How SOME OF OUR MERCHANTS HAVE

firm in New York city advertised for

with applicants, among them queer
looking little fellow, accompanied by Il
woman, who proved TO be his aunt, in
lieu of faitllcsS parents, by whom he had
been abandoncl. Looking at this little
wait the merchant i'll Tie store promptly
said: Cant take linn places all full :;
besides, he is too small 81 know he
is small" said the woman, "but he Is
willin. and faithful" There was Il
twinkle in III, boys eyes which made
the merchant think again. y partner
in the firm volunteered to remark that
he .',lid not see what they wanted OF
such boyle wasn't bigger than Il
pint Of cider" Bu! after consultation
the boy was set to work. \ few days
later Il call was made on the boys i'll the
store for some one TO stay all night. The
pronp; response of the little fellow con-

A BRAVE GIEi--'rhc Hartford Times
relates the following: The Pennington
stage, Levi Rislcy, driver, came i'll this
morning, and II usual stopped for mo-
mcnL near the depot. On the top were
three young ladies from Mis-. Porter's lc-
male seminary in that place, and the in
,ilc OF the STAGE was full. The sudden
appearance OF Il switch engine Out of the
depot frightened the horses, ana they
started upon Il run up Railroad square,
turning into Church street. Every one
who SAW the start thought there would

aSionishcd by seeing thu sta@e coming
slowly back, driven hy one of the girls

for in matters of greater Importance the
posscssor of such loose ideas of honesty
would most likely give way. With much
good advice the youth was sent home TO
his father, with letter from the MGR,
chant relating the affair stated abovc,and
expressing regret that the circumstance
had completely shut the boy out from his
confidence. SO the young man lost an
excellent chance OF succeeding in life, and
it is hoped that the lesson may teach him

The following is copied from the jackson
Pilot:
We learn from Messrs. G, w. Cochran
and l.. Trager, the president and treasurer
of the Meridian, Red river and Texas rail-
road, that, at recent informal meeting
held III Meridian on the fifteenth instant, q
report was made to the board that the early
completion of the road rested entirely with
the counties through which the line is pro-
posed TO pass. Parties in New York have
been recently conferred with. who agree to
build the road within eighteen months
time, provided the funds now intended to
be subscribed by the different counties shall
be thus In fact subscribed, the contracting
parties to take security upon the road for
the remainder of their expenditure. We
are authorized to state that these contrac-
tors have the money ready, beyond doubt,
and are men who will do what thew agree
to do. Thus the whole matter now rests
with the counties and the people of the
State of Mississippi. The engineer corps
will be put in the field next month to
definitely locate the line. Another meeting
OF the board of directors of the Meridian,
Red River and Texas railroad will take
place on Tuesday, the twenty first proximo,
at the Ragsdale House, in Meridian.

GROVER & BAKER SEWING MACHINE
II anything more was wanting in the way
of evidence to prove that the above named
celebrated sewing machines were worthy
of the extraordinary high reputation they
enjoy, the testimonial which we publish this
morning should suffice in all conscience.
Here is q lady who, perhaps, has had, in
her experience, a better opportunity to
form a correct Judgment as to the merits of
the different sewing machines than almost
any other one person in the whole South
west-a lady whose veracity is like Holy
Writ, and who can possibly have no pur-
pose to serve, gives decided preference to
the Grover & Baker machine-in fact,
most unequivocal Endorsement. 1t has the
appearance of settling the question forever,
and we congratulate the popular agent,
Mr.. Gardner, upon it. o..

New ORLEANS BUILDING ASSOCIATION
We bespeak a careful perusal for the adver-
tisement of this association, which will be
found in our issue of this morning No more
worthy enterprise could be desired than
this building association, as it offers to the
poor working man the easy means to be-
come the possesser OF his own house and
enables him at the same time to be the bene-
factor OF others as deserving as himself
Wherever building associations have been
organized on wise principles, such as this
one, they have proved of immense advan-
tage to their subscribers, and we are eredita-
bly, informed. that in Charleston, South
Carolina, and Baltimore, Maryland, many
very wealthy men owe their first start in
life to them. Ours, we are satisfied. will 90

COREA.
ReD0rt of the Eiahf,

NEW YORK, August 22.-The mails bring
details of the second fight in Corea
1t appears that on the morning of June
10 the expedition started from the feet. II
consisted of nine hundred men, of which
seven hundred, including one hundred and
five marines, were to operate on land-four
hundred and TWENTY-FIVE from the Colo
RADIO and one hundred and twenty-five each
from the Alaska and Benicia-all the crews
OF the MOnocacy and Palos being required
to work the guns on board.
The Monocacy took the lead followed bv
the Palos, with all the smaller boats in tow
except the steam launches. The main OBJ
ject of the attack is built on TOP of a small
conical hill, on tongue of land that pro-
jects from the right and west bank of the
river, and extending out into the water
about half mile. Its average width, from
north to south is about four hundred wards
The river makes sharp bend around the
points OF this peninsula, and during the
rise and fall of the tide the water rushes
past 1t with fearful rapidity. About three
hundred yards from the extreme point of
this small conical hill rises about three
hundred feet high. The Coreans have for
titled this in such q manner that, looking
from the water, the walls of the fort appear
but a continuation of the extension up
ward of the steep sides, only approach
ing more nearly to perpendicular,
the sides of the hill forming an angle OF
about forty-five or fifty degrees with the
horizon, and the fort so built on top as to
occ'1py a whole level space of about eighty
feet in diameter, leaving no level ground.
Outside of the parapet wall the ground be-
tween this and the waters edge is very
rough, steep and rocky, and difficult for
military operations. The Coreans had a
water battery of twenty-four and thirty
two-pounders and small old brass piece.

deputy marshals sworn in would have beer
sufficient Why don't Packard in his caro-
tell us about his two hundred deputy mar
shals? He knows that the fact that he had
such host mustered at the Customhouse
exposes his whole tissue of falsehoods. The
truth is, the call for the convention was a
trick. The appointment that it should be
held in the Customhouse was trick and a
scandal The giving out of tickets at the
money order department of the postotfice
was atrick. The closing of all the doors of
the Custolnhouse but one obstructing the
public business, was trick.
The refusal to allow WarmOth's friends to
enter the room appointed for the meeting
until after tedious and purposely provoking
examination of credentials was a trick and
an outrage. The presence of three com
panies of the Nineteenth Infantry, with
two Gatlin guns, was a menace, and as
black an outrage as was ever committed
anywhere.
From the Cincinnati Commercial, August IS
The Tribune rejoices over the Presidents
prompt reputation of the doings.o of his New
Orleans subOrdinates, and the report that
be will turn them out of office. We trust.
for the sake of common d0cency, that the
report that the President will turn out of
office those responsible for the outrage is
we'll founded. Nothing less can remove the
responsibility from his own shoulders The
CustOmhouse crowd assumed that they
were the Presidents party; that tney were
vindicating his candidacy for reelection,
and defending him from open and secret
enemies. A little confused, perhaps, as to
the distinctions between the evil and mill
tary service, they called in the bayonets and
Gatlin guns'to fight the battles OF the Presi-
dent. They considered themselves the
champions of his cause. Indeed, they as
sumed to be acting according to his wishes.
Brother-in-law Casey was fresh from Long
Branch, and he ought TO have known the
mind of the commander-in- of the
army and navy about the affairs of Louisi-
ana. Now, if BrOther-in-law Casey and
the rest were mistaken; if they are not the
Presidents party; if they are merely a lot
of irresponsible and intermeddhBg sc0un-
drels who have been using the name or our
glorious chief magistrate to cover their own
netarious and stupid designs; if the Presi-
dent, instead of approving and admiring
their cause, regards it with amazement as
a personal dishonOr and public humilia-
tion--then they must suffer decapitation
for their ignorance. Brother-in-law Casey's
head is the first that should fly. There is
no hope for him if he has reported his Illus
trious relative falsely to the confding
patriots of the Crescent City. 1t may give
the President terrible pang to strike off
the solemn head Of a sacred brother-in-
lew: but we shall await with eager in
terest the quick development of his Roman
virtue
