AS the time for burning coal has
come, and most people want to
economic as much as possible, the
advice of the London Spectator
might be of some practical benefit:
The most practical suggestion yet
made toward economy OF coal seems
to be the use of solid bottoms in or
dinary fire CRATES. It's proved that
in any eplace not excessively

the CRATE viii halve the coEsump-

THE RAIN CONCERT.
Millions Of tiny raindrops
Are falling an arnund.

Millions Of tiny raindrops
Are falling all around,
They're dancing on the housetops,
They are hiding in the ground.
They are fairy-like musicians,
With anything for ke- $,
Beating time upon the windows,
Keeping time upon the trees.
A light and airy treble
They play epon the stream,
And the melody enehants us
Like the music OF a dream.
The deeper bass is sounding
When they're dropping into caves.
With teROr from the zephyrs,
And an alto from the waves.
Oh. tits a shower of music,
And Robin don't intrude,
Ifwhen the rain is weary
He drops an interlude.
1t seems as if the warbling
OF the birds in all the bowers
Had been gathered into raiudrops
And was coming down in showers.
The blossoms all are bathing
In the liquid melodies,
Breathing thanks in sweetest Odors,
Looking up into the skies.

The Building Of Character.

AhO Va NAAeA eAN+NAa
There is not Il thought that is not
striking a blow; there is not an i'm
pulse that is not doing mason
work; there is not a passion thrust
this way or that, that is not a work
mans thrust. The imagination in
all directions is building. You
think you are throwing out the net
for game: you think that you are
laying cut plans for your accom-
plishment: but behind all the con
scious work that is going on within
you-behind your visible attach
ments-there is another work go
ing On. There are as many master
workmen in you as there are sepa-
rate faculties; and there are as many
blows being struck as there are sep
arate acts Of emotion or yOlitioP
And this work is going on perpetu-
ally Every single day these myri-
ad forces are building, building,
building. Here is a great structure
going up, point by point, story by
story, although You are not con-
scious of it. It is a building Of
character. It is a building that
must stand, and the word Of inspi-
ration warns sou to take heed how
you build it to see to it that you
have q foundation that shall eniure;
to make sure that you are building
upon it, not for the hour in which
you live, but for that hour of reve-
lation, when you shall be seen just
as you are.

Gibbons himself who had hired him.
In few days the inhabitants of
that village we're astonished by the
appearance of a splendid new bar
ber's shop, far surprising the other
in elegance of appointments, and in
which, with new mugs, soaps, ra-
zOrs, and perfumes, stood q barber
and assistant ready to do duty on
the heads and boards of the people.
Over the door was inscribed, "Wil
liam Harrington, Shaving and Hair
Dressing Saloon"
The people were not long acer-
tanning or slow in availing them
selves Of the privileges of this estab-
lishment, and it is not to be wonder
ed that it was crow led and the
other deserted. The other held out
some weeks, snspecJing this free
shaving-for Bill kept his secret
well-Was but dodge to entice Gus
toners away, who would soon be
charged as usual; but when at the
end Of six weeks he found Billy
working away as usual, charging
not cent for his labor, and having
money to spend into the bargai
came to the conclusion that he
have drawn a prize in the lottei !, of
stumbled upon a gold mine, and was
keeping a BARRIERS shop for fun, so
he closed his shop in despair, and
left the place.
Meantime, "Bill Huntington" kept
on busy as a bee, and one fine morn
ing his employer stepped in, and,
without a word, sat down, and was
shaved; on rising from his chair he
as ed to see the score for the six
months past. The barber exhibited
it, and after a careful calculation, the
old man said:
"Plenty of customers. eh?'
'Lots of 'em," said the barber;
''never did such business in my
liter
"Well,' replied Money Bags. "you
have kept the account well. 1 see
I've paid you one hundred and TWEEN
ty dollars for services,-all right
and there are three hundred and
thirty charged for shaving all tt at
applied; now, this furniture cost one
hundred and eight dollars; balance
due you one hundred and two dol
lars. Here it is. Now you own
this furniture, and are to have tins
shop rent free six months longer,
after to-day you are to charge the
regular price for work, for your pay
from me stops to-day"
This of course the barber gladly
assented to.
"But," said the old man, on leav-
ing, ''talle care you never cheat a
man by charging ten times the usual
price for shave; for it may be an
other old Billy Gibbons."'

An INFURIArEp NEGRO ATTEMPTS To
MURDER HIS WIFE WITH A CLUB
James Thompson, colored. alias Gus.
Lee, got into a serious scrspe Saturday
night, which nearly resulted in the
killing Of a woman supposed to be his
wife. Gus. is well known in this city
as q wreckless man, and when in
liquor, very dangerous. Four. or five
weeks ago he and his wife, who readily
passes for a white woman, had
q quarrel and separated; Gus. retain,
ing the floating palace On the river,
and she going to the Anderson House
to cook. 1t appears that the separa.
ton on the part Of Gus. was not de.
sirable. He threatened to kill her il
she did not return home, but no atten-
ton being paid to the threat he re-
paired to the Anderson House Satur-
day night, between seven and eight
o'clock and knocked at the kitchen
door. His vile opened the door, when,
without speaking, he dealt her q power.
full blow on the head with q large club
with which he was armed. The
woman was knocked down, and the in-
furiated negro made his escape, no
doubt thinking that he had killed her.
The deed created considerable excite
msnt in the neighborhood, and as soon
as possible q physician, DR.. Moffat,
was dispatched for and examined the
injured woman. The blow, which was
sufficiently hard to have crushed her
head, produced . serious scalp wound
without fiacturing the scull. Gus. is
still at large.-StoG6enviHs Herald.

THE MAxoN ECCENTRIC LIFTING JACK.
We consider this jack the simplest,
most scientific and reliable Of any ever
invented. 1t is made of various sizes
for stump pulling, house raising, fol
locomotive lifting, for farm use and in
fact for any use an instrument of great
power may be needed. 1t is certainly
without a superior. Every farmer
should have one, and we advise them
when they visit the city to call on
George w. Maxon, agent for Wes'
Virginia at Chas. H. Berry's store, No.
IS and 10 Water street, and see it fol
themselves. The greatest objection to
the general class of lifting jacks is the
danger experienced from slipping and
letting down any weight. With this
jack this is obviated, as it is impossible
to slip, but can be lowered with the
greatest possible ease and safety.

POLICE CoURr.-There was q, lively
gathering before Judge Good yester-
day. ss-
Kate Croxton lives in q retired, but
not secluded manner on the alley, be-
tween Jacob and Eoff streets. Unlike
most ladies Mrs. Kate has no regular
hours for receiving company. Gentle
men are admitted at any time. She is
not as particular, either about their
behaviour as the strict rules of pro-
priety would seem to require. At least
thus sayeth the neighbors. On Sun
day night, very many complaints hav.
ing been made to the police against
Mrs. Croxton's way Of managing her
chateau, 9 descent on her premises was
organized and the madame and James
Dugan were pulled" $40 and costs
was her fine for keeping and S. and
costs bis for frequenting the house.
Chris. Cline was picked up on Mar.
ket street on Monday night badly de.
moralized. Too much beDzine had
made Chris weak. In fact he couldn't
walk. He was loaded on a wheelbar.
row and conveyed to the station house
in style. He was fined 81 and costs or
ten days.
John Long was arrested for personal
abuse of Mrs. Rachael NJ. Cannon.
The whole affair grew ont of quarrel
between two children owned by the
parties respectively. Though John
seems to be no SLOUGH with bis tongue,
the lady came out little ahead in the
war of words, az was to be expected.
But John having commenced the Skin
mish was fined 81 and costs.
Adam Glassner charged Captain Ed.
Hornbrook with having assaulted him
on Monday. The evidence showed that
Glassner went on board of Hornbrook' =
new boat where the latter was at work,
and annoyed him until he ordered
Adam ashore. The latter refused TO

him off OF the boat Adam got the blow
he complained Of. The Judge held
that Capt. HorDbrook had the right TO
use the necessary amount Of force to
compel Glassner to leave the boat, but
had no right to strike him. Hornbrook
was fined 81 and costs, just the price Of
plain drunk.
The charge against William Carney,
of disorderly conduct was withdrawn on
Williams paying the costs.
