sP1RrruALIs,r Useful.

One reason why people who have no
faith in SpiritualiSm disregard its claims to
authority is that they see no evidence of its
usefulness. They argue that it adds moth
ing to the morality, wealth or intellectual
strength of the community. In its teach
ing it lameiy initiates the Christianity it
would supersede. In is revelations it
mas dozen glaring mistakes before it
itappens to show M, significant facts. In
its manifestations il enIy dops bunsiingly
what the, juggier does veil, sueh Is ~. We
pith OF the arguments brought against 1t.
But scepticism must yield 1T last. A fact
was narrated at the annual needing o. the
Indiana State Association Of Spiritualists
last week, which must convince the
most incredulOus that Spirtualism is
blessing. One of the speakers
said that recently while travelling he saw
on the car man whom the conductor was
about to put off at small station whe:e
the unfortunate would probably have died
from exposure. In the very act he was re-
strained. BY the side of the stranger he
saw the spirit of a woman whom he sup
posed to be his wife. He hesitated, then
asked: ''Did you lose your wife three years
ago?" The reply was affirmative. The
spirit looked appealingly. The man was
carried to tie next station. And now if
people want to travel dead-head onthe rail-
road, ghostly companion may prove use
full, unless railroad companies should order
that conductors must not take spirits on
the trains

SinfuI Siftings.

5. Levi was called upon yesterday morn
ing in the police court to explain away the
charge of assault and battery, which was
written opposite his name, and RObt. Wal
Ter was allowed an opportunity of re-
peating the precise language he had adj
dressed to Mr.. Levi, and which resulted in
his being hit a couple of times by that in
dividual. The testimony went to show
that colored boy in the en-
ploy Of Waller had purchased a
pair of boots at Lewis store,
at price Waller considered extortionate
and so expressed himself in Lewis hearing.
The latter thereupon charged him with be-
ing a runner for a rival house, ordered him
out ofthe store, and upon his refusal to go,
struck him twice. Levi was fined five dol
lars and Waller was discharged
William FarlesS, the young man who
shot Mollie Williams Saturday night, was
fined ten dollars for firing pistol inside
the corporation, and was then discharged
for want of prosecution.

The Jackson Wig and Tribune of the
22dIsays: "OR last Sunday night four men
entered by force the residence of Jonce
Young, near McNairy station, and demand
ed the person Of John Raspberry, colored.
Before entering the house several shots
were fired into the door, which was finally
broken down, and the negro, alarmed and
terrified, crept under the floor and had there
secreted himself. One of the murderers,
however. informed Mrs. Young that herhus-
band would answer as well as the negro and
plainly intimated that unles the negro was
found, that Young's life would be taken;
thereupOn she disclosed the hiding place OF
the negro, and the murderers procuring a
lantern went outside the house, shot under
the floor, and wounded the negro until he
cried out that if they would not kill him
under the floor he would come out, which
he did. He had no sooner gained the
ground outside than he was perforated with
balls. ThenegrO had had difficulty few
days before with Robert ManeSs, re-
spectacle citizen of the county, in which
Maness alleged that the negro had assaulted
him with club, which he resisted by
woUnding the negro with two pistol shots
A cOroner'S inquest failed toelicit sufficient
testimony to "spOt" the murderers, and it
may remain wTapt in mystery"

WeStmoreland, convicted of the murder of
- Emberlin, was conducted from the
Jail to the court room, were he was to re-

crowd had gathered to witness the
scene. WeStmoreland took his seat inside
the bar, and appeared calm and unmoveG.
Judge Key addressed the prisoner, refer
ring to the deed for which he is TO be pun
ished. The manner of address, though
sympathetic and mingled with feeling was
nevertheless decidedly firm. Afterthe pre-
liminary remarks were made, he command
ed the prisoner to stand and receive the
sentence Of de.th, to be executed Jan. 8,
1874. This he did, still remaining cool and
unmoyed. Every one in the court room
was moved more than the prisoner While
going from the courthouse back to the Jail,
he remarked to the guard that he guessed
he could suffer the punishment that many
others before him had received

Ambitions SpOrtsTnen.

Unlucky amateur fishermen who visit
the bayous and lakes over the river, find it
convenient to purchase strings of fish from
colored residents of Hopeield, and for the

Advice to LaIlOrers.

To the Union and Americana
Many of our labOrers, who have lost their
employment, are complaining of hard
times. Complaining and finding fault do
not alleviate the cares and troubles of life,
nor meet current expenses. If unforeseen
public calamities have deprived us of
good paying job, let us look diligently for
some sort of a situation and accept it. no
matter if it does pay less, Why should we
not initiate the Yankee? If he cannot earn
a dollar per day, he keeps his good humor
and takes half-dollar for some lob, look
ing out the while for a better one. Many
shops in town are obliged to discharge
hands; but let it be far from us
to be cast down. Let us keep wide awake,
and soon We shall find ourselves in good
employment. There is always some chance
work in our city, and if it be not Just the
kind that we like to do, still, it will supply
our daily wants. The work will not come
to us Of itself: We shall. in the present
emergency, have to keep a look out for it.
Let us knock at the many doors of our in
dustTy, and an entrance will be allowed.
Let us not hesitate to do so. 1t is honor
able to SOLICIT work, and under the present
circumstances men will not repel us harsh
~, bat will try to make room for us. Our
earnings might not procure us a fat
chicken every day; but never mind. we
can live for a time on meat and well-balled
bread. Let us economic. l will point
out a few rules by which to save many
pennies. Instead of paying to the retail
grocer twenty cents for peck of meal. go
a few steps further TO the mill and buy a
bushel of meal for sixty cents, and save
twenty cents. Instead of going to
market every morning and paying ten cents
per pound for meat, purchase it for four
cents from countrymen, who carry loads of
it through the streets during the day.
There are many other ways to save money,
and it takes only a little thought TO dis
cover them. BY frugal use of our means
we shall be able TO weather the storm of the
unsettled times. 5. L. SIGMAN.

CHEAP DISINFECTANTS.

One pound of green copperas, costing
seven cents, dissolved in one quart of wa
ter, poured down "a water closet, will eff
ffectually destroy the foulest smells. On
board ships and steamboats,, about hotels
and other places. there is nothing so nice
to purify the air. Simple green copperas
dissolved under the bed in anything that
will hold water will render a hospital, or
any other place for the sick free from I'M
pleasant smells. Fol butchers stalls, fish
markets, slaughter houses, sinks, andWhere
there are offensive, putrid gases, dissolve
copperas and sprinkle it about, and in afew
days the smell will pass away. If a cat,
rat or mouse dies about the house andsendS
forth an offensive gas, place some dissolved
copperas in an open vessel near the place
where the nuisance is, land twill soonpurify
the atmosphere.

NO FIGHTING EDITOR REQUIRED.

A Western editor has put in practice a
plan which will enable all papers to dis
pense with the usual fighting member of
the staff. One morning he was waited Onby
the biggest kind of fellow, armed with a
terrific cudgel, with several and sundry
protuberances sticking out all around, mar
velously resembling Colts, Derringers, and
Bowies, who saluted him with, "Where's
that scoundrel, the editor?" Our friend
said, ale is not about; but please take a
seat and amuse yourself with a paper; he
will be in in few minutes" and hurried
down stairs, at the foot of which he met
another man still more pr0fane and fierce
who asked the same question in the same
language. '.Oh.' said the retreating editor,
'go up stairs; you will find him reading
the paper" Accordingly up he went, like
a steam engine, letting off steam at every
step. Our friend waited a minute, and
such a crash-slanl, bang, oath, curse, OBJ
urgation-asif Pandemonium was let loose.
What the result was was never known, as
our friend didn't wait.

"a Fashionable Young Lady on Her
TravQlse

Under this heading the Louisville Cone
mercidL tells of the adventures of a stylish
woman mailing from Memphis, and calling
herself Clara RemSen. The Commercial
says:
She had considerable baggage with her,
and seemed to have plenty of money, as
she was in the habit of taking rides about
the city daily, and spent considerable in
the way of dry goods, notions, etc, redui-
site for a fashionable lady to appear in
public She was decidedly good-looking,
and attracted great deal of attention, eS-
peciaily from shop-keepers and young gen
tlemen, who had heard through some source
or other, that she was an heiresS, or laid
claim to large amount Of property in
Cuba, through the death Of relative.
a certain young man living i'll the
Western district was so infatuated with
her, or her anticipated fortune, that he has
during her stay been at her side constantly.
accompanying her to places of amusement,
and even loaning her small sums Of money
at various times, as her remlttances from
the South had been delayed. Her landlady,
with whom she boarded three weeks, told
her rather bluntly that she must seek other
quarters, as it was not her custom to board
people on their good looks alone. She
wanted something more substantial, and
didn't see why her bankercould not advance
the required amount. Miss II. was actually
compete i to leave part of her baggage as
security, and go to hotel. Here she gave
out that her funds were so tied up that she
could not use them until she heard from
her bankers, and that she had expended a
large sum for a charitable purpose. This
story was the means of fine room being
placed at her disposal, but unfortunately it
leaked out that she was saverse to paying
out money for anything if she could posi-
blv avoid it, and the landlord, coming to
the conclusion that she was travelling Oh
her good looks, politely requested her to
leave. He allowed her to take her baggage

hotels, and succeeded better than
she at first anticipated, getting her
board at a greatly reduced figure. The last
one she stopped at, however, she had the
temerity to order a champagne supper for
select party, which upset all her plans for
the future and dispelled her Cuba story.
The bill for this supper amounted to quite
a sum, which is still on the books of the
hotel against her. The landlordperemptorily
ordered her to leave. Her baggage washed
as security until such time as she could
nav the amount. She took what she could
carry in a small pormanteau and left for
Jacksonville. since which time her where

The RI0O.IK Knife.

A colOred youth, whose name is sup
pressed by special request, became engaged,
yesterday afternoon, in dispute with Jim
Brown, also colored, who keeps an eating
house on Cedar street near Cherry. Brown
finally struck the former onthe head, when
the young man drew pocket-knife and
stabbed him in the back in two different
places. He then turned and ran up Cedar
to Summer street, and was crossing from
Summer to Union street when he was in
tercepted and arrested by officer Davis. A
large crowd assembled and followed the Of
ficer and his prisoner to the stationhouse,
to which place Brown was afterward
brought. His wounds bled freely, but they
are evidently not of dangerous character.
