WIT AND WISDOM.


No man is poor who does not think
himself so. But if in full fortune, with
impotence he desires more, he pro-
claims his wants and his beggarly con-
ditioA.-JeTeDly Taylor.
IT is the care of very great part of
mankind to conceal their indulgence
from the rest. They support them
selves by temporary expedients, and ev-
cry day is lost in continuing for to-mor-
row.-Johnson.
VANITY is a COMPOUNDED donkey-very
apt to put his head between his legs,
and chuck US over; but pride is fine
horse, that will carry us over the ground,
and enable us to distance our fellow
travelers.-MarryGt.
Poor RICHARDS maxim, "Pay as
you CO." is very good one, but if you
ever are tempted to run into debt let it
be for life-insuranee policy in favor Of
the girl you want to marry, so that in
case you should step down and out she
may have the wherewithal to wear a
pretty mourning suit AMI eaten better

As the sewing-circle season advances,
from week to week the deserving poor
are amazed into state of semi-insanity
by receiving red flannel shirts, made of
the backs of two skirts sewed together
with the arms ingeniously attached to
the side Sits in the tails. What wonder
that the poor complain?
JUDGE HoAR is fond of quiet fun.

Woman's Rights. He says: 81 GER
tainly never said any thing against
them, and they always seemed to me to
be kind of rights that, if l may judge Of
nv practical experience, are very apt
to take care of themselves. 1 say this

A FRENCHMAN more noted for his
conceit and for a certain amount Of
success with the fair sex than for the
cleanliness of his linen, was posing the
other day before beautiful and witty
woman, when he delivered himself OF
this rather arrogant sentiment: "Wom-
en-, 1 change them as do my shirts. -"
"Ah,n said the fair one, looking atten-
lively at the collar of his shirt, 81
should never have believed you so con-
slant"
THE latest style of young ladies' hats
is called the "Kiss-me-if-you-dare. u
When worn by q cross-eyed woman
, with a wart on her nose the defiance is
, terrible and unanswerable, but when il
is backed up by young pretty face
every youth with a spark of manhood

The Feeling I'm New York.

NEW YORK, Nov. 1O.-The political ex-
citement still overshadows the interest in
business, and for the moment the specula-
tive markets of Wall Street are more swayed
by the dispatches in relation to the vote Of
the disputed States than by any other inhu-
ence. In the stock market there was rush
in the first hour to sell all classes OF shares
without much regard other than political
considerations. The market then became
quieter, and a good part Of the decline has
since been recovered.

Poisoned by n Druggists Mis-
take.

The Cincinnati Enquirer says: Mr..
Micajah Bailey, well known Quaker
provision merchant of this city, who
had resided here for fully forty years,
died yesterday at o'clock in the after
noon, at his late residence, No. 289
Findlay Street, from the effects of a
dose of cyanide of potassa. 1t appears
that, feeling sick, he called to his as
sistance his family physician, DR.. La
BARGE, who prescribed the following
mixture:
R.-POtassa Prussiate, OF.
Aqua, OF.
Ms. Tablespoonful every hour5.
LABARRE.
The prescription was taken to the
drug store of A. F. WOesten, at the
northeast corner of York and Baymiller
Streets, and by him compounded. I'm
fortunately, in putting it up, Woesten
substituted cyanide of pOtassa for the
potassa prussiate ordered by DIR. La
baree. Mr.. Bailey took dose of the
mixture about 10 O'Clock, and in few
moments was attacked with terrible
pains, which terminated in paralysis Of
the heart, and he died about noon,
though every thing that medical skill
could devise was done to counteract
the effects of the poison. DR.. Maley
was summoned in the afternoon, and
impaneled jury, who, after viewing
the body, adjourned the further consid-
Grafton of the inquest until next Mon
day. At the COroner's order DR.. L. X.
Longworth will make q pOst-mOrtem
examination of the remains, and Prof.
Wayne will make chemical analysis
of the contents of the stomach. Woesten
was arrested and taken before
Squire Rowekamp, who held him in
81 600 bail TO answer the charge OF
manslaughter. His father gave bond
for him, and he was released from GUS
tody. Mr.. Bailey was one of our most
respected merchants, and his terrible
taking off has cast deep gloom over
his friends and acquaintance. He was
about 70 years of age, and leaves a
family. His life was insured for $4,000.
Woesten, the druggist whose fearful
blunder has caused the loss of a valua-
BILE life, is young man who is highly
spoken of by his acquaintance. For a
number of years he had charge of the
drug store of X. F. Eisellohr, at the
corner of Main and Abigail Streets, and
was always accounted careful phar-
macist. In explanation of his mistake
he states that he glanced at the pre-
scription when handed him, and then
consulted a pharmacopeia. By some
mental obliquity which he can not ac-
count for, he turned to cyanide of po-
tassa, and, seeing the dangerous char
acter of the drug, did not mix as large
a quantity of it as he thought the pre-
scription demanded. No one was more
Mortified than he when he learned of
his horrible mistake. This is terrible
warning to druggists to verify all dan
gerous prescriptions before compound
ing them, and we hope it will not pass
UNDECIDED.

formally closed on the 10th. The day
was rainy and the exercises where held

packed. After appropriate addresses
by the principal officers of the EXPOSE

choice musical selections, the audience
all joined in singing "America," after
which President Grant declared the In
ternational Exposition of 1876 closed.
The Doxology was then sung, and the

sITTING-BULL's TACTICS.

The plan of the Indians, it appeared
now, was to get the Fifth Regiment to
pass the main force, and thus become
entangled in the ravines and low ground,
while by browning the surrounding
heights they would be enabled to pour
a concentrated fire on the mass and re-
peat the Custer butchery. General
Miles was not the man to be thus en-
trapped, and by Captains Carter and
Casey's moves defeated the first part of
the programme. His plan was as per-
feet as its execution was complete.

THE BATTLEFIELD.

On the precipitous rise Immediately
before us, composed of high gravelly
knobs, were the main body of Sioux.
The ravine of the stream divided to the
right, one portion running far to the
right, the other extending to the north
and left along the line of the advance.
On the left of this branch was very
high ridge, commanding the whole plan
of the field, and distant from the ravine
few hundred yards. This was COW
cred by Indians. The prairie beyond
the heights, on which the main body of
the Sioux had taken up position, was
rolling, as usual, each swell rising high
er for several miles. The ground On
the right of the right branch of the
stream was similar to that on the left,
but not so high.
