PENNIES AT THE SOUTH.

In the long catalogue of southern
needs, says the Boston Advertiser. there
is one necessity, not often mentioned,
which the people Of the states below
Mason and Dixon's line are at last slow
ly beginning to recognize. The intro
duction of pennies would not put an end
to disquiet and an unreconciled frame of
mind, but it is urged that the con-
venience of the smallest coin, which the
north takes for granted and is almost un-
known at the sonth, would hasten the
era Of good feeling. The citizens of
Georgia are exhorted by the Atlanta Con-
stitution to be pioneers in q penny re-
form which shall sweep over the whole
south. Those familiar with that section
are aware that nothing in the form of
money below five cents is a circulating
medium among southerners. In buying
and selling there is certain lavishness
which wars against economy and thrift,
and all because there is no medium used
for narrowing the margin. For example:
In paying fares on the railroads the pas
senger has the advantage of the COM
pany in certain instances, for the corpor-
alton now loses the fraction below two
and half cents, although it gains the
fraction of q nickel above the dividing
point. The suggestion is made that the
circulation Of pennies would be brought
about by the railroad organizations,
under the direction of the railroad COM
mission, when they should charge ex-
sctly three cents q mile. Between two
stations eight miles apart the fare would
be twenty-four cents, and the company
would be required then TO return,
penny. In this way pennies would be car
ried not only to the towns but TO all the
villages along the line. The people could
not bedepended upon forconcerted action
in such matter, it is declared, and only
by the Interpretation Of large organixa-
tions, like the railroad companies, can
the bsne6t cf penny circulation be in
augurated. II is reported that many
people in influential quarters are op-
posed to the introduction of the humble
coin which we find indispensable. II
would seem as il long usage adverse to
apetty currency had come 10 be regard
ed as the equivalent Of an important
principle. The period Of recognition Of
pennies may be deferred In the south,
but it is likely to be 1t hand whom SOL
emn leading articles in widely circulated
papers are devoted TO the question. The
coinage OF one cent pieces in 1880 was
N.774. .l50. At the Philadelphia mint
the only mint whore minor coins are
struck--the demand for one cent coins IN
that year exceeded the capacity Of the
ofhcs, 80 far - concerns promptnsss In

OZONE.

Ozone, it has bsen found, depresses
the nervous system and induces sleep.
The drugs usually taken-chloride and
bromide Of potassium--ar positively
hurtful; but there is no unpleasant reac-
tion from ozone, for the sleep produced
is quite natural.
EAT MEAT.
Many butchers will thank DIR. Ham,
mond FOR this: "Eat plenty of we'll
cooked and nourishing food. The nerves
can not be kept healthy OF slops.
Gfuels, panadas and teas are well enough
in their way, but the nerves require for
their proper nourishment undiluted ami
NAL and vegetable food; as a rule the
former should predominate. Meat-eat-
ers are rarely troubled with nervousness.
Americans eat more vegetables than any
other well-to-do people, and they are
probably the most nervous nation on
the face of the earth"
MODERN ooNvKNIENcEs.
That eminent physician DIR. Frank II.
Hamilton delivered q lecture in New
York last week on the "Enemies of
Health, in which he dwelt ON the dan
gers of what are called "modern con-
veniences, and declared that no dwelling
house should have connection with n
sewer, and that the best houses now
built in New York we've SO constructed.
He also advocated big, open, fire-places,
or CRATES, instead of hot-air furnaces,
and went on to condemn a whole cata-
logue of habits and vices which were
sapping the strength Of the American
people.
REMEDY FOR LoCKJAw.
If any person is threatened OF taken
with lockjaw from injuries Of the arms,
legs, or feet, do not wait for doctor,
but put the part injured in the follow
ing preparation: Put hot wood ashes
into water as warm as can be borne; if
the injured part can not be put into
water, then wet thick folded cloths in
the water and apply them to the part as
soon as possible, and at the same time
bathe the backbone from the neck
down with some laxative stimulant-say
cayenne pepper and water, or mustard
and water (good vinegar is better than
water); it should be as hot as the patient
can bear it. Don't hesitate: go to work
and do it, and don't stop until the jaws
will come open. No person need die Of
lockjaw if these directions are followed.

A young chiid's bone. are soft and
sartilaginous, and keeping poor little
thing up against chair, when it ought
to be lying on its back kicking the air
and Strengthening its limbs, or crawling
on the nursery floor, is positively ipjuri-
GUS and sinful. 1t is done With the view
Of teaching it all the nouer to maintain
the erect attitude; but ben, legs may be
the result, and however strong bent
legged man may be, he csrtrinly does
not look elegant. Let the child creep,
then, and HI soon us he finds he can pull
himself mp, and stand by the side of a
box if be will do SO. This is the only safe
and natural process. Soon after this he
will, if encouraged, venture upon what
parents call the first step. Let him
creep, and when he walks and crawls
laugh at him. Unless you want to make
the child an idiot, do not rush to pull
him up. Children are not at all brittle,
and they ought TO learn at a very early
age to depend upon the strength Dature
has endowed them with. - Western

A shsrp lltt,e Bow.

Near Hackett City, Arkapsas, there
lives Q planter, Maj. j. K. Hale, who
has s0n about six years Of age. One
night during the first week in January
Of this year, three masked robbers enter
ed the house. and bursting into the
room where Maj. Hale was sitting with
his family, demanded his money. The
planter handed them his pocket-book,
but they told him that he hsd 81 100 hid
in trunk and that be must give them
the key. While Maj. Hale wss looking
for the key, the little boy crept mp 10
one Of the robbers, peeped under the
mask and said: Mr.. Willford, Why do
you want to steal my father's money 2"
The discovery 20 startled the robbers
that they dropped the pocket-book on
the door aud fed. On the following day
the robber named, who lived in tho
neighborhood, was arrested, and shortly
afterward the other robbers we're taken
10 jail also.

Serene Power.
IBey. Edward Judlnon, 1

One night, during the late war, the
army was encsmped in front Of the enc
my, when there was seen q cleaning
light among the trees in front OF the po-
sition. They thought il was the enemy's Q
camp fires and began firing with their
batteries upon the light. But soon the
moon rose up from behind the trees and
they had been directing their artillery
against the radiant queen OF night And
&C upon Christianity, infdelity rains its

Veto Of the Chinese Hill.

President Arthur brought the suspense con-
corning the fate Of the Chinese immigration
bill to a close on the ith inst, by sending
message TO the senate vetoing the measure.
The message is lengthy and thoroughly revises
the negotiations between the United States and
Chinese commissioners at the time the Bur-
lingame treaty was modified, aud also Analyses
the provisions Of the treaty as 1t exists at
present. The President states that he with
holds his signature from the bill, because, in
bis opinion, suspension Of immigration for 80
long time ss twenty years was not contem-
plated by the treaty commissioners and that
sdch restriction Is q violation Of the treaty OF
legation which declares that suspension, il con-
sidered necessary, should be for n reasonable
period. He also calls attention to the fact that
no provision is made In regard 10 the passage
through cur country OF Chinese subjects going
to or returning from other countries. He
also improves the opportunity to criticise
some other provisions, such as the registration
and passport system, which he considered
hostile to the spirit Of republican institutions.
Reference isimade to the advantages derived on
the Pacific coast in former years from Chinese
immigration and discrimination is advanced that
the tendency Of the bill in its present shape Is
to injure our commercial interests.

A 81. Louis special says: In Bars dry
goods store, the largest retail establish
mcnt In the city, at o'clock "wednesday
morning. the attention OF the fioor-walker
was attracted by the entrance OF two men,
both evidently greatly excited. Their
strange dcmeanor led him to advance to-
ward them. They were talking loudly
and he asked them why they did so. One
replied, .sThis man has been lying about
my wife and intend to shoot him" and
suiting the action to the word he drew a
pistol and fired. The ball missed its mark
and lodged in the ceiling. lie Immediately
fired again, missing his intended victim
second time, but hitting an innocent by
stander named johnson in the side OF the
head. lie tried to shoot again, but was
oyerpowered by several gentlemen, one Of
whom called policeman and had him ar
rested. The man who did the shooting Is
Joseph Il. Gull, n salesman for the whole
sale drv-goods house OF Leubcre d Co.
The other man Is also salesman, named
Thomas Carpening, and employed at the
dry-goods store of u. Nugent & Brother.
II appears that Carpening made ~taie-
mcnt to Gull in which he alleged that Mrs.
Gull was intimate with several young men
at the house where Gull and his wife
boarded. Upon Investigation Gull found
that these allegations were untrue. He
called at Nugent's store in the morning
and told Carpening that he must accompany
him to Bars store, where his wife was,
and apologize to her for what he had said:
This Carpening refused to do, when Gull
drew pistol and putting il to Carpening's
head compelled him TO go with him. Ar
irving at Barr's, Carpening attempted to
get away, when Gull fired as stated above.
The store was crowded with ladies' at
the time. The greatest excitement pre-
vailed. Johnson's wound is not consider
ed dangerous.
