Many mothers either are compelled to
stay away from church and theatre or
take their babies with them. A poor
woman took her little one in her arms to
hear famous preacher. The loud voice
from the platform awoke the child and
made it cry, and its mother got up and
was leaving the hall, when the minister
stopped her by saying, "My good wo-
man. don't go away. The baby doesn't
disturb me-" "It isn't for that, sir,
leave" she replied with perfect uncon-
seriousness of sarcasm, 'it's you who dis
turb the baby"
An old darkey who was asked if in his
experience prayer was ever answered,
replied: "Well. sab, some pra'ars is an
sud an some isn't-'pends on wat you

A Husbands Vengeance.
A DISCOVERY OF A wIFE's GUILT--sHoo


ING OF TUE PARAMoUR.
Richmond Va, was thrown into in
tense excitement last evening on account
of the shooting of John Frick by A. A.
Reinhardt. The latter is coachmaker,
who is married, and the former is shoe
maker, who boards at Reinhardt's house,
but has room in which he sleeps over
his shoe shop. Reinhardt and his wife
who are well-to-do and thrifty. are peo-
pie of great responsibility. Mrs. Rein
hardt is young, buxom and quite fasci-
mating. The disciple of Crispin is young
wldower, and has been on such terms OF
intimacy with Mrs. Reinhardt that her
husband became jealous and suspicious.
Yesterday morning he announced that
he was going down the river to fish, ana
would be gone all day. In about two
hours he returned, and to his astonish.
ment found his wife absent from home.
He rushed TO the room occupied by
Frick, and peeping through the keyhole
he saw his wife in bed with Frick. Rein
hardt at once battered down the door
and stood in the presence of the guilty
pair. He began to beat his wife un-
merciful,y, snd while thus engaged hel
paramour escaped through the oper
door.
Reinhardt then procured shotgun
and after hunting several hours came in
sight OF Frick. He levelled his gun, but
Frick ran into all alley. Reinhardt pur
sued, and, gaining the entrance of the
alley, blazed away at the flying Frick
the shot taking effect in the back. Hi.
wounds are not regarded as serious. =
Reinhardt has not yet been arrested
though the police are not on the lookou
for him. Mrs. Reinhardt is confined tt
bed by her injuries.

Lighting the Public Buildings

WASHINGTON, April 3.-The House
committee on public buildings andground
have now before them the proposition OF
James Crutchell, who offers to supply
gas at 25 cents per thousand feet for light
and 90 cents per thousand feet for heat
ing purposes by the atomic steam coal
process. The cost Of the gas for lighting
the public buildings and the capitol
grounds last year was nearly 1872, 900 and
the proposition now made would reduce
the expense to $4,000. The cost Of
lighting the Presidents house alone is
$4,000 year.

Interest on Past Due Accounts.

In common with all other mer
chants we occasionally receive re-
quests from customers to allow their
accounts to run past due, with the un.
derstanding that they will pay inter-
est at ten per cent. per annum from
maturity, and we sometimes, in the
case of regular and responsible Gus
toners, exteud such courtesies, and
give the extension closing the account
by note, and adding interest. This is
not and should not be matter of FREE
quent occurrence. The wholesale
merchant should not be called upon
to furnish capital for his own business
and his customers business in addi-
ton. He has right to expect that
the bills due him will be paid prompt
ly at maturity. He buys goods and
contracts debts, relying upon his col
lections to pay them, and believing
that the contracts which his custom.
ers have entered into with HIM that
they will pay him certain sums at
certain dates--will be faithfully car
ried out, and that be will thus be
enabled to meet his own contracts.
Every failure on the part of his GUS
toners to pay bills when due detracts
just that much from his own ability
to meet the engagements he has made.
We sincerely hope that the day is
coming when the country merchant
will feel as keenly the necessity Of
paying his bills promptly on the day
of mturity as the wholesale merchant
in the city now appreciates the neces-
sity of paying mis- note when due. In
the latter case the city wholesaler
knows that to let his note 60 to pro-
test, or even to let a matured open
account remain unpaid, means loss
of credit and financial ruin; and we
believe the day is rapidly approach
ing when the prompt-paying country
merchant who never fails to meet his
bills when due will have such an adj
vantage over his competitor, who
pays "after harvest" or when he
"kills his hogs" that the latter will be
compelled to abandon the mercantile
pursuits and give his undivided atten-
ton to harvesting, hog-killing or 9TH
er avocation for which he is better fit
ted. Their we shall have class OF
merchants who understand and APP
preciate the value of mercantile credit
and promptness, and whose promises
to pay at certain time have some
value and can be relied upon. This
class can always buy goods cheaper
than the old fogy ''pay when conven-
lent" class can, they will do business
on smaller expense, they are more en-
terprising, and the result will finally
be, that they will push the others out
OF business and take their places.

Afraid of The People.

Several influential papers have suggested that at the Congressional election ''the voter shall put on his ticket his choice for Senator. Tc this the Gazette objects, and enters into an elaborate editorial of over 8 column in length, to prove that the government would be in peril to place so much power in the hands of the people. We have been taught that all power, in our form of govern ment, resides with the people, and the candidate for any office who is afraid to trust them is unfit to serve or present them. If it was favor able to Col. Johnsod, the Gazette would zealously favor the plan; but it would be "blue ruin" to Col "Bob," hence the Gazette's opposi tion. Exchange.

AT MARTIN, TENN.
The Para agrapLers.

There has been talk different times of holding national news paper paragraphists' convention in some of the Eastern cities, and it is quite probable that some such meet ing vii! be had next spring or sum mer. While we are not averse to the plan of a coming together of the paragraphists--on the contrary high ly approve the scheme-we have just the strongest suspicion in the world that q formal convention of so-called "funny-meh" of the press would be the most melancholy occasion possi- ble to imagine. Editorial conven- tions in themselves are very stupid affairs. Aside from tho regular pro gramme of prepared orations and essays there is seldom anything in them to commend. Editors are not takers, ane it is talk that makes conventions endurable. And glib talk at that. The paragraphist and average humorist is less of a talker than others in the profession. It IS his business to think and grind slowly, indeed, but so as to give tEe impression at least of having re- markedly quick wit; it is his busi- ness to sit for long, weary hours, proned out in his chair, staring up at the ghastly ceiling ard wrestling out of unfathomable space grim and gaunt puns, awful jokes and metri- calls that defy the rules of rhyme and set at naught the license of poesy. Imagine such a mental ma chine in formal convenuon-he has been used to thinking, but al- ways in lazy, recumbent position, and never on his feet or out aloud. It is one thing to think and write, and another to think and talk. There are few men who can do both successfully. That's why we say q convention of newspaper humorists would be melancholy and sad and gloomy and funereaL.-St Louis Times.

LITTLE ROCK, October II, 1878. To Hon. John G. Price, Deputy Col lector Internal Revenue;
 Sir: As there seems to be great diversity of opinion in regard to the manufacture and sale of "Bitters, '" "Medcated Liquors" and "Tonics, ? l wish to notify you, as well as all other deputies within this District, comprising the whole State, that have decided to hold that parties manufacturing "Bitters," "Medicat- ed Liqours" and ,,Tonics,, are liable to special tax as rectitiers, and those selling the same to special tax as 'liquor dealers" This applies to all kinds now in the market, with no exception, and persons feeling az grieved at this ruling, are advised that they can appeal to the Commis- sioner of Internal Revenue. would suggest that those desireing to appeal send at the same time a formula of their "Bitters," "Tonics, , etc, properly sworn to before an of ticer authorized to administer oaths and who has an official seal, for the quidance of the commissioner. Yours truly,

Extra Liability to Maiarial En-
 lection.

Persons whose blood is thin, diges- ton weak and liver sluggish, are extra liable to the attacks ol malarial disease. The most trifling exposure may, under such conditions, infect system which, if healthy, would resist miasmatic taint. The only way to secure imlnu- nity from malaria i'll localities where it is prevalent, is to tone and regulate the system by improving weakened diges- tion, enrieling the blood, and giving q wholesome impetus to biliary secretion. These results are aceomolished by noth- ing so effectively as Hostetter's Ston- ach Bitters, which long experience has proved to be the most reliable safe- guard against fever and ague and kin dred disorders, as well as the best rem edy for them. The Bitters are, more over, an excellent invigorant of the organs of urination, and an active dep- urent, eliminating from tine blood those aerid impurities which originate rheumatic ailments.
