r ' ||cpathncnt. HOW ftE WAS CAUGHT. It is not often that a dealer in horses gets caught, says the Kingston Freeman, but a case in point shows how a Rounclout dealer was brought up with around turn. A man named Goodwin, of Palenville, came to this city to purchase a horse. Entering a mart in Abel Street, the following conversation took place: "I want to buy a horse." "Good. I have just the kind of animal that will suityou." "Trot him out." The horse was "trotted" out, and the man from Palenville instantly recognized the beast. He had purchased it in Montreal, Canada, fourteen years ago. At that time the age of the horse was given as six years. He had owned it twelve years, and then sold it to a man who owned it two years, thus making its age twenty years. While in Mr. Goodwin's possession theanimal had acquired the habit of chewing to tobacco. "There," said the dealer, "he's a daisy." "How old is he ?" inquired Goodwin. "Seven years. He is as sound as a Spanish gold dollar, and can turn a mile in less, than three minutes." "Are you sure the horse is only seven years old ?" "Certain sure. I know the man that \ raised him." "Give me a chew of tobacco, will you ?" said Goodwin. Receiving it, he handed the tobacco to the dealer with the remark: ''Just see if that horse will chew." To the surprise of the horseman, the animal chewed the quid with evident pleasure and whinnied for more. F I'Doyou know this horse ?" he asked. uWell, I ought to," replied Goodwin," "beln? ** * owned him twelve years. He waaSik years old when I bought him, and another man had him for two years." Come out and take a drink," said the dealer. "That is the worst I ever was sold . in my life?" Rebuked.?"All in fayah ob de motion as hit am put will signify hit by saying Aye'i" saia me pompous uuturujuu ui a meeting of colored people, and a loud sbout of "Aye!" was the response. "All agin dq motion say 'No!'" "Nol" came more faintly, but from persons in all parts of the room. ' "Hit am carried unanimously," the ehairman said, sagely. This declaration was repeated several times when there had been numerous dissentients. At last, an elderly darky rose in a corner of the room, and in a stentorian voice addressed the chair: "Mistah Cheerman." "Mista Jackson," said the chairman, recognizing the speaker. "I rise, sah," said Mr. Jackson, ponderously, "to a pint of order. I jes' wanted to ask how come it dat you say de questions hab been voted unanimously, when dey has been voted only by a majority, sah?" The chairman rose with great dignity, and said, in a tone of keen rebuke, "Will Mistah Jackson please to b'ar in mind dat 'majority' ana 'unanimously' are one an' de same terms, sah ? Yes, sah ; dey are anonymous an' de same, sah. De p'nt ob order am not well taken, sah." J?- Wife (ll.su f. m.;? wnai'8 inai norridodor? Smells like alcohol. Husband? Y-e-s, my dear; we use alcohol at the lodge for initiations. Take some alcohol, light it, pat salt in the flame, and it gives a ghastly yellow light; makes folks look like ghosts, you know. "But the odor comes from your breath." "Y-e-s, m' dear; in the thirty-seventh degree I personate the chief demon, with flames coming from his mouth. I take a mouthful of alcohol and a swallow of salt, and then set fire to it. But; m' dear, you rausn't tell tfiese things. Secret s'ciety secrets very sacred, you know."?[Philadelphia Record. A fellow was on trial before a police magistrate for stealing chickens.

HOUSEHOLD HINTS. Kitchen tloors painted with boiled linseed oil are easily cleaned. , When broiling steak throw a little salt on the coals and the blaze from dripping fat will not annoy. Black cotton gloves or stockings will not crack if scalded in salt and water before wearing them. A little vinegar mixed with stove polish will prevent the dust from flying, and will make the stove brighter. Flour of sulphur has proved to be an efficient preventitive against the ravages of carpet bugs or buffalo moths. Carbolic acid may be used with satisfactory results during Summer months to destroy ants, and as a disinfectant. A cloth saturated in kerosene and dipped into whiting, for cleaning tinware, is much better than anything else used. To remove iron rust, apply lemon juice, place in the sun, covered with glass, till of a lemon color, then let it stand in boiling water till cold. When the nose threatens to bleed excessively, it can sometimes bearrested by putting the feet into hot water, or by applying a mustard plaster between the shoulders. When watering potted plants in winter do not pour the water in the crown of the plants, but simply moisten the earth in the pots. Too much moisture will do more injury than benefit. To raise the pile of plush or velvet, dampen on the wrong side with clean, cold water, then hold tight across the face of a hot iron and rub up the crushed spot with a stiff, clean brush. To apply a mustard plaster so as not to blister the skin, mix the mustard with the white of an egg instead of water. The plaster will draw thoroughly without blistering the most delicate skin. Trifling With Safety Valves.?It is almost incredible that a man in his senses should walk up to a boiler which is discharging steam through its safety valve, and deliberately close that avenue through which the surplus steam might escape to prevent dangerous over-pressure. And yet this thing is done with a frequency which is alarming. Only a few days since we learned from an inspector that he had found a battery of boilers, every safety valve upon which was wedged down by a pine plug, "to keep them from leaking;" and now comes the particulars of an explosion in this State, reciting that one Arthur Leavitt, annoyed because the escaping steam from the safety valve of his boiler made his horses restless, fastened the valve down with a heavy weight. The natural consequence ensued, and, al-i *_ t/i ? ^.,4. 4.^ tnougn swiu reiriuuuuu w?? luoicu uun tv the offender, he carried into eternity another innocent man, while as a result of his criminal act two men are suffering serious injuries, a pair of valuable horses and a large factory are destroyed and a prosperous business seriously interrupted. The man who will deliberately tamper with the safety valve of a steam boiler is a first-class rascal. If the consequences of his act reverted upon himself alone he might be forgiven, but there is no knowing how wide-spread and disastrous may be the results of his folly, and he should be placed in the same category as the man who would put a fuse to a powder magazine or lay the train to incite a conflagration.?[Power and Steam. Common Errors.?The man who limits himself to two meals a day, or only a "bite" at noon, soon becomes dyspeptic, says a writer in the Boston Journal of Health. Every twenty-four hours he needs just so much food to supply the wants of his system. If he practices long abstinence, then, when he next eats, to supply the requisite material, he craves and takes more into his stomach than he can properly digest. Again, vigor is required for digestion, and if he is jaded and worn out by work and long fasting, his digestive power is not equal to the duty imposed upon it. As all know, derange the stomach and the heart and brain share in the disorder. The victim becomes nervous and irritable, work which was formerly easy to, and a pleasure for him, has now become a task. It is at this point that many men begin the use of stimulants. Prejudices against *hera are easily satisfied if one, feels that he needs them. For a time alcohol or malt liquors seemingly act well. They "pull him together;" he is more cheerful, and* he doubtless feels certain that he has found his much-needed remedy. He is simply "poking the fire from the top," and soon it burns lower, finally threatens to go out, and our man is broken down with nervous prostration, caused by overwork, as he and his friends think ; but, in reality, by his own stupid, sinful and ruinous manner of living. To Choose an Orange.?The very sweetest orange and richest is the black or rusty-coated fruit. Pick out the dingiest oranges in the box, and you will get the best. Another way to choose oranges is by weight. The heaviest are the best, because, they have the thinnest skin and more weight of juice. They either weigh less because of having so much skin, or because of the poverty of the juice in these peculiar specimens. A slight freezing on the tree causes this condition in otherwise fine fruit. The "kid glove" oranges are the two varieties of small fruit grown in Florida from stocks respectively brought from China and from Tangiers. They are called "Mandarian" and "Tangerine." They may be eaten without soiling a kid glove, because the skin is loose, and the little "gores" or pockets of juice come apart very cleanly and without breaking. All the above^applies to Florida oranges. The Jamaica knd Havana oranges are much paler yellow, and their juice is usually of more acid quality. A New Use For Lemons?"If you ever use lemons," remarked our housewife to a lady friend, and have a portion of one left over, be sure you do not throw it away. I am never without them in the house, as I always use them for flavoring; but of what use are the pieces?" "Just this. The next time you think you are done with a lemon just dip it in salt and rub your copper kettle or stewpan with it. You will be surprised to find what a brilliant surface you will obtain if you rub the article instantly with a dry, soft cloth. You can polish all brass work by the same means; every stpin disappears as if by magic. A inouiJy lemon put into a dirty saucepan half full of water and boiled for half an hour cleanses the utensil amazingly and removes any odor, such as fish or onions. Try it and see if I am not right." Sleepless Draughts.?An English doctor, writing about sleep and sleeplessness, observed that the state narcotics produce is not sleep, but a condition of narcotism that counterfeits sleep, adding, "When a man says, 4I want a quiet night, I will take a sleeping draught,' he speaks in parables. To express the fact plainly, he should say, 'I want a quiet night; I cannot obtain it by going to sleep, or I am afraid to trust to the chances of natural rest, so I will poison myself a little, just enough to make me unconscious, or to slightly paralyze ray nerve centres, not enough to kill.' If this fact could be kept before the mind, the reckless use of drugs which produces a state that mocks sleep would be limited." The state of inaction which is brought about by natural sleep is very different from that which is produced by paralysis of any degree. Fever and Ague.?There are some situations where fever and ague prevails every season, and this is the case in the vicinity of creeks and swamps. An acquaintance of ours, who has resided for several years on one of these creeks, neyer has had a single case of fever and ague in his family, while all his neighbors have heen more or less affected with it every season. He attributes his immunity from this troublesome disease to the use of a good fire in his house every chilly and damp night in summer and fall. When the Indians travel at night or early in the morning in swampy regions, they cover their nose and mouth with some part of their garments to warm the air which they inhale, and this they say prevents chills and fevers.?[Scientific American. Pure Air.?Do not be afraid to go out of doors because it is a little colder than usual. The cold air will not hurt you, if you are properly protected and take exercise enough to keep the circulation active. On the contrary, it will purify your blood, strengthen 'your lungs, improve your digestion, afford a healthy, natural stimulus to your torpid circulation, and strengthen and energize your whole system.

THE SMALLS-ELLIOTT CONTEST. A SOTAIILE AS I) EFFECTIVE SPEECH JtY COSGJt ESS MAS HEMPHILL. m His Defense of the Election Law of Sontli Carolina and His able Argument in Behalf of His Colleague Command Applause on the Floors and in the Galleries?Elliott Seated. Last Wednesday was the day appointed for closing the contested election case of Smalls vs. Elliott from South Carolina, the juestion having been discussed in the House on several days previously. After the adjournment on Wednesday of the joint session for counting the electoral votes for President and Vice President, the case was resumed, and the afternoon was spent on it. The great speech of the occasion was made by Congressman Hemphill. It was nearly 3 o'clock when he was recognized by Acting Speaker McCreary, *nd commenced his speech. He had but thirty minutes allowed hirrt, but so interesting were his remarks that twice the House extended his time. The Associated Press gives the following report of the debate: Mr. Hemphill said he had never seen the Republicans so delighted as when they had the privilege of abusing a great section of country. As to the registration law of South Carolina, he desired to say that it had be^D put in the statute books by Republics and was a fiaitf and just law. In one drstrict where 32,000 colored men were claimed by the Republican party, only twenty-two were refused registration, and not one of them appealed from the decision of the registrar. All this gabble and talk about,ue unfair registry law of South Carolinaiwas 'the merest twaddle, and was intended to effect results different from those involved in the case. He denied that the election laws of South Carolina were intended (as had been asserted) to cheat Republicans out of their rights. He did not say that they were framed for the purpose of putting Republicans into power. The people of South Carolina believed that the white man was as good as the negro. They believed that tne negro should have all his rights, but they did not believe that he should have all his rights and the whites' rights, too, and they did not intend that krv okrvnlrl hoTrn fknm f~ A nnlonon "1 lie ouuuiu nave i&ieui? Some gentlemen worked themselves into i great passion in talking about the suppression of votes in the Southern States. The gentlemen from Illinois (Mason and Rowell) had delivered phillipics against :he Southern people, and had declared that ihe people of South Carolina stood convicted before the people of the United States of a great crime in depriving the legroes of their right to vote. The speech made by the gentleman from Illinois 'Rowell) and the great passion he had ivorked himself into, was proof that he lid not have very much faith in the strength of his case. He had resorted to the old plan of abusing the plaintiff when tie had nothing in the shape of facts to present to the jury. Referring to the charge that part of the vote in the South had been suppressed, le said that in 1884 California had cast >8.8 per cent, of her vote, Alabama 59. Connecticut 77.4, and Florida 97 per cent, Maine, the home of the greatest living statesman inthe opinion of many men, cast 59.1 per cent., and Tennessee 78.6 per cent. The Southern States had cast 12.2 per ;ent. more votes in proportion to population than any equal number of States in the North. Down in Florida it took 28,268 men to elect a member to this House, put in Massachusetts, the land in which the breezes of heaven did not begin to :ompare in freedom with the freedom of per inhabitants, it took only 20,440 men to send a Representative to Congress. "How many does it take in South C'aroina?" queried Mr. Milliken, of Maine, imid Republican applause. "I will answer that," responded Mr. Hemphill. "I do not say wecast so many votes in South Carolina, for we have about tome to that happy state, among white ind black alike, that when the people get i good Democrat in they let him stay in ind make no opposition to him." [Api clause and laughter.] ^ "In Rhode Island, continued Mr. Hemplill, it took 6,630 votC3 to elect a Representative from the 1st district, while it :ook 15,630 votes to elect a Representative I'rom the 2nd district. According to Republican logic, there was a suppression of votes somewhere about here. If the people of the South were doing the same thing, ;he gentlemen from Massachusetts and Rhode Island could not say that they were ioing anything better. "If because the people of South Carolina did not choose to :ast their ballots, gentlemen were going to irgue on the census that there had been a suppression of the vote, let them apply this ule to Massachusetts and Rhode Island. "All the people of the South asked was "air treatment. If the colored man was so lear to the people of the North, (and he was not going to express any undue affec;ion for him,) why did not some of the Northern States elect a colored man to Congress and make a living example of lis fitness to make laws for the people of ;he United States? There were a number )f States in the North which would not pave a glimmer of a chance of being carried by Republicans except for the colored ace. The colored people had been fullledged citizens since 1868, and yet in the [Northern States which had a colored vote which could keep the Republican party in pr turn it out, not a single instance had ;here been of a man elected to Congress who had a tinge of color in his blood." "Can you name a Northern State," broke n Mr. Hopkins, of Illinois, "where thecolpred vote is 20 per cent of the entire vote ?" "Oh!" replied Mr. Hemphill, "then it ;omes to this?that unless there are in the iistrict enough negro votes to put in a nan of color, he never gets there." 'Applause and laughter.] "If you want colored men to vote for a white man, and if a colored man is as ?ood as a white ,man, why does not a white man occasionally vote for a colored nan ?" [Laughter.] Mr. Hopkins: "Do you know of a Northern State where a colored man asjires in that direction ? Do you not know :hat white men there take care of the colpred men ?" "Oh !" cried Mr. Hemphill, sarcasticaly, "I know that. I have never known a :olored man in a district in a Northern State who had the assurance or presump:ion to suppose that they would elect him :o office, even if he did aspire to it." [Applause on the Democratic side.] This last remark of Mr. Hemphill iroused the Republicans, and Messrs. Dheadle, Funston, Owen, ltowell and )thers were on their feet plying Mr. Hemphill with questions, which neither] 10 nor anybody else was able to hear on | iccount of the confusion on the Hnflpe. thiff ningling voices and trie "jiersisuTni dfi* nand for the regular order." i Finally Mr. Itowell's voice was heard, declaring that in Illinois colored men had oeen elected to the Legislature. "We elect them to the Legislature of iouth Carolina," responded Mr. Hemphill, 'so commonly that I would not think ibout mentioning it. [Laughter.] We ilect them on the Republican ticket and on the Democratic ticket, and the lirst ;ime that I was in tlie Legislature both my colleagues from mycountyand ourSenator a'ere colored." ' /f,;" Mr. Johnston, of Indiana, suggests that he county should have elected another coljred man at the same time. [Laughter.] "I do not say," contined Mr. Hemphill, 'that a colored man in the North does not occasionally creep into the legislature, but n the South he gets into the legislature ill the time, ana I know that since ISfiS here has not been a legislature in South Carolina that has not contained colored nen, both Democrats and Republicans." Continuing, Mr. Hemphill said he proposed to show, from a Chicago paper, pubichnri in iMHT thiii. tlift colored man had lot as many rights in Chicago as in Mobile md New Orleans. This brought Mr. Adams, of Illinois, to lis feet with a demand for specifications. Mr. Hemphill replied that he would specify, and he quoted from the paperto^ snow that in Chicago a colored boy,- could lot get into a trades union, and could^not earn to be a mason or carpenter. Mr Adams: "Neither can any Ameri:an boy." "If that is so," exclaimed Mr. Hemplill, "Chicago is worse than I thought it vas." [Laughter.] "It is bad enough to reat a poor darkey so, but when you treat jvery man that way it is worse than I bought." [Laughter.] "I agree with you," was Mr. Adams's lomment. Continuing to show the bad treatmentof he negro in the North, Mr. Hemphill said le had seen it stated that in Marion, Illilois, where some colored men had recent1 ]y been employed in a tobacco warehouse, notice had been served on them that if they did not leave town in ten days they would receive summary punishment, and notice had been served on their employer if they were not discharged his factory would be burned down. In Rhode Island, until recently, if a colored man insured his life and died, his relatives could not get more than twoth i rd.s of his i nsurance money. [Laugh ter.l The Legislature after twenty years had suddenly become aroused and had passed laws to prevent insurance companies from swindling colored men out of one-third of their money. At Fort Scott, Kansas, colored children 1 had been turned out of white schools. This declaration aroused Mr. Funston, | of Kansas, who vehemently, amid loud I cries of order, denied the assertion. iUr. tiempnin : i win not yield, it is > | not worth while to get excited." From what do you read ?" shouted Mr. j Funston through the din. "From the New York Nation," replied Mr. Hemphill, while the Republicans indulged in derisive laughter. "In the State of Ohio," continued Mr. Hemphill, "the State of Senator Sherman, they used to have black laws. Recently the' Legislature had repealed these laws. One of those laws had kept colored children out of white schools. On their repeal an attempt had been made to put col- : ored children into white schools, and at Oxford four hundred people had held a meeting to protest against it." This time it was Mr. Williams, of Ohio, who was brought to his feet, and amid the confusion which attended his entry into the debate, he was heard to declare that Oxford was a town with 2,400 Democratic majority. [Laughter.] Mr. Hemphill: "So far as the North is concerned, Democrats and Republicans think the same." Williams: "That portion of Ohio is called 'South Carolina.' " [Laughter.] Mr. Hemphill then read a newspaper report of the meeting to show that it was composed of Republicans as well as Democrats, and that it had accomplished its object in having white and colored children kept separate. Mr. Gallinger, of New Hampshire, here took a hand in the discussion by asking Mr. Hemphill if he did not know that Ohio had elected a negro as a member of me electoral couegt:. Mr. Hemphill replied that he knew that a negro did sometimes slip into an office that had no salary connected with it. [Applause and laughter.] But a colored man could not live on glory any more than a white man. He (Mr. Hemphill) did not know any people more Interested in having a free ballot and fair count and some just solution of the negro problem than the people of the South. There whites and blacks were to live together, "sink or swim, live or die, survive or perish." They must live together. But it did not lie in- the mouths of the people, who had treated this race as the people of the North had treated them, to give the South advice on the question, and particuarly on the question of honesty in elections, until they had done some missionary work among themselves. The debate was continued by Messrs. La Follette of Wisconsin, Lodge of Massachusetts and Itowell of Illinois (Reps.) and Messrs. Tarsney, of Michigan, and Crisp (Dems.) Mr. Crisp, of Georgia, like Mr. Hemphill, was frequently interrupted by questions from the Republicans. Mr. Johnson, of Indiana, was one of those who endeavored to interrupt, but Mr. Crisp waved him off with the remark that the gentleman was imitating the tactics of Smalls in a State where they resorted to blocks of five. Perhaps they had better look at home before they went abroad. This remark brought the Indiana Republicans to their feet in indignant protest, hut Mr. Crisn declined to permit interruD tions, and in the midst of the uproar his time expired. Then a scene of intense tumult and confusion ensued. During the delivery of Mr. Crisp'sspeech the main aisle of the House had become thronged with members of both parties, who kept up an incessant demand for the regular order, while Mr. Crisp attempted to have his time extended, while the Indiana Republicans continued their vociferous but altogether unintelligible demands for an opportunity to reply. The Speaker pro tern., Mr. McCreary, attempted vainly to quell the tumult, which was gradually assUming thC'fSTtypwu,,, tions of a riot, and he was finally obliged to call upon the sergeant-at-arms to assist him in preserving the peace. That official, armed with the silver mace of authority, proceeded up the main aisle, scattering members on all sides, but even with his assistance it was many minutes before the presiding officer could bring the body to a state of compariaive quiet. The vote was then taken on the minority resolution declaring Smalls entitled to the seat, and it was rejected?yeas 126, nays 143?a strict party vote, with the exception of Mr. Wilson, of Minnesota, and Mr. Russell, of Massachusetts, who voted with the Republicans. The majority resolution seating Elliott was then agreed to without a division, and the House at 6 o'clock adjourned. The Washington correspondent of the News and Courier, reporting the debate, makes the following comments on Mr. Hemphill's effort: Mr. Hemphill's remarks were devoid of partisanship or personal prej udice, but he so fully exposed the hypocrisy of the Republican party in dealing with the colored race, that the hall rang with applause repeatedly as he poured the cold and undisputed faffets into the unwilling ears of his Republican friends. The galleries were crowded and there was a full attendance of members in their seats. They swung their chairs around and gave strict attention to the young South Carolinian. His principal argument was to show that the election laws of South Carolina are framed to give the white people the same right that the Northern people claim for the colored man. He was heartily applauded on the floor and in the galleries wjhen he declared in a ringing voice that the white people of South Carolina were willing that the colored people should have their rights, "but the white people there do not intend that they shall have their own and ours, too." He made a strong point on the question of the suppression of votes in the South, and showed from statistics that the practice of suppressing votes is carried on to a greater extent in certain Northern States than occurs in the same number of Southern States. The most entertaining part of his debate occurred when he commenced to recite specific incidents occurring in Kansas, Ohio, Illinois, Rhode Island and Massachusetts, to show how the colored people in those States are treated by their alleged Republican friends. As each incident was related, the Republican members representing the locality referred to, would spring up and, amid shouts of applause, alttHnptrtrrnxpIain awaytbHrgcg-'th mats'?1 his people. * In many instances Mr. Hemphill's retorts were pointed and masterly, and on every hand he was congratulated for the admirable manner in which he preserved his temper and that of the House during one of the most exciting debates of the present Congress. Gen. Spinola, of New York, characterized Mr. Hemphill's speech as "a shower of bricks into the Republican camp. Every fellow was struck before he saw where the blow was coming from."

Company, Atlanta, Ga.?Gentlemen : I hail suffered from that terrible disease, dyspepsia, for over fifteen years, and during that time tried everything I could hear of, and spent over three hundred dollars in doctors' bills, without receiving the slightest benefit. Indeed, I continued to grow worse. Finally, after I despaired of obtaining relief, a friend recommended B. B. B. (Botanic Blood Balm), and I began using it; not, however, expecting to be benefitted. After using half a bottle I was satisfied that I was being benefitted, and when the sixth, bottle was taken I felt like a new man. I would not take 31,000 for the good it has done me; in fact, the relief I derived from it is priceless. I firmly believe that I would have died had I not taken it. Respectfully, etc., Thomas Paulk.

It renders possible the inauguration of new enterprises and the better development of the hidden wealth of our county, in the accomplishing ot which THE ENQUlitER, as in the past, will ever be a ready and cheerful instrument. OUR PREMIUM PLAN. Recognizing the fact that it is frequently the case that the premiums we have heretofore offered for the largest clubs are not suited to the wants of those to whom they are awarded, we have decided to offer only CASH PREMIUMS for the five largest clubs as follows: For the largest club for one year, $35; for the second largest clubs, $25; for ^he third largest club, $15; for the fourth largest club, $10; and for the fifth lareest club, $5.
