This is what usually comes of playing with
edged tools: A fellow up in Oregon thought
he would be smart and just have little fun
with young lady upon whom he had waited
two or three times. He asked her what she
would do if a nice looking young gentleman
asked her to marry him. She smiled, oh, 60
gushingly, and looked good enough to eat,
but said nothing. Then he asked her what
she would say if he asked her to marry him.
She threw her arms around him, and rushed
out for her hat and shawl. The poor fellow
says he never was married so sudden in his
life. Probably that was the nearest she ever
came to being asked, and she thought fooling
around with sentiment would be dangerous.
The editor ofthe Louisville Ledger thus sings
OF his beautiful Eliza Jane who woos him to
slumber 10y playing upon her 'bugle'
There is one about our house who says she
''knows how this is herself
Oh the snors the beautiful snere.
f!llug the bedroom from ceiling 10 foor,
Under the coyerlet, under the sheet,
soft, and low, and full, and sweet;
Now rising alor, Ike a bug in June.
Now sunk 70 the wall Of a cracked basoon.
Rising.
Falling.
Then rising again,
Is the beautiful snore OF Liza Jane.

One Negro Stoned by Two Others and
Thrown Into Convulsions.
An alteration occurred yesterday between
three colored hands employed at the works of
the Marine River Phosphate Company, near
the east end Of Calhoun street, In which one
oilhe number, Prince Gibbs, was seriously
inJ ,lred. The circumstances, as related by the
ut er hands who were present, are as follows:
Git bs and several hands, among whom were
TWO brothers, Morris and George Holmes,
W, re engaged in dischargIng load OF phos-
plate rock from lighter moored to the
wharf. Gibbs was about to attach the hook OF
i..e hoistlDg apparatus to tub which he had
filled with rock, when Morris Holmes went up
and tried to take the hook away. Gibbs
seized him by the throat and pushed him
away. Holmes thereupon took up large
rock and struck Gibbs upon the left
side of the head, near the temple,
causing him to fall down. George
Holmes had, In the mean time, gone to
his brothers assistance. Gibbs soon regained
his feet and attempted to approach the broth
ers, but was again struck about the same spot
with rock thrown by George Holmes and
second time Frustrated. Gibbs had been cut
By the blows and was bleeding pretty freely,
but he rose to standing position, and after
pausiDg for few minutes apparently unde-
cided what to do, walked to the wharf and
thence to the engine room near by, where he
was shortly taken with convulslons and fell
down insensible. He was carried to his home
in vanderhorst street, near St. Philip, In an
unconscious state. Gibbs and Morris Holmes
had got into difficulty on the previous day,
and the. hands alleged that Morris had carried
his brother George to work with him yester-
day ior the express purpose Of beating Gibbs.
Fhe rrcthers remained about the scene of the
'a.,erce:ion only about ten minutes after Its oc-
currer and then made of for parts un-
