HENRY JAMES, Jr., seems to be gain
ing great attention in English literary
circles just now. Yet because he man
ages to show in his stories that rather
blunt and somewhat vulgar Americans
are hearty and not without honest and
CHEEKY traits Of character it is said by
some English critics that his books are
intended as Qualifications Of America
and Americans

An exciting scene occurred near
Liverpool, the other day, on board a
pleasure-steame with some 100 passen-
gers. While passing the battery of an
encampment of body Of artillery
volunteers, II cannon ball came crash
ing through the bulwarks in the for
ward part of the vessel, smashing the
cable chain in two places and doing
other damage. Fortunately nearly NIL
of the passengers were sailing att,
owing to the roughness Of tine sea, 50
that the fore part was comparatively
clear The greatest confusion and
alarm prevailed on board, and several
of che passengers were injured by the
pieces of chain and iron and the
splnters Of wood which were sent fly,
ing III every direction.

THE philanthrapists Of Boston will
give eight free excursions this season,
for the benefit of poor children. Eight
years ago the cost for each child was
S1.25, but experience has enabled the
managers to cut this amount down to
33 cents, without abridging the pleasure
of the children.

THE old rsprobate Randall is very
much incensed at the remarks we
made about him q short time ago.
We accused him Of jumping his
board bill and being guilty Of other
crookedness. He denounced us az a
liar for accusing him Of such thing.
Mr.. +. NJ. Arnett, the gentleman who
boarded him while here, informs us
that he did not pay his board bill.
Further, he left without indicating
his intention to do so. In other
words, he sneaked Off leaving his bill
unpaid. We do not suppose the old
parasite had anything with which to
pay, but he need not have run away
in that style. The truth is, he is the
worst kind Of q scalawag and ought
to be made earn an honest living
some way. People do wrong to show
him any countenance at all. He new
err did earn his living except while in
the penitentiary.

The editor of the Waynesburg

THE editor of the Waynesburg Re-
publican has made vain efforts to be
sarcastic over the arrest of Cheek, the
Bethany College fire-bug. Greene
county is gaining a very unenvia-
BILE reputation, in some respects, nota-
bly,, the Kingwood and the Bethany
fire-bugs. Pennsylvania jay -hawkers
cannot come on this side Of the line
and carry on their depredations,
with impunity, although shielded by
the strong (?) arm ofthe Republican.
Keep such cattle at home where their
efforts will be appreciated, or else
when they are overtaken by the law, do
not attempt to thwart the ends of
justice in the manner you do.

ACCORDING to Mormon prophet we
are now in the midst Of the Milleni-
um. We have enjoyed it so far very
much. There has been nothing to
indicate that the prophet is mistaken.
No one has been murdered that we
have heard of, and no one has been
arrested for being drunk. We don't
see why some one could not have
thought of it before and chained up
old Nick sooner. We very much
fear, though, that in claiming the
old gentleman, several of the young
ones have been turned loose, Judging
from the pandimonium-like combat
that started at the Colored Church
on Saturday night and ended-"No

DIsGRACEFUL AFFAIR.-On last Sat
urday night at the Colored Church,
in Hoffman's addition, noted char
acter of the soiled dove variety cres-
ted some disturbance and was put
out of the Church. She was followed
by a number Of students and town
boys. In short time a collision
took place between the two parties in
which some vile threats were made
and promises to "see you later" On
Monday night the same two crowds
met again at the same place, with
the intention of settling the feud.
After considerable skirmishing, Ar
ley Lewellen, who espoused the cause
of the student, and Charley Pride
got into personal encounter, which
resulted in Pride receiving several
severe cuts about the neck, body and
legs. The boys were separated and
Pride taken to DR.. COMBS office,
where his wounds were dressed. Lew
ellen left on Tuesday morning for
Granville, but no doubt will be over
taken by the officers. AS much as
we regret to say it, we greatly fear
that we have some desperate, charac-
tiers in our midst, both among the
students and the town boys, and the
sooner we make examples of few
Of them the better it will be. The
cause of this riot should be driven
out of the sight of decent society.
1t is lasting disgrace to any boy or
young man to carry to his grave
scars Of wounds received in any such
fracas. Parents should keep boys
of this age in doors and directly un-
der their observation after dark, if
they have not manhood enough to
conduct themselves orderly.

A GREAT AID IN HOUSEKEEPING
No woman who has the care of a
house can afford to get along with
out The Housekeeper, a handsome
illustrated monthly which is SO prac-
teal and helpful that it saves any
hoqsekeeper time, steps, labor, and
very often trouble and perplexity,
which is worse than work. 1t is as
full of plans and suggestions of use
in housekeeping as an egg is of meat.
The publishers are bent on introduce
ing it everywhere, and they offer to
send it to Jan. l, 1881, to the lady
who first sends rs cents from any
post-off1ce in the United States or
Canadas. Any lady who sends 25
cents and fails to be first, will receive
the monthly four months or her mon
ey, rs she prefers. The regular price
Of The Housekeeper is 75 cents a
year. They also offer to send Serb
ner's, Harper's, The Atlantic, Co
dey's, Arthur's Potter's, Lippincott's
or, indeed, any of the monthly maya
zines for one year to those who get
up small clubs. For specimen copies

He has done work enough and showed
ability enough in his active life to
have made him millionaire in Col
orado, but he only made money for
the good it would do in this world.
He was too liberal and generous
hearted to want to take any of it with
him.
His disease was paralysis, his ply
stefan was his brother DR.. Marina
duke Dent, his last illness was OF
short duration, but he bore it with
that fortitude, which is character
istic of his family while at the same

which it was possible for loving and
devoted children to give.

nington, Marion county, and, on
Wednesday the Goth inst. laid by the
side of those of his excellent wife and
worthy son John Evans, who had
only preceded him few years to

his loss:
