An Iowa girl recently killed large
lynx with a corn-cutter after he had
whipped two dogs. We once knew a girl
in Illinois under similar circumstances.
The wolf came to the house, and was in
the act Of getting away with pig, when
the house dog attacked it. A terrific
fght ensued. Seeing that the dog was
setting the worst of it, she rushed into
the fray. and split the lupins marsuder' 6

freshtng to find an article of geIeral

however, there is one article that, If the
popular verdict Is worth anything, is as
far removed from its competitors in the
valuable properties It possesses, as it is
In it's enormous demand. OF course we

A CORRESPONDENT of the Rochester
Democrat, in writing from New York,
thus speaks of the Rev. a. @. Potter,
who has recently been called to the
Pastorete OF Grace Episcopal Church, in
that city:
AT an age which must be considera-
bly, under thirty, Mr.. Potter enters
into the service of the brilliant and
fashionable Grace Church, with a par.
sonaRe of exquisite beauty and a sal
ary OF SIC, 600 per annum. This is bet
ter than Mr.. Beecher's emOluments,
and he has been considered the besf
paid of all American preachers. He
receives Sl2 600 without a house; and
Mr.. Potter's future residence would
rent quickly for $4,000. But we are
not surprised at the choice made by
the church. Mr.. Potter is not only a
promising young man, but has the
prestige Ofa strong family name.

One OF the most oppressive features in

pe aple to do much work while waiting
the slow progress of the law, and the
time which they lose in enduring the

HARD TIMES IN NEW YoRK.-The
New York correspondent of the Phila-
delphia Ledger writes:
"Ths past week has been a hard one
in mercantile circles. Seven failures
are reported. Some ofthese are called
suspicious only, and one or two of the
parties are said to be compromising
with creditors. The aggregate failures
since the 1st OFF anuary, are said to he
twenty-five, with liabilities amount-
ing to 81, $50 900.
To the infinite disgust of the smaller
dealers, the leading dry goods estab-
llshment in Broadway gives notice that
on and after tomorrow 1t will reduce
its prices on certain dne qualities OF
goods from II TO l6 per cent, applying
especially to silks. This will compel
other houses to follow their example,
or do without trade altogether.
In the Wholesale market, however,
some kinds of goods have been adYanC-
ing within the few days past. Cam
bricS are 12x cts, per. yard dearer; New
York Mills are held at 25 cts, and to-
gether with many bleAched and brown
goods, are sold ahead of production.
The manufacturers of prints have been
trying TO put up prices 1a1X cents, but
have not succeeded. In wool hannels
fair business Is doing, but other fab

NEW YORK CLUE RooMs.-A cores
pondent writes: Smoking lures and de-
tains men from the society of ladies.
This herding of men into clubs, these
dinners to which only the men are
invited, the late sitting at the tables af-
ter the ladies have Withdrawn, the
gathering of male guests Into some
smoking-room, apart from the ladies of
the party is not the cigar chiefly respon-
sible for these atrocities2 Men are not
society; women are not society; society
is the mingling ofthe two sexes in such
way that each restraints and inspires
the other. The community is al
ready far gone in dsgeneracy in which
men prefer TO band together by
themselves, In which men do not crave
the society or ladies, and value IL as the
chief charm of existence. SVhat is the
real attraction of these gorgeous es-
tablishments2" asked, the other
evening, of an acquaintance who was
about to enter one of the new club
houses on Fifth avenue. His reply
was, "No women can enter them, Once
within these sacred walls, We are free
from everything that wears petticoatsI"
Are We getting to be Turks2 The
Turks shut women In; we shut them
out. The Turks bulk harems for their
women; but we find It necessary to
abandon TO women our abodes. and
construct hRrems for ourselves.
