A GARRoTER WHIPPED-A gentle
man named Haines was attacked in the
streets Of Memphis on last Monday
evening by highwayman, who attempt
ed to garrote him. Somewhat antici-
pating such movement Haines was
prepared and being a powerful fellow,
he squared himself, and suddenly
striking out from the shoulder his ad-
versary measured his length on the
bridge. Hainos followed up his blow
with a series Of kicks, which resulted in
the rascal opening his mouth and Pite-
ously begging for his life. Ordering
the fellow to get up, Haines gave him
another boot application, and after sat
isfying himself that he had no weapons,
told him to 'clear out, which he did
in much less time than we have con

VENTILATION OF THE APPLE BARREL.
BY this we mean the boring Of holes
in the head slaves of the barrels, that
will allow the escaping Of the moisture
that is constantly passing of from the
newly gathered fruit. We hazard MOTH
ing in the statement that one-half the
fruit sent TO this market this season, so
far has been materially injured from
this cause. The effect Of confined vapor
upon the apple is not at once apparent.
The rruitappears uncommOnly brighton
the FIRST opening-but as the surface
dries off, the apple begins to grow dull
looking, and, if a light-skiuned apple,
in dav or two will present the appear
ance of half-baked fruit
But this steaming from confinement
not only Injuries the sale Of the fruit,
but to the great disappointment Of the
consumer, his fruit does not Eeep as he
supposed it would and as the variety of
apple he purchased led him to suppose
il would. Premature decay is sure to
follow as consequence Of this bad ven
tilation. Chicago Fruit Dealer.

wildly describes death thus; "By tho
stiffness of the sharpened features, by
the blackness of the fearless eye, by
the fxedness of the smileless mouth,
by the deadoning tints, by the contract

know that the soul is to leave its NOR
tai tenement, and is already closing its
windows and putting out its fires"

Ev At the Black Republican convention,
held at Chicago, John Wentworth made a
speech--lengthy John-and he thus spoke
of Douglas:
In the course of his speech. he said that
Dougl las woul 1 inevitably be nominated at
Baltimore. That having majority of the
votes, he could not be defeated; and sd
hing. in great earnestness. " Douglas Is
stronger than eoer he was." Says he, 1--WE
charged on the Douglas men that they would
accept anything from the South, in order to
nominate Douglas. For once we are mis-
taken and disappointed. They went to
Charleston, sat there day after day, reso-
lutely and unAinching'y voting for their
man and his doctrine, and then came home
again without yielding a single point. AT
Baltimore he will be nearer his friends, and
will have the accumulated prestige of stand
ing to his colors, rather than nomination
without them. l tell you. Republicans
we have got to fight Stephen A. Douglas
in 1860. and it will be the hardest battle
we have ever engaged in. If the people

not they will eleo. him spite of fate. Must
We always be fighting this man Douglas, and
never conquer him? My friends, there is
