AGAINST GHIMES.
Hie Gorman Delegation from Talbot not

Talbotton, July 31.—I see that it lias
been published in some of the papers that
the delegates from Talbot county who
were selected by W. R. Gorman to repre-
sent him in the Congressional Convention,
will, after they find there la no chance to
nominate Gorman, then go to Tom Grimes.
This is a mistake, as they will never
ipport Grime*. They don’t think lie 1ms
ome anything ill Congress to merit ai

Startling Experience or a Nurse In a Cliol.
era Ifanpltal.
From the New York Press. .
It has so long been accepted that jack
of all trades is master of none that I
would feel some hesitanev in denying the
old saw were I not capable of proving its
fallacy by living proofs Alfred S. Nutt,
whom I met on Broadway yesterday, has
lived to defy this law and he is not yet 35
years of age. He is at once a skillful
nurse, a good actor, a capable -carpenter
a l c ^ ever enough as a Shakesparian
scholar to be able to recite twelve of the
bard’s plays, line perfect, from
memory. Aa a nurse and a care-taker of
the insane he has very few superiors, and
there are not many men who have had a
tenth part of his dangerous and thrilling
experiences. As an actor ho has aston
ished the veterans of the footlights by his
pose, grace and delivery. As a carpenter
his hand is cunning enough to yield him a
living should he at any time be forced to
take up that trade. As a mesmerizer very
few men can compare with him.
Nutt has had rather a varied and inter
esting career for a man of Ids age. He
was the faithful nurse and attendant of
the late John McCullough, and was con
stantly with the lamented actor for two
years prior to his melancholy death. Be
fore that he had taken an intense interest
in studying the various forms of insanity,
and had secure!! engagements in cases of
violent mania so that he could more close
ly observe the difierent phases of the mal
ady. The most dangerous part of his ex
perience, however, was as one of the staff
of. trained nurses, headed by Florence
Nightingale, in the cholera districts of
Spain and Portugal. People were dying
of like flies in a frost. In and about
Missal, a town not far from
Oporto, the population had be
come panic stricken. Mothers de
serted their children and children their
parents. Even the prieBts became infected
witlv the general fear, and the majority of
them refused _ to give consolation to the
dying or to hold services over the dead.
Miss Nightingale and her brave-heart* d
corps never hesitated a moment in their
duty. They went into the stricken houses,
and by a show of confidence and cheerful
ness managed to coax a few people to re
turn-enough to assist them in the ardu
ous and not altogether agreeable work of
the cholera ward in the hospital. With
all the work, however, there seemed to be
no staying of the disease. Some of the
sights were gruesome enough. Nutt had a
personal experience that would in all
probability have terrified a superstitious
man into a spasm.
It was one of Nurse Nutt’s unpleasant
duties to carry out the dead and prepare
them for burial, and at this ghastly work
he was kept busy almost constantly. One
morning he was'summoneil to remove the
body of a young man who had died the
night night before. The agr.nv of his tak
ing off had been so great that he was hor
ribly contorted, his Knees being drawn up
to his chin and his muscles in great knots.
Nurse Nutt carried him uul and tried to
strlghten his frightfully distorted limbs so
as to put him in the rude pine box pro
vided for each patient the moment he or
she entered the hospital. This was found
to be impossible, and the nurse concluded
that he would wait for a few hours until
the natural relaxation, which always fol
low* rigor moitls, took (lac*. Hi M
very tired with the day’s exertions and
threw himself down on a cot near the dead
man. He fell asleep about noon and re
inained in that conditim, he thinks, fur
five hours. It was dusk when heuwakened
by n noise if some one knocking at the
door. He lifted his head and looked to
the left. Directly in the line of his vision
was the pine Lux, alongside of which lay
the dead cholera patient, with lus
legs and arms distorted. As Nutt looked
he saw one of the corpse’s arms straighten
out and strike the Uoor. Then one of his
legs did the same thing. To another man
this might have been somethin* horrible;
to Nutt it was simply the obedience of a
natural law—the relaxation of th* nma*
clcs—Aist whit he bad been waiting for,
too. He turned over, stretched himself,
and was preparing to get up, when he saw
the supposed corpse turn over on bis stom
ach, and, with sepulchral groank, begin
crawling painfully along the floor.
Nurse Nutt was ou his feet in an instaut.
He was startled, to he sore, but not in the
least frightened. He realized instantly
that it was a case of suspended animation,
and his only thought was how the poor
fellow’s life might be saved. He lifted the
patient from the floor to the bed. ami then
ran into another room to call a physician,
He was gone not more than two minutes.
When lie returned he found that the
patient had rolled off the bed and was on
the floor again. He waa on his back. His
limbs were again contorted. Hiseyes were
glazed. The doctor bent down and put his
ear to the chest. “Why,” nurse," said lie,
“the man is dead. He’s cold, too, and
has certainly been dead for at least six
hours.”
Economy for Rich Englishmen.
From the London World.
Economy is the luxury of the rich. To
the poor man, who is absolutely forced to
do those things, or to do without them,
which are a matter of choice to his wealthy
neighbor, it is no great source of rejoicing
to find that he has saved a trifle here and
there which it never would have occurred
to him to spend; and what lo the one is a
subject for secret exultation snd self-con
gratulation is to the other a matter of
course. He takes the lowtsi room because
he must, not because he will. Blit mark

So Caught Illm.
Fiom the Arkansnw Traveler.
A traveler in Kentucky who had stopped
and begun a conversation with a squint-
eyed old fellow who was cutting briars and
sassafras sprouts out of the fence corners
pointed to a house some distance away and
asked:
“Who lives over there?"
“The Widder Bradley,” the farmer re
plied, “an’ I do reckon" that she’s a little
the peartest woman in the neighborhood,
She fust married Pete Bradshaw, l’ete lie
died, and the widder was putty much grief-
struck. She had a little money, and she
hired a stonecutter to chisel out a monu
ment for l’ete, agreein’ to furnish the rock
herself. The cutter went to work, but os
he wa’u’t in a very big hurry, the wqlder
she tuck a likin’ to a feller named Sandy
Smith an’ married him. Then she told
the cutter to jest chip along at his lezur’
an’ he done so. It wa’n’t long after this
that Sandy got a lcetlc full, fell oflen the
foot log into the bzvou ana wa* drowned.
The widder had him dug out and buried
beside Pete an’ then went to the cutter an’
told him to put one more name on the
monument. She moped nrcund fur some
little time an’ didn’t ’pear to enjoy her
vidults very much, but arterw’ile tliar

Mose he made & dead set at the widder, an’
she tuck him, she did. About a month
arter this Mote he run afoul uv a pizen sort
uv unresponsible feller an’ was laid out.
The widder was mightily crushed, bein’ uv
a powerful tender natur, but urged on by
her strong business instincts she got on a
mule, rode over to th* stonecutter’s house,
and, calling the feller out to the fence, nxea
him ei that nr monument was done.
“‘Not quite,’ the feller ’lowed, ez he
breshed some limestone dustouter his whis

“ ‘Wall,’ says she, 'have you got room on

“ ‘I rocs in I ken ’comerdate you madam,’
said lie.
“ ‘Wall, theD, she 'lowed, ‘jest put Mose
Bradley on thar in ez good shape ez you

“He done it, an’ the widder she put up
the monument over all three of the fellers
an' had these here words cut on one side:
‘Here lies the bodies uv my three tender

added, as he struck at a lizzard witli his
briar-nook, “do you know whut sort uv a
break I’m goin’ to make?”
“Can’t say that I do,” the traveler re
plied.

Mnknn* nt Iluuttuu Lac*.
From the London Times.
A Parliamentarv paper lias just been
pablUwd br th* Horn* Office containing
the report of Mr. Alan Cole, commissioner
from the South Kensington Museum, on
the present condition and prospect of the
Honiton lace industry. This report was
drawn un last year as the result of a visit
paid by Mr. Cole to the district in Devon
shire, where lace making was formerly a
profitable undertaking, and whence native
produce was once earried to various parts
of the kingdom, and even abroad. He
found that at all the villages visited trade
was bad, and had been declining for some
time. The children who used to learn
the art as soon »s they can read, will
no longer give time to it, and the de
mand has fallen off considerably. The
oldest lace trader in the neighborhood of
Otterton spoke of the unfair pressure ex
ercised upon the home industry by foreign
duties on English lace. Mr. Vole thinks
that the quality of lace produced at Ex
eter and nt' er place* shows that the indus
try is cajiable ot very high development
am! nf being a source of fair income to
those employed in it. Mr. Cole concludes
by suggestions us to perpetuating the art,
as to a system of instruction, and as to en
couraging new expressions of the art.
With regard to ibis last suggestion, Mr.
Cole say* thart arena might be taken which
**• tindieared ue-der three teetieua.
(a i By means to lie provided by the sci
ence and art department, lecture* upon
Devonshire lace might be given and in
spections granted to encourage eflorts in
design; (b) a private committee might be
formed and raise a fund for prizes to be
awarded for improved designs snd new
experiments in lace-making, and (c) a sec
ond fund might be raised or government

tiai prizes to the better of the proposed

by making building material dear.
What would be the result of a wisely re-
duced tariff? It would make the necessa
ries of life cheaper, and therefore the
workiDgmen's saving larger. It would also
make the price of building material lower,
vlould it lower wages? No.
Why? Because wages are not regulated
by the profits of employers, but by the sup
ply of labor and the demand for it.
Would it close manufactories? No.
Why? Because, witli free raw materials,
intelligent, skilled and liberally paid
workmen, and improved machinery, the
manufactories of the United States could
make better and cheaper goods than the
manufactories of any other country. Those
good* could he »old in every country in
the world at a fair profit. This would lead
to the building of many more manufac
tories tlinn now exist and the employment
of more workmen. With this increased
demand for labor, increased wages would
naturally come.
This is the doctrine of the friends of
tariff reform. Theproprietors of trusts do
not believe in this doctrine. Mr. Andrew
Carnegie, who made $1,600,000 in a; single,
year out of pruieeied steei rails, does not
believe in this doctrine.

see a load or two of cotton coming by" my
house on its way to the city to be sold. It
looks encouraging when you see farmers
able to hold their cotton back- until this
time of the year, and creates the impres
sion that they are not hard-up, or they
would have sold montiis *go. I believe
that full two hundred bales has come into
the city on wagons in the past three
months.
At this juncture Mr. W. J. Tanner, who
was of the party said:
“My mother has a bale of cotton in her
barn at the old home place which has been
there since 1860.”
“Why don’t she sell it?” asked several
of the party in a chorus.
Ji“I don’t know,” said he. “I don’t think
she has ever thought of doingso. The bale
was put in the barn by my Uther in 18C0.
and it has heen there ever since. I told
her some time ago to sell it to some mat
tress maker, but she said she would just
keep it to remember good old times by.”

FUNERAL OF MRS. TIJLLEV.
Tlie Roily Found by the Use of Dynnnilt
Snd Afihlr.
Mr. M. Loh has received a copy of the
Niagara Falls Gazette from a friend It
contains an account of the unfortunate
drowning of Mrs. Tulley and the recovery
of tho body. The following is nn extract:
Monday afternoon diaries Reisig, an
expert witii dynamite cartridges, accompa
nied tlie two Tully brothers, one tlie hus
band of the unfortunate tidy, and young
Barber to the spot where the accident took
place and spent several hours sbootinj
cartridges under the water. They returnee
without having apparently accomplished
anything, but about 7 o’clock the body was
discovered just opposite Port Day, about a
mile below where she was drowned, by
Mr. Joseph Trusdale, who was out sailing.
The body was bnt a short distance above
the head of the rapids, and when Trusdale
caught it it was a question whether he
should make for the head of Goal Island
or the main shore. The latter point was
chosen, and after a hard struggle the
body was landed at the pier at Port Day,
where it was viewed by the coroner, who
did not deem it necessary to hold an in
quest.
The body was removed to Lockport, at
which place the funeral took place yester
day afternoon.

GARFIELD IN CONGRESS, 1870.
“Mr. Chairman, examining thus the pos
sibilities of the situation, I believe that
the true course for the friends of protection
to pursue is to reduce the rates oil imports
wherever we can justly and safely do so,
and, accepting neither of the extreme doc
trines urged on this floor, endeavor to es
tablish a stable policy that will commend
itself to all patriotic and thoughtful peo
ple.”
FROM THE REPUBLICAN TLATFORM OF 1888.
We favor the entire repeal of internal
taxes rathtr than the surrender of any
part of our j rotective system.
GARFIELD IN CONGRESS, 1878.
“I believe that we ought to seek that
point of stable equilibrium somewhere be
tween a prohibitory tariff on the one hand
and a tariff that gives no protection on tho
other. In other words, 1 would have the
duty so adjusted that every great Ameri
can industry can fairly live and mako fair
profits; and yet so low that if otir manu-
lacturcrs attempted to put up prices un
reasonably, the competition from abroad
would come in and bring down prices to a
fair rate. Such a tariff, I believe, will be
supported by the great majority of Ameri
cans.”
FROM THE REPUHLICAN PLATFORM OF 1888.
We favor the entire repeal of internal
laxes rather than the surrender of any
part of oar protective system.
PRESIDENT ARTHURS MESSAGE, 1881.
“The tariff laws also need revision, but
that a due regard may he paid lo the con
flicting interests of our citizens important
changes should be made with caution.
If a careful revision cannot be made nt this
session, a commission such as was lately
approved by the (Republican) Senate, and
is now recommended by the (Republican)
Secretary of tlie Treasury, would doubtless
lighten the labors of Congress whenever
this subject shall be brought tx its consid
eration.”
FROM THE REPUBLICAN PLATFORM OF 1888.
We favor the entire repeal of internal
taxes rather than the surrender of any
part of our protective system.
SECRETARY FOLOER’s REPORT, 1881.
“A revision of the tariff seems necessary
to meet the condition of many branches of
trade. That condition lias materially
changed'sinco the enactment of tho tariff
bill of 1864, which formed the basis of tho
present tariff aa to most of the articles im
ported.”
FROM THE REPUBLICAN PLATFORM OF 1888.
We favor the entire repeal nf internal
taxes rather than the surrender of any part
of our protective system.
president Arthur's message, 1882.
“I recommend an enlargement of the
free list and a general revision of the

FROM THE REPUBLICAN PLATFORM OF 1888.
We favor the entire repeal of internal
taxes rainer than the surrender of any pari
of our protective system.
TARIFF COMMISSION, 1882
“ltarly in the deliberations the commis
sion became convinced thnt a substantial
reduction of tariff dutii - is denmnritd, not
by a mere indiscriminate popular clamor,
but by the best conservative opinion of tlie
country, including that which has in for
mer times been most strenuous for tho pre
servation of our national industrial de
fences. Such a reduction of the existing
tariff the coin mission regards not only as a
due recognition of public sentiment and a
measure of justice to consumers, but one
conducive to tlie general industrial pros
perity, and which, though it may be tem
porarily inconvenient, will be ultimately
beneficial to the special interests affected
by such reduction.”
FROM THE REPUBLICAN PLATFORM Of 1888.
We favor the entire repeal of internal
taxes rather than the surrender of any part
of our protective system.
SECBETARY FOLOER’s REPORT, 1882.
“In reading the testimony before the
tariff commission, it is to he observed that
with scarcely an exception ihc representa
tive of every industry, while conceding
that a generrl reduction of the tariff is
proper and mcessary, has claimed that its
peculiar product can submit to no reduc
tion of the taxation now afforded. While
the views of the manufacturers are to be
weighed, it is msuifest that they will never
be able to agree upon a reduction of the
tariff duties. All agree that a revision of
the tariff is necessary.
FROM THE REPUBLICAN PLATFORM of 1888.
We favor the entire repeal of internal
taxes rather than the surrender of any part
of our protective system.
SECRETARY M’cULLOCH’a REPORT, 1884.
“This much, however, it may ho proper
for me to recommend: First—That the
existing duties upon raw materials which
are to be used in manufacture should be
removed. This can be done in the interest
of our foreign trade fiecond—That tlie
duties upon the articles used or consumed
by those who are tbe least side to bear the
burden of taxation should be reduced.
This also can be effected without preju
dice to our export trade. The tax ii|io$i
whiskey could not be repealed without a
disregard of public sentiment, nor without
creating a necessity for higher duties upon
imported goods.”
FROM THE REPUBLICAN PLATFORM OF 1883.
We favor the entire repeal of internal
taxes rather than the surrender of any
part of our protective system.
REPUBLICAN PLATFORM OF 1884.
“The Democratic party has failed com
pletely to relieve the people of the Dunlin
of unnecessary taxation by a wise reduc
tion of the surplus. The Republican
party pledges itself to correct the inequal
ities of the tariff aud to reduce the sur
plus.”
FROM THE REPUBLICAN PLATFORM OF 1888.
We faver the entire repeal o internal
taxes rather than the surrender of any
I%rt of our protective system.
BLAINE’S PARIS MESSAGE, 1888.
“I would pot edvise the repeal of the
whisk; tax. Other considerations than
those of financial administration are to be
taken into account with regard to whisky.
There >** moral side to it. To cheapen
the price of whisky is to increase its con
sumption enormously. There would he no
sense in urging the reform wrought by
high license in inanv States if ■ the national
government lieutrali/rs the good efleet by
making whisky within reach of every one,
at twenty cents a gallon.”
FROM THE BEPUBLB AN PLATFORM OP 1868.
We favor tlie entire repeal of internal
taxes rather than the -um nder of an;
