-M, ?om lyiheTThe Fate of Two Men in Virginia and Louisiana. Taken Forcibly from the Jails by i Crowds and Hanged. A few days since a young colored man named Dick Walker met a daughter of a respectable Charlotte couuty farmer in the road near Keysville, Va., and attempted to assault her. He drew a knife and told her if she made any noise he would kill her. She screamed, and an old colored man went to her assistance. Walker, | baffled in his purpose, ran off. The old man hastened to the nearest telegraph station and gave a full description of Walker, who was subsequently captured near Chase City. He was identified by the young lady ana tbe old man and committed to jail. At night fifty citizens surrounded the jail and demanded the keys from the jailor. The latter refused, but was overpowered, and Walker taken out and hanged to a tree. At about the sains time of the foregoing occurrence a difficulty took plate betweeu Major W. P. Greene, a prominent sugar planter of St. Bernard Parish, La., and a colored laborer named Robert Smith, in which Mr. Greene was shot through the abdomen aud killed. Major Greene, armed with a pistol, had gone in search of the laborer, who, in the early morning, after some words had knocked him down with a ~?1x fpi.^ fr* nn pjvfcinc singiei/ree. jl.hu .uu,ui ><^uu w ?... ~ 0 house where he was informed Smith was, and as he opened the door.

The latter returned the fire, discharging his weapon once, but without effect The laborer then ran oil'and the wounded man was taken to his residence, where he lingered until twelve o'clock at night, when he died. Smith was captured by citizens and turned over to the Sheriff, who confined him in the iron cage of the .iaiL Major Greene was very popular, aud when the news of his death spread in the neighborhood, it was evident that Smith would l?e summarily dealt with. The next morning a mixed crowd of whites and blanks rapidly assembled at the jail, determined to avenge the Major's death. An attack was at once made upon the jail by the crowd. The strong doors were soon forced, the iron cage battered in. and At- i. 4. o u r> tlia hnrtrlq me next muiaoui oiunu nm ui of the avengers.

The New York City Grand. Jury Denounces Boycotting. The New York Grand Jury has brought indictments against the leaders of the Third avenue horse-car strikers, a number of boycotters, and others accused of conspiring to disturb peaceful occupations. On the last day of the Grand Jury's service, Foreman Joseph H. Brown, after handing some indictments . to the clerk, arose, faced City Recorder Smyth, and in a loud voice read a presentment. Suc-h papers are usually filed and not read aloud. The presentment charges that Police Justice Welde, by discharging some of Mrs. Gray's boycotters, three men accused of carrying ''sandwich" signs before th9 store of Cavanagh, Sandford & Co., and sixteen boycotters against whom Mr. Theiss, of Fourteenth street, made complaint, had caused the boycotters to have their own way for nine days until action was taken by the Grand Jury. Mr. Theiss, the Grand Jury say, was obliged not only to employ the union men, but to pay S1,OCJO to cover the expense oi tne boycott, j. ne presentment continues: "It appears evident to the Grand Jury, representing as they do the law-abiding citizens of this county, that great dereliction of duty and greater ignorance of law were manifested on the part of this recognized legal authority of our police. Otherwise we cteim that our city would not have been disgraced for a period of nine days after those decisions of Justice Welde by this nefarious conspiracy against the rights of the people. The Grand Jury regret to reflect upon any , officerof justice and,notwithstanding the opin- I Jf T TIT.! _ J.1 t_ I ion 01 uusuce vveiue, a luui uugu e^Luuiiuttuuu convinces them that this so-called boycott is an accursed exotic, and they urge every effort of our legislators, the bench and the bar, the pres* of the land and every American citizen to aid in exterminating this hydra-headed monster,dragging its loathsome length across the continent, sucking the very life-blood of our trade and commerce, equally baneful to the employers and the employed.' Recorder Smyth in discharging the Grand Jurors, said: "I concur with the Grand Jury and I believe that the presentmeat, so well prepared, will be of great service and I shall take pains, as far as I can, that each and every Police Justice and police captain shall have the benefit of what the Grand Jury has said."

In many cities on the 1st inst. workingmen, through their organizations, demanded a reduction in the hours of labor to eight " % ' * 1 3 hours a day, witn me same pay tii uuu uccu given for ten hours. In Chicago occurred the greatest demonstration of all, about 40,000 workinginen striking for eight hours a day. Some Chicago manufacturers acceded to the demands of the men. while others closed their doors and declared they would not reopen them until the situation improved. Mauv New Yoik workinginen took a holiday on the 1st to discuss the final presentation ctf their demand for shorter Uour.i of labor, or to arrange for their participation in the short-hour mass meeting in Union square at night. The open air meetiug in Union Square at night was participated in by every trade organization in the city, the number of workingmen taking part being estimated at all the way from 20,000 to 40,000. The various organizations marched to the meeting place with bands of -"-J fwiyiinnrnnmoc JinH WPFfl flfl IliUMU OilU mau^ttivuvivo ?"v? dressed in several languages from different stands. At St. Louis in some cases the employers conceded the demands of the workmen, and in other instances there was a flat refusal. In most cases immediate action was not taken, decision being ressrved and conferences asked. At Boston the Trades Union of Carpenters, the Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of America, the Amalgamated Society of Carpenters and Joiners, and the Plumbers' Union. 5,000 men in all, resolved to demand eight hours. The Boston Master Builders' Association, 200 strong, unanimously adopted a manifesto condemning the action of the workmen, laying the whole blame on the labor unions, and declaring that the demands could not be complied with without disaster to the business and workingmen both, and that they would close up business rather than submit to any interference. The 3,000 employes of the various breweries in Miiwnnkf*? Wis., demanded an increase in wages. At Cincinnati about 500 employes of furniture manufacturers and 100 employes of the Brunswick & Balke billiard table manufacturers, went out in consequence of a refusal to grant ten hours' pay for eight hours' work. In other branchas of industry, while there is a general feeling in favor of an eight hour day, nothing was done toward enforcing the system. At a meeting of the Executive Committee of the United Pianomakers of America, held in New York, it was resolved to request all workmen employed in the piano trade not to work longer than eight hours a day, the question of wages to be arranged between employes and employers. At Pittsburg, Penn., the Cabinetmakers' Union, 6.0 strong, inaugurated a strike for eight hours' labor. They demanded the same wages for eight hours1 work as thev have been receiving for ten. The employers said they could not accede to the demand. The Pittsburg stone-cutters and bakers also moved for a reduction in the hours of labor. The brass workers, however, issued a circular to their employers saying that they had come to the conclusion that to demand the eight hour system at present would be unwise and embarrassing, and they instead demanded a half holiday on Saturday. From other cities and towns come similar reports to the above of demands of some kind or another by workingmen?geuerally for a reduction in the working hours. PROMINENT PEOPLE.

A wedding was considered a poor affair without the braying of trumpets, beating of drums and clashing of cymbals. There is nothing new under the sun. Commercial travelers, called circitorcs, were employed by certain Roman manfacturers and tradesmen to carry round and dispose of the goods they made. While making excavations in a ruin on the Appian Way, near Rome, three twoDrons silver forks were found, which would indicate that the old Romans, at least, did not eat with their lingers. The proportions of the different colors in eyes among the people of Italy is thus estimated by Prof. Ma-itegazza: Black eyes, twenty-two per cent.; chest nut, sixty-four; blue, eleven, and gray eyes, three per cent. "Speaking of extravagance in dress," writes a correspondent, "the most expensively-dressed man I ever saw was an African Chief on the Golden Coast. His wives had anointed him thoroughly with palm oil, and then powdered him from head to foot with gold dust. You never saw in your iife a man got up so utterly regardless of expense." The oldest student in Yale college is Porter Sherman, of the senior class, who is back, after an absence of twenty years, to finish his course. Mr. Sherman occupies the same room in a house on High street that he did just twenty years ago. He is a conspicuous figure about college, and looks more like one of the old professors than a student. He hails now from Kansas. From the earliest period the owl has been considered a bird of ill-omen, and Pliny tells us how on one occasion even Rome itself underwent a lustration because an owl strayed into the capitol. He represents it also as a funereal bird, a mnnctpr nf t.Vip nicrht. the verv abomina tion of human kind. Vivgil describes its death howl from the top of the temple by night, a circumstance introduced as a precursor of Dido's death. Ovid, too, constantly speaks of this bird's presence as an evil omen; and, indeed, the same notions respecting it may be found among the writings of most of the ancient poets. A Club for Men and Women. From a Southern exchange we take the following dscription of a club whose plan seems to be somewhat of an innovation to all: "Norfolk, Virginia, has a new social and literary club called the Northern Club. It was established about three months ago by a joint stock company composed of both Northern and Southern men. They have two handsomely furnished rooms in the Academy of Music, one a large, long room fitted up roitVi ? cr.inrl lihrarv and a ffood suonlv "*v" ~ ~J o 1 i f of the best magazines and newspapers of the day; handsome crayon portraits of "Whittier, Longfellow, and Bryant adorn the wall. The ladies' room adjoining furnishes a comfortable and retired place for ladies wishing to read and amuse themselves with games; chess, backgammon, dominoes, and all such games are provided for their pleasure. Yearly members are admitted, and an entertainment is given to the members of the club every two weeks. The principal object of the club, however, is the entertainment of strangers coming to the city. Such visitors are extended the free use of the rooms and all the privileges enjoyed by members. The feature which commends this club so strongly is that it is as much of a n'fmi'in'c r>lnh n.Q if. i<? a man's Mr;n are not invited to leave their families to spend evening.^ but can take their wives and daughters and enjoy social intercourse amid refined and elevating influences in company with them.

That thieves are unusually audacious in Mexico is shown by the following extract from a City of Mexico letter to the Bost on Herald: The Raymond party here were cautioned by somebody not to expose their watch chains, and some of the gentlemen buttoned up their cutaways in the streets, and this was not an unwise precaution, for the local pickpocket, when he does operate, is most ingenious. But then their are sharp pickpockets on Washington street or Broadway. An elderly lady of the party had her purse taken at Leon, but she missed it ins!antly, overtook the thief, a woman, and charged her in vigorous Saxon with the theft, - ? whereupon the woman slyly dropped the pocketbook on the ground and innocently pointed it out. About ten years ago the German Ambassador, walking down the southwestern sidewalk of the Alameda, very much like the Tremont Street Mali of the Common, was seized at dusk, by two men, each grasping an arm in a very film manner. A third man came in front, and walking backward kept a dagger pointed to the Ambassador's throat, while one of the other men jabbed a poniard just far enough into the plenipotentiary's side to give him a sensation of what might happen. Then the man in front went through the Kaiser's representative. taking all his money, his watch and rings. The whole scene was enactcd right within twenty feet of a coach stand, and nothing but the boldness of the rascals saved them. But, of course, the Ambassador did not thinkjt prudent to make any outcry. The thieves were never caught. Men Wlio Wear Corsets. "Is it really true that men wear corsets?" is a question that has been asked again and again. A representative of the New York Mail and Express spent an hour in a manufactory of surgical appliances recently, and- in consequence can answer the question intelligently. Men do wear corsets. The reasons for their so doing are, however, various. Some have had spinal troubles in their earlier years, have worn some sort of an appliance for the support of the back, and on growing up require a canvas and whalebone corset in place of the brace. Again, corse's are worn by men to hide some physical defect. They are used also to advantage by men afflicted with obesity. Persons following out-of-door nrmmntions wear them aa a protector ?I against sudden changes of weather. Corsets of this class, however, are made of sheepskin. To believe that the article is ever worn by mankind as a means ot perfecting their forms is a mistake. The contour of a man's physique cannot be beautified by lacing. Besides this, the discomfort of breathing to a man who wears a corset for such a purpose would be such that he would gladly sacrifice his personal appearance to ease. One of Dakota's Advantages. One advantage we have in a prairie country is that it rather shuts off the picnic. We have what we call picnics, sort of rudimentary affairs with no thunder storm in the afternoon, but the genuine Eastern picnic with the young man hanging in the tallest tree by the coat tail while attempting to put up a swing is unknown. At our picnics there are, of course, the same facilities for sitting down and making yourself at home in the custard pie, but our trees are so low that the long, green worm does not get up sufficient momentum when falling down the back of your neck to make it interesting. We hardly think that these advantages in picnics are given the prominence they merit in our immigration pamphets.?Eotdline {Dak.) Bell.

We have nowtha gratifying fact to announca that the process by which nature effects this wonderful change is no longer a mystery to the medical profession, and that the changes brought about in the system under favorable circumstances by Intrinsic causes may be made as certainty and more expeditiously by the use of the proper remedy. In other words, nature is imitated and assisted. Tuberculous matter is nothing more or less than nourishment imperfectly organized. Now, if we can procure the organization of this food material so that through the process of elective affinity it may take its place la the system, we can core the disease. This la just what Piso's Cure for Consumption does. It arrests at ence the progress of the disease by preventing the further supply of tuberculous matter, for while the system is under its influence all nourishment is organized and assimilated. It thus controls cough, expectoration, night-sweats, hectic fever, and ail other characteristic symptoms of Consumption. Many physicians are now using this medicine, ana all write that it comes fully up to its recommendations and makes Consumption on* of the diseases they can readily cure. The forming stage of a disease is always the most auspicious for treatment. This faot should induce persons to resort to the use of Piso's Curs when the cough is first noticed, whether it hss a consumptive diathesis for its cause or not, for this remedy cures all kinds of coughs with unequalled facility and promptness. In coughs from a simple cold, two or three doses of the medicine have been found sufficient to remove the trouble. So in all diseases of the throat and lungs, with symptoms simulating those f Consumption, Pise's Cure is the only infallible remedy. The following letter recommending Piso's Cure for Consumption, is a fair sample of the certificates received daily by the proprietor of this medicine: Albion, N. Y., Dec. ?, 1883.

Hall's Balsam for the Luxes, she began to mend right away. I can say In truth that it teas the means of saving her life. I know of five cases that Dr. Wm. Hall's Balsam has cured, and my mother Is better than she has been for twenty years.' , That TiredFeeing Everybody knows what "that tired feeling"*!s.
