On Saturday night the Waterman Of
the .EtnavilIe mill was set upon by a
pack of drunken ruiIians and unmerci-

ABOUT twelve o'clock Friday night
nearly all the citizens were aroused and
Mortified by the repeated cries Of murder
and help from house opposite Wood

these wild appeals tor succor, young
man rushed out of the hou-e and tore

-ErNAyILLE WAS the scene Of gen
eral fight about noon yesterday. \
number of dissolute characters provided
themselves with supply of whisky and
adjourned to the iron mill TO fill their
skins and raise the devil generally. They

who is connected with the works, got
into difficulty with them 4 fight then
ensued which resulted in one Len Lyle
being hit with both stick and

general, but we could no: hear any of
the particulars, more than that Jerome
Porter aud Shorty McNiehol who were
implicated in the row, were arrested and
brought to the lookup. The officer in
charge left them there to seek the Mayor.
While he was gone, there being roguurd
over them, they coolly marched down
street and over the bridge towards
Wheeling. There will probably be fur

ADVICE TO THE GIRLS.

Do not estimate the worth of {
young man by his ability to talk sof
nonsense, nor by the length of hi:
mOustache.
Do not imagine that an extra rib
bon, tied about the neck, can RENE
dy the defect of soiIed collar or ar
untidy dress.
If your hands are Drowned by la,
Dor, do not envy tho lily fingers of
Miss Fuss and Feathers, whose
mother works in the kitchen while
the daughter lounges in the parlor.
If dandy with a cigar between
his fingers asks you if smoking is of
fcnsive to you, tell him emphatically
res" The habit should be, even
though the odor may not.
Do not waste your tears on the
imaginary sorrows of Alouzo and
Melissa, nor the trials of the dime
novel hercines. Seek rather to al,
liviate suffering ones on earth.
your dress is inconveniently
long, and a gentleman steps upon it,
don't get angry, but meekly beg his
pardon, as you ought. Always
cherish a partiality for the smell Of
dish water it is more conducive to
health and far less expensive than

HOW TO BE HAPPY

/ YOUNG man have you ever thought
of getting married Z! Do you intend
live single all your life, or do you in
tend to become a happy Benedict 7
| | venture the assertion that you in
tend to commit matrimony, for there
are but few men who do not at some
time in their lives have this in con-
temptation. Now | want to say
few words to you. When you mar
ry you intend to be very kind to your
wife. know you do. You will be
very considerable, and tender and
thoughtful for few months, or for
two or three years, and then you will
become careless and cool, and you
will go back to your old ways. You
will forget to praise your wife-to
say Thank you when she warns
your slippers for you, prepares you
something nice to eat, or performs
some other kind act. You will be-
gin to taxi these things as matter
of course, if your wife should fail to
have the slippers warmed and the
other kind acts performed, you will
be cross and will say something ugly.
You will probably say, 81 think you
have had time enough to attend to
these things, 81 don't know what
you are about all day." "You must
be getting lazy" and so forth.
Now that's not the way to act it
you want TO get along pleasantly.
Don't forget to praise your wife.
Praise costs nothing and is easily Civ
en-. Tell your wife that her bread
is SPLENDID, even if it should not be
quite as good as some you have seen.
Then she will strive to do better. If
you will do this you will be more
likely to have good bread than you
would if you should growl and grum-
bic, and tell her that the bread wasn't
fit for the pigs to eat. How careless
we all are about saying these two
words, "Thank you" when some one
performs kind act for us They
are easily said it takes no time and
no trouble, and the person to whom
they are addressed always consid-
ers himself we'll repaid for what he
has done. Now, young bachelors,
old bachelors-aIl who contemplate
motrimony, remember what have
told you. | am a woman-a single
woman, however-and | ought to
know how we can be managed, and
what will please us. Therefore, L
say, don't forget to be kind to your
wives-don't fail to praise them.
Be as kind and thoughtful all your
life as you will be through the hon
eymoon. Do this and there will be
no clouds-no domestic difficulties
no iangling, no wrangling--all will
be peace and happiness.

ONE HUNDRED BUSHELS FROM a
SINGLE PorATo.--Mr. d. L. Bran
ming, of jacksonville, Fla, made last
fall, before the Duval County Agri-
cultural Society, statement which
suggests wonderful possibilities for
the sweet potato in the congenlal eli
mate of the South. In 1871, having
a specimen which he desired to null
tiply to the largest possible extent,
he first cut it into pieces, each with
about two inches square of skin.
These he planted February 10th, in
rich, warm spot, which had been
occupied as hog pen. They grew
finely, and on May lSth, he took from
them two hundred vine cuttings,
which he planted, and he continued
this cutting and planting till August
10Th, planting in all something over
ten thousand cuttings. The crop
was not measured, but experienced
farmers, who saw the whole in heaps,
as put up fer banking, estimated that
there was at least one hundred bush
els. That will do for poor sandy,
barren Florida

SAD spectacle as signs Of the times,
to see the varied conveyances rang
ing in denomination from the one
steer team to the siX-mule wagon,
driving in ahd returning with small
lots of corn, bacon, flour and such ar
ticleS as were formerly raised on the
farm. Sad, to hear the reduced and
exhausted farmers asking for credit
buying the last pound he can on time
no lien law on hand unless he mortg
age his land, his hose or his ass.
Sad to note the wild desperate look
ia the planters eye, and the dis
trustful, doubling ext res8ion of the
dealer in supplies. Sad to see the
city drummer, omiuous Of hard
times, intesting small towns in
swarms. Deplorable, all this mis-
cradle picture, and yet, where is the
fault ? Simply too much cotton. :

CURE FOR, DPHTHERIA.-It is sim
ply the use of sulphuric acid, Of
which four drops are diluted in three
fourths of a tumbler Of water, to be
administered to grown person, and
a smaller dose to children, at inter

said to be a coagulation of the diph

IMPORTANT INVENTION.

An inventive genius at Mnneap-
oils, Minnesota, has patented an
apparatus which he calls car>shoe,
for preventing cars from leaving the
track in collisions or by running up
on a broken or dislodged rail. 1t
was given trial a short time since,
in which it did all and more than
was claimed for it. A rail was tax
en- from Que side Of the track, and a
car, with the shoe attached, backed
down at the rate of about twenty
miles an hour. Just before reach
ing the break the engine was de-
tached and the car flew across the
break, the front truck stricking the
track all right, and the rear one
missing it by few inches, the shoe
gripping the track and stopping the
car, without damage about six rods
from the break. On the second
trial the car struck the track all
right, and went on a half-mile as if
nothing had happened. In this age
of railroads, such an appliance as
that, if placed upon all cars, would
be the means of saving thousands OF
lives annually.
