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¬ ed among the metropolitan press, it has stood by the men called by the great Democ- racy to redeem the government from twenty-five and years of Republican wastefulness For cortuption these four and despotism to the South. in its fidelity years past ithasbeenunswerv ing the administration of Grov¬ 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- eque Edglish, and mighty interesting read¬ ing they are.

What is the con¬ of one seems to be the concern of the not only the party directly aggrieved, onlookers also are very ukely to a band in cuffing an evil doer. The who is thus publicly cuffed feels sense of disgrace. Tho whole matter punishment most philosophically; having out to an offender, hobnob with him again on equal at once.—Thomas Stevens in New San. 8kete% Artist and Camera. “Kb, I do not think that amateur pho¬ is supplanting out door sketch- 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 summer than ever before, and, as a these classes have had a very large 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.

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.
