Some Old Dutch Proverbs.

We must row with the oars we
have; and as we cannot order the
wind, we are obliged to sail with the
wind that God gives.
Patience and attention will bring
US far. If cat watches long enough
at the mouse's nest, the mouse shall
not escape.
Perseverance will obtain good cab
bage and lettuce where otherwise
nothing but thistles will grow.
The plowman must go up and
down, and whatever else may be done,
there is no other but this long way
to do the work well.
Learn to sleep with one eye open.
As soon as the chicken goes to rOost
it is good time for the fox.
Fools always will ask what time it
is, but the wise know their time.
Grind while the wind is fair, and
if you neglect, do not complain of
Gods providence.
God gives feed to every bird, but
he does not bring it to the nest; in
like manner he gives US our daily
bread, but by means of our daily
work.
The dawn of day has gold in its
mouth.
He that lags behind in a road where
many are driving always will be in a
cloud of dust.
Never set your feet in dirty and
crooked path for the love Of money.
1t is a work that will bring bad in
terest if you wish to suck honey Of
thistles.
You will need long spoon if you
wish to eat with the devil out of the
same dish.

HOMICIDE AT GREENVILLE,
Thomas Brown, Merchant, Shot
and Killed by Jas. Stone, a
Bank Cashier.
Mr.. Brown Resents the Charge
that he IL No Gentleman,
and is Shot Dead.

From gentleman who arrived yes
terday per steamer Katie we learn the
particulars of most unfortunate affair
which occurred in Greerville on
Thursday. From the facts elected it
appears that on Thursday morning
Mr.. Stone. cashier of Worthington,
Buckner & Co.'S bank, went to the
store of Messrs. Brown Il Harding,
and presented to Mr.. Brown a note
which had fallen due on a lot pur-
chased by that firm. Mr. Brown re-
fused payment of the note on the
ground that title was not perfect, and
stated that he would continue to re-
fuse payment until the title was made
perfect. Stone said to him: "Your
partner is satisfied with the title !"
and then after some further converse
ton, in which Brown maintained his
position, Stohe said to him: You
are no gentleman
He had started toward the door as
he made the angry remark, it is said,
and Brown reached for an iron poker
us be asked, "Did you say | was no
gentleman 2" and started toward him.
Stone turned and replied: "Yes, l
said So" and, drawing pistol, fired.
Another statement is that Stone drew
his pistol and fired at Brown while be
was reaching downward for the poker.
BE this as it may, the shot was fired
with fatal effect, passing directly
through the heart, killing him instant
ly.
Immediately after the unfortunate
affair Mr.. Stone gave himself up to
the Sheriff, who committed him to
Jail. A coroner's inquest was then
held on the body of the deceased, and
a verdict rendered in accordance with
the facts as stated above.
The sad affair has cast gloom
over the entire city of Greenville.
Both the gentlemen engaged in it
were young men Of the highest re-
spectability, bad each large circle of
friends, and had hitherto been very
friendly themselves. Mr.. Brown was
formerly citizen of Vicksl urg, hav-
ing lived here about eighteen months,
most of which time be was connected
with the hardware house of John A.
Peale. A year or SO ago he left here
to take charge Of branch house of
John A. Peale at Greenville, and has
been q resident of that place ever
since, having lately. engaged in busi-
ness on his own account. He was a
young man Of high social and moral
character, and was only recently mar
ried to Miss Archer, of Natchez. His
tragic death will be seriously mourned
by numerous friends in this city.

GALLANT PRoPosITIoN.-An item
is going the rounds of the newspapers
about young ladies dying from tight
lacing. An editor commenting on
the fact says: These corsets should
be done away with, and if the girls
cant live without being squeezed, we
suppose men can be found who will
sacrifice themselves. As old as We
are, we would rather devote three
hours q day, without q farthing to
pay, as brevet-corset, than see these
girls dying off in that manner. Office
hours almost any time"
With the consent of our BETTER half,
we wouldn't object to devoting all our
leisure moments to this philanthropic
sacrifice; SO the girls have no excuse
for using artificial squeezers.

q CURE FOR DIvORCEs.-A gentle
man who did not live very happily
with his wife decided to procure a
divorce, and took advice on the sub.
ject from an intimate friend-a man of
high social standing. "Go home and
court your wife for year, said this
wise adviser, "and then tell me the
result" They bowed in prayer, and
separated. When year passed
away, the once-comp!aining husband
called again to see bis friend, and
said: 81 have called to thank you
for the good advice you gave me, and
to tell you that my wife and l are as
happy as when first We were married.
l cannot be grateful enough for your
good counsel" 81 am glad to hear
l., dear SIR" said the other, "and l
hope you will continue to court your
wife as long as you live"

A young bachelor, who had been
appointed a deputy sheriff, was called
upon to serve an attachment against
beautiful widow. He called upon
her and said, Madam, 1 have an at
tacbment for you" She blusbed and
said, "his attachment was reciprocal
ted" "You don't understand me,..you
must proceed to court" 81 know it
is leap year, sir, but l prefer you do
the courting." "Mrs. Pearce, this is
no time for triaing, the justice is wait
ing" "The justice, why l prefer a
parson," and thus she captured him.

'sThe Kind of a Man Sheridan Is, -

A reporter of the st. Louis Repub-
lican interviewed General Sherman
the other day, and here is what the
man who marched "to the sea" has
to say of the modern Attila. Speak
ing of Gen. Sheridan, Gen. Sherman
said
Gen. Sheridan is kind-hea-ted,
noble-minded man, accessible to any
who may have suit to urge. But
he is soldier also, and does not
hesitate to do his duty. If be thought
it aecessary, and believed it matter
of duty, the city of New Orleans
would be no more regarded than an
Mdion riLIage; he ,could not hesitate
10 leret 1t. That is the kind of q man
Sheridan is But be is also prudent
and discreet, and will do nothing to
cOmplicste matters or precipitate
events.
General Sherman is doubtless right
in bis estimate of the rapacious
character of Sheridan. He cares
nothing for human beings or the
rights of men In the eyes of the
moral ruifian who lords it over the
imperial city of the South, the men,
the women, and the children Of the
fair city Of New Orleans, are no more
than the Indian men, women, and
children of the Piegans. While those
poor devils we're sick with smallpox,
Sheridan murdered them aud burned
their villages. He would like to dc
as much to-day for the people who
six yeas ago, sent him forth with their
curses Let the rufiian "level" New
Orleans if he dares. In less than two
years he will be cracking rock in some
Observation-Disclosures Herald.

To CURE HoARsENEss-When the

from the effects of cold, a simple,

sweetening with white sugar to tie

REACTION OF WRONG DoING.-1n
consequence Of the immensely lucra-
tive Indian opium traffic with China,
some of the most fertile lands in India
are given up to the raising of that
pernicious drug. In a single province
2S9,00 acres of the richest soil are
devoted to this service and this, of
SOuioC, W tbC SAtIuSlOu vi luC Ou-
ucts which support human life Only
scanty portions of land, in these opium
regions, are cultivated for providing
food. In consequence of this, in the
late terrible famine in India vast num-
bers perished for want of food and of
the diseases incident to that great
calamity. Vast numbers of precious
lives would have been saved had
those fertile regions been sown with
grain crops instead of poppy. So
that, while British opium destroys
immense numbers of lives in China,
its production in India leads to such
sad consequences as are above named.
Poverty, misery and death follow the
opium traffic in China; but they who
have forced the poisonous narcotic on
that suffering people become them
selves sufferers, through reaction upon
themselves of wrong done to others.

From the Southern Cult;vator
COrn-Number of Stalks to an
Acre.

EDITOR SOUTHERN CULTIvAYoR.-I
notice tire statement of Il. Ii. Harda-
way, before the Agricultural Conven-
ton, stating that be had on one acre
IA, 100 stalks of corn, and the yield
was ll9 1856 bushels. l contested
for the premium at the State Fair held
at Macon in 1873, attending to the
requirements of the Society-the land
and corn measured and weighed by
disInterested persons and sworn to
land measured by County Surveyor.
My rows were four feet wide, corn
drilled about three feet apart, two
grains planted in a place. The corn
was grown partly in an old garden
spot, and balance near residence.
The poultry destroyed a good many
stalks, as also the corn while matur-
iRS The yield was fraction under
100 bushels. Mr.. II. had more than
double the stalks per acre. The land
referred to had grown up partially in
sedge grass and dog fennel; the
garden spot had been idle for five
years-the rest of the acre was fertii-
zed with hog pen manure very light
ly. did not plant with any design
of competing. Some Of the hills had
from 4 to IL ears, seasons fine, and
the main stalks frequently had suck
ers.
My opinion is. that producing so
many stalks is waste of ammuni.
tion, both of rain and fertilizers. l,
is my belief that where we can get
corn to produce from two to seven
ears to toe stalk, it certainly is advisa.
BILE, and corn can be made to produce
that number as well, from my expert.

The following account Of u casualty
on the Railroad IN this county on Tues
day night last, we find in the St. Joseph
Herald:
when the freight train. which leaves
here at L. 30, was returning to this city
last night, a frightful accident happened
two miles this side of R0sendale, about
twenty miles out on the branch, which
resulted in the death of John G.. IIanil-
ton, 4 brakeman on the road.
From Joseph Ritchly, TIE conductor
OF the train, it was ascertaiaed that the
man when found was lying doubled up
between the rails, his head and feet
mangled and the remainder of his body
more OF less cut to pieces. 1t is sup
posed that in coupling the engine and
the first car he lost his balance while
STOPPING and fell beneath the cars. 1t
IS, from the indications, supposed that
ten cars passed over his body.
His body was brought down to the
city at halfpast n o'clock and placed
in the baggage at the Francis
street depot, from which place it was
soon after transferred to his late home
on South Fourth street, between Mary
and Patec.
Mr.. Hamilton vas 4 single man and
twenty-six years of age. He saw
yer by trade, and was formerly in the
saw-mill belonging to the Hamilton
Bros. He is an old resident of ST. DO
seph, ard his many friends will mour
his sad fate.
