"A frightful event has just taken place in
Arkansas, illustrating the power which belief
as old and rs childish as that in witchcraft may
still exert, and suggests an argument of some
weight in favor of compulsory education. 1t
appears that negro Of Little Rock, named
Francis, deliberately shot and killed another
man of the same race named Vaughan, for, as
the murderer alleges, bewitching him. Fran
els saws Vaughan was regular tObi-man," in
full power; that he poisoned his hand 80 that
it was always cold; that he had charmed"
many persons of both sexes who had the mis-
fortune to offend him; and that he had shot
him for trying to throw men into spells, and
enchanting various women. ~ don't feel sorry
for shooting him." added Francis, frankly, "for
| didn't want him deviling round any longer,
and he ought to have been killed long ago."
On this persuasion the man walked quietly up
to within five feet of his victim and blew his
brains out with Colts revolver.
-Itis fact worthy of remark that when
General Morgan, of Ohio, presented his consti-
tutional amendment to the House, making ma
turalized citizens eligible to the Presidency, all
the colored members voted against it. 1t is
curious feature of our Government, at the pres
ent time, that q negro is eligible to the highest
Office, while the most intelligent white man in
the world is shut out if he happened to be born
in q foreign country.
"A Wisconsin paper states that little
girl, eight years DID, is begging in the streets of
Oshkosh, with paper which certifies that "the
bearer is widow with five children, in desti-
tute circumstances"
- Apprehension of evil is often worse than
evil itself.

him a-how long hold him? The. thought was
madness. and he struggled to break away, when
the piled up rotten shells fell bursting around
him. and the CHASTITY, rattling bones struck him
on every sidel A shrek Of herror-the rest
to- him. was chaosl :
With the dawn OF, the norrew Frank Leslie
disappeared, and I never saw him again.
Months after ~O'Bren was taken home to re-
cover amid the verdant groves of his fathers
house. They were in their summer bloom
when we reached them, and the autumn winds
whirled their leaves over his grave. A brave,
generous heart ceased to beat and a genius
lighted mind was lost to earth, by vain, fool,
ish test-and now that more than q score OF
years have passed, write the tale of horror as
a warning.

BLESSED BE NorH1NG.-During the last
twenty years, VIM. B: Astor has SO managed a
fortune of twenty millions as to roll it into six
ty millions. Suppose he has, what then =
What has he made by the operation, exceptin-
creased worriment to keep the run of his in
creased wealth T.: Astor, with sixty millions,
eats no more oysters, quail, woodcock, and
boned- turkey, than he did when he was worth
ten millions. He dresses no better. and has
thousand times less fun. We beat him onsleep,
and have no lawsuits with, tenants and trespas-
sers. Robbers lie inwait for Astor every time
he goes out of doors after dark They'd They don't IT
think of us. Astor has sixty millions OF
trouble. To keep the run of his rents, bonds
and estates, keeps Astor in work about four
teen hours in day, and yet Astor only gets
three square meals in day, which is just what
we obtain without any millions, any tenants
any real estate, and only work eight or ten
-honrs per day. .gY4g
With contentment and moderate incomes a
man may be as happy as prince: Without
cohtentment, you will be miserable, even If
your wealth equals that of Croesus. ,s

Price $45 Cash, with usual Advance On Time.
EXPERIENCE in the use of this Guano for
r. the past six years in this State, for Cotton
and Corn, has so far established its character for
excellence as to render comment unnecessary.
In accordance with the established policy Of
the Company to furnish the best Concentrated
Fertilizer at the lowest cost to consumers, thin
Guano is put into market this season at the
above reduced price, which the Company is en-.
abled to do by reason Of its large facilities and
the reduced cost of manufacture.
The supplies put into market this season arc,
as heretofore, prepared under the personal su-
perintendence of DR.. st. Julian Ravenel, Chem
ist of the Company, at Charleston, s. c., hence
planters may rest assured that its QUALITY
and COMPOSITION, is precisely the same %
that heretofore sold. At the present low price
every acre planted can be fertilized with 200
pounds Guano at a cost not exceeding the pres
ent value Of 30 pounds Of cotton, while experf.
ence has shown that under favorable conditions
Of season and cultivation the crop is increased
by the application from two to threefOld tho
natural capacity Of the soil. Hence, under no
conditions could its application fail to compen-
safe for the outlay. Apply to

A Western Incident.

A tsrgetshoot was grand thing among
the rough pioneers; there were some visi-
tors from beyond the mountains, and
each riaeman was particularly anxious to
display his own accomplishment before
The strangers. Mike Fink was among
them the prince Of marksmen. But on
this occasion he was unusually quiet and
reticent.
After exhibiting their skill BY "cut-
ting the CENTER" 70 the satisfaction of
the visitors, j. came Fink's turn to per-
form the grand final feat Of the occa'
sion.
This consisted in setting tin cup IA
the head ofone of the party, and placing
him at the distance of ffty paccs, shoot
ing the cup off the head of the person
supporting it. Mike as usual seledted
Joe Stevens as cup bearer. All knew
his skill and no one would hesitate to
have performed the service, They did
not know, however, that but short time
before this Mike had fallen oat with Joe,
and had patiently visited the time for
his revenge. Joe accepted the honor
with alaerity, especially gratifed at
Mikes commendatory remarks, as he re-
quested him to perform the service. Fink
expressed himself confident that he could
plug the foremost side Of the cup. pro-
vided jos would hold it up, for he allus
held it kind o stidy like"

HEsoIcE OBEDIENCE TO Derry
Many can still recollect when tidings
came Of the silent heroism with which
more than Eve hundred soldiers, in the
wreck of the Birkcnhcld, met death in
the spirit of obedience to duty; aud that,
too, when there was none OF the excite.
ment of battle aud Of victory to cheer
them on. The soldiers stood in their
ranks on the deck Of the sinking ship
while the women and children were
quietly rut into Quo Of the boats. EVERY
one did as he was directed" says
Captain Wright, one of the few
who escaped to tell he tale; ''and there
was not q murmur or q cry among them
till the vessel made her final plum 20. /.
All the officers received their orders, and
had them carried out. as if the a.sn
were euibarkins Instead Of going to the
bottom. There vas only this difference,
never saw any embarka:icn con-
Quoted with SO little noise and confusion.
When the vessel was just going down,
the commander Of the soldiers,
bus of the ship called cut, 'All those
who can swim jump overheard, and
make for the boats The officer begged
the men not to do as the commander
said, as the boat with the women must
be swamped. Not more chan three mado
the attempt. And SO they sank among
the waves, carrying the habits Of duty,
which they had learnt as soldiers, into
that last act Of self-sacrifco. Sir Ed.
