En IL Bad Fix.

A citizen who was driving along
the Jackson road the other day,
says the Vicksburg Herald, saw a
man up a tree near the roadside,
and hating he inquired:
What are you doing up there p
The man made no reply,a and the
citizen continued:
whats the cause Of your being
up there? ?"
At that moment a woman rose
up from the fence corner, rested a
club on the fence, and remarked
quietly:
"I'm the cause, stranger, and If
you'll wait till he comes down
you'll see the worst field of car
mage around here that ever laid
out uoors."
The citizen drove on and she
turned to the man up the tree and
continued:
"Polhemus, ] can't climb, and
you know it; but if you'll drop
down here for two minutes I'll
give you a quit claim deed of the
farm !"

USEFUL HINTS.

Oil of cloves is effectual in pro-
tecting animals against flies and
mosquitoes.
Salt, slightly wetted and well
rubbed in, will remove tea stains
from china cups.
To rid old furniture of worms,
paint the articles over once a week
for some time with benzine.
To remove paint splashed upon
window panes, use a hot solution
of soda and rub with soft flannel.
Nitric acid stains can be remov-
ed from the skin by moistening
with permangamate of potash and
washing with water.
A small cartridge of dynamite,
exploded on the surface of boul-
der, will effectually break it up
into small fragments easy of reno
val.
Mustard is one of the simplest
and handiest of emetics. A table
spoonful mixed in a wineglassful
of water will seldom fail 10 produce
sickness.
Corn-flour diet is simply starva-
ton for infants. All white farinas
are innutritious. Infants foods
should be dark in grain, being, in
fact, whole meal ground to an inn

courts decided against the slave
traders. They were forced to re-
turn their i'll gotten dollars to
Crenshaw, and also pay heavy
costs for their misdemeanor. They
had expected Mcmillan to testify
in their favor. He failed to do so
and stuck to the truth through
out.
The dealers managed to obtain
new trial, and having been de-
ceived into the belief that McMil-
Ian would swear as they wished,
to prevent his temperance, Isaac
Bolton murdered him in his own
house. This was on the I'd day of
June, 1857. The atrocity of the
crime was widely commented on
throughout the entire country,
and il created much excitement
everywhere. Bolton managed by
had swearing, sharp man9uvring
and other tricks to have the venue
changed to Upton county, Ten
neSSee.
In the meantime his friends
were active. They managed to
have sheriff and other officers
elected to suit their purpose. A
jury was obtained for the case, and
after the expenditure Of more
than 100000 in money, Bolton
saved his neck and went clear. 1t
is a remarkable fact that in less
than four years afterward, eleven
of these same jurors had died vio-
client deaths, and the other also
died an'unnatural death some years
after.
BLOODsHED FOLLOWS BLOODSHED
A quarrel ensued between the
members Of the slave-dealiDg firm,
which had been dissolved by limi-
tation, within a few days of the
murderous deed, as to who should
pay the enormous expenses of the
trial. One party contended that
the firm should be charged with
the amount, and the other that
Bolton himself ought to foot the
bill alone. The quarrel resulted
seriously to the contending parties.
Ike Bolton, who did the killing,
died natural death some years
ago. One after another the rest
were killed in alterations with
each other. Finally Tom Dickens
killed Wade Bolton as before men
toned, by shooting him down in
front of Court Square. In six
months Dickens was assassinated
while riding along the public road,
a dozen miles or SO from this city,
and near his home. A short time
after that Tom Dickens, his son,
while trying to gather testimony
to prosecute the supposed murder
ers of his father, let his loaded gun
drop carelessly the conclusion
caused it to go off and send the
contents through his bosom, caus-
ing his death.
This was The last death by vio-
lence. Since then several promi-
nent members of the family have
died in the usual way, and the
survivors are in litigation as to
how the estate shall be divided.
Immense sums have been expend-
ed in feeling attorneys in the civil
suits since the trial of Ike Bolton.
Wade Bolton gave to a single
member of his counsel aplantat!on
on the Tallahatchie river in Mis-
sissippi which cost him 1914 ,000.-
The place, however, failed to rea-
lie for the attorney more than one
sixth of its original cost.
The bloody feud having termi-
mated, the law contest will be like
ly TO end some day, and after that
the heirs of the estate will doubt
less receive their respective por-
tions, that is if anything remains
to divide.

FRESH AIR.
How Shall We SIeep-CIosed
Windows and Night Air.


The Westminster Review quotes
from Miss Nightingale, some very
sensible remarks on the subject Of
night air. Her accomplishments as
a scholar, her experience as a nurse,
give great weight to her views on
this important subject. She says
the dread of night air is an extraor-
binary fallacy What air can we
breath at night but a night air.
Our only choice lies between pure
night air from without or foul air
from within. 1t is unaccountable
that most people prefer the latter
What would they say if it is proved
to be true that one-half of the dis
eases that we suffer from are occa-
stoned by people sleeping with their
windows shut? An open window
during most nights in the year can
never hurt any one. In great cities
night air is often the purest and
best that can be obtained during
the twenty-four hours. Therefore,
in town it would be better, if either
must be done, to shut the windows
during tue day than during the
night, for the sake of the sick.
The absence of the smoke and the
quiet of the streets make the night
the best time for airing the pa
tients. A physician considered as
high medical authority on eonsump-
tion and climate, asserts that the air
in London is never so pure as after
10 O'Clock at night.
An immense amount Of fresh air
is required for healthy respiration.
The average respiration of man is
estimated at twenty-fouF cubic
inches, and the average number Of
respirations during a minute is
twenty. Therefore. 400 cubic feet
of air pass through the lungs of an
ordinary man in twenty-four hours.
And yet, knowing these facts, we
shut up our house and go to sleep
without a thought for the supply Of
the life giving oxygen, as necessary
for the well-being of the delicate It's
sues of the body. If we had to buy
pure air as we do precious stones,
we should soon appreciate its
worth. Because it is s'free as air'
we are unwilling to take the pains
and care to regulate our windows
for its judicious supply, and care
lessly breath q tainted atmosphere,
which brings disease and the thou
sand ills to which flesh is heir, as
the penalty for the transgression of
physical laws.

City Court Proceedings.

The keen scented keeper of law
and order in Pulaski, John Arch,
was standing thoughtfully the other
day peering with instructive gaze in
the direction of the late st. Charles,
in sleepy hollow. This celebrated
Cafe had its day, but our city read
ers remember its hapless fate, and the
conhagration which left it a mass of
charred ruins. Now hard by the
historic remains stands an unpre-
tentious shop, the late Ben Mel
son, Knight of the plane, former
proprietor. This shop being in
close vicinity to the ancient, famous
clubhouse, is the present resort of
those who were wont to visit the
old one. Here meet in high carni-
val, by day and night, colored
gentlemen of elegant leisure, to
while away the hours. Now it oc-
Cured to our vigilant chief of police
that there was something in the
wind. The very air seemed dis
turbed and was ominous of dire dis

went for this den of darkness, but
before he reached the spot, sounds

monium with all its diobolical CO.

sped, but the conflict thickened.
AS the swOUp of the trained falcon
upon the unconscious cOvey, startles
the timid ledglings, so did the sud

move from their hiding places, this
charmed circle. That is to say
Terrell Bledsoe, Riley Douthit,
Whitlock Field, Henry Matthews
and Shep Craig. These were the
chief actors in the sportive scenes,
but there were many spectators.
The meeting had opened with hilar-
| iOus diversions of the Jack O'Club
kind, but waxing warm in the
game, disputes arose, then threats,
then battle fiercely ragged, with
rocks and sticks and knives, and
those who had least concern in
these amusements, emptied the
house as fast as one small door
could accommodate their hurried
egress. There was mounting in
hot haste, and running to and fro
all faces gathered 6Iackness, and
a general stampede, pell-men, knock

The M. 81 X. RaiIr DAD.

That the Memphis and Knoxville
R. R. will benefit our town, will be
readily seen from the following facts
and figures which we are informed
can be relied on.
Our merchants now pay on first
class freight from Boston to Pulaski
81 IL per cwt. OF this amount the
roads between Boston and Louis
vile receive 48 cents, and the Louis
vile and Nashville r. R. SO cents.
From N. Y. to Pulaski frst-class
freights are 81, % per cwt, of which
the L. ds N. R. R. gets 63 cents.
From Cincinnati to Pulaski, $1,12
of which L. & N. R. R. get SO cents.
1t is about five times as far from
Boston to Louisville as from Louis
vile to Pulaski, yet freights are
about % per cent less. Consider
ing the distance, the rates charged,
from Louisville to Pulaski are
about seven times as high as they
are from Boston to Louisville. The
reason is apparent-between Louis
and Pulaski there is no competi-
tion.
When the NJ. & K. R. r. shall be
completed to Tennessee river, goods
from n. Y. and Boston will be de-
Iivered in Pulaski at fully 30 per
cent less than is now charged, while
there will be a saving of 80 per cent
or more from Cincinnati.
Suppose that one of our promi-
nent firms, say Rosenau, or Ballen-
tine & Irvine-pay every year a
thousand dollars for freight on
goods shipped from Boston and
n. Y, the Narrow Gauge will save
them $3.50 or more.

What to do in Case OF an Acct
dent.

Prof. Wilder, of Cornell Univer-
sity, gives these short rules for ac-
tion in case OF accident:
For dust in the eyes, avoid rub
bing; dash cold water in them; re-
move cinders, etc, with the round
point of lead pencil.
Remove insects from the ear by
tepid water. Never put a hard IN
strument into the ear.
If an artery is cut, compress il
below.
If choked, go upon all fours and
cough.
For slight burns, dip the part in
cold water; if the skin is destroyed,
cover with yarnish.
For apoplexy, raise the head and
body. for fainting, lay the person
aat.-Free Press.

Meat is meat these days. The sto
ry goes that Mr.. Moses H. Nichols
from Bradshaw's crystal stream,
bought some meat, not long since,
from Messrs Goodman & Co., paid
for it, and called that evening to get
it. The story proceeds that the
merchants refused to let it 90, al
leging that he had not paid the bill.
He said he had, they replied he
hadn't, and thereupon followed a
war of the roses, in which Flanders
capitulated, and the meat was sur
rendered. But not until after a het-
erOgeous tussle and a miscellaneous
wool-pulling on all sides, three
against one, anil one against three.
