TAPPING THE WIKU.
The joint rule for counting the electoral
vote, Introduced by Senator Morgan, has
been passed by the Senate. The gist of the
rule Is that If there be but one list of rotes
of a State, and that is objected to, It shall
be counted, unless both houses concur In
rejecting it; but if sereral such lists are pre
sented which would be evidence of Irregu
larity In the State none of them shall be
counted unless the two houses concur In
accepting some one of them.

Couoting the Electoral Vote.
The measure now before the United
States Senate providing for a joint rule
for counting the electoral vote in 1881,
is one of vital interest to the country at
this time. It will be remembered that
in the Presidential election of 1876-77,
the Republicans, under the lead of Oli
ver P. Morton, in the Senate claimed
that the twenty-second joint rule—which
had been previously adopted and acted
upon for years, and by which the Repub
licans were perfectly willing to abide so
long as both houses of Congress were Re
publican—was no longer available, and
made the bold claim that it was the pro
vince of the President of the Senate alone
to open the votes and delcare the result.
The animus which prompted this demand
was very apparent. It had alteady been
arranged that the returning boards of
Louisiana, Florida and South Carolina
should make false counts if the
result went against the Radicals, and
it was also as clearly understood
that Mr. Ferry, the President pro tem. of
the Senate, was to accept and declare,
as official, only such returns as those
returning boards presented. Hence, to
prevent the House from being able to
object, and prevent Buch fraudulent re
turns from being counted at all—and
thus defeating the Radical plot to count
in Hayes -as would have been the case
bad the twenty-second joint rule been
recognized, Mr. Morton took his
most audacious position. It will
be remembered also that at
that time Ulysses S. Grant then serv
ing his second term as President of the
United States—determined that the Radi
cal party should secure its candidate by
either fair means or foul, if he could as
sist to that end—sustained Morton and
his fellow Radical Senators in their de
mands, and declared it his opinion that
Ferry alone was authorized to determine
and announce the vote.
The nomination of Grant for a third
term by the Republicans at Chicago may
now be considered an assured fact, and
it is very evident that he himself and bis
Radical friends will insist upon Mr.
Wheeler deciding in 1881 which are and
which are not the true returns, if there
is any doubt as to the manner in which
the vote is then to be counted by the two
houses of Congress as prescribed by
the Constitution. This claim, if al
lowed to be made, will certainly
lead to serious trouble. Grant will
not permit himself to be defeated if
he can help himself, not only because his
heart is set upon the gratification of his
inordinate ambition, but because, after
the tremendous furore which his bench
men and clacquers have created for him
on his tour around the world, such a re
sult would be a terrible humiliation to
him. If the slightest opportunity is af
forded to do so successfully, his friends
and the leaders of his boom will most
certainly endeavor to have as many
fraudulent returns as possible made out
so that Mr. Wheeler may have it in his
individual power to decide who is enti
tied to occupy the White Hqjise for the
succeeding four years.
Under al! these circumstances it is now
more than ever incumbent upon Con
gress to settle this matter so that there can
be no possible dispute about it when the
time for counting the next electoral vote
shall arrive. It is a subject which vitally
concerns the whole country, and
it would be a great wrong in
dieted upon the people if power should
be given the Radicals to again count in a
fraudulently elected chief executive.
The resolul^p of Senator Morgan, of
Alabama, now before Congress, to regu
late this matter, is a measure which is
fair to both parties, and is such as is de
manded by the country. It is sincerely
to be hoped, therefore, that Congress will
refuse to adjourn before the question is
finally decided.
Since the above was in type we see it
announced in our dispatches from Wash
ington that Senator Morgan's Joint reso
lution passed the Senate yesterday. It
will doubtless now speedily pass the
House, and become the rule under which
the count of the electoral vote by Con
gress next winter will be conducted.
Health In Summer.
The Baltimore Gazette calls attention
to the fact that now that summer is real
ly here residents of crowded cities and
towns cannot be too careful as to their
diet and personal habits. The danger
from sunstroke or exhaustion is not very
great for people in ordinary health, but
any physician w.ll endorse the state
ment tfi»t too great care cannot be ex
ercised to ward off those diseases which
inevitably follow imprudence during
the heated term. Too many people
observe the same rules of living in
the dog days that they do in the brac
ing atmosphere of fall or winter, andj
as a rule, they pay dearly for their im
prudence. Even in the matter of cloth
ing but little care is taken to provide
against sudden changes of temperature
or during periods of intense heat to
reduce the temperature of the body
Many persons also expose themselves to
the sun in the most reckless manner
while others are equally imprudent as
to the kind and quality of their food
The latter is a most important con
sideration. The simpler and more
nourishing the food the better
yet how few restrict themselves
or show the least discrimination iu select
ing the sup lies for their tables during
the summer months. Frequent bathing,
moderate exercise, abstention as far as
possible from all excitement, rigid super
vision of drainage, cleanliness not only
in the living rooms of the house, but io
all the obscure places about the premises
—these are safeguards which no person,
however robust his health, can afford to
disregard. The list of ills that follow
the neglect of these ordinary precautions
is very long, and all are serious in their
effect upon the human frame.
Ravings of a Reverend Blatherskite.
At the late convention of the Second
Congressional district in Florida, which
nominated Bisbee, Dr. Hicks said:
'• I do not believe that there is a Re
publican who is not willing to die for
his principles. When these principles
are interwoven in his nature, all the
threats of damnation will not deter him
from his duty. One man with God Al
mighty ou his side is in the majority.
“ The Democrats propose to station
the polls on one side, death on the other,
and hell between.
‘‘Wbat is the attitude of the Demo
crats to the enfranchised race? God
sent Moses to liberate the Jews. Pharaoh
was a fossil old Democrat, and he could
not see bow he could let God’s people go.
If he had lived in Florida he would have
done as a Florida slaveholder, whose
slaves could not work, because he only
gave them a herring apiece. Well, said
he, give them a herring and a half, and
let them bust.
“At last Pharaoh let them go, but re
pented and started after them. So the
Democrats regretted that they had let
the slaves go, and started after them,
aud by every art, by all means, lawful
and unlawful,they have persisted in their
attempt to regain lhi»e rights which they
bad only let go after four years of blood
and war.”
This blasphemous renegade, re i,arks
the Macon Telegraph, who has boxed the
religious and political compass, thus re
news the calumnious statement that the
Democrats, if successful, would reduce
the blacks to slavery again. But the
falsehood has grown so threadbare that
not even one negro in a thousand can be
made to believe it. It is upon such
fraudulent issues that the Radicals of
Florida intend to make the Presidential
light.
The Kellogg Case.—A Washington
special says: ‘ ‘It is givon out as probable
that in a day or two Governor Hampton
will submit a motion for the indefinite
postponement of the Kellogg case, and
that General Gordon will make a grand
farewell speech of conciliation and
peace. The following Democrats are
pnt down as likely to rote for the indefi
nite postponement: Hampton, Gordon,
Lamar, Butler, Whyte, Groorac, Ran
dolph, Ransom, Jones of Florida, Bay
ard, Thurman, Walker, Harris, Pendle
ton, and also Judge Davis, of Illinois.
It must not be understood, however, that
any of these Senators have authorized
any statement to be made as to their in
tention. ”
One of the daughters of Brigham
Young, who was lately expelled from
the Mormon Church for suing some of
the rascally brethren who attempted to
rob her, when entreated to return to the
fold, replied: “My father, prophet
though you call him, broke many a
woman’s heart. If it was required of
me to break as many hearts and ruin as
many women as my father did, I should
go to perdition before I would go back
into the chureb. A religion which
breaks women's hearts and ruins them
is of the devii. That’s what Mormonism
does. Don’t talk to me of my father’”
The Grant men in Alabama were de
termined that their wishes should not be
thwarted at Chicago. So they first of all
elected pronounced Grant men as dele
gates, and then bound each man to take
a pledge to support Grant. Not satisfied
with this the}' then authorized a majority
of the delegates to appoint other dele
gates in place of those who should re
fuse to take the pledge. With these vari
ous safeguards, it may be assumed that
the delegation will be solid for • ‘the old
man.”
Senator Bayard’s bill for the appoint
ment of special deputy marshals receives
the endorsement of the New York Timet
as a “measure which ought to form the
basis of an amicable adjustment of this
question.” After this frank and manly
declaration from the leading Republican
journal it is to be hoped that the stal
wart Senators will cease their factious
opposition to its passage.
Hon. A. H. Stephens is of the opinion
that Congress will Dot adjourn until
pome time in July.
For sereral days past the air has been
thick with all sorts of reports, rumors
aud surmises in reference to the resigna
tion of Senator Gordon and the appoint
ment of ex-Governor Brown as h>s suc
cessor. An occurrence so unexpected
and out of the line of ordinary proba
bilities, very naturally gave cause for
much excitement and speculative gossip,
and it is not to be wondered at that
politicians all over the State hastened to
make the most of it. But It Is
much to be regretted that in their ex-
treme anxiety to turn it to special
political account they allowed their zeal
to run ahead of their circumspection,
and not only to condemn without a hear
ing, but to attribute base and corrupt
motives to men whom the people of
Georgia have almost unanimously
honored with the highest offices in their
gift, and whose public and private char
acters have ever been above reproach.
It has been freely charged, among
other heinous things, that the Senatorial
change is the result of a corrupt liargain
between the parties involved in the popu
lar condemnation. This charge is indig
nantly denied and disproved, as will be
seen by the article which we present in
another column from the Atlanta Consti
tution of Sunday.
The Famine in Asia.
The famine in the northern parts of
Asia Minor is rapidly spreading, aod
fears are entertained that it has not yet
reached its climax. The parts which are
suffering mo3t are those which were in
vaded by the Russians during the last
Russo-Turkish war,whose terror stricken
inhabitants had to abandon their homes
and fly away. On their return they
found only ruined houses and unsown
fields. In addition to these misfortunes
the two last winters have been unusually
long and severe, so that for several
months the roads had been blocked up
with suow and tbc inhabitants of the
outlying villages were unable to provide
themselves with supplies. Many have
consequently already perished, and many
are now on the brink of starvation. An
American missionary writing from Persia
says that grain is selling at eleven times
the ordinary rates, and that paople are
living largely on scanty roots. Consid
erable sums were collected and dis
patched by the American missionaries in
Turkey and Persia to the famine dis
tricts; but the indifference with which
the Turkish Government is acting io the
matter shows how little the Sultan cares
even for the welfare of his Mohammedan
subjects,
It
Butler aqd Bruce is now the ticket
that is being suggested by the Green-
backers, notwithstanding the fact that
Brace is not a Green backer, but still
hangs ou to the Republican party. It is
thought, however, that a ticket of the
kind would command a good deal of
support from the negroes, particularly in
Mississippi, where they constitute the
bulk of tlie Greenback party; indeed, a
large number of the Mississippi delega
tion to the Greenback National Conven
tion at Chicago will be Degrees. If the
colored delegates to Chicago are wise
they will drop Blaine aud Butler and go
for Grant, on condition that Bruce is
allowed the second place ou the ticket.
Grant is sure of the nomination, but
stands no possible chance of being elected
without the negro vote. If the Radicals
are sincere in their professions of negro
political and social equality now is the
time to prove it, and if the negroes have
any doubts of their sincerity now is the
time to test it. -
The Virtues of Mullein.
The Boise City Repubtiean says mul
lein smoked in a pipe will always relieve
catarrh, an# patiently continued will
effect a permanent cure. It also has the
following, which may be worth some,
thing to the afflicted:
“I have discovered a remedy for con
sumption. It has cured a number of
cases after they had begun bleeding at
the lungs, and the hectic flush was
already on the cheek. After trying this
remedy to my own satisfaction, 1 have
thought philanthropy required that
should let it be known to the world,

ened with sugar and drank freely. Y’oung
or old plants are good, dried in the shade
and kept in clean bags. The medicine
must be continued from three to six
months according to the nature of the
disease. It is good for the blooq vessels
a'so. It strengthens and builds up the
system. It makes good blood, and takes
away inflammation from the lungs. It
is the wish of the writer that every pub
lication in the United States. Canada and
Europe should publish this receipt for
the benefit of the human family.” g
Iu Russia, a few years ago, a mullein
plant was received, aud it was considered
a great curiosity. They called it the
“American velvet plant.”
The Society of the Cincinnati.
Editor Morning Netty. Failing in my
investigations to get any information
for “One of Your Oldest Subscribers ' in
Darien, as to the. establishment of
branch society of tlie “Cincinnati’ in
Savannah, by General Washington, dur
ing his visit here in 1790, snd who were
the members of it, I enclosed your cor
respondsat # 1st lar to tbs Hr,it H.miltcn
Fish, of New York, President of the
“Cincinnati," with the request that he
would furnish me with the desired infor
mation if he could give it, or refer me
to a source whence I might obtain it.
Yesterday I received the enclosed reply
from Mr. Fish, which speaks for itself.
The inquiries instituted by your cor
respondent in Darien are of interest,
generally, as points of State hist- try, and
individually, to the descendants of the
Revolutionary soldiers, who won for us
our independence. We should, there
fore, look them up, aud preserve them
indelibly, in print, for posterity. For as
time shall urge the people of this city
farther and farther from the period o’
these historical events, they become more
and more indistinct, and will fade from
view entirely, unless saved from destrac.
tion, seasonably, by the perpetuity of the
press. Very truly yours,
Henry C. Watsk.

Mv Dear Ueskrau— 1 fear that the records
and early history of the (leorgia btate Soviet v of
the Cincinnati are not to be recovered. I mkd<-
dilurenl search and enquiry for them for sev
eral years, and in every direction that sug
gested itself. Judge Berrien told me fabout
ISM .ii that he had made search and eoquiry
with the same object, but in vain. 1 spoke
with your excellent and esteemed father, but
no trace could be found.
The records aud oorreepondenoe of the Gen
eral Society, and tbc archives of some of the
State societies, girt- some occasional letters
from the Georgia Society, and a list of some of
the officers elected. I am not aware of any
source other than these whereby to learn the
names of the original members Of course
the names thus Riven cannot be taken to be all
of the original members I have several
memoranda respecting the Georgia Society in
New York, not wiLhin reach for mis letter.
It may. however, be safely asserted that the
Georgia Society was organize,! prior to Wash
ington's visit to your city <!7TA)|. Doubtless it
was organised as the other Btate societies,
shortly after the dissolution of the army in
17S3. i feel quite confident tspeaking from
memory - that it waa repres, nted in the gen-
era! meeting in 1781. possibly in that of 17S7.
If desired. 1 will, with pleasure, when 1 go to

relating to me Georgia Society.
1 am, my dear General, very faithfully
yours, Hamilton Fish.
G'en. Henry C. Wayne, Savannah, (la.
Washington diqiatubes announced that
Senator Don Cam ron would leave
there for Chicago ou Saturday,
and that he would be followed
by Senators Conkling and Hoar
and others in a few days. Thus several
days in advance of the meeting of the
convention, Grant's managers and wire
pullers will be on the ground at work.
It is also understood that Jim Blaine,
remembering how he was out generaled
at Cincinnati, owing to the inefficiency
of his managers, is determined to go to
Chicago, and, in person, press his claims
to the nomination. He will thus not
only expose himself to the danger of sun
stroke, but will be the first Presidential
candidate to set the example of person
ally soliciting the nomination.
Civil Service Reform.—President
Hayes’ civil service order, issued in 1877,
directed that government officers should
not ran the party machines, and that this
order Bhould apply to those in ths high
est official positions. But the Hepubii
can office-holders do not pay much re
gard to this Presidential order, nor does
the President himself see that it is car
ried into effect. Mr. G. B. Raum is the
Internal Revenue Commissioner at
Washington, with a salary of $<1,000 a
year. He was appointed to preside over
the Illinois Republican Convention on
Wednesday, and he there laid down the
rules by which the political machine waa
to be run. The civil service reform of
the Republican parly has been sunk into
the sand. In short, it has been trampled
under foot by that party.
Jim Blaine's unsavory record makes
the report of his implication in the al
leged purchase of ihe Texas-Pacific land
grant to Congress, credible. It is possi
ble. however, that the report is only de
signed to influence the Chicago Conven
tion. It emanates from a Republican
official, and made its first apjiearance
in a Grant organ. If the contest over
the Republican Presidential nomination
could be continued another mouth, it
would be easy to show, by Republican
evidence, that every one of that party’s
candidates is a corruptionist or worse.
Enemies of all Governmeats and all
Religions,
Sew York Journal oj Commerce,
The impression is gaining ground in
Europe that the Internationalists are fo
menting strikes which are to take place
ou a large scale during the summer.
Recent so-called labor disturbances in
jEugland, Germany. Belgium and tSwitz
erltind are thought to be only skirmishes
with the advanced guard of the Socialist
army. This opinion may be erroneous,
born out of prevalent fears. But there
is some probability iu the theory that the
Internationalists, Communists, Nihilists,
Anarchists—whatever they call them
selves or are called in different
countries—would seize upon the flue
summer weather as the best time, and
trade unionism as the most convenient]
instrument for working out their despel
rate designs. Whether they intend it or]
not, the trade-unionists are the natural
allies of the destructive forces in our
[civilization known by the various naincsl
we have given tbem. Therefore, when
it is reported that the Internationalists are
arranging for a general European strike
we realize that they arc going to work
upon a plan which threatens the results
most injurious to peace, law and order,
and for that reason is most oongenit 1 to
the irreconcilable enemies of all estab
lished institutions.
The Catholic Archbishop of Quebec
does not exaggerate the situation when
be sees in the ship laborers' strike of
that city manifestations of a spirit which,
unrestrained, would bury Church, State
and ail in a common rain. True, it is
only a strike of ship laliorers, but it is
conducted on the intolerant ami tyran
nical principles of Communism. The
strikers assault all workmen who refuse
to join their uni >n ana who are anxious!
to earn Ihe best wages they can get
without regard to the rates
fixed by a society to which they
do not belong and whose doctrines
they abhor. The Archbishop recog
nizes in this violation of natural right
and justice one of the deadliest blows to
society, a complete disregard of laws,
human ordivine He therefore performs
without fear or hesitation the pastoral
duty intrusted to him. He solemnly
warns his flock against such grave of
fenses. He gives point to his warning
by threatening excommunication against
every Catholic of his diocese who in tba
present year shall be concerned in at
tacking “any person belonging to a labor
society or not, or any member of his
family, because such person works, has
worked or Is willing to work, at a price
which be thinks fit,”
Of course Protestants will smile supe
rior at such a fulmiuation, and think it
out of time in this century anti out of
place on this continent. The good Arch
bishop of Quebec does Dot ask or expect
their agreement with him ecclesiastically.
But he or any other minister of religion,
by whatever name known, who does his
simple duty as he understands it in such
a crisis, renders a service to the cause of
peace and human happiness worthy of
great praise. It would be well for the
world if other sects and denominations
besides the Catholics would use their in
fluence and their dncipline a hen required
in contending with the insidious foes of
all religions snd all governments instead
( of leaving them wholly to the secular
arm.
THE RUMOR OF A TRADE.
How It U Net In the City— What Gov
ernor Brown and Governor Col
quitt Str Ahont It.
' Attdhta Constitution.
There has been published in some
newspaper* the details of a rumor, that
there has been a trade or bargain, by
which the cjtange in the Senatorship was
made. The directest way of meeting
this sort ot thing, is to let the parties in
terested speak for themselves. It will
be seen from the following that they
speak with no uncertain sound:
WHAT GOVERNOR COLqCITT SAYS.
I called at the Executive office to see
Governor Colquitt, and asked him if be
would not give tc the public through the
columns of the Constitution an answer
to questions bearing on the recent ap
pointment. He replied that be wcu’d
do so with pleasure
1 ‘ You have beard the rumor, then, that
there was some sort of a bargain or un
derstanding between yourself and Gov
ernor Brown or General Gordon in regard
to their resignation and appointment.
What have you to say aiiout this?”
“I have to say that it is utterly, wan
tonly false,” the Governor replied, with
great feeling, “aDd that no one but a liar
or a thief would make such a state
ment!”
“There was, then, no sort of under
standing?”
“None—nor the hint of one—none di
rectly or indirectly. I have had know
ledge of General Gordon's desire to re
sign for several months. It gave me
great concern to see him leave the Sen
ate, and I resisted it until I saw that he
was determined upon his course. 1 then
began to look about for a successor iu
case be sent tus resignation. 1 soon ar
rived at the conclusion that the fittest
appointment was Governor Brown, and
at once sent for him. When he came I
stated the case and tendered him General
Gordon's place. He declined it at first,
but 1 urged him to accept, and he finally
said that he would think it over. There
was natt the slightest hint of any condi
tion, or trade, or bargain, or understand
ing. He begged me to urge General
Gordon to reconsider, saying that be
thought General Gordon s retiring would
be a loss to the State. I promised to do
this, and did do it, and he left express
ing the hope that General Gordon would
recousidcr. ”
“You did uot know, then, that he
would accept when you telegraphed
him ?”
I did not. I was both surprised and
gratified at his prompt acceptance."
“You have not represented Gen. Gor
don in any proposition or tender to Gov
Brown 7”
None whatever. I do not know to
this moment what General Gordon
going to do—what ;>osition he is going
to accept, or what has been offered him,
or what he wants. I only know that ‘
tried to the very last to pursuade him to
retnaiu in the Senate, and when that
failed appointed the man in my opinion
who was best able to fill his seat. I do
not blame any man for expressing his
opinion on this appointment—but 1 have
nothing but loathing and contempt for
the man who hints of corrupt or ques
tionable methods in getting at it”
“How do you account, Governor, for
the fact that Governor Brown's appoint
ment was predicted as soon as General
Gordon’s resignation was predicted?”
“Simply from the fact that Gcucral
Gordon’s resignation had been unde
consideration some time, and I had con
suited with friends as to his successor.and
had said tu some of them that if he re
signed I should appoint Governor Bn >wn
That is,I presume,the explanation. Thcs
friends must have mentioned what they
had heard me say as to my choice."
WIIAT GOVERNOR GROWN SAYS.

The Situation.
Elherton tJazette.
A calm view of the political situation
in Georgia at the present time may not
be inopportune, and if acted upon in the
proper spirit may be productive of good
results. As regards the Gubernatorial
contest, and this is the matter we pro
pose to discuss, the situation, briefly
stated, is this: North Georgia presents
a candidate for the position, for whom,
we are told, the people of that section
of the Btate are almost a unit, with
sprinkling in other portions of the
State in sympathy with them. Exactly
the same language will apply to Mid
dle and Southern Georgia: each prrl
seating its peculiar choice for a par
ticular candidate. To effect a
compromise between these unfortunate
geographical divisions will be u task of
the greatest delicacy and will require the
most patriotic statesmanship. We use
the term patriotic statesmanship in its
truest sense. This work cannot be ac
complisbed by pot-boute or street poll
ticians, by ambitious aspirants, by blus
ter, or by tho-e committed to tbc support
of any particular individual; only those
who have in view as their primary object
the best interests of the State—the great
est good to the greatest number—are
worthy to have this important trust com
mitted to them.
A compromise between these different
elemeuts we believe to be absolutely es
sential to the well being, if not the ex
istence of the Democratic party in Geor
gia. It is notorious tbat we have, all
over the State, a disturbing element in
politics who are classed as Independents,
and with whom the enemies of law aud
order and honest civil government—the
Republican party—are ready to combine
for the overthrow of that party, which
has been the South's bulwark of safety
since the war.
This is the true status of our political
affairs, aud it is only necessary to appeal
to our citizens to commit themselves to
no fixed policy or particular candidate in
such way as to prevent a conscientious
change if that course be found necessary
or expedient The aspirations of indi
viduals are of secondary imjiortance and
muat he made subaervient to the inter
ests of good government.
This much we have said in the interest
of no individual or faction, but from a
plain sense of duty.
Dr. L Guy Lewis, of Fulton, Ark.,writes:
One year sgo I was taken sick, a friend
argued so strongly In favor of Tutt’a Pills
that f was induced to use them. Never did
medicine have a happier effect than In my
case. After a practice of a quarter of a
century 1 proclaim them the beat anti-
bilious medicine ever used. 1 bare pre
scribed them in mv practice ever alnce.”
my35-Tu,Tb,8,wJSTellt
said
“The statement that there has been
uny trade or bargain or condition in this
mutter is an infamous faisehiftd, and you
are authorized anti requested to say this
forme!"
“Will you give me the history of your
appointment?”
"I will. The first hint that I ever had
of General Gordon's intended resigna
tion, was in a conversation with Cover
nor Colquitt He said to me that the
resignation was probable, and asked me
if I would accept the place if General
Gordon insisted on resigning. I stated
tbat 1 would not, and I at once urged
the Governor to write General Oordon
and urge him to remain in his seat. The
Governor promised to do this, and then
urged me, in ease he failed, to accept
the place. I still declined, but left the
matter open at his request After con
aultjng with some friends I decided to
accept, iu case General Gordou resigned.
There was no suggestion or hint of any
bargain or understanding or condition
then or at any other time. I was simply
urged to take the place, and finally
agreed. There never has been the slight
est bint of a condition."
Did you have any correspondence
with General Gordon?”
“I have not exchanged a word or
thought with him by mail, or telegraph,
or otherwise, iu mouths, aud Dever any
thing that bore in the slightest degree on
this matter. Nor has any friend passed
one word between us in any way.”
Has there been the slightest sugges
tion tbat you should give up your place
to General Gordon ?” ■
*'Never at any time. On the contrary,
the only suggestions 1 have had are ur'g
ent requests from my stockholders that
I should remain in charge of the road. I
have letters or telegrams from every
shareholder iu tlie Jea«e. except the hold
ers of ODe and three-quarter shares, urg
ing me to stick to the Presidency of the
road, and this I shall do. 1 shall remain
in control ju,t as usual, and shall pursue
exactly the same policy that has cbarac
terijed my management all the time.
There has been uo attempt to change
this, and no wish to do so. As to my
denial that there lias been any sort of
trade, or suggestion of a trade, or ex
change of places, or change of policy,
you cannot express that as strongly as I
should wish to have it expressed. ’ The
facts are just as 1 have given them' ”
The new railway to the crater of Yesu
vius is 800 metres long, and terminates
200 metres short of the mouth of the cra
ter. The incllues are tremendous: Four
in ten for tbe first 186 metres; fl:! in 100
for the next 3J0 metres; then 56, 52, and
finally 48 in the 100 for the remainder.
Tbe carriages are drawn up by a steel
rope of 49 strands, which is coated with
tar as a protection against rust. The
ascent on the railway is made in seven
minutes, but it can easily be made in
five. The motion is quite smooth, but
tbe sensation on looking out is far from
pleasant, and a feeling akin to sea sick
ness is said to arise. Great pillara of
smoke frequently burst up from the
ground, close to tbe spot where the rail
road ends, and great chasms open, swal
lowing up anything which may be on the
spot, so that the expedition may tomc-
tlracs not be wholly free from danger.
It was intended to open the line for the
public at the beginning of May.
Buckley is a Texas horse thief and
murderer, for whom the law officers
searched long aud fruitlessly. A man
called on ihe Governor, introduced him
self as a friend of the outlaw, aud said
that he was prepared to buy bis pardon
by giviDg information against other
criminals. The Governor was inclined
to make such u bargain, anti sent him to
the Attorney General, who recognized
him as none other than Buckley himself.
The rascal drew a long kuife out of his
bootleg, but was overpowered and lock
ed up.
The “Trie Born.”—"Age never
brings wisdom to the true born ass, but
it may tone down his exuberance and
cover" with a thin veneer of common
sense his more preposterous ways. To
see human assisliness in its most perfect
form we must observe it in the young.
The young jackase is nowadays a very
commonly encountered specimen of this
Lot
kind."

Fallinjr of the Hair.
A year and a half ago last July, my hair
began to fall off. leaving on the back of my
h-ad a ntx&II Itare spot, which gradually en
larged until It measured two or three inches.
Another bare spot appeared on the top of my
|heoJ. My hair became so dry and lifeless that
I could pull out large quantities without feel
ing it After failing to receive any benefit
from other remedic*, I began the use of the
Octut ra Remedied. Citictra and CTtutra
So a p extern «Uy, and the Resolvext iatemallv.
