Washington Post, Sept. 8.
In answer to the following tele-
gram, Detective Cox was at the
Baltimore and Potomac depot
when the train came in from Vir-
ginia about O'Clock last evening:
q" Have policeman at Baltimore
Potomac Railroad depot to arrest
party on train 81. Signed W. I.
Farrar.n A tall, handsome. dark
complexioned young gentleman
about twenty, of a marked South
srn mien, got offthe train, follow
ed by four big negro men. One of
the negroes sought out the detec-
tive and introduced himself as
Farrar, who had sent the telegram
and said he wanted him to arrest
the young man; that he had as
saulted him on the train near
Charlottesville Va. Without fur
ther ado Detective Cox put the
young man under arrest and took
him to Police headquarters where
he gave the name of ii. M. Sharp
of Mississippi. Cox telephoned
for Judge Mills and prepared to
have the case tried at once; and a
Post reporter, who happened to
be present, went to see some OF
the passengers who had come in
on the Potomac train to get the
particulars of the affair, which
Detective Cox explained to be q
"civil rights case, and therefore
within the jurisdiction of the Dis
trict, though the offence was com
mitted in Virginia. A gentleman
acquainted with the facts in the
lease said that a little difficulty had
occurred on the train near Char
lottesville Va, and young SharI
had given the negro Farrar, a Sc
we're thrashing for insulting lad,
on the train. The car was crowd
ed, and a number Of passenger
had to stand, among whom was a
young lady accompanied by al
elderly gentleman. Mr.. Sharl
was standing also. Seated near by
we're four negro men who dogged
" refused when the conducto
asked them to let the ladies have
seats. Finally two of the negroe
went into the smoking car, leavin
the seats vacant, and the youn
, lady started to sit down, when th
negro, Farrar, who occupied al
other seat jumped up and seizin
the lady roughly by the arm dra'
! cd her from the cat. This WI
t moro than Mr.. Sharp could 81

:. him down and beat him sensele'
: with the butt Of pistol befo
r anyone could interfere. From tn
r followed the telegram and the a
rest. Mr.. Sharp is a slender, de
cately built young man, and won
not weigh over a hundred al

Night Air for Dyspepsia.
ICor. MedIcnl Record.l

Cor. Medical Record.
People who have got rid of the
night air superstition can almost
defy dyspepsia by sleeping in a
cross.draught, or, in cold weather,
at least near u halfopen window.
Cold, fresh air il an invaluable aid
to the assimilation of non.nitroge-
nous articles of food (fat meat, but.
ter, etc.. Sitting bedrooms al.
most neutralze the effects of out
door exercise. Winter is, there.
fore, on the whole, the most aus
picious time for beginning q dys
pepsia cure. In summer a high
sanitarium is the best place to
start with, or, for coast.dw Oilers,
a surfy sea.shore. Early rising, q
cold bath before breakfast, fire.
qucnt ablutions, deep draughts of
cold water, favored with settler
and sugar or q few drops of rasp-
berry syrup, an air-bath before GO
ing to bed, and wide-open bed
room windows will score an i'm.
portant point in favor OF nature
the return of q normal appetite,
and with il Of renewed strength
and mental elasticity. If the al
ter.dinner aflliction should show
no direct signs of abatement, the
patient must bidc his time, and
under no circumstances retort to
the drug exorcism. Temporary
blue.devils are far preferable to Q
persistent blue-pill Belzeedub.

Noon.-Most writer's have sup.
posed this word to be derived
from mona, nine. An almanac
printed at Antwerp in 1880 spells
the word "none," and this sug.
gests that II originally meant
none, nothing. After the clock
had struck IL tho cycle was CON-
plete, and there was nothing to
count. At the expiration of the
first hour one could be counted
in another hour two, and so on
Is it not probable, therefore, that
none, or as we call It, noon, origi
nally meant the time when none
or nothing, could be named as the
hour Of the dayi OF course the
reader will sec that this is mere
speculation.

Mr. Editor i desire through the
medium of your paper to say that
among the many pleasing reminiscent
ces of my second visit to this great
country, none will live longer in my
memory, or he Oftener referred to, than
my delightful Soiourn in this model
New England village, where | have
found the beauty of its natural sur
roundings only equallcd by the courtc-
~ and Christian hospitality of its in
| habitantS. As one draws nigh to some
places, Constantinople for instance, or
some Swiss villages, one is charmed
| with their appearance, but Il closer ac-
quaintance dispels the illusion how
different ut st. JOhnsbury As APP
preached it from Montreal was struck
with its beauty, but during my week 5
residence therein have been delight
ed with the neatneSs of the houses, the
cleanliness of the streets, the natural
pride of its inhabitants to keep every
thing in good order, the English APP
pearance of your country lanes, and
the fresh glimpses of sylvan beauty
met with at every turn, whether walk
ing or driving. My host, Mr.. Sage, has
been most kind and interchangeable in
anticipating every want and arranging
new excursions for every day.
With reference to the special object
of my visit to this country, to collect
information about providing homes fol
young English men and women o
good character, willing to work, tn,
Young men to be hired on farms anC
the young women as helps in house

mand for such persons everywhere, anC
