PEOPLE who can be depended upon are
pretty sure to get along in the world, while
those who cannot, generally make a failure
Of life. To a young mechanic, starting in
life, the habit of punctuality is worth more
than n thousand dollars cash capital.-al-
though a thousand dollars is not to be de-
spiscd. The trust worthiness of the faith
full workman produces money, but the UNI
trustworthiness of the unfaithful one causes
him to lose money. This is an everlasting
principle. He who would be permanently
prosperous must keep his engagements
"or die in the attempt"

to allow a clergyman to ride tor half fare.
Recently a minister received a clergyman's
h~alt-fare travelling card as they are called
and wrote to the Superintendent, asking,
'ff he could not embrace his wife, Also"
The superintendent replied that he thought
likely he could, but did not want to say
positively until he had seen his wife, as he
was a little fastidiOus in his tastes.

Sheridan's solicitor calling one day, found
his wife alone. and walking about in a state
of violent excitement. He asked what was
the matter. Her only reply was 'that her
husband was a villain" After a time she
added with some hesitation: "Why, 1 have
discovered that all the love letters he sent
me were the same he sent to his first wife,"
THERE is nothing lovely in ill-health. pai4
ticularly where woman is concerned. A
sick woman's face may be exquisitely mold
ed she never appeals to Ii imagination.
But even an ugly face all aglow with health
and spirit, and with sparkling eyes, be:
comes beautiful. Such a woman appeals to
the Imagination ; SHE charms and attracts
us by a subtle magnetism. Whether as
maid, wife, or mother, health is woinan's
great good.

There is sudden outbreak OF yellow

Refugees are arriving In Cincinnati.
Colonel Almon D. Hodges, President Of

Ch,nsman fatally stabbed Nh. Harrison
Edrar because he threw an apple core at

cited crowd at last accounts had surrounded

murderer.
The reports from New Orleans indicate a
steady decrease in the number of deaths
from yellow fever, and also OF new cases,
though the disease is still spreading In the
rural districts. The same may be said ss
tn Memphis and the interior of Tennessee
and Mississippi. The sickness and suner-
ing at all points, however, is still intense
and widespread.
The statement of the Paris Pstrie news
paper, cabled here to the effect that our
Government and that of England and France
had arranged existing difficulties relative 70
the Newfoundland fisheries, has no founds-
tion so far as our government Is concerned.
No such question as that is pending Tor an
agreement between our government ana the
government named.
Three yellow fever nurses, sent from NOR
folk, Va, to Memphis, attempted to return

train some miles from Norfolk, by order OF

at night, but were arrested and taken TO tne
pest house. Their clothes have been burned,
and they will be strictly qusrantined Tor ten
days.
The report of the Chief of the Dead Let
| ter Office now being prepared, will show
that there has been no increase in the guam
tity of dead mail matter owing to the de-
crease In correspondence from business
depression and to the efficiency OF the carrier
system. The system is now more In gene
raj use than ever of requiring letter to be

| also decreased the business of the of1ice at

made to the office for 10,737 lost letters, OF
this number 6,997 were found and returned

TELECRAMS.
TRYING TO EAT A SMALL BOY.

a PORTLAND YOUTH BADLY cHAwED UP
BY 4 LUNATIC.
BosroN, Sept. 26.-A singular circum-
stance occurred in Portland few days ago.
which can be accounted for on no other
theory than that the person who committed
the assault was insane. A well-appearing
man passing through Washington street
stopped and entered into conversation with
8 boy about thirteen years old.
Finally, the man told the boy he owned
nice farm Just beyond the Marine Hospital,
and II he wished he would give him q
chance to work on 1t. The boy finally con-
sented, and they started on foot. When
they had reached . spot near the barn where
Williams was murdered, they took to the
aelds, Going short distance the man sud
denly turned upon the boy, and without a
word, struck him severe blow, Knocking
him down.
The little fellow got up and attempted to
run, when he was again knocked down, and
still third time, when the man grabbed
the boy and bit him severely three or four
times on the cheek; bit one ear nearly of,
and set his teeth firmly in the child,s nose
just then two men of the Marine Hospita
saw the proceedings and started for the
man, but he succeeded In making MS es-
cape. The little fellow, besides being badly
bitten, was nearly frightened to death. AL
efforts to discover the inhuman masticator
have 90 far failed.

ROBBERS ON THE PLAINS.

Fort FRTTERMAN, Wy. T., Sept. 26,
1s7s.-The stage coach containing the
Uaited States mail and protected by an
escort of two soldiers was attacked this
afternoon, about twenty-five miles north o.
this place, by twelve masked men. The
robbers succeeded in surprising the escort,
and '.got the drop" on them before the sol,
diers had an opportunity to draw their
weapons. H.
The horses and arms of the cavalrymen
were taken from them and the mail bags
thoroughly raDsacked.
Messrs. Tillotson and Snyder, post traders
doing business at this post and at Mckinney
were passengers on the mail coach, but
having been robbed of $500 few days
before while on their way from old Nc
Kinney to the new post on Clear Fork, the
hiehwaymen secured very little booty from
them. J... ....
This part of Wyoming is now infested
with horse thieves, robbers, and othel

ters of q mile of, considerably mutilated
The verdict of the coroner's jury was that
he was killed with stake from the fence

A CoL0RBD WOMAN LITERALLY CUT IN

A despatch from Springfield, Ohio, Sept,
26, says: Yesterday the quiet and aristo-
cratic little city of Troy was thrown into a
fever of consuming excitement, caused by
the discovery of most foul and brutal
murder. A colored family named Coles
lived sbout mile and half west Of Troy.
One daughter, Anna, married Geo. Mitchell
several years ago, but lived with him only
at times, and then very unhappily. She
was about thirty-fye years of age. 1t was
her habit every week to 60 over to 3 neigh
boris IN do their washing, and esrly yester-
day morning started for that purpose. At
leven O'Clock, midway between her home
and the neighbor's house, she was found
horribly butchered. She was literally
hacked to pieces, evidently by some heavy
keen Instrument, and supposed to have beer
q corn cutter. The vertebra of the neck
was severed the chin was cut of and hung
BY the skin; her back was deeply cut, the
body being almost dissected. The corpse
was drenched with blood, and presented q
sickening spectacle. When found the woman
WAS lying on her face. The theory is that
she was first attacked and faarfully cut, she
then escsped and ran about hundred
yards, was cut in the back while running
and fell forward. She was tracked by hel
steps and, blood all the distance named
above. It is not yet established whether o.
not she was outraged before her murder
Ker Hill, nearly blind negro, who wa:
seen early that morning with corn cutter
and who had threatened Anna Mitchell ant
her husband, was arrested. Public opinion
points to her husband, George Mitchell
with whom she had not lived for some time
and who has made threats against her
Mitchell disappeared on the morning of tn
murder and cannot be found.

boards last week was gratifying success,
and In face of the crowded houses that at
