Editor Express: luma stranger
to you, but uot to your paper. I on
ly want to say a few words, which I
hope may be of some interest..
At this place is u small Grog Shop,
owned by a Mr. Treudaway. On
Tuesday night, one week ago. Tread-
away, I believe he is called “Mage”
Treadaway, and Frank White met in
the ticker shop and engaged in a
game of ourds. About 2 or3 o’clock
it seems one or the other became
winner of a small amount, whereup
on u disagreement sprung up, and
finally ended in a desperate fight—
White being cut in thirteen places,
and died I think the second day.
Treudaway is yet tunning a*, large.
An inquest wus held, und to the ut
ter astonishment of all intelligent
people, a verdict, was made, and
made to read ‘ a justifiable homicde.”
The man (White) lives at thu line,
only a few. steps in Alabama, but
the gambling und fighting occurred
in Georgia. Mr. While leaves a wife
and 7 children.
On the same day Mr. Jim Reed
was arrested for hog steuliug; tried
before Peter O. Rlunkenship and
found guilty, and failing to give
bond he was lodged in jail. From
all accounts there is 75 to 100 hogs
been missed in this neighborhood in
the last 4 or 5 years. Many heads
and skins being found, but no clew
ae to who did it until his last theft.
Our Sheriff should be more vigilant,
especially in this, the 17th distric 1 ,
and try to put a stop to the gniub
ling about this place. It is ulmust
an every day occuraence, but done
so sly that it is almost an impossi
bility co detect them. It is earnest-
ly hoped by every man in this dis
trict that Sir. Reed will be allowed to,
serve Ills time as the law may direct,
and that no one will take him out,
but let the law take its course. Also,
that-our Sheriff endeavor to arrest
the said Mage Treadaway, the mur-
dererof Frank White

comes covered with pollen, which it
transfers from flower {o flower. In
this way a single insect will fertilize
many flowers. Besides being attruo

seem capable of appreciating taste
and smell, just as the higher animals
do. What flowers are to iuseots,
fruits are to birds Add uniinels.

Jimng the past few yeurs. Thjyty
years ago the books which nude
up our Sunday-school libraries Were
dull b«*yond belief. They repelled
rather than attracted, not because
they were.moral in tone, but because
they lacked sympathy and interest.
The writers were good people, und
imbued with the best of motives^but
they seemed to forget that children
required Altogether different litefary
pabulum from grown people. The
resut wus what might have expeoted.
The books which ought to have at
tracted them Were discarded for sen*
national stories whose literary style
was execrable and whose moruls Were
always doubtful. Ons of the first
book publishing houses in the coun
try which attempted to reform this
condition of things was that of I).
Loihrop &*Co. Mr. Lothrop- had
long believed in the possibility of n
pure and elevated stundard of litera
ture for the young, which should
combine talent of « high degree*with
inoral and religious teaching,, and
which, in addition to these qualifi
cations, should be blight, sharp and
entertaining. It required determi
nation, courage and money to Carry,
out this idea, hut it was carried out,
aud tq*day Mr. Lothrop stands ut
the head of a house which publishes
m »re an l better books for juvenile
and young people’s reading thu i a iy
other in ,4 lie country. Tho best
tiTuilable talent is secured, und the
dress in which his books appear is
is uitEurpassed for and durability.
Many publishers exhaust themselves
in b:inging out a single illustrated
juvenile for the holidays, while this
firm offers p"ihttps a dozen, ejjuully
attractive, and immensely superior to"
the reproduction of English juven
ile publications with which the book
market is flooded during the holiday
season.
Of the works lately published by
this house in the special juvenile
list, the four Wide Awake Pleasur*
Books, “A,” “B,” “0” and “D,’’ ar<
prominent. They are as seasonable
one time as another, and will be a
perpetuul pleasure to young readers.
Sunshine for Bubvland, Mother 1
Boys and Girls, Our Darlings, and
Little People, the lust three by
“Pansv,” also appear in the same
catalogue, and with a score or more
others are brought out in illustrated
board covers.
The books which are now prepar
ing in the 8un.e popular style, make
a long and attractive catalogue.
Chief umong them is Wide Awake
Pleasure Book “E,” which is un
nouncid to be ready for the trad-
August Id’. It will contain a large
number of dslighlfu! stories aud
poems by Jwell known authors,
splendly illustrated. Among the con
tents are Sophie May’s “Sol iron’b
.Seal,” Child Marion’s adventures in
Rome. Venice and Vienna poems
by Celia Thaxter,, Mrs. Whlto t, R.

TIIE PIANO OF THE FUTURE.
Thepiuno pupil of the present
day finds difllou 1 ties enough in his
way towards the achievmont of even
moderate success in his art to tax
his best powers and to occupy most
of his time for years, but if the Lon-
dun Musical Standard is correct in
predicting that a piano recently in
vented is to become the piano of* the
future, the pianist of the luture will
find his task a far greater one. This
new instruments is provided with a
second key board, the scale of which
runs in an inverse direction ‘from
that of the usual ord *r; that is, it
ascends from right to left. *Tbe ob*
j .’Ct of this second key * board is to
facilitate the playing of passages
that now require the erasing of tho
hands, instead cf which .opera’.bn
the second set * f notes arc tj be used,
the hands thus playing apart from
each other. An ascending passage
of the left hand, for instance,‘is play
ed on the old stylo k”) board to al
most the center of the piano, then
eon tin tied .by playing backiv.ud or.
the other b. uni, ami an with passa
ges for the rigid, hand. The iuc.ea
sed power thus given to I ho
oiun iu »!»•• ix -ciitnm of difficult! and quiet tones are fashionubb
music is obvious, but the coi respond
ing difficulty of learning to tt.se it
with advantage will he discouraging
to many already skillful pianists. It
requir* s, for instance, a triple score,
aud the coniusiou of playing alter
nately backward and* forward will
be something requiring much pa
tience to become accustomed to.
The new instrument is a French in
vention.—Boston Advertiser.
FASHION ITEMS.
Dark silks are lavored in the
inuking up of mixed oustomes.
-Dress goods pres nt a smooth sur
face, with bright colors delicately
intermixed.
Serges for general wear come in
black, showing also pretty browns
and grays.
Fashion favors the plush black
shades, except (or deep mourning,
wnen Ac ebonyhued silks are pre
ferred.
Additional iffeot is given to the
new suitings by the introduction of
‘invisible” checks or plaids. Their
sombre shadowings in the midst of
grey colors are very pretty.
Lnminee fringes are very beauti
ful; they are made of silk twist flat
tened the whole length between hot
rollers. The flambeau fringes are
much admired; the strands are only
pressed at intervals of an eighth of
uu inch, the interventing spaces be
ing of the natural texture of the
>wist.
Great care should be taken in ar
ranging costumes formed of mixed
goods; and in selecting such goods
hs have gray colors, be particular to
consult wlmt tints suit your com-
pleviou. A costume may bo rich
but inappropriate to the wearer, und
hence tho toilet will be grotesque in
«fleet.
Where a costume or garment is
trimmed with fur, the muff is gen
erally of the same material ornamen
ted with bands of fur to match. This
style of muff will not take the lead.
All kinds of fur will lie worn, but
the preference next season will be
given to seal something like cash
mere.
Party silks are very brilliant, and
include both pule aud very decided
dyes; the latter may be said to tuke
the lea 1, and particularly iu the con-
'stru'o ion of combination auits for

flame would tuper out and point at
the man whom (lunger threatened,

ABOUT NOES.
T.iore aro thr..o national nos.'S
among tho civilized people, aud only
three—the Jewish, the Grecian and
the Roman. Eaoh is of a descrip
tion totally different from the other
two, and all three have a distinct
character of their own. The Jew
ish is the only nutiouul nnso now re
maining; the Greek and thu Roman
are occasionally reproduced among
other nations, but us national cliur-
uoteristios exist no longer. That
the ancient Jews nltuched no slight
importance to this feature is evident
from Leviticus xxi. 18, whero “he
that hath a flat nose” is ranked with
the blind und the lumr, the crooked-
backed, tile scurvy and the scabbed,
and is furbidden to take part in the
service of the sanctuary. The Greek
nusr hits come down to us in the
Greek sculptures, and certainly ac
cords better with onr uortheru ideas
of personal beauty than any other.
Seen in profile the outline ib almost
a continuation, without curve or dc
viation, of tho outline of tho fore
head, and would seem, phrenological-
ly considered, quite in harmony with
the unparalleled progress of the
Greeks in art, science aud philosophy.
Amoug the moderns the perfect
Greek nose is extremely rare, srfve on
the oanvas of our painters. The
Roman nose is tho very incarnation
ol the idea of oombativeness, and
suggests the notion that it wus hor
rowed from a bird of prey.
