OATMEAL ASA DIET.

Americans are gradually wakin e
up to the fact that oatmeal Is by
no means an nnimportant articl @
of diet. AS a food, the merits o +
which have stood the test for cen
turtles, and which Is designed to
promote the sanitary condition Of
the nation by laying the founda-
ton for more hardy and vigorous
frames for the coming generation,
let us regard its general adoption
as an article of diet as nothing
short of a national good. Its phos-
phorescent qualities act as a gem
tic and heaithful impulse to the
brain, and on no other food can
one endure so great or SO pro-
ioaged mental labor as an oatmeal
porridge. Properly cooked, IL Il
not only a most healthful and nu.
tritious food, but 1t is decidedly
palatable, as Is fully at ested by
its wonderfully rapid adoption as
a popular diet by the very fastid-
ious palates of our American peo-
pie.

AN OLD MAID BADLY T0ILED

A Phmnixville maid. quite old,
becoming anxious about her matri-
monial chances, recently concocted
a plan to deceive young fellow as
TO her age. This was the way she
tried it: The old family Bible
contained faithful record OF all
births, marriages, and Deaths
This volume the maiden took to
her chamber, and selecting the
birth page, she managed by dint of
scratching and writing to change
the date of her birth to a period
eleven years later than what it
had lcgitimately been recorded. =
Then the Bible was placed on the
sitting room table in a conspicuous
manner. That evening came along
the lover. He soon began to fn-
ger with the Bible pages, and
finally reached the birth record,
where and when he discovered. to
his surprise, that his Angelina was
just one year younger than he. lie
thought it strange, as she APP
peared older. He kept his mouth
shut and continued to tumble over
the pages. Next he began reading
the death list, and made the vene
astonishing discovery that the
radiant maiden, according to the
Bible, had actually been born ten
years after the decease of her faith
err. The young man quietly arose,
bad Angelina good bye, and now
swears that eternal vigilance is
indeed the price of liberty

The Gift Concert ofthe Masonic Re

Our readers viii see from an adver
tisemont in another column that the
Grand Gift Concert, which was to have
been given by the Masonic Relief Asso-
citation of Norfolk, Va, on the Sd Of
September, has been postponed until
Thursday, the 10Th OF November.

and intend to invest in this enterprise,

by the belief that a postponement would
take place, and they were unwilling to
purchase tickets until they felt assured
that a day had been fixed hen the draw
ing would positively take place In
Consequence of this impression, the sale

en- by the Associaion--ha not been to
such an extent as to enable The Directors
to make satisfactory distribution of
prizes or to accomplish the objpct Of the
Concert proposed to be given. 1t is
there fore the interest of all concerned
that the drawing be deferred until the
day designated in the announcement j;
and we doubt not that the action of the
Directors will meet with the hearty ap-
proval of their patrons, and the re-
suit will prove satisfactory to them.
The LAST GRAND GIFT CONCERT IN
AID of THE MASONIC RELIEF Asso-
CITATION OF NORFOLK PosTPoN-
Fp.-To THE PUBLIC.
In selecting the Sd day of September
as the date upon which to have their
last Gift Concert, the Directors of the
Masonic Relief Association were inhu-
enced by the belief that there would be
a sufficient length of time between the
publication of the scheme and and the
above mentioned date to enable them
to dispose of such number of tickets
as to ensure full drawing and an avoid
ance of scaling the prizes. While the
enterprise has been literally patronized
by large number of purchasers of tick
cts in every section Of the United States
and the British Provinces, yet the i'm
preston seems to have prevailed with
many ', no. were willing to aid in the
work of completing the Masonic Tenn
pie in this city. by investing in the
scheme, that the Concert weuld be post
poned, and IS consequence they have
declined to purchase tickets until an
announcement had been made that
a day had been fixed up
on when the drawing would positively
take place. The Directors, being as
sGred that their patrons will be satisfied
with the reasons &C tuating them in max
ing a postponement have selected Thurs
day, the 10th day of November, as the
time to hold their Second Grand Gift
Concert and Drawing, and they hope
that orders for tickets will be sent imme
diately by all who desire to obtain one
or more of the valuable Cash Prizes
which they offer. The public may be
confident that the same fairness and hon
esty which characterized their first will
lie observed in this.

Brigandage.

Spain numbers among its curses, in
addition to Don Carlos, Dorregaray, and
the inherent cruelty of Its people, sys-
tenn of brigandage of a bold but ex-
tremely polite order. A Mr.. Arthur
Hasleden of London, writes to the Times,
giving his experience as captive among
brigands. He was travelling with his
foreman to some mines in the Linares
district, when the bandits captured him,
and coolly demanded a ransom of f40,
900. Mr.. Hasledon laughed at the
amount, and told his captors they might
save themselves the trouble of asking
for it from bis relatives by disposing Of
him at once. He consented, however,
for forms sake, to attach his signature
to the demand made upon his brothers,
and remained with the brigands nine
days. At the expiration Of this term
the messenger dispatched for the ransom
returned with sum of money, and Mr..
Hasleden was set at liberty. The chief
brigand politely offered the captive a
guide to his destination, promised him
immunity from any other gangof thieves
in the district, and made him . present
of G6, with the remark that it would not
be right for caballero to 60 about with
out any money in his pocket. On reach.
ing his brothers Mr.. Haselden learned
that $4,000 had been paid for his re
lease, and was given to understand that
the local government would see that the
firm did not suffer pecuniary loss by the
transs ction. There is an air of romance
about this adventure which is usually
lacking 10 similar episodes in Greece and
Italy.

Troubles at the South.

The " White Leagues" are creating
much mischiefatthe South. Iu Red River
Parish, louisiana, six republican office
holders were requested to resign, and
because they refused, were all murdered
in cold blood. 1t appears that after they
refused to resign, they yielded to de-
mand to surrender to their rebel assail-
ants to save their women and children
from the horrors of bloody fight, but
his was not done until they had Deent
assured by the White League that they
would be protected from further person
al violence and their women and chill
dren should not be molested. They
were then made prisoners, together with
seven colored men, and incarcerated in
the Parish Jail, where they were guard
ed by the White League. On Sunday,
the Both, their captors took them all
from the jail, conveyed them beyond
the Jurisdiction of this district, and muir.
dered them In cold blood.
These IS White Leagues are the sue
cessors to the Kuklux Klans, and the
above is but specimen of several re-
cent horrible atrocities, and if the State
government is powerless to prevent them
th@ general government should be
prompt to lend its aid with vigorous
