murder In a Beer saloon.

CHICAGO, Sept. 13-A terribly cold
blooded and unprovoked murder was COM
mitted al 10 O'Clock to night, in beer sa-
loon, corner Madison and Clark streets, the
circumstances of which, as related by the
b,r-keeper and hers present, were as fol-
lows: -Four men entered the saloon,
and taking a seat at one of the tables, called
for beer, which was suppled them by one
of the walters, young man whose name
cannot now be learned. After drinking
the men started TO leave the saloon, when
the waiter politely requested them to pay
for the beer. One of the men replied that
he had paid for it, and on the waiter re-
plying that be had not, began to abuse him.
TIE waiter turned away from them and
walked behind lunch counter, which
stood near the bar, when the ruffian with
whom he had been disputing, deliberately
drew q revolver and fred three shots at
him, the third one striking him full in the
forehead and passing entirely through his
head. The assassin fed and was pursued
by the bar-keeper of the ests olishment,
who was, however, unable to over axe
him, and at this writing is still at large, and
as no one iu the room seemed to know
him, his capture will be difficult.

THE discovery of new material
for the manufacture of paper is always
grateful intelligence; for there are
few articles in The cheapness of which
larger proportion of the public are
concerned. The latest experiment of
the kind was that recently presented
to the convention of French paper
manufacturers, a few samples were
exhibited of good paper that had been
made of hops. The textile sheath of
the stalk is used for this purpose. Be-
ing chemically treated, this substance
is found to be almost equal to rags in
the length and suppleness of its text
ure, and to be infinitely superior to
straw, grass, wood and the other veg
etable substances that have been tried
from time to time. The discovery
will probably inspire many people, as
the dime novelists say, with conflict
ing emotions. It is gratifying IN that
it promises better and cheaper arti-
Gle of paper; but what may its effect
be upon the price of certain other
commodity that is also manufactured
from hops?

THE OLD MILL Ar NEWPORT.

Correspondence Of the New York HeraldI
Among the other institutions at
Newport ought to be mentioned the
Old Stone Mill, upon which | was
disposed to look with veneration, un-
til my faith in human natuse in gem
eral and nature at Newport in partic-
ular was shaken in the touching man
ner above narrated. 1t stands upon a
large plot of green directly in front of
the Atlantic House, and may be taken
for anything you wish to imagine it
to be. If the band playeGai in it morn
ing and evening, yeu would say il
made q good music house, and if
somebody set up a soda water foun-
tain there, you would call it capital
idea. At any rate it furnishes every
visitor who dabbles in archaeology
something to speculate about. A good
many years ago, the Society of Danish
Antfqnaries at Copenhagen decided
that Il was built by Norsemen in the
twelfth century. I have examined all
the records that have come in my
way, and find myself in long lane
that seems to me to have no turning,
rather which turns again into itself,
and leads one over the same ground
ad falIf1aitttns. Let us be thankful to
whoever built the Old Stone Mill,
and let us be equally thankful to those
who didn't pull it down. What
should we do without these architec-
tural mummies, come to us from out
Of q dead and forgotten past and
speaking to MS with mo- language? If
there issanything which feel partic-
ticnlarIy obliged to Father Time for,
il is for surrounding the nineteenth
century with so many relics which no
one knows anything about, and which
professional aRtiquarians shrewdIy
forbear uttering their opinions of for
fear they should be mistaken and be
held in scorn and contumely. One of
the advantages of being monument
is that the older you grow the more
interesting yon become, and the more
people come to look at you. Every
body is anxious to take you away
with them, and, although every one
assists in pulling you to pieces, no one
does so maliciously.

A Georgia paper, the Atlanta Her
aid, advises q man who has ST 600 to
establish q hennery near that city, and
depicts his glorious prospects thus,
affording most remarkable instance
of counting ones chickens before the
eggs are even laid:
With $306 he can purchase 1000
good hens an additional $50 will buy
him 100 cocks. Let him then rent a
good piece of grassy land near this
city, and expend $40 in fixing up
chicken coops, nests, and fencing. Ii
, he can then with the balance of his
money purchase cheap horse and a
secondhand wagon, he is ready for
business. His hens will furnish him
at low estimate, an average of 6O0
eggs Q day the year round, though for
certain purposes, let US say fifty dozen
per day. He can secure steady sale
for them at an average of IL cents per
dozen, or So so per day, or in round
numbers, $1,000 year. The food OF
these fowls may be literally put at
$3.50 per annum, and with the little
garden patch that should be cultivated
the bee-hives which should fringe the
house, the cow, that should be care
fully attended to, the man and his
family could easily live on thousand
dollars a year. Putting his rent at
$500 cash per annum, one would have
profits of ST 500-quite a handsome
thing. "The man with q thousand
dollars" is really aff1uent if he only
knew it.

Did You ever watch two men on
wood pile, one with an ak and the
other without? The man with the
ak selects a knotty block to split. He
commences upon it with great force,
while the other stands quietly by aid
ing him by gritting his teeth, making
faces, wrinkling his mouth, and such
other ways as nature impells him to.
Finally, the man with the az becomes
exhausted and seats himself on block
of wood, and engages in devotional
exercise in the interest of the father
OF the sFbrimstone" kingdom. The
other then picks up the ak and "goes
in" with Vengence necessary to sever
as he supposes, the tenacious parts,
while the other returns the aid which
he received. But he, too, grows weary
and gives up the task, but not until he
has appealed TO the Ruler of the uni
verse several times for assistance, in
eteanally damning the canse of his
overworked physic. The other then
sadly resumes the task, and after an
unsuccessful effort to sever it, con-
cludes that it will make good wood
for the fireplace.

TOMATO BEER.-A correspondent of
the Southern Planter tells how to
make tomato beer: ssGather the fruit
once a week, stem, wash and mash it
strain through coarse linen bag, ana
to every gallon of the juice add one
pound of good moist brown sugar.
Let it stand nine days and then pour
it off from the pulp, which will settle
on the bottom OF the jar. Bottle it
closely, and the better it is when you
want to use it. Take a pitcher that
will hold as much as you want to use,
fill it nearly full of fresh sweetened
water, add some of the preparation
already described, and a few drops of
the essence of lemon, costing almost
nothing. To every gallon of sweet
ened water add half tumbler of the
beer"

ABOUT MoUNTAINs.-We met our
young friend Daubs, the artist, the
other day, and asked him what he was
going to do this summer. g Il think, y
said he, q I'll take a run up into the
interior of the State and paint the
Alleghenies." Daubs has a big job on
hand for the warm weather. We
should think it would take him all
summer to paint the Alleghanies, even
if he did it with WhiteWash brush.
We don't exactly see the use of paint
ing them they look very well as they
are. And suppose Daubs takes it into
his head to paint that whole range of
mountains pink. or cream-color. or to
fresco them? We never saw cream
coIored mountain but somehow we
feel as if it would be as uninterest1ng
as a light blue horse or brown moon
light. But if Daubs paints those ma
jestic hills pink, we shall emigrate
from the State. We would rather
live in humble brown stone house
on eight or ten thousand dollars a
year in some part of New York or
New Jersey, than to dwell in the most
gorgeous frame residence less
money in Stata with pink hills

The Piano. Keep your piano out
of damp rooms never place it near
the fire or the window, or between
them, or in a draught; but place it at
least foot from the wall, or in the
middle of the room. Do not load the
top of it with books, and if it is in
cottage, don't turn the bottom, as l
have known some people to do, into a
cupboard. Keep the keys carefully
busted, and always shut down the lid
when you have done playing.

LITTLE THINGS.


One step and then another
And the longest walk is ended;
One stitch and then another,
And the largest rent Is mended;
One brick and then another.
And the highest wall Is made;
One flake upon another
And the deepest snow is laid
So the little coral workers.
BIZ their slow and constant motion.
Have bniIt these pretty islands.
In the distant, dark blue ocean;
And the nobIest undertakings
Mans wisdom hath conceived,
BY oft-repeated effort
Have been patiently achieved.
A Iittle-'tfs little word,
But much may in It dwell:
Then let warning voice be heard.
And learn the lesson well;
The way to ruin thus begins.
Down, down like easy stairs
II Conscience suffers little sins,
Soon larger ones It bears
A little theft. small deceit,
Too often leads TO mOres

just as the broadest rivers run,
From small and distant springs,
The greatest crimes that men have done
Have grown from little things.
