duel, as every man OF mo-
raj principle would.-Chicago Dem.

How TO BOIL IRISH POTATOES
and indifferent potatoes depend very
much upon the manner in which they
are prepared for the table. Some cooks
always have heavy, hard, watery potatoes;
while others, for the most part have them
dry, mcaly, and cellent.-This differ
ence depends, generally, upon the differ
ence of cooking. The first cook puts the
potatoes into cold water, warns them
through by slow fire, and cools them as
slowly; while the other puts them in
boiling water, stirs the fire till they are
JUST DONE, takes them out Immediately
throws wet cloth round them, and gent
ly squeezes each with the hand till il
cracks open, for the watcry particles to
escape in form of steam, then pcals them
and they are exactly right. By this plan,
almost any potato will eat well.

INDEPENDENCE,

Some men are greatly envied for what is
thought by others, and perhaps by themselves
to be state of independence. But it NAV well
be questioned whether such being as an indL-
pendent man ever existed. The opuent gen.
tleman, who dwells in princely mansion, fur.
nlshed with costly equpage, and who fares
sumptuously every day, is even less lndeper-
dent than the beggar at his kitchen door, who
petitions for bone or crust. Against the hot
tlo assaults Of the elements the latter needs 70
less human protection, comparatively, than tht
former. The mendicant has no ship at sea, tc
be rescued from peril by sailors toll no pala-
ces or store houses to be saved from conf1agra
lou by masses oi men COMMONLY considered de,
pendent-no stocks in danger of depreciation
no boards Of precious metals exposed to plum
der-no loans or speculations, or adventures a
stake that prevent his sleep O. nights" In tn,
abstract, there is neither independence nor ab
jeet hetPnessness in the moral and social worlc
whatever there may be in the physical. All
men are dependent on their fellows. All mel
are in some sense beggarS. To the forgelfhl
ness ofthis ruth are to be imputed the growtl
Ofpride and the absence of humanity; but in il
contemplation, the great principle the nstura
equality Ofman is most clearly realizod.-Nan

PRINTERS CRATUITES.

No class ofmechanics, perhaps, suffer more
from the predatory and begging habits of indi.
viduals than printers. They work SO hard,
invest SO much, and furnish their papers SO low
that people really seem to think they actually
are worth nothing but to be given away, or Ia.
ken without leave. Accordingly, nothing lie
more common than for people, who have the
curiosity to read something that happens to be
particularly interesting, or who wish to send a
paper TO friend as a token Of remembrance, to
run to printing Office, and ask for, or take a
paper just out from the press; and if the printer
should think Ofssking him anything for it, the
customer would think himselfqnite insuIted by
the niggardllinesS cfthe stingy printer. With
what other mechanics or business man would
people think oftaking the same liberties I Go
into grocery and ask the retailer to give you q
four.pence- -ha' penny's worth oftea, coffee OF
sugar, and unless you were really an object o
charity, he would probably think himself the
one impooed upon. Or visit book store and
most likely the proprietor will pursue his Gus
tomer with writ Ior petit larcency. Go into
ajoiner's shop and ask him to give you six cts
worth of his VIZ res, and you would feel as i
you were engaged in cheap business. Anc
yet people will enter printing Office and TAX
six cents worth of printers labor and reall
think it one of that sort of things which shoul,
be given away, because The paper Is printe.;
A clean white sheet he would think too vau |.
BILE to abstract without pay, and yet it costs
printer seventy five dollars every week 10 set u
the types that are impressed that are impresSe,
upon the sheet that make it worthless. No. no
this is not the way to do business. IF yo

all honorable men do-just step into the offic
and lying down silver bit say-"Sir, if yo
please, let me have one your papers and tax
that in pay for it," You will be readily accom-
modated, and, and thon be seated, (not lookin

The Getlemdnly Man. This is a man

mongst the lower or middle ranks.

are all objects of imitation. He lives
on an annuity of five hundred pounds
does nothing at all useful-and despi-
ses all who do. His wife is the siy-
teenth cousin ofa lord, which fact he
took great care 10 communicate 10 the
world in the newspaper at the time of
the marriage He may consequently
be said to belong to the aristocracy, and
this accounts for his Intimate knowledge
OF the marriages and intermar lages OF
the great ones Of the land. lie speaks
learnedly oflhe operas, and knows 10 a
day when the fashionable season begins
and when it ends. He alludes frequent
ly to circumstances which occurred when
he was "on the Continent" and pities,
people who have not travelled.
He speaks French with tho verlible
London accent. He disllkes port, aud
has ideas about being helped twice to
souP.-He has place taken in the front
row Of the dress circle when he visits
the theatre, which he often does, being,
he says very fond of public Places He
goes TO Bologue, or Ramsgate, in Sep
tember, because nobody of the least
consideration can then remain in town.
Marga'e he thinks vulgar. He is par
tial to astonishing wais,c oats, and rev.
els in eternal white kid gloves. Nor
ming. noon and night is he gloved the
same-in defiance and utter disregard oI
all wholesome love of contrast. He
