TATTLERs.-Evcry community is cursed
by the presence of a class of people who
make it their business to attend to every
body's business but their own. Such peo-
pie are the mcanest specimens of depravcd
humanity which an All-wisc Providence
permits to exist on this earth. 1t is we'll
known that almost every person is some
times disposed to speak evil of others, and
tattling is sin from which very few can
claim to be entirely exempt.
But the subject of our present article is
to speak of that distinct class of tattlers
who make tale bearing the constant business
Of their lives. They pry into the private
affairs of overy family in the neighborhood;
they know the exact state of ono neighbors
feelings toward another; they understand
everybody's faults, and no little blunder or.
misdemeanor ever escapes their vigiant
watchfulness. They are particularly we'll
posted upon everything connected with
courtship and matrimony, know who are
going to marry whom, and can guess the exact
time when it will take place. They watch
every movement of parties suspected Of ma
trmonial intentions, and if there is the
slightest chance to create disturbance, eX-
cite Jealousy or break up match, they take
immediate advantage Of it and do all in their
power TO keep people in constant state Of
vcxation. They glide quietly from gentle
man to lady, from mother to daughter, from
father to son; and in the ears of all they
pour their dark, bitter whispers of SANDER
and abuse, and at the same time pretend to
be the most sincere friend Of those they
talk to. Their black and nauseous pills Of
malicious slander are sugar. coafed With
smiles and honcycd words of friendship.
EVERY DAY.--Evcry day should be COM
mcnccd with God. Tho busiest and best
man in Jerusalem was wont to say "In the
morning will direct my prayer to Thee
and will look up. / will sing aloud OF
Thy mercy in the morning." Daniel, too,
salutcd his God with prayer and praise at
carly dawn. We begin the day unwisely.
and at great risk to ourselves, if we leave
our chamber without u secret conference
with our Almighty Friend. Every Christ.
ian, when he puts on his clothes, should
also put on his spiritual armor. Before the
days march begins, he should gather up
Poi''oh vi he"Nc"iJ 'h"uha W iecu the III
ncr man. As the oriental traveller sets out
for the sultry journey over the burning
sands, by leading up his camel under the
palm trees shade, and fills his water .fagons
from the crystal fountain which sparkles at
its roots, SO doth Christ's pilgrim draw his
morning supplies from the cxhaustlcss
spring.
Somebody estimated that every man who
lives to be sixty years old has spent seven
months buttoning his shirt collar Thirty
years more ought to be added for hunting
| up the collar button.

Glover is regarded as among the very
best of fertilizers, especially for exhausted
soils, by several correspondents of the
World, as shown from their recent coDtri-
buttons, and here is strong corroborativc-
sentenee by writer in the Vermont Free
man: 81 claim that can take field that
has become so exhausted in fertility that it
will not produce profitable crop of any
thing without heavy dressing Of manure,
and in two years time will make it fertile,
with clover alone and without any manure
: whatever, except what the roots of the clo-
yer and clover green crop turned under
may supply"

There is one perception that a horse pos
sessos ito which little attention has been
paid, and that is the power Of scent. With
some horses it is acute, as with a dog and
foptle beuefit Of those who have to drive
athifht, such as physicians and others, this
hpNedge ia invaluable. Never check
youj horse at night, but give him free
heAb and you may rest assured that he will
nkk get off the road, aud will carry you
%pclitiously and safe.

Our obscrvant says that one of the most
notable points of difference between the two
armies was the manner in which the federals
"bummcd" and played tho vandal, while
theEsoutherners didu't bum and played tho
gentleman. "-- - =
He says the southerncrs did no steal
ing. The rights of property in the country
through which they marched were sacred.
They did not steal except in unusual cases,
and even chickens might roost in safety on
the edge of their camps. Mr. Rcdfeld
says that "hc i, constrained to confess,
(though why he does it under constraint
we can't imagine) that at the opening of
the war the mass of the southern army
were gentlemen" As the struggle deepcncd
and the soldiers we're starving, of course
this was changed to degree, but even then

1t was totally different with the federals.
They foraged shamcfully. They stole every
thing from chickens on the roost up, or
down. They respected no sentimento or help
lcssness. They were vandals in tho worst
sense. Mr. Redfcld mentions, among other
things, they entered his store the temple
of peace, by the way,) aud built fires with
hamcs worth $3.50 pair. A hundred or
so Bibles they tore up and scattered on the
floor, or made bonfrcs of. What they could
not use they destroyed. The author says
"Such utter and wicked waste had not
thought human beings capable Of" He
says further, "No amount of fastenings
could keep out the pillagcrs. Nothing was
too sacred to be stolen or destroyed" E.

the primary election system and the Club

For example, VIC will illustrate the mode,
for conducting tho primary elections in this
county, and which has given more general
satisfaction than any other. On a given'
day (appointcd by the County Executive
Committee and who also appoint the man

who have been registered or known to be

the following day take their statement, to-
gether with the poll list, to tho Executive
Committee, whose duty it is to: aggregate
the votes and declare tho pcrsens havi5g

only way primary election can be hold'in

Excellent Church Music,

With yesterday, the term Of service Of
Of Mrs. L. 5. Sullivan as orgsnis. Of tie
Church Of the immaculate Conception,
terminated. The desire to hear her sing
ing and playing, unfortunately for the last
time, helped to increase the size OF tue
always large congregation, and those who
expected TO hear something particularly
good in the musical portions Of the ser
vice were not disappointed. While not
wishing to reflect IN the slightest upon
snv Of the choir it is not out OF place to
say that Mrs. Sullivan surpassed herself,
and altogether the occasion was one long
to be remem bered b. all present Mrs.
Sullivan removes during the present
week to Mansfield, o, where she will in
the future reside.

DisOrIiCrIY men.

About two o'clock yesterday morning,
five or six young roughs, who frequent
some OF the Saturday night dances, par
took too freely cf crrnk, and in wander
ing around tho city became very bolster
Gus in the vicinity Of the SecoLd Ward
Market House. Capt Ripley, who was
on duty at the City Bul1Ing, heard
the nose and thinking there
was row up street, ran
in the direction Of the Market house, and
there learned that the disturb OF tho
peace were at the corner Of Market and
Tenth streets. The Captain grabbed
three of the men and the others escaped.
In taking those arrested to the lookup,
one struck the Captain over the left eye,
which peeled the skin cfi AS the Cap
tain let go the other two, IN or
der TO save the one who struck
him, they escaped. The one who
assaulted the officer was locked up. The
others then came down Market street
and went into the cellar of Blumen berg 5
saloon, and in attempting TO steal some
whisky ftom barrel were frightened
away and left the whisky running, which
caused about halt of It to run out before
discovered. The same lot of fellows
went down to Siebke's saloon
where parties were cleaning out
and there begun disturbance, when
nigh. Waterman PERIL put in an sp-
pesranCe and commanded peace. This
seemed to make the men worse and one
of them struck the night Waterman, after
which he was "cutfed' around by each OF
the party. Capt. Ripley soon appeared
on the scene with Officers Henry, Thomp-
son and Listen, but the birds had flown
without any arrest having been made.
