The free baths in Philadelphia were
patronized by 60,000 people last week.
Probably these free baths are keeping
down the Blaine and Logan enthusiasm
in that city.
Over fifteen thousand people in St.

B th Blaine and Logan appear to baTe
overl -oked the subject of nepotism in their
letters of acceptance. Probably they have
cor fiilence in Cleveland’s reform notions,
and teel pretty sure he will turn their
relatives out and put an end to that
business.
Kevly promised that his .motor should
go off again Saturday, but it didn't
do so. He should next appoint the

Steel rails have been quite recently con

logan’s Letter.
Logan’s letter of acceptance Is very lit
tle more than a weak and abbreviated
edition of Blaine’s. He gives a great deal
of attention to the tariff. Blaine said
nothing new on this subject, and what he
aaid wouldn’t bear close investigation,
but he managed to mass figures and as
sertions in such s way as to attract at
tention. Loean’s effort falls far below
Blaine's presentation of the aubject, and
actually raises a doubt whether he knows
very much about the tariff question. He
certainly was not conspicuous in the
great tariff debate that occupied
a large part of the second session
of the Forty-seventh Congress.
In devoting so much of his letter to the
tariff, however, he did not take into con
sideration probably, how much or how
little he knew about it. His purpose
was to emphasize the position taken by
Blaine that the tariff is the most impor
tant issue before the country, and that
the Republican party intends to devote
more attention to it during the campaign
than to anything else. The general im
pression is that the springing of the tariff
issue on the country in the latter part of
the campaign of IWO -gave the Republi
cans the victory, and the Republican lead
ers propose to place their dependence on
it in the present campaign.
Logan has more to say about the South
than Blaine had. He talks as if he
thought it would be a good thing to wave
the bloody shirt to a limited extent. The
condition of things In the South from a
political standpoint doesn’t suit him at
all. He is certain that if the negroes
were allowed to vote freely several of
the Southern States would give their
electoral votes to the Republican candi
dates. Of course he is excusable
for tills sort of talk, because
he doesn't know, and doesn’t want to
know, perhaps, that his statements are
based on incorrect information. He has
an idea that all the negroes are Republi
cans, and that they would all go to the
polls and vote the Republican ticket if
they were not prevented. Asa matter of
fact a great many negroes are Democrats,
and a very large proportion of them don’t
care enough about their right to vote to
pay their poll taxes or even to go to the
polls. It is probable that if the Republi
cans had control ot the ballot-boxes
and the poll-books, and the Republican
returning boards were still in existence,
two or three, and perhaps more of
the Southern States would appear to give
a majority for the Republican ticket, but
as long as the ballot-boxes and poll-books
are in honest hands, and the returning
boards are out of the way, there is very
little probability that the line of the solid
South will be broken.
The apparent earnestness and sincerity
with which Logan discusses civil service
reform is amusing. The impression his
letter conveys is that he has always been
a civil service reformer, and that about
the only fault that he has ever found with
his party has been that it accepted this re
form so tardily and with such a lack of en
thusiasm. Asa matter of tact, Logan has
about as little respect for civil service
reform as has the well-known Flanigan,
of Texas, who made himself famous by
the utterance of a single sentence at the
National Republican Convention of 1880.
Flanigan’s sentence was, “What are we
here for if not for the offices ?” Logan
ever since his advent in public life has
been a persistent seeker after places lor
his relatives and henchmen, and, if cate
rent Washington gossip does not do him
injustice, be has never been backward in
demanding the removal of good men to
mike places for his favorites and follow
ers. He would have shown wisdom by
saying less about civil service reform.
Logan touches upon other topics, but
Blaine, in his letter, having treated them
in a way so much superior, it is needless
to call attention to Logan’s reference to
them.
Postal Treaty with Mexico.
The necessity for a postal treaty between
this country and Mexico has become
almost imperative since railroad connec
tion between the two countries was ef
fected. The Postmaster General and the
Mexican Minister at Washington have
been at work on such a treaty for three
months or more, and they have about
completed their task. There were more
difficulties connected with framing such
a treaty than was at first supposed. The
Postmaster General and the Mexican
Minister made the first draft of
the treaty without much delay or
trouble. The Postmaster General knew
what to demand on the part of this coun
try, and Minister Romero knew what
would be best for his country, but he was
by no means certain that bis views would
be approved by his government. The first
draft was translated into Spanish and
sent to Mexico, and, in the course of time,
it came back with suggestions for a good
many changes. Senor Romero’s task then
really began. He has lived a good part of
his life outside of Mexico, and his views
are much more liberal than those of a ma
jority of Mexican statesmen. He set him
self to work to get the Postmaster General
to agree to some of the changes suggested,
and also exerted himself to get bis home
government to withdraw some of its sug
gestions. lie succeeded beyond his ex
pectations, and this week anew draft
was forwarded to Mexico, which it is be
lieved will prove satisfactory. At pres
ent mails are shipped on the frontier,
where they have to remain twenty-four
hours in order to give the Postmaster at
El Paso, where the frontier is crossed,
time to make out letter bills. When the
proposed treaty goes into operation mails
will pass to and from Mexico just as they
now pass from one State to another
in this country. Mexico will still
retain her postage, which is nine cents
per half ounce. Letters will pass from
this country, however, lo Mexico, at the
regular domestic rate—two cents per half
ounce. Gradually the relations between
this country and Mexico are becoming
closer. With commercial and postal
treaties, it will not be long before the bar
riers to trade, which have existed so long,
and which have practically shut this
country out of the Mexican market, will
be thrown down. The Mexican trade is
well worth an effort.
Blaine's Load.
It must be rather galling to Blaine to
know that many of the be6t men in his
party are refusing to support him be
cause they do not think he is a fit man to
be President. He is a very proud and a
very sensitive man, and unless he has a
will of iron and a constitution that can
bear any strain he will be broken down
before the campaign closes. What a
lesson bis career teaches to the younger
generation of public men! The trickster,
the demagogue, or the dishonest man is
sure to be found out, and he is certain to
be condemned and made to pay the
penalty of his wrong-doing. Blaine is a
man of magnificent ability, and intellec
tually is fitted to fill any position, but
when his moral character is brought into
question good men shrink away from
him. Not an independent paper in all
the country supports him, and in
his own paxty that part of the better ele
ment which has not deserted him is not
showing marked enthusiasm in his behalf.
How often must be have wished, in the
last few years, that he had never written
the Mulligan letters, or rather, that be
had not coveted those Little Rock Rail
way bonds; but then, is a nian holding a
high official position, who uses that posi
tion to advance his private fortune, capa
ble of remorse? Whether he is or not, be
is doubtless capable of being convinced
thxt there are enterprises in which it does
not pay to be a dead-head.
The Washington Capital thinks Benj.
Butler would be satisfied with a Cabinet
position under Cleveland, and that if it
were promised him he would be working
like a Turk tor the Democratic ticket in a
few minutes. This is the first intimation
wc have had that Butler would be satis
fied with anything short of the whole
world. President Cleveland won’t have
any Cabinet positions to spare that will
fit Benjamin. He might as well proceed
with his conspiracy. _
The Republican papers are claiming the
Swedish vote for Blaine and Logan. They
are not counting so heavily on the Irish
vote since Blaine's tame and spiritless
letter. The? are having nothing to say
about the German vote of late.
The Prohibition Party.
Of the small fry parties the Prohibition
ists do not seem to have attracted much
attention lately. There has been a good
deal more talk about the Greenback party
and the Anti-Monopoly party than about
the Prohibition party, and yet the Pro
hibitionists are a great deal stronger than
either of Butler’s bantlings. In fact, It
is not too much to say that they are a
power in several States not to be despised.
In Ohio and lowa at the elections last fall
they polled a vote that was absolutely
startling to the old-time politicians. They
are now bolding their National Convention
at Pittsburg, and, doubtless, they will
i ohj in ate a national ticket. The man who
is spoken of as likely to be their nominee
for President is Dr. R. H. McDonald, of
San Francisco. The Doctor has three
great advantages. He has a reputation
as a temperance worker, ability and an
immense fortune. His fortune, perhaps,
will do more towards securing the nomi
nation for him than anything else, lie
cause there will be need of money to car
ry on the campaign. Of course the Pro
hibitionists do not expect to carry any
State, but they do think, doubtless, that
their*party will grow until they will be
able not only to elect the President and
Vice President, but also to control the
legislation of the country, State and na
tional. Such a thing hardly appears
either reasonable or probable, but then, in
the beginning, few outside of those con
nected with it thought that the Republi
can party would amount to anything.
Even here in Georgia the Prohibition sen
timent is remarkably strong. It is never
wise to sneer at a movement that has a
great principle at the bottom of it.
The increase in railway travel in
America since the fares have been re
duced from four and five to two and three
cents has been remarkable. In Europe
the fares for first, second and third-class
passengers have all been greatly re
duced during the last few years, and the
consequence is that the increase in traffic
has been enormous. It is thought that
one cent per mile will be the popular
fare in this country within the next ten
years. A few years ago railroad agents
used to contend that it cost two and one
half cents per mile to haul passengers,
but now it is a recognized fact that no
fixed rule for calculating the cost ol such
service will apply. Full trains at low
fares will pay much better than compara
tively empty trains at high, fares. Be
sides, any considerable increase in the
passenger traffic of a road has a favor
able effect on the freight business, as it
stimulates trade.
Ex-Minister Sargent says that the Con
tinent is a dangerous place for young and
pretty .American ladies who have fortunes
or great expectations in the way of
wealth. He says: ‘‘The Continent is full
of fortune hunters, and they are contin
ually on the lookout for American heir
esses. It is very seldom that marriages
with them turn out happily. I was con
tinually called upon to protect or to relieve
girls who were entrapped by worthless
fellows, and no one, with the experience I
have had, would advise the sending ot a
daughter to Europe for education.”

CURRENT COMMENT.
What Has Been Observed.
Galveston Xews (Pern.).
Has it been observed that there is not a
single Independent paprin the United States
supporting Blaine? Heretofore the Independ
ent press for the most part was the real back
bone of Republicanism.
Blaine's Quixotic Record.
Xew Tork Sun (ln<i.).
The Monroe doctrine was all right, and Mr.
Blaine’s bullying South American policy was
prettv much all wrong. His admirers will do
well to avoid much reference to his essays in
dip’omaov. Brother Blaine has many smart
qualities,'but solid judgment is not one of his
possessions. His record as Secretary of State
was as Quixotic as it was sensational.
Protection Didn't Do. It.
Xeic York Herald (Ind.).
One hundred and twenty million acres at
s’oo peaacre would account for two-fifths of
the increase of wealth which Mr. Blaine
claims for the twentv years alluded to. Pro
tection did nothing whatever to stimulate this
wonderful agricultural advance. Neither did
protection cause the enhanced value of older
farming lands, which has been particularly
noticeable in the South, where the demand of
the freedmen for farms of their own has led to
the profitable cutting up of great plantations
into small estates.
No Vulgar Slander.
Xew Tork World (Pern.).
There are stories floating in the air con
cerning the personality of James G. Blaine,
but no reputable Democratic newspaper has
ever been mean enough lohint at tbeir nature.
The same mav be said of the eminent Re
publiean who at present occupies the White
House, but there is a point, even in the low
depths of politics, where all men of true
instincts stop. The public records of Blaine
and Cleveland are open to inspection, and
upon those records the campaign should be
fought. If it is to be a campaign of vulgar
slander the Republican press will have to take
the initiative.
A New England Deluge.
Washington Pott (Pern .).
Not onlv in Massachusetts and Connecticut,
but in all the other New England States, is
the disaffection spreading. It is a disagree
ment that cannot lie compromised, a revblt
that cannot be subdued. In New York the
Independents are counting new recruits by
the hundred every day. Nor is the VV est free
from the disintegrating influence. Indiana
and Michigan furnish long lists of bolting Re
publicans, and other Western States are pre
paring for an organized effort in harmony
with the Independents of the East. Those
who laughed at the shower when the first
drops fell six or seven weeks ago are beginning
to prepare for the deluge.

It is some slight comfort to know that other
nations besides sourselve* sometimes blunder
in the construction of war vessels. The Ajax
and Agamemnon of the British navy, which
took nearlv eight Years to construct, and cost
about JS.SOO.O’.O, are pronounced to be failures.
Per contra, a private firm on the Thames
built an ironclad of 6,000 tons for a foreign
government in two years, which not only
embodied all the latest improvements, but cost
only a quarter of the amount which has been
squandered on the Ajax and Agamemnon.
A good instance of the affectation of the
Spanish people for old churches occurred re
cently in Mission San Jose, a little village of
Santa Clara county, California. The place
wassweDt by fire, which threatened at one
time to destroy the old church, which is still
in good preservation. Next door to it was a
large wine cellar, so the ingenious citizens
knocked in the heads of a dozen hogsheads of
fine old claret, and with the wine extinguished
the flames and saved the church. The best
part of the joke is that the claret belonged to
Archbishop Alemany and was intended for
his private table.
St. Paul’s is a restiDg place not for the

ciallv on hot bqbkmt days, the cathedral is
well filled, if not with worshipers, at least
with quiet and orderly visitors. Bound the
aisles there is a steady stream of sightseers,
but on the benches in the nave there are all
sorts and conditions of men and women, some
of them workmen dozing in the unwonted

moment from the hot chase.

There is no spot in the world where coffee
is so badly made as in this country, says a
writer in the San Francisco Aryonaui. And
this arises from several causes. The first of
these is the purchasing of coffee ground and
roasted at grocery stores, where the sale uso
small that the roasted coffee is often three
weeks or a month oM, and hs, through ex
posure to the weather and influence of thecli
mate. entirely lost tto aroma. The second
cause is that the berry is often burnt instead
of being property roasted, amt has in conse
quence a pungent, bitter flavor, instead of its
natural flavor and aroma. The third cause is
that in many hotels, restaurants, and even
6 rival* house*, sufficient coffee is not nsed.
[owever good the berry may be, however
carefully roasted, its qualities are bound to
disappear under too much water
French school* have lately been taking to
object lessons on a very large scale, the
authorities having come to the conclusion
that the best way of teaching children about
foreign countries is to let them see those
countries for themselves. At several of the
Parisian schools a preliminary course of
study in the political and industrial
history of the countries to be visited is first
gone through, and then the pupils are taken
en masse to see what thev have been learning
about. One school, the Ecole Monge, has just
returned from a tour in Switzerland and
Italv, and another, the Eeole des Hantes
Etndes Commerciales, from a tour in Eng
land. The French Consul in London looked
after the young tourists, who visited the

PROGRESS AND PROSPERITY.
The Growing City of Waycross—A Soul-
Stirring Revival —The Street Railway—
Artesian Well, Etc.
Correspondence oj the Morning Xews.
Waycross, July 22. —Our little city—no, I
am wrong, it is not “little”—not by any means.
We claim at the least calculation 3,000 inhabi
tants; but Waycross, that “mighty city” (?),
is all progress and prosperity. In almost
any direction you may cast the eye is seen
in course of construction storehouses and
dwellings. Improvements of ail kinds are be
ing carried forward vigorously.
During the past week a glorious and soul
stirring revival has been in progress in the
Methodist Church. That excellent and good
man of God, Rev. J. D. Anthony,
presiding elder of the Waycross district,
has been with us, and nreached some sermons
that will long be remembered by those who
were so fortuante as to hear him.' Several ac
cessions have been made to the church, and it
is hoped much good has been accomplished,
which, as yet, the human eye cannot discern.
The meeting continues next week.
Our street railway has been completed, and
the car made its first trip last Thursday. It is
in the hands of some of our most energetic
and enterprising citizens and capitalists. The
car is a beauty. Only one will be required at
present, but as the fall and winter season
opens, it will be necessary to put one or two
more on.
The artesian well, of which so much has
been said, and so little accomplished, has at
last become a settled fact. The special tax,
for boring it, has been levied, and is being
collected. This means business. And soon
we hope to be enjoving the cool invigorating
and health-giving draughts of oar Waycross
artesian well.
The melon crop, though not as good as was
expected by the growers, is not to be com

The continued rains a few weeks back in

all other I think, I am safe in
saving “ excellent ” crops will be made. The
harvest will be great.
Local politics are warming day by dav, and
the signs indicate a warm and spirited con
test; and once in awhile, yea. continually,

A Word for Merslion.
Sasasxah, July 23.— Editor Morning
Xeict: Before the convention which as
sembles in this city to-day for the purpose
of selecting a suitable candidate to repre
sent the First district of Georgia in the
Forty-ninth Congress of the United States,
the name of the Hon. Martin L. Mer
shon (present Judge of the Brunswick
circuit) will be strongly advocated.
The sterling worth and integrity of this
noble Georgian is well attested by the
actions in the primary meetings of many
counties in the district, i. e., instructing
their delegates to vote for him first, last,
and alwavs if necessary. This of itself, it
seems, is a sufficient guarantee that
his selection will make a unit of
the Democracy in the district, and it is
to be hoped that our Chatham delegation
will so construe it: and, while they may
have favorites at home for whom it is
their choice to vote, let them for once
sacrifice personal preferences for public
goodi and render to this noble son of
Georgia that nomination which will meet
with the approbation and admiration of
every well-thinking citizen in the First
Congressional district, Chatham.
Electrical Phenomenon In Connecticut.
Hartford, July 19.—The most marvel
ous stories concerning the late Beries of
electrical storms which have done so
much damage to the crops in western
Connecticut continue to come in. A well
known Putnam physician, who was drir.
ing in one of the showers on a very dark
night near West Thompson, was startled,
and his horse was terrified and brought to
a standstill, bv the easy descent oi a large
globe or molten mass of fire in the road
ahead of him. When abont thirty feet dis
tant it appeared to become motionless for
a space of five or six seconds, and then,
with a sound like the crack of a repeating
rifle, it burst into thousands of atoms, and
for a moment presented the most brilliant
spectacle he ever saw. All colors and
hues were vividly brought out. Then it
disappeared. He does not recollect that
any sound followed this electric display.
It was some time before he could induce
his horse to move on. Fragments of the
thunderbolt, which looked like cooled iron
ore and smelled like sulphur, were found
about the road the following day.
BLAINE AND CLEVELAND ON
WINGS.
A Presidential Race in Which Carrier
Pigeons Contest for High Honors.
Xet* Tork Herald. July It.
“I tell you that there Cleveland’s a daisy
from Daisy ville. He just takes the cake
as a flyer. He’s as clean cut as a whistle,
and to see him work them wings of his is
just beautiful—beau-ti-ful. Bet you six
to four on Cleveland.”
“Give us a rest with vour Cleveland.
Blaine’s the bird Dir me. He takes the
course like a bullet from a musket and
shoots through the air like a streak of
greased lightning. What’s yet bet?”
“Six to four on Cleveland.”
“Take yer.”
“Bet yer five to five on Hendricks.”
“Done.”
“Bet yer five more.”
“Done.”
Such were the exclamations which went
up from a crowd ot persons who were
gathered in fro til of a sporting bouse at
the northeast corner of West Twenty
second street and Seventh avenue yester
day afternoon, and who had assembled to
witness a great Presidential race, to be
contested over as fair a field as ever ex
isted and under conditions which ad
mitted of no favor. This race was between
carrier pigeons, respectively named
Cleveland and Blaine, and Hendricks and
Logan. The course was from the sporting
house to the residence of the birds’ owner,
Mr. A. C. Butts, of East Orange, N. J.
THE START.
The start was eagerly awaited by seme
two hundred people and a muscular bull
dog with the eountenabee of a Tammany
Hall heeler and the teeth of a buzz saw.
At 10:30 the rival candidates for first
honors in pigeondom life were brought
out. Cleveland was a gray checkered
bird, with soft, gazelle-like eyes and
gracefully curved neck. Blaine was a
blue pigeon, with a white sprinkled head
which gave dignity to his appearance.but
in whose eyes there was a twinkle sug
gestive of latent rascality. The appear
ance of the two birds was a signal for re
newed outburst of partigan feeling from
the spectators.
An instant later the birds were loosed.
They rose high in air and swept around
in graceful "circles, while determining
upon their course. On the same second
they both made up their minds and darted
forward in the direction of the North
river. Blaine, with no batch of Mulligan
letters or unsavory records anent certain
guano steals to weigh him down, shot
through the clear summer air with light
ning speed. Cleveland, son of Albright,
king among carrier pigeons, who had
never faced defeat, winged his way on
ward in a way which showed him to be
worthy of his descent. Onward they
flew, the biue slightly ahead of the gray.
As this was perceived a great shout went
up from the Blaine partisans, and the
vieious looking bull dog, evidently a
Blaine supporter, al'owed his stumpy tail
to almost wag him off his legs. The cries
grew louder.
THE RACE.
“Go it, Blaine! Blaine wins! Blaine!
Blaine! Blaine! Hurrah! Cleveland’s
beat.”
Was he? With three or four quivers of
the body, accompanied by as many mighty
wing claps, the gray bird pressed for
ward and came up even with the white
headed Blaine. For an instant they
swept onward, the gray beside the blue,
and then both were lost to sight in the dis
tance
Hendricks, a red-checkered bird, and
Logan, a copper colored pigeon, were next
brought out. Logan had somewhat the
better of the start, but Hendricks was
very close behind as the birds passed out
of sight. Tammany Hail and Ben Butler,
as also a number of other pairs, were then
started on races. The length df the
course is estimated at fourteen miles.
THE FINISH.
Twenty-two minutes later the crowd
gathered" in iront of Mr. Butts’ residence
at East Orange saw a black spot appear
in the distance. Was the dark snot the
Democratic or was it the Republican
bird? Less than a minute later this ques
tion was settled, as a blue bodied bird,
with a white head, came onward, swift
as a lightning flash, swooped down on the
croft and shot straight as an arrow under
the bob wire. A hoarse shout of delight
went up from the Blaine men. Two
minutes later the defeated gray check
ered bird passed under the wire. Time—
Blaine, 23 minutes; Cleveland, 25 min
utes.
But interest was quickly withdrawn
from the winning bird, as Hendricks and
Logan, side by sTde, rushing like meteors
through the ether, appeared from beyond
the horizon. Onward the birds came,
racing gallantly neck to neck. Nearer
and nearer they drew, and yet neither
seemed to gain an inch of advantage.
Down on the croft they shot, stil neck to
neck. But upon reaching the bob wire
Logan hesitated in passing under. Hen
dricks, however, shot past like a flash,
thus winning the race. Time 22 minutes.
The race between Tammany and Ben
Butler was won by the former. Time—
Tammany 28 minutes, Ben Butler 35 min
utes.
A MOTHER FINDS HER BOY.
Romantic Incident in the Life of Mrs.
Caroline H. Pemberton.
Long Branch, N. J., July 20.—The
Pemberton will case, which has attracted
so much interest throughout the State,
has been decided by the Orphans’ Court
of Monmouth county in favor of Mrs.
Caroline If. Pemberton, of Asbury Park.
Mrs. Caroline Pemberton, then of Long
Branch, made her will, giving to her
daughter, Caroline IL, of Asbury Park, a
large portion ot her estate both in this
country and in England, and to her sons,
Drs. John C. and Harry -11., of Long
Branch, she gave some mortgages which,
between the making of her will and her
death, she converted into real estate.
That real estate was devised by the will,
and goes equally to the three children.
Mrs. Pemberton died in England, where
she, her daughter, Caroline H., and Dr.
Harry H., were traveling. After her bu
rial the two came back to America, where
the wiil was discovered by the sons. The
daughter, who is the executrix of the
offered it for probate, where it was
met by a caveat, tiled by William H. Yre
denburgh and ex-Judge Chillion Robbins
for the sons, setting up undue influence
and fraud on the part of the daughter in
procuring the will in her favor, she hav
ing taken care of her mother for many
years prior to her death. After a long,
tedious, and expensive trial the court de
cided in lavor of the daughter, admitting
the will to probate. The estate is worth
nearly a million dollars.
The" lady who wins this great legal bat
tle has a romantic history. While travel
ing with her mother in Europe, Caroline,
then a miss of about 18, fell in love with a
young Jewish gentleman, who was a
student at one of the Parisian academies.
A clandestine marriage was the result.
Later, it is said, through the influence of
the young wile’s family, the husband of
Caroline left for parts unknown. A child
was afterward born to the young wife, but
when she—the mother—regained her
health the child was missing. The young
mother was told that it had died immedi
ately after birth. After the death of her
mother, Caroline, who still kept her
maiden name, found herself a wealthy
woman. Visiting Europe, the lady with
her wealth used every effort to find her
husband and child, "both of whom she
believed to be alive, but without success.
Later, while at her Long Branch home,
Mrs. Pemberton was sitting in the sum
mer house on the bluff, came
a Jewish youth peddling One wares.
With a frantic cry the the
youth to her breast and called him her
“darling, long-lost bov.” Nothing could
convince the lady mat she might be mis
taken, and the young man is going
through a course at college, and has
been fully installed as Mrs. Pemberton’s
son.
A DEEPLY AFFLICTED WOMAN.
Just a Little Shock Makes Her Bones
Break Like Pipestems.
The wife of a well-known minister of
this State, says a Winona, Minn., special
of the 19th inst. to the Philadelphia Frets,
is afflicted with what is known in com
mon English as “fragile bones.” .All of
the bones in her body are gradually turn
ing to a substance resembling hard chalk.
Several years ago an acquaintance in
helping her out of a carriage broke her
collar bone. As soon as it had healed one
of her arms broke while someone was as
sisting her from a vehicle. A little later
her other arm dropped helpless at her side
when she attempted to make some use
of it.
After a great deal of trouble both of the
fractures were reunited, but in a little
while one of her arms was broken in
another place, the last time by the suf
ferer merelv lifting a sugar bowl. Thus
matters have run along for several years,
the unfortunate woman breaking one of
her limbs every little while. The disease
is gradually spreading, and is now reduc
ing the bones of her legs to chalk. The
greatest care is exercised to prevent the
sufferer making use of her limbs. She is
carefully lifted about, and is moved around
in an invalid’s chair. Physicians say if
she should fall from her chair or have an
unusual shock all of the bones of her
body from her knees would snap into
small fragments, and of course her death
would ensue. ~
He Could Tie a Secure Knot.
Poston Commercial Bulletin.
“Is there any gentlemen in the room,”
said the - prestidigitator at the Summer
Hotel as he made a pasteboard cocktail
with a pack of cards. “Is there any gen
tleman in the room who can tie a strong
knot?” And a little round-shouldered,
sad-eyed man in the back seat said if the
Rev. Mr. Thumpcushion was there he
could tie a knot for him that could not be
squirmed out of. And then the married
men grinned.
ANTE-BELLUM SENATORS.
Bcmlnlicfnc*) of Jeff Dttli, Robert
Too mb* and R. M. T. Hunter.
In the year 1860, says the St, Louis Re
publican of July 16th, Jefferson Da
ria of Mississippi, Robert Toombs of
Georgia, and IL M. T. Hunter of
Virginia were members of the United
States Senate, and not only its
three most influential members, but emi
nent Southern leaders. Each represent
ed a State which claimed and exercised
a weighty influence in the national coun
cil, and as they belonged to the then
dominant party and were champions of
the theories that rested on slavery, they
possessed an authority which, in the
present chanced condition of things, it is
difficult to comprehend. The political
sky wore a troubled look in the spring of
1860. The John Brown raid on Harper’s
Ferry had recently taken place, showing
what daring and dangerous measures
Abolitionism was capable of; Kansas,
after a fierce struggle, had been
lost to the South; the growing
Republican party was piepariug for the
Chicago Convention that nominated Abra
ham Lincoln: there were crave divisions
in the Democratic party that had ruled the
country for nearly titty years; and, to com
plicate things still more, there was a
strong native American element in the
Southern States which refused to ally
itself with the Southern Democracy in
defense of the extreme position which the
latter claimed was uecessary for the
maintenance of Southern institutions and
interests. Congress was still in session,
and it was observed that Davis, Toombs
and Hunter were frequently sitting to
gether in the Senate, as if in consultation.
These consultations usually took place
at the desk of the Senator from Missis
sippi, and the fact was remarked then, as
proof ot the clearer perspicacity, stronger
will, and superior ability of the man who
was destined afterward to become chief
of the then only dreamed of Southern Con
federacy.
These three men are still living. It is
strange that it should be so, but there are
many strange things connected with the
tremendous drama in which they played
so conspicuous a part. Their experimen
tal Confederacy was born, lived and per
ished so long ago that the American youth
of to-day know nothing of it except what
they read of in books. The South has
passed through the blood and agony of a
conflict which left the flower of its popu
lation beneath the sod, and scarred its
mountains, valleys and forests with the
tracks of plowing missiles. Abolitionism
had its way; slavery was overthrown and
ruin ran riot over the Southern land till
there was little left to destroy. Yet the
three Senators of 1860, from Mississippi,
Georgia and Virginia, have survived all
the havoc and are still above the turf be
neath which all their prominent contem
poraries lie buried. Their old abo
lition enemies are gone. Garrison,
Seward, Greeley, Chase, Giddings passed
away long ago. Even Wendell Phillips is
dead. Lincoln, the first Republican Pres
ident, has been in his bloody tomb these
nineteen years. The great Douglas sleeps
in Illinois soil, and trees twenty-two years
old grow over his grave. His Presidential
competitors in the memorable campaign
of 1860, Breckinridge and John Bell, are
asleep, too, each in the soil of his native
State. All the members of the first Re
publican Cabinet are gone but one—Simon
Cameron—and Simon Cameron was a
comparatively- obscure man in the spring
of 1860.
The Mississippi Senator of 1860 is now
76 years old; the Georgia Senator is 74;
the Virginia Senator is 75. They are not
very old men, yet there are not three other
living men in'the world who were actors
in a great historical drama who have
served as pall-bearers to such a procession
of eminent fellow-players.
ABSENT-MINDED WOMEN.
Stories Told by Chuckling Chicago Hus
bands About their Better Halves.
Chicago Xcvt.
“Speaking of absent-minded people,”
said a West-sider, “women beat the nation
at that. There is my wife, one of the
most careful and most level-headed women
in the world. But one night last winter
we went to a large party, and we both,
for special reasons, were more than anx
ious to appear well. My wife was greatly
concerned about me, as’ I am the absent
minded member ot the family, and looked
me over critically and carefully after I
left the coat room and before we went
down stairs. She was herself all right,
of course, and was superbly dressed. We
wentdown in high feather, and had passed
through the parlors and had spent a de
lightful half hour on parade duty, as it
were, when my wife suddenly turned pale
in what 1 thought was a fainting fit. I hur
ried her from the room, and was about to
turn the house upside down in search of
restoratives when she clutched my sleeve
and pointed to her feet. She had before
leaving home drawn over her shoes a pair
of my socks, and had forgotten to remove
them'. The thought that she had been
parading before three hundred people
with those socks on was too much for her.”
A South-sider, who bad listened to this,
said, after indulging in a contented little
chuckle: “My wife tells almost as good a
story as that on herself. She is, as every
body knows who knows her at all, very
particular about her dress, and she
grieves over a spot on my coat or a lack of
polish on my shoes with a grief that will
not be comforted. She went down street
shopping on one occasion this spring, and
in trying on bonnets became a little dis
turbed over the fact that none of the new
shapes suited her face. She therefore
picked up her parasol, walked out of the
store, called on a very aristocratic ac
quaintance and then came home, A
glance in the hall glass showed that she
had no bonnet on. She had taken it off to
try on the new ones, and, as she expressed
it,’ had been parading along the streets
with nothing on her head but a small veil
across her forehead. She didn’t scold me
about the spots on my coat for a week.”
“I have a better story than that,” said
a superintendent of one of the depart
ments at Field’s. "“Not long a fashiona
bly dressed lady came in early, and in the
course of her bargaining put her parasol
on the counter near a large featherduster
which one of the clerks had been using.
After making some purchases the lady
caught up the duster instead of her para
sol, and went out. As soon as I discov
ered the mistake I sent a boy after her
with the parasol, but he did not overtake
her until she had made quite a journey.
“In fact, she flourished that feather
duster along the street, flourished it about
as she went into another store, and put
it down on -the counter, still under the
impression that it was a parasol, and see
ing the feather duster, asked for her para
sol. The clerk explained that she had not
brought any parasol in, but had come in
carrying that duster. She was indignant
at such an intimation, and was deliver
ing the clerk a sharp lecture on the sub
ject when in came our l.oy with her para
sol and an explanation. She was so
overcome that she had to be sent home in
a carriage.
HON. S. S. COX ON SALT.
Its Symbolic Character—lts Relation to
Lot's Wife and Democratic Prospects.
ConqrtJmonal Record.
On Mr. Belford’s proposition to amend
the river and harbor bill by the appropri
ation of SIOO,OOO for the improvement of
Salt river, in the State of Kentucky, so
that the Democratic party might find free
and easy navigation thereon next Novem
ber, Mr. S. S. Cox, of New York, felt
moved to deliver the following:
“I rise to moralize somewhat. I desire
‘special leave’ to discuss the conservative
elements of salt as well as Salt river.
Salt river is not located in Kentucky. It
is of wider renown. It is a stream as
full of sad meaning to the politician as
the Stygian stream to the ancient Greek.
It is the route to official exile—exile to
Hades —the political Limbus Faluorum.
“The word ‘salt,’ sir, is Aryan in ori
gin. It has preserved its savor on all de
rivative tongues. Its relation to politics
is implied in the word ‘salary.’ Salt was
a legal tender among the Latins. It is
an element of the sea as well as of the
land. Its function is preservative and
purifying. It seasons our food and makes
it palatable, and our wit to make it pun
gent. It gives flavor and relish. It is an
element of health. It was the ancient
symbol of hospitality. From time Imme
morial, to be placed above the salt at the
banquet table, was regarded as the most
polite recognition of rank. Those who
were not seated near the salt-cellar, so
to speak, were regarded as servile and
mean, and were relegated to the ‘attic.’
Therefore, if one means to be self-respect
ing, it is still said, in the old parlance,
that ‘he never drinks below the salt.’
Salt is the emblem of purification. The
sea is salt over the ruins of Sodom. On
the Dead Sea’s shore the crystallized wife
of the fleeing patriarch became a pillar
of salt. How sad her lot!
“But, in its remote and liquid meaning,
the word salt implies a retiracy from
power, an exile up a stream where there
may be no patronage but much repent
ance. Hinc lacrimce’”
A Great Triumph.
As the result of long years of patient
and careful application, aided by all the
discoveries and improvements in modern
chemical appliances, the process by which
the fragrance of the richest tropical flow
ers is extracted and concentrated in Mur
ray and Lanman Florida Water has
reached a state of perfection which leaves
nothing to be desired. To distinguish the
genuine article from its numerous imita
tions look out for the “Trade Mark”
which consists ot a narrow white strip
label bearing the fac simile signature ot
Lanman & Kemp, sole proprietors.
In the absence of suitable materials or
the time to prepare it, people often go
without a dressing for salads. Buy Dur
kee’s Dressing, and you will never trouble
yourself to make another.

1 have several times examined baking powders in the market to determine their
purity, raising power and influence on the health of those using them. I have uni
formly found DR. PRICE’S CREAM BAKING POWDER fAe beat in all these respects.
I have just made another examination ol the “Royal,” “Andrews’ Pearl” and
“Dr. Price's Cream,” and the results are the same as formerly. DR. PRICE’S CREAM
is free from AMMONIA, while the “Royal” and “Andrews’ Pearl” both contain Am
monia. The final reaction of “DR. PRICE’S CREAM” is acid, while the “Royal”
and “Pearl” give an ALKALINE reaction, which LEADS to DYSPEPSIA. Price s
is a pure, clean and elegant proportion of Cream of Tartar and Bicarbonate of
Soda, and there does “in no wise enter into it anything that defileth, neither whatso
ever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie.”
In raising power “Price’s” stands at the head.
The relative amount of Carbonic Acid Gas given off by the same weight (10
grammes) of these powders, heated in the same way, is as follows:
Dr. Price’s Cream Baking Powder 650 cubic centimeters
The Royal 600 cubic centimeters
Andrews’ Pearl * M3 cubic centimeters
1 have used PRICE'S in my family for years. “Even if the price is higher
PRICE’S is always the best.”

We have them in Silk and Thread, in Jersey
style, Foster Hook and Button, in black and
in white, and every imaginable shade; also, a
full line of Silk Mitts, and have made prices
to correspond with the rest of our stock, very
very low indeed.
bear m mind that these Goods at these prices will be sold only whilst they last.
We cannot duplicate them at these prices, and as we expect a very large rush, they can’t last
very long. If you do not wish to be disappointed call early, or else do not blame us if you
find the best bargains gone.
