The fact than Francis Murphy, the

The Soldiers’ Home at Dayton. Ohio, is

There is a great deal more profit in dig

Detroit, a famous summer resort away
up in Michigan, had a death rate last
week ot 3D.4 per 1,000 inhabitants. This
is the heaviest death rate of any city in
the Union. It appears from the papers
that the city authorities are too busy with
politics and junketing excursions to pay
much attention to the sanitary interests
of the community.
Murat Halstead, editor of the Cincin
nati Commercial Gazette, is nothing if not
sensational. He says: “We do not think
Cleveland will withdraw. He is too
much of a bull for that.” No, he will not
withdraw until he completes his contract,
which is to beat Blaine and rolorm the
govei nrnent at Washington. Cleveland’s
record is not in favor of withdrawing. In
all the races in which he has taken part
he has won.

Thc Tariff Policy of thc Democratic
Party.
Our esteemed contemporary, the Tele
graph and M-.-scngcr, in an aitiule bear
ing upon the tariff question, says: “The
time has come when the South should dic
tate the policy of the Democratic party.”
Our esteemed contemporary, we under
stand, refers to the poliey of the party
with respect to the tariff. To the average
observer of events it looks as if the South
had about as much to do with shaping the
tarid poliey ot the party as any other
section. Indeed, a glance at the vote on
the motion to strike out the enacting
clause of the Morrison bill would seem to
justify the conclusion that it has had a little
more to do with shaping!! than any other
section. The Southern Representatives
voted almost solidly against killing the
bill. There is no doubt that Southern senti
ment shapes the tariff' policy of the Demo
cratic party, and that it shapes it in the
direction of reform and reduction, it we
are not mistaken, however, our esteemed
contemporary means that the time has
come when the South should direct the
tariff' policy of the Democratic party to
wards protection. That is quite another
question. We do not think that our
esteemed contemporary will have the
pleasure soon of seeing the Democratic
parly of the ikmth demanding the con
tinuance of a high protective tarilV. The
people understand their interests too well
to demand anything of that sort. Why.i
with her great sugar interests there was
only one member of the Louisiana delega
tion who voted against the Morrison bill.
What is the situation here in Georgia?
All of the Georgia Representatives ex
cept one are tariff reformers and want the
tariff reduced. The people want a reduc
tion of the tariff, and are sustaining those
of their Representatives who supported
the Morrison bill. Notwithstanding the
protests of our esteemed Atlanta contem
porary, the people of the Fifth district
have decided to return Representative
Hammond. Our esteemed Augusta con
temporary has certainly about as much
to say in favor of the protective system
as any other paper in the country, and
says it about as strongly, but there is no
doubt that Representative Reese will be
renominated. Of course no one doubts
the ability of the protection arguments of
our esteemed Macon contemporary, but
will not Representative Blount, one of the
ablest advocates of the Morrison bill, be
renominated and re-elected? Of course
he will. Our contemporaries may talk
about the beauties of the protective sys
tem until they are tired, but they will not
convince the people of Georgia that their
interest require them to sustain a tariff
that builds up monopolies and widens the
gap between the rich and the poor.
Notice what took place in this district.
The only Georgia Representative who
opposed the Morrison bill was from this
district, and liis name was not before the
Congressional Convention for renomina
tion. -A candidate was nominated who
stands squarely* on the National Demo
cratic platform, and who will le found
acting at all times with his party and not
with a small faction of it. It is worthy
of notice that the News voices the senti
ment of Georgia on the tariff question so
accurately. The sentiment of Georgia
is the sentiment of the South, and it
is getting to be the sentiment of
the West. Why, even Mr. Converse,
of Ohio, who moved to strike out
the enacting clause of the Morrison
bill, as able a Democrat as he is,
failed to get a renomination. His pun
ishment lor failing to stand by his party
at a time when it greatly needed his help
was severe, but not too severe. If the
Telegraph and Messenger , instead of say
ing that the South “should dictate,” had
said “is dictating” the tariff policy of the
Democratic party, it would have come
nearer hitting the uail on the head.
Uniting Cleveland.
It is not known what John Kelly is
doing in a political way, but it is pretty
certain that the New York Sun is knifing
Cleveland. “We hold,” says the Sun,
“that Grover Cleveland is not fitted to be
President, and that he has done nothing
to merit such promotion.” Whether he
is fitted or not is a question on which
there may lie a reasonable difference of
opinion. His public acts as Governor of
the great State of New York show him to
be a man of ability and judgment. Of
course the Sun bases its opinion of Cleve
land's fitness upon its estimate ol his
ability, and not upon the scandals that
are in circulation. It distinctly says that
it refuses to undertake to make ar.y in
vestigation of the scandalous rumors.
This statement justifies the conclusion
that it knows nothing derogatory to
Cleveland’s moral character.
Of course, Cleveland “has done nothing
to merit such promotion.” The Demo
cratic party, however, didn’t nominate
him to reward him for something he had
done, and the people will not vote for him
on the ground that he has merited promo
tion and ought to be rewarded. lie has no
claims on the party or on the country, and
he doesn't pretend to have. He was nom
inated, first, because it was thought he
was the most available man that could
selected, and, second, because it was
thought that he would make a good Presi
dent. It the effort had been to nominate
a man who merited promotion, Cleve
land would not have been selected. Bay
ard, or Thurman, or some other one who
has long been prominent as a party
leader would have been chosen.
Thc New Orleans Quarantine.
New Orleans is unhappy because her
forty-days quarantine system promises
to lose her some trade. The steamers of
the Harrison line, for instance, which ply
between New Orleans and Liverpool, no
1 longer go up to the city of New Orleans.
These steamers, because they touch at
West Indian and Mexican ports, are sub
jected to the forty days quarantine. They
take their cargoes of grain at the quaran
tine station. The wheat and corn barges
from St. Louis, instead of stopping at
New Orleans, go forty miles below to the
station and transfer their cargoes to the
steamers. Probably the city will not
lose 1100,000 the whole season
on aeeount of the quarantine, but
the few merchants who are interested
will not rest easy until the quarantine is
practically abolished. They will make so
much noise that New Orleans people will
get the impression that the quarantine is
depriving them of millions of dollars an
nually. This isn’t the first time that New
Orleans has had a strict quarantine, but
it is the first time that it has been sup
ported so long by popular sentiment. It
is noticeable that when the quarantine
was strict the city was free from yellow
fever. There hasn’t been any fever there
worth speaking of for six years. Let the
quarantine be removed, however, and it
will lie surprising if the fever does not
make its appearance very soon after
wards. One season of fever like that of
1878 would hurt the city more than the
South American trade would amount to
in twenty years.
The breaking of the shafts ot thc great
Atlantic steamers is liecoming a frequent
source of danger and delay, and ship com
panies as well as travelers will soon de
mand some material for shafts, or mode of
manufacture, that will render such acci
dents all but impossible. Passengers fre
quently experience much loss by delay in
crossing the ocean, not to speak of the
annoyance, and may after awhile decide
to patronize only those lines which guar,
antee to complete the voyage within a cer
tain time.
Gen. Grant’s “name and influence” ap
pear to be pretty good for literary as well
as banking capital, as be is to receive, it
is stated, *IO,OOO for the series of eighteen
or twenty articles which be is writing for

with the General’s literary capabilities
will naturally suppose that he will need
in this business a shrewd, iFnot a con
scienceless, partner. Perhaps Gen.
Adam Badeau might be called upon ior a
little help in the matter.
The hop growers in New York State
are discouraged, as it is not believed that
over two-thirds of a crop will be obtained.
In the meantime the brewers are happy
for it doesn’t make much difference with
them whether they get any hops or not.
The people will have beer of some sort,
and the brewers will make it bitter with
tan bark if they can’t get anything better.
Arthur and His Vacation.
President Arthur appears to be having
a very pleasant time visiting friends in
New York State, lie is much happier,
I>erhaps, than if he were the Presidential
candidate of his party, and the question
whether or not he was born in this coun
try was being discussed. All things con
sidered, however, it might have been bet
ter for the Republican party if it had
nominated him. The Republican papers
now and then contain paragraphs that
are very complimentary to Mr. Ar
thur. Some of them hiut that it
would have been a wise thing to have
nominated him. The fact is, Blaine's
•record takes all the pai ty enthusiasm out
ol decent Republicans. That record is
written by Blaine himself over his own
signature, and there is, therefore, no de
nying it. It goes against the grain for
honest men to support a man for the first
office in the gilt of the people who, when
holding the third office of import
ance, proved recreant to his trust.
It is not to lie wondered
at that, under the circumstances,
Republicans who have respect for honesty
and honest methods should sigh for Mr.
Arthur. The President may not be a
great man, but he has shown himself
equal to the duties of his office, and he has
kept his administration free from scan
dals. lie doesn't, however, exactly suit
the men who are now managing the Re
publican party. They are willing to in
dorse his administration, but if he had
been nominated they wouldn’t have gotten
along with him as well as they do with
Blaine. It is probable that the campaign
would have been conducted ill an entirely
different manner.
The announcement of the annual meeting
of the Georgia Bar Association at Atlanta on
the 13th and llth instant, the programme of
which aiqiears in another column, shows that
the bar of tlie State have adopted the prevail
ing idea that an organization among men pur
suing any line of business will be mutually
helpful, and promote the welfare of its mem
bers and the interests of their vocation. Ag
riculturists, editors, business men of every
sort have long since acted upon this policy.
So far from being unexpected, the only won
der is that at the meeting for organization of
the Bar Association, Gen. Lawton should
have been able to sav iaa he is
reported in the proceedings for organization to
have said) that “it had come to his knowledge
as President of the American Bar Association
that Georgia was the only one of the original
thirteen States, and one of the few States in
the union, which was without such au organ
ization.”
Among the members of the Savannah bar
who are connected oilicially with the associ
ation are George A. Mercer, V ice President;
A. R. Lawton, Chairman, and VV. S. Chis
holm andS. B. Adams, members of the lead
ing Committee on Jurisprudence and Law
Reform.
The American Bar Association has been in
prosperous operation for the past six years.
Georgia lawyers have been active in it and
have l>een honored by the highest trusts
within its gift. Outside of its social features,
and that line of work which may
be supposed to have been inspired by
the self-interest of the profession in
raising the standard for admission to its
ranks, this national body is doing earnest
work in the cause of law reform. It has taken
hold of the subject of the relief of the Su
preme Court. The justification of a move
ment on tlie part of the non-political lawyers
in behalf of this subject is abundantly fur
nished by the fact that although lawyers have
been in the majority of every Congress for the
last ten years, they have suffered, without any
attempt at a remedy, the Supreme Court to
remain hopeiessly clogged with a docket
which contains more eases than could be dis
posed ol in ten years, even if there
were 110 new cases. The National
Association is also endeavoring gradually
to bring about greater uniformity in the leg
islation of the several States on those subjects
which are mere matters of convention and do
not involve questions upon which tlie systems
of the State laws will differ on account of dif
ferences in the character, condition and po
litical economy of their people. In the mode
of executing depositions, of taking acknowl
edgments of deeds, etc., there is no reason
why the law of every State should not be the
same, thus avoiding the confusion now exist
ing from the fact that in every State they are
different. To carry out this purpose of se
curing uniformity, it is obvious that a Bar
Association in each State is an indispensable
auxiliary.
The scheme of the Georgia Association,
judged by its constitution, the duties imposed
upon its standing committees, the nature of
its programme for its annual meetings, is one
which must commend itself to every lawyer
and which will warrant the public in expect
ing that the benefits of the organization will
be felt in the administration of the law. Sub
jects of highest importance to the bar and tho
public will be handled iu its convocations;
the addresses, essays, reports, and discussions
caused thereby will be published and dis
tributed. Commanding and exercising these
means of influence, it is plain that the asso
ciation, if properly managed, will become a
power in the State for good.
CURRENT COMMENT.
Tlie Happiest Hours.
Detroit Free Preen (Dem .).
The happiest hours of a Presidential term
come ill the last year when the incumbent has
not been renominated. A year ago President
Arthur’s trip on a government vessel excited
severe criticism. To-dav he might lash the
entire navy together and take a pleasure trip
without attracting much attention.
A Patriotic Suggestion,
Philadelphia Ledger (/mi.).
The campaign committees, instead of wast
ing their money on tin battle axes, wooden
cleavers and brass bands, might do more good
with their money by subscribing liberally to
the erection of the pedestal for the statue of
Liberty. This is a patriotic work, and the
pedestal might make a solid “platform” for
some future party.

It was this same gavel that rapped the
Speaker’s desk and called the page who wits

tion which saved the land grant for the Little
Rock Railroad, so touchingly alluded to by
Mr. Blaiirt* in his letter to W. Fisher, Esq., of
India street, Boston, Oct. 4, I*o9. That gavel
is associated with much that is disgraceful in
American legislation. It is almost as infa
mous as the pen that wrote the Mulligan let
ters.

some coiiies to the frequenters of the estab

and the waiters of the cafe with one accord
set upon the rash intruder and severely
punished him.

Is East Great Plain. Conn., is the coolest
beehive in the country. It is nearly the whole

bee flew one Sunday afternoon last spring.
He was gone several minutes. Then he buzzed
out and flew off to the woods. He came hack
in a day or two with the whole wild swarm.
They filed juto the hole, one after the other,
took possession, and have been busy making
honey since. Out and in they fly daily, high
above the workmen's beads, ana often cluster
in thick bunches around the knothole. The

While they thought no one knew it.

The yearly Gubernatorial election in the
United "States is likely to result in a victory
lor the Whigs. The Federalists, under thc
leadership oi Mr. Blaine, who was recently
nominated for Mayor of Chicago, are hopeful
of success. This now distinguished party
leader was brought from the Sandwich Islands
by Mr. Itarnum, and exhibited as the tattooed
man. Having learned someting of American
politics while traveling around the provinces
lie abandoned the show business and devoted
himself to the work of writing a book. The
advance proof sheets showed such insight that
lie was at once taken from bis lowly condition
and placed prominently before the people.

His under lip was not as prominent as was

State Politics.
Sandersvillc correspondence of Morning
News. Aug. 5: There was an unusually large
attendance upon thc Democratic County Con
vention to-day and thc utmost good feeling
and harmony prevailed throughout the entire
proceedings. Rev. J. J. Hyman was made
Chairman of the convention and Frank If.
Saffold aud It. Alex. Evans Secretaries. The
Presidential nominees, Cleveland and Hen
ricks, were indorsed. Delegates to the State
and Senatorial conventions wire chosen as
follows: To the State Convention—ll. N. Hol
lifield, J. C. Harman, J. N. Gilmore, O. H.
Rogers, 1L C. Harris, W. J. Hen
derson, J. T. Youngblood, C. G. Rawlings.
To; Senatorial Convention— J.C. Duggan, W.
li. Francis, S. G. Jordan, J. J. Ilyman, M. G.
11a tell, George Gilmore, John D. Hall, J. L.
Garner. A set of resolutions was intro
duced by Hon. John N. Gilmore and ably sec
onded liy Hon. Mark Newman, indorsing Gov.
McDaniel, Secretary Barnett and Attorney-
General Anderson for re-election to their re
spective offices, ami urging thc claims of Rob
ert C. Hardeman as a candidate for Treas
urer. Passed without a dissenting Toice.
Hon. John C. Harman, of Tennillc, intro
duced and moved the adoption of a resolution
providing for a primary election to nominate
candidates for Representatives to be held on
Aug. 27. Unanimously adopted.
Waynesboro correspondence of the Morn
ing New*, Aug. U: On yesterday the contest
for the Senator from the Seventeenth Sena
torial district culminated by the convention
of delegates from each militia district select
ing Judge T. J. McElmurray, our present
Ordinary, as thc choice of Burke county, by
a vote of 41 to 7. When the convention con
vened, Mr. G.O. Warnock, of Munncrlyn,
arose and withdrew the name of Dr. E. A.
Perkins as a candidate for Senator amid
much applause. Mr. Herschel Perkins nomi
nated a set of delegates in opposition to those
presented by Col. J. J. Jones, tin?latter dele
gates being’proposed as delegates to Millen,
Ga., and to be instructed for McElmurray.
The result was as stated—4l in favor of Judge
McElmurray and 7 against him. Mr. Her
schel Perkins made a rousing and spirited
speech against the system of selecting dele
gates by each precinct balloting for
three delegates each. He claimed that
as unfair, and that the popular vote
should have been taken by a primary elec
tion. Judge J. B. Jones, of Herndon, offered
a series of resolutions indorsing Gov. H. D.
McDaniel and other State House officers, aud
Hon. Robert Hardeman as State Treasurer.
This met with some opposition only so far as
the Treasurer was concerned, and finally
ended by the withdrawal of all the resolu
tions, and our delegates go to Atlanta on the
33th instant uninstructed. The county was
well represented from each militia district by
the most’intelligent and upright citizens.
Judge McElmurray may well be proud of the
honor conferred upon him by Burke, and his
election is certain, for ScriVen and Bulloch
counties always cast a solid Democratic vote
for the nominee presented under the rotation
system, this being Burke’s time to present a
candidsteffor Senator. Judge McElmurray is
a pure and conscientious gentleman, and his
district will be represented with ability and
distinction.
FUNDS NEEDED AND WHERE.
Postmaster General Gresham's Visit to
Indiana —The Finance Committee’s
Device.
Washington, Aug. 4.—Postmaster
General Gresham, says a special, re
turned to his desk to-day aftera visit to
Indiana. The Judge talks frankly of the
condition of political affairs in Indiana,
and, though he says nothing that will give
the Democrats downright consolation, at
the same time he indulges in no exagger
ated talk that will furnish encouragement
to anybody at the expense of the truth.
From w hat his friends tell him the num
ber of Prohibitionists in Indiana who may
be expected to support their own ticket
this fall will probably be 3.000, and possi
bly 5,000. They have their own organiza
tion this year, and go into the canvass in
more effective shape than ever before,
probably, in their history in that State.
The vote which they will cast will all be
drawn practically from the Republican
party, for the lowest estimate shows that
six out of eight of this Prohibition band
are Republicans, while the highest places
the proportion at nine out of ten.
Enough is gradually becoming known
to demonstrate to any careful, unpreju
diced observer that Indiana is so exceeds
ingly doubtful this year from a Republi
can standpoint that only thc most extra
ordinary exertions can save it. Indeed,
it is said that the Elkins management,
realizing the fact, will distribute little or
no “soap” among its citizens, but will
rather devote its energies to the shipment
and distribution of vast quantities of the
stuff into West Virginia. Mr. Elkins is
credited with having crowned with a tre
mendously pious oath the declaration that
Blaine must and would carry West Vir
ginia. To quote Mr. Elkins’ reputed lan
guage: “The carrying of West Virginia
is a question of finance.”
The Finance Committee of the National
Republican Committee, which has been
deputed to levy upon the department
clerks, already shows a disposition to vio
late the letter of the civil service law, as
it certainly has its spirit. The law pro
hibits the soliciting of such campaign
funds upon government property or, to be
more explicit, in government buildings,
it was announced with some parade be
fore the committee located here that its
circulars would be sent to the residences
of the clerks instead of as formerly to
their desks in the departments. This, it
was claimed, would relieve the committee
of any charge of violating the law. The
device which has superseded this plausi
ble method of reaching clerks lias been
applied in a number of cases already.
The circular, for instance, will be
addressed to John Doe, Treasury Depart
ment, Washington, D. C. The name of
the department is written in great big let-'
ters, and then, in a very fine hand, on a
line between the name ot the department
and of the city, is written the place of his
residence. Curiously enough, the circu
lars find their way to the department and
not to the private residence. The com
mittee can, therefore, very frankly say
that it is not its fault if the letter carrier
deposits the circulars in the goverment
building. The committee expects that
receipts will flow in with something like
regularity and quantity about the 15th of
the month. Then a big harvest is ex
pected. l>r. A. Adams, who superintends
tho immediate process by which the
clerks are hied, offers to bet that 75 per
cent, of the clerks will contribute. Some
may curse and damn, he says, and de
clare that they won’t give a cent, but
they all come down among the first.
LETTER FROM GEN. R. F. BUTLER
lie Softens the Asperities of Politic*
with Poetry.
New York Sun.
My Dear Mr. Editor: I find in to-day’s
Sun the following:
“TOM MOORK W ROTE IT.”
•‘7b the Kditor of the Sun: SlK.—Who wrote
the poem beginning:
“‘O ever thus from childhood’s hour,
I’ve seen my fondest hopes decay?’
“Constant.”
Will you please tell me what poem Tom
Moore ever began with those lines? In
the middle of a* sentence in “Lalla Kookli”
1 find:
“ ’Tis bright, ’twasheavenly; but ’tispast?
<). ever thus, from childhood’s hour,
I've seen my fondest hopes decay;
I never loved a tree or flower
But ’twas the first to fade away;
I never nursed a dear gazelle
To glad me with its soft dark eye.
But when it came to mow me well,
Ami love me it was sure to die!”
But who wrote this parody?
“I uever had a bit of toast,
However good and wide;
But it always fell on thc sanded floor.
And on the buttered side!”
“Even the great Homer nods!”
It is permissible to soften tho asperi
ties of politics with literature. Very
truly your friend and servant,
Lowell. July SO. Benm. F. Butler.
We think Gen. Butler nods a little in
his parody quotation. The second line
does not begin with the word “however.”
The line should read:
“Particularly good and wide.”
Henry Clay and Tom Marshall.
Lexington Letter to St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
All old Lexingtonians speak of this
power of putting things which Mr. Clay
possessed, but they say it was something
to be felt and not to be imitated or descibed.
Illustrative ot it is told the story of Tom
Marshall’s visit here on one occasion to
“down” the great Whig leader. Mr. Clay
had to face a back salary grab. There
was no question of the facts. They were
nil against him. He had come home to
his blue grass constituency, and was to
meet the charges and reply to them from
the front ot the court house. Marshall
had been sent for, and had
come to show the weakness of Mr. Clay’s
defense and to clinch the political scan
dal. Clay commenced to speak and Mar
shall stood in the crowd, well toward the
front, listening. As the orator progressed
with bis vindication Marshall edged back
toward the street. At length Marshall
reached tha opposite side of Broadway
and stood in the outskirts of the crowd.
Clay reached his closing periods as Mar
shall was slipping round the corner of
Cheapside. Two or three anti-Clay men
stopped him and said, “Why, Mr. Mar
shall, where are you going? We want
you to answer Mr, Clay. You can reply
to all he’s said. “Of course, 1 can answer
him,” said Mr. Marshall, vehemently. “1
can make a better argument than that. I
can meet every point, but, gentlemen, 1
can’t get up there and do it now. That’s
all.” *
Told the Truth in Spite of Himself.
Boston Globe.
’Squire Borge, of Bangor, is wealthy,
and wishes his friends to understand that
he is a wonderful sportsman. Last winter
he started up country on a fishing trip,
where he met with poor success. The
first thing he did on returning to the city
was to go to a market and buy fifteen
trout. They were beauties, and he told
the salesman what he was going to do, and
asked him where he should say they were
caught.
“Oh, tell ’em they were taken from
Linus l’ond.”
On his way home the ’Squire called and
had the largest one photographed. Under
neath the picture he wrote:
“One of the fifteen taken from Linus
Pond, Jan. 8, 1884, by Timothy Borge,
Esq.”
In two days he came back to the mar
ketman and said:
“Lookee here, where is Linus Pond,
anyhow? They asked me wher a it was,
anil 1 told them lt was up iq| c north
part of Hancock county. Theij Say got
a map and wanted mo to show it j them,
and for the life of me I couldn’t find it.
Just tell me where it is, and I’ll go home
and fix them. Confound them. I’ll tell
’em where Linus Pond is, and give them
enough ol it.”
Then tbemarketman led him gently out
side the shop and pointed to his sign. It
read: “Linus Pond. Fish, oysters and
game.”
Needed Him in the Family.
A young man in New York plead for
the hand of a wealthy man’s daughter.
His salary was large, and he appealed
with great fervor. “But,” said the old
man, “you cannot support her,” “To
be sure I can,” said the fellow, “for be
side my salary I intend to make an as
signment.”
“What, make an assignment? Then by
jingo. you shall have her. I was afraid,
sir "that you had not the proper business
capacity, but I now see my mistake.
Will you have preferred creditors?”
“No, will beat them all alike.”
“Ab, bah! Assets how much ?”
“About $3,000 in stock.”
“Aud liabilities?”
“Seventy-five thousand.”
“Say,” exclaimed the Judge, arising,
“stay here until I come back with the
preacher,” and as he closed the street
door he mused, “Cannot afford to let such
valuable son-in-law timber escape.”
The Only St. John Man.
Chicago Fews.
“Pardon me, sir, but you did not cheer
as the procession- passed; you are not a
Blaine man ?”
“No, 1 am not.”
“You think, then, that Cleveland
should—”
“You mistake me, sir; 1 am not for
Cleveland.”
“Then it is Butler whom you—"’
“Wrong again, sir; I could not con
sistently vote for Butler.”
“What! not for Blaine, nor Cleveland,
nor Butler? Y'ou must be a Prohibition
ist, then. You’re the first St. John man
‘ Pve met this year!”
“J’m sorry to hear you say that; I’m
St. John himself.”

VIEWING THE MACHINERY.
The Old Lady Who Was Crazy on tlie
Subject.
They bail been silting on the promenade
deck for more than an hour, • ays the
Detroit Free Press, when she suggested
that they go down stairs and look at the
machinery. He agreed, and an old lady
who sat near by and heard the conversa
tion rose up and said:
“Young man have, you any objection to
my going along S' I’ve alius been crazy
on the subject of machinery.”
He replied that he would be delighted
and she followed the couple to the main
“This, 1 suppose you know,” began the
young man, “is the main shaft.”
“Yes—yes—came from the State of
Maine,” twittered the young lady.
The old woman stuck up her nose but
made no remarks.
“That up there is the walking-beam.”
“Oh! is it? How nice! You wouldn’t
think it could walk, but of course it
does?”
“The old woman put on her spectacles
to get a better look at the girl.
“That rod you see there,” continued
the voung man, “is called an eccentric.”
“How funny! But why shouldn’t it
be? There are’ eccentric people, and why
shouldn’t there be eccentric rods? 1 pre
sume it gets cranky sometimes. Go on,
George."
“I don’t believe it!” muttered the old
woman.
“And that is called a steam-chest, my
dear.”
“Oh! is it? I’ve always wanted to see
one. They put their steam in there so as
to keep it * cool and nice. It’s the same
principle as a refrigerator. Yes,
George.”
The old woman removed her specs and
began to look as mad as a cow r on a sand
bar.
“That thing up there is called a steam
dial,” said George.
“Oh, how nice! I’ve read of it some
where in Shakspeare’s works. 1 see the
pointer is at 80. My! but who’d believe
we were carrying eighty tons of steam!
George, if we blow up you must save me
—indeed, you must. What’s that glass
thing?”
“It’s a water-indicator.”
“Oh, I see. It indicates that we are on
the water. How grateful we ought to be
to the geniuses of America for these in
ventions!”
Here the old lady started to leave with
a “humph!” of disgust, but the young
man called:
“Madam, are you not interested?”
“Look a-here, young man!” she ex
claimed as she wheeled around; “mebbe
you kin make a fool of that innercent
young gal, and mebbe she delights in it,
but when it coiffes to stuffing old hens
with chopped straw it won’t go down!
Pass on! I’m a walkin’-beam myself, and
I’m goin’ to walk.”
And, away she sailed, carrying lorty
flve pounds of steam by the dial.
How a Snake’s Bite was Cured.
Summerville (Ga.) Letter.
The death of showman Reilly from a
rattlesnake’s bite has excited considera
ble comment here. Old farmers say that
he would not have died had he been bitten
in this locality, where snake bites are of
common occurrence and do not result fa
tally one case in a thousand. Samuel
Moonev w r ent seining a short time ago in
the Chattanooga river, a small stream in
North Georgia. He cornered a fine bass
and drove it into a hole in the bank.
Drawing the seine close up to it he ran
his arm into the hole to drive the fish out,
when a large cottonmouth moccasin, the
worst snake there is in this part of the
country—worse than the rattler—
struck’him on the wrist. He tell over in
the water and would have drowned but
for some men plowing near by. They got
him out and gave him, they say, a quart
of whisky. It had no effect on him what
ever. He chewed and swallowed three
plugs of strong tobacco before he began to
feel sick. What is known here as snake
weed, an old Indian remedy, was made
into tea and given him to drink, and a
poultice of it was put on the wound,
which was found to be in one of the veins
at the wrist.
For two weeks Mooney’s life was de
spaired of. Doctors came from all quar
ters to see him, but none could do any
thing for him. The farmer continued to
feed him on snake-weed tea and apply the
poultice. He got well, and is now as
hearty as ever. For weeks after he began
to limp around his body from head to foot
was as blue as indigo, but it gradually
faded away and his natural color return
ed. He says that at the instant he was
struck his" heart gave a great bound, and
felt as if it had burst into a thousand
pieces. His narrow escape is attributed
to the fact that the poison entered the
vein and affected his heart.
Had it been only in "be flesh he would
easily have got over it.

BAD BLOOD.
SCROFULOUS.
INHERITED.
CONTAGIOUS.
IN 1870 Scrofulous Ulcers broke out on my
body until my breast was one mass of cor
ruption. Some of these Ulcers were not less
than one and one-half inches in diameter, the
edges rouglL, ragged and seemingly dead, the
cavity open to the bone and tilled with offen
sive matter. Everything known to the medi
cal faculty was tried in vain. Gradually the
bom: itself because diseased, and then the
suffering began in earnest. Bone Ulcers began
to take the place of those hitherto on the sur
face. I became a mere wreck. For months
at a time could not get my hands to my head
because of extreme soreness. Could not turn
in bed. Knew not what it was to be an hour
even free irom pain. Had reason to look upon
life itself as a curse. In the summer of 1880,
after ton years of this wretched existence, I
began to use the Cuticura Remedies, and
after two years’ persistent use of them the last
Ulcer has liealed. The dread disease has suc
cumbed. All over the breast where was once
a mass of corruption is now a healthy skin.
My weight has increased from 128 to 150
pounds, and the good work is still going on. I
leel myself anew man. and all through the
Cuticura Remedies.
