Merchant* as Reported.
The report was circulated in tome of the
larger cities last week that there had been
five bouses doted np by the sheriff in Haw-
kinsville in one week.
The assertion waa rather reckless, as only
two houses were doted by tbo sheriff, and
the other three were dosed by their owners,
who, though pressed somewhat ly their
creditors, had the privilege of dosiug their
own doors.
A brief statement of the facts would not
do injustice to the parties, und would at the
same time be fair to the other merchants of
Hawkinsville.

The last house closed was that of Mr.

that he had requested his creditors to cr jie

there was anything left to give it to him,

that his goods are worth $2,000, which is

ahonld at once bo sent for. Botktn oamr,
and, tc the horror of his colleagues, ha
walked atreight np to the bedside cf the
Empress and took hold of her wrist to feel
her pulse. He waa instantly hurried from
tbe room and loudly remonstrated with on
the impropriety of his conduct, being told
that hia imperial patient was to be looked
at from a distance and that he most not ap-
f iroach her, mnch leas touch her. Botkin
interred in silence to all that the other doe-
ton had to say, bnt when the report of the
eonanltatiou was drawn np he refused to
sign it. Tne Emperor, who waa exceed
ingly anxious respecting Botkin's opinion,
sent at once for tne report, and on noticing
that the name of the new doctor did not ap
pear in it he earned him to be summoned
at once to hia presence.
“Your Majesty,” quoth Botkin, frankly,
'I cannot pretend to treat a patient that t
am not permitted to examine. Tbe Em
>ress is, I Isom, in a very critical situation,
think 1 can save her, bat to do so I mint
he allowed to go to work in my own way,"
Tbe Emperor rose from bis chair, took
Dr. Botkin by the arm sad marched with
him into the sickroom of tho Empress and
straight np to the bedside. “There, iloo-
tor, ho said, “examine your patient, snd if
anyone pretend! to interfere with you re
member that you are obeying my com
mands.” The course of treatment pre
scribed by the great physician proved suc
cessful. The Empress was saved and that
particular rule of imperial etiquette was ab
rogated forever.
A shocking and fatal accident occurred at
the Princess iron furnace, in Botetourt
county, Va., a few days ago. A colored
man named Felix Richardson, standing at
tho foot of the elevator which carries
stock to the top of the stock, sixty feet high,
head bet'
stuck bis head between two cross-liesros to
give a message to tbe foreman within just
as the descending elevator reached that
point. The heavy cage caught his bead,
crashing hia skull and breaking his neck.
The obstruction stopping the elevator, tha
men below looked up and was horrified to
sec tiie negro's mangled head and starting
eyes just above him. Ilk gave the signal to
raise the elevator, whon, without having
uttered a sound, the poor man dropped
back dead.

In his room or at ths windows When he
hail taken leave of them all, he delivered
one of the most impressive speeches on the
subject of religion that I have ever heard.
He spoke for near half an honr, and appa
rently with the power of inspiration; for he
spoke with calmness, vriih strength, and,
indeed, with Inspiration. I legret exceed
ingly, my dear air, that there wm no one
present who could have noUd down hia
precise words. They might have been read
with profit, und would havo been fondly

In conclusion, he euid: “Mr dear chil-

Umbrellas will last far longer if, when
wet, they are placed handle downward to
dry. Tha moisture fall from the edge* of
the frame, and the fabric dries uniformly.
If stood handle upwards the top of the um
brella holds the moisture, owing to the
lining underneath tha ring, and therefore
takes a longtime to dry, thus injuring the
covering. The is tbo real catue of the top
of the umbrella wearing ont sooner than tho
other port. Umbrella case*, too, are the
cause of vapid wear of the silk. The con
stant friction causes the tiny hole* «b«t
