 Here Lone Bill began to move uneasiIy about. Noticing that we watched him rather euriOusly, he reparked "You see, soon as I git g. trifie warm I feel uneasy like and smart, an have to light out into the air.

 Saying this, Lone Bill spat with amazing accuracy at nail head on the wall, and, wiping his mouth with the coat-tail of his linen duster, turned his melan. chOly face and No. 14 boots toward the door.
 Halting with his brawny hand on the door knob, he hesitatingly said: "If you should brent any thing I've sed, an eff you've got room, just say that Lone Bill will swar to anything he's said, At home Pm sometimes known as the 'catamount,' and no man don't call me liar tWic't."

A Man Accidently Shoots Two of
 His Children.

A very sadoccurrance took place at Clinton yesterday morning, the particulars of which we learn from Dr. B. G. Macy, who hap pened to be near at the time. Mir. James Brooks, who is constable of that township, has a family of nine very promising children. Among them were two little boys, one aged and the other 5 years. Yesterday morning MT. Brooks was standing by the stove with his children around him. He had a revolver in his pocket, or strapped around him, which by some means became disengaged and fell. The pistol struck the stove in the fall, and one barrel was discharged, the ball passing through the body of the little D. year-Old child and into the body of the other. The ball struck the youngest child near the navel, and, passing through the body, came out near the spinal column, producing death in a short time. After passing through the young est child the ball entered the body of the 7-year-old boy above the hip, and passed into the ab- domen, where it lodged. The oldest boy may recover. although very seriously injured. The Jall had not been extracted this mOrn- ing. The boy that was killed was q remarkably bright little fellow, and tha sad accident has over Whelm d the family with dis tCGss.
 The most remarkable part of the sad affair remains to be told. The night before the accident, the oldest boy, after being put to bed upstairs, awoke in a great fright, and he came down stairs. He told his father that a neigh bOr's boy Calling him by name) had shot him and his little broth. CT, and that his brother died, but he did not, The little fellow was dreaming, but he was so much frightened that he would not go to his bed again, so his father took him in his own bed to pacify him, where he slept the remain der of the night.-LG,0rence (K0n) StGaaddrd.

It 'ud come up awful cold that afternoon. Thar warn't no thermOmeteB and we couldn't tell how low she'd got. But tilo' we'd q red hot fire iii the stove, and ali soJ round her, our breath friz right up, and we had to knock of the icicIes from our mouths every few minutes.

Long Jim had three aces, queen and the ''little joker" Scared Pete put down his right. Long, Jim followed with his "joker." Scared Pete took an ace with the left, Long Jim gobbled up two of his kings with two aces. Pete sWore no man ever before'd played it so low" on him and he'd be .eternally caterwauled if J i'm hadn't stocked the keerds. Then there was just the prettiest little rowye'ever sawn. Pete got Jim down, and afore a minute their breaths had friz tightr'n a vice. The boys saw it was all up with both on lem if they weren't got free. You See there wasn't no water nor nothing to thaw lem oat'n that, so they pulled Jim and Pete 'longside the stuv. 'Twan't no use. They friz so tight that hot pitch wouldn't melt lem. We had to let em lie thar all that night. You see everything was friZe up; no axe nor nOthin' to. chop the ice of. Next day they stayed thar, an next night.

 From the Evening Post. A sunny stream ran singing, singing,
 Gayly down the mountain side; With nirth and rantnre ringing, ringing And bearing roses on It's tide. Happy roses. smiling, smiling,
 Buds snd blossoms Tn the brook Summer hours of bloom beguil.ng,
 Life and love ia every look. Not the love Of passion, passion,
 But the faith of friendship born, Beaming with soft compassion,
 Pure as the dew at early dawn. This rose of radiant splendOr,
 Flushing in the light of day; That, little bud so tender
 That 1t soon must fade away. One with petals partly open
 Dropping lids with sleep oppressed Others on stem unbrOken
 Gently. trustingly caressed. Ah how needless of the morrow Glide that group of roses rare Naught think they of grief or sorrow While the sky is blue and fair. Bnt storm is coming, coming, From the murky lurid west; Insects on the air are humming, Still the leaves in threat'ning rest. See, 1t breaks upon the mountain, Lightning leaps from cloud to cloud, Soon the burn becomes fountain Rushing with ripple loud Now the flowers are parted, parted By the streams relentless tide, So they sever. /heavy-hearted, Born upon the waters wide. When the sunbeams paint the geanlng With flood of golden hue, Bud from bud is slowly weaning, Fading, fading from the view. Thus It is on life's broad river ''a6t ln flaui We bliihely sail, Ill uur cOugscs w9deiy sever ifiIh the magic 0f the gale.

SOUTHERN MANUFACTURING IN.
DUSTRTES.

A correspondent Of the atlanta Her
aid, writing from Augusta, relates the
history Of three large cotton factories
there, all Of which have proved exceed
ingly profitable ventures. One of them
was opened about the commencement
of the war, after a cash expenditure of
100000. 1t paid enormous dividends
(in Confederate money during thewar.
They ranged from 700 to 900 per cent.
This, however, was a somewhat facti-
tious prosperity. 1t remained to be
seen whether the enterprise could stand
the unfettered competition of the
North and the fettered competition
of England. 1t has done so. From
July l, 1866, to April, 1874, it paid an
nual dividends, in greenbacks) averag-
ing 200 per cent. On the original capt.
tai. The factory consumes 200 bales
Of cotton per week, runs 22,44S spin
dies, and 20 looms, and employs GIL
persons, Of whom go are children and
292 women. The yearly wages amount
to SS32,00O. The second factory made
1856. 500 yards of cloth out Of 8,I7I
bales Of cotton IN 1874 Its
stock is held at 100 and IS
not in the market. Both Of these mills
have bought or built some hundreds Of
houses for their operatives, using only
surplus profits for this purpose. The
third factory began work in April,
1872. Within three years, it has clear
ed nearly so per cent on its capital of
100000. It makes nearly 100000
yards OF cloth a year. Its success As
the more noteworthy, because it had
only been running a few months when
the financial crisis came, and because
over half Of the operatives we're wholly
ignorant of their duties when they were
first engaged. Many of them had never
seen a cotton factory before.

sINE7s CASE AGAINST THE CINCIN-
MATT POSTMASTER.
Cincinnati Commercial, june

The case Of L. D. Sine against Gus
tavus Wahle, Postmaster, and George
B. johnson, Special Agent. came up
before Judge Emmons, of the United
States Circuit Court yesterday. The
case is briefly this: Acting under
directions from the Postmaster-general,
Mr.. Wahle has wi-hhelda large number
of letters, containing money and
money orders, addressedto Sine, for the
purpose Of returning them to the
writer's. Col. Moulton, on behalf or
Sine, admitted that Wahle was acting
under orders Of the department, and that
tie department was proceeding IN pur-
suance of the law of Congress, but
claimed that the law giving the Post
master General power to withhold mail
matter relating to lotteries Is uncOn-
stitutiOnal, and this really was the
question at issue. In the meantime
lottery letters to L. d. Sine have been
accumulating in the pOstOffice, and
large numbers come with every mail.
Sine claims that these letters relate to
his business as a publisher, but this
may be safely regarded as very thin.
The Postmaster General has been very
determined IN the matter, and has
given the most positive orders to pros
ecute all such cases.
Judge Emmons, without being able
to consider the matter fully, was of
opinion that the law Of Congress
auShorizing the Postmaster General to
make the ord, was constitutional, and
that his order was in pursuance of the
provisions Of the law, but that
inasmuch as the question was serious
one with the plaintiff, he allowed a con-
tinuance of the temporary injunction
against Postmaster Wahle, ID order
that the case may have a full hearing
by Justice Swayne.

GRANT SAYS IT'S SETTLED,
washington Special to the Chicago Time.

y dnnll8lo > ltClstl 70 tLc JlicaSo lines.
The President In a private converse
ton with several Western gentlemen,
today, gave a still stronger assurance
Of his remuneration Of the. third-term
project. One Of the gentlemen was
very anxious 20 get an expression Of
opini.n from the President upon the
subject Of his recent letter. The sub
ject of the Indians coming up, the gen
tleman referred to the remark that
probably the Indians were in no
hurry to settle their troubles, on the
ground that they were believers in a
third term, and had confidence that
they would have a warm friend in the
Great Father for some years to come.
Grant waved his hand impatiently,
almost, at the remark, and said, with
strong emphasis, THAT question Is
settled now. There never can be any
more talk upon that subject, since my
letter" The manner Of dismissing the
question, as one that had no concern
for him, convinced the questioner that
Grant considers himself completely out
Of the next presidentialrace. But still
there is the epistolary superstition of
the Presidents, that a contingency
might arise, showing plainly what his
desire Is.

BOHESuANIsa.

Lads with a love Of literature who
fancy that it would be fine thing TO
be Bohemian like Savage and Chat
terton and Dermody, had better think
twenty tim. before they rush into any
such folly. For, IN the first place, If
there were no material points to be
considered, beginners should take heed
of the waste OF ability which the So
called Bohemian life brings with it..
They will not find it pleasant at the
end of a loose and unbrideled career to
reflect that they might have donemuch
and have done so little-a few verses,
q tale or so, a farce, a few Jokes in the
comic newspapers, and n miscellany of
pen and ink stuff forgotten
in the reading. OF course,
their light performances have
creditable elements-brilliancy, per-
haps, humor, good feeling, a suspi-
cion Of high and honorable aspiration.
1t is generous, doubtless, for a writer
to put his best into his public writing,
and to reserve his worst for his own
daily life and conversation; but such
hberality comes to no good at last.
Bad habits take away the power of
good work. Without their constant
companionship, a man forgets what is
IN the books. EFFICIENCY viii make him
tolerant Of his own hasty faults, and
unmindfui Of the. duty Of doing his
best for the mere sake of doing it.
Sensual pleasures viii render the finest
hand coarse in time. He who drinks
beer" said DR.. johnson, "thinks
beer" and the stronger the beer, the
smaller the thought, may be add
ed. Moreover, a want Of method
viii make results fragmentary and
quality unequal, while the waste Of pre-
cious time and the unimproved "once"
of opportunity. VIII crown the disaster
Of an ill-spent life. Then will cone
mems pity, harder to bear than their
reproaches; the sting of conscience; the
sense Of failure; want, modification,
the extreme of discomfort, and at last
death and the grave, with the under
takers bill paid by the charitable and
a monument raised by subscription!
Young gentlemen still in LiJer Primus,
this is the brilliant Bohemianism Of
which you sometimes pleasantly
dream. Our advice to you is to have
nothing to do with it. Love literature
as much as you please, but cultivate a
habit Of paying your debts, of saving
your money, Of improving your time,
of keeping sober, and of wearing clean
shirts! There is Mt a writer living by
his wits in this great city, who will not,
IN his serious moments, tell you that this
is good counsel. He may repeat 1t to yOL
over the mug Of beer which you are to
pay for, warning you to do as he
breaches and not as he practices. Then
he Will drink the beer and wait for you
to offer him 3 cigar.

RAFFLING BTKGLARs.

Locks aud bolts seem of little pro-
lection to bank vaults, especially in
quiet village towns, since burglars have
taken to capturing the cashier or who
ever holds the keys, and trotting him
to the bank at the muzzle of the re-
volver in the deep waste and middle Of
the night, to open vaults whose con.
tents are coveted. Various devices
have been resOrted to in the hope of
battling this new mode Of attack by the
cheraliers d'induStrie, such as changing
every night in some irregular order,
difficult to detect, the officer
with whom the key shall
be left in charge. Another
plan has been to make the key in
pieces, TO be distributed around among
the officials so that no one of them can
open the vault. This has been found a
rather awkward plan, when some one
holding a piece, fell sick during the
night, or lost it in a social carouse.
The best plan yet adopted IS the chro-
nometer lock, with clock work SO ar
ranged that it cannot be opened at all
during the night. Last week the tele-
graph announced the attempted bur-
glarv Of a bank at Great Darlington,
Mass. The masked marauders
reused the cashier out Of
his bed, and leaving a guard
over the rest of his household, hustled
him down to the bank. He assured
them that neither he nor any one else
could open the vault, key or no key, till
the regular hour, as a chronometer at
tachment had been put in place only
two days previously. They would not
believe him, however, till they had tried
it. and listened to the ticking Of the
.Iock-work inside. The baftled bur-
glars took their revenge by escortlng
him home and rihing his residence TO
their hearts content.

wHI7TLE AND BLISS IN MEMPHIS.

Memphis Appeal.
The work Of Messrs. Moody and
Sankey IN producing a religious re-
vival IL London and othrr English
cities, Is still continuing with undated
interest and success. a somewhat sim
liar, though more quiet effort, is going
on IN Memphis under D. W. White
and P. 2. Bliss. Those who object to
faEaticism and excitement IN religious
revivals, can make no complaint of d.
". White, for his sermons OrlectUres
are Teplete with profound philosophy.
With a calm dignity he lays broad,
deep and strong the foundations
of his arguments. His facts and
deductions are presented IN such
simple language that conviction Is IT.
resIstible. His sermons are great be-
cause they are truths told il all the
e!OqUence Of candOr, piety and earnest
sincerity. He never heats his hearers
by setting himselfon fire; but he opens
his great soul upon his audience, and
pOurs out a fountain of living waters.
His sympathy, sincerity and earnest
piety are large ard controlling, and his
common sense keeps him from running
on rocks or getting spoiled. The peo-
pie OF Memphis have not misplaced
the affection which they have laYished
upon Mr.. Whittle. He is giving his
time and talents for the benefit Of the
public, and he will be followed through
life by the prayers Of our entire com.
munity. Mr.. Bliss returned to the
city yesterday, and he. will give addi-
tional interest to the meetings.
