We are reliably informed that
when the lawyers and witness from
•this county in the Cornwell case
arrived in Louisville they found
great excitement prevailing. The
hotel would not at first give them
accommodations, and the jailor
could not be found, nor the attor
neys for the defense allowed
see their clients. It sec-ms that
' Mr. Morbrmlin, the so-c.dled de
t.ctive, had to and the peo]'Je that
our county was inhabited by a
band of. five .hundred outlaw v, and
were pretty hard cases generally.
In addition to this some obi* at
Wadley sent a telegram ahem I of
Screven delegation stating tin it a j
mob was on their way to Lo uis-1
ville to rescue the prisoners. J his
fielded fuel to lhejteme ; and wlj en
the crowd, containing a number of
" our best citizens, arrived in Loui. v '
Vule they were somewhat aston- j
fiit-0.1 at.the manner o f their re- {
We wilf say to the peo-1

Voto for the Nominee of the Party
Ah a mem lx r of tlio Democratic!
patty, ns a member of t'<o Congres
sional democratic executive commit
tec. and as a member of thb Marion
county Democratic executive commit
ter, wo urge the Democrats to pause
and think whither I hey are tend ng.
Wo learn that some persons have tak
on ofl’cnco at our earnestness for the
success ol the Demnorntic nominees
and say we should remain neutral.
We suppose il wc wi re to advise peo
ple to vote for their lriends they
would think wo did well. Is tin
Democratic purty tlm party of your
choice ? Then support it. Do you
like its principals? Then sustain
them. Do you think there can be
success ol parly and triumph of prin
ciple in division ? if not then stand
by tlm nominees o( the party. Would
you dep'oro the triumph of other
parties and principles? Then uphold
your own. If you claim abuses have
been continued in Iho patty have
you any evidence that abuses do not
exist in all other parties? If you
oppose the nominees of your party
you strengthen the abuses in your
own party and weaken those of the
party or faction to which it mav ad
here. The legislative race is anything
but satisfactory to anybody, and
should the and( inocr .t-.be defeat 'd they
can console themselves that their own
divisions have caused it. Let inde
pendent ism and every other success
except that of the democratic pat ty
be held in contempt. Rally to the
to the nominees of the party. Op
pose everything arid everybody win
would ovetl.r.iw your principles and
the Democratic party, li the prin
ciples ot Democracy are Lue th n
division will weaken them. If in un
ion there is strength,in dviision there
is weakness. We urge upon all Idem
crats to supp rt Bcchannan for Con
gress, Butt for Senator and Story for
Representative, Theysreycur par
ty nominees. To vote against them
is tr vote against your party.

A (Tutors Japanese Custom A
correspondent of the Japan Mail
has written a letter to that paper
giving some info, luatioii about a pe
culiar kind ol earth which was taken
I trout small valley ol T.- - it 1 >n ■i, in the
Island of YVsso, and which is used
by the Amos, or Hairy Men of Hit 1 ,
northern ptu t of llm is-laml, as foot!
or rather as tv si Institute b r food.
This earth is made of a light gray
c >lor and is made into a
hind of soup, with lilies and water.
I It is naturally onion on’y by the
most abject ol the poor, us no ap
preciable amount of nu riiueut is
found in clay itself and the utmost
it Cali uo is to allay the craving ol
hunger by distending the stomach.
A great many uncivi i/.od, semi
civilized races of nun, have been
compelled by tho sad condition of
their lives to l’CSOit to eating dirt.
The Japanese Cat a city which very
much resembles that used by tin.*
Aios, but is richer in .silica. In Lap
land a micaceous earth is made into
a substitute lor bread. In tho south
of Persia, a kingdom which is to-day
stricken with famine, a day is found
containing carbonates of magnesia
and calicutn. In .Ifrica, war and
proverty having left tho deepest
traces, the negroes arc clay eaters,
and the savage tribes of North
America are to he ranked in the
same class. In races not so abject,
a custom commenced through ne
cessity is continued through habit
or fashion,and we read that Ja
pan, while the ladies cat cakes
made with red o!ay for the pur
pose of fattening themselves, the
men use the same and rt to produce
the opposite resuif.
Ages of Celebrated Men.
“Hippocrates, the greatest phy
syciaa the world ha- tear seen,
died at the age of 10!), in the is
land of Cos, his narivo country.
Galen, the most illustrious of ids
successors, reached the age of 104.
The three saggesof Greece, Solon,
Thales and Pittacus, lived f>r a
century. The gay Democritus
outlived them by two years. Ze
no wanted only two years of a cen
tury when he died. Diogenes 10
years more; Plato died at the
age of 94, when the eagle of Ju
piter is said to have borne his soul
to heaven. Xenophon, the illus
trious warrior and historian, lived
90 years, /'oiemun and Epiehar
tnus 97 ; Lyeurgus. 85; Sophocles,
more than 100. Georgias entered
his 103 th year; and Asalcpiades.
the physician, lived a century and
a half, Juvenal lived 100 years;
Pacnvins and Vann, hut one year
less, Car nodes died a! 90, Galileo
at 68, Cassini at 9 g and Newton
at 85. i’ontondle expired in his
99th ye tr, Butt’ u in his 81st, Vol
itare in his 84th. In the present
century, Prince Talleyrand. Goe
the, Rogers p.r.d Niemccwioz are
remarkable instances. The Car
dinal do Pelloy lived Dearly a
century; and marshal Moncey ter
minated a glorious career at 85.
