A Narrow Escape- Officer Phelps came very near meet< ing a tragic death last night about 8 o’clock. Several complaints have been made against Nereis Duberry for running a very disreputable negro dive at her home on East Broad street, and Chief Ison detailed Officers Phelps and Gor don to go down, and if they could se cure sufficient evidence, to arrest the woman. The officers secreted themselves near ths house to await develop ments, but in some way their presence was discovered and the woman pre vailed on J. C. Churn and Henry Samps to make an assault upon there) The negroes secured several large rocks and rushed on the officers who were lying in the shadow of a tree. The first rock thrown went harmlessly over the men, but the next one struck Officer Phelps a terrible blow on the left shoulder, which dased him for a moment. >* • As soon as the officers recovered from the surprise of the attack, they sprang to their feet and gave chase to the negroes and captured them after some trouble, and landed them in the city prison. • Officer Pbelps was suffering consid erably from the blow he received, a6d is confident the negroes intended braining he and Officer Gordon How's Thill We offer One Hundred Dollars Reward for any case of Catarrh that can not be cured by Hall’s Catarrh Cure.

WAR TA A ANO COTTON* I ' ' * I,—-I Classes of Cotton BvOooipts* It is not generally known perhaps that the war stamp act covers cotton recepts, or at least a certain class of them. The following, however, which is taken from the Selma Times, will throw much light on the subject and should bn read by all cotton dealers: "The law which requires every re ceipt to Ln atamped With a 25 centa internal revenue stamp, bas given cotton warehousemen in Ibis city great concern on account of the many conflicting opinions as to who was re quired to pay the tax, whether pro ducer, merchant or broker. ‘ Mr. Henry W. Pariah, of this city, therefore weut to Washington with a set of prepared questions, which are given below, as well as the answer by General Samuel Butterfield, bead of the Internal Revenue Department. The questions and answers are very plain and are of decided interest to all of the people who handle cotton. “When a tenant rents land lor a cotton rental deliverable in bales, at warehouse, does such receipt require a stamp? No; 25 centa not required.' “If cotton mortgaged by the pro ducer to the factoy is consigned to factor to be sold, warehouse receipts "being issued in consignee’s name, but designating the consignor, does ware house receipts for such co'ton rtquire a stamp? No; if cotton is merely mortgaged and remains the property of tbe producer, 25 cents not required. “Or, if producer is not indebted but consigns his crop to factor for sale, warehouse receipts being issued in same manner as mentioned above, does such receipts require a stamp? No; 25 cent stamp not required. “If producer delivers cotton to mer chant in the interior for payment of debt, and tbe merchant ships such cotton to warehouse in his own name, does such receipt require a stamp? Yes; 25 cents stamp required. Or, if producer, without being in debted, sells hie cotton straightout for cash to country merchant, he then shipping it to warehouse, does such receipt require a stamp? especially when considering in connection with tbe fact mentioned in facts Nos. 5 and 6? Yes; 25 cent stamp required. If cotton previously stored at a warehouse is removed therefrom by buyers and delivered to a compress for temporary storage, to be eventually compressed for shipment, does such receipt by compress company require a stamp?—such receipts usually desig nate any number of bales on one blank. Yes; £5 cent stamp for each receipt, no matter bow many bales are designated theron. A Narrow Escape. Thankful words written by Mrs. Ada E. Hart, of Groton, 8.

Besides the root chewing, the track lift ing, etc., they have a love philter of frogs’ legs cooked in still water, and the ashes of a bat are powerful enough to keep away a rival or an enemy. To make a dog stay at home they cut off the tip of his tail and bury it under the doorstep. To make a wife obedient they “draw her pictur’ ” and hide it in the shingles. Thus, waking or sleeping; there is a constant forcing or counter acting of destiny.—Philadelphia Times.

In ttx»e day* When to qteak a man as a oentleman was to »y that be was for tu£tely dUtlnguUhed by hl. birth as be ing above and, a* it were, of araee apart from tha maam ot the population, a gen tleman was outwardly dhrtingUMhm oy hi. clothe*, which differed in many way. bmlde* their splendor from those affected by the oanallle. At that period th* occu pation peculiar to gentlemen was th* eon duet of th* government, but dow when gentleman ar* found in *v«ry walk of life and the word Implie* simply th* poasM •lonof estimable inward qualltiaa W*all diem pretty mueh alike, when th* rword indicated th* man’.rank, he might chooee hi. color, and th* fashion of hi* clothe* to suit Mn**lf, but at premt, when th* dre** of a man conveys nothing of his station in life beyond the indication, of material pnuix.-iity, uniformity and the avoidance of disnJay are sought. Apart ’from the effaoement of clas* di. tinctlon. in drees, which it took centuries to compass, do greater change ha* come over this matter of clothe* than on* which ha* been acoompllahed within th* memory of man. We may reprove th* tendency of our men of leisure to copy rather than emulate our English brethren in dres* and deportment, but it 1* undoubtedly to them we owe our lovs for outdoor sport*. *njl H 1* thin, spreading marvelously even within the part few year*, which ha* improved the breed of men and ehanged th* character of their clothes. The dandy no longer trip* in dainty shoe* and shuns exertion, but is proud of his square shoulder* and deep chest, and his dress is distinguished not more by its neatness and accuracy of detail than by it* simplicity, comfort and serviceability. The manliness which i* the keynote of this change finds no greater expression than in the avoidance of all pretense, sham and vain show and in the perfect fitness of the clothes of a gentleman of taste. In spite of the abandonment of arbitrary class distinction in apparel, it is by no means difficult to recognize a gsntiaman a* such by hi* clothes. Quite apart from thansat nes* and avoidance of any ness, which it should be nnntoesMsy to mention, is the abeolute rimplfofty and reality of everything he has on anflits fit ness for the occupation in hand. This fit ness Is the essence of good foruxjn dothee, and as it has its seat in the most rigid common sense it is singular that it to ih this that gaucheries shoqM mpst frequent ly occur.—American WooFand Cotton Be; porter. ~ Win Go Without Bia Tom. Since tbe news of Commodore Dew* ey’s victory reached tbe green hills ot bis native state, tbe fires ol patriotism have burned fiercely in tbe breasts ol tbe boys of Vermont, says tbe New York Herald. The enthusiasm ot sacrifice for Un cle Sam reached its height the other day in St. Albans. One of the boys from that town went before tbe army surgeon to be examined with a view to enlisting. He was a strong fellow, And the surgeon found him all right till be got down to his feet. There be discovered a defect which made him hesitate. The little toes on both feet were crooked under so that in walking the boy’s weight tell directly on them, “I’m afraid I can’t pass you with those toes,” said the surgeon. “You will find them very troublesome on a long march. Don’t the, ever hurt you in walking?” Tbe fellow admitted that they were somewhat painful when he walked many miles. The surgeon shook his head. “Very sorry,” he said, “but I’m afraid you can’t go.” The boy from Dewey’s state threw back bis bead and his upper lip stif fened. ' Doctor,” be said, “supposing I didn’t have tbe toes. Would you pass me then?” The doctor said he thought he would. Thereupon the boy walked over to the hospital and told the house sur geon that he wanted toes cut off 80 that he could go to war. Thia operation was performed, and the brave volunteer now lies up at tbe hospital with bandages around his feet minus two toes, but full of valor and determined to wear tbe uniform of Uncle Sam, toes or no toes. Wheatfield* of th* Wutore. No doubt the opening of the wheat bear ing regions of Siberia to settlement will compel revised estimates of our own con tribution of this cereal to the markets of Europe if not the amount grown for home use. The London Post publishes an ac count of the progress of the Tranasiberlan railroad in which it is asserted that by the end of next month the road will be com pleted as far as Irkutsk, and that the Rus sian government Will transport 200,000 peasants to fertile belts along the road for the purpose of cultivating wheat. At the same time railway communication with the northern seaport of Archangel is being made, with the object of aiding cheap cul tivation by cheap transportation to the European market*. The government will aid there peasant colonists with imple ments and will require only a tithe of their produce as rent. The result of this ex periment is practically certain to cause a change in existing wheat areas. • Russia has been our chief competitor in the Liverpool market hitherto, although Argentina and India have also bean areert ing themselves, but the new accession of wheat growing area will give Russia an advantage difficult to offset. Union our agricultural interest* are prepared to meet the threatened competition serious times are ahead for there farmers of the west and northwest whore chief source of wealth is their wheatfields.—New York Commercial Advertiser.
