shipper of false gods, to call him q ooun.

pagaAs; heather, or dweller on the
open heath, the Gothic haithi. The
dweller in the city (a1rbs) was not only
urban, but he, and he alone, heard and
comprehended Gods word. The times
are changed. The unbeliever, the child
of darkness, who threatens the institu-
tions of civilization, is a member of the
ciuitas. To the countryman (paga,aaIs)
we now look to preserve the faith and
furnish the police to keep in check tho
wild man of the city. In the ancient
days, if a man wanted to avoid his obi
cations to society, or to escape the pen
atty of q crime committed against so
-ciety, he fed to the wilderness; now he
: finds his safest retreat in the most
densely populated part of great city.
He buries himself in q tenement house,
filed to oyerdowing with his urban
fellow-men of the clan Kearney, who
care less for his incomings and outgo-
ings than the beasts OF the field cared
for those of the malefactor Of old who
hid himself in cave. .---.... :

comparable only to the sense Of DESC

Important for the South.
New Orleans Times.l

A good deal of interest is being mani
tested in a patent which, it is alleged,
will enable planters to secure double
profit frcm their cotton crop. It is
called the "Clement Attachment" and
the general theory of it is that it may
be attached to the gin in the Clubhouse,
and will convert the seed cotton directly
into silver" The seed cotton is said
to be cleaned of all dust, grit and much
leaf, trash aud notes before it is passed
to the attachment. The general inten-
tion of the attachment is to SO modify
the plantation gin that it will work in
direct connection with the manufactu-
rer's card. Vast consequences are i'm
piled in what the attachment assumes
to do. The cotton grower will at once
take in the intention, and will await
further advices with deep-interest. The
mission of the alleged Improvement is
highly important, and every producer
will wish that it may prove more def.
nitely than it has up to date, to be" as
represented" .la Asss -aoG iaia74G'

A House of Ice.

A house of ice, similar TO that which
was built in Empress Anne's reign, is
about to be constructed in the Zoologi-
cal Garden at Moscow. The managers
of hat establishment have found among
its archives some valuable details as to
the mode of building which was
adopted on the former occasion, and
they will be adhered to in the present
instance. The first edifce was raised
between the admiralty and the winter
palace of st. Petersburg, in 1740, and
was formed throughout-walls, roof,
windows, decorations, alike-ofd ice.
The blocks were cut in a square shape
and their surfaces sprinkled with water,
which, when the cubes were placed in
juxtaposition, froze in the linterstices
and bound the whole into one compact
and solid mass. At the entrance of the
structure was a large gallery filled with
statues. The pilasters on the exterior
were fashioned to initiate green marbles.
The antechamber possessed four win
dows and the other rooms five each,
while on the sills stood vases filed with
flowers made of ice, shrublike plants,
covered with birds of the same material,
standing at the corners. Clock cases,
chairs, tables. wardrobes, utensils, can
deiabra, beds, were ali of ice. 81 fiti

Thu. do They Fight.

Indian Commissioner Hayt has been dis
missed by Secretary sehurs, and official circles
and Members Of Congress are greatly exercised
over the summary dismissal. There seems to
be no reason to doubt that Schnrzz acted thus
hastily in obtaining positive proof that Hayt
was complicated in speculations, and had been
given away by General Hammond, who, it
seems, felt he had been villifed by -Hayt, and
determined to be revenged by telling what he
knew. telegram says that Schurz denies
that his action in dismissing Hayt was based
on what Hammond said to General Fisk about
the truth of the reports connecting Hayt with
using his official place to speculate in Arizona
mines, but that he had acted without any know
ledge that Hammond had made a confession
about Hayt. He placed it on the ground that
Hayt had violated orders by Withholding certain
Information which the Depar ment should have
had in regard to Indian affairs. The whole
matter is full of scandal, and for the time
being is the only town talk at Washington.

The naldutn mxstem

The mysterious murder of Harry Baldwin at
Cincinnati in March last is again attracting
public attention. The grand jury in session
has developed some new facts that put an en-
tirely different light upon the mystery, and
makes it appear more probable than ever before
that the pistol of the man SchaIler did the
deadly work. Peter Schwab, a Hamilton
brewer, testiRes that he was introduced to
Baldwin on the Saturday afternoon at the Vine
Street opera-house, Cincinnati, by Schalier
himself, at which time it has heretofore been
said Baldwin was in Connersville, Ind This
he can substantiate by the proprietor of the
Vine Street 0pera-house and by two of the
actors. It is also testifed-to that Baldwin at
tended this place in the evening, and left it in
company with Hahn and Schaller only thirty
minutes before the news of his death was heard.
This, notwithstanding that Schaller has con-
stantly persisted that he was unacquainted
with Baldwin, and had never seen him to know
him in his life. -G'rI -- r

Advice Gratis.

One may sometimes feel like intrud-

women who have 10 maze the best they
can of their surplus earnings. They are
tempted by lotteries and money produe-

inexperience exposes them to deception.
The sharper may handle them to their
ruin. Who will volunteer to warn
them not to DE deceived by ungrounded
expectations? What more friendly SER
vice can be rendered them than to reiter-
ate the old maxims that are the basis of
all sound business prosperity, but which
are apt to be forgotten in the rush and

the moderate savings of many years may
