An Eye for an Eye

An Eye for an Eye
 The Biblical injunction, "Wh osoeNer shall smite thee on thy right cheek turn to him the other also" is all right in theory, but in practice the other say ing, An eye for an eve, ;t tooth for a tooth,'' more often obtains This was exemplifed by a fight that occurred yesterday between two negro boys at q frolic Tn Sandy Bottom.
 One of the negroes named Jones, re ceived severe cut on the face, gash- ing his countenance from the corner of his mouth almost to his right ear The negro's assailant managed to make his escape for the time being. Jones was taken to the Cunningham hospital where his severe cut was attended to- requiring several stitches to close the wound. When he was asked as to whether he desired his assailant ar rested. he declared that he did not as he wished to settle the score himself After the gash was bandaged up he left the hospital with the threat thai he would get even with dat nigger' if it took a century. In less than an hour another negro boy came to the hospital with his face cut in almost the same manner that the first negro was slashed It developed that the second negro was Jones' assailant and that with the "eye for an eye" idea in ms nlnu Jones nau WdNldlu HIS OD- ponent and cut him in manner al- most identical with his own injuries.
 No arrests were made but one thinl; is certain, both negToes will live op soup for some time to come.

How to Eat Leather.

The Infamous Captain Morgan and
his piratical crew were sometimes In
tight places at Panama and on one
occasion were reduced to eating their
leathern bags. Some persons" says
one of the company. Exquemelin
Whose narrative is reproduced In 1.-THE
Buccaneers In the West Indies'). "who
never were out of their mothers kitch-
ems may ask how these pirates could
eat, swallow and digest these pieces
Of leather, SO hard and dry. Unto
whom l only answer: That could they
once experiment what hunger, or, rath-
er, famine is. they would certainly find
the manner by their own necessity, as
the pirates did. For these first took
the leather and sliced 1t In pieces. Then
did they beat 1t between two stones
and rub 1t, often dipping 1t In the wa
ter of the river, to render 1t by these
means supple and tender. Lastly, they
scraped off the hair and roasted or
broiled it upon the fire. And being
thus cooked they cut 1t into small NOR
sells and ate 1t, helping II down with
frequent gulps OF water, which by
good fortune they had right at hand"

French Official Red Tsps.

Two men went to Nice lately from
Italy to attend a funeral and took
with them a wreath Of flowers to
which was fastened a silk ribbon bear
ing an inscription. They were In
formed at their destination that they
would have to pay a duty equivalent
to SOS. The mourners protested, say
ing that the wreath was made of nat
ural flowers on which there was no
duty, but they were informed that the
dutlabIe part was the silk and that.
according to the tariff laws, duty must
be collected on the gross weight OF
the memorial emblem. Then the men
agreed to throw the ribbon away, but
this could not be done on French soil,
and so they journeyed back to the
frontier, where they disposed of the
ribbon. boarded a train for Nice with
the ribbonless wreath and arrived too
late for the funeral.
