THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 11. 1886.
By George, your Uncle Abram Mewitt
has been elected to the Mayoralty of
New York.
Horizontal Morrison,of Illinois, lias
been defeated by a Republican, Jehu
Baker, for Congress.
A Bolivian coffee, that is said to in
toxicate, has been introduced in this coun
try, so says a Chicago special.
Throughout the entire cotton belt a
pretty fair crop of the fleecy staple has
been raised, and is being rapidly pot on
the market.
The dude policemen of the country are
in Washington city ; while on duly they
wear white gloves and carry canes—no
clubbers there.
TnERE is a banking institution in Bos
ton called the “Maverick National BanK.”
Their aim is probably to “carrol” the fes
tive Bland silver mavericks.
Disgruntled Democrats in Washing
ton charge the defeat of some of the Dem
ocratic candidates for Congress to the
apathy engendered by the passive policy
of the administration.
The carelessness of Democrats in not
voting in many places where elections
were held on the 2d inst. cost the Demo
cratic party more Congressmen than it
can well afford to lose.
Out near Santa Maria, Cal., Farmer
Shuman saw bees going in and outofa
crack in a big pumpkin on his place. He
opened the pumpkin and found eight
pounds of excellent honey within.
“The grandfather of 116 persons is cut
ting railroad ties in Yirginiafor a living.”
Suppose the ties of relationship with
thise 116 individuals were cut before the
old man commenced on his railroad work.
The reported defeat of Carlisle, of
Kentucky, for Congress, created a great
deal of excitement, and great relief was
experienced when the official returns
showed him to be elected by over 700
majority.
Hewitt was elected Mayor of New
Yoik by a popular vote of 90,296. George,
the labor candidate, received a vote of
G7,G99, and Roosevelt, the young Repub
lican candidate, had 60,392 votes cast for
him.
The Galveston News styles the Presi
dent’s private secretary, Col. Dan La
mont, “the managing editor of this ad
ministration.” The New Y"ork Sun
thinks that’s well enough, but it hardly
believes Mr. Cleveland can be called
“the editor-in-chief.”
McCabe, one of the New York in
dicted hoodie aldermen, who, together
with others, stole millions, has been ad
judged a hopeless lunatic. Justice has a
poor chance indeed when she has to con
tend with Canada on one side and the
lunatic asylum on the other.
Chas. Warren, of Allumelte Island,
has a most industrious hen turkey. She
laid a nest of eggs and hatched them out
last June. The brood was taken from
her, and she resumed laying again and
hatched out the second brood. When
these were two weeks old she began lay
ing again and is now laying an egg
daily.
M. Pasteur’s success in averting and
curing hydrophobia has been great, judg
ing from the report, which he makes to
the Academy of Sciences of Paris, France,
in which he says that he has treated dur
ing the past year 2,400 persons who had
been bitten by animals, and that out of
this number only ten had died. Seven
teen hundred and twenty-six of the pa
tients were French.
A farmer of Delaware county, Pa.,
much troubled by crows, soaked a peck
of corn in frhisky and scattered it near a
fence much frequented by the birtU.
They ate of it and got decidedly drunk,
and the farmer was so amused by the ex
hibition that he forbore to shoot them,
and after a time they flew unsteadily
away. The result was good. The crows
never came back. The heads they had
the next morning must have been of that
they desired.
Abram S. Hewitt, democrat, was
elected Mayor of New York city, Tues
day, over Henry George, the labor candi
date, Roosevelt and Wardwill. Eigh
teen out of twenty-four al lermen elected
are democrats. S. S. Cox, late minister
to Turkey, was elected to Congress from
New York city, and Ferry Belmont an
other democrat was re-elected to congress
from the first district by a small majority.
The adherents of Henry George in New
York city are much disgusted at his de
feat.
A good many persons, after consider
able mental difficulty, have been taught
to believe that when Robert Burns wrote
“Cornin’ Thro’ the Rye” he referred to
a little stream in the northwest of Ayr
shire, called Rye, where the lads were
given to lying in wait and kissing the
lassies as they waded througl*the stream,
their hands being employed in holding
up their petticoats to keep them out of
the water. Now comes Editor A. B.
Todd, of the Camuoek Express, who is
said to be an authority in Scottish litera
ture, who was boru a few miles from the
Burns farm, and was intimate with some
of Burns’ cronies, and he says that the
idea expressed above is pure nonsense;
that Burns never saw and probably never
heard of the Rye; that the description of
how Jenny “draigelt a’ her petticoatie”
doesn’t mean that she wet it in the water
of a stream, but bedraggled it walking
through dew or rain-laden grain. All of
which commends itself as being a sensi
ble explanation.

In signs of fire: ‘‘Let man be free!”

To Reason’s ways and Virtue’s aim,

Who shield’s his license with thy name!

DOUBLE LIVES.
From the Housekeeper Union.]
There is an old saying. “There is a
skeleton in everbody’s closet.” How
true we find this adage when we glance
inn the inner life ot those around us,
WLo apparently are so happy as to have
all that the heart could desire, and whose
supposed happiness we often envy ; but
like the old lady in the story from which
the adage is derived, we have our deepest
sympathies moved when we learn of that
closet in which a skeleton with its ghastly
vi-age, marks the presence ot some frus
trated hope, deeply buried trom inquir
ing eyes.
There are many more persons in this
world whose lives are double—one which
is known alone to God an 1 themselves—
than superficial observers are apt to
think. Many persons whom we in our
ignorance pronounced peculiar, proud
and ignorant, are only wrapping from the
gaze of the cold and critical world some
deep sorrow, some great mistake, tlie
ghost of some murdered love whieh
haunts them still because they love it
yet, but which they faerificed for filthy
lucre or some false worldly position.
There is many a husband who will
never taste true love, never have the
conti lence of the woman whom God has
given him for his companion, never
dream of the picture which forever
haunts her inmost soul, and is a retribu
tion to her all her after life.
Thousands of luxurious homes are to
day governed by just such women, who,
after the glitter has worn off the gold
they sought and which has turned into
filmy tinsel when in their grasp, learn
to loathe and have contempt from the
splendor and magnificence about them;
and if ’twere in their power would give
years of their lives to retrieve the past.
Thisis only one form the skeleton some
times takes —God only knows in how
many other structures it may he found.
In remembrance, 1 see a mansion,
sumptuously furnished, servants hurry
ing to and fro, and in the drawing room
of that palace a lady past her prime, who
smiles with a sad, sweet smile —a smile
so beautiful and sympathetic that all who
come and go instinctively love her, and
some even deem her hippy.
Lot us study that smile; let us go ffom
the drawing room, and watch her kneel
ing beside a drunken, loathsome looking,
young man, once that golden haired,
bright eyed baby boy from whom she
had expectations, expectations grand as
an. • **.
But now, what is he? A sot, a night
ly reveler; and all her pleadings and
tears are in vain.
Sisters do you envy such as these the
comforts that money can buy?
Let us think of the truth of that adage
when we are tired and discontented, and
inclined to think our lot the hardest one;
let us thank God that we followed the in
stincts of our own love, that we have no
wretched, double life to darken our
homes and make our lives a misery ; let
us look with pride and thankfulness
upon our noble sons and daughters, and
know that although our lives may he
obscure and humble, we have a blessing
which many wealthy women would
gladly exchange with us.
WASN’T IT TOUCHING?
Chicago News.]
“Hush! Not another word.”
Regally beautiful was Beryl Clearsides
as she stood beside Bertie Cecil in the
brilliantly lighted parlors of her father’s
Prairie uveuue residence that October
night when the glorious harvest moon
hung low in the western sky and the
baseball championship lav buried in the
dim vista of an unknown to-morrow.
She had been singing for him—this man
to whom she had given her heart such a
time ago in the soft June days when the
line and her ice cream-campaign dress,
a soft robe of the purest white, which
clung to her Dina-like form in graceful
folds, had sailed away into the great
unknown.
At first he had sung gay verses, the
sparkling harmony rippling from her
lips in a cascade of melody that held
Bertie Cecil spellbound at her art, but
after a little it seemed as though the
girl’s mood had changed, for when her
fingers had wandered idly over the
board of the instrument for a moment
she had bent her queenly head forward a
little, and there came to Bertie Cecil’s
ears the words of the old Scotch ballad :
Wtien the cows come home,
When the cows come home;
Meet me, darling, in the gloaming
When the cows come home.
It was at the conclusion of the last
stanza that Beryl had risen from the pi
ana and moved toward the conserva’ory.
“Speaking of cow's,” said Bertie, in
his rich, manly voice, whose every tone
thrilled Beryl’s being, so madly did she
love him, “reminds me of pleuro-pueu
monia. And it seemed to me, sweet
heart, that you, too, are in danger of
catching cold; you seem”
It was then that the words with
which this chapter opens were spoken.
“But why may I not speak?” he con
tinued. “Why may I not say to the one
who is all the world to me words which
may save her from suffering?”
“There is no need of cau.ion,” replied
Beryl, speaking in low, firm tones.
“But you may not know,” he contin
ued. “Perhaps you are not ”
“Believe me,” said Beryl, “there is no
daneer —none whatever.”
“But why ?”
The faint suffusion of a blush passed
like a wave across the girl’s beautiful
face as she leaned trustfully over Bertie
and said m low, melting tones;
“I am wearing my liver-pad.”
What True Merit Will I>o.
The unprecedented sale of Boschee’s German
Syrup within a few years, has astonished the
world. It is without doubt the safest and best
remedy ever discovered for the speedy and effect
ual cure of Coughs, Colds and the severest Lung
troubles. It acts on an entirely different princi
ple from the usual prescriptions given bv Physi
cians, as it does not dry up a Cough aud leave
the disease still in the system, but on the con
trary removes the cause of the trouble, heals the
parts affected and leaves them in a purely
healthy condition. A bottle kept in the house
for use when the diseases make their appearance,
will save doctor’s bills and a long spell of se
rious illness, A trial will convince you of these
facts. It is positively sold by all druggists and
general dealers in the land. Price 75 cts,, large

The First Keen Twinge.
As the season advances, the pains and aches
by which rheumatism makes itself known, are
experienced after every exposure. It is not
claimed that Hood’s Sarsaparilla is a specific
for rheumatism —we doubt if there is, or can be,
such a remedy. But the thousands benefited by
Hood’s Sirsaparilla, warrant us in urging oth
ers who suffer from rheumatism to take it before
the first keen twinge.
THE GREAT INVENTION.
The following additional information
in regard to the Mason Cotton harvester
will be formed of interest. It. is from
the Macon Telegraph of the 23 inst.
Judge Henderson, commissioner of
agriculture, returned this morning from
Sumter, S. C., where he was called upon
invitation of Col. Morehead and other
gentlemen, to witness and report on the
practical operation of the now celebrated
Mason cotton picker. The report of
Commissioner Henderson and the gen
tlemen associated with him was sent in
to the Charleston News and Courier last
night and a synopsis published in the
Associated Press this morning. Your
correspondent had an interview with
Judge Henderson to-day on the subject
of Mason’s cotton harvester. The Judge
was greatly pleased with the machine,
but alter careful examination and ex
periment, decision was reached that
there are yet serious defects which
should be, and will be, remedied. The
most important of these are : First, the
machine knocks oft’ considerable of the
matured bolls, leaving it on the ground.
Second, it does not pick clean.
The commissioner is of the opinion
that the invention is on the right line,
and that the needed improvements can
be and will be made. The opininon of
the committee was that in view of the
great interest now being taken in the
invention by the planting public it
would be unwise to bring it out on pub
lic exhibition until suggested improve
ments are made. To this end it would
be suggested and determined that the
cotton picker should not, as contempla
ted, be put on exhibition at the State fair
in Macon —for that reason and no other.
Commissioner Henderson is of the opin
ion that the invention is a most valuable
one to the South, an l that when it is per
fected its value will be immeasurably in
creased. Even if it should be able to
pick out two-thirds of the cotton the
value of it would be practically incalcula
ble.
A portion of the machine is on exhibi
tion in the Agricultural Department, and
is attracting great interest.
The committee visited the mechanical
establishment, fitted up in Sumter by Mr.
Mason for his work and experiments.
It i3 a small place, 20x30 feet, and is a
hive of industry. Mr. Mason has with
a half dozen skilled mechanics, who work
with him on his invention, and who give
him many practical and valuable sugges
tions. It is believed that he and his as
sistants will be able to make the impor
tant improvements tnat have been sug
gested.
An Earthquake at a Funeral.
From the Charleston Xtws and Courier.]
A most extraordinary incident took
plaee yesterday during a burial service
held in the Lazaretto at the quarantine
station. While the Rev. Father Wilson
of St. Mary’s was reading the beautiful
burial service of the Roman Catholic
Church, and just as his lips had given
utterance to the words, “And the earth
shall open and give up its dead, etc.,
the mighty and deep roll of the eai th
quake was beard approaching, the house
began to rock, and even the dead captain
in his coffin seemed to respond to na
ture’s throes, as the coffin gently swayed
though in response to the mighty voice.
The laces of the surrounding officers,
friends and crew portrayed, if
possible more solemnity, as though each
was looking for the last great summons.

The Atlanta Journal says: “A distin

J. G. Kitchen was shot and instantly
killed recently at Sterling, in Glynn

who is now in iail. Sheriff W. H. Ber

Look out for very cold weather. The

in large flocks for the past few days.
This is said by observers t> be an infalli

lieve they are reliable weather gua'ds.
It is a remarkable fact that birds, and
beasts know by instinct the approach of
stormy weather, and always protect them
selves by avoiding it as much as possible.
God has given even to birds and beasts
this knowledge. Who can doubt his

The Recorder’s insinuations against
the purity of Americus society are Clear
ing a sensational in that pretty little
town. The last issue of the Republican
says: “An article in the Sunday’s Re
corder is a most ungenerous reflection on
the morals and the character of the res
pectable people of Americus. Nay,
more. It is a slander upon the good
names of the fair daughters of our little
city that cannot be substantiated. If
Macon was stirred from centre to cir
cumference by the publication of slander
in the Cincinnati Enquirer, which gave
the names of its victims, then how much
more horrified should the people of
Americus be when the whole social fra
bric of her citizens are impeached, and
accused of being more leprous than the
vilest dens —or on a par with them—that
exist. Look at the article in any light,
it is a vile slander, and the traducer
should be made to feel the scorn of the
community he so vilely slanders.
Thinking Aloud.
From the Court Journal.]
Some years before his last illness Lord
Dudley was the gue6t of the late Mrs.
Cunliffe Offley. Sirs. Cunliffe was aunt
by marriage to the beautiful daughter of
Sir Richard Brooke. On coming into the
room Lord Dudley asked at once after
the lovely Miss Brooke, the present Lady
Meath, who during the previous season
had taken all hearts by storms. Sirs.
Cunliffe answered : “I suppose you mean
Harriett. She is now at home, but Mary,
her sister, is with the this year in her
place, aud among ourselves we think
Slary, though her beauty is of a different
kind, quite as handsome as her sister.”
“I dare say,” retorted Lord Dudley, in a
regular fume, “that is always the way
with yon women; if there’s one pretty
girl among a lot of sisters you will try to
poke the rest of them down our throats
over her back.”
Mrs. Cunliffe, being an old friend and
well are ot the Dudley eccentricities, was
not much moved by this somewhat rough
contradiction, observing only, “Well, it
is nothing to me, Lord Dudley, but that
is our opinion; agree with it or not, as
you please,.and now we had better go to
dinner.”
To dinner they went, and Lord Dud
ley, sitting opposite the new beauty,
very soon began talking to himself.
“Confound the old jade, I almost think
that she is right alter all; and n the old
hag, she is, indeed.” “What are you
talking about. Lord Dudley?” was not
the unnatural inquiry. “Well, Mrs.
Cunliffe, you see it had just passed
through my mind that your opinion as
to Mrs. Brooke’s beauty is quite justified,
and I suppose I have been saying to my
self how thoroughly I agree with you.”
After that, of course, there was nothing
to be done except to stop that sort of con
versation a- soon as possible.
THE COURT AGREED.
Texas Siftings.]
Maj. Gassaway, a prominent San An
tonio lawyer, is famous for his long
speches, They are so long they cause
his clients to get long sentences from
the exasperated jury. Recently Maj.
Gassaway defended a murderer and ad
dressed the jury off and on for the bet
ter part of two days. The jury gave the
man imprisonment for life in the peni
tentiary, and they would have given
Gassaway twice as much if they could
legally done so. When Judge Noonan,
who was on the bench, asked the doomed
man the usual question as to his having
objection to sentence being pronounced
on him according to law, the latter re
plied; “I think, your Honor, that the
time consumed by my attorney in ad
dressing the jury ought to be deducted
from my term of imprisonment.”
Judge Noonan said he thought so too.
NUMBER 41
GOV. SP it AGUE’S WIFE.
Wife No. 2 Publishes a Latter Severely
Criticising Wife No. 1.
A Providence (R. I.) special says: Ca
nonehet, the celebrated villa of Governor
Sprague, at Narragansett Pier, has again
been heard from. The fact that Mrs.
Inez Sprague, the present wife of the War
Governor, bought Canonchet after the
death of Frank 1). Moulton, and that a
Colonel George W. Wheaton, of Cincin
nati, has spent two years at the Sprague
mansion, appearing in public with Mrs.
Governor Sprague aud Mrs. Willie
Sprague, wife ot the Governor's only
son, and who is a sister of the Governor’s
wife, occasioned no little comment. The
gossips were further astounded when on
Saturday Colonel Wheaton announced
that he neld a mortgage on the entire
Canonchet estate, and, being about to
foreclose it, wanted to sell the property.
To-day this announcement is supple
mented by the following emphatic letter
from Mrs. Sprague No. 2:.
“To the Public: Since Cathei ine Chase
has been agitating the removal of her
father’s body she has beguiled interim
by entertaining reporters with reminis
cences and shadowing forth her charms,
assuring the public she married Governor
Sprague to further her father’s political
interests, thus martyring herself on the
altar of Mammon. A recent article in a
Philadelphia paper has been extensively
quoted, purporting to have been an in
terview with Mr. Sprague, but which,
emanating from the same source as the
rest, has demanded in justice to truth and
decency a denial in detail. By her own
confession, purity, refinement, and all
the other instincts of womanhood were
warped and blighted when she sold her
self to Governor Sprague. Treachery
and deeeit were the parents of disloyalty
and disunion, from which naturally is
sues treason and continual spite. I have
felt ever kindly toward her, for her ae
tions have given me the love of rhe no
blest and grandest of men, and I would
only ask of her to hesitate ere she brings
into connection with her name what be
longs wholly and entirely to another. I
do not object to her regaling her friends
by expatiating on her personal attrac
tions—if she permits her fondness for the
antique to carry her to such heights—
neither do I object to her reveling in past
conquests, if she can find listeners; but
I demand that she does not refer to my
husband in any form whatever. We ex
tend to her our unlimited pity, which
she ever and will always command.
[Signed] ‘-Inez Sprague.”
How to Live Long:.
The secret of long life has once again
been discovered, this time in Flanders,
and, if we read aright the meaning of the
announcement now made, there is noth
ing to prevent any one from becoming a
centenarian, provided he will do as he
is told by the erudite Dr. Barggraeve,
who professes physic in the University
of Client. Not only does the Flemish
professor proclaim long life to be a thing
attainable in certain circumstances,> but
at a rate so cheap that to any one ambi
tious of outliving his welcome in the
world, it would be folly not to accept the
gift. The medicine is not protected by a
patent, though the fortunate proprietor
might, by selling what most men wish
to buy, have grown rich beyond the
dreams of avarice. It is no elixr of
life, no Cagliostro’s drops, no foun
tain ot perpetual youth, such as that
which Ponce De Leon sought in Florida
and Sir John Mandeville drank of on the
shores of Malabar, albeit be digd of ar
thritic gout, the miraculous draught not
wirhstandingT* Dr. Barggraeve’s medi
cine is nothing more than common salt.
E tt salt in sufficient quantity, and, so far
as years are concerned, there is nothing
to prevent any one from becoming a Sir
Moses Montefiore or an Old Parr, or even
from reaching the age of Thomas Damme,
who is said to have died at 154, or of Pe
ter Torton, who declared though he did
not produce a parish register, that he was
close on to 184 the year before he made
up his mind to go over to the majority.
Salt, the Ghentish doctor affirms, is the
great panacea for every ill that flesh is
heir to. Good health, it is his opinion, is
not a matter of chance or constitution;
the laws which regulate human life are
very simple, all that we have to do is to
take care that they shall develop them
selves without obstruction. Salt will ena
ble them to do this. If the blood is
too rich, salt will purify it. If the
blood is too poor, salt will thicken it.
Culprits who have been punished by be
ing compelled to eat unsalted bread have
almost invariably died. The want of salt
caused the outbreak of a terrible epi
demic in Saxony, and Russian peasants,
when threatened by the plague, have
saved themselves by putting salt in their
milk. Cholera will flee from salt. Con
sumption can be mastered by it. Old aee
is comparatively powerless in the face of
two-thirds of an ounce of solution of
chloride a day. Therefore he invites all
to swallow his frugal physic, and, if not
tired of the world at three-score-and-ten,
go on living until centenarians are as
common as fools and insurance compa
nies are threatened with insolvency by
annuitants who continue on the funds to
an age for which the actuaries of the past
have made no provision.
Didn’t Know it Happened.
From the Hartford Times. 1
The Boston express, due here at 7:35
last night, was two hours late. About
ren miles out of Worcester the express
was running through a dense ground fog
when the engineer whistled down brakes
and stopped the train. He had smelled
something unusual and wanted to see
what it was. The train men found the
whole front end of the engine spattered
with blood. Part of a horse with a few
pieces of harness and shafts, lay on the
cowcatcher. Backing down for about a
mile pieces of carriage and harness were
found scattered along the track, and final
ly, anout ten rods from where a road
crossed the line, the passengers found a
few lap robes and the body of a buggy on
the track. A man was sitting beside
them. He had a whip in his pocket, and
was dlinking out of a big bottle when
the men found him. He didnjt know
anything about a smash up,' 'where his
horse was, or why he was sitting on the
ground, but he did know that he was
having a good time, and he didn’t see
what anybody wanted to ask him chuckle
headed questions for.
President Cleveland has had issued the
following notice from the White House:
“The President finds it absolutely nec
essary to the proper performance of pub
lic duties that the time between the 10th
ot November and the next meeting of
Congress should be at his disposal free
from interruption. Within this period
he will be abliged to deny himself to
itors except on actual public business or*
importance. This will not be construed
to include applications or recommenda
tions for office.
“This notification is given to the pub
lic thus early to dispose in advance of the
plea that a trip to Washington has been
made in ignorance of the President’s ar
rangement. The usual public receptions
\% o’clock on Mondays, Wednesdays and
Fridays will be continued.”
A Montreal doctor who had an an ac
count with a job printer agreed to take
his pay in work. After he had had all
the printing done that he needed there
still remained a balance, and, as his wife
was very sick, he decided to have some
blank funeral notices struck off with her
name on them. He locked them in- his
desk, his wife got well and found thenr,
and now she talks of cptting a divoreu.
