& A MISPLACED PLASTER.

"Wbat's the matter. Invalid?" in
quired Patience, alarmed, as she
furriedly awoke him. Aa
"A bull had me in the corner of the
fence groaned he. a4.
He was in great suffering, and she
opened the medicine chest, got out
materials for mustard plaster, and
little spirit lamp to heat it with,
and went to the end of the car to
prepare it. 5sea aAfss a3a
MAKE it hot and strong,n muttered
he, with great restraint preventing
himself from crying out with the
pain.
His wife, with the plaster all ready,
soon came back softly, SO as not to
awaken anyone The car was dark
ened, and all the sections looked
alike, and, for a moment she was
confused, but q smothered snore,
which sounded like groan, near at
hand, assured her. She quickly drew
aside the curtain and clapped the
poultice son the spot. it would do the
most good" The invalid just, then
poked his head out, little further
down the aisle, and, in smothered
tones, called, "Quick. Patience,
quiekr'
She gave only one leap, like shot
fawn, into his section, drew the cur
tain, and nearly swooned away.
s"Great Scott! what's the 1natter?'
whispered he. t-
She managed somehow to gasp out
what she had done, and, presto, the
Invalid was cured; for he shook up
his whole interior organization SC
hard in the effort to restrain big
guffaw, that he actually scared the
pain away.
THAT man, whoever he is, will be
boiling, piping hot pretty soon," was
his sole comment.
In about fifteen minutes the still
ness of that car was broken bya volley
of shrieks that raised the hair on the
head of every one.
The whole atmosphere seemed tc

Two pretty girls were walking

lady younger than his youngest
daughter. is, employing term whose
politeness may be doubted but
whose truth is pre- eminent, a pita-
bic fool. Judge Boggle, a gentle-
man whose wisdom as a iurist has
received attention in the highest
halls of legal learning, and who for
many years had been one of the
leading lawyers in Arkansaw, be-
came devotedly attached to young
Miss Soppleton. His wife had been
dead several years. and the once
broad band of Grape on his hat
looked like a shoe string when lie
took it off. He spent so much time
in the arrangement of his person,
that many of the linesA drawn by
seventy years were covered up. Miss
Soppleton was q very intelligent
young lady, and she listened with
close attention to the judges leyity,
a wit which often dies in middle life
and returns with old age, seeming the
brighter for its long rest. He had
very nearly succeeded but for an un-
fortunate mistake made the. other

The Judge laughed and replied:

BUSINESS MAxIMS.

A prominent merchant has com
piled the following maxims from his
own inquiry and experience:
1st. Choose the kind Of business
you understand ,,,sl
I'd. Capital is positively required
in business, even if you have real es-
tate outside and credit ever 50 good
3D.. One kind OF business is as
much as o man can manage success
fully. Investments On the outside do
not generally pay, especially'if you
require the money in your business.
4th. Buycadtiously and just what
You want, aud do not be persuaded to
purchase what you do not need; il
you do, you viii sooh want what yoli
can't buy ' a H.,
9Th. Insure your stock; insure
your store; insure your dwelling, II
yon have one. If the rate is high it
is only because the risk is great, and
of course you should, not take the
risk yourself. A business that will
not pay for insuringawill not justify
running. .. .,..,.. ~.., gr.,,.
9th. Sell to good responsible Par.
tios.only. Sell on specified time, and
when your money due, demand it;
do not let the account stand without
note or interest for an indefinite
period =.
7th. Sell at a reasonable profit
and never misrepresent to effect q
sale. 1.i
Sth. Live within your incomes
keep your business to yourself; have
patience, and you will succeed.
9th. Competition is the life oi
trade, but in trying to run your com
petitor out of business, be, careful you
do not rnn yourself out

Malone and the Democrats,

The English people never talk intelli-
gently about affairs in this country be-
cause they will never take the trouble to
inform themselves in the premises. SO the
northern people and Journals treat the
South-they never trouble themselves to
learn enough about us to enable them to
write intelligently concerning our party
matters. For example, the Philadelphia
telegraph, the fairest OF all the independ-
cnt Republican papers, has the following
foolish paragraph:
"The outcome OF the Democratic State
Convention in Virginia is not regarded as
wholly satisfactory by the party at large.
The absurdity Of denouncing Malone and
adopting his policy in the same platform
is so apparent that even the Bourbons can
not ignore it,
What part Of "MABoNE's policy" is
.sadopted" in the Democratic platform
Read the MAlNoNE papers and see. That
terrible indictment OF MAHoNE's party
must have escaped the notice Of the Tele-
orqph. Let us run over it. The first reso'
luton declares against any increase OF tax
alton. The second .'accepts as final" :
settlement OF the debt pronounced consti
tutional by the Supreme Court OF the United
States. What would you have? Ough
the Democrats to have denounced that de-
cislon? The third resolution declares fol
the repeal Of all internal taxes. Is that I
MALONE measured The fourth is the Ohio
resolution on the tariff. Is that MAHoNE's,
Hardly. See how his organs talk about it
The fifth claims for the Democratic part,
the credit OF having founded and organized
the public schools, aud originated ever,
law which secures their efficiency. Is thai
MAnoNE plank The sixth declares for
white trustees for white schools and negro
trustees for negro schools. Whyf BE.
cause the MALONE School Board had put
negro trustees over white schools. Is that
MALONE plankf The seventh resolution
declares for economy In all the branches of
the Governments, State and Federal. Is
that MALONE plank? The eighth declares
Tor civil-seryice reform. Even the Tsle-
graph would laugh to scorn the statement
That MALONE was civil-seryice reformer.
The ninth denounces bossism. Is that a
MALONE plank
Surely the Telegraph must open its eyes
to the absurdity OF the charge which il and
so many other uniformed northern papers
have brought against the Virginia Demo-
Gratis. II IL has any doubt as to whether
the rest OF the Virginia Democratic plat
form is a MALONE document or not, we beg
II TO read the following Indictment. We
arc eonddCnt that neither the Telegraph,
nor any other northern journal which has
charged The Democrats OF Virginia with
having adopted MAHoSE's policy, has ever
read the platform OF whose planks they
thus manifest such total ignorance.
WIN the Telegraph please tell us how
much Of Mahoneism 1t can find In the io;.

LOUISIANA AND TUE TARlFF.-United
States Senator JONAS, OF Louisiana, was IN
teryiewed in New York on Wednesday by
a reporter for the World. We quote few
lines OF the report:
REPORTER: "What are your views on
the tariff question, SENATOR"
SENATOR JONAS: 81 think that on this
question | may venture to speak for my
State, without distinction OF party. We
desire TO be let alone; we don't think that
a further reduction OF duty would be
wise: we are confident that, so far rs we
are concerned, we cannot stand it. The
sugar production OF Louisiana, II not too
heavily handicapped, will in future rival
its cotton product in importation. As you
ale no doubt aware, the last Congress re-
duced the duty on sugar so per cent; that,
we Think, is all that we can stand. Our
sugar-manufacturers have all to compete
with the free product of the Sandwich
Islands, and with the coolie and slave labor
of Cuba. Less protection than we now
have, we think, would be to our disadvan-
tage. / don't, however, think that the
tariff issue will be made a main question
in the next campaign, although j have no
doubt but that our opponents will endeayor
to make that an issue, but think that they

To the suggestion Of DR.. Wheat that |

have been performed. never thought
myself justified by anything he ever said
