How many living ear-witnesses are there watt- | ig to be made famous on account of where they were, instead ot what they did in 1815? Alex. Kennedy had better lie relegated to the obscu rity out of which the Times has dragged him, •oid into which he appears to have crawled while the battle was raging. A man who is present nt a great battle, and lives seventy-one years nffer- v.ard to boast ttiat he was there and participated with his eyes, Is not apt to Inspire the martial spirit of the rising generation. When it has been decided to hold an inquest over those slain in the battle of New Orleans, Alex, will be in de mand, and cun come down to the foot-lights in his great specialty as an “eye witness." Hr Wa, Insane. “The jurv ut Birmingham, Ala., trying the ease of Toni Klt i s, editor of a paper called The Hornet, on Saturday afternoon returned a verdict Of not guilty, on ttie ground of insanity." It is not stated wliat the evidence of insanity was, hut i( was not necessary. The symptoms of insanity among editors are always the same. First the victim begins to take advice tVom outsiders in regard to running liis own business. Then lie begin- to take subscriptions on credit, and take voinplimenthvy tickets ill the place of currency. After that he will take anything he can lay liis hands on, amt do anything that comes into his head. He is insane.

At length the strike has readied Co-I hinibns, but we are gratified to announce that it inis come in a very mild form, ll ! is confined, not only to one mill, but to the weavers in the quilt department of | that mill. t’j. to this date the Swift Manufacturing Companv|havc been pay ing fourteen cents for weaving eaeli <{ui11. At first, when the hands were not accus tomed to t at style of weaving, and the looms were not as conveniently arranged as they are now. the weavers could not earn milch better wages than those mak ing cheeks and plaids, hut when the hands became expert and the looms were better arranged it was found that their wages amounted to much more than other weavers. This What the governor of North Carolina said to the governor of South Carolina sink, into dreary insignificance compared to what the president of the Uunited States said to him. There is an ocean of difference between remarking to a man that it is a long time between drinks and asking him to accept the custody of Uncle Sam’s money bags. Hereafter the ear of the chief executive of the Palmetto state will be turned toward the white house, and not toward North Carolina. < inki nil usr for nnitK. The Pueblo Star is rather severe on Bluing's lieutenant, and indirectly upon scalawags. That journal says: “In Steve Elkins’ enumeration of his demo cratic relatives he forgot to mention the fact that he was, like his good old father, a red-hot rebel, and only turned republican for pay. Both Steve and Tom Catron were confederate soldiers. It seems to be forgotten entirely by the fiery knight of the waving plume that his chief lieutenant was a rebel soldier. It is a wonder that James O. is not afraid the ‘rebel yell' will not slip out of i tempting to maintain it Steve at an inopportune moment. Yes, Steve marched under Pap Price. We know it.” That|Flkins was a coiift'ilcratc sol<lii*r is somewhat to his credit. If Maine had been a federal soldier it would he some thing to his credit, hut he was not. It is to be regretted that Blaine, Logan, Sher man, Hoar, et al. were not federal soldiers.

The other day the | mayor of East St. Louis was fined by the court j for not appearing and giving evidence when sub poenaed, and the eastern papers marked him down as the mayor of St. Louis with disparaging j comments. The M mtreal Herald says: “As matters stand j the Canadian fishermen, the United States fish- j ermen. and the people of both nations are agreed j in believing that the Canadian government have ‘backed down,' and our country' is humiliated in j the eyes of the world.” The Herald, however, ' should remembei that there is less humiliation in ! backing down from a wrong position than in at- 1 Preparatory to their annual stock-taking there will be a marked reduction in the prices of all Black Goods.

Tlie manager of the mill felt that this inequality was unjust, and for tlie pur pose of equalizing the wages determined to reduce the pay to 12j rents per quilt. ]• ten at this reduetion tlie hands in the quilt department Mould earn inure than those making cheeks. But the weavers were not willuig to accept tlie reduetion, and without waiting for orders from the Knights of Labor, refused to go on with their work. We understand that confer ences have been had, and there is a strong probability that the hands will go to work Monday morning, it gives us pleasure to state that tills strike is not likely to become general, and thut it has been considered hy the operatives in our mills calmly and without passion. Tlie truth is that the head men in our factories are very conservative, and will not enter xi j a *11 a strike or even encourage one, ex- eept for good cause. When men have the intelligence to understand not only their own rights, but tlie rights of others, and the disposition to do as they would be done by, there is but little danger of a general strike. We are satisfied that when causes of dissatisfaction arise tlie operatives will act with moderation and ' where they have universally made tlie managers with justice. I citizens.

Born in the puri tan city of Providence, K. years ago, ut an early age bo turned his attention to art. lie is by nature an artist, and his years of study and tuition in eastern cities have developed him into one of tlie fore most young decorators of liis time. Some veal's ago he came south to decorate the interior of tlie Church of the I maculate Conception, at Atlanta, and, liking the people and climate, determined to locate soutli of Mason and Dixon’s line. Since then lie has been joined by his brothers, F. R. and George, and churches and fine dwellings in every principal city of the south attest their ability, energy and en terprise. "My system,” said Mr. Sheridan during a recent conversation, “had been for some time GRADUALLY RUNNING DOWN, "I was not sick, in a general sense of the word, but mv physical strength was feeling the severe strain I had been for years putting upon it in the active men ial labor necessary in the pursuit of my avocation.

For some time past I had been losing vigor, when my attention was called to Hunnieutt's Kheuniatie Cure as a tonic and strengthens* of the sys tem.

Her joints were swollen and distorted, great knots had formed upon her hand. She could only with great difficulty and pain manage to walk, and was a constant suf ferer from this dreadful disease. We tried everything we could read or hear of, and took advice of eminent practi tioners without any benefit in tlie way of permanent relief. I was induced to try Hunnieutt’s Rheumatic Cure a short time ago, ALTHOUGH I HAD LOST FAITH in all patent medicines and nostrums and considered her case incurable. "The effect was magical; the jiains have entirely vanished; the swelling anil dis tortion of her joints has disappeared, and the disease lias been, I verily believe, eradicated from her system. She is still using the medicine as a precautionary measure, and her general good health is being restored by it. J can honestly and fearlessly recommend Hunnieutt’s Rheu matic Cure as the best medicine for rheu matism and the blood upon tlie market.” For sale by wholesale aud retail drug gists everywhere.
