Completely Carved-Up.

One of the most desperate ARRAYS
which ever occurred in this country
took place in the drug store of Sidney
Broaddus, at Stringtown, about miles
from this place, on Tuesday afternoon
last. Billy Patterson and Joe Hill have
been unfriendly for some time past,
and fight between the two has been
anticipated for several months. Both
are desperate men, and parties who
knew them were satisfied that when
they met in conflict there would be no
child's play. Both have been engaged
in number of fights, and Patterson
has been shot and cut several times,
and so desperately on more than one
occasion that his life has been despaired
of; but by some miraculous chance it
seemed he has recovered. His danger
Gus wounding, however, has not
improved his course of life. Hill has
also been regarded IS dangerous man,
and one not afraid of fiend or devil.
The two met on Tuesday evening, both
drinking. Persons who saw them be-
came satisfied at once that they meant
mischief. 1t was but few minutes
after meeting when they became en-
gagged in quarrel. Maddened with
drink, each drew his pocket-knife and
went to work to carve up the other.
One of the most desperate fights of
modern times was the result. With
true grit they hacked each other in the
most terrible manner. The fight last
ed only few minutes, bystanders hav-
ing interfered, but their gashed bodies
presented a most terrible and most
sickening sight. At the first onslaught
both throats were cut from ear to ear.
The windpipes were cut, but the iugular
was not severed, and they continued
their work. Hill was badly cut across
the nose, and then in the arm, the
artery having been severed. Patter-
sons nose was almost severed from his
face, and the skin of the forehead Just
above the eyes was lifted from the scalp,
and dangerous wound received in the
side, penetrating to the hollow. Yes
terday at noon both men were still
alive, but with no possible chance for
the recovery of either.-Richn1ond Reg

The Lost Letters.

Some Of the letters went astray
Out OF the alphabet one day,
And mixed up things in shocking way
That made il hard 10 1nd them;
They hid Themselves within tomb,
And thereby caught q shocking rheum.
And made pneumonia the doom
OF those they left behind them.
Some of the group were stricken dumb;
And one declared she had lost her thumb;
And another said that her toes were numb;
The bees were always in troubled
And there were two at the tail OF plough,
who couldn't remember exactly how
They fell together in such a slough,
And made their misfortunes double.
Their wounds, indeed, were so very slight,
That no one pitied their luckless plight,
But thought they were served exactly right
For being in such a quarter;
"But we're not to blame at al, !" said they;
The law Of the land we must obey,
Aud, right or wrong, we must 20 astray
With the most obedient danghterlD
So many q letter came TO grief,
And none might go to their relief,
Or ever decide who was the chief
OF the characterization;
They took 10 phgsic, and made us nurse
Them through the phthisic, and that was worse
And made the English language a curse
To the foreign population.
Nevertheless. though king should reign,
And every tongue in the world complain,
He could not put into place again
The letters in such confusion;
But here and there we will find them caught
In a terrible mari for they never fhouUht

Food Facts.

The world little imagines how much
tbs indebted to the laborious researches
of scientific medical men for many of
the most important truths relative to
human health, happiness and life. As
population increases and the value of
food is enhanced, the knowledge which
chemistry has elected is becoming more
and more valuable in a practical point
of view.
How much ability to labor can 1
derive by eating pound of potatoes or
dollars worth of brandy, beer or
ginP" are items which could be turned
to large account by multitudes of the
toiling poor.
Some kinds of food are more nutri-
tious than others, and if it should be
found that articles which are the cheap
est have the most nutriment, and give
the highest ability to labor, then kAowl-
edge becomes money to the poor. Ia
bles vary, but some of the general re-
suits are as follows: One pound OF rice,
prepared for the table gives So per
cent. of nutriment, and, consequently,
relative proportional ability to labor,
compared with other articles of food.
A pound of beef, costing fifteen cents
gives only 26 per cent. of nutriment.
According to these estimates, therefore,
rice as an article of food, is 100 per
cent. cheaper, 100 per cent. more valu-
able to the common laborer
than roast beef, yet countless
numbers of the poor in New
York strain point daily to purchase
beef at Is cents pound, when they
could get pound of rice for one-third
the amount, the rice, too, having three
times as much nutriment as the beef,
making practical difference of 600 per
cent, aside from the fact that boiled
rice is. three times easier of digestion
than roast beef, the rice being di-
gested in about one hour, roast beef re-
qUiring three hours and half. There
is meaning, then, in the reputed fact
that two-fifths of the human family
live mainly on rice. We compile, there
fore, the following tables for preserva-
ton, as being practically and perma-
nently useful. All the economist re-
quires is to compare the price of a
pound .of food with the amount of nu-
triton it affords:

CaSabianca.

The school-boy who does not know
and has never acclaimed Mrs. Heman's
poem, beginning, "The boy stood on
the burning deck" mas, says the Youth S
Companion, certainly missed treasure
and favorite. The history of the
"boy ''thus immortalized is not gener-
ally known, and Mr.. F. M. Colby pre-
pared it some time ago for the Morning
Star.
Owen Casabianca was a native of
Corsica, on which island he was born
in the year 1888. His father was Louis
Casabianca, q distinguished French
politician and naval commander, and
the friend of Napoleon, who, you will
remember, was also Corsican. He
was captain at the time of the Orient,
one of the largest vessels in the French
navy, magnificent ship of war, carry
ing 120 guns and 800 seamen.
Of Casabianca's mother we know lit
tie, save that she was young and beau
tiful Corsican lady, and devotedly at
tached to her son. Owen was her only
child, handsome, manly little fellow,
with her beauty In his flashing eyes and
dusky hair.
She died while he was yet very young,
and, when the green sod was placed
above her grave, the boy left the pleas
ant valley under the smiling bills of
Corsica, to go with his father and tread
the hard deck of a war vessel.
Mere child as he was, Casabianca
soon grew to love his fathers danger
Gus calling, and became favorite with
all on board. He was made midship-
man, and at the early age of 10 years
participated with his father in the bat
tie of the Nile.
The ship caught fire during the &C
ton. Soon after Captain Cassabiaca,
the father, was wounded by a musket
ball. Not yet disabled, he was struck
in the head some minutes later, by a
splinter, which laid him upon the deck
insensible. az WAS
His gallant son, unconscious of the
chieftain's doom, still held his post at
the battery, where he worked like the
hero he was. He saw the flames rag
ing around him; he saw the ships
crew deserving him one by one, and the
boy was urged to flee.
With courage and GOODNESS beyond
his years, he refused to desert his post.
Worthy son of Louis Casabianca, he
fought on and never abandoned the
Orient till the whole of the immense
vessel was in flames. Then, seeking
refuge on a floating mast, he left the
burning ship behind him.
But he was too late. The final catas-
trophe came like the judgment doom.
With an explosion so tremendous that
every ship felt it to the very bottom.
the Orient blew up, and from among
the wreck the next morning was pick
ed up the dead, mangled body of the
young hero whose story romance and
poetry can not make more heroic than
! it was.

Evolution has overtaken the Massa-
chusetts hens. On every hand are
found support and illustration for the
beautiful hypothesis with which the
name of Darwin has been linked, and
now the Yankee hen has come forward
to add her testimony. 1t is Pittsfield
fowl-the one particularly alluded to
and is owned by one Locke. She has
ceased laying eggs of the ordinary evoid
pattern, and has begun to produce eggs
with a hollow stem, resembling the
short clay pipe of an Irishman that has
been used about three years-the pipe
we mean. Clipping of one end of this
marvellous egg, we have perfect pipe
bowl, of the usual size, from the bot
tom of which extends stem turning at
right angle, about the size of pipe
stem, and an inch-and-ar half long.
Three of these have already been pro-
duced, and there are indications of
regular supply, if the feathered archi-
tect can be properly encouraged. As
Wallace has shown, new varieties tend
to become permanent, and even the So
called freaks of nature can be perpetu-
ated by careful protection and inter-
breeding. If Pittsfeld can establish a
new breed of Meerschaum fowls every
member of which can be relied on to
turn out good, strong egg, with a
handle to it, it will assume the first i'm
portance among our manufacturing
towns. Locke can knock off work, run
for the Legislature, and "make OF life
joyful holiday" An extra ration of
lime every morning would soon so
tougher the shells that they could be
smoked for some time without danger
of breaking, and the diet could be fur
Their modified for the purpose of i'm
proving the pattern and texture OF the
article.
For fancy purposes, the hens could
feed on creosote, yellow ochre, or car
mine, so that the pipes could be beau
tifully colored and decorated in the very
process of manufacture. A pipe, illu-
minated with fantastic and gorgeous
devices, without requiring industrious
devotion in back-rooms, would imme-
diately command premium in any
market, for many valuable and talented
young men, who now spend their even
ings in comforting delicate tinge upon
their meerschaums, would be released
for the benefit of quilting parties and
other social enterprises. 1t will be OBJ
served that all qualities and patterns OF
pipes can thus be produced
by artifcially breeding toward the
characteristic desired. By interbreed-
ing fowls that produce eggs with the
longest stems, stems of any length can
ultimately be attained, I'D it is not
improbable that an egg could at last
be reached having lid opening W tn
hinges, and perhaps hook to hang it
up by. There is no end to possibilities
in this direction. The substitution of
other minerals for lime in the feed
would be followed by corresponding
change of the egg to glass, porcelain,
china, and other precious wares, and
even the metals might proftably be in
troduced. 1t is not necessary to follow
up the hint. The Meersehaum Hen is
the hen of the future.-PEck.

Knowledge Is Power.

This nation of enlightened freemen. Edr-
cation is the cornerstone and foundation of our
government. The people are free to think and
act for themselves, and that they may act wisely
it is necessary that they be wellinformed. Every
individual gain increases public gain. Upon the
health of the people is based the prosperity of 9
nation, by it every value is increased, every joy
enhanced. Health is essential to the accomplish
ment of every purpose; while sickness thwarts
the best intentions and loftiest aims. Unto US
are committed important health trusts, which
we hold not merely In our own behalf but for
the benefit of others. In order that we may be
able to discharge the obligation of our trustee
ship and thus prove worthy of our generous
commission, it is necessary that we study the art
of preserving health and prolOnging life. 1t Is
of paramount importance to every person not
only to understand the means for the preserva-
ton of health but also to know what remedies
should be employed for the alienation of the
common ailments of life. Not that we would
advise every man under all circumstances to at
tempt to be his own physician, but we entreat
him to acquire sufficient knowledge of hls sys-
TEN and the laws that govern it, that he may be
prepared to take care of himself properly, and
thereby prevent sickness and prolong life. In
no textbook will the people find the subjects of
physiology and hygiene, or the science of life

good pudding can be made from
them. Break them up into small bits
and turn over them enough boiling bot
milk not only to cover them when dry,
but to let them soak out well. Chop
fine tablespoonfuls of suet, and add to
the milk. Also pat in pinch of salt
and sugar to taste. Put the pan on the
back of the stove, and let it stand until
the bread is soft; then mix it up with a
a spoon, and add well heated eggs to
each quart of milk, and a cupful OF
currants and raisins mixed. Turn it
into pudding dish; put few bits of
butter over the top, and also some
raisins, and bake for 20 minutes, or I'M
til the milk becomes set. If 3 orr eggs
are added, and 2 tablespoonfuls of
wheat flour, it can be boiled in a tin
pudding-mold, and turned out on a
platter, and served with the following
sauce: Take the whites of eggs, well
beaten; add to them the juice of /
lemon, with the peel grated, and ia
blespoonfuls of boiling milk. Stir in l
tablespoonful of pulverized sugar.
