A milkman named James Anderson, living near Dead wood, while on hi* regular trip, and w hen about two mile* from his ranch, was waylaid, gagged and bound by masked men who robbed him of the horse* in his wagon and fJO In money.

Thirty-six new cases of fever and seven deaths in New Orleans for the twenty-four hours ending at noon yesterday. The Democrats of the Fifteenth Ohio district nominated Judge Geo. W. Geddcs for Congress on the (so say the dispatches) 1,355th ballot ! Debate on the Hartington resolution was resumed in the House of Commons yester day. Lord EJcbo, Conservative, attacked the opposition and charged the Ru&so-Turk- ish war to their course. He was replied to by W. E. Foster, Liberal, who attributed the war to the policy of the government In iso lating itself from the other powers. He ai«o attacked the Angio-Turkish agreement, pronouncing it unconstitutional in the man ner of it* adoption. The debate continued at great length with some acrimoniousness, »,l finally the resolution was defeated by 33** to 195. Plunkett's amendment express ing confidence In the Ministry was then adopted without a division. On account of dullness of trade the cot ton mills of Hornby A Non, the largest In the Blackburn district of England, will be closed in a fortnight. In the county election at Memphis on Thursday the National Greenbackers elect ed their entire ticket of thirteen candidates. The Archbishop of Canterbury, Primate of England, calls upon all the clergy of his diocese who have been pray ing for peace, to return thauk* that their prayers have been answered. A special from Harrisburg, Pa., states that a woman named Sarah Hartley, has confessed to the murder of an aged, miserly couple, found in the ruins of a fire which destroyed their residence, near Troxlerville, Snyder county, last winter. She implicates four men and another woman, besides her self in the double murder. The victims' house was burned lo make it appear that they perished in the fire. Efforts are being made to impeach her veracity, but her state ment is generally believed. The Chinese Embassy leaves for the East to-day. At a meeting between the Am bassador and several prominent Chinese merchant* yesterday in San Francisco the matter of the treatment of their country men in the United States was discussed. The Ambassador repeatedly referred to the great friendship existing between his own and this country. Thursday night two .negro burglars en tered the store and dwelling house of Mr. Mosby Henly In Goochland county, fifteen miles west of Richmond, Virginia, for the purpose of robbing, but were frightened off. Afterward, a* Mr. Henly was looking from his window, he was shot and severely wound ed In the face, and immediately another shot w as fired through the door, striking his moth er-in-law, *.Mr*. Dinnard, in the abdomen. They then demanded money and goods, which Mr*. Henly gave them, and they left. Henly recognized the man who shot -him, and the people of the county are In pursuit. Mr*. Dinnard will probably die. The Prospect* of a foHbloa with Mexico. The New Orleans Tim** of Wednesday say* "If our advices from the Kin Grande be even approximately true, we think it entirely safe to assert that Mr. Nuncio and Mr. Oroolas and the rest of the howling, crazy marauder* whom Diaz has taken under his especial wing, are in a fair way to be gratified in what se^ms to be a consuming desire for trouble. They are reported to be acting in a manner that will inevitably bring on a conflict with our troops. The instruc tions to General Ord touching raider* have not been revoked or even modified, and yet the Mexicans are assuming a tone and policy that must precipitate a collision the first time those instructions are acted on by General Ord. Perhaps it is just as well. We shall evidently never hare anything like a per manent condition of tranquility in that quarter until the cattle thieves along the Rio Grande are made to feel that the ‘Gringos' are demonstra tively angry. We see that a Mexican paper at Peidraa Negros announces that General Nuncio has troops enough to thrash all the Americans and El Combat* is again calling upon Diaz to crack his whip over the crouching forms of the detested Yankiadot. We are for peace every time, especially in the case of the Mexicans, for a certain classs of whom we entertain a genuine sympathy and re gard, but we are beginning to think that Mexico really needs a wholesale letting of correct and liberal ideas, and are ready to concede that the sooner Mr. Diaz cracks his whip the better for all parties concerned. Trouble is evidently brewing upon the frontier. Maybe the process had as well proceed without fur ther delay or interruption." The aspect of affairs on the Rio Grande is daily growing more and more threatening, and there is just cause to fear that Mexican insolence may precipi tate a collision, which would be but too gladly accepted by a portion of our own people who weigh the national calamity of war lightly against the personal and pecuniary benefits which they anticipate would result from it. Measures should lie promptly adopted to put an end to these continual disturbances on our Mexican frontier, but it would be better for both nations, if that result could be accomplished by wise diplomacy instead of devastating and expensive war. To Correspondents. In opening our columns tocorrespond- •nta in order that they might present the names of their respective friends to the consideration of the Democracy of the First District in connection with the approaching Congressional nomination, we reserved the right and assumed the duty of restricting such communications to the simple discussion of the claims and qualifications of the gentlemen in whose advocacy they were written, and of excluding from them everything like unfriendly criticism or personal attacks on competitors. < >ur columns being open to all alike, with this restriction, there can be no rea sonable objection to such a canvass of the respective merits of Congressional as pirants. No injustice is done to individ uals in anticipution of the action of the nominating convention, and nothing is said which the author, as a good Demo crat, might desire unsaid when the nomi nation is announced. We make this statement in explanation of suppressions, and of eliminations which we have felt constrained to make from communica tions that have already appeared in our columns. The Parti tie* #f T«rkey An eminent Russian, according to a Paris leUter published in the Ftil Mall Gazette, has expreseed his discontent with the work accomplished in the Con gress in the following terms: “ A hun dred year* after the last partition of Po land. the Congress of Berlin has pro nounced the partition of Turkey That Empire, founded by valiant conqueror*, but 111 governed by their successors, has succumbed, not to the blows struck by Russia, but to those struck by England. It was Lord Beaconsfleld who. by his perfidious counsels, encouraged the Turks to accept war with Russia—a war which has forever broken their power in Europe. By imposing its protectorate. England now reduces Turkey to a state of vas salage. It is England who will rule over Anatolia, as she already rules over the Khedive of Egypt. With out having fired a single cartridge she has seized on the lion's share, the isle of Cyprus; and. to the great as tonishment of the world, the powers which have vital interests in the Medi terranean permit England, by the fortifi cation of Larnaca, to dictate the law at once in the East and in the West. And what has been the conduct of England toward the Greeks? Lord Beaconsfleld deceived them as he deceived the Turks. He hindered them from conquering the Greek provinces of Turkey when the Russian arms were victorious. On his side Lord Beaconsfleld has obtained all be desired. He hindered the Russians from taking Constantinople and from forming a powerful and inuepenuent Bul garia: he ceded to us Batoum, only as a free port; he forced us to restore Baya- zid, for which we paid our blood; he prevented us from obtaining a pecuniary indemnity from Turkey, to which we had a right. In fact. Lord Beacons fleld has damaged the interests of France, Italy and Austria; by the position England has assumed in Cyprus, she has annihilated Turkey, and has hin dered Greece from claiming the prov inces inhabited by their compatriots.'' According to the* same authority, the following will be the consequences of the Congress: "Bulgaria and the two Iioumelias will declare their freedom; Bosnia and Herzegovina will become Austrian; Albania may possibly fall to Italy; the isles will sooner or * later be united with Greece; Egypt, Tunis and Tripoli will detach themselves from the Porte, and England, by promises of rail ways, etc., will establish herself in those countries. As for the Sultan, he may he able to bang on for another century at Stamboul, thanks to the jealousies of the various European powers who will main tain him there." Mary Medill, a comely white girl of sixteen, was on Tflursday of last week stripped to the waist, tied to the Eliza beth City. Va.. court house whipping post and given twenty-five lashes with a raw hide, the master of the cat-o'-nine tails being a negro constable, big, burley and accustomed to bard knocks. The girl had stolen a pair of shoes. The constable barely touched her in his strokes, but it is said that all concerned in the whipping were miserable at the time, only executing the law under pro test. We find the above paragraph in a Southern exchange. We are unwilling to believe that such an outrage upon de cency and humanity was ever permitted in Virginia. If such a whipping as that described did actually take place, we do not hesitate to declare tliat it was a dis grace not only to those who participated in its execution, but also to the State whose laws tolerate such punishments. k TieterlMt B»bj. It appears that babies have some right* which even boarder* are bound to re sped. The occupant of the third story of a New York apartment house lately got out a temporary injunction against the rolling of a baby carriage over the floor above him at night by the miser* able father of a teething baby, declaring that the noise was intolerable and de prived him of sleep, and the case having been argued before Judge Van Holsen on a motion to make the injunction perma nent. the latter has dissolved it The learned Judge, in his opinion, says that the situation of dwellers in apartments, while in some respects it has greater ad vantages than that of those who occupy an entire house, in other respects has less, and they cannot expect the same quiet and repose. The man who occupies a room in a hotel must not be surprised if awakened at an unseasonable hour by the heavy footstep of some passing guest, nor need the plaintiff be surprised by the use of any ordinary means which the defendant might employ to lull his child to sleep. No man has a right to such immunity from noise that his neighbor cannot stir in his own room. The defendant had a perfect right to use the carriage in place of a cradle, though His Honor inti mated that good neighborship might suggest the use of a swinging cradle, which would answer the purpose equally well without making any noise. As a matter of law, if the defendant himself were taken sick and obliged to walk the floor all night through pain, the plaintiff would have no right to insist that he should use India rubbers. Where people indulge tbeir inclination to be gregarious they must not expect the quiet that be longs to solitude. Of course this decis ion does not apply lo cases where there is clear proof that the noise is unreason- able.and made without due regard to the rights and comfort of the plaintiff. BY TELEGRAPH. LATEST FOREIGN TELEGRAMS. Close *f the Debate on Lord Hart ingtou's Resolution. IT IS REJECTED BY A DECIDED VOTE. RATIFICATIONS OF THE TREATY’ OF BERLIN International Monetary Conference. Evacuation of Varna. If any reliance is to lie placed upon the telegrams from General Howard, the Oregon Indian war is about or quite over. The hostiles have broken up into small bands, and one of the two tribes is en route to its reservation. The war as caused by bad treatment of the In dians, and the same policy of ill treat- mi sjems to be followed by Ihe Indian Bureau with many other tribes. The result will of course lie more Indian wars. A convention of German teachers, in which all the States of the Union are represented, assembled in New Y’ork on Monday, and will continue in session four days. Mayor Ely welcomed the dele gates, and Mr. Klamroth, who spoke in German, said the greatness of a nation did not depend so much on its army or population as it did on the character of its schools, which, he said, they had com^ together to improve by introducing Die best systems of conducting the Ger man studies in them. One half of the delegates in attendance are ladies. The New Y'ork Timet, in an article on the Congressional contest in the South, claims that the Sixth district of Maryland will elect a Republican. It sees no hope for a gain in either Virginia or North Carolina. It claims a gain of one mem tier in South Carolina and one in Alaba ma It also claims that the Sixth dis trict of Mississippi can be carried for the Republicans, as well as the Tenth ' Tennessee, Second Arkansas, Ninth Kentucky, Second Florida, Fifth Texas. *ud First West Virginia. The New York Socialists. There was a meeting of the Socialistic I.aljor party in New Y’ork, in the Ger mania Assembly Rooms, in that city, on Tuesday evening, and a committee was appointed to visit the Congressional Com mittee* on Investigation of the State of ; Labor and lay before them the views of the Socialists. The following demands were approved by the meeting: "The establishment of an executive department, directly responsible to Con gress, whose functions shall be. To periodically number the people of the United States; to prepare and cany into effect an exhaustive system of industrial, economical, educational and vital statis tics; to vigilantly inspect all mechanical, mining, agricultural and commercial establishments, and operations employ ing persons working for wages; to sum mon and examine under oatn all persons possessing information, and examine all documents liearing on the industrial, in tellectual and sanitary condition of the people; to annually report their labors to Congress, and suggest appropriate legis lation to eliminate the evils from which society is now suffering; and, as a guide, wc present the platform of the Socialistic Labor party. " Fracds by Mail.—Information has reached the Post Office Department that certain parties in the State of Massachu setts are engaged in defrauding the pub lic by issuing illustrated catalogues for silverware, jewelry, and an invention by which the manufacture of Witter can be accomplished at a cost not exceeding four cents per pound. Order* containing money for the purchase of these articles have already been detected by the post office officials and returned to the parties forwarding the same, together with an endorsement to the effect that the adver tisement to which they have replied is fraudulent; such action being required by law when Postmasters are assured that the business is bogus. It is said that the parlies engaged in this work, as soon as discovered in one town, immediately move to another, and issue additional circulars announcing the same. The business is confined to the smaller towns of the State. Proposed Reception. —A New Y'ork letter states that prominent members of the Chamber of Commerce, as well as influential merchants who are not con nected with that body, think it might be a becoming act on their part to tender some sort of reception to the Chinese embassy on their arrival at New Y’ork en route to Washington. It is remem bered that on the arrival of the Chinese cmliassy in London the Board of Trade lost no time in paying their respects, and that this was followed up by an address from the Manchester Chamber of Com merce. Queen Mercedes' estate was easily set tled. According to Spanish law, her lands, jewels and dower should have been returned to ber father, and the King had ordered inventories to be taken, when the Duke of Montpensier interfered and in sisted that the King should retain his wife’s property. Alfonso refused to con sent to this, as it would be an act of in justice towards the Duke's children and their heirs, but the Comte de Paris and the Infanta Christine counseled him to accept. The King thus comes into pos session of the palace and estate of C’astil- leja, near Seville, of the Queen’s wonder ful jewels, and of her marriage portion of $.1,000,000. The dividends upon the stocks of which the dower is composed had not been collected, nor had the Queen's allowance from the Spanish Treasury been drawn at the time of her death. These sums are to be distributed among the poor of Madrid. For the information of the Congres sional commission to consider army re organization, Gen. Sherman has prepared a paper which indorses the principles of the special reports on the army made to Congress by Secretary of War John C. Calhoun. Calhoun held that the army should lie organized so as to discharge efficiently its duties in time of peace, and should be so framed as to admit of augmentation in time of war without confusion or disorder. Sherman accepts these fundamental principles and adopts the battalion as the unit of military or ganization, and on his basis of five regi ments of artillery, ten of cavalry and twenty of infantry, the peace establish ment would embrace 27,650 men and officers. American Manufactures in South America.—Mr. J. W. Fralick and Mr. Meredith Watts, I’nited States Postal Commissioners to South America, ar rived in Philadelphia on Saturday, after an absence of several months. The gen tlemen visited the countries on both the east and west coasts of South America. Their object, besides looking after postal matters, was also to make arrangements for the introduction of American manu factures into South America. A report of their operations will be made to the President of the United States in the course of a few days. Mr. Fralick is of the opinion that a large trade will soon be developed between this country and South America. Strange Recovery of Lost Senses. Cleveland (Ohio! Herald. The case of Miss Mary Hayes, who awoke one morning fome five weeks ago to find herself blind, has interested many on account of the suddenness and severity of the affliction that had over taken her. A few days since she was able to see, though imperfectly, and she went to walk with a friend, her blind ness returning to her before her return. Since that she has had times of seeing, followed again by periods of total dark ness, until yesterday morning, when her eyes recovered * their faculty, and she was able to go upon the street and to attend Sunday school in the after noon. She wore dark colored glasses as a protection against the sunlight, and com plained that objects appeared somewhat blurred; but these difficulties were slight, and she was encouraged to hope that her recovery was to prove complete. During her illness she has been kindly attended by Dr. I). B. Smith, whose special studies of diseases of the eye led to his being called at the time when her sudden blind ness was a complete mystery to her friends, and from him the following par ticulars as to her illness are learned; Four days after ber loss of eyesight 6he began to lose her bearing, and this increased until she could not bear the watch with the right ear and at only a few inches with the left ear. The hearing returned in two weeks, but not until this week has she distinguished light from dark ness. On Monday last she saw colors. Red was first recognized. Soon, how ever, large letters, and finally small let ters were seen, so that to-day she sees fine type and all objects in the room. She does not always see equally distinctly, but is improving rapidly. Physicians consider it due to a sudden determination of blood to the head, causing congestion of those parts which are in the imme diate neighborhood of the origin of the nerves of sight and hearing. Her com plete recovery is now regarded as certain. By Cable to the Morning Severn. London, August —A Constantinople dispatch of July 31st to Reuter's says “There is no foundation for the report that Ssvfet Pasha is to be superceded as Grand Vizier on the 1st of August.’’ The Minister* were deliberating several hour* to-day on the Bosnian question. The Porte has not vet protested against the oc cupation, and negotiations are still proceed ing. A Constantinople dispatch dated July 31 to the Time* says the Russians are endeavoring to charter steam transports for the conveyance of one hundred thou sand men to Odessa in about a month hence, but this operation will depend upon the evacuation of Varna. The Russian Im perial Guards have been ordered to be sent home as soon as possible. The Russian Ambassador at Constantinople urges the Porte to accelerate the evacuation of Varna, but the date of the event is still uncertain. In the House of Commons this evening the debate on Lord Hartington's resolution was resumed. Lord Elcho,Conservative mem ber for Haddingtonshire, violently attacked the opposition, attributing the Russo- Turkish war to their conduct. W. E. Foster, Liberal member for Bradford, followed. He attributed the war to the government's iso lating itself from the other powers. Like all the other opposition speaker*, he based his principle of attack on the Angio-Turkish convention, which he declared was uncon stitutional in the manner of its adoption. Mr. O’Donnell, Home Rule member for Dungarvon, supported the government, de claring the opposition had not a rag of for eign policy. The debate continued at great length by a number of minor members, who repeated the stock arguments strictly in accordance with their known politics. At one time as many as thirty opposition members rose to their feet simultaneously. Roebuck, the member for Sheffield, said the conduct of the Liberals throughout the crisis had been such that he did not think either himself or Gladstone would see them in power again. Hartington’s resolution was rejected in the House of Commons to-night by a vote of 33S to 195, and Plunkett's amendment was adopted without a division. Vibsba, August 2.—A special to the Jb- litical OurretpowleHCt from Berlin reports that the ratifications of the treaty of Berlin have arrived from all the powers except Turkey. The exchange of the ratification will take place on Saturday, as the Congress arranged, notwithstanding the Porte's delay.

So far the experiments have been perfectly sat isfactory- The territory which Turkey loses by the treaty of Berlin is roughly estimated by the London Daily Neat at seventy-one thousand five hundred square miles, or about thirteen thousand square miles more than the whole area of England and Wales. The loss in population amounts to more than three and a half lions, or somewhat more than the en tire population of London.

How to Get a Cinder Out of the Eye. The following prescription for remov ing a cinder from the eye will be found especially useful in the traveling season: "Having caught a cinder in the eye, it is possible that, by remaining quiet awhile, it may be dissolved by the tears and vanish; or we may promote the flow of tears by attempting to open the eye now and then, and cause the cinder to be carried off by them. We may also help the flow of tears by seizing the edge of the upper lid, drawing it away from the eve ball, and at the same time blow ing the nose smartly, or we may pull the upper lid down over the edge of the lower, and. thrusting the latter up beneath it, make the lower eye lashes ao service as a tnoom in brushing away the offending sulwtance. If these expedients fail we have a sure one in turning over the upper lid and wiping off the cin der. This is easily (Tone by a trav eling companion. Take a pencil case for a fulcrum: place it parallel with the edge of the upper lid about half an inch above it; then, with the thumb and forefinger of the other hand seize the upper lid firmly by its eyelashes and free edge, and direct the person to look down. and. the moment the eyeball rolls downward, turn the lid quickly up over the pencil. Do not wipe the deli catc surface of the everted lid with the handkerchief more than is necessary. First find the situation of the offending substance—which possibly may be so small as to be almost invisible; then re move it with the finger or point of the pencil, or with the handkerchief turned over the end of the finger. The cinder will generally lie found at about the mid dle of the upper lid, not far back from the edge. "In case the foreign body sticks on the ball of the eye in front of the pupil, it may be wiped off with a bit of paper twisted to a point, or possibly by a bit of soft pine wood (say the free end of a common friction match). If, however, It does not come off easily, surgical aid must be sought, as great harm may be done the transparent point of the eye by the use of sharp instruments in inexperi enced hands.” A Remedy for the Effects of Poi son Ivy.—Dr. S. A. Brown, United States Navy, states in the Medical Record that he has found a specific for the trouble some eruption produced by the poison oak or poison ivy (Rhus toxicodendron) so common in our woods and so often mis taken for the Virginia creeper, which the plant somewhat resembles. This specific he finds in bromine, which he has used with unvarying success in at least forty cases. He uses the drug dissolved in olive oil, cosmoline, or glycerine, in the strength of from ten to twenty drops of bromine to the ounce of oil. and rubs the mixture gently on the affected part three or four times a day. The bromine is so volatile that the solution should be renewed within twenty-four hours from its preparation. The eruption never ex tends after the first thorough application, and it promptly disappears within twen ty-four hours, 'if the application is per sisted in, and the patient is entirely cured.—Mining Record. An Englishman was riding on a Con tinental railway, when a sudden halt and loud report informed the passengers that some accident had happened. Every one else rushed out, of course, to see what was the matter, but he sat tran quilly, as if not at all interested in any tiling beyond his own thoughts. Pres ently a person came up and informed him that the engine had burst its boiler. "Awe.'" Then came another, saying that there were fifteen persons killedl The Englishman still sat unmoved, and grunted out another "awe!” But, finally, a third messenger ran up in great haste, and said, "My dear air, your valet has been blown into a hundred pieces!" "Awe!" was the response; "fust bring THE GAINESVILLE CONVENTION —SECOND DAY. Joel A. Billups, of Morgan, Nomina ted by Acclamation. Special Telegram to the Morning Metes. Gainesville, G a., August 2.—The conven tion met at eight o’clock and fi ve ballots were taken. On the last Bell received forty and Carlton twenty-six votes. A committee of six Carlton men and six Bell men then consulted, while the conven tion took a recess of one hour. This com mittee reported to withdraw the names of Carlton and Bell and nominate Joel A. Bil lups, of Morgan. The report was adopted by a vote of sixty to six. Billups was then nominated by acclamation. Resolutions approving the course of Bell in agreeing to abide by the decision of the convention were unanimously adopted. Mr. Allen D. Candler, of Hall, Chairman of the District Committee, addressed a large meeting at the court house this after noon. and bis speaking excited much en- ] thusiasm. The Democracy are delighted with the nomination, while some of the In dependents are disappointed, as they hoped the convention would break up in a row. S. Cb S. ZFL- R.
