healthy. It says: “Thousands of Ropub-

full of kicking Demoomts; there ore signs
of all sorts of free kicking intho labor

shadowed in liquor circles. Tbe plain truth
is that tbo people are gittlng bigger all the

The Salt Lake Tribune says that the fol

the name of Jeans Christ, the Son ot God,
I do covenant and agree to support the

right or wrong; I will faithfully guard
them, and report to them the acta of a'l

evil of the Presidency or 4ho heads of the

The delay ot tho two Democrats recently
appointed in Savannah to tako their offices
is thns explained by a Washington special
“To-day two bonds were returned to their
maker* necanse of certain informalities. It
so happens that they were both from the
same city. A few days before the Prssi
dent left Washington tor the AdiroUdscks
ho yielded to the appeals of the Georgia
Congressmen and appointed a Democratic
collector of customs, J, F, Wheaton, and a
postmaster, G.‘ W. Lamar, at Savannah.
The former, in preparing his bond, failed to
insert a data where one should have ap
peared, so that when this omission was dis
covered at the Treasury Department to-day
there was nothing to do bnt to return the
document to Collector Wheaton, thns delay
ing his entry into office at least a week.
Postmaster I.umar was so anxions to pre
side over tbe postal attain at Savannah that
bo neglected to sign tbe oath contained in
bis bond, hence the document is practically
worthless nntil bis signature is inserted.
Departmental officials state that similar
mis takes and omtogions are of freqnent oc
currence, and they are principally dne to
tho carelessness ot tbo notaries to whom
the doty of preparing the bond is entrusted."
Da. An sew, on* of the anrgeons who at
tended Garfield, gives this as tbe probable
'secret of tbe Keely motor: “I do not know
whether to believe or disbelieve Kecly'i
claims. He says ha disintegrates atm os-
pherio air by sound vibrations, and I am
not sun that he has not discovered some
new force with unknown' properties, for
know the power ot vibration. When a man
is struck on the head with any heavy instru
meat and the skull is fractured, it is not
fractured where the blow falls, bnt at
point where the vibrations concentrate, say
at tbe lower end of a triangular bone. So
physicians often, find ths strongest bone in
the skull fractured by • blow that never
touched it, but was struck upon the top of
tho head. Let me tell you another in.
stance of tho power of vibration. The
tramp in uoiaon of a body of troops over
a strong bridge, if there are a Urge
number of soldiers in line, will break the
bridge down. This U on account of the
vibration* increasing in intensity as ths
troops keep pasting over the bridge. An
important bridge in Franca once fell from
this cause. It U the custom now to ‘break
ranks’ when troops cross long bridges. We
have experimented st the University Hos
pital upon tho power of vibrations to break
sknUs where the vibrationi concentrate.
Again and again when a blow was given at
different spots upon the summit of tbesknll
some bone wss broken farther down, where
the vibrations connected. At Keely’e exhi
bition, though I dU not stay very long, I
saw enough to suggest the probability of

A Challenge to Sailor*.
We receive daily accounts of tbe yacht
races near New York, where a little run U
made outside fora few hours and everybody
comes home, after a pleasant day, in time
to have a good dinner and get to the theatre
before the first act is over.
But the New Y’ork sailors are invited to
something stiller than this. The New Y’ork
Herald says:
“Lieutenant Henn has thrown down the
gage of battle to the four big sloops. He
invites them to meet tbe Galatea in an ocean
race from Sandy Hook to Bermuda and
back for a cup. It is true that be chal
lenges “any single-masted American yacht,”
bnt it is clear that be is aiming at the four
large ones. Mr. Henn thinks that such a
match would be likely to test tbe sea-going
qualities of tbe vessels participating, and in
this opinion he will find many backers.
“We hope that Mr. Hcnn's challenge will
be accepted. Of course, a race to Bermuda
and back in the fall is anything bnt a pic
nic, especially if the boats encounter one of
the old fashioned gales which have a knack
of hanging around tbe island and bursting
in sudden fury. Bnt the risk of being
cangbt in a hurricane even should not deUr
ns from meeting Mr. Henn's offer in tho
same spirit as that in which it is made. YVe
therefore trnst that, for the honor of
American yachting, the Galatea will find an
opponent ready and willing to sail the
match and prove to the British that onr
yachts are seaworthy as well as swift”
Secretary Manning Ia Done For.
A prominent physician of Washington,
who was called in conanltation in Secretary
Manning’s case, says that it is a great sur
prise to him that the newspapers keep talk
ing about his return to tbe head of the
Treaaury. He says that Secretary Manning
was stricken with paralysis, and that he
will never be able again to endnre any ex
citement or hard work.
’YVhy," said the physician, “a week in
the Treasury Department as its chief wnnld
be curtain to bring a return of tbe disease,
and tbe second stroke would bo certain
death. He is too wise and his physicians
are too honest to permit him to do anything
so fatal.”

’’—From the French,
Vermont is a prohibition State, and yet
this is the condition there, as described by
recent letter writer: “The only real effect
of the prohibition legislation, so far as the
prevention of the sale of liquor is con
cerned, is shown in the small towns and the
agricultural communities. There are a num
ber of small places in Vermont whore liquor
is not sold, and where any attempt to sell
it wonld bo met with punishment. But in
all of the towns of any size liqnor is sold
openly and freely. The saloons ore nearly
always carried on under the cover of res
taurants. Yon will not see a liqnor sign
anywhere. The most marked feature of
the effect ot these prohibition laws is the
vile quality ot liquor sold. The sale of li
quor being in real violation of law, very
few responsible people care to engage in it.
There is no place in tho country where snob
vilo Uquon are sold as in the Btates where
prohibition laws rale. The beer sold in
Rutland was analyzed by a chemist the
other day, who said that it was strongly
adulterated with resin. It is one of the moot
horrible decoctions that ever was pot on
the market. If all the liquors in the world
were like those sold in Y’ermont there would
be good reason for the moat rigid enforce
ment of laws prohibiting their sale. They
are the vilest of vile adulterations, and ore
sold to people who drink them behind the
hack doors with the gusto with which peo
pie enjoy sets that are forbidden.”
A Dakota man sends this to the Patent
Office: “ I respectfully request you to in

New York Star: A foolish story has been
truing tbo rounds of the press that General
Lee’s free trade views have rendered his
nomination impossible. General Leo is a
pronounced tariff reformer, but suffers none
because of that fact. He is in exact accord
with the sentiment of bis State on that
point. Every representative from Y’irgiuia
voted for the last Morrison tariff bill, and
the most prominent issue in tho present
campaign there is the redaction of tho tar
iff. The only trouble, as is learned from
the most trustworthy authority, is that cer
tain enthusiasts working in General Lee's
interests, have based their case too much
on tho sentiment attaching to bis illustrious
name and not sufficiently on the individ
ual merit of the man. Although plain
and unpretending, passing his days in
quiet on his farm, he Is yet said to be a man
of liberal views and wide information, and
well equipped for publio life. IIo is 50
years of age, and bears a strong resemblance
to bis father.
THE RUSSIAN SUNFLOWER.
A Great Stock Food and Valuable Farm
Product for Georgia.
The country around Thomaiville is noted
for its experimental farming, and valuable
discoveries have resulted therefrom, which
have proven of great advantage to this
thrifty section.
At present a great interest is manifested
in the new industry of growing tho Russian
sunflower. Unlike the manv new innova
tions which have been made in our farming
products, it has proven a most decided
success. Its introduction promises n most
valuable addition to our grain crop, and fills
a long-felt wont in tho way of a feed for
horses, cattle, poultry, and stock of all
kinds. It resembles very mnch the ordinary
sunflower, hut ia much mule massive and
vigorous in its growth and contains more
nutrition.
I will not go into the history of it, for it
would require too much space; and, then,
it's name is suggestive of its nativity.
Its yield is marrelons, on good ground
producing as much as one hundred bushels
of seed to the acre, and requiring no more
cultivation than corn.* It is grown to a
great extent in the extreme Northwest,
where the seed and leaves are used for
stock feed, and where fuel is scarce the
stalks are used for burning. Stock of all
kinds aro extremely fond of it, and when
horses or cattle are fed on it their hair be
comes sleek and glossy.
It also produces a very superior quality of
oil, far excelling in all reepccts that made
from cotton seed or groundpeas, and pro
nounced by experts as a dangerous rival of
olive oil.
Speaking of the size, I measured two
flowers of it taken from the field of Col.
William McLendon, of this place, and one
measured three feet four inches, and the
other three feet five inches in circumfer
ence, and about fourteen inches
across the face of each of the flowers.
Tbo Beed are large and striped
■*>nd aro said to be proof against tho great

While a new thing in this country, it has
proven a perfect success in its growth. Its
merits have been thoroughly tested and its
great value os a crop is assured.
No farmer should be without it, os its
market value is established, and it is in
finitely superior to any other grain crop,
either os a feed or money crop. Fabueb.

The meat peaceable and dangerous man

wouldn't hurt a tty, and everybody is afraid
of him. About a year ago he was cutting
wood when the axe flew off tho handle am
killed a man who had come to pay him $50,
He never got a cent of the money.
The next week, while ferrying a friend
across a river, he ran the boat against
sung and his friend was drowned. About
mouth later he felled a tree on a stranger,
who was lying asleep in tbe woods, killing
him instantly. Not long after he shot a

Milas, Italy, July 28.—Editor Tele-
obapb: The great and entirely level valley,
in the .midst of which is situated this beau
tiful city, is in striking contrast with the
fugged scenery from the French border to
Turin, or the equally irregular landscape
around Geneva and rnaDy miles towards the
interior. As far as the eye can reach for
hours of travel in any direction from Milan,
not a ripple in the green surface can be de
tected. The cultivation is perfect, and
every foot of land is in dress parade order.
During the summer it seldom, if over, rains
here, three months often passing without
even a shower. Hence a thorough system
of irrigation is maintained; the land is di
vided into squares of a few acres each by
ditches, suv ten feet wide by four deep, into
which wator is kept runniog by means of
races aud gates from the nearest streams; and
ail across these larget divisions are smaller
subdivisions of a few square rods made by
little narrow ditches, and these gradually
diminish in size, until in some fields aro
little minaturo squares of a few yards with
ditches a few inches only in width and
depth. By closing a gate at one end of a
field in a larger ditch, the water ia backed
out into all these little subdivisions, and a
field is as thoroughly watered as if a heavy
rain had fallen. Thus, there is always j ost
enough water, and in consequence the
beauty of the growing crops is something
wonderful to one who has all bin life heard
growls and croaks about freshets and
droughts alternately the yenr round.
The road-bed of the railways Is n con
tinuons embankment a few feot high all
through this conntry, and is kept green
with grass or shrubbery or vines np to tho
cross-ties. Tbe wagon roads, at frequent
intervals, aro clean white pikes, macadam
ized like a shell road, and can bo traced for
miles by the doable rows of evenly trimmed
trees that are planted along each side.
These trees are always close together and
very tall, generally Lombardy poplars, while
along either bank of tbo canals are planted
single rows that are topped and made to
spread out and lap over the water between.
Yvherever the turnpikes cross the railways,
and the crossings here ure very numerous,
the road slopes gradually for a hundrod
yards on each side upwards to the track,
whioh has double gates, to be closed when
trains approach; And right adjacent always
stands a neat stone gate-keeper’s cottage,
shaded by a clump of trees, vines and shrub
bery.
EOGS-ACTINO FBOTEOTIYK TARIFF.
Pretty little villages at frequent intervals
are s.-en, and always prominently towering
are the cathedrals, whose spires can bo seen
in overy direction. The houses become
thicker, indicating tbo proximity of a Urge
city, and soon tho little train of wagon cars
rolls up into a handsome iron and glass
station, about four times the size
of tho Macon corshed; and
have reached the far-tamed city,
which the Italians call “Milano.” Tho sta
tion and a large part of tho city, or rather
suburbs, nro outside of the walls: for Milan,
like many European cities, is entirely sur
rounded by a fortified wall or line ot earth
works; on entrance U made through gates,
which ore guarded by soldiers. Here wo
havo an instance of tbo protective tariff
brought down to a fine point; for as wo roll
up to the city gates in the stylUh omni-
busts of the Grand Hotel de Milan, wo nro
halted by a lot of highwaymen, that is to
say, customs officials (synonymous terms
over here), who come into the vehicles to
examine our baggage for eggs, batter, poul
try, fisb, vegetables or produce, aa tho case
may be. And when we solemnly affirm
that we are not running a perambnUtory
bashery on wheeU, and are not engaged in
the underhanded business of taring to

Can’t we get a pointer from Itlajy?
MODES* MILAN.
Thongh we read of Milan as of a city of
past generations, it looks fresh and new
and modem in style. There is nothing an
cient and quaint about it, os in Genoa, ex
cept here and there a chnrch or monastery.
In trnth, this city keeps pace with the pro-
gresa of the age, and is by no means an old
fogy interior station town. It has a popu
lation about equal to Cincinnati, and la not
far behind the qneen city of the YVeat in
general appearance. The “YTia del Y’ictor
Emanuel” ia as fine a street a* almost any
city in the North can show, and many other
streets mnch resemble New York or Phila
delphia in style and general appearance. It
look* rather strange, however, to see a
thriving place like this, whose business im
portance and thrift depend* solely upon
the extravaganoe of the rest of mankind—
or rather womankind,its only indoatriesbe-
ing tbe manufacture of silk*, jewelry and
marble, tbe Utter being largely exported
hence for monnmenUI and artUtio nse.
Of eoanr, marble U the cheapest build
ing material here, and IU general use in
buildings, courts, sidewalk* and floors adds
mnch to the beanty and lnxnnons appear
ance of Milan- The hotels in many cities
are Uttle fairy palaces in their internal deco
ration. and are really magnificent with their
floors of alternate squares of different col
ored marble, their stairways, wainacottiug,
columns and walls of material that would
hundred miles, even in tbe uncomfortable
European cam, to get a chance to stou at
the Hotel de U Ville in Genoa, an elegant
marble castle and palace, and at tbe noleu
beautiful thongh smaller Grand Hotel de
Milan. It wonld take pages to describe bow
nice and quiet and elegant it seems tn an
American ravage to spend the deligttfal
hoars in these unique Util* IulUn
palaces, with broad halls and corridors and
arcades and conservatories filled with flowers
and rare shrubbery, and statuary and foun
tain*, station lute-lu, managed always by a
jolly fat German, where the menu and tha
cnUine are always in and of fanitlcra
French, and where flnt-clora English U
■poked. I*n’t that what might truth-
fnliy be called “a happy combination?”
