A Washington special says that Senator Sherman, of Ohio, has made np his mind not to be a candidate for the United States Senate. "Oxce in four years 5,000,000 people set to writing letters," said Prcsi/"'lAwalniwl ifkft nminr VIVVCIUIIU HIV VIIIVI v..?; J "and this time I am getting them." The City Council of Baltimore, throngh Mayor Latrobe, has invited President-elect Cleveland so acopt the hospitalities of the city in going from Albany to Washington to be inaugurated. ^ & The Illinois dead-lock still continues with no prospects of a break, unless the death of the Republican member which occurred on Thursday will give the Democrats the inside track on their Republican friends. It is said that hundreds of poorlyclad Americaus who attended the monument dedication on Saturday in honor of the Father of His Country, who died from catching cold, wished to celebrate hisjbirth by imitating his death. Marquis Salisbury has moved a voteofcenture on the Egyptian policy of the English government, and in submitting, his motion sternly rebuked the government for its course. His motion was greeted with applause, showing very clearly that many thought as he did. By a close vote the 2Scw Jersey Senate has resolved to submit a liquor prohibition constitutional amendment to the voters of the State. It is thought the bill will fail in the House, but in the event of its passage by that body it will likely encounter a veto from Governor Abbott. Aftek an exciting and lengthy debate the North Carolina Senate passed the bill making an appropriation for the State University by a vote of So to 9. This shows that the University is looken unon favorably bv a <?ood maioritv in the Senate, and they desire a State* Institution for higher education for the young men of the State. The New Orleans Exposition seems to be regaiuing favor, as the receipts are increasing every dav. The news that the House has passed an additional appropriation has raised the spirits ot exhibtors and has been received with gratification by all friends of the Exposition. It is to be hoped that the Senate will act with wisdom and endorse the action of the House. Carl Schurz wound up his Southern tour in Louisville, where he said: "I have been in every State in the South, and except in a few sections I find the people energetic, improving and hopeful. I have been much interested by my vlsiir ami X Til CtlC bOUlil that I did not dream was there. I have been lecturing some and observing more and I was loth to leave that country. Some Democrats are growling Ixscause Mr. Cleveland appears to have a preferance for Senators as his advisers. They say that it will not benefit the Senate "nor the Democratic party to make his Cabinet largely composed of Senators, Mr. Hewett wisely remarks that when the Cabinet is announced there will be a surprise to everybody as it may be that most of the members have not yet been named. A correspondent in the Manufacturers' Record, writing from North Carolina, says there are good openings here in Dixie for men with capital to invest in the frnit canning business. At Trvon Citv. N. C., on the line of the Asheville & Spartanburg Railroad, such an establishment would pav, as an abundance of the finest fruit is grown there, the peaches, pnars and apricots being exceedingly fine. Augusta Chronicle'. Vilas is about forty-five years old and handsome. He has a fine presence, easy maimers, and is called "a right good fellow" by the Wisconsiners of both parties. lie has sufficient wealth to entertain handsomely and a wife who will like to do it. They say he has brains enough to fill any position in the Cabinet, the Treasury excepted, but solely because he has not given special study to finance. Col. Fred Grant, son of General Grant in conversation with a friend in New York some days ago, stated that his father was in a very dangerous condition. His physicians seera to be despondent, and admit that the cancerous growth at the root of his tongne is steadily increasing, and that there was very little hopes of hi* recovery. He is affected verv much like the late Ben Hill of Georgia. It is believed by ! some that the cause is the direct result of incessant smoking. A vvorkingmex's club of Philadelphia, give Col. A. I?.

Senator Lamar and Carl Sclmrz j were closely closetcd with Mr. Cleve- j land for four hours on last Monday, i and it is stated that when they left the j Cabinet slate was practically coinnlct- j ed. This slate places Senator Lamar as Secretary of the Interior, wliich j T&mcK*i^iZ&azxamtmmmmBmaiUui39aas&SSE3i will give the Sorith two placcs in the Cabinet. Mr Cleveland is very quiet in making up [his Cabinet, and we would not be surprised to %ec him place several men in his Cabinet who have not yet been named by the press. The following- is the sentiments ex j pressed by Frank Hnrd, the champion freetrader in an inter view with a newspaper correspondent: Frank Hard says that he figures out a clear majority in the next House for the opponents of the protective tariff. "We sh.ill elect Mr. Carlisle Speaker, and can pa?s the Morrison bill or any measure of like character without dit" \fr FJmvl thinlrs if-, will he | impossible for the incoming AdminisJ tration to remain neutral or indifferent i to the tariff, because that question will j press for a settlement in the treaties. | A correspondent sent out by the I Cincinnati Enquirer has created quite a disturbance in Macon, Ga., over a letter which he had sent to his paper, containing an account of an imaginary scandal of'that city which had been ignored by the local press. It involves some of the best families of that city. 1 ^ A.Am fI?A nloAA Kufi wrt j TOC iiUiu pitivv* wtiviv his letter came out in the Enquirer. The Greenville 2xew$ gently reminds others cities that it might be well to secure him an advance horse-whipping in the next city he visits. Fbom the following it would seem that Vilas has his eye on the Senate instead of Cabinet portfolio: A special dispatch to the New York Times from Madison, Wis., says that Colonel Vilas has never had any hopes |of going into the Cabinet. He says 31 r. Cleveland would hardly give a Cabinet position to a State "that cast its electoral vote for Blaine. Colonel Vilas has frequently said he would not break up his law practice to go to Congress, but it is thought that he is now actively working for a seat in the United States Senate. The next Senatorial election will be held two years hence, when the Democrats hope to control the Legislature. The Thornwell Orphanage at Clinton, S- C., was recently the happy recipient of a donation from Mrs. Mo Cormick, the widow ot the late Cyrus ^ ? ' * x - r it. jacuormiCK, rne lnveiuur ui me McCormick reaper. She gives $1,500 for the erection of an additional building for orphan boys. It will be a memorial building and will be built according to a plan of the donor. She has sent a yonng and accomplished architect to select a suitable site for the building. The donor will be long remembered by the orphans of that institution. ! Some ofthe Renresentatives received a lengthy communication from President-elect Cleveland some few days ago in reply to a request that he should hear both sides before committing himself on the silver question?in his inaugural address. In this communication he stoutly urges the cessation ol the coinage of silver, supporting his j views by good reasoning. He fears ! that unless some legislation is enacted j to this end that we may have a finan| cial crises. This'communication is still I in the hands of some of the members of the House, and will be given to the press lo-dav, that all may sec just exactly where the new President stands on the silver qnestion. A correspondent of the News and Courier from Washington, gives an account of a meeting he'd in reference to the distribution ot i>eaeral offices. Wc clip the account of the meeting: A conference cf the South Carolina delegation with reference to the distribution of Federal patronage was held on Saturday in Colonel Aiken's coraj mittee room: Senator Butier explaini cd the reasons for inviting the conference. Senator Hamptou and others expressed their views on the subject. All deprecated the idea that the consultation had been regarded in the light of a caucus at which the spoils were to be divided. After agreeing that the proceedings of the conference should not be divulged until a final agreement is reached, the delegation adjourned to meet again on Monday. The impression is that members of tlie House will be consulted with regard to certain appointments, but the proposition to decide a candidate's merits bv ballot will probably be abandoned. The delegation is extremely reticent. Me. IIaxdall, Chairman ot the House Committee on Appropriation, is of the opinion that there will be no extra session of Congress. He says all regular appropriation bills will be nassed bv the House before the end of this week. The Naval bill will be called up for further discussion and after its passage, consideration of the General Deficiency bill will be asked. The Appropriations Committee will report the Sundry Civil bill atid Mr. Randall will endeavor to secure its passage under suspension of the rules. This bill will contain a provision auj thorizing the President, in his discre tioii, to stop the coinage of silver for one year beginning; with the first of next July. Iu moving the passage of the bill under suspension of the rules the provision relative to silver coinage will be excepted, and a separate vote in the ordinary way will be asked upon it. The Fortification bill will probably be reported <"0 the Ronse. It will be similar to the bill of last year, making provision simply for the repair ! and preservation of existing works. | The Senate has under consideration the Post Office Appropriation ill; and it is expected that action will be reached to-day. A^sub-committee of the ; Senate Committee on Appropriations was in session all day Saturday upon the Legislative Appropriation bill, and this measure will probably be ready for consideration in the Senate as soon | as the Post Office bill i&' disposed of. Ix Jhe British House of Commons on Mondav. Mr. Gladstone oaid a hi<rh tribute to the devotion of General ' Gordon, saying that his one object in llfii was to do good to all, irrespective of raee, color or creed. Mr. Gladstone repeated wiiat Mr. Morelv had said regarding Zebehr Pasha. He denied that the Government had auy reason last vftap fin snnnftsp that fJnrdrtn tt-ic is; imminent danger. General Gordon's own dispatches, said Mr. Gladstone, had led the Government to believe that he would retreat with the garrison | southward, if t ossible. The Govern- ! : ment had not wavered or swerved a j hair's breadth from the covenant to j send General Gordon assistance j when necessary and when possible ; to do so.. He referred to statements j of General Gordon's that tinder no j circumstances could relief have been ' tirnelv, as Farag had long ago agreed j to betray Khartoum as soon as the I , British arrived. Mr. Gladstone said j he fully shared in the regret for the i , loss of the gallant officer, General | Gordon, but there was some comfort j ' in believing that no great effusron of i . blood had occurred at Khartoum j England's mission in Soudan was the j safety of Egpyt. The Government I might have committed errors of judg- ! j ment, but throughout it had acted with | , honesty of purpose. He felt satisfied | k that no other course was open then, j He referred to better government and j other reforms established in Egypt, 1 and said there was no longer anv dan-! - 1 gerof a rupture with France, who had cordially assisted in a measure which he hoped in a sew dajs to see formally completed and which would save Egypt , from bankruptcy. ' Tuk New York Times takes a sensible view of placing Southern men iu the Cabiinet and speaks highly of the Southern men who have been named for positions in the new administra! tion. Such talk as the following would do much to end sectionalism: "The Southerners whom Mr. Cleveland is likely to call and who are . looked upon with the crreatest respect, are Southerners only as others are men of the East or of the West. Their prominence is due, not to their residence, but to their ability, experience, i character, and special personal quali' ties. We may be mistaken, but we venture to think that, if they are chosen there will be very few, even among ! the ijaost eager partisans of Mr. Cleveland's rival last fall, to make objection to them on the ground of the section from which they come. Moreover, it must be remembered that the President-elect represent distinctly the idea and purpose of civil service reform. : That was what made him the cancji1 date of his partv and made him Presi- i dent. Whatever may be his course on other matters?on the tariff, on foreign affairs, or on questions of domestic concern?he was elected to apply to the civil service tho principle of fitness tested by open competition, and to root out the vicious idea of partisan favoritism. He will be judged more by his fidelity to this purpose than by any other one thing. He will be more anxiously watched and more severely criticised as to this than as to all else. And it is precisely they whs are believed ; to be most zealous and most capable in this work, because they are thought to be likely to give him the most unwav!. ering support and the most intelligent al/1 f part QaiiI V?rt1?n CllU. 1 XL it) l/iiai LliO 111! UWUUltl M 1 statesmen have received general public i approbation in all sections of the country. The Mason Cotton fcfin. i Daring the session of the National ! Cotton Planters' Association, which was held in New Orleans a few weeks ago, a committee was appointed to examine the Mason cotton ~ftt cylinder, and report the result of their examination to the Convention. Our people are, we suppose familiar with the invention of Mr. Mason, and are looking forward to its practical use; whether it will be a success or nr?f- nnrl if will ho used. From the time our farmers begin ginning their cotton in the fail until they have finished, nearly every week we hearof some unfortunate who has let his hand go too close to the saw?, and as a consequence loose several fingers or perhaps a whole hand. If At.* 1 _ J . _ / _ .*? tms cylinder gin is a succcss, ("iiau seems certain that it will be), it will be quite a benefit in this direction. The Xew Orleans Times-Democrat, of the 19th inst., publishes the following extract from the report of this committee: The committee appointed by the National Cotton Planters's Convention to examine and report upon the merits of the Mason cotton gin cylinder as an improved process for ginning' cotton superior in every way to the process of ginning by saws and ribs, made a ; thorough examination of the machines ; yesterday and will make their reports "to General Morehe&d, the president of the Convention, and will publish it in the April number of the Cotton Planters' journal. The substance of the committee's opinion is that the new process is destined very quickly to supersede the use ot saws and ribs in gins entirely. That its capacity is considerably greater; that it produces finer samples; that it is free from danger to the operator and from the cheapness of its construction is calculated to work a revolution in the preparation of cotton. Mr. M. D. Russell, of Jonestown, Miss., is the chairman of the committee. Already the leading manufacturers have taken steps for securing cylinders and after testing them, if they find them to work satisfactory, they will make arran^emen ts with the comDanv for using them in their gins. This cylinder can be substituted for the saws and ribs in any gin, and the prospect? at present are that they will be used bv all manufacturers in a few years. Time to Apply Manure to Corn.

Mr. Roosevelt and his most trusted cowboy started ou a hunt one morning for a grizzly, whose enormous tracks had been discovered not far from the ranch cabin. They struck tiic trail yf the beast, and as it grew hotter and hotter, so the cx-Assemblyman grew interested and even excited. The cowboy was in advance and had halted for a moment to call Mi*. Roosevelt's attention to a remarkable freak of nature I that was exhibited by the piling together of a large n ass of boulders in a most striking form. As they were s-urveying the curious mass the cowboy heard an ominous srrowl. 'J he ex Assemblyman heard it, too, and firmly j adjusting his near-sighted pebbles on | the bridge of his nose, ho brought his i rilie t( present h'arms'' and looked | around him.

I k Marvelous Story TOLD in TWO LETTERS. FROM THE SON: " Gentlemen: My father resides at Glover, Tt He has been a great sufferer from Scrofula, and the inclosed letter will tell yoawhat a marvelous effect Iyer's Sarsaparffla has had is his case. I think his blood must ; have contained the humor for at least ten , years; but it did not shew, except in the form I of a scrofulous sore on the wrist, until about five years ago. From a few spots which appeared at that time, it gradually spread so as to cover his entire body. I assure you he wa3 terribly afflicted, and an object of pity, when J he began using your medicine. Now, there are | few men of his age who enjoy as good health as he has. I could easily name fifty persons who would testify to the facts in his case. , Yours truly, W. 3L PHILLIPS." I CDfl'M TUr EATUED. " It is both a mum I ill* I rtlllUl. pleasure and I a dnty for me to state to you the benefit I have derived from the use of . > . ! Ajer's Sarsaparilla. I Six months ago I was completely covered with ! a terrible humor and scrofulous sores. The I humor caused an incessant and intolerable i itching, and the skin cracked so as to causa the blood to flow in many places whenever I moved. Mv sufferings were great, and my ! life a 'burden. I commenced the use of the Sabsapabilla in April last, and have used it regularly since that time. My condition began to improve at once. The sores have j all healed, and I feel perfectly well in every respect?being now able to do a good day's work, although 73 years of age. Many inquire what has wrought such, a cure in my case, and I tell them, as I have here tried to tell you, Ayeb's Sabsapabilla. Glover, Yt., Oct. 21,1882. Yours gratefully, tttrav Phillips."
