to bore out the eyes of the needles, asked for
readily given, and, with smile, he placed it
at once under the boreing machine, turned

it with thread, and then handed the singu-
lar needle to the astonished king.

A Southern Shad Bake.

Build roaring fire, says 8 cores pondent writing from Augusta, Ga, in a roomy fireplace that may be cut down in the clayey soil of any hillside. Shad of the mornings catch had already been prepared in the incest manner, cleaned inside and out, and fine salt rubbed on them. Then take seasoned oak blanks, three inches through, fourteen inches wide, and as long as the hunger of the party demands. When the wood has burned to coals, and the bank of the fire place has been wrought up to the roasting pitch, these blanks are placed against the fire and heated to the point of burning. On the smooth hot plank the shad are spread and nailed. They are then stood up around the coals and the hot bank, and baked-baked just to the nicety, the outside and inside brown and crisp, without being smoked or burnt. The fish are served at the river side piping hot, and washed down with the juice of the native scupper- nong. The clam-bakes of New England pale their intellectual fires before plank shad-bake One writer, who has just been initiated, holds that it will be a great consolation on the death-bed to say: "I die, but I have had shad- bakeo

Killing His Playmate for a Marble.

On Tuesday of last week. says 8 Lynchburg, Va, paper, a negro girl, aged 4 years, was missed from her home, and night coming on, herparents became uneasy about her, and search of the woods and fields was begun, until soon after daylight on Friday morning, her dead body was found in field some distance from her fathers house. An examination of the body was made, and it soon became evident she had been murdered, her head being beaten almost to jelly. Near by the body lay small stick, some seven feet in length, cover ed with blood and hair, showing that this was the weapon used by the mur- derer. A Coroner's jury assembled at 3 o'clock on Friday afternoon, and after viewing the body the testimony was commenced. It soon became manifest that the murder vsas committed by a negro boy named Jesse Penn, who is only about seven years of age. The boy was sent for and confessed the mur- der, giving as a motive for the deed the fact that the girl was the owner of a white marble which she would not give to him, and he killed her to get posses sion of it. The youthful murderer show ed no signs of remorse for the bloody deed he had perpetrated, and gave no indications of fear of punishment for it. The jury returned verdict in accor- dance with the facts above detailed, but in consideration of the boys extreme youth, and also of his imbecility, he was ordered to be discharged.

The Dry Goods Business.

The New York Bulletin, in it's review of the dry goods market, says the movement in all descriptions is quiet !; also that the commission houses dealing in domestic cottons are unusually dull, and there is manifest determination on the part of jobbers to purchase only from hand to mouth. The agents for woolen manufacturers look upon the season for light weight goods as being over, and their energies are now bent upon the distribution of fall styles of cassimeres and coatings to the clothing trade, and their efforts in this direction are meeting with fair measure of suc- cess. As to foreign goods the Bulletin says:
 There has been 8 noticeable improve ment in the city retail trade within the last few days, and if the present fine weather should continue an improved inquiry for certain fabrics which have been sluggish hitherto is almost certain. No branch of the trade has suffered more from the backwardness of the sea- son than white goods, and the opera tions of the city retailers in these fab rics have been light up to this time but there IS already an improved feel ing and freer distribution of Victoria lawns, organdies and other muslins, as well as embroideries.

The Wedding Finger.

Much has been said and written about the wedding ring, but the more lovely part engaged in the mystic matter, the taper residence of this ornament, has been neglected. Now this is rather curious, as there are facts which belong to the ring finger which render it in peculiar manner an appropriate emblem of matrimonial union. It is the only finger where two principal nerves be- long to two distinct trunks the thumb is supplied with its principal nerves from the radial nerve, as is also the fore finger, the middle finger, and the thumb side of the ring finger, while the ulnar nerve furnishes the little finger and the other side of the ring finger, at the point or extremity of which real union takes place. It seems as if it were intended by nature to be the matrimonial finger. That the side of the ring finger next the little finger is supplied by the ulnar nerve, is frequently proved by com mon accident, that of striking the elbow against the edge of chair, door, or any narrow, hard substance the ulnar
 nerve is then frequently struck, and a thrilling sensation is felt in the little finger, and on the same side of the ring finger, but not on the other side of it.

Another Fool and a Gun.

Familiar as household word or a thrice-told tale is the story of 8 tragedy in Vermilion county, Indiana. Miss Maggie Thompson, an amiable and very attractive young lady, was visiting some relatives named Anderson in Helt town ship. Lewis Anderson, a ''smart" young gentleman, was syklarking about his cousin Maggie, half love-making and half-romping, when he picked up an old rife standing in the corner and pointed it at her. Young Anderson assumed that the gun was not loaded ; indeed, he was quite sure of it. But he was mistaken. The gun fred the first time, and Miss Thompson was fatally wounded. An derson, as amatter of course, was great ly mortified at the occurrence, and was willing to make any apology.
