WINDING: ONES BUSINESS.

It is doubtless a good rule to mind ones
own business and let other peoples
affairs alone. There may, however, be
some difference as to the limits of ones
business. For example, did He 'who
went about doing good violate this
rule? Was not that his special bust
ness? So, also, is he not minding his
own business who seeks out the dis
tressed, and solicits aid from the pros
porous for their relief? And yet such a
man is often blufed off with "mind your
own business" Every one who thinks
that he or she has a mission and seeks
to fulfill it, is often recommended to re
spect the rule of minding ones own
business. The other day in speaking
of the efforts of certain self styled re-
formers, q gentleman said that he had
Lived nearly seventy years, and had
learned that it was the better policy to
mind ones own business; and yet, in
less than three minutes, that same gent
leman was talking about writing book
on "Aristocracy, Rascality and Lazi-
| ness!" He was compelled to give it up,
that after all, every ope must be his own
| judge as to what his business is in this
| world.

THE BLOOD-HOUND.

We are so accustomed to connect the
idea Of this dog with that Of hunted fu-
gitive slaves and all manner Of cruelty,
that the very name makes one shudder.
But he is, notwithstanding, q noble and
beautiful animal, by nature pre-eminent-
ly mild and loving, and also, by nature,
hunter; and, his instinct leading him
to tear and kill his prey when he over
takes it, he naturally enough, makes no
discrimination in favor Of man, If that
be the game he is taught to pursue.
The name blood hound is given to him
for the reason that, if fresh blood be
spilled across the track of the animal he
is pursuing he will follow the blood in
preference to the other scent.
He is tall, square headed, with long
ears and dropping lips; his chest is
broad, legs crooked, elbows turned out,
tongue deep, and in pursuit he is slow.
But his power Of seeming is extraordi-
nary. He will follow single deer or
other animal twelve or fourteen hours
after he has passed by, and if lost for
the day he will resume the chase and
pursue with unerring certainty on the
day following and until his game is
overtaken. If he is in pursuit of the
cattle or sheep stealer, no matter how
many honest men have had the same
foot path, he still will follow the thief.
If he has lost his own master he will
follow his track through the streets of
the city, though an army may have
passed that way. How wonderful this
power! And how shall we account for
it? Has he examined the foot or shoe
that makes the track and scented the
peculiar effluvium that may escape
from it? If so, does that effiuvium adj
here to the foot print for hours and days
after the animal or man has passed by?
However great his power of scentiug,
how has he learnd what is to be dis
tinguished that he may not mistake the
track Of the animal he pursues? But
the whole subject is involved in mystic
ry, and all we can do is to call this
power in the animal, instinct.

Dealer" the Clinetop sisters dances, the
new and old songs of Miss st. Clair ,aHd

THE WEEKLY GLEANER-Devoted to
the rehabilitation of the South in it's former
prosperity-;s offered to subscribers at the
low rate of ST. SO for six months.
The annals of the American Republic
show no political campaign comparable in
the magnitude of its issues and the mo-
Nervousness of its results to that for the
Presidency, now pending. Indeed, the
very life of free government is on trial,
and it will be sad commentary on the
capacity of the people for the exercise of
that high trust if they, the jurors who are
to try the issue, pronounce verdict of
| self-condennation. If the South has any
hope it is in the success of the Democratic
party in the coming Presidential election;
and every citizen is vitality interested in
the progress of the battle, and cannot
afford to be without sound and reliable
newspaper.
AS an organ, not only of sound Demo-
cratic principles, but as vehicle of ge-
| neral news, the CLEANER is confidently
commended to Southern support. A large
eight-page paper, of forty-eight columns,
filed with the contributions of able cor
| respondents, the daily wealth of tele-
| graphic communication and readable edi-
torials. Especially will it be valuable as
an organ to disabuse the Northern mind
| of the falsehoods in relation to Southern
thought and actions, with which it is the
industrious vocation of certain parties to
poison the springs of Northern feeling on
Southern subjects. In this view of the
matter, no more valuable aid to the true
reconstruction of the country and restora-
ton OF just sentiment at the North toward
the South can be rendered than by sub
scribing to the WEEKLY CLEANER and
aending it to acquaintaEces and friends in
the Northern States.
We ask the aid Of such of our political
! comrades as shall zee this prospectus, in
the distribution of the paper; especially
during the progress of the impending
campaign.
The WEEKLY CLEANER is published
every Wednesday morning, and mailed to
single subscribers at $500 per al um; Six
Months, s1.50; Three Months, 75c.; Single
Copies, 10c. Sample copies will be sent
on receipt of address. Money for sub
scription should be sent in drafts or post
Office orders, but may be sent in regis
tered letter.
Write your address, post Office. County
and State, plainly. Ai.

TRK ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION OF
PRINCE ALFRED.-A dispatch from SYDNEY
New south Wales, dated March 3lst stats
Prince Alfred was recovering from the effects
OF his wounds. The attempted assassination
mas produced most profound excitement from
one end OF England 10 the other The press teens
with denu nciations of the assassin. and among
the people. with whom Prince Alfred was a
grt al favcrie, the crime forms the great topic OF
conversation.
Prince Alfred is the fourth child of q ueen
VICTORIA and was born in lsN. which makes
hlm young man OF twenty-four now. From
his very earliest wears he has been generally
regarded as the flower of the family and Is
more popular with the people than any other
of the U ueen's children. He now holds the rank
OF Captain IN the royal navy, and commands
the steam frigate Galatea. When he attained
bis majority he was created Duke of Edinburgh.
the first English Prince who has held that title
and he Is also heir-apfarent TO his fathers title
OF DL ke OF Saxe-Coourg Gotha, Prince Alfred
has travelled throughout Europe, and in fs6I
he visited New Brunswick and other British
Provinces on the Atlantic coast but did not
come TO the United States. Since then he has
sailed to South America, and his warm recep-
uon by the Emperor OF Brazil will be remem-
bered. In ls62 there was quite a demonstra-
ton in Greece IN favor OF his Accession TO the
then vacant throne, and the question was much
agitated in the English papers. He has been
quite wild, and II IL thought that some of his
indiscretions may have prompted the attempt
10 assassinate HIM.
