Milledgeville, Q&., Apr. 28,1886. 41 tf A Berrien Springs, Mich., family of four persons live on lllc. a week, ex clusive of home rt-nt. Frank Crawford, of Galesburg, III., was released from the Springfteld(Ill.) jail, and an hour later was run over and killed by the cars. A colored man in Carrollton, Mo., stole a ham, was arrested, convicted and sentenced to eleven days in the county jail, all within two hours time.

Deer have been so plentiful in the woods of Northern YVisconsin this win ter that many of them have been captured alive by the men in the luur her camps, the snow rendering it ilif. ficult for them to escape when pur sued. _ if the 60,000,000 codfish annually taken off the Newfoundland coast were left in the sea, it is estimated that there would be a yearly addition of 150,000,000.000,000 of young codfish for future treaty wranglers to get muddled over. Mme. T^yssaud has added to her col lection of relics the camp bedstead on which the Duke of Wellington slept the night before Waterloo. It is a simple one of ropes and wood, and is barely six feet in length, with the merest pretence to a mattress. One recent morning when the ground was so covered with sleet as to be very slippery, J. D. Helton, ofClifton, Tenn., chased four deer live miles and captured them all. They could hardly stand on the ice and soon became thoroughly exhausted.

Some women seem to bo in earnest in seeking to hold the reins of polit ical power and authority. Some of that semi-masculine sex, termed tho “National Woman’s Suffrage Asso ciation of tlie United States" met In Washington, on tho 26th of March, to celebrate tho 40th anniversary of the first Woman’s Rights convention. The meeting was held in Albrough’s grand opera house. Thoy were, cer tainly, in earnest, for it was a very cold and rhiny day. At 10:30, Susan B. Anthony, vice president, called the convention to order. There were seated upon the stage something over a hundred delegates from na tional woman’s rights and kindred societies, not only in this but other countries. About thirty associations of this character, wore represented in council which is, probably the largest gathering of notable women in the history of this country. Among the ladies seated upon the stage, were Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Susan B. Anthony, Lucy Stone, Matilda Jos- lyn Gage, May Wright Sowell, Clara B. Colby, Elizabeth Breuton Harbet, Julia Ward Howe, Clara Barton, Frances E. Willard and many others who were pioneers in the cause of woman’s suffrage. Elizabeth Stan ton delivered the address of welcome and reviewed, at some length, the history of the suffrage movement.— We give a very brief outline of tho main pointsof her address. The ob ject, she stated, yas to celebrate the 4()th anniversary of the first organiz ed demand ever made by woman for the right of suffrage. Initiative steps were taken in my native state, she said, in 1848. Tw r o conveentions were held in New York, and the same ear tho married women's property bill passed the legislature. She went on to state that advanced legislation was adopted in Ohio, Indiana, Mas sachusetts, Pennsylvania and other States, Thus started, she said, the greatest movement for human liber ty recorded on the pages of history, the demand for freedom to one-half of the entire race. The key-note struck in this country in ’48, has been echoed round the world and to say we celebrate our fortieth anni versary in person or by letter, from nearly every state in the Union, and from Great Britain, France, Finland, Italy, Sweden, India, Denmark and Norway. The wdrld, she said, is my country, and all mankind my coun trymen—is the motto that cannot be echoed and re-echoed round the globe too often to keep our sympa tliies alive to the wail and war of the human race. This is certainly a vast field for the wail and the war of the women, and we feel sure tho distinguished lady overdraws the picture in her excited imagination. She adds—our laws and constitu tions, our creeds and codes, and the customs of social life, are all of mas culino origin. Tho free woman is is yet, a dream of the future. All this work referred to is the testimony which man has paid to woman’s su premacy, virtues and charms. To make her a voter, a ■ law-maker, or invest her otherwise, with onerous public duties, would be to make her comparatively a slave. It would certainly overtask her. Female gov ernment, as it is, makes her the pre cious .idol of her home, add to it the voter and the law-maker, fill woman’s mind with crude and turbulent spec ulations, in other words, make her a politician, and all the refined and delicate sensibilities of her nature will be commingled with cunning, stratagem and insolence on the one hand or discreditable servility on the other. Let her remain as she la the beloved companion, the careful teacher and protector of her children, unsullied partner of her husband, the rose, the queen and the joy of the household. Washington Letter, From Our Regular Correspondent. Buenos Ayres, in the Argentine Republic, is now the largest city in South America, the census of 1887 giving it a population of 434,000. The population of the entire country has increased 175 per cent, in the last twenty years, while that of the Uni ted States in the same peroid of time has imereased only 79 per sent.

Editors Union Rkcordkr: Revenue reform lias made some per ceptible headway during the past week. It looks now as if the Mills tui iff bill stood a good chance to pass the House. The Improvement in the outlook is not owing to any conver sions having been made among the democratic followers of Mr. Randall— they are still ns obstinate as the one man who abused the other eleven on the jury because they would not agree with him,—but is owing principally to a revolt in the republican ranks, against the high protection policy. This revolt is led by Mr. Nelson, of Minnesota, who made one of the strongest revenue reform speeches yet heard in the House, Thursday. He went over tho whole question in a masterly manner; he favors tiie re tention of the internal revenue taxes, and a gpneral lowering of the tariff. In regard to high wages and high tariff, he said: "It has been the fash ion to ascribe the higher wages of this country to the tariff. I consider that a false pretense. England has free trade, while Austria, Germany, Italy, anil France have protection, and yet wages are much higher in England than in either of the other countries. The main cause of the low wages in Europe, is to be found in the density of population, and greater supply of labor.” It iH thought that the number of republicans who prac tically agree with Mr. Nelson, is large enough to ensure the passage of the Mills bill, if they do not allow them selves to be whipped back into the party traces. The report of the majority of the ways and means committee on the Mills tariff bill, which has been pre maturely made public, though it 1ms not been yet presented to the House; is an able document, and should be spread broadcast among the people. It will doubtless make many conver sions to revenue reform. The President went to New York Friday, to attend the funeral of Ex- Governor Dorsheimer. Today was the eighth and last day of the International Council of YVo- men. It has been a great success in every respect. The funeral of the late Chief Justice YVaite, in the Hall of the House of Representatives, on YVednesday last, was largely attended. The bills pensioning Mrs. Gen. Lo gan and Mrs. Gen. Blair have passed the House. They got $2,000 a year. The naval board of coaNt defenses organized last year, are to be called upon to investigate the matter of de fenses. There is an appropriation of $2,000,000 available for this work, and Secretary YVliitney is anxious that it should he judiciously used. Gen. Terry lias applied to the Secre tary of War to be examined for retire ment. Bad health is the reason. It is extremely doubtful whether the present House will ever vote to repeal the limitation clause—limiting the time to July 1, 1880, as tho latest date for filing claims under the ar rears of pension act of 1870. There are several bills of this nature before the House committee on pensions. A sub-committee has been appointed to consider them, and report to tlie full committee. Gen. Black, Commission er of Pensions, estimates that it will require between $200,000,000and $300,- 000,000 to pay all the claims for ar rears of pensions, should the limita tion clatise be repealed. The republicans of the Senate are in a badly demoralized condition. They held a caucus Thursday, in or der to endeavor to bring about party liarmony, but it was a very bad fail ure. The caueus was called to act on the bill authorising the Secretary of the Treasury to purchase U. S. bonds, which baa passed the House, and is now before the Senate. Senator Stan ford and several others announced that they would not be bound by cau cus action on this or any other finan cial measure. The caucus, after ap pointing a committee of eleven to ar range the order of business, and re port the same to another caucus to be held this week, adjourned.

It is not believed that a Chief Jus tice will he appointed for some time to come, possibly not until after the summer recess of the Supreme Court. It is still thoqglit by those who should know, if anyone other than Mr. Cleve land does, that Speaker Carlisle or postmaster General Dickinson will get tiie appointment. But of course that does not prevent the names of other gentlemen being mentioned. YVlio- ever it wifi he, the appointment is sure to reflect honor on Mr. Cleve land and the Democratic party. THE COLONEL WAS COMPLI MENTED. A Character Sketoh—Painted From Real Life. Col. Gilmore, the planter, was standing in ills yard when Jasper Col lins, an old negro who rented a few acres of tiie colonel's plantation, came up and witli a great flourish of cour tesy said: “W’y good niawuiu' col’n; good inawnin’. Neber did see er man look so young an’ fresh. Cla’ fo’ goodness I thought you wm some young man standin’ out yere, haw, haw.

YVall, I must be gwine. I got ter go down yere now and chop enougli wood ter buy dat chile some close. YVe’se mighty po’ down ter mer house. YVush I did hab er about $10 ter fix dat chile up. It’s awful ter let sich er bright chile ez dat go wid- out close. By der way, col’n, kain’t you let me have $10 to fix dat inon- stus boy up." “Of course I can,” the colonel re plied, as he took out his pocket-book. “Here is a $10 note, old man. Take it and get what the boy needs and if you have any money left buy some thing for your wife.” “Thankee, sab, thankee, kain’t hardly see you fur dese yere tears o’ gratitude. Ob, sah, dis will be a hap py day in my po’ house. Thankee, sah, thankee.

YVhat you wanter come talkin’ ter me dat way for?” Hhe took her bonnet by the strings and playfully struck at the colonel. Come talkin’ ter me dat way w’en mer youngest chile is plow in' out yonder In de flel’. Go on, I tell you (noticing the strange ex pression on the colonel’s face.) Ef you keeps on lookin’ at me dat way I'll holler, sho.” "YVhere Is Jasper, Aunt Judy?” "Don’t know, sah, but I reckon de trilling scoundrel is out in de woods gamblin’ wid dem niggers.” The colonel went into the woods. He saw several men throwing dice in the great game of craps. He ap proached cautiously. Jasper was kneeling on an old door which the negroes had ta]fen Into the woods. Come bone six,” exclaimed^asper, as he threw the dice; and then seeing the colonel, he swept the dice off the board, put them into his pocket, jumped up and said: “YV’y, yere’s de col’n. Come out yere, we did, sah, ter rig up some plan to ketch dem moles dat’s rootin’ de co’n bodatlously up, an’ we gwine ter ketch ’em, too. See ef we doan'.” How is your bright child, Jasper?” the colonel asked. ‘Monstus well, sah; monstus. Nev er did see slch er well chile ez he is. Oh, you aiu’ gwine ter be ashamed o’ him, sah, you ain’ for er fack.” He hasn’t torn the quilt yet, has he?” “Yas he has, sah; yas he has..

YV’at you think o’ er chile like dat?” “A very remarkable child, I must say. But you haven’t heard the lat est news from hhu. I met your wife just now and she told me that her youngest boy was out In the field plowing.” The old negro clapped one hand on his right hip, drew up his leg, griuued hi a manner and said: “Got de rheuiuatiz so bail 1 doan know w at I’se doin’ lia'f de time. Oh, Lawd, I'doan’ blebe I gwine lib but er little w'ile longer. Goes roun' de neighborhood sometimes anil doan’ know wliat I'se been talkin' about." He leaned against a tree and screwed up his face into an expressioil of pretended misery.” “Jasper,” said the colonel, “my well needs cleaning out, arid there fore 1 am sorry for you, for, not be ing ubie to do the work you will be compelled to repay that $10 or go to the penitentiary.” “I'se gittin' er little better now. sab.

There is no better preventive of ner vous exhaustions than regulur, un hurried, muscular exercise. If we could moderate our hurry, lessen our worry and increase our open air exer cise, a large proportion of nervous dis eases would be abolished. For those who cannot get a sufficient holiday the best substitute is an occasional day in bed. Many whose nerves are constantly strained in their daily' avo cation have discovered this for them selves. A Spanish merchant in Bar celona told his medical men that he always went to bed for two or three days whenever he could be spared from his business, and he laughed at those who spent holidays on toilsome mountains. One of the hardest work ed women in England, who has for many years conducted a large whole sale business, retains excellent nerves at an advanced age, owing, it is be lieved, to her habit of taking one day a week in bed. If we cannot avoid frequent agitation we ought, it posi- ble, to give the nervous system time to recover itself between the shooks. Even an hour’s seclusion after a good lunch will deprive a hurried, anxious day of much of its injury. The nerves can often be overcome by stratagem when they refuse to be-oon- trolled by strength of will.
