A New Way of EvadinK the Revenue
Laws.
Huntsville Independent, Apnl 25th.l
It is curious to see what devices men
sometimes resort to to evade the revenue
laws. We have heard OF one who would
sell a grain of corn for seventy FIVE cents
and give the buyer of the grain of corn
a qssrt of the Juicy" The hiding Of
bottles where every one knew where to
End them is a familiar dodge. But one
Of the best we have heard comes
up from Cleburn county. 1t is
in connection with that weed which
soothes and intoxicstes." Our Cleburn
county genius had some leaf to.
bacco, which he was willing to let his
n~eighbors have, without the benefit Of a
government tax. He took his tobacco
and manufactured it into-what2 Into
horse. c%ollarsl he would sell the horse
collars, and his patrons would smoke
their pipes aud chew their guilds in
peace. He woull'take one plat of bark
weighed before HANDY, and five plats of
tobacco, likewise weighed beforehand.
In this proportion he made his collars.
We have heard Of " Durham" tobacco,
p" pig tail twist" sHd many other kinds,
but this device is novel to US.

Onoe Happy, Always Happy.

Sydney Smith once said, Mankind
is always happier for having been hap
py; so that il you make them happy
now, you can make them happy twenty
years hence by the memory OF it. A
childhood passed with due mixture Of
rational indulgenoes, under fond and
wise parents, diffases over the whole Of
life feeling of calm pleasure, and in
extreme old age is the very last remem-
brance which time eau erase from the
mind Of man. No enjoyment, however
uncomfortable. is confined TO the pres-
emit m mOment. A man is happy for life
for once having made an agreeable tour,
or lived any length OF time with pleas
ant people, or enjoyed any considerable
interval or innocent pleasure; which
contributes to render old men 30 mat.

carries them back to a world that is
past, and to scenes never to be renewed

An accomplished young lady daugh.
te. OF a pork-packer, in Cincinnati, was
engaged to be married to an educated
young man. Just before the happy day
she wrote her intended note, in which
she referred to the approaching nup-
shals, and a"dimund ring. The sensi-
tive young man wept over the orthogra-
ply, but had about made up his mind to
sacrifice himself, when the dread intel
ligence came that the father had failed,
and wasn't worth cent. He might
have forgiven the photography, but the
failure, never. And so there is in the

The house was small, and located il
one of the many little streets that are
hidden from the public eye by means
of their modest pretentions. A consts-
bic stood outside, experimenting Their
moval of q lot Of well-worn household
furniture. At the door was woman,
clasping to her frail breast q little baby
scarcely six months old. AT her side
and hanging on to her thin skirts were
three other children, the eldest not
above eight years of age. No one else
was near. Not word was murmured
as chair, bureau, bed and table went
out through the narrow doorway, and
on to the cart that was backed up in
front to receive tho goods. The face Of
the mother was q picture OF sadness and
despair. Her eyes were dimmad, her
lips trembled, and the little one at her
breast seemed to creep closer as the
sighs Of the parent broke out now and
then in heartrending manner. "0h
mamma, don't let him take my horse,

exclaimed the eldest, bright boy, as
he saw one OF the men earring to the

other, q wee bit of girl; "oh mamma,

pitiful sight to witness. and the mothers
heart could not help making one plea
for the things her darlings craved II
was no use. Everything was taken, and
few moments after the woman stood
in the centre OF what had once been
cheerful parlor, now utterly destitute,
with only the cold, barren floor meeting
her gaze. In another hour she and her
little ones would be turned into the
streets, without friend, without food,
without shelter.

A MURDEROUS ASSAULT.


At o'clock last evening the notorious
petty larceny thief Johnny Davis, who has
80 frequently been before the police tribunal
in this city for stealing and embezzling from
fast women, entered Winston's Club-rooms
With bludgeon concealed beneath his coat.
He walked stealthily around the premises as
if in quest of some person. At last he step
ped up to a faro game where, among many
others, Albert Staudenger, former bar
keeper at the Ormsby House, was sitting,
watching the progress of the game. n"
sooner did this fellow Davis see him than he
pulled his bludgeon, which proved to be a
heavy wagon spoke, from under his coat, and
without the slightest provocation, dealt
Staudenger a fearful blow over the head with
it. The blow stunned Staudenger ami felled
him to the floor When he was picked up it
vas found that he had a cash in his forehead
two inches long and about quarter of an
inch deep. DR.. Fox was Immediately sent
for, who, with the aid of another gentleman,
conveyed him to his office, where the in ured
mans wounds were dressed. The injury is
not fatal, but very severe and painful
one Eye witnesses declare that the assault
was the most unprovoked and brutal one
shey ever saw. They state that Staudenger
did not even look: less speak to his assailant,
and that no earthly reason can be assigned
for the attack unless Davis was
Whisky crazy. The would be murderer is
locked up in Jail. So much for the assault
Now for some personalities concerning this
man Davis: He has been an unsavory resi-
dent of the city for some three years, and
his sole ostensible occupation has been that of
errand boy for fast women, for whom no ser
vic, was too low or menisl to perform
Frequently when Entrusted with ar
ticles of value to pawn for these women he |
would gamble off the proceeds. The result |
would be that he would be jagged on a |
charge of grand or petty larceny, as the case
required it, but invariably would slip thro'
the meshes of the law by some technicalitv OF |
other He may also be guilty Of some more
Infamous crimes IN this city bat they have |
not come to light. 1t is also stated that he |
served a term in the State Prison, a place
where he ought to be now. Under any cir
eumstances he is an undesirable adjunct to
this town. and should he again escape the
punishment which he so richly merits, it is
to be hoped that some means will be adopted
TO rid the community Of this nuisance.

THE HUTCHINSONS.

Concerning a concert given at Eureka a fe"
nights SINCE the Eureka Leader of Tuesday
evening says 4" Music and melody seem t,
be the natural attributes of the Hut Crimson
Family. They are purely democratic III style,

noticeable in public people, and at once make
the audience at home Mr. John W. Hutch
iuson seems to have lost none of it's silvery
notes, and rang out as clear 20 years ago.
Mrs Hutchinson gave a recitation, 'GulltN
Or Not Guilty" which was rendered IN such
way as to admirably bring out the touching
sentiment of the piece. Miss Lilhe Phillips
sang Mrs. Lofty and l" in clear, correct
voice, which was warmly applauded, as was
also other well rendered songs. Henry j.
Hutchinson has IA fine baritone voice, shown &
immense compass, with fine tones and caref'
training. We predict that the Opera House
will DO filled this evening to hear this family
of sweet singers. We confidently assure ouI
readers that the entert ainment will be full OF
interest, and the treat of the season. They
have happy faculty of interspersng humor-
Gus sayings and rollicking songs, SO as to keep
the audience in the best of spirits" Our ex

this most excellent company of singers vii,
occupy orr new Opera House ON next Satur-
