shot, which would not explode, hurried
on to his own home, and half an hour
afterward the officers proceeded to his
residence where they found him

Hard Times and Their Cause.

The Industrial Bulletin says the hard
times are attributable to the extraordin-
airy industrial revolution in England
which would, in any event, have had the
effect TO unsettle prices here, and to dis
turb the relations of capital and labor
1t was a double misfortune that we be-
gan to feel the force of this momentous
change in wages and the cost of produc-
tion abroad, at a time when there was q
temporary suspension of the banks, and
loss of confidence in moneyed circles
at home, and when it was impossible to
accommodate ourselves to it or counter
act it. The result has been an almost
total cessation of demand for commodit-
les which employ in their production
a vast number of skilled workmen, and
the actual consumption has been re-
stricted in a way that no one deemed
possible. A spirit of economy had
somewhat to do with this but 1t was
mainly created and is continued by the
determination of business men TO at
tempt no new enterprises, and TO avoid
as far as possible, all expenses, until
prices touch bottom, and they can tell
what their investments will be worth.

An Odd Superstition.

"A sojourner at Frank
Main, in Germany, had occasion to order
a single bedstead. "When it was
brought home," he says, "I was surpris-
ed to find that the ornamentation of one
side of the bedstead was not repeated on
the opposite side, it being in fact, quite
plain. l expressed my surprise and dis
satisfaction to the maker, saying that
when the head of the bedstead was plac-
ed against the wall of the room the
sides then showing would appear quite
unlike-one ornamented and the other
plain. At this the maker expressed his
surprise that I should be ignorant of a
German custom and prejudice; for,
said he Sin Germany, single bedsteads
are only placed sideways against wall
or partition, and only removed from this
position, and placed with the head
against the wall to receive dead body
And thesworthy maker assured me that
nowhere in Germany could a native be
induced to sleep on single bedstead
which had not its side placed against a
wall or a partition. The same objection
does not hold against placing two single
bedsteads side by side, with their heads
against a wall" Another instance of
the inherent superstition of humanity.

The Fragrant Limberger.

Some folks don't like the odor of
Limberger cheese; but there are people
that can't appreciate the flavor of a we'll
developed polecat. One evening, not
very long since, a gentleman had made
his preparations to attend prayer meet
ing with his wife Prior to starting he
came down to his place of business, and
while there an acquaintance discovered
that he was about to engage in Wednes-
day evening devotion. Accordingly he
put up villainous job. Procuring a
huge slice of the most fragrant Limber-
ger cheese, to be had, he watch his OPP
portunity, and just as the gentleman
stepped out of the door to go home to
his wife, slipped it in his pocket. The
parties repaired to the church and we're
soon seated side by side in comforta-
Bile pew near the stove. Soon the cheese
began to grow loud. The sisters turned
their heads about and looked as if a
kraut barrel had exploded. The dea'
cons elevated their noses and thought OF
the third plague of Egypt. The preach
er smelled a great smell and the wife Of
the unconscious odor casket nudged hel
spouse and inquired if he didn't smell
something. "Mariar, it. awful" he re-
sponded; sit must be in the coal" The
more the assembly speculated the louder
the odor became, and finally all hands
united in hurrying the proceedings to 8
close. Arriving at home, and while pre-.
pairing to retire, the gentleman discov-
cred the cruise of the unpleasantness
and removed it on a couple of chips.-

The CIVIL RIGHTS BILL.-The
House Judiciary Committee has had
several meetings for the consideration of
the amended civil rights bill, reported
to it by the sub committee = Messrs.
Butler, Poland and White. The Demo-
one or two Republican members, been
able to carry the balance of power as re-
CARDS amendments in such way as to
prevent final action upon it until We'd
nesday, when at comparatively full
meeting of the committee a final bill was
adopted. 1t retains many of the prom
ine1t features of the Senate bill, but the
penalty attached to the cemetery clause
is stricken out 1t provides that where
schools of equal facilities, capacity,
tutilage, length OF session, &C., are pro-
vided for the blacks, the penalty shall
not be enforced. 1t also provides that
penalties shall be alternative and not
cumulative; that the party proceeded
against shall have the right to elect a
civil or criminal proceeding, and one
shall act as bar against the other. The
committee directed Mr.. Butler to call
up as soon as possible the Senate bill
now on the House calendar, and offer
the new bill as substitute for it. This
if it passes the House, will have to be
sent to the Senate for its approval before
becoming law.
