Yesterday afternoon a difficulty occurred
on Congress street, near Montgomery, be-
tween a white man named Warst and
colored man named Bill Waring, during
which the former knocked the latter down
with a rock. The negro quickly arose, aud,
clinching the white man, was pUmmelling
him lively, when 3 constable separated the
parties. Shortly after Policeman Jones ap-
peared on the scene and arrested both
parties

A Manned Hand Leads TO the Detee-
sfor, Of an E.oanad CrtnfuaI


ton of an Escaped Criminal.
One Of the negroes who was arraigned
before the City Court yesterday and SEN
fenced to six months on the chain gang has
a little history. On the 10th Of January
last this fellow, Jeffrey Williams, was con-
victed in the City Court and sentenced to
six months on the chsin-gang. He was
returned with other prisoners to the jail in
charge Of Constable Smith, and was hand
cuffed to another negro. When just about
the front Of the jail Williams slipped his
hand from the bracelet and dashed of, fol
lowed By the officer, who fired three shots
after him, but he managed to escape.
Ii seems that Williams had lost two fingers
from his left hand, to which the cuffs were
attached, and this enabled him to slip his
hand through. He left the city and was
away several months, but hankering to see
the OLD haunts, he returned here recently,
aud before long became involved in some
trouble and was arrested by a policeman.
He was arrsigned in the Police Court and
fined $40. and not having the cash, was sent
to the Jail to be forwarded TO Cuyler
swamp. On Saturday evening his time ex
pired and he was brought back to the Jail to
be discharged. Deputy Sheriff Goebel
was present and accidentally noticed that
two of the fingers of the left hand were
gone, and Immediately spotted him as
Jeffrey Williams, the negro who lad es-
capped over six months ago. He VS. under
an assumed name, and at frat denied he
was Williams, but finding denial was no
use, finally acknowledged to the identity.
Instead of receiving his discharge, he was
escorted to a cell and locked up until yester-
DAY, when he was taken before Judge Har-
den, of the City Court, and there being no
doubt of his identity, he was resentenced
for the term of six months on the chain
gang.

THE GROWING SCARCITY OF BLACK
WALNUT.-The Toronto Globe says that
black walnut is becoming so scarce that
it is next to impossible to obtain a suffi-
cient supply to meet the demand One
hundred dollars per thousand feet has
been paid this year for the same quality
of black walnut as could be purchased
last year for seventy dollars. The Cana
dian supply is exhausted, and lately it
has been obtained from Indiana, but the
supply has also given out there and now
it is obtained from Kansas, Kentucky,
Arkansas and South Tennessee. The
Globe says that walnut culture will pay
5000 per cent. in twenty years, and sug-
gests that farmers living along the shores
Of Lake Erie should plant it, that soil
being particularly adapted to its growth.

Another American institution being in
troduced into the United Kingdom is the
Irish. or rather the American, potato.
1t has been found that the frequentness
of the failure of the potato crop of late
years has been largely due to the fact
that the potato has greatly deteriorated
and physically degenerated in that coun-
try. To correct this evil, American
seed potatoes are now being carried to
Ireland for planting, just as California
vines are supplanting the worn out vines
in Southern France.

Broad Wagon Tires.

"We have often wondered" remarks
the Chicago Tribune, "wlly people per-
sist in the use of narrow wagon tires in
any section Of country where the roads
are of clay and mud. Common sense
should teach men that the narrower the
tire the deeper the wheel will sink down
in the mud. The prevailing width of
road-wagon tires is one and three-fourths
to two inches, when they should be at
least double that. IF the tire were four
inches wide, the wagon would not sink
one quarter as deep in soft roads, and
those terrible ruts seen in wet weather
would not exist. Broad tires have the
effect of smoothing and improving clay
roads. The surface of roads will stand
certain amount of pressure, but the
narrow tire of loaded wagon cuts
through it Like knife whereas broad
tire four to five inches wide would roll it
without sinking. We find the following
on this subject in the Dowagiac (Mich. }
Republican:
"sThe wide-tire wagon is coming into
general use in this vicinity. Those who
have purchased this style of wagon could
not be induced to go back to the old.
The philosophy OF this is readily OBJ
served. The broad tire does not cut
through, either in mud or sand, thus
making the draught much lighter be-
side this the roads are not cut up, but,
to the contrary, the broad tire presses
down the Jumps and leaves a smooth
track, thus lettering the roads, the adj
vantage of which is easily understood.
Many farmers and teamsters are having
their wheels fixed over with a broad
tire, which is done at small cost, while
hardly new wagon is made here Of the
old style. It is hoped that the broad
tire will be generally adopted, and that
none will purchase wagon without
first considering the benefits arising
from using this style. The tire which
seems to meet with general favor is three
and half inches wide.'"

Pluck in Death.

s Col. Malleson, in the closing volume
of his history Of the Indian mutiny,
commonly called the Sepoy mutiny,
gives some curious instances of pluck in
death. Brigadier Horsford, he states,
had driven q strong rebel force across
that river the Rapti), and in fording it,
{ in pursuit of them, many men of the
Seventh Hussars and the First Panjab
cavalry had been swept away by the
force of the current, and were lost.
Among these was Maj. Home, of the
Seventh Hussars. Aftersome search his
body was drawn out of deep hole, his
hands having fast grip on two Of the
rebels, while the bodies of two troopers
who persisted with him were found, each
with his hands clutching rebel sowar. !"
This was an exhibition Of the ruling pas
sion strong in death, and engaged In do
ing deaths work. There is nothing like
fighting, once men have entered upon it.
Few man but are slow to fight, from
choice; but when they enter upon it.
from the pressure of some overpowering
necessity, there is nothing they are In
capable Of doing in it s course.

dress too warm or too cold-walk too

stantly at work to put de rest of us on

Gone day we hear dat consumshun

Mex day it am predicted dat de fewel

Next fling we h'ar of am de statemen,
dat de average Of human life am GROWN.
