MEN BoARDERs, NOT WOMEN
WANTED.

A lady saw sign on Broughtou
street recently, reading, "Boarders
Wanted, Permanent or Transient,
and she modestly rang the bell. She
was invited inside and when seated
in the parIor said she called to see il
some arrangements could not be made
so that she could board there. The
IandIady astonished her by saying
that she could take no lady bosrders
under any consideration, and set
forth as follows her reasons
"Take a man to board and he is of
no more trouble than gray kitten.
Ii his bed is shaken up once a week,
his coats, cravats, loveletters, cigars,
pipes ard boots left undisturbed in
the middle of the floor, he is as
harmless and contented as a peda>
gogue in vacation timo.
Take woman to board, and (if
it's perfectly conveniently she would
like drapery instead of drop curtains,
she'd like the windows altered to
open at the top and wardrobe for
her hounced dresses, few more
nails and another shelf in her closet,
and cricket to put her feet on, and
a little rocking chair, big looking
glass and a pea green shade for it
She would like breakfast about ten
minutes later than your usual hocr,
tea ten minutes earlier, and the bell
which shocks her nerves so, should
be dispensed with.
"She can't drink coffee, because
it is exhilaratiug, broma is 200 in
sipid and chocolate too heavy. She
didn't fancy coffee. English break
fast tea is the only beverage which
agrees with her delicate spinster orr
ganizAtion. She can't digest roast
or a fried fish, she might possibly
peck at an egg if it were boiled,
with one eye on the watch. Pastry
she never cas-, unless she knows
from where the butter came which
enters into it's composition. Every
article of food prepared with butter,
salt, pepper, mustard, vinegar or
oil, or bread that is made with yeast,
soda, milk, or saleratus, she deci>
dedly rejects.
"She's often afflicted with interes-
ting little colds and inhuenzas re
quiring the immediate consolation of
a dose of hot lemonade or ginger
tea, choosing her time for these com
plants when the kitchen 6re has
gone out and the servants are on a
few hours furlough. Oh nobody
knows but those who have tried how
immensely troublesome women are.
Id rather have a regiment of men
boarders. All you have to do is to
wind them 10 the morning with a
powerful cup of coffee, give them
cartc blanche to smoke and night
key, and your work is done. No,
mann, cannot take you to board"

WHY Do THEY Use SALTF-The
Lancet calls attention to the increas-
ing adulteration of beer with salt,
especially in east London, where one
analysis reported that twenty four
samples, examined by him during
the last quarter, contained salt The
quantity of salt, although not stated,
is presumed to have been sufficient
to constitute a case of sdulterstion.
The Laucet says: "Fhe purpose of
the salt is, of course, to make the
beer drinker thirsty and to induce
him to drink more than he at first
intended )" and it adds that the Of
Tense sis crime which ought to be
punished with exceeding severity"
1t does not seem probable that this
is the true motive of the "drink sell
lers" 10 adding salt, inasmuch as the
quantity used would hardly have the
effect attributed to it. 1t may have
been added by the brewer with an
idea to its preservative action, or by
the dealer to restore the flavor par
italy destroyed by the dilution of
the beer with water.-Sanitary En- :

A DANCE OF DEATH.

One of the most startling, weird
and realistic tragedies yet recorded
in connection with the great small
pox scOurge which has swept over
the country occurred about three
weeks ago. A gentleman living in
Richmond gave bali, and Tom Tay.
lor, a famous negro fiddler 10 these
parts, was called upon to furnish the
music. A large company of ladies
and gentlemen attended the party
and dancirg was kept ap until the
morning hours, Fiddling Tom, who
had complained early 10 the even
ing of feeling bad, had seemed to
grow wild ard his music grew quick
er, so that the feet of the young dan
GERS, nimbie though they we're, could
not keep pace with tho rush of his
music He sang out the figures in
a stenorian voice, aud, his own mus
sic, swsyed his body to and fro like
one bewitched, while bis eyes be-
came bloodshot and his voice husky.
Suddenly, just before the hour for
breaking up the party arrived, the
fiddler fell from his lofty seat in de-
Iirium, and the .sffrighted dancers
crowded around him until one of
them stopping over him, saw the
livid splotches of the dreaded red
rash over his face, and cried -
Great God the man has got the
small pox.' The thrOng dispersed
10 a moment.
A few weeks before the party took
place Bob Jackson, negro who had
been discharged from the small pox
hospital, stole some of the clothing
of the inmates aud sold them to diff
ferent persons as new. Among the
buyers was Tom Taylor, the fiddler,
and he caught the dreaded disease
from the infested clothing. He died
next evening. Three other persons
who bought the clothing caught the
disease, aud two of them died last
night. None of the attendants at
the party caught the small pox be-
cause they were inoculated that
night before they retired.
The only punishment inflicted
upon Bob jackson, the negro who
stole the clothing, and thus killed
three people, was the initiation of
twenty FIVE lashes on his bareback.

A WOMAN MARKHT-THE SALE
OF WOMEN I'm TUNIs.

OF WOMEN I'm TUNIS.
A most impressive journey is that
to the palace of the Boy, the Bardo.
Passing through the Marine Gate,
we enter the quarters of the town
which lie between the ancient wall
and the outward ramparts, we glide
past a confused multitude of huts,
and houses, and shops (which are a
ioke) filled With charming rubbish
kept by wax work figures, rows Of
sable women sitting against white
washed walls with piles of bread,
youths with savage faces, bent old
men leaning on their stats, NANCY
children with scald ,heads-shirted,
hooded, naked, with features black
and yellow, in all defnabIe shades,
is costume for the most part white,
squatted 10 circles, asleep in corners,
motionless as the rubbish heaps
which form the background, without
smile, without one movement of
muscle, oppressed, weary, petrifed,
filing the air with mystery.
We rode on amid a scene pesce>
full, silent, sad. In these wretched
little imps and hose horrible bags we
see the children OF ust and debris of
the seraglio. Year by year the ne
gro villages of Soundan are ram,
sacked for girls Of yoluptuous beauty
who are stolen or bought for
few beads or bottle of rum for the
Mussullman market where, unmoy I'd
by pay, swollen with savage passion,
the drover knows eager buyers await
bis arrival. Beautiful women are
the money monopoly, the luxury of
the fat, fair complexioned, majestic,
longing, lazy Moor. Over excep>
tional beauty, cadis, pashas, minis
ters and merchants wage fierce
money strife before it is determined
10 whose embrace it shall be used
up
Thousands of both male aud female
children, from eight to ten years OF
age, are annually imported into the
Moorish markets. On the way many
of them die of a broken heart -
They are fattened prior to sale, and
are treated to music to cure home
sickness, it is said, and to give the
look of contentment-for the Moor
loves only the flesh. When worn
with care or sorrow, or old age
which comes at thirty--she is worth
less.
Maybe that CHASTITY wretch, with
toothless skull, now more like a
tends than a woman's face, once
smiled in a merchants face or wore
the costly necklace Of pasha.-
With used up pipes and slippers, she
has been cleared out to make room
for new ones. The Moor is hide,
GUS hot bed of sensuality. He be-
lieves in the bottom of bis heart that
in his relation toward women he was
created to be first a beast, then q
brute. Under the course of such a
character his land is a waste, his
manhood a ruin. With the Euro>
pean owes to the now attained creed
about.a woman, q glimpse at the sm-
pire of the Moor nay help us to con.

STOP, TAKE BREATH. SIR.

Stop a minute. Don't bury SO.
Move slower it may be you will
move surer. Grind, grind, grind;
ono everlasting grind from FIVE in
morning till ten at night, chasing
the bubble of human riches. What
is the need, pray tell me You all
ways have enough. and even moro
than you can use. You are heap
ing up wealth for others to waste, or
perhaps quarrel over when you are
dead. And half your heirs, instead
of recollecting you gratefully, will
contemplate your departure from
this hurrying scene with infinite sat-
isfac.ion. DO you rest awhile !
You are wearing out the vital forces
faster than there is need, and in this
way subtracting years from the sum
total of your life. This rush and
worry day by day, this restless anx-
iety after something you have not,
is like pebble stones in machinery
they CRATE and grind the life out of
you. You have useless burdens /;
throw them Off You have a great
load of needless care; dump it,
Pull in your strings. Compact your
business. Take time for thought of
better things. Go out into the air
and let Gods sun shine down on
your busy head, Stop grumbling,
fusOiug at adverse providences.-
You will probably never see much
better times than those in this dooms
ed world. Your most opportune
season is now; your happiest day is
to day. Calmly do your duty, and
lot God take care of his own world.
He is still alive and is the king. Do
not imagine that things will go to
everlasting smash when you disap-
pear from this mortal Stage. Don't
fancy that the curse of heaven, in
the shape of the vain tsak of right
ing up a disjointed ca h iq imposed
upon you. Cease to fret and fume,
cease to jump and worry early and
late. The good time is coming, but
you can never bring it; God can
and Twill. Take breath, sir. Sit
down and rest, and draw good,
long breath. Then go calmly at
the tasks of life, and do your work
we'll.

HOW HE GOT GOODS.

Flournoy Treadaway, up to some
three or four months ago, had been
cIerking for Stubs & Co., Of Cedar
town, and was thoroughly familiar
with the store house aud its contents.
For some time they have been miss
ing boxes of tobacco, sacks Of coffee,
bacon, and various articles Of dry
goods. bat no tangible suspicion fell
upon any one until last Monday. 1t
seems that some months since Tread
away went into merchandising by
himself on bis own account, and sold
goods very cheap. Well, last Sun.

be was going to New York via Att

until finally, two ran out of the shop,

CRIMINAL MATTERS.

SAN Francisco. March 20.-A Dallas,
Oregon, special says: Tuscon Langdon
and man in his employ named Harrison,
were arrested at Langdon's residence,
charged with killings A. FL. Crooks and s.
j. Jory, by posse of Citizens, and turned
over to the deputy sheriff. After reaching
the hotel, party of masked men over
powered the guard and shot Langdon dead.
Harrison was hanged to the trestle work OF
a bridge. None of the perpetrators have
been identified. Nothing has been ascer-
tanned to implicate Harrison in the murder
of Crooks and Jory, and his only offense
seems to have been that he was in Lang
don's employ.
COLUMBUS, Ohio, March 20.-Fred New
