get be aufthe catting of stamps. Often
m s .jerry of pestofflee work the
juade Q^tjo,, mark does not cover the
dswia^; bat falls only upon one corner,
u»r rest going upon the envelope. The
. operator takes a stamp that has a black
Bark,' say upon the left band lower
eemer. He carefully cata a square
piece oat of that corner, making it
Mige enough to cut away all of the
canceled portion. He then secures a
■tamp on which the cancellation mark
has mllen In some other corner. He
onrafoUy cots ont the tame sited square
from the lower left hand corner of the
•tamp, and joining it with the first
* stamp he has a whole stamp upon
wbicn there are no cancellation marks
These stamps are naed upon packages
Which are tied with a string, and the
Mring is iugeoionsiy placed over the
cut sumps.
"Tike any package of a dozen let
tars and yon will see bow easy it is to
find stamps for this bnainesa.” As he
spoke the official drew from his |>ocket
a handle of half a dozen letters. Upon
the first letter the cancellation mark
was only upon the lower right corner
of the stamp. The second was can
oaled completely, and the third was
Marked only upon the upper left hand
corner. Bo a combination could have
been eaaily made with the stamps upon
the first and third letters.

low who are never so happy as when they
are riding the crestwavc of the tempest of
pas don. A distinction should be drawn,
however, between the followers of the red
flag and those who owe allegiance to no
banner but the Stars and Stripes; between
the anarchists who preach ruin and the true
representatives of labor who believe in law-
f 1 methods for achieving desirable re
forms.”
"Then thei% is no affiliation between the
Knights of La)x>r and the s- archistsf”
"Most emphatically no. The scenes of
bloodshed and disorde
fer which have taken
nla' c iu Chicago are disgraceful, uncalled
lor and deserving of the severest condemna
tion and punishment.’ The men who march
under any flag but the Stars and Stripes are
not American workingmen, either native or
naturalized. Honest labor is not represent
ed ip the ranks of those who array them
selves under the emblem of blood and de
struction. I have no sympathy with the
men who have instigated such deeds as
have I torn perpetrated in Chicago. It is
the duty of every organization of working
men in the United States to condemn the
outrages committed in the name of labor.
I believe the man who comes to this coun
try and who refuses to become a citizen of
the United Slates after having sufficient
time and opportunity to do so, lias no more
right to be here than the alien land grab-
tier who takes possession of the acres of
ll|S West. The workingmen ef America
have a more powerful weapon than the bul
let in the balk>t, and if they use their law
ful rights as citizens judiciously they will
have no occasion to resort to desperation.”
-Are the men whose names are given as
the leaders of this movement in Chicago
.Knights of Labor?”
o; and if Knights of Labor have taken
pars in these murderous prex-eediogs, they
sho ild be promptlyerpelled from the order.
Our organization naans no antagonism to
nec ssary capital, nor have we any conflict
witli legitimate enterprise; and when we
Lav» occasion to take issue with illegitimate
enterprise, we will do so undci^ the law,
which protects rich ami poor alike. It is
the duty of every Knight of Labor to sup
port laws made to harmonize the interests
of l iitor and capital.”
"Can you speak with any authority as to
the attitude of the trades unions toward
those disgraceful doings in Chicago?"
I can. There is a not a trades union in
America that will coanteimnce wrong do
ing or uphold the men who have been en
gaged in such scenes of bloodshed and de
struction of property as those re]>orted from
Chi; ago. The aim of the trades unions is
to protect and rlevata lalxw, ami not de
grade and destroy it m the anarchists have
attempted to do.

4- K ft Ataart,
VVashikoton. I). C., May 3.—Frederick
Dougta*, who lectured here during the
week an his recollections of slavery, said,
among other things, that he did not ap
prove of emigration for his race. The ne
gro could never go any place w here he
could not And while people He thinks,
by the way, that IVsident Cleveland is a
very brave man Said be recently tn a let
ter lo a friend, "While he treated me as he
treated other office holders in tbe Dis
trict, he was 1»r»vc enough to invito
Mrs. Douglas* and myself to his re
ceptions, thus rebuking the timidity—I will
not say cowardice or prejudice—of his pre
decessor. Whatever els*' Mr. Cleveland
may I*', he is not a snob and he is not a
coward.” Mr. Douglass further said that
he was a Republican, and won I do all he
mild to elect a Republican President iu
l&W. but be honored imudincsa whenever he
found it. and he hud found it in the pres
ent occupant of the While House.
Tbe President's ntlernoou band shaking*

Tbe Senate's plan for patching up the
White House at an expense of fDUO.OOO
meets with objections from different diree-
tious. The Senate proposes that South of
the present structure there shall be built a
duplicate house, connected with it l>y a cor
ridur, and that the new edifice shall be ap
propriated exclusively by the family of the
President. The first serious objection to
this novel scheme is that it practically de
stroys forever the symmetry and tndividn
ality of the ancient mansion, which, after a
life of more than half a century, has become
as well known, probably, as any public
building in the world. With the proposed
alteration the present beautiful Southern
front disappears forever. Again, the new
building would completely cut #ff from the
present (then the official residence) the love
iy view to The South of the beoutiful
grounds, of'the river and the hills beyond
tt, Arlington, the monument, and all the
other striking objects of interest now so
eagerly gazed at by the visitors from the
Southern windows of the East room and
the adjacent apartments. Their prospect
to the South from those apartments will
henceforth be limited to the entrancing
view' of & "white” wall some thirty or more
feet distant, which would equally oppose a
complete barrier to the grateful Southern
breeze.
During the week, for the first time this
session, the Senators have discussed tariff
and listened to a speech on prohibition, al
though there was neither a temperance nor
a tariff measure before them. The tariff
debate was sprung in connection with
steamship subsidies Senator Beck wanted
free ships if they canuuj the tuail faster
than American vessels. He contended that
there was no patriotism in trade. Said lie;
"If General Lee were living and kept a
Bore in Richmond, with General Butler
next door to him, although Butler was
never a favorite with the womeu of the
South, if he would sell calicoes one-half a
cent a yard cheaper than General Leo, he
would ruin General Lee’s business in less
than six months.”
The Senator from New Hampshire, Mr.
Blair, who talked temperance to the Senate,
is best known through the great education
al bill which he formulated and introduced.
In speaking on his proposed constitutional
amendment, prohibiting the manufacture
or sale of alcoholic liquors as beverages, he
said, whenever the geneml welfare was im
paired or threatened by any existing or im
pending evil, it was-lhe duty of society
through the agency of the government to
enact and enforce law* to restrict or destroy
that evil.

An Educated Horse.—Wide-awake
Georgians who really want to drink fire
water almost always succeed in satisfying
their wants, notwithstanding tbe prohibi
tion movement in that State. A country
man rode into Athens the other day, and
soon his horse showed every symptom of
being very ill. He lay down and (roiled,
and seemed to be in pain. A doctor was
called, who gave a prescription that in-

Miss Caroline Terboss died in New Voik
recently, aged 77 years. Soon after her
eleventh birthday all development ceased,
and to the hour of her death she remained
in form, stature and organization a child.
Case* of this kind have been recorded,
though they are very few; Done, however,
having attained the age of Mias Terboes,
death usually occurring before 21. Miss
Terlsjas was only 4 feet 4 inches in height,
remarkably quick intellectually, and until
within six msnth.s of her death enjoyed
good health. The' case w di be reported on
in full in tbe medical journals.
News from Burmah i* very sensational,
and shows that the natives, witli the assist
ance of tbe Dakods, have temporarily, at
least, got the tletter of the British army of
occupation. One dispatch states that the
insurgents have got possession of Manda
lay, and have destroyed by fire no leas than
4,000 houses, Including the Chinese and
Siamese Isizaars. The Hostility of the na
tives who remain loyal to the dethroned
king, Tbebaw, to the Chinese is intense,
because of China’s openly avowed indorse
ment of Great Britain’s seizure of Burmah.
The officers commanding the British forces
have telegraphed to Lord Duffertn, the
Viceroy, that they are powerless to prevent
the rebellious rioting of the natives and
have urgently asked Tor reinforcements.
The manairemcnt of affairs by President
Cleveland and his Cabinet and heads of
bureaus will show up well. There ha4
been a reduction of 267j clerks in classified
service of the Treasury Department whose
services were not needed at all and whose
places will uot lie filled. The result is an
unusual saving to the government—$232,•
600. And if the statement of certain offi
cials in the various dcjwrtmeats are true,
tbe [arsons who have been appointed to
office iluriug'ihe past year accomplish ucaiiy
twice a* much wdiE*a» was performed by
their immediate predecctoor*. It is in part
by such economies, pervading the whole
public service, the Treasury show s a gain
of $"3,0U0.(N)0 iu nine months of Cleve
land’*, compared with the -ame peripd of
Arthur's administration.
Cool Prueei-uin*.
The Georgia M jur’s uniform, of a shirt
collar and a pair of spurs, has iu boa been
eclipsed by the naked appearance of an
Albino on Main street yesterday afternoon.
Early in the day the Albino, who fa of
weak mind, was seen riding out of the city
on the Poor House wagon. It seems that
he left the wagon and wandered in tbe di
rection of Fwhsr’s pond, where parties
were fishing. He had divested himself of
even stitch of clothing, which he con
ccaled in a djtch adjoining the railroad,
and in nature's coatuuntdeliberatrlv walked
to the pond and proceeded to flounder
about in shallow water, regardless of the
passers by in vehicles and on foot. One or
two men in a Mat made toward the Albino
and scared him off. He grabbed his hat
plated it under his arm. and started toward
the city. With martial tread but almost
closed eyes, (the Albino’s pink eye cannot
stand the sun,) he deliberately walked
through Main .street, perfectly nude, until
he was seen in front of Bremen’s store by
Policeman Graddlck. The policeman was
so dumbfounded that lie scarcely knew
what to do. It was difficult to determine
whether the policeman or the Albino would
surrender, but finally the nude man was
run into Brenncn's store, where a blanket
was wrapped around him, and he was
£ laced in a hack and taken to the guard
ousc. The Albino was followed up the
street after he entered the city proper by
hackmen and colored men and boys. Every
one who saw him was so surprised that any
action toward arresting him seemed to have
been lost. Many persons who saw him at a
great distance mistook him for a base ball
player in tights. The “oldest inhabitant
says the scene was one never witnessed in
Columbia lief ore and scarcely will be again.

A CURRENT ITEM.
"Is the editor in?” asked the farmer,
As he opened the sanctum door.
"Out, eh? Well, give him this basket,
And say it’s from David Moore.
They’re some currents as we’ve been raisin’
And I hope be won't take no offense
If I ask him to give ’em a notice
In the column of current events.”
The office boy grabbed for the farmer,
And kicked his dog over the stair:
Then smiled aloud in his boyish delight
As the cries of that current the air.
A Goo* Many Failure*.;
During the year 1883 there were 10,568
failures m business in the United States
and Canada. Some of these were big con
cerns, and some were very small. Failure>
is sorrowful business to any man, .especial
ly if it to health that fails. A great many
times 10,568 people fail in health in the
course of a year. Many of them might lie
saved if they would take Brown’s Iron
Bitten, the great family medicine and re
storer qf wasted health. *

The time has come at last when
the terrible agony inchtent to
this very critical period In a
woman’s life can be avoided.
A distinguished physician, who
passed the. greatest portion of
nis life (forty-four years) in
this branch of practice, left to
childbearing woman this price
less legacy and life-saving ap
pliance, "TDK MOTHERS’
FRIEND,” and to-day there
are thousands of the best wo
men in our land who, having
used this wonderful remedy
before confinement, rise up and
call his name blessed.
We receive letters from every
section of the fouBtry thank
ing us for placing Ibis'prepara
tion in the reach of 4mtt'eriug
woman. One lady front North
Carolina writes us that site
would, like to lhatik the pro
prietors on her knees for bring
ing it to her notice, as in a pre
vious confinemeftt she had two
doctors, and they were com
pelled to use chloform, instru
ments, etc., and she suffered
almost death; but this time she
.used 'MOTHERS’ FRIEND,'”
and her labor was short, quick
and almost like magic. Now
why should a woman suffer
when site can avoid it.’ We can
prove all wo claim by l+tin/j
witneMi*, and anyone interest
ed can call, or have their hus
bands dofto, at our office, and
soe the original li-tters, which
we cannot publish.
This reined) is one about which we can
not publish certificates, but it is a most
wonderful liniment to be u4bd after tlie
first two or three month*.
