Home Attraction.

When love and affection are
banished from home, life loses its
greatest charm. Some homes are
full of love and sunshine for stran-
gers, and all ugliness and gloom
for the ones for whom they live.
To constitute a truly happy home,
there should be pretty little per-
sonal adornments on the part of
the wife, who thereby shows de-
sire to please her.husband and add
to the general attractions of home.
A pleasant word on her part,when
the overworked man comes home,
often eases any raw edge of some
trouble on his mind, and draws
out corresponding desire to be
both agreeable and respectful,
which characteristics are always
recompensed by affection, while
roughness, and impotence are
soon followed by insolence, and
when sweet temper gives way to
anger and discord the home circle
is no longer attractive. A disre-
spectful manner on the side of the
husband or wife leads to disastrous
consequences.

FEET INTO GREEN RIVER.
Special Dispatch Cincinnati Enquirer.
MUNDFoRDsvILLE, KY. April
ia few days since, Thomas
Boyd, a clock-tinker, claiming
Ballast, Ireland, as his home,
came to this place and had a notice
published in the Hart county Dem
0crdt that he would Sunday Ito
day. Jump off the railroad bridge
across Green River, a structure
one hundred aud twenty-five feet
high. At ten 10 O'Clock people
began to gather from all points in
the country, and the trains north
and south brought from Bowling
Green, Cave City, Horse Cave,
Bacon Creek and Upton's, hum
dreds more to witness the big
jump. At IL o'clock at least one
thousand people had collected,
eager and anxious TO witness the
unparalled feat.
When the bridge Waterman in
formed the impatient crowd that
the railroad company had given
him orders to stop Boyd from
jumping, numerous threats were
made by the most determined to
have him make the leap whether
the railroad company was willing
or not, yet none were bold enough
to place him on the bridge.
Dissatisfied the crowd moved a
short distance up the river, and
made Boyd climb a sycamore
about forty-five feet and jump
from that. This he did with ease
and dexterity. The crowd cheer
ed furiously, and became SO much
the more anxious to see him make
the leap from the bridge.
Finally, as a last resort, dis
patches were sent to the proper
rail road authorities in Louisville
on the subject, and, in reply, word
was received that he could do so
under protest and at his own
peril. Clothed In black pants and
white vest, tight-fittiDg sclll
cap and in his stocking feet, he
walked out to the middle of the
bridge as cool and collected as
most men under ordinary circum-
stances, and laughed aud joked a
few minutes with the crowd,
when he announced that he was
ready to make the perilous leap.

He is the same man who jump

ever performed in America. Sat-

IUE SEVEN BIBLES OF THE WORLD.--
The seven Bibles of the world are the

tians. The Koran Is the most recent of
these seven Bibles, and not older than
the seventh century of our era. It is q
compound of quotations from the Old and
New Testaments, the Talmu., and the
Gospel Of st. Barnabas. The Eddas of
the Scandinavians were first published
in the fourteenth century. The Pitikes
OF the Buddhiats contain sublime morals
and pure aspirations, but their author
lived and died in the sixth century be.
fore Christ. There Is nothing of excel.
lence in those sacred books net found In
the Bible. The sacred writings of the
Chinese are called the Five Kings. "king"
meaning web Of cloth or the warp that
keeps the threads In their place. They
contain the best sayings of the best sages
on the political duties of life. These
BnyIngs cannot DC traced to a period
higher than the eleventh century B. @.
The three Vedas are the most ancient
books of tue Hindoos, and it Is the opin.
ion of Max Muller, Wilson, johnson and
Whitney that they are not older than
eleven centuries 3. G. The Zcnt davesta
of the Peralans is the grandest, of oil the
sacred books next to our Bible Zoroaster,
whose sayings it contains was born in the
twelfth century o. G. Moses lived and
wrote his Pentateuch fifteen centuries B.
O., and, therefore, has clear margin OF
300 years older than the most ancient of
the other sacred writings.

Southern Trade-C Cincinnati Does Net.

CIacINYATr, October

D.
10 the Editor Of the C0urier., Journal
I suppose that you are aware hv fllie Il ne
tnat the business men of Cincinnati voted
yesterday. Now, sir, do you suppose that
we propose to get down on our knees and
beg for Southern trade? IF you do. the
vote of yesterday doesn't show IL. Nov,
as far as Southern trade is concerned, it
is not worth going after; oil the goods
that are sold in that section of the coun-
try are sold by. Southern men who come
to Cincinnati, beg situations, work cheap
liike tho ChineeI; they make two or
three trips, and during those trips enough
Ead debts to break up an ordinary house.
am snre Cincinnati can do without your
Southern trade so. if you want it, why
take IT, and make less noise. Eight bills
out OF ten sold South are usually settled
ut about fifty cents on the dollar Con.
sequently, in selling them goods it IS
necessary to enlarge nnr nrlfita ia GET
even. So far asonr Southern Railscsa Is
concerned, it is paid for and no thsais to
the South. 1t you want tho cnstom Of
the lcng-haired Southerlers, Why just
call your Southern bnlldozing statesmen
from Cincinnati, and assure you If they
want any goods in Cincinnati they will
havo to come after them. OF course any
business house wants trade, but We prefer
70 trade with decent people, and not
those whc carry shot-gunsin their boots.
So far ns the sayings of the CbaspiegeidI
and HdSeite 60 they arc sustained by tho
citizens hers by, q largo majority. If
that be treason to the South, mako the
most of it.
