A Canal in Crimea.

Another internal improvement scheme
of great Importance, and involving some
mastery engineering methods and plans,
has for some time been in contemplation
by the Russian government, and, in view
of its political and commercial bearings
on the interests of that country, its &C
complishment, in due course of time, is no
longer a matter of doubt. This work is
the Perecop canal in the Crimea, which
will establish n direct route between the
Don, the Black sea, and the Sea of Azof,
and three lines of rail, namely, the Knos-
notf V%eronej, the Kursk Charkoff, Azof
Don or Maripol line, and the Losoff Sebas-
topol. Charkoff Niolaieff line will be
brought into junction with it. Besides
other considerations, such a canal will
enable the Russians to bring the coal and
coke of the Don collieries to the Black sea
ports.-New York Sun.

A clock licked merrily among the pas
sengers on a Cass avenue car the other
day, and one passenger after another
looked up c%heerfully and said;
That sounds good Where is the
ticker2'
No one seemed to know. One little
woman with her arms full of packages
hdgeted and looked uncomfortable.
That isn't a clock you hear said n
~distr8ught, wild looking man who sat near
the door; tits my heart you hear beat

Everybody looked at him sympatheti-
cally, when n nan in the corner who nae
been reading a paper suddenly jumped
up.

At this moment the alarm in the clock
went off, and the man who had heart dis,
ease rushed out of the car and was seen
running wildly down the sidewalk, while
the little woman with the clock rang the
bell and carried off the cause of the dis,

Cenuloid sheathing for ships.

Among the various uses of celluloid it
would appear to be a suitable sheathing
for ships in place of copper. A French COM
pany now undertakes to supply the sub
stance for this at nine francs per surface
meter and per millimeter of thickness. In
experiments by NJ. Butaine, plates of eel
luloid applied to various vessels in Jan
uary last were removed five or six months
after, and found quite intact and free
from marine vegetation, which was
abundant on parts uncovered. The color
of the substance is indestructible; the
thickness may be reduced to O.O003 meter;
m the qualities of elasticity, solidity, i'm
permeability, resistance to chemical ac-
ton, etc, are all in favor of the use of
celluloid .-Annales Industrielles.

The Criminal Law.

Chow about the criminal law-does it
not pay the young, eloquent counsel bet
ter than civil law"
'The criminal law has lost its import
ance to the practitioner. Very few men
of ability now follow it, and decline to ac-
cept r%etainers, unless, perhaps, for some
client for whom they ave civil business
and whom they desire to oblige. There
are but few cases of the kind that are at
t~ractive to a man of ability. Once in a
while a highly important case, having
some great question at its root, will at
tract the most distinguished counsel, but
these cases are rare. Most of the crimi-
nal business, in large cities particularly,
is both commonplace and disgusting. No
young man with character and mental
force should seek to follow it as a business
in such n city. The name of being a
criminal lawyer. is injurious; it has I'M
savory associations. 1t is not attractive,
~pecuniarily, as a rule, for the criminal
classes do not abound in wealth, and nave
little means to pay their advocates. New

WHY your HEAD ACHES.

What IA Family Doctor Writes for a Fam.
lily Magazine-What to Avoid.
Probably one of the most common head.
aches, if not the most common, is that
called nervous. The class of people who
are most subject to it are certainly not
your outdoor workers. If ever my old
friend the gardener had had a headache,
it would not have been one of this descrip-
ton. MOI does Darby, the plowman, nor
Jarvey, the bus man, nor Greatfoot, the
gauger, suffer from nervous headache,
nor any one else who leads an outdoor
life, or who takes plenty OF exercise in the
open air. But poor Matte, who slaves
away her days in a stuffy draper's shop,
and JEANNE in her lonesome attic, bend
ing over her white seam-stitch, stitch,
stitch-till far into the night, and thou
sands of others of the indoor working
class are martyrs to this form of head
ache Are they alone in their misery?
No; for my Lady Bonhomme, who comes
to have her ball dress fitted on, has often
n fellow feeling with JEANNE and Matte.
She, however, we cannot afford to pity
quite so much, because she has the power
to change her modus vivendi whenever
she chooses.
What are the symptoms of thisc COM
plant hat makes you head ache sop You
will almost know it is coming from a
dull, perhaps sleepy, feeling. You have
no heart and little hope, and you are rest
less at night. Still more restless, though,
when it comes On in full force, and then
for nights, perhaps, however much you
may wish to, you can scarcely sleep at all.
"How my poor head does achel' This
you will say often enough; sadly to your
self, and hopelessly to those near you,
from whom you expect no sympathy and
get none. And yet the pain is bad to
bear, although it is generally confined to
only one part of the head.
The worst of this form of headache lies
in the fact that it is periodic. Well, as it
arises from unnatural habits Of life or pc
culiarities of constitution, this periodicity
is no more than we might expects
If / just note down some of the most
ordinary causes of nervous headache, peo-
pie who suffer therefrom Will know what
to do and what to avoid. l will then
speak of the treatment.
Overwork indoors.
Oyerstudy.
Work or study indoors, carried on in an
unnatural or cramped position of body.
Literary men and womsn ought to do mos
of their work at n standing desk, lying
down now and then on a sofa to ease brain
and heart and permit ideas to flow. They
should work out of doors in fine weather
with their feet resting on a board. not
on the earth-and under canva in wet
weather. 1t is surprising the good this
simple advice, If followed, can effect.
Neglect of the ordinary rules that con-
duce to health.
Want of fresh air in bedrooms.
Want Of abundant skin exciting exer-
else.
Neglect of the bath.
Over indulgence in food, especially of n
stimulating character.
Weakness or debility of body, however
produced. This can only be remedied by
proper nutriment.
Nervousness, however induced.
= The excitement inseparable from a
fashionable life.
Exciting passion, anger and jealousy in
particular.

JACK AND l..
I vas so tired of Jack, poor boy,

Fate had been kind, and we,
Two foolish spendthrift hearts, made waste

OH tired we were. Time seems so long
When everything goes well!
The walls of home rose grim and strong;
Like prisoners in a cell
We clanked our marriage chain, and pinned
For freedom we had left behind.
Tired, tired of love and peace were we,

While Jack had me, and had Jack!

We had very nice letter last week
from our regular Fayetteville cores
pendent Miss Mary Mclean. She has
been much missed of late. She has
not written much on account of the
illness of her father. He is conval.
descent and we expect letter from
her often now. She has become a
recognized part of the MESSENGER
staff.
The MESSENGER has so reduced its
list as to try to be cash list. We
have been much imposed upon by our
readers. The parties we cut this week
owe us about two hundred dollars.
We cant carry them any longer. There
are many good ones in the list, but it
is just as hard for us to carry good
man as bad one for we see no differ
ence only as they pay each tell us the
same and we are only convinced by the
cash. Then it would be unfair to cut
a poor woman who is unable to pay
and allow some fellow with hundreds
to run because he has money.
AS was expected, half dozen col
ored men have been arrested. charged
with lynching the half witted white
man down in Georgia, for committing
an outrage on colored lady from
which she died. So strange that col
ored men can be found out so soon
after committing such crime when
there hasn't been one white man ar
rested for every hundred colored men
lynched. hardly. Colored folks will
initiate white men in evil as we'll as
good, and if this lynching business is
not stopped, something serious will
happen.
