A Nbw York paper reports that Sena

ladies. They must have made the de
duction ornithologically from his quack
statesmanship.
They have taken to killing people in
Baltimore in order to got stiffs for the

Is intensely practical, and the science of
medicine must be maintained no matter

Captain Connors of the United States
■my with five soldiers was on the train
which was robbed three days ago near
Belleview, Texas, At the “solicitation”
of some tithid passengers, he ordered his
men to gurreuder their arms to the high
waymen without resistance. Captain
Connors deserves promotion. He ought
to be mustered out of the regular service,
and become a wet nuTse in a hospital for
email infants.
PiTTsniXHO ought to be a good place for
astronomers anxious to compete for the
prizes offered for the discovery of ’new
comets. The papers there relate that
every few nights comets are seen there
“in considerable abundance.” They
have been developed along with t'Vie
natural gas wells, and it is explained that
the effect is produced by the reflection of
burning wells and waste pipes on the
icy particles of the upper atmosphere,
particularly in cold weather. The re
flecting surfaces that present the appear
ance of comets are supposed to lie from
four to six miles high—doubtless on cir
rus clouds.
VACCINATUM INDIANS.
The amateur fracas that the Indians in
the Florida everglades have kicked up
has caused considerable discussion of In
dians generally by the newspaper press.
But in all the reminiHcenses that have
been brought to the front, it has not oc
curred to any of our cotemporaries to re
mind the younger generation how Gen
eral Jackson used to vaccinate them.
Ono of the main advantages which Gen
eral Jackson’s ammunition had over the
Homan candles, which the Floridians
along the everglade border are now wear
ing in their hip pockets, lay in the fact
that if one of his loads struck an Indian
in the toe or leg it was as sure to'reform
him in the long run as if it had struck
him in the head and sifted his brains
through a twelve rail fence. The modus
operandi was this: The climate of Flori
da being warm and tropical, General
Jackson seasoned his ammunition with
smallpox scabs in order to
keep it from spoiling. When he flushed
a covey of red skins in th’e everglades at
a long range, he frequently perforated
their legs with buckshotuntil they looked
like rusty potato graters, though the
dose appeared to increase rather than
impede their powers of locomotion,
skipping, jumping, whooping, and so
forth. After the Indians had somewhat
recovered from the flush they would re
pair to their country seats for repairs.
After arriving at his residence, the
Indian would tiptoe and peep down the
topofthe chimney to see if all was
right inside. Finding his wardrobe and
diamonds intact, he would seat himself
on the brown stone front with a sharp
stick in his hand to pick the buckshot
out of his legs. This performance would
last for several days. And
when the last buckshot had
been fished up to the surface, and the
Indian began to celebrate its arrival with
a green-corn dance (this dance is not
brought on by eating green corn as
among civilized nations,) he would see
his reflection in the brook that ran by
his door, and he would suddenly attract
his own attention. When an Indian
who has been wearing a copper-cent com
plexion from the cradle up finds all at
once that he has become as speckled as
a guinea hen, it is enough to make him
pause and think seriously upon where he
has been lately. The specks were noth
ing but Gen. Jackson’s small-pox scabs
performing their delicate mission. In a
few dayB the Indian is Btrictly not at
home to all callers. He is deceased.
A Brooki.v.n friend of the birds is be
wailing the weakness of the boycott de
clared by seminary young indies in this
city againhJ !he plumage of wild birds for
use in ornamental millinery. The shop
■windows still glow with gay feathers,and
men in the theatres still have to sit upon
their overcoats in order to see over the
top of the gaudy wings that give color
and altitude to the hat of the charming
creatures in frontof them. Severe meas
ures against the milliners are recom
mended to check tlie illegal traffic. But
if the Audubon society is in earnest it
should show ingenuity and originality
enough to make bird feathers unfashion
able. Unless this can lie done its cru
sade against feathers will continue as
wild and visionary as Don Quixote’s tilt
■gainst the windmills.
Cnoi.snA has not pursued its usual
course during the last two years. It
started out from India on its usual path
to Europe, but lingered in Italy, Spain
and the south of France through one
whole season without crossing to Amer
ica; and returning again the next season
began to spread to the eastward instead
of coming west. It has now crossed the
Atlantic, apparently, but has developed
in South instead of North America, the
Argentine Confederation being the chief
sufferer thus far. It would be interesting
to ascertain whether the course of chol
era has been affected by recent sanitary
improvements in cities and houses. It
has certainly developed in neglected
cities,and it lias failed to spread to others
which have in recent years been largely
improved,
If it he true, as the Glasgow Mail says
it is authorized to state, that Mr. Glad
stone is vacilating in his advocacy of the
Irish cause to the extent of expressing
disapproval of the anti-rent campaign
inaugurated by the national league in
Ireland, he cannot complain if sincerer
home rulers insist that Mr. Parnell is the
leader the times demand. Lord Hart-
ington, in his recent speech at tlio liberal
unionist conference, intimated that Mr.
Gladstone should rebuke Mr. Dillon and
others engaged in receiving ns trustees
the rents of tenants whose landlords do
not make the abatements they are asked
to make. Now that he has in effect com
plied with the liberal-unionist demand,
an attempt will be made, no doubt, to
reckon him among the supporters of the
government’s plan of prosecuting ten
ants’ trustees for conspiring to keep land
lords out of their rents. The grand old
man should be firmer.
lute free trade till they shall import
enough lumber, stone, brick, lime,
cement, hardware, tin-plate and window-
glase—all the “products of foreign pauper
labor’’—to rebuild their insured houses.
This New England habit of desiring
special exemption from the effect of their
own policy is not confined to Mr. Blaine’s
state. Thu only persons in the United
States who are allowed free trade in salt
are the protected Massachusetts fishing-
inastors. They are permitted to import
salt from all parts of the world to cure
the very cod, mnckerel and haddock
which are protected by duties of 20 to 30
per cent.
FROM NOItl'Il TO SOUTH.
Two real estate transactions announced
within a few days illustrate the move
ment of capital southward. Perry & Co.,
stove founders, of Albany, N. Y., have
just closed negotiations for removing
their entire plant to South Pittsburg, a
town on the Tennessee river, just below
Chattanooga. The works will employ
from KMX) to 1500 men. Several wealthy
New Hampshire manufacturers have
purchased the paper mills of the Barrett
Manufacturing Company at Augusta, Ga.,
and will enlarge them for the manufac
ture, on a very extensive scale, of book,
manilla and news paper. The property
purchased in addition to the mill and
site, includes 2000 acres of land, estima
ted to contain forty to fifty thousand
cords of wood. At Birmingham, Ala.,
Wednesday of last week, the Ensley Land
Company was incorporated, the declara
tion providing fora capital of $10,000,000,
a considerable portion of which was
promptly subscribed by northern capi
talists. The purpose of the company is
to build the town of Ensley, four miles
from Birmingham, on Village creek,
where the Pratt Coal and Iron Company
are building four furnaces.
These facts are all in accord with the
statement made by the Enquirer-Sun
on Sunday morning. It is true that with
a prodigal hand money has been poured
into the south, and while it has eclipsed
anything of the kind known in develop
ment, none of it, so to speak, has been
poured into Columbus. The only foreign
capital invested here is ths waterworks.
This is not as it should be, and our peo
ple ought to take some organized active
steps to have it otherwise. Let each and
every man see what he can do in this
direction.

WATCHMAKER AlISTID JBWELEB.
JAMES «. Ill,AIN*. JR.
James G. Blaine, jr., iB learning to be
come a journalist and haa taken a posi
tion on the Pittsburg Times, in which
his father owns a half interest. Hia
salary as reporter is $20 a week, and his
father “allows” him $1800 a year besides.
It is gaid that he is evincing considerable
talent for his new vocation. '
And now in the outset, it would be
well for this young man to remember
some of the rocks his father has split on,
and shun them like lie would the voice
of Seylla. He has, in recollection of his
father’s bad luck, no doubt resolved to
avoid giving a receipt for money received
in a shady transaction. lie has beyond
per adventure learned that planting too
many capital It’s in a row during the
summer months will be' apt. to bring
frost and a cold day generally in the
early fall. He lias concluded that to
bring suit for a libel against ttie pub
lisher of a newspaper whose hip-pockets
are overloaded with affidavits to prove
his charges is poor investment of time
and money. Me is convinced that writ
ing letters which would compromise oen'.-s
character if made public, isjbut the plant
ing of thorns in the pillows of slumber.
He knows that gunning for motes in a
rival’s eye will pan out a small modicum
of game as long as the beums in his own
eye are sticking out like porcupine quills.
If young Mr. Blaine really knows and
believes and remembers these little facts,
which it cost his father so much to find
out, be may make a great and good jour
nalist of whom it may be said when he
goes hence, “ lie lived and died beloved
and respected by all who knew him.”
Thisiquotation will necessarily be omit
ted from the obituary of his much-known
father. Yes, it is to be hoped that Jim
mie, junior, will steer clear of the snags
that have done the old man up.
HKItK IS INCONSISTENCY.
One day last week Mr. Boutelle, of
Maine, introduced a bill in the house of
representatives to admit all lsjnds of
building materials free of duty to the
town of Eastport, in that state, needed in
rebuilding the houses destroyed by a fire
on the 14th of October last.
In commenting upon the merits, or
rather the demerits of this hill, the Mis
souri Republican says Mr. Boutelle is a
protectionist; Maine is a protectionist
state, and the people of Eastport are spe
cially enamored of the protective policy,
of which they are beneficiaries. The
leading industries of tho place are ship
building and fishing—that’ is, catching
herrings and selling them to their coun
trymen as Mediterranean sardines. Both
these interests are protected by a high
tariff, and it may be added that the lum
ber interest of Maine is protected by
the same ingenious contrivance. It
is not unnatural, therefore, that
the people of Eastport and of
Maine should look upon a high tariff as a
particularly admirable thing. Imagine
the amazement of the house, then, wheu
this high-tariff representative from a
high-tariff state offered a bill to give the
people of Eastport the benefits of abso-
A CHILD'S SKIN,
Ears and Scalp Covered with
Eczematous Scabs and Sores
Cured by Cutitura.
flicted with Eczema of the Scalp, an< _
great portion of the body, ever since he was two
vears old. It began in his earn, and extended to
iis scalp, which became covered with scabs and
causing intense itching and di
his hair platted and lifeless.
Underneath these
came out and was destroyed,
until but a small patch was left at the back of the
head. My friends in Peabody know how ray lit
tle boy has suffered. At night he would scratch
his head until his pillow was covered with blood.
I used t o 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 Cuticuka Remedies, pre
vailed upon me to try them I began to uso them
on the 15th of January last. In seven months
every particle of the disease was removed. Not a
spot or scab remains on his Hcalp 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 Cuticuk v Remedies, and wish all similar
ly afflicted to know that my statement is true
and without exaggeration.
CHARLES MoKAY,
Oct. 6,1835. Peabody, Mass.
I have seen Mr. McKay’s boy when badly
affected with the Eczema. He was a pitiful
sight to look at. I know that he lias tried our
best physicians, and did all a father could
do for a suffering child, but availed nothing. I
know that the statements he has made you as re
gards tbc curing of his boy by your CUTICURA
