THE GROWN-UP TOMBOY.

The girl romp otherwise known as
the tom.boy, is an eager, earnest,
impulsive, glad hearted, kind-souled
specimen of genus feminine. If her
laugh is too frequent and her tone
a trife too emphatic we are willing
to overlook these for the sake of the
true life and exulting vitality of
which they are the escape valveto
and indeed, we rather like tie high
pressure nature which must close off
its superhuous steam by such ebul-
litions. The glancing eye, the blow
ing cheek, the fresh balmy breath,
the 1.-the, graceful play of the limbs
tell tale of healthy and vigorous
physical development which is Nat
ure's best beauty. The soul and
mind will be developed also in due
time, and we shall have before us a
woman in the highest sense of the
term. When the tomboy has sprung
up to a healthful and vigorous woo
manhood, she will be ready to take
hold of the duties of life, to become
a worker IN the great system
of humanity. She will not sit down
to sigh over the Work given her to
do, to simper nonsense or to fall sick
at heart, but she will be ever ready
to take up her burden of duty. In
her track there will be sound philos>
ophy, In her thoughts boldness and
originality, in her heart Heavens
purity, and the world will be better
that she lived in it. To her allotted
task she will bring health, vigor,
energy, amp spirits; these will give
her both the power and the endur-
ance without which her life must be
in some respects at least, failure

THE BIRMINGHAM TRAGEDY
Further Particulars of the Murder and t

Further Particulars of the Murder and the
Shooting.
BIRMINGHAM, AlAbana.-The effect OF
the firing upon the mob bent on lynch
ing Murderer HAYES, Saturday night, by
Sheriff Smith and his posse was, three
men killed outright, seven fatally wound
ed, several of whom have died, and thirty
others seriously wounded. Col. Thos. G,
Jones, of the 2nd regiment of Alabama
state troops, arrived here Sunday morn
ing with five companies, and is confident
of his ability to prevent any further at
tempt at mob violence. Sheriff Smith
said in an interview that ne deeply re
GREETED the occurrences of the night, bat
felt that he had simply did his duty in
upholding the majesty of the law. He
said rs gave the mob warning and did
not give 1he order to fire until it was alb
soIutely necessary to do so, and that af-
ter the mob had began to fire upon the
jail.
Mayor Thompson on Sunday issued 9
proclamation expressing sympathy for
the families of the victims of the trad
gedy, and deeply regretting the occur
renee, but favoring the maintainence OF
law and order and appealing to all who

their homes. Sheriff Smith was arrested
on the charge of murder.
The city is still in state of great ex
citement. Many men are on the streets
but it is thought that the trouble is nov
over.
R. R. HAYES is believed to be the MUIR
derer of hlswife and two daughters. de
has beer arrested for the murder of hl'
little daughter, and the mysterious dis
appearance of his wife led to the belief
that he had also murdered her. This
belief was confirmed by tie finding o.
her body in the lake Saturday. There
were blood stains found in the house anG

Let the blood of her hundred thousand throb in

And the wit of all the wisest make sunshine in

Habits and Long Life.

The information which the blanks
give on the subject of habits comedies
with the opinion of most people, formed
from observation that longevity without
regularity Of habits is rare. These old
people, man and women alike, are put
down as early risers and retirers, al
most without exception, and fully 10 out
of every 20 have observed this custom
throughout life, except perhaps at some
short period in youth. Meals have been
eaten regularly, three each day, with din
ner at noon, the exceptions being SO rare
as to indicate nothing. Exercise in most
cases has been hard work up to IS or &c
and after that period hes consisted when
the regular occu patton has been given
up) of walking, gardening or both. Ex-
cept IL. cases of sickness these old peo-
pie are as a rule active and as fond of
constant occup alton of some sort today
as most men and women are ar 35. One
os the most significant facts gathered in
this canvass is that regarding occupa-
tions. Out of 1000 nlen, throughout lift p,
461 have been farmers; 80 have bsen car
penters; 20 merchants; 81 mariners: 40
laborers; AZ shoeu akers; IL manu- factur-
ers, % clergymen, % mesons; 16 black
smiths; Is bankers: u each of iron work
ers, mill hands. physicians and lawyers.
and the balance are divided among near
Iy all the other trades and professions.
The list Includes only one each of the
following: Hermit, hunter, chemist,
professor, soldier, broker, auction eer,
jockey, contractor. Nearly all, however,
begun life upon the farm.

Cultivation of WatercreSses.
Chambers .TOurnal

As is the case with most other plants,
the cultivated watercresses are of better
quality than the wild; and besides this,
there is the moro important considera-
ton, from growers point of view, that
the cost of rearing the plant at will is
less than that of searching for it under
the difficulties which attend it's spontane-
Gus production. The method of oulti-
waiting is this: A clayey soil is selected,
and in this beds of about a foot in depth
are pade. Each bed has slight incii-
nation from one end to the other, and IN
20 it small S ream of water is caused to
flow. The bottom Of the bed can either
be made of a sandy or gravelly nature,
or allowed to remain in its patural state,
though the former is the better proceed
ing. At the bottom of the beds the water
cress is planted in rows, in the direction
of the current, at about six inches apart.
Dams OF half a foot in depth are made
across each bed, their humber and fire.
quency being regulated by the length of
the bed and its degree of inclination, in
such q manner that when the dams are
full, the water will raise at least three in
ches over the plants In each comp part
ment. The water is thus caused to circu-
late throughout, and if it be not absorb
ed by the soil, stream no larger than
