A GREAT NATIONAL DEMOCRATIC
NEWSPAPER.
2he Stab is the only New York newspaper
possessing tional Administration the fullest confidence of the Na¬
and the United Dem¬
ocracy of New York, the pilitical battle
ground of the Republic.
Jeffersonian Democracy, pure and simple,
is good enough for the St ar. Single hand¬

racy to redeem the government from

er Cleveland. It is for him now—forCleve-
land and Thurman— for four years more of
Democratic honesty in our national aflairs,
and of continued national tranquility and
prosperity. For people who like
that sort of Democracy
he Star is the paper to read.
The Stab stands squarely on the National
Democratic platform. It believes that any
tribute exacted from the people in excess of
the demands of a government economically
administered is essentially oppressive and
dishonest. The scheme fostered and cham¬
pioned by tlio Republican part-of making the
government a miser, wringing millions an
nually from the people and locking them up
in vaults to serve no purpose but invite waste
fulness and dishonesty, it regards as a mon¬
strous crime against the right of American jugglers
citizenship. Republican political
inayca'l it ‘•protective taxation;” the Stab’s
name fojsit is robbery.
Through and through the Star is a great
newspaper. Its tone is l ore and wholesome,
its news service unexceptionable. Each issue
presents an epitome of what is best worth
knowing of the world’s his.ory of yesterday.
Its stories aro told in good, quick, pictur-

The Sunday is as as

8kete% Artist and Camera.
“Kb, I do not think that amateur pho¬

said a well known Fulton street
dealer in artists’ materials a few days
in response to a question of a re¬
"While I do not say that the converse
that proposition is true, I* do know
a fact that a larger number of sketch¬
classes liavo gone into the country

It is a theory of mine,
I think, can bo really demon¬
that there is readily no reason
the sketch artist and the amateur
should not work in perfect
and that the union will be
to the benefit of both,
"I can give you an instance,” he went
on, "where the camera has been of un¬
service to one of the artists on a well
known magazine. Formerly this artist,
of more than local renown, used to
sketch wholly from nature, but now,
when making a tour through England,
Scotland, or where lie may chance to be,
be always carries his camera along, and
when he comes across a pretty bit of
landscape, a ruined castle or anything
else he wishes to preserve, he at ones
takes a negative. Thus you see that in
a few weeks’ time he can take hundreds
of negatives, while months would be con¬
sumed on his tour if he were compelled
to sketch pack view himself. When he
reaches home he throws the negative*
onto n piece of cardboard, touches them
up with India ink, then in some way de¬
composes the silver on the plate, leaving
the India ink drawing in its places The
drawing is then photo-engraved and is
published in the magazine as a bona fide
sketch, while, in fact, it is purely a piece
of mechanical work.”—New York Mail
and Express,
How to Test a tfuriftoom.
The mycophagist selects from wood or
field a specimen of toadstool whlcji by
its external appearance extends an invi¬
tation to try it. Hard, dry, leathery,
fetid, slimy, or decomposing ones are
left rigidly alone—as they should be.
Carefully removing the fungus from its
habitation, and after noting its botanical
characteristics, a small piece is tasted
raw; if it is nauseous, it is thrown away
and branded as non-edible; if it is hot
acrid, or bitter, a small piece Is cooked
without seasoning; if it retains aDy dis¬
agreeable qualities over the coals, it Is
branded in like manner; if it loses them
all, larger pieces are cooked and eaten
until the kind either gives signs of nox¬
ious qualities or proves to be harmless.
If the specimen is mild and pleasant to
the taste (a small piece) both raw and
cooked, tho same care is observed until a
full meal is eaten; and it is very neces¬
sary that it should be; for in one family
of gUl bearing toadstools—the Amanitas
—no sign either cooked or raw is given
of its deadly properties. This is the only
family to which deaths have been traced;
and tho botanical characteristics of
members must be thoroughly mastered.
There is no other method of testing
ia safe. Charms of salt and silver are as
Eseless as (he romances of the fortune
teller, and even worse; for, if
in, they inspire a confidence that
directly to serious results.—Charles Mo-
Ilvaine in Lippincott's Magazine.

A HORRIBLE AFFAIR.
Seven Negroes Killed at a Camp
Meeting by Whites
Birmingham, Ala., Sept. 11.—A
special from Kufaula gives an account
of the killing of seven negroes by
white men at a negro campmecting in
Henry county last night. The meet
ing was held near tho residence of
a white man named Mil'iurn, and the
negroes secured drinking water from
his well. Thursday Milburn refused
to allow this well to be longer used
by the negroes. When one of them
went for water he was informed of the
determination. The negro said he
would have at least a backet drawn
and started in the house for it. This
conduct was ebjected to, and the
white man shot the negro in the back
of the neck. That night negroes sur
rounded the house, shot a great
many holes in the door, and went
away. The following night the ling
leaders were visited by a crowd of
unknown white men and seven of
them were shot dead. No arrests
have been majle.
A Little Supper.
There is no telling what a little
supper can cost. An itemized ac¬
count of one of those petit soupers,
as the American novels call them,
reads romantically. The scene is
laid in Saratoga.
Col, Tom Ociltree, Mr. Law, and
some others were drinking Geyser
at the establishment on Broadway.
Along about 10 o’clock tho party
broke up, Col. Ochiltree and Mr. Law
adjourning to the rooms of the Sara
togo .Clab for a bird and a bit of
toast preparatory to going to bed.
While t^ere, Mr. Law thought he
he woald like to hare some wine,
and at midnight he handed Col. Och
iltree $1,000 and told him to tackle
the tiger. Mr. Law is in the habit
of doiug this, and if there is any
winnings be takes half. In a short
while the Colonel had won $1,000
and pushing the original stakes and
the winnings towards the banker, be
said he guess he would cash in. The
banker looked at him and replied,
•‘Excuse me, Colonel. I’ll cash it to
Mr. Law.** The Colonel was indiffer
ent, though Mr. Law would not have
it, and Col, Ochiltree continued to
play, lie was anchored to the tablo
all night and nntill 11 o’clock Sun
day Morning, wheD Mr. Law wan
out $ G,000. He gave bis check for
the amount, That was the begin
ning of the high rolling period.
Things were pretty lively on Sun
day evening and the following days
up to Thursday evening of last week,
when Mr Liw strewed diamonds
among those around him. Money
was also ipent on the race track
with his sporting friends. The
names of Mr. Law’s associates there
have been printed. It is known
that Mr Law staked them- They
understood bis role that they were
to have half the winnings. Instead
Mr, Liw dropped $5,000, which,
with the diamonds gifts and the loss
of $0,000 at fargo, and other sums,
made tho five days of that week cost
him close on to $10,000.

THE FLOOD AT AU6USTA.
The banks of the canal at Angnala
have given away and the city is flood
ed with water. The water is higher
than ever before, being thirty seven
feet seven inches, and has entierly
flooded the city. The people have
become completely demoralized and
some have been drowned. Business is
suspened, the stores, having been
en vaded by the rushing waters. Iffer
chants endeavored to save their
goods by placing them upon the top
most shelves. But, even there they
were not saved. The waters slowly
made their way until everything was
completely submerged. Houses
have been swept away, and are drift
ing about at the mercy of the tide.
The city certainly has our sympathy
and it is hoped that the flood will
