Fight Between Jay Could nmd
Major A, Seleyer.

NEW YORK, August 2.-Jay Gould
was this morning accosted by Major a.
Selever, friend Of jim Keene, OF Gala,
fornis, while passing through the Ex.
change place. Words were exchanged,
when Selever struck Gould one or two
blows or the side OF the head, and then
picking him up threw him down the area
way, distance Of eight feet. Gould was
rescued by some friends, and was found
uniniured with the exception Of few
slight bruises. lie was able 10 walk to
his Office. The trouble is said to have
originated from Gould having betrayed
q combination to put up the price Of the
Lake Shore stock, in which Keene aud
Selever were interested. There was con-
siderable excitement on the Stock Ex.
change for a few minutes, as it was m.
mored that Gould had been seriously in.
jured.
sELLyER's TXrLAEATIoN.
Mr.. Selever thus explains the causes
which led to the personal encounter.
helped Gould at one time out OF the tight.
eat place he was ever in, and told him il
ever found him deceiving me 1 would
thrash him, and | have doueit. lie tried
to make me sell stocks when be was buy.
ing, aud in doing so tried to overeach me.
/ told him l would thrash him, and have
kept my word, even il he could not keep
his.
CAUSE OF THE DIFFICULTY.
A letter published before The meeting
says It was known that on Tuesday even.
ing Of last week, Keene, who had become
heavily loaded with stocks on accoun. OF
the great strike, went to Jay Gould for
assistance. 1t was accorded to him on
condition that he turned over 10000
shares Of stocks to cover Gould's shorts,
at about three per cent below the
closing prices. The market went up
until Monday aud Tuesday last,
when Lake Shore seemed TO he for
sale. When the quotation reached 81
Keene's brokers discovered that Jay
Gould, as soon as the market had gone
up TO the points from which it, broke
upon the progress OF the strikers, had
been selling stocks freely, and that his
pretended friendship was only a myth.
Russell Sage was also party TO the bull
movement, but remained on Keene's side.
Jay Gould had tricked them both and
both sought an interview, and after a
short and sharp conversation Keene De.
cided on shooting his betrayer, but was
prevented by Russell Sage, who rushed in
between the enraged operators.

PatrOnize Your neighbOr.

The growth of neighborhood,
village or town is simply the aggre>
gated Improvement of its individual
members. If every citizen would
give the preference to the people of
his own town in his outlay, quite an
addition might be made to the num-
ber of successful men in each neigh
borhood. Patronize your own village
blacksmith, carriage-maker, mechan-
ic and store-keeper help each other
along, cultivate pride in the pro-
gress and thrifty appearance of your
own community cast out that selfish
jealousy in q neighbor's prosperity.
There is sufficient competition in ev-
cry calling to keep prices as low as
can be afforded, aud in nothing can
the citizens of a county exercise a
more benign influence than in the
encouragement of a home trade and
patronage. 1t is the mutual interest
of all to have the largest possible
number of busy prosperous men in
each community. A successful man
soon shows his success in his surroun-
dings; he paints his house, erects
new fences, sets out shade trees,
prepares 4 flower pot for his wife,
improves his land and culture. every
item of which chance necessitates an
outlay of money and labor. These
not only benefit the
fortunate protector, but add to the
character and appearance of the
whole village, attract the attention
and admiration of every stranger
who enters the place. induce new
families TO move into town, and, best
of all, stimulates the neighborhood
to rivalry in the same line of i'm
proving their surroundings. Let
every citizen determine to patFonize
his neighbors, and watch the good
effect on the whole community.

REMARKABLE BRAINS.
A Bullet Taken from a Mans
Head and an Eight-penny Nail
from a WOman'S.
Wheeling Register

|
A Confederate soldier from the
Valley of Virginia in one of the
battles of the late civil war was
struck in the head by Minnie ball.
The ball passed through the skull,
and the surgeon, afraid to probe
the wound in search of it, left the
man to die. In the course of time
he recovered, but had lost his reason
and was sent to the Insane Asylum
at Staunton, where he remained for
eleven years. At length DIR. Faunt-
leroy, an eminent physician of that
city, obtained permission from the
Asylum authorities and friends of
the insane man to make surgical
examination of the head, with the
hope of finding the ball. He was
successful, and found the ball en-
bedded on the inside of the skull and
pushing against the brain. Unable
to extract it with any instrument at
hand, he took chisel and mortised
it out. As soon as the ball was re-
moved, reason resumed its control,
and the deranged one was in his
right mind. He says that he is not
conscious of anything that occurred
during the interval of eleven years
from the time he was struck on the
battlefield to the moment the pres
sure was removed from the brain,
all was blank to him.
Another case in the same county
of Augusta was that of boy whose
gun bursted while shooting, and
drove the lock into the brain. The
piece was taken out by a skilIful
surgeon without serious injury to
the patient.
But the most remarkable case
that l hear of was in the same neigh.
oorhood. It was that of a woman
subject to fits of mental derange-
nent, and, while in a spell of lunacy,
1rove an eight-penny nail into the
,op of her head, penetrating into
he brain-the nail having been driv-
sn up to its head. The nail was
lrawn out, and the woman has been
If sound mental condition ever

Lemons Cure for Consumption.

~ANAAOAAo - OSAA - AV4
A correspondent of an English
medical journal furnishes the follow
ing recipe as new cure for con-
sumption Put dozen whole lemons
in cold water and boil until soft mot
too soft) roll and squeeze until the
juice is all extracted, sweeten the
juice enough TO be paIatable, then
drink. Use as many as a dozen 8
day. Should they cause pain or
looseness of the bowels, lessen the
quantity and five or six a day uutil
better, then begin and use a dozen
again. BY the time you have used
five or six dozen you will begin to
gain strength and have an appetite.
Ofcourse as you get better you need
not use SO many. Follow these di-
rections and we know that you will
never regret it if there is any help
for you. Only keep it up faithfully.
We know of two cases where both
of the patients were given up by the
physicians, and were in the last
stages of consumption, yet both were
cured by using lemons according to
the directions we have stated. One
lady in particular was bedriddcn and
very low; had tried everything that
money could procure. but all in vain,
when to please friend, she was
finally persuaded to try the lemons.
She began to use them in February,
and in April she weighed 140 pounds.
She is a well woman to-day, and ike
ly to live as long as any of us.

The Reason Why Money is SO
Scarce.

The farmers are the only produc-
ers. and it is through their wheat,
corn. cotton, etc. that money is
brought into the State. But on the
other hand we have to buy every
thing manufactured from the North
and West. We buy everything
from a thresher to an axe-handle,
and this takes our money away, and
leaves but little in circulation. We
manufacture nothing, except a few
wagons in town, and most of the tim.
ber for them is brought here in the
shape of spokes, felloes and hounds.
If we wish TO keep our money at
home we must have manufactures.
We have an abundance Of wood, but
we make nothing out OF it. Our
buckets, pals. tubs, brooms are made
where wood is scarce. We can new
er be independent until we utilize
the raw material OF all kinds that
grows spontaneous on our hands.
We must learn to be more reliant
on our own resources and make az
we need, even 10 our clothes out Of
the cotton and wool we raise.-F Fort
Smith IN.
