CINCINNATI. July le-Duripga heavy
thunder storm this afternoon two coun-
trymep. on their way to this city with
. wagon loaded with green corn for the
market. took refuge under q bridge
near California, Ohio. The lightning
struck the bridge and killed both men
and their four horses
NEW YORK. July l0-The Pubiic to-
day thinks it about time to consider
what is to be done with the silver in
the Treasury. No change in legislation
can now be expected before February
LIST, when the useless hoard will amount
to about $42. 600. 600 It is probable
that no sensible change ia legislation
will be made until after another Con-
gress has been chosen. perhaps in Feb
Tuary, 1881, when the store will be
about s66. 100000.
PARIS, July l0-Prince Jerome Bo.
napsrte has already virtually assumed
the attitude of chief of the Imperialists.
1t Was represented to him that commit.
tees were working in every department.
and subsidized newspapers were advo-
eating the cause Of the Bonapartists.
and that the faults of the present Gov
eminent were being skilfully and Wig
orously turned to account. when the
death of the Prince Imperial came to
check great and weli-mansged organ
ization on the point Of bearing fruit.
Prince jerome, who was only anxious
at first To avoid being exiled, has be-
come 90 strongly assured that bis hour
will soon come, that he is prepared
even to go into exile.
New YORK. July 10--The Times says:
The estimates Of the Secretary Of the
Treasury. prepared with the results Of
the four months of the fiscal year sl.
ready before him, fall SIC, 600. 900 short
of the actual revenue and 81, 900. 900
short Of the actual expenditures. It is
gratifying to find that the elasticity of
revenues has been so much greater
than was expected. even though under
the head Of "profits on coinage there
may DO Q million or two of purely fcti-
tious gain to the Government. but it is
monstrous that the reckless meddling
Of an irresponsible majority in Con.
grsss should have added at least $780,
0OO. 900 OF unforeseen liabilities to the
balance sheet Of the year. The fritter-
ing away Of the responsibility for de.
tails Of national expenditures among o
multitude OF committees, and general
disregard alike for the recommends.
tions and warnings of the Treasury ex-
hibited by the committees and the main
body OF both Houses, are among the
most serious defects of our system Of
conducting public business.

BOLD ATTEMPT AT OUTRAGE.-MIDDLE-
WAY, JEFFERSON COUNTY, WEST VA, July
ga bold attempt was made to outrage
Miss Taylor, of Baltimore, who is visiting
Mr.. John Mcclure, living near this place, by
a tramp last Monday night, who was only
prevented from accomplishing his fiendish
crime by the determined resistance OF the
young lady. The tramp, who gave the name
of John Lefins. went to MIR. McClure's
house, two and a half miles from this place,
last Sunday, and applied for work, which was
refused him. Mr.. Mcclure accorded him
the privilege Of remaining on the farm for a
day or two, and the man loitered around all
day Monday, performing light tasks about
the place. Monday night the family had all
retired to bed when they were awakened by
a series of piercing screams from Miss lay
Tor. who occupied the room overhead. Mr..
Mcclure ran up stairs and hearing a scuffie
inside the room was on the point OF break
ing open the door when the young lady, who
had been in the clutches of the william, sue
ceeded in getting away and unlocking the
door. Mr.. Mcclure entered the room and
found the tramp in the act of making his es-
cape, and after a sharp struggle succeeded in
arresting his flight. Miss Taylor, who occu-
pied the room with a ten-year old daughter
of Mr.. McClure's, stated that she was
awakened by finding Lefiins standing over
her. She started up in alarm when he made
struggle ensued, during which she was
thrown on the floor by the scoundrel. The
timely arrival Of Mr.. Mcclure, as stated,
alarmed the william, who failed to accom-
plish his purpose. Leffins was taken before
Justice Roberts, who committed him to jail
for a hearing. The greatest excitement pre-
walls in the locality, and the feeling against
Miss Taylor's a~ssailant is very strong.-Cor.
Bait. Gaz.

Mrs. Elizabeth Oaks Smith. a well known
author OF reputation, is now visiting her
son, Captain Appleton Oaksmith. in Carte
ret county. We learn from the Ner5e5nirn
that she reached Hollywood on Friday of
last week on a visit of sympathy and condo
lence to her afflicted son, who. we under
stand has been confined to his bed with a
threatened attack of brain fever, resulting
from severe mental pressure and grief. His
griefstricken wife, who has been dangerously
i'll, IS thought to be out Of immediate dan
GER
However much newspapers may twit wo-
man upon her propensity for talking and
telling secrets, We take up the cudgel in her
behalf and say 1t Is a most e~gregious fallacy
that she cannot keep a secret. On TRIES
she may be a trlfie communicative, but on a
real important secret she is fm more TO be
trusted than a man, for her grasp thereon is
stronger than death and fire nor food nor
torture cannot wiring from her thoughts
which duty bids her conceal.-Leaolcr.
Earthly happiness can only be found in
being very good or very bad. The exem-
plary Christian and the perfect rascal alike
live long and sleep sweetly o nights, the
one because his conscience is at rest. the
other because it is dead. 1t is only the be-
tweens that are miserable.

POISONED FooD.-The recent sad result
following from eating ice cream in which a
brass vessel was used in a part of the process
of making, and which had been poisoned by
that metal, reminds US to say that, no doubt,
many of us are daily partaking of something
hat has more or less poison in it resulting
from the corosion of the metal in which it
has been made or kept. We notice in the
papers recent cases of poisoning from eating
pickles colored by some poisonous chemical;
and vinegar, the cheap sugars, soda, baking
powders, essence of coffee, fruits put up in
tin cans, and many such things that remain
long in metal vessels, are to a degree poison
Gus. The safe rule is, avoid such things,
make your goodies, &C., at home, and keep
them in glass or earthen vessels. 1t is said
if a small needle is allowed to remain stuck
in a pickle a short time, a coat of corroded
copper will form uponit if too much of that
metal has been used about them and the
pickles are poisonous. The loss of many a
tooth is to be traced to these poisons. Pc

AREMARKABLE CURE.-Miss Sallie Scarf,
daughter of DR.. f. Scarr, of this city has
returned from the North, having almost full
ly recovered her voice. She had not been
able to speak above a whisper since child
hood, and had been recently In momentary
danger of death from sutfocation. The Sc
cret of her affection was discovered by an
eminent physician of New York, and by a
skillful operation he has relieved her OF all
trouble and danger. She is now able to
speak without difficulty, and it is believed by
her physician that in the course ola few
weeks she will have recovered the full
strength of her voice. This intelligence will
be received with genuine pleasure by man..
friends of the young lady in this city, and OF
her fathers family, especially when it is re-
membered that a short time before leaving
home her life was saved by the insertion ofa
tube into the wind pipe through which she
breathed for days. Her cure is another trl-
umph for medical science.
