Shooting Scrape.

Alex. Pride, well-known negro,
and q white man named Bob
Martin engaged in an alteration
last Saturday afternoon, during
which Alex. was shot in the head and
face by two bullets from Leonard's
pistol. Alex. being tough, or hard
headed, the bullets did not penetrate
the skull very deeply and he was not
thought to be badly hurt at first.
Since then, however, his wounds have
grown worse and he is supposed to
be in danger.

The Seductive Ice Water.

It's hotter'n blazes, and. ice-water
feels mighty good this time of the
year, we know; but be temperate in
the use Of it. Here is what the emf
nent DR.. Hammond says oftoo much
too cold ice-water:
cit is quite common for persons to
feel faint and to become pale immedi-
ately after drinking a glass of ice
water. They attribute these effects
to heat or over-eXertion, or to some
other cause which has nothing to do
with the result, not knowing that
they have so weakened the heart as
to prevent it's sending a due amount
of blood to the lungs and brain, and
that, had the water been a little
colder, life would possibly have been
extinguished altogether

MAIL MATTERS.
Card from Postmaster Smith--Morris
Resigns.

Card from Postmaster Smith--Morris
Resigns.
Owing to the publication of a mis-
statement in Winston paper, anent
the failure of the reception or depar-
ture OF the mail last Tuesday morn
ing, it is due to the patrons of this
postoffice that a correct version of
the affair be given 1t will be found
below:
When the Monday night train
reached this city the carrier who con-
veys the mail from the depot to the
postoffce failed to put in his appear
ance. This was due to the fact that
the regular carrier had gone off on
an excursion and the darkey whom
he had hired to fill his place failed to
show up.
Route-agent Morris appeared at
the po1toffice, however, as usual with
the regis yered letter pouch, and when
asked by the night clerk, Mr.. HIT,
where the balance of the mail was,
stated that the carrier had not ar
rived when he left the depot, but that
he supposed it would be along after
awhile"
After waiting some time, Mr.. HIT
went back to bed Tin the postoffice
building) and heard nothing more of
the matter that night.
The next morning the route agent
appeared at the postoffice, for the
purpose of registering out, for $50
a. m. train, and left. Before leaving,
Mr.. Hit informed him that the mail
had not yet reached the Office. The
mail carrier does not-usually call for
the mail until after the route agent
leaves the postoffice for the depot
After waiting until few minutes
before the time for the departure OF
the train, and no mail carrier ap-
pearing, an effort was made to get a
dray and send the mail to the depot.
Owing to the early hour and the
shortness of the time, no means OF
conveyance could be procured.
Assistant postmaster Walker then
hurried to the depot thinking that,
surely, the route-agent had left the
incoming mail Of the night before
with the railroad authorities (who
are contractors for carrying the mail
but to his astonishment, and to the
great inconvenience of the public, he
found that agent Morris had taken
the mail back to Greensboro!
These are the exact facts, and the
intelligent reader will not have to be
told in addition that the postoffice
officials at this place were not to
blame. The fault lies solely with DR.
Morris who locked the mail in the
postal car over night instead of turn
ing it over to the railroad authorities

was i'll the dry-goods district Of New
York one day when a friend OF mine intro
duccd me to one who, so far as I know, is
the only successful travelling ssleslady in
this country, writes "Elliot" in the Chi
cago Grocer. She has Just returned from q
very successful Western trip, and was
enthusiastic about just three things; first,
herself as "woman drummer; second, the
cordial reception she has jus5 received at
the hands Of the people in the West; aud
third, the West and Western folks in gen.
eral, including general buyers and gentle
mauIy hotel clerks.
Ii I were writing sensational police re.
port, would say right here that this lady
is pretty, and go into a general exclamation
point over The color of her eyes, comeliness
OF her figure and tangle your imaginations
ali up III nut-brcWn curls or auburn tresses.
But truth compels me TO desist. For the
facts in the case are that she is not what ls
commonly called pretty at all In the
place OF it is truly Wo1nanly bearing, char
actcr, and an ease and grace of manner,
coupled with conversational powers that
would make the lneanest man on earth
double his orders, if he had to have an
auction sale to clean up his stock the next
day. Travelling as al industry has long
been pre-empted by horny-fsted, cheeky,
hard-heartet' men, SO that it has been re.
garded as next to impossible for woman
to achieve success on the road. The tucked,
rufaed and ribboncd fraternity have had no
chance. Popular opinion, however, may be
all wrong. There certainly are certain
classes of goods as ladies' clothing, mill.
inery: furs, gloves, ETC., that ladies', it
seems 70 me, might sell on the road and
meet with great success. One of the part
ners in the house told me that this lady
seemed to be able to bear the hardships OF
the business as bravely as her fellow sales
men, and he said the firm are more than
pleased with her work.

BATTLE BETWEEN BIRDS.
A Hawk Engages in Fight with Flock
Of Will Ducks.

A Hawk Engage. in y Fight Will, Flock
of Will Ducks.
The time was toward the close OF the day,
and the place cove on Moosehead, says a
writer in the Lewiston {Mc) Journal. A
railroad man and myself were padding
down, and were quite near the shore. Across
the water in front OF us, and well down went
fock of ducks, ten or twelve in number.
and these passed INFO the cove, toward
which we silently padded, hoping to get a
shot. Rounding the point strange sight
met our eyes. The ducks had Settled. but
the head and NECK of each were stretched
upward. They were huddled closely to-
gether and were evidently much excited,
though it was plain to be seen that their
alarm was not on ou1 account. CHANGING
upward there was seen overhead uu,nster
hawk percted upon a dead tree, and at this
instant, like flash from the sky, he darted
with closed wings at the birds below. Down
they went. The hawk struck water with a
splash. rose again and hung suspended in
mid air. Soon q duck came up, and down
again the hawk darted. Time aud again
this was repeated; meanwhile my COM
panion explained the situation. ''The
ducks are in hole. Could they once get
wing and headway the hawk could not catch
feather. But they must first skim the
water when they fly, and here tue big fell
low could take them. He will get one be-
fore they get out Of this cove or drown the
tot"
The prediction was to prove partly true
at last the hawk was too quick for one of
TWO ducks who fouled (no joke intsnded}
each other as they were about to dive, and
fastened his claws to one. But the duck
had rc1 head downward the hawk had a
downward momentum, too, and both disap-
peared under the water. It seemed a min
ute before any thing was seen, save the rest
Vt the flock, who, coming to the surface, and
lot seeing their enemy, took wing at once.
First came toe bird OF prey to the surface,
and With Il ]abored effort he rose to his old
perch. Soon sitter came the duck. She
struggled to rise, failed, and then wa shot
her. 1t was q strong battle. and my COM
panion explained to me that had the ducks
not been diverted in their attention to BUSH
ness by our canoe and it's occupants they
would not have settled in the hawk trap.

Him Eat Beef Juice.
Mr.. Kennedy's recent Concord anecdotes
have brought to the Boston transcripts
listeners hopper the following story
about A. Bronson Alcott: Mr.. Alcott was
known to be utterly opposed to the eating
Of meat-a strict vegetarian. Nothing
would arouse his Indignation quicker than
to bring forward the idea that it was the de-
sign of Providence for man to subsist on
animal food. He even refused to Taste of
an egg. Some twelve Or fifteen years ago
he was welcome visitor in many Of the cities
OF the West. His coming was hailed with de-
light Dinners were given and clubs ex-
tended their invitations. He was ready to
talk and others were glad to listen.
During one of these visits he was un-
usually pale and weary. His hostess rallied
him upon his tavorite theory Of vegetable
diet.
Mr.. Alcott, if you would only live as we
do you would be strong and robust" she
said, and the old gentleman, with a placid
smile made his usual reply:
Sand be in danger of becoming brute"
He was connoisseur in the cooking Of
oatmeal, of which be always partook in the
morning. At this time the lady, feeling
sure'that his health was seriously impaired,
resolved to take charge herself OF his break
fast. She sent tor pound Of beef had it
slightly cooked, the juice extracted and
well stirred into dish Of oatmeal. Mr..
Alcott ate with unusual relish and dis
coursed eloquently upon the virtue Of grain
that waved in the sun and air. The next
morning the same dish was repeated, and
throughout his stay he partook Of the pud
ding and beef juice.
1t was noticeable that he gained rapidly
in health and flesh, and became thoroughly
satisfied with the Western climate. Before
he left he remarked:
"Your oatmeal has been very strength
ening. You must tell me just how it is
made, and ! must take away package ct
the meal''
"Mr. Alcott" was the reply, 's there is
genius in good cooking, and it Is hard to
impart it. Only come again and you will
find the dish equally pa!atable."
Some days after he had returned home,
rested and refreshed, Mrs. r. related the
story in great glee to her own club.

Discovery of. AN Odd Coin.

A curious coin was recently dug UP near
Bayshore, L. I. No one seems to know its
value or what the designs mean. The coli.
is Of copper, about the size Of an old-fasll.
Toned copper cent On one side it has the
legend, Limited States of America
on the outside edge Of the coin. Inside
this is the typical laurel wreath, and in
this circle the words, Liberty, 1885
The other side Of the coin is entirely
strange. The kneeling figure Of woman,
with upifted hands, from which fall the
links Of q chain. Around the figure are the
words: sam Not Woman and Sister.

Swiss Scholars Wear Slippers,

In one of the cantons of Switzerland the
public educational authorities celebrate the
approach Of the wet season by providing
each Of the young scholars with pair OF
slippers, which the children bring With
them in the morning and wear indoors dur.
ing the day, while their damp boots are be-
ing dried at the fire. Thus the chances Of
their catching cold are reduced to mini
mum, and the result is, Of course, greater
comfort to the youngsters, much reliea
from anxiety on the part Of the parents
and, it may be assumed, corresponding
Regularity in school attendance.
