Women's Worries. If yon are ol a nervous, excitable temperament ponder upon these lines, fresh from the ready pen of Lady John Maimers; "Certain worries are sopposed to belong especially to women. Xhe management of servants is sometimes considered very difficult. It used to he said, 'A good mistress makes a good servant,' and undoubtedly kindness and consideration always draw people together, even when in different . positions. Though we should save ourselves mnch worry by once for all recognizing that no one is perfect, yet I think, by studying our servants' little peculiarities, we may hope to avoid the freonent changes which are so trying.
For instance, if we have any reason to think a servant's memory is defective, it-is a very good rule to give every order in writing. Indeed,. man v people make a point of writing orders for their carriages and horses; and I remember a gentleman who thoroughly understood the art of dining, who always had a state beside ham at dinner on which he wrote any remarks he wished to make for the chief. I knew a eookhousekeeper in a family which was unavoidably rather harum-scarum, sadden orders being sometimes given for many additional places at table. The orders were given by word of mouth, but that remarkable woman never made a mistake during the many years I knew her. When complimented one day on her good memory she pointed to a slate on which, she always wrote every detail at once. Perhaps some of us women have too great a tendency to adore our friends and worry them, as well as ourselves, by being too demonstrative, and expecting too much in return for our attachment. Always let your presence be desired, was the advice given by a man of the world to a lady anxious too keep her friends. Always treat your - friend as. if he might become your enemy, and your enemy as if he might some day be your friend, is a maxim that would save much heartburning.
Among minor worries dress certainly is one to some women. But if we remembered that ever period of life lias
its own charm I think tins anxiety would be lessened. To delicate persona the little precautions essential to
preserve health are often very worrying; but if they recollected how precious their health is to loving their
friends they would probably recognize
that in taking -care 01 themselves they
are snar.nsr ranch anxiety to others.
The warm wrap may be taken by the delicate person in order to spare friends anxietv: while perhaps the busy
man of letters will take more exercise for health's sake if he knows that those
who love him will he grate nu to bun
--' for so doing.

A Pittsburgh special says: The most anring and successful attempt that was ever mnde in this vicinity to rescue n prisoner, occurred Friday on the Cleveland and Pittsburgh Express, which left this city Friday night, for Cleveland.
Captain aoeuono nna ueieeuve nuiugiiu, of Cleveland, having received n requisition, determined to return lo Cleveland with their prisoner, Harry McMunn, who was accused of having been concerned in, the recent extensive far robbery in that city. They took very precaution to prevent any attempt that might be mado ly the pals of McMunn to rescne him. Securely handcuffed, the prisoner was placed on tho train at tho outer depot in Allegheny. Ho took his arrest very coolly and seemed anxious to cause the defectives as little trouble as possible. At '2 o'clock
in the morning at Alliance, Ohio, five men
boarded the tram and passed througn
Kftvftinl of tho curs. Fiuallv they saw the
officers and their prisoner sitting in the smoking car. No sign of recognition passed between McMuuu and the men and thv Kt down a few seats from the pris
oner. When llavenna was reached the
live men arose suddenly from their Knats and without warning drew their
revolvers on the officers. They were but
two other passengers in the car and the confederates of McMuuu were complete nmRlors of the situation. Oi:o of the men
demanded their prisoner, but instead of
complying with their reqnest, the officers
inmped to their feet and allcnipt-. u to draw
their revolvers, but ihev were loo late, as
tho five men opened lire on them. C'apt.
Hoehene leeled and tottered over into the aisle with bullets in the shoulders and thigh. As ho fell one of the gang jumped on him and kick him until he lay still as death. When the firing first commenced, Detective Hul.itrau received several bullets
in his body. He still attempted to defend
himself and another volley was Area at him. until soven bullets bad placed his
body. He tottered and Ml insensible on 'the seat. He was then kicked until his head was split open. The passengers became terrorized and hid under the seats. Tim alnrm was snread to the other cars
and the train men and passengers hurried forward, but the prisoner and his rescuers had disannenred. The iniured wero taken
on to Cleveland. A larse reward has been
offered for the apprehension of the as
sailants, but the latest dispatches from
llavenna, state that they have not yet been captured. i The President has signed the Iuter-State Commerce Bill. The signing of the law bv the President was in full accord with
the oninion of Attoinev General Garland,
rendered to him. and is very well under
stood to have been in accord with the views
of the Cabinet. Tho Attorney General was asked to give his views in regard to the biU and explain wherein it differed from
ine senate mil oi ivvu yours ugu, uiwi un oimosed on tho ground thai it was uncon
stitutional. He declined to do so, saying
he regarded the opinion he had given to tne President on the subiect as strictly confi
dential. It is learned, however, from
trustworthy sources, that the Attorney
General, as well as the President, eon-
the bill which has iust become a law
free from all tho material features which were objectionable in the Senate bill two
years ago. i Pittsburgh special: The limited ex
press from Cincinnati on the Pan Handle road, neur Coshocton, had tho engine thrown from the track and tho train came to an abrupt halt, but the passengers were not hnrt. A cross tie had been iilaced on
the track for the purpose of throwing the train from the track. The parties are known
and will be arrested.
