WILD Boy CAUGHr.-A gentleman
from Marcos, Texas, tells of the capture
Of q wild boy a few miles from that
place. The boy was first discovered wal
lowing in a pond Of shallow water, and
when approached he broke like quar-
ter horse, running about a mile before
he could be overtaken by men on ponies.
Riding up near, the boy was lassoed,
when . fierce contest ensued, the strange
being striking, kicking and lunSing about
in the most fearful manner, and appar-
emily being frightened almost to death.
Finally he was .overpowered, tied and
taken to the house of the man who first
discovered him. His body was covered
with hair about four inches long, and
from size and appearance he is supposed
to be about II years old. He is unable
to talk, but possesses reasoning power.
and now follows his captor about like .

SAINT FIAcRE- Recently the coach.
men of Paris celebrated the anniversary
of their Patron Saint Fiacre, who, it az
pears, was born in ireland about 600.
He came to France on a visit to the
Bishop of Meaux, and founded a hospi-
tai for the entertainment of pilgrims and
travellers and poor people. The first
vehicles which we're uaed to carry trav-
elers to the hospital were called after the
name of the Saint, and the word since
has become general for public carriages.
Saint Fiacre is also the patron OF garden
ers, because he is reputed to have been
great botanist and to have surrounded
his hermitage with fowers:-Poris Cor

UNPARALLELED JRALoCsY.-For an es-
Enlistment Of its influence and stand
ing in the newspaper field, the Enterprise
is singularly sensitive to the impulses of
jealousy. Because q person of its own
class. engaged in another branch of the
business), chose to send her protest
against a certain ordinance to the APPEAL
instead of the Enterprise. the editorial
Duet of that paper treat her with petu-
lance and as if she were deserving old
associates and taking on airs Of superior
responsibility. Give the poor girl a
chance to reform. will you not? Would
you, to crafty momentary pique deny
to fallen woman o chance to be heard
merely because Of her giving preference
to an acknowledged vehicle of charita-
BILE virtue like the APPEAL over an engine
Of cold and cruel worldliness like the
Enterprise We trust, that giving heed
to the promptings of a nature not alto
gether blunted to the impress OF thu
finer sensibilities, the conductors of oul
temporarily misguided contemporary
will accept these mild and modest rebuk-
ings ana be governed in future by more
generous and charitable temper. Oul
mission is to encourage reform upon the
part of the erring. whether they be
found struggling against the hard Incl
dents of life out of which the precious
name of Virtue has been forever Ell -,
OF dwelling within the tabernaclesoi the
mighty; and whatever course may be
pursued by The perverted, the depraved
or the scofdng, we shall not be turned
aside from the straight though humble
and unpromising path pointed out to
US by the unbending finger of Duty.

PRINTER BEATEN AND RoBRED.-As
Mr. John King, an employee Of the Ala
office, was proceeding to bis residence
on Geary street. about a quarter past >
O'Clock yesterday evening. he was Set
upon near Cough street by two ruffians,
one of whom struck him q heavy blow
on the back of the head with some
weapon several times, producing several
scalp Wounds. He also received knife
cut in the right arm. The ruffians took
his watch and chain from him. but as be
continued to cry murder, they took TO
their heels. leaving their victim bleeding
on the sidewalk. After running n little
distance they dropped the watch. which
was afterwards picked up covered with
blood, and made their escape. Mr.. King
was removed to his own house. where
he was attended by Doctor johnson.
Police protection is sadly needed in this
neighboshood.-Poss, Sept. %.

terrible cracking and thought something
might be wrong with his engine. The
train was stopped, the engine examined

ton of the cars was then made, and near
the middle Of the train WAS q car which
contained something that was leaking, a
few drops striking the rails. Upon OPEN

found, labeled "Glycerine. The car
was side tracked at Granger. In moving
it wheel passed over a drop Of the sub

like that of pistol. The car was con-
signed to some firm in San Francisco.
but the company have as yet been I'M
able to find out who shipped it. II Is
supposed to be nitro slycerine. The
railroad men have tested it by placing
drop of it on the tack and striking It
with hammer. which will cause loud
report. A few shavings that had been
living in the car became saturated with
it and were laid on the ground and then
struck with a stone. which caused them
to fly in every direction. A track has
been built away from the main track and
the car run out on it. where 1t now re-
