A dry goods man, who h well
known for his politeness, has father
who is an excellent citizen, but not q
very smooth talker. They were so
busy at the store Saturday afternoon
that the old gentleman was called in
to help. Among tie customers was 8
young lady who appeared to be wait
ing to trade with him whose elderly
appearance invited her confidence.
Soon an opportunity offered, and lean
ing over the counter as an invitation
for him to do the same, she whispered
her order. He bent closer to her, and
said, "What's that ?" in voice that
started the perspiration to her fore
head. Again she whispered. 30,
elastic :" said he in tone that could
be heard on the walk, and looking
much pleased with his success. "What
kind of elastic ?'' he added, bending
his head closer to the burning face CT
the perspiring maiden. Once more
she tremblingly whispered. "For gar
ters, hey ?" he repeated, even louder
than before, without noticing the hOr.
ror-struck expression of the almost
fainting young lady, "SOmething fan
cy, SUPPOSE he went on to say, in
happy oblivion of the store full of peO-
Pile "young people nowadays want
things nice. My old woman uses a
shoe string, and sails around without
noticing the difference" Then he got
down with the box, and turned around
to show it, but the customer was gone.
He stood around with the elastic some
five minutes in waiting, but she did
not return, and it is likely he has for
gotten all about the circumstance now.

Among the many useful inventions
OF modern days, none deserves to rank
higher than an ingenious little ma
chine just Invented by an American
in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. 1t
is called "the business mans bore
abater'' and its action is simple and
effeetual. 1t consists of a button tor
pedo, with patent nitro-glycerine
back-actiOn attachment, that can be
worn on the coat like an ordinary
button, which it resembles in appear
ance. When the bore seizes the
"abater" it instantly explodes, shiver-
ing hand his into million pieces, and
blowing him around the corner into
the next street. The inventor, it is
stated, has already received orders for
all he can manufacture for two wears
to come. A machine on the same
principle, so constructed as to present
the appearance of a door-handle,
would be very useful to Ministers of
State when about to receive deputa-
tions and for domestic purposes, such
as receiving applicants for.charitable
donations, rate collectors, and other
visitors Of this description. A 'shouse-
holders abater" fixed on the front
door would be an immense success.

lie of the accursed actions of the Metro
politan police sent here by Lieutenant
Governor Antoine, during the absence
of Kellogg On Saturday night last the
house OF one of the most respectable
widow ladies on Red River, near this
place, was fired into, the doors broken
open, and the unfortunate lady and her
daughter of seventeen summers were
taken out, aud, horrible to relate, viola
ted Neither Of the ladies could be found
till late Sunday afternoon An infant,
eighteen months old, and grand child OF
Elk Governor Wells, was found out in e
road some half mile from the house, id
near the spot where the foul deed was

Of the lady and child of Mumford Wells,
the oldest son of Ex-Governor Mat

it was the soldiers, and we all believe =
they were not the perpetrato they m
stIgated the negroes to the holrb.o deed
lof infamy. 1t is said here taat when
Colonel Selkyne was informed OF the
outrage, he smiled and said his troops
were up here for higher purpose than
arresting men for such petty ol!ense
Antoine is believed to have sent these
creatures up here to give the negroes a
chance of revenge; and one told the
writel that he had Il right now, under the
protection Of the United States, to shoot
any white man he wanted TO shoot, and
to violate any woman he met j said to
him that these were State troops, and not
United States troops. He replied that
the colonel had said at negro ball the
night before that he wanted all the col
orcd people to come and see him that
now they could do as they pleased, as
they were under the. protection Of his
soldiers.
