Brutal Murder.

Captain Matt. Dryer, formerly of the
18th (rebel) Tennessee Regiment, COM
manded by Colonel White, of this city,
has been stopping for time at the house
of an Irish laborer, named John Linehan,
living on the Randolph road, about quar-
ter of a mile beyond Wolf river. 1t APP
pears that Linchan became jealous of
Dryer. His story is as follows:
On Wednesday evening, I went to the
house with two friends Of mine, and we
had something to drink. On going into
my wife's room suddenly I found Dryer
in there with her, and as soon as he saw
me he knocked me down and kicked me
out of the room, calling me a-and say
ing he would kill me yet. Ny friends
made me 60 to bed, and yesterday morn
ing when [ awoke, | got to thinking about
Dryers treatment of me, and l deter
mined to kill him. I got right up and
went to the yard and got an AKA COM
mon old wood ax-and went to my wife's
room, he was not there, and | went to her
sons room where he generally slept.
Here | found him in bed with the boy,
both asleep. | walked up to the bed and
dealt him one blow with the edge of the
ak, driving it into and splitting his skull
open. | drew the AK out and stood by
him moment to see if he would move
or speak; but finding him dead, laid the
ak down, washed myself, put on a clean
shirt, and came down town to deliver my
self up to the police. The first one met
l delivered myself to him. On the road
down l told good many people what l
had done. The policeman brought me
here adams street station) and locked
me up. That is all-the truth, and moth
ing but the truth. / killed him-I am
glad l did it, and would do it again if
had the same cause.
Linehan is forty years of age, and his
wife about the same age. The charge
made by him against Dryer is probably
unfounded. He is now in Jail.

There is farmer in Mentz, France,
who keeps many swarms of bees, which
come into his room every morning when
he opens the window. They buzz and fly
about his head until he bids them alight.
They then settle down on his arms, and he
looks as if he wore pair of immense
muffs. When the servant announces
breakfast they Immediately, without be-
ing told, proceed to the table and cover
the space not occupied by the dishes. Be-
fore commencing to eat, the farmer or
ders his honey makers to their hives,
whittier they go after having in turn
touched his face as if to kiss him.

Eating NIathcmnticnlIy.

Persons in good health should never eat
any article of food simply because it is
"healthy," nor avoid IAN article because
some one says it is "unhealthy." Nat
uro's instincts are better and safer guide
for she Graves food, the distinctive ele-
ments of which are needed in the system
hence no mans likes or dislikes of an ar
ticle of diet should be the guide of anOth-
or, any more than all soils should require
the same fertilizer in quality and quantity
Sometimes, indeed, but rarely in good
health, man may crave earnestly an ar
ticle of food, and, after eating it, feel un-
comfortable yet, rather than conclude it
did not agree with him and discard it, q
smaller quantity should be taken next
time; and very often that smaller quanti-
ty, we'll divided, prepared properly and
eaten slowly will "agree," simply because
the system needed only that smaller guam
tity.
Brown bread is said to be "good fOr''
many persons, by its keeping the system
open and free, but if man is we'll enough
in that respect, he would do we'll not to
eat brown bread, unless he was fond of it,
so as to have it to fall back upon, should
he need its medicinal effect. In short, eat
according to the natural appetite as to
quantity and quality, and not according
to artificial rules and regulations.
If a man is an invalid and has family
physician, it is safer and better to put
himself under that physicians guidance {;
if he has no physician, let him feel his own
way, taking small quantities at regular
intervals, and closely observe the effects.
For both sick and we'll, it is just as UNI
wise to measure and weigh each meal day
after day as it would be to wear the same
amount of clothing and consume the same
amount of fuel every day in the year, win
ter and summer. In mature life we eat
for two reasons-to repair wastes and to
keep the body warm; the wastes are in
proportion to the preceding exercises, and
the internal warmth needed is in proper
tion to the temperature of the atmosphere
about the body. If you eat to-day, while
idle and the thermometer at sixty, as
much as you did yesterday when it was
at zero and you worked hard, you will
certainly be sick tomorrow. After all,
don't make god of your belly, but accus-
tom yourself to think of eating and what
you shall eat only when the time for eat
ing comes; beast or glutton may do
otherwise, man will not.

CuRIous.-A San Francisco paper tells

CURIoUs.-A San Francisco paper tells
the following curious fact in natural his
tory: A cat in that city had kittens a
short time ago. Two days afterwards she
found rats nest with twelve young rats
in it. She killed and cat the old rat, but
instead of destroying the little ones, took
them all into her own house and adopted
them. They are there now, sucking her
alternately with her own kittens, running
over her, playing about, and treated with
as much tenderness and consideration as
her own purry offspring. If any one re-
moves one of the little rats, pussy exhibits
much uneasiness, and on finding the stray
ratty carries it back carefully with the
other members of her family. The most
curious part of the story is that she bears
the reputation of being capital mouser,
and it is therefore open to suspicion that
she may intend to rear the little ones un-
til they are fat and then eat them.

SORROWS OF AN OLD UNION MAN.-Jo-
seph Segar, an old Union man who was
elected United States Senator with I'm
dorwood, having recently been urged to
announce himself for Congress, comes out
in long letter, from which we extract
the following:
"Your Partially, my dear sir, much
misleads you. My election to Congress is
next to an impossibility. My peculiar
Union antecedents and history are of no
avail now. We whose bodies are Scared
over with wounds received in fighting the
battles of the Union, are superseded by
eleventh-hour men and vagrant adventur-
ers from abroad"

AN OUTRAGE ON THE HELpLEss-The
Hagerstown (Maryland) Mail says: ga
friend residing in this county, who has
had four children in the Columbia Insti-
tute of Washington City, an institution
where mutes are educated, informs us that
negroes are now admitted as pupils, and
that they are placed at once on the
same footing with the white pupils. Not
only do the negroes sit side by side with
the whites in the school room, but the
white pupils are obliged to sleep in the
same beds with the negroes, and are often
compelled to kiss the negroes. Thus are
we progressing; social equality in the mute
asylum, where not word of objection can
be raised. The gentleman who gives us
these facts is a man Of integrity.

Furl that Banner, for 'tis weary;
Round its staff tits dropping dreary;
Rurl it, fold it, it is best;
For there's not u man to wave ii,
And there's not sword to save il,
And there's not one left to lave it
In the blood which heroes gave ii
And its foes now sCOrn and brave it;
Furl it-hide it-let ii rest.
Take that Banner down; tits tattered
Broken is its staff and shattered
And the valiant hosts are scattered,
Over whom it floated high.
Oh tits hard for us to fold it
Hard to think there's none to hold il
Hard that those, who once unrolled it,
Now must furl it with sigh.
Furl that BannCr-furl it sadly
Once ten thousands hailed it gladly,
And ten thousands wildly, madly,
Swore it should forever wave
Swore that toemans sword should never
Hearts like theirs entwined discover,
Till that flag should float forever
Ger their freedom or their grave.
Furl it for the hands that grasped it,
And the hearts that fondly claspcd it,
Cold and dead are lying low;
And that Banner-it is trailing!
While around il sounds the wailing
OF its people in their woe.
For though conquered, they adore it
Love the cold, dead hands that bore il
Weep for those who fell before it
Pardon those who trailed and tore il!
But, oh wildly they deplore it,
Now, who furl and fold it so.
Furl that Banner true tits CORY,
Yet tits wreathed around with glory,
And twill live in song and story,
Though its folds are in the dust;
For its fame on brightest pages,
PcDned by poets and by Sages,
Shall 60 sounding down the ages
Furl its folds though now We must.
Furl that Banner, softly, slowly,
Treat it gently-it is holy
For it droops above the dead.
Touch it not-unfold it never,
Let it droop there furled forever,
For its peoples hopes are dead!
