CLOSE CALL.-Last Tuesday night
a colored boy named Frank Compass,
came near losing his life. He, with
some other boys, was in Mr.. A. T.
Sloat's store, on Water ST., where one
of them was purchasing small re-
volver. Three cartridges were placed
in without John Sloat's knowledge,
and something not working right, it
was handed him to fix, when the
weapon was accidentally discharged,
the ball cutting furrow across Franks
forehead. And as the blood began to
flow, he thought he was "a goner,p
and John, frightened nearly as bad,
took him in double quick to the doc
tor, who soon discovered the wound
to be only skin deep but it was within
an inch of his life Winchester Ledd-

WINGS AND STINGs.-This is the
airy, singing title of another spright-
Iy amusing book by Palmer Cox. 1t
is one of the Queer People series, and
similar to its companion Paws and
Claws" of which we told you recent
ly. This is one of the funniest and
brightest books for youngsters we
have ever seen. The illustrations are
splendid and will make the boys and
girls roar with laughter. The Boston
Budget says: "As q holiday book
nothing could be more appropriate, since
nothing could confer greater pleasure
upon the little ones" The National
Republican says: "Erery page as q
picture and all the tent music, q .tou,a-
tain of fan, ,seper ceasi'ag. II aoiN make
go,eng eyes blaze" 1t will certainly
be wonderfully popular. 1t is puo-.

or an agency should apply.

hope it will be with becoming moder-

no unnecessary narrowing of any,

to wound the fraternal spirit that
exists among us as common citizens,
only differing in politics. We've all
been through the mill and know how
to take defeat with good grace, and
we should bear the palm of victory
with equal dignity and composure.

There is a great deal of complaint
among farmers and others who have
already picked their apples. in regard
to the matter in which they are rot
ting. The very choicest looking ap-
pies upon being stored away in the
course of few days are perfectly
rotten and worthless, and hundreds of
bushels yet on the trees are daily gor
ing to waste in the same manner, rot
ting to the very core. The cause of
this is attributed by many to the I'M
usually wet summer, and many of the
trees bearing too politically, and the
loss sustained in this respect by fruit
growers will be very considerable,
and the prospect is that but very few
apples can be kept for winter use.
We may therefore reasonably expect
to pay high price for this fruit
during the winter, owing to the gener-
al scarcity arising from thelack OF
keeping qualities this season.-Wt-
