4 Bold Attack oar "A White MAN
by u Negro Despcraao.

\ few eyenins ago while Mr.. Drv-
ant one Of the owners of the Arling-
ton plantation, was on his way to town.
a drunken negro man threw himself
across the road, and armed with razor
deticd him to continue further. Mr..
y. turned his horse and passed rapidly
by, but returning home he attempted to
pass from his residence to the sugar
house, but on opening the large gate
separating the two houses he was again
accostea by the same son OF Africa, who
seemed determined to take his life. A
sharp personal encounter ensued. in
which Mr. b. snapped his pistol twice
wit il no discharge, but being a strong
and active man, he made his escape Sc
cure with no less injury than an ugly
cash across the left temple and some
flesh wounds on the hand. An affidavit
for the arrest Of the would-be assassin
has been made out and even Justice lays
in store for him.-Capitolian.

\ SHARP But RAsCALLY TRICK.-
Last week an old lady living near Afri-
ca street, First ward wishing to lay her
treasure where moth and rust doth not
corrupt, was so unfortunate as to place
it where thieves broke through and
stole it. She had heard of bank failures
and knew we'll the weakness of men i'm
money matters, and not willing to trust
her money TO an iron safe, she thought
to make it more secu,c by burying it.
\ convenient ahd we'll defined spot in
the yard was selected and her S74,OO i'm
hard cash was buried deep in the ground,
but unfortunately for her, some heart
less rogue had watched her movements
ami no sooner was she out Of sight than
the treasure was unearthed and the Door
woman robbed. We deeply sympathise
with her and hope the lost money may
be recovered.-Capitolian.

The RGbber ETA Hornets Nest.

Ihc following story OF how shrcWtl-
ness aud penetration saved a mans
property is told by Mrs. I. ID. Brown.
\ pea a-sellcr, 10 whom nature had
given no grace of person, nor bestowed
any mental endoWmentS, made up for
the deficiencies by large share of phys
ical strength and energy.
His wife acquired his shrewdncss and
penetration.
Thongh their tga,ic was humble and
yielded but Il small profit, the pea-scller
had, by skill and economy, saved a
small amount.
Investin. itin some other spccnlaiions
and more especially in loans of money,
he became IN time, noted as a small cap
italist in the place where he was con
ductins business.
He bad Il comfortable house TO live in,
Il we'll from which to draw water from
fof culinary purposes and near the well
stood a large tamaTinu tree, on a branch
OF which some hornets had made a large
hive.
One night a thief got into the house
aud Whilst trying to open Il latch of the
door, was observed hy the pca-sellel
and his wife, who were awake at the
time and Guessed that some ono had en-
tered their dwelling.
Shrcwdiy guessing his purpose, the
wife spoke i'll a whisper,
1t was sufficiently andihlc to her hus-
band and the robhcr, asking where the
moncy-boN was concealed the husband
replied that the box was fastened to a
branch Of the tamarind tree near the
we'll.
The robbor, obtaining, by chance, thi:
information which he was so desirous
of learning, abandoned the thought oI
getting into the house,
He went under the tamarind tree, ant
looking up, discovered, by tho reflection
OF the moonbeams, that something like
4 box was hanging to one of the
branches.
He climbed the tree with agility. ant
just as he had put out his hand ant
seized the hive, the hornets, who were
disturbed in their nights repose, flew i,
numbers to resist the wanton attack.
They aIighted on his face, hands ant
back, intlicting d hundred wounds a
| once, against the torture Of which, th,
rohher. who could not stand, let go hi
| hold of the tree and fell with lout
splash into the we'll beneath, smarting
| The next morning the robber wa
taken and consigned to the stocks.

The --latest Abstinence Feat.

Mrs. Chattermug, a lady living on
Nevada Street, got excited over the ac-
counts Of DR.. Tanners fast and an
nounced that she would refrain from
talk for forty days. She began at 8
o'clock in the morning and at 10:39 her
pulse was so feeble from exhaustion that
her physicians feared she would die by
noon. At eleven her heart beat but
twenty aminute, and her respirations
were hardly noticeable. Her friends
here urged hert to discontinue her ter
rible task and told her some gossip
about neiahbor. On hearing it she
imedately rushed form the house, and
going acroos the street met a lady friend
and talked until 6;30 at night and is new
fully restored. Her record of nearly
two hours and a quarter of absolute
science now takes its place at the top
of the list. Congratnlatory letters are
pouring in from all sides and she has
had several offers to take the lecture

two men differed as to their relative
qualities as marksmen. To settle the
dispute one bet the other Il glass of
beer that the other could not hit his hat,
