A Dangerous Negro.

On Monday evening at the police sta
ton colored individual known as Wm.
Walker was brought into court. The
su ubstanee OF his offending was this:
that he was manifestly too free in the
use of revolver. William. being
drunk, no doubt, while crossing tht
railroad bridge on Thursday afternoon
was seized with a desire to execute a
double fantastic on the board walk
A gentleman named Smith told him to
stop. William looked upon this order
as culpable Infringement of his
rights as an American citizen and hn
very promptly whipped out revolver.
1t is hardly necessary to say that gen
tleman Smith doigad. Hedisappeared
behind convenient fence with an
alacrity that was surprising. The si..
uation was extremely awkward for Mr..
Smith Everytme he would put his
head out to take a peep the belligerent
African would sight him, The verte-
bre in Mr.. Smiths neck began to get
tired and Mr. Smith stopped, comfort
ing himself with the assurance that he
could stand it as long as the man at
the wrong end of the revolver could. AZ
ter a while he looked out and seeing
tina: the man had disappeared he came
from bis cover. Walker WAS snbse.
quently arrested and at a hearing on
Monday was heavily fined and held in
bonds to keep the peace.

Mother ana child Burned 10 Death

On Wednesday evening while its
mother was absent little child of Will
liam Minich, at rreiuhler's station, Lee
high county. set itself on fire from the
stove and ran ont Of the house towards
its mother, enveloprd in hames, and
piteously screaming for help. The
mother rushed toward the child, and in
attempting to extlnguish the flames and
save it, her clothing was ignited and
her life iinperiled. No person was pre-
sent to render assistance and the moth
er endeavored to run to neigh boris
house for help, but ere she had pro-
ceeded far she was so badly injured
that she tell by the roadside, and when
assistance came she vas nearly burned
TO a "risp. Her clothing was entirely
consumed. The child was naturally
left to its fate the mother was in flames
and being utterly helpless, soon fell t"

occurred. The mother fingered in great

Monday evening last was an occasion
Of considerable interest, ut the parson-
age Of Madeley Chapel, in South vii.

and friends # the church, made a
friendly visit to Rev. b. Doid, their
pastcr. As a token of their resp ct they
presented him with an overcoat and
other articles of wearing apparel. They
also furnished the cooking depar artment
with barrel Of flour, the necessary
christmas turkey, large quantity OF
groceries. provisions. vegetable fruits
and cakes; and last though not least
the coal bin was replenished. his

The Cause Of Sfckn ess.

There is at present among rs a great
amount of sickness; and one undertak.
er within the stsfew days has recriv-
ed orders for no less than eleven fu-
nerals. This mortality is caused it is
thought by the overflow of the marshes
on the outskirts of the city. About one
hundred years ago the same mortality
was experienced and as polite meas
ure the borough council passed a law
compelling the property holders to dam
up the embankments upon their low
lands and prevent this tidal inunda-
ton. The action proved effective and
the health of the borough improv-
ed. Can it be that the existing bad
state of health in our city arises from
the same malignant causeY

Among the pleasant calls | made
yesterday was one on Joel Spencer and
wife at 1905 Market street. NV hear,
was rejoiced to find that their kind
n"ighb bors had hot forgotten them and
they were we'll supplied with Christmas
gifts. Mr.. Spencer was able to sit up
until about four weeks ago, but now he
has taken to his bed and as he says
himself III, journey is almost at an end;
he is 80 years old and his wife 81; his
mind Is clear yet. great many old
friends called on him yesterday, among
the others were Mr.. Xii Crozier; it was
pleasant and sad to see those old
trie ads meet and part perhaps for the
last tim. on earth, for Mr. Spencer is
very weak and cannot be here much
longer. He was lamenting about his
b ing trouble to his friends when one;
a kind lady said TO him; joel YOU shall
never want while have one cent, re-
member that. God bless you he said,
and II seemed to set his mind at rest,
and | say God bless her that there is
some one to take charge of the old and
infrm and make their hearts glad on
This good Christmas time. He says he
has been blessed above many, all his
neigh bors being so kind to him; he
hopes his prayers to the throne of God
for them will b. heard. asked what
they needed most and it was coal as
they have to keep fire all night and
some one to see to Mr.. Spencer as he
may die at any moment. Will some
kind friends send them some coal that
they may be kept warm in this bitter
weather and gain blessing for therns
selves by helping this old couple.

General Charles p. Stone writes from

General Charles ?. Stone writes from
Cairo, Egypt, to the Commissioner of Ag-
.iculture, that " English and Scottish
horse rasers who have been furnishing
carriage horses of high quality" to that
ancient land, confess that thy cannot
compete at home with the "horse rails
ers of Kentucky and Ohio, who send
fine carriage horses to England, and
far undersell the native English rails
ers." This being the case, General
Stone thinks that a good grade of carri-
age horses might be exported from Bal
timore to Egypt, by the Mediterranean
steamships, the shipments to be always
made in the latter part of summer to a.
void the hot season.

Chrtslmas and Prisoners.

No prisoner in his cell to-day, no
matter how wicked and bad he has
been, if he sheds one single penitent
tear, God will hold out His good hand
Of love to receive that tear. No there
never was and never will be peniten-
tial tear drop from the eye of any hu-
man being that will not be acceptable
to God care not how thick the stone
and strong the iron the prisoners cell
is constructed Of, Gods love cannot be
shut out.

They hold me all the day,
But those who thus have i'Ound me,
Cannot keep God away
My very dungeon walls are dear,
Because the God love is here"

HOW MUCH TOBACCO?

The entire mass of tobacco which is an
nually consumed in smoking, snufing, and
in chewing on the earth, is 1000, ,000 900
pounds-manifestly too high an estimate
for from 1,2OO, 900, 900 to /, 500, 900, 900 of
inhabitants, Let us take the half as the
more probable, and let us suppose the to-
bacco leaves transformed into roll tobacco,
tobacco serpent is created which, with a
diameter of two inches, and following the
direction of the equator, could wind itself
around the earth thirty times. Let us sup
pose that the tobacco is formed into tablets
similar to the chocolate tablets, and which,
indeed, is the shape which the chewing
tobacco of sailors and Yankees take, and
we have colossal pile worthy of being
placed beside the third largest of the pyra-
mids of Gizeh, that of the Mykerinos, and
as massive and high as that old regal edi-
fee. Let us grind all the tobacco into
