HOW STUPID.

How stupid to walk along the street
with an umbrella or cane under your
arm-the point sticking out for every
one to run their face into.
How stupid for three ladies to walk
abreast, and move so slow that people in
q hurry must either go between them
or get into the gutter.
How stupid to puff and blow and well
nigh faint upon ascending a stairway,
with forty pounds of fashionable cloak
on your back.
How stupid to go late to church and
annoy the minister and congregation by
your fussy entrance.
How stupid to wear dress four feet
too long, and look daggers if any one
steps on it.
How stupid to walk for exercise
when you need rest.
How stupid not to know what you
want when you get into dry goods
store.
How stupid to eat when you are
not hungry.
How stupid to smother the smell OF
your unwashed person in musk or Other
disagreeable perfumes.
How stupid to think that peoples
opinion of you increases in proportion
to the cost of your clothes.

WATERING MLK.-An exchang e
thinks "the aqueous augmentation OF
milk nuisance and swindle." We
agree with our contemporary in every
thing except language. We suppose,
however, what was meant in the prem
ises. translated into the American vul-
gate, was, that the man who so far for
gets the proper position of things as to
place his milk pail under the nose of a
pump, while he illustrates the princi-
pies of the lever, by raising and de-
pressing the handle thereof. has not q
correct idea of honesty. In still plain
er phraseology, that he is beat. Wa
ter is necessary element in the MANN
facture of snow banks, rain Showers,
rivers, canals, and things of that sort,
and if properly administered to COWS,
with due proportion of hay, bran and
carrots, and equally stirred together
applying one-legged stool to the hip
bone of the beast, may be used in the
manufacture of milk. But those deal
ers in the tactical fluid who attempt to
introduce hydrant water-or any kind
of water-directly to the milk, are not
as general thing apt to succeed in
producing an article suited to the taste
of their customers.

The MONUMENT. Every one seems
anxious that the memory of our depart
ed soldiers shall be forgotten, and we
hear of many citizens who are willing
when called upon by the Committee, to
contribute literally toward the erection
of the monument, which is to be de
signed for our city. We hope that the
gentlemen who have been appointed to
solicit and collect subscriptions, will
use their best endeavors, so that the
Union will be enabled to order the mon
ument, and lay the cornerstone by the
4th of July, at the farthest. An adj
iourned meeting will be held at the
Court House this evening, when we
hope to see large attendance. Those
who profess so much respect for the
"patriot dead" will have an opportun-
ity of practically carrying out their pro-
LESSONS.

ELECTRICITY. 1t is supposed, with
much probability, that electricity in
the atmosphere has much to do in pro-
noting the rapid growth OF vege tatioH
1t is well known that current of cleo
tricity passing through an egg. will
perfect the chicken in six or eight days
while the natural development by in
cubation is twenty one days. The effect
too, has been shown in the rapid matu-
rity of plants which have been subject
to constant flow of the electric fluid.
During the season of vegetation, plants
may be benefited by electricity, not
only as conductors to and from the at
mosphere, but possibly also by the for
nation of nitric acid, caused by the
electric spark passing through the air,
which, diluted by the rain, and afford
ed to the roots of the plant, is power
ful aid to vegetative development.

Bes~ The Zouaves have not as yet
embarked for Cuba, but Mr.. L. w.
Pruden, Broad street, has four large
ware-rooms, with the cellar floor, filed
with every description of house-furnish-
ing goods. We had no idea until yes
terday that there was such an extensive
establishment in the State. Mr.. Pru-
den assures us that he has marked his
goods down to the lowest figure, and
that he is selling at very small advance
ON New York prices Those who pat
ronise Mr.. ?. may rely upon getting
the article that is represented. Per-
sons about to sart-not for Cuba, but
housekeeping, will find every article
needed in this establishment, and we
are glad to inform our 4,700 readers
that Mr. Pruden will do all in his pow
er to retain the home-trade, and all he
asks is that our citizens shall call upon
him, examine his goods, and learn his
prices before going out of town. Let
his example be followed by all our
tradesmen.

A few days ago, just at dark, ped
dler, carrying large pack. appeared at
the door of a wealthy farmer at Green
Garden, in this state, and asked to re-
main all night The farmer being away
from home, was informed by the hired
man that he could not stay. He then
reque sted to leave his pack till morn
ing, as he was tired and could not carry
it further that night. This was granted,
and the pack deposited in one corner
of the sitting room. During the even
ing, some of the females of the house
bad occasion to move it, and taking
hold of it discovered that there was
something suspicious about its contents.
The hired man was called, and upon
taking hold of it soon discovered that
it contained man. He quickly step
ped into an adjoining room, and return
ed with revolver, motioned the family
to stand aside, and at once proceeded
to fire three s. OTIS into it. A piercing
shrek issued from it, and on ripping off
the outside covering, man with a
large bowie knife and revolver clench-
ed in his hands, was found weltering in
his blood. Two of the shots had proved
fatal The neighbors were aroused, but
no traces of the peddler could be found.

neapA large wagon, laden with house

yesterdayafternoon, creating good deal
of attention from the fact that the load
was surmounted by beautiful Ameri-

given the fellow chase, and compelled
