The chronological Journal and
Science of Health.-The number
for June of this excellent family
magazine closes it's sixty-eighth
volume. It's reading consists chief
ly of fine sketch of Gov. Prescott
of New Hampshire; a mastery re
ply to an attack on Phrenology,
which recently appeared in an En-.
glish magazine and was copied by a
well-known New York monthly; an
entertaining description of two Gu
rious Orchids; a very instructive
paper on the worlds work for wo-
men; fine portrait and sketch of
the late Lydia Folger Fowler; the
continuation of the excellent juve.
nile story, Uncle Jimmie, the Grip
Pile; some suggestive remarks on
house alteration, which are illustra-
ted; highly esthetic bit of writing
entitled the search after the ideal,
by an English contributor; a valua-
BILE contribution to therapeutics in
Tramatic Tetanus; A lively lit
tie sketch, piety as. health, and
other good things. AS the July
number begins fresh volume, it is
a convenient time for subscribing,
and it seems to us that $500 is
mere trifle for so valuable n publ
cation as the chronological Journal,
but at this price we will furnish it
to Won.

We happened in at the st. Giles
too late last Thursday afternoon to
correctly report transaction of
the pool room. Maj. Stacy invited
the ladies who were preparing the
ice cream supper at the court house
to- take dinner with him at the St.
Giles, and after they had nearly run
the cook crazy and the walters to
death, the party repaired to the
pool room, where they punched
ivory and screamed for a half-hour.
One sedate old gent, whose affidavit
face is the mirror OF gravity, put a
ball in the pocket by clever shot,
when his better half looked at him
astounded, and in tone that
showed lacerated feelings, ex
claimed:

you been launching these things be-

Mrs. Jno. d. Flautt and Miss Bet
tie Burgess were very severely hurt
last Saturday afternoon by the
overturning of a buggy near Chill
ders lanyard. Mrs. Flautt was
driving and they were going to-
wards East Hill, when a little negro
came tearing by them at full speed
upon 4 horse. This frightened
their horse and made him leave the
pike and run the buggy against the
rock fence, and then suddenly turn
ing, the buggy was clpsized and
the occupants thrown out and
against the fence. Mrs. Flautt was
very badly cut and bruised about
the head and face. Miss Burgess
injuries were not so severe and she
was rendered insensible and in that
condition was carried back to the
College, where medical attention
was given her. Capt. Flautt's little
daughter Marcella was also in the
buggy but escaped unhurt. Mrs.
f. and Miss B. are both nearly re
stored.
Messrs. G. A. Hopkins and E. L.
Davidson were near and came to
their assistance. Mr.. Davidson
mounted Mr.. Hopkins horse and
started for physician and
while he was running across the
square the horse reared and threw
him a terrible fall upon his back
He held to the reins and strange to
say was entirely unhurt.

Mr.. EDIroR:-A communication
in your paper of last week signed
Jessamine contained matters which
not only reflect upon our worthy
pastor, Rev. w. A. Turner, but does
the community injustice. No doubt
it was done inadvertently and with
out malice, but the effect IS the
same. / allude TO what was said
about the Sunday Schools under
Mr.. Turner's charge being upon
the wane and the people needing
stirring up. The facts as regards
Mt. Olivet are that Mr.. Turner has
increased the regular attendance at
Sunday School some twenty five or
thirty. In addition, he is helping
to build up fourishing school a.
Buford's school house which al
ready numbers about forty. Our
pastor is much loved and is a God
fearing, Jealous, Woodworking Chris
tian. The Olivet teachers met and
decided that their school needed no
further stirring up. We make these
statements because justice demands
it, and not as any reflection upon

There was a terrible hubbub
upon the square last Wednesday
night about IL o'clock. A party of
unknown men caught and severely
castigated two or three of the negro
women who infest the streets every
night for indecent purposes. They
uttered fearful screams but did not
escape q whipping. One OF them
fell into a pile of tin scraps ana cut
her face severely. The women say
that it was colOred men who at
tackled them. "Street-walking" is
getting to be an insufferable nui-
sance in Pulaski and no doubt it is
the intention of these parties to put
down the abominatlOn. Ladies and
gentlemen are often crowded off the
sidewalk and are frequently com
PEELED to hear shockingly vulgar
language from them as they hang
around the streets at unseemly
hours, and decent people cannot
stir without seeing these monstrous
beldams of perdition as they prac
tice their graceless wiles to draw
some miserable wretch into their
slatternly tolls. This shocking
conduct stinks In the nostrils of
decency and cries to heaven to be
abated. If the law cannot stop
them, they now at least know that
the people will crush it out. We
do not wish to hear of the scenes of
Wednesday night repeated, but
from what we know of the evil and
from what we heard of that night
we believe that these slovens will be
mercilessly beaten as often as they
appear upon the streets in evident
prosecution of their monstrous
aims

A crowd OF gents upon the street
the other day had nothing else to
talk about and got into an angry
dispute as to what is the definition
of Nothing. Webster don't salts
~. A deputation waited upon us
and requested that we search the
authors and report its meaning.
Nothing is the unsubstantial shad-
ow cast upon the vacuous walls OF
chaos by the inesssentlal phantom
that stands watch over our dreams,
filling supposititious solitude with
the vanished essence of melted ami
hilation, browning the dissolving
towers of fading nonentity with an
uncreated halo of nihility shed by
the luminous vapor exhaled by
the phantasmagoric Pigment of a
myth. Its SYNONYM in ma
ture is found only when a lot of
hair Drained lunatics discuss it's
on the streets.
