Scene in a Smoking Car.

The following amusing incident 90
Cured recently in the smoking car of a
q. G. and j. z. railroad train, between
Shelby aud Cleveland. Says the Cleve
land Times:
A woman with poodle dog entered
the car just prior to the departure of the
train from the former point, and after
depo sting her dog on the seat, turned
over the back of another one, so that
each seat faced the other. Together.
she and her canine companion thus
menopolized the entire seats. Appear
ances seemed to indicate that the car was
one exclusively for the convenience OF.
those addicted to the use of the "weed;'
but of this fact she was soon advised by
the conductor, who advised her at the
same time that the accommodations in.
the other coaches were superior TO tiiu5o
where she vas then. However, she in
sisted on remaining, urging that her pre-
senee would deter the OCCUPANTS of the
Car from smoking, and shs would e0u1
sequently experience no. discomfort
from tobacco fumes. Long before the
train reached this city, however, gentle
man sitting directly. in front Of her pro
duced his case, aud, taking therefrona 3
cigar, began putting away at it in a man
ner which seemed pccu liarly calculated
to aggravatc thc woman back of him. Ia
an instant stragtegtic movement, shs
wrested the obhoxious cigar from his hand
and threw it out Of the window, exclaim
ing. "If there is anything I do hate, II
is tobacco saeke." The passengaE. who
had witnessed the affair were convulsed
with laughter, but the offending smoker
suppressed whatever emotions may have
bsen struggling for expression in words
or action, and m1intained throughouk
the same imperfdrbable gravity which.
had characterized him from the first.
Calmly rising from his scat, he opened
the window dearest him, fastening it up,
and reaching over the seatback, took up.
that woman's poodle dog aud threw il
out of the window as far beyond as
possible, at the same time saying, aif
there is anything / do hato, it's poodle

We quot, f'om the Bclgiu news
papers the following account of dread
full tragedy that occurred in little vii
lage near Brussels. A farmer and his
wife had plotted to murder their niece
during her sleep, to rob her Of $50
frances that she was taking to her sick
mother. In. order to foil the future
rehes of the police, they, previou ,ly
t pcrpetrating the crime, were engaged
in digging large hole in their garden,
SO as to bury TIE body in it, when the
YOUNG girl, who, not beng asleep, had
heard her terrible sentence, rushed out
by the window and ran to the police
station, distant one mile only.
But es soon as she was out, tho daugh
ter Of the farmer, who was not expected
home that night, came back, aud net
wishing to awaken anybody in the
house, went noiselessly into the bed
where her cousin had been lying few
minutes ago. She soon fell asleep, and
thus her mother, not being aware of the
Provide :tial substitution, owing to the
darkness OF the night, broke her own
daughters neck with an axe.
This being done, the two were .,o.ro
to the sar'--n, earring ,ho corpse, en-
'"opcd 10 bolspread, when two gen
L, -armes, accompanied by the fugitive
girl, rushed into the house with lanterns
in their hands.
At the sight of their niece, whom
they thought they had murdered the
two wretches took off the covering and
found their unfortunate child killed by
their own hands.
The man, taking largo butcher.
knife, plunged it into his breast and fel
dead on the ground. AS to the woman
who was prevented from committing
suicide, she became insane, and is now
shut up in lunatie asylum, where she
is expected soon to die from mental
exhaustion. a more horrible account
has rarely been registered in the annal,
Of crime.

An Erect Posture.

A writer on health very justly con
dcinns the habit Of louuging, in which
large Numbers of persons indulge, as
injurious to health. He says: sAu
erect bodily attitud, is of vastly more
Importance to health than it is generally
imagined Crooked bolily positions
maintained for any length of time, are
always injurious, whather in the sitting,
standing or lying posture, whether slesp.
ing or walking. To sit with the body
leaning forward on the stom ,ch, or to
one side, with the heels elevated to &
level with the head, is not only in hll.
taste, but exceedingly detrimental to
health. 1t cramps the stomach. presses
the vital organs; interrupts the free mo
tious Of the chest, and enfeebles the
functions Of the Abdominal and thoracic
organs, andj in fact, unbalanccs the
whole muscular system. Many children
become slightly hump backed, or severe
ly round shouldered, by sleeping with
the head raised on high pillow; whed
any person finds it easier to sit or stand,
or sleep in crooked position than in 4
strait one such persons may be sure hia
muscular system is badly deranged, aud
the more careful he is to preserve d strait
or an upright position aud gets bidk to
noture again the better"

OsLY FIVE DOLLARs.

We have, owing TO the loss attending
collections, been compelled to make a
rule demanding cash-payments in ad-
vance for all advertisements of five dol
lars or under, except such as come from
regular advertisers. Another reason for
this change is that We desire to be saved
the accumulation OF a mass of petty se-
counts which demands a great deal OF
clerical labor, and entails ultimately
very great loss. Societies and others
having transient advertising viii please
take notice of this and assist Us in
our efforts to bring our business
to a cash basis. The APPEAL weekly
and daily is now beyond any doubt the
best advertising medium in the State or
in the southwest, exceeding all or any
of its contemporaries in circulation.
Merchants should make note Of this,
and when they would speak to the pub
lie concerning their business, do so
through our columns, feeling certain of
a larger audience than any other paper
can secure them.

CoRTNTlI, MISS. August Il, 1873.
EDITORS APPEALING, the under

ton of the coroner's jury, have read an
article published in the Avalanche Of the
tenth, headed, Diamonds and DEATH"
relative to the assassination of Dr. r. T..
Dunn, of Corinth, ga Woman Mixed
up in the Case" etc, and knowing the
same to be false, and believing the same
to have been published by some unprin-
eipled person, with the mali
cious intent to injure and defame
the character of a respected
citizen who has been most cowardly
murdered, and with intent, perhaps, to
place the authorities upon a wrong
scent, and to prejudice the minds of the
public against the deceased, we hereby
pronounce each and every allegation in
regard to said article as false, not one
word of evidence pointing to any such
stated facts having been elected, nor has
there been even current report of the
kind upon the street. The public viii
be informed of the cause, and furnished
with an outline of the facts as soon as
the jury has finished the investigation.

Like Louisiana and Florida. South

and aliens. Moses, the governor, now
occupies the Preston mansion in Colum-
bia, one of the finest dwellings in the
city, presented TO him, it is said, by
f'interested'' friends in New York.
These interested friends are bankers and
brokers, holders of the fraudulent bonds,
amounting to seven millions Of dollars,
issued by the carpetbaggers and "de-
velopers," and as they intend 10 make a
desperate effort before the next legis-
lature to force the passage of an ACT
validating these bogus securities, they
are putting bribes where, in the Language
of a distinguished congressional thief,
they will do the most good. The good

How he BIufed and BiIked his Law
yer-The American Prisoners
at Garry.

MINNEAPoLIs, MINI, August H.
A Tribune special, yesterday, from Ft.
Garry, SAYS that this evening Mr. Corn
ish. Lord Gordon's counsel, accompa-
MED by other gentlemen, waited upon
his Iordship regarding pecuniary mat
ters. The latter demanded the reason
for so untimely a visit, and after an ex-
PLANTATION he became engaged IN an ex-
cited alteration with his counsel, ano
each Of them expressed bis opinion quite
freely of the other, which, TO say tne
least of it, was not fiattering 70 either.
His lordship shortly called his servant TO
advise Mr.. Cornish to make his exit.
The latter needed the advice, but called
again the next morning TO renew hls
claim for some security for his anticl-
mated fee as counsel, but found that his
bird had flown. UPon inquiry he found
that Gordon was then well on his
way to the Rocky mountains. A
party Just arriving here from the west
today, reports having seen the pretty
bird two hundred miles westward.
United States Consul Taylor was
serenaded Friday by the military band
ofFsrt Garry, and three cheers given by
those assembled. The consul responded
with a brief speech.
In the decoration OF the courthouse
for the bazaar, in a spirit Of courtesy to
the American citizens the stars and
stripes were suspended side by side with
the British flag. Upon the entrance OF
Attorney-General Clark, beholding the
terrible disgrace Of the emblem of his
alteration, in virtuOus indignation be
ordered the ladies in charge to haul
down that flag. No ohe 0beyed his
command, and he retired with dropping
feathers.

TIE Frisrs Point Miss DeItd hopes,
for the sake Of peace in the Republican
party, that neither Ames nor Powers will
be nominated as the Republican can
didate for the Office of governor. 1t
says that Ames's friends have villIfied
Powers so shamelessly that Powers's ad-
herents will never vote for Ames. The
same facts may affect the conduct Of
Ames's admirers, and since concessions
are impossible, il is only possible to re-
store harmony and assure perfect Re
publican triumph, by uniting upon a
new man. The Delta further proposes
to support a ticket having on it "four
colored and three white men, and the
colored man at the hesd.n 1t designates
the following negroes, among others, as
eminently lit for the governors place:
"Colonel Bruce, Hon. II. r. Revels,
Charles Caldwell, Robert Gleed, DR..
Sdnger, DIR. Boulden, and Colonel Sam
J. Ireland" Finally, says the Delta,
Ames is not a citizen of Mississippi, q
fact known to the United States senate,
and even his wife would not cooperate
with him in the attempt to make the
people believe that he intended to live
in NGtcheZ.
