A colored debating society at Covington,
Ga, lately considered the stupenduous
question, Which is the more useful, paper
or gun powder =" The president was for
long time in great doubt as to which side
had produced the strongest argument,
when one of the powder side arose and
very gravely said: Mr.. President: Spose
dar wus bar out dar at de door, an you
wus to go dar an shake de paper at him,
you'd see what de bar would do. But jes
shoot cannon at him and mark dc result

forthwith decided in favor of powder

METROPOLITAN HOTEL,

~ ~ oth, JAN. iSt>.
! Never, since the assassination of
President LINCOLN, has New York
| been thrown into such a state of fe-
verish excitement, as prevailed last
night, when it was rumored the
Colonel of the Ninth" had been
shot. On Saturday at 4 2 o'clock,
L. NJ, Col FISK might nave been
seen seated in his carriage, driving
up Broadway, and alighting at the
private entrance to the Grand Cen
trail Hotel. Closely following this
"six-iE hand turnout was couple
which was dexterously guided
through the labyrinth of vehicles in
a mysterious manner. In this was
seated the Culrnel's avowed enemy
EDWARD f. Stokes. The Colonel,
upon inquiring for lady friend, was
being shown up to the parlors, when
EDWARD r. Stokes, who lay in dead
ly wait, came from his ambuscade,
and, lcvelinS his pistol. fired two
shots, one Of which touk effect in
the arm, the other in the abdomen
He at once exclaimed. my God
will anyone hei p m" ?" At this june
| ture Stokes retrcated to the office OF
the hotel, and in an excited manner,
/ informed the clerk that man was
shot at the private entrance; he
then beat haaty retreat, and, upon
| the clerk shouting "St"p that man,
people standing in the main corridor,
and some in the t0nsorial depart
mcnt, with brla.hcrcu faces. made n
rush for the rrtreatiug assassin and
checked his further progress, and he
was handed over to the officers OF
the law.
| Madame Rumor, as usual, con
nects some fair female as par!,ceps
c,imin,s, and as the power behind
, the throne and, in this Case, FISK s
once firm friend. HELEN JOSEPHINE
MANSFIELD, figures as the unenviablc
parsonage.
At the time of the shooting lit
tie legal squabblc was going on be-
tween the Colonel ana Miss. Mans
FIELD. 1t appeals row that this I'M
pIeasantness was duly compromised
and the prince of Erie WAS given
another opportunity to assert his SUI
periori,y over one of the. adjuncts in
the case, (SroKEs) who had been
out-manmuvrcd by flank movement
upon the part of the Colonel.
On Sunday morning it was cur
rcntly reported that Col. Fisk had
lied, and doubtless his soul has taken
its fight to the realms of heav-
en-, to appear before the Great Judge
to answer for the deeds done in the
body.
Public sentiment appears to be
against STOKES; while admitting the
many shortcomings Of Fisk, it de-
nounces the manner in which his life
| was taken And now will be given

The Laws Of DO.aastic Storms.

There are periods III life. says the
Pau Nal G1settr, when blood rela.
:ions seem born to l,arass and bcwil-
der each other. Where is the son
wh", on arriving at age, has not gonc
in the very opposite direction to his
fathers wishes, either with regard
" calling. opinions or marriage
Where is the father who has not
walked up some morning to the con-
victiun that with the best intentions
in tie world the parental relation
is failure! If he is a philosopher
he will submit to the inevitable
with good grace, and argue thus
Yes it was all very we'll to dream
when my son lay in his cradle how
happy | should be if he ever grew
70 be man. To have him as friend
companion, and adviser. All. lite
would indeed be worth having
But how differently things turn out
to what one expects ! He has taken
up with hateful opinions on politics,
religion, and everything else worth
Sinking about He is determined
to marry an odlous woman He
criticises and distrusts my most Sc
rious convictions. We shall always
maintain afiectionste relations. but,
As to friendship, that is quite anoth,
or thing"
If, on the other hand, lie is dull
headed and iron-willed, the transient
coldness is sure to lead to an irrev-
ocable separation. On which, in
deed, of the domestic relations does
not disenchantmcnt at some time or
other wait?
The laws of domestic storms are
simple enough when studied practi-
cally. Some unfortunate men and
women spend their lives in devising
how this or that squal is to be avoid
eli. Like the Dukes daughter in
Nj. Disracli's amusing novel, who,
If her husband cried for the moon
promised it to him Immediately,
they are always ready to say black
IL white for the sake of being agree
able. At night, if they say their
prayers at all, they can't help wish,
ing that they might with propriety
include a thanksgiving for having
kept the dreaded object of their aficc
iions in good temper for day
But the sort of people who suhjcct
themselvcs to such a life of shifts.
shams and petty little secrets, know
nothing of the tragedy of a great
storm. They get battered about,
and are always in dirty weather, but
ahey do not go wholly to pieces.

America to be the Workshop Of the
World.

Recent cable dispatches convey
the intelligence that the price Of coal
is advancing in England, and that
",veIything connected with the coal
trade is higher" In consequence,
the ocean steamers have raised their
fares, and coal is beginning to be
imported from Belgium. The price
of this fuel, so indispensable to the
giant Industries of that busy island,
is said to have doubled during the
last year.
The cost of labor in the same
country has also considerably in.
creased within the same period, as a
result of the successful nine hour
movement. English manufactures
must, of course, be proportionately
advancing in price, and their power
to compete injuriously with the pro
ducts of our American mills and
workshops correspondingly less
ened.
Little doubt remains that the
foundation OF England Superiority
as a manufacturing country are
gradually slipping away. The best
coal beds have been worked down
almost to the limit of profit, and the
supply, if not already declined, is
incapable of further expansion
while the continual extension of
factories and furnaces is Increasing
the demand at a rapid rate
The English iron-makers have long
been importing ores from the Cont
nent, and now it becomes necessary
to exc out their supply Of fuel by
purchasing of Belgium. There Ia
Dor, too, is no longer so cheap as it
once was.
The time is not far distant when
the workshop of the world will be
transferred to the United States,
where not only fuel and iron ores
exist in exhaustless quantities, but
the greatest cotton fields are found,
and nearly every great staple raw
material abounds.

a Defence of PrettY Women.

After all, is the world so very alb
surd in its love of pretty women {:
Is woman so very ridiculous in her
chase after beauty? A pretty wo-
man is doing woman's work in
the world, but not making speeches,
nor making pudding, but making
life SUMMER and more beautiful.
Man has forsworn the pursuit of
beauty altogether. Does he seek it
for himself, ne is guessed to be friv-
olous, he is guessed to be poetic;
there are whispers that his morals
are no better than they should be.
In society resolute to be ugly there
is no post for an Adonis, hut that of
a model or guardsman. But womah
does for mankind what man has
ceased to do. Her aim from child
hood is to be beautiful. Even as q
schoolgirl she notes the progress of
her charms, the deepening color of
her hair, the growing symmetry OF
her arms the ripening. contour Of
her cheek. We watch, with silent
interest the Teveries of the maiden;
she is dreaming Of a coming beauty,
and painting for the glories of eight
cen. Insensibly she becomes an ar
tist, her room is a studio, her glass
an academy. The JOY of her toilet
is the joy of Raphael over his can
vass, of Michael Angelo over his
marble She is creating beauty in
the silence and loneliness. of her
chamber; she grows like any art
creation, the result Of patience, of
hopes, of a thousand delicate touch
ings and retouchings.
Woman is nevere perfect never
complete. A restless night undoes
the beauty of the day; sunshine
blurs the eYnnescent coloring Of her
cheek; frost nips the tender outlines
of her face into sudden harshness.
Care plows its line. across her brow;
motherhood destroys the elastic
Iightness Of her form; the bloom of
her cheek, the quick flash Of her
eye, fade and vanish as the years 60
by. But woman is still true to her
idea. She won't know when she is
beatens. and she manages to steal
fresh victories even in her defeat !
She invents new conceptions Of Fo-
manly grace; she rallies at forty,
and fronts us with the beauty of wo-
she makes a stand at
sixty, with the beauty Of age. She
falls like Caesar, wrapping her man
tie around her buried in wooden
twould 4 saint pFovoker' Death
listens pitifully to the longings of a
lifetime, and the wrinkled face
smiles with something Of the pretti-
ness of eighteen.
