MCRDEEoUs ATTACK Mr.. Jerry Tins
ley, who lives at Marietta, reports to us
in our Office that. on Thursday night
last, between midnight and daylight,
while he was absent and in attendance
upon the United States Court, some per-
son approached his house aud fired eight
or nine times into his dwelling, dis
charging forty-eight or fifty shots, one
OF woloh grazed the hand of his wife,
greatly endangering those inside. The
party guilty of this murderous attack is
supposed to be known, and will be mr.
rested when sufficient evidence is ad.
duced. The man, Mr.. Tinsley thinks,
accused him of reporting him to the Iu-
ternal Revenue officers a similar attack
was also made upon the house of Mrs.
Catherine Tinsley. in the same place, in
which three or four shots were fired, a
few hours afterwards. and it is supposed
the same party did it for similar motives.
We regret to record such occurrences.

Fifty Cents for II Wife.
From the Boston Traveller, March 4

A iunny-looking specimen of hui
manity has been perambulating several
OF our streets Tor II few days past and
gong into our warehouses and inform
ing the clerks that he vas very much
IN want OF Il wife, and that he had been
trying for a long time and had not sue
ceeded. He seemed terribly in earnest,
and WAS willing to pay any one who
would recommend him. When asked
what price he was willing to give he
named fifty cents. He had on a some
what mclent-looking hat, with the
crown more or less jammed, huge pair
of rubber boots, with his pants tucked
inside of them, and his hair was long
and matted and had the appearance Of
not having been combed for the last SIX
months. His clothes were more or less
tattercd, and he really looked as if he
needed Just what he was in search of.
He said he resided near Tufts College,
and could give a wife real good home
on a farm. Take him all in all, he was
the funniest looking specimen that has
moved around these parts.

Rev. Dr. Hepwortl, OF New York, re-
Gently delivered a lecture on the above
subject. After briefly referring to the
celebrated Mr.. Micawber, and his Gus
tom of waiting for something to turn
up the speaker remarked that he sue
cceds who helps things to turn up, and
he fails who idly waits. There is, I'M
doubtedly, such Il thing rs good fortune,
and there is, it may be admitted, such a
thing as bad luck Men toll sometimes
for twenty years, and another steps i'll
to reap the fruits OF their toll. They
seem born under an evil star, and every
thing goes wrong with them. Admit
ing these cases to sometimes occur, to
come to the hard pan of my subject, in
the long run success in life can be re-
duCed to science. He touches the
goal and reaches the threshold of the
highest success who labors truly and
earnestly. This is the universal law if
you obey it, well; if you disobey it, i'll;
you cannot dodge it.
There is more incentive to labor in
America than elsewhere, because the
highest success is within The reach OF
all. When, in England, the poor man
sees Il Duke ride by in state, he envies
him as one to whose position he can
never aspire. When the rich man here
rides by with his tourin hand, the Yam
kee boy says: Very well for an old
man; II have SIX horses when Pm us
old. There is something in the atmos,

lofty ambition, and it is the honest work

French vs.. German,

curious dispute has arisen in Stras
bours. The question at issue is whether
the language OF the plays shall be spoken
IN French or German. Naturally enough
the people wish the talk to be in French,
the tongue they can all understand ;
hut the Governor thinks it due to the
dignity of Prussia that the language
heard on the stage of Elsass should be
German. A compromise has been sug-
gested by the fact that French COM
pany is to act i'll Metz. 1t is proposed
that they cone and play once a week
III Suasbourg, and that ON the other
nights the pieces shall be performed in
German. The people of Strasbourg are
understood sullenly to assent to this
arrangement, and to intend simply to
leave the theatre empty when they can
not hear French in it.

arranged and elegant offices, ladies' parlors,

Chicago and Northwestern Railway, with
horse car, and omnibus lines in front and
on either side leading from all the other
railroads, they now occupy the very focus of
the converging lines Of travel, to gather in
the vast trade of the Northwest. With su-

by showing themselves to be equal to great

The Decay of POliteness.

In nothing is the decay OF politcness
more remarkable than III the relations
between the sexes. Men and women
are antagonistic as well as familiar.
We will start no veXcd questions to &C
count for this antagonism, but suggest
that it must be in some sort the result
OF steam and smoke, since it began with
the railways. In olden times-not so
very old eithcr-when the stage coaches
were our best and rcadest means of
travelling, women commanded the care
and attention OF the gallant. In caseof
ram, gentlemen relnqulshcd their com.
Portable inside places and mounted to
the roof i'll favor OF the ladies. Coats,
cloakS, mbrcllas-every available con
venience was at their service. They
were waited upon at inns, handed in
and out Of the coach, assisted with their
luggage-taken care OF, III short. Now,
the sight of woman in u railway car
riagc sends the knight further. He
rushcs from compartment until the OBJ
noXious flowers or feathers that alarmed
him are absent, and he gains that luXuri-
Gus dlvan appropriate to the stronger
sex, and called "smol<ing carriage"
If the warming whistle precipltatc him
into the company OF the lair sex, he
leaves it as quickly us he can, and does
not larry to offer II hand or protect u
handbook. 1t is just possible that those
ladies who have taken to cigarettes may
find more favor with the way mascu-
line traveller. The banitics OF domestic
life and the civiities of society are
equally lost III smoke. Men herd to-
gether in club, where the pipe,
emblem of low life i'll the last genera
ton, is the calumet Of peace Of this.
Women who unaiiectedly dislike the
odor Of tobacco need not expect to be
liked by the men. They are simply
bores. Thus, if men prefer clubs to
drawing rooms and pipes to ladies, wo-
men, asserting ther rights i'll turn, form
separate Soci~ ties. They have their
clubs. They become what is called
"strong minded" and the other Sex,
who " make chimneys Of their noses"
as james |. not inaptly said, puff out
ridicule instead of putting out politeness.

Clement. Morton Il 20.

The extraordinary career of this wholesale
clothing house is a striking illustration of
the marvellous pluck and enterprise which
has given Chicago and Chicago bust
ness men world wide renown. In the
fall of 1870, this firm lost their stock
of about 100000 by fire, but mme-
dately resumed business with largely
increasing trade. Again in the great fire Of
October, 1871, their stock of over 100000
was entirely swept away. Meeting every
engagement promptly on time, they Were
the first III their line to resume business in
full, having their manufacturing depart
ment in running condition early in Novem-
Der, giving employment during the winter
to 400 workmcn; and to-day they offer to
the trade stock of nearly half a million dol
lars, with daily business moro than double
that of any former year. With their en-
tcrprise, facilities, and high reputation for
honorable dealing, we predict for them 4
brilliant future Chicago Tribune.

Hapid Development of Eggs.

In its passage through a tube hardly
eight inches long, it imbbcs fluids from

transit through the last four inches the
growth is still more rapid, while ii is
also coated over with lime, mixed like
paint with mucous, which hardcns
quickly. That is the finishing process
before being laid. IN twenty days the
eggs OF one hen would exceed the

the number as well as the size OF the

In the laying season, if domestic fowls
cannot range for insects and worms,
which furnish albumcn for their eggs,
they must be fed with animal food to
meet the demand upon their systems
for that material.
