A Plucky Lad.
The San Jose (Cal.) Argus of a re
cent issue says : On Thursday morning
about four o’clock a young man who
lives with F. J. Wilson, about two
miles from San Jose, was awakened by
the opening of the door of his sleeping
apartment by some one who, finding the
room occupied, hastily closed tho door
and retreated. The boy, who is about
seventeen years of age and a cousin
of Mrs. Wilson, instantly arose and,
going to his valise, got a long and sharp
birk knife, and with this in his hand
descended the stairs. :* Upon entering a
room the door of which opened into the
hall near the foot of the stairs, he was
confronted by a large and powerful man,
who at once drew a largo knife and
sprang at him. Standing his ground
firmly, the boy met the attack, and as
the murderous knife descended threw up
his arms, striking the man’s wrist and
knocking the weapon from his hand.
Following his advantage, the boy
plunged his own knife to the hilt in the
robber’s body, whereupon he ran from
the room, followed by the defender. In
an adjoining room the young fellow
picked up a "un, and running out into
the yard, wh .-e the wounded intruder
had gone in his endeavor to escape, he
tried to shoot him as he ran, but the
gun missed fire. Returning to the
house, he was met by two more ruffians
who has just descended the stairs,
doubtless alarmed by the noise and mak
ing a hurried retreat. R using the gun,
the gallant fellow brought it down with
crushing force upon the defenceless
head of one of the marauds, knocking
him down and breaking the gun stcck
short off, while the other villain ran past
him and disappeared around tho corner
of the house. Recovering his senses in
a moment, the fellow with the broken
head sprang to his feet and darted off,
leaving the hero of the occasion master
of the situation.

CONGRESSIONAL SUMMARY.
1 passed Tfi? Senate bill authorising tbe
Ubbc printer to purchase material in the open
iet was passed .77 A report was made from
the judiciary committee that the arrest of Rep
resentative Smalft of Sonth Carolina, is not a
breach of the privileges of the House. Ad
journed.^
After the introduction of a number of bills,
including one reducing the number of Repre
sentatives in Congress to 150. Mr. Baker, of
Indiana, moved to suspend the rules, and
adopt a resolntion declaring that no subsidy in
any form should be granted to corporstlons in-
gaging iu private enterprises. A motion to ad
journ was immediately made, which was re
jected by 24 to 230 The anti-subsidy resolu
tion was then adopted by yeas 174, nays 85
Mr. Ewing, of Ohio, moved to suspend the
rules, and concur in the Senate resoluticn
known as the “ Matthews pilver resolntion,”
for the payment of United States bonds, priu
cipal and interest, in sil er and gold. The

the House adjourned.
Mr. Butler, of Massachusetts, presented the
petition of 534 citizens of Lowell against the
passage of the silver bill. He explained that
those gentlemen were men of intelligence, men
whose voices should be heard. They b lieved
that the passage of the silver bill would be de
structive to their interests. Unfortunately,
while representing them, he differed from them
in opinion, and, differing in opinion, he must
follow his own convictions, however much he
regretted that difference. He desired to have
the test. If he were wrong, he should rev ret
the act mo r e than any act of his life. Like
Luther, ho could not do otherwise, God help
him ! Differing from them ho would not dare
t* follow his own ccnvictiors \iere it not that
he knew that they as laboring men, in common
with other laboring men could not by any pos
sibility be any worse off than they were now,
and any change would be for their benefit.
He also presented the memorial of the Norfolk
conference of Unitarian and other Chris'ian
churches at Walpole, Mass., declaring that
honesty was Ihe vital part of religion, and pro
testing against the passage of tho Bland silver
bill. Tho petitions were referred and Mr. But
ler continued : “ Mr. Speaker, will you be kind
enough to send me the Bible from your desk ?’’
After searching for the passage ho desir-vi,
amid great laughter, Sir. Butler seot to the
clerk's desk and had read the passage from the
second chapter of St. John, which describes
Chi ist driving the money changers from the
temple and saying to them : “ Make not my
Father’s house a house of merchandise.” Mr.
Butler— 4 ’ After that reproof, I have no fur
ther word to say.” The bill granting an
American register to a foreign built ship for
tbe purposes of the Woodruff scientific expedi
tion was passed, and the House adjourned.

A Chib of Turtle Eaters.
It is said that a man who doesn’t stand
six feet high, and who hasn’t a stronger
corporation than a modern savings-bank,
is a very small gun, indeed, in tho Ho
boken Turtle Club. This club is a so
ciety of solid men with no nonsense
about them, whose motto is: “As we
journey through life, let us live by the
way.” Gen. Stevens, the progenitor of
the well-knowu Stevens family, of Ho<
boken, N. J., who have since been re
lated by marriage to the Stevens Battery
aud the Stevens Castle, was the founder
of the club in 1796. The President, Mr.
Amaziah L. Ashman, is known as one of
the ablest turtle-destroyers in the coun
try. Ho stands something over six feet
in height, and many annual successions
of turtles have given him the proportion
of an alderman of the very old school.
It is a legend cherished by the club that
the institution was started by Gen.
Stevens as a means of ridding his estate
of the turtles which had lured scores of
chickens to destruction. He was re
markably successful iu his selection of
great eaters ; and by keeping them at
work several days in every year, he at
last rid the neighborhood of his shores
of the burglarious turtles. From this
humble beginning the club has grown
till it numbers several hundred members
and has upon its roll some of the best-
known men in New York. A grand
dinner given by the club the other night
suggested these reminiscences to a New
York Times reporter.
Colton in Woolen Fabrics.
Ravel out the suspected cotton fibre
from the wool and apply flame. The
cotton will bum with a flash, the wool
will curl up, carbonize, and emit a
burned, disagreeable smell. Even to the
naked eye the cotton is noticeably dif
ferent from the filaments of wool, aud
under the microscope this difference
comes out strongly. Tho cotton is a
flattened, more or less twisted band,
having a very striking resemblence to
hair, which, in reality it is ; since, in
the condition of elongated cells, it lines
the inner surface of the pod. The wool
may be recognized at once by tho zig
zag transverse markings on its fibers.
The surface of wool is covered with
these furrowed and twisted fine cross
lines, of which there are 2,000 to’4,000 in
an inch. On this structure depends its
felting property, Finally, a simple aud
very striking chemical test may bo ap
plied. The mixed goods are unravelled,
a little of the cotton fibre put into one
dish and the wool into another, and a
drop of strong nitric acid added. The
cotton will be little or not at all affected;
the wool, on the contrary, will be
changed to a bright yellow. The color
is due to the development of a picrate.—

Gunpowder in * Base Ball.
In the district school at Logtown,
Y., are a number of boys who hj
played at “ catch ” with base-balls
ing school hours. Joseph Van,
the teacher, finally began the cor
tion of all balls he found in pos
of his scholars. On a recent We
he took one_from a boy named^Hmam,
aged ten years, and threw^y in thc-
stovo. On the next Fnday the boy took
another ball t«f school, and played with
it againsj Jjlie rules. The teacher seized
it, and was about to pat it in the stove,
when the manner of the boy and others,
and the unusual size and weight of the
ball, aroused his suspicions, and he
placed it in his desk. Subsequently he
took the ball apart, and found that in
side a thin covering of leather and yarn
was a tightly-sealed tin box filled with
powder. The teacher says that the
quantity of powder would have been
sufficient not only to have blown the
stove into atoms, but would have brought
the small school building about their
heads. When he took the ball, a large
number of small scbolai.i were in class
near the stove.
Did They Enjoy the Feast?
The horse is perhaps the noblest ani
mal in the world, and most people like
the horse. Paris is very fond of horses
Her citizens love the horse—to eat. A
Parisian is endeavoring to introduce the
eating of eqnines into England, and has
begun by giving a sort of one-horse
dinner to the correspondents of all the
London dailies. The boys liked the
feast first-rate, as it probably was the
first free lunch they had had for some
time; but they didn’t like the salad as
ranch as might have been expected.
The salad was made of oil taken from
horses’ hoofs. The correspondents made
a strong pull and managed to get
through with dinner, in which every
thing was manufactured from horse,
even the radish. It is not stated
whether they suffered afterwards from
nightmare or not.—Detroit Free Press.

Though we would by no means bo under

multitudes of instances when it is neither

Caution to the Public.
To avoid imposition, purchasers of Waltham Watches
will observe that eve.y genuine Watch, whether go’d or
silver, bears our own trade mark ou both case and
movements.
Gold cases are stamped “A. W. Co.” and guarantee
certificates accompany them. Silver cases are stamped
“Am. Watch Co. f Waltham, Mass., Coin Silver," or
“Am. Watch Co., Waltham, Mass., Sterling Silver,"
according to qu lity, and are accompanied by guaran
tee certificate signed R. 15. Robbins, Treasurer. The
name “ Waltham " is plainly engraved upon all move
ments, ^respective of other distinguishing marks.
This caution is rendered necessary by reason of the
fact that our cases are frequently separated from cur
movements and put upon worthless movements of other
makers, and vice, vt-rsa, thus atfecting injuriously the
performance of the Watches and vitiating our guaran

from tho Preface to the Nkw Method.
“ Becoming at length satisfied of the L-uU.

mined, if possible, to remedy the defects.
Profiting by the experience and advice of the

Bleeding at the Lungs.
Pcinam, Conn., March 20, 1809.
Gentlemen—I avail mwit of thiaopn rtunity to uay a
worn in bf*halt of DR. WISTAR’S BALSAM Ob WILD
CHKRRY, which I have made uto of in my family for
several years, and always with the most benefic al
results. My wife being of delicate habits has always
been troubled with a hard, dry, hacking cough, when
ever taking a little cold, and lias employed various
specifics without obtaining any relief, until prevailed
upon to test the Virtues ot W 1ST A K'* BALSAM, the
effect of which has been truly ast< nishing.
More than a year since a young man belonging in this
place was taken with bleeding at the lungs, in connec
tion with a most severe cough, and was finally given
over to die by our best physicians, and it was evident to
aU that consumption was claiming him as a victim.
Learning the e facts my wife sent him a bottle of the
BALSAM, which betook, and in due time, to the great
astonishment of his friends.was a* hia accustomed occu
pation, snatched, aa it wore, from the very jaws of
death. In many other cases we have administered the
BALSAM to the consumptive, and always with the best
of success. These statements are simple facta, which
can be vouched for i*t «ny time by calling on me at my
store. I remain, yours truly.
