Tlie Protestant Cow.
Paddy Murphy and his wife Brid
get, alter many years ot hard labor in
ditching and washing, had accumula
ted a sufficiency to purchase a cow,
which they did at the first opportuni
ty. As it was bought of a Protestant
neighbor, Paddy stopped on his way
home at the house of the Priest, and
procured a bottle of holy water with
which to exorcise the false faith ou*. of
her.
“Isn’t she a foino creature?” asked
Pat, <*s the admirng Bridget, ‘‘Jest
hould her till I fix the shed ’ 5
To save the precious fluid from harm,
he took it into the house and sot it up
in a cupboard until he had “fixed”
things. Then ho returned and brought
tho bottle out again, and while Brid
get was holding the rope, proceeded to
pour it upon her back.
But poor Paddy had made a slight
mistake. (Standing within the same
closet was a bottle of aquafortis that
had been procured for a far different
purpose, and, as it dropped upon the
back of the poor cow, ami the hair be
gan to smoke and tho flesh burn, she
exhibited decided appearances ol rest
lessness.
“Pour on more, Paddy,” shouted
Bridget, as she tugged st the rope.
“I’ll give her enough, now,” quoth
Paddy, and he emptied the bottle.
Up went the heels of the cow, down
went her head, over went Bridget and
half a dozen ol the “childers,” and
away dashed the infuriated bovine
down the street, to the terror of all
the mothers and the delight of the
dogs.
Poor Paddy stood for a momont
breathless with astonishment, and then
clappiog his hands u;>on his hips,
looked sorrowfully, and exclaimed ;
“Be jabers, Bridget, but isn’t the
Protestant strong in her—the baste ?”

Quarrelliuif.
If anything in tbe world will make
a man feel badly, except pinching his
fingers in tbe ciack of a door, it is un
questionably, a quarrel- No man ever
fails to think less of himself after it than
before. It degrades him in the eyes of
others, and, what is worse, blunts his
sensibilities on the one hand and increa
ses the power of passionate irritability
on the other. The truth is, the more
peaceable and quietly wo get on, the
better fur oar neighbors. In nine cases
out of ten, the better course is if a man
cheats you, quit dolling with him; if ho
is abusive, quit his company, and if be
slanders you, take care to live so that
nobody will believe him. No matter
who he is or how be misuses you, tbe
wisest wsy is to let him alono, for there
is nothing better than this cool, calm,
and quiet way of dealing with tbe
wrongs we meet with.
elderly gentleman, accustom
ed to “indulge,” entered the room of a
certain tavern, where sat a grave Friend
by the fire Lifting a pair of green
spectacles upon his forehead, rubbing
bis inflamed eyes and calling for hot
brandy and watei, he complained to the
friend that “his eyos were getting weak
er, and that even spectacles didn’t seem
to do them any good.” “I’ll tell thee,
friend,” replied the Qiaker, “what I
think. If tbee was to were tby specta
cles over thy mouth for a few months
thy eyes would gr-t well agaiu.’’
One of the most curious things with
which we are acquainted ia that a watch
should keep so perfectly dry when it has
a running spring inside.
Augnsta is to have anew City Hospi
tal, which, the Chronicle says will be a
haudsomo building when completed.
L’otton .71 a nil fact uro iu llic
Mouth.
We find iD an exchange, says J.he
Savannah News, tho following strong
article in favor of establishing factories
at the South. We believe thut the ar
ticle is taken from the Boston Com
mercial: ‘‘The same conditions, cheap
laboi and cheap stock, .that favor the
exteoifive manufacture of woolens at
tbo West, encourage th« establish
ment of cotton mills at the South. We
are glad to learn that this fact is re-.
cciving full recognition by the intelli- 1
gent ol the South. And mere recog
nition is not all; for at seve-al points
in the South, cotton mills are in oper
ation, rolling up such profits as North
ern manufacturers have long been
strangers to. Tho case of the Augus
ta (Georgia) Factory, about whoso
last year’s business we reeently gave '
some figures, rnny well set New Eng- '
land mill owners a thinking. With!
the genera! advantages possessed by
the tv as . site for cotton manu
factuio, tho majority of our readers
are f course familiar. They know!
that it is > iieapei to find the raw ma
terial at the mill-door than to bring it
a thousand miles by rail or eea ; that !
the differenco of a few cents in the
daily wages of operatives is a vory
important difference, and perhaps, that
criarso cotton goods can be made at
h ast 20 per cent, cheaper at the South
than at the North. But thero are one
or two points on this subject about
which the majority are probably less
enlightened. The actual loss to the
manufacturer in money and Block by
bailing and the succeeding procecses,
is not less than 15, and perhaps 20 per
cent. The waste itself is an item of no
inconsiderable value. Again, cotton
is never in so good a condition for
manufacture as wtieu it loaves ti e gin.
With these facts understood, it is not
difficult to sue why Southern mills are
and have boon miming at full capaci
ty, while Northern mills ore in many
cased losing money, nor to believe that
Southern made goods can be brought
to Lowell aud sold cheaper thau tho
produc sos her own mills.
“The supply of labor for Southern
mills may. at the first glance, present
some difficulties, but these would mere
ly be temporary The whole fabric ol
society in that section has undergone
a change; labor is to become a neves
sity there as well as here, to all, or
nearly all the population. There, just
uow, there are thousands of destitute
women and children who rejoice in the
opportunity of eurning not only a liv
ing, but a surplus, by working in cot
ton mills. Their living expenses being
considerably less than tbahe of North
ern operatives, their wages would, of
course, be loss. The poor white3 of
lliv youth, directed by skilled opera
tives from New England, would soon
constitute a working forco ample in
numbers and tirst-elass in efficiency.—
And they would not bo the only class
benetkted by tho o tablishmeot of cot
ton manufacture. The South,like the

A Itoal Sensation—Attempt to
Shoot President Joliu-oii.
Last evening the whole corps of re
porters and correspondents were filled
with excitement by a rumor that an at
tempt had been made to murder Presis
dent Johnson. Tho facts, as we learned
them from police officers; are, simply
that about nine o'clock last night a
woman attempted to force her way pmt
the usher in charge of tho door, into the
President’s office. Upon questioning
her it was evident she was insane. She
refused to givo her name, aud answered
tbe interrogations as to her business by
spying: “lam the arm of Him wh i
seat ino; war is this day declared, and
l Live been delegated by God A1
m"'hty to kill the President of the Uni
ted hriates.’’ Upon searching her a
double-barrelled pirtol was found con
cealed under her shawl. Bdo was taken
in ohargo by Officer Shelton, detailed
for duty at the Exeoutivo Mansion, and
conveyed to tbe Central Guard-house,
where a preliminary examination was
held by Justice Clark. From papers
in her possession it was concluded that
her name is Annie O’Neil, living at the
corner of Twenty-fourth and L streets,
and she was committed by Justice Clark
for further examination. The pistol
found in her possession was ascertained
not to be loaded- Subsequently she
was visited at the station-houso by her
father and sister, from whom it was
learned that she was formerly employed
in the Treasury Department, and with
her earnings bad purchased the proper
ty where they reside Yesterday it ap
pears she was no'ified that her title to
the propertv was imperfect, being only
a “tax title,*’ and this informa hn pro
duced insanity tbe result of which was
her vLit to the Executive Mansion.
There will be a further examination of
the ease this morning. —National In

The Terre Ilaute (Ind) Journal , ot
Wednesday, vouches for the truth, of
the following strange story:
About ten days ago, a young lady 1
'was found wandering about in Otter
Creek Township in a crazy state of mind
very thinly clad acd apparently endur
ing great mental and physical suffering.
Her singular eonduct and the faot that
sl e appeared to have no place of habt«
. tatioD, attracted tbe attention of tbe peo
ple, and she was finally taken charge of
by the Township Trustee who sent her
to the poor asylum. When the poor
creature went to that institution she
| was a raving lunatio, and her physical
condition was terrible, haviug had both
her feet frozen so badly that she was
unable to stand, and it was feared that
j amputation would be found to save her
life.
j The officers of the asylum have gives
| tbe unLrtunato every attention, and
j within tbo last four or five days shs
has nearly regained her proper miad,
land is now able to tell her story.
Her name is Pamelia Robinson.
.She is about twenty-two years of sge,
aDd is from Oswogo, New York, where
her parents reside, her father being an
old gentleman of wealth and prorainenea
in that locality. Tbe youDg lady ia
prepossessing in appearanoe, highly ed
ucated, and of modest deportment. She
says she left her father’s bouse in New
York with the intention of visiting a
married sister living in Parke eounty,
near Rockville. From some cause, for
whicn bhe does not account, she lost
her reasoD on arriving at this point, and
she has no memory of events from tha
timo she readied the depot until a few
days since.
In one of her dresses, fonnd in tha
woods, in Otter Creek Township, was a
pocket-book containing a good sum of
money, and a check drawn by her fath
er on an Oswego bank for S4OO. In
the pocke t of the dross was also fouod a
railroad okcck for her baggage, and her
trunk was found at the depot last tiatur.
day It was well filled with a nieo
wardrobe, which corroborated the state*
moot of her condition in life.
Tbe friends of the young lady in Parke
county have been written to, acd they
will doubtless bo *w>ft in flying to tho
aid and rescue of their unfortunate rela
tive who has so narrowly escaped a hor
rible death. In tho mean time she will
receive every tttention from the kind
and humane managers of the asylum.
FemaliS SociktY.—You know my
opinion of Umale society. Without
it, we should degenerate iuto brutes.
This obsorvatim applies with tenfold
force to the young men, and those who
are in the primo of manhood. For
after a certain time iu life, the literary
man may make a shift (a poor ones
grant) to do without the society of la
dies. To a young mao, nothing is so
important as a spirit of devotion (next
to his Creator) to some amiable woman,
whoso imago may occupy his heart;
guard it from pollution which besets it
on all sides. A man ought to choose
his wife, as Mrs. Primrose did her wed
ding gown for qualities that ‘wear well.’
Oue thing at least is true, that if matri
mony has it cares, celibacy ba- no picas
lire. A Ncwtou or mere scholar, may
find employment in study; a man of lit
erary taste can receive in books a pow
erful auxiliary; but a man must bare
a bosom frioud, and children around
him, to chiri-b and support the drear
iness of old ago. — John Randolph.
I’e-marf.ied —About three years ago
a young man named James Smith, an
employee of the Kentucky Centra'll
railroad, wooed and married Miss Liz
zie Lie, one of the most chtjpning girls
of l’cndicton, Ky, just when budding
into young womanhood, being onlj
“sweet fifteen.” After living together
some rigliteen months, during which
they were blessed with an bcir, domes
tic difficulties oceurr and, which marred
the happiness of their wedded life, and
culminated in the divorce of the parties
—*he wife retaining possession of the
child and retaining her maiden name
of Lizzie Lee. Now comes the sequel.
After the separation of more than a year
—during which time Miss Lee had a
number of suitors for her hand—her
former husband could bear it no longer,
but earnestly renewed bis protestations
of love, which were favorable and lov
ingly received. An elopement was
planned — for the old folks objected «•
the proposed remarriage—and on Mon
day evening of last week, the young la
dy succeeded in eluding the vigilasee of
her parents, reached Cincinnati safely,
again stood at the bridal alter, and the
pair were again united in marriago.
How Much Marm? —We elip the
following from an exchange. We ad
vise nightly visitors of dry goods clerks
to beware :
“A clerk in a dry goods store re
tired one night; having for bis bedfel
low t>n acquaintance dating back to
school days. Our informant slept io
the next room adjoining, the door of
which was partly opeu. In tho mid
dle of the night he Bays he was awak
ened from sleep by hearing the clerk,
in a loud voice, exclaimed. “How many
vards did you say yeu wanted, martur’
Three yards enough!’ and tho n< x‘ thing
beard was a tear ng noise; and the bed
fellow of the clerk shouting ont, “What
are you do : ng? you have torn my shirt
from top to bottom.” The poor dreamer
imagined himself in his store, waiting on
; a lady customer, who wanted three
j yards of ealico. The shouts of merri*
j ment which the event created, can well
be imagined.
Atlanta is to have a street railroad.
The work will be commenced io a tow
