Gen. Grant is earnestly prayed lor

He certainly needs prayer.
West Virginia is now bragging on ber-
Belf as a watermelon raising State. The

melons quite profitably ’ West Virginia.
It is probably very well tftas-the Swaim
court martial has been postponed so as to
keep it from being affected by the politi
cal campaign. There is already a sur
plusage of Republican rascality and
fraud on band ready to be dished up as it
may be wanted.
Sauer kraut festivals are quite fashion
able among the Germans of St. Louis.
Sauer kraut is said to l>e more nutritious,
as well as more “filling,” tnan ice cream,
but it is difficult to get the average Ameri

probably too cheap.
There is a rumor abroad that Mrs. Lang
try's masb is Smalley, the Loudon corres

a newspaper correspondent gets rich

it's nearly time for him to retire and be
come a railroad President.
Although Osborne has been sent back
to South America, it appears that Sena
tor Ingalls’ re-election to the Senate is by
no means assured. It is said that even
in case the next Legislature should be
Republican, Ingalls will have to overcome
a very formidable combination.
Texas contains a great many bold, bail
men. It is not surprising that one should
be found who is willing to run against
Gov. Ireland as an Independent. It is so
warm in that State now that he does not
seem to know that he will lie snowed un
der by an overwhelming majority.
It is not known how much ex-Sena

pool. After the lapse of two days since
the pebble dropped, the ripples appear to
have completely disappeared. Even
O’Donovan Rossa does not seem to be at
all concerned about the plans of the
American party.
It is stated that Brother Beecher is go
ing to lecture next month on current poli
p tica, the idea being to offset the influence
or his old paper, the Independent, which
is fighting Cleveland a great deal harder
than it is fighting the devil. The influ
ence of the politico-religious papers is
probably very much over estimated.
As usual, just as the plans are being
perfected for the English to achieve a sub
stantial victory, Lord Wolselev is to be
sent to the seat ot war. W olseley appears
to be the dandy pet of his government,
and he has, perhaps, received more glori
fication for what has been achieved by
other men than any officer in the world.
There appears to be no law to prevent
American dudes from inviting all the
erowned heads of Europe, Asia and Africa
to their weddings, and the presumption
that the royal guests won’t come is a
pretty safe one. The advertising value of
these invitations is not as treat as would
be if the envious newspaper men of
America were not so Irreverent.
A curious convention was held in New
Jersey the other day. It was a meeting
of 1,300 Smiths, but all whose Christian
name was John were rigorously excluded.
An assembly of Smiths from which John
Smiths are excluded is very much like
the play of Hamlet with the Prince of
Denmark left out. We may expect the
John Smiths to retaliate at an early day.
The Rhode Island Democrats are having
the liveliest kind of a time. They can get
up a grand demonstration on short notice,
with brass bands and fireworks in profu
sion. Heretofore the Rhode Island Demo
crats have appeared to be overawed by
the dyed-in-the-wool Republicans of that
State. While they don’t hope to carry
the State they are determined this fall to
make their adversaries earn all they get.
Simmons, the perpetual-motion man of
Georgia, don’t like the statement in the
New York Herald that “the fool-killer is
grinding his club in the notch to destroy’’
him. He says he can run anything with
his perpetual-motion machine that runs
by steam, and he wants somebody to put
up the money and put him at the head of
the best locomotive factory in the country
in order that he may prove what he says.
Here is a chance tor Bennett, of the Her
ald, “to put up or shut up.”
It is surmised that the Republicans are
greatly disappointed in Chairman Jones.
It was supposed that under his adminis
tration everything would turn to gold,
and the grandest aggressive campaign of
the age was expected. From the dearth
of funds in the bands of the committee it
seem* that Jones is a failure as a Midas.
JEven his own bar’l is kept tight at the
bung, while the spigot is very small in
deed. An aggressive Republican cam
paign without money is not to be thought
of.
Denver, the metropolis of Colorado, ap
pears to be charmed with the idea or cre
mation. The people out there believe in
keeping it pretty hot for each other in
this world, and now they are fixing to
make It red hot for their bodies, at least,
as they depart for the next. They are in
earnest about building a crematory, and
already a company with $25,000 capital
bas been organized for the purpose. The
new company is being actively opposed
by the undertakers. It is likely to inter
fere with tbeir business interests if it is
successful. Avery large proportion of
people who shuffle off the mortal coil
in Denver are non-residents, and their
remains are sent East for interment. The
undertakers charge an average of S3OO for
embalming and furnishing a metallic
case. If the dead non-residents should
be cremated this trade would be lost alto
gether for then the remains would be
shipped in a cigar box, and not only the
undertakers but the railroad company
would lose a profitable line of custom.
The Railroad Commission and the
Pool.
Maj. Campbell Wallace, a member of the
Georgia Railroad Commission, bas given
his views to the public relative to the
threatened rate war. He takes the
ground that a rate war would not be bene
ficial to commercial interests or to the
people ol the territory tributary to the
warring lines. He gives reasons why it
would not be beneficial, but as we gave
the same reasons a couple of weeks ago
there is no occasion for repeating them.
Maj. Wallace does not believe in the
pool system as a protection against rate
cutting, lie thinks the system is bad be
cause it is a one-sided affair, and a sort of
“iron-clad” protection to railroads against
lower rates. In a word. Maj. M allace
thinks the pool is hostile to the interests
of the people.
But because Maj. Wallace does not be
lieve in the pool it doesn’t follow that he
hasn’t a remedy for rate cutting. He has
a remedy, and he states it as follows:
The remedy ought to be mainlv with
the railroads" themselves in the proper
recognition of the rights of their patrons
in giving reliable, open, 6teady, “just and
reasonable” rates for persons and prop
erty. The people will always accept, but
have never demanded, ruinous low rates.
Just and reasonable rates for both the
railroads and themselves, freedom from
dictation and rulings as to territory and
routes, equality In rates as between per
sons, towns and cities, properly regard
in'’' distance, location and facilities,
natural or artificial or combined, with
dispatch and satety in transit, carefulness
in handling and promptness and courtesy
in delivery, is all that is demanded. Let
merit be the test, not cut rates.
This is a nice little lecture on the
duties of railroad managers, but it is diffi
cult to find in it a remedy for ratecut-
I ting. It is easy enough to say that rail
| roads ought to establish just and reason
j able rates, and that they ought not to un
i ,lcrbid each other to get each other’s
! legitimate business, but what does that
| amount to? The thing that has to be
i dealt with is not what railroads ought to
do, but what they actually do. This
moralizing has been going on since com
petition among railroads began, but it
hasn’t prevented rate wars, and never
will.
To be a little more practical and to come
nearer to the point at issue, what would
Maj. Wallace advise in the case which is
expected to arise next Monday ? On that
day the East Tennessee, Virginia and
Georgia will withdraw from the pool.
The purpose of the withdrawal can be
nothing else than a determination to get
a larger 6hare of the business of the ter
ritory which is tributary to com
peting lines. To get this business
it must offer inducements. It is
stated that it has already or
dered contracts made at lower rates.
What would Maj. Wallace have the Cen
tral do? Allow its business to be taken
from it without an effort? Of course not.
That would be ruinous. He would advise
the Central, probably, to seek some ar
rangement with its rival that would avoid
a rate war. But that would be a sort of a
pool, and would be open to the same ob
jection that he raises against the pool sys
tem.
It must lie plain to Maj. Wallace, how
ever, than no arrangement can be made
that will not call for heavy concessions
irom the Contral. The East Tennessee.
Virginia and Georgia isn’t likely to make
any arrangement which will not place it iu
a better positiou than it occupied in the
pool.
From this presentation of the situation,
it appears that peace can be had only at
the expense of the Central. Can the
Central afford the price of peace? For
fifteen years it has been purchasing
peace, and if it yields to the demands of
its rivals again it is pretty certain to have
new demands made upon it in the very
near future. When will these demands
cease? When the Central has nothing
more to concede? It looks very much
that way. Every concession that the
Central makes lessens its power to resist
future demands. There come times in the
career of nations when diplomacy can do
nothing. The issue has to be settled by
an appeal to arms. Rival roads, when
they cannot agree upon the share of busi
ness to which each is entitled, settle their
differences by a trial of strength. It has
always been s<>and probably will continue
to be so for a good while yet. It looks
very much as if the time had come for the
Central to fight. It has made concessions
long enough.
Maj. Wallace throws out a sugges
tion, however, that is worth attention. It
is embodied in the following extract from
the interview with him:
The people are restrained by law from
trespassing or in anywise obstructing
railroad corporations in the proper use
and enjovment of their rights and privi
leges. and it cannot be denied that the
people ought to be protected against an
improper, unjust and arbitrary use of the
privileges and rights granted these cor
porations. Georgia has undertaken to
regulate this matter within her ow n bor
ders, and to guarantee perfect good faith
and fairness in all commercial inter
course between these parties, and I im
agine if an oecasiou arises for her inter
posing between them,or between the rail
roads themselves, to prevent damaging
results to either, it w ill be found that her
laws and her State officials will lie equal
to the emergency,
Maj. Wallace expressly says that he
speaks only for himself in this matter,
and that he has not consulted the other
Commissioners. His suggestion that the
Railroad Commission has the power to
interfere and stop a rate war is novel, to
say the least or it. It would be rather
rash, however, to deny that the Commis
sion has such power. Things that are
not set forth in the bond apparently, as
far as unpracticed eyes can see,
are often found there by lawyers
and courts. It may be that Maj. Wallace
has hit upon the plan to put an end to the
rate war if it should begin. If the Com
mission really bas the power to prevent
rates from being placed too low as well as
too high it will take steps, of course, to
fix the rates of the East Tennessee. Vir
ginia and Georgia as soon as that road
lowers them beyond what the Commission
thinks is lair and reasonable.
It would be a funny state of affairs to
see roads that have been railing at the
Commission for lowering rates rail at it
for prohibiting them from doing the same
thing of their own accord.
Senator Hoar’s Latest.
Senator Hoar is making himself very
conspicuous in the campaign. The ag
gressive way in which he is pushing him
self to tbe lront justifies the suspicion
that be expects a Cabinet position in the
event of Blaine’s election.
Tbe idea that always appears to be up
jiermost in Senator Hoar’s mind is that
be is morally better than anybody else.
A good deal of his time in the Senate has
been devoted to pointing out what ap
peared to him to be the shortcomings of
tbe South. Tbe sins and shortcomings of
his own section he has never been able to
see.
Senator Hoar's last appearance before
tbe nublic is in the shape of a letter to an
“alleged” young friend in which he de
fends Blaine against the charges which
stain his political record, aud tells his
Young friend that he will be a “deserter”
tl he fails to stand by his party.
The earnestness with which Senator
Hoar supports Blaine is somewhat re
markable, in view ot tbe fact that so many
very excellent Republicans find it impos
sible to vote for him because of his cor
rupt practices while in office. Perhaps if
Senator Hoar haul not a point to gain he
would not find Blaine to lie so pure a man
as he claims to find him.
Senator Hoar has been so busy patch
ing up Blaine's public character that he
has not yet said anything about the Dan
ville and Copiah county investigations.
He will find time, doubtless, to refer to
them later on. If he sticks closely to the
truth, however, he will not make much
capital out of them, but his conscience
appears to lie so twisted that he
cannot be depended upon to see any
thing as it is unless it happens to serve
his purpose to see it that way. His letter
to his “alleged” young friend shows pretty
clearly what sort of a an he is. It shows
that his “better than thou” air is as
sumed.
The old craze about the sand cure for
dyspepsia is being revived in Georgia.

Out of the Race.
The withdrawal of Pomeroy and Co
nant, the Presidential ticket of the Ameri
can party, the chief tenets of which are
opposition to the liquor traffic and to se
cret societies, does not appear to have
attracted more than a passing notice. In
fact, so infinitesimal was the attention
paid to Pomeroy when he was nominated
that his scandalous record was not pub
lished. People hardly inquired whether
or not he was the man formerly known as
“Subsidy” Pomeroy. As for Conant, the
candidate for Vice President, it is doubt
ful if it is generally known yet whether
he is a resident of New York or New
Mexico.
The headless American party, it is
announced, will support St. John and
Daniel, the candidates of the Prohibition
party. It isn’t probable that it will give
that party much help because it doesn’t
possess much strength. Tbe reports that
are put out about the Prohibition party,
however, ought to alarm the managers of
tbe Republican party.
The Prohibitionists are workers. They
are holding big camp meetings in the
Northern and Western States, and appear
to be causing a great deal of excitement.
Tneir orators, both men and women, are
of the fervid sort, and they talk a good
deal like revivalists at protracted religious
meetings. They are not bothered by scan
dals. If their candidates are not politi
cally and morally clean the fact has not
yet been made public. They act like
people who have a great work to do and
are bent on doing it.
The Prohibition party hasn’t a ghost of
a chance, of course, of carrying a single
State, but it is worth watching simply be
cause it illustrates how much men and
women can accomplish who are guided
and encouraged by a single purpose.
While it may not accomplish anything
for itself in the present political contest,
it may be the means of ousting the cor
rupt Republican party from powef. It
draws its strength chiefly from that or
ganization. and it will very materially
reduce, if it does not wipe out, the Repub
lican majorities in New York, lowa,
Michigan, Illinois, Indiana and Ohio. An
amusing feature of the situation is that
the Republicans do not dare to make war
on the Prohibitionists.
The Chief Fireman and the Volun
teers.
We publish elsewhere a communication
from “An Old Fireman” in regard to the
proposition of Chief Engineer Fernandez
to increase the number of paid employes
ol the Fire Department. The writer of
tbe communication is a business man, a
tax-payer, an old officer of one of
the fire companies, and an active
member of the department. The
Morning News has no concern in
the fight, if there be one, between the
Chief and the volunteers, but it cannot
fail to observe that there is a decided
lack of harmony between the commander
and those who serve under him. Whether
it is the fault of the Chief Engineer or
that of the members of the department,
we do not propose to decide. That is not
our province.
Tbe present state of affairs is not the
growth of a day, nor of a year. It has
been growing since January, 1876, when
the City Council reorganized the Fire
Department, and took from the volunteer
firemen the right to select their chief, and
made that officer a paid employe ot the
corporation. Since that time the
tendency has been steadily towards a
paid department. Under the new system
the authority of company officers was first
curtailed. They were no longer looked
to for the care o( the apparatus and
horses; that was left to the paid engineers
and drivers. As the authority of their
officers lessened the discipline of the men
decreased. What had once been a pleas
ant recreation was in many cases felt
to be an irksome task. One bv one the
privileges of the volunteer firemen disap
peared, and now all that remain are the
memories of the past and a small amount
of enthusiasm amongst a few members of
each organization, who still love the ex
citement of a fireman’s life
or hold on to it to get clear of jury
duty. Of the innumerable differences
which appear to exist between the Chief
Engineer and the volunteers we know
little. It is evident, however, from
what the Chief stated in his letter to the
City Council, and what is said by the
firemen who feel aggrieved by the acts
of that officer, that the city must at no
very distant day have a paid
tire department, or go back to
the old system and let
the company officers elect the Chief, and
hold them responsible for the manage
ment of the department, and also for the
care of the apparatus and tbe discipline
of the members. It is very apparent that
the present mixed system bodes no good
to the city, and the sooner it is made
either an entire volunteer department or
an entire paid system the better for all
concerned.
CURRENT COMMENT.
The Murderer Admirers.
St. Louis Republican (Deni.).
There are doubtless some strangely consti
tuted people who regard Frank James with
out horror. There are freaks of mental as of

whose normal understanding is not bad and
whose general honesty, is not questioned.
“Tallapoosa” as a Trade Mark.
Boston Post ( Dem.).
The government landau which Attorney
General Williams appropriated to his private
use gave him a title which he will carry to
his dving day. hut that was a mere trifle to
what" the government has had to pay for the
summer cruises of ltobeson. Chandler and
others, who are entitled to the soubriquet of
“Tallapoosa” if they need anything to add to
the distinguishing trade marks which they
now possess. The Butter Blaine bargain was
the last thing that brought theTallapoosainto
fresh notoriety. It was time for her to sink.
Another Rc*sou for a Rebuke.
Metv York Times ( Ind. Rep.).
It is only the party in power in the National
Government that can extort contributions for
party purposes from those holding office, and
so far as the public is informed efforts to
colonize and purchase voters in the present
canvass are resorted to only by the committee
encaged in promoting the election of Mr.
Blaine. This affords an additional reason for
administerirg a popular rebuke to the man
agers who have degraded the party and
brought into the conduct of the canvass
methods that pollute the very sources of
political power.
Keep tbe Landmarks in View,
Mem York World (Dem.).
Everv Democrat and every honest man
should" steadily keep the landmarks of the
campaign in view. When people read about
the Butter burlesque, the Morey letter, the
Augusta tombstone, the cipher dispatches and
other important matters, including lying per
sonal slanders, let them remember their mis
-ion is to drive a dishonest and dangerous
party from power, to re-establish simplicity
and 'honesty in the national government, to
bring public robbers to justice and to save the
nation irom the dishonest hands of Blaine
and his disreputable star route supporters.
ITEMS OF INTEREST.
AN astute London club man says that when
he hears so much of scandals in lives of politi
cal candidates in the United States be is re
minded of the old story of Dr. Johnson: “Oh,
doctor,” said a lady to him one day, “there
are a great many naughty words in your dic
tinnary!" “H’m, madam,” said the great
lexicographer, “you’ve been looking for
them."
“Rowser" Wit, a colored boy wlio died re
cently at Greenville, Vt., at tbe age of sixteen
years, was, says the Boston Journal, a most
remarkable example of a skeleton. Ten
months after his birth his flesh began wasting
away, and. though he increased iu stature, it
was in bones oulv. He grew to five feet in
height, with a well developed head and neck,
tmt the rest of his body was strictly skin and
bones. When held in front of a strong light
the process of digestion could lie observed in
ids body, lie had never walked or talked.
The evening before Daniel Webster died
his physician repeated to him the words, “Tby
rod and Thy staff they comfort me,” and
Webster replied, as if in sympathy, but too
weak to complete the sentence, “Thy rod and
Thy stall’—the fact—the fact-1 w ant.” Here
i lie" matter rested as at first reported. A
Bostonian now gives what lie declares is the
true account, as it came to him very directly.
Webster asked whether he was likely to live
till morning. Dr. Jeffreys, not willing to give
a positive answer, repeated from the twenty
third psalm. We lister saw the evasion, and
in a clear aud rather severe tone said: “ ‘Thy
rod and Thy staff!’—the fact, the fact I want. ’
lie desired an answer.
Gen. “Dick” Oglesby, who is running for
Governor of Illinois, came very near to being
drowned one day in his boyhood, getting far
beyond hi* depth tiefore he had learned to
swim. “I had heard,” he said, “that when a
person in the water goes down the third time
hednwns. I counted distinctly the number
of times I sank, and when I went down the
third time 1 said to myself: ‘Now, I am dead!’
Every event of my life passed before me with
vivid distinctness, but without creating any
peculiar feeUng. I saw them go by as if they
Were a swiftly-moving panorama. I was
desd, I knew I was deal, and I died without
a struggle or pain ol any kind whatever. He
was fished out and resuscitated after half an

The London clubs are generally open to
Americans, and the Athenaeum, tbe Saville,
the Savage, the Green Room, and the Rabe
lais have formidable lists of honorary mem
bers. The Rabelais is an interesting institu
tion. In order to be eligible a man is required
to have done one of two things. He must either
have read Rabelais’ works or not have read
Rabelais’ works. In either case he can come
in. Lord Houghton sometimes presides, and
opens proceedings bv solemnly arising and
enunciating a single Latin phrase. There are
no speeches, and but one toast, which is drunk
standing with all the honors at tne end of the
fea*t. The words are: “To the immortal
memory of the master!” There are six
American members. A coterie which meets
in London to dine is the Kinsmen. It includes
English and Americans.
A certain French connoisseur was a great
admirer of Greuze’s paintings. An old woman
was schooled to act the part of the house
keeper to a supposititious man, whose por
trait had been painted by Greuze. Tins man.
who was dead, had willed to his old house
kee|>er —such was the story—a legacy of $123
per annum on condition that she kept this
portrait in her imesession. When the connois
seur as told all this he became, of course,
impatient to be the owner of the unattainable
picture. The only means of acquiring it that
he could think of was to offer the proprietor
doable the annuity that he supposed she was
receiving. She made the sign of the cross to
preserve her from temptation, and immedi
ately thereafter fell a victim to it. Then cov
ering the picture, so that its appearance might
not strike her with remorse, she delivered it
to the tempter, who discovered, too late, that
her son, and not Greuze, was the painter.
A question has arisen as to the origin of
the word "microbe,” so much used during the
last few years in connection with the discove
ries of M. Pasteur, and which has ended by
finding a place in the vocabulary of every-day
life. No dictionary, not even that of Eittre,
contains the word: and though most persons
whose talk is of “microbes” may lie supposed
lo know, at least approximately, what the
expression means, there are probably but few
who could sav when and by whom it was first
employed. In a paper read by M. Charles
Sedillot of Strasburg, in February, 1878, on
the application of X. Pasteur's discoveries to
surgery, the word was used for the first tune.
He suggested microbe (from mil-roe and bios).
In replying to M. Sedillot, M. Pasteur used
the new word twice; and the day afterward
it had been aoopted bv scientific men, then
taken up by the general public. M.de l’ar
ville, writing on the subject in the Journal dee
Debuts, says that he was present at the birth
of the word, and that it came into existence
“in the hall of the Academy of Sciences one
Monday in February, at 4:30 in tbe afternoon,
jut as it was getting dark.”

“No sir,” said the barber to a suspicious
looking customer, who affably remarked, as
the lailior was being laid on, that lie supposed
there were a good many men who failed to
to pay their shaving scores. “No, sir. I ueed
to give credit, but I never do now—in fact,
nobody ever asks for tick any more.” “How’s
that?” “Well, you see,” said the barber,
trying the edge of his razor on his thumb
nail, “I had a set of stiffs who used to ask me
to chalk it down. I got tired of keeping
books, and I adopted anew system. When
ever f shaved one of these old "standbys I put
a little nick on his nose with niv razor, and
kept tally in that way. They got so they
didn’t want to run hills.” There was a
tremor in the customer’s voice as he asked
from beneath the lather: “Do you object to
being paid in advance?” —Somerville Journal.
All closed and still was the front of the house,
No sign of life could he seen,
As the summer sun on the stony street.
Poured its molten silver sheen,
If the front of the house were cl -sed and still,
Not so was it in the rear,
For a woman sat at a window there,
With a look in her face of fear.
She had heard a sound in the house next door,
As closed and still as her own.
And she feared that robbers had broken in,
To seize the wealth of the flown.
From the window she looked with cautions
dread—
Her eyes met her neighbor’s eyes;
Then the fear all vanished, and in its place
Came a look of great surprise.
But wotnan-like the occasion she met,
(As she always floes, you’ll agree.)
And, smiling, she said, “Y’our pardon I beg,
You’re away for the summer, like me.”

BUTLER AS A CROOK.
Another Reminiscence of the War-
Fortunes in Contraband Goods.
The secret of the loves of Mr. Dana and
the Widow Butler, too long hidden from
the cold eyes of an unsympathizing pub
lic, says a Washington special to the New
York World, has just come to light.
Stowed away in the musty archives of
the War Department a correspondence
has been unearthed by the merest acci
dent, which shows the gallant Butler in
the strange light of an alleged dealer in
contraband goods. The papers. 9tained
and yellow with age, can be seen
by any one desirous of inquiring in
to the matter, or part of the corre
spondence may be found in Gen. Baker’s
well-known “History of tbe Secret Ser
vice.” One ot the official letters is dated
at Washington, Jan. 20, 1865. and is ad
dressed to “C. A. Dana. Assistant Secre
tary of War.” The writer is L. C. Baker,
Brigadier General and Chief of tbe Na
tional Police. He has been ordered to in
quire into certain illegal and treasonable
transactions done under recommendation
of Maj. Gen. Butler.* “regardless of every
motive but the sordid one of amassing
wealth at the expense o! the very life
blood of this country.” In reply Gen.
Baker says:
During the latter part of last year, one G.
M, Lane, upon the recommendation of Maj.
Gen. Butter, procured permission to carry to
North Carolina articles not of a contraband
nature, consisting of hoopskirts, ladies’ wear
ing apparel, etc., and receive in return cot
ton. Lane loaded his steamer, tbe Philadel
phia, not with the articles specified, but with
salt, coffee, pork, molasses, army shoes, hats,
etc., and delivered these to Maj. J. K. White,
agent for Confederate supplies.
Gen. Butler’s brother-in-law, Mr. Hildreth,
is partner of this Lane, and has received, in
one case alone, a fee of 67,000, besides other
fees.
The letter goes on to give a list of firms
“sucking the lifeblood of the nation”
through peculiar privileges conferred by-
Lane & Hildreth, all done under protec
tion oi Butler's order. “George A. John
son, late Adjutant General under Major
Gen. B. F. Butler, and others,” the letter
states, “have several stores near Corn
Jack, Currituck county, N.C., and are
reported to have sold in two months $2 0,-
000 worth of contraband goods.” After
reciting instances where descriptions of
detectives were famished the Confeder
ates, the letter concludes: “And it can
also be clearly shown that a large portion
of these goods have gone directly to Gen.
Lee’s army.”
There is"no record that Mr. Dana took
any measure against Gen. Butler looking
to the revoking of Lane & Hildreth’s
strange permit.
A REMARKABLE CASE.
Forty-Two Teeth Removed from a
Single Cavity in a Child’s Jaw.
A wonderful case of calcareous forma
tion, in which the medical fraternity is
highly interested, says a Bridgeport,
Conn., special of Aug. 23, came to light
to-day in AVest Haven. A little eight
year-old niece of Mr. Courtwright re
moved from her under jaw a decayed
tooth which hung only by a shred of skin.
The child held up the tooth for her moth
er’s inspection. The mother examined
the child’s mouth and discovered what
looked like anew tooth. Upon being
touched it fell out. It was about the size
of a small kernel of corn, white and too
hard to be cut with a knife. Another new
tooth instantly filled the freshly opened
cavity, and that in turn with eighteen
others were removed by the mother.
At this juncture she became alarmed
and sent for a physician. He shortly ar
rived and removed twenty-four more,
making a total of forty-two. Doctors say
there have been cases of three or four
teeth following each other in quick suc
cession, but never has such a case as this
come within their knowledge. Dickens’
Bob Sawyer speaks of a boy swallowing
a bead necklace and rattling like a hail
storm when punished, but there has been
no unusual noise in this case, proving
conclusively that the forty-two teeth were
firmly fastened.
FINISHING THEIR CIVILIZATION.
Seventy-seven A’oung Pueblos to be
Placed Among Pennsylvania Farmers.
Seventy-seven young Pueblo Indians,
says a Carlisle, Pa., special of Aug. 24,
arrived here by special train from Harris
burg this evening. They are all from New
Mexico and are brought here to attend
the Indian training school. They are
from 9 to 20 years old, are from tribes that
are, to some extent, engaged in agricul
ture and of industrious habits. Miss
Shields, one of the teachers of the school,
went West in the early part of the summer
with the intention of obtaining recruits for
the institution. AYith the assistance of
some former pupils she succeeded in gath
inff this installment, and when ready to
come, Capt. Pratt, the Superintendent,
and Dr. Agnew, of New York, recently
appointed an Indian Commissioner, went
out and brought on the party. They came
through from Laguna, N. M., in four days
and presented a travel-worn and wearied
appearance. The school will open its fall
term with 400 pupils upon its roll, nearly
all of whom will be in actual attendance.
About eighty will be placed among the
farmers throughout the eastern counties
of this State for the purpose ot giving
them a practical knowledge of farming.
Felt Relieved.
Wall Street Jfewt.
“Yes, I was cleaned out on the Produce
Exchange,” he said, as he sat with his
legs swinging off the depot platform.
“And now?” “Well, I’m running forty
acres of land back here—half in onions
and half in turnips.” “And how do you
feel?” “Greatly relieved. It’s a terrible
burden off my mind not to have to shiver
and sweat over grasshoppers eating up
the wheat in Kansas, the floods drowning
out the corn in Illinois and Missouri, and
the oats in the Ohio Valley being knocked
into the middle of last month by a frost.”
“And your onions and turnips?” “Noth
ing to worry about —nothing at all. If
there’s too much rain for the onions it’s
boss for the turnips, and if it’s too cold
for turnips it makes twenty acres of onions
give all over. Great relief, gentlemen—
great relief.”
Religion Before the War.

A minister of the Gospel, who once
journeyed on horseback through Virginia
in the ante-bellum days, tells this story:
Overtaking an old negro on the road and
feeling in the mood for a chat with the old
man, he elowed his horse to keep pace
with him, when toe following dialogue
ensued: “Go you live about here?” “Yes,
massa, I belongs to Col. H . He lib
'bout two miles from yer.” “It is a beau
tiful country. Are the people about here
religious?” “Yes, massa; dey is a pow
erful sight of ’ligions ’bout yer. Dere is
Baptisses, Mefodesses, Presbyteriums and
some Quakers.” “Well, what religion did
you choose?” “Oh, laws, massa, I ain’t
no ’ligion at all—l’s jest ole ’Piscopel.”

Where the Fire is Out.
Magic no More a Mystery—Seeu from
Across the World.
“Haroun*f Aleppo,” said Sir Philip Dervat,
“had mastered every secret in nature which
the nobler magic seeks to fathom. He dis
covered that the true art of healing is to as
sist Nature to throw off the disease—to sum
mon, as It were, the whole system to eject the
enemy that has fastened on a part. His pro
cesses all included the reinvigoratiou of the
principle of life.”
In this the Eastern sage merely anticipated
the practice of the best physicians of to-day.
What life itself is, nobody knew then—nobody
knows now. But we have learned something
of the reasons why the mysterious tide rises
and falls. Provided the great organs of the
body are not irreparably destroyed, medical
science can always relieve, and ofteu save.
Yet no reputable' physician now adheres to
the barbarous and stupid processes of deple
tion, such as bleeding, by which it was at
tempted to cure disease by reducing the pa
tient’s ability to resist it. Now -a-days we do
not tear down the fort to help the garrison—
we strengthen it.
In this intelligent amt beneficent work, it is
conceded that I\VKKKit’S TONIC leads all
other medicines. As an invigorant it acts
immediately and powerfully upon the circu
lation ami Hie organs of digestion, thus giving
Nature the assistance she calls for. it follows
that all ailments of the stomach, kidneys and
liver arc at once relieved or cured. No other
preparation embodies the same qualities or
produces similar results. It is delicious to use,
and the best known anti-iuloxicant. Price
