Jersey justice is proverbial. II we had

of New Jersey, gives an account of the
speedy way a criminal was dealt with. It
savs: “Last Thursday a man at a race
course used brass knuckles in a tight
which he had contrived to get up. Within
twenty-four hours he was arrested, loekd
up, taken to court, tried, sentenced,
shaved, Scoured, clipped, given anew
suit of clothes—in short, had made the
grand tour of station house, court room
and prison, and had learned something
alsiut making shoes or other little use*ful
articles for the State.’’
Yellow back literature leads boys in
this country to huv a pistol and start
West to scalp Indians or play the role of
a cowboy. In France the same sort ol
literature led a boy, the Vico rate lamis
de Torgerie, the heir of one of the oldest
and largest estates in Brittany, to hang
himself, ric had lieen reading accounts
of several hangings, and he took it into
his head to frighten his little sister by an
impromptu illustration of the horrors of
hanging. He slipped the noose about his
neck passed the end ol the rope over the
door „f his father's library, and went
through all the preliminary formalities or
hanging himself. His foot slipped on the
polished oak floor, the rope became jammed
in the hinges of the door and the youngster
was choked to death before assistance
{-cached him.
The Bankers' Convention.
An unusual amount of interest is being
taken in the Bankers'Convention which

A remarkable story i- related in an
Eri*-. Pennsylvania, |x;eial to the New
York 7/*respecting the finding ot a
lung lest paper, upon which deixuids a
vast amount of money. A few weeks
ago, according to the storv. Margaret
Gaunt, aged !; years, died at the above
named pla*-e. .lust before she died she
wrote a letter to a nephew, named Ed
ward l ■aunt, who resides in England, toll
ing him to come to her home and take
possession of valuable family papers. It
seems that the papers which Mrs. Gaunt
had Is-jonged to her great-great-great
graiHlinottier, who was burned
at the stake during the reign of King
.lame 11. ixs-au-*- six* had unwittingly
sheltered James Burton, who was a con
spirator in the Rye lions*; plot. The
name of this three-times removed grand
mother was Elizabeth Gaunt, and it
—***iiis that when the King discovered that
an inmx ent woman had lieen executed
he granted an annual money indemnity to
ELzalx-tli Gaunt’s family. This indemnity
was paid up to 17T. when a branch of the
Gaunt family which had this paper came
to this country. The pa|*er lias lieen
sought for over a century. The nephew.
Edward Gaunt, arrived from England last
Saturday and found the document in
qtiestiou among the papers of his deceased
aunt. The amount due the Gaunts is
alxiut S2,'SS),'SS). Granting that the story
is genuine, it is pretty certain that the
English Government w ill never pay the
money the document calls for.
\Ve shall soon come to believe that there
is very little in history that is true. We
thought that if there was one thing that
we could feel sure alxmt it was that Co
lumbus discovered America. The New
York IForW, however, says that it “seems
that even Columbus must go, t*xi. We
have grow n so accustomed to revere him
as the discoverer of this country that some
thing like a shock is felt at the attempt
now making by the ethnologists of Co|x*n
hagen to prove that the Norsemen made
voyages to this country centuries
before Columbus was born. And yet
these iconoclastic borrowers are mak
ing out a pretty clear case against
Columbus, who, it apiiears, was a sort of
exploring plagairist anil eame across an
old Iceland manuscript of the seventh
century which described this continent
and gave him iiis cue. It makes one lose
all respect for the man who performed the
celebrated egg triek to know that Euro- j
l*ans were sailing up and down this ,
coast and trading off beads for tobacco
alx.ut the time of Constant ine IV.”
We shall soon be asked to believe that
there is no truth in the story about George !
Washington and the cherry Iree. not with- ;
standing the fact that the hatchet with
which the tree was cut is shown to those !
who visit Mount Vernon.
Tue New Y'ork 'Timex t inks that the i
surplus in the Federal Treasury is too |
large. The Times will admit, however, j
that its party refused to permit legisla
tion last winter that would have made a
very large reduction in the revenue.
The F>lo* aional Scheme. .
The Chicago 7 rfount is heartily in sytn
jaithv with the scheme to give Federal aid
to common sch**ois. in reviewing the pro
ceedings of the recent Educational Con
vention at Itouisv ille it say s:
--Th*- -tales and U*e Federal Govern
ment must work hand in hand, and there
is littie doubt that when the time comes
they will r <e ready to receive and apply
the fund. There w iil be no opposition in
the North, though the larger part of tne
mooev will zo to the *j**uth. hut already.
V, far as there nas hrn any expression
of sen:intent. Louisiana. South Caro
lina. North Carolina. Texas Mis
sissippi, Georgia, Tennesse. and
Kentucky have shown themselves
in favor of the appropriation. The single
dissentient voice in Kentucky has been
that of the Louisville fJourier-lournaL
and that it has been hostile may *e easily
credited to thos*- emotional impulses to
which Mr. Watterson is subject, as h‘-
has himself publicly acknowledged. Lpon
w,-s-r second thought he will withdraw
his opposition, especially when he finds
that he is the only one in the south who
has any dread of th*- pauperizing effects
of the j>r*>ix*sed legislation."
The fJotricr-Joiini/il has taken strong
grounds against the educational scheme,
for the alleged reason that if the -tvtes
find that the Federal Government will *-d
--ucatc their children, they will ‘-ease to
f*-el any interest in their common school*,
and w ill make rio provision for them. Ihe
ri?T~h at mai favors ‘xiueation. It
could not do otherwise, lieing a progres
sive journal, hut it thinks the states
should provide their own educational
facilities. But if the states cannot do
what is required of them in matters of
education, what i- the use fit insisting
that they ought to. In some of the states
30 js-r cent, of the people are illiterate,
a- shown by the census and figures
produced at the Educational Conven
tion. It cannot he denied that the
-tat*-- in which the greatest illiteracy
exists have put a heavy burthen upon
themselves in the- way of school
taxes. They have not made much pro
gress in reducing the percentage of illit
,-racv. I iocs the ('o‘iritr-/oi<rn'd w ant
them to increase- their school taxes'
There is no probability that they will do
it Ix-oause they cannot afford to do
it. According to the (haricru/aaraal
they must continue to suffer the evil
which flow from ignorance because to
acci.pt Federal aid we>uld tend to break
down th‘-ir feeling of self-respect and se lf
reliance- As tti*- 7 nVoow says, the
‘ 'onritr—Journal 1 * position in this matter
ii probably due to impulse rather than
judgment. There is no reason to fear that
if Federal aid is grant**! the -tales will
ix-conu pauper- on the government in
educational matters. Ind‘**i it is proba
ble that the appropriation will lx* accom
panied with a condition that each -tate
-hall raise- so much for school iur[Xis*-s.

Foraker's lliarv.
AVie York World '/Moo..
Foraker’s canvass in Ohio is being
bellied along bv the publication of a diary
which h<* kept'while a soldier. Little en
tries such as the following are supposed
to touch the hearts of people: “Instead of
the ring of the church bell I hear the drum
and fife;” “The longer 1 live the more 1
am impressed with the worth of charac
ter; since i have lieen in the army I have
lived right up to my duty.” The man
who fished up the soldier Ixiy’s diary and
introduced it in the campaign was a
: genius.
H EMS Ol' INTEREST.
In London, children caught throwing
stones at railway trains are whipped by
public officials.
Ik the Cape God canal, the Florida ca
nal. the Jordan valley canal, and the irri
gating canal to the Desert of Sahara were
:ill opened at once, the Gulf Stream and
tides would lx- so fussed up that physical
geography would have to he rewritten.
The longest bridge in the world is in
< liina Its roadway is 70 feet wide and 70
feet high. There are 300 arches, and each
of tin* pillars, which are 7*> feet apart,
lx>ars a pedestal on which is the figure of
a lion 21 feet long and made out of one
block of marble.
The Atheninitu says that heroes ot
American novels are prigs. Perhaps it
arises from the fact that no other young
man in an English novel lias had more in
fluence on young writers of fiction in this
country than Henry Esmond, whom
Thackeray himself regarded as a prig.
Prof. Hfxlky, on hearing recently
that there were many new houses in the
best parts ol London which had no con
nection with the main sewers, remarked
that he lioiknl the London Sanitary Protec
tive Association might soon obtain pow
ers Ironi Parliament to hang a lew build
ers.
In Pike county, l’a.. there is a revolu
tionary brass cannon 200 years old.
Thirty-five years ago it was left in charge
of six prominent Democrats on condition
that it should never lx* used in a Republi
can jollification. The last of these six
Democrats is now dead, but the old gun is
still DeiiHXTaticHiul under careful charge.
lx view of the approaching winter.par
agraphers are licginning to start their sto
ries of cold weather on their annual
rounds. Here Is one from the Whitehall
Times: “A Clark county liar has been
awarded the surcingle, lie tells of a win
ter so severe that the springs in men’s
watches were all frozen. We know a man
who lias such a cold-looking eye that it
once froze a cataract that appeared on his
eye-ball.”
The rising generation in Virginia is
evidently not made of the stern stuff of
which their patriotic forelathers were so
proud Two Richmond youths recently
quarreled over a young girl whom both
loved, and a resort to pistols was agreed
on to settle the difficulty. W hen the suii
shed its ravs over the sjiot where they
were to fight, however, it found no love
sick youths. They had Iwtb failed to
come to time.
Account no to the Rev. Dr. Crosby, of
New Y’ork. Protestant Christianity is in a
bad way. He says in a recently published
lecture that “the great bulk of the Pro
testant church is identified with the
world. It has name to live while it is
dead. It has turned its doctrine into
naturalism or rationalism, and its life into •
selfishness. The old landmarks are gone.
Family prayer is given up. Sunday
newsjiaperß are read, prayer meetings are
ignored, worldly partnerships are formed,
social --ns are connived at. and even ex
cused, tbe pulnit is made a stage on which
Pi strut and pose before a gaping world,
and religion is made one of the instru
ments of fashion. We may not cure this
dreadful evil, but we may ourselves avoid
it and its doom. W* may look to ourselves
and to our own families, that w *_- go not
w ith the multitude of Christians to evil
and to perish in the hour when Christ
-had come as a thief to their dismay.” If
this picture of religious declension is ac
curate in its portrayal of facts, the refor
matory efforts f another Martin Luther

Dr. Robert B. Wilson, of Portland.
Oregon, who is stopping at the Westmin

men on Friday, and when they let him go
he leß with them $2.1%). of which s**• was
cash. Y esterday he caused the arrest of
two of them and got back J2.ou.
Dr. Wilson is 5 years old, and has
traveled before. He say- he reads the
newspapers. He is tali, full-bearded, and
wears glasses. To tbe ordinary eye he
does not look at all like a man whom con
fidence men would be apt to tackle.
At i o’clock on Friday afternoon Dr.
Wilson took a walk up Sixth avenue. At
Twenty-lourth street a handsomely dress
ed young mau grabbed his hand and shook
it warmlv.
•Why." Doctor shake , I'm awfuUy

■ A to catch sight of a familiar face."
jig-saw -hake).
"Y-. 1. gasped tne Doctor, regaining
control of ms arm. “I don't exactly re
call you.”
“That’s too bad." said the young man.
and his cheerful smile died away. “Why.
I’m tbe son of C. C. Beekman. President
of the bank at Jacksonville. Oregon. I’ve
just come back from Europe with mother
and sister. Haven’t a friend in New
Y’ork: that’s why I’m sd glad to see you.
Why, you know Henry Failing, of Port
land. don’t you?”
Mr. Beckman's name can be found un
der “Oregon” in the -Bankers' Alamanac"
for ls<i. -o can Mr. Failing’s. Dr.AYili-on
did not reflect on this. He did know Mr.
Failing and Mr. Beckman, and he said so.
Besides, the young man was apparently
not a needy person. He wore a plum
colored suit ot fashionable cut. a neat but
expensive w atch chain stretched across
his waistcoat, and a handsome solitaire
diamond sparkled in his scarf. “Perhaps
I do know this young man." Dr. Wilson
-aid to himselr.’and. to make up for his
former lack of cordiality, he began to
shake hands again. They talked and
walked a while. Then the young man
said:
“By the way, I’ve get something real
interesting to "tell you. Y’ou’ve heard
about the new scheme they have got up iii
Boston to put up the big church?”
Dr. Wilson had not heard, and said so.
•• Well,” continued the young man,
“ it's a sort of lottery, you know. Out of
pure charity I took a chance, and if I’m
not mistaken I’ve won some money. If
you’ve a moment to spare we’ll go and get
it ?’’
Dr. Wilson savs that the young man led
him to 4'.' East Twenty-third street. There
w as a sign on the door, which Dr. Wilson
think- was a physician's sign. They went
into what seemed to lie the front parlor,
which was handsomely carpeted and fur
nished. several men were gathered about
a green baize-covered table, on which
were many figures and designs in gold,
blue and red. It did look remarkably like
a benevolent society’s lay-out.
“One of the men who was sitting behind
the table,” the doctor said yesterday,
••shuffled up a lot of blue cards when he
saw us enter, and handed one to my com
panion. Then he said that the young man
had won, and handed him a package of
money, which he said contained si",
Then the young man induced me to take
a chance.”
Dr. Wilson took several other chances
and soon had parted with SBO in cash, a
#loo check, and an indorsed draft for
$2,000 on Drexel, Morgan Sz Cos. Then he
went and consulted Clark Bell, his law
yer. Mr. Bell said that he would try and
save the draft, although he thought it
would be a difficult thing to do, because
the hankers would tie bound to pay it if it
was presented. He sent an advertisement
to a morning paper that night offering
SIOO reward for the return of the draft.
Before the hanking house was open yes
terday morning Mr. Bell and Dr. Wiison
ascended tbe steps which overlook Broad
and Wall streets.
“We are ahead of the bunko men,” re
marked Mr. Bell, “and may save the
draft.”
A few minutes later the doors were
opened, and the story was told to Mr.
Morgan. He said that all that could tie
done would be to delay any one who
should present the dralt. Mr. Bell re
mained in the hank, and Dr. Wilson went
away for a time. In hisabsenee a tall and
broad-shouldered man came in. and step
ping to the < ashier’s desk, presented the
draft, and called for the- s2,<hhi. lie was
mad*- to wait, and a messenger was sent
fora policeman.
Just then a hubbub arose in Wall street,
near by. A dapper little rnan, looking
like a prosperous young broker, went fly
ing along, pursued by a tall man in eye
glasses. The tall "man kept shouting
“stop thief.” He gained upon the little
man, and cornered him in a doorway.
Then a policeman came along and took
the little man in charge.
The prisoner was the spurious son of
the Jacksonville hank President, and his
pursuer was Dr. Wilson. The doctor had
spied him lurking at the corner. The man
who had presented the draft was also ar
rested. He said he was Edward William
son. a clerk. 40 years old. and gave his
residence as St. Nicholas avenue and Hi 2d
street. Dr. Wilson recognized him as the
man who had dealt the cards in the house
in East Twenty-third street. The other
prisoner said he was Robert Price, a clerk,
30 vears old, of Hoboken.
SNA KE-H AN I>l,lXO.
Strange Experiences in India with I’y
thon* and Cobras.
Chamber*' Journal .
Apropos of Dr. Stradling’s interesting
snake anecdotes in your Journal( Nos. :*W
and Mil!), I send you a note illustrative of
the danger of handling certain kinds ol
snakes. Out here, individuals of one sect
of fakirs —religious mendicants—are fre
quently met with wearing young and
tame pythons as necklaces. One such
animal took the fancy of an officer, and
for a few rupees was transferred from the
fakir’s neck to his, and for some time
both were on very good terms. One day
our friend sat down to breakfast with the
python round his neck, a thing he had
never before done. The tail of the animal
earn# across the arm of tbe chair and in
stinetivelv coiled round it. The leverage
thus obtained seemed to revive its memo
ries of victim-squeezing, and ina moment
the officer was in the pangs of strangula
tion, bound fast to his chair and the awful
coil of the python around bis neck. But
in that supreme moment of horror ap
palling he retained his nerve; with his
left hand he seized the reptile’s head and
with his right grasped a table-knife, and
was just able to inflict a gasii behind its
head, and then the (jpffocating coils fell
back. The officer was alterwards found
prostrate on the floor in a dead taint,
from which he only recovered to be seized
with brain fever, the delirium of which
was entirely occupied with encounters
with monstrous serpents. In course of
time he recovered, but no one could re
cognize in that pallid, gray-headed and
careworn shadow of a man the once stal
wart, hearty and enthusiastic sportsman.
Another note to illustrate tbe extreme
danger of handling even dead snakes.
Major Dennys, a police officer in the Cen
tral Provinces, was recently out shooting
and killed a large cobra. His companion
asked to sec its poison fangs, and Major
Dennys, seizing the head with one hand,
opened its jaws with the other to exhibit
the tangs, which, in the approaching
rigidity of death, closed on his finger.
Aware of bis awful risk, he sucked his
linger and hastened home. But all as
sistance was unavailing; he dietj in three
hours.
I once kept and freely handled a snake
declared to be innocuous; it. escaped, and
after much searching could not be found.
Presently my boy ran up with tears in his
eyes, declaring that his three pet rabbits
were all dead; and, true enough, they
were so, and quit; rigid. ’Coiled up in the
hutch was the missing snake w hich my
boy and I had so frequently handled!
The handling of snakes is often una
voidably forced upon us by the extraor
dinary "and oftentimes incomprehensible
positions iu which are frequently
encountered. We ate apt to fancy that
snakea are essentially groveling" crea
tures, forgetting that their ventral scales
give them admirable facilities for climb
ing. ('iiless you recognize this fact, it is
difficult to understand how snakes get
into the roofs of up-country bungalows,
which are supported by smooth and
whitewashed walls and pillars; how you
meet them on the upper shelves of your
bookcases or in other apparently inac
cessible situations,
But when you meet snakes in the act of
ascending trees, and apparently with
nothing to hold on by, you are resigned to
your fate, and are prepared for sanguine
encounters anywhere and everywhere. If
you are a lady*you must not be surprised
—as my wile was—at a deadly snake
dropping out of tin sleeve of your velvet
jacket, which your ayah was helping you
on with, that jacket having previously
hung from a wall-peg, leaving it throe or
four feet from the ground. Nor, if you are
going out calling, must you be astonished
if a colira looks in upon you from the dou
ble roof of your brougham. How did the
one snake ascend the smooth wall and get
into the jacket? How did the other pass
up the smooth and glass-like sides or
wheels of the brougham and get into its
double r<xf ?
I might adduce illustrations by the
score of these strange rencontres’, and
they show us how we must always be on
our guard against snakes. Yet it is mar
velous that, among Europeans, we very
rarely hear of deaths from snake bites,
while the bare feet and leg 6 of natives
leave them frequently and fatally open to
attack.

KI NNINt: FROM INDIANS.
The Thrilling Adventure of a Ftoneer
Who Kan the Gauntlet
SprmgittM JKepsMteau.
Not one of our books succeed in present
ing us with an adventure as thrilling as
that of John Colter, who came to st. Louis
from the Black foot country in ISIO. Col
ter and a hunter named Potts were trap
ping on the Jefferson Fork when they
were attacked by about t>uO warriors.
Pott.- was instantiy pierced with arrows
so numerous that, to use Colter's words,
••he was made a riddle of." They then
seized Colter, stripped him entirely naked
and began to cor suit on the manner in
which t should be put to death. They
were at first inclined to set him up as a
mark to shoot at, but the chief interfered,
and seizing him by the shoulder, asked
him if he could run fast. Colter, who
had been some time amongst the Kee
katso or Crow Indians, had in a consid
erable degree acquired the Blaekfoot lan
guage and was also very well acquainted
with Indian customs: he knew that he
had to run for bis life, with the dreadful
odds of 500 to 800 against him and those
armed Indians: he - therefore cunningly
remarked that he was a very bad runner,
although he was considered’ oy the hun
ters as remarkably switt. The chief now
commanded the party to remain stationa
ry and led Colter out on the prairie 300
or 400 yards, and released him. bid
ding him save himself if he could.
At thi- instant the horrid war
whoop sounded in the ears of Colter,
who, urg.d with the hope of preserv
ing life, ran with a speed at which he
himself was surprised. lie proceeded
toward the Jefferson Fork, having to
traverse a plain six miles in breadth,
abounding w ith prickly pear, on which he
was every instant treading with his naked
feet. He ran nearly half way across the
plain before he ventured to look over his
shoulder, when he perceived that the In
dians were very much scattered and that
he had gained ground to a considerable
distance from the main body, but one
Indian, who carried a spear, was much
before all the rest and not more than 100
yards from him.
A faint gleam of hope now cheered the
heart of Colter. He derived confidence
from the belief that escape was within the
bounds of possibility, but that confidence
was nearly fatal to him, for he exerted
himself to such a degree that the blood
gushed from his nostrils and soon almost
covered the forepart of his body. He had
now arrived within a mile of" the river,
when he distinctly heard the appalling
sound of footsteps behind him, and every
instant expected to feel the spear of his
pursuer. Again be turned his head
and saw the savage not twentv vards
from him. Determined, if possible, to
avoid the expected blow, he 6uddenlv
stopped, turned around and spread out
his arms. Th<- Indian, surprised by the
suddenness of the action, and j>erhaps by
the bloody appearance of Colter, aiso at
tempts! to stop. but. exhausted with run
ning, he tell whilst endeavoring to throw
his spear, which struck in the ground
and broke. Colter instantly snatched the
pointed part, with which he pinned him
to the earth and then continued his flight.
'I he foremost of the Indians, on arriving
at the place, stopped till others came up
to join them, whffn they set up a hideous
yell.
Every moment of this time was im
proved bv Colter, w ho. although fainting
and exhausted, succeeded in gaining the
skirting oi the cotton-tree jvood, on the
borders of the fork, through w hich he ran
and plunged into the river. Fortunatelv
for him. a little below this place was an
Island, against the upper part of which a
raft of timber had lodged. He dived un
der the raft, and after several efforts got
his head above water amongst the trunks
of trees, covered over with smaller wood
to the depth of several feet, Scarcely had
he secured himself when the Indian’s ar
rived on the river, screeching and yelling,
as Colter expressed it, “like 60 manv
devils.” They were frequently on the '
raft during the day, and were seen !
through the chinks’ by Colter, who
was congratulating himself on his es
cape, until the idea arose that they
might set the raft on fire. In horrible
suspense he remained until night, when,
hearing no more of the Indians, he dived !
under the raft and swam silently down !
the river to a considerable distance, w here i
he landed and traveled all night. Although j
happy in having escaped from the Indians, i
his situation was still dreadful: he was j
completely naked under a burning sun— !
the soles of his feet were entirely filled j
with the thorns of the prickly [tear —he
was hungry and had no means of killing |
game, although he say abundance around
him, and was at least seven davs' journey j
from Lisa Fort, on the Big Horn brunch
ol the Roche Jaune river. These were i
circumstances under which almost anv j
man but an American hunter would have
despaired. He arrived at the fort in seven j
days, having subsisted on a root much
esteemed by the Indians of the Missouri. :
Tlif* oft he New Version.
In tin- October Century, Professor
(ieorge P. Fisher, of Yale, w rites forcible
of “Martin Luther, after Four Hundred
Years.” and compares the new version
with Luther's translation of the Bible, to
the detriment of the new, as follows: “He
was determined to issue not a colorless
version, or a version enervated by idio
matic peculiarities of the Hebrew and the
Greek, or a pedantic version, intelligible
and interesting only to the cultivated! but
rather a translation which should make
the Bible appear to have been written in
German. lie gives amusing accounts
of the struggles it cost- him to
make the sacred writers ‘speak Ger
man.' In dealing with Job, especially,
his patience was well-nigh exhausted.
No one could understand what it had cost
him to make Job 'retlen Deutsch.’ But
he succeeded. In his version the apostles
and prophets ‘reden Deutsch —the Deutsch
of the shop, the market and the hearth
stone. Luther's Bible is a living book.
If the recent English revision of the au
thorized version, admirable in various
particulars, fails at any point, it is just
here. There is a lack of freedom in the
incorporation of English idioms; in a
word, there is an undue servility. So far
as a translation fails to give the
force and beauty of the original
it is incorrect. Close adhesion to grammar
and lexicon, in many instances, may be
the cause of greater los than gain. We
must have the spirit as well as t'ue letter
of the text, if we cannot have both, then
hotter the spirit than the letter. Our re
cent revisers make the frightened disci
ples who saw Jesus walking on the sea
cry out, ‘lt is an apparition.* (Matt. xiv.
20. Would such a company of fishermen,
in a state of alarm, use this word? If
not, some other should have lieen substi
tuted for it. The juicy language of Lu
ther’s version, its sinewy vigor, its racy
idioms, and the rhythmical charm which
it has in common with the authorized En
glish version, are literary merits which it
is impossible to estimate too highly.”

"No foot of land do I possess,
No cottage in this wilderness,”
HAS been sung with a lack of reverence by those who desired to express in verse their utter
poverty as to this world's goods. With the opportunities now being offered, and the
lilieral terms given, any man can ]*>s-e-.- at least 3b feet front by 105 feet deep and have a cot
tage aud a garden iu one of the most plea-ant i-nuon- of the city.
THE LOTS
Which I a:n now offering on such streets as
West Broad, New Houston, Duffy, Henry, and
Anderson,
Offer inducements to tho-e who have been hoarding for this purpose for year- such as they
will again WAIT FOR IN VAIN. Although I have answered inquiries without number aliout
these lots, it is not true that the large edition of plats ordered by me has beeu exhausted.
I HAVE A FEW PLATS LEFT,
And will lie glad to give them out to any who wish to know more about these lots, which I
will -ell at the Court House on OCTOBER 2, 18s3.
