IT SEEMS that Mr.. Denmas Barnes, of paten

IT SEEMS that Mr.. Deumas Barnes, Of patent
medicine fame, and the proprietor of the Brook
lyn Argss, and Thomas Kinsells, the editor ofthe
Eagle, rival journal, do not get along very
well together in the city Of churches. We
judge 90 from the following heightened article
from the pen Of the Argus editor: ''This sneak
and lickspittle, who has threatened to assassi-
nate us at least once month since we COM
menced publishing the Argus-this foul
mouthed BLACKBOARD, who coasts that he has
no character TO lose, and that no gentleman
dare throw mud-balls with him-is, we under
stand, known as Thomas Kinsella. He still
forces position on that paper, under threats
of betraying the secrets OF his business
employers, and the secrets of his pals in social
crime. We are easy to fird. We walk the
streets daily, and do not carry cudgcls-or ride
on side -saddles-and We assure the scoundIel
that pe are not q nonresident. II any fair
shooting is to be done, our weapon would be
musket at two PAGES" IfKinsella, who is IN
enthusiastic Irishman, does not take down his
"shillelah" and whale Barnes until he shall
be obliged to take his own medicine-the worst
punishment that could be inflicted upon him.

Pardoned on His Way to Prison.

William Fugit, aged twenty-four, was arraigned on an indictment charging him with complicity in the robbery of the Shasta stage coach about three years ago. He pleaded guilty, and was promptly sentenced to two years at hard labor in the California State prison. There were three men concerned in the robbery. Two were arrested soon after thu outrage, tried and convicted and sentenced to prolonged terms at San Quentin. Fugit fled, and all traces of him were lost. He went East and mar ried beautiful girl. Recently he re- turned to California, but he had not been there very long before he was arrested for his part in the robbery. A Deputy Sheriff left Shasta with Fueit in charge forSan Quentin. He allowed his prisoner to 'tarry one day in Sacra- mento to bid farewell to his young wife. The Deputy, having another prisoner Tn charge, came on, meanwhile entrusting Fugit to the custody of 8 Sacramento officer. Kennedy went across the bay and turned over his pris- oner to the Warden at San Quentin. Upon his return he expected to meet the officer from Sacramento with Fupit in charge. While waiting for them he was astonished upon receiving a tele- gram announcing that Governor Booth had pardoned the young man. It is be- lieved that the Governor relented be- fore the fearful entreaties of the con- vict's wife. At the time of the con- mission of the crime Fugit was only twenty-one years of age, and according to his own story he was led into khe robbery by older parties.

A Child StrangIed by a Cat.

A strange occurrence took place re- gently in the family of MT. Silas Dolo- way, in Middletewn, N. r., Mrs. Dolo- way is accustomed to leave her babe, little girl four months old, on the bed
 upstairs while she does her mornings work in the basement, from where she could easily hear the least noise. On the morning in question she heard the little one growing as usual, but finally noticed that the sounds ceased. and shortly after heard 8 strange, gurgling noise. Supposing that, the child had got it's head under the bed-clothes and was suffocating she ran upstairs to see about it, and found the house cat with it's nose in the child's mouth. The child was strangled black and was fight ing feebly with her hands. She caught the child and shook it several times, when it caught it's breath and came out all right. In a few minutes more it would probably have been st-angled to death. Mrs. Doloway had to pull the cat of the child so eager was it to re- main. It had @ paw on either side of the child's head, and had it's nose pressed deeply into the child's mouth. The cat was instantly killed. Y -si q

Days at Che Seas Mercy.

On the morning of the fatal gale, which desolated the lower end of the City of Charlston, fisherman, named James McHale, left Tybee in small batteaux and proceeded to point off Beach Hammock for the purpose of fishing. He reached the place safely, and whilst engaged in this work the gale struck him, his s'anchor parted, and his frail craft was driven rapidly out to sea. He put forth almost superhuman efforts to reach the beach, but failed, and the bounding waves carried him on, he knew not whither. The sea was so rough that it was as much as Mo- Hale could do to keep his position in the boat, and his condition was ren- dered more perilous from the fact that the probability of rescue was very doubtful. On the poor fellow drifted at the mercy of the .remorseless waves. Monday night, Tuesday, Wednesday, Wednesday night, without morsel of food or swallow of fresh water. His thirst becoming so intolerable on Wednesday morning that he drank freely of the salt water, and this dan gerous indulgence, together with the heat of the sun, brought on delirium. In this condition the helpless man drifted until Thursday noon, when he was picked up by schooner bound from Boston to Savannah, and all at tentlon that was possible was given him.

Of a Broken Heart.

A young English woman; only twenty two years of age, named Mary Harris, died on the platform of railway sta- tion near London, literally from a bro. ken heart. In June, 1873, her husband ran away from her, and since that time had not given anything toward her sup port or that of his two children. After long search for him she found out last August that hewas working in Sheffield, where hewas earning good wages. She made up her mind to go to him, but being without the money. to pay the fares of herself and children, went down to Kent with the hope of earning enough money as a hop-picker. She remained there three weeks and con .trived to save eighteen shillinRs, and started for London. She had been ill for several days previously, and said her heart was aching and breaking. Upon reaching the Bricklayers' Ar as station she rose from her seat and at- tempted to get out of the carriage, but fell forward into the arms of her mother. who was with her, saying, Mother, dear, lead me somewhere. want to lie down. Bring Sarah and Joe to me :: I am dying" She was placed upon the platform, but died in the course of a minute or two, before anything could be done for her. -,

The great Alcoholless Remedy, VINE GAR BTTERs, is every where driving pestiferous rum potions out of the market. That famous combination of the finest medicinal herbs on the con tinent of America is accomplishing such cures of diseases which affect the stomach, the liver. the bowels, the kid neys and the nervous system, that the grateful masses have adopted it as their Standard Specific. The various rum bitters have gone down before this pure vegetable antidote like tenpins before 8 well-aimed ball.

Kicked into & Jelly.

One ofsthe saddest affairs that we have been, calledupon to chronicle oc- cured about five miles from Atlanta, Ga. The circumstances are as follows
 MT. Elisha Stanley, farmer who lived in Henry county, came to Atlanta with wagon, bringing some cotton to market. After disposing of the same and making some minor purchases, among themi sack of salt, he left for his home about three o'clock in the afternoon. That was the last seen of him alive by any one who knew him. It seems, from all the indications, that when about four miles from the city the mules attached to the wagon be- came either unruly or frightened and started on run, and by some means he was thrown over the front of the wagon, and his pantaloons catching, on one of the hooks of the .double-tree he was left exposed to the heels of the fright ened mules. In this condition he was dragged three-fourths of mile. Pass ing house lady discovered his con- dition and screamed for help, but be- fore 1t came the now maddened- mules had passed beyond their reach. A short distance further they were stopped, when it was ascertained that Mr.. Stanley, who was still suspended to the hook, was dead, his head beaten into jelly by the heels of the infuriated mules, both arms being broken and his body otherwise bruised. His remains were carried to his home by his friends. The only presumptive theory of the cause of the sad affair is that the sack of salt burst open Gas was indicated by its being scattered along the road) and that the smulesgb became frightened at it's falling en the ground and ran away.
 MT. Stanley was married man, and leaves g family and numerous friends to mourn his loss.

w T e~ A Polish Wedding ia@WlseOnsin.

When Polish maiden gets married. she more noise and excitement there is gotten up forsheF amusemenbsth sthe better she likes it. A wedding, after the Po- fish style, was celebrated in Milwaukee at St. Hedwig's church. A procession was formed and marched through the principal streets of the locality toathe tune of national airs and the firing of guns. First came the band (which, in some cases, ranks according to the old gentleman's purse); second the bride and groom, followed by the bridesmaids and groomsmen; then the parents, rela- tlves and invited guests followed in couples. A number of boys were scat tered from the house to the church. and they kept mp continuous fring, of guns and pistols, When the procession arrived at the church the band stepped aside and the party entered and were seated according to marching order. The bride and groom then took their places in front of the altar, attended by the bridesmaids and groomsmen. The ceremony was short, and at the close the young man put his arms around the young woman's waist and gave her squeeze and kiss. At that moment some one inside kgave warhine to the boys outside, and fearful discharge of light artillery ensued just as the kiss was given. The band began to play, and all marched ont of the church and through the streets to the place from whence they started, the band playing and the boys firing during the march.
 All of these weddings are alike. The bride is generally dressed in white, and if there is not veil in the family, she buys or borrows one. The men wear long serge coats, doubtless made dur ing the reign of John Sobieski, and some of the women wear dresses of the same material. The young married man, if he is able, has g store coat. After dinner the drinking of beer com mences, and then dancing ensues. On 8 table in one corner of the room is a dish, into which every one who dances with the bride is expected to~deposit 8 small sum of money, generally twenty five or fifty cents &which ist6e brides dover. The fun iss usually kept up until morning. D 4,

ROWdyism and Crime in England,

The prevalence of brutal crime among the working classes in England is ex- citing general alarm, and the PaU Malt Gazette calls on the Home Secretary to propose some method of putting an end to the evil. It declares that the terro
 inspired by the roughs in the manufac- turing districts of the country is so great that even the victims of their vio- lence are afraid to denounce them, and that the assailant in the worst cases fre- quently escape detection. There have been several cases, it says, in which men have been kicked to death in the middle of crowd, to many of whom the offenders must have been we'll known. But there has been neither in- terference at the time nor denunciation afterward. That men should be afraid to come between their assailants and their victims only argues want of cour- age; but that they should be afraid to tell the police afterward if they know the murderers or where they are to be found argues something more.

Play and Work.

A man who is very rich now, was very poor when he was a boy. When asked how he got his riches, he re- piled, :" My father taught me never to play till my work was finished, and never to spend my money until1 had earned it. If I had but an hour's work in day, l must do that the first thing, and in an hour. And after this, was always allowed to play; and I could then play with much more pleasure than if had the thought of an un- Gnished task before my mind. early formed the habit of doing everything in time, and it soon became perfectly easy to do so. It is to this I owe my pros perity." Let every boy who reads this, go and do likewise,
