The impudent dishonesty with which
the protectionists charge Democrats
with being “free-traders” is more
glaring and monumental than any ex

made by the devil himself, although
he originated the process._

Tuk dowers upon Victor Hugo’s
grave will wither and die, just as they
do on oilier; graves, but the lesson
which the tender tribute teaches the
living will survive. The intense mo
tive power for good *of demonstrations
of human tenderness are too little ap
preciated.
Senator Butler of South Carolina
Is said to be mad with Mr. Cleveland
for not appointing “his man” to the
colfectorshlp of Charleston. Senator
Butler has no right to own a man,
these days. What interest have Sen
ators in collectors!, ip q more than other
people have ?
John Roach’s Dolphin threatens to
be “accepted” after all. If It should
make the “sea test” successfully, it
will pass muster. Then the .Secretary
of the Navy should formally accept
the vessel, pay for her and proceed to
muster John out of the service as gov
ernment contractor.
Tiie outlook for wheat Is said to be
bad, with the prospect that the crop
will be the shortest for ten years. The
rejiort may not be reliable. It may
have been prepared under the auspices
of the “bull” faction of the grain
gamblers. Statistics arc not always re

Tuk Argentine Republic, down lie-
low the equator, has been investing in
railroads, and now mourns over the
fact. The Republic of Georgia, this

business by having their railroad
property stolen. .
Victor Hugo’s funeral, contrary to
general expectation, was attended with
uo riotous demonstrations. There
were twelve cars of floral crowns and
eight hundred wreaths in the funeral
procession, and the. crowd was beyond
computation. The dead man was a
friend to the poor, ami they went to
see him laid away.
The l T . S. treasury officials, in
league with the Northern banks, strive
iu every possible way to discredit the
standard silver dollar, and prevent its
circulation, and then charge up the
consequences of their discreditable
and unlawful conduct to the pretend
ed inherent weakness of the coin. It
is a piece of pitiful, shallow meanness.
Serving in the Pennsylvania
Legislature is a regular business,
by which very ordinary men are
enabled to draw’ extraordinary sal
aries. The Cameron faintly ought
not to allow that state of affairs to ex

ashamed of themselves to allow’ their
subjects to rob the State treasury at
will.

The wool dip of Laurens county has

the severity of dry falls and cold win

In Leon county, Florida, there is a
lake dr pond, which is about five miles
long and from half a mile to one and a
half miles broad. This pond makes
oot from the Ochlocknee river, about
ten miles from -the Georgia -line, and
the direction lays nearly up the river.
The bottom of this pond is very rich,
and Iu 1830 some capitalists of Talla

to tfy'td utilize this rich land by build
ing* a dam 'about "half a mile long
across the narrowest and shallowest of
it to stop the water from the river by
which it was fed in very high water in
the winter. This dam was built at a

A CALIFORNIA CHARACTER.
o
Reminiscences of a Singular Man
and His Eccentric Wife.
New Y’ork Herald.
San Francisco, May 23.—The death
of Howard Coit will certainly call np
many reminisfncences to the Califor
nians residing in Xew York. Coit was
chiefly remarkable for two things—
his voice and his having been the hus^
band of Lilie Hitchcock. His voice
was about as musical as a calliope, and
almost as penetrating. Partly be
cause of it and partly because he was
such a general favorite he was made
caller of the San Franciseo St^ck
Board, with the comfortable salary of
$1,200 a mouth. The selection was a
happy one, and no matter how wildly
the bulls and the bears raved and
fought—and they did rave any fight in
those days—Coit’s voice could be
heard above all the hurly-burly, clear
and distinct as a steam whistle. The
SAMI JONES’S SAYINGS.
Extract from Ills Thu r*da > Scr#
rnoii iu Nashville.
Among other thiugs, Rev. Sam
iJones, In his sermons in Nashville on
Thursday, said:
“Many a woman will stand by the
side of her husband when he is dead,
and with a bleeding heart ask the Lord
to forgive every unkind word she had
ever spoken to him, I have myself
spoken unkindly to ray wife, and I am
sorry for it. She said It was my dys
pepsia, hut it was mv own dow’nright
meanness.
Never say a thing unless you know
it is true. Never say anything un
kindly of any one. Never say any
thing* behind one’s back you w ould not
say to their face. If you do you are a
slanderer—a buzzard, that’s what you
are. The man that steals ray money is
a gentleman and a Christian beside the
one who. with a slanderous tongue,
smirches the character of some one.
Let us watch tins tongue business.

organ was certainly a very extraordi- | * u a hell. I w’ish we
nary one—the caller’s personality was get our tongues like that of
« _ _ height and Christ. He had » w ord of comfort for
of the proper things to take a strauger
down aud let him hear “Colt call.”
Coit’s wife was still more, remark
able.
A NOTED WOMAN.
She was the daughter of a wealthy
But It wm* a failure, hecaure the fol- pioneer California.!, Dr. Hitchcock,
and falling in love with the dashing
New'Yorker—for Coit cauie from
lowlug winter a tremendous freshet
came in the river, the
the obstruction of* the uanTand soon
melted it away in places, and the lake
filled up as It had always done before.
Then the panic of 1837 came and the
stock company failed, .so the dam was
uever rebuilt; but the remains of this
folly can still be seen fifty years after
wards. But the singular part of this
pond Is now* tfr be told. During the
summer of each year the river Mvould
and the water.f^pm.Ahe lake, run
of 1840 those farmers who lived on the
borders of the pond, one day saw the
water begin suddenly to run rapidly
up stream, and in 48 hours it hail all
r ue except in occasional holes where
had been deepest. The farmers
gathered together aud; found that the
bottom, at the upper end ‘ where the
S rater . had been about tw enty feet
eep, had dropped^ out to the extent
of several acres, leaving h'undre s of
w agon loads of fish, and thousands of
turtles of all kinds,and many alligators
from two to twenty feet long. The
hogs and turkey buzzards lived high,
for a week or two, upon, the fish of all
kinds w hich were left by the receding
waters ou dry ground am! in the small
water holes. The turtles lived a long
time, as they were amphibious, ana
many of them w’ere eaten by the slaves
who lived on the borders of the lake.
Alligators live in the W’ater and mud,
and dig out for themselves deep holes
lu w’hicli they deposit their eggs and
sleep. As soon as these creatures
found the water had left them they
ran to these holes—then the farmers hacl
made alligator hooks to catch them
with. These hooks were made -in this
way. A piece of iron about two feet
long and half an inch thick, had a
socket at one end,while the other had a
sharp point on one side with a hook on
the other. This hook had a strong
pole made to fit the socket. As soon
as one of their holes was found the
pole, with the hook on the end was
shoved down until the animal wits
found, (If he had not been caught be
fore), and he was soou killed with the
spear and dragged out with the hook.
Mauyofthem were so large, heavy
and strong that it often took several
strong men to pull them out.
This lake remained dry until the
n_*xt winter, when it Was again filled
tip from the river. By oue of those
singular and unknown causes, the bot
tom got utoppel up, and
has remained so until tikis day. And
it is now one of the finest fishing lakes
in the summer and hunting places for
water fowls iu the winter ever known.

your city—married him, and, being
averse to doing any thing in the usual
way, she. married him clandestinely.
Long before this escapade, how ever.
Hiss Hitchcock had made herself lo
cally famous. She was an active
member of Knickerbocker Hose Com
pany, No. 5. She was a violent seces
sionist, had pulled down the stars aud
stripes from the Occidental Hotel and
had trampled on them, ami had
marched into the room where pay
master Kenney was holding a levee,
waving the stars .and bare and sing
ing, “For Southern rights, hurrah!’
She has brought down deer-with,
rifle, and had almost killed an insnlter
with an Icepick.
MAN AND WIFE PART.
Coit w as a reckless fellow*, aud it
was hardly a matter of surprise that
two such people should find out that
they were not exactly suited to. each
other. In fact, it was rather a matter
,of surprise that the two lived together
as long as they did. The end came
very abruptly about ten years ago.
Gen. Fremont’s niece, Miss Rebecca
Jones, W’as giving a party at the Lick
House, when Mrs. Coit saw her hus
band wander off with an impressiona
ble young lady. She followed the
conple, broke down the door of the
room into which they had gone, and
from the threshold bid her husband
goodbye forever. She kept her w’ord,
and separation from that hour was
complete. This did not seem to dash
Coit’s spirits over much, nor did the
subsequent reductions of his salary
lead him to habits of carelessness. He
lived fast and, perhaps, merrily. At
all events inflammatory rheumatism
closbd his life w’hen he was but 47. By
a rather strange chance the papers that
announced Coit’s death also contained
the information that Dr. Hitchcock’s
will had been proven, and that his
daughter Lillie, w ho has been living in
retirement near Napa, had been left a
very rich heiress.

H.y’s Appeal to Democrats.
First Assistant Postmaster-General
Hay has w ritten a letter to Hon. Clias.
Uunsicker, of Xorristown, Pa., iu
which he says: “I think that there is
some misapprehension as to tile dis
position and purposes of the Post-office
Department. Very great responsibili
ty has been pijt upon the agents of the
people here, and it seems to me that it
is essential to the ultimate approval
and lasting welfare of the party of
which we are members that all admin
istrative action should be taken with
the utmost care, after due considera
tion and with the fullest attainable
knowledge of facts which might prop
erly influence it. The agents of the
administration in their various posi
tion are as new to their work as are
the members of the party throughout
tiie country to the consideration or ex
ercising of any function in public af
fairs. Tiie Democrats for many years
have had no part whatever in the pro
curement or enjoyment of Federal of
fices, even of the most minor charac
ter. There ought to be mutual consid
eration between the great mass of the
people and their selected agents in
Washington, and mutual assistance
should be readily rendered. There
should be one spirit animating all, to
be considerate, to have reasonable
confidence and to maintain with
fidelity the pledges made before
the election as to what the Democratic
methods of the government would be.
The spoils system, with all its aggre
gated and vast power, was what we
fought and prevailed against. The
general public policy and sound par
ty considerations require that reasons
should exist and be assigned for re
movals from public offices throughout
the United States. Under past admin
istrations, in a vast majority of cases,
Federal appointments have been made
only as rewards for extreme party
services, and offices have been grossly
misused for the purpose of retaining
one political party in power and ex
cluding the other from any share in
conducting the public affairs of the
United Slates, it is due to the people
of all parties, and it is due to the
Democratic party, as accuser of those
who have heretofore been in power, to
exhihit to the country the misdoings
of the men who have long been solely
entrusted with the public offices.
Therefore it is asked, and tiie request
is reasonable, by those who are now
charged with the duty of administra
tion, that the official misdoings of
which we have complained should be
made known when remarks are to be
made, iu order that the truth and
justice of the accusations can be fully
shown.

“The rain at the circus the other
ulght,” said a gentleman yesterday,
“reminds me of an incident at a former
circus. The rain came down in tor

A number of ladies began to shriek. I
begged them all to sit down and he

would soon be over, and warning them
of the danger of a panic, in which they
would certainty be crushed to death.
They finally took their seats; bnt just

Considering the number of seduetive
snares set by the tempter to trap the
unwary, the wonder is not that so
many people go wrong, but that so few
should escape. Nine cases out of ten
where reports come of dishonest de
velopments among business men. the
all-powerful incentive is assigned as
speculation.” There was a time
when “the wine cup” and “thegam
ing table” were believed to be the hot
beds of wickedness and many a con
victed felon and circumvented thief
have confessed from the gibbet or from
the prisoner’s dock that the amber
liquid and the rattling dice were re
sponsible for their downfall.
Recent developments throughout
the countiy have proven, however,
that a majority of the misdeeds are
committed by men who, as a rule, are

the faro tabl. • Margins have taken
the place of chips, ana the attention of
the courts have been drawu off from

growth of another evil that may be ex
tensively plead as an excuse or con-
elined as an incentive to crime. And
from the ^directness with which this
demoralizing cause is associated with
a dishonest attempt, it is evident that
communities will have a new element
to consider in accounting for criminal
transactions, and the courts a new
evil to arraign in instituting their
official inquiries.
In the village of Rockford, 111., says
a New York dispatch, dwells, young
Harry Ratcliff, a moral youngman,
among highly moral people. To in
crease the confidence of his neighbors
in his character, Harry had recently
professed conversion under the Boy-
Preacher Harrison and the bad little
boys of Rockford were pointed to
Harry as an example worthy of imita
tion. Last Friday, however, Harry
was caught robbing the till of his em
ployer of small change, and the moral
sense of the community was shocked
almost as much as its morbid curiosity
was gratified. Harry was spared the
pain of a. confession, but he has ac
counted for his crime in a way still
more sensational, by publishing a card
over his own signature in which he
says that he dates his downfall from
the time he joined a “progressive eu
chre” club. That he says, was his first
step in sin. As the club to which he
belongs is composed of young people
moving in the best society ana promi
nent in church and Sunday school cir
cles, and this card has caused consider
able excitement. Harry does not say
how this fascinating game worked his
undoing, so that the only recourse left
for respectable people is to abandon it
entirely. If “progressive euchre”.is to
b - plead in explanation of crime, soci
ety must grow suspicious of the game.
Employes will hesitate to hire cash
boys who play for the prizes and
punches, and Sunday schools must
draw a line and refuse to distribute
picnic tickets among the boys and girls
who strive for stakes of this sort. Fur
ther than this, our grand juries should
be on the lookout for this evil, and the
police must spot the next bevy of
youngsters who engage in progressive
euchre.

The Decline off Oleomargarine.
Time#-Democrat.
The law recently p:L>-e.l by the Leg
islature of Xew York agaiust oleo
margarine seems to hare actual
ly accomplished the purpose for
which it was designed, and to have
very nearly abolished tiie manufacture
of oleomargarine in tliat State.
The dairy commissioner reports that
luring the past year 80 per cent of the
bogus butter truffle' has been suppress
ed. Oleomargarine factories have
closed and dealers in bogus butter
have shut up their shops, being no
longer willing to risk prosecutions, of
which there have been during the year
forty-two, with eleven convictions.
The natural result of this diminution
in the manufacture of bogus butter
has been a corresponding increase in
the pure dairy article, the receipts at
Xew York of dairy butter being in
creased 1,000,000 pounds a week.
Although the law applies, of course,
only to Xew York, the suppression of
the' oleomargarine factories in that
State has been more or less beneficial
to the whole country, diminishing the
supply of bogus butter so that every
one can indulge in this article now
without feeling that he may be eating
tiie refuse tallow from a slaughter
house. _
Mt Crutches Done.
I have suffered from rheumatism for
seven or eight years. For one year I
was compelled to use my crutches. 1
tried various remedies, especially every
•sort of liniment, but none of them did
me any good. I saw in the newspa
pers an advertisement of Swift’s Spe
cific for rheumatism, and resolved to
try it. I have taken four bottles. Af
ter I had taken it awhile I was enabled
to throw away my crutches. I com
menced using Swift’s Specific last
Xovember, and have had no further
use for crutches, and. only suffer a lit
tle at times now, and would not have
suffered at all if I had continued to
take the medicine. My experience
.with liniments is that they are but lit
tle benefit, and that only temporary.
The disease is in the blood and most be
eradicated, and that is the reason 1
took S. S. S. It is the best blood pur
ifier I ever used. Mrs. Mary Park.

THE YOUNGEST CAN USE IT.
My child, when about one month
old, was afflicted with a dreadful break
ing out on the side of his face. I took
him to the doctor, n ho did not think
there was much the matter, but the
child continued to grow worse. The
little fellow was suffering so much and
was so restless that we had- no rest
night or day. We consulted other
physicians and they -did what they
could, but brought no relief to the lit
tle snfferer. I tried everything at
hand or that I could hear of, but with
out the desired effect. About this time
I saw an advertisment of Sniffs Spe
cific. It was recommended for skin
diseases. I purchased four bottles.
The first bottle did him a great deal of
good. After using the third bottle the
disease entirely disappeared, and the
child is now perfectly well. I would
recommend S. S. S. as a househo'd
remedy, as it has brought both health
and happiness to my own.

ONLY FIVE ALIVE.
Tbe Few Remaining Member* ol
tbe Late Confederate Cabinet*
Washington, May 29.—The recent
appointment of R. M. T. Hunter, of
Virginia, to be Collector of Customs
at the port of Rappahannock, at a
painfully small salary, calls attention
to the whereabouts and the condition
of tbe few remaining members of the
Confederate Cabinet. There were
fourteen of them—Benjamin, Bragg,
Breckenridge, Mallory, Memminger,
Randolph, Sedden, Trenholm, Walker,
Davis, Reagan, Toombs, Watts and
Hunter. Of these only five now re
main—Davis, Reagan, Toombs, Watts
and Hunter. Of these five only twi
Reagan and Toombs—were members
of the original Cabinet. H unter is not
only an old man now, but very much
reduced in circumstances. There are
few of the members of the Confeder
ate Cabinet who are wealth}’. Toombs,
who lives near Atlanta, is wealthy.
Reagan is worth something, bnt not
very much. Watts, of Alabama, and
Davis, of North Carolina, though pret
ty old men, continue In the practice of
law at their respective homes.
Hunter, as indicated above, is poor.
Of those now dead none except Ben
jamin died wealthy. He made a mag
nificent fortune, as is well known, in
the practice of law abroad. Of the
few members still living each resides
now in the State from which he was
chosen for his Cabinet position. Rea
gan iu Texas, Hunter in Virginia,
Watts in Alabama, Davis in North
Carolina and Toombs in Georgia.
Only the civil branenes of the Confed
erate Government are now represent
ed, all the Secretariesof WarandNavy
having passed away. Hunter and
Toombs were Secretaries of State,
Davis and Watts Attorney Generals
and Reagan Postmaster* General.
Reagan is probably the most active
physically and mentally of any of
those remaining. He' is strong and
vigorous, though he was at death’s
door a year ago, when an operation by
some skillful physician saved him.

DAVIS SCENTS DANGER.
Love ot the Constitution Declared
Dying Out.
Wahiungtos, May 30.—Dr. A. Y.
P. Garnett, a physician of this city,
while on a recent trip South visited
Jefferson Davis, with whom he has
had a long and intimate acquaintance.
The Star this evening publishes an in
terview with Dr. Garnett, in which
the views of the ex-Confederate Presi
dent are given upon the political situ
ation and other matters. Dr. Garnett
“In the course of our conver
sation during the day, Mr. Davis al
luded to the political condition of tbe
country by saying that he knew noth
ing of the present Executive, and that
be had not yet progressed far enough
with the administration for him to
form an opinion of it.
LOVE OK THE CONSTITUTION DYING
OUT.
“He seemed satisfied with the mem
bers of the Cabinet selected from the
South, bnt not disposed, 1 thought, to
entertain a ve'ry hopeful view of our
future, as he said that the respect, love
and veneration for the constitution
which animated the citizens of the
United States before the war hafl now
departed from our people, and that
the system of government erected by
our forefathers existed only iu name;
tliat there were elements of disinte
gration and disruption at work in our
midst which could only he restrained
and held lu check by force, and that
the underlying and fundamental prin
ciples upon which our system of gov
ernment was erected, and upon which
the constitution as it. was before the
war rested, are fast becoming obsolete,
forgotten by old men and never learn

ERRORS OF THE REPUBLICANS.
“Under the rule of Republicanism
(luring the war and subsequent to it
the constitution was made of rope of
sand, and whilst this party af so-call
ed liberal ideas was proclaiming uni
versal freedom and equality' on one
iiand, they were tearing down and
blotting out the very safe-guards and
defenses which alone, under our form
of government, could secure It to
them.” Speaking of Commodore
Bullock’s book, which discloses the se

in England during the war for procur

THE MELON DISTRIBUTING
AGENCY.
A Ectter Which Show* How the
Thin* 1* Working.
Tbe Increased facilities for trans
porting melons and the perfection of a
huger and better system for distribut
ing them in the markets, through the
distributing agency which has been
established at Atlanta, augur well for
the melon growers of Southwest Geor
gia this year; and the wisdom upon
the part of tbe growers in establishing
an agency at Atlanta becomes more
and more apparent as the season ad
vances. If the growers will stand
united and let it be known that they
are in earnest about marketing their
melons through Mr. J. S. Davis, whom
they have appointed, to go 'to Atlanta
and represent them as distributing
agent through the season, they can be
assured of avoiding the gluts that have
proved so disastrous to them hereto
fore. Mr. Davis has been in corres
pondence with commission merchants
in all tbe markets of the North and
West, and finds’ho trouble in getting
reliable houses to handle all the mel
ons that he will consign to them.
The following letter is not only a
strong endorsement of Mr. Davis’s
work last year, but will be interesting
to our melon growers for other reasons.
It speaks for itself and needs no ex
