New crop is coming to hand in fairly lib

pressed for sale. The demand is as good
as can be expected, but no eagerness is
displayed by buyers. Sampling was some

blow of movement. The ranee for the
best reed grades is 828oc p ctl, but pur
cnasers incline to the belief that values
will tend yet lower, and biddins? is limited

THE TROUBLE TO COME
Unless Rich and Poor Learn to Re.
speet Each Other More.
f Joan din Miller's Totter 1
In the city of New York, h
therej is sign of serious trouble ahead.
But it is such that an army could no
more! compass than in Paris. I have
made my home both in Bellelle, Paris,
AT l XT V. 1 m.
oiiti tixa juwery, iew xorK. xney are
much alike in elements of destruction.
remonstrate 1 with a communist, a
workingman, during the excitement of
the siege. "What," said I, "would you
burn! Paris?" - With hand thrown
wildly in the air, he replied : "Monsieur,
we built Paris: we will burn Paris."
The French, only after Paris w s in
ashes, saw their error. Gambetta had
outgrown his Belleville and left its
fierce spirit of strife, its hatred of the
rich, its misery, hunger, madness, be
hind him. But Belleville remained the
same, bided its time, and burned Paris.
And yet this Belleville was com par a
tivelv but a small place.
But in New York the whole populace
and racked lower half of the island is
given up to poverty, to toil, tenement
houses, to misery and crime, as was
that one little place in Paris. There
are a million of the roor, the miserable,
set apart by themselves in the lower
part of the island. There are a thou
sand of the rich, the luxurious and
happy on the other end. This unfortu
nate division will tome day be fatal.
"The people, the poor and the rich,"
said Gambetta, ' should dwell together
and i learn to respect and love each
other."
He said this after the most terrible
lesson that fire and blood ever taught
.But it is a lesson wuicn is being en
tirely lost on Americans, ui course
there are many rich people and many
noble, peace-loving people in the lower
end of New York; and there are a few
laborers at the v.pper end. But the
mixture is s'.isfht. And any one who
studied even so small and peaceful
thing as the freight-handlers' strike
last year, can clearly read between
tie lines much that I have not space to
set down.
Unless the rich and the poor melt
more together and come to know and
respect each other more, there mast be
tremendous trouble in that c.tysoon,
whose rich despise the poor and the
poor in return bitterly hate the rich.
I undertake to say that a modern
prophet might lise up and without
much risk to his reputation, proclaim
it in the streets that the ambitious billy-
goat shall 6ome day soon nibble the
grasses from the blackened ruins of
Filth avenue. And as indicated before,
all the armies of "a strong government,"
when the day of destruction comes,
will be laughed at just as they were in
Paris.
No, trust the people with your prop
erty, your money, your liberty and your
life. Treat the people justly, and the
people will not betray you. "We the
j; this government of the peo
ple, by the people, and for the people."
A stronger government. Lah !
The Gravpi of Washington' Mother.
"Cu 'tis" iu Inter Oc3an.
Gen. Ca3ey has just returned from
Westmoreland county, Virginia, where
he went to make the necessary arrange
ments for the monument to be erected
at the birthplace of Washington, and
Congressman Wise, of Virginia, now
proposes to secure an appropriation
from congress to erect a memorial
tablet upon the grave of Washington's
mother, wMch is now in a lamentable
state of neglect and decay., The grave,
which is in n old cemetery a few miles
below Fredericksburg is covered with
a pedestal which was placed there
by a New York gentleman thirty
or forty years ago. He intended to
complete the monument, but lost all
his money before it M as finished. There
now lies at the foot of the pedestal,
hidden by rank weeds, a shaft of un
dressed marble, with simple marks
where the work wa3 stopped. The
grave is surrounded by a wire fence,
but that is all the attention that ever
was paid to it. I think the state of
Virginia ought to have patriotism
enough to put this sacred place in
order; but as it his not, congress can
well aff. rd to reduce the surplus in the
treasury by a lew thousands to mark a
histork al spot and honor a noble wo
man's memory.
I met an old gentleman from Freder
icksburg the other day, and asked him if
there ere any people residing there
whose memories went back far enough
to recall the Washingtons. He said
there were plenty of remin"scence3 in
the neighborhood, but they had been
handed down from past generations.
,for the oldest inhabitant was not born
when the family had gone to their
graves. Washington's father, he said,
was not given a very high character in
the local legendary lore, for he never
amounted to a great deal, and died
young, leaving his wife a heavily mort
gaged farm and a large familv of chil
dren. Mary Washington, or "Mother
Washington," as they all call her, was
a woman of noble characteristics, and
her memory was very much revered.
After her husband's death she lived in
a little house on the outskirts of the
jtown, which is now occupied by the vil
lage watchmaker, but is in the last
stages of decay. Here she died, and
the room in which she breathed her
last is still shown to the few visitors
who come that way.
A Land of Cripples.
Croffut's Letter.
I have never elsewhere met so many
cripples of all sorts as one sees in
Mexico; lame and with gnarled arms;
blind or of . imperfect vision. But the
Abbe Clavigero, one of the early
priests, said of the Aztecs : "There is
scarcely a nation on eurth where there
are fewer deformed persons ; it wou!d
be more difficult to find a single hump
back, lame or squint-eyed man among
1,000 Mexicans, than among 100 of any
other people." Indeed cripples were
so rare that Montezuma set up
museum of the few in the country as an
exhibition, ana tne number was so
small that some parents mutilated their
children's comely proportions so that
thev might be eligible, and thus sup
port their parents in luxury. Alas! the
diseases of the Spaniards, spreading
from generation to generation, have
made cripples no longer a marvel, and
some of the beggars that crouch along
the cathedrals to-day have almost lost
all semblance of the human form,
i 125 YEAE3 OLD.
Messrs. Francis Newbery & Son, Lon
don, England, established for izo years,
write: As a testimonial from one of the
oldest drug houses in Great.Britain, re
specting your household remedy, will no
doubt be of interest to you, we are pleased
to make the statement that we have sold
St.' Jacobs Oil with satisfaction to the
public, for several years, and that owing
to the extraordinary merits of the article,
the demand is continually increasing, and
that we have heard of many favorable re
ports regarding its great virtue as a pain
curing remedy.
Charles Read a as a Worker.
New York Tribune.
Charles Reade was a very methodical
worker, and neglected no helps. It was
his habit to form scrap-books contain
ing whatever strange, new or startling
events or stories appeared in the daily
press, and of these- books, which he
called his "brains," he had accumu
lated a formidable number. Believing
as he did that an author is entitled to
appropriate matter wherever he finds
it, provided that he adapts it, it is not
remarkable that he should several times
have been charged with plagiarism, nor
that in some of these instances his de
fense should have been rather adroit
than satisfactory.
He possessed a fertility of invention
which male him independent of ex
traneous assistance, however, and his
original work will bear comparison
with the strongest in English fiction,
either past or present. He has been
charged with inordinate vanity. The
truth doubtless is that he was aware of
his own ability, and did not hypocritic
ally depreciate it. That he possessd
a most sterling character is certain. He
was ever ready to defend the oppressed,
careless of the odds, and with a fire and
energy which nothing could restrain
His hand was always open to a pitiful
tale, and the many authentic stories of
his benevolence show him to have had
a knightly and tender heart.
The lMtch-Piue Industry.
"if. QjadV Georgia Letter.
That curious industry the extract
ing of oil and turpentine from pine by
distillation is represented in Augusta.
Five cords of fat pine are used in the
kiln or oven at a single charge. This
charge is smothered, the same as if in
tended for charcoal. The first result is
a quality of turpentine as clear as crys
tal. The second is turpentine oil, pure
and unadulterated. The third is
li quid resembling tar, but much thinner
and naving a pleasant ouor. iiiree or
four drops of this on a bit of sugar will
cure an ordinary sore throat in an hour,
and instantly relieve Hoarseness or
tickl.'ng in the throat. It is largely
used south for both man and beast, and
most people regard it as a sure cure for
averthing except a broken ne:'lc. llio
fourth result is a mixture largely used
bv gravel-roofers, and to some extent
by painters. It is not only water-proof,
but a great preservative. 1 he hf th and
last result is a mas of the cleanest and
purest charcoal which can be produced
in any known manner, ine cost o
operating these works is very slight
while there is a steadily increasing de
mand for the products at a fair prollt.
A Turtle of Xotf.
A correspondent siting from Nor
wich, N. Y., says: "in the summer o
1840 A. It. Warner, of Guilford, while
walking through a mea low in Unav.lle
valley, came across a large turtle. The
shell of the turtle showed the marks
where initials and date had been cut in
it, but the initials of one person only
and the date On which they had been
carved could ba made out E. R. J
1835. Kr. Warner cut A. K. W., 1840,
in the shell and released the turtle. In
18S0 the turtle was discovered in the
locality by some boys. The 'E
1835,' and 'A. R. W., 1840,
were still very distinct. In addition
were 'H. J. H., 1S70,' E. B., 1875,' and
S. D. A., 1880.' The turtle was again
turned loose. A few days ago it was
found again in the field where it was
seen in 1840 by Mr. Warner. No addi
tional carvings were on the shell. Ihe
turtle is no larger than it was foity
pears ago, showing that it must have
been full grown at that time."
Baron Nordenskjold is getting ready
to go seek t e south pole.
TUBERCULOSIS.
Remarkable Improvement in the Case of a
Physician's Daughter.
A physician in the State of New York,
whose daughter was in rapid decline,
sends us a report, which we give, showing
a prompt arrest of the disease and a rapid
return healthward.
"Your Home Treatment was duly re
ceived, and my daughter immediately
commenced its use, stopping ali other
treatment. The results are marvelous in
deed. She says that she feels nearly urll,
except that she has some cough yet. You
will see by reference to my former letter
that she nad a very bad train of symp
toms. Ttco physicians whom I called to
see her pronounced it a. case of Tubercu
losis, ami gave it as their opinion that
she cotdd not recover. She had a cough
foria year; was very hoarse; had a severe
pain in . right sicfe; chill for last two
months, with night sweats, emaciation,
weakness, and loss of appetite, and ner
vousness; could not sleep at night; 2iulse a
hundred and over at times; respiration
about twenty-five to thirty-four. She be
gan to improve in about one week from
the time she commenced the Oxygen
Treatment, and has continued up to the
present time All the bad symptoms
enumerated have passed off. I cannot
find words to express my gratitude."

Style at the White House.
f Washington Cor. Cincinnati Enquirer.
' While I was in Washington I went
through a portion of the executive man
sion which I have not seen for the past
two or three years. It has been re
furnished according to the prevailing
style by Tiffany and other imitators of
what is gbing on in Europe. The east
room is now a kind of silver and gold
room, and it has enly two portraits in
it Gen. Washington, by Stewart, and
Mrs. Washington, by Andrews. In the
long corridor, which connects the east
room with the staircase and bisects the
lower floor, I looked at the portraits of
the presidents, and it 6eemed to me
that the best of them was that of Gar
field. The artist has made the light
shine on his forehead so as to bring out
his intellectual nature strcniily and
also to give a kind of tender halo" to his
eye expressive of that almost feminine
sensibility he had.
A number of women were going
through the apartments with the man
servant, and I was struck with the
want of refinement and delicacy
among these, and it seemed to me that
the older the women were the more
crotchety and disagreeable were their
remarks. There was one old woman
who seemed to think that the White
House and its treasures were designed
to illustrate her private biography.
She would look up to the portrait of
Hayes and say: "Who is that?"
"President Hayes," replied the custo
dian. ,"I-never seen him. Who
is this man?" "That is President
Fierce." "Yes, I seen him once."
PRESIDENTIAL FAVORITES.
Some Interesting Facts concerning
the Men who Stand Closest to
the Chief Executive.
Visitors who, from curiosity or business,
have called at the White House, must
have been impressed by the courteous
yet systematic manner with which they
were received and escorted through the
mansion. The gentlemen whose duty it
is to receive all persons coming to the
White House are Colonel ii. fc. uenmore,
Mr. John T. Rickard and Mr. T. 1. Fen
del, and they have occupied their present
positions through tne various auraimira
tions since and even during the war. Mr.
Pendel was President Lincoln's body
guard; saw him to his carriage the fatal
night on which he visited Ford's theater,
and he now has m ms possession me
blood-stained coat which Mr. Lincoln

During the weary yet exciting years of the

the reins of government, and when uar
fiplH shot. It was these men who stood
in the. executive mansion, welcoming the
advent of each new administration, bow
ing at its departure, and receiving both

During that long, not ana never 10 ue
. T . . i-t.
forgotten summer when .President uar
field lay between "two worlds," the na
tion became aware of the deadly malarial
influence which hung about the White
House. But all through that period these
three men never deserted their posts for a
sinjrle day, although each one was suffer
ine: intensely. In conversation with the
writer. Colonel nensmore saia:
It is impossible to describe the tortures
have undergone. To be compelled to
smile and treat the thousands of visitors
who come here daily with courtesy when
one is m the greatest agony requires
a tremendous euort. All that summer
had terrible headaches, heart-burn and a
stifling sensation that sometimes took
away my breath. My appetite was uncer
tain and I felt severe pains in the small of
my back. I was under the doctor s care
with strict instructions not to go out of
the house, but I remained on duty never
theless. You would be surprised to know
the amount of, quinine I took; on some
days it was a much as sixteen grains."
"And was Mr. Kickard badly olr, too?
"I should think he was. Why, time and
again we have picked him up and laid him
on the mantel here in the vestibule, he
was so used up."
Yes, exclaimed Mr. Kickard. "I was
so wreak I could not rise after lying down
without help, and could only walk with
the aid of two canes, and then in a stoop
ing position. Oh, we have been in a pretty
bad condition here, all of us."
"And yet you are all the embodiment of
health," said the writer, as he looked at
the three bright and vigorous men before
him.
"Oh, yes," said Mr. Rickard, "we have
not known what sickness was for more
than a year."
"Have you some secret way of overcom
ing malaria and its attendant horrors."
"I think we have a most certain way,"
replied Colonel Densmore, "but it is no se
cret. You see, about two years ago my
wife began to grow blind, and I was
alarmed at her condition. She finally be
came so she could not tell whether a per
son were white or black at a distance of
ten feet. One of her lady friends advised
her to try a certain treatment that had
done wonders for her, and to make a long
story short, she did so and was completely
cured. This induced me to try the same
means for my own restoration and as soon
as I found it was doing me good I recom
mended it to my associates and we have
all been cured right here in the stronghold
of malaria and kept in perfecfhealth ever
sinee by means ef Warner's Safe Cure.
Now I am not a believer in medicines in
fjneral, but I do not hesitate te say that
am satisfied that I should have died of
Bright's disease of the kidneys before this
had it not. been for this wonderful remedy.
Indeed, I use it as a household medicine
and give it to my children whenever they
have any ajlmejits."
"Yes, exclaimed Mr. Pendel, "I use it
in my family all the while and have found
it the most efficient remedy we have ever
employed. I know of very many public
men who are using it to-day and they all
speak well of it."
" I weigh 160 pounds to-day," said Mr.
Rickard, "and when my physician told me
over a year ago I could not hope to recover
I weighed 122 pounds. Under such Influ
ences you cannot wonder that 1 consider
this the best medicine before the Ameri
can people."
The above statements from these gentle
men need no comments.' They are volun
tary and outspoken expressions from
sources which are the highest in the land.
Were there the slightest question regard
ing their authenticity they would not be
made public, but as they furnish such val
uable truths for all who are suffering, we
unhesitatingly publish them for the good
of all."'

A very singular fact has been ob
served with regard not so much to the
shape of the no3e as to the setting oi
it in the face, so to speak. To be
strictly ccrrect, from the artist's point
of view, tho nose should be accurately
in the middle of the face, and at right
angles with a line fiom the pupil of one
eye to that of the other. As a matter
of fact it is rarely or never found thus
placed. It is almost invariably a little
out of "tho square," and the fact of its
being so is often that which lends a
peculiar expression and piquancy to the
face. A medical writer points out that
there are anatomical reasons why a
slight deviation from the true central
line may he expected, and that the nose
which is thus accurately straight be
tween the two eye3 may be considered
an abnormal one, and that the only ab
solute c orrect organ is that which de
viates a little to the right or left.

Some people are slow in telling what
good things have been done for them, but
Mr. John P. Daly, of Gillisonville, S. C,
says he takes great pleasure in testifying
to the wonderful efficacy of Brown's Iron

general debility of the system. He has
personally experienced the most satisfac
tory results from the use of this valuable
medicine. Make a memorandum of this,

Read what 'a San Francisco lady says
about Dr. Henley's Celery, Beef and Iron:
"For two years I had been suffering from
a serious nervous trouble, accompanied
with pain and palpitation of the heart,
impaired digestion, loss of appetite,
sleeplessness and fearful spasms, which
my family and friends thought would
prove fatal. To alleviate mv suffering I
took laudanum by the spoonful. Most of
the time I was confined to my bed and was
rarely able to get about the house. My
physicians (I had three) could find no rem
edy to relieve me. When my case seemed
desperate my son brought me a bottle of
Dr. Henley's Celery, Beef and Iron, which
I reluctantly consented to try. I was at
once benefited, and three bottles have
given me a new lease of life and health. I
am now able to walk anywhere and have
gained more than twenty pounds in
weight. It gives me great pleasure to
certify to the great relief this valuable
remedy has given me and I cordially
recommend it to those similiarly afflicted.

HAY FEVEE.
Many members of the Hay Fever Association
of New England, have used Papillon Catarrh
Cure with remarkable results. We have nu
merous testimonials testifying to ita efficacy.
Its curative powers are so positive, and the ef
fect of its use so pleasing, that when once used,
it is ever used. Unlike every other Hay Fever
Remedy, it i3 not a temporary relief, but a
permanent cure. No change of climate is
necessary when this remedy is usd. It stops
the snumes, the sneezing and the watery eyes.
It permits breathing through the noBtrfls, and
cures the inflammation. Any one wishing pos
itive evidence from the many who have and
are recommending this remedy, can procure a
list of testimonials by sending us their address
by postal card.
A prominent reporter on the staff of the Chi
cago "Tribune" says: "Papillon Catarrh Cure
has saved me hundreds of dollars in expenses,
and months of time."
Mr. J. C. Emmons, Attorney, Macomb, 111.,
says: 1 nave had more reuer irom one aose
of Papillon Catarrh Cure than from all other
Hay Fever Remedies I ever tried; it cured
me at once. I traveled anions rag weeds dur
ing hay fever time, without a recurrence."
It is not a new remedy: n has been in use lor
nearly ten years, and never fails to cure Ca
tarbii, Rose Cold and Hay Fever. Use ti
by insufflation or with an atomizer, or any
other way that will reach the seat of the dis
ease; it cures by healing the inflamed mem
branes of the nostrils, which is the cause of
the disease.
