Police CoURr-There were two
cases before this court on Sturdsy, both
for the same offence. One stuck and
the other didn't.
George Thompson aud George Geller
were down on Water street Friday even
iug. The sight OF the rushing and swell
ing waters gave them stickling sensation
in the throat. They adjourned to a
reighhcring saloon aud wet their whis-
ties. and then gazed again. Thus they
alternately gazed and smiled and smiled
and gazed until they ran out OF smiles.
Then Thompson became glum and
moody aud qusrrelsome. He wound up
bv becoming very disorderly and getting
arrested. The two Georges looked
penitent when before His Honor on Sat-
urday. Thompson was fined S. and costs
and Geller was discharged no offence

Tn, sr.,xE ENpEp-The strike Q

TIE Strike ENDED-The strike Of
the printers Of this city has ended. as
all those who could see an inch beyond
their noses knew 1t must end, in the
total disruption Of Wheeling Typogra-
phical Union No. 70. The strike was
ordered bys dictatofial and tyranical
majority who over-rode the protests Of
Q conservative minority of nine out Of
twenty-five members, and in defiance Of
the law OF the International Typo.
graphical Unior which requires that all
differences between employers and
employees shall be settled BY arbitration
if possible. The men who forced the
strike knew they were in the wrong.and
of course refused to listen to reason. The
result We have given. At the meeting
held ON Saturday night the Union was
dissolved aud the charter surrendered.
Another warning to workmen never to
attempt to force proprietors or emp.
lovers into measures until after all hon.
orable means looking to q compromise
and settlement have failed. The prin-
tiers who little over q week ago had
good situations and were supporting
their families in good style are now
wandering from place to place earning
less wages than they were paid here be
fore the strikes compelled to support
their families here and themselves
abroad. The usual result Of folly is
misery.

same county, this was actually done, with
fatal results; for the man had died of ty-
phoid fever, which was in this way con
municated to several living persons. A
ring made of the hinge of coffin,
and rusty old sword hung by
the bedside, are lin some districts)
charms against the cramp; headache is
removed by the halter that has hung a
criminal, and also by snuff made from
moss that has grown on human skull in
a grave yard. A dead mans hand, and
especially the hand of a man who had
been cut down while hanging, dispels
tumors. Warts may be removed by rub
bing them with bit of stolen beef; the
chips of a gallows, worn in a little bag
round the neck, will cure the ague; a
stone with a hole in it, suspended at the
beds head, will prevent nightmare. Many
verses are known, which, if repeated aloud,
are credited with curing cramp, burns and
other bodily troubles. When you have the
whooping- cough, apply for a remedy to
the hrst person you meet with riding on
pie-bald horse-a ceremony that DIR.
Lettsom, the physician, was tated more
than once to become acquainted with.
Amulets hung in little bag round the
neck are very widely credited with the
power of warding off disease; the list of
such substances is an ample one, but need
not be given here. The anodyne necklace,
which was profitable affair foI one DR..
Turner in the early part of the present
century, consisted of beads made of white
bryony root; it was believed to assist in
cutting the teeth of infants around whose
neck it was hung. One peculiar kind of
amulet is the phylactery, bit of parch-
ment on which few sacred words have
been written; if worn on the person it is
a safeguard against disease and calamity.
The Jews in the East used to carry such
an amulet written with Hebrew verse
from the Bible, and some of the Moham-
medans with sentence from the Koran.

Boy Training.

WHY should we teach our boy that he
is to be a mere whistling, rOmping, tear
ing member of the household, while his
sisters or women servants work around
him from weary chime to chime? 1t is
not necessary to define the limits, 'thus
far shalt thou go and no farther" Every
thoughtful mother can adapt her instruc-
tons to the need, or to the strength and
dizziness of her boy. Why should he not
make his own bed at times? Harry, Miss
Edgeworth's Harry, in Harry and Lucy"
used to do it, and, what was more, to the
best of my recollection, his father showed
him how! A very picture of manly
boy he was, growing up evidently to be a
Guy Lussac or a Prince Rupert of our
day. Why should the boy leave his room
a bowling wilderness of boots and bats
and inky pocket handkerchiefs, If he
be made occasionally to set it to rights
himself, he will at least have an intelli-
gent comprehension, another time, of the
cost of the confusion. Teach him all the
little cOnventiOnalisms, how to depOrt him
self before his elders, and the courtesy he
owes to ladies, old and young, but teach
him, also, why he is better fitted to carry
home the heavy basket than SOphy, the
servant maid, and when he should lend a
helping hand to women, young or old.
We hear a great deal of imperfect sympa-
tllSS, HOW dudyS, as d SOTt Vi UlttCl
in the cup of wedd-d life. These imper-
feet sympathies are charged, generally,
we believe, to the account of the mascu-
line race. Tones of poetry and heca-
tombs of bleeding hearts are laid
to the charge of this new disorder.
The disillusions of married life!
Shall we lay all the blame on our
grown-up boys? When the cara sposa
discovers that the cakes and caramels of
courtship are succeeded by tough butch
ers' bills and sloppy servant maids; when,
after the days fret and worry is over, her
dear Charles lends hear an Indifferent ear,
and is surprised that she is so very used
up and complaining, we must go back, not
only to ClOthilde's childhood, but to that
of Charles, as we'll. She may or may not
have the cook book by heart; but very
sure he is ignoran. as wild Indian of
the cost of the home He may foot it up,
in dollars and cents. it is true; but of the
forces, the physical labor, the executive
energy, the moral balance required to
keep all things even, he has not the re-
motest idea. Teach him, then, o mother
of rompng Charlie, before that possible
daughter in-law comes upon the scene,
that fine sense of fitness and order, that
intelligent observance of the household
machinery, that will make him charita-
Die and helpful in season, and sympathetic
