A Battle Between Ilirds. A gentleman from Stone County gives the particulars of a remarkable incident which he witnessed while crossing White ltiver on the ferry just above the mouth of Hyeamoro Creek. When nearly half way across he stream an enormous eagle swooped down on a flock of geese, which were swimming in the river some eighty rods below the lioat Tho fowls, upon observing the eagle approaching, instinctively dived under the water just as the bird struck Uie wavo. Rallied in tho first assault the eagle flew slowly up ward, and when the geese come to the sur face, darted downward agaiu, and burying its talons in one of them, attempted to bear it sway. Tho goose struggled violently, wbUo its companions swam aronnd fettering shrill cries and the persons on the ferry boat watched the strnugo scene with keen interest Once the eagle lifted its prey clear out of the water and seemed on the point of conveying it to Uie nionntain cliff that rose grandly in the air on the other side of the stream, lint the struggles of the gooso forced the captor downward.

When water was sgain reached the goose made a supreme effort and plunged below the surface, dragging the eagle after it and causing tlie latter to loosen its hold and rise upward with a fierce stream. The eagle next attacked another goose, ont witn tne same rosmt, iiemg com' pi lied to relinquish its hold when its in. tended victim plunged beneath the waves. This Btrango contest lasted fully thirty minutes, at the end of which time the eagle gave up the fight, and, rising, soared away to the mountains westward, while the flock of geese swam further down the stream. None of the flock were killed, but the water in the vicinity was dyed with blood, and the surface of Uie stream was covered with feathers for considerable Little Hock Letter to Atlanta Cemttitution.

Coin and Jewelry la the Mails. On an average 1200,000 in gold coin, bullion or jewelry is sent every day as third clas mail matter through the San Francisco postoflice. Half of this is shipped by the Government the rest is private remittances. There is no armed guard or other precaution against robbery, and private shipments are simply inclosed in ordinary wooden boxes. Bo-.

fore Secretary Sherman originated the present system of exchanges through the postoflice, gold was charged letter rates, or $3.60 per $1,000, and its transportation waa profitable but now Uie postage and registration amount to only 70 cents, and gold shipments are a loss to the postal department beside offering temptations to criminal enterprises.

If the word womanhood meana anytliing the State aa well a the home need it, and if Uia atata it the larger home it need it all the more. Take tho wife out of the home and yon remove an element which can not bo restored until yon bring her back. What a poor, lonesome housekeeping nation this of our ban been and is. There i something wanting.

Btudy the question, and if yon own find aome reserve force that will help it, don't hesitate to nrge it forward. We will have no ideal government until it i a perfect type of the ideal home.

We are not unique or great only to the extent that our grandfathers saw a principle but did not have the courage to carry it out.

With women enjoying the same round of privileges as are accorded to men, a government will be a reflex of both. In the sacred same of home, of which the state should be an expression, withhold no element which can contribute to the success and good of the state, Uglr Women Shonlal Hat Marry ia Public. All brides should be beautiful," says Clara Belle. II this rule can't be enforcedand I don't snppose it can-then pass a law forbidding ugly women to be married in public. If so much as that cannot be done in the interest of art propriety, at least let as compel plain women to be married in plain clothes.

There is something shockingly incongruous in the bridal clothes worn by a bride who isn't physically line herself. I have seen a daughter of wealth and fashion at the altar with a son of the some. Her toilet of white satin was almost covered with ruchings and plaited frills of cream white lace. The bodice was in we snape oi a long J-iOUis jlvj. coat, with loose lapels opening over an under vest of lace.

This coat garnished all around the edges with rich applique bands of pearl beads. The sleeves of white lace barely reached the elbow. It was altogether an exceptionally-lovely rig; but the young woman inside it was far, for below the requirements. She was round on her back, instead of her breast, so that the shape of the elaborately-wrought waist was bod. Her neck, where the cutting away of the corset showed it, was full of visible cords and muscles, and its color was yellow by comparison with the creamy satin and lace next to it Her scrawny arms were darkly visible through the lace sleeves.

Her face, composed of irregular, freckled and irredeemably commonplace features, and brought into contrast with the quality of her clothing, seemed fairly hideous. In an ordinary street dress she would, no doubt, pass in a crowd but arrayed as a bride, before the critical eyes of a church-full of spectators, she wouldn't do at all. I oculdn't help watching the bridegroom, when the minister asked him if he would take her for better or worse, and his eyes fell upon her for the last feasible time to back out, to see if he hesitated a little, bnt he didn't, and I concluded that in his case love was stone blind. Poor little bride! No doubt she was as keenly aware of the lack of goodlooka as anybody else in the assembly, and would have given any price, if some had been purchasable."

Fair women ride in slate, while good women weep in sackcloth and ashes. Modesty is declared to 1)0 mere absence of charm, or power to attract, and fashion justification for any enormity. At the opening balls and entertainments of the present season more low-necked dresses have been worn and a more shameless exposure of person made than has been known for many years previous. It seems as though the absurd and irrational customs which tradition has kept up abroad, but which are probably giving way before modern intelligence and enlightenment, were to be revrred and obtain a new lease of life here in communities that ongbt to have freed themselves permanently from them. Women in society seem to have divided themselves into three battalions-one i bowing more or less of what is considered the esthetio element; another conservative, and with what are called old-fashioned'' prejdniees; a third, animated lay figures npon which the utmost art of the dressmaker is displayed art that sometimes turns ont wonder- ful copy-book specimen of grace and loveliness sometimes merely overlays them with stuff and segments of designs that have no relation to each other.

Coming home in the Fifth-avenna omnibus, I met with a specimen of mother and manners that will amuse you, and perhaps it will point a moral if It does not adorn a tale.

The stage wss full six on each A woman observe, I do not say a lady entered with two children, a ten-yen r-oldjoy and a young girl. As she could not find a seat, I gave her mine, an 1 the two children stood at her knee. Pros-ently two persons left, and the boy uat down opposite Uie mother. Now two ladies entered, and the muther instan'y bent toward and said to her son Keep your seat I paid for you." This was a lesson in politeness that would probably determine the manners of the boy for life. The mother lir.d just before accepted my seat, compelling me, a man, twice as old as herself, to stand up in an omnibus; but the moment when her little son hod an opportunity to be kind to ladies, she interposed and bade him keep his seat.

It offends the vanity of our people when one says that this wont of good manners is a national vice, and I hold that it is not American. It is Anglo-Saxon as distinct from the Latin races. That softness, gentleness, ease of renn-ners which pertains to France and Italy is not in Germany, Britain, or America. The manners of French children are beautiful. They are so well taught in early childhood, that politeness seems an instinct.

No one can tell when tho child did not behave properly, i Mr. Nasby has written a letter to the Toledo Blade on this subject, which seems to bare arrested his attention while traveling in France. And his experience like mine, was in a public conveyance. He writes "I was in a compartment (of a rail car) with a little French boy of twelve years, the precise ace at which American children, as a rule, deserve killing for their rudeness and general disagreeul lioness. He was dressed faultlessly, bnt bis clothes were not the chief charm.

I sat between him and the open window, and he was eating pears. No, on American boy of that age would either have dropped the cores on the floor or tossed them out of the window without regard to anybody. Bnt this small gentleman every time, with a 'Permit me, said in themostplaasaut way, rose and came to the window and dropped them out, and then 'Mrrei, mon sieur" (Uiauk yon, air), as lie quietly tooc ms seat, It was a delight. I am sorry to soy that such' small boys do not travel on American railroads to any alarming extent. Would they were more frequent And this boy was no exception.

He was not a ahow boy out peeing before tho great American Republic, or such of it as happened to be in France at that time but he was a sample, a type of the regulation of a French child." No, Mr. Nasby would never meet with a boy of that pattern in England or New England, in Britain or America. They are not raised in any of these kingdoms or republics, xhe lathers ana xnotners were brought up as they bring up their sons and daughters. Children are what they are taught to be.

It is full of the dead years, laid sway with withered rose-leaves and laveiJer. A grandmother's cap, a mother's wcddiugcomb, my own wed-ding-dres, a deep crape veil, worn for lather and mother uatiy frocks, shoes, and little pants, barlow knives, a schoolgirl album, full of forgotten names-names covered with lichens, in the only other place where they still remain, and old letters great bundles of them. How there old letters comfort mo oftontimes I No matter how tho writers have changed, these words live. Mother, father, brothers, friends and lover, remain unchanged in the drawer among the withered roses of long ago. I will not weary you with tho talu of the sorrows borne, the joys shared, hi my own south room, overlooking tho garden, so fair with flowers, or of the guest room, sacred to friendship.

But there are tears and smiles for both, with all of the rest. Before I tell you good-bye at the door, let go down, and sit for a moment in the dining-room. Ah the good cheer that has smoked on that long table. The many times 1 have stood with tired liody, but swelling heart over its tempting orray. Each birthday, through all tlie years, from the first one when the baby began to talk, to tho lost one who left a bearded man, has been remembered in this room.

How the brotrn turkeys, flanked by oysters and cranberries, have steamed on thanks-riving days although we ore Western folk aud what exultation has the room resounded with, on Christmas and New Year's, when not only tho best cheer of winter, but love gifts, from and to, each and all, piled up the tables, and chairs. As I talk of it in its near recurrence, the old feeling comes back, and I feci as if all the dear little people were only out, at school, perhaps, and would buret in presently, to question and talk eagerly of the good things coming.

Comfort from Newspapers. Many years ago, in one of the severe winters when there was much hardship among the poor, a city paper suggested that old newspapers, spread over the bed, would form an excellent substitute for blankets and coveileta. Thisbronght upon Uie journal a great deal of harmless ridicule from other papers, but it brought comfort to many a poor family. In Uie matter of bed-clothing, especially, we are apt to associate warmth with weight, and do not consider that there is no warmth in the coverings themselves, bnt that they merely prevent the heat of the body from passing oft Whatever is a poor conductor of heat will make a warm covering. Paper itself is a poor conductor, but still poorer are the thin lay-erg of air that Are confined when two or three newspapers are laid upon one another.

A few newspapers laid over the bed will keep one much warmer than some of the heavy, close-woven blankets. We do not propose newspapers as a substitute for blankets and comforters, bnt it is one of those make-shifts Uiat it is well to know. In traveling one may, by the aid of a few papers, secure a comfortable rest in a thinly-clad bed, and if we cannot afford to give a destitute family a blanket or a comforter, we may show them how to increase the usefulness ot their thin coverings by stitching a few layers of newspapers between them. It may be well to remind those who grow window-plant that, by re moving them away from tha window, and arranging a cover of newspapers over them, they may be preserved from harm in severely cold nights. With the plants, as with ourselves, it is not so much that cold comes in as Uiat the beat goes off, and often a slight protection will prevent the escape of heat America Agriculturist, aaat h-ajlef a-Anlm kal la aaaMahaa, fiir Ktilh aiHthei Oar aatilnn, ah I ttvtn a4 aw! i kewauar Mf It vliam aoiftal Our Omirw ia! raft raa aatarM, II ghaol aa witkoai lari Aa aril faa ka II ra ant tree, ye Vat a.aiu aa ka yua are.

The emnbasi Uiat ia luatly laid upon self-denial aa an important element in tight-doing sometimoa leads ua to under-rate all actions that do not include it The palpable exhibition ot aclnah injiu-Ue Uiat oasts all sell-dunial to tb winds and (eok only personal and present gratifications are so repulsive to Uie just and generous that they ara apt to divide all action roughly into two classes tb one self -pleasing and wrong, the other aelf-deuymg and right nucn a eiaaaincauon, nowever, ia not merely rough, it i absolutely erroneous. The value of aelf -denial docs not reside in itself aa sn end, but only a a means to higher state in which it ia no longer needed. For example, a greedy child neuda careful traiuiug in habits requiring oourtant self denial bnt years pais, the habit of restraint is acquired, reason dominates, and in matnrity be no longer buds the need of self-deuial in tins diruo-tion, tor a more intelligent self-love pre fer the possession of Ueallll to tuo in-diligence of the palate. The right-doing that wa ouoo so painful baa become pleasant Ho the child who sclU.dil.r snatches Uie property of his playmate violently away, presently learns by teaching aud experience the far higher enjoyment of justice and sympathy, and when he is man it costs him no pain to refrain from snatching his neighbor's nurse, although hut desire for money may be even stronger than his childish desire for the coveted plaything.

So, in every cote, self-denial is like road which must be traveled to reach some desired end, bnt which we gladly leave behind us when tho goal is reached. It is when right-doing no longer costs a pang tuat it arrives at iia ucati-uuuiuuii. Moral progress is not simply the working no to a self-denying condition of mind, it is also working through self-denial to pleasurable well-doing. While, therefore, it is needful to insist on self-denial whenever right action demands it, it is by no means just to limit our approval to those actions alone. There is indeed a very large proportion of good and noble deeds that contain no element of self-denial they are performed with pleasure and avidity there is no painful sense of obligation, no struggle, no collision of motives.

The parent who truly and intelligently loves his children does not pause to consider hi own case when Uieir necessities demand his exertion there is no contest in bis mind between bis duty to them and hi3 own happiness, for the two are consonant; bis heart springs to plan and labor for their good, and in doing this be best pleases himself. The hero who claims our admiration by leaping into the fire or the water unhesitatingly to save another's life has not been compelled, or driven to the act by a sense of duty, at war with, and finally overcoming Lie desire of safety. It is, on Uia contrary, his quick and ready sympathy springiug to action without conscious self-denial which commands the homage of every looker-on. Not in extraordinary cases alone, but in the every-day affairs of life, much of the right-doing is pleasant It is not self-denial that makes the lover of justice upright and honorable in all his dealings he could not descend to meanness or unfairness in bis business, or take advantage of poverty or ignorance to enrich himself without a personal sense of degradation far more painful to bear than any pecuniary loss. So Uie generous and sympathetic man bestows his time, thought or money upon those who need it, Willi pleasure to himself, not with pain.

The patriotic statesman in securing the welfare of his country is fulfilling his own earnest desire. The stirrer after excellence in any occenpa-tion, while benefiting the world, is at the same time ministering to his own happiness. And the brtt work in any department is that which has been a source of pleasure to the performer. Philadelphia j'utlicJUdffcr. Paul Moriihy's Memory.

ISrcntmm' t'tou) Mtmthly recullsthis instance of the remarkable memory of the greatest chess-player the world has ever known: Of Murphy's gigoniio memory I hod indubitable proof from my own observation at the time ho was playing his celebrated match with Lowcnthal. Both opponents had agreed to regard the games played ns their intellectual private property, not to be published. I was at the time editing Uie cherts columns of tho Xunday Time, and auxions to reproduce them there. In order to obtjun the requisite information, I had to pply to one of the contesting parties. I first went to Morpby, who received me cordially, and declared his entire willingness to dictate for me the last portie, played the day before, I begged him to repeat the game on the board, as I woidd in this rummer tie better able to follow the progress of the contest Morphvcon sented, and at the tenth move of black (Lowenthal) I askod him to stop a moment, since it seemed to me that at this particillar point a better move might have been mode, "Oh, you probably mean tho move which you yourself made in one of your contests with Dnfresne?" answered Morpby in his simple, artless way of speaking.

I was startled. The partie mentioned had been played in Berlin in 1831, seven years before, and I had totally forgotten all its details. On observing this, Morphy called for a second hoard, and began, without Uie least hesitation, to repeat that gome from the first to the last move without a single mistake. I was speechless from surprise. Here was a man, whose attention was constonUy distracted by conntless demands ton his memory, and yet he had perfectly retained for seven years all the details of a game insignificant in itself, and, moreover, printed in a language entirely unknown to him.

And into these Western solitudes I have brought a vol ume of Herbert Spencer to rolresh and cheer my mind. He always fascinates; and the fart of his being still unmarried has something to do with it, for you know there is a halo surrounding the ccliliate which marriage utterly li- stroys.

As in most philosophical questions, it is useless to ask why this is so. We can only olmcrve the working of Uie phenomena, but not its eauso. lint truly, of Spencer I never tire. His ideas of the higher life are so consoling the ilevelopmont from an "indefinite, in-1 coherent homogeneity to a definite, coherent heterogeneity." What could lie truer or more conclusive? Perhaps the illiterate mind might he staggered by tlie unusual combination of pol VBvlhililes, but we who arc cultivated can appreciate tho subtle significance of a definite, coherent heterogeneity.

Jones is very fond ot cake, and when hi wife has company to tea ah usually instruct him beforehand not tc eat mors than one piece himself. One evening, however, company dropped in to tea unexpectedly and Mrs. Jones had no time to coach Jones. They sat down to the table and the first tiling Jones did when the tea was served waa to dip into the coke basket and possess himself of a large slice of citron cake, which he buttered profusely and quickly disposed of. Then, as he went on talking with the gentlemen of the party, and remarking that he had no sympathy with demagogues, he reached over and secured a generous piece of fruit cake.

"Jeptlial" said his wife warningly. The wretched man knew something was amiss, and, as usual, hit on the wrong tning. "I don't mean anything personal: Mr. Brown understands me, Maria, I am trying to reconcile the difference of parties; and he tackled the cake basket a third time, saying, as drew a section of pink and gold layer cake, Uiat ho felt persuaded the country was going to ruin.
