REMARKABLE COMBAT WITH Crow
The Nashville Dispatch says. One of the
most remarkable eombats that has come TO
our notice for some time, occurred yesterday
on the roof of building on Deaderick Street,
between Cherry and College. A lank, un-
gainly crow, with the same sombre plumage
and hungry beak as the one celebrated in
verse as having sat with his mate upon a
tree, cogitating upon the prospects of dis
tant dinner, alighted upon chimney, near
where workman was humping with a
mallet upon the bright new sheets OF tin
which had been spread upon the roof Ap-
parently unaware OF the presence of any
one, the sable bird sat eomplacenlly upon
his perch, while the workman at once set
his wits at work to devise plan of capture.
After meditating few moments, he began
cautiously creeping up behind his intended
victim, and on coming within reach, laid a
quick, glanclng blow across its back, and
stretched his hand to catch il as il should fall
The crow, however, did not fall, and Q
shout went up from the spectators, as i
turned upon its assailant furiously, and dart
ing into his face, compelled him to beat (
hasty retreat. Then resuming its place, i
threw upits head and awaited second onset
The man could not once think of giving III
such contest, and in a few minutes wa
again advancing toward the bold bird, who
on seeing his approach, second time dartet
at him, the man making vigorous sweep
with his mallet, and the crow adroitly dodg
ing them, meanwhile making decided head
way upon the hat and countenance of ii
persistent foe, who was at last compelled t.
again slide back. Again taking courage
however, he advanced a third time, when
series Of attacks and repulses followed, rt
suting in complete victory for the crow
who, as the battle closed, perched deflantl
o in its first position, where it remained fc
: about half an hour, and then flew towar
Q the fitting white clouds that were foatin
in the sky.

of sad chapter in the recent disaster on
Lake Ontario. Among the passengers OF
the steamer Wisconsin, burned near Cape
Vincent, was Mr. Chisholm, from Canada,
on his way to Missouri, in company with
his wife and six children. He was man
about fifty-flve years old, had bought farm
in the State to which he was travelling, and
was moving with his family and goods.
When the fire broke out he was on deck,
but his wife and children had retired for the
night. He called them up hurriedly and
sought to save their lives in most untortu-
nate way. One of the small boats was let
down to about foot of the water, and about
twenty passengers leaped into it, and Mr.
Chisholm assisted his wife, three daughters
and son TO get in. One OF the frightened
crowd cut with knife the rope which con-
nected the bow Of the small boat with the
davit, and the loosened end dropped down
like spoon, and at once filled with water
The passengers were thrown out and near.
lY all drowned. This happened not more
than minute and a half before the steamer
struck the shore on Grenadier Island, and
had all remained on board, as the captain
ordered, not life would have been lost
Mrs. Chisholm, the three daughters, aged
respectively twenty seven and fifteen, and
the boy OF eleven years, were all drowned
The father and the two elder sons, who
stuck to the steamer, were saved Mr.. CHS
holm had $4,000 in greenbacks, his only
fortune, which was in his wife's satchel, ant
was destroyed by the flames. Thus he wal
left in strange land, widower, berett o
four children, without money or property
with this great griet resting upon his soul
to commence the world anew. The bodice
of his wife and children were recovered
and have been inferred in the grave yard a
Cape Vincent, and the sad, heart broker
husband and father, with his two remaining
sons, will go on to his homeless home in thl
West. Few life dreams have sadder chap
ters than this

EATING IN FRANcE.-The Paris cores
pondent of the London Star says: II appears
to me that the French especially since the
last few years, attach much more importance
to eating and drinking than do the English.
Most OF the finest establishments on the
boulevards are cafes or restaurants, and at
the exhibition the whole exterior circle is
occupied by eating houses, wherein fifty
thousand pairs Of jaws absorb daily about
three hundred and fifty thousand francs
worth of meat, vegetables, and drinks of
various sorts. A Frenchman does not eat
much, but he is fond of tit-bits. He eats
more for the sake of tasting than through
greediness. He has the appetite, but his
constitution does not permit of his satisfy
ing it as his forefathers were able to do. All,
they knew how to eat Who among us
would deserve the appellation of gaTges
gwen by Cicero to a good eater? Who
could perform the feat accomplished by
Milo, who, having killed an OK with blow
OF his fist, devoured it in less than twenty
four hoursY Who could initiate tine noble
example set by Phagon, who, having been
asked to dinner by the Emperor Aurellan,
afforded his Majesty the curious spectacle of
devouring wild boar, sheep, sucking
pig, and drinking, meanwhile, an ocra OF
wine? No, certainly, we are not worthy Of
our forefathers; and therefore it is absurd
to accuse the present generation of being
gourmands. When one recalls the three
hundred dining rooms of Lucullus, the Salon
d'Appollo, where each repast cost the pur-
chase money of a province; when one re-
members the six hundred ostrich heads eaten
at single meal by Heliogabulus, or that
huge dish of bird livers which eight slaves
could scarcely carry, one feels certain com.
passion for the eating capabilities of the
present race. The vast belt of restaurants
that encircle the Exhibition only appear as
series of establishments worthy of race o
Liliputians

SOMEBODY has written the following about the grls'-
THE GIRLS.

WIVEs--THUE WIVES.

They nil our hives
With little bees and honey;
They lie's shocks.
They mend our socks,
But doutthsy spend The money
When We are sick,
They heal us quick
That is, II they do love u.s.
II not, we die,
And yet they cry,
And place lombstones above us,
OF roguiah girls.
With sunny ouris,
We may in fancy dream
But wives-true wlves-
Throughout our lives
Are everything they seem.

PRAYING FOR A HUsBAND.-A correspon-
dent of the Rochelle (Ill.) Register, locates
the following near that place. Though the
story is considerably older than the cores
pOndent, it is worth reading:-A young lady
heard that if she would go out and pray
three successive nights, the Lord would tell
her who she would marry. Now, it hap
pened that her father had young man in
his employ who had considerable wit and
good humor about him. One evening he
was out in an apple tree after fruit, when he
heard some one praying something like
this 30, Lord, who will marry2" The
idea popped into Doyle's (that being the
young mans name,) mind that he would
have little sport at her expense. So he
spoke in a changed voice, and SAID, "Doyle. y
mo, Lord, not Doyle, cried the astonished
young lady. "Yes, Doyle or no one, agsiE
sounded from the tree-top in sober, hollow
voice. She arose and entered the house
resolved to try again the next evening. o
course Doyle did not wish to spoil the fun
and so the next evening found him seated
IN the tree top. He did not have long Il
wait before the young husband-seeker came
and commenced praying in the same way
that she did the preceding evening, and re
ceived the same answer. The next evening
also found her under the tree, pleading t,
know her future husbands name, and agail
she heard the answer, 'Doyle or no one.
She arose, feeling satisfied that she mus
marry Doyle. The next morning she me
him and asked him why he did not dress VI
and put on better clothes. He said he wa
not able. "Wer," said she, "father i
rich, and he will let you have money" FL
took that for pretty good hint, and bough
suit of new clothes. In a short time h
offered his heart and hand, and was accept
ed. After their marriage he told her hov
her prayers were answered. If any of til
fair readers of this story should think @
praying for husband do not go under tree
or if you do, be sure and examine it closely
and see if there is any one to answer it.

AMERICAN MANNERs.-Dr. Potter says:
am a little afraid that great many
people in this country are rather too prone
to undervalue this part of education. Ger
tainly we have no admiration for anything
tnical or affected in manners. We do not
want the manners OF village dancing
school, But genuine good breeding, gentle
manners, ease, modesty and propnety of
bearing, we do exceedingly value. When
shall we cease to be described as splitting
nationP as lounging people2 When shall
we cease to be known by our sloVenly
speech, by our sitting with our feet higher
than our headsP During an excursion Of
several months in Europe last year, met
hundreds of English, at home and on the
continent, in every situation. never saw
one spit. cannot remember that ever
saw any one, however iatigued, lounging or
sitting in an unbeeoming manner.
So long as the State shall feel itself obliged
to provide "spittoons" for its legislative
halls--so long as the directors of our rail-
roads shall find occasion to put inside Of
their carriages printed requests to the pas
sengers 10 "use the spihoons and not the
floor, and not to put their feet upon the
seats'-so long as we shall continue to Al
our conversation and our political haranguei
with the slang OF the fish market, let us MOI
he surprised or angry if foreigners some
times make themselves witty at our expense
And in the meantime, let all those who art
ntrusted with the care of the young ust
their utmost endeavors to correct these
national barbarisms, and to form the man
ners OF the rising generation after mode
more elevated and more rehned.
