A Hickory Fee.

Drury Hudson, of Greensburg, is a
lawyer, and amiable gentleman. In the
discharge of his professional duties,
some days since it became necessary for
him ON behalf of one of his clients to in
st1tute suit for the recovery of a dozen
or more hogs, which a certain woman
had taken into possession and confined
in a pen. Under process of the court
the hogs were taken by an officer and by
him delivered to the owner. This ex-
cited the wrath of the woman, and it
seemed especially directed against Hud-
son. He, however, was in blissful ig-
norance of the condition of affairs until
Saturday last. About the hour of one
in the afternoon he was standing in the
store of Mr.. Chelf, engaged III the con
versation, when the aforesaid woman
entered. Looking around the room,
her eyes fell on the stately form of the
attorney. Her cheeks grew pale, her
eyes flashed, and she verify "went for
him. In her hand she carried a switch
of no small proportions. "You are the
man [ wish to see," was her exclama-
ton, and with that she commenced lay
ing On in due and ancient form. So
much overcome by surprise, Drury for a
moment submitted, but the blows con-
tinued to fall with singing effect on his
neck and face, he caught her hands and
seated her in a chair, asking her at the
same time to state her grievance. Her
only answer was, "You are no friend of
mine" Drury has been living in con-
slant alarm since, and vows to sue no
more women.-Coiuna6ia (Ry.) Spec

The London Poor.

A reporter OF a London paper recent
ly paid a visit to n of the large old
buildings in that city Thai is let to fam
lies OF worthy poor people who use the
apartments for homes and work shops.
He found a building containing seventy
four rooms, having, on an average, four
occupants. One room was rented to a
dock laborer who was out of work. His
wife and daughter were supporting the
family by making the uppers of carpet
slippers. By working early and late
they were able to make a dozen and a
half in a day, for which they received
three and a half pence a dozen. A
widow and two children made the sticks
for lucifer matches, and for their Joint
labor received three shillings per week.
One old woman earned her support by
making wooden skewers for meat. for
which she received eight pence per
thousand, a part of which went for
wood to make them. The shavinps
were her only fuel. Her furniture was
a broken chair and an old table. A
knife, milestone, a cup without a saucer
and a teapot constituted the remaining
articles in the room. Her only food was
UIcdo ANU eea- several women We're
found sewing umbrella covers, for
which they received ten pence per
dozen. Many of the men In this build
ing sifted cinders for the use of brick
burners, by which mean they earned
ten pence per day. Few of them had a
change of clothing. and none had means
to support themselves more than forty
eight hours.

AMERICAN Corn FOR ExPoRT.-The
Pittsburgh Commercial says the low
price of corr in the United States seems
to have created a large foreign demand
for the staple insteado of wheat. Accord
ing to a late report of the Bureau of
Statistics, there was exported 81, 931, 2S2
bushels for the fifteen months ending
Sept. 80, 1872, against 10,441, TIC bush-
els for the corresponding period to Sept,
80, 1871; while Of wheat there was ship
ped As, 961 1855 bushels for the fifteen
months ending Sept. 30, 1871, against
36, 872, 712 bushels ia the similar period
to Sept. Both last year. The difference
in the present rates of wheat and cor is
considerably greater than it was during
the period to which these statistics re-
fer, and it is probable that the present
summer will show a still larger increase
III the foreign consumption of the latter
important breadstuff staple.

HOW NO oomm1r su1c1pE

For the benefit of all young ladies who contem-
late suicide, we present the following as one of the
lost fashionable and certain methods OF accom-
fishing that end Il.
Surely it never did amissi
A thing so simple and so pLdin
Ooulo never much have given pain.
Hold, sir, you do not NOV me well
Have patience, and I'll briefly tell.
AS harmless as / seem to be. a..
I'm OF q murderous pedigree.
Pride is my fathers hated name,
And Cruelty my angry dame;
I'm courted by my lady fair,
Who prizes me with tender care.
1 visit in her dressing-room
And sleep amid her nice perfumes:
1 often on her toilet lay,
And doZe the lonesome night away-
No, more-in her caresses chaste,
She always binds me round her waist;
At home, abroad, afar, or near,
I'm her companion everywhere.
And though I am a wicked elf,
Delighting to amuse myself,
Sometimes, to give my mistress pain,
l almost squeeze her waist in twain.
Yet, strange to tell, the more she's squeezed.
The more she seemeth to be pleIsed.
That I'm an migrate is most clear,
BY such return for all this care.
l pluck away the lily fair,
And spread a livid paleness there;
l snatch with glee the rosy glow,
And let the sickly saffron grow.
1 blight the luster of her eyes,
And stain her orb with languid DIVES
That rosy archer called a smile.
1 strange ere it breathes while,
And plant diseases pungent smart
And like a vulture gnaw her heart:
My name, upon your mind indorse it
My gentle mistress calls me-CoRsET

THERE are no less than lat towns and
villages in the United States named for
George Washington, besides the Federal
Capital. 1t is curious to note the dis
tribution of these, and to account for
the difference in number in various
States. Seventeen States have one each,
namely: Maine, New Hampshire, YER
mont, Massachusetts,, Connecticut, New
York, Virginia, North Carolina, Geor-
gia, Michigan, Illinois, Kentucky, Wis
consin, Tennessee, Mississippi, Louis
lana, and Texas /; Alabama, 2; Arkansas,
3; Missouri, 4 New Jersey, 8; Penn
sylvania, 10; while Ohio has no less
than A, and Iowa, SO. Can any n
tell us the reason for this great prepon-
derance in the two latter States, which
is the more curious from the accidental
similarity in the names of the States
themselves.

weMAN,s LOVE.

-
II F. z. K.
The bright-eved happy little girl,
Aroundthe household hearth,
Delighted with the toy or curl,
Locks out upon the earth,
And thinks of naught but golden hours.
She loves the sun and rain,
The meads, the birds and fragrant flowers,
The waving fields OF grain.
Her simple heart is Allied with love,
And life's a sunny dream,
While all around, beneath, above,
Onfading pleasures seem.
Fond to parents and dear to all,
O joyful warbling soul,
Thy life is sweet, there is no gall,
HOW calm the moments roll.
Young womanhood upon her face
Has painted beauty rare
On every feature you can trace
What love has written there.
Upon her cheek s a modest blush
When e'er a certain name,
In jest is whispered near. But, hush,
Tis not the blush of shame.
And from the fair and thoughtful brow,
And through the glistening tears,
As she utters the sacred vow,
Shines forth the love she bears,
For him whose life her own shall be.
With wOman's devotion,
Her love so pure, so firm and free,
She'll cross the wide ocean,
Or on the speedy rafting car,
Go with her muck loved groom
To unknown regions, distant far
From childhood's happy home.
From parental care departed,
And far from dearest friends,
Woman, true and noble hearted,
Mans steps in love attends.
She guides him through the ills of life
In paths he'd ne'er have trod;
And from the storm of worldly strife
She leads him to his God.

by a key, and they entered. A man lay

He was disposed of as easily as the 9TH

POLICE CoURT.-i'here were but two
cases before this Court yesterday morn.
ing,
Phil. Sheridan-not the celebrated
General of that name, he wouldn't do
such thipg-was arrested for commit
ting a nuisance in the Second Ward
Market house, On Tuesday morning.
This filthy practice has become so COM
mon that Judge Rodgers has deternin-
ed to break it up, so he fined Sheridan
$40 and the costs or thirty days on the
chain gang. This is right, and the
Judges action will be endorsed by every
respectable citizen. The market hou-
SEES must be kept clean, and when men
who have no regard for decency or for
the rights OF others commit nulsances
in them, the penalty should be so heavy
that they will not 20 back the Sec
ond time. We'll guarantee now, that
after Sheridan has finished his thirty
days labor on the chain gang he'll find
some other place for his purpose than
the market houses.
Henry Kern was found, on Tuesday
evening, very drunk, holding up the
Market street corner Of the Mcclure
House. He was so sure that something
would fall il he lett there that he could
hardly be induced to leave his position,
