THE RIGHT HAND.-Are we "right>
handed as the result of education or for
some other reasony A writer in Once a
Week thinks nature dictates the habit. He
says: 1t universally goes far to prove that
it is instructive; for among existing nations
none seem 10 be gifted as were the Beuja,
mites of old. The left arm is the weaker,
but whether naturally or only .from dsuse
ronsins 20 be ~eeer.aiuva. IL wvuld uppuaU
that the difference of strength extends to
the organs of locomotiou. When we meet
an obstacle in walking, it is easier to turn
to the right than to the left, as if the right
leg had the mos tpower and freedom Of mo-
tion aud it is said that if man lose himself
on a plain, without any guide or landmarks,
he will in his efforts to 60 straightforwards,
invariably bear to the left, the dexter limb
imprcceptiby taking longer strides. Even
leftIhanded man uses his right manual for
many purposes; and right.handed mortal
has to train hard to become ambidextrous.
Only one suggestion can we afford to account
for the general right handedness it is that
nature has designedly kept the working arm
away from the heart, that the violent actions
of the one may affect as little as possible the
delicate functions of the other.

ATTEMPTED RoBBERY.--On New
Years night the dry goods store OF
David Levi, corner of Main and Web
sler streets, Centre Wheeling, was bro

the robbers prevented their carrying of
any booty. An entrance was effected by
boring ont panel OF a door in the rear
The noise made in the operation at

adjoining residence. The alarm was
Immediately given, but before any one
arrived, the robbers had got inside and
scattered the goods about on the coun-
ters and floor. There is no doubt that
they were preparing to make large
haul, but they were disturbed at an
inopportune moment for them. No
clue has been discovered 10 the parties.

New YEARS DAY.-There was a
pretty general suspension OF business
in the city on New Years day. The
weather was not rs favorable for out
door festivities as ON Christmas, yet
large numbers were on the streets and
seemed TO enjoy themselves muchly'
We heard of II few personal encounters,
yet in our police report of Saturday
mornings proceedings does not indicate
that much notice was taken of such tritl-
ing:matters. In the main, the city was
remarkably quiet and orderly, at least
we did not witness any riOtOus pro-
ceedinSs on tho streets, nor did we hear
OF any extensive breaches of the peace.
The holidays are now over, aud every
body We presume will buckle on the
armor for renewal of the conflict with
his daily duties until their recurrence

CONCERT AND TABLEAUX.-The con-
cert and tableaux presented on Ne"
Years evening by one of the classes IN
the Lutheran Mission Sabbath school,
was a creditable affair. The attendance
was not what we expected to see' Out
the weather was very unfaVoraDle'
Taking everything into consideration
we do not think that the young tolks
who were candidates for public favor
on the occasion, had any cause 10 De
discouraged so far as numbers were con-
cerned.
We wish we could affirm that the or
der was good. Regard for the truth
compels US to say that such outrageous
conduct was never witnessed in Wash
ington Hall, and we question il Five
Points, in New York, were ever the
scene of such proceedings on similar
occasion. The price of admission had
been fixed at such a price that these
Young Five Pointers could command
the sum with little difficulty, and they
were out in considerable force. There
were many present who did conducl
themselves Win proper OAACA "HN ASSO
rum, and we doubt not they felt morll'
fed and chagrined that we have such
an element in our midst as was brought
to light that evening. We should think
about forty or fifty young scalawa8s
were present, and they made the Hal
very Pandemonium itself for the time
being. Had not Officer Forsyth aP
peared on the scene, we don't know bu'
the affair would have been broken up
After his appearance the order was dc
cidedIy better, and he is entitled to the
thanks of those who went there TO listen
for his efforts in their behalf.
This matter has become one OF grave
importance, and it behOOvcs those who
feel an interest in the reputation i'll onl
city to put stop to such dlsgraceIu
proceedings. If persons cannot go tC
the Hall on such occasions and behave
themselves, they had better stay away

mated to Us; and the sooner an ehectua
estoppel is put on such rowdylsm "hC
outrageous conduct as washington

the better will it be for the good name
