WE commend the following to house
wives: The cellar, laundry and kitchen
are among the places that demand daily
care. if one would guard against much
wastcfulness. 1t is incredible how much
that could he profitably used either for
the family or to help the poor, is thrown
away or rendered worthless through the
lack of little economy. The wasteful-
ness of only one day is small perhaps,
and not easily recognized; but the mis-
chief once begun and suffered 20 pass un-
rebuked fills up rapidly till it reaches the
sum total At the end of the year, which is
found TO be immense. For instance the
waste of soap and starch alone in the
hands of an ordinarily good laundress,
week after week, would easily supply a
poor family with all they would require.
Clothes lines. clothes pins left ont TO rot
and mildew, instead of being brought in
and put IN their proper place, will help to
swell the list OF expenses at the end OF
the year more than one would a; first inn
agine, not only by the actual expense,
but more by the injury done to clothes
by this neglect.

On Thursday evening as the STATES
MAN reporter was meekly proceeding up
the Avenue Officer Darrieot stepped out
of a doorway and taking him in tow, SOL
EMMY marched him to Judge Lees, where
he was informed his valuable services as
Juror were wanted. The time set for
the trial was 2 o'clock. but the lawyers,
rs usual, We're not ready, and it was over
an hour before it was proceeded with.
About dozen jurors hadbeen summoned
and were in attendance. Many excuses
were made by almost every one of the
dismal crew, but only two British sub
jects and gentleman who had been for
tunate enough to marry third cousin of
one of the parties involved in the suit,
were excused. The other fellows,
among whom was the reporter, ut
once mentally vowed TO either slime
the blarsted Britishers,r or marry the
third cousin of the first man who would
offer herself this leap year. About half
past 3 O'Clock the lawyers discovered on
which side they had been engaged, and
after finding out what the case was
about, got up aud pretended to be
perfectly familiar with its merits and
announced ready to proceed. A witness
was called, and after taking his seat was
questioned and cross questioned for the
space of two hours about. the contents of
A certain contract. BY this1ime the law
yers. the court, and the jurors were 30
comfortably befogged they didn't know
head or tail of the aforesaid contract as If
the instrument had never had an exist
enee. Fortunately one of the lawyers
happened to remember that the witness
had the contract in his pocket. II was
promptly called for, aud on being pro-
duced was found to consist OF about ten
lines of closely written legal cap. The
fog was at once dispclled. and the law
yers winked at the jury and pretended
that they knew all the time its contents.
one or two other witnesses were intro
duced, but were not permitted to tell any
thing they knew, after which the lawyers
argued the case for nearly two hours.
Officer Dsrricot then punched and woke
up the Jury. The judge kindly informed
them how TO write out their. verdict, and
plscing the papers pertaining 10 the case
IN their hands, left. The jury examined
lhem and found out what the trial was
.hont and made up their verdict in less
th.n ten minutes. Just as they were
about 10 leave ofieer Darrieot presented
each Juror with the magnificent sum Of
nfy cents, which 80 worked upon the
Feelings Of lle jury that they were over
i. cQns and wept mnehly.

In compliance with the
UNIVERSAL CUSTOM
last Saturday Giles Binford, Louis Dav-
idson, Lee Edwards, Campbell Manor
and one Bradshaw, all colOred and all

Circleville road, were in the city, and
after passing the day rambling around
looking at the sights they started for
home about six O'Clock. Bintord was
considerably under the influence of
liquor and rs the party reached a point
about six miles from town and near Giles
Bmditt's he commenced to curse a family
living i'm house on the roadside. Louis
Davidson reproved him, whereupon
he dismounted and commenced TO
hurl the most fearful Oaths at David
son and threatened to shoot him,
Davidson dismounted, and, turning his
horse loose, rapidly approached Binford
and struck him blow on the chest The
two then remounted, and the whole party
started of, and after going a short dis
stance, Binford, who had been swearing
and cutting up at lively rate, fell
FROM HIS HORSE.
Two or three of his companions, among
whom was Davidson, never stopped, but
rode off, saying Binford was drunk Lee
Edwards, however, got down from his
horse and discovered that he had been
wounded in the breast and was dead.
Lee Edwards, Manor and Davidson rode
over to Housen Clark's, colored, and
stopped for few moments, but said moth
ing about Binford. Shortly aftcr,a colored
man and woman on theirway home from
town discovered the body of Binford,
and going over to old man Clark's told
him of it, and he and few of the neigh
bors went TO the place and watched the
body all night, and Sunday morning sent
TO town and notified Judge Lee, who went
out and held an inquest. BinfOrd was Sc
verely cut in the breast with knife, the
blade penetrating the cavity, inilicting Il
wound from the effects of which he died.
The jury of inquest returned verdict of
