CASE OF CAPT. w. Fl. IRRELEVANT. -Iu
pursuance of the order of Judge Bryan,
United States Commissioner Boozer
began. on Tuesday Of last week, the in
vestigation CT the case of Capt W. H.
Trezeyant, arrested recently at Char
lotte, charged with conspiracy and other
violation of the Enforcement Act at this
place in March, 1871. Four days of last
week were consumed in taking testimony
in the case. On Friday Commissioner
Boozer adjourned the further hearing of
the case till Tuesday, 25th instant. Re
having failed to return from Columbia
on that day, the case was necessarily
continued until yesterday. We are in

AS soon as the case is closed we hope to
be allowed to take copy of the testi-
mony introduced and publish the same

FATAL MEDICAL BLUNDEH.-A letter
from Hermitage, Mo. gives an account
Of n terrible case of poisoning which oc-
Cured in the town of Whcatland on
Wednesday last. It appears that n young
man, named Moore, applied to tho
County physician for prescription for
some medicine to cure ague, and, as lie
objected to taking quinine, the doctor
prescribed dose Of bitters compounded
of Peruvian bark, dog weed aud whis-
key. Young Moore took u dose of the
bittcrs and started for his home. which
he WAS barely able to reach, and soon
nfterward died
Doctors Redfeld and Bnrnes. who had
boen summoned Ivy Mrs. Moore to at
tend her son, in order to relieve the mo-
theirs fears that the young man had
been poisoned, ench swallowed some Of
the bitters and soon afterwards started
for their homes, but had proceeded n
short distance only when DIR. Barnes was
taken violently i'll, and was compelled
to dismount from his horse, and was just
able to drag himself home, and died
during the night.
DR.. Redfeld, feeling pren,onitory
symptoms Of poisoning, spurred his
horse to his utmost speed, and just
reached his house and fell insenniblo ut
the door. He was carried inside, aud
died within fifteen minutes.
The matter had not been Investigated
when the letter was written; therefore,
it is not known whether the doctor who
prepared the bitters made mistake, or
whether the druggist from whom he
purchased the medicine committed O
blunder.

confusion for few moments, but the
gentleman soon recovered consciousness,
and his first thought was Of his bride
An Immediate search WAS made for the
lady, who was at last found beneath Il
heap of debris, senseless and covered
with blood. Upon raising her up, her
husband was horrifed to find that one Of

The unfortunate lady was removed to

been detected, he threw down his bur

It was picked up by the nobleman. who
removed the ring and caused the arm to
be taken care of. The lady was brought

!. SUNDAY MARR1AGEs.-Sunday marri-
ages, we learn from the Presbyterian, are
according to the opinion of an eminent
lawyer, illegal. That journal says: 1.-The
legal gentleman Who has made this dis
covery says that note drawn and sign
ed on the Sabbath is illegal, OF any 9TH
er legal agreement between parties
Marriage is contract. if performed out
of the, Legal time necessarily must be
void and claiming this the sons and
daughters of recently deceased mil
lionaire mean to contest his will, because
in that large portion of his estate. was
willed to the children of their step-moth-
er, who was welded to their father on a
sabbath in church in the city OF Roch
ester, New York. If the question is to
be decided that such marriages are ilie-
gal, another long catalogue of vexatious
suits will be brought into our courts by
parties similarly related to the one
above mentioned. The decision lately
rendered by learned judge, that mar
riages of minors are illegal, and di-
vorce for such is not necessary in order
that they can separate and remarry le-
gally, since it was carried into immedi-
ate practice by the parties for whom thu
decision was rendered, is proving bane-
full to society. The harm that this
decision does to our social system is
temporary only, and if the entire marry
ing population but learn of this decision
the future will witness less elopements
of young couples and less number Of
cases where guileful and designing men
entice young ladies from home in order
to wed them. That the ceremony Of
marriage for minors on any and all days
of the week, or where one is q minor
and the other an adult, shenld be pro-
nounced illegal and non-effective is not
strange but in the face Of long-practic-
ed customs, that Sabbath day weddings
are illegal, will strike thousands akin to
CONSERVATION. With all our lavs and
codes il, is indeed strange that these le-
gal enactments which most concern our
personal welfare and happiness are least
known and Understood by the general
public, including our most intelligent
people. -

| JAPANESE CARpENTERs-The Japanese
carpenters are ingenious workmen, and
their work is done with marvellous neat
ness. A curious feature of their houses
is that they do not contain a nail, all of
the joints and timbers being dove-tailed
together by many ingenious devices ;and
the whole work. even to the rafters, is
smooth as if it had been polished down
with sand-paper. And the Japanese are
neat, people, for they use no paint to
hide any blemish of obstruction or or
namentation, or filagree-work or plaster
of Paris gew-gaws, but every stick in
the building is exposed. Every morn
ing, as regularly as she cooks the break
fast or sweeps the floor, the Japanese
housewife takes wet cloth and scours
the whole interior OF the dwelling, leav-
ing no part untouched and no stain or
,irtspot to mar its cleanly appearance.
Then the Japanese do not come in the
house with muddy boots, after the style
of the American sovereign but, having
covered the floor with neat mating. all
ways remove the dirty sandals before
stepping upon it. I stood and watched
the Japanese carpenters at their work
for some minutes and noticed the pecul-
iarity of their movements. The Japan
ese carpenter works towards him-that
is, ms cad of showing plane on board
at arms length, he pulls it towards him
and he cuts chops and saws in the same
way. His saws are set ina handle like
a butchers cleaver, and the teeth slant
or rake towards the handle. The planes
are constructed like ours; but the wood
en- portion is very thin ane wide. The
adj is fastened to the end of a hooped
stick, like the handle of one of the
crooked canes worn on the arm on our
streets and although their tools are diff
erent from ours, yet can not observe
that they are awkward in appearance, or
awkwardly handled. ,, .,-.U

WHAT TO DO WHEN You ARE IN TRou

WHAT TO DO WHEN You ARE IN TRou-
1LE.-Don't try to quench yonr sorrow
in rum or narcotics. If you begin this,
you must keep right on with it till it
leads you to ruin; or, if you please, you
must add physical pain and the con-
sciousness of degradation to the sorrow
you wish to escape. Of all wretcbed
men his condition is the most pitiful
who, having sought to drown his grief
in drink, av axes from his debauch with
shattered nerves. aching head md de-
pressed mind, to face the same trouble
again. That which was at first painful
: to contemplate, will after drink, seem
unbearable. Ten to one the fatal drink
will be again and again sought, till its
victim sinks ? hopeless, pitiful wreck.

D1Er AND HAD1T.-The following OBJ
serxations on diet. habit etc., will be
found quite as valuable as any: Qui-
nine should not be eaten after hearty
meal of India rubber; the spermaceti
contained in the former will unite with
the oxxlc acid of the latter, and wagon
grease will be evolved with disastrous
results. Before taking bath the entire
body should be carefully washed. Then
lay ON a coating of tar and get into the
water. It can't touch you anywhere.
1t is not SO fashionable as it was to chop
q cord of wood before breakfast; none
but very old men, who cling to the ira
ditions of youth like lean leech to &
stuffed frog, ever do it. and they COM
monty perish at it. Getting ont of bed
in perspiration is to be avoided al
ways lie in bed as long as you can find
any excuse for it. Nothing is more in
furious than the ordinary method of 60
ing up stairs; it causes the ak, Ii in the
blood to settle in the core, producing
Arianism and strangulation. The pro-
per way is to lie on your stomach and
go up feet first. Never sleep with your
eyes shut; it is degenerate habit.
Bathing, as intimated above. isconduct-
ed on wrong principle. 1t is proba-
BILE thai the custom might be advantage
ously abolished altogether. Bath. houses
and bathing-rooms in dwellings are O
thing of recent growth. Our grand
fathers seldom or never bathed; and il
is conceded that they lived to oe several
hundred years old. Potatoes should
always be eaten with the skins, skins
contain bicarbonate of lnucilage. which
is Just what the liver requires. When
the custom of giving the skins to the
poor originated, science was almost
wholly unknown. There are more
things it would be well to know. but q
strict compliance with the rules already
given will enable you to live as long as
you wish to. Futher instructions would
not prolong your misery.-E1cha1ge.

To YouNa HoUsEKEEPERs.-By solemn
marriage you have just began solid life.
Why not, therefore, be satisfied to COM
mence on q small, moderate scale,
spreading out only as fast as circum-
stances will admit of.
"It is too common with young house
keepers to commence where their moth
ers ended. Buy all that is necessary to
work skillfully with; adorn your home
with all that will render it comfortable.
Do not look at richer homes, and covet
their costly furniture. If secret dissat-
isfaction is ready to spring up, go a
step farther and visit the homes Of the
suffering poor; behold dark. cheerless
apartment, insufici. mt clothing. and alb
sepce Of all comforts and reinements
of social life, and then return to your
own with joyful spirit. You will then
prepare to meet your husband with a
grateful heart, and be ready to appre-
ciate the toll and self denial which he
has endured in the business world to
surround you with the delight of home;
and you will cooperate cheerfully with
him in SO arranging your expenses that
lis mind will not be constantly harrass-
ed less his family expenditures may en-
croach upon public payment.
Be independent; a young housekeeper
never needed greater moral courage than
she does now, to resist arrogance Of
fashion. Do not let Smiths or Browns
decide what you shall; have neither hold
the strings of your purse. You know
best what you can and ought to afford.
1t matters little what people think, pro-
vided you are true to yourself. to right,
and duty. Keep your expenses within
your means. t.s

CURE FOR DANDRUFF.-Good mild
soap is one of the safest remedies, and
is sufficient in ordinary cases; carbonate
of potash or soda is too alkaline for the
skin. Every application removes apor-
ton of the cuticle, as you may observe
by the smoothness of the skin of your
hands after washing them with it.
Borax is recommended; but this is also
soda combined with weak acid, boracic
acid. and may by protracted use also in
juriously act on the scalp. Soap is also
soda or potash combined with the weak,
fatty acids; and when the soap contains
an excess of the alkalies, or is sharp it
is in injurious as the carbanate of pot
ash. All that Injuries the scalp Injuries
the growth of the hsir. One Of the
best applications from the vegetable
kingdom is the mucilaginous decotion
of the root of the burdock called bar
dane, in French botanical name. Ldppa
Minor.) In the mineral kingdom the
best remedy is solution of flowers OF
sulphur in water, which may be made
by the addition of very small portion
of sulphide of potassium, say ten or
twenty grains to the pint. This solu-
ton is shaken up with the sulphur, and
the clear liquid remaining on the Top
is used. This recipe is founded on the
fact that sulphur is poison for inferior
vegetables or animal growth, like dand-
ruff, itch, etc., and is not poison for
the superior animals, like man.
