AsTeP TOWARDS FORTUNE.

About forty years ago a poor woman,
living in Philadelphia, managed to eke
out a miserable exitence by selling mo-
lasses candy. One day her candy was
scorched, the loss was a serious one in
trade whose profits were counted by
the beauties. She was quick-witted,
however, and ready with expedients.
She cracked some walnuts mixed the
kernels with the candy and wrote
a playcard. ''The new. nut candy,

THE MAN WHO KNOCKED WASH.
4'', INGTON DOWN.

The grandfather of Mrs. Langhorse,
who died recently in Kentucky, was
William Payne of Fairfax county,
Va, Of whom Collins history OF Ken
lucky preserves the following Incl
dent: ,e. 1ta
At the time Gen. Washington was
stationed at Alexandria, Va, as a
colonel of British regiment, before
the war of the revolution, an alterca-
ton took place in the courthouse
ward between him and William Payne,
in which Payne knocked Washington
down. Great excitement prevailed,
as Payne was known to be firm and
Washington was beloved by all. A
nights reflection, however, satisfied
Washington that he was the aggressor
and in the wrong; and in the morn
ing, like a true and magnanimous
hero, he sought an interview with
Payne, which resulted in an apology
from Washington, and a warm and
lasting friendship between the two
founded on mutual esteem. During
the revolutionary war, while Wash
ington was on visit to his family
William Payne, with his son DeVall
went to pay his respects to the grea
American chief. Gen. Washington
met, him some distance from tn
house, took him by the hand and lee
him into the presence OF Mrs. Wash
ington, to whom he introduced MI
Payne, as follows; ~

A STRANGE PEOPLE.

DR.. E. R. Heath, in a paper on Pc
ruvian Antiquities describesa strange
people living in a town called Eten,
in 7 degrees south latitude, and about
two miles from the sea. They number
about four thousand, and they speak,
besides the Spanish, a language which
some of the recently brought over
Chinese understand, but there is no
other similarity between the two peo-
pie. They intermalry, uncles and
nieces, brothers and sisters, nephews
and aunts, that is promiscuously, and
with no apparent curse Of consan-
guinity; but they will not permit any
intermarriage into their number, OF
with the outside world. They have
laws, customs and dress Of their own,
and live by braiding hats and mats
and weaving cloth. They will give
no account Of the place whence they
came or of thu time they settled
at Eten. History does not mention
their existence before the Spaniards
arrived, nor does it record their immi-
grafton since. Among them there are
no sick or deformed persons, their
custom being to send a committee to
each sick or old person, and those
who are reported past recovery Or
past usefulness are promptly stran-
gled by the public executioner. Eten
orders it, they say, and with Etens
orders there is no interference.

CONCEALED WEAPONS.
TAtlanta Constitution.

III inc IccllnS VI UlIAo OOAAnA"OJ
yesterday, when it realized the des-
perate and bloody scene Of the days
tragedy, could have been photograph
ed and printed upon this page this
morning, this people would rise in
their indignation and ornament the
lamp posts Of the city with the bodies
of men found wearing concealed dead
ly weapons. To this fateful practice
is chargeable the awful result of this
latest case Of deadly combat. 1t is
high time that the utmost rigors OF
the law should be enforced against
those who violate its provisions.
Yesterday noon two citizens Of
character, usefulness and influence,
differed upon matter Of trade. They
understood each other,.and a purpose
to do harm had found expression.
They concealed upon their persons
instruments Of death, and three hours
after one of them was lying in death
throes, the other five feet away bleed
ing from serious wounds. In a few
hours, the former, whose soul had
gone so suddenly to meet its God,
will be consigned to the tomb, the
latter to the gloom and shame Of a
prison cell. These are the horrors
which are thrust upon the community.
The naked recital of the details is a
sermon, eloquent with warnings and
suggestions. The consequences make
up the companion picture. A wife
has been widowed and a family OF
children plunged into orphanage. An
other wife has been widowed by sep
aration-the grim bars ola Jail door,
:, hardly less relentless than the chains
of death, standing between her and
her children and their husband and
father. The lesson of all
this is plain. The people must call a
halt to those who make up the actors
in such scenes. This city, this State
the country at large, has suffered
, enough from the lethargy which per
mits, and the license which invites
these horrors. There are laws which
forbid, by adequate penalties, the car
rying of concealed weapons, the in
! struments always resorted to in thes'
tragedies.
If these wise and protective law
are to be dead letter acts upon tn
statute book, they should be repealed
and barbarism canonized, and it
u practices commended to the people
It should be understood that ma
carries his life as a forfeit for trifles
: and that a luckless word or action
an invitation to fate. Either this an
= daily record of tragedy and blood
u corpses, or a strong, united, unflincf
ing and unresisting enforcement {
. the law. The citizen must have
IL guarantee that his life is safe. Tn
Il officers and magistrates Of the La
o are sworn by their solemn oaths

e guarantee it's value and effect. Will
