Wonderful Shooting.

DIR. w. F. Carver, of California, is said
to be the most wonderful riAe-shot in the
world. He is coming east with his rife
and reputation. The other day he gave
an exhibition at Denver. His perform
ance is to break glass balls thrown in the
air twenty or thirty feet distant and
twenty or thirty fest high. He engages
to break eighty out of one hundred glass
balls thus thrown in the air. At the
Denver exhibition he broke ninety out OF
one hundred. Besides this he made very
difficult fancy Substituting from his hip
and over his head. and with the rifle up.
side down, etc His most difficult shot
was this: A ball is thrown into the air
about twenty feet high. He fires aud
misses it with the first shot He then
reloads the rifle. and breaks the ball
before it reaches the ground. This he
did st the second trial He loads with
cartridge, OF course, but this feat requires
amazing dcSterity.

A Bit of Married Experience.

| married my wife about thirty-five
years ago. The ceremony was performed
about seven O'Clock in the morning. Be-
fsre retiring that evening we had a good
talk with each other, and the result has
sweetened our entire lives We agreed
that each should always be watchful
and careful, never, by word or act, to
hurt the feelings OF the other. We were
both young, hot tempered, both positive
in our likes and dislikes, and both some.
what exacting and inhexible-iust the
material for life of coDjugsl warfare.
Well. foi few years we found it hard
wsrx to always live by our agreement
Occasionally (not often) a word or lock
would slip of the tongue or face before
it could bs caught or suppressed but we
never allowed the sun to 20 down upon
our wrath. Before retiring At night on
such occasions there was always con-
iession and forgiveness, and the culprit
would become more careful in future.
Oar tempers and dispositions became
gradually more congenial, 30 that after
q few years We came 10 be one In reality,
as the martial ceremony had prons unced
US nominally. In thinking back we find
that for more than twenty years our
little agreement has been unbroken, and
there has been no occasion for confession
and forgiveness. In business we have
had adversely and prosperity, failure AID
success. We raised a family of children
about US. and we are simple enough to
believe that we have better children, and
better grandchildren because Of our little
agreement. Under such a contract reli-
giously kept, no ill-natured children will
be reared, and no boys will find the
streets and barrooms more pleasant than
home. To make good wife or good
husband requires the co operation OF
both.

WHETHER merely foolish, or cunning
and avaricious, the men who are urging
the negroes to leave this country and
cast themselves upon the savage coast of
Africa, are doing a cruel thing. There
is no good reason for any class of men
emigrating from this country, and none
have ever yet gone away in body who
did not heartily wish themselves back.
The Joppa colony, the settlers of Liberia
and the mechanics who went to England
last year are familiar illustrations in
point. Every negro who is entrapped
by this colonization scheme will make
grievous mistake. This country is wide.

CHARLESTON, s. c., has been experi-
menting with an artesian well lately, in
the hope of ultimately obtaining an in.
exhsustible supply of pure water for the
city from that novel source, and the
results, though not quite up to the anti.
cipations, are 80 far encouraging. A
well has been sunk one thousand eight
hundred add forty-seven feet, which dis
charges one hundred and fifty gallons a
minute, with an sscertained head of
sixty-five feet, and a probable real head
OF over one hundred feet.

SO FAR as can be ascertained from the
illustrated pspers, Mr.. Stanley generally
fought naval battle before breakfast,
ran thirty rapids, and cut three paths
through the forest before noon, and then
fought land battle during the heat of
the day in order to give his men a rest.
1t could be wished that Re had mentioned
how many Central Africans he killed in
his various battles. Probably the number
was beyond the capacity of the largest
slate, and so could not be calculated.
We msy feel sure, however, that he
tbinned out the population, and that not
more than two native kings and half to
the square yard will be found by the
next Central African explorer New

AN enterprising American firm lately
shipped large consignment of elegant
coffins to Bio Janeiro, but found, to their
disappointment and chagrin, that the
undertaker's business there was a govern.
ment monopoly, SO that they could
neither sell nor give away single coffin.
Hence it will be seen that the under.
takers, in undertaking the venture, made
a great mistake. Lord Timothy Dex-
ter's singular consignment of warming
pans to Cuba turned out we'll, they
being proftably utilized for molasses

traneous use to which cof1ins could be

CONGRESS is asked to remit the duty
on the bells of st. Mchael's church, Of
Charleston, S. C. These chimes possess
. real historical interest, having been
placed in the belly one hundred and
twenty-five years ago. In 1770 they
were seized and carried to England, but
at the end OF the revolutionary war were
returned. In 1868, when the federals
besieged Charleston, the bells were
removed to Columbia, but were after
wards injured during the conHagratisn
of that city. They were recently sent to
England to be recast, and now are again
sending forth their familiar notes to the
people of Charleston.
