J„ tell of several families, to the nber of twenty-live persons, who > poisoned last Friday by eating lOrned beef prepared by a local butch- The meat was put up in muslin and showed no signs of metal oisoning. Physicians claimed that i meat was decaying. It is a won- r that with the extreme carelessness jhown by most people In pnroliasing ueats for consumption in summer Bther, there arc not more acoi nts occurring. Extreme care should ,e observed in buying meats, for many i of severe fever are easily trace- 8to the consumption of unwhole- t animal flesh. Fresh meat should • be eaten in the summer until it i been refrigerated long enough to |jit tender. And to <eat any kind _ at about which there is the least _ lability of decay, is a thing In (fob .lies much danger. But the r of ope person's carelessness re- j In a calamity to several others I probably be many tliqes repeated — the millennium. “Alai, for'the rarity of Christian obarlty!” sang Tom Hood, and a North ern exchange to-day re-eohoes the pessimistic sentiment. But Christian oharlty la 'not rare. It Is more abundant to-day than ever before within the history of the world, and is keeping pace with the progress iveness of the age. Great disasters, now so common in this day of reckless enterprise and rapid transit, never fall tobringChris- tlan charity into play. The Johnstown horror and now the Licking river bridge disaster developed more real Christian charity than Torn Hood, in Ills day, and the infidels and pessim ist* of this day and generation oould appreciate. Such calamities as those we have mentioned never fail to de velop not only the kind of Christian oharlty that goes down Into the pocket, but mueh of the higher order that is herole and Involves personal sacrifice and danger. Yes,the world is full of Christian charity to-day, despite the fact that It Is the most abused nnd oftenest be trayed of all the Christian graces. Unfortunately, however, the mis eries of individuals, which in myriads of isolated oases arc every day leading toward fatal results, are generally too obsoure and dumb to attract the atten tion of the busy world. MR. BI.AINJK’H SOHltOIV OUR fOVB PARTIES. From the Atlanta Constitution. The Albany Daily Hxbald says there are now four separate and dis tinct political parties in the Borond Congressional district — the Demo cratic, the Republican, tlte Alliance and the Third or People's Party. There, as elsewhere, there.are Alli ance Democrats, but the Hxbald speaks of the Alliance as a party with in Itself—distinct from the People’s or Third Party. It speaks of the situa tion there as being of the gravest character and oalls upon the people to get together and unravel it If possible. Affairs are certainly in a badly mixed condition in the Second district, but if the urgent oalls which are being made to the people through the press amount to anything, the Democratic forces will rally together and make a stronger and more determined fight for victory^ ABLY EDITED AND PAIR. Who will not sympathize with Mr. Blaine in the great sorrow that came to him so suddenly on Saturday? Truly he has had enough of Borrow and disappointment to crush ,almost any man. Death has been at work hi Ills household. It has not been so long slnoe hi* favorite sister died, then Walker Blaine, and now another son, Kmmons Blaine, has been stricken. Emmons Blaine died suddenly In Chi cago at about noon on Saturday. His parents were at Bar Harbor and had no Intimation of Ills Illness until about half an hour before his death. Blood poisoning, the result of inflammation of the bowels, was the cause of young Blaine's sudden dentil. It really seems hard that this great blow should fall upon Mr. Blaine Just at this time, and the sympathies of all good people will go out to him In this Ills day of sorrow. VOL. NORWOOD ON TDM DEATH OP POI.K-THR THIBD PARTY. Col. Thomas Norwood Is reported by tho Savannah Press as expressing much regret at the death of Col. L. L. Polk, President of tho National All! mine. He believed him to be a pure oltizen, aetuated by patriotic motives, who had tha true welfare ut the farm, ora and the entire country at heart, and who was not merely seeking per sonnl political preferment through his effurtsto advance the oause espoused by tho Alllanoe. Col. Norwood is Inollncd to believe that the Third Party odnveutlon at Omaha will now elevate Weaver, who was docketed for second place, to the head of the National ticket, with Geor gia’s uniquely original “Tommy” Wat son for vlce-Prealdent. Mr. Norwood iloeB not believe that the Third Party is broken down. He says! “I believe it to bea strong and grow ing factor which will remain an active force in politics. If It had been a movement of the politicians alone It would have been crushed out of exis- touou long ago. But It is nut. The politicians engaged in it are merely tho white oaps that tell of the presenoe of the surglngblllows beneath." “HOT ENOUGH POH YOUf" Somebody has evidently been ad dressing this silly qnery to editor Walsh, of the Augusta Chronicle, and he makes it the text of the following editorial: Don’t persecute people with that Idiotic inquiry, “Is It hot enough for you,” and don’t feel called on to tell every man you meet that “this Is very warm weather we are having’’ Any person of ordinary intelligenoe can find that out without being told. Besides, this is one of the cases where ignorance Is bits*. If you find a man that doesn’t know this is hot weather, bask awhile in the happiness of his undisturbed serenity, and then go on J our sweltering way without trying to IsturlWilsoomrort by Insane questions or feeble-minded observations. If you were the only idiot in the community your silly questions or as sertions about the weather would not ■natter, but when a man is persecuted by every one he meets with some silly remnrk about the heat he is bound to get uncomfortable, even though he were smiling and happy to begin with. Just take it for granted to-day that the friends you meet have sense enough to know it is liot, and that,unless they are prohibitionists. It is entirely hot enough for them. Don't ask. Go through the day without fussing and fuuilug about the weather, and see how much cooler you will be, and how much happier your friends will be. It is worth trying; Judge Atkinson has emphatically denied the report that he was going to withdraw from the Congressional raoe in the Eleventh district, and says that he Is in to stay until the finish, The Judge is evidently losing hisgood nature, judging by some of his utter ances that get Into the newspapers, and will develop a bad case of sore head before the campaign is over if he isn’t careful. VAMT DYING OCT From tlie Cutlibert Llboral-Kntei-|»rl»e. Tub Albany IIkrald Is one of the best edited papers in Georgia. Its ed itor, Henry McIntosh, is a writer of ability and fairness, a gentleman who knows not how to stoop to a little thing. When he differs with a con temporary the difference is argued on Its merits, without resqrt to contempt ible personalities, buffoonery and false hood. The Herald is by far the ablest and certainly the only fair and manly paper In this end of tlic Second d's- trict that opposes Mr. Stevens. Congress will do nothing next week, and the Congressman who don’t go to Chicago had as well goa-tlshing. The Democrats are evidently going to nominate Cleveland for President, and if Hill uses the razor which lie carries, what will the harvest be? The Washington correspondents have fallen into the habit of giving entirely too much attention nnd prom inence to the things that “ain't so.” Tiik big town upon Lake Michigan Is fast filling up with delegates to the convention. One delegation from Washington left yesterday nnd another to-day. The Democratic delegates to Chi cago had butter go with well filled luncheon baskets, for Chicago waiters are on a strike and nearly all of the restaurants in the olty are closed. Since the nomination at Minne apolis all signs of discord In the Re publican party have disappeared, and every Republican North, South, East and West, Is hurrahing for Harrison. J. R. Toli.khon, the Atlanta banker who lias spent so much of Ills valuable time In jail during the last two years, has been arrested again. When he gets out of this snap he ought to tnke up hid bed and walk, as Atlanta has evidently soured on him. Hebe Is a chunk of solid troth and wisdom from the Outhbert Liberal- Enterprise : “Exemption Inws do not hurt the man who has money. It T* the man who must have credit that bears the burden. Waive mites, mort gages and usury.! These arc the bur dens piled upon our poor people by these hurtful laws. Repeal them.’’ Allen W. Thurman and Frank Hurd were both defeated for delegate- at-large places to the Chlcngo conven tion in the Ohio State Democratic con vention nt Columbus on Wednesday, and the anti-Cleveland papers are olalmlng it as a strong indication that the Ohio delegation Is decidedly op posed to Cleveland’s nomination. The Alliance of the Second Con gressional distriot—the District Alli ance, which was organized for politi cal purposes, we mean—may not in tend to antagonize the Democratic party In practice, but that is precisely what It Is doing in theory, and the ef fect is just the same so far as the In terests of the Democratic party are concerned. Omaha does not seem to be very hos pitably Inclined towards the expected delegates to the convention of the People's Party. They have made ar rangements to accommodate 6,000, and the party leaders olaim there will be 60,000 delegates. As the convention meets on the 4th of July, If Omaha ex pects to entertain the other 44,000, she had better get a hustle on her. Cyclones are no respecters of per sons nor political parties. The Dem ocratic Wigwam at Chicago was so nearly demolished by the tornado of Monday that Chicago leading Demo crats telegraphed Minneapolis to in quire If the Exhibition building could be used for the Democratic conven tion. But later In the day it was de rided that the Wigwam could he re paired in time for the big show on Tuesday, and workmen were put at once to work on it. An the 014 Darbies of Aale-Bellam Dare. The ranks of the trusted and tried old darkies of ante-bellum days are fast thinning out from the continued ravage and warfare of old Father Time, and soon the old uncles and aunties who were grown men and women in times before the war will have left this world, the scene of many trials nnd tribulntlons. In the South, the old darkies who lived and had their lives shaped be fore their freedom, are in great de mand for servants In the families who have found out their true worth, nnd it Is almost an Impossibility to secure the services of one> so monopolized are they. How many of you have seen the ten der solioitude and untiring watchful ness of a good old mntnniy, as she sat by your sick bed, or that of some friend, and kept a patient watch over your slumbers nnd attended to every want when awake? These good old people arc trusted wherever they go, and oh, how sadly will we miss them when they are gone! The race of darkies who arc taking the places of their parents are no more like them tlinn the day the night, and the fact of the difference Is not re gretted more by any one than by the old people themselves. The ways nnd customs of old dar kles haven't been changed by the flight of years. Their beliefs nnd many su perstitions, their dress nnd dialect re main the same as they were fifty years ago. When the aunty meets you or goes to tlmnk you for a favor, the cour tesy she makes Is illimitable. The uncle with a bow of the head and po lite word tips his timo worn stove pipe hat in a way that will mnke the surliest person ralnvn a pleasant greet ing. But In a few more years they will all have gone to another world. .They are fast dropping out of the rune of life, hot there is not a people on the earth who more cheerfully close their eyes In the eternnl.sleep than the good and true old darkles of ante-bellum days. The mortality frum the ravages of cholera In Persia is on the increase, so much so that nctive measures are be ing taken to prevent its entrance into Russia. It would be well for some of our seaports to look most carefully after their sanitary niensures and-ex ert extra vigilance in watching each ship that comes Into port. A scourge of the cholera Is not to be desired. The ever-increasing occurrence of those terrific wind-storms that sweep the Northwest should arouse the in terest of a thinking community in a more efficient nnd a surer means of predicting such storms, especially iti those districts most frequently visited by tornadoes and cyclones. The con sequences of the storms are so appall ing, the loss of life ami property so great, and the increase in tlieir occur rence is so apparent that every possi ble menus of preparing people for their coming should bn most carefully considered; o. 11.stkvknh is not the candidate of the Al liance.

What! Not the candidate of the Al liance? Whose, then, is he? Is he not himself an Alllancemnn, and was it not the Alliance that brought him out and Issued an address to the people of the district recommending him and another to the “oath-bound” frater nity calling upon the members to stand by him because he was an Alll- anceman and had been brought out by the Alllanoe? BARBER ANU Ut. An enterprising firm in Illinois whioh had occasion to import a lot of rims for bicycle wheels recently hit upon a new classification, with which a United States Court at Chicago struggled long and earnestly. The rims were entered as “tired wheels for railway purposes,” whioh are dutiable at cents a pound, while the rims had been assessed at 40 per cent, ad valorem. The ingenuity of the scheme made no impression, however, upon the court, and the higher rate of duty prevailed. The time has not arrived when bicycle wheels can come in as railroad material; yet there are vast possibilities in the “silent steed,” and the Illinois men may get there in the near future. The casualties of the past two dayB have been startlingly great. The flood and fire in the oil regions of Pennsyl vania disposed of over a million dol lars of property and put an end to the lives of more than one hundred people; the navy yard explosion caused the instant death of fourteen men; a mil- lion-dollar fire lias occurred in Balti more; the blowing up of an oil ship cost twenty lives; the giving way of a new bridge over the Licking river, be tween Covington and Newport, Ky., sent forty-three men to their death; death and loss of property from light ning and cyclones have been reported from many Western towns; and be sides these there are many minor acci dents that attract little attention in tile face of the more serious ones that have occurred. Editor Wattkrson has this to say of the delegation from Kentucky to the Republican convention at Minne apolis: “It fills the heart with satis faction to read in the dispatches that when tile President first shoved his superior strength in the convention none roared louder and longer than the Kentucky brigade. Kentucky del egates in Republican National Con ventions unfortunately often get on the wrong side and consequently are compelled to weep aud wail in the wilderness for a manna that coineth not. But they hit the bull's eye this time and if there are any offices to be distributed they have accomplished what most delegates go to a National Republican convention for.” The Shrewd Knight of tlifl Itnxor Wiinled Mt Advertisement. Dr. Wills, on English resident of Persia, was talking with tho barber who had come as usual to shave and shampoo him. “Why not do me tho honor to come just over to my shop?” said the barber. “It would do you harm," answered Dr. Wills, “if the people were to know that you slmveil an unbeliever.” “Not a bit of it, sahib. I would shave the evil one himself if he were only open handed; and I should bo respected for it. par ticularly if’—with a chuckle— "I kept tight hold of liis nose.” Hossan, tho barber, had tight hold of the Englishman's nose at that mo ment, and as he was just going over tho region above Adam's apple with his keen razor thoro was no replying to his joke. “You should see me draw teeth— such teeth I” added tho barber. "You, doctor, who only draw tho teeth of princes and gentry, you have never seen such teeth, evon in a dream." Here he drew his fingers, dipped in water over his client’s chin—they do not lather in the east—and added with unction, “Such teeth—teeth with five roots I" Dr. WUIb, could not remonstrate, for Hsssan had him by the nose again, and his razor was still playing in dangerous places. The conversa tion ended by the Englishman's prom ising to visit the barber at his shop. Hossan had no sooner gathered up his traps aud retired with dignity than the servant of Dr. Wills began to expostulate. “You won't go, sir, of course," he began, oh ho handed his master u towel. "Won't go I Indeed I shall. Why not, pray?" "Ah. you sahibs are always taken in. Don’t you spe, sahib, why ho wants you to come'! Ho will say you have come to learn from him." Tho Englishman was amused, nnd at tho time appointed ho went to Hnssnu's shop, und was received with exuberant welcome. “Your footsteps are on my eyes; you are indeed welcome; you honor my poor establishment." The place was “clean as a new pin." Vases of the Nureissus poeti- cus filled it with fragrance, and cus tomers were plentiful. Heuds were shaved; 'arms wore bled; a rheumatic sufferer lay down and recoived three severe burns with a hot iron, for which he seemed duly grateful; and finally Hassan “ac tually extracted a part of a tooth—in three acts und a prologue, with an interval of five minutes after each." At the end a largo piece came away. “Ah,” said tho triumphant barber, ‘that was where tho pain was I” Aud the patient went out with his cheek in his hand. Dr. Wills soon followed, but was hardly in his own courtyard before his servnnt entered, palo with rage. “Suhibl Oh, sahib!” ho began. “1 said it! 1 knew it I He has done it; 1 knew he would I There he stands, the rascal, explaining to the two merchants, your patients, that you— ah, Unit 1 should live to see the day I —that you have come to him at your own request to take a lesson in tooth drawing I”—Youth’s Companion. Know HU Business. The clothing man had printed a big advertisement, and he was hon est and had much business. A face tious customer came in. “1 like this,” he said, sticking out a copy of the paper containing the ad. “What’s the matter with it!” asked the clothier. “You say here, ’A good hoy’s coat for fifty cents.’ Can’t a bad hoy get a coat for fifty cents too!” “Yes,” said the clothier politely. “Then why not make the adver tisement to read 'a hoy’s good coat for fifty cents!’” and the customer laughed the laugh of a man who al ways has everything just right. The clothier was as serene and gentle as the gospel of truth and Ught. “Because,” he said, “I meant it the way I put it. We can’t sell a hoy’s good coat for fifty cents. We con and do sell a good boy's coat for fifty cents, and if a bad boy wonts one of that kind he can have it ex actly at the same price. See!” Then the facetious customer put the paper in his pocket and took-one of the coats home to his hoy.—De troit Free Press.

HOW TO BATHE. Now that the summer days are upon us with their enervating and beauty spoiling heat, ladles eagerly embrace every means that serves to detraot frem the generally fagged out appear ance that hot summer weather brings. A day that leaves a lady fit for noth ing but the bath tub and a curling iron Is a vexation unto her soul. Dur ing sudi weather, muoii in a lady’s ap pearance depends on the bath. Con stant- perspiring gives the face a leath ery look whicli may, in a measure, be couuteraoted by proper care in bath ing. A STEAM BATH. Take a steam bath, after wliioh rub yourself thoroughly and carefully. Follow tills with a plunge in oold water and a brisk sponging off that will bring a glow. Take a half hour’s rest and you will rise to find yourself at lenst two shades whiter and with an Invigorated, refreshed feeling that is unusual in summer weather. A little rose wnter or cologne in the bath, or a preparation of orris root, oat meal and fine toilet soap in small bags used for rubbing the body, will impart a deli cate and lasting odor and leave the flesh as soft and smooth as a baby’s. The majority of women do not realize bow much of their good looks depends on proper bathing. Did they, its preparation would receive as muoh at tention ns the making of a new dress or purchasing of a bonnet. . Persons on Broad street Frlday morning about8:30 o’clock saw a sight that drew smiles to their faces. From tip toward the artesian well came a novel turnout, oomposed of an extreme ly large, white ox, that had the ap pearance of having weathered the storms of many winters, pulling after him a two-wheeled road cart that * might have been made fifteen years ago. Heated complacently on the seat that swayed fearfully at every step of the bovine, doubly protected by a large, spreading umbrella and a yellow sunbonnet, sat the driver and sole oc cupant of the team, an old aunty of the “how-de-do” and “thanky, ma’am” order. The slow', deliberate plodding' of the ox, the measured creaky turning of the wheels, and contented, patient and unruffled take-vour-time looks of the driver all corresponded perfectly, and furnished a study for an artist, the equal of which is seldom seen. The prohibition .campaign in Au gusta has brought about a row and a split in the Broad Street Methodist church of that city. Mr. Louis F. Goodrich, who has been Superintend ent of the Sunday-school for several years, though a temperate man him self, does not regard prohibition under the local option law as effioaclous. For this reason the rabid prohibitionists can see in him nothing that is good, and denounce him as an advocate of bar-rooms and all the bad things that follow. They accordingly com menced to stop their children from attending Brother Goodrich’s Sunday- school, and that erstwhile pious gen tleman was called upon to resign, whioh he did. Nothing seems to de velop the cranks and fanatics in a community like a prohibition cam paign. 1 Hi
