XprN Sensible.

The following clipping from the BrOlrjls-
rUlc Bee is respectfully submitted to the
consideration of real estate and other bust
ness men OF this city. The suggestions it
contains are worthy of serious thought.
There is no city in the land where there is
a greater demand to-day for small houses
suitable for men Of limited means. One
thousand such dwellings could be rented
Immediately to first-claSS tenants.
The Bee says: We see on nearly every
street in our city. new dwelling houses
going up. As a general thing, they are
large structures, being built by parties for
their own use. What we now need is a
lot of small houses, suitable for small
familieS-hOuses that will rent from to
fifteen and twenty dollars month. Those
who want houses. work for a living, and
are not able to pay more than that amount
for a house to live in. They are generally
willing to pay half they make for a house,
but not all. As a general thing, they do
not make over hundred dollars a month,
and with house rent at thirty dollars. ser
want hire from five to eight dollars,
and provisions from thirty to forty
dollars for the month, it takes
nearly all that he makes. In other words,
he is working for the man that OWNS the
house, and the man that sells him his pro-
visions, and leaves nothing fer himself
We think that ifsome of our moneyed men
would build small houses, that it would be
money in their pockets: besides, it would
induce numbers to come to our town to
live, that cannot do so now. on account Of
high rents. High rents in our town have
always been drawback to it. 1t prevents
immigTation-the very thing that we
need. and what our citizens are crying for
and keeps down public enterprises Of ali
kinds. II keeps the mechanic from
our town. for he is not able to build,
and he can't pay the high price for a
house: it takes money out Of the mer
chants pocket; it delays the work Of man
ufactwes-for operatives in factory can't
pay twenty-five and thirty dollars for
house-it keeps the bone and Sinew away,
and leaves the town at il stand-still. Give
the nottingham a chance to live among us.
Give him house at reasonable price and
see if there is not a vast increase in the
population of the place. Let your motto
he olive and let live" and not force men
away from the place that want to live
here. Build small houses, and increase
the size Of our city. ItneedS il and this IS
the only way you can do it.

SDeculatiOn.-It is doubtless best and
most proper to earn ones living by the
sweat of the brow, and any shortcut to
wealth should be discredited by those NOR
alists who are the '.ROad Commissioners, =
so to speak, of society. Nevertheless, de
spite the general admission which will be
accorded this doctrine, the wise advice of
those who have '.been there" and who ad-
wise whether they have won or lost, and all
the saws of poor Richard men will spec
ulate more or less, be it in lands or stocks,
pork or cotton, Western lands or Chicago
lots. If a man has small capital; if his
surplus for speculative aims be slender, he
must speculate, if he is determined to do SO
at all, mOdeStly and in manner to make
a small SUN afford the chance, at least, of a
large return. Fifty dollars invested in the
fourth drawing of the Public Library of
Kentucky may produce S250,0OO. The sue
cess, if success it be, is immense-the risk
is comparatively light. 1t

THE DEADLY PISTOL.
A Young Man AccidentIy Shot.

Mr.. John NJ. Fox, aged p years, was ac-
cidently shot at aparty given by Mrs Moran,
who lives near the Barracks, Saturday
night. and died in few minutes.
| 1t seems that disturbance of some sort
| was created. and Fox was trying to quiet
| it. His cousin, Clay Harrison, had a pistol
in the right hand pocket of his coat and
this he was holding, with his hand
inside the pocket, when the
weapon was accidently discharged,
the ball passing entirely through FoXs
right lee at the groin, cutting the main ar
| terv. which bled so freely that the only re-
| mark he was heard to make was: bob,
I'm shot through and through" addressed
to Bob WOmack. His parents were notl-
fed Immediately and DR.. Stout called, but
| he was beyond their aid before they ar
rived. An inquest was held about two
o'clock Sunday morning by Coroner Brant-
lev. the shooting having occurred about IL
O'Clock Saturday night. \ verdict OF 'ac-
cidental shooting" was returned.
EIr. Fox had been in the employ Of the
Express company for about two years, up
| TO some three months since. He was to
have gone back to his old situation yesteF-
dav. He was employed as driver, and
was considered one vi liIt pOot hii''Ao IL
Capt. Thatchers employ, and was general
favorite with the men in the othce' Inc
entire force turned ouj to attend his funeral
yesterday, and the procession made an I'M
posing appearance. His old team; driven by
Mr.. b. A. Bruce, preceded the hearse, the
horses and wagon being draped ID
mourning. Eight Of the attaches
of the Office, mounted on black horse''
acted as pail bearers.
The funeral sermon was preached at /. Is
fathers residence by Mr.. Ward, of Wards
Seminary, and the remains were buried at
Mt. Olivet.
Before leaving the house photograph Of
the procession was taken, his pony with his
gun and hunting equipments strapped to
the saddle, occupying prominent position
in the foreground. The deceased was I'M
married. In his death we have another eX-
hibitiOn of the fearful results of careless
handling of firearms.
