Presence of Mind.

1t is good thing, says the Detroit
Free Pess, to know what do when
man faints away and falls down in the
street. AS pedestrian fell down on
Monroe avenue yesterday, being just off
sick bed, and it was wonderful how
many men in the crowd knew cxac tly
What was the best thing to do. One
called for brandy, another waved the
crowd back, another shouted "police"
and Coroner" fourth brought buck
ct of water from a saloon, and all the
others crowded in as closely as possible,
and began wondering if the man had
his life insured. Some wanted to throw
water on the victim, and others thought
that his boots ought to be removed, and
the man with the slop pail fell down in
it and jumped up and kicked at lame
boy. Two boys were sent for doctor,
but didn't so, and markes woman
crowded in and told them to raise the
mans head. Some one put brick
under his neck, and another general
call was made for whiskey, camphor, gin
soda pop root beer, ginger, ale vinegar,
water and lager. Nothing was brought,
and after few minutes the man opened
his eyes, gave his name, and asked to be
taken homo After he had departed a
doctor arrived, coroner came putting
along, and the crowd came near havin.,
fight as to who was entitled to the
honor of saving the man's life.

A colorcd man living on Macomb

of his acquaintance, the other day, and
asked him to write the lady letter

Advice to MarriageablR Girls.

"Girls," said worthy olSlady to hor
grand daughters, "whenevar fellow

a girl found the ab6ye in news
paper, and determined to act upon the
suggestion contained therein. She had
tried many other plans to capture the
wary, fuzzled Tipped youths, aud had
failed. AS last desperate resort, She
would try the furniture business. So
when the young man whom she was
angling for dropped in to see her the
other evening, she received him with
smiles and lurcd him along in the con
versation up tc what she considered the
popping point.
She held the bait tcmptingly before
his eyes, and he opened his mouth and
said

feelings of the highest regard for you.

herself across the room into his lap, aud

vociferated:

The astonished youth, partly recover
ing his senses, strove to racify the
excited girl, aud find out what was the
matter with her.
AS he soothed her, she held tighter
to him, and between her sighs whisper
ed of love and furniture. Suspicioning
that he had been misunderstood, the
young man said
"Angcline, calm yourself. You didn't
hear me, through. l was about to ask if

PHILADELPHIA.

PHILADELPHIA, March ia
shocking and brutal murder, the re-
suit of intemperance, was commit
ted last night at PA Reeves street.
4 man named Clark who had been
on Il spree for nearly a whole week,
returned home late at night. Pro-
curing an axe, he went to the second
story, front room, where his wife lay
asleep in the same bed with her
mother, and, it is supposed, enraged
ut having been arrested, he struck
the sleeping woman in the head
with the axe, beating out ber brains
and producing almost instant death.
He then went out of the house to
get more liquor and, the alarm be-
ing given, he was secured and taken
into custody before he had commit
ted further bloodshed. The scene OF
the sickening tragedy attracted large
crowds of people to the house. Mrs.
Clark leaves several children.
A fire broke out this afternoon at
IA Second street, in the building oc-
cupied by c.. Stethear, Carpets and
On-Cloths. The fire department
were quickly on the ground, and
succeeded in confining the fire to the
building in which it originated. The
loss will probably be about $4,000.
