1t is rather amusing to notice that in
all hotels in this country the first ques,
ton propounded by the waiter, as he
places your chair at the breakfast table,
is, in what will you have your
eggs prepared That n person can eat his
breakfast without eggs seems to be a
monstrous impossiblity. Not having had
the pleasure OF breaking bread or the
shell of his matutinal egg in the house OF
any native, the traveller canno truthfully
state whether this is an actual necessity
or not.-C. r. Crespi in San Francisco

Anur.,ar Killed in sorth Carolina.

CHARLOTTE, n. c., December u
News has just reached the Chronicle OF
the killing of negro burglar, name not
known, a. China Grove, thirty miles
north of here, by Mr. NJ Kirk, on Christ
mas night. He heard the burglar trying
20 get into his house, and got a gun
and drove the negro away. While
standing on his porch Kirk
discovered his gua was not
loaded. He went in the house and be-
gan loading it. Just as he finished he
heard steps behind him. Turning, he
saw the negro, who had been lurking
near the house, raise and draw knife to
strike him. Kirk, who had the gun by
the muzzle, dealt the negro blow over
the head with the butt, which killed him.
The coroner's jury acquitted Kirk.
