We put.them down as the last precinct

ant.memories. We return the thanks of
the whole office to tho, gonerous donor,
and hold ourselves always ready to sam

everybody try them if they don’t believe
we are right. Accompanying the lunch
was some of his best wines. Those who
have visited the Sample Rooms know
what they are, and those who have not
ought to go earl yj this morning and try
it. You will feel ricli and good. Long
live tho Sample Rooms, and its thought

Killing at Lumpkin.
From a note sent here yesterday from
Mr. Hines to his son Mr. T. J. Hines, we
learn Mr. DeWitt Hines was killed In
Lumpkin by the Marshal of that place, on
election day. The note gave no [particu
lars of tha oceurronoe,|nor.havo wo been
able to learn anything further than he
was shot In the head and instantly killed.
The deceased was a young man about
twenty-eight years of age, and we believe
the youngest brother of Mr. T. J. Hines,
who Is clerking for Deaton Jc Son.
The killing took place at 12 o’clock on
the night of the election. The marshal
of the town who killed him has fieri the
State. His name Is Win. Hawes, jr.
Mr. Hines was a hlghtoned, chivalric
young man, full of fire and enthusiasm.
He has a number of warm friends who
will regret to hear of his death.

THE LAST SHOT AT OPELIKA.
ELOQUENT AND TELLING SPEECHES BY
MAJ. JAMES F. WADDELL AND
JUDGE FERN M. WOOD.
Opelika, Ala., Nov. 7, 1876.
Editors of the Columbus Times: On last
ovening our city wag.abioze with patriotic
enthusiasm, and therejwas an unusually
large turn out of our people to hoar Maj.
James F. Waddell discuss tho great polit
ical lssuos of tho day, and nobly did he
sustain the splendid reputation he has
so justly acquired .as' an accomplished
orator.
Hon. F. M. Wood, by request, opened the
fire on the enemy In an oloquont Im
promptu speech, which was well received
and heartily cheered. Maj. Waddell's
spoech was able, eloquent and Interesting,
and In vigor of thought, eloganco of ex
pression patriotic fervor has rarely boen
surpassed. Wo have never seen a more
appreciative audience than that which
for nearly two hours was enchained by
tho eloquence that fell from tho lips of
Maj. James F. Waddell, one of Alabama's
most gifted speakers.
Nobly are our poople battling In behalf
of the great cause of reform, and may a
beneflcient Providence crown their otforts
with success. Yours truly,

Diphtheria and It* Remedy.
A small quantity of either sulphato of
Iron, tannin, or chlorate of potash, put
dry upon tho tongue, and allowed to dis
solve there, once in every hour, have been
found most efficient remedies in tho early
ages of diphtheria. This terrible disease
appears under throe varieties of forms:
Ist, There is a fever, sovoro pains in tho
back, bones and limbs, and very great
prostration. There may be no soreness
of the throat, but, on oxarnlnlng It, small
white specks will bo noticed on the ton
sils, but fow or none on tho rest of the
throat. These cases will recover under
any and every variety of treatment in four
to six days. The groat, but false, reputa
tion of many physicians and remedies is
based upon necessarily favorable result
of those causes. 2nd, Largo patches of
false morabrane will bo observed, both on
tho tonsils and back of the throat; but the
glandsot the nock do not become swollen.
The majority of theso c.isos will also re
cover under very simple treatment, un
less tho diseaso extends down to tho wind
pipe, which it rarely does. 3rd, Truo ma
lignant diphtheria, with swelling of the
glands of the neck under the jaw; pro
fuse and often offensive exudations in tho
mouth and throat; moro or less discharge
from the nostrils. Chlorate of potash is a
disinfectant as well as a curativo remedy,
and it given pure and dry upon the tongue,
every hour, night und day, will rarely dis
appoint tho practitioner. A small dose,
every night, may act as a preventive rem
edy. Sometimes tannin may be given
more readily than tho clorate of potash.
The sulphate of iron is rather more irri
tant, snd must be given in smaller quan
tities. Tho main points in tho use of these
remedies are to give them dry upon the
tonge, and frequently and regularly, botli
night and day.
The Creeds of Turkey.
Two statements from tho East of u very
doubtful character—that a general massa
cre of all tho Christians in Bulgaria has
been agreed upon, witli tho sanction of
tho Government in Constantinople, ond
that tiie Mohamraodans are secretly be
ing organized for tho purpose of destroy
ing all the Christians in the Old World.
Apparently tho inventors of such reports
take it for granted that tho Christians
will submit, in both cases—which, to say
the least of it, is rather doubtful. It is
curious that tho statistics, in various
works of reference, differ very materially
as to tho number of Mohammedans.
Chambers’ Encyclopedia, published in
1863, informs us that "'there are counted
about 130,000,000 this day all over the
globe who profess Islam.” Frederick Mar
tin’s Statesman’s Year-Book estimates all
tho world's creeds, with theso Ugures:
Mohammedans, 204,000,000; Buddhists,
405,000,000; Christians, 399,000,000; Brali
manists, 174,000,000; nondescript “heath
ens,” 111,000,000, and Jews, 5,000,000.
the Mohammedans there are 40,000,000 un
der British rule in India, Mr. Martin tells
us, and 17,000,000 under Turkish rule in
Europe, Asia and Africa. Thus it appears
the followers of tho prophet by no means
preponderate, being fewer than the Budd
hists and Christians, and very little more
numerous titan tho Brahmanists in India.
A writer in Fraser’s Magazine for the pres
ent month says: “If Christendom seems
to tho Asiatio Turks to be making a cru
sade against tho orescent, no moral power
will remain in the Sultan to restrain the
fanatical hatred of Christians which may
be aroused in Asia.”
New Crop New Orleans Molasses.
The first auction salt of importance of
the new crop Louisiana molasses took
place yesterday, 800 barrels being dispos
ed of at 60c to 05 l-2c per gallon, being
from the cargoes of the Steamers “Al
giers” and “Knickerbockeo,” which ar
rived from New Orleans yesterday morn
ing. These prices are considerably lower
than those ruling at this time last year,
when the prices were 80c to 85c. The
first installment of the new crop arrived
here earlier than usual this season, a lit
tle over a week ago, and though the open
ing prices wore about the same as those
obtained at this time in 1875, there has
since been a rapid decline. The crop is
expected to be much larger than last
year, it it will not exceed the yield of any
j'ear since the war.—JV. Y. Bulletin, ith.

AROUT THE EAR.
Hit* Ibr Shape of Ihe Ortaa aoy Musi
cal Mlpnt Menace I
A wri'er in the London Musical KorW
•ay: A recent cursoiy deicription of the
well-known Mozartcum, from the pen of an
intelligent correspondent of a daily paper,
mentions the fact that amongst the intercut
ing relics of the divine composer exhibited
to the public gaze at Zalzburg, is a drawing
of liis ear, showing an abnormally large
bell, as though nature intended him to be a
gifted listener. It is noteworthy that in all
porlraita, except those painted by the un it
self, next to the boots, the ear seems to pre
sent to the painter the greatest difficulty. It
is rarely one sees a shoe beautifully drawn
—perhaps it is still rarer that the ordinary
covering lor the feet presents anything that
can he made beautiful, even by a skillful
draftsman. With the ear the observer can
not help remarking the same absence ol in
dividuality. Anything will do for an car,
and a daub or two, that would with equal
proprielPhrepreseiit a dried fig or an oyster,
would Jo duty for the above organ. In call
ing attention to this matter, I venture to sub
mit the results of some of my own observa
tions, in the hope that something more may
be elicited on this, as I believe, most inter
ing question. And I shall he extremely
glad if any person who is of opinion that
my conclusions are premature or erratic
will kindly contribute the result of his or her
individual experience. Small ears are inva
riably under great disadvantage. Large
ears are usually indicative of a more com
prenensive taste. A narrow harp orbai p
like opening always denotes a good car for
music. If the harp is very regular you may
safely prognosticate a- correct intonation.
For a singer, the rim must be very even,
and the circle unbroken. Any protuber
ance of the rim of the ear will occasion a
slight discrepancy of detonation; the singer
will not he at all times alike. Some have a
double harp; this is dangerous to the success
of the singer. A perfect double rim is, on
the other hand, highly advantageous. This
is, however, open to the weakness of being
satisfied with sweet sounds of any kind.
The ear without a rim is the most dainty
and difficult to please. It appears to receive,
almost, as it wete by selection, only the
best sounds; ordinary sounds have no at
traction of the car. Seeing that we have
casts of pianists'hands, would it not be as
instructive to have casts of composers’ ears?
Surely the one is as important to tha musical
student as the other.
The Cause of the 'Nploslon.
From the Keokuk Constitution.)
‘I would invite you to my house, brudder

ed from church last Sunday evening, ‘but I
dunno as well get any supper dis night, the

‘What’s the matter wid de stove?’
‘Why, you see cold vvedder am cornin’ on

had gone to bed owin to the lateness ob de

unhonest transaction, wrote out his note for

Watered Lard ;atid How .to Detect It.
Now York Grocer.]
There is considerable complaint in some
quarters of adulterated lard being crowded
upon customers, and circulars have been
issued recently by Chicago houses charging
this fraud upon Eastern refiners. 1 here are
doubtless some of the small refiners engaged
in the production of adulterated lard, but
the most ot this sort of wash that is put upon
the market comes from the Southwestern
refineries. In order that dealers may know
how to test this spurious article, we subjoin
directions for making a simple test for wa
ter:
Take a clear glass bottle, fill it with the
lard to be tested (leaving out the cork); place
this bottle about six inches from the stove
or fire, and let the lard slowly melt, being
very careful not to get it up to the boiling
point, as the water would then evaporate;
most of the water will slowly fall to the bot
tom of the bottle, and the lard now’ melted
williiseto the top. By glancing at the
amount of water now deposited at the bot
tom of the bottle, as compared with the
amount of oil (or lard) above it, you can
easily tell about how much water there is in
the fraudulent article. Should the lard not
settle clear, nor precipitate much water, it
is an evidence that it is also adulterated
with alkali, which serves to combine a part
of the water with the lard, making a soap of
it, which does not precipitate readily with
the water.

A Spiritual Diploma.
Loudon Lancet.]
Not to be behind more mundane
personages, the suppositious spirits
which are so successfully befooling
weak-minded mortals have deemed
It necessary to Issue diplomas for tho
distinguishing, in tho interests of tho
human race,true from false mediums.
But here Is tv difficulty; the spirits
undertake to guarantee tho mediums,
but who will guarantee the spirits?
We do not know whether any Eng
lish mediums have ns yet been hon
ored by diplomas. Our information
is from ltussiun sources, und espe
cially relates to a certain Russian
medium, M. Sidoroff, who died not
long ago. Among his pupers his execu
tors found the diploma, of which tho
following is a translation:
“Re-iucatnation and evocation of
spirits: No. 11. Continuity of life
from age to age and world to world.
Diploma: The legion of spirits, re
cognizing your uniont and unlimited
zeal for tho science which reveals tho
mysteries of the supernatural power
of spirits, consecrate you a medium,
in order that you may serve as a link
of union between tho material world
and the immaterial world, and may
transmit to the profane manifesta
tions from the spirit world. In
token whereof the presentdiploma is
conferred upon you. Paris, Jan. 1,
1876. Renurd, Great Pontiff. Gizo,
Secretary. Conferred upon Apollon
Sidoroff.”
How it comes to pass that a Paris
inediumistic circle should have been
inspired to constitute itself a univer

Two Notalilc Letters.
Senator Gordon, of Georgia, writes
a letter to the New York Tribune ex
posing the misstatements or igno
rance of a Soflth Carolina correspon
dent of tho Tribune. Ho shows that
instead of Wade Hampton being art
original secessionist and lire-ea’er
he was almost the only prominent
Union man working and voting in the
State Convention against the ordi
nance of secession; that he was de
manding the enfranchisement of the
negro and his investiture with citi
zenship when Morton was denying
that be was capable of exercising the
one or of properly enjoying the
other.
From an able, representative
Southern man, it i8 a cairn, dignified
statement of the situation from a
man who is recognized us truthful
and honest by nil who know him.
He shows how false and baseless are
the accusations ugainst the Demo
crats of South Carolina, and how
necessary it is for the interest of all
the people, white and black, that the
Republican government shall be de
feated, It is an earnest and effectiive
appeal to the Northern people.
In the same issue we find a pitiful
appeal front ex-Senator Brownlow,
idealess, empty and garrulous, with
an old'man’s gaze backward toward
dangers that environed him lifteen
years ago. He fears a revival of the
Confederacy, and calls on the North
ern people to rally to preserve the
Union. We are willing to believe
that infirmities and age have clouded
tho reason which can indulge suclt
puerilities as ODly belong to second
childhood, and we do not care on the
eve of victory to criticise as it de
serves.— Naeliville American.
A Montana squatter built a small frame
shanty on another man’s land, and, when he
was requested to move, positively declined
to do so. One night a small company of
settlers gathered around his cabin while he
and his wife were asleep, and, lifting the
whole concern, occupants and shanty, with
great deliberation and ease, carried it to the
river and se' it on a small ralt. Then they
pushed the raft out into the stream and cast
it adrift. When the squatter got up in the
morning he found himself many miles down
stream.

fpilK POLITICAL CAMPAIGN OF 1R76, WHICH
1 includes National. HUtn and county election*,
and which will undoubtedly be the west active
and hotly contested of any wince the memorable
canvass of 1860, ia now fairly opened. The Na
tional Democratic Party will this year make a
Wold, vigorous, and doubtless successful strug
gle for the* maintenance and supremacy of those
principles which are vital to the prosperity of
the Republic and essential t r tho well-being of
the people.
In addition to tho Presidential election, the
people in Georgia and Florida will elect new
Statu governments. In Florida the campaign
promises to be unusually vigoroua, and there is
a probability that for the first time since the war
the people of that Radical-ridden State will elect
a Democratic State Government. In these cam
paigns the poople of the South are deeply inter
ested; and ever* intelligent citizen, who has the
welfare of his country and his section at heart,
should acquaint himself with every detail of the
great work of reaemition and reform that ia now
going on.
TANARUS this end he should subscribe to and &9si6t
in circulating the *a vtumult MoriiiiiK News.
an independent DemocratV newspaper, of pro
uounced opinions and fearless in their expres
sion ; a paper that is recognized everywhere as
the beat d-uly in the South. Its editorial de
partment is vigorous, thoughtful and consistent,
while its news and local departments are marvels
of industry and completeness. Its department
of Georgia and Florida aflairs is not confined to a
mere barren summary ol events transpirlnj in
those States, but is enlivened by comment at
once apt, timely, and racy.
The ample resources of the establishment will
be devoted to furnishing the readers of the
MORNING NEWS
with the latest intelligence *rom all parts of the
world, through the press dispatches, special tel
egrams, and by means of special correspondence;
and through these agencies the paper will be the
