v . "ftouND PANCKS."-Speaking of
"round dnnces," as waltzes, polkas,
etc., ar? culled, the Now York Sunda?/
Times says:
.'There certainly isa familiarity of
approach between tho sexes, in a
round danoo, which is not defensible
on tho point of strict modesty; there
is a loosening of proper reservo, and
a personal contiguity which, though
not exactly indelicate in themselves,
is eminently so in its suggestiveness.
Under no other circumstances would
a married man view tho not with coua
Slacency, if a stranger, barely intro
nced to his wife, should place his
arm affectionately around her waist,
lay her hand caressingly on his own
shoulder, and go around tho room
with her aa if -wholly unconscious of
tho presence of others. Wc may well
question, therefore, whether the act
becomes less offensive to a nice sense 1
of propriety because it is accom- j
panicd with music. Wo havo kuowu
moro than one Indy who, tim moment
she wedded, refused to walt/, with
any man but her husbaud, und we
still know many a mau who will allow
his wife to waltz, polka, etc., with no
man bat himself. Perhaps their
prudery ia excessive, and perhaps
not; but, in this ago of current
licentiousness, ladies who value their
self-respect cannot be too circum?
spect, and men who properly estimate
domestic peace prefer to avoid even
the appearance of things evil, if evil
only in their mental associations. A
?virtuous woman's purity of mind is
something too sacred to be treated
with indifference or levity."
A SUSPECTED MAN INNOCENT.-It
will be remembered that on tho night
of tho 31st of October two men, ac?
cused of perpetrating a robbery at
Greenwood, ?were taken by a mob
out,of the jail at Franklin, carried to
the edge of the town, and there
huug. This summary execution of
Lynch law was rendered still more
horrible by tho brutality of the mob,
who refused to allow tho men time
for a short prayer. Several promi?
nent citizens of Franklin remon?
strated with tho infuriated crowd, but
vainly; and the two men were mur?
dered, with no more reason than so
many dogs would have boen. It haa
now transpired that one of tho vic?
tims was entirely innocent, and a
number of men composing tho mob
aro to be indicted und tried for mur?
der. If the evidence convicts them,
we hope a severo punishment will bo
meted out, an it is about time that
LIJUOU law should be stopped-that
people should learn that tho law is a
solemn thing, not to be meddled
with by everybody. ,
{indianapolis Herald, March G.
Chicago is going to havwthe largest
and most elegant railway depot in
the world. It is to bo built entirely
of stone, by tho threo leading rail?
way companies centreing in that city,
wUl be over 1,300 foot long and
will cost, when completed, nearly
$2,000,000.
NEW THICK nv A WIZARD.-Tho
Meadvillo (Ohio) Republican give? tho
following explanation of tho reported
suicido of Anderson, tho magician:
By later advices it appears that tho
message was ouly a ruse to decoy the
happy "hirds" into tho hands of the
"fowler," and it did. The guilty
"twain" took the back track, and at
Middletown, Ohio, behold thu un?
fortunate husband, who had (by re?
port) murdered bis little child and
blown out his own brains, appeared
before the astonished couple, and
took a seat in tho omnibus opposite
them. The scene can bo better im?
agined than described. Suffice that
tho Professor directed hus'would-be
successor to fork over what stamps
bc might bavo belonging to the late
Mr. A.; wberoupou, as report bath
it, bo shelled out some $3,500. The
Professor seems to have been quite
satisfied with the blood already shed,
as be did not proceed to blowout tho
brains of thc man who bad run away
with bis wife. Tho unfortunate wo?
man passed through this city, going
East, on ber way borne, it is boped a
wiser and better woman. As for tho
Professor, bo bas performed a little
piece of sligbt-nf-band which bas
eclipsed anything laid down in this
"posture."
Mrs. Anderson is quito good look?
ing, and young. She appeared great?
ly dejected when the news reached
bur of tho death of ber bnsbaud and
child, and as she returned on ber way
East, she was a forlorn object. She
is cast off by ber husband and bas
been abandoned by tho graceless
scamp that lured bor away.
A RIVAL TO NEW YORK.-The first j
prnotical steps have just been taken
by our neighbors of Hudson County,
N. J., for thc consolid?t ion of all tho
cities and villages in that territory.
This matter has been talked of for
years, and, a few days since, by a
unanimous vote of the Board of
Chosen Freeholders of the County, a
committee of eight was appointed to
report upon a plan. The idea is to
make a great metropolis of all the
cities, villages and settlements, East
of tho Huckeusack Biver and North
as far as Fort Leo-being a stretch of
at least twelve miles along tho shores
of tho Hudson and the Bay of New
York. This territory includes now a
population of at least 120,000 souls,
which certainly is a good nucleus for
tho formation of a city.
I Afc io York Times.
Ono of tho most delightful places
in tho world to livo in must be
Bianco County, Texas. Though tho
registered vote of Blauco is 112 white
and eight colored, yet tho District
Clerk, in making return of tho cases
of crime in tho County since Juno,
18G5, puts down "eighty-three per?
sons indicted for murder," "five
assault with inteut to kill," "twenty
robbery," "twenty-seven theft of
stock" nud a fair show of other
crimes. The eighty-three indicted
for murder bavo been thus disposed
of: "ten acquitted, forty indictments
quashed, thirty-one continued for
service, two dismissed. Tho Texas
paper which contains these official
returns quietly remarks: "The num?
ber of murders probably accounts for
tho small registration of voters."
HORRIBLE DEPRAVITY OF A WIFE.
It is known that a female who bas
hitherto enjoyed tho reputation of a
virtuous lady, the wifo of oue of tho
wealthy citizens of Detroit, gave
birth, on the Otb instant, to twins
bearing indubitable evidence of ne?
gro paternity. Thc. pnhliealiOu ui
names and particulars will be delayed
until it is knowu what steps tiio in?
jured husband intends taking.
Minnesota recently had a snow
storm so furious and blinding, that it
is said that ne.vertil engineers on tho
St. Paul and Pacific Railroad ran
their trains past stopping stations
without seeing them; and in fact,
one engino driver had gone fivo miles
beyond, before ho discovered bis
error. It was impossible at times to
see five feot from the locomotive.
That venerable belle of Baltimore,
Madame Bonapnrte, widow of Je?
rome, preserves her faco from
wrinkles by abstaining from both
laughter and tears. She also nightly
encases her taper Augers in metallic
thimbles, and has done so for tho last
forty years. "Consequently, " says
Jenkins, "her hand retains much of
its original symmetry, and the decay
of her charms is as sweet and as
faultless as tho falling leaves of tho
rose."
Bankok, the capital of tho Empire
of Siam, is said to bo ono of tho most
wonderful cities in tho world. It
stands on a broad river, on either
sido of which, moored in regular
streots and alleys, extending ns far
as tho oyo can reach, are upwards of
70,000 neat little houses, each house
floating on a compact raft of bam?
boos, and tho whole intermediate
?paco of tho river is one dense mass
of ships, junks and boats of every
conceivable shape, color and size.
REAI>Y-MADK OAS.-lu New Or?
leans, the}' have fomid gos, as good
or bettor than that furnished by the
gas company, at a depth of forty feet
below tho surface of the ground, and
propose to uso it. It is caught in a
tank. They propose to form a joint
stock company, to enable planters
aud all others in that alluvial region
to avail themselves of the discovery.
Tho gas will be fouud anywhere in
the swamp region.
A Gentile paper, published at Salt
Lako City, predicts tbat if the Mor?
mon question is lot alone, tho pro?
gress of civilization will settle it in a
years. It Says: "When the Pacific
Railroad gets out this way; when
men are plenty and women scarce;
how the ruthless invaders will 'gob?
ble lip' tho superfluous wive? aud
leave the disconsolate saints to mourn
besido deserted hearth-stones."
In Poland, recently, there was au
extraordinary shower of meteorolites,
caused by the bursting of a meteor.
The light of tho meteor was visible
for eight seconds, aud thc eye could
follow the direction of the fragments,
and tho places where they fell were
easily discovered tho next morning.
Some of the fragments collected havo
been deposited in the Polish museum
at Varsovie.
A set of bogus lawyers of New
York aro sending circulars over the
country calling attention to thoir
efforts to secure justice to the victims
of gift enterprise swindles, by collect?
ing tho prizes purporting to bo
drawn, but never delivered. They
simply ask their clients to send along
two dollars with their claims, which
will bo promptly followed up to set?
tlement.
Tho heaviest loser by the late great |
fire at Chicago appeared next morn?
ing among the smoking ruins of his
place of business to place thereon
this sign: "Pheonix! Removed to
No. 33 South Water street, on ac?
count of the intense heat!"
Ten years ago, a newsboy gained
control of his business on oue of the
railroads leading from Now York,
and from the proceeds of that busi?
ness has just poid 830,000 for a resi?
dence on tho Hudson.
Tho Vicksburg negroes are de?
veloping great business talent. Ono
of them recently called upon a
debtor, gave him five miuutes to
settle his account, and when that
time had expired, shot him dead.
In a church near Toledo, Ash
Wednesday was celebrated by a wed?
ding, a christening, a fight, and a
??Ucim. Thus ail possible tastes were
consulted.

The vital principle is the motivo power
that keeps tho human engine in motion;
but as beams, pistons, connection pipen,

organs, muscles, tieaueu and all tho com?
pound parts of that marvellous piece of
work called man.
Tho moohanism of tho body requires to
bo repaired and strengthened just aa much
as thc mechanism employed to grind corn,
or spin cotton, or woavo cloth. Steam
cannot drive a broken shaft, or impel a j
drum or a wheel that is out of gear; nei?
ther can the vital forco act through a |
paralyzed limb, or an inert organ.
Aro you wearing out? Do you feel that
any ono of your organs-your Btomach,

essential part of your organization, falters
in its work? If so, repair tho damage
with the moet powerful, yot harmless, of

"beginning of thw end"-that thc climax
of all weakness is a universal paralvais of
