How YOUNG MEN SHOULD DRINK
Stand up straight like a man, your
left side to the bar, take the glass
neatly and firmly between the thumb
and fore6nger of the right hand, let
ting the little finger drop down to
near the bottom ct the glass, swing
the glass in plane exactly cores
pondiug with the top of the bar, I'M
til it is precisely before you. Just
then throw the head back little,
push the chin forward, so as to leave
the throat in full, open, easy posi-
ton. Compress the lips lightly,
draw Il full breath through the nos
tr,ls, and with a graceful curve raise
the glass until the rim is within about
three inche of your chin. Now is
the supreme moment Just b ere,
turn your eyes upward, think of your
mother, and open your hand instead
of your mouth! II any one laughs it
will be an insult which you should re-
sent by not going there again.

with the apparently innocent request,

this point: Men who want to recover
damages tor trespass set the highest
possible value gu their property; when
hey are to be assessed for tax levy,
they are poor indeed. The commits
sion appointed to examine into and re-
port upon the Mexican raids into Tex
ms report a total damage of about $50. =
600, 900 to the flocks and herds of the
Tpxaus living in the border counties.
The assessed valuation OF that species
of property in the whole Stpe is just
about that sum. Texan live stock
must have increased enormously in
value since the Mexicans stole it by
the who iesale.

FRIeHTFuL ACCIDENT IN BONE Mill
Yesterday afternoon a colored man named ia
cob Walker, while engaged in sewing bags of
Fertilizers in the bone mill of +. l.. Moore, near
the Aqueduct bridge, was accidentally caught
by an upright shaft and whirled around at a
furious rate, and but ior the presence of mind
OF one of the employees in the mill, who shield ed
his head from an adjoining post as he went
around, he would have been killed. Luckily
he was not much injured; but another colored
man named Taylor, who was endeavoring to
rescue him, had one of his arms broken near
the wrist, and fearfully lacerated. He was at
tended by DIR. Klelnschmidt, who fears his arm
will have to be amputated.
THE CANAL BREAK.-The break in the canal
reported Yesterday is said to be a slight one, and
is four miles above Harper's Ferry.

philadelphia, has arrived via the ocean route
with full cargo of general merchandise, and
the steamer f. q. Knight has arrived from New
YORK with miscellaneous cargo; also the steam
