The heaviest Sale since tilc Eve
OF Ihc American war.

LONDON, Nov. 3.-Thc Liverpool
Post to-day says: yesterday was the
most excited day the cotton market
has experienced for years, and the
enormous sale has thrown business al
together out of gear. Yarn prices are
raised all round. There are large of.
fers at about I'd. advance, but they are
mostly declined. so little business re-
suits. Exports of yarns are more ac-
tive, and show in most cases, a larger
advance. Business, in cloth is at a
standstill. Buyers do not follow the
upward movement cagerl y, and sellers
dare not go on, even at recent fullest
quotations, without further instructions
from their principals.
The circulars of the Liverpool Cot
ton Brokers Association, is its review
of the week ending last evening says:
Cotton continues in extensive demand
and prices have advanced considerably
for almost every description. :Ameri-
can has been extraordinarily active,
but freely offered. Prices have adj
vanced from 3 Led. to Id, the lower
qualities being exceptionally scarce.
For Sea Island there has been mod
crate inquiry and prices are unchang-
cd.

Kind NyOrds-Use Them.

Because they fall pleasantly on the
ears of all to whom they are addressed,
and it is, therefore, one of the ways of
promoting human happiness.
Because they leave an impression in
your favor, and thus prepare the way
for your greater influence over others
for good.
Because kind words powerfully con-
tribute to sOoth and quiet your own
spirit when ruffied by the unkindness
of others.
Because they show the difference be-
tween you and the rude, malicious, or
revengeful, and are suited to show
them their wrongs.
Because they are suited to stir up
the kind affections Of your own heart.
There is a sweet music in such a voice
rightly to effect the soul.
Because they are so uncommon, use
them, that there may be more of such
bright stars in our dark armament.
Because they did aid in carrying out
the injunction, "be courteous" "be
kindly affectionate one to another"
Because you can not conceive of
any true benevolent being who would
not use then.
Because you have heard such words
from your God, and hope to hear such
forever.

GEORGE GILLESPIE of Scott, Wayne
comfy, Pa, while passing through the
woods in that township one day last
week, on his way to hunt pigeons, saw
crOuching on the limb of a maple tree
about ten feet from the ground large
catamOunt, and thonghtlessly fred a
load of shot at the animal. 1t drop
ped to the ground, and glared savage
ly at the hunter. Gillespie eluded it,
and quickly put the contents of the
other barrel into its face and eyes.
This blinded the infatuated beast, but
it was not inclined to surrender, and
sprang about wildly after its assailant
guided by the sound of his feet dubbed
it with his gun, and cut its throat
with a knife. The catamount was
three feet fourinches long, and weighed
sixty pounds,

The present policy of the Govern
ment toward the hostile indians, as
recently explained by Gen. Sherman,
is to dog them till they succumb. He
is of the opinion that the war and its
results are mainly determined since
the victory of Gel. Miles, and that the
complete subsection of the hostiles is
only question of time. The Indians
who surrender at the agencies now are
being deprived of their arms and that
their final treatment will be more rig
orous in many ways. The General
promises that the country shall be
made so safe that no white man will
be afraid to enter it,

GOOD ADVICE TO THE YOUNG

Avoid all boastings and exaggera=
tons, backbiting, abuse, and evil
speaking, slang phrases and Oaths
in conversation; depreciate no mans
qualities, and accept Inequalities of the
humblest kind in hearty and appre-
ciative manner; avoid giving offence and
if you do offend, have the manliness to
apologize; infuse as much elegance as
possible into your thought as well as
your actions; and asyou avoid
vulgarities, you will increase the en-
jOyment of life, and grow in the respect
of others.

The poor day laborer who earns,
with horny hands and sweat of brow,
coarse food for n wife and children
whom he loves. is raised by his gener-
Gus motive to true dignity; and though
wanting the refnements of life, is a
nObler being than those who think
themselves absOlved by wealth from
serving others. 1t is worthy of note
that the men and women who think
most highly of themselves and most
meanly of others are those who render
back to society, for the good things
they enjoy, the smallest return of per-
sOnal effort.-ChmRiaq

When you see young and woman

LincOIn's Remains.

SPRINGFIELD, Nov. s. ia most
dastardly attempt was made last night
to steal the bones of President Lincoln
from the cemetery vault here. The
plot was suspected some weeks since,
and Elmere Washburne, U. S. De
tective Tyrrell and assistants watched
the vault last night. The scoundrels
broke in the outer and inner doors of
the vault, opened the several cases or
sarcophagtus, and were about to make
off with the remains when the detective
sprang out. The accidental discharge
of a pistol alarmed the robbers, and
they fled precipitately and escaped in
the darkness. A slight clue to their
identity remains, and their captors is
probable.

nothing but the resultant to bodily
powers. Why, then, IS my soul the
