On Saturday afternoon nnd early in the
evening two or three parties of roughs from
Parker's Landing, Sbnmlurgb and Rouse
rille, made things lively on the street for a
abort time. The Sharaburg parly, under
the leadership of one Williams, baving in
dulged pretty freely la "chain lightning,"
sought n quarrel with tie Parker's LaBding
and Rouseville parly. Parker's Landing
and Rousevillo buving also Imbibed vast
quantities or "blno ruin" msisted tho on
slaught aud tlio Bght became general. At
the depot, when tbo evening train came in,
the roughs came together sgain ami a grand
row ensued, In wbic!i the Sliamhurg roughs
wcreralbor severely handled, Williams, the
loader of that party, receiving a severe
beating. Alter getting on the train the
l'.irkei's Landing an! Rousetrille roughs
nbo bad bung together up to that time, bi
tame involved iu a quarrel and fought nil
the way to Rouseville, at which place tLo-e
belonging there got out, and probably actu
ated by feelings of revenge and bad whis
ky, stoned tbo car la which iho Parker's
Landing men were seated, breaking several
windows and doing ether damage. The
only thing to bo regretted is that they did
not beat oue another so badly as to have
laid them up and thereby prevented them
from doing further damage for a time at
least.

Ex-Secretary of War, Justice E. M. Stan
ton, died on Friday morning, at 3 o'clock,
of congestion of tbo heart. Mr. Stanton
bad been eon fined to tho bouse for about
week. The President and Vice 1'residea
Ust Sunday, bis fifty. fourth birth-day, when
the former tendered, to him his appointment
s Associate Justice of Supreme. Court, for
which Stanton expressed his gratitude and
acceptance. Thursduy Stanton complained
of sickness, but his family were not alarmed
as to a fatal result, as he bad, a parently,
been in a moruco condition previously.
Shortly after midnight his symptoms be
came alarming. Surgeon-General Barnes
was present on bis accustomed visit bit'
found It impossible to afford relief. Rev,
Dr. Starkie, of the Church or Epiphany
Protestant Episcopal, was summoned, but
ebortly afterward the sufferer lost conscious
ness, an I was unable to converse, with any
one, Pulsations ol bis breast ceased tor a
few seconds and then returned, his breathing
being very faint. It was not until half an
hour before bis deatb that bis family could
realize be was dying. About three o'clock
a. in. he expired, quietly breathing away
without a struggle. At his bedside, In his
last moments were bis family, consisting ol
his eldest son. Edwin L. Stanton, Ella, bis
eldest daughter, about twelve years nrage,
Lewis, bis second sou, nine years of age,
Bessie, bis youngest child, aged live, and

Tub Bakkkr orConTKZ The Picayune,
in a compilation of Mexican news lately
published, bad a paragraph announcing
that the banner or Coriez, -the renowned
conqueror of the Aztecs, had beco discovered
iu the muuicipal palace at Tlascala. This
is no discovery. It has always been known
that the banner was at Tlascala. When
Gen. Joe Lane, in the Mexicau war with
the United States, conducted an expedition
to Tebuacan, south of Oriziba, in pursuit
of Santa Anna, on returning to the capital,
after passing through Pueblo, he turned to
the north and took Tlascala in bis route
The banner was then known to Le depoiitqd
there in a church on the top of a high and
steep bill, and the writer of this, and sever
al others who wero with Gen. Lme, had
the relic in their binds, were tempted us
luke it as a trophy of war, and would have
taken it but that the Alcalde cf the town
and the Padre in ehatgeof the church pre
vailed upon Gen. Lauo uot to allo.v it to
bo removed.
Eexzinb. Like all volatile oils, benzine
posfesses the properly of jiving to the
papers a certain degree ol transparency,
which disappears wherever tho liquid is
evaporated! this property enables drawers
to use for their requirements' common pnper
instead or oil paper specially prepared.
It Is 8'jffli.icat t dump with b.-nzine the
design or object to be copiud, ia order to
distinctly rtorcieve, through the paper cov
ering it, the features of the modal under
neath, which may thou be followed aud
traced either with p?'ucil or with china ink.
The benzlno, which soon evaporates, leares
no trace whatever, and the paper again
becomoa opaque. The original design cr
mod'l, besides. Is in no way injured. As
regards the odor that the liquid lenvis be
hind it, the paper can My be freed from
it by airing and healing it tor a few hours.

Vai.ce of a Kiss. Mark Twain says
A year or two ago I dined in San FrunrUco
with tin family of a pioneer, and talked
with bis daughter, a young lady whoso flntl
experience in San Francisco was an adveu
lure, though sho herself did not remember
it, as she was rnly two or thioe years old
at the time. Her father said that, after
lauding from tho ship, they were walking
up the Rtreet, u servant leading the party
with tho little girl in her arms. And pres
ently a huge miner, bearded, bolted, spur
red, und bristling with deadly weapons just
dowo from a long- milling campaign in tho
mountains evidently barred the wny, stop
ped tho s.-r vuil, and stood gazing with a
lace all alive with gratillcatiou und asto n-
ishmjnt. Then ho said, reverently, "Well,
II it aiu't a child!-' Aad then he snatchc-l a
little leather sack out (if his pocket, and
said to the servant, '-There's a hundred and
fifty dollars la dust there, aud I'll give it
to you to let me kiss tho child!" But see
bow things change Sitting at that dinner
table, listening to that anecdote, if I had
off -led doulilo the money tor the privilege or
kissing tho same child. I would have been
refused. Seventeen udded years bad far
more than doubled the price.
