A SLIGHT mishap occurred at the
Saw Mill on Wednesday, occasioned by
the saw striking horse shoe that had
been driven into the log by some
unknown person. The teeth were con
siderably damaged but under the skiIful

proper shape.

Mr.. AND MRS. MAUDE.
(The Cincinnati CommerciolJ

Mr.. and Mrs, Alwyn Maude gave
their entertainment last evening, Feb.
10th, at Melodeon Hail. The pro-
gramme presented was varied one,
and evidently pleasing to the large and
fashionable audience assembled. The
first part consisted of lecture on
English Society and Oscar Wilde and
the second, the two balcony and potion
scenes from "Romeo and Juliet and
a recitation from "Hamlet."
Of the lecture it can be said that the
subject matter is excellent, much of it
new, and written up in an entertaining
style. Occasionally Mr.. Maude gave
an epigrammatic sentence that was
worth remembering for its happy word
ing. Had the gentleman dwelt at
greater length on Morris, Bune Jones,
Rosetti and othea of the Pre-Raphaelte
celebrities, the matter of his lecture
would have been fresher and more
pleasing.
Also, if Mr.. Maude had grouped his
experience around more central and
comprehensive observations, the lecture
would have acquired greater strength by
the treatment. That Mr. Maude had
thoughtful observations to make he
proved, especially towards the end of
his lecture

Place aar dameSI AS predicted,
Mrs Maude looked the beautiful woman
she is as Juliet, and showed good con-
ception of the idea in the rendering of
her lines her voice is capable of ex-
cellent things, and those two essentials
Of good looks and fine voice are excellent
starts for q d66Mante before any public.
Mr.. Maude has an imposing stage
appearance, gentlomanly movementsand
a voice and intelligence of possibilities.
His rendering of the soliloqny from
" Hamlet" was well rendered and we'll
received.

QUEEN.

A BRITISH CRANK SHOOTS AT THE
QUEEN.
Windsor, England, March 2.-As
the queen was entering her carriage
this evening, man in the station yard
deliberately fired pistol at her. The
man, who was miserable-looking OBJ
ject, was Immediately seized by several
policeman and taken TO the station.
No one was hurt. The man gave his
name as Roderick MacLean. The
queen drove off to her castle imme-
diately after she was fired at. The
miscreant was followed to the police
station by a large crowd of people,
from whom he was rescued with diff
Guilty. The queen arrived at Windsor
at about Sis p. m. She had been in
London since Tuesday, where she
gave a drawing-room reception on
Wednesday in honor of Princess Hele-
ma, of Waeldeck, who is to marry the
Prince LIE, pold. A crowd of people
assembled at Buckingham palace this
morning in hopes that the queen would
drive out The demeanor of the peo-
pie was as usual.
There was large crowd of specta-
tors awaiting the queens arrival at the
Windsor. The queen walked across
the platform of the railway station to
her carriage, which waiting to take her
to the castle, John Brown had already
assembled to his seat behind the car
rage, when man standing at the en-
trance to the station yard among a
number of spectators, pointed a pistol
at the carriage and fired. To judge
from the report the pistol was not
heavily loaded. The queen, who was
probably not aware what had hap
pened, was Immediately driven to the
castle, but before she passed the man
had been seized by Captain of Bor-
ough, of the police, who was standing
near by. He was violently used by
the crowd, and was only rescued from
them when three or four policemen

How Schwarz Failed to Get to the
Wedding.

Mr.. B. Schwarz, (uncle to good many peo-
ple), and friend of the LIGHT. made arrange
ments to attend with his family the wedding of
a neice at New Brauntels, which event took
place some weeks ago, just on the day of the
adjournment of the Odd Fellows grand lodge.
Mr.. S. and family were full of the anticipation
of the pleasure of the trip by rail to New
Braunfels, and especially upon an occasion of
so much happiness. To be certain of catching
the train Mr.. S. employed hack to call for
him. on the southwest corner of Military plaza.
A door or"two from Mr.. S. house is board
ing house, at which three Odd Fellows were
sojourning, and were to leave on the same
morning of the wedding day. The hack drove
up and the driver was accosted by the anxious
Odd Fellows; the driver replied, am ordered
here for three passengers; all right said the
Odd Fellows, there are three of us, and SO
they got in and drove to the depot. Mr.. S.
waited, and waited in vain, no carriage came,
and at last the train time passed and he found
that if he went to the wedding he must 60 by
another route, so with his usual energy he
took private conveyance and tried to reach
New Braunfels, but alas, arrived after the
ceremony.
Now, of course, all of Mr.. SIS acquaint-
ances will understand how quietly and gently,
and good naturally, he took his disappoint-
ment. There is some talk of having him hung
in place of Haman, at the Purim, as it is esti-
mated that he has taken the name of the Lord
in vain enough to drive the entire Jewish race
from America to Russia.

Advice TO Young Writers.

William Cullen Byrant once gave the
| following sensible advice to young
man who had offered him an article fol
his paper:
!" Ny young friend, l observe that
you have used several French expires
sions in your letter. I think, if you
will study the English language, that
you will find it capable ofexpressing all
the ideas that you may have. / have
always found it so, and in all that
[ have written, l do not recall
an instance where | was tempted
to use foreign word but that
on searching / have found a better one
in my own language. Be simple, UNI
affected be honest in your speaking and
writing. Never use long word when
short one will do as well. Call a
spade by its name, not well known
oblong instrument of manual labor ;
let home be Il home, and not resi-
dence; a place, not a locality, and 50 on
of the rest When a short word will
not do, you always lose by long one.
You lose in clearness you lose in hon
est expression and in the estimation
of all men who are capable of judging
you lose in reputation for ability. The
only true way to shine, even in
this false world, is to be modest
and unassuming. Falsehood may be
thick crust. but in the course of
time truth will find 4 place to break
through Elegance of language may
not be in the power of US all. but sim
plieity and straightforwardness are.
Write much as you would speak, and as
you think. If with your inferior, speak
no courser than usual if with your sil-
perior, speak no finer. BE you what you
say, and within the rules of prudence.
No one was ever a gamer by singularity
ofwords or in pronunciation. The truly
wise man will so speak that no one will
observe how he speaks. A man may
show great knowledge of chemistry by
carrying bladders of strange gases to
breathe, but one will enjoy better
health and find more time for business
who lives on common air.
Sidney Smith once remarked After
you have written an article, take your
pen and strike out half the words, and
you will be surprised TO see how much
stronger it is. +"

The Grandeur of Woman.

When you want to get the grandest
idea of queen, you do not think of
Catherine of Russia, or of Anne of
England, or of Marie Theresa of Ger
many but when you want to get your
grandest idea of queen, you think of
the plain woman who sat opposite your
father at the table, or walked with him
arm-in-arm down life's pathway; some
times to the thanksgiving banquet,
sometimes to the grave, but always to-
gether-soothing your petty griefs, cor
recting your childish waywardness,
joining in your infantile sports, listening
to your evening prayers, toiling for
you with needle, or at the spinning
wheel, and on cold nights wrapping you
up snug and warm And then, at last,
on that day when she lay in the back
room dying, and you saw her take those
thin hands with which she toiled for you
go long, and put them together in a dy-
ing prayer that commended you to the
God whom she had taught you to trust
oh, she was the queen! The ehariots
of God came down to fetch her; and as
she went in, all heaven rose up.
You cannot think of her now without
a rush of tenderness that stirs the deep
foundations of your soul, and you feel
as much child again as when you cried
on her lap; and if you could bring her
back again to speak once more your
name, as tenderly as she used to speak
it, you would be willing to throw your
self on the ground and kiss the sod that
covers her, crying Mother, mother !"
Ali she was the queen-she was the
queen. Now, can you tell me how
many thousand miles woman like that
would have to travel down before she
got to the ballot-box? ? Compared with
this work of training kings and queens
for God and eternity, how Insignificant
seems all this work of voting for Alder
men and Common Councilmen, and
Sheriffs and Constables, and Mayors,
and Presidents To make one such
grand woman as / have described, how
many thousand would you want of those
people who go in the round of fashion
and dissipation, distorting their body
until in their monstrosities they seem to
outdo the dromedary and hippopotamus!

IS they dare 60, so as not to be arrested
by the police-their behavior a sorrow
to the good and caricature to the
vicious, and an insult to that God who

oIous and dissipated life, to temporal
and eternal damnation.--Dr Talmage,

rhe Most Important Of All.

yicksburg Herald: The most impor-
rant question before the Southern peo-
ple is the Tariff 1t will, in all proba-
biIitv. come up for revision in Congress,
and the cotton States should be a unit
for tariff for revenue only. II they
are. the fight will be gained, and mil
lions and millions of dollars saved an
pually TO our people. The cotton States
alone cannot gain this great boon, but
if they are united they will secure
enough aid in the North and West, and
in the great city of New York, to con-
troll Congress on this vital question.
Taking into consideration the import
ance Of this question, one would think
our people would be alive to It, and
insist on knowing the tariff views of all
candidates for Congress. But such is
not the case. With the exception of
Major Barksdale, who, We are glad to
say, is outspoken for tariff for revenue
only, we have not heard one expression
from the candidates. All the interest
Is just where it has always been in our
section in sentiment. In Districts
where there are Independents there is
great excitement, but not about ques-
tions of material benefit to the people.
We do trust the voters viii make |
all candidates, Democrats, Republicans
or Independents, express themselves
fully, and if they are not in favor of
taking the unjust, burdensome tariff
load off the agricultural interests of the
country, beat them.

Our Present Tariff.

Our present tariff laws are an abomi-
nation and a stencil in the nostrils OF
all honest men. They are so complex,
bungling and conflicting that there are
now pending in the Federal courts
of the country more than forty thou
sand suits brought, some by the
Government against importers to recov-
er duties claimed to have been uncol-
lscted by the custom officers, and some
by the importers to recover back from
the Government alleged excesses of du-
ties exacted at the custom thouse and
paid under protest.
Such is the chaotic condition and the
minute and stupid refinement of the
statutes, that the oldest importers and
the most expert collectors of customs
are alike at fault as to what they mean,
and lawyers and judges are equally un-
able to interpret them. The whole abb
surd, oppressive and unjust system
should be swept away, and a simple va
lorem tariff erected, having for its one
sole and single purpose the raising of
just enough money to defray the expen-
ses of a government economi admin
istered.

A beautiful painting has been dis.
covered in the ruins of, Pompeii, repre-
senting the Judgment of Solomon. 1t
is said TO be the first picture on Sacred
subject that has been discovered in the
buried cities. A correspondent, deserib-
ing the picture, says "On dais sits
a king holding sceptre and robed in
white. On each side of him sits a
councillor, and behind them six soldiers
under arms. The king is lean
ing over the front of the dais
toward a woman in a green robe,
who kneels before him with disheveled
hair and outstretched hands. 10 the
centre isssa three-legged table. like a
butchers block, upon which lies an in
fant, who is held in recumbent posi-
ton, in spite of his struggles, by a
woman wearing a turban. A soldier in
armor, and wearing a helmet with a
long red plume, holds the legs of the
infant, and is about to cleave it in two
With his falchion. The agony Of the
kneeling mother, the attention of the
listening king, and the triumph of the
second woman, who gloats over the d.
vision of the child, are all manifest.
