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 medical students to dissect. Baltimore Is intensely practical, and the science of medicine must be maintained no matter what it costs. 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. HOLIDAY GOODS! Xmas comes but once a year, therefore make happy the hearts of those you love and esteem.

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 REMEDIES are true in every particular. william j. McCarthy. 33 Poster 8t., Peabody, Mass.
