A FIGHT UNDER THE Wan ERA curious
case of assault and battery was lately brought
before the police tribunal at Marseilles. 1t APP
pears that diver, engaged in investigating the
wreck of vessel sunk in the port OF that city,
discovered an object of some value, which he
put aside in corner of a rock for future dlspo-
sition. Returning for the last time beneath
the surface he went to secure his prize, but at
that moment two other divers attacked him
and attempted to wrest it from him. A lively
fight ensued, which lasted until the people
above, alarmed at the confusion below, drew
the complaints up to the surface The ARRAY
thus commenced, fifty or sixty feet below the
surface of the sea, was ended at the police sta
ton. 49,.

A METHODIST MINISTER speaking Of the
prominent debaters before the Methodist Gen
eral Conference, the New York Herald says
Foremost among the ministerial debaters
stands the venerable DR.. Henry Sicer, of Baltl-
more, the steadfast friend of DR.. Lanahan, late
an agent of the Book Concern. His shining
and happy face, flowing white hair, and clear,
flute like voice, promptly arrests attention. He
is full of mirtb and humor, which he unspar-
ingly throws into his speeches. But while the
delegates laugh at his wltticisms and applaud
him, they rarely, if, indeed, at ALL vote for the
side that he advocates. The doctor has pass
ed his allotted three-score years and ten, and is
the oldest effective minister in the conference.

FAMILY EvLNrS IN OLD T1NEs.-Our fore
fathers, says an L oglish Magazine, had kuack
of advertising momentuous family events in a
fashion more interesting to the general public
than we do in these degenerate latter DAYS.
Take few of the demises first, as they we're
announced 50 years ago: "April 1871. Mr.
John Middleton, wholesale bodice maker. Re-
puted worth 10000" How much more in
formation is there in this than the bare obitua-
- notice of the present day. Here, again,
under the same date: Mr.. Green, at Wands-
worth Worth 10000" And little further
on we have another of the same: "Relict Of
Mr.. Chambers, pawnbroker, of Blackmoor
street. Worth sl5,0OQ:" We now turn to
the more cheerful chronicles OF the marriages,
about the same date: MIR. Bridges to Miss
Knight, lady Of 100000 fortune" Here,
however, is a still more aristocratic announce
ment: The Id. Petre to Miss Ratcliff,
daughter of the +. of Derwentwater, whose
fortune is said to be $4,000" How the
mouths of unsuccessful suitors must have
watered with vexation in those days, when the
lady's fortune was thus openly confessed before
the world

''Are you happy ~ asked one, ofold
Baron ROthehsild, the money King Of
Europe.
''Happy2 Happy, when you have
to sleep with pistols under your pill
low No, not happy" 81
Mr.. AstOr when congratulated on
his wealth, SAID, "Ah, i must leave it
all when die. It won't buy off sick.
ness it won't buy off sorrow it
won't buy of death"
Each had unlimited wealth, but he
was not happy. l
Many years ago, in the reign Of the
English Georges, there lived u p6or
soldier named William Clemens.
During the winter before tie battle Of
FOntenOy, there Was revival Of re-
ligiOn IN the English Camp at Bru-
yes, ami this poor soldier, away frDmf
his kindred and his native land was
greatly favored with tire peace and
love of God. During the great hattie
his arm was shattered by bail. They
offered to take him away.
"NO," he said, II have an arm let
to hold the sword"
Soon after this bullet broke his
other arm. His friends gathered
around him. What a pitlable sight
He was poor, with the horrors Of the
hospital before him. He was in "A
land of enemies, and the friends shat
he had would leave him soon. No
father or mother, brother or sister
could helL him i'm this hour Of need.
He looked TO Christ.
"HOw fares it with you now, broth
er Clemens ?' asked q piOas soldier.
The wounded soldier lifted his eve
glowing a. with heavenly fire
~ am a. happy as | can be out of
paradise.U

Haste and Health.

It Is not all wholesome to be in o
hurry Locomotives have been Fepor-
ted 10 have moved n mile a minute
for short distances, but locomotives
have often came TO grief by such rap
idity. Multitudes in their haste to get
rich are ruined every year The men
who do think naturally, slowly, ,delib-
erately, are the men who Ufteuest sue-
ceed in life. People who are habitu-
ally in hurry generally have TO do
things twice over. The tortoise beat
the hare at last. Slow men seldom
knock their brains out against q post.
Foot races are injurious to health, as
are all forms of competitive exercise /;
steady labor in the field Is the bestgym-
nasiun in the world. Either EibOr or
exercise, carried to exhaustion OF pros
tratiOn, or even great tiredness, ex-
pressed by tagged out, !" always does
more harm than the previous exercise
has done good. All running upstairs,
or to catch up with vehicle or ferry
boat, are extremely injurious to every
age and sex aud condition Of life. 1t
ought TO be the most pressing necess-
ity which shOnld induce a person over
fifty to run twenty yards Those live
longest who are deliberate, whose ae-
tiOns are measured, who never en-
Dark in any enterprise without "sleep-
ing over it," ana who perform ali
everyday acts Of life with ealmness.
Quakers are pFoverblally calm, quiet
people, aud Quakers are q thrifty folk,
the world Over.-DF. Hall.

Varieties.

Habit is ten times stronger than NJ
ture.-Gdy.
All men, interrogated well, answer
well.-PLGtO.
There is no real life but cheerful
life.-AddiSOR.
He cOnquers grief who takes firm
resOlutiOD.-GCBthe.
For practical life genius is as useful
as a telescope ut theatre.
If God did not exist it would be
necessary to invent one VOLtGjre,
No one breaches better than the ant,
and she says nOthing.-FfdnktiR.
There never was a great man I'M
less through inspiratiOn.-CicerO.
There never was any heart truly
great and gracious that was not also
tender and compassionate South.
The superiority Of some men IS
merely local. They are great because
their associates are little.-JOhIlsOll.
The only vice that cannot be forgot
ten is hypocrisy. The repentance Of a
hypOcrite is itself hypocrisy.-Hdz-
TIT.
never knew any man in my life
who could not bear anOtheT's misfOr-
tunes perfectly like a Christian
Pope.
God has so made the mind Of maI
that a peculiar delieiOusDess reside:

The root Of sanctity is sanity. A

holy. We bathe first and then per

Legal AnecdOIe.

To old Jake s., a J. p. in Dres.
den, Ohio, belongs the honor OF decid'
/ ing u case in favor of both parties.
Some twenty years ago Jake was
elected to the office of Justice of the
Peace, aud in due time he dOcketed
his first case on the fiy-leafOf Dutch
almanac.
One neighbor had sued another for
trespass and damages, and the case
was set for hearing one day in Au-
gust, when the dog star ragged in all
its fury.
Although the amount involved did
not exceed twelve dollars, each party
employed the most eminent counsel
at the GAINESVILLE bar to look after
respective interests; so it came
to pass that on that annealed August
day, Messrs. c. ard C. appear
ed "ferninstn each other in old Jake's
court. Each lawyer came armed
with a stack of law books, embracing
almost every work on law from Black
stone to Walkers American Law. As
they deposited them upon a wooden
table in the center of the room, Squire
Jake eyed them earnestly, and eXeus-
ing himself for a moment, hastened to
the cellar, where he imbibed one or
two quarts Of beer, to brace himself
against the storm of legal lore which
he felt intuitively must come.
Finally the case was called, and Mr..
G., who appeared for the defend
ant, arose and moved for n non-suit,
on the grounds that the title to the
land claimed by the plaintiff upon
which the trespass had been commit
ted was in doubt. Then followed q
three hour discussion of the law pro
and con between the attorneys.
During the progress, Jake broke out
into terrible perspiratiOn, and each
moment became more hOpelessly
muddled as to the real point under
discussion. Finally The lawyers were
overcome by the heat and sat down,
after having marked about five hnnd-
red passages of law each supporting
their views of the case.
Without glancing at them and af-
ter wiping the perspiratiOn from his
massive brow with a coarse linen tow
el, Jake rendered the following deei-
sion:
We'll, Mr.. c., gifts you your
gase.'
But your honor exclaimed Mr..
c., you have not looked at the
law?''
''NOu shust geep shtill, Mr.. c.,
and not git up yur pack dat away. l
gif you your case too, and the con-
shtOpple he bay de gcsts und by tam
1 resign right away quick, shoost so
soon ash L see lettle Sam Cox, down
NIT de GOrt House in Sanesfeele. 1
not sthand dis tam nonsense NIT nine
bushels of law books in de month of
August. Git right away out of here
gwick now. Dis case is ofer, und l
want some peer"
Messrs. G. and c. got fright
up gwick,U and the next day Jake
went down to "Sanesfeele," where he
saw little Sam Cox Is. S. the Deputy
Clerk of the Court and resigned his
remarking, as he hand
ed is his papers:
"Dere be more tam drOubbles NIT
ShOostice of the Beece than he bays
for himselflike doonder. Dem liars
dey shoOst dalk about drOUer und
qOnUerSon und all dem dings vile it is
so hot as never wash, Ond gif you no
chance for peer nor nodings."

A Base Bargain.

'You are no less Democrats because
you have pursued the course you
have, and l am no less Republican
because l accept your nomination"
The above is a portion of the re-
spOnse Greeley made to the Demo-
cratic Committee that notified him of
his nomination at Baltimore. Now
if Greeley has not changed his views,
and is still a Republican, and the
Democrats have not changed their
views, is it not clear to the mind of
every honest man, that the nOmina-
ton of Greeley is q corrupt bargain
and sale? Either party would cheat
the other if they got chance.
If the Republican Presidential Elec-
tors are defeated, the opposition Elec-
tors, all Democrats, will name the
President. They are not likely to
name Horace Greeley, They don't
like him-they are simply using him,
and will sell him out, when the op-
pOrtunity offers. a leading Penn
sylvania Democrat meant something
when he said, in the Baltimore Con-
ventiOn: "The leaders of the DemOc.
raey have an eye to the main chance"
