was about 10 stable his charger, he dis
covered small pair of boots in the back

hero's mind; but as there were no fee,

TO have finished its tune. The boots
were duly delivered. ard conscience
cleared by two such kind scts was being

have been seen black colt madly 6y ing

Is this the way good deeds which Cal

the importance OF Chicago as the great

alive to the advantage derived from hav-
ing an institution OF their magnitude and

They employ from 500 to 700 hands 10
their immense factory, and have abund-
ant means 10 carry out any arrangement
they desire. and the character OF their
tobaccos has become q standard for eX-
cellence iu the West The celebrated
brand of "Matchless" is more largely
sold than any other one brand OF plug
tobacco in the United States; while their
Fruit Cake" and Pioneer" brands are
fast becoming renowned for their excel

We bespeak Tor this enterprisiug con-
Germ the mos. abundant success In their
enlarged field OF operations. They guar
antee their tobaccos In every respect,aud
have gained their immense trade simply
by manufacturing nothing but the finest
grades OF tobacco. which must sooner or

The accounts Of the brutal assaults on
Judge Chisholm and his daughter by q
Mississippi mob, as already published By
Us, were bad enough. But it gives q
much deeper sense Of the intensity Of
hatred and the utter barbarism of the
community to know that the mangled and
hopelessly wounded father was compelled

vent his end from being fastened By shots
from asssssins inpatient at his lingering
hold upon life, and that the heroic young

ARRESTED FOR FRAUD.-Mr. j. f. Full
Ter, postmaster Of the town Of East Heb
ron, and a prominent trader there, by his
representations induced the firms Of Smith
Gage & Co., w. f. i c. r. Milliken,
Elias Thomas & Co, William Pulsifer j.
Co., and others to credit him for goods to
quite large amount. Mr.. Fuller met a
note last winter, but it is claimed that he
has made no payment since the 18th of
January. The creditors here, suspecting
fraud, engaged detective Matthew Adams
to investigate the matter. Upon his rep
reservations Mr.. 7. H. Haskell, attorney
for some of the creditors, got out war
rant from Judge Fox of the United States
District Court, and Deputy Marshal Will
son arrested Mr.. Fuller and brought him
to this city Saturday. He was taken be-
bore Judge Fox, charged with fraudulent:
proceedings. He plead not guilty and
was released on $4,000 bail. &c. Hutch
inson of East Hebron and j. 2. Hudson
of this 'city, are his bondsmen. Mr.. Full
Ter has been in business in East Hebron
for twenty years, and the people of that
village are unwilling to believe that he is
guilty of the charge against him. He
says he was trying to sell his goods to
meet his obligations, and that he can show
fully that everything is all right. He

ASTONISHING THE CHIvALRY.-Dr. H..

The Cincinnati Commercial, is teetota-
Ter. He says that during his travels in
the South he is invited at least $50 times
a year to "take a drink" He always
firmly but politely begs to be excused,
giving as his reason that he never indul-
ges in spirituous or malt liquors, and he
dercribes in very amusing manner the
effect Of this announcement upon the
average Southern gentleman. First. he
looks at the correspondents feet, then
slowly raises his eyes, taking in by de-
grees his whole person until he reaches
the top OF his head. Then his eyes are
slowly depressed until they again rest
upon the ground, when he steps back one
or two PAGES, puts his hands on his hips,
and after a moments pause, says with a
tone Of great establishment, "Well, I'll
be damned :"
