A Woman OF Shirt.

The Paducah .(Ky.) Nes0s relates the
following: A pitched battle was fought
in the Sunday-school at Hollis school
house. on the Lovelaceville road, about
fifteen miles from Paducah, on Sunday
last which for time created consider
able connection, and resulted in the Sc
we're injury of young man known AZ
"Step-John Rudolph" by young lady
named Miss Melissa Collier. 1t appears
that Rudolph is long-tongued individ-
ual, and that he had slandered Miss Col
her, who is considered young lady OF
excellent standing in that community.
Learning that he was at the Sunday
school above mentioned, and being ex-
asperated beyond measure, she armed
herself with q hickory club and entered
the house crying. The superintendent
was just about to begin reading chap
ter in the Bible when he was interrupted
by the exclamation, "Where is the
scoundrel2" The whole school looked
up IN utter amazement, and discovered
the lady making toward the corner
where Rudolph was seated, with des-
peration in her eyes. Swinging her
club as she approached Rudolph, she
was heard to say, "Oh, here he is |"
and whack went the shillalah upon his
head, giving him a glancing blow, but
Of sufficient force to knock him over on
the bench. Being in a corner, he could
not get out handily, and Miss @. seized
the club with both hands and gave him
a terrible beating over the head, body,
and arm, which he held forward for pro-
lection. The superintendent endeav-
ored to hold the young lady to prevent
her from killing Rudolph, but he could
do nothing with her, and not till further
assistance came could she be taken away
from the object of her hatred. Ru-
dolph's arm was very badly hurt. He
employed Gov. King to assist Mr.. Sam
uel Bryce, county attorney, in prosecut-
ing the case, and the trial came off be-
fore Squire Emmett Rudolph, resulting
in fine of one cent and costs against
the young lady. Step-John Rudolph
was fined IS. ''---e-------7

Simple Bookkeeping.

Daniel Drew's curious testimony,
which shows that he kept no books of
account for his complicated stock trans
actions. makes it probable that this was
one of his habits as drover which he
has kept up through life. In partner
ship suit between two drovers, brought
in this city some years ago, the evidence
was that they made a "wad" of the
money which each originally put into the
concern. Whichever acted as the buyer
of cattle-sometimes one and sometimes
the other-carried the "wad ;" each put
into it what he received, and each drew
from it what he spent. After some
years, they divided the wad equally.
That was all there was of their system OF
bookkeeping. York Tribune.

The Socialists.

The american Socialist gives an nc
count OF the Socialistic communities in
the United States. The Inspirational-
lists OF Amana, Iowa, number l, 450, are
led by woman, and permit but do not
encourage marriage. The Harmony So
ciety of Economy, Pa, has about 100
members and owns 100000 worth of
property, accumulated by manufacture;
marriage is prohibited. The Separatists
of Zoar, Ohio, number 800, own 81, 000,-
600 in property, and discourage marry
ing. The above mentioned are German.
Noyes' Perfectionists, ut Oneida and
Wallingford, practice what they call
"complex marriage" are worth $500, 900,
or more, and are manufacturers, publish
ers, and agriculturists. The Shakers
have eighteen societies in seven states,
practice celibacy, and generally are pros
porous financially. The Icarians of
Corning, Iowa, are French, marry regu.
larly, number sixty-fve, and are not
wealthy.

Rough ON the Deputy.

A man with peculiarly mean and re-
pulsive expression of countenance was
brought into court in San Antonio,
Texas, to be sentenced for stealing some
clothes off line. As he was known to
be very slippery character. one Of the
handsomest and most vigilant deputy
sheriffs took seat by his side. After q
while the prisoner leaned over and whis-
pered to the officer: "Won't you do me
one little kindness2" The officer prom
ised, with beaming smile, to do so.
The prisoner whispered: "Then sit a
leetle further off; I'd rather pay hum
dred dollars than have people take me
for deputy sheriff. The kindly smile
disappeared very suddenly from the
officials face.

Silent Witnesses.

A curious incident occurred yesterday
morning in trial before the Fifty
seventh Street Civil court. A witness
was called in the case who was deaf and
dumb, and could neither read nor write.
Another deaf mute, who could read and
write, was called to act as interpreter.
The first was sworn to answer truly to
the second, who was in turn sworn TO
put the questions given by the court and
make the answers as gwen in reply.
Each question had to be written down
for the interpreter, who made signs to the
witness. The witness answered In the
same way, and the replies were written
out and handed in as evidence.-New

A Mischieyous Elephant.

The elephant in Montgomery Queens
circus, San Francisco, discovered pock-
ct in the back part of girls dress, as
she was leaning against the rope and
looking the other way. He reached in
with his trunk and brought out an ap-
pie, which he ate. Another trial yielded
package of gum drops, and third
some peanuts. Again he essayed and
got hold of bottle of ammonia, the
contents of which went the way of the
apple, the candy and the peanuts. In
stantly the resentful elephant obliterat-
ed the girls hustle, filing the air with
bits OF cloth, newspaper, and whale
bone. They covered her with shawl
and took her home. la

Superstition.

In Georgia sick negro believed that
he had been bewitched by a woman
neighbor, and fortune teller said that
the only way to be cured was to cause a
dog to drink tablespoonful of the
neighbours blood. A son of the invalid,
aided by two companions, undertook to
get the blood. They entered the wo-
mans house at night, bound her in a
chair, cut a cash in one of her arms,
caught the blood in vial, and gave it
TO deg. The report does not describe
the effect upon the sick man.

There is prospect of great harvests
this year. The yield of fruit, of grass,

made the hard times still harder TO bear;

infinitely better than the one described
in the Dressrlaher and MiILiner
as requiring no sewing on. The Ameri-
can self-attaching button can be set on
in two seconds and removed in one, will
hold more firmly than any other button
can hold, and so fastened by much
more simple arrangement than a fastener

DUFFIELD's PATEET.-The patent
warming apparatus of Mr.. Dufheld, for
use on street cars, is now undergoing q
test on car No. 7, and appears TO give
general satisfaction. The apparatus is
placed under the platform of the car,
occupying space OF about fourteen
inches square, and the fuel used is char
caol. Underneath this water
pan is fitted, with faucet,
by which the water can be drawn
off when the car is run into
the stable. The pan is supplied with
water by pipe running along the H.
side of the Car. along the floor, from
the reservoir, standing in the front end,
and the hot water is conducted back in
larger pipe, running parallel and
emptying into the reservoir again. Thus
continued circnit is kept up. The res
ervoir is nothing more than an enlarged
extension ofthe four-inch galvanized iron
base pipe, and runs up from the floor
to the window sill, in no
way mountaineering the passengers. II
will mold about eight gallons water,
and is fitted with an escape steam pipe
and stop cock. This reservoir, as we'll
as the floor pipe, is cased in a heavy
cloth covering, and looks very neat. AT
present the pipe runs along only one side
of the car, though branch can be easily
put entirely around the floor or through
the middle" As yet the company have
not accepted the apparatus as perma-
nent fixture on their cars, but it is con-
fdently hoped, if it prove, as is ex-
pected, perfect success, that it will find
place on all the cars on the line and
travel by this means be made much more
comfortable thBn it now is.
