The managers of the Louisville Expo

The House has discovered that public

that many members have adopted, of
abandoning their post of duty on Friday
and leaving the Legislature without a

more. This will bring the chronic absen

It may not be generally understood that
the new postal notes, which will be at the

offices where money orders cannot be ob

remittances exist.
A colored physician, a day or two ago,
made complaint in the Police Court in
Washington. D. C., that he was refused a
meal in one of the restaurants ot that
city. If he should bring a civil suit he
would not get damages. The defendant
could easily find a score of witnesses who
would swear that no one is damaged by
being refused a meal in the average
Washington restaurant. The man who
gets and pays for the meal is the one to
claim damages.
The subject of a school of technology in
Georgia is being pretty well discussed by
the press of the State, and as far as we
can judge the jieople seem about con

greatest obstacle to be overcome, per
haps. is the periodic tit, or paroxysm of
economy, which comes over the Legisla
ture, closing the Treasury against one of
the wisest measures at one time and throw
ing it wide open to extravagance and
folly at another.
We had thought Judge Jere Black a

recent American history he sinks to
pitiable weakness under the scathing

Whoever boasts of his patriotic action in
the late civil war, and undertakes to re

Imldest spirit of the war.
Attorney General Brewster has render
ed an elaborate opinion on the question,
whether the General Government is liable
for interest on money advanced by States
for the enrollment, subsistence and cloth
ing of troops during the civil war. It
seems that quite a number of States have
claims of this kind pending in the
Treasury, the total amount of which is
many hundreds of thousands of dollars.
The Attorney General holds that the gov
ernment is not liable. The only way that
claims can be collected, therefore, is by a
special act of Congress making an appro
priation for them.
The summer resorts of the North are
said to be not crowded this year, owing,
perhaps, to the business anxiety and de
pression which is said to be felt much
more seriously in the North than in the
South. Many of the most fashionable
resorts are reported to have not more than
half the guests they can accommodate,
while the travel to Europe, with all the
splendid facilities ottered, has been a
great falling off. The many and great
business failures of the country, the great
destruction of property by fire and flood,
the reported failures of the crops in many
sections, the numerous strikes and gene
ral discontent among laborers, the defal
cations and embezzlements by officials,
and numerous other like evils prevailing
in the country, have puzzled capital and
brought it to a temporary stand. This is
the point where the “sober second
thought” usually comes in, but we have
no business compass to go by in these
piping times, and no horoscope with
with which to forecast the probable
vixange of fortune.
The National Educational Assembly.
The second annual meeting of the Na
tional Educational Assembly began at
Ocean Grove, New Jersey, last Friday.
Several interesting papers on educational
topics were read. The paper which at
tracted the greatest attention, perhaps,
was that of Hon. J. P. Wickersham, of
Pennsylvania. The following is an ex
tract from it:
“Personally I am opposed to any inter
meddling on the part of the General Gov
ernment with the practical work of popu
lar education. A National Bureau of Ed
ucation organized like ours at Washing
ton is an admirable instrumentality for
disseminating information concerning
education, but any enlargement of its
powers that would tend to remove the
management of the schools from the'
hands of the people would be, in myopin
ion, a fatal mistake. Holding these sen
timents I am still warmly in favor of aid
ing in a judicious way by appropriations
from the National Treasury the struggling
school systems of the South.
“As a Northern man—a Pennsylvanian
—I am not particularly anxious for aid to
our schools from the General Govern
ment. As a fixed policy I can see many
objections to it. Here at the North we
can maintain oyr own schools, and I am
not at all sure it is not best for us to do it.
But with the hope of bettering the educa
tional condition of the States of the South,
and giving them something like a fail
start in the work of establishing schools—
with the hope of helping them to lift
themselves from under a weight of igno
rance that must crush them down or re
duce them to a state of barbarism—for
the sake of the whole Union, which is
strong only in the strength of its parts—l
am ready to give my voice for the appro
priation of a generous sum by Congress to
aid, while the existing necessity contin
ues, that section of the country which so
badly needs such help.”
There are several points in the above
that are worthy of careful consideration.
In the first place, Mr. Wickersham is
not in favor of enlarging the powers and
duties of the government by giving it
control of the educational interests of the
country. He believes that it is the right
and duty of the States to manage their
own educational matters. The S3uth en
tertains the same view. If an appropria
tion is made by Congress for educational
purposes, and a bureau is established at
Washington to disburse the money, it
will not be many years before there will
be a new department of the government
known as the Department of Education.
As soon as a bureau of any kind is es
tablished, the struggle to enlarge its pow
ers and influence at once begins. If the
right to meddle in school matters were
granted to the government, the meddling
w ould go on, and eventually the educa
tional interests of the country would be
under the direction of the General Gov
ernment. The chief objection the South
has had all along to the Blair’s educa
tional bill is that it provides that
the money appropriated by Congress shall
be spent under the supervision ot Federal
officials. In the second place, Mr. Wick
ersham says that as a Northern man, he
is not anxious for Federal aid to Northern
schools, because the Northern people are
able to provide for their own schools. He
is in favor of government aid to schools,
however, because the South needs such
aid. The South does need aid for two
reasons: First, because a much larger
per cent, of her population is illiterate
and, second, because her illiterate popu
lation, the negroes, contribute little
or nothing to support schools.
The whole burden of keeping up the
schools falls upon the white people. The
white people, however, see the necessity
of educating the negroes, and they are
■ bearing the burden willingly. They do
not object to government aid, but they
submit that the aid ought tocome through
State channels. The negro will never im
prove morally until he is intellectually
advanced, and he will never become an
industrious and thrifty citizen until, as
regards morals and intelligence, he occu
pies a much higher plane than he does at
present.
The African Colonization.
The suddenly raised project of turning
Lower South Carolina into an African
colony, seems to be another of those windy
schemes conjured up by Republicans at
Washington for the purpose of rousing
the growing indifference of the colored
race to Republicanism, and preparing
them for the Presidential campaign next
year. If it could be carried out it would
probably be effectual in carrying the
State for the Republican candidate, but
no thinking man can see anything practi
cal in such a scheme beyond agitation for
political purposes.
The JVews and Courier sent out a re
porter last Friday to interview the colored
officials of that city, and while few of
them had even heard of the scheme, all
regarded it a humbug, impracticable and
ridiculous. W. J. Bowen, law partner of
ex-Speaker S. J. Lee, seemed to voice
the colored people of Charleston
in the expression: “I can’t
see any sense or reason in any such
scheme. I regard it as the height of folly
to advocate any scheme which has for its
object the colonization of any one race in
any one place for the benefit of one race
against the other.”
The Cotton Crop.
Mr. J. 11. MacFadden, of Philadelphia,
one of the largest cotton buyers in the
country, is credited with the assertion
that the cotton crop of 1883 will turn out
7,000,000 bales, which he considers 2,000,-
000 bales more than the world needs, and
will, therefore, average the farmers about
seven and a half cents, netting them no
more profit than 5,000,000 bales would
have done.
We are inclined to think Mr. McFadden
is correct, but we see no way of reducing
the yield of the crop after it passes all the
storms, the droughts and the caterpillars,
and we therefore advise the next best
thing in mind, which is to .build more
factories and put the surplus in fabrics.
When it doesn’t cost much to buy clothes
men will have more time and money to
procure other necessaries, and the burden
of labor should be decreased in proportion
: to the reduction of the cost of living.
A correspondent of the Charleston News
i and Courier, under date of August 10,
! writes as follows from J antes Island:
| “ ‘That ete. nal vigilance is the price of
a crop,’ no progressive sea island cotton
! planter of the present day will deny. The
experience this year has fully sustained
this opinion. First, we had a cold, wet
spring that sickened the crops and in
jured the stands, causing replanting and
much anxiety. We also had a new ex
perience in cotton dying when quite
young from no apparent cause. Our only
hope was replanting with the same con
| dition, seed, etc. On May 1 the storm
came with its full five inches of
i water. This compelled us in many
cases to replant, which was promptly
done. Fields of grass had grown re
gardless of the weather and flourished on
the wreck of crops, And now we have
our most detested yet dangerous enemy,
the caterpillar, They have appeared in
numbers quite unusual at this period of
the year; and what makes them more un
welcome is the expensive way in which
they have to be treated. Several planters
! have been poisoning them, but this has
: been of little effect, the uoison being
' washed off as fast as it has been applied
! by the frequent rains, which have been
I very favorable to the development of the
! caterpillar and injurious io the crop. That
there is a lair crop speaks well for the
' energy and enterprise of our community .’’
The people of Charleston are looking
forward to the celebration of the hun
dredth anniversary of that city’s incorpo
ration to-morrow with a great deal of in
terest. There will be no military display,
and no pageant of any kind. The cere
monies will be wholly civic. In the even
ing the display of fireworks is expected to
be the finest ever seen in the South. We
sincerely hope the weather will be prop*i.
tious, and that the occasion will be a joy
ous one.

Senator Blair snd Free Schools.
Philadelphia Press.
Senator Blair is in favor of free schools
and a national appropriation. Practical
ly the Pennsylvania Republicans who re
commended a distribution of the national
surplus among the States favor the same
policy. The Pennsylvania idea would
afford a more permanent relief to the
school systems and a more permanent
preventive of the accumulation of a sur
plus.
Preserving the Forests.
Boston Advertiser.
The Forestry Congress assembled yes
terday at St. Paul. President Loring gave
an address, and made the gratifying state
ment that in the oldest States replanting
is going on and the acreage of forest
steadily increasing. The movement to
check the denuding of the country is thus
proving to be both strong and seasonable.

Mew York Times.
Mr. Hoadly’s friend, “Jayhawker,”
has tapped public opinion in Indiana and
Illinois on the subject of “the old ticket,”
and an inspection of the samples collected
by him must convince Senator Voorhees
and Mr. McDonald that their only chance
of grasping the high honors they aspire to
lies through a patient and wide dissemi
nation of the familiar report—from the
lips of “a gentleman who has just visited
Greystone”—that Mr. Tilden will posi
tively refuse to be a candidate.

The recent death of the Hon. Ginery
Twichell, of Massachusetts, recalls the
old stage-coach days in New England.
Forty years ago Mr. Twichell was a fam

a Representative in Congress. The main
stage line ran north through Massachu
setts, with branches into New Hampshire
and Vermont. He performed remarkable
feats in the way of getting the mails
through on time. On one occasion a blind
ing snow storm came on with such fury
that it was impossible for horses to travel.
He put on snow shoes and carried the

There are many indications that the
Dutch people interested in the interna

rise to bewildering disputes by which the
pacific Dutchman has become quite be
fogged, and it is even announced that Hol
land protesses itself competent to furnish
its quota of jurors. It is the custom in
international exhibitions in Europe to
allow the country where the show is given
to select one-half of the jury from Its citi
zens, while the other half is made up from
members of other contributing countries.
But the Dutch have been threatened and
cajoled alternately by the French and the

1T IS denied by a Virginia clergyman
that the public opinion of that State ap
proves of dueling, and the only reasop
why it seems so to the uninformed to do
so is that the sentiment in favor of it has
been of late blatant, while the anti-duel
ing sentiment has been latent, He says
that Virginia decency has demanded rigid
laws against the practice: that State offi
cials are required to take an oath that
they had never been engaged in a duel,
either as principal or second, and that
the last Legislature passed a still more
rigid Uw, though it was vetoed by the
Governor, It is a fact, however, that
while Virginia law disfranchises the duel
ist, and prevents him from holding any
State office, there are at present from Vir
ginia two United States Senators, two
District Judges, two District Attorneys,
two Congressmen, and several other
United States officers who have been con
cerned in duels. *
The Result of a “Personal ”
Boston Budget.
A funny story is told of a lady who was
foolish enough to answer a “personal” in
a daily paper, which stated that a young
man was desirous of making the acquaint
ance of a young woman, with a view to
matrimony. She carried o.n a long cor
respondence with the advertiser, taking,
however, the precaution to have her let
ters copied by a confidential friend. She'
always sept the copies and retained the
originals. Her answers came regularly,
but her correspondent was quite as cau
tious as she was herself, for he always
employed a fype-writer, and she had no
means’ of becoming familiar with his hand
writing. Finally, after a good deal of
gush, a meeting was agreed upon between
the pair, and the lady was somewhat sur
prised when »he qrriy.ed at the place ap
pointed to see her broihej.; in his
buttonhole the flower which was aeUnied
upon as the means of identification. They
both acknowledged their folly by indulg
ing in a hearty laugh, and went home
together, fully resolved to have nothing

ager, Commendatore D’ Amico, and the
Sindics of Regina and Torre del Greco,
and after alighting, rested a while and
partook of some light refreshments in the
buffet ot the station. Shortly after their
Majesties accompanied by the Princess
and ladies and gentlemen in waiting,
entered the car. Commendatore D’Amico
took charge of the brakes and gave the
order for starting and the rapid upward
motion began.
Half way up the royal train crossed
with a descending car occupied by a band
playing the popular local air “Funiculi
Funicula.” Their Majesties, who had
been admiring the marvelous panorama
unrolling itself below their feet, expressed
their pleasure at these harmonious sounds
on the all but perpendicular mountain
side. The summit, 1180 metres above the
level of the sea, was soon reached; and
having taken their seats in two cushioned
chairs borne on the shoulders of the
Vesuvius guides,the two Queens approach
ed the crater. The Queen of Italy was at
tended by Com. D’Amico, while Signor
Piccioli acted as escort to Her Majesty of
Portugal. The princes and ladies in
waiting followed, while successive trains
brought up the rest of the royal retinue.
The level of the crater being attained,
their Majesties went on foot to the cenral
cone, and halted on the verge of the crater,
Vesuvius took part in the show, sending
up a shower of enormous rock and red-hot
lava, with an effect of indescribable
grandeur. The Queen of Portugal was
in ecstasies with the scene; and Queen
Margaet, while expressing to all her ad
mination amused herself by pushing her
alpenstock through the thin crust on
which she was standing,into the burning
lava below', until the point of the stick
took tire.
Eggs were cooked on the hot lava and
eaten with evident pleasure by their
Majesties and the royal princes, who first,
however, demanded permission from their
mother, The royal party remained on the
summit for nearly two hours, during
which time the princes amused them
selves in examining the deposits from
two small orifices which had only become
extinct the previous day, Just then a
change in the wind brought the stones
thrown up by Vesuvius into rather too
close proximity, and tlft» order to return
was given. The whole extent of the
crater was illuminated by numerous flam
ing torches, and a magnificent band en
livened the scene with a selection of airs.
Queen Margaret led the way. marking
the time to one of Strauss' delightful
waltzes.
Thet Struck.
New Yofk World.
A teacher finding it difficult to obtain
the prompt attendance of the boys in her
class, resolved to adopt a plan which she
felt sure would be successful. She said
to the boys:
“Now. I will give a bright penny to
each one who will be in their places every
Sunday.,”
The plan seemed to work well until one
Sunday not a boy appeared in his place.
The teacher was’ surprised and somewhat
discouraged that her plan had not
succeeded. But the next day, while
walking down street and thinking what to
do next, she met one of the boys and said
to him:
“Well, Johnnie, where were you yes
terday ?”
“At home, mum.”
“But why did you and the other boys
put epme to Sunday school and get your
pennies?”
“Oh, teacher, 'cause we’ve struck: we
won't come for less than two cents now.” <
We are not informed as to how long the
strikers held out. or whether the advance >

THE FASHION IN WHISKERS.
Enormous Variety of Hirsute Adorn
ments for the Jaws and Cheeks.
New York Journal.
It is the candid belief of physiognomists
that in New York is to be found a greater
variety of whisker than in any of the cities
of the Old World. The cosmopolitan char
acter of Gotham is given as the reason.
In conversation with the “prince of bar
l»ers” it was learned that more money has
been spent in the two years past in the
effort to create novelties in whiskers,
moustaches, goatees and imperials than
would be necessary to pay the running
expenses of the city.
“Are there recognized fashions in whisk
ers?”
“Well, I should say so. There is no
end to them. It would take me a week to
give you one-half the list, and yet a fash
ionable barber is supposed to be familiar
with them all, and to shave around them,
oil them up and keep them in trim with
out asking any questions. It is ruinous
to the reputation of a barber to inquire of
his customer how he wants his whiskers
done up, as it is an evidence of his ig
norance ot the fashion plates.”
“Give me a few of the names of whis
ker fashions, please?”
“Well, let me see. There are so many
I scarce know where to begin. Peabody,
the ‘English mutton-chop,’ is the most
common among gentlemen of fashion.
They are so cut as to give a clear view of
the chin, and are worn not only by the
English and persons who have spent some
time in England, but by those who have
very fat and florid faces. They give a
man an air of respectability.
“Then there is the -dove-tail’ whisker,
so called because of its expansion at the
end. The hair is cut close to the sides of
the face, but its growth below the chin is
encouraged. This style is worn a great
deal by cashiers and bank Presidents,and
is supposed to indicate the possession of
wealth.
"Then there is the ‘McCauley’ whisker,
named and worn in honor of the Scotch
millionaire. It is worn long and is parted
in the centre, giving to the wearer the ap
pearance of nobility. When cultivated
to its highest perfection it is exceedingly
becoming and never fails to attract at
tention in a high wind. It is only patro
nized by those having light hair and soft
blue eyes, and possesses a yeculiar charm
for the ladies.
“The ‘Alexis’ whisker is very popular,
too. It is common to Fifth avenue and
West Fourteenth street. Its peculiarity
is an inward curl at the end. To give full
effect to this style, low-neck shirts are in
dispensable.
“The ‘artist’ whisker is noted for its ir
regularity, poetically suggestive of men
tal preoccupation. It is cultivated care
fully to represent the most abandoned
carelessness—such as might be expected
in persons ol artistic taste.
“The ‘Bengal’ whisker is a ferocious
looking appendage. It is long and shaggy,
the sort of whisker that a man finds it
difficult to keep out of his soup. It is
most frequently encountered in beer sa
loons, and is generally worn by gentle
men who entertain advanced notions of
political economy.
“The ‘horsey’ whisker is a little close
cropped affair, high up on the jaw near
the ear. It is closely allied to the ‘County
Antrim’ whisker, which is like a little
frill under the ear. Both are often bright
red.
“With the ‘dude’ whisker you are, of
course, familiar. There is very little ot
it, and the early evidences of its growth
are very painful to witness—especially to
barbers.”
“What is its peculiarity?”
“It is principally microscopic, and re
quires a very experienced barber to find
out just where it begins and ends. The
dude is exceedingly careful of it, how
ever, and never fails to give the most
elaborate instructions as to the way it
should be oiled and dressed.”
“Got any more?”
“Oh, yes: I musn’t leave out the ‘crank’
whisker. The crank insists on having his
whisker combed the reverse way until you
can’t tell where the whisker ends and the
hair begins. As a rule this style is fol
lowed by inventors and persons of deep
musical knowledge.”
“With what class of people have you
the most trouble ?” «
“Oh, opera singers, oi course; and es
pecially the tenors. These gentlemen
never wear full beards, and very rarely
side whiskers. Their peculiar fancy is
for moustaches and imperials. The Ital
ians brush out their moustaches horizon
tally, after the fashion set by King Hum
bert and Victor Emanuel, while the
French follow the style laid down by
Napoleon 111.
“The disadvantage of very long, flowing
whiskers is particularly noticeable after a
bath in the sea, and no matter how youth
ful and beautiful the owner may be, he
looks, as he steps out of the water, like a
sickly descendant of the builder ot Noah’s
ark.
Was Senator Beck Snubbed?
A Washington special says: “If the
statements in the Louisville press' that
Senator Beck was ‘snubbed’ at the Presi
dent’s reception at Louis ille are true,
none will regret it more than the Presi
dent himself. The latter recognized Sen
ator Beck as the chief man of those who
came here to invite him to the Exposition,
I and it was the active part taken by Sena
tor Beck in the movement to secure his
attendance that had much to do with his
acceptance. There is another reason why
the President will regret such an occur
| rence as is reported, which is based on an
awkward mistake which was made at the
Soldiers’ Home when the Kentucky Com
mittee of Invitation, at the head of which
was Senator Beck, called on him by ap
pointment to present their invitation.’ The
committee was to meet the President at 1
o’clock. Just as it was leaving the city
to drive out to his quarters Commissioner
Evans, then a few days old in Washing
toiij appeared and joined the party. On
arriving at the Soldiers’ Home, Mr. Evans
went in first and sent a card to the Presi
dent. The committee sat down in the re
ception room, the members congratulating
each other that by rapid driving they had
arrived so as not to keep the President
waiting. Haif an hour passed without a
word from Mr. Arthur. When an hour
had gone the stock of stories and jokes
with which the members sought to
conceal their impatience was about
exhausted, and there were some ill
tempered criticisms upon keeping gen
tlemen waiting so long when they were
present by appointment and had been
prompt to meet it. After an hour and a
quarter the patience of all was about ex
hausted, and Mr. Beck took occasion to
express himself quite emphatically in re
gard to the treatment of gentlemen for
whom an appointment had been made,
when five minutes later—that is, an hour
and a quarter after Mr. Evans sent up his
card—the door opened and the President
entered. He looked around with unmis
takable surprise. He said:’‘Gentlemen,
I had no idea there was any one here but
Mr. Evans.’ Then, advancing and shak
ing hands with Senator Beck, he again as
sured him that he had not been informed
that his committee had arrived; that he
had only received the card of Mr. Evans,
and that if he had had the least idea the
Louisville committee were in waiting he
would have seen them at once.
The President was evidently much
annoyed over the matter, and be
fore ’ the committee left he was
very emphatic in again explaining [the
matter. He had only received the card of
Mr. Evans, and supposed he was alone.
All this time Mr. Evans was doing his on
ly blushing since he entered public life.
When the committee withdrew Mr, Evans
insisted that while he had only sent up
his own card, he told the messenger who
was with him. This will always be a dis
puted point in the official history of Com
missioner Evans. The President was very
solicitous that Senator Beck should un
derstand that he would not keep him in
his reception room without sending him
any word, as he had a perfect right to
keep any official of the government. He
will, without doubt, feel much annoyed
over the published statements that the
Senator was snubbed at the Louisville
reception,”
How Luther Became a Monk,
Contemporary Review.
Returning to Erfurt, in the summer of
1505, from a visit to his family at Mans
field, Luther was overtaken by a storm,
The lightning struck the ground before
his feet; he fell from his horse, “Holy
Anne,” he cried to the mother of the vir
gin, “help me; I will become a monk.”
Next day he repented of his vow, for he
knew how it would grieve his father; but
his life had been spared; he believed that
the vow had been heard and registered in
Heaven; and without waiting for his res
olution to be shaken he sought and found
admittance in his Augustinian Monastery
in the town. His career hitherto had
been so brilliant that the old Hans had
formed lhe brightest hopes for film, Ije
was bitterly disappointed, knowing, per
haps, more of monks and monkdom than
his son. He consented with a sore
heart, perhaps, hoping that a year’s ex
perience and discipline of the’ novitiate
would cure a momentary folly. The Au
gustinians owned no property; they lived
on alms, and the young Martin, to’ break
his pride, was set to the lowest drudgery
in the house, and was sent about the town
to beg. Luther, however, flung himself
with enthusiasm into the severest
penances. He fasted, he prayed, he lay
on the stones, he distracted hi’s spiritual
adviser with the refinements of his con
fessions. The common austerities failing,
he took to hair shirts and whips, and the
brethren supposed that they had a grow
ing saint among them. To’ himself these
resources availed nothing, The temper
which he hoped to drive out of hitnseli
clung to him in spite of all’ pre
scribed remedies, But still he per
severed; the novitiate ended,
and he' took the vows and became
full monk and priest. His father attended
the ceremony, though in no pleasant
humor. “Y'oii learned men,” he said at
tije convent dinner, “have you never read
that a man should obey his father and
mother ?” They told him his son had re
ceived a call from Heaven. “Pray God,”
the old man answered, “it be not a trick
of the devil. I must eat and drink with
you, but I would gladly be gone.” Two
vears passed away. Luther occupied
himselt with eagerly studying the Bible,
but his reading would not pacify his rest
less conscientiousness. The Vicar
General of the order, Father Staupitz, a
wise, open-minded man, saw him. heard
his confessions, and understood them.
He perceived that his mind was
preying upon itself, and that he
required to be taken out of him
self by active employment. The Elector
Frederick, Frederick’the Wise, as distin
guished from his orother and his nephew,
had lately founded a university at Witten
berg, a considerable town on the Elbe.
The Augustinians had an affiliated house
in Wittenberg, and Staupitz transferred
Luther thither, to teach theology and
philosophy. Luther was now twentv-five,
and there is a gap of two rears in his his
tory. He must have observed and thought
much in these years, or the tinder would
scarcely have been kindled bv the sparks
which fell upon it at the end of them.
The air of Germany was growing thick
with symptoms of storm.
Fishing Through a Floating Island.
Hartford Cowant.
“If it rains to-morrow, what say you to
a day’s fishing through a floating island?”
inquired my genial host as we stood in the
garden of a Southern Massachusetts par
sonage one evening, wondering whether
the redness of the western sky was that
which betokens rain. So when morning
came in with a smart shower a local fish
erman drove us off- southward, past the
boundary stone of three States, into the
town ot Thompson, Conn., where we were
to beard the bullhead under his native
heath. The pond looked black and dismal
in the pouring rain, but the floating island
a few rods from shore lent interest to the
view. Our fisherman rowed us over in an
old scow, and stepped out with the tea
chests that both his followers had been told
to bring along. The fishing ground bent
under our feet at every step, so that the
black water gurgled up around our
ankles, but so thick and strong were the
rootsof the bushes and grasses intergrown
t hat a perfectly safe support was afforded.
The island was apparently about fifteen
inches thick and of several square rods in
extent, and was thickly overgrown with
bushes and small willows. Beaching the
centre, each of us cleaned out a small
hole cut through the island, and seated
on our tea-chests began to fish, and the
fish, if bull-heads may be so dignified,
began to bite. They were voracious that
day and struck the hooks as soon as they
fell below terra in-firma. We three, in
less than three hours, took 286 bull-heads
of fair size, besides several perch and
roach. The fish were very dark in color,
reflecting the blackness of ther haunt,
they were the sweetest of and tenderest
of bull-heads when cooked.
Many members of the British Parlia
ment will come to America during the
coming recess.

Has been more destructive to human
health and life than war, pestilence
and famine combined.” So said a dis
tinguished writer manv vears ago, amt
| it is as true to-day as then. The ]>oor
I victim of Blood' Disease is drugged
I with Mercury to cure the maladv. and I
then dosed with lodides to cure him of
the Mercurial Poisoning; but instead of
any relief, the first breaks down his
general health and makes him a crip- I
pie. and the other ruins his digestive !
organs. To those afflicted in this way
Swift's Specific is the greatest boon on
earth, and is worth more than its
weight in gold. It antidotes this Mer
curial Poison, tones up the system, ami
brings the sufferer back to health ami
happiness. Every person who has ever
been salivated should by all means
take a thorough course of this remedy.

Five years ago 1 found on my planta
tion a colored man who was badly dis
eased. He stated that five years lie
fore he had contracted a violent case
of Blood Poison, ami had been treated
by many physicians, all failing to cure
him. I treated him with Swnt’s Spe
cific, and in a short time he was sound
| and well, and has not had a symptom
of the disease since.
