Fulfilled to the Letter.

A young son of one of the principal ex-
aminers in the Patent-Office at Washing
ton went to pass his school vacation at an
uncle's in kentucky, near the Ohio River.
There was but one restriction on the scope
of the boys amusements. Horses, dogs,
rifles, shot-guns, etc., ETC., were freely al
lowed as companions OF his amusements
but as his cousins were as fond of the water
as so many ducks, he was requested to
shun the boat which his cousins were wont
to use in their aquatic excursions. He prom
ised faithfully, like the dutiful lad he is,
and departed rejoicing. A recent letter to
his father graphically describes various ex-
cursions and the ''gOod times he had en-
joyed, among the very, last one in which
the cousins had desired to visit the Ohio
shore. They went over in the boat"
writes the boy, "but l remembered your
wishes in that respect, and so swan the
river!' 1t is understood that the next
mail announced to the youngsier that the
embargo upon the boat had been removed.

The st. Louis Fair.

This institution has become national in
its interest and patronage, and the pres
ent management are making earnest and
successful efforts to have the coming
exhibition eclipse all that have gone be-
fore it. President Walsh fully compre-
hends the magnitude of the enterprise and
spares neither labor nor money to keep 1t
up to the largest demands of the country
and the times.
The Secretary reports the stock depart
ment largely in advance of any former
year up to this date; and new entries OF
fine animals-horses, cattle, sheep and
swine-are coming in every day from va
rious parts of the United States and from
the Dominion. The stock department
gains additional interest in the circum-
stance that there will be daily sales, pri-
vate and public, of fine blooded animals,
thus affOrding to farmers an excellent OPP
pOrtunity to improve their breeds of stock.
The same principle of selling articles on
exhibition extends to all the departments
of the Fair.
The entries in other departments are
already so large that the managers have
found it necessary to employ consldera-
BILE force of wOrkmen in the erection of
new buildings and the enlargement and
reconstruction of others.
The new Fine Art Hall, with its large
collection of fine pictures, statuary, ETC.,
will add much to the attractions of the eX-
hibition. So also Floral Hall, which is be-
ing reconstructed and arranged for mag
niticent display of fruits, wine and garden
products, also rare plants and flowers in
profusiOn. with rockwork, fountains, wa
terfall and rustic scenery.
Every day will be marked by running
and trOtting races on the track, while the
racing mules and irrepressible boys and
ponies will be " as good as play"
During one day of the Fair there will
be splendid exhibition of fire apparatus,
by the National Board of Fire Engineers.
The various departments containing
manufactured articles of every descrip-
ton are already being filled with entries
of rare and beautiful workmanship from
all parts of the globe, while machinery
of all kinds and the rich products of the
mine and the farm will make a splendid
showing.
The st. Louis Fair has become West
ern holiday, commencing the first Mon
day in October. and visitors this year will
find many new and superior attractions
in the great exhibition.
This year there will be distinct displays
of products from number of States, Ter
ritories and counties, in order to give the
advantage of such exhibition to the differ
emf localities thus represented. Colorado
will be on hand with such a display of
minerals and the precious metals, together
with farm and garden products, as have
never before been seen at the st. Louis
Fair. Other localities and communities
propose to be present, and make their To-
cal expositions grand feature of the Fair.
Editors desiring to attend the Fair will
be furnished with Press tickets upon their
arrival in st. Louis, or can be supplied
sooner by addressing Secretary kalb.

Musk.

Musk is a secretion, and is obtained from
the musk-deer (MoScLus moSchitey7ss), a
pretty little animal inhabiting the higher
mountain ranges of China, Tonquin, and
Thibet. The musk is found in small
pocket or pouch under the belly of the
deer. The hunters cut Off this pouch,
which, becoming dry, preserves its con-
tents. and in this state the best article
reaches our markets. Musk, when mOder-
ately dry,is an unctuous powder otreddish-
brown color. Itgives out apowerful odor
of warm, aromatic character and most
wonderful persistency. Blending well
with almost every other scent, it discovers
but little of its own popularity in COM
pounds, when used in proportion, and
yet gives them great permanency. In
point of general usefulness TO the perfum-
er it is probably unequaled by any other
substance; for, although coarse and I'M
desirable in a pure state, the most popu-
lar compounds are those in which it is an
ingredient. Genuine musk is very costly,
being worth, when separated from its sac
and all extraneous matter, from twenty
five to thirty-tive dollars the ounce. Its
great strength compehsates in a measure
for its price. One part of musk, it is said,
will scent more than three thousand parts
of inOdorous powder.-Ha7per's Monthly.

Three Men Killed in a Minute.

For years the travel from West and Mid
die Tennessee and South Kentucky to
Missouri and Northern Arkansas has been
via Nails ferry, which crosses the Mis-
sissippi River from Darnell's Landing to
Point Pleasant, on the opposite Missouri
shore. This is the only available crossing
point between Memphis and Cairo, and
in consequence is largely patrOnized.
Old Squire Robert Nall had the ferry for
a long term of years, but of late has turned
il over to his son Albert.
Not long ago, General III. NJ. Darnell,
from whom the landing takes its name,
and who is large planter, thought the
ferry business a good investment, and &C
cordingly started one of mis- own in oppO--
sition to the Nails. The General employed
two brothers named Coe and a young
man named Cole to run his ferry for him.
Both ferries have run along smoothly, the
Nall ferry, perhaps, doing the most bust
ness.
Last Saturday afternoon a large party
of movers from the State came to the fer
nv for transportion. Mr.. Nall succeeded
in engaging passage, when one OF the Zoe
brothers came over to Nails boat and Of
fered additional inducements for the NOV
ers TO take his boat. This caused quar-
rel. in the course of which Nall and Coe in
obliged in several harsh epithets. No
blows were passed, however.
The Milan exchange. (Milan, Gibson County, Tenn.) 1874-1978, 1874-09-03

General Darnell lives within short DIS
lance of the ferry, and. hearing the wrang-
ling came down to the boat. When ne
learned what was the matter, he turned 10
COe and said: "Why don't you Kill the
--?' This led to an alteration be-
tween Nall and the General, which re-
suited in the former drawing pistol and
shooting the General, the ball striking In
the left breast near the heart. and ranging
downwards. When the General fell, the
man Cole, who had come up by that time
drew his pistol and firing brought young
Nall to the ground. While on the ground,
Nall raised his revolver. and taking cool
aim. dropped Cole dead in his tracks.
Then Coe, the man with whom he had
first had dispute, pulled his pistol and
shooting Nall where he lay, killed him.
This ended the tragedy. Mr.. Nall and
Cole killed and General Darnen MORALLY
wounded, and in all probability dead be
fore this.
General Darnell is gentleman of about
sixty-five years of age, man OF large
property and unbounded hospitality /; he
| had very vindictive temper, and when
once aroused il was uncomfortable, and
! has figured in several deadly feuds. He
leaves a large family.
Mr.. Albert Nall. as stated, was son OF
| Squire Robert Nall, an old and highly
! esteemed citizen of Lake county. He was
man ofabout thirty years, and leaves a
family. The Goes and Cole were but lit

WINNING GOLDEN OPINIoNs.-Perhaps
no man living has won more golden Opln-
ions than DIR. Walker, as the enormous
and widely increasing sale of his CALIFoR-
MA VINEGAR BITTERs attestS. We never
look into one of our exchanges, but there
is panegyric of the Bitters staring us in
the face. Our readers will say that there
must be a reason for all this praise. They
are right. The efficacy of this celebrated
medicine is established by evidence which
it is impossible to doubt. Among the
thousands who have borne testimony to
its excellence, there is not one dissenhent
voice. In very many phases OF inorganic
disease it seems to be unfailing. All dis
eases arising from a vitiated state OF the
blood are surely eradicated by it. 1t IS an
effectual remedy for pulmonary COM
plants, bilious, remittent and intermittent
fevers, rheumatism and dyspepsia. Ii
purges the body of all unhealthy humors,
gives tone to the system, and where the
vital powers are enfeebled, restores their
functions to vigorous and healthy action.
All this it does the more etfectually be-
cause its operation is not intertered with
by the presence of alcohol. The VINEGAR
BrTTERs is perfectly free from any such
hurtful ingredient. WO have always be
lieved that plants contain the true RENE
dies for disease, and all the remedies nee
essary. DR.. Walker is on the line of real
progress, and we hope that he will not
rest on his present discoveries.

A Warming to Married Men.

A well known manufacturer of this city
visited his family few days since at one
of the popular summer resorts not thou
sand miles from Falmouth. Happening
to have an unusually well filled pocket
book, upon retiring for the night he placed
it in one of his boots for safe keeping,
emitting, however, to say anything about
it to his wife. Fatigued with the long
ride, he soon fell asleep, and upon awaken
inc early in the morning sought in vain
for his boots and his money. Rousing his
wife with anxious inquiries about s. those
boots, q" he learned that she had found them
lying around and had set them outside the
door for the hotel bootblack. A few Sec

the porter was honest, the money restored,
and our manufacturer firmly convinced of
the prOpriety of having no secrets from
his wife in future Worcester Gazette.

How Carl Rosa Got Married.

Carl Rosa and Parepa, antipodal as they
were in complexion, stature and avoirdu-
pOiS, were supremacy harmonious, excel
lently adapted to associated enterprise.
He had never undertaken a management
until after his marriage, and he is indebted
to her, it is said. for the inspiration. He
is so modest and retiring a little fellow
that many persons have wondered how he
could summon courage TO propose to a
woman so much larger than himself.
The manner of his proposal is thus re-
lated. The musical twain were en- route
to Hartford by rail seated side by side ;
Rosa seeming to be unusually depressed.
Parepa, a close obverver, and always SYM
pathetic, noticing his melancholy, inquired
the cause. He answered:
1" L have been unlucky in this country.
For some reason or other have not been
able to keep my friends in America. With
the best feelings and intentions, appear

genuOusness, 81 will be your wife also, il

A fortnight later they were married.
She had long been very fond of him, and
he of her. and she knew it. But he was
so sensitive and self depreciating that she
felt that he would not reveal his affection
unless he were literally encouraged.
Few men or women have been better
partners, sentimentally or financially, than
Parepa and Rosa. They gave English
and Italian opera at the Academy in bet
ter style than it had ever been given, and
Notwithstanding the great expense to
which they had gone, they realized hand,

Treating the Wrong Disease.

MANY times Women call upon their family
physicians, one with dyspepsia, another with
paipitation, another with trouble Of the
breast, another with pain here and there, and
in this way they all present alike to them
selves and their easy-going and lndlnereRt
doctors, separate and distinct diseases, for
which he prescribes his pills and potions, as
Stunning them to be such, when, in reality,
they are all symptoms caused by some uterine
disorder; and while they are thus only able
perhaps to palliate for a time, they are ignOr-
ant of the cause, and encourage their prac-
tice until large bills are made, when the suf-
fering patients are no better in the end, but
probably worse for the delay, treatment, and
other complications made, and which prop
er medicine directed to the cause would have
entirely removed, thereby instituting health
and comfort instead of prolonged misery.
