The Other Side of Great Men,

! We always think of great mer
as in the act of performing the
deeds which gave them renown;
or else in stately repose, grand
gloomy and majestic. And yet
this is hardly fair, because even
the most gorgeous and magnifi.
cent of human beings have to
bother themselves with the little
things of life which engage the
attention of us smaller people.

AN EVENINGS EVENT IN THF
TOWN OF COFFEYVILLE.


Mr.. Jas. ]. Chatham, editor of
the Cofeyville Courier, has ar
rived in Kansas City and relates
the following particulars in rela.
ton to a shooting affray which
occurred IN tusli town recently:
A party Of afteeH or twenty
Texans came into town about
dark, and after getting full OF
bad whisky, began q series Of
performances of . cheEacteE not -
al in keepir. wifh the peace and
dignity OF tnat Aourishing village.
About ten o,elOck, the pu.,ce a.s-
thor3ties told them that no such
conduct would be tolerated, and
unless they at once put up their
revOlvers and "ceased firing"
they would be 'judged.n This
warning met with jeers and
threats from the drunken mob,
and they began to shoot off their
revolvers in a way that added
nothing to the safety of persons
on the street. The officers began
to arrest the parties, and a lively
time ensued. Several shots were
fred, though no harm was done.
Assistant Marshal StarkS, assisted
by a citizen named Slater, took
two of the number to the Gala
boose. Just as they put them in,
and while the officer was locking
the door, two or three Texans
came up, and, drawing their re-
volvers, demanded that the pris.
Oners be released.
One man held a revolver at the
officers head, while another
showed his weapon into Slater's
face. Quick as thought, Slater
threw up his hand, turning the
revolver aside, and at the same
time drew his revolver with the
other hand and shot the fellow,
the ball entering the right side,
Just above the third RIB, and pass
ing clear through his body, came
out between the fourth and Attn
ribs Of the left side. The man,
as soon as he was shot, turned to
run, when Slater fred again, the
ball taking effect in the left side
Of the head, and carrying away
part Of his ear. By this time the
Whole town was aroused, and the
became general.
The citizens were furnished
with revOlvels by the authorities,
and expressed a determination to
1uell the row or die in the at
tempt. A squad of Texans was
soon after detected getting up q
plan to tear down the calabOOse to
liberate those of their comrades
who had been arrested. This
party was arrested Immediately,
but one of the number resisted
the officers and had to be knocked
Down before they could take him.
This ended the fracas, though
here were some who threatened
The city prison with destruction.
A strong guard was kept around
It, however, and no further trOu-
Die was had. The mob consisted
If a number of "cow boys" who

we're taking a farewell "jam-

1t is said that the active competition for Gus
tom by the western railroads is working a won
derful revolution for the benefit of passengers.
causing the railroad officials to treat them with
care and courtesy. The conductors are even
reminded by Off cisl regulations that their man
ners towards passengers must be amended, as
shown by the following paragraph:
"Treat people as If you appreciated and were
willing TO acknowledge their custom. Try TO
accommodate and please. In short, act as any
good business man would toward his customers
Don't treat people a. il you were comforting a
favor on them by letting them ride"
Now we would suggest to hotel proprietors
that this paragraph would read remarkably well
In set Of regulations Issued for the instruction
Of their gorgeous clerks. We think the pub
lie would be very apt-other things being equal
TO patronize house where such regulations
were enforced.

The business outlook of this season Is con-
sidered rather favorable. The hard times the
country has experienced for the last wear have
helped to change the style of living, and made
people more economical in matters of mere
luxury, as shown by the decrease of importa-
tions. The enormous aggregate of our foreign
Imports for a number OF years has kept the
country constantly and deeply in debt, but
there is now a notable falling of in the con-
sumption OF foreign articles, as shown by the
imports of dry Dods at the port of New York
for eight months from January 1, 1873, as COM
pared with the similar period in 1872. A falling
of Of nearly so, 900 from the imports of
1872 is shown The large buyers Of the country
who are now laying in their fall stocks are Sc
curing fall selling stocks only, and are making
no speculative purchases. The state of the fan
trade and the general prosperity of the coun-
try Of course depend largely on the ex-
tent Of the crops and the prices the yari-
Gus productions or the farm will command
The Chicago Inter Ocean, in reviewing the field,
thinks that though In some sections the grain
crop promises to be q partial failure, the aggre-
gate production will not fall far below the aver
age, and there is every promise that breadstuffs
OF all kinds will command higher price. What
the extent OF the advance may be it Is hard to
determine, as this, OF course, will be governed
By circumstances not yet fully developed; but
that the gross sum realized by the producers
for this years crop viii be far In advance of the
receipts for las year, appears very probable.
There Is the same promise regarding cotton,
the prices already showing an upward tenden-
cy. The visible supply shows a decrease over
last year OF .45I bales. In view of the fact
that the current years crop in the United
States promises well, while there are some
drawbacks to the production in other coun-
tries, the cotton outlook is encouraging.
There are also indications OF an easier money
market. Besides the payment of the $4,000 900
Geneva award, which In itself would have a
tendency to relieve the stringency, there
are Sl5,oOO,0oO of national bank currency sub
scribed for by new banks but not yet taken up;
and the Comptroller has given notice that If
this Is not called for at once it will be distribu-
ted TO other banks. 1t is the prevailing opinion
that the worst Of our embarrassment is past,
and that the transactions of the fall will show
the country TO be recovered from its temporary
depression.

IN lecture the other night in Boston, the
Rev. Henry Morgan came to the defence of
"oid Maids" He maintained that old maids
are the only incarnation of the Gospel, the only
angels left on earth. Is a young woman neal
and tidy, she has the traits Of an imperturbable
Old maid. Is she frugal in her expenses, neat
and exact in her domestic concerns; does the cat
have cushion and the canary bathing dish
sad thought, that humanity of hers is the sure
Characteristic OF an old maid. He went on to
enumerate the interesting and voluminous cata-
iogue Of virtues peculiarly the property Of old
maiddom, and pointed to the still patent fact
that the old maid, however edifying in life and
spotless in death, Is refused the absolution of
society for the objectionable sin" of her single
state, and this, too, in states where there are
10000 more females than males, and in Massa-
chusetts, where there are so 900 more
