A Talk 70 NInfhArs

Inc heading OF this chapter might
create a smile, but it need not;
see and hear very well! There can
be no disputing the fact that "the
manners Of the mother mould the
child" There is a mother and a
boy-a rollicking, jolly little fellow
II have in my eye, not a thousand
miles away, as I write that brought
about this talk. She loves her boy,
no doubt; all mothers do. She
would not have him harmed for the
world; and yet, how she tries this
poor child. She scolds every time
she speaks to him. She threatens
him with everything within an inch
of his life. She torrents, harnesses
and vexes him, all to make him
good boy-to keep him out of mis-
chief Now, she is going to box
his ears; now, to thrash him; now,
to take his head of. Then, again.
she is going to cowhide him, then
beat him, then skin him alive! He
is always in the way, and never
there when wanted
If there is one saint that ought
to stand higher than another, it is a
dear, sweet-tempered mother. She
has so much to try her! Worn and
weary, she must answer every call,
have an eye to every danger, a hand
to every want. an ear to every com
plant; sick or well, she must bear
all, and be all things to all the
household. until she goes hence to
gather the 'unfadimg amaranth and
asphodel by the river of life" Yet,
mother, for your sake, for your
child's sake, we would beg you to
refrain from scolding and fretting,
and try the magic of pleasant
words, a smile, a love-pat, a kiss
His little insect griefs are as hard
for him to bear as your griefs are
for you, and he needs tenderness,
irmness and sympathy to make
him a good boy.
Try it. Pleasant words are more
e6eetua1 ones than snarling ones,
such as unruly brat, rascally scapc-
grace, good-for- nothing scamp! If
your boy should ever read the bible
the passage, "Honor thy father and
mother" he viii look down in his
heart and ask for what? 1 once
saw youth in the work-house on
BlackwelFs Island with such a pain
full and startled expression asked
permission to speak with him. His
parents were wealthy and he was
wilful and had been sent there and
clothed in the prison-garb to morti-
fy him and break him of habit
that. with irmness and sympathy
from his fashionable mother, might
have been overcome and he saved
from a disgrace. He did not be-
lieve IN any ofthe stories about q
mothers lore. but that they delight
ed in tormenting and were Inerci-
less. Poor boy! I pitied him, and
I pitied his mother, because she
had not cared for the holy nature
Of her trust. Her boy, whom God
had given her to train for Him, had
been made bitter to the hearts core.
and that bitterness viii find vent

EDITOR CrT1zEN Seeing in al
most every issue of your excellent
paper communications from differ
ent portions Of our county, I am in
clined to believe that Prospect and
Poplar Hill are entitled to some de-
gree of notice. Prospect is a thriv-
ing little village on the n. & D. R.
R., and makes up in location, good
morals and excellent citizens its
want of size and the magnitude Of
population. It has two stores, do
ing a good business, under the ex-
cellent management of AIessrs. Nc
LAURINE and Messrs. j. r. L w.
WHITFIELD. The senior partner Of
the latter firm, whom we old fellows
familially call WILLS" is gifted
with talking powers sufficient TO at
tract any amount of custom, while
his son, the junior, comes in on the
home stretch and sells the goods.
We have two fiourishing groceries
that deal out edibles and drinka-
bles, three doctors who understand
the use of physic, three shoemakers
who are constantly pegging away
but show no signs of peggiug oat,
two blacksmith shops, one wagon
shop, an excellent school that best
of all features except a church, and
q dourishing Sunday-schooI, under
excellent management.
Poplar Hill, whose name is sug-
gestive Of the timber thereabouts,
is d mics east of Prospect near
the mouth of Richland creek, on
Elk River. It's finest feature is the
excellent school, conducted by Mr..
JEo. MEADOWS, a thoroughly CON-
petent teacher, whose heart is en-
listed in his work. Mr.. MEADOWS
has frequent exhibitions, to which
his patrons are invited, and at the
close Of the session in the latter
part Of August he expects to make
a fine display of the proficiency of
his pupils. The land is very good
around Poplar Hill and the farmers
are entirely welded to cotton grow
ing, paying no attention to clover
or grasses. The tone Of society is
extremely moral and the citizens
cultivate the most pleasant relations
in their social intercourse. We
have preaching on the first Sabbath
in each month by Rev B. B. Bass,
Of the Missionary Baptist denomi-
nation, and we also have a thriving
Sabaath-school, numbering thirty
nine members, under the superin-
tendency Of Mr.. JNe. MEADOWS, as
sisted by an able corps Of teachers,
who do their whole duty. o. 3.

France-The Bloody "Wednesday

France-The Bloody Wednesday.
Wednesday, oath inst, was a day
Of horrors for the people in Paris.
Civil war added then another chap
ter to che already disastrous pages
Of French history. We give the re-
cords of that bloody day in the Ian
guage Of the Tribune's correspond
ent:-
Many houses are filed with the
dead and wounded of both sides
The fighting was very severe about
the Hotel de Vile, which is blazing
with petroleum. The British En-
bassy building is much damaged
The Once of the Archives is burn
ed. The Place de Ia Concorde is
terribly injured. No quarter is
given. The Versaillists behave
well to the inhabitants. The fire
Is raging in nearly every street
There is heavy bombardment of
Paris from the barricade on the top
Of Rue Fayette. The capture of
the Place Vendome made the Tuii-
leries untenable, and the insurgents
saturated it with petroleum and set
it on FIRE. The insurgents are still
fighting like iends. In the eastern
Faubourgs the population seem
mad with joy and the tri-colo
waves everywhere. The streets
are quiet and the Versailles troops
are orderly. The hunt for the Com
mnne leaders has begun and the pc.
lice are searching houses, rooms
and cellars.
Paris is enveloped in a dense pail
az smoke and is terribly damaged.
The streets are smeared with blood
and Uttered with debris. The Aus
TRAN Embassy and the property of
the Empress Eugene were also
burned. Departure from Paris is
impossible and circulation through
the city is difficult and dangerous.

SUPPOSED FIRE Bug CAPTURED.-A
queer-looking, little, dried up specimen
Of an old man, was arrested yesterday
morning about two o'clock on suspicion
OF being fire bug and locked up in the
calaboose. He had in his possession
wrapped up in a paper, a lot Of old
rags, bits of painted tin, old leather,
goose feathers, sticks and like trash,
such bundle as "Crazy Jimmy used
to carry. When stopped by the
Waterman he refused to speak in an
swer to the question who he was ard
what he was doing out at that hour.
We saw him in cell at the calaboose
yesterday morning, and are Of the opin-
ion that he is a harmless lunatic whose
happiness consists in gathering and
carrying with him trash OF all kinds.
He doesn't look Ikea very dangerous
sample Of the genus fire-bug. r The
Waterman, though, performed his duty
in arresting him, as he would auyother
stranger. who refused, at such an hour,
to tell his business on the streets, and
we commend him for it.

THEATRE To-NIGHT.-The advent OF
Sherry's New York Theatre, at Wash
irgton Hall, tonight, is looked for by
our theatre going citizens with consid,
cradle interest. The play, Rip Van
Wrinkle, is one that has not been "played
out" here, and it will, in addition to its
own merits, possess the attraction OF
novelty. Founded on Washington IT.
wings story of Rip Van Wrinkle, Mr.
Bourcicault has adhered, in all the in
cidents, strictly to his original, while he
has thrown in such adjuncts as were
necessary to the dramatic action of the
story. The result is a drama of absorb
ing interest. The character Of Rip, the
careless, lazy, goed-hearted vagabond,
is in the care OF Mr. j. w. Gamer, who
is said to be immense in it, Gretchen,
the busy, scolding, shrewish wife Of Rip,
will be played BY Miss Virginia How
ard, who has a high place as an actress.
We hope to see the hall well filled to,
night.

conveniences necessary to a first class

JEWISH PASSOVER. - The Passover
season commences with our Israelitish
citizens on tomorrow evening, and con-
tinues on through the week, the 9th
and It'll being called the first days
Of the Passover, the Stb, 9th, 10th, and
llth the middle days, and the 18th and
18th the last days. This is celebrated in
commemoration OF the great event mar
rated in the Bible, when the Destroying
Angel passed over Egypt during the
bondage of the Israelites and smote all
the first born, from the first born of
Pharaoh to the first born of the beasts;
but sparing the first born Of all those
who had complied with the order of the
Almighty in striking their door posts
with bloody hyssop. No leaven bread
is allowed in the household during the
continuance of this season, and religious
services are held daily. The season ends
on the evening Of Thursday, the 18th OF
April.

The MARKET STREET BRlDGE.-lt
would seem as though everything with
which the city has anything to do is
permitted to drag along at snail-like
pace that is sickening. Last fall the
contract was given to the Norway Iron
Works to build an iron bridge over
Wheeling creek at the foot OF Market
street. The contractors stipulated that
the structure should be npin sixty days.
A. C. Quarter was surety for the faith
full performance Of the contract. We
have forgotten how much money was
paid on the contract-some $4,000 or
$4,000, we believe.
The bridge isn't up yet, thong h
thrice sixty days have passed since the
contract was entered into. As TO the
time Of its completion we would not
like to give an opinion. 1t may possibly
be in time for the celebration of the
wear 1900, but in order to do that even,
the present rate Of progress will have
to be increased about five hundred per
cent. We calmly and deliberately is
sue this conundrum to the committee
on Market street bridge, committee on
Contracts or any other person who can
answer il: When will the Market
street bridge be completed?

young man named Jones, on Water

Pittsburgh, of $1,000 and ran off with
it. The uncle followed him to this city
and caused his capture. He had spent
about S25 of the money. The remainder
was found on his person. Processing
great sorrow for his act he went home
to the Smokey City with his relative on
the early train over the C. & P. railroad.

CARRYING UMBRELLAs-Some people
have a very awkward way of toting

This happened near the Postoffice.
Either keep the point of your umbrella
on the ground or sufficiently elevated
to raise it above peoples heads.

\ BRIEF REsPITE.-We are more
than ever satisfied that lobe Vance is

lie has no equal anywhere as a bum
mer. Yesterday morning he finished
his term as student Of geology, left
the chain-gang, got out on the streets
again for the first time in thirty days,
got blind drunk, got free ride to the
calaboose, and this morning will get
thirty days more on the Changing.
We are of the opinion that if the city
had a workhouse where such chaps as
lobe could be made to work constantly
it would do more to reform him than
ten thousand chain-gangs.
