Public Executions.
Capital punishment is inflicted in
civilized communities f*>r the purpose of
ridding society ot certain classes of crim
inals, and in order to deter men from
committing crime. To deter men from
violating the law by means of the terrible
example set forth in the execution of a
criminal it is not by anv means necessary
that they should see the sentence of the
law earned out. It is enough that they
should know that it has been done, and
the air of mystery attending a private
execution is no doubt tenfold more im
pressive for good than an execution and
its surrounding scenes to which the public
Is indiscriminately admitted.
Public executions are looked upon by
a majority of those who attend them as
free shows. People who have unbridled
curiosity or brutal instincts sometimes
travel many miles to see a fellow cieature
suffer for his misdeeds. Sometimes the
blunders of drunken or incompetent
officials, whose excitement is aggravated
by the presence of an immense concourse
of people. cause the doomed wretch un
necessary suffering, and sometimes he is
allowed to deliver a harangue which ex
cites the pity and sympathy of a large
number of tbe witnesses. He is looked
upon as a martyr or a hero, and the law
which justly exacts of him his life is con
demned.
Only a few days ago a man in New Or
leans who had just seen two murderers
launched into eternity, and who had in
his possession as a “relic” a piece of the
rope by which one of them was suspended,
committed an unprovoked murder. What
a revolting spectacle was that in New
York recently when the murderer Jef
ferson, by a powerful effort, broke the
thongs that bound his hands and tore tbe
black cap from his face, revealing his ter
rible countenance and protruding eyes.
Capital punishment is sanctioned by
both divine and human laws. It is not
only right but necessary, and it should be
carried out in a private, orderly and sol
emn manner. Sheriffs should be held
responsible, and be punished by fine or
otherwise for blunders committed on such
occasions. The criminal classes should
be taught that the violator ol the law will
not go unwhipt of justice; but they should
not have reason to believe that, in case
thev should not be able to escape the pen
alty of the law, they would appear before
an immense concourse of people in the
leading role of a grand tragedy. In what
| ever manner the doomed man may play
his part—whether he confesses bis crime,
or stubbornly asserts his innocence, or
claims that he is about to step from the
gallows to the glories of eternity—it is not
often that the proper effect is produced on
the spectators.
Cotton Harvesting.
The Nashville Banner thinks that the
negro’s right hand is tbe best cotton ma
chine ever invented. Not so. Both the
negro’s hands beat it just one hundred
percent. The Banner man has evidently
never seen one of our Georgia brag cotton
pickers at work. There is a negro
preacher in Ilouston county who can
easily pick 700 pounds per day in good
cotton. He walks on his knees, having
shoes made to fit them, and gathers the
cotton with both hands.
Some seventy years ago it was thought
impossible for a man to pick 100 pounds
of cotton per day. The boy who first ac
complished this feat in Georgia after
wards became a General and one of the
ablest lawyers and best citizens in the
State. Two hundred pounds is a pretty
good average day’s picking even now
with the Improved cottons of the present.
While the negro is undoubtedly the best
cotton picker yet invented he is an expen
sive one. He is also very often a con
trary and troublesome one. When be
works smoothly and regularly he gets
about one-fifth the value of a bale of cot
ton for picking it, and very often he gets
almost a third for this trifling but very
necessary service.
There is a part of the colored population
that lives exclusively by picking cotton
in the autumn, picking berries in the
spring and summer, and picking up things
that are found around loose between sea
sons. Few regular farm laborers will
pick cotton, and it is to free the planters
from the class above named that tbe cot
ton picking machine is needed. Let Mr.
Mason hurry up. The people do not wish
to elass his invention with the Keely mo
tor. but they will not have any faith in it
unless they see it at work.
Yesterday’s Earthquake.
The people of a very large section of
country, extending from Central Pennsyl
vania to slaine, were pretty thoroughly
alarmed yesterday by a very distinct shock
of earthquake. In some localities they
were so lightened that they rushed out
of their houses to avoid apprehended
danger. The reports indicate that the
shock was more severe in some places
than others. The chief evidences of an
unusual disturbance were overthrown
chimneys, cracked walls and displaced
furniture. The great majority of the
people evidently did not realize
what the trouble was until
all danger had passed. As the
shaken region is not subject to earth
quakes, it was natural that the people
should have been in doubt as to the true
cause of the disturbance until they had
compared notes and heard from other
points. The best opinion seems to be that
theoriginal shock lasted about ten seconds,
and that vibrations were perceptible for
nearly a minute afterwards. A little
more than a year ago the Ischia earth
quake destroyed hundreds of lives, and a
little less than a year ago the world was
startled by the newsof the Java calamity,
which was far more destructive to life
and property than that of Ischia. There
is no reason to apprehend a destructive
earthquake in this country, although the
shock of yesterday indicates that such a
calamity is not wholly improbable.
The action of the Aldermen of New
York in granting a franchise to a compa
ny to build a surface railroad on Broad
way, the great street of that city, has oc
casioned a good deal of speculation about
the proposed railroad under the same
street. It is said that the construction of
a suriace railroad on Broadway will not
interfere with the building of an under,
ground road. A cable road, which goes
seven or eight feet under the surface for
its foundations, would seriously interfere
with a tunnel or arcade. The Broadway
Underground Railroad, in which ex-Sec
retary Windom is a large stockholder,
will probably go to work to carry out its
new underground plan in October. It
proposes to build an arcade 35 by 16 feet
under Broadway, with four tracks, and
having sewer, gas and water pipes at the
sides. This will not interfere with any
store vaults or private rights. The four
tracks will carry 300,000,000 people a year.
On the other hand, a horse car road on the
surface will only carry from 8,000,000 to
10,000,000 people in the course of a year;
whereas the natural increase of city
travel, as shown by the records, is 25,000,-
000 a year. The underground road, with
its ability to run express trains at the
rate oi forty miles an hour, is the only
feasible and practical solution of the
vexed question of rapid transit.
There is an alarming increase of mor
tality among children in New York. The
different kinds of summer complaints are
slaying the little ones by the hundred.
These diseases are probably caused in
many cases by the drinking of contami
nated water and adulterated milk. No
doubt the greater number of these chil
dren owe their death to Improper diet.
Candies and confections and half-decayed
fruit should not be given to children in
summer. New York and a great many
other places need a few cargoes of old
fashioned s%eet potatoes. Nothing else
is hall so good to keep the children quiet
and healthy.
The New York llerald is responsible
for the story that Blaine, when Speaker,
erawled out of a window and passed
along the stone belting course of the cap
itol to another room—thence to the House,
where be announced the Chairman on
Appropriations which he had promised to
Gen. Butler. He crawled out of the win
dow to avoid Gen. Butler, who was wait?
ing for him at the door to hold him to his
promise, which Blaine violated. Blaine
was not to be blamed much for this. Per
haps Butler would have caused him a fa
tal attack of sunstroke.
A Powerful Argument.
The Postmaster at New Orleans has
replied to the eharges which the commis
sion appointed to investigate his office
made against him a day or two ago.
From tbe charges and the reply it is ap
parent that tbe civil service law has not
worked much reform in the New Orleans
post office. Tbe reply substantially al
- the charges. The Postmaster de
fends himself bvdeclaring that it is about
impossible to run the office as it ought to
be run, because he cannot get from the
ranks of the Republicans in Louisiana
honest and competent employes.
Anybody who knows anything about the
class of people who make up the Republi
can party in Louisiana will admit at once
that there is a good deal of truth in what
the Postmaster says. There is probably
nowhere in the country such a motley and
thoroughly rotten lot of politicians as
there is in the Federal offices in Louisi
ana. There are, of course, some reputable
men among them, but the number is very
small. The offices are all located
in the custom house, and
that Immense granite building
holds more incompetent, good-for-nothing
and thoroughly bad Federal employes
than any other building: under the juris
diction of the government. If that collec
tion of government officials could lie put
in cages and shown through the country,
and if at the same time the record of each
could be made knowD, the people would
indignantly demand that the Republican
party should be driven from power. An
exhibition of that kind would be more
powerful than the rhetoric of orators or
the arguments of the press in influencing
the people to turn the rascals out.
People worship pure patriotism much
less than accidental greatness. Gen.
James Shields was the hero of three wars.
He had the honor of representing three
different States in the United States
Senate. lie was one of the bravest,
heartiest, kindest of men, and yet his
grave at Carrollton, Missouri, is un
marked by stone or monument. He hap
pened not to belong to the particular set
which composes the grand national
mutual admiration society, and now he is
almost forgotten. He seemed to lack no
element of greatness except talented
claquers.
The receipts of the great Brooklyn
bridge for July netted about SIO,OOO. This
would indicate an average of about $120,-
000 a year, or less than one per cent, of the
cost ol the structure. It is expected that the
bridge will pay better in tbe future, but
it may be that the ferries will so reduce
the fares that the bridge will never be
come a paying investment for the twin
cities unless the first cost be considered
as so much donated to the public, and no
interest on it be expected..
The New York Democrats hoot at the
idea of Blaine carrying that State. It
seems to he a part ol the Republican tac
tics to have every Republican to boast on
any and every occasion that New York
may be safely counted for Blaine, and
they are playing that bluff game for all it
is worth. They brag that they have
bought up the Irish vote. The indica
tions are that the Republican ticket in
New York will be snowed under.
CURRENT COMMENT.
Blaine ami Jones’ Old Plan.
Washington Poet ( Dem .).
The unprotected coal miners of Pennsyl
vania demand diving wages for miniDg the
protected coal of that region. Several strikes
are in progress and others are imminent. But
the bosses are expected to beat the strikers
by the old plan—the way formerly adopted
by Chairman Jones and Mr. Blaine—the em
ployment of cheap imported labor.
Caricature to be Laid Away.
Philadelphia Times (Ind.).
In fact, the political caricature in Ameri
can politics bids fair to be laid away with the
bloodv shirt. Nashy’s letters and other played
out political agencies. Candidates will be
judged in future more by what they have
actually done in public life than by any dis
torted and malevolent images of them which
may appear iu the illustrated papers.
About Butler’s Record.
Xew York Herald (Ind.).'
Asa Presidential candidate of course Ben
Butler will have to hear a great deal about
his cotton operations during the war and
some of his “claim” operations since. The
scandal about the New Orleans spoons will
hardly lie brought up, Gen. Butler has been
a widower, too. for many years, and perhaps
some clergyman will be found before the can
vas is over'to brand him as a moral leper.
The Right to Change.
Philadelphia Record (Ind. Dem.)
There is a mod industrious rummaging of

mind on political issues. Of course with those

Talking in verse was one of the amuse
ments introduced at a Paris dinner the other
day, In revival of an old custom. The exer
cise lasted but a quarter of an hour, during
which some very pretty and ingenious
speeches were made. The French heroic
metre is not very difficult for improvisation,
but it is not so easy as the Hiawathan meas
ure. and not much more so than that other
trochaic measure in which the alternate
verses are cataleotic and rhymed. Why should
not talking in rhyme become a pastime for the
readv-tongued and ready-witted American
women?
Tnx cost of electric light for the illumina
tion of cities, as compared with gas, has been
computed by Hartford, Conn., where arc
lights have been in use for about a year. The
report states that each electric light in use
displaces six and one-half street gas burners,
besides giving at the same time at least ten
times as much light. The ga? lamps cost 435
per burner |>er annum, kept burning 320
nights in the year, while for the electric lights
65 cents a night is paid. The electric light
being equal to six and one-half gs burners,
a saving of 415 60 per lamp per year is effected
bv the use of electricity, besides the cost of
lighting and extinguishing the gas lamps.
A mono the miseries endured by the victims

An electric woman in France has awakened
much interest lately. She has been under
observation for about 8 years, and is now
about 29 years ot age. While a girl she
noticed that at certain times her hair pro
duced crepitation and emitted sparks in tba
(lark. She can attract light bodies, such as
pieces of paper, ribbons, etc., with her flu
tters, and her hairs not only produce sparks
when combed, but stand apart. When her
clothing is put upon her there is produced not
only a luminous crepitation, but it even ad
heres to the body; sometimes so closely that
it interferes with the movements of the body.
She has also the power of charging bodies
with electricity. The amount and intensity
of the electricity generated by her depends
upon the state of her mind, as also upon the
state of the atmosphere.
A California newspaper says: “Newnitre
bed* are constantly being lound in Nevada,
and they promise to be of greater productive
ness aud value than those of Peru, which
gave rise to the war between that eountry and
Chili, and are now possessed by the latter. The
nitre beds of Nevada are far better situated
for the development of the nitre deposits than
is the nitre region of South America, which is
a desert devoid of water and all vegetable
life. The development of its nitre beds can
therefore only be accomplished by surmount
ing difficulties. Provisions of all kinds must
be furnished from distant countries; the
water supplies for all purposes must be con
densed from ocean water and carried to the
nitre fields at great expense, and fuel has to
be procured from the mountains in the south
of Chili at gre ,t cost, while here the nitre
beds are in the vicinity of a rich farming
country, with wood and water right at hand.
The Kolnische Zeitung publishes a long ac
count of the present position of the German
and French manufacturing industries. It
says that Berlin has completely supplanted
Paris iu cheap articles iu copper, of which
considerable quantities are exported from
Germany to France. On the other hand, Pa
ris has a monopoly of the trade in artistic
bronzes. In cheap lamps Berlin has the con
trol of the international market, but Paris ex
cels in the more exjiensive articles. As re
gards porcelain and glass, Germany competes
successfully with Paris; but she cannot rival
Lyons in certain qualities of silks and velvets,
etc. In cheap cloth, Germany has the superi
ority; but France, on ihe other hand, has a
monopoly in the lace manufacture. The Ger
man newspaper attributes the successful com
petition of Germany with Frauce to the supe
rior industry of German workmen and iheir
willingness to work at lower rates than French
artisans.
The Garden of Eden, the Land of Canaan,
Atlantis, and the island of Circe hems now
things of the past, perhaps the only thing of
tbe kind left is the island of Herm. which will
lie disposed of at the end of this month to the
highest bidder. Herm is a Channel island,
aud consists of 406 statute acres, 100 of which
are rich and arable, and comprise the largest
farm in the Channel Islands. The rest of the
island consists of picturesque broken ground,
cladingorse and heather, to use the laguage
of the auctioneer, who has never achieved
greater heights than in the concoction of the
advertisement from which we quote. Par
tridges. pheasants, wild geese and rabbits
abound, and the amount of grapes and early
potatoes which are or might be produced are
quite marvelous. There are no government
taxes in Herm and no parish rates, and the
place would have been eminently adapted to
the late Alexander Selkirk had he happened
to he living.
The Holiness Band was founded on the
Pacific coast by Rev. George NewtoD, tormerly
a Methodist preacher, and more lately of the
Salvation Army. Those who join the hand
are supposed to he sanctified for the work,
and then they are permitted to do as they
please in order to attract attention and make
proseivtes. One man fantastically appar
eled "carries iu San Francisco a pole on
which is “a banner with a strange device."
He is numerously followed by idlers and
hoodlums, and when he takes his stand on an
eligible corner and shows the sign by which
he conquers, although he says nothing, a po
liceman advises him to move on. He isobedi
ent, and the multitude follow him. He says
the pole and banner tactics are very effective,
and always lead some sinful souls into camp.
Others of the hand clothe themselves with
pasteboard arks and all ars with pious inscrip

drums aud carrying torches.

BICH MEN OF MACON.
No Millionaires but a Few Who Have
More Than Half a Million.
Telegraph and Messenger.
Macon is a great deal wealthier than
one would think at a casual glance over
her list ot property holders. Though the
jioorest city on earth for its size so far as
revenue from taxation is concerned, it is
the wealthiest when we look over the tax
books and Bradstreet's directory. Nearly
one-half of the city is not incorporated,
and thus we only get $75,000 from taxa
tion, when it should be twice that
amount.
But speaking of rich men. I took the
trouble tbe other day to compile a list of
citizens ot Macon who could come under
that head. It required considerable In
quiry and investigation, but I believe the
figures to becorrect in every case; in fact,
with many of them I have given the min
imum of their wealth, so as to be on the
safe side. There are three men in Macon
who are worth three-quarters of a million
dollars each, Col. W. B. Johnson,
Capt. J. M. Johnston and Col, H. J.
Lamar. If yon go to the tax books
you will see that these gentlemen
pay taxes on their property as follows:
W. B. Johnson, $79,650; J. M. Johnston,
$44,750; H. J. Lamar, $28,500. But these
figures do not serve as a basis, lor sev
eral reasons. These men have a vast
amount of securities that arc not taxable
aud property outside of Macon. Of the
three, perhaps Col. Lamar will be the
richest 10 years from now. The two
Johnstons depend upon railroads and ac
cumulated interest, while Col. Lamar
has in addition an income from the three
S’s that is a fortune in itself.
Among those whose wealth ranges from
SIOO,OOO to $300,000 are four ladies, Mrs.
John L. Jones. Mrs. Ann Damottr, Mrs.
Kennedy and Mrs. Wilkinson. They are
worth SIOO,OOO each. The estate of J. C.
Curd is worth $225,000. and E. H. Carhart
is worth $250,000. J. J. Gresham is worth
$250,000, and so is Col. Lee Jordan.
Joseph Dannenbergis worth $225,000, and
M. Nussbaum and J. S. Schofield are
worth $200,000 each. T. C. Dempsey has
a snug fortune oi $500,000.
D. F. Gunn is worth $175,000, Dr. J. S.
Baxter $150,000, and the estates of Asher
Ayres, S. R. Jaques, Thomas Wood, H. L.
Jewett. R. E. I%rk and W. H. Virgin are
worth $125,000 each.
Those who are worth SIOO,OOO are Julian

T. Johnson, G. B. Roberts, A. B. Small,
I>. J. Baer, A. J. Lane, J. E. Jones, S.
Waxelbaum, S. S. Dunlap.
Those who are worth $75,000 are George
B. Turpin, Robert H. Plant, R. F. Law
ton and Mrs. William S. Holt.
Following up the wealthy, we see that
C. Burke & Son are worth $70,000. E. P.
Strong S6O,(XXI, C. It. Willingham $60,000,
T. B. Gresham $60,000. and W. R. Rogers,
N. T. Johnson, R. H. Brown, I. C. Plant,
H. J. Lamar. Jr., L. W. Hunt, 11. L. Henry
are worth $60,000 each.
The estimated wealth of Dr. C. H. Hall
and E. Wolff is $40,000 each.
W. Wolff, E. Witkowski, I. B. English,
Mathew Daly, W. 11. Ross, W. L. Ellis
and Dr. W. F. Holt are said to be worth
$35,000 each.
Among the many who are worth $25,000
and upwards, are G. T. Rogers. W. A.
Crutchfield, E. D. Huguenin, W. F. Can
non, R. K. Ilines, A. Gibian, M. G.

11. Burden, J. 51. Boardmau. W. P. Good
all, U. M. Gunn, Dr. R. 51. Patterson and
others whose names escape me as I write.
When we figure this up we find an ag
gregate of nearly $9,000,000, and I have
mentioned only a few of the more promi
nent citizens. * There are several men in
51acon whose wealth cannot even be ap
proximated. Take Henry Horne, for in
stance. No one can guess within $20,000
of what his wealth is, and there are sev
eral others in the same peculiar kind of a
boat with Mr. Horne.
There is a pile of this money locked up
where it can never benefit slacon, A
thousand industries could be established
with this money, and yet enough could
not be secured for a street car line. It
remains for the boys who are growing up
to build up the waste places and give the
mechanics a chance at the money that
no w lies in vaults in the shape of bonds_
Perhaps in the above I may have p oßß i.‘
blv overestimated or underestimated sonK ,
I have relied on the general talk with
those who have better means of finding
out such things than 1 have, though I be
lieve lam about correct in the figures. I
have certainly tried to be.

NOT FOR BLAINE.
New York Woman Suffragists Lean
Toward Cleveland—An Interview with
slr. Hamilton Wlllcox.
“Does the woman’s suffrage party agree
with the manifestoes for Blaine of slrs.
Stanton and Miss Anthony?” asked a
New York correspondent of Mr. Hamilton
Willcox, Chairman oi the State Executive
Committee, this afternoon.
“By no means,” answered 51r. Willcox;
“I know of but two persons in the party
who do.”
Reporter—Why ?
sir. Willcox—The suffrage societies are
formed to agitate, to expose the wrongs
which grow from the disfranchisement of
women, and to advocate its removal. The
need for enlightenment of the public mind
upon this question has ceased in this State
except in a few Assembly districts. As
long as our success in any popular move
ment is unattainable, the main point is to
keep the subject before the community,
so that the truth of the matter may be
come gradually clear and prejudice re
moved. At this stage many things may
wisely be done simply to attract attention
and stir up thought and discussion, but
when the public is finally ready to agree
to the proposed measure the aim should
be to effect the change as quietly as
possible, and to make it accept
able to as many persons as
practicable. If female suffrage were
as distant now as it was ten years ago, a
manifestation in favor of Blaine might be
well enough as agitation, but when, Ra
the first time, all six parties in the field
have nominated candidates favorable to
our views, we should alienate the friends
of the other candidates by supporting one.
We never propitiate candidates of our
own, but work for those who help us,
and particularly devote ourselves to’ tak
ing the scalps of our enemies. Our or
ganization is much larger than is sup
posed. Grover Cleveland has signed one
female suffrage bill, and has voluntarily
promised to sign others, if passed; while,
owing to the kindly position of all his
competitors, we cannot fairly support
hint against them, although we shall be
pleased to see him elected.
Correspondent—Then, how did this
Blaine address come to be issued?
Mr. Willcox Mrs. Stanton and sliss
Anthony do not belong to our party.
They are officers of the National Woman's
Suffrage Association, which devotes
itself to agitation, and their address is not
like our appeals to the public, but to
their fellow-members. We did not antici
pate their action, and were surprised by it.
BUTLER’S PROGRAMME.
What a Private Letter is Said to Have
Contained.
A gentleman of Albany, N. Y., says a
special to the Philadelphia Press, says he
has seen a letter from Butler to “a man
known all over the nation,” whose name
he will not make PR®V- in which the
General makesknownjrDblans. He says:
“To begin hi s friend, in
language too fervent to be mis
understood, that he is going to make a
desperate fight in the States of New Y’ork
and Massachusetts. The canvass will be
carried iuto every township in each of the
States mentioned, and an organized effort
made for votes that has never been sur
passed by either of the two great parties
now before the public. Butler insists that
Gen. West must be nominated on the
ticket with him for Vice President, and he
promises a platform of his own that will
scatter many votes from the Republican
and Democratic parties and centralize all
disaffected elements under the Butler
banner.
“He is very precise and emphatic in
telling his friend to explain to the leaders
of a certain organization that there is to
be no gammon, and that there will be
$1,000,000 sunk in the campaign in this
State alone. The substance of the re
mainder of the letter I cannot mention,
but I can say that it is instructive read
ing, ahd proves that Ben Butler has not
gone into dotage yet, nor has he forgotten
a single point necessary to practical suc
cess in practical politics.”
A Sahara Swindling Scheme.
Pari Dispatch to the London Times.
A parallel to the Port Breton affair was
tried to-day before the Paris court. Two
enterprising gentlemen, M. Menier, wRo
seems to be a journalist, and M. Alle
mand, described as a banker, conceived
some time ago the ingenious idea of turn
ing the dry but fertile soil of the Sahara
to profitable uses. This was to be done
by means of artesian wells and artificial
oases. The capital to be subscribed was
400,000 francs, half of which was handed
over to the founders in return tor the idea
and for lands which had been purchased
from Arab chiefs. In order to stimulate
the co-operation ot capitalists, two news
papers were lounded, the France Popu
laire, at Paris, and the Sahara, in Africa.
The judicial authorities had their atten
tion called to this strange enterprise, and
came to the conclusion that MM. Menier
and Allemand were swindling the inves
tors who had been inveigled into the busi.
ness. Allemand at once took to flight,
and Menier, who was tried tXMiay, was
condemned to two years’ imprisonment
and a fine of 500 francs. Allemand was
condemned, by default, to five years’ im
prisonment and a fine of 1,000 franos,
JOHN SHERMAN’S PALACE.
The Beautiful Home Secured Through
Thrift in Public Life.
Senator Sherman, says the Boston Her
ald, just completing one o( the finest
country residences in Ohio at his home in
Mansfield. It is a dark red brick of two
stories and a mansard roof, finished out
with a tower and many corners. It has
roomy porches at the front and side, giv
ing shady seats and beautiful views at all
hours of the day. The wiudows of the
house, built on the French order, open
like doors onto these porches, and their
ceilings are of polished wood. The trim
mings of the house are made of a remark
able stone, a quantity of tvhien underlies
Mrs. Sherman's farm east of the city.
That used by the Senator comes from a
quarry on an adjacentestate. It is a reddish
sandstone, mottled and grained with many
different colored veins. At some places
it looks like a section of knotted, gnarly
wood, and at others like the veins of a half
rotten stump carefully polished. The
veins are of different widths, and they
twist themselves around into all conceiv
able shapes. Now a number of them w ill
run in parallel curves, now they twist
themselves into as many rings "as the
snakes of the Laocoon, and now they stand
out in all directions like the hair" of the
Medusa. Well trimmed and polished and
cut into beautiful shapes, their color
matches well with the dark red of the
house, and in front, where they show out
prominently above the door and hold up
the great porch, they form a finish more
rich and beautiful than any stone that
can be procured anyw here el9e. The in
terior of the house,’however, will be its
chief feature. It has many rooms, and
they are large, airy and high-ceilinged.
The halls are so wide that a
wagon load oi hay could be driven
through them. They run through the
centre of the house and are arranged with
a sort of L at the back, so that every room
on each floor opens into its respective hall.
The carpenters were busy at work here
several days ago when l passed
through the "house in company with Sena
tor Sherman. We went together through
out three stories, carefully stepping up
the partially made stairs, stooping low as
we moved around through the scaffolding,
and going through a number of large
windowed rooms, giving a series of views
which extended far and wide over the
rich farms and wooded hills of Richland
county. The house itself is situated on
some of the highest ground in the State of
Ohio. It has a large lawn filled with
shrubbery, a fine orchard and fields sur
rounding it, making up an estate oi about
fourteen acres. It fronts on Market
street, the finest in Mansfield, and is well
to the west of the city. Several of these
windows overlook the city, and there are
none of them but that give beautiful
country views as w 7 ell.
These large halls and easy staircases
are finished in a beautiful red cherry,
highly polished, and in places elegantly
carved. Each ot the rooms is finished in
a different kind of choice wood, and each
of them contains a fireplace and mantel
trimmed in the same material. The din
ing-room, for instance, is of a rich oak,
with its sideboard to match. The kitchen
is finished irf fine yellow pine of a beauti
ful grain and highly polished. The sit
ting-room, I think, is mottled or bird’s
eye poplar, and the library in some other
rich wood. The shelves in the library are
built close up against the wall, and their
chief ornamentation is the books resting
upon them. A large library-table sits in
the centre of the room, and this to-day
was covered with books and papers. Be
fore this time. Senator Sherman has had
his library in the third story, but now he
has removed it to the ground floor, putting
it in the northeast corner of the room ad
joining Mrs. Sherman’s sitting-room,
which lies between it and the parlor. It
is a large room, w ell lighted and airy,
with several windows looking out
upon the lawn. Every room in
the house has an electric bell, and all the
chambers are furnished with modern con
veniences. It will be a splendid place for
entertaining and it will continue foy m anv
years as one of the historic Mansions of
the country. It Is a rem- rkal ; ly comfort
able house, and Is jC jj without being ex
travagant or "' a udy. That which consti
tutes soul of the house is still to be
aded. As yet no curtains have been put
up, and the glitter and polish of furniture
and brass work are absent. In two weeks,
however, all will be complete. The pic
tures will be on the walls, the fine rugs
will partially hide the well-joined floors,
and bright chandeliers will throw their
rays over the thousand and one things
which, so much more than woodwork and
masonry, go to tell the character of the
inner life of a home or the tastes of its
inmates. As it is, it compares well with
the other homes of great statesmen Clay,
Webster and Calhoun had but ordinary
homes, and Buchanan’s Wheatland, near
Lancaster, though located much the same
as Senator Sherman’s home, possessed no
elegance worthy of remark.
Lamar on Butler.
Vicksburg {Miss.) Herald, Aug. 5.
In the course of his brief speech to the
friends and neighbors who called upon
him the evening he returned to his home,
Senator Lamar, after describing the Demo
cratic Convention at Cfiicago as the
grandest assemblage of representative
men ever witnessed in this or any other
country, paid a passing compliment to
Ben Butler, as follows: “There was one
remarkable and dramatic scene there.
Gen. Butler’s friends had heralded his
coming, backed by such an array of
strength among the working men and
other elements of popularity as to claim
for him the nomination of the great na
tional party there assembled. Gen. Butler
did come, and was honored with a place
on the Platform Committee. His was the
only dissenting voice to the final report of
that committee. He presented a platform
of bis own, meritorious in many respects,
and sustained it with a speech in
which he took occasion to say
that he offered it In behalf of one
million and a half of voting la
borers whom he would turn over to the
Democracy if the convention would but
honor him by its adoption, accompanying
his brazen and impudent proposition with
a threat that dire disaster would inevita
bly follow" its rejection. Butler failed to
say who had authorized him to make such
a bold and defiant offer, or who had put
the cause of all the laboring classes in
his keeping, but closed his menace by
saying that if the convention did not. In
effect, kneel to him, he hopod God would
help them, as he could not. He said But
ler’s proposition had its parallel in Holy
Writ. Like a distinguished progenitor of
his on a certain occasion, he sought to
take the convention into a high mountain,
and after displaying the glory of bis do
minion and power, to tender it all to the
Democracy if they would fall down and
worship him. The convention said, as
the Savior did, ‘Get behind me, Satan,’
and spurned his offers and threats with
the contempt they so richly deserved. In
fact, his following was so small that his
name was not proposed for nomination.”
The preferred style for the white lawn
dresses is a round skirt with tucks and no
overskirt, a tucked blouse or full Mother
Hubbard waist belted, and a big bow and
ends in the back for sash drapery. This
style is pretty and popular for all kinds of
plain colored wash-goods dresses.

BAD BLOOD.
SCROFULOUS.
INHERITED.
CONTAGIOUS.
IX 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 rough, ragged and seemingly dead, the
cavity open to the bone and lilled with offen
sive matter. Everything known to the medi
cal faculty was tried in vain. Gradually the
bone itself because diseased, and then the
suffering began in earnest. Bone Ulcers began
to take the place of those hUherto on the sur
face. I became a mere wreck. For months
at a time could not get my hands to bt head
because of extreme soreness. Could not turn
in bed. Knew not what it was to be an hour
even free from pain. Had reason to look upon
life itself as a curse. In the summer of 1880,
after teD years of this wretched existence, I
began to use the Cuticura Remedies, and
after two years’ persistent use of them the last
Ulcer has healed. 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 123 to 156
pounds, and the good work is still going on. I
feel myself anew man, and all thrauah the

“This is to certify that I have made a careful analysis of Dr. Price’s Cream
Baking Powder, and also of the Royal Baking Powder.”
“I find that Dr. Price’s Powder is made of pure materials and mixed ia the best
chemical proportions for the object to be attained.”
“It contains no Carbonate of Ammonia, but one-half as much starch as the Royal
Baking Powder, evolves more carbonic acid gas, both by analysis and by a practical
test in the preparation and baking of biscuits, makes a lighter, better flavored, and,
in my opinion, more wholesome article of food.”
“I regard the Price Baking Powder as superior to the Royal Baking Powder for
the following reasons
“l. It contains no Ammonia, a substance which is not advisable in articles of food,
and unnecessary, if it is not positively injurious.
“2. It contains less starch, and, therefore, weight for weight, contains more of the
active ingredients and is a purer article.
“3. It evolves more carbonic acid gas, and therefore more efficient, asshowD by ana
lysis and by experiment w ith a weighed quantity of biscuit dough.
“4. The ingredients are mixed in better proportions, sq that there is less iree alka
line carbonate remaining in the dough to impair digestion by neutralizing the gastric
juice.
“5. It gives a lighter and better flavored dough, owing to the facts stated in Nos. 3
and 4 above.”

to the Royal Baking Powder.” >

Our stock of Victoria Lawns and Dotted Swisses,
Our stock of Marseilles and Checked Nainsooks,
Our stock of Lace Bobinets and Mosquito Nets, eto.,
Being reduced to more than half that such goods of equal quality can be had else
where, we doubt not our ability to please every one and tube enabled soon to an
nounce the closing sale of the season, for we have determined lo dispose of our entire
summer stock at any sacrifice, so that we shall not, be hampered next season with
any stock which we have carried over. We find it to be a very poor policy to carry
stock over from season to season, hence we rather slaughter eur goods now.
REMEMBER,
Never Before Were Greater Inducements and Better
Bargains Given.
WE REGRET VERY MUCH
That so many of our patrons could not be waited on Monday last, but having en
gaged additional help, we trust that it will not occur again te any axtent.
