The HIP POCKET NORTH,

1t requires a good deal of cheek in
Northern paper to talk about the
hip pocket nuisance 10 the South.
A New York correspondent is can
did eoough to say: We hear great
deal about the free use of the pistol
10 the South, but it certainly is free
enough in New York, too, No tai,
lor thinks of making pair of trou
sers without putting 10 a hip peck
e: for a revolver. Business men
keep loaded pistols 10 their Office
desks, carry them 10 the streets, and
often have them in their pockets at
meals or 10 their parlors. Women
keep them in their rooms, and fire.
quent talk of their readiness to use
them. There are women 10 New
York, even in the so called best cir>
cles, who consider it as proper to
have a revolver at hand as others
do to make baby of snarliEg ten
cent poodle. But it is no use max :
ing a catalogue of the people who
always either carry loaded pistols
or have them on hand. | take it
that half of them are fools. They
have no more use for fire arms than
bear has for seal skin overcoat
in summer. But il seems they can't
be broken of the habit. The daily
lesson of Danger are thrown away
upon them. They pay no attention
to lt ctures on the subject, even when
they are emphasized by shots, acct
dental and otherwise, which make
work for coroners. The right to
bear arms is all very we'll, but il
certainly never was meant as Ii
censo for going about with facilities
for wholesale killing in ones peck ct
or setting up an arsenel in q bed
room.

DANGEROUS CLASSES.

A good deal Of brain power is be
ing wickedly wasted in devising
ways aud means for tho destruction
of the powerful and wealthy The
faint of nihIism, socialism aud com
muuism has reached this country,
and it will not be- long before our
Government will find il necessary to
resort to severe and decisive meas
ures 10 dealing with the dangerous
classes. The following item from the
New York Sun shows how the poi
son of the new doctrine is working
in certain classes of our population:
Boston possesses tobaccooist who
has conceived plan for the whole =
sale killing off of wealthy idlers. He
says: Did you ever see a working
man smoking cigaretteY OF
course not. Cigarettes are smoked
exclusively by wealthy chaps. Now,

what it was that hinted at. I'm a

ry where 100000 cigarettes are
rolled every day. More than twenty
men among US are Socialists. What
would be easier than for us to put a
deadly poison into a whole days

go thousands upon thousands of our
oppressors ut puff. Here and
there a good enough man would fall,
but the great majority would be the
kind that hurt us, and the kind that
the world would be happy rid Of

about anarchy-and mighty soon

JONES. OF NEVADA.

Washington Letter to Boston Traveller.
A gentleman here tells story of
how Senator Jones, of Nevada, made
the foundation of his immense for4
tune. Through some chance man
named Haywood, who, by the way,
was Vermonter, became the assos
ciate of Jones in a mining camp.
Haywood had claim on the moun-
tain side which for long time did
not seem to amount to much One
day he came to Jones and said that
be was broke, and wanted to Dor,
row 81 600, promising to make both
their fortunes. Jones said that there
were thousand men in the mines
who were 10 exactly the same fix,

upon the condition that be should
ask no more. Said Jones 4 will

ed by, when one evening Haywood
burst into Jones' cabin perfectly
wild with excitement, and told hin
that be had struck the richest ven
that he had ever seen. Both men
ran to the claim, and sure enough
Hay wood had struck an immense
bonanza or pocket of almost pure
gold. They sent for Eugene Kelly,
at San Francisco, the greatest min-
ing expert of the Pacific Slope, and
he at once pronounced it the richest
mine in California This nine was
afterwards named the New kmador,
and is called the richest gold mine
10 the world Then Hay sold
bis property to Wells, Fargo and
other capitalists for So 900 900, aud
on the day of the sale be gave Jones
$1,250,OO0. But this was not all
one would have thought jones would

wasn't, and he afterward quietly in
timated to Haywood that be would

A THIBVING COOK.

One reason why living in the
South ia so costly will be seen by
reading the following sample item
from the Griffin News. 1t is not en-
extreme case-it is a rule to which
there is hardly an exception: "For
some time past Mr.. and Mrs W w.
Woodruff, Jr., who reside at the
Woodruff farm, have been missing
various small articles, and on Satur
day they had search warrant t@ker
out, and Baiiff r. f. M Mann
searched the house of their negro
cock, Linda Matilda Webb, and
found the following articles secreted
about her place: One jar of sugar,
four pounds Of meat, three bottles OF
three year old brandy, fifteen pounds
of flour, one cigar box of coffee, four
eggs, one half pound of tea, three
napkins, one towel, one box Of corn
starch, one flannel, two wine glasses,
one yellow bowl, three tea cups, one
Jelly stand. Some silverware was
also missing, bat has not yet been
found. Linda Matilda was drunk iu
bed, but was taken out and put in
Jail. Her trial came off yesterday.
There is no doubt many people are
robbed 10 the same way by these
unprincipled colored cooks.

THE BROOKLYN BRIDGE.

The great Brooklyn bridge was
first estimated by John A Roebling
to cost So 600 600 The actual cost
has run up to 100000 in round
figures. The first work was done 10
January, 1870, so the actual labor
on the bridge has occupied twelve
years and four months. All has
been done under the direction of
COL Washington Roebliog, his faith
er having died the year before it
was commenced The height of the
tower is 27l feet, the height Of the
main span at the middle of the river
is 1875 feet, the length of the main
span is 1896 feet, the total length
of the bridge is 3, $3.50 feet, the total
length of wire used is over IA 900
miles, the weight of the four cables
is 3,506 tons, and the sustaining
power of each is 12,200 tons, or
As, 900 tons fo~ all. The cables are
believed to be good for a hundred
years at least, so very few New
Workers aud BrookIy nites of to day
need worry about the bridge break
ing down 10 their time anyway.

The Columbus san says there
was an occurrence 10 North Liberties
yesterday which beyond doubt has
40 parallel in any known history
While John Daniel, or Hughes, a
negro, better known as Pop. Eyed
John" was walking along the sreet,
his right eye popped out and fell
down on his cheek. 1t hung there
for several minutes, and John was
frightened out of his wits from fear
that be had lost bis eye. He laid
upon the ground and gave vent to
his grief in loud groans, and while
be was struggling around the eye
quietly resumed its position 10 the
socket, and to Johns great surprise
and happiness, he could see from it
as vel as ever. The gentleman
reported the occurrence to US says
that it was witnessed by seventy>Eve
or eighty people.

KILLED BY A Make BITE

Reading PA } Special, eth.
The awful death of a young man

Meckville, this county. Four weeks

years, was at work in the woods. -
While removing timber be felt a
sharp singing pain in his left baud,
but psid no attention to it at first.
In. few days, however, the arm
began swelling, and finally the entire
body became swollen and very much
iuhamed 1t was then believed that
snake had bitten him, although the
early season did not warrant such
belief. Strsuse became very i'll and
his body was peculiarly colored.
The poison had terrible effect on
him. He had been perfectly healthy,
yet in few weeks his teeth dropped
out and he became nearly blind. -
Medical aid could afford no relief.
His eyes were fixed and jaws set ;
he was unable to take any food or
water; owing to the gaogrenous con
dilion of bis throat, and he died in
spasms. 1t is believed that either a
black spider or a copperhead snake

Peace spreads Her white Wings.

WASHINGTON, May 27.-Senor Co
dori, Gillian minister, has advices
from his government, via the Next
can legation at Paris, announcing the
ratification of the treaty of peace be-
tween Chilli and Peru. His adviceS
state that Gen. IgleSias, who. signed
the treaty in behalf of Peru, is ac-
knowledged in the whole of northern
and central Peru. The terms
of the treaty include ceSsion to
Chilli for ten years of the provinces of
Taropaco africa and Tacna. A pro-
vision is made that on the expiration
of that time the question as to whom
shall the ceded territory thereafter
belong shall be submitted to popular
vote. The people of the coun-
try to whom the territory is voted to
pay the other 100000 before ac-
quiring possession. Senior Godori says
northern and central Peru, which
have acknowledged Iglesias, consti-
tutes about five-sixth of the whole
territory of Peru, and include the
capital Lima and principal seaport
Callao. He says also that
the treaty provides for occupation by
Chill of the ceded territory during the
ten years covered by the terms of the
cession, and in all probability the
Gillian army of occupation now in
Lima will remain until the Peruvian
government is fully organized and
order entirely restored. Senior Godori
states that the terms of the treaty
were arranged by the Gillian
plenipoteniary and Gen. Iglesias' rep
resentatives at Lima and forwarded
to Gen. Iglesias in northern Peru
Having been signed by him, the
treaty was returned to Lima and
from there sent to Santiago, where
it was ratified by the Gillian govern
ment, who, on the oath inst. promul-
gated the terms.
