The small boy is a necessary adjunct of ull public demonstrations. In fact, as a demonstrator, be is s marked success—the only thing, perhaps. In which his peculiar' talents exhibit without annoyanca. He fills the gup b< tween the proprietors of quiet and dignified enjoyment, and tho exuberance of natural tendencies intensi fied by mean whisky. It has pnxzled us to place the smtli boy snd rightly adjutt him In the social compost; but experience snd observations lead to tiie conclusion that, u-soclsted with tin horns, tin pans and the paraphernalia of street revelry, he succeeds in the natural and spontaneous rendition of strange and indescribable sounds which seem necessary to the suc- cetsof every well regulated performance. His services are elwtys voluntary, and the ardor of his xeal, the ubiquity of his pres ence snd the msrvelous character of bis utterances defy all suspicion of mercenary motives. Indiana all Allre.

The gentleman and lady were in- trodneed to each other by Mr. Brown, who explained to the lady that the gentleman "just filled the bill for her." Mr. Esters and Mrs. Maty L-atherwoed had an Inter view for a short while and returned, stat ing that the trade was made. A few nights afterward Mr. Brown joined the two in holy wedlock, and they boarded the tritn at Bremen on Monday morning for the na< tive county of the bridegroom. Pink Teeth Now Sean In Vanity Fair.'

An Italian known as John B vthini has been for the last two months an inmate of -•( tin* nt-rvu-.m v uril < if i 1 ; u 1 *n 11 it. I.-i | .1 j j i hospital at Btockley. He has been treated for partial paralysis of the right side by Dr. Mills, and haring sufficiently ncoser- ed is about lo undergo an operation for cataract. Compatriots who kne v him in his native country and to whom he has revealed himself, declare ibsttbe name Bothlnl Is assumed and that bis resl name Is i area, and that he is murderer of an Italian nobleman. Charles V., Duke of Parma,, absolute ru'er of the city und province of Parma, iu Northern Italy, was assassinated March 27,1854. The assassin was Antonio Carra, a former member of the Carbonari, and the friend of Fe ice Oraiul and Guiseppe Mazzini. It la this man that Italians Iden tify in John Bothlni. To thorn whom he can trust with his secret Buthini, it ia mid, will confess his Identity. But ahrswd and cunning as be naturally is, be is re served with new acqaaintaucei, even when presented to him by his must Intimate Iriends. Nevertheless be Is erar willing to peak of the assassination, but narrates .he atory in such a manner that the clos est observer would not tor a moment sus pect him of active participation. Bothini is now serenty-two years old. Though recently stricken with psrslysls, from which be is slowly recarer,ng. he does not appear more than sixty. He Is still wiry, vigorous and active. He Is, like Thar Wanted to See Him n Minute, True citizen. Mr. A. i. Prescott, who lives about a mile on the other side of Newbcrry'screek, near the Savannah river, this couuty, in forms us that about two weeks agu, he had a bale of cotton brought to town and sold to obtain money to pay. off hands. He re mained In town till late in the evenin'-', which put him iu the night getting home. When about 2' 0 yards on the other side of the creek, and ns he was ascending a steep hill, the undergrowth on either side being very thick, two men stepped in front of the male ho was driving, ami when about fifteen feet from him, called out; "Hold on I" He supposed that ho knew the voice, and not dreaming of any evil in tent, replied: "Who are you, mid wha*. do you want?” They replied: "We want to see you a minute.” He answered: “AH right, as soon as I can get up to you." At this moment noticing mat the ste-p ascent had caused some packages which lie had in tho foot of tne baggy to slip away iron; a bottle of whisky which ho also had, and fearing that the bottle would (all and break lie leaned forward to push Ihe pack ages up to the bottle to protect It, when the men, noticing this action, and doubt less supposing that he bent forward to get pistol, ran rapidly into the bushes and were seen no more. Evidently the inten tion of the men was roubery, and hut for the accident of Mr. Prescott bending for ward thero might have been a tragedy, It won’t pay to try Prescott that way again. MADISON. A DRACZ Or VICES REPOhTZD—T1IZ BILL A SUCCESS -JUBILEC NOTES, Madisox, December l.-SInce my last letter Madison has experienced another fire. On last Wednesday morning about 2 o’clock the residence of Mrs. M. E Orr was burned, with outbuildings, furniture and family wearing apparel, including a valuable h orae, which was in Ihe barn. The time of the flrS and distanco from the engine house prevented assistance arriv ing in time to he of service to Mrs. Orr, but tho Alpha hoys did good work in pre venting the file spreading to the adjoin, ing I rriuisee. The fire originated in the barn, presumed to be Ibe work of in in- oendiare, hut my opin'on is that numbers of the barn fires along the lines of railroads arc attributable lo tramps, who are Invct- erntesinokms, sleeping in the buildings Another steaie gin home fire is to be added to tho long list for this season. This one bc'onged to Mr. David Williams, located et Kairplay, abont nine miles from Madison, and occurred on Inst Tuesday. Total less, including quite a lot of cotton, estimated from six to twenty bales. No insurance; accidental flro.

DRAWING OF FEBRUARY 12.1881. Frank F.clolle, 23 Pine etre.t, Jackson ville, Fla. 13,000 Herman Klrchnor, Cry-ml ILuel, cor- i er lib and Berry sU, Han Francisco A Day’s Work on a Nsw Eigland Farm Correspondence Journal of Commerce, It was late of a winter night in the farm house, and the family were asleep. I alone wat awake, and making note of the day’s doings. The farm lay among hills, 130 acres, hail woodland never cleared, a quar ter and more ol pasture, the rest devoted generally to corn, oats, potatoes and a lit tle wheat and rye. Tho vegetable garden was the care of the wife, getting now and then a half-hour’s work for heavy spading from one of the boys. The family were father and mother, two sons of 17 and Ui, a daughter ot 16 and another of 0. My room was over the kitchen, whose stove pipe came np through the floor. It was a little after 5 o'clock In the morning when the farmer and his boys were heard walking about the kitchen, mrking np the fire and bringing in a store of wood for the forenoon. The wife and elder daughter were down stairs fifteen minutes later. Then the men folks went oat to the barn, and be ran work with watering and feeding the st ck. These had to be driven or led oat to water, fur tbo stable supplies were frozen solid. From my bed Iconldsee through tbo window the lanterns snd the slow heavy procession of oxen, cows and horses going to the .tream and back to ward the stables. Then the cleaning out of the stables occupied them for an hoar, and the chickens were looked after; and the sheep, of which there were only thir- S r or thereabouts. What else they were oiug, I know not, but they were out until after six o'clock, when I joined them at the breakfast table, by caDdlo light. The thermometer was then at five below zero ontalde the kitchen door. Immediately alter breakfast they got down a lot of ..... him lire, -h. l.d tl,.- hones for feed a few days, cleaning it in a hand fanning mill; and then eheiied some bushels of corn. Before 10 o'clock the three men with a yoke ot oxen went to Ihe woods, a half mile off, to cot wood. This is for next winter’s use. The wood is cut in the deep snow, corded np a. d hauled down to the farm on sleds. Before spring comes the fall supply for next srinter's horning mast be cat, split and piled under cover for seasoning. They had carried their dinner with them. I drove down four mllea to the village late in Ihe afternoon snd returned jnst before dark. The three men were coming home across the while pasture lot, and by the time they bad stowed awav their traps sapper was ready in the kitchen. Ten minutes after supper were given to their pipe*. This*.as me first rest which any had taken since long before daybreak. Tho pipes finished, the father lighted his lan tern and the sons followed him. They went out and again fe i snd watered the stock snd did various chores around the barns and sheds, coming in at s little after 7 o’clock. It was not till 7 JO o'clock that the family were gathered around the fire. Hut work was not yet ended. The father and one of tiie tons were whittling and working out bltsoi hickory and ash to sup ply ox yokes and broken parts of farm tools. The mother and elder daughter were mending clothes which hsd suffered in forest work. The other son read aloud from Harper’s Magazine while the day’s labor drew to IU late elona. At 0 o'clock all were in bed and asleep, peacefully thoughtless of the necessary rousing to come In eight hoars and the new day of labor. Now this la bnt the btre outline of a winter day's work on a farm, and that a day when all goes right and smoothly. But there are few days wttheut sickness among the stock, or frost invading tb.- cellar ■tores, or one of a hundred possibilities of trouble in the farmer’s economical system* Nor linve I named the great variety of lit tle things to ha done etery day. Feeding ck, for example, involves i-repsraiionof (* d, boiling *omo of it, cutting up and ndzing. all sorts of w-trk. Kvery day has in it enough work for two days. Caught bv an Ootopus.

Ilia face is clean-shaven, with the excep tion of a lieavv, martial mustache, which like bis thick hair, is of iron gray. When the namo of tho Duke of Parma was men tioned his brow darkened as be said: Yes, I knew him. lie was a coward— a villian—a brute!” After he bad said this the cloud passed away as quickly as it bad gathered, and his conn enance born an expression of serenity iu- remarkable contrast to that which it bad borne n moment before. I was in Parma when tho Duke was killed,” be said In answer to a further quesuon. and can tell you all the circum stances.” In response to a request to relate the story, which no one nas yet had the opportunity to incorporate in history, he proceeded as follows: “The Duke was killed Iu 1852, I think; I don’t remember the date exactly, but it was winter time. The man who did it 'xas Antonio Carra. I knew him well. He was about ray height and had a mark on his neck. He was a sad Her by trade, but gave a good deal of his time to the Carbonari aad then to‘Young Italy,’ ths society that was to revive the ancient glory of Italy by the re-establishment of a republic aud the consolidation of tho petty pnndpaltties and duchies. “I was in'the society with Carra. Mazzi ni was the president. I wsu; his friend and knew him well. A nobler spirit 1 never knew. IknewOrsioi also. A month af ter the Duke was killed Orslni caused the people in Parma to rise in rebellion. Tne movement was crushed, however, and many brave, pnre and noble spirits found an early grave because they loved theii country better than themselves. “The Duke was a Bourbon—the most cruel and savage of bis name—a brute in bis passions, overbearing in his disposi tion, a devil in his temper. Ho ruled with a rod of iron, hoping to crush the spirit of his people, but, tnank God, he never succeeded. Perhaps you wi.l understand why he acted as he did. There was a revolution iu 1818, when Charles II. was driven out. In 1810' the family was re stored, but Charles If. resigned the crown to his eon, Charles HI. The new duke felt that the onl v way to retain power was to grind down his subjects. Tne people were inclined to allow him an opportunity to become a popular governor, but their spirit rebelled at his persecution. “The Duke Charles was grossly immoral and consequently hated religion. He al ways carried a horse-whip and when he met a priest he would whip him until he wns tired, and curse him. His action to wards his poorer subjects was similar. This led ‘Young Italy’ to resolve on his death. Several men were detailed to kill him, but all tbeir ingenuity coaid not ovei- come hie precautions. He woro a suit of armcr under bis clothes, so that a pistol bullet ain.cd at his body could not injure him. For the same reason a daggar could not injurehlm. And again there was a great difficulty in approaching him as he was always accompanied by a bodyguard. “At last Carra was detailed to accom plish what a dozen others had failed to do. lie was determined to kill the dake, but knew that to succeed he must adopt a dlh f* rout plan of op-rations froi i any of hi' predecessors. Carra procurod a triangular in. I • i-; • : I it to ft !i11♦ • j» )int. He steeped the instrument in gallic acid for a weex, so that in case he wounded the duke blood poisoning would ensue. Ho next procured a suit of clothes, the fabric of which was so prepared that it tore wheu even slightly pulled. yf'Everythtng was now ready and so he selected a place to lie in wait for the Duke. For several days he remained at his post, until at last the desired opportunity ar rived. The Dake approached, accompa nied by his minister and surrounded by his guard. The people gave him plenty of ro ini, dif i’ll*: - t<» in* >'t him l”-i tin y should incite his anger by their very ap pearance. Carra stepped out from his am bush. He held the file In his hand and prepared to inflict the death-blow. The undertaking was one of great peril, but though his neart beat wimijr uu courage did not tail him. The Duke was now within a few yards. Carra suddenly rushed at him and before any one could interfere to prevent it stabbed him with the poi soned file In the groin, below the coat of mail. “The Dake fell with a loud cry ot agony and a curse. Cam waited for no mora. As he ran off with all the speed of desper ation, a yell of terror and fury burst from the minister and guard. Csrra ran on. Nobody stopped him. A few laid hand- on him, but could not hold, as the cloth gave way and nobody pursued. “At last Carra arrived at the city wall. He ran np tbe steps. It was an awful leap to the ground on the other side, as the wall was thirty feet high. But it was a matter of life or death ond he undertook to leap. He a' ighted uninjured, but badly shaken. He did not care for this, snd pro ceeded through the country beyond the city limits. “Two hours later Carra entered the city by one of the five gates. He was imoie ately placed under arrest. “ 'Why do you arrest me?’ he asked ap parently astonished. “‘Asa conspirator and member of “la Giovina Italia,” which lias assassinated tl,<- Bukrof i'rtrini*: “After being kept In prison for two months Carra was liberated, as there was no proof against him. He then came to America aud sent a letter to the author!* ties at Parma avowing that ne had assas sinated the Duke and that all other per -<<rn i■ 1 • :trat• i Wire inno.’-nt. J!.- was never extradited, however, for the detect ives could not find him, as he had assumed a nsw nama.” The speaker was rigidly circumspect un der cross-examination ami would make no admission as to his participation in the crime, but that the atory he told with such attention to detail was his own a dozen or more Italians in Philadelphia know as a fact. _ ‘‘Shall Ther «• Taught?"
