SPUN

This is getting 10 be a very popula
word-quite as much as that good oil
English word, "Bamboozle." whicI
Senator Benton sanctioned last sea
son. The necessity which some PEG
ple feel of Showing their spunk,
when trilling annoyances cross them
is productive Of vast amount 0
heart-burning, pickering and spleen
Many quarrel has risen in early
life and cast its shade of bitterness,
and hatred, .cvcn over the grave of ono
of the parties which had its origin in
an innocent mistake on one part, ana
determination to "show spunk," on
the other.
II will let YOU know I'"e got some
spunk p said a dunned landlord to his
creditor, one day, on acknowledging
the receipt of a dun. How did he do
it? He cursad, ravcd, sworc and
bIackguarded, paid his bill. and then,
to spite his impatient creditor, wen,
to another house to buy his liquor
and paid more money for poorer
goods. This was "showing spunk'
the proper or popular way.
Merchants sometimes get severel y
tried by the thoughtlcssness or heart.
lessness of customers; some Of them
sacrifice their personal interest, their
dignity Of character, temper and
peace of mind for the next twenty
four hours, mcrcI Y to show their
punk.-Becausc their customers are
reckless, undecided. or hcarllcss. t cy
will degrade themselves to a still
lower level by displaying spleen and
frelful reproach.
Farmers often 60 TO law on dis
puted landmarks, merely to "show
their spunk," and though neither may
be quite right, and though the dispute
may be settled by disnlcrestcd party
for fifty cents. and though the amount
in dispute be not five dollars, they will
sometimes spend $500 each in law
and neither get anything but beggar'
ly for the trouble. This last is not
4 very rare case.
T. Many individuals, wishing to show
the world that they "arc not TO be
trod upon," willingly show that they
are unfit even to be tread upon, owing
to their having so mean spirit OF
"spunk."
So we have seen married people
pass years in continual recrlmInat'on
and antagonism, merely because both
were "spunky. and neither would yleld
a jot. Their home was a perfect hell
and their children grew up in strife
Filtration and imprudence on her part.
and vice and proiligacy on his part.
succeeded the rational happiness of
conjugal life, and the very prime Of
life was changed to long and tcdi.
GUS interval OF dscordant existence
and all this because each wanted to
show their "sbunk."
Spunky people may depend upon
it that the only proper way to show
their spunk is to war with incessant
activity against all bitterness, hatred,
peevishness, indecorum, discourteous
language and undignified demeanor in
every possible shape, and by so doing
they will find that gentle words will
come cheaper and pay bett'r than
any other and that true peace of mind,
worth more than all else, is the ne.
cessary consequence of being "real
gentlemen and ladies. "--Boston In.

MEXICAN BATTLE WITH INDIANS

MEXICAN BATTLE WITH INDIANS
The San Francisco Public Balance. OF
the 3lst March, learns, by gentle
man from Sonora, that in the latter
part OF February a battle was fought
between the Sonoran troops. under
Gen. Castillo. and the A pache Indians,
in which the former were completely
defeated, some two hundred of their
best men being killed on the field.
and losing over three hundred pris.
oners. The loss of the Indians was
trifing. The origin of the war is
the discovery Of rich placers of gold
and silver in the Apache country.
which the Sonorans attempted to
work, but were continually molested
by the Indians--so much SO that it
was not safe to dig except when in
large parties. 1t is the wish of the
Sonorans to drive off the Apaches in
ordet that they may work the mines.
but the signal defeat they met with
in tho late engagement has rather
disheartened them.

ing March last. Mr.. Hamilton, Of

hunting with an acquaintance, observ.
ed drove of cattle in state of ap.
parent alarm. evidently pursued by
some dreaded enemy. Hating for
the purpose, they soon discovered as
the animals fled by them, that they
were followed by an animal bearing
the unmistakcabIc likeness of humani.
ty. Tie was Of a gigantic stature, the
body being covered with hair, and
the head with long locks that fairly
enve'oped his neck and shoulders
The "wild man." for so we must call
him, after looking at them deliberately
Tor a short time. turned and ran away
with great speed, lcaping from twelve
to fourteen feet at a time. His foot
prints measured thirteen inches each.
This singular creature has long
been known, additionally, in st. Fran.
els. Greene, and Poinsett counties.
Arkansas, sportsmcn and hunters hav-
ing described him so long as seven.
teen years since. A planter, indeed.
saw him very recently. but withheld
his Information lest he should not be
C edited, until the account of Mr..
Hamilton and his friend placed the
existence of the animal beyond caviI.
A great deal of interest is felt in
the matter. by the inhabitants of that
region, and various conjeclures have
been ventured in regard to him. The
most generally entertained idea ap.
pears to be that he was a survivor Of
the earthquake disaster which desc.
lated that region in 1911. Thrown
helpless upon the wilderness by that
disaster. it is probable that he grew
up in his savage state, until he now
bears only the outward resemblance
of humanity.

become the accounts Of this creature.
that an expedition is now organizing

A MODEL OF A WOMAN.-Some
time since a man residing a short
distance from the city "shullled of
this mortal coil" leaving a wife and
three daughters apparently helpless
aud pcnniless upon the world. In this
emergency the eldest daughter
about sixteen years of age-what
Burns calls a "bonne, sweet, and
sonse lass"-a whole armtul of health,
virtue and rural beauty, resolved to
make an effort for the support of her
mother and sisters. A warm hearted
neghbor offered her, at her own
solicitation, rs cents per cord for cut
ting wood. being an advance of %
cents on the usual price Tor such en-
ployment-commonly considered the
most laborious even for the sterner
sex. Nothing daunted, however, our
heroine commenced operations, and
by dint of application and economy.
in a short time managed to save
enough from her earnings to buy her
a wagon and team. She is now daily
seen selling wood in our streets, and
unloading as actively as any wood
carrier who drives to our city
pitching out the logs with her own
fair hands. We cordially commend
this lady-for such she is in reality
to such Of our bachelor friends as are
matrimonialIy inclined. We care not
in what rank of life such a woman
may be found, she is treasure. 10
the midst of poverty. toll and want,
her virtue is unimpeachabIe. and she
has only sought by unwonted labor
to support herself and relatives by the
toll of her own hands. Had not our
heart another shrine which claims its
homage, we know not that this moral
hcroine-this Joan of Arc ofthe alice.
tions-might not tempt us to violate
Mrs. Norton's oft'repeated injunction
to "love not" As it is, we advise oui
bachelor friends to "pay attention" to
our "wood." not the GLOVER" "girl."--

THE ELECTION

On Tuesday passed off very quietly
The weather was fine and the turn out
good, and the result is, as we predicted,
large majority for Bigler. On Tuesday
night before we had finished counting off
the returns in our own box, we were re-
ceiyng the returns Of our neighborlGg
towns. What a revolution the Telegraph
has effected 10 this matter. A few years
ago we were kept in glorious state of un-
certainty aud excitement for week. Now
the news is conveyed by lightning speed,
and before midnight on the day of elec-
ton, we may frequently form a fair esti-
mate Of the result OF the election in the
State. While watching the result of the
count, for Judges in the Court House, some
one comes in and announces the vote for
Governor in Danville, in few minutes al
ter, the result in Mauch Chunk, Allentown,
Minersvilr, Pottsyille, &C., is announced.
Shortly after anothrr dispatch announces
1000 majority for Bisler in the Northern
Liberties. A green horn present, very
complacently inquiries if these were the re-
turns Of last year, and regards with wonder
and amazement the announcement Of the
result from distant quarters. The tele-
graph Office at this place was crowded all
night, and the instrument was constantly
clicking from 10 O'Clock at night until
next morning, and throughout the next
day. Our young friend, Samuel J. Packer,
was kept SO busy in sending and receiving
messages, that be entirely forgot the fact
that a bottle Of pure cogniac, was in the
adjoining room, such only As our friend
Jerry Walker Of Philadelphia, nearly OPP
poste Jayne's Building, knows ho" to fur
nish. Some of those without, however,
had frequent occasion 10 refresh their mem
ories with something stronger than water.
The night, however, passed of very har-
moniously.
