Al Attempt TO Assassinate Geueral

The New York SuA of Wednesday states
that a g mt man who was passenger on
the train which brought, General Grant
fro Baltimore to Philadelphia, on Friday
last, relates the following remarkable Incl
dent The General Had been sitting fora
long time at one Of the windows of The
car. During the evening he left his seat
and passed into another car. where he re-
mained. Another geRtlenlan who had seat
ed himself in the position vacated by the
General was subsequently startled by two
leadcn bullets that came crashing through
the window pane and Lodged in the other
side Of the car Fortunately these messen-
gers of death struckfa little too high to do
any injury, which the gentleman thought
might have been accomplished if he had
been struck by them. Whether this was
the result of accident or a deliberate at
tempt to assasiOate tho General Will pro-
badly never be known;but the fact two balls
were simultaneously fred into a window
at which Genor Il Grant had only a moment
before been sitting, certainly looks more
suspicious than otherwise. Trains of cars

TIE BAFFlED LAwYER.-At a sitting

thing strange in the dogs attention and
manner. lie put his hand on the head Of
the dog and spoke kindly. The dog en-
couraged, laid his paw on his masters
knee, and looked earnestly in his face
Recollections arose in the memory of the
master, and he exclaimed in surprise,

SC pleased at the recognition, that he al
most leaped on his masters back
Whether the landlord was informed of
the merits of the case, or not, my in
formant did not say. Hero followed his
master in the bedroom. when, seeing him
about to undress, he seized the skirt of
his coat with his teeth, and drew his
master towards closet. On opening
the door he discovered the corpse OF a man
suspended against the wall. He saw his
danger, aud made preparations according

This matter occurred shortly after the
return of the army from America, after
the war for independence. Many of the
disbanded soldiers took to robbing on the
highways, and gentleman ways travelled

were in right trim, piled everything move

sat down to wait the result. At mid.
night, there was knock at the door ; q

the family, who was taken suddenly i'll.

he was prepared with firearms, and would

three men, when after some further par.
ley, an axe was sent for to break in the
door. At this moment the sound of car
riagc wheels was heard from afar; Mr.
II thrust his head out Of the window, and
as the carriage approached, followed, at
the top of his voice. There were four
men in the carriage. They secured three
women, whom they found in the house,
and lodged them in Jail. by their in

FEMALEs.-Rcv. Henry Ward Becchcr
has said
"a girl is not allowed to be n girl
after she is ten years old. If you treat
her as though she were one, she will ask
YOU what you mean. If she starts to
run across the street, she is brought back
to the nursery to listen to lecture on
the propricty Of womanhood. Now it
seems to me that girl ought to be moth
ing but girl until she is seventeen. Of
course there are proprieties belonging to
her sex, which it is fitting for her to OBJ.
serve, but aside from these she ought to
have the utmost latitude. She ought to
be encouraged to be much out of doors,
to run and exercise in all those ways
which are calculated to develop the mus.
cular frame. What is true Of boys, is
the matter of bodily health. is cmineutly
so Of girls. 1t is vastly more important
that woman should be. Man votes. and
writes, and does business, but the woman
is the teacher and the mother Of the
world aud anything that deteriorates
woman is comprehensive plague on hui
man life itself. Health among woman
is thing that every man who is wise
and considerate for his race should moro
earnestly seek AMI promote.

A SErrLE.-A teacher in western
county in Canada, while making his first
visit to his constituents came into con-
versation with an ancient "Narmont'
lady, who had taken up her residence in
the "backwoods." OF course, the school
and former teacher came in for criticism ;
and the old lady, in speaking of his pre-
dcccssor, asked "Wa'al, master! what
do you think he larnt the schoilards =
=" Couldn't say, ma'am. Pray what did
he teach ?" "Wa'al, he told 'em that

Now, master, what do yom think about
sich stuff ? Don't you think he was an
ignorant feller ?" Unwilling to come
under the category of the Ignorant the
teacher evasively remarked "it really
did seem strange; but still there are
many learned men who teach these
things ~ "Wa'al," says she, "if the
airth is reound, what holds it mp ?" "Oh,
these learned men say that it goes around
the sun, and that the sun holds it up by
virtue of the law of attraction" The
old lady lowered her "specs,' and, by way
of climax, responded "Wa'al, II these

How another time to win
For each sign of love oni favor.
For each needed chastisement,
For whatever, ig Thy wisdom,

Locking upward through the darkness,
Tanning from OR grcfs away,

We do render thanks TO day.
And in such lime of trial,

Il language Of his own, and in which he
convcr.ed very hucutly at times, yet |
could better understand the language OF
his ewes, (does lave very expressive
eyesj than the language OF his lips. b
this as it may, one m0rain. he was ac.
cused of having murdered two Of neisa-
boris sheep. His muster, unwilling to
take up an evil report against his faithful
watch-dos, had the TRIAL postponed to
Monday next, as they say in court.
On the following night, however, an
other murder was committed. Ials time
the fact was too clear 10 admit DOUBT.
Hero was brought ia guilty, not by YER
diet of his peers but by convention of
two.lesced apitnals, who were too dull to
appreciate his motives ami too blind to
sympathize with under the circumstances;
neither had they courtesy II ask, as had

ceive theirs in the Hall Of Justice IN the
Park. lie opened bis mouth but thinks
