OBLITERATED NUISANCES.

NEW YORK, Oct. 16.-At Shang
Drapper's, a buglar, whose place
is a resort for thieves, fight took
place to-day between Irving and
Walsh, two notorious thieves. Stragg-
lers who were in the saloon at the
time of the shooting were arrested,
among them was Billy Porter, Irving's
pal in his crimes, aud who helped
them to escape from Raymond street
Jail, Brooklyn, where they were con-
fined for the Patcher an burglary. They
were both drunk and had quarreled
over some of their business affairs
until in moment each drew revOlvers
and fired and expired without drawing
second breath. Irving WIS shot
through the brain and Walsh through
the heart. The only regret among
those who knew the parties, seem to
be that Porter, and Others ofthe com.

Louis

Since the establishment of this popu-
lar house in Monroe few years ago,
when it was thought that "specialty'
houses could not live here, it has been
to our satisfaction to observe, that, with
indOmitable energy and pluck, the
Messrs. Subblett Bros have succeeded
in establishing their business upon a
firm foundation and that to-day it is
not only one Of the leading houses in
Monroe, but the most complete hard
ware establishment in North Louisiana.
1t is gratifying to Us to see such efforts
as they have displayed, crowned with
success, for they not only get their
reward, but the material interests Of
our city are greatly advanced thereby.
1t indicates that our city is keeping
pace with the progress of the times.
We want more enterprising men like
Messrs. Sublett Bros. to come from the
Great West and settle here and 60 into
the especially" business.

Heavy Failure.

GALVESTON, Tex, Oct. l6.-A
special the News from Loredo, Mex,
says: a great sensation was caused
there by the announcement of the sus-
pension at Montery of the great firm Of
Sembroma and Co., one of oldest and
wealthiest houses in northern Mexico.
Their liabilities are placed at $500, 900.
The effect of this failure on Northern
Mexico can only be compared to that
of Jay Gould in the United States. The
firm Of Sembroma d. Co., is reported
to be composed of Sembroma, Gonzales
Triveno and Gov. Madiero. Their
business outside Of Mexico is largely
interested in the purchase of valuable
real estate and has many of the largest
aud finest Hiaoends in Mexico. The
immediate cause of suspension is said
to be presentation for payment of Two
obligations amounting in the aggre-
gate to Sl00,000, which could not be
cashed without several days notice.
Creditors refused to grant delay and
the paper went to protest. This pro-
duced panic aud a RON at once COM
menced on the house by its smaller
creditors, which resulted in the firm
closing their dool-. 1t is safe to say
that the suspension viii he only
temporary. Gold, Frank d Co., of San
Antonio, Texas, are said to he among
the heaviest creditors.

A Very Young Musician.

When the famous Mozart was three
years old, he began to show signs of his
wonderful powers. Leopold Mozart,
the father, was then giving his daughter
lessons ON the clayier-an instrument
something like the modern piano. The
little Wolfgang was always present at
these lessons, and used to amuse him
self by striking thirds, and producing
other harmonies.
At four years of age he could re-
member with accuracy very difficult
airs which he had heard played, and
his father at once began to give HIM
lessons. The boy needed no compulslon
to learn, and showed the most remarka-
ble aptitude. A minuet he. could learn
in half an hour, and then, having once
mastered his piece, it was always played
with the greatest accuracy in every
respect. At the same time he began to
compose little pieces which were care
fully noted down by his father, and some
of which are still extant. The child
was reared in an atmosphere of music,
and it was natural that he should love
it. His compositions soon took a more
ambitious form, and at six he wrote
pieces for an orchestra.
Mozart's life was a short one, but II
fully realized the promise of his child
hood.

that day in waiting, when he saw the
musnud torn, was SC frightened that his
body was all in a tremor. He showed
it to another Ferash, and remarked
"If the King should see it, he would
kill me-"
The other asked whether any one else
| had heard of the accident, or had seen
the musnud, and he answered in the
negative.
"Be of good'cheer, then" replied he,
''for there is in this city a Ruffoogur
Tor darner) who is a perfect master of
his business, carry the musnud to him,
and he will fine-draw it in such a way
that no one will discover it."
The Ferash went to the shop of the
Ruffoogur, and told him that if he did
the business nicely, he should have
whatever he might demand. The Ruff
foogur required only half a dinar, but
the Ferash gave him a whole dinar, and
the musnud was mended and returned
in the course of the night. The next
day the Ferash spread it on the throne.
When the King saw that the musnud
had been put to rights he asked the
Ferash who had darned it. The Ferash
pretended ignorance, but the King told
him not to be alarmed, for that he had
torn the musnud to answer a particular
purpose. The Ferash then named the
Ruffoogur, and the King sent for him,
and asked him whether he had darned
a purse in the course of that year, and
whether, if he should see it, he should
know it again. He answered, ~ es.
The King then showed him the purse,
which he knew again, and said that
the Cay of the city had given it to him
to do.
The King then sent for the Cay, and
said to him
~ had perfect reliance on your integ-
rity on account of which | promoted
you to the dignity of Cazy, 1 did not
know you to be a thief. How came you
to steal a mans property 2"
He answered :-"Alas my lord, who
accuses me of this 2"
The King replied ~ say So" he
then produced the purse, and showed
where it had been darned. The Cazy
was COMPOUNDED, and trembled. The
King sent him to prison, and he COM
manded the owner of the purse to take
his money from him, and the Cay,
having no alternative, paid it. The
next day the King ordered the Cazy
tn he hanged.

INFLUENCE OF ELECTRIC LIGHT ON
HEALTH.-The influence of the electric
light on health was lately discussed at a
meeting,oft the HYGIENE Society of Ham
burg, and DR.. Kruss gave his views on
the subject at some length. He referred
to the influence of the electric light on
the human eyesight, and expressed his
opinion that it produces no evil effects,
the light having a violent tinge under
most circumstances. The electric light
being free from the disadvantages Incl
dental to the combustion of gas, i'll the
consumption of oxygen and the produc-
ton of carbonic acid, he considered its
developments as being a hygienic meas
ure of importance.
DEATH FROM ALCoHOL.-ln an i'm
portant paper read before the late British
| Medical Association at Worchester, DR..
Norman Kerr presented statistics show
ing all the dea,hs in his ownpractice due,
either directly or indirectly, to alcoholic
causes; and after carefully sitting the
cases, he applied the result to the whole
number of medical practitioners in Great
Britain. He thus calculated that 40, 500
! persons died annually in that country
from personal intemperance. Compared
with this statement, the returns OF
twenty colleagues engaged principally
among the middle classes, and no. in
Guiding hospital or workhouse cases,
show a grand total of deaths wholly
due to alcohol of "a, 453 for 1880.
BEANS AS FooD. The nutritive val
ne of beans is very great-greater than
almost any other article of food in COM
mon use. Considering their richnesss
they are probably the cheapest food we
have, but somewhat difficult of di-
gestion, probably owing to the fact
that we rarely cook them enough
and masticate them insuificiently. In
preparing beans for the table they should
first be well soaked in and then thrown
into boiling water and cooked until of a
medium consistency between a fluid
and a solid-neither too thick nor toe
thin. They require come acid on them
when eaten, and a sufficient amount 0
salt to render them palatable. They
may be eaten with potatoes or other veg,
etables which contain more starch and
less albumen rather than with too much
bield OF meat. In Germany there is q
process patented, by which beans and al
leguminous seeds are reduced to a very
fine flour and rendered capable of being
used as food by the most delicate per,
sons. We have samples of this flour
and it is used extensively for making

THE DINNER TABLE: We are often
asked lOI ullOl Lldllol III lCSaiu 'hS
proper of arranging a dinner-ta-
| BILE. The following hints are, we believe,
the correct thing Above all Things have
your linen spotless and ironed properly,
and your silver and glass shining. Ar
range your plates upon the table right
| side up. a knife and fork should be
supplied for each course, and a dessert
spoon for soup. Place the knives with
the spoon between, upon the right hand,
the forks, with the tines down, upon the
left. All the dishes should be well
heated. The napkin should be neatly
folded with a piece of bread or roll IN
side and placed at the right-hand side.
A china bowl full of ferns or flowers, If
obtainable, should always be upon the
dinner-table, or a flower-pot of growing
ferns concealed in a handsome jar. In
giving a dinner party, a large block OF
ice placed upon a silver and covered
with moss and flowers will make a
pleasing ornament which, as the ice
melts away, cools the air. Soup Is
usually served first, the servant hand
ing the plates at the left hand to the
guest. Only a few spoonfuls are in the
dish and no one asks for or accepts q
second plate. Fish is next served with
potato cake or rolls or small oyster
patties and served after the soup arc
before the roast appears. When wine IL
served, if you do not wish it, put YOU
finger over the top of the glass and say
Excuse me, please" The dessert il
placed upon the table after the salad
have been removed and the crumbs
brushed from the cloth. Puddings anC
pastry are served first, then ~jellies, ice
and cakes and fruits. Finger-bowl
should be placed at each plate when tn
fruits and ices are served, with a daint,
apkin for drying the fingers.

Laugh, and the world laughs with you
Weep, and you weep alone,
For the sad old world must borrow its mirth,
But has trouble enough of its own
Sing, and the hills will answ
Sigh, it is lost on the air.
The echoes bound to a joyful sound,
But shrink from voicing care.
Rejoice, and men will seek you;
Grieve, and they turn and go.
They want full measure of all your pleasure
But they do not need your woe
Be glad, and your friends are many
Be sad, and you lose them all.
There are none TO decline your neetared

But alone you must drink life's gall.

Fast, and the world goes by.

For a large and lordly train

The Secret of Good Manners.

The secret of good manners is to for
get ones self altogether. The people of
really fine breeding are the ones who
never think of themselves, but only of
the pleasure they can give to others.
No adornment of beauty, OF learning,
or accomplishments, can go so far in
its power to attract, as the one gift OF
sympathy.
In all French history no woman had
a stronger fascination for whoever came
within her reach than Madame Re
camier. She was called beautiful but her
portraits prove that she was not to be
compared to many less charming women.
And even when every attraction of
person had long passed away, and she
was an old, old woman, her sway owe
the hearts of others vas as power
full as ever. What was her secret?
1t was this one thimF solely-her gen.
uine and unaffected interest in the good
and i'll fortunes of her friends. Authors
came to her and read her their books
painters came to her with their pictures
statesmen with their projects. She was
sweet, simply and uncensciously, as a
rose is sweet. She really cared for the
happiness and success of others, and
they felt the ~genuineness of her SYM
patty. 1t surrounded her with an inn
mortal charm.
Let any girl try Madame Recamier's
experiment. Let her go into society
thinking nothing of the admiration she
may win, but everything of the happi'
ness she can confer. 1t matters little
whether her face is beautiful or her tot
lette costly. Before the end of three
months she viii be a happy girl herself
for the world likes sunshine and sympa
thy and it turns to them as the iiower
bask in the sun of June.

A Solid Sentiment.

A worthy wife of forty years stand
ing and whose life has not been made
up Of sunshine and peace, gives the
following sensible advice; preserve
sacredly the ~privacies of your own
house, your married state and your
heart. Let no father, mother, sister or
brother ever presume to come between
you two, or to share the joys OF the
sorrows that belong to You two alone.
Build your own quiet world, not allow
ing your deares, earthly friend to be the
confdant of aught that concerns your
domestic peace. Let the moments of
alienation, if they occur, be healed at
once. Never, no never, speak of 1t
outside, but to each other confess, and

rows sun still find you at variance. =
