SHOOTING ARRAY!

DR.. EUGENE NEWTON got into a
difficulty on last Saturday, through
the insolence and provocation Of
one Bill ! White, a negro Of bad
reputation. The latter during the
day, pushed MIR. Newton rudely
from the sidewalk, called him very
hard names, and made it very plain
that be was determined to get up
row. He carried a razor, and
made threats against Eugene, who
hearing the greater part Of them,
repaired to a Jewelry Store and
procured a revolver. In the after
noon the negro passed Newton,
who was standing in front of the
Gait House, and again made one Of
his Low and provoking remarks,
whereupon Newton drew his re-
volver and fired at him. The shot
took no effect. The valiant White
drew himself erect and said, shoot
me here, SIR" at the same time tap
ping his breast. Another shot was
fred, which, unfortunately struck
little boy, named Geo. Merch-
meyer, who was standing near by.
Officer Bartel arrested Newton, and
the negro staggered about town,
Boosting Of his bravery and still
cursing Newton.
Mr.. Newton waived an examina-
ton and gave bonds in the sum Of
900 for his appearance at court
There had been no trouble be-
tween the two previous to Satur-
day, though there seems to be a
general opinion to the contrary.
Both parties had been drinking
and were inebriated at the time of
the shooting.
The lad who became the victim
of Wild shot, was struck in the

fleshy part and striking a sign be-

A YOUNG MANS CAPITAL.
THERE are many young men

THERE are many young men in
this city, who are in the habit Of
excusing their idleness, and inef-
ficiency, with the plea that they
can do nothing without capital =
The lack of means is the ready re-
ply they make to every, appeal 20,
action; they imagine they possess
within themselves all the pre-requ
isites to success, except capital.
If they only had that. in addition
to their other imagined virtues.
they would do great things in the
world-they would as'onish the
natives with the boldress and bril-
liancy of their enterprises They
would grow immensely rich. and
then lay the world under perpetual
obligations OF gratitude by the
magniicence of their benefac,ions.
This is the way they think and
talk, and they roll the vain-glori-
GUS idea over in their idle minds,
until they come to imagine that the
world is al immense loser by their
poverty.
These persons forget one i,npor
tant tact; that sll capital is TIE
product Of labor; That nearly all
the rich men in this country were
once poor; that nearly every per-
sonal fortune they can enumeratc,
is eli. her the product of the owners
toll and skill, OF the represents
tive Of his fathers toll aud skill.
How did the makers of these for
tunes manage to get along without
capitala Had they spent The vigor
of their youth in idle aud foolish
lam entations over their poverty,
they would have lived and died
poor, and left nothing but an in
heritance Of honesty behind them.
Capital allied to. labor and skill
can work wonders in the way Of
material enterprises and the m an
who possesses money finds it easy
to make money. But capital is
not indispensable to young men of
the right stuff, for all this. There
are other kinds OF capital besides
accumulated money; brains, mus
Gle, industry, honesty. diligence,
truth, fidelity, skill, tact, education
all these are capital-all Of them
have commercial value, which the
owner will be able, sooner or later,
to command in the market. Pro-
vided With these. any young man
in the country, may make more
than he needs to spend every year.
and then have something, at the
end Of the year, to invest as money
capital.
If you need money, 60 10 work
and make it, and then give proof
Of your ability to use it profitably
and judiciously.
With scarce single exception,
the capitalists Of Richmond are
men who made their money with
no outside aid They did not
waste their time in repining at
their poverty, ard in silly dreams
of what they could do ii they only
had money to do it with. They
went bolily and resolutely to work;
they toilcd and thought, AMI plan
ned, and kept on toiling, thinking
and planning, until their rugged
hand grasped the fortunes that
others envy.
In nine cases out Of ten, the man
who will '.1s work for the capital
ne ,mags0es he needs, would not
/ know what to do with it il he had
