WAYS OF WOMEN. They Are Contrary Beings if These Statements Are True. The avervge woman stays in the house or pleasant days and yisits twenty-three stores in an afterneon | when the wind’s speed has to be taken with a She will rail for twenty against the barbarous fashion of 1 the: ¥ ve years boring the ears she will punch holes through her ear lobes with a darniug needle if there is a ghost of a chance of getting a pair of diamond ear rings. She will take two hours to dress and run back into the house three times if she is going over to Minnie’s to spend the afternoon; and the next day, when she has a sudden chance to go to San Fra rill pack a toothbrush and her purse in her pocket, button her cloak and gloves on the street car, and be at the sta tion three-quarters of an hour ahead of the train. She spills coffee on the clean table- cloth and smiles sweetly—when there is company; and then she glares like a demon if William Hen- ry lays the carving knife on the ta- ble when they are alone. She carefully mends a rent a quar ter of an inch long in her gloves, and goes for days withatear two feet long in her petticoat. She will put sealskin buttons on a plush sacque, and expects the whole world to believe that it is real fur. She can hold forty-seven pins in her mouth and give an order to the grocery boy that will fill the market basket and the milk pail. She laughs because the Smith girls wear old fashioned bonnets. and cries because she knows of some poor boy who cannot afford a winter overcoat. She will arrange a silk scarf over # picture frame until a man’s eye _will bulge out with admiration, but she can’t tie a plain, ordinary neck- tie to eave her life. She will walk up street in the rain to save a street car fare and then she will give a quarter of a dollar to the first beggar she meete. She will go over every carpet in the house with a damp cloth anda brush and then go down town with 8 black spot on her nose. She will give a good course of lectures upon the history, general appearance and people of the Roman empire and then she would get lost if she tried to go from Buffalo to At- tica without an escort. She will read an essay on our in- human treatment of the red man and then she locks the door if she sees a sassafras vender coming in at the side gate. She will fry beefsteak and expect the man of her choice to eat it. She is altogether a lovable crea- ture and she knows it.—Buffalo Ex- press. The Baby Had to be Attended To. An amusing scene happened in the Sullivan county, New York,court house the other day. The wife of one of the parties to a suit was on the witness stand and had intrusted her baby to the care of another woman, who was attending it below. _The child became restless after awhile and announced its desire to see its mother in tones of unmistak- able pathos, which might be traced to hunger. After trying in vain to quiet the child, the woman came up the stairs and into court, the baby all the time yelling at the top of its lungs. Judge Thornton jumped up and cried: “Take that child out of the court.” The woman addressed heeded not the command, but con- tinued to advance, and ‘holding the youngster out to its mother over the head of a prominent lawyer, ex- claimed with fire flashing from her eyes: “Court or no court this child has got to be attended to.”—Bostor Journal.

The Deadly Powder Keg. Cixcrsnati, O., July 16.—Yester- day afternoon at King’s powder mills, twenty-eight miles east of this city on the Little Miami railroad, two empty cars being sidetracked were rolled against one containing 500 kegs of powder. As the cars struck a terrific explosion took place, followed immediately after by the explosion of another car coutain- ing 800 kegs. The effect of this gigantic double explosion was horri- ble. A great hole wan ploughed in the ground and buildings all around were blown into fragments or badly wrecked. William Frauly, a brake- man,must have been blown to.atoms, as no trace of his body has sirce been found. Five others, supposed to have been employes of the powder company, were instantly killed. The number injured is very large, and includes twelve or fifteen girls in the Peters cartridge factory and resi- dents in the cottages adjacent. The powder mill and cartridge factorv took fire and burned to the ground. Arehef train with a large party of surgeons on board was sent from | this city and the work of rescue is being rapidly prosecuted. So far ten dead bodies have been recovered and more than thirty are known to have been seriously injured. What Killed His Town. From the New York Sun. At Ft.

July 16.—Charles Duboise, the oldest engineer in the service of the Louisville and Nash- ville railroad, and well known throughout the country, died here yesterday of consumption. He was in many respects aremarkable man, and for 21 years had served the com- pany in the capacity of engineer. He was a perfectly temperate man. He was highly regarded by the superior officers and when there was any specially fast running to be done he was always one of the first to be thought of A few years ago he hauled a special train of officials from Loutsville to Nashville, 186 miles, in two hours and 50 minutes, jor better than mile » minute. When asked afterward how he made the run, he said: “I got in the cab, shut my eyes, pulled open the throt- tle, and the rest was with God.” In all his service he never had a wheel off the track, and he was proud to say that he never received as much jas a scratch while in his cab. He leaves a large family in comfortable | circumstances. —St. Louis Republic. a Leprosy in New York.

The two children, Dick and Tony, were left on the farm in Camp- bell county, and after the war Mrs. mother, had Dick bound tu her, and raised bim man. Dick found no difficulty in making his way in the world. A year ago he was working in the old mills near the United States barracks. The people will recall to mind the fright- up until he became a ful accident on the Central railroad at the time, which, it was said, was caused by the cross-tie being placed on the track, but which is now said was caused by a defect in the track. Two men were killed. A so called detective arrested Dick, charging him with the crime. He was thrown into prison. Dick protested his in nocence, but was placed in jail to await trial. Tom Latham, who was a 13-year old boy when the little slave was brought to the Campbell county home, sat in his law office in Atlanta and read of the arrest of Dick, and although 21 years had elapsed since the slaves were freed, Col. Latham had not lost track of the boy whom his mother had raised. Heat once set about to get the unfortunate de- gro released. The richest client never had a more faithful attorney. When the case was called Col. L. demanded a trial. The detective disappeared. The demand was promptly entered in the minutes, and at the next term Col. Latham agnin demanded a trial. The de fendant having twice demanded trial and the prosecution not being ready, he was again a free man. He had not only lost his time but he had laid in jail to the great injury of nis health, and had suffer- ed in reputation by reason of his arrest and the publications incident thereto. Having got his client safely ac quitted of the charge that had been brought against him, Col. Latham set out to get still further justice for the negro So he to day filed a suit against the Central Railroad and Banking Company,setting forth the facts and asking the court for $10,000 damages. » | 48 320 conveyed to 'W.

Speak- ing of his case this afternoon he has given “It was my intention to give ‘my- self up, but I had a mission to per- form and I tried hard to do it. What that mission was I decline to Had I accomplished my end, however, I intended to commit sui- cide. It was an easy matter for me to escape, and had I desired to do so T could have beea in Canada or California by this time. ‘ll my trouble I lay to ga:ntling and socie ty. That's what ruined me. I lost heavily in New York and sought to regain it. You know tiie rest. God knows I never sought to drag any woman into the case. I'm dead to all my lady friende, and will never claim friendship with any of my old male friends unless they desire it. IfI ever get out of this I'll commence a new life. I'll take off my fine clothes and put on coarse ones, aud work like a man. Society is all bosh. I realize it all too well now.” As White finishished he complete- ly broke down and sobbed like child. “There is only one thing more I desire to say,” said White, as the re- porter rose to go. “I understand some newspapers have attacked my lineage, calling me the son of a ne- gyo whitewasher. This 1s a life. I'm a great deal whiter than they are. However, time will prove that what say is so; ank as for those journa’s it is my purpose to sue them one and all for libel.” Say. The estimate of the population of the country made by Census Super- intendent Porter is 65,500,000. This, however, can not be much bet- ter than a guess, because not one of the States has been completely counted yet. There is still a strong probability that the full returns will show an aggregate of at least 65,- 000,000. A prominent candidate for con- gress in Northern Georgia rides to “meeting” in °an ox cart. This is thought to be mightily in his favor.
