Fighting for a Dime.

The prize fight fever has extended
to Central Point,and though the stake
was not so large as that fought for by
the champions, the fun was as great.
A muscular young negro boosted Sat
urday night that he could whip any
mar about the Point for a dime, and
the challenge was accepted by John
McGown. 1t soon became evident to
Green that he had tackled the wrong
man, but rather than be whipped he
drew a pistol and fred at McGown,
happily missing him. His next move
ment was to create space between
himself and the scene of the conflict
and he lost no time. Officers Condor
and Mcfarland called at his house
later, but found the gate locked. AS
they were about to spring over the
fence William Green, a brother ofthe
prize fighter, sprang out Of the door,
and a SHOT fired in the air failed to
bring him to-.

A Victory fer Express Com
panies.


Cincinnati Commercially
Justice Miller, Of the United States
Supreme Court, has just delivered an
importont opinion in the suits OF the
express companies VS.. the railroad
companies. which we're argued at st.
Louis ten days ago before Mr.. Justice
Miller and judges McCrary and Trent.
The suits were five in number, name,
", Adams Express Company VS.. Den
yer & Rio Grande railroad; same VS.,
Atchinson, Topeka & Santa Fe rail
road; same VS.. Missouri, Kansas &
Texas railroad; and Southern Express
Company VS.. st. Louis, Iron Mountain
q Southern railroad, and Memphis &
Little Rock railroad, and the main
issue involved was the right
of the express companies to
do business as such on a
railroad. The railroad companies had
sought to exclude the express COM
panies and appropriate to themselves
the entire business ofexpress carriage,
from which act, however, they were
restrained by the United States Dis.
trio Courts. The opinion Of Justice
Miller is based upon the general prin-
ciples involved in the suit, and is in
favor Of the express companies declar-
ing that the railroads cannot discrim'
mate in the matter Of transportation,
nor can they monopolize to them
selves the business called the express
business, which has grown into Q
separate and distinct industry, and
they must accord to the express com
panies all needful railway facilities
upon the payment Of a just and reas'
enable compensation therefor.

HEALTH HINTS.


Nothing furnishes less brain food than
beef.
No two persons should habitually
sleep together.
A delicate stomach should not take
fruit and vegetables at the same meal.
No man or woman lives rightly whose
spirit is controlled by bodily appe-
tites.
There is no physical happiness which
can come to mortals like that of perfect
health.
To remove warts wash them with moist
washing soda and let them dry without
wiping; do this two or three times
day.
A good remedy for blistered feet from
long walking is to rub the feet at going
to bed with spirits mixed with tallow
dropped from lighted candle into the
palm of the hand.
Arsenic poisoning is not always to be
traced to green coloring. One case was
due to red wall paper, and the substance
is found abundantly in white, blue.

A Texas ClOud-B Burst,

Captain Merril's corps of engineers
and assistants were camped in the val
ley OF Buck creek, in Childers county,
Texas Their tents were set one hun
dred feet from the dry bed of the creek.
This creek vas about twelve feet
deep from the level of the
valley on either side of the bank. The
valley is nearly mile wide, but the
high lands curved in close to the place
where the camp was pitched, and the
valley widened on the opposite bank.
The night was clear, and no cloud in
the distance betokened rainfall. The
boys staked their ponies near by, turned
their mules loose and laid them down
to sleep in their tents. About mid
night one of the boys felt water at his
feet. Springing up he saw the water
coming, and yelling like savage giving
his war-whoop, reused his companions.
In less than a minute they were all
standing in water up to their waists.
Knowing to which side of them
was the hill, they rushed wildly
through the water and succeeded
in gaining a safe foothold. The
water rushed by them, covering the en-
tire valley to a depth of six feet, and
carrying away all the tents and baggage.
The pony was saved by one of the boys
cutting the stake-rope as he passed him,
he fortunately having gone to bed with
his pants on. Most of the boys were in
their night clothes, and a solemn set
they were. The sudden rise of water
was undoubtedly caused by what is
known as cloudburst on the head
of the stream, some twenty or thirty
miles away. Any number of cattle were
carried down stream, but most of them
finally escaped.

Cotton Seed Oil.

The gourmand who carefully makes
up his own dish of cool-looking salad,
says an exchange, is very apt to be de-
ceived into believing that the rich gold
colored oil he pours upon it is from the
land of olives. 1t is an almost even
chance that it is from the land of cotton,
for the sale of cotton seed oil for olive oil
has become so extensive that the Ital-
ian government has begun to take
strong measures toward keeping the
former product out of Italy, where it is
taken in Italian vessels from New Or
leans, to be bottled and labeled, and
returned to this country, so that mer-
chants can say it is Imported. But, to
those who dread the substitution
of cotton seed oil tor olive oil,
there is comfort in the fact that the
supply of the native product is limited,
for planters whose lands are thin prefer
to return the seed to them, and the cot
ton lands of the lower Mississippi, which
do not need careful fertilizing, fur
nish the seed for the seventy cotton
seed oil mills in the South.
This enterprise is bound to remain
confined to the South, for the seed is
so bulky that transportation would not
be profitable. That the manufacture OF
cotton seed oil, however, will increase
is beyond doubt, as the raw seed goes
through processes that nearly triple its
value, and its oil is being used for paint
aud alfQ Ton iu4rlc2il machinery,

"Oan you not answer me, Gwendo-
len ?"
Up from the meadows the soft breezes
of perfect June evening were waiting
the faint perfume of the cowslip and
dead horse; and as George W. Simpson
and Gwendolen Mahaffy stood near the
gate, whose decrepit appearance told
with more eloquence than could mere
words of the deathless passion that en-
shaved their souls, both felt that crisis
in their lives had arrived-a moment
had come which would in the misty
future that stretched away before
them, like one of William M. Evartg
letters, be either a bright beacon of
hope and Joy to look back upon
with gladness, or de5olate landmark
like the lightning -riven trees that one
never beholds without feeling of sad
ness. Secure in the consciousness of
his own merit-that sterling merit
which always lies in strong arm, clear
brain and large feet-and yet with a
modest difidence concerning his own
worth, the young man stood there in
the cleaning with half-reluctant cat
on-the. back. fence expression that lent
an added beauty to his pure young
face, and made more pleadingly tender
the earnest father-is-coming-up-th
front-steps look with which he regarded
the beautiful girl who stood by his side.
He had asked her to be his wife
to leave parents, sisters, brothers,
and all the endearing influences
of happy home, where
two girls are kept, and go out with him
into the wide world as helpmeet and
companion. He had told, in fevered
sentences, of the great love he bore
her, love that would ever be the guild
ing star of his life, he said. cheering
him when the black clouds of adversely
and despair hung heavily in the horizon
of his hopes, and without which his
whole existence would be one arid,
trackless waste on which lay the whited
skeletons of Ambition and Hope
CHASTITY remnants of life whose final
wreck was all the more sad because of
the happiness which it might have held
had Love not flown away with mecking
laugh when pleaded so passionately.
when it came to ornamental lying,
with two rows Of futing up the back,
George took first money.
Gwendolen had stood in graceful
poise as he spoke, one ear thrown
slightly forward, and her right foot COW
ering the door-mat, and now that he
had finished, was looking down in
maiden shyness, while the rosy bushes
that chased each other under her daz-
zling complexion would have told, if
anybody could have seen them, OF the
emotions that were agitating her young
soul. But no words came from her
lips-those rosy-ripe portals that opened
with such languid grace when
there was a pie in the house-and
George began to fear that perhaps he
had talked her to sleep. Presently
however, she drew quite close to him,
put her hand in his, and, resting her
cheek upon his shoulder, she said:
yes, George, will marry you"
"But when p asked the young man,
horrible fear that his bluff was to be
called chilling his very blood.

The Future of Alaska.

Lieutenant Wood says in the Century:
With a comparatively mild climate
throughout the archipelago, with most
valuable building timber covering
the islands, with cedar that now sells
at $3.50 thousand feet in Sitka, with
splendid harbors, with inexhsustible
fisheries, with an abundance OF coal,
and the probability that veins OF cop
per, lead, silver and gold await the
prospeotor, with the possibility of rails
ing sufficient garden vegetables and
with wild cranberry swamps on nearly
every island with all these advantages
it is surprising that an industrious, ann
phibious, shipbuilding, fishing colony
from New England or other States has
not established itself in Alaska. One
drawback is that Congress has not YET
organized territorial government, but
when this region shall have been
opened up to individual enterprise ana
settlement it will then be discovered
that Alaska is valuable possession
