With all the boasted enterprise of Sew

The charge is made by London I rutti
that the English clergy receive burial fees
which are a burden to the poor, and which
they do nothing to earn. It intimates
that the clergymen are more diligent in

Jules Verne is going to write anew

Mrs. Langtry has arrived safely in Lon

Lillie Devereux Blake his announced

A Michigan minister, who is a firm be

It would be perhaps no more than just
to hold the authorities of Washington
personally responsible for the loss of life
occasioned by the falling of the l nited

has long been considered dangerous, and
should have been pulled down some
months ago.
The typographical union bulldozed the
Republican National Committee into
promising not to give any patronage to
the New York Tribune. The Tribune said
it didn’t want any patronage. The union
seems to be satisfied, and the Tribune
claims to be satisfied, and so everybody
ought happy.
A Saratoga special says that when the
great achievement of Maud S. in lower
ing the trotting record to tiiODJ* was an
nounced, and 31 r. Vanderbilt’s friends
were congratulating him, “champagne
flowed like water.” From the reputation
of the crowd the dispatch would seem to
imply that it flowed very sparingly.
The United Bakers’ Association, of
Germany, which has IT,OOO members, is to
hold a convention on Aug. 16. The motto
of the body will not be “Beware of the

be offered for the process that will secure
the largest and the lightest loaves of bread.
Gen. Grant was at Ocean Grove Satur
day, and was introduced to the preachers
as “the soldier and statesman, invincible
in war and inflexible in peace.” The lat
ter part of the tribute was more than even
this tough old soldier and Wall street
financier could stand, and he wept like a
child. He was not near as inflexible as
the conscience of the introducer.
Two very distinct rainbows attracted a
great deal of attention in this city late
yesterday afternoon. They were the sub
ject of considerable comment. “Yes,”
said the most prominent official of the
city, “I noticed that the rainbows made
their appearance just about the time that
the news was received that the Dixies
had beaten the Atlantas at Atlanta.”
The gas companies have another
dangerous rival. A New \ork man has
invented a process by which a small
metal flask of water in which is placed a
email potato and a few drops or sulphuric
acid will furnish a gas suitable for cigar
stand lights. There is danger, however,
that when the gas companies are ruined
the grocers will make a corner on pota
toes.
The “Monthly Consular Report” has
ceased to make its appearance. It is a

There are a great many good-natured
and some ill-natured jokes perpetrated
at the expense of policemen, who are
really entitled to a good deal more credit
than’they get. In Sew York Sunday a
small child fell into a pail of water and
was apparently drowned. A policeman
•who had heard a lecture on “first aid to
the injured” experimented for a half hour
by pressing the sides of the babe at mter
vels, and rubbing it with whisky, when
to bis satisfaction and the great joy of its
mother it began to breathe naturally, and
jt was soon out of danger.
The. Union Pacific Swindle.
One of the things that ought to be
brought prominently before the country
during the present campaign is the
L'nion Pacific Railway swindle. It has
no parallel in the history of the country.
It ought to be explained clearly to the
people because Republican administra
tions, by the failure of their leading mem
bers to do their duty, have permitted the
government to be cheated out of millions
of dollars. The original owners of the
Union Pacific put into it only $218,000, or
10 per cent, of 21,800 shares. The govern
ment gave the road 120 square miles of
land for every mile of road constructed.
It also loaned it bonds to the amount of
of $32,000 per mile, and authorized it to
issue first mortgage bonds to a like
amount. The original owners became di
rectors, and they contracted with them
selves under the cover of the Credit Mo
bilier to build the road. In this way they
pocketed $44,000,000. They made con
tracts which netted a profit of
from 100 to 300 per cent. When
their swindling operations began to at
tract the attention of Congress, bribery,
to hush up investigation, was resorted to,
and the Credit Alobilier scandal was the
result. In 1873 Jay Gould saw a fine
chance to reap a rich harvest.
He was a large owner in the
Kansas Pacific, which was not paying ex
penses. The l’nion Pacfic at the time was
not only paying expenses, but also large
dividends. Gould obtained a controlling
interest in the Union Pacific, consolidated
it with the Kansas Pacific, and thus made
the Kansas Pacific securities, which were
almost valueless, worth nearly par. Not
only was this done, but, in defiance of
law. $47,000,000 of indebtedness, in the
shape of bonds and stock, was issued and
pocketed by the wreckers. The govern
ment all this time was getting no inter
est on its bonds, and no hing was being
placed in the sinking fund to pay the
bonds when they should become due.
During Hayes’ administration Senators
Edmunds and Thurman, in order to bring
the Union Pacific company to terms, suc
ceeded in getting the Thurman act passed,
which provided, under heavy penalties
an absolute forfeiture of the charter if
not obeyed, that 25 per cent, of the net
earnings and the whole of the receipts
lrom government transportation on the
subsidized lines should be turned into the
sinking fund, in addition to tbeo percent,
demanded by the charter, and that no
dividend should be paid until these re
quirements were duly satisfied.
The company did not comply with this
act. It virtually ignored it. It declined
to make any payment to the government
unless certain counter claims, which it
set up, were allowed. The counter claims
had little or no foundation, and were only
intended to assist in avoiding the pay
ment of what was due the government.
What was the Atforney General doing all
this time? Nothing, absolutely nothing.
His inactivity gave ground for a suspicion
that he sympathized with the company.
His conduct was severely criticised by
leading members of Congress. The Senate
demanded, somewhat imperatively, to
know why he had not enforced the Thur
man act when it was notorious that the
company was paying dividends contrary
So the terms of the act. He replied that
he had not taken steps to indict
the directors of the company and forfeit
its charter because he did not think the
time favorable lor such steps. Of course
the Attorney General knew, as the direc
tors knew, that as the counter claims of
the company were pending in the Court
of Claims no settlement was possible for
several years. At the beginning of the
last session of Congress Senators Ed
munds and Garland took hold of the
matter with a vigor that alarmed
the directors of the company.
The Judiciary Committee of the Senate,
to which these Senators lie longed, pre
pared a report which showed that $19,000,-
000 In dividends had been paid since the
Thurman act was passed, and that not
one dollar had been paid to the govern
ment. The report not only directed the
Attorney General to proceed at once
against the directors, but also provided
that any director who received
any dividend, or voted to pay any
dividend, until there was full com
pliance with the Thurman act,
should be liable to a tine of SIO,OOO and
imprisonment forone year. This brought
the company to terms. Charles Francis
Adams, one of the directors, went to
Washington and begged for delay. He
argued that to have such a report adopted
by Congress would cause a panic in Wall
street. He plead so earnestly that a delay
was granted, with the understanding,
however, that Dillon should cease to be
President of the company and that
Gould should get out of the directory.
This understanding was carried out.
Charles Francis Adams became Presi
dent, and he, in consideration ot further
delays in making the report, paid the
amount, $718,814, claimed by the govern
ment under the Thurman act for 1883,
and also agreed that no more dividends
should be paid until the claim of the gov
ernment, amounting to $52,500,000, was
paid. In view of the fact that the earn
ing power of the road has been greatly
reduced by the construction of compet
ing lines, it is not probable that the
company will soon pay another dividend.
The entire debt of the road is stated to be
$232.000,000 —a sum suflicient to build
three such roads. Had the government
officials been thoroughly honest and com
petent the government would have had
what is due it long ago. It is hardly
probable that this is the only instance in
which the Treasury has suffered since the
Republican party got control of the
government. Is it not about time that
the people should know what the books of
the Treasury show?
The New Orleans Exposition.
The scope of the Xew Orleans Ex
position is being all the time broad
ened. If the lair meets with no mishap it
will be the grandest thing of its kind that
has ever been undertaken. The buildings
at the Philadelphia Centennial were a
surprise to all who saw them on account
of their size, but the New Orleans build
ings are much larger and in every respect
superior. They will excite the wonder of
•Northern people who have not been ac
customed to look to the South for large
enterprises. In fact, if the exposition
fulfills its promise, and there is no reason
to think that it will not, the world will
get a much more comprehensive idea of
the South, its wealth and resources, than
it has yet had. The cattle exhibit, for
which preparations are being made in the
way of suitable stalls, is certain to be a
very marked feature of the fair. The idea is
to have shown together choice specimens
of the best stock of Europe, this country,
Mexico and Central and South America.
Who can say what benefits will flow to
the republics south of us from this cattle
exhibit? Their cattle need only to be
crossed with the best grades of this coun
try to make them much more valuable
than they are. As the grazing lands of
this country become occupied for farm
ing lands South America may become a
great cattle-producing region.
The Agitation Spreading.
Our Augusta and Atlanta contempora
ries are agitating the well water question
in their respective cities. They know that
danger lurks in the wells, and they are
only doing their duty in warning the peo
ple against them. There may be those
who think that this well water
question is being given more attention
than it deserves. They don’t like reforms
of any kind which require the expendi
ture ot money. They would rather move
along in the same old rut, and, if misfor
tune comes, ease their conscience by at
tributing it to Providence instead ot their
neglect and refusal to do what the plain
est sanitary rules indicate should be done.
When little ones sicken and die their death
nine times out ot ten, perhaps, is ac
cepted as the will of Providence, when
the truth is, they were poisoned by im
pure water or by foul air from badly con
structed vaults or drains, or trom soil sat
urated with excrementitious matter.
We must expect some few little back
sets in the campaign. It is now an
nounced that “Brick” Pomeroy will soon
begin anew weekly political paper in
New York, and that he will advocate
Cleveland and Hendricks. This will set
off the influence of O’Donovan Eossa.
Campaign Romancing.
The average politician doesn’t always
speak his real sentiments with respect to
the political outlook in his State or partic
ular locality when he talks for publica
tion. If his party is really in the lead he
is, of course, glad to say so, but when he
is in doubt, or believes that the opposition
is getting the best of the fight, does he say
exactly what he thinks? By no means.
If he has some conscientious scruples, he
says little, always of course, making a
good showing for his own party; but if his
conscience isn’t at all tender, he gives his
imagination free play. In his little talk
with the interviewer facts play a very un
important part.
For instance, ex-Senator Kellogg, of
Louisiana, who is by all odds the smart
est of all the old carpet-bag crowd, told a
Chicago Tribune reporter a day or two
ago that Blaine had an .excellent chance
of carrying Louisiana —in fact, Mr. Kel
logg said the prospect was really flatter
ing. Of course Mr. Kellogg knows that
Blaine hasn’t the remotest chance ot get
ting the electoral vote of Louisiana. The
only Republican party there is in Louisi
ana is in the New Orleans custom house.
The party hasn't any organization
throughout the State, and there
is no probability that it will have,
because the leaders in the custom house
can agree upon nothing. Their whole
time is taken up in lighting each other.
About all that 3lr. Kellogg wants is to be
elected to Congress from the Third dis
trict so that be can control the patronage
of the State in the event of Blaine’s elec
tion.
However, Kellogg’s talk is only a sam
ple of the sort of twaddle that many poli
ticians of both parties talk for the benefit
of the public. They know what they say
one day will be forgotten the next, and
that their reputations for truth or for
ability to comprehend the political situa
tion will not suffer. It would be some
satisfaction If they would keep as close to
the truth as they could.
A bank cashier at Bar Harbor, Me., has
either found some of Capt. Kidd’s treas
ure or run upon some of Blaine’s hidden
campaign barrels. He began to buy real
estate rather largely some week or two
ago, and, as he was known to be a poor
man, the directors of the bank began an
investigation. His accounts were found
to be all right, but he refused to tell
where he obtained the money he had in
vested. It has now leaked out that he
found buried in the cellar of his house
five barrels of gold and silver coins. He
still keeps prudently quiet, however, and
will answer no questions, as he fears
somebody will claim the money.
The disease germs, which everybody
who owns a microscope are now engaged
in discovering, appear to be rather diffi
cult to classify. By the time the present
craxe on the subject passes away, it is
likely that the honors ot Drs. Koch and
Freire will be considerably diminished.
It is stated that extensive researches in
Barbadoes have demonstrated that there
is no difference apparently between the
microca-eus from a grave and from a gar
den. It would be a sad thing if these
great scientists should be forced to take
their positions by the side of the Chinese
doctor who believes each disease is caused
by the presence in the patient’s system of
some specific devil.
CURRENT COMMENT.
Personal Bights in Georgia.
Buffalo (,V. I'.) Sorth and South (Ind.).
No greater personal rights are granted to
immigrants in any State of the Union than in

The Friend of Labor.
Philadelphia Record {lnd.).
No one accused the Democratic party of in
gratitude or ttntriendliness toward foreign
itoru citizens in 1844 and 1854 when the Know
Nothing spirit was rampant in the country.
Those were the only two important occasions
Wi the history of the country when citizens of
foreign birth or unpopular creed needed the
defense of the Democratic party. Since then
they have been able to take pretty good care
of themselves.
A Marked Political Change.
Washington Post (Hem.).
All the power and influence of the adminis
tration were thrown in favor of Gartield in
lsso. All the departments were sections of
the political machine. It was as if the money
appropriated for carrying on the public ser
vice had been turned over to Dorsey & Cos.
This year there will lie a marked change, due
to the progress of civil service reform. It will
tend to make the election more nearly a fair
expression of public opinion and will insure
to the advantage of the Democratic party.
Improper Subjects for Discussion.
Botton Budget (Ind.).
Therefore we say that it is dangerous to our
children, who nowadays read all the news
papers that come within their way, to con
stantly call to mind in the public print* the
falls from virtue of our distinguished men.
We do not cloak villainy by hiding it from the
young. We only obscure from their view
things that they are incapable of viewing
calmly and dispassionately. No father or
mother would like to have the debaucheries
of the Roman emperors minutely set forth in
our school histories. It is better that the
young should view Ca?3ar as a great man, and
not as a great sinner.

TtfKRE seems now to be a general revival of
horse-thieving. Randall Keen passed through
Miles City, going west to Billings, the other

while he was in the act of scanning with a

and a little to the right a shot was fired from

glass, shattering it to atoms. It came near
killing the holder.
A very strange and pamful death was re

descent but rendering her helpless. In this
IKtsition, about ten feet from safety, she
starved to death, her position being unsus

A band of the Pope's enemies took food

Sunday, and then entered town through the
Angel’c gate, within a stone’s throw of the
Vatican. On seeing the policemen and sol

band of fire-eaters shouted: “Spies, assassins,
death, away with them!” and set to work
caning them and stripping off their cockades
and epaulettes, but were finally arrested and
imprisoned. Such rows are frequent in the

It was believed the other day that a skull
found among the curiosities of Dentre, the
late publisher of Paris, was that of Cardinal
Richelieu, but inquiry proves this to be an
error. When the tomb was desecrated in 1793
a hosier named Cheval, taking advantage of
the temporary absence of the workmen, ran
off with the Cardinal’s skull, which he sub
sequently gave to a friend named Armaz. in
whose family it remained until 1866, when, at
the urgent solicitation of the government, he
gave it up, and by order of Napoleon 111. it
was reinterred at the Sorboune. A cast was
taken by an eminent moulder.
A number of the British nobility are en

mysteries of butter-making. Lord Fitzhard
iDge’s heme farm and dairv at Sudbnry are
said to be conducted on the most approved
methods; everything is on a large scale, 2,500
gallons of milk being used daily. Halleck

A curious observer at Saratoga says that
in a store he stood near to a girl who was ex
amining several pieces of light pink satin.
She had pushed up the sleeve of her dress
somewhat, and was laying the fabrics, one
after another, across the exp-sed part of her
arm. "This is a match now,” she remarked
to her companion, ‘-but it’s rather cool this
morning, and I'm afraid it wouldn’t do in
case the weather should turn hot. I get aw
fully pink, don’t you know?” She was se
lecting a material to put under the lace at
the neck of her bodice, and her desire was to
have it the exact hue of her complexion. But
her own shade, unlike that of the satin, va
ried with the temperature, aril so was raised
a complication which puzzled her. She
solved the problem by taking two shades of
the cloth, thus preparing herself for the rud
diness of a torrid occasion and the pallor of a
cool day.

SOUTHEASTERN GEORGIA.
Some of the Advantages of that Region
for Business and Immigrants.
Correspondence of the Morning Menus.
Folkston, Aug. 5. —In the whole of
Southeastern Georgia there is no place
that has made more progress in so short
a space of time than Folkston, Charlton
county. It certainly cannot compete with
those mushroom towns of Colorado or
the great Northwest, for as far as our
knowledge goes no large silver or gold
mines have been found in its vicinity, and
though we meet men bearded and tanned
they certainly are not miners, for they
have no top boots on, neither do they
carry dirks or pistols in their belts as the
regulation miner does.
On making inquiries into this evident
prosperity we found the causes were in
ternal, for though Folkston was not in
existence until the Savannah, Florida
and Western Railway made a station here,
this led the energetic men of the
district from Charlton, Camden and from
Nassau, Fla., to Folkston, for they at
once saw this was to be the business cen
tre of this part ot the country. In conse
quence of this knowledge we find that
Centre V’llasre, which was one of the
most important settlements, having a
stasre pass through it daily and having a
flourishing population—being, in fact, the
place where the foundations of the for
tunes were laid of more than on% large
mercantile house in Savannah with a
business reputation now world-wide, is
now entirely deserted. Looking over this
village of the days gone by with one of
the “old inhabitants,” who points out to
us the stores once occupied by men who
now stand in the foremost rank in com
mercial circles, reminds us forcibly of
Gibbons’ “Decline and Fall of the
Roman Empire,” on a small scale.
Centre Village has seen its day, the
Roman Empire has seen its day, both are
now things ot the past, and though to the
general reader the history of Rome is of
far more importance than the history of a
place that was not thought of long after
Rome had passed the zenith of its glory,
yet the “old inhabitants” love to dwell on
its history, surrounding it with all the
halo of a sacred past.
In this age of progress, this never ceas
ing struggle for existence, we have very
little time for sentiment—too hard and too
real is our battle with the world—so we
must “let the dead past bury its dead,”
and act in the living present.
On our last visit to Folkston we found
many improvements and many more being
talked about. 3len of capital and busi
ness standing have taken up their resi
dence there. We were asked to
go over and see a large house,
built very similar to the houses we have
seen in our Northern towns, and we
were not surprised to hear that 3lr.
Frank Chase was the architect and
builder, a young man from Boston, Mass.
Thfs house was erected for Mr. 1.. L.
Bedell, and it certainly is the finest bouse
anywhere around. It was our good for
tune to see the energetic proprietor, who
took great pleasure in showing us over
his recent acquisition, pointing out all
the conveniences of bis establishment.
We were on the point of sympathizing
with Mr. Bedell on having no bird to oc
cupy so elegant a.cage, when he told us
how much he reckoned it would cost him
to furnish his house, which he intended to
be in keeping with the rest, for, said he.
“a bridal suite must be a nice one. We
agreed with the gentleman, who said he
expected to go to Savannah soon, and we
guess he will be looking round some of
the furniture stores. Mr. Bedell values
his house at $2,000. There was to
be a ball, got up as a pre
liminary bouse warming, by the young
men of Folkston, to which we had a cor
dial invitation, but unfortunately we felt
unable to stay. On leaving Mr. Bedell
the first place we came to was the mill
owned by the Chase Bros. These ener
getic young men have lately started their
mill and they assure us they are prosper
ing beyond their expectation. Their
mill is for small work. At the time we
were there they were making fruit crates,
of which they have made over one thou
sand this season, some of which they
have shipped, but the greater part has
been used by the local fruit-growers. We
had a long talk with the “boys,” who it
appears came from the North in 1881, and
never intend to live there again, so satis
fied are they with the South.
They take great interest in Folkston,
and in fact the whole of Georgia. We
learn from them that 31r. Newton Roden
berry had brought some new corn to their
mill to be ground on July to. This is the
first we have heard of. Their grist mill
is a great convenience to the district, for
they grind any day, and the farmers can
have their grist as fine or as coarse as
they like. 3lr. D. C. Chase, the father of
the “boys,” is a jovial old gentleman,
with whom we had a long talk. He in
formed us he prefers farming, but until
his boys get a fair start, he intends to
help them.
The new mill of Upton & Dial at Span
ish creek is a great convenience to them,
for they ean have their lumber sawed to
a convenient size for handling, and then
dress it themselves. By this means they
can get out anything in the way of lum
ber for building, they having a very good
shiijgle machine on which they have got
out a good stock of shingles.
We went across the track at this point
to Mr. J. W. Leigh’s store. This store
has not been built long, but 3lr. Leigh
finds his business increasing so last that
he has engaged the “Chase boys” to en
large it for him. This gentleman, besides
his store, runs a large farm not far from
the St. Alary’s river, but so energetic is
he that he is about to clear a track in
Folkstofi for a truck farm.
He says after the experience he has had
this season of supplying the Jacksonville
market, he knows truck farming will pay.
This gentleman has been taking all the
peaches he could get in these parts and
shipping them to Savannah and Jackson
ville. This has proved a good thing for
the farmers who last year scarcely could
sell any. There are four other gentlemen
besides Mr. Leigh engaged in the fruit
shipping business. Messrs. John Bach
lott, John Boynton, Brown and L. W.
Hobbs. We learned from 31r. Brown, the
obliging agent of the Southern Express
Company, that 932 fruit crates had been
shipped up to that date, July 26.
We read every week in the Savannah
Weekly News of the many inducements
offered to men of energy and sense in our
sister State, Florida; but wo will venture
to say that in no part of Florida are there
better chances for this type of men, all
things being equal, than in Southeastern
Georgia. Our country farms and fields
respond gladly and bring forth abundantly
when proper care is taken of them. Anil
where, we would ask, can you find a
country more healthy ? We are notable
to bring oranges to the same perfection as
they can south, but there are other things
we can beat them in, and the healthiness
of our climate to a man who expects to
rear a family is not the least. There are
plenty of avenues open for men of capital,
pnd men of small capital and largs fami
lies might do much worse and not much
better than come to Charlton county,
where the advantages are solid and good.
THE POP-CORN TRADE.
Extent of the Business in the United
States—Cure for Dyspepsia—Macaroni’s
Rival.
The high price of corn, says the New
York Mail anti Express, hint somewhat
discouraged the of pop
corn, who are compelled increased
money for their product whtre disposing
of their goods at almost the same figures
as obtained when corn was low. One
manufacturer in New York manufactures
as high as 70,000 pounds of pop-corn a
year. He has now on hand a single con
tract for shipping 1,000 barrels to London.
Shipments are made regularly to Hayti,
France, Breslau, Berlin, Japan, China
and Italy. The Italians prefer it to mac
aroni and are heavy consumers of pop
corn.
“Many physicians,” said the pop-corn
man, “are recommending their patients
to use pop-corn as a cure for dyspepsia.
Several parties who are passing the sum
mer in the Catskills have shipped a quan
tity by direction of their medical adviser,
and now go about munching it at all hours
of-the day. It is easy to carry it about.
Ladies can carry it in their dress pockets
and gentlemen can put it in their coat
tail pockets. No danger of soiling any
thing, you know. Children all like it
and cry for more. It is far preferable to
molasses and other candy.”
All the manufacturers of pop-corn have
grown rich. There are but nine in New
York. Newark, Jersey City, San Fran
cisco and Chicago all have one. There is
one in Quebec, Montreal and Toronto.
Two men in Lowell, Mass., made inde
pendent fortunes in the business. One in
Springfield, Mass., distinguished himself
in the same manner. Pop-corn was first
made in this country in 1849.
Tomahawk Punch.
St. James Gazette.
Among the curious recipes which were
given by Mr. Vivian Grey to the Mar
quess of" Carabass was one for the compo
sition of Tomahawk punch. To two bot
tles of still champagne one pint of curacao
was to be added. The aroma of one pound
of green tea was then to be “caught” by
some mysterious and unexplained pro
cess, and the mixture, after having been
dashed with Glenlivat, was to be iced.
Tomahawk punch is scarcely suitable
for consumption during hot weather.
Something a trifle less potent is required
for use at picnics and garden parties; and
although sherry cobblers, mint juleps,
lemonade and bitter beer, and even the
vulgar shandygaff, are all excellent bev
erages, there are no summer drinks that
are more generally welcome than those
refreshing brews which are known as
cups.
CLEVELAND HAS THE CHARM.
What a Graveyard Babbit’s Foot Is Ex
pected to do for Him.
Eufaula, Ala., Aug. 4.—On July 4
the Eufaula Daily Mail contained the fol
lowing editorial under the head ol
“Wanted—A Graveyard Rabbit Foot.”
“The Mail wants the left hind foot of a
graveyard rabbit, which will be appropri
ately mounted and inscribed, and sent to
Mr. Tilden, or the nominee of the Demo
cratic party. The potent influence of the
rabbit foot is too well known to need com
ment or commendation from U 9. Any
person having a specimen foot will please
hurry with it to this office, so that we can
get it to Chicago in time for the conven
tion ; and then we will see how the col
ored vote of the South and the poker play
ing white Republican vote of the North
will flock to the possessor of the rabbit
foot. This shall be known as the Rabbit
Foot Campaign, and confusion to the
bolters and conspirators in all parties.
The rabbit foot will win !”
On July 10 an express package from
Atlanta addressed to the editor was
opened and found to contain a rabbit foot
and the following note:
I saw in your paper that you wanted a
graveyard rabbit root, and for that reason I
send you one. I am ju-t back from St. Joseph,
Mo., and this is Ihe left hind foot of a rabbit
l shot on the grave of Jesse James. Respect
fully, Jim Hemphill. Texas,
On this the Mail said: The man with
the rabbit foot w ill be invincible, and the
rabbit foot campaign shall be memorable
in the history of the republic. Selah!
The foot was handsomely mounted in
solid silver by Mr. J. H. Whitlock, the
local jeweler. Mr. George W. Whitlock
doing the designing and engraving; all of
which patriotism made a labor of love.
The foot was mounted to wear as a watch
charm, and bore on one side the inscrip
tion:
To Our Next President.
“A Talisman of Victory.”
On the reverse side:
“Ecfaui.a D Aii-y Mail,
“Eufaula, Ala., July, ISS4.”
• *
The Southern Express Company, Mr.L.
H. Sneed, agent, received and forwarded
the foot to Gov. Cleveland at Albany, N.
Y., free of charge. A history of the rabbit
foot and its traditions accompanied it,
and in due time came the acknowledg
ment of its receipt in the following, ad
dressed to the proprietor of the Mail:
Executive Mansion, )
Albany. N. Y., July 2fi, 1884.|
IF. R. McKenzie, Ssq .: Dear Sir—l have
received to-day the rabbit foot sent me by the
Daily Mail, an'd have read the history of the
same, w hich accompanied it. I thank you for
the gift, and am ready to confess that such a
thing w ith such a history ought to accomplish
great results. Yours sincerely,
Grover Cleveland.
This letter is highly prized by its re
cipient, and has been duly framed as a
cherished souvenir, and occupies a con
spicuous place in 3lr. McKenzie’s parlor.
The idea of the rabbit foot and the edi
torial originated with Mr. M. M. Brannan
(Doc Adams), the then editor of the Mail,
who bears some reputation as a humorist.
The efficacy of the rabbit foot is well
known to the" sporting fraternity the land
over, but few of our Northern brethren
know the veneration and superstitious
awe in which it is held by the average
plantation negro of the South. With a
rabbit foot—the left hind foot of a grave
yard rabbit, such as Gov. Cleveland has
—a little “stump water” (rain water held
in the top of a pine stump hollowed out by
decay), a few beads, a rattlesnake’s rat
tle and a small pouch of assafcedita the
voodo doctor is made, and he is all potent
with his patients. The rabbit foot', how
ever, independently of the other accesso
ries, is held in great reverence as possess
ing mysterious power for good to the owner
and evil to his enemies; hence, however
frivolous it may appear to the scientific
mind, so to discriminate, the negro is not
so abandoned to civilisation and Chris
tianity as to vote against a man, or work
against him, or play f gainst him (should
gambling be engaged in) when it is
known “flat he totes er rabbit foot.” This
fact need only be got well before many of
the Southern negroes to defy even money
to purchase their votes; and it is equally
useless to attempt to seduce your genuine
sporting man to buck against a man who
carries a rabbit foot; and, with this
knowledge of the superstition attaching
to it, the foot was procured for Gov.
Cleveland.

Chemists of the nation charge the Boyal Baking Powder Company
with the use of the powerful drug AMMONIA in their Powder; that
no article ot food should be tainted by this unsafe drug; that it is un
fit for appearance in any human diet; that its long continued use in
any form will derange the blood; that it is only found in the aatural
food and drink of man as an accidental impurity.
That NATURE ABHORS and expels it as an excrement.
That in a Baking Powder it has not even the virtue of necessity.
If the charge is unjust, would It not be an act of justice to them
selves, as well as a polite concession to a deeply interested public
sentiment, to answer the charge? To answer immediately? To an
swer honestly ? Oily evasion won’t do. Oily dignity, oily plausi
bility, oily non-committal won’t do. Ridicule won’t do. Come for
ward in a manly way and give the public evidence that justifies its
use.

“I find PRICE’S CREAM BAKING POWDER a WHOLESOME and
STRONG combination of PUKE MATERIALS, entirely free from AM
MONIA, which is contained in almost all other Baking Powders, including

of this unnecessary substance.’' 8

Every housewife can try the “Royal,” or any brand of
