FRoM the Central Baptist, St. Louis "a
few days since q friend handed US a few
packages of DIR. Prices Cream Baking Pow
der, with a request to "sry it," We tried it,
aud found it superb. We gave small pack
ages to few friends, aud they all came
back to US for more. As We were not pre-
pared, however, to abandon the couduct Of
the CeH.rdl to go into the Baking Powder
business, we were obliged to turn them
away disappointed. For their qualification,
however, and that of the general public We
will say shAs this inimitable Powder can be

city, and at Wholesale of Thompson, Steele

A Young Woman Assaulted by Rnnaus-
One Of Her Legs Fractured in Two PiacesI

A Young Woman Assaulted by RnHnaus-
One Of Her Legs fractured in Two PlacesI
At about seven O'Clock last evening the screams
OF woman in distress were heard IN Water street,
near Grand, Williamsburg and several citizens i'm
medlately hurried TO the scene. On arriving near
the old distillery they found young woman lying
on the sidewalk groaning with pain and In q help
less condition, They removed her to q residence
near by and notified the police, who conveyed
her to the Fourth street station house. On
reaching there she said that her name was Susan
Southland; that she belonged to Isllp. L. l., ana that
she was assaulted where she was found by man.
whose name she did not know. because she refused
TO enter an nnoccupIed building with him. There
was young woman in her company when the
assault was committed, but she became alarmed
and ran away
The injured young woman was attended at the
station house by DIR. Samuel Brady who found that
her right leg was fractured in two places Just
above The ankle. The sufferer says that tho
fracture was caused 10y the rufian who assaied
ner getting her the steps OF the Old distilery and
then telling her TO the sidewalk with blow, be-
cause she refused TO enter 1t and called for help
Miss Southard was sent to the City Hospital by the
police. Just previous to the outrage she had called
at the residence OF Mrs. Moran, near by. for some
washing which she had let there on Monday last
When she left the washing she was accompanied by
young man whom she said was her husband, and
that ne was negro minstrel by profession.
Further than this nothing is known OF her. She is
a young woman OF prepossessng appearance.

Advice to Girls.

Girls, beware Of transient young
men. Never suffer the address of a
stranger. Recollect that one good
young farmer, or q smart young
mechanic, is worth all the floating
fobs in the world. The allurements
of q dandy Jack, with q gaudy
chain dangling from his fob, walk
ing stick in his paw, three penny
cigar in his mouth, some honest
tailors coat on his back, and a
brainless thought fancy skull en-.
cased in preponderous hat, never
can make up the loss of a good
fathers homo, a good, mothers
counsel, and the society of brothers
and sisters-their affection lasts,
while that of such young man is
lost in the wane of honeymoon
Heed always the advice and counsel
of your parents it may seem unjust
but disobey, and you will doubtless
live to regret it.

The New York Herald, re-
ferring to the the so called
Fourteenth and Fifteenth
Amendments, says:
"From General Grants
course on the Ku Klux ques-
tion, it is evident that he in
tends to force fight upon these
two amendments, so obnoxious
to the Democracy of the South,
and never recognized by the
Democracy of the North
But it makes no sort of diff.
ference what Grant forces the
fight upon, if the Democratic
party makes a square issue
against him, with a statesman
and a true Democrat for a
nominee, he will be the worst
beaten wretch who ever rap
for an Office. So many of the
most intelligent and respectable
members of the Mongrel party
hate and despise him that the
campaign will be dead before
it starts. And Grant will 90

Seasoning of Wood.

A writer in an English journ-
al informs us that small pieces
of non-resinous wood can be
seasoned perfectly by boiling
four or five hours-the process
taking the sap out of the wood,
which shrinks nearly one-tenth
in the operation. The same
writer states that trees felled
in full leaf, in June or July,
and allowed to lie until every
leaf has fallen, will then be
nearly dry, as the leaves will
not drop of themselves until
they have drawn up and ex-
hausted all the sap Of the tree.
The time required is from a
month to six weeks, according
to the dryness or wetness of
the weather. The floor of a
mill laid with poplar so treat
ed, and cut up and put inplace
in less than a month after the
leaves fell, has never shown the
slightest shrinkage. :.
