It has quit running since tiie capture of Geronimo. Kkv. George O. Barnes, the evangelist, it is said, has^ become a Universalist. That comes of inviting everybody to lie saved. Tiie Timou-Star claims that Cincinnati is the M.scea for bridal parties. In for getting Niagra Falls it may Mecca mil- tnke. The Austin cry against New Orleans is all bosh. What Texas should do is to quarantine Mexico and keep the Greas ers at home. A Colorado paper announces the meeting of a national wool growers asso ciation in October. Columbus has a targe quota of colored population and they should Bend u delegate to represent them. The bathroom of M’me de Lesseps cost $8000. The exposed faucets and pipes aTe all gold plated. That is a sort of bathroom an anarchist .might be induced to enter—to turn the faucets to his own account—but not to bathe. A Crank recently called at the white house and ordered the doorkeepor to run over to the treasury department and bring him a few million dollars. That is n much shorter cut than asking for a fat office. The corn crop in Kentucky is figured by the d pnrtraent of agriculture at 4,000,000 bushels inoro than last year. This will not reduce the price of bread for tho poor man, hut it may influence the whisky market. Tiie marriage of Samuel Hoar, of Con cord, and Miss Helen Wadleigh, daughter of ex-Senator Wadleigh, of New Hamp shire, will take place October 20 at the house of Miss Wadloigh’s sister in Boston. Wadleigh do after that? Take his bride to Washington, as a matter of course, on a bridal trip. Mims M \i o Howis is still pouring hot shot into the “American family witli one child.” She says one child does not. con stitute a family at all. This is all very well, but it is hard to see where Miss Aland geis any right to pitch into family economy. What lias she ever done in this lino to entitle her criticisms to re spectful consideration? My ideal of a great lawyer is that great English attorney who, having accumu lated a fortune of $ 1,000,000, left it all in a will to make a home for idiots, declar ing that he wanted to give it back to the people'from whom he took it.—Bob In- gersoll. That would also be the world’s ideal of a great infidel if Bob should ever bo tar forget himself as to make a home for his silly dupes. Thkkb is a demand for more popular music at the exposition. It is not an oi>cra festival that the visitors should ho tortured by nerve-racking productions of the “old masters.” Thu exposition is a people’s festival, and the visitors want people’s music.—Commercial Gazette. Cincinnati wants a “rendering” of "Hoot, hog, or die,” and other western airs; and it is related of the conservatory difficul ties that the directors insisted upon it that Theodore Thomas should heat time with a ham hone and that he refused. This, however, may be only a Chicago notion. A II1U ONE. The champion liar hails from Pike county, Ind., and the following yarn is probably the greatest effort of his life: “A young lady who was watching my binding harvester at work fell upon the table and was carried up with the grain. As the girl was about the size of a bun dle, the machine did not recognize the dilference, and so she came through with a neat little string around her waist. One of the harvest hands caught her as the machine ‘kicked’ her out and set her on the ground right side up, when it was found that she had been more frightened than hurt." Now, if this veracious agri culturist had only added that the ma chine thrashed the young woman and shook from her face the Hour without which no self-respecting young woman’s toilet l? complete, and barreled said flour for mari-et by the aid of the young woman’s hoops, his story would possess a completeness and symmetry which would cause it to pass current every where as a great and unapproachable Work of art. COLONIZATION. We dip the item'below as indicative of the agencies at work among the Euro- j/Aius to reach out and occupy the earth: ‘A colonial congress, which has been consider ing ways and moans for furthering the move ment, has Just dome ton close at ilerlin. The measures recommended by this congress are rather extensive. They Include imperial subven tions to German steamship lines to Africa, the eroctloh of German colonial banks, and the creation of a professorship of African languages in the University of Berlin. The congress also recommends the encouragement of German emigration to Brazil and South Australia, and it has appointed a permanent colonial committoo to carry out as far as possible the ideas adopted in reference to emigration.” ' Europe is the centre of civilization in the old world, and is the home of tho best races and highest types of the human family. But its compass is too small within which to confine the restless ener gies of tier people. It is essential to peace among themselves that an outlet should be found for their overcrowded population and new channels opened for their manufactures. Hence, we find that, like an overstocked beehive, it is con stantly pouring its swarms over the islands of the sea and over tho benighted continents. It lias been hut about two centuries since colonies began to be planted upon the shores of this new west ern (world, and to-day we find that these Europeans and their vigor ous progeny have swept the red man away from his forest home and in his stead have planted from ocean to ocean their higher civilization. Some of the namby pamby sentimental ists would have us believe that when a superior race takes possession of lands preoccupied by savages, and plants in their stead a loftier race and higher civ ilization, that a great crime lias been committed. But history shows that to be one of God’s inscrutible ways of driving ignorance and vice' out of the earth and tilling their places with pro gressive and advancing races of men Why the Creator, in the beginning, saw proper to create races of people who should ultimately go down before the onward march of civilization, and like the species of birds and beasts, whose bones only are left to mark the foot prints of time and become finally extinct, is a question which we will leave to the sentimentalists to settle among them selves. Our opinions of what ought to be can never affect the facts of destiny. When God made the races of men, and made some of them grand and capable of un limited advancement, and made others but little above the reptiles which crawl over the surface of the earth, He did not pause to consult the creature after what model he should he created. Nor will he now pause to consult certain moralists about the destiny and disposition of theso in ferior races, though doubtless they felt slighted, and think rather hardly of the Uuler of the universe that he does not do so. Nothing is more clearly taught by his tory, and by the signs of the times, than that all inferior races of men who do not or cannot join in the onward march of civilization must forfeit their right to occupy the earth. England has often been abused for her tendency to colonize her crowded popu lation in different parts of the earth, and she has been accused of being grasping and overbearing towards the weaker races, to the extent, it that is now her boast, “that the sun never sets upon her possessions.” But regardless of her motives, whether of cupidity or of glory, the fact remains that England has in this way spread more civilization over the earth than all other nations combined. The Anglo-Americans, as descendants of these aspiring and advancing races, have occupied territory after territory on this continent until nearly the whole of it lias become the abode and tramping ground of her sons; while the last of the intractible natives, the willful Geronimo, goes into confinement or to the gallows. Americans have not yet been troubling tiie islands of the sea, because, and only because, there yet remains much room for spreading and much unutilized terri tory on this continent. BLAINE SEEKING RENOMINATION. Col. Caldwell, s Relative, Nay* the Plumed Knight Experts to Hun Again. Elmira, N. Y., September 21.—The re cent election in Maine and the fight made by the prohibitionists has awakened the Interest in Blaine’s candidacy in western New York. One of the most earnest sup- E rjrtors of Blaine in this section is Col. uthcr Caldwell, a veteran in politics. He is widely known us a temperance re publican, whose services both in England and this country in the prohibition cause have made him famous. Col. Caldwell re cently returned from an extended visit In New Englund. During his Hojouru there be met both Gail Hamilton and James G. Blaine, who are distant relatives of the CaldwellB. Gail Hamilton was a Btauwood, and the Caldwells and Htanwoods for generations have married and intermarried. Mr. Blaine talked freely with Col. Caldwell upon na tional polities. In speaking of the late presidential campaign Bluine referred to his visit in Elmira a few days before Cleve land’s election. It will he remembered that upon this occasion Mr. Blaine was nearly suffocated by escaping gas in liis apartments at the residence of J. D. Slee. During the recent interview with Blaine Col. Caldwell made this remark: “Mr. Blaine, if you had taken a little more of that gas in Elmira the result in New York state would have been different and you would now be president of the United Stutes.” To this observation Mr. Blaine quickly replied: “Do you think, then, that my visit to New York was a mistake?” “I do indeed, Mr. Blaine, a serious mistake, but I trust the year 1888 will have corrected those mistakes when you are again the popular candidate of the great republican party.” To this pointedproph- ecy, clearly and unmistakably made, Mr. Blaine stepped back, deliberately and gracefully lifted his hat, and bowed most courteously. In the conversation that followed Mr. Blaine showed in every way that he expected and was willing to be the candidate of the republican party in 1888. Col. Caldwell considers this the most significant incident yet made public of Mr. Blaine’s desire to run again for the presidency. In relating the incident Col. Caldwell said: “I have not the shadow of a doubt that James G. Blaine will be the republican nominee. He will be nominated on the first ballot. The republican sentiment In New York, Ohio and Pennsylvania is for him to-day. The west is in favor of him and New England is for him now and will be In 1888, while in 1884 the republicans were lukewarm and wavering. We have no other available man, save perhaps Gen. Sherman. But Blaiue, all things consid ered, is preferable and strongest. The Irish element is for him, as will be seen by recent editorials in the Irish World. He can carry New York another time. It was not so much Burchard’s blunder as the tompernnee voti* that floored us In 1884. Of the 30,000 votes that went to St. John 25,000 were republican and should have gone to Blaine. It was a fatal mis take that the temperance platform of the Richfield Springs convention calling for submission of the question of prohibition to the people was rejected by the republi can legislature. Had that, not been done the temperance vote would have stood with us and Blaine would have been president. The republican party must in practice be true to its professions if it would hold its natural voters and through them win vic tories in state and nation.’’ CLEVELAND’S DOES NOT CONTAIN AMMONIA, ALUM, LIME, OR ANY ADULTERATION WHATEVER. IT 13 A STRICTLY PURE GRAPE CREAM OF TARTAR BAKING POWDER. CLEVELAND BROTHERS, ALBANY, N. Y. EARTHQUAKES. In Philadelphia, recently, Prof. Edwin J. Houston lectured upon earthquakes. He said that scientists agree that the earthquake is a heat problem, but as to the extent of the heat and its origin there are two theories, both of which ac cept the theory of interior heat. The first theory takes for granted that the origin of the earth may be traced to a nebulous sun. The second gives physical •condi tions by which heat may be maintained. Cold currents of water on the bottom of the oceans and the movement of the earth through a cold atmosphere chills the surface and causes contraction. An observer has notes that from 1843 to 1872 there were an average of 575 shocks per year. The professor assured the audience that there was no danger of volcanic eruptions on the Atlantic seaboard. Thanks. Horse races and various other things are heat problems; but they do not snow the cause of the earthquake. The professor does not say how the earth can go out of the chill atmosphere and keep itself from taking cold. It requires a peculiar talent to canvass a congressional district effectually. Some of the men who are on the stump for congress now are not fit to canvas a ham. A Typographical Error. Ho was a traveling printer and being out ot employment, he hired himself out to a former. One day the former said: “I want yon to eet that hen.” “How do you want me to eet her, solid?” Railroad Extension. Just at present there seems to be a mania on the part of railroad manage ments for extensions, and the tendency of all the leading western systems seems to be to cover as much territory as possible. Besides the proposed extension of Missouri Pacific to Colorado the following named lines are stated to be in contemplation: The Cleveland, Columbus, Cincinnati and IndianopliB (Bee Line), it is again affirmed, will at once oarry out the late Gen. Devereaux’s plan of building a through line to Kansas City, bridging the Mississippi at Alton. Vanderbilt influences are stated to be working in connection with this project. The Manitoba is about to build a number of extensions in northern Dakota and Min nesota, which will virtunlly give it control of the country between t he Northern and the Canadian Pacific lines. TheiGeorgia Pacific has commenced work on filling the gaps which now exist in its line between Birmingham, Ala., and the Mississippi river, about 230 miles of road in Mississippi and western Alabama remain ing uncomple ted, The completion nf this line will give the Georgia Pacifica through route from the Mississippi to Atlanta. The rumor has been started that tliq Canadian Pacific, which at present uses tho Michigan Central to reach Chicago, is about to build a line of its own from the Detroit river to Chicago. This would give it a line between Montreal and Chicago by way of Toronto and London. In effect it would be the creation of another Chicago trunk line. Other rumors credit the Cana dian Pacific with having secured control of the Manitoba, and it is said that the f irouosed Chicago extension is to be fol- owed by a connection from Chicago to St. Paul.

This cut is an illustration of “GoJden'H Improved Iron Screw Colton Prea*,” erected in the most substantial and convenient manner. It is simple in construction, and so well illustrated by the cut, that scarcely a word is needed by way of explanation. Being simply an Iron Screw and Nnt substituted for wood, the wood work of its construction, and the manner of operating it, are substar stantially the same as in the old style of wooden plantation screw, but the timbers required are not so heavy or long. Most planters of experience prefer the wooden screw to any of the more modern Cotton Presses in use, but the difficulty and uncertainty of controlling labor and mechanical skill in the season of the year most convenient to the planter for their erec tion, usually renders it a matter of economy, as well as necessity, with him, to buy some kind of Press that requires but little mechanical skill to put it in operation. “Golden-h 8crew,” is a sort of compromise bet ween the old style of wooden screw and the modern Cotton Press, combining the principal advantages of the former with the convenience and economy of the latter. It can be operated with greater facility than the wooden screw, and the rapidity of its performance, like that of the wooden screw, or any other press, depends upon its management—as on the old style screws some planters would pack ten bales, and others thirty or thirty-five bales per day. Any ordinary 4nechanic who cau make a good plantation gate, or common plow stock, can do the wood work. Within the last eleven years we have made and sold a great many of these screws, and have yet to hear of the first one that has not given entire satisfaction. We furnish all the Iron Work for these Screws, of which we make two sizes, and fully warranted. SOUTHERN HOXE SCHOOL FOR GIRLS, FOR SALE, Terms most liberal.
