We-must keep the South -solidly - Democratic as a means of self ; "preservation. The-verdict of the jury which tried "? the-murder case , in our last Court, in ^hicbMack Bird, a colored youth, was . charged with killing a young white man ;-named DoctorBickens Rice, near Sandy Springs, k worthy of more than a pass-, ilng notice, for it shows the manner in ;:which jifstice is administered in our "Courts. There was an abundance of -. evidence to; prove malice, and the weapon ' with which the fatal blow was stricken was. a large stick some four inches in ,-diameter,. The proof was strong, and ^??Daplete that he was the aggressor, and Cyet< - & jury, composed of white men en ?'tirely, returned a verdict of guilty of ; manslaughter, and- the Judge imposed a .BeBtenw^ of-ten years imprisonment. It 'p%qtild-;perhiaps'-have been nothing more ..than a strict application of the law to . the evidence to have found him guilty ;^^mufder j and. yet the jury, in compas ? sion for his youth and the . surrounding ^circumstances, rendered a verdict of yinanslaughter.- - This case gives a .con l:tradIctio? to the stories of race prejudice in our Courts. Our juries and our ^^gris- can rise above " the, prejudices of .? face and do justice, tempered with mercy, . to the humblest. ? The Apolitical situation in Washington-1 .is not satisfactory to either of the politi jitsal^ppjties, and but" for the recent blun? ders of the Republican leaders would ?b&V%" been- decidedly bad for the Demo ^ra^:yThe Pfesident is not in accord" V with; ^e majority of his party in Con* 5"grW;?a anumber of public questions? -v^tajily- the silver coinage matter and 1 ithfr'.civil ^service reform. There were ?;ingns of Ja^n?re orless determined break .?^Icomr.the^- -administration by leading ^p^baicrats, but at the critical moment 4'the"Rjbpublicans in the Senate, under the i leadeMhlp, of MrJEdmunds, attacked the :.Pr^ideht -;on account, of the removals {v&bra office which he had made, and for *;&e^ ^^a^lldlfied?ad'ther determination to >;.??nri by the President. The course, pnr '.vBO^'^y^ne.Preside&tnpdn the matterof >4p^intmeots, however, is full of danger ^t?t the-party, in our judgment. He has rpeen;;M office just one year, and yet the ^fiect of his civil-saryice policy has been ;;?v- ?' antagonize the. leaders of his own :;^party and not to satisfy the Republicans. ?JThe President should turn the .rascals '?oat,i and go to the country with his own ^party "united, whether" the Republicans <5are happy or not,. . TJie^defeat- of the Blair Education ^JBili in the House of Representatives .will,,in our judgment, be a political u)blrinder for the Democrats. The Sen? ate; by a vote of thirty-three to eleven, .has passed the measure, which has for ..its object the education of. the poor man's ^children all over, the United States. The ; defeat; of this bill by the Democratic "i Hotise of Representatives would give the ?faS8epubJ?can3 an issue which, would be dangerous for us in New York, Indiana, v ;and. perhaps Connecticut and New Jer Sjsey.; There are a great many persons in > the South who do not like the-features of the bill touching negro education, :and we confess that the bill as amended in the Senate is not as acceptable as the bill passed last year, but at the same time the passage of the measure as it -now stands will add greatly to the effi? ciency of the public schools all over the country, and give to the several States decided material advantages from the ^expendii?re all over the country of a Jarge amount of money from the United ?'States treasury. Thi3 feature.of the bill !-%Hi give it great strength, in every part of the Union. For the Democratic party ;tO;?rray itself against this measure is deliberately to yield a decided advantage to the Republicans in the coming contest. The recent appointment of a 'colored man named Matthews, from New York, h as Register of Deeds for the District of Columbia, in the place of Fred Douglass, 'hascreated considerable discussion, and the general tone of it is adverse to the .'appoiDtment. The Washington correa \ pondent of the Augusta Chronicle sayB of the appoiutment: . The people of the District, white and bjack, preferred a resident of Washing " ton. Some of them desired a white man. Others were indifferent as to complexion. There was and is, however, a practically unanimous hostility to a carpet bagger. Of course, the race question enters into the controversy. It will not down, es? pecially when mixed schools are agitated ."' here'and when the President, a Puritan free soiler, hub ncib? socially with Fred Douglas aud appoints as his successor in ; office a so called colored Democrat, who incarnates what is considered an odious aud dangerous principle. Certainly Mr. --Cleveland did not expect to please any? body at the South by this selection. The white Democrat* will not sanction or applaud r. Colored men there have uo special interest t< -subserve. Men who are in r.ffice uuder the Administration say, with bated breatb, that these things are Hard to bear, but we must endure them siif.miy and. uphold the President. But penpie do i keep dumb under such . circuniitatices, and, if they did, the deed would speak for. itself, as the poor Irishman's rugs" were eloquent for him. I asked a staunch Democratic friend his opinion, and he condensed it thus: '?This c ountry is composed politically of two great parties. One is the party of : Piand'jrers ai d the other is the party of BUiuderora.. h she Plunderers return to power it.will largely be because the Bluu'dercrrs -helped them to accomplish their purpose." ?

Mr. Editor: The President's mes? sage to the Senate concerning the contro? versy between himself and 'that body, fell like a bombshell into-bhat quiet and dignified body. The Democrats chuckled over it and vengeance flashed fr.m the eyes of the Republicans. Senator Ed? munds was iht* fir-t to condemn it/in open session, and after comparing the President to the arrogant Charles the First uf England in presuming, as he expressed it, to dictate to the Senate, the message was on motion of the Senator, referred to the Judiciary Committee. This committee, with Senator Edmunds as its chairman, has lately fallen into tbe habit of pigeon-holing all matters not meeting with the entire approval of the Republican majority, but that course, as pursued with objectionable nominations, will of course not be f Mowed in the message. In anticipation of the message being discussed in open session on Tues? day, the galleries and corridors were crowded to overflowing, and many people turned away because there was not even standing room. A number of members of the lower House even found it con? venient on that day to step across the rotunda to tbe Senate wing on public business, but to the disappointment of all, no report was made and consequently there was no discussion. The excitement even now is high and everybody is on the alert to learn when the message will be referred back by the committee to tbe Senate, and the volumes of Senatorial eloquence and invective roll forth. The House devoted tbe whole of last week, with' the exception of Monday, to the consideration of the general invalid pension bill. The members availed themselves of the opportunity to deliver political speeches for use iu the next State campaigns. They all. declared themselves as not opposed to the bill, and devoted the most part of every speech to irrelevant matter?matter good however for campaign purposes. An unusually large number of members joined in the debate, and at times a majority of the members were on their feet, and as each speaker warmed up to his subject and made, pungent criticisms of the opposite party and was met with bristling repartee from the attacked, he was surrounded by fellow members who applauded until the spectators in the galleries joined in, and the wild enthusiasm drowned the voices of the members and raps of the speaker's gavel to order. Such an animated debate to continue day after day for a week has not occurred in many years. When a vote was reached the bill passed by an overwhelming majority. On Monday, under a suspension of tbe rules, the Mexican Pension Bill was dis? cussed but no vote reached. It is believ? ed that the bill will not pass this session because it comes up in such a bad form that the southern members cannot vote for it. The Senate has been engaged all the week in the discussion of the Educational Bill,:rind when a vote was reached on Friday' night, the bill was passed by a surprisingly large and unexpected major? ity, the vote being 86 to 11. The friends of the bill were afraid tbat.it would be defeated because of the numerous amend? ments made to it. They now feel confi? dent of its p?s3age by the House. The whole Democratic populace of the National Capital is up in arms against the appointment of the colored lawyer, James C. Mathews, of Albany, N. Y., as Recorder of Deeds for the District. of Columbia. This office, which yields the occupant about $6,000 a year in tbe way of fees, was put down as a sweet plum for some local Democrat. Local men for local, offices has been tbe motto of the Democrats ever since tbe meeting of the Democratic National Convention, and a plank to that effect was put in the National platform. The Democrats have consequently felt confident of getting tbe few District offices within the gift of the President, and although impatient at the delay felt that ultimately their patience would be rewarded. The nomination therefore on Thursday was a great surprise and caused great indignation; but the President doubtless had the good of bis party in mind, rather than the gratification of a few, and so appointed a colored man to succeed a colored man. Fred Douglass steps out and lawyer Matthews in, and the snug little $6,000 goes to a non-resi? dent. Col. Lamont, in an interview had with him, has stated that all the other offices here will be given to local men. So,'applicants, take due notice and make ?o applications, as "no vacancies exist." Washington's Charity Ball is always a notable event in society circles. A great deal of money is realized out of it every year for the Children's Hospital, and all for "sweet charity's sake." This last waB no less brilliant and successful than previous ones. President Cleveland attended it, and enjoyed himself beyond expression. He felt that be was free from all office-seeking bores for a time, and could sit in the presence of a few personal friends in the gallery especially set apart fur him and quietly look upon a scene of animated beauty such as he never looked upon before in Washington. This was the first time that the President has appeared at an evening party since tfie Inaugural Ball. Civil Service Examination. Washington, March 6.?The Civil Service Commissioner gives notice that it will bold an examination for bookkeep? ers, stenographers and type writers at Norfork, Virginia, on Friday the 19th day of March ; at Charleston, South Carolina, Monday, the 22d of March; and at Savannah, Georgia, Thursday, the 25th of March. The examination will be held at 10 a. m., at the postoffice in each of these places, Persons wishing to attend either of these examinations should at once request the commission to send them application blanks. The blanks must- be filled in due form and presented at the time and place of exam? ination, as no person not presenting such applications can be examined. Safe Blowers at Work. Spartanburg, S. ft, March 5.?Last night sometime after midnight the store of Mr. J. K. Stucky was broken into, his safe blown open with a dynamite car? tridge and one hundred and twenty-five dollars taken from it. The store of Reid & Liles was also broken into and the attempt, made to force an entrance into his safe, but it wa3 either found too secure or the burglars were friglnened off, for they did not open it. Had they done so they would have secured about $1,200. There is no clue as to who were the robbers. ? The collections from internal reve? nue during the first seven mouths of the fiscal vear euding June 30,1886, amount to$G6',S7S,117, which is $1,535,157 more than the collections during the corrcs ponding period of last year. There was an increase of $131,579 on spirits, an increase of $974,406 on tobacco and an increase of $496,944 on fermented liquors. FARMERS TO THE FRONT. Call For an Agricultural Convention at Columbia. To (he Farmers of South Carolina : Sev? enty six per cent, of our State's popula? tion art' actively engaged in agricultural pursuits. At least one half of the re? mainder are directly dependent upon the farmers for the means i?f a livelihood. We may justly claim, then, that we constitute the State, yet we do not govern it, uor are tbe laws administered in our interests, and few are passed for our benefit We pay taxes and vote and there is no further use for us. These taxes do not grow any less, .while our ability to pay them grows smaller year by year, and nothing wurth naming has been done to foster and encourage that interest which feeds aud suslaius all others. The ne? groes used to be the "mudsills" of our economic fabric ; but thousands of white men?land owniug farmers?find them? selves slowly but surely sinking beneath the waves to be added to the foundation upon which a few men and corporations are erecting their fortunes. Impending bankruptcy stares thousands in the face, while other thousands are overseeing their own plantations for their victuals and clothes. An iusane system of farming largely prevails aud our lands are growing poorer year by year. Large areas of South Carolina are being made a desert to feed negroes, while the land owners, giving no thought to the future of them, selves and children, stand idly by, or assist and direct this skimming of a State, which, by reason of soil, climate and geographical position, might be made a veritable Garden of Eden. The negroes will "go West" when the bones are picked. What will we do? We are "farming towards despair" in thus con? tinuing to impoverish our lands by igno? rant culture, but nothing is done by our Legislature, or its creatures, to stop it, or to try to teach the people a better and wiser system. Forty thousand dollars are spent annually in the State, three fourths of it paid by farmers, to educate men for other professions and pursuits; the farmers get nothing, and are left to grope their way towards the grave in ignorance and its consequent poverty. Even the pittance donated to educate farmers by the United States Govern? ment is taken from us and appropiated to sustain the institution at which our future masters are being trained. How thankful we should be to the good Lord for such generosity and wisdom among our statesmen, so-called! Again, we pay $25,000 annually by specific tax, which comes out of the farmer alone, to sustain a department of agriculture. A good slice of this is spent to collect the phosphate royally, which goes to support the State Govern? ment, and the rest is frittered and wasted, so far as we can see, the only benefit received by tbe farmers being a partial protection against fraudulent fertilizers. A majority of the board of agriculture are not engaged in farming. Who won? ders, then, that so little has been done by it to benefit our farming interests ? Four bad crops out of five and tbe consequent poverty of the farmers cry aloud for economy and reduction of taxes. But this, cry, which came from every County, was ignored by the last Legisla? ture, which also persistently refused to obey a plain mandate of the Constitution to provile for a reapportionment of representatives by holding a census. It is small wonder, then, that nothing was done to protect farmers against robbery by dishonest fertilizer manufacturers. The Legislature which recently ad? journed, though not corrupt, has been very negligent of the public welfare. The thoughtful and intelligent farmers of the State cannot.afford to elect anoth? er such body of law-makers and Consti? tution breakers. Nor can they afford to allow the agricultural interests of the State to be subordinated to everything else, and no effort made to foster and protect them. Other States with les3 expenditure than we are making, are doing ten times as much to encourage and assist those engaged in farming. But the money speut is not entrusted to politicians or to those elected by politi? cians. Tbe farmers manage and control it themselves. Believing,.therefore, that the crisis de? mands prompt and united action on the part of the true and loyal farmers of the State, and that a convention of such can only redound to tbe benefit of .agricul? ture and consequently 'of every other interest and calling, we call such a con? vention to meet in the city of Columbia, Thursday, the 29th of next April, to take into consideration the question touched upon in this address, together with such other matters as they may deem of im? portance to the political, social, educa? tional or industrial interests of the far? mers and of the State. Each County agricultural society is re? quested to send five delegates. Each local or township agricultural club is requested to send one delegate. The farmers of each Coutity are re? quested to send five delegates over and above those from organized societies, and to effect this it is suggested that those in sympathy with the movement call a mass meeting or County convention of farmers in their respective Counties to appoint said delegates. If the wisest and best of our farmers thus assemble we feel and believe there is enough of both patriotism and states? manship among us to find remedies for those evils; and, without trenching upon the rights of others, manhood enough to demand and obtain a proper recognition of our rights and needs. While this is essentially a farmers' movement we invite the sympathy and moral support of good men ol every calliug. Agriculture is the basis of our economic structure and supports the rest. It cannot rise without carrying with it the superstructure. There is among the politicians in South Carolina att up country and low country. Tnere is no such lino of division among the farmers. Our interests are one. Let us come together from tbe mountains to the sea, aud, exercising the God-given right tbat the majority she uld govern, organize as farmers and obliterate this line forever.

The Blair Hill in the Senate. The Blair Educational Bili passed the Semite on Friday by a vote of 36 to 11. From this it will be seen that there was an unusually large number of pairs on this bill. The recorded vote in the Sen? ate was as follows: Yeas?Seuators Berry, Blackburn, Blair, Bowen, Call, Colquitt, Conger, Cullum, Dolph, Eustis, Evarts, George, Gibson, Hoar, Jackson, Jones of Arkan? sas, Kenna, Logan, IJahone, Manderson, Miller of New York, Mitchell of Oregon, Morrill, Palmer, Payne, Pugh, Ransom, Vance, Van Wyck, Voorliees, Wallhall and Wilson of Iowa. Nays?Senators Cockrell. Coke, Frye, Gray," Bale, Harris, Ingalls, Jones of Nevada, Maxey, Plumb and Wilson of Maryland. Senator Hampton favored, and Senator Butler opposed the Bill. The following is a summary of its provisions as passed : For eight years after its passage there shall be annually appropriated from the treasury the following sums in aid of common school education in the States and Territories, and the District of Co? lumbia and Alaska: First year $7,000, 000, second year : 10,000,000, third year ?15,000,000, fourth year $13,000,000, fifth year $11,000,000, sixth year $9,000, 000, seventh year $7,000,000, and eighth year $5,000,000, making $77,000,000, besides which there is a special appropri? ation of $2,000,000 to aid in the erectiou of school houses in sparsely settled dis? tricts, making the total fuud $79,000,000. The money is given to the several States and Territories "in that proportion which the whole number of persons in each who, being of the age of 10 years and over, cannot write, bears to the whole number of such persons in the United States," according to the census of 1880, until the census figures of 1S90 shall be obtained, and then according to the latter figure. In States having separate schools for white and colored children the mon? ey shall be paid out for support of such white and colored schools respectively in proportion that white and colored chil? dren between 10 and 21 years old in such Stale bear to each other by the census. No State is to receive the benefit of the Act until its Governor shall file with the secretary of the interior a statement giv? ing full statistics of the school system, attendance of white and colored children, amount of money expended, &e., the number of schools in operation, number and compensation of teachers, &c. No State or Territory shall ftceive in auy year from this fund more money than it has paid out the previous year from its own revenues for common schools. If any State or Territory declines to take its share of the national fund, such share is to be distributed among the States accepting the benefits of the fund. If any State or Territory misapplies the fund or fails to comply with the condi? tions, it loses all subsequent apportion? ments. Samples of all school books in use in tbe common schools of the States and Territories shall be filed with the secretary of the interior. Any State or Territory accepting the provisions of the Act at the first session of its Legislature after the passage of the Act shall receive its pro rata share of all previous annual appropriations. Con? gress reserves the right to alter or repeal the Act. The bill now goes to the House of Representatives for concurrence. Blue Outlook for the Blair Bill. The correspondent of the Richmond State, which is a fast friend of the Blair bill, writes from Washington : The friends of the educational propo? sition have gained only the first point, and the hardest of the fight is yet to come. The bill passed the Senate last year, and but for the Allison and other kindred amendments there would not have been the slightest danger of its de? feat in the Senate this session. But the real tug will be in the House of Repre? sentatives. Within a few days after Speaker Carlisle announced the commit? tees, I sent The State information obtained directly from members of the educational committee to show that there was very little hope for the bill from such a com? mittee. I had conversations with nearly every member of that committee. Since then there has been a slight change in sentiment, owing largely to the individu? al efforts of fiir. Willis, of Kentucky, who is laboring zealously for the educa? tion bill. But a vote taken in committee last week, even with the change that has come over some members, stood seven to five againBt making a report of any kind to the House, and Mr. Aiken, the chair? man, who is violently opposed to the bill, was absent owing to bad health. From the best information obtainable it can be stated that at present, no mat? ter what the price may develop, there is little or no hope for the bill in the house. Many plausible reasons can be cited to substantiate this statement. In the first place the revenue reformers in the House, headed by Carlisle and Morrison, do not desire the enactment of any law that will in any way forestall tariff reduction. To vote away millions of dollars for edu? cational purposes they hold is not practi? cable when the States ought to raise the necessary funds to educate their children. Some of the ablest lawyers in the House object to the proposition on constitution? al grounds, even claiming that a ques? tion of States' rights is involved that may cause trouble at any time. It has been openly charged that Mr. Carlisle packed the House committee against the Blair bill, and was so advised by the gentleman whom he consulted when framing his committees. The opposition to the bill was strong last year in the House, but as the measure was gaining popularity the powers were shrewd in fixing the committee. It is freely remarked that but for the known oppposition in the House most of the Republican Senators would have voted against the bill in that .body to? day. They are pretty well satisfied that tbe measure will not pass the House, and, as a shrewd political move, they have rushed through a Republican Sen? ate with a big vote, made all the larger by the aid of more than half of tbe Democratic Senators. If the proposition is defeated in the House the Republicans will go before the couutry in the fall congressional campaign and say : "A Republican Senate voted for the Blair bill, intended to liberally aid education, and particularly in the Sou|h ; but it was defeated by a Democratic House." It is probable that if it is defeated in the House more than a majority of the nega? tive votes will be cast by Republicans, but the grand old party organs will mis? represent the case and work tbe issue for all it is worth. ? Setter Van, of Macon, Ga., is well known as one of the best bird dogs of the land, but now he has immortalized himself. His master was exercising him in a field where a drove of cattle was grazing, and Van came to a point in beautiful form. While his master was walking slowly up enjoying the sight, a big bull walked out from the drove and advanced upon the motionless dog with great confidence. To his astonishment the dog didn't stir. The bull stopped, looked surprised, and took a few more steps'. Then he stopped and looked and again advanced, and so by degrees he reached the dog and brushed the extend? ed tail with his nose. Then Van gave evidence of being alive by curling the tail deftly between his legs, but other? wise remained as motionless as a graven image. Somewhat emboldened by this success, the bull, apparently still in doubt, slowly put his horns under Van's hind legs and carefully lifted him a couple of feet from the ground. Van never flinch? ed. Just then the birds arose and the master fired, whereupon the dog turned on that bull with fury and chased htm until he had fully avenged the insult. ? The popular Science News asserts that the average lencrth of life is con? stantly increasing, an3 the time may yet come when persons 100 years old will excite no more curiosity than one 80 years old at the present time. ? The Chicago pickpockets have cleared over $3,000 by attending the meetings of the Rev. Snm JoncB. Riddlebcrger, Sawyer, S; Teller; I The Work of llic Present Congress. The present Congress baa thus far very little in the way of practical results to showfor the three months it has been in session. With the exception of the pres? idential succession bill, no measure of more than local or personal interest has passed both houses and become a law. Including measures of all sorts, the hum her of bills passed has not averaged over one per week. It does not follow, how? ever, that members have been idle. There has been an immense amount of labor performed in committee, for which there is something to show in the bills and resolutions reported to the House and Senate. The agricultural, and prob? ably the District of Columbia, bills will be reported this week; the Indian, the postollice, the military academy, the ar? ray and the consular and diplomatic bills have already been reported. The pen? sions and urgent deficiency bills have passed the House and now go to the Senate. The bills yet remaining to be reported are the naval, the legislative, executive and judicial, the sundry civil, river and harbor, fortification and general deficiency bills. Most of the latter are practically completed, so that the sum total of the money proposed to be spent by ihe committees representing the ma? jority of the House will soon be known. The amounts called for in the regular appropriation bills are, as a rule, liberal. The item for $75,000,000 for pensions is not an inconsiderable one, and the ?54, 326,588 given to the postmaster general ought to provide generous mail facilities for all the States, Maryland included. The river and harbor bill will call, it is said, for $15,000,000. The naval and fortification appropriation bills, owing to the adoption of the popular policy of building a new uavy and improving our coast defenses, are expected to exceed by very consideiable suras the figures of re? cent years. Upon the whole, no reduc? tion of government expenditure, as shared by the regular appropriation bills, is to be anticipated. Should the many wild schemes that have impressed indi? vidual House committees favorably meet with like acceptance in the House itself, in the Senate and at the white house, the prospect would include a large increase over the expenditures of former years, and perhaps an addition to the public debt. But the leaders of opinion in both branches of Congress, and, if they should fail, the President may be relied upon to restrict appropriations within the wide limits of our income. Inter-State Commerce, The House committee on commerce to-day agreed to report favorably, with amendments, the Reagan Inter-State commerce bill. The detailed vote' on the bill was: Yeas, Reagan, Clardy, Crisp, Caldwell, O'Ferral, Tarsney, Bynum,SVeaver of Nebraska, and Mor? row ; nays, O'Neill of Pennsylvania. : Davis, Dunham and Johnson. The original bill was amended iu the following particulars: The District of Columbia is included with the States an Territories; to the third section, prohib? iting pooling, is added a clause making it a separate offence for every day the pooling arrangement continues. Section seven, which fixed the penalty for breach? es of the Act at three times the amount of damage, is changed so as to impose full damages with the addition of attor? neys' fees. Section eight, providing that a fine of ?1,000 shall be imposed upon railroad officials violating the Act, is changed so as to make the fine $2,000. A new paragraph is inserted at the in? stance of Representative Weaver, (in? tended to fit the case of the Grand Trunk Railroad,) as follows: "Any company receiving freight iu the United States for shipment through foreign countries, the ultimate destina? tion of which is some place in the United States, shall keep posted in a conspicu? ous place at points of shipment a sched? ule giving through rales to points in the United States beyond foreign territory. Failure to do so shall subject the compa? ny to the penalties fixed iu the bill, and any other shipment into a foreign coun? try and reshipments into the United States through rates on which have not been published as required by the Act, shall on reaching the United States be subjected to customs duties as if it were a foreign production." ? A Tennessee Court has closed a term in which six murderers escaped conviction, by sending a hungry woman to prison for two years for stealing a quart of buttermilk. ? William Bender, of Cincinnati, re? cently threw iuto the fire a package con? taining $40,000 in Government bonds. He had been drinking heavily, and fancied some of bis relatives were after bis wealth. ? The day of the wooden nutmeg is not altogether past. Two hundred patents have been issued at Washington for machines to polish low-grade coffee that it may be palmed off on the innocent as first quality. ? A leading Republican in Washing? ton says the democrats will have to re nominate Cleveland or be defeated. An ultra Democrat says in that event the South might fare better if she opened ranks and let some patriotic republican walk over the course. ? The holding of an exposition at Cincinnati this year has been positively decided on, and a number of wealthy citizens have subscribed a guarantee fund of ?100,000. The exposition will be opened on the first Wednesday in Sep? tember, and run to the 9th day of Octo? ber. This will cover a period of five weeks and four days. It is probable premiums will be dispensed with except in the cut flowers and tobacco depart? ments. ? In the city of Philadelphia there are eight woman physicians who have an annual practice of about $20,000 each. There are twelve whose income averages above $10,00Q each. There are twenty two who admit that their annual re? sources from their profession is above ?5,000. Yet in no city in the country have woo.en who sought to enter the medical profession met with more stren? uous opposition than in the city of Phil? adelphia. ? Au English author makes the striking declaration that the most terrible calamity which can be conceived of as befalling great populations is "a revolu? tion in fashion under which women should dress, as practically men do, in ; one material of one color. There are many flourishing and opulent cities in Europe and America which would be condemned by it to bankruptcy or star? vation and it would be worse than a famine or a pestilence in China, India and Japan." ? Fire was discovered in the mill of the Augusta factory at Augusta, Ga , on Friday night. A number of men Beized a bpam and tried to batter in the front door. While they were at work th<j roof fell in and the top of the wall toppled over, burying nine men under a mass of brick. M. E Hill, overseer of the facto? ry, and a member of the city council and W. C. Allen, master mechanic, were killed, and several others received injuries which may be fatal. A (.rent Discovery. Mr. Win. Thomas, of Newton, la..says: "My wife has been seriously affected with a cough for twenty-five years, and this spring more soyerely than over before She had used many remedies without relief, and being urged to try l>r. King's Now Discovery, did so, with most grati? fying results. The first bottle relieved hor very much, and the second bottle has absolutely cured her.

This is what John Remlinger, of Chicago, attempted. He disemboweled himself with a razor, and when be was dying declared that his wife had killed him. Everybody re/used to believe him, and the afilicted woman was not arrested. -- ? ?II II IIII.I1IIIIIMM1.I1II ?I 1?I""_ NOTICE. ALL persons are notified not to buy or trade for a Note given mo by J.

IT does not matter with the dear people whether I am making money or doing business just for the fun of the thing, so long as they can buy Goods from me cheaper than from those who are doing a legitimate business. Folks who buy on credit have to staud "legitimate profits"; but these who can pay cash are free to buy where the best bargains are offered, even when done by small potatoes like me. I will stand to all I advertise as long as the Goods last. I do not guarantee the prices for six months, nor that I can keep the Goods even a month. My past experience, has been that the wide-awake people generally took my offerings during the first and second weeks after advertised. Be assured if you come AT ONCE you will get them. No humbuggery in this. Notwithstanding the number sold, I still have . The Best Goose-Necked Hoes at 35 Cents, And when I say this I do not mean the cheap, light Hoes usually put off as substi? tutes by some others for these Goods. When I tay Ames' Long Handled Shovels at 75 Cents, I mean it. I offer another good Shovel, made by Oliver Ames & Sous at 65 cents. PITCH FORKS 40 cents. SINGLE TEEES 25 cents. RED CEDAR BUCKETS 50 cents, Former price 75 cents. I STILL OFFER AT COST! My HARNESS and a few SADDLES. Also, a very nice line of TRUNKS, and ALL MY CANNED GOODS.
