time confined to the house, and three months

including a large quantity of morphine, all of
which proved worse than useless. AS to what
I suffered, the English language cannot tell

walked down town without them

Since thenI have not used them, and can now

and angry debate. extending over several
days, In which Garfield was the chief de-
fender of the Ring. Under his lead the
Republican majority voted down restric-

With this foundation laid, the Ring

House at this coercive proceeding. The
bill was postponed till March 8, 1873,
when Congress would adjourn. Mr.. Hol-
man and others made an effort to reopen
the conference; but it was too late, The
report was sustained under Gar6eld's

+" Real Havana Cigars"

Havana cigars are likely to advance in
price for a rather odd reason. Since last
October straw paper has gone up rs per
cent, and it is a fact that many of the 30
called Havana cigars are made from this
article, which is manufactured chiefly in
New York State. The straw paper is
taken to Cuba, saturated in decoction
made from the stems and refuse of the
choice Havana seed leaf, and when prop
erly treated with havoring extracts, liquor
ice root, SIENNA, ETC., makes filling for ci-
gars. Besides, it burns with pure, white
ash precisely like that Of tho genuine leaf,
unlike that yielded by any other material.
Specimens of prepared paper seen in New
York are described as closely resembling
the leaf in appearance, taste and flavor.

Assasslns Relsnlng In Turkey.

LONDON, April 3.-A correspondent at
Oonstautinople hints that the assassination
Of the Grand Shereef of Mecca, who was
stabbed by u Persian fanatic on March IA,
and died on March 2i, was procured by
Abdul Muttalib Pash~ his successor, who
had long been in Constantlnople endeav-
oring to convince the Sultan, that Sheik
Hussein, the murdered Shereef sought to
free Arabia from Turkish rule. Abdul
Muttalib Pasha was Grand Shereef of
Mecca at the time of the Jiddah massacre,
in 1858, and was deposed, at the demand
Of England, in consequence of that affair.
He enjoys great reputation among the
Arabs as u warrior and statesman, and as
descendant of the Prophet. lie has a
Canatical hatred and contempt for all
ChrstiAns-indeed, it is whispered that he
is Wahahee-but especially for the Brit
ish, in consequence of the energetic action
of the Government at the time of Jiddah
massacre.

A Silver Ring In a Potatoes Heart.

The Wilmington, N. c. Star says =
Mr.. Elijah Hewlett, Treasurer of the
county, informs us of somewhat singu-
lar occurrence at his place in Masonboro
township, on Monday last One of his
children broke open largo cooked potato,
Of the Haman species, and discovered
silver finger ring imbeded in the very
heart of the potato. How it got there is
the question. 1t is thought that the "slip"
drst grew through the centre of the ring
and then closed around it as it grew to
perfection. AS soon as the discovery be-
camc known the rest Of Mr.. Hewletts
children wanted to prosecute thorough
investigation among all the potatoes on
the plantation.

Ed. +. Lee, vice president of the Elbow

young lady, who has adopted some
what unusual method of getting hus-
band. The fair correspondent says that
she shut her e6es, opened city directory
at random and decided to make leap
year proposal of marriage to the man
whose name her finger rested on. That
man happened to be Mr.. Lee, and the fair
one, not knowing but he might be "some
horrible fellow" hesitated some time be-
fore addressing formal proposition of
marriage to him. The club will hold
special meeting this evening to consider
the advisability of accepting Mr.. Lees

ROuuh Plan Of Aarinu.

PouanKEErsiE, N. y, April O.-At o
o'clock this morning Johnson Q, WhItta-
ker, colored cadet OF West Point, OF
the class of 1870, was found bound hand
aud foot Ia his room at The barracks, with
pieces Of ono ear cut Off, the other ear
slit and his head bruised. IIe stated that
three masked men attack him while he
was In bed, ehortly after midnight and
committed tue deed. General Shoileld
aud Commandant Luzelle are investiga-
ting the affair. 1t Is believed that the out
rage was committed by cadets.
A West Point special says the opinion
has become general among the officers and
cadets that Whitaker cut aud bound him
self. When General Scho6ed told Whit
talSer that the officers thought he was play
ing trick, the young man said that the
charge was insult added to injury aud de-
nanded II court of inquiry. The request
was granted, and the court will meet Fri
day morning with open doors.
Surgeon Alexander says that the man
was not insensble when he was found.
His cuts were very slight, nor was there
any bruise on his head that would have
caused iusensiblity. The blood was fresh
and could not, 1t is said, have flowed from
wounds inflicted so long as three or four
hours before.

The Man Who Boasts.

The man who boasts is twin born to
liar, for neither of them can tell the
truth except by accident, and yet it must
be very comfortable to feel that what
you do is always the very best thing that
can be done by any one, and that you
know just little more than any living
man. We are acquainted with tender
hearted gentleman whose experiences are
always exceptional, and who has seen
thousand things which no mortal eye
save his own ever looked upon. When
he went up the Rigi it was the clearest
day that had been known for full CEN
tury, and when he travelled over the st.
Gothard he went through storm of hail
stones the least of which was bigger
than q hens egg, and the guide, who was
three-score years and ten, and had been
over the pass more than two thousand
times, declared that he had never in his
life witnessed such spectacle before.
The old gentleman crossed the ocean in
the greatest hurricane ON record, and
saw more icebergs than the Oldest sea
captain in the service. His children
were all geniuses, and he had found
governess for them who proved the most
learned and accomplished woman in the
world.
One day the poor man was stricken
with paralysis, and we feared that his
happy boastfuiness was over; but after
six weeks we met him on the street and
he told us that be had been visited by
eighteen doctors, who all declared that
that particular kind of paralysis had
never before made its appearance. So
he lives on in the cheerful belief that he
has the best of everything, and every
time we see him we envy him. Our
toothache is always of the grinding sort,
while his makes him feel Us though he
had music box IN his mouth When
our leg gets broken it is only an ugly
fracture, but his IS a compound fracture
of compound fracture. We send for
doctor to cure our ills, and he proves
to be only an ordinary NJ. D., but when
he seeks physician he finds man who-I
has taken every known degree in every
known science, and who cures the worst
cases ever heard of in the easiest way
ever heard of When our friend dies he
will probably come back through some
medium just to tell us that his death
was the most wonderful death in the
world, and that he found when he got
up yonder that they had saved choice
little corner for him, where he expects
to be more comfortable than anybody
who ever entered the celestial regions. |
If all this is mere boasting and lying
then boasting and lying are no longer
gross faults. but verv comic rtlng virtues

Pigs for Next Year.

AS this is the time of year when farm
ers are determining what hogs to fatten,
it is also tho time for deciding upon
what they will do for pigs the coming
year. AS is often the case, farmer will
fatten and kill off all the sows that have
had pigs that season. and depend upon
gifts for breeders the following year.
But it is never good policy to kill SOW
that has proved herself a good. breeder
and sucker. and rely upon one whose
qualities in these respects are yet to be
developed. Besides, the pigs of SOW
which has already proved herself good
breeder and mixer are always, as gen.
eral thing, stronger, start off much bet
ter, and are sure to keep the lead in the
race of fattening. The worth of good
SOW in bacon is a small matter in
comparison with the two litters of
pigs she will have tho following year.
The farmer should always endeavor to
raise his own stock. whether they be
horses, cows, sheep or hogs and if he has
good comfortable quarters for his sows
they should bs bred early in November,
SO as to farrow in March But if his
sows are allowed to run ont in the fields
or wood lot, and take chances, it is better
not to breed them until January If
they farrow in March they can have an
other litter in August or early in Sep
tember but if they have their first litter
the last of April or first OF May, they can
not be expected to have another brood
before cold weather sets in A SOW will
have pigs in four. months lacking six
days from the time she is bred, and the
farmer should make preparations for the
occasion accordingly. She should be
put in separate apartment at least
week before farrowing so as to nccustom
her to her new quarters, supply ing her
in the meantime with cut straw for bed
ding. After farrowing she should not
be disturbed for day or two, even to
give her food and drink, for when she
wants either she will soon let you know
After beginning to feed her increase her
allowance gradually for the first five or
six days, and then give her as much rich
food as she will eat The pigs will soon
learn to eat with her, and should also
have all they will eat In this way the
pigs can be made to weigh from $50 to
200 pounds by the time they are eight
months old. This is the most profitable
way to make pork. No time for cholera;
no time for idle capital; no time for "bad
luck" of any kind.

Popular Sayings from Pope.

Although the poems of Alexander
Pope are seldom read at the present day,
people, without knowing it, quote him
more frequently than any other author
or book with the exception, perhaps, OF
the bible, Shakespeare, Milton, Byron,
Isaac Watts, Benjamin franklin, Esop.
The following list of quotations will
give some idea of his popularity in this
regard:
Shoot folly as it flies.
Man never is, but always to be, blest.
Lo, the poor Indianl
Die of q rose in aromatic pain,
All are but parts of one stupendous
whole.
Whatever is, is right.
The proper study of mankind is man.
Grows with his growth and strength
ems with his strength
Vice is monster of SO frightful mien,
etc.
Pleased with rattle, tickled with a
straw.
He can't be wrong whose life is in the
right
Order is heavens first law.
Honor and shame from no condition rise;
Act well tiny part-there all the honor lies.
Worth makes the man, the want of it
the fellow
An honest mans the noblest work of
God.
Looks through nature up to nature S
God.
From grave to gay, from lively to Sc
we're.
Guide, philosopher and friend.
Just as the twig is bent the trees in
clined.
Mistress of herself, though China
fall.
Who shall decide when doctors disa-
gree?
A little learning is dangerous thing.
To err is human, to forgive divine.
Fools rush in where angels fear to
tread.
Damn with faint praise.
Willing to wound and yet afraid to
strike
Breaking butterfly upon wheel.
The feast of reason and a flow of soul.
Welcome the coming, speed the COM
ing guest.
Do good by stealth and blush to find
it flame.
And damnation around the land.
That mercy TO other show
That mercy show TO me.
That mockery of woe.
This is the Jew,
That Shakespeare drew.
Party is the madness of many for the
gain of few.
