Tub most nturtlinn incident of tint Charleston earthquake reached us yes terday. It was this: "A barkeeper sud denly felt as if lie was drunk and had to hold to his bar to keep from falling." Truly, wonderful things happened din ing the earthquake. It seems to be an unfortunate thing for Prince Alexander that lie was not born in America. If lie were a free and en lightened citizen of these United States, it has been suggested that lie would now he an expensive bone of contention among all the dime museums in the land. It is money in any man’s pocket to be born in America. Tub suit of a convict slaughterer against his lawyer for $50,000 for not keeping him out of the penitentiary is rather alarming to lawyers who make a specialty of criminal cases. The safest tiling for a criminal lawyer to do, perhaps, is to conduct his client’s defense so as to insure a verdict with a deatli penalty attachment. Dead men neither toll tales nor bring suit for damages. Ik the Mayflower wore only the kind of ship that carries on actual commerce or traffic between American [torts and ports across the sen, how much deeper and stronger would be our satisfaction in seeing her come in ahead os. the best sailer that can be brought to compete with her. It is a triumph of course, lint it is such a very little one in sight of the rich cargoes that are carried from Ameri can waters in foreign bottoms. There is always a more or less scanty vote, even in exciting elections, and many of the political ills of which our people complain are directly attributable to this fact. If the stay-at-homes, who are so ready with a wail whenever a bad man is elected, or whenever a public of ficer misbehaves, would do their duty as faithfully us the “voting herd” whom they affect to despise, there would lie far less encouragement for incompetent or corrupt men to seek to foist them-ailver- upon the public as salaried officers. The prerequisite) to voting is registration, and the registration rolls show that many of our citizens who would be greatly of fended if charged with bad citizenship have not even taken the trouble to qual ity themselves for voting. Now is a good time for these gentlemen to begin are- form, and they should take advantage of the little time left them in which to ef fect a registration. Tun New York World says that eartb- qiuikekliavo hitherto eontined themselves for the most part to countries of which the inhabitants have not been celebrated for marked inventive ingenuity. But when seismic convulsions begin to tamper with the United States they will And that yankee genius will rise to the occasion. Already the geological survey at Wash ington is in receipt of twenty or thirty suggestions as to the prevention of earth quakes. One seemingly practical device is broached by a master mind who thinks holes bored in the earth would give an outlet to destructive gasses. Perhaps the genius who lias made the above sug gestion will take the contract to bore a few of tlie holes and throw up a volcano here and there. He could have them ready for operation about the time He Lesseps’eanal is finished, and if he struck oil in the operation he might consider himself lucky. Two items of news from Chicago de serve to be [tut together, though they do not stand in the exact relation of cause and effect. One of t hem tells of a mur derous attempt to destroy a railroad by dynamite, the other of an enthusiastic meeting of g thousand foreigners who sympathized with the anarchists now in jail and denounced the authorities. It is a difficult matter to catch the dyna- niiters|red handed, and the law does not provide adequate punishment for men arrested for attempting to throw open switches, and otherwise showing that they are prepared to do similar work of destruction. But the agitators at these anarchist meetings who use language calculated to cause a breach of the peace get within reach of the law, and ought to he promtply put in jail long before their words can take effect. That was the lesson most apparent from the descrip tion of the meetings which led up to the Haymarket murders. If less license were given to these threatening speakers there would probably lie less inclination to carry their reckless advice into effect. THE JIK IT ST K,UK It. On Saturday last a man was prisoned in Kufatila for stealing meat— Ibr robbing a smoke house. And as a public journalist, that is a than who tells people to do what he does'nt do himself, we feel il our duty to call public'atten tion to the habit of meat stealing, and to treat it from a physiological point of view. Meat stealing is a habit that is attract ing wide attention from ministers, scien tists and reformers. When a young man begins to steal meat —when he first be gins to slowly give way to the insiduous habit—he loses caste. Anti ho ought to. It is a habit that cor rupts youth, destroys manhood and brings old age iti sorrow to the grave. When a young man first begins to yield to this undermining habit lie little dreams where it will take him to, where it will end. lie says to himself, "I’ll only take a few ounces of dry salt bacon, not enough to interfere with my busi ness, not even enough for the young la dies in society to smell it on iny breath, and then I’ll swear off.” In vain his moth er pleads with him to give up his wild companions, who make night iiidcous in their wild search for bacon, who carry their meat hooks under their clothes un seen by a cold, staring, pitiless world. In vain bis sister begs him to desist for her sweet sake, and try to forget his all-con suming appetite for meat, in vain ltiH haggard wife anti ragged children bog him to conquer his increasing thirst for meat, and remind him that while he is a moderate meat stealer now, in a few years at best, it will be “whole hog or none.” “No,” he says, “I scorn to believe that, this appetite can conquer my manhood, and make me its slave. Nobody ever knew me to steal more than n few ounces at a time.” Ah! foolish man, could he but foresee that in a few years, in stead of taking a few ounces of dry salt bacon, just to stimulate him and give him an appetite he will be found some night in a pitiable condition. He will be seen staggering and reeling along the streets in the dim moonlight with two sides of bacon under each arm, a canvas ham in each side coat pocket, a string of sausages for a sash and a beef-tripe epaulette on each shoulder. When a meat stealer reaches this stage he never reforms. Ho may take the pledgejf.and keep it for a season —keep it until his wan-faced wife begins to smile faintly and the roses begin to blush dimly through her cheeks once more. But alas! In some company, in some crowd lie will meet with tempta tion. It may be some thoughtless and giddy woman with her own bejeweledand diamond-decked hand will hold up a piece of meat under his nose and tell him to just sip a little of it to her health. Ah! how the green-eyed tiends deep down in perdition must gloat and laugh with a long and a bitter laugh ns they see the weak man waver. He hesitates, he yields, lie tastes; and then—lft us draw the curtain over the scene; for the once rational man is wild now, and he’ll rob a half dozen smoke houses before morning, ub. woman! beatific woman, how sad j that thy holy influence should be pros- | tituted to lead weak men astray. Young j ladies, never offer a weak man a piece of ! bleat. Some day when you vend his | name on a tombstone you’ll regret it. | < >r some morning when you wake j up and find your father’s smoko; house door off’ the hinges, and his year’s j supply of meat gone on an indefinite leave of absence, you’ll regret it still : more. We repent it, young ladies, never j otl’er a young man it piece of meat. ! especially if you’ve heard that he has a weakness for it, and if he has the tem perament and complexion of a meat- stealer. Offer him flowers, offer him j advice, offer him your hand with the five fingers thrown in. oiler him several glasses of Gibson’s XXX until he tries to go out by way of the fireplace instead of the door, and, failing in his attempt, sits down and sings that he won’t go home ’till morning, till morning light appears. But don't offer him meat. Don’t help him to form a habit that will min him. It appears to be the cue of Austria and Germany to regard Russian pretensions in Bulgaria as an affair peculiarly of England; hut exactly why it is so re garded does not appear. England was merely a participant, like the others, in the conference which fixed the terms of peace, and has extended only a moral support to Alexander; but this, it would seem, should hardly count for as much in the way of national obligation as tlie incidents which connect Germany with the Bulgarian status. Eng land has the ' largest commer cial stake in sustaining the Turk as a sort of port-warden of the Bospho rus, as also an immense commercial stake in In Ha, hut the czar has not assailed either. And if tliinly-drawn construc tions of the possible ulterior bearings of movements in themselves of small direct j consequence he adopted as t lie rule of diplomacy in dealing with Russia, it | would seem that Russian aggressions are hardly more threatening to tlie remote , interests of England than to the imme- j diate home interests of immediate neigh- j hors—the continental powers which were England's partners in curbing Russian ambition. it be Mr. Jilaino. They began their in trigue as far hack as last January, and during that month and tlie next they were very active. Then they became discouraged and relaxed their efforts, hut as the election approached they renewed them. Up to within ten days of the elec tion they were not without hopes of milking a great deal of trouble for the senator, if they did not succeed in defeat ing him. A correspondent of the New York organ of Mr. Blaine was given free swing in the Rutland organ of the anti- Edmunds movement. The old Central Vermont railroad ring used its influence wherever there was a chance of dividing the republican party, and every device known to the ingenuity of tlie Blaine type of politician was resorted to. Hie result is a senate unanimous for Mr. Edmunds’i e-election, and a majority in the bouse of some 100. Thu Kulimlii Police. Officer J. H. Evans arrested a large and power fully framed negro man last afternoon named .Sol Anderson. Mr. James Jones assisted the officer in taking the negro to the lock-up.—Eu- faula Mail. We’ve taken pleasure on a previous occasion in commending the gallantry of the Eufaula police force, and it gives us no little satisfaction to add Officer J. H. Evans’ name to Eufeula’s growing list of heroes. We predicted at the time that Officer Brown gallantly charged on a four- teen-year-old negro boy and brought him in un aided, that some other policeman, inspired by his example, would some day arrest a grown ne gro. Officer Evans has verified our prophecy. This negro Sol Anderson was not oulv grown, but he “saw a grown mail and one better.” He was “powerfully framed.” Though this latter fact was probably discovered by aboard of physicians on a medical examination after Sol was brought in. Sol has doubtless discovered by this time that he can’t hide his “powerful frame” under his clothes like a concealed weapon and tote it around to scare policemen with, by making them believe that he will pull the trigger and fire it at them if they monkey with him. You can’t impose on Eufhula policemen, Sol, if they are little and pale, and all puffed up. Sol had just as well take his powerful frame and rent it out to a colored sewing society to make quilts on, for all the good it ’ill do him in Eufaula, when the policemen get after him. What do they care for a “powerfltl frame?” They’ll knock it in the head if it attacks them. Mr. James Jones deserves credit also, and we hope he will be given it wherever he asks for it in town. Mr. James Jones assisted the officer in taking Sol Anderson, and his “powerful frame” and other baggage and effects to the lock-up. It is not stated that Sol laid down and, refused to walk. But any sensible reader will know that he did after reading that Mr. Jones had to assist in carrying him. One of those Eufaula policemen would take Mexico if Mexico would voluntarily surrender, j and somebody—Mr. James Jones for instance— would walk on the other side of her while he run her in.'

A Massachusetts man, by comparing notes, hasjust discovered that Benedict Arnold, the traitor, utilized the same love-letter he sent to Miss Shippen in laying siege to the heart of an other young lady six months afterwards. Both copies are extant and give Arnold no chance of escaping whatever degree of opprobrium there may have been in the act. But the sentiment in the two cases being the same, why should not the words be? Under the circumstances the gen eral reputation of the writer would not suffer any deterioration by the discovery, unless it be in the minds of some young ladies. The Concord school may adjourn, but a Con cord philosopher never rests. One of them has lately explained a knotty point as follows: “There arc many: there is one: and their unity by the oneness of the many enables us to grasp the manyness of the one in the threofoldness of its totality.” This is as clear as Schuylkill water.

GEORGIA STEAM AND GAS PIPE COMPANY, Telephone 99. 13 Twelfth Street. A Child's Suffering From Eczema Ears and Scalp Covered with Scabs and Sores Cured by Cutitura. My little son, aged eight years, has been af flicted with Eczema of the Scalp, and at times a great portion of the body, ever since lie was two years old. It began in his ears, ami extended to his scalp, which became covered with scabs and sores, and from which a sticky fluid poured out, causing intense itching and distress, and leaving his hair matted and lifeless. Underneath these scabs, the skin was raw, like a piece of beefsteak. Gradually the hair came out and was destroyed, until but a small patch was left at the back of the head. My friends in Peabody know how my lit tle boy has suffered. At night he would scratch his head until his pillow -was covered with blood. I used to tie his hands behind him, and in many ways tried to prevent his scratching: but it was no use, he would scratch. I took him to the hos pital and to the best Physicians in Peabody with out success. About this time, some friends, who had been cured by the Cuticura Remedies, pre vailed upon me to try them. I began to use them on the 15th of January last. In seven months every particle of the disease was removed. Not u spot or scab remains on his scalp to tell the story of his suffering. His hair has returned, and is thick and strong, and his scalp as sweet and clean as any child’s in the world. I cannot say enough to express my gratitude for this wonderful cure by the Cuticura Remedies, and wish all similar ly afflicted to know that my statements are true and without exaggeration. CHARLES McKAY. Oct. 6,1885. Peabody, Mass. I have seen Mr. McKay’s little boy when badly affected with the Eczema. He was a pitiful sight to look at. I know that he has tried our best physicians and did all a father could do for a suf fering child. but availed nothing. I know that the statements he made you as regards the curing of his boy by your Cuticura Remedies are true in every particular. william j. McCarthy, 33 I oster St., Peabody, Mass.
