Rioting in Smithyille.

Smithville had another row last night,
and while pistols were not called into use,
the ARRAY was even more exciting and pro-
longed than last Friday nights row in that
locality. The war was between colored
women. Rhoda Washington and Jane
Morris, two Yamacraw negroes, went out
10 Smithville, and became involved in n
quarrel with Emma Brown, Emma Stiles

Travel of Thorn in a Mans Body.

George w. Mitchell, the foreman of
the Palatka (Florida) Daily NeOs was
thrown into a contemplative mood the
other day by strange occurrence
About seven years ago be was travel
ing in Mexico, and while out walking
one day he saw somthing on the ground
that excited his curiosity aud stopped
down to pick it up. While thus stoop-
ing or sitting on one knee be lost bis
balance and fell over against cactus
running one Of tho thorns into the calf
of his leg. He tried to pull it out, but
did not succeed, aud when he got up, as
it had struck muscle, it had frm
hold, and was drawn in through the
skin and disappeared. For week af-
ter that the only inconvenience was
little soreness in the wound, and two
or three years after Mr.. Mitchell said
he felt as if he had rheumatism in that
leg. Recently sore place was felt on
his chin--somcthing like boil. though
not quite so painful. Still it was enough
to annoy him and be kept working at the
place, as one will, until he felt sharp
point protruding. He tried several ways
of asccrtaining what it was, aud finally
rcsorted to the old-fashioned way Of
squeezing the place until the point came
out and he pulled out about shree-quar-
ters of an inch Of the old cactus thorn.
After seven years of travel over his
body, entering the calf of his leg. it
finally finishes its journey on the end of
his chin.

Setting Others Straight.

One of the most tempting parts to
play in this world is that of him who
sets other people straight. It appeals
to ones love of notoriety; to ones sense
of superiority and to ones desire to
"do good" with as little effort and per-
sonal inconvenience as possible.
1t is such an easy job, this setting of
others straight. In your own case, your
mental vision may be clouded by self
interest, your moral perceptions confus-
ed by personal inclinations. But in the
case Of Smith or Jones, there is moth
ing to prevent your calm and unbiased
discrimination between right and wrong
You see at once, without doubt or hes
itation, what your neighbof ought to be
under the circumstances in which he is
placed, and it is plain that your judg-
mcnt must be far superior to his, because
Of his individual equation" as the as
tronomcrs say.
1t is such high and holy responsi-
bility, this setting of other straight.
How can you justify yourself to your
own conscience if you see fellow-crea-
ture going astray and neglect to warn
him--or pause before you get an act of
the Legislature passed compelling him
to go the right way-which is yours
if he prove so blind and foolish as not
to desire to travel it of his own accord
1t is such u quiet, comfortable, cosy
way of working out ones own salvation,
this setting of others straight. All Of
us have darling sins, pet indulgenoes,
weaknesses We are ashamed of, but Gu
joy. How difficult to suppress or con
quer these, how delightful to atone for
them by pointing out the wickednoss Of
another to him Surely we may do
little wrong ourselves ! Have we not
solemnly adjured many others to abstain
from all naughtiness This practical
mode of adjusting the moral balance is
a secret consolation to more people than
some might suppose.
Yet the philosophic mind fairly trem-
bles with awe at the idea Of what sud
don, tremendous stride would be made
toward the millennium If everybody
would for just twenty-four hours aban-
don all idea of setting anybody else
straight and give his undivided atten-
!ion to the rectifcation of his own tor
tuous courses.

EVEN THIS WILL PASS AWAY
0f all the proverbs, quaint and sweet,
That hardened souls so gently greet,
As some wise voice from ancient clay,
There sure is none in whose belief
The Worn heart finds such sweet relief
AsNEven this will pass awayr
When weary hands from early dawn
'Iill lengihening eve must labor on, .
And know not surcease day by day
How gladly comes the sweet refrain,
That echoes DER and DER again,
This, even this, will pass away"
When burdens that are hard to'bear
Would sink the soul in black despair,
And whitening lips refuse to pray;
Faiti y lovely face cen then will glow,
And sweet her voice that whispers low,
e9ct Sgeu this will pass away
When earth to earth hnd aust todast z
Isfead above our hearts best trust,
And we in anguish turn away;
The bitter cup less bitter seems,
When through its dregs the bright truth
CLEANS,
That even this will pass away.
Yea, even this With grief profound
We stand beside the new made mound,
And long to greet the coming day,
When weary feet have found rest,
When hands are folded DER the breast,
And all lifes woes have passed away.

Taking It's Time.

1t was stated in our dispatches the other
day that 100000 had already been spent on
the new library building in Washington,
and that not stone had been laid. This is
somewhat remarkable statement, but it is
about true To be exact, the sum expended
on the work up to the last report of the
Secretary of the Library Commission was
$97, PCS rs.
The architect apologies for the slow
progress by saying that the building is to
eclipse any of its kind in the world and,
therefore, the utmost care must be exer-
cised in the selection of material The
engineer has so far found it impossible to
get satisfactory quality of cement. All
the samples sent have faller below tho re-
uuired standard. The structure will be
larger than the patent office, the treasury,
or the state, war and navy building, and
will only be surpassed in magnitude by the
capitol 1t will cover IL 900 square feet
There is a corps of thirty-six officials,
such as architect, assistant architect, ac-
oountaut, computer, experts, etc, to be
paid, and for this purpose a yearly sum of
$40, S35 is required. These officials get their
Then there are laborers to be paid, and for
them about So, 900 more is ne sded
The sum of $500 has been expended
in inclosing the site. The purpose
of inclosing it is to prevent drunken loafers
from falling into the excavation which has
been made for the foundation. 1t would
seem that either the government lays great
store on drunkards, or Washington whisky
tangles up mans legs to the extent that
nothing short of a twelve-foot wall will
prevent him from tumbling into hole. No
eye can penetrate this wall, and except from
the dome of the capitol, more than 300
yards distant, no one can look into the i'll
closure.
The government can afford to go slow.
1t has plentiful supply of money, and if it
succeeds in adding another to the splendid
structures that make Washington the band
soonest city in the world, and at the same
time gets library building adapted to all
requirements, nobody will complain.

Billiards Hard on Smokers.
From the CHICAGO Tribune,

FROM uie CdtCNJO ITtOune.
One of the coolest days recently pedestrians
on Clark street stared in amazement at a big
man who shuffied along apparently nearly over
come with heat. He carried an enormous
coonskin coat on his arm. his big FUR cap was
pushed back from his forehead, his coat was
unbuttoned, and the perspiration stood in beads
on his brow. He was looking anXiouSly at the
store windows, as if in search of something that
he d got to have, and have right off. Along
about Washington street he gave it up as bad
job, and tackled a shivering Chicagoan who was
hidden in fur collar, and was trying to keep
from freezing to death.
Say, stranger he remarked feebly, wiping
his forehead with the back of his hand, kim We
steer me onter somethin coolin'-soda water or
sech like? I'm clean done up with the heat
The Chicagoan was too much aStonished to
reply and stared blankly at the speaker.
What S the matter with this here durn town,
anyhow" continued the big man. taking off his
cap and unbuttoning his vest "All the soda
