Joseph Chamberlain, Sir George Campbell, Major-General Schofield, Mayor Hewitt, Hal ley Stewart, M. I*., and many other gentle men prominent in social or political life. After three hours’ attention had been given to the menu, President Smith arose and briefly outlined the objects of the chamber of com merce, declaring that they included the estab lishment of a navy, and the preservation of the harbor of New York. He then read let teis of regret from President Cleveland, Sen ator Sherman, Governor Hill, and others, president Cleveland says in his letter: It would certainly give me great pleasure to be present on that occasion to meet those who, to a ■great extent, have in charge the important business interests represented in your association. lam sure too. that I should derive profit as well as pleasure -tfl-i m such a meeting. These charged by the people witu the management of their government, cannot fail to enhance their usefulness by familiarity with the business, conditions, and intimacy with the business men of today, since good government has no more important mission than the stimulation and protection of the activities of tire country. "Tuis relation between the government and busi ness suggests the thought that membeis of such as sociations as yours owe to themselves and to all the .people of the laud a thoughtful discharge of their political obligation, guided by their practical kn iwledge of affairs, to th'' end that there may be impresed upon the administration of tire govern -Bne.it a business character and tendency free from the diversion of passion, and unmoved by sudden gusts of excitement. But the most wholesome pur pose of their political action will not be accomplished t>y an insistence uio.i their exclusive claims and selfish benefits, regardless of the welfare of the peo tole at large. Independence is so fully an element sn our national existence that a patriotic and gen erous heed to the general good seems to best sub (Serve every particular interest.” After reading the letter, the chairman pro posed the health of the President of the United States.

Mrs. Tilton Buys a Souvenir of Beecher. New York, November 18.—There was a bit of sentiment in an auction sale this week. Although it was a disposal of the effects of Henry Ward Beecher, little interest was ex cited outside of his personal friends, who at tended for the purpose of buying souvenirs of their beloved pastor. Books and bric-a-brac went, one after another, at about their original cost, until a tiny, paper-bound copy of Mrs. Browning’s poems was offered. The auction eer regarded it carelessly, but one person pres ent had discovered written on a fly leaf. “Theodore Tilton to Henry Ward Beecher,” and he bid it up slowly to sl, $2, $3, finally losing it to somebody who gave $5. . “Glad I didn’t get it,” he remarked; “it isn’t worth any such ridiculous price.” Who had paid $5 for a thing intrinsically worth no more than five cents? Elizabeth Tilton. The ostensible purchaser was an inti mate friend. Presumably Mrs. Tilton desired it as a joint memento of the two remarkable inen who once made such an awful commotion over her. What particular memory was to her associated with this gift of her husband to her pastor I do not know, but I do know that the little volumne is now at the bindery being covered handsomely in morocco. Clashing Liquor Laws in Maine. Augusta, Me., November 14—There is much interest still manifested in the imported liquor question in this section, Burns is selling his imported goods openly at the north end of Water street, disposing of a 1 irge quantity, and the prohi bitory law is nullified practically." It will perhaps be years before a decision is obtained from the courts, and a most determined effe.it is to be made at the coming session of congress to obtain the en actment of a section which si a’.l prevent clashing between the United States customs regulations and the state prohibitory law. Congressman Bingley will work willingly to secure such an enactment, Congressman Boutellie. of Bangor, when in the city recently, said he should do all in his power lu se cure protection through congress against imported liquor retailers. Bombs Found in St. Joseph. St. Joseph, Mo., November 17.—At five o’clock this morning, a large bomb was found on the steps of the city hall leading to the police sta tion An hour later another was found back of a wholesale grocery house. Both were taken to a point above the city on the river bank and exploded by the chief of police. The bombs were of dyna mite and evidently constructed by an cxpcit bomb maker.

Having landed tho wood-cutters and made everything right, we then—the captain, Lieutenant Dhanls and myself -sat down to dinner, and soon after It was over I turned in, being very tired. I should explain that th re arc no cabins. Our sleep ing places were at the stern of the boat, the captain's being farthest aft; our mosquito curtains were fas tened to her sides, and our camp mattresses reached right across her, as she is only about six feet in the beam. Cqt,i:iD was in high spirits, and kept playing tunes on a melodeon we had with us; talk ing in tho intervals of his home at Brussels and his delight at s ion seeing It again. Presently he poured out three glasses of Portuguese wine, and landed one to Lieutenant. Dhanis, and the other (under the mosquito cm tain) to me - I tusted it, and passed it out again with the re mark: “It's too strong: put some Congo in It” lie added a little water, and said: “Hang it, man, its pure water!” and I never heard him speak again; for, soon alter, I turned over and went to s e p, with tho strains of "Myosolis”—which I had asked him to play—ringing in my <a-s. Next morning, instead of being called by him. as usual, I slept on until roused by Lieutenant Dhanis, who came to me with a white, scared face, asking: ‘‘Where Is the captain?" "1 don’t know,” I replied. “I be lieve he's in the Congo," said Dhanis. Os course I was up like a sh >t. Sure enough, there was the captain's bed—his clothes, boot.', bat, ■ 11 lying be side It; his mospilo curtain untorn shove l ti nt nothing unu uul had taken pls-e, nnd I. could not have got a liore without awakening < it'.ei D!.. n s or myself, as the L-oat was anchored with her bow to the bunk.

MARVELOUS WEALTH DISCOVERED Prescott, Ari., November 15.—Private ad vices show that the recently discovered gold mine, ten miles from here, on tho Lassayampa river, is richer by far than anything ever dis covered in the world. The ore averages SI,OOO per ton and thousands of tons are In sight. Two men yesterday, with a common mortar, pounded out SBOO in less than an hour. The gold clings to tho rock in tho purest, scales. A. man with a knife can scale off a handful in a few minutes. There is every indication that tho ledgo contains fabulous wealth. This river has produced millions in years past in placer mining, and on one occasion a pocket was found which yielded SIOO,OOO in a few weeks. People aro flocking there in great numbers. SPORT IN DOUGHERTY. The Hunters Bring in Cheering Reports From tho Woods. Albany, Ga., November 17.—[Special.]— This place is becoming a paradise for sports men. Game appears to be unusually plentiful this season. Duck are seen flying over tho city end tho ponds west of us aro well covered with them. Hunting parties are going out every day. The supply of quail is as usual, plentiful, though the tall weeds and sedge grass through which the dogs have to make their way soon tiro them out, and conse quently tho quail shooting will be better later in tho season. Three fine deer have been brought into town this week, killed within a few miles of Albany - . C. E. Farring tmi and Tom Reynolds brought down two wflhin six miles of town, while yesterday, Messrs Bon and Bartow Jones brought in the third. Rev. Bascom Anthony, pastor of the Methodist church here, is passionately fond of field sports and a good specimen of muscular Christianity. Tho boys aro always delighted when tho parson, as they affectionately call him, goes with them on their hunts. I rather suspect that ho has not got over his “deer ague,” yet nor can subdue fully tha nervous thrill which tingles through the frame as after a period of excited waiting, tho deer comes bounding past the stand. “1 have :h it twenty-five times at deer,” I heard him say yesterday, and have only brought down one. Charlie Farrington is one of the crack shots here. “I have only been out hunting three times in seven years,” he told me yesterday - ,but Tom Nelson and I have agreed to spend Thanksgiving day hunting quail, and wo expect to bring in a bag that will set a task tho city sportsment for some time to come.” Lovers of field sports find a great variety of game around us to tempt them out with dog and gun. Wild turj key, squirrel and bears frequent the great for ests and swamps in tho oak and hickory re gion west of us. Even tho wily 'possum and elusive coon give pleasure to those who enjoy a night tramp with darkey, torches, axes and dogs. A ’possum supper, served up with its trimmings of savory - pstatoos and many other extras, including tho liquid refreshment to wash it down, is generally tho next evening’s wind up to a night in tho woods. Our restaurants from frequent practice have reached perfec tion in cooking this savory game. “I was outlast night with a party of fox hunters,” said Mr. J. 8. Pancloth, of this county. “Wo had started but, a short time when we camo upon the trail of a fox. After a run of about two hours and a half the fox completely fagged out, sought shelter up a pine sapling, and we shook him down to the dogs. A writer in T’hb Constitution,’ some time since, affirmed that foxes would never climb a tree. If he would come down and join us in our hunts, he would find out his mistake.” “Did you ever see a fox climb a sapling?" Your reporter next inquired of Mr. J. J. Hall, a prominent farmer of Dough erty county. “Yes,” ho replied, “it is a very common occurrence; they will seek safety by climbing up a sapling whenever they are hard pressed and exhausted.” Later in the season, in early spring, the sport will commence upon the streams around us, which are plentifully stocked with immense trout or black bass. Editor Mclntosh is among those fond of seeking the quiet waters o£ the Kinchefoonoe and Muckalee creeks, and after a few hours strolling returning home with a long string of fish. Captain William Parker, of Macon, is excessively fond of such sport. He has made some real estate investments here, and spends most of his time hunting and fishing in season. Early in the season ho puts in an ap pearance here with dog, gun and rod, and the pleasures of tho fields and streams gener ally tempt him to remain the greater portion of tha year. DRYING UP. Bad State of Affairs in the Mississippi Val ley. Memphis, November 19.—For the past ten days forest fires have been raging all around this section of the country ami a dense smoko has overhung the city. Reports this afternoon are of a serious nature. Travel over the Kan sas City road has been temporarily suspended by the forest fires. Great damage is also reported to fences and farm houses along tho lines of the Louisville and Nashville, Chesapeake and Ohio and Southwetteni, Mississippi and Ten nesee and Louisville, New Orleans and Texas railroads from these fires. A train on tho Chesapeake and Ohio, which left hero last evening, was delayed several hours north of this city owing to tho flames which swept across the track at various points. The greatest danger is to be feared from burned trestles and bridges, and none of the trains on the roads mentioned are running on schedule time. The long continued drouth, which has prevailed since July, has literally dried up the country, and navigation is in a bad condition. Steamboats cannot find sufficient water even in the Mis sissippi river to carry full cargoes, and many of its tributaries, too, aro lower than ever known before. A steamboat man reports that the sunken lands near New Madrid, Mo., where extensive depressions were made in the country by the earthquake of 1814, and which have since been converted into swamps and lakes, aro now nearly dry from tho drouth and tho low water in the river, and vegetable matter and lodges, which have long been buried there, have taken lire and been burning for days. As a consequence many square miles of that country are on fire, which is bumingout acccmninulated peat and vegetable mold, where it is dry enough. Nothing of the kind has been experienced for a great number of years, according to the oldest inhabitants. The bottom lands of tho Alississippi valley arc also on fire,and considerable damapo is being done to valuable timber, and farmers in many instances have been compelled to fight these fires to save their ginhouses from destruction. A high wind prevails tonight, which will no doubt cause serious disaster. Telegraphic communication to points in Ar kansas is seriously interrupted, and messages are received “subject to delay.” The extent of these fires cannot be estimated. They cover large portions of Tennessee, Mississippi and Arkansas, and continue to spread. ibaiby’® SKIN & SCALP X c L EAN 5E D \ PURIFIED \and BEAUTIFIED J’OK I.Wj.
