WitEiti! is the Blaino boom now ? Echo
answers where. lint it doesn’t tell where.
Tub American papers are fond of
mentioning Mexican hull fights as the
evidence of the semi-civilization of that
country. One of the Sullivan-Ryan
slugging matches tolerated over here
would disgust an audience of Mexicans
so heartily that they would mob the per
formers. When the Mexicans want to
see an exhibition of brutes they get four
1 egged ones. We can’t laugh at Mexico,
as long as John L. is a hero.
Wmi.B congress is quarreling over the
patent law, and while representatives are
contending that it is sacrilege to change
it, let them remember Hint the Bell tele
phone company, whenever it erects a
telephone in an office, clears about 5000
per cent, on the investment. That may
be according to patent law, but it isn’t
according to justice.
The perils that environ “the man who
meddles with cold iron” are nothing to
the ruinous risks that beset the unso
phisticated confidence of the man who
puts his money at the mercy of stock
speculators; witness the ups and downs,
the balloon flights towards the clouds
in Reading ten days ago, and the heavy
come downs in the same, which have
cleaned out the pocket-books and check
books of so many callow capitalists.
A niVIDED HOUSE.
The queen’s youngest daughter, Bea
trice (married not long ago to one of the
Batteuberg boys, of whom Prince Alex
ander, lately of Bulgarians the bed type)
is becoming a factor in British and Con
tinental European polities. Victoria con
centrates her motherly love on this
daughter ; the daughter was until recent
ly her closest and almost the sole very
close, companion; Beatrice has a little
will and opinion of her own ; being mar
ried to a Battenherg, she is thereby the
natural champion of that house and of
her husband’s manly, gallant and dis
tinguished soldier brother, a partisan
ship in which she is demonstrating her
influence with the queen.
The cgble tells us that the queen in
tliis matter is, opposing, and being op
posed by, the Prince of Wales, who is
married to a most accomplished Danish
princess, and the duke of E linburgh,who
is married to a Russian princess, sister of
the czar. The two British princes are for
Prince Ferdinand, of Saxe Coburg, of
course, as the proper person for the
vacant throne of BulgariiV; the queen and
Princess Beatrice stand by Prince Alex
ander. It will he interesting to observe
on which side tliis house,divided against
itself, will fall.
“I’l.AN OK CAMPAIUN."
The lord-lieutenant of Ireland having
by formal proclamation declared “the plan
of campaign” unlawful, and those en
gaged in carrying it out criminals and
conspirators, a sharp contest between the
government and a section of the nation
alists is evidently impending. The ar
rest of persons engaged in intercepting,
as trustees, the reduced rents which the
tenants thought they ought to pay,'and
which the landlords declined to receive,
will probably be the next step. That
the trustees can be convicted before any
available jury of criminal conspiracy is
thought to be rather improbable. Should
the prosecutions fail, a caso will be
made up according to lib
eral-unionist and tory opinion upon
which to ask parliament to authorize re
course to some mode of trial other than
trial by jury. Legislation of that kind
would of course be firmly opposed by the
eighty-six nationalist members and by a
portion of Mr. Gladstone’s following. If
recent utterances of some of the leading
Gladstonian journals are trustworthy in
dications of opinion, a section of the
English home rulers hold the legality of
“the plan of campaign” in doubt. Par
liament will therefore, it is thought, after
an exciting debate in the lower house,
pass the government’s proposals for the
enforcement of the laws in Ireland by a
majority somewhat larger than the ag
gregate strength of the unionists,
a ri,v«.ium:» Indian.
The noble red man of fiction is more
peculiar and gloomy than grand. Feni-
muro Cooper’s novels paint him as an in
spired demigod, with whose nature the
savage had been mixed only to render it
romantic and earthy.
New York city has recently furnished
a novel sensation, in which a buck In
dian is the actor, if not the hero.
The Fenimore Cooper Indian is roman
tic, redolent and grand; the real Indian is
a lazy, lousy loafer, with no emotion
beyond revenge, and no appetite beyond
physical food. But to relate the New
York incident.
“In no small experience the writer has
never yet seen a white woman willing to
own an attachment for an uncivilized
Indian, although many white men are
married to squaws and are happily
mated. An exception to the rule was
reported recently, when a pretty young
girl of Brooklyn fell in love with one of
the Sioux savages attached to Buffalo
Bill’s Wild West show, now exhibiting
in New York. They went to ft magis
trate in Jersey City to bo married, but
the official refused to perform the cere
mony. The girl was well dressed and
apparently educated and refined, arid her
demeanor was modest and ladylike. Her
name was Annette Copeland. She was
17 years old. The Indian was dressed in
a claw-1 l.ammer coat and plug hat, with
light colored trousers. He looked more
like a tawny mulatto than a Sioux brave.
I lis stage name in the show is Cloud
Foot, whatever his real patronymic may
be.
“The judge questioned them, and from
what they said it appears that the girl,
who is very pretty, saw the Indian last
summer at Staten Island when Buffalo
Bill had his troupe there. She fell in
love with him and he with her. AVliilc
the show was there she went to the
ground nearly every day. The season
ended and lie left for the west, but as
soon as lie arrived at Madison Square
Garden, a lew weeks ago, their frequent
meetings were resumed. They decided
to elope. Several clergymen in New
York were asked to marry them, but all
refused on account of the girl’s age.
Tired of refusals in this city, they went
to Jersey City. Judge Weed refused
to marry them. Cloud Foot offered
him $50 if lie would perform the cere
mony, but the judge would not change
his mind. Cloud Foot and she then en
tered the carriage, were driven to the
ferry and crossed to the city.
“If Mr. Cloud Foot is a genuine Indian
ilia white shirt front and Bhiny beaver
hat have destroyed all the romance that
was in him. No proper son of the prairie
can survive such treatment and be a hero
still, and the wretched girl will find that
her love has been wasted. The wooden
dummy in front of a tobacconist’s shop
is a better Indian than the fellow in
lavender pants and a black dress coat. He
must bo a fraud.”

It is presumed that the visit of Mr. Henry W.
Grady to New York has been highly successful,
as the Constitution of yesterday says:

seems to be very much interested in an imaginary !
move to start another morning paper in Atlanta. I
There is no better place in America for a morn- |
ing paper, as is demonstrated by the success of j
the Constitution, but the person who wrote the ;
news to the Telegraph could have easily found .
out that he was dealing in fiction by simply ad
dressing a note,to Mr. Pulitzer or to any proprie.
tor of the Constitution.
The Central Fight.
The Atlanta Constitution of yesterday contain
ed the folllowing ns a special from New York:
A gentlemen who is high in position, and in
the confidence of Gen. Alexander’s friends, said
to-day*.
“General Alexander is already elected presi
dent of the Georgia Central system. All that is
left to do is to cast the vote. He has over 34,500
votes that will go for him in a solid block, not
counting a single vote he will pick up. The fight
is absolutely whipped, and his frieuds have quit
bu> ing stock.”
I quote this gentleman’s words. General Alex
ander is here, and is equally confident. He says
his election is now assured beyond the shadow
of a doubt. Tliis opinion is reiterated on all
sides.
There is a lively interest in the fighi in finan
cial circles here, the drift being almost entirely
for Alexander. If lie is elected there are some
surprises in store for the people of the south.

Ears and Scalp Covered with
Eczematous Scabs and Sores
Cured by Cutitura.
My little son, aged eight years, has been af
flicted with Eczema of the Scalp, and al times a
great portion of the body, ever since he was two
years old. It began in his ears, and extended to
bis scalp, which became covered with scabs and
sores, and from which a sticky fluid poured out,
causing intense itching and distress, and leaving
liis 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 ot 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 a
spot or scab remains on his scalp to tell the story
of liis 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 cur*
by the Cuticura Remedies, and wish all similar
ly afflicted to know that my statement is true
and without exaggeration.
CHARLES McKAY,
Oct. 6,1885. 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 has 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 the curing of his boy by your CUTICURA
REMEDIES are true in even particular.
