A RAI ON THE SOUTH. gHE REPUBLICAN PROGRAXME FOR THE FALL CkMPAIGN. Uepenting the Attack on the Prebident The Struggle for Oregon--Soft Words for the 3enth. (Carrespondesce of the News and Courier.) WasHiEGToN, March 23.-One visi ble effect of the warfare inanurated upon the Administration by the Re p'ublican Senate has been to bring dhe President and Democratic Coxngress men into better relations than existed I at the opening of Conigress. Senator Plumb, of Kansas, who opposed the Edtqunds movement tron its inception and who has not. endeavored to con ceal his opposit.ion, remarked that it was foolish policy from a political view. He said a imonth or more ago: "By assailing the President we (the Republicans) will inevittbly drive the Democrats to his support. They can not do anything else." Senator Plumb's political perception has been verified by the result. It was patent to the Dem:>crats at the ouatet t hat they could not even hold aloof from the Aaminis tration. The Democratic Senators in the first cancus held on this question unanimously adopted a resolution pledging their coidial and earnest support to the Admiistration. A here were several Senators present who did not, by any eauns, subscribe to the wisdom of the President's refusal to sumtnit papers to the Senate. They believed that no harm could have re suited from permitting the Senate to have access to all the files, as a matter of fact, but in view of the plain fact that the Republican Senators were endeavoring to make a political issue of the President's refusal these Sena tors did not hesitate to declare their support of the Executive. The inre friendly footing upon which the Ad ministration stands to its partv leaders and representatives in Congres< is visible in several directions. IlI natured criticisms of the President because of disappointment.- in procur ing desired appointments are not heard among Democrats. The ques tions of difference between Democrats and the Executive are no longer thrust upon public notice. In fact, there is apparent a general disposition among Democrats to give the Administration a hearty supportand cheerful co-opera tion in all matters and measures of public interest. The natural effect of such a disposition, and of a line of conduct in accord with it, will be to engender a better party feeling and spirit throughout the country, some thing .very important as the time approaches for preparation for the fall political campaign. Oregon will lead oft in June with an election for State officers and mem ber of Congress. The Democrats In tend to make a determined effort to carry the State. It is already evident that the Republicans are preparing to bend every energy to the capture of the next House of Representatives. It is also evident that they are ente'r taining the hope of making decisive gains in the Southern States. Indeed, uniless thy can make gains in that section it is difficult to see how they can control the House. The shrewd est Republican leaders who shape and direct the political campaigns of that party hive determined that so far as the Sbuth is concerned none but repu table men shall take the field as its candidates for Congreas. These shrewd -leaders appreciate the fact that reputa ble men are very scarce in the Repub lican party of the South, but this does not deter them or dash their hopes. Their policy will be to persuade men of good character who have not been in affiliation with the Republican party to take the field in opposition to regu lar Democratic candidates and to give them the Republican support and vote On the tariff qenestion, and particu larly on the qnestion of internal improvements, men of good standing in the South will be invited to stand for Congress in opposition to the Democrats. In Virginia, North Caro lina, Tennessee and in Georgia can didates will be urged to take the field in behalf of a repeal of the internal revenue laws. As a means of fasten ing the Drotective tariff policy more firmly the Republicans will be willmng to commit themselves to a repeal of the internal revenue laws to an extent afflcient for their purposes in States and sections where that tax bears heavily upon the people. It is ex pected that, naturally to a greater or less exteht, there will exist dissatisfac tion, resulting from disappointed hopes and ambition, with the Administra tion. Such dissatisfaction will be taken advantage of. In short, the Republicans mean to thoroughly over haul the South and to ply the sharpest tactics in efforts to capture Congres sional districts. The idea of making the South a fruitful field of political gain prevails among the Republican leaders in both houses here. Sherman, Logan and other bigt men of that party have nothing but kind words for the South. Destructive Work of a Tornado. A Findlay, Ohio, special sys: A tornado passed over Bellemore, a small town northeast of here, in Putmnan county on Tuesday. The heavens sud denh- ' :ame dark and then came a terrine , torm cloud, funnel-shaped, tearing up trees by the roots, blowing down smnill huildingts, and destroying everything in its path. A protracted meeting was being held in the Metho dist Church at the time. The stee' was blown down and -the roof carried off. The congregation was panic striken., but fortunately no one was killed, though many received bruises and cuts which may result fatally. The damage done by the cloud will amount to many thousand dollars. Was it Cancer ? I have been taking B. B. B. for six or seven weeks for something like canceron my neck, and I would not take oNtE THoU sA ND DOLLA~ts for the benefit received. I had previously tried various so-called blood remedies, but B. B. B. is the best, the quickest and the cheapest bloodpui fier l ever used. I refer to any merehat of Griffin, Ga. J. H. BARNES, Griffin, Ga, Were we so disposed. we conld make a great case of cancer cure of the above, but as we do not think that genuine can eers are ever cured, we do not propose to hus bug the public. The above is perhaps only a ease of -scrofulous ulcer, which B. B. B. cures more speedily than any remedy. It will cure any so-called cancers in one half the time and one third the money required by any boasted remedy. BLOjOD BALM CO., C Atlanta, Ga.

L New Hobby of the Fashionable Young Ladies of WaAhgton. If there is any new kink or wrinkle n the line of fashionablehobbies which uas not reached Washington the society young ladies would like to have it pass this way, writes a Washington cor respondent. This year it is the proper thing for one young lady to be desper Stely inl love With another. She nay ave a young man-and most of thein do-but unless she is pesperately inl love with one of her own sex she cai ret assured she is not en regle This eurze is being carried to a ridiculous exItent here. Those of us who have been watching its rapid growth have been intensely amused at the extreme iy practical nanner in which some of the young ladies go about it. It mnu.st not. be supposed that because ftsbion's whim coinanls a voutng lady to rave about sowc other young ladv's beauty, and to drip all matter of literary treacle over the object of her alleged desires, that it is at all neces sary her 'mash' should be one of her own circle of friends. The shrewd irl will never permit herself to be caught in such a filimsy trap as that. She must admire something feminine, and so she looks about her and ususaly settle' down on some actress. Rhea, Jeannie Winston and Vernona Jarbeau are the three avorites. Au three at thein are deluged with flowers and perfumed notes every time they come to town. Not long ago Miss Winston stopped for about two hours in Wash ington on her way North. A telega tion of young ladies met her at the depot and entertained this fenii e Bunthorie during her stay. Quite recently Jarbeau played in "The Mikado" at one of our theatres. Two voung ladies at once became desper tely smitten. They called and were cordially received. ~Jarbean told them all manuer of preLty tiings albouT nerself, her origin and her hitory. They were enraptured. But when the clever little actress innocently told them that she was barely past 20, and that she felt just like a school-girl, the young ladies looked at her a trifle increduously. Before they left Jarbean managed to tell them that in case they bired a box at the matinee she wouli flirt with them from the stage. The girls hired the box and Jarbeau did as she promised. All of this talk may be ickening to those who have never moved in society at the Capital, but it must be confessed that when one looks at the average brainless dude who is upposed to entertain the young lady he does not wonder at the fact that the girls are falling in love with one another. ATTEMPTED AAssSINATION. An Efrort to take the Life of the -Mayor of Houston. On Tuesday night an attempt was made to assassinate Mayor Wm. I. Baker, of Houston, Texas, under peculiar circumstances. Mayor Baker is running as an independent citizens' andidate for re-election against D. C. Smith, the Democratic nominee, who is beiNg supported by the labor organ izations. The canvass has been signal ized by numerous acrimonious discus ions. On the evening in question Baker, with others, nttended a colored Baker campaign meeting, near the Howard Oil Mills, in the 4th ward. About 8:30 o'clock withJudge Bnisher, Edward Jemlison and several colored1 in, he started to walk some distance it the outskirts of the town where snother meeting was being held. After crossing the Sabine at the bridge a high lonelv structure, the party serged otn the South side, when a iorseman riding a gray horse rapidly sproached and asked: "is Mayor Baker in that crowd?" "Yes, what do you want with me?" sked the Mayor as he left the party iud walked toward the horsman in the niddle of the road. "I have some private business with von" said the rider, and he asked Baker to walk down the road a short :istance. As they started away the man. said: 'Will you withdraw in favor of Smith?" "You must be joking," replied Baker. Several rods from the starting point :he assassin pulled up his horse and Baker placed his let't hand on the orse's mnane as if to listen, when sud lenly the Mayor was greatly startled by thie flash of a pistol in his face, which blinded him for a mooment. Ehree shots were fired in quick succes dio. Baker dodged to the ground, andi the would-be assassin, who evi lently thought he had killed the Mayor rode hastily away. He was followed by Judge Brashear and Mr. Jemison, ho opented fir-e on him. Investiga tion developed the fact that the l.orse nan had watched the Mayor's party leave the first place of meeting and had followed them by a circuitous route. [The Mayor is uninjured. He is sixty earold and one of the wealthiest men in Harris county. He is not a po'itician ad never drew his salary of Mayor. He is unmarried and accepts the posi tion as a means of occupying his time. The Blair BiH1. IT seems that there is a determina tion on the part of the advocates of the Bair bill in the House to press them elves to a hearing. At a meetintg of the friends of the bill recently the fol lowing resolution was adopted, which if carried out will give them a hearing. It reads as follows: "That Mr. Willis, of Kentucky, be and he is hereby requested to introduce into the House next Monday the bill commonly known as the 'Blair- bill,' with such amendments thereto as he may deem beet, if any, and more that said bill be referred to a committee 01 the House that, in his opinioh, will repor-t thereon promptly; and in the meantime the chairman of this confer ence appoint a committee consisting' of two members of each delegation who shall confer with their respective colleagues and secure their support of said reference, said committee to re port at an adjourned meeting." Dr. Armstrong to Lecture. It is now definitely settled that Dr. Armstrong, late rector of St. Philip's Church, Atlanta, will take to the lec ture field. His friends have advised him to do so, and will render every as sistance possible. His first lecture will be iven in Atlanta. Then he will go to ichmond, Wheeling, Cincinnati, St. Louis, Chicago and other places. Being a natural orator, and having now a world-wide advertisement, lhe will make a ten-strike. There are tany people who still believe lhe is Johni Wilkes Booth. Ile says that he will not enter journalism, at least for the present. -A fire in Bufialo, N.

Ex-Postmaster Manlev, of Augusta, Me., the friend of Mr. Ulaine, who came here a week ago to spUd tone days in conferring with Mr. B aine's friends and in looking over the oliti cal field, lett the city somiw hat abrupt ly for New York, where he will wa a1 few days and 1he 1e retUrn to Maini In Ypeakin~g to a frien.1 Mr. Man said that his vi-it had ben .hortenled bV the persistit fabricta:in o1 re:ark i0, made by him. The statemnent resps c ing Mr. B.aile,'s potitiont on the '*n troversy betweena the Senate ant i he President, for instance, was pulshed in a New York paper before Mr. Manley had called uipon StrFr.v. As he remarked upon tit subjc I do not think Mr. Baine is rixine himself up with ma-tters whibc it onlv d) not cocern hiin, but whici can' have no important bearing tipon public afflirs or upon public opiniion. There is no doubt whatever abont the p:ans of the friends of Mr. Blaine. They (10 not propose to aiain4 on the cont'eet. They claim that ;he loss of New York was due to that ill-consid ercd dinner. The Uurchard incid:ent was worked by the oppoittion for all it was worth at the last imomn-tt, but to the dinner they charge the nost serious influence upon the popular sen timen In New York. M r. Bmine him self so considers it, but recognizes the t act inat while inspired by the best of motives among his friends the indis creet specches which it drew out were unfortunt. It is thought Vat wit hl the exierienee of 184 and the imbe cility and distractions of the Demo Crae party they will b a%)e to carry the country. At all even's, Mr. Blaine's friiends have male ny iheir tind. to beigin early and ralhy their old forces in their support before they become dispersed in support of other candidates. They will take a hand inl tue Conlgression d and Legislative I campaigns. where there is a chance of strengthening their position. DYING UNDER PASTEUR'S CARE. The Terrible Death of a Russian Who was Bitten by a Mad Wolf. One of the Russians, who were bit ten by mad woies, died in Paris last week with all the symptoms of hydro phobia. The liutians were placed under Dr. Pasteur's care on the 15th March. They were nineteen i itm ber. All had been attacked by mad wolves and terribly lacerated. The man who died had been carefully oper ated upon and regularly itocnlated with virus twice in every twenty-four hours since he arrived. H is terrible death has operated as a serious check to public confidence in the effective ness of rasteur's discovery. The first positive indications that the patient's ystem was resisting the treatment manifested themselvs on Sunday, after ne had been in the hospital over five days and had been inoculattd more thin halt a dozen - times. Death oc carred while the man was mad and wild with physical torture. The scientist is much annoy ed by the un favorable comments caused by this failure of his method, but he insists that it establishes nothing. The in quest revealed the presence in oue of the man's cheek bones of a portion of a decaved tooth that undoutedly be longed to the wolf by which the tman was bitten. This Pasteur en pp ..es hastened the incubation ot the disease. The lungs and other internal organs were filled with clotted blood, showing that there had been paralysis of the treathing apparatus. The tonsils and tongue were abnormally swollen, and the brain was slightly congested, but was otherwise healthy. The other Russian patients have shown symp toms of acute hydrophobia.

A POOR GIRL'S LUCK. Fatlling Heir to Fabulons Wealth by thie Death of a DIitaunt Relative. (F26om the Louker~e Courikr-Joarnat.)
