Last night Celestial named Chen Fong

her clothes and the woman's person. He
was seen to throw it from a bottle. The

saved her from more serious injury. AS

A FIGHTING LOCAL EDIroR.-The Green
vile Ala Southern News has local editor,
who, it appears, did not get enough fighting
in the rebel army, and throws himself into q
fighting attitude because lady of bis ac-
quaintance failed to notice him on the
street:
"We would respectfully suggest to the
young lady whom we met the other day on
the sidewalk of the public street, and who
failed to return our salute, that, while we
feel no resentment toward a lady, we are
very capable of feeling it toward brother,
and particularly toward Sweetheart, who
may champion her cause. We did not think
the omission inadvertant, but Intentional
If she can recognize her identity, we would
be most happy to receive her champion, in
any way his peculiar taste may indicate,
from straight out and-out fisticuff to 'pis-
tolls and coffee for two"

SKILLED LABoR-The market value of
skilled and educated labor in some depart
ments of mechanics is enormous. In the
window glass factories of Pittsburg, blowers
and hatters receive as high as $3.50 per
month; while few of the most skillful often
receive as high as $40 per day for their ser
vices. Some of the meters in steel works
receive from $50 to so per day. Glass
silverers where the largest and most expen-
sive mirrors are required, receive very high
wages. In fact, it is said that there are not
half dozen of the really proficient in this
kind of work on the continent Not one IN
a hundred of those who make the attempt,
ever arrive at the requisite degree of pro
fciency in this business, to turn out first
class work. The skill in both this and steel
melting, is in the quick and proper percep-
ton of the eve. The same remarks are also
true of die-cutters for type founders.-Scien-

turned to the bounds of civilization after
eighteen years residence among the Indians

Massachusetts, in the spring of lS4S, for
California by the overland route. They had
crossed the plains of Utah, when they were
attacked by party of Snakes and Shoshones,
and all were captured or killed. The father
of Mrs. Kimball was burned at the stake,
but the young couple were adopted by the
Indians and have lived among them ever
since until last spring, when they were

measure. his favorite food being raw beef
steak. His wife was in company with him.

her what it was. " My folks won't let me
have my own way" was her reply. I" II
you will tell them," she continued. ''to let

that she shouldn't. 81 can endure great

EcoNoMY.-When Spaniard eats peach
or pear by the roadside, wherever he is, he
digs hole in the ground with his foot, and
covers the seed. Consequently, all over
Spain, by the roadside and elsewhere, fruit
in great abundance tempts the taste, and is
ever free. Let this practice be initiated in
this State, and the very wanderer will be
blessed, and bless the hand that ministered
to his comfort and joy. We are bound to
leave the world as good or better than we
found, it and he is selfish churl who basks in
the. shadow and eats the fruit of trees which
other hands have planted, if he will not also
plant trees which shall yield fruit to the
coming generations.
