tried to separate the men. In the struggle
the parties moved out into the street..
GeiSler and Kountz held on to their men,
Kountz to John Devote, and Geisler to
Herman Bsack, and presently got them
partially separated At this moment Bisack
took out a little iron-handled pocket-knife
with a rather short, dagger-Shaped blade,
and had it in his hand open. He was not
in reach of John Devote, but was strug-
Cling with the officer to get loose and get at
his man, and Devote was doing the same.
The moment they were pulled apart, and
John Devote saw the knife, he cried out
"He'S got knife." Dominic Devote then
rushed up behind Patrolman Geisler and
striking over Geisler's shoulder, planted
terrible blow with his fist on the back OF
Bisack's head, rather below the ear. When
struck he fell, and it is alleged that Dom
inic then planted a terrible blow on his
temple with his heel.
Lieut.. Benninger arrived on the scene to
interfere, but by this time Bisack was dead.
He arrested the Devotos, and while they
were in the custody of the officers Dominic
was felled by blow from bowlder in the
back of the head thrown from behind. By
standers say VIM Henning threw the bowl
der, and he was arrested Tor it, but deposit
ing bail was let out of the Station-hOuse.
John Devote was locked up at Bremen
street Station and Dominic was taken to the
Cincinnati Hospital He was defeated as
delegate The wound is dangerous one.
Devote was before the Court this morning
on the charge of manslaughter, and had his
case continued until next Wednesday.
Coroner Stitch was informed of the case,
and ordered post mortem examination to
be made by Dr. G. Holdt. The hearing of
the testimony will begin next Monday.

Many thousands of dollars were made out of the
corner in wheat on the Chicago market in July.
A Chicago paper notes that only one commission
house foresaw and notified their customers twice
by special circular of the pending corner. Their
circular, dated July Sd. gave synopsis of the sit
uation and probabilities of large corner. Their
second circular, OF July 10th, when wheat was CSC
bushel, said the corner is assured and that wheat
would advance to 81 10, which proved to be ex-
actly the figure. This house made more money
for their customers for the capital invested than
any other commission house in Chicago They
were shrewd enough not to bear the burden of
sustaining the corner yet reap the full benefit of
it. They are the old house OF w. I. Soule Co.,
12S and 1870 La Sale street. Investments OF large
or small amounts can be made through them with
absolute safety They send instructions OF how to
operate gratis on application.

what can be cured more promptly and eff

that times without number, diseases, uni

reach of medicine, have melted away under
the action alone of these remedies. And
the work was done so quickly, with so little
inconvenience to the patient, that in many
cases the pain was gone almost ere he or

TattlerS.

Every community is cursed by the
presence of q class ofpeapie who make it
their business to attend to everybody's
business but their own. Such people
are the meanest specimens of dcpraved
humanity which an All-wise Providence
permits to exist on this earth. 1t is we'll
known that almost every person is some
times disposed to speak evil of others,
and tattling is sin from which very few
can claim to be entirely exempt.
But the object Of our present article
is to speak of that distinct class Of tat
tiers who make tale-bearipg the con-
stant business OF their lives. They .pry
i into The private afoirs of every family
in tho poighborhood /; they know the
exact state of one peighbor's feelings
toward another ; they understand every
body's faults, and no little blunder or
misdemeauor ever escapes their vigilant
watchtuluess. They, are particularly
well-postea upon everything connected
with courtship and matrlmony, know
who are going to marry whom, and can
guess the exact time whom it will take
place. They, watch every movement OF
parties suspected Of matrimonial inten-
tions, and if there is the slightest chance
to create a disturbance, excite jealousy
or Abreak up match. they take imme-
date adyapfage of it and do all in their
power to keep people in constant state
CT yexa,iou. They glide qnietly, from
gentleman to lndy, from mother to
daughter, from father to SON; and in
the ears of all they pour their dark, bit:
ter whispers Of slauderand abuse, and
at the same time pretend to be the most
sincere friend Of those they talk TO-
Their black and nauseous pills of mali
cous SANDER and suenr.coated with
smiles and honey words of friendship.

Language OF Finger-Rings.

In case Of a gentleman wishing to
marry-literally 'in tho market with
his heart-he wears plain or chased
gold ring upon the first fngerof his left,
or heart hand, When success attends
his suit, aud he is actually engaged, The
ring passes TO the second 6nger.f After
marriage it passes to tho third finger.
If. however, the gentleman desires to
tell the fair ones that no not only is uot
in the market, but that he does not
design to marry at all, he wears the sig
net upon his little finger, and all the
ladies may understand that hc is out of
their reach. With the fair sex the
laws of the ring are: A plain or chased
gold ring on the little finger of the right
hand implies mot engaged or. in
palmer words, ready for proposals,
sealed or otherwise. When engaged
the ring passes to the third finger of the
right hand. When married, the third
finger Of the left hand receives it. If
the fair one proposes to defy all siegss
to her heart, she places the ring on the
first and fourth 6ngers-one on EACH
like two charms to keep away the temps
ter. Itis somewhat singular that this
latter disposition of the ring is rare.

Be Kind to Your Wife.

Friend, your wife loves neatuess now
when you enter that home which she is
trying to make attractive to you, see that
YOU show a corresponding desire. You
like to see your wife neatly and tastefally
dressed at home follow example, and
throw off, with the care of the world,
your soiled garments and be clean and
tasty. When you take your paper to
read do not read to yourself and leave
her to lonesome thoughts while sowing
or mending, but remember that she, too,
has been working hard all day, and is
still working. Read to her whatever
interests you, so that her opinions may
grow with yours and that she may CON-
prehsnd something besides love stories,
of which loo many have read more than
they should,

Trouble Universal.

Boys and girls NOPE in the corner
many time, thinking nobody else ever
had such hard lesson, or so much rea-
son to cry over trouble. They are in
danger Of growing into fretful men and
women, who will find their burden Of care
the heavier because they will not look
abroad to see the load on their noighbor.
Sorrow is often turned from bitter to
sweet, when wo open our hearts to share
it with another.
A certain prince was overwhelmed
at the death Of his daughter, quite
sure that no one else had been thus
afflicted. Wbereupon, a wise man OF
his court promised to do an impossi-
BILE thing. II will restore thy daugh-
ter to life" said hc' provided thou
art able to engrate on her tomb the
names of three persons who have not
mourned." The servants of the prince
were sent at once to search the country.
They went into cities and villages, and
even into houses asking all manner OF
questions. They sat for hours, perhaps
watching and listening, and taking notes
of all they heard. They went even to
tile cemeteries aud read the name
| and epitaph on each tomb, Rich and
poor, high and low; were alike
visited and obliged to tell their family
affairs. At last, after much travel and
earnest endeavor, the servants returned
aud declared that their search had been
! in vain. In all the kingdom no one was
to be found who had not at some time
felt the pangs Of grief. The prince
turning TO the sage, Acknowledged hI'
want of outstanding, and promised thai
he would find relief from his own sor.
row by seeking to comfort others.
