CRIMINAL FolLY.-A few DAYS since 40 sfs
fair occurred IN the lower part Of the city
which adds one more TO the already long list
Of examples Of the criminal folly Of making
play things Of firearms. Two young men
named Vim. Kelly aud Theodore Vessels,
work in the lumber yard in Catharine street.
Kelly found Q gun in the counting room,
aud. surprising il TO be unloaded. ieyelled il
at the head Of Vessels. threatening at the
same time to shoot him. Vessels replied
that he did not care Cor all the lad that was
in that gun. Kelly pulled the trigger. and
Vessels at the same moment insiinciiyely
stopped down and held up an umbrella
which he held in his hand. To the horror
Of both. the piece exploded with a loud re-
port. and heavy charge of large shot. with
which il was loaded. passed through the hat
and umbrella Of Vessels. tearing both arri
cles 10 pieces. The last named individual
got of unhurt. but the narrowness Of his es-
cape from instant death may be Judged from
the fact that the shot. in passing through his
hat. carried away considerable partion Of
bis hair. Phil Bllisfia

: The Washington correspondent of the
New York Times writes: Ha 1s..-
The feeling against Commodore Paul
ding grows in intensity. 1t is urged
that it is a mistake to suppose Nicaragua
to be tire only party having a right to
complain of his acts that the Govern
mento of the United Suites is as much dis
honored by a gross violation of law and
individual rights as it is by invading the
rights of a foreign State, and that the
fact the individual is helpless, only
adds gravity to the offence. Again it is
urged that it will not do to permit an
officer of the United States to decide up
on cases in which the law may be viola
ted for even a good purpose. Establish
such a precedent, and how shall we avoid
continual entanglements abroad? The
principle established in the Koszta case
was upheld not in behalf of a State or
Government, but in behalf of an individ-
ual and it was the indicidwaI who was
officially declared entitled to be restored
to all the rights, privileges, &c, of (which
he was possessed when illegally seized
in the streets of Smyrna. But we shall
have all these points ably discussed next
week, probably in the House of Repre-
sentatives, by able and accomplished ju-
rists. d.

FREE BANKING.

An act to incorporate new banks hav-
ing been twice submitted to the people
in different forms, and having twice fail
ed receiving the popular sanction, it
may be considered as settled that the
majority of the electors do not desire
the further creation of institutions of
the character proposed. l see no rea-
son, indeed, especially if small notes be
once excluded from circulation, why the
business Of banking may not be safely
left as open and free to all who desire
to engage in it, as any other kind of
business, care being taken that ample
securities be given in bonds of the State
or the United States, and by the provi-
sion of an adequate specie fund, for the
prompt redemption of all notes in coin.
Bank notes circulating as mouey are
debts due to the community at large,

ANOTHER FREE STATE.-The vote of
Oregon against slavery has not disap-
pointed expectation. In six counties
the vote was, for slavery, 252, against
it 1921 in Monroe county, not inclu-
ded- in the above count, there is 800 ma
jority against slavery: The vote for ex-
Guiding free negroes is just as large
The policy of the Territory seems to be
to keep out all inferior races from a free
State. Oregon will doubtless be admit
ted into the Union under her present
Constitution, which will give additional
strength in the Senate to the interests
upon the Pacific.

Mr.. Campbell is not entitled to, and

it is said by those who know, that the
practice of former Congresses has been
against Mr.: Campbeil's claim. But We
shall see when the matter is settled. 1t

all irritations of the skin, fade and dis
appear after a few applications of Hol-
loway's Ointment. In these cases brisk
friction is Indispensable. Many of the
ordinary eruptions are caused by sup

powerful counter-irritant. The Pills

BANK CHARTERS AND CONTRACTS.

How far the provisions of the char
ters of the Banks organized under the
act of 1915, will admit of additional
guards against suspension, is matter of
doubt. The decision of the majority
of the Federal Supreme Court that the
charter of a Bank by Legislative enact
ment is a contract, and cannot there
fore be modified by subsequent legisla-
ton, makes the reformation of evilsin
credit currency always difficult and of
ten impossible. .s
AT the present moment, however, it
seems not improbable that an act might

tons and beneficial to the community,

"The Old Man,

The proud spirit of the youth, especially
of the present day, too often shows itself by
throwing off reverence for the parent, and
assuming an air of independence that will
not brook restraint, and pretends to great
contempt of parental authority. It is bad
sign when child becomes bold enough to
lay aside the tender names of Father and
Mother, or those briefer and more affection
ate titles of Papa and Mamma, to which our
infant lips were accustomed. Using in the
place of these words those coarser terms the
''old man." or the ffold woman''-affect-
ing to have no regard for the parent who
bore him-literally refusing to recognize the
relationship of parent and child. This hab-
it of speaking may be all unknown to the
parents, and many young people who are
given to 1t are very cautious never to use
those terms when the parent is within hear
ing. It shows very unamiable state of
heart. It may be thoughtlessness on the
part of the Children who have caught the
habit from their associations with others,
but no youth whose principles are pure will
suffer himself to speak of his parents in any
other terms than those of the highest re-
spect.
A father once said to me that when walk
ing in the street he overheard his own son
speaking of him as the "old man." and il
cut him to the heart as if the boy had pierc-
ed him with aknife.--N Y Observer.

A curious Freak of MANURE. =

We have received letter of interest from
]. E. Holmes, of Newark, Ohio, who in
forms us that there is white oak tree, of
fine healthy growth, standing near Robin
sons Coal Oil Works, in Perry county, on
which, at fiflV-fye feet from the ground, is
engrafted a black oak top of lofty and Wig
orous growth. 1t is about two feet in di-
ameter at the usual hight of cutting trees,
and the body stock is fourteen inches at the
grating portion, and the black oak imme
diately above it at once enlarges to twenty
two inches. The grating is represented as
being of the most perfect description, and
there is no appearance of deterioration in
either the white or black oak portions
There are several limbs below the union,
and those above are said to be equal to any
tree of the same description in that section
of the country, and would form luxuri-
ant and proper superstructure for stock
of three feet in diameter. The only reason
able supposition for this curious growth is,
that the white oak portion was broken by
the falling of black oak tree near it, and
that branch of the latter must have been
so driven into the fracture as to unite and
grow in firm manner to produce the sin
gular phenomenon above related.-.Scientif

A Cunning Horse.

Franconi, director of the Hippodrome in
Paris, and the famous artist in horsenan-
ship, has trained horse with great care to
feign being severely wounded, and go limp
ing back to his place. The four footed act
or performed his part admirably at rehears-
al, knowing we'll that the disobedience
would be followed by Immediate punish
ment, but when the time came for exhibi-
ton. the cunning beast made the discovery
that there would be no whipping in the
presence of an audience, and instead OF
Iimping as it ought galloped back as il
nothing had happened. Frsnconi was oblig-
ed to resort to the expedient of getting uE
an audience to deceive the refractory ami
NAL. Relying on the protection as before,
the horse again refused to limp, and re-
ceived sound beating. This impaired his
confidence in the public as shield from
his masters whip, and from that time his
part was well performed at every repre-
sentation.

Potato Culture.

A correspondent-Wm. Aldridge, of
Goreland. Ind.,-writing to. the Prairie
Farmer, states that having noticed how po-
tatoes were interrupted in their growth, and
invariably pined away and died if disturb
ed and bruised when wet with dew or rain,
he selected patch of potato field. the
whole of which was good soil and in good
order to try an experiment. This patch he
only plowed once, and then loosened the
soil with the hoe when the vines were above
ground, and in the heat of the day when
they were perfectly dry. He never touch
ed them afterward until they were dug in
October last year. These vines kept green
throughout the season. and the yield of
potatoes was very large. The other portion
of THE same potato field was purposely
worked three times, when the vines were
wet with dew. These blighted early, did
not produce half crop, and the potatoes
were of very inferior quality. The ground.
seed, and time of planting in both patches
were the same.
At this season of the year, the foregoing
may be very useful information to many OF
our farmers. who do not generally pay the
least attention in cultivating their potatoes
as to whether they are wet or dFy.-Seiea.
