It is said that " curses like chickens come
home to roost," but as eggs come before
chickens, the curse 'in their case is also
quicker in its operation: We saw a fellow
last night who stole an egg, and put it in
his pocket, but in a minute or so after, by
incautiously leaning against a bench, got it
broke, and yolk and white struggled for
escape to the open air. There was a " dust
ing out" of pocket-dining and a demand for
chips to scrape the sticky mess off. ' Steal
ing eggs isn't good policy when you have
no place but your pockets to put them in. i
Good Measure. Saloon keepers like
t be prepared for their customers. On
the dock yesterday, a rather greedy im
biber asked for a "big glass" of beer. The
kecr was under the counter, and "the pro
prietor seemed to be a good . deal longejj
than usual about drawing the glassful, but
presently it appeared, being a. tumbler, that
held nearly two quarts.' The applicant "for
beer had riot moral courage enough1 to 'at
tack so large a quantity,1 and got well
laughed at by the others present. He will
not call for a Vbig glass" again until he has
some idea Of the dimensions of those tie sa
loon keeper may have for just such oc-

How's This ?Whether thf ' following
" fact " occurred in one of our Ibook-stores
or not, we do not propose to tell ; we only
assert that it did occur, and'that it is too
good to keep. A lady and gentleman, whose
connubial bliss is perfect in everything save
the presence of children around the domes
tic fireside, were examining some illumina
ted mottoes the other day, when the wife
picked out lor purchase one bearing the
words,' u God bless our Home." The hus
band thought that very good, but still net
exactly what they wanted. Looking a littie
further, he "picked up this one, " Suffer lit-
tie children to come unto me," ana wnn a
most solemn air assured his wife that. that
was what they wanted. K

Mu55ERED.We learn, says the Sentinel
of yesterday, that !Mr" Miles Draughon, of
Johnston county, was shot by some unknown
person,' on the night of the 14th inst. He
was at the house ot ' a young man in the
neighborhood who was from home, and Mr.
Praughon was staying there during the
night, having arriyeol after the young, man
had left lo go to rifs father's. On bis re:
turn, on the morning of the 15th, the young
man whose name we did ' not learn, found
praughon on the bed,, with two wounds in
the lorehead, made by tne discharge , of a
double barreled gun, as js supposed. The
motive for the murder was, '. doubtless, to
obtain some $700 the murdered man had
in his possession. An inquest was held but
no clue to the murderefr.' .
