England consumes five times as much tea as coffee. Tho Grand Chapter of Masons met in Charleston on the 10th instant. Feb. 3d, 3835, ffOUa Nature’s Kind Provisions.—Tlie camel can work in the deserts without drinking for a week. The indications are that nothing will be done with the dynamite resolutions in the House. Emperor William has subscribed $50,000 for the relief of sufferers by- the earth quakes in Spain. Military men now declare that even Todleben’s 12 months’ defence of Sebas topol fell short of Gordon’s 12 months’ de fence of Khartoum. The New Orleans Shell Road.—The famous New Orleans Shell road is a boul evard of almost snowy whiteness nearly 200 feet in width and 9 miles long. Col. George R. Black is said to be regaining his former good health. This is very gratifying to his many friends. UnhapPy Man.—A condemned murder er, at Marshall, Texas, passed his hat around the court room on receiving his ileath sentence, for tho benefit of his wife and children. Major General Charles G. Gordon was born in 1830, and was a younger son of the late Lieutenant-General Henry Wil liam Gordon, R. A. He was educated at Taunton and Woolwich military ac ademy. Reinsdorfand Kenchler, the anarchists sentenced to deatli some weeks ago by the imperial court, at Leipsic, for attempting to cause the death of the emperor and other royal persons at the Neicerwald celebration, were executed yesterday at Halle. The execution took [dace ;u tin- prison and was made by the sword. Phelan, in court, after being sworn, said that Short gave him 11 stab wounds within the office of Jeremiah O’Donovan Rossa. Short was held in $3,000 bail for his appearance in court the next day. The farmers hare utilized the line, fine sunny days in the first week of February. The long spells of bad weather in January greatly depress ed them. February generally is a good month for plantation work. War in Egypt.—It appears evident from accounts that England is deter mined to push the war in the Sou dan. She can and will, if necessary, send a large number of troops to the Arabian deserts. It will take months to accomplish her purposes, but the Arabs will not be able to resist her power. _ The Nicaraguan Treaty.—The vote for ratification of the treaty" in secret ses sion of the Senate was 32 for, and 28 against. This defeated it, of course, as it required two thirds to pass it and there was no likelihood of another vote upon it at this se»slon. Public Morals.—A Philadelphia paper wants to see the morals of Florida eleva ted and improved. It has not expressed an opinion as far as we have seen, about some one’s stealing tho roof of an alms house near the city of Philadelphia. It would be difficult to show any immorality in Florida worse than that, or even as bad. David Dudley Field, now eighty- years old says: “My recipe for self- preservation is exercise. I am a firm believer in exercise. 1 walk every day from my house to my office, a distance of about three miles and a half and I feel as well to-day as I ever did in my life. I have taken care of myself, and as I havo a good constitution, I suppose that is the reason I am so well.” Hon. A. R. Lawton.—A number of prominent Democrats, among them Senator Colquitt, H. T. Turner, John C. Nichols, Thomas Hardeman, and J. C. Clements, called on Mr. Cleve land, and urged the appointment of Hon. A. R. Lawton, of Sarannan, for Postmaster-General. A better man for the place cannot be found than General Lawton. The following are the appointments of Rev. Sam Jones. His services are every where in demand. Writing from Brook lyn to brother Bowen, of the North Miss issippi Conference, he says: "I will noi iret away from here for two or three weeks. I go from here to Charleston, South Caro lina, thence to Jacksonville, Florida, thence to Chattanooga, Tennessee, thenc<- Huntsville, Alabama, thence to Mississip pi.”—New Orleans Christian Advocate. At sunrise daily Gen. Gordon mounted to the roof, and made a careful survey of tin- whole country with his telescope, and mar ked any changes which may have taken place in the enemy’s position. If nothing unusual happened, and there were no signs- of any movements on the part of the Mahdi’8 men, he retired into his quarters and slept the greater part of the day. He arose before sunset, and after darkness had set in he started for the ramparts, which he perambulated all night, seeing that the sentries were all properly posted and on the alert, and cheering the troops by his conversation and example. President elect Cleveland went down from Albany to New York a few days since. There was no pa rade about it, and but few knew of bis visit. It was soon found out, however, and of course numbers call ed to see him at the Victoria hotel were he stopped. An Albany demo crat, a warm personal friend, asked him something about his cabinet. “My dear fellow” said Mr. Cleveland, “I have not asked a single gentle man, to take a cabinet portfolio ex cept Mr. Bayard. I try honestly to keep my mind in a receptive, judi cial state, so as to learn all about the men who are to form my political family.” There are long statements in the papers about him, and descrip tions of the rooms he and his Secreta ry, Col. Lamont, occupy, but we pass oxer all that, the descriptions of the decorations, the sofas, pictures, &c. Mr. Cleveland is a plain man, and takes no interest in such things, but everything is comparatively plain as it was known that would be more agreeable to him than any showy ar- rttpguments. EGYPTIAN WAR. The ministry will sanction any de mand of General Wolselet* to defeat the Mahdi, and will secure the re lease of Gen’l Gordon if alive or wreak vengeance upon the Arabs if he is slain. They have wasted time, and lost the opportunity to relieve Gordon. The great question now, is, can General Wolsely relieve Stew art? The London papers say the Mahdi must be crushed. The Daily News says: “Seldom, in the memory of living man, has news been receiv ed of such disaster to England. We hope the voice of faction will be un heeded. The danger must be met by a national resolve. We must act instantly and vigorously.” Wolseley says he can retake Khar toum, but it would take five weeks to get there, and the hot season will commence by that time and make the undertaking difficult and hazardous. The cabinet has given Wolseley a carte blanche to take any measure for the rescue of Gordon, if alive, and to make such military operations as he may deem advisable to regain the ground lost in the Sou dan by the fall of Khartoum. In France, as in England, Gordon’s name is on every one’s lips, and everything else, but the story of his heroism, seems for the time forgot ten. Ten thousand troops, at sta tions in the Mediterranean, are available for service in the Soudan. All Europe is concerned in the fall of Khartoum and Le Paris says, if England is powerless to restore or der, the powers must interfere and do it. A message from the Mahdi sum moned Wilson to surrender, and at the same time stated that Gen. Gor don was wearing the Mahdi’s uni form. It is the general opinion in Milita ry circles that Gordon is dead. Gen. Wolseley says a messenger has been sent to ascertain the fate of Gen. Gordon. President Cleveland's Cabinet. A number of our brethren of the press, are presenting to us the names of the yen tiemen who will constitute the Presiden tial cabinet,. It is a very easy thing to m ake a guess, but most people who have dealt in prognostications, have found it to lie an uncertain business; at least we can apeak for one. In a majority of cases, we have been disappointed, and therefore we prefer to await developments. We will ill know soon. Mr. Cleveland has kept iiis purposes to himself. We doubt if any man knows, certainly, who, will be a mem ber of his cabinet, but we will all know in a little over tw T u weeks. We feel but little.sokcitude on the subject, simply, be cause we have an abiding confidence thai President Cleveland will make a judicious selection for every advisor whom he may call to aid him in administering the gov ernment upon sound principles for the best, interests of the whole country. That is all the people can want, and we believe their wishes and hopes will be gratified. Believing this, we await with patience the announcement of a wise and judicious se lection of his counsellors. We feel as easy is if they were already announced to our complete satisfaction. $100.

We have reason t o believe that our sub scribers have sympathized with us in the conduct aud principles of the Union A Recorder. But four or five of our sub senbers have withdrawn their patronage within the past year, and each one oi them we believe did so from pecuniary considerations. Nothing could be more gratifying to us than that evidence of good will and satisfaction with the paper. We shall not be wanting in efforts to make it even better than in the past, and particu larly, in furnishing choice reading for the family circle. _ A Chicago dispatch says three dem ocrats, of tho Illinois Legislature, state openly that they will not vote for Hon. Wm. R. Morrison for Sen ator for that State. It is supposed their objection is founded upon Mr. Morrison’s opposition to tho protec tive tariff. We hope the report is not true, especially as no democrat is seeking the Senatorship in opposi tion to Mr. Morrison. The party stands by him, and those three dem ocrats should yield to the majority. Here is a chance to defeat Logan, and their perverseness may elect him. The Democrats have the House and it is important for them to se cure the Senate. What are such Democrats worth to the party? We conld get along batter without them, when they may lose us the Senator for Illinois, to gain whom is of so much importance to the party. GENERAL GRANT’S MEMENTOES. Mrs, Julia D^nt Grant, with the consent of Mr. Wra, H. Vanderbuilt who had be come the owner of them, will give them to the United States Government. Theycon- vist, perhaps, of a hundred articles such as swords, medals, paintings, cabinets busts, wares of various kinds, rifles, gold headed canes, badges, military commis sions, addresses, and many other things which we have not the space to mention. Copies of the arrangement have been made out, one to be kept by Mrs. Grant, one by Mr. Vanderbuilt, and a third has been sent to President Arthur in behalf of the United States government. Thousands of per sons will inspect them hereafter, as me morials of the commander-in-chief of. the Union army in the late war. Some heathen, are not as much heathen as we think; read a Mahometan proverb. “God has bestowed the good things of this wot Id to relieve our necessities, not to re ward our virtues; these will be rewarded in another world.” We know of no great er necessity to be relieved, than a stubborn cold, and we know of no better relief than Dr. Bull’s Cough Syrup. There is some peril in drinking water as well as liquor. This is shown in the case of a Mr. Day, in Pennsylvania. We see it stated that he has been recently relieved of 13 water crabs and a milk snake 17 inches long. Special taxes are levied upon bachelors in France. France is a republic as well as the United States, but bachelors in the lat ter will give it the preference. The latest rumor about the earth is, it wili be a ball of ice in 3,000,000 of years. At that rate a good many generations of peo ple can get along without fear and trem bling *.5, fi- Washington Letter, From Our Regular Correspondent. Washington, Feb. 9th, 1885. The Capital during the week seems to have been shifted to New Y"ork city. At least New York has been the centre of po litical interest, but not half as many Dem ocratic Congressmen went to see the Pres ident-elect as were reported to have gone. A few who wert have returned and seem to be one and all much pleased with what they havo seen of the coming man, who is praised as a courteous listener and a frank talker. Affectation and mysterious ness are not among the faults of Mr. Cleve land. Nothing has been learned about the cab inet; it is evidently tho intention of the president to take all the time the law al lows him to build it, and since his Cabinet can do nothing until after the fourth of March, this deliberation would seem to be proper and politic. A certain class of government clerks are quietly preparing to go. They are tho chiefs of Bureaus and their chief clerks, also a large number who are conscious of their shady political antecedents. A large majority are hoping that they may avoid that fell sweep of the new broom. The opinion of those who have a practical knowledge of affairs in the Government offices is that there can be no real improve ment in government work until nine-tenths of the clerks, who are drones and politi cians, have been swept out and replaced, not necessarily by Democrats exclusively, but by competent men and real workers. There is a great deal of local talk about the inauguration, which is now only three weeks distant. The Democrats, of course, desire that tho parade, the ball, tho lire works, the decorations and the erowd, shall compare in respectability, taste and splendor with any previous similar occa sion. I think their vanity will be gratilied. There will be a line parade of citizen sold iery and civic organizations. The night will be painted in ail the hues of the rain bow by lire works; and the ball, in a hall largo enough to accommodate 12,000, and which any one can attend for the consid eration of live dollars will be simply stu pendous. General Hancock declined to lead the parade from the White House to the Cap- ited on the ground of a recent death in his ftrnily, and General McClellan, to whom the honor was next tendered, declined on account of engagements. It is well enough, tor neither of these old gentlemen can sit a horse as well as he could twenty-five years ago, and the leader of this parade must bestride a goodly steed. General locum has accepted the command of the ephemeral army, and there is no doubt that the brief campaign will be successful. As it is anticipated that a greater num ber of military organizations and civie as sociations will be in line on the fourth of March than were ever assembled here on inauguration day, the task to be assigne i to General Slocum is not an easy one. Four years ago General Sherman, with a large number of aids, found the labor of marshalling and moving the parade a greater one than lie had anticipated. It is 1 nominally an honor, but in fact a very ia- borious responsibility to assume the direc tion and movement of a vast collection of organizations in the brief time allowed for such a parade. On Wednesday the formal counting of electoral votes for President will take place in Congress. Of the thirteen appropriation bills, but one, the Military Academy bill, has passed its last stage in Congress. It awaits the action of the President. The condition of business in Congress is such that a minor ity or either house can easily force an ex tra session. But it is not apparent that there is any purpose to do so. The leaders of both iiouses express the opinion that the appropriation bills will be passed be fore the 4th of March. In which case no extra session will be necessary. Gen. Sheridan, tho Marshal of the Mon ument dedication has issued his orders and appointed iiis aids. The first division of the procession will be commanded by Gen. Ayers, the second by Gen. Fitzhugh Lee of Virginia. The city troop of Philadelphia wili come on a special train and bring their horses and glooms with them. They will wear their old revolutionary uniforms and will bring the standards carried at the battles of Princeton and Trenton. I have had hereditary scrofula broken out on me for eight years. My mother and one sister died with it, and I, supposing that I would go as otiier members of the family had, had despaired of life. The treatment of mercury and potash seemed to aggravate instead or curing the disease. In this condition I was pressed to use Swift's Specilic. After taking six bottles the fearful ulcers on my neck and arms disappaared and the scars only remain to remind me of my sufferings. Had I taken S 8. S. at first, I would have been a weii man lung ago. Frank Gilcheb, Oct. 18,1884. Danville, Ky. Eczema. I was affected for nearly four years with eczema. Tlie doctors called It at first ery sipelas. I was treated by Swift’s Specific. I used about thirty bottles and have had no trouble with it since. I refused to take jt, even alter it was recommended to me tty others, for some time—such was my prejudice to the name of it; but having tried it myself, I now believe it is the best blood purifier in all my knowledge. It did another thing for me. I have suffered from piles for many years. Since taking this medicine I have been relieved, and be lieve it cured me. R. H. Jones. Cartersville, Ga., August 25, 1884. My daughter, seven years old, has been afflicted with eczema for two years, and after trying other remedies in vain, I gave her Swift’s Specific (S. S. S..) and one and a half bottles cured her sound and well, it Is the best blood remedy in the country. Mrs. M. s. Judkins. Cedartown Mill, July 23,3884.

Thornton, of Shelbvville, 111., there has been collected $75,000 lor tlie first capital prize in Janua ry Drawing of The Louisiana State Lot tery. Daniel Shutt or Chicago, a visitor at the Exposition was the winner of one-fifth of the second capital prize of $25,000 in the same drawing, which also resulted in an equal prize collected for account of winner by \Y. Rolling, of the State National Bank, of New Orleans. The winning patties have all been paid in full, and should be very happy about their good fortune—New Or leans, Picayune, Jan. 13. Victoriano Niexez, a millionaire re siding at Carmen, Mexico, celebrated his golden wedding by giving $500,000 to his poor townsmen. An Important Discovery. The most important Discovery is that which brings the most good to the great est number. Dr. King’s New Discovery for Consumption, Coughs, and Colds, will preserve the health and save life, and is a priceless boon to the afflicted. Not only does it positively cure Consumption, but Coughs, Colds, Bronchitis, Asthma, Hoarseness, and all affections of the Throat, Chest, and Lungs, yield at once to its wonderful curative powers. If you doubt this, get a Trial Bottle Free, at E. A. Bayne’s Drug Store. THE RED-HEADED BABT. Boston Courier. Oh, fair Is the face of the red-headed baby ? Her velvety cheeks show the June rose’s dyes, And her eyes are so blue that I sometime* think, maybe, Thej’ caught their bright hue from the blue of the skies When the angels were bringing her through in the morning; For she came as the sun from the ocean arose, And his l^ams to the streams gave a gold en adorning, And the song birds awakened the world from repose. She has a red head, but I hardly think that’ll Detract from her beauty in any one's eyes; Her smile is like sunshine, like music her prattle, There ne’er was a baby so cunning and wise. Her lips are twin rosebuds, and 'twixt their red portals Two snowy white pearls are revealed to the view; Her mamma declares she’s the sweetest of mortals, The red-headed baby whose eyes are so blue. She never excited our temper caloric By screaming aud bawling with anger or fright; I never was called on to bring paregoric To sooth her to sleep at the dead of the night; I never .was waked in the cold winter sea son To sing to that baby while walking the floor, No, never, indeed, for a very good reason— The darling belongs to the people next door. WHEN THE CRICKETS CHIRR. [Villanelle.] Written for the Times-Democrat. My love he comes when the crickets chirr, And the night wind flies on his wander ing quest, And the lily cups spill their garnered myrrh. With what delight do my pulses stir! ior black Is tne brow of the darkened West. And my love he comes when the crickets chirr. On the night’s soft cheek not a cloud to blur. But a star peeps out at her fond behest, Aud the lily cups spill their garnered myrrh. As the wings of birds that winnow and whirr, Flutters the heart In my swelling breast, And my love ho comes when the crickets chirr. Speed to my arms, O, thou loiterer! The birdlings sleep on their downy neat, Ana the lily cups spill their garnered myrrh, Hark ! ’tis the ring of a rider’s spur! Aud a 6talliou’s hoofs on the gravel pressed. My love ho comes when the crickets chirr. And the lily cups spill their garnered myrrh.—Dabney Marshall. THE EDITOR. Some of tlie Joys and Sorrows of an Editor's Life. What is this? i bis, dear, is that suffering animal, the editor. But what is the editor? He is the man, darling, that runs the paper. My! I thought the paper ran itself.

And that the dyspeptic genius wrote the poems? Certainly. And the poor compositor, I thought he put thiugs into type? Yes. Aud that the printer, he worked off the edition? You are right. Then, what in the name of goodness does the editor do? He talks. With whom? With people who come in to help him pass away the time. Oh! then the editor has plenty of time to waste? Lots. Who is the long-haired lunatio with the roll of paper? He is the gifted poet. What does he want? He wants to know what became of that “Ode to a Withered Violet,” in 47 stanzas, which he sent last spring. What did become it? It was filed away in the stove. Does the editor say that? Oh, no. What does he say? He says that he sent it back. My! but isn’t that, atwister? Yes, dear. What does the poet say? He says he is so sorry, because tho Cen tury offered hin $G5 for it. And what is tnat? A lie. And who is that gentieman with the club? He is tho “Constant Reader." Ana he wants— To inquire why his lost communication was not answered. And whv was it not? Because it was seven colums long and Is only In the interest of one person. Who was that? Himself. Anri that fashionable gentleman suck ing his cane? He is the delight of the editorial room. What is his business? He ha6 none. Why then does he come? Because it is too late for luncheon and too early to walk in the avenue. But I do not ftnderstaud. Neither does the editor. How long will he stay? A couple of hours. And that last man—tho undertaker? S-li-h! dear. That is not an underta ker. Who is it then? The funny man. Oh! What does he want? He wants to read the editor his last joke. Where did he get it? From a work on the “Tombs of the Early Egyptian Kings.” My! Then this is the way the editor spends his time. Principally. One long, delightful reception? Y'es, dear. Then the editor has nothing in the world to wish for or pray for? Oh, yes; one thing. And what is that? Death. $1.00 FOR 50 CENTS.
