A Lucky Baby.

A Mrs. King had q surprise al
Shawneetown, ILL.,, the other day.
1t was an accident that Mrs. King
happened to be at Shawneetown.
She did not intend to 90 there, but
the steamboat jennie Howell, on
which she was travelling, struck a
snag and sunk in the Ohio river.
Several of the passengers were
drowned, and among them some
children. Mrs. King had a child on
board whom she mourncd as lost,
and was taken to Shawnectown
without her babe. The Jennie
Howell sunk deep in the water, and
the next morning men went to the
vessel TO recover the bodies of the
lost. Soon after daylight mattress
was discovered floating in the cabin,
which was filed with water nearly
10 the ceiling. Upon examination
a child, a little boy, was discovered
on the mattress sleeping as peace
fully as II nothing unusual had nap
poncd. His bed was not very dry,
for it had sunk great deal from
soaking, but still sustained its liv-
ing freight. In due time the child
was sent to Shawneetown, where
the other passengers had been land
ed the evening before. Its coming
made excitement among the wreck
ed travellers, for more than one
mother had lost children by the DIS
aster. 1t was q touching scene
when Mrs. King recognized the
child as her boy whom she had
mournod as lost for nearly twenty
four hours. The preservation Of
Moses in the bulrushos was not SO
miraculous as the safety of Mrs.
Kings boy. llo had been tossing
about on the waste Of waters in the
cabin all night, and was brought to
his mother alive in the hour of her
deepest afiliction.-[ Missouri RepaJ-

A SNAKE STORY.
How a Negro Turned SOmnambu-
list and Ran Away With
aSnake.

A wicked youth near the foot Of
Union street came near drowning
I'm old country negro, who was
found asleep yesterday afternoon
in the hot sunshine on q cotton
bale. One of these curiously life
like, disgusting 10Y snakes was las-
tened TO the button-holc Of the ne
groos brccches, the head Of the
snake being inserted beneath the
waistband. The negro was arous-
ed by an exploding irecracker. lie
looked around, rubbing his eyes,
and then looked steadily for n mo-
ment at the snake. Sambo was
evidently curious rs to the snakes
purposes. At length he slowly
moved his hand toward the snakes
body, and then suddenly brushed
it away. II was fastened with an
elastic string, and came back at the
negro with its mouth open and eyes
glaring, and tail lashing the ar from
right to left. II anybody doubts
whether that negro fed, let him go
and see the marks. The hollow of
his foot made holes in The ground.
He cleared twenty cotton-DaIes at
as many successive flying leaps.
He snorted, and lodged, and howl
ed, at every leap. The snake de-
scribcd circuits in the air, and coil
cd itself beautifully about the ne
groes head. His cyeballs protrud-
ed till they might have been knock
ed out with Il board brought down
pcrpcndlculally. At each leap the
frightened negro yelled, and shrick-
ed, and roared. AT last he fell in.
the mad effort to descend the bluff.
He rolled, and fell seemingly life
less at its base. The young man
who tied the wooden or paper snake
to the tcrror.stricken negro, was
himself frightened beyond measure.
lie remembered the story in the
APPEAL of the morning telling OF
the thoughtIess rccklessness OF
those who cnlivcned, even unto
death, a haplcss negro, by anoint-
ing HIM with spirits of terpentine,
and setting him ahamo. But our
hero Of the snake-story wasn't dead
- only brcathless. lie soon came
round. The snake had disappeared
and the youth who served the poor
heather the scurvy trick made him
believe that it was all a dream, and
that Cufieo had only been playing
the role Of somnambulist who did
some very " tall waIlling."-Mom-

/. Treat them as partners with
you. Give them to understand that
they arc interested in the success
of the farming operations as much
as you are yourself.
2. Converse freely with them.
Get their opinions, and give them
yours. If at all prudent, make use
of their plans, and when you think
your own best, explain to them why
you do not adopt theirs. Don't
keep them altogether in the dark

Cowhiding Each Others Hus-

Messrs. Harrison g. Camp have
been partners in a small jcwelry
business on the south side of Fifth
street, west Of Walnut. They have
lately had q little business misun-
dorstauding, in which Mrs. Camp
has seen fit to take an active part,
much TO the disgust of Mr.. Uarri-
son, whose idea was that he and
his partner could settle their bust
ness affairs without the interference
Of the ladies'. Mrs. Camp, q largo
and strong woman, took exceptions
to some remarks of aisapprobation
of her course that Mr.. Harrison
made, and determined to be re-

and on yesterday noon, meeting
Mr.. Harrison on Fifth street, near
the store, proceeded to ply it over
his head, cutting him twice with it.
Mr.. Harrison finally managed TO
wrest the whip from the miuriated
woman, and then, being deeply
mortified at the occurrence, pro-
cecded to his rooms, near by, and
Informed his wife Of what had oc-
Cured. Mrs. Harrison asked him
why he didn't knock the woman
down. He remarked that such a
course wouldn't have answered.
Mrs. Harrison then made up her
mind in q twinkling. She'd get

took the whip, and started for the
store. There she found Camp, and
then and there proceeded to give
him beautiful fiogging. Shc.is

Remarkable Case Of Vitality.

The Cimmaron (Now Mcxico)
News records the following remar-
kablc instance of vitality: A bit
of scientific revolver practice took
place at fandango ut Elizabeth
town the night of the 4th, OF which
the following are the particulars in
brief; Theodore Brown got into
II quarrel with a Ute Creek, miner,
AM read him few chapters from
Cogs without effect, however, the
U. Q. man not being in q receptive
condition, or Brown not being point
ed enough in his remarks. During
the discussion the banio-pIayer in
tcrfered and threw Brown across
the hall. Shortly after this Brown
marched up to the banio-player,
who, we believe was talking with
another man, and blazed away at
him with a navy revolver at the
distance Of a few inches, the pow
der burning the face of the banjo
man (whosc namo we could not
learn, and the ball entering the
middle Of his forehead, just above
the bridge Of the nose, passing with
in the skull. The man retained his
consciousness, and did not seem to
suffer much pain. The next day
he was visited by DR.. Longwill,
who probed the wound about the
depth of three inches, but could
not find the bullet. The patient is
still doing well, and two or three
days ago he got up and walked
down the street and bought him
new hat. 1t is certainly an extra
ordinary case, for the wound is one
which would prove instantly fatal

A Very Surprising Surprise Party

Those surprise parties, somehow,
nearly always turn out unpleasant
ly. They tell about one that came
off IN connecticut recently, which
was not halfas joyous as it should
have been. 1t was reported that
a man and his wife who had been
married many years without having
any children, that they had ut last
been made happy by the birth of Il
daughter. Some Of their friends
determined to give the man pre-
sentation supIisc party. SO about
forty persons marched up to the
house one evening carrying a era
die and lots of gum rings, and bibs,
and bottles with gum nozzlcs, and
"a baby carriage, and some little
night gowns, and u corral armlet,
and gross Of soothing syrup, and
socks, and parcgoric. And they all
burst into the parlor at once on tip
toe. And when the man, in amaze
mcnt, asked them what they meant
by such conduct, they said
they were coming IN quietly
so rs not to wake the baby. And
when the husband blushed and
stammorcd, and asked, " what
babyY They said his baby and
began to hand him the things, and
load him up with soothing syrup
and gum rings, until he loorcd one
Of the guests with n quart bottle of
parcgoric, and held him down until
he explained. And then it was re
voaled that it was all n mistake
about the little daughter; that no
such arrival had taken place at all
but that the report was false. And
then the surprise party was a great
deal more surprised than the man
was, and the guests gathered up
that infant furniture, and tried TO
pretend to the man that they never
thought no had II daughter, but
that they had understood that he
had accepted position as q direc-
tor of an orphan asylum, and that
they brought around few things
for him to distribute among the
poor fatherlcss children. The man
said it was singularIy thin, and then
the company went homo. The con
stltutional convention ought TO
adopt some kind of a measure to
prevent those mistakes.

OF Investigation and anxiety, carly
on Tuesday morninga King Charles
spaniel was observed to walk up
cautiously and remove one of the
cherished papers. This action was
repeated systematically, house by

guards followed their victim to his
place Of refuge. Near the foot OF
Washington street, behind a large
pile Of rubbish, was found the recep-
teal sought for. 1t was hero that
the dog was seen to plant his jour
mails. Tho earth around the pile
was subsequently turned up, and re-
vcaled fully 100 ofthc stolen papers.
Profound astonishment prevailed.

FOREIGN.

Madrid, July 3l.-A corrcspon-
dent writing about the massacre Of
Alcoy says the women played as
conspicuous parts in the massacre
rs they did in Paris during the com
munc. Nothing which occurred in
Paris, even in the last irenzicd ag
ony of desperation and ballled fury,
at all approaches this brutal mas
sacrc. When the minister OF for
cIgn affairs was asked by the cor.
tes fora statement of what really
happened, he declared that, for the
honor OF the chamber, his country
and Of the republic, he was obliged
to refrain from mentioning all that
happened. According to his ac-
count, the insurrcction got up by
the iGternationalists commenced in
,Strikes, or series OF strikes.
WorkmeD demanded largo ad-
vance in their wages, as much as
fifty per ccut, and when it was re
fused, they lett their work and as
sumcd n very threatening attitude,
interfering everywhere with worl.
and spreading alarm among
the peaceful inhabitants-espccially
those belonging to the we'll to-do
classes. They demanded the resig
nation of the town counsel, and
substitution Of u counsel Of their
own nomination, 70 this demand
the mayor OF Alcoy, Senior Angus
tin AIbors, refused to submit, and
he was given three hours to change
his mind. He took possession OF
The town hall, and with Il few civil
and national guards, and some
friends tried to hold it against the
mob, but the li,tle garrison was
soon oYerpowerod, and the assail-
ants burst in the doors, and then
followed a scene which the minister
declared it impossible for him to
describe. The defenders Of the
town hall, after being subjected to
other horrible insults and injuries
were stripped naked and held up
from the balcony, in full view OF
the bowling mob below. Their
names were called out, enc by one,
and the mob was asked whether
they would have them dead or
alive, and according to their an
swcr, either their heads were cut off
and their mutilated bodies thrown
down from the balcony or they
were thrown down still alive, the
mob below trying to catch them as
they fell on th9ir bayoncts and
pixies, everybody then rushing to
assist in dispatching what remnants
Of life were left, or if too late for
this, to further manglc and disfg-
uro the breathless bodies. One Of
the principal and most respectable
inhabitants was seized by the in
surgents, and after his clothes had
been sprinklcd with petroleum, he
was set on fire and made to run
while shots were fired at him.
Other atrocious scenes less terrible
were reported.

With never thought or a care

The man who hath no aim

Give me a man whose heart

Who sets his mark in the start,

Than to glide with the stream in an idle dream
And live purposclc-s life.

The Lewiston Journal peftinentiv re-
marks: We presume no one is SO foolish
as to take any stock in the Bangor Demo
Gratis purely imaginary account of a fierce
impending political contest at Bangor. Ii
is sufficient TO say that the division which
the Democrat speaks of, has no existence
except in wild Imagination. Even the
position and preferences of prominent gen
tlemen represented as in battle array. are
not correctly stated. 1t will require more
ingenuity than this to get republicans by
the ears on the gubernatorial matter,
which. as matter Of fact, has hardly
created ripple in publican circles.
There is. of course, variety of preferences
among the republicans in the gubernatorial
matter; but any attempt to represent that
this difference represents a division on any
past or future senatorial question, is purely
gratuitous and without foundation. The
gubernatorial question stands BY itself. to
be decided on its merits, as everybody
knows who has any acquaintance with
the matter. The success of no one of
the candidates named, cannot be construct
