Constable with an Ejcctnent Writ.
A constable, II woman and n shotgun
were the chief actors in sangninary per-
Torrance at the Parkinson House, CD
Pennsylvania avenue, this morning. The
constable will not find it agreeable to sit
down for week, and the Parkinson House
boardcrs will have to work lunch routes ana
sleep in the parks until their landlady cx-
tricatcs herself from the unfortunate com
pications in which she became involved by
tho events of to-day. Mrs. j. j. Soudcr
rents the dwelling portion of the Parkinson
House from II cigar-makcr named f. Brink
man, who occupies store ON the first floor
and rents the entire premises from man
named Mcmahon. Tho rent has been
i'm arrears for some time, and Nc
Mahon after failing to effect u settlement
with Brinkman, cudcavored through legal
process TO secure il from Mrs. Soudcr. The
latter, who claims that BrinlSman owed her
more than the rent amounted TO, refused to
settle and consulted lawyer who advised
her to hold on and not to relinquish her
claim under any circumstances, ~ she was a
sub-tcnant and responsible only to Brink
man. This was sound advice, bat, accord
ing to the wonans statement, the lawyer
unwiscly advised her further to use any
means in defending her property and rights
should a constable pay her u visit.

{ AMERICAN VS.. ENGLISH MAcrINERY.-A
practical miller, writing to the Glas-
gov Herald, expatiates at great length
upon the causes which have brought
about the ruinous competition of Amer
lean mlllers with those Of the British
Islands. He contends that the Eng
llsh millers have neglected the most
important point in the contest for the
supremacy-viz: tho Improvement Of
their machinery, and that, therefore,
the only reason why the American
producer can import and undersell his
English competitor is that he has the
means through his superior mechan-
chanical appliances to produce finer
grade of -four at cost and with an
ease which put the English miller
hopelessly in the background. The
writer, however, claims that much of
the American -four imported into Eng
land is sold at an actual loss, and ad-
vlses his co-workers to adopt the most
improved Ammerican machinery now
IN use, and seize upon every new de-
vice as it comes from the inventors
hands.

The New York Herald's dispatches

The Suffering Animals.

The mules and work horses have
had an unusually hard time on the
sugar plantations of Louisiana in
1850. The oxen that haul logs to
the saw mills in Louisiana and Mis-
sissippi, have suffered severely since
last August. In hauling wood on
the plantations in August, the suffer
ings of the mules commenced, and
they have had to walow through
mud with heavy loads Of sugar cam"
often in hard and cold rains since
October. The season for saving hay
and fodder was bad, and the unror
tuuatc a1imals have had poor and
scanty supplies of food, as well is a
terrible tax upon their strength.
Many mules in the sugar parishes
have been so badly broken down
that they can be but of little service
for the planting season in the spring
Some will never again b. of much
service Plenty OF starved and fee
bic oxen can be seen in the pine
lands. and often the carc,,secs of
those that have died Of starvation
and oyprwork and stripes We saw
a team near Brook haven lately, STUCK
in the mud with load ofgrecn pine
They looked rs hollow rs death, and
thcir sides were lined with the
marks ola large, muddy rawbide
whip. The negro driver had tor
>urel the wretchcd and faithful ami
mails for not having strength enough
in their bodies to pull the load ont
of the mud. And the oxen looked
as though they had not been fed foi

'If the iron be dull" the wise
mal informs us that we must put

many preachers seem to have heed
ell this suggestion, and when their
sermons are usually dull, they strive
to max" up for their dullness by
noise. fuss and fury. In fact, there
are some persons whose axes appear
never to have been sharpened. Some
are Just as they came from the forge

Will not cut. 1t is hard work to
chop with dull axes; it is wcarisomc
and diScouragiug; and those who
have tried to, and are still trying to,
may well seek that wisdom which is
"prolitahle to direct, and see that
the axe is sharp, and ready for ac-
tive service Body and mind, soul
and spirit, should be kept in con-
slant readiness for work, and in the
most effective possible condition.
10 do this, it is necdful to be care

and to maintain such unbroken com

as shall enable us to so use the
sword of the Spirit that they may
