Onb ok the best workers in the present

William is a safe legislator and his fu

thus have the public helplessly in their

The count of the cash anil securities in
tie* treasurer’s office, which began May
23d, will probably is* concluded litis
week, as only the gold coin remains to
Is* counted. The funds on hand amount
t*> $9.7,000,000, of which #01,000,000
Mas in standard silver dollars, #27,000,-
000 in gold coin, #2,000,000 in fraction
al silver coin, and tlrn balance in notes
ami certificates. In examining the silver
vault several bags containing standard
dollars were found to be short two or
three pieces each. These were gradually
recovered, however, as the count pro
gressed, until all were found. So far as
known, not a penny’s deficiency has yet
Is‘**ii found.
In its inquiry into tin* number of per
sons affected by the labor troubles Ihis
year, Bradstreet's has ascertained that
in the six monte just ended of Ifß7
there were 723 strikes, involving 234,-
7.*! I individuals, against 109 strikes and
‘10*1,897 persons in the corresponding
period of 1880. That is to say, this
year th** number of strikes was 270 per
cent greater than last year,although the
number of persons made idle as a eon
s >qu**iiee is 36 percent loss than in 1880.
The average number affected by each
strick was 170 this year, as compared
with 18;)0 last year. The number of
strikers in the first half of 1887, as in
tin* same time in 1880, has been great
est in the transportation industries, al
though the building trades this year
furnished the most strikers, 03,400.
The disturbance to general trade this
\* ar on account of the strikes lias not
been so great as it was last year, nor
have I In* losses to the strikers themselves
liooii so large.
Tm: Wnfchington rom*spondent of the
World report* this alleged conversation
with “an official.’’ You si*', there is now
no longer any doubt that Mr. Cleveland
i-i a candidate for re-election, and he be
lieves that hi* fences are weaker in the
west than in any other section of the
country. The importance of the western
tour from a political standpoint has
been impressed upon Mr. Cleveland, and
that has had some influence in inducing
him to alter his plans again. The gen
eral expression of opinion, in the press
especially, in St. Louis and throughout
Missouri on Mr. Cleveland’s letter of
withdrawal, has given the president con
siderable satisfaction. Then the assur
ances from the people of the west that
they are really anxious to see him has
not been lost on Mr. Cleveland. When
he meets the St Louis or Missouri invi
tation committee here next week you
will find him in a yielding mood, lie
w ill accept their invitation and will prob
ably spend the first week in October in
St. Louis. Mrs. Cleveland will accom
pany him, and, so far as possible, the
plan for a general western t rip divided
on some time ago w ill be carried out.”

The following very sensible nml appro
priate observations are made, by Macon
evening papers, tin* News:—“The times
an* out of joint, both in chun k and
State. Men nearing priestly robes are
constantly defiling them with the sin of
um hast ity. Tim high otfl*-** of mmi.-t.r
is being frequently disgraced by some
erring brother, who thinks more of
things temporal, than those spiritual.
The church is brought into disrepute, its
influence weakened, congregations divi
de!], irremediable schism arise, and the
acts of tie recreant brother gives fuel
for the scoffer, and substance for the un
believer. It must be admitted, however,
that the officers of the church cling to
their pastor, with wonderful devotion,
and believe in his innocence, until his sins
become too glaring to longer defend.
A clerical roue is to us one of the very
worst characters in existence. Under
the cloak of religion, he wins the love
and favor of his victim and wrecks her
home circle and happiness, and his own
as M*ell.”
The talent and statesmanship of Tex
as seems to be somewhat divided on the
prohibition question. The prohibition
ists, however, have the advantage, at
present, in these two commodities. At
this moment in that state such conspic
uous democratic war-horses as Senator
Reagan, ex-Senator Maxey, Congressmen
Hare, Culberson and Lanham, and ex-
Congressmen Herndon and Wei beam, are
ardently in favor of prohibition, and
are, or have been recently, stumping
(he state in aid of that cause, while oth
er equally conspicuous democratic war
horses, such as (lov. Itoss, ex-Govs. Ire
land, Throckmorton and Houston, and
Congressmen Mills and Kilgore, are ac
tively and enthusiastically fighting
against prohibition.

STILESBORO
Corn is very fine, a great ileal is plant
ed this year, and a couple more seasons
at the right time will make the largest
com crop for many years. Yes, and then
we may expect better times, but never
until the farmers do raise their own corn
and meat at home, can they expect any
thing but hard times. Cotton also looks
fine. Well, enough on crops for the pres
ent, for that's the very reason wo never
get any more for cotton, because there's
always a set of jack leg farmers sitting
around the stores whittling on boxes
und blowing about wht a cotton crop
issuing to be made—that is, if it is all
like t heir's, and bless the Lord, if all the
crops Mere like theirs and the cotton
buyers and manufacturers knew it. eot
ton would advance one point a minute
from now until spring.
It was just like some one told you, Mr.
Editor; Tuesday was a rough day on
••arts at Stilesboro. But tin* carts hyve
, been meuded and polished up again right
j here in our town to look as good as new,
j and the clever geuts who own them are
I again ready to risk themselves and their
i best girls on a wheel each, let what hap
! pen that may. But tin* funniest, or. I
might say, most unfortunate, part of th*
affair, was this: One of the gents and
I Mr. Milam were on a horsetrade, and hi
had just taken John out to show him his
horse, and how gentle she miis. “Just
look here,” said he, “how 1 leave her
hitched to the cart; she's as gentle as a
lamb.” Hom- surprised lie and John
were, uhen leaving the horse and going
out to the train, to look back and see
her and a mule hitched to another cart,
kicking every jump, go Hying out from
between two stores, demolishing carts
and harness as they went. What odd
features and blank expressions a man
can sometimes see whhen lie lias no hi
st rument to take pictures with, such as
were seen on these young men’s faces.
But the sugar M as dropped, the carts de
molished, and the horse trade—it was
never mentioned again. But whether
tin* blame was ou the clever geuts for
leaving the horses hitched to the carts,
the railroad for scaring them, or “Old
Sunner,” John Milam's one-eyed British
bull purp, for trying to arrest the coun
try dogs and raising a row under the
horses* heels, the boys couldn't tell. But
“old Sunner” seemed to knou that John
Mils on a trade for that horse, and al
though he didn't say anything, he's an
awful “purp.” and is getting mighty
“bigity,” and if John don’t let him eat
all of the heart of a watermelon when he
takes one out to eat with his friends,
he raises cain with the hogs, cows, and
everything else. He is certumly a “Sun
ner” of a gun.
The threshing season is about over.
The wheat has been stored away mostly
at home this year, owing to the dull
sale. Asa general thing, the farmers had
the pleasure of entertaining the thresher
croud twice this season, owing to the
lateness of oats. Well, thresher folks
are not much trouble to you, and are a.
mighty independent set. All they ask is
to get the grain as fast as they can
thresh it, the tenth out of it, and to get
to sleep on the straw at uight, unless it
should rain. But, to take it all in all,
they are a very energetic, deserving set:
of course they are, when I used to be one
myself.
Mr. Dick Milam brought his mother
over to take the train Monday morning
for Childcrsburg, Ala., where she goes on
a few ueeks’ visit to her daughters. Dick
says now is the time, if the girl’s u-ant to
talk business to him.
The watermelons are beginning to come
in from the country, and it uon’t be long
before it will be cheaper to buy them
than to swim the river after them. But
some of tin* boys contend that they
won’t eat half so good.
Clever Tom Culpepper and wife, and
Miss Mason, arrived in town Monday.
After the ladies had done their shopping,
and Tom got through with his business,
lie loaded his watermelons and neat
home smiling. Tom comes next to
Rustic Henderson for the amount that
can be put on a buggy. But their cousin,
Jake Lindsey, can beat them both.

WHY HORSES SHY.
Defective Vision by the Prevalence of Cata
ract of the Ey*.
I have never met a veterinary surgeon
who knew any thing about “cataract id
the eye” in horses. I call it that as it is
an expressive term. The trouble is the
most general of any now affecting the
horses of this country. It is the cause of
nearly all, if not all, of the shying which
surgeons fail to find a reason for except
in “general cussedness.” This cataract
is of a brown growth, of a fungus nature
that spreads over the pupil of the eye,
from the top downwards. It has the ap
pearance of a sponge growing auay
from its hold. It is difficult to see unless
strong daylight falls upon the horse’s
eye exactly right. Then it can l>e seen
plainly, a silent evidence of the animal’s
defective eyesight. 1 have examined
horse after horse and with but two or
three exceptions out of about fifty 1
have found their eyesight thus affected.
Of course it is worse in some than in
others. It grows just like cataract or
cancer; at first just dawning ominously
on the upper edge of the pupil, then
gradually extending itself. I have
Matched it expand on my own horse
and its growth has been very
marked in even the short time of
two years. 1 have observed one tiling
about it that makes me certain that my
conclusions are correct. Every shy'n '
horse I have examined has, without ex
ception, been so afflicted. Never have I
seen a horse shy whose eye Mas not
clouded by this inexplicable growth. I
began to study this curious defect after
a long experience in trying to break my
spirited horse of shj'ing. I took him to
dozens of veterinary surgeons, but they
all said it Mas his eussedness. I used to
whip and punish him in every May to
break him of it, but I could not. Now I
remember how curiously he cocked his
head at a suspicious object just as a per
son with poor sight will try to get a bet
ter focus. Finally one day t lie light hap
pened to strike his eye right and I saw
the cataract. The u liole thing was plain
to me then. I have studied the matter
carefully since, and the Globe-Democrat
will be the first to say anything about
this prevailing effi*ct. If anything has
ever been published about it, and if any
reason can be advanced, I should like to
hear of it. Whether it is because of the
barbarous and cruel blinds which, by
shutting out the light and causing the
animal to look forward instead of side
ways, affect his eyes, or whether it is be
cause of dark stalls, I cannot tell. But I
am svre it is the cause of all the shying
and much of the stumbling that now
make driving and riding so unpleasant
and dangerous.—A Horseman, in St.
Louis Globe-Democrat.

A FARMER’S Clfl'EL DEED.
A Coot Confession of Murder ijiui hsis
Aroused tlie Populace.
All Indianapolis (hid.) special, of July
14, to the Fhiladelphia Dress, gives fuller
details of the following tragedy than
were contained in the dispatch to the
Morning News. The special says: A tel
egram from Jeffersonville states that in
tense excitement has been aroused there
by a murder committed on Saturday, by
Jackson Robinson, a Meal thy farmer, his
victim being Samuel Hay. Two public
meetings have been held and lynching is
openly advocated by citizens. To-night
Gov. Gray telegraphed to the sheriff to
take sueli steps as M ould secure the safe
ty of the prisoner.
Robinson last night made a confession,
remarkable for the indifference and bru
tality shown by the murderer. He said :
“One evening last week I Meat to Hays'
house to try and adjust our differences.
No oue mus at home but Hays’sister
and mother, and they used -ach lan
guage to me that 1 struck ihe old wo
man iu the back. She is 75 years old
and partly paralyzed. I also struck her
daughter. I thought of the matter un
til Saturday morning, when I decided to
end it for all time. Loading my double
barrelled shotgun, I sprang into my
wagon and drove towards the Hays
homestead. I met Hays and his sister
on the road about one hundred yards
from their home. I told Hays that I
had come to kill him, and if he And any
prayers to say, l>e quick about it. His
sister screamed and pleaded with me to
spare her brother's life, and threw hey
arms about his neck as if to shield him
from my aim. Her entreaties failed to
change my purpose.
“Placing the gun upon his sister's
shoulder, 1 pressed the trigger and saw
him fall back with seven bullets in his
heart. The blood spurted out over her
white dress and he fell back into her
arms. Not being positive that he was
dead I went over to his mother's house
and sat down on the porch to reload my
gun. In a few moments his sister came
up crying and said 1 hail killed lu ( *r broth
er. Then I jumped into my wagon and
drove home. I think I had a jierfect
right to kill him because he attempted
to defraud me out of a portion of my
property. lam worth over #IOO,-

A MUSIC BOX IN HER BUSTLE.
Why a Pretty Girl on the Mexican Border
Became Confused.
El Paso True Republican.]
Said a custom house inspector ♦lie
other day: Very few people think it is
wrong to smuggle, and if they can man
age to ship a few little trinkets over the
line unobserved they have no hesitancy
in doing so. About a week ago there was
a little excursion party in Paso del
Norte, Mexico, and I kept a pretty sharp
lookout. But one of the ladies I would
have passed almost with my eyes shut,
she was such a pretty girl and had such
an innocent, babyish face.
I had just asked her if she had any
dutiable articles, and she hail just said,
“Oh, no, sir,” when I heard a peculiar
muffled and whirring sound, and then
something tinkling out the old time,
“My Dream of Love is O’er.” It seemed
to come from under her skirts, and then
I remembered hearing of a clock striking
once in a woman's bustle, and tumbled
to the situation.
You see that innocent little thing had
bought a tiny music box in a case cov
ered with filigree work, and somebody
had suggested that she hide it under her
clothes. I can’t say exactly how she at
tached it to her, but I kiiOM* that she ac
cidentally touched some spring or some
thing and set the thing a-going. It kept
right on playing that tune until she got
it out, and then began to reel off “The
Blue Alsatian Mountains.” I thought
the woman would faint, and I heard her
remark to a friend that she Mould as

work infernal machine as to try the

Policeman W. J. Yorke of this city,

greatly inflamed and swollen. •In Febru
ary last, Policeman John King was bit

whom he hail under arrest. In two days
King's hand swelled, and then the infla
niation attacked his arms anil legs, and
for two weeks his life was in danger.
Since then he has been slowly recovering,
but is not yet able to put his right foot
on the ground. The negroes and some
whites declared that the negro hail blue
gums have poisonous bites. This belief
is generally held anil the colored people
have, it seems, an aphorism: “Don't
fight with a blue-gummed coon.” Much
interest was taken in King's ease, and as
soon as Yorke was bitten an examina

Dear Sir—l have used your Diarrhiea

sjieeial case came under my observation
which l consider remarkable: An old
man purchased a bottle from me and
with a single bottle cured six members
of his family who were suffering from
Diarrhiea and Dysentery. I could men
tion numerous other cases. Please send
me another dozen at once as I am entirely
out and have six or seven bottles already
engaged. It is truly a wonderful remedy.
