Washingtou, Nor. 6. The
World correspondent called upon
Geu. Logau tbis aflernoon and
asked biin what b bad to say
about the New York electiou. He
raid be bad netbiug to Bay abont
it iu particular, more tbao that the
Democrat seemed to bare carried
the State by quite a majority.
"I see that the New York Timet
and other papers iu New York, as
well as the Cbairuiau of the Re
publics.! Committee, attribute the
Bepublicau defeat in part to the
'bloody-shirt' campaign that was
made," said the correspondent.
-I see that iusiuuation baa been
made iu some of the papers, at
which I was very much surprised.
I presume it was on account of
the appeal I made to the voters
of New York wheu I spoke for an
bouest ballot and a fair count. I
did say that it was a fact that in
many of the Slates South, in many
parts f thetu, Republicans were
not allowed a free ballot; that
they were cheated out of their
rights as American citizens. I
did call attention to the fact that
the vote cast iu New York iu 1884
waa 1.1CT.22C. On that New York
bad thirty-six members of Con
gress and Senators and thirty-six
votes iu the Electoral College.
That Alabama, South Carolina,
Louisiana and Mississippi all com
bined cast 474.908 voles in 1884, a
little more than one tLird the vote
of New York. On that vote these
States had thirty six members of
Cnngret and east thirty six elec
toral votes. 1 raid that the re
inaiuder of the voters iu these
States were prevented from cast
ing their ballots, and iu that way
one vote In the South was equal
to two and one half votes in the
North, and if any Democrats in
New York was willing to admit
that be was entitled to only a little
more thau a third of the influence
iu this government that Demo
crat South whs entitled to it was
a question for him to determine.
I said that the charge tbut Repub
lie. us could have prevented this
was not correct. The Republi
cans were not the ones who com
mitted the frauds or did the bull
dozing, and therefore they were
not the ones to correct it. but it
was an easy matter for the Demo
crats to put n stop to it by ceasing
to perpetrate these frauds over
the country. I said that if tins
was continued it would tinally be
destructive to republican govern
ment. If any man in New York,
Republican or Democrat, indorsed
this kind of fraud and does not
wish it stopped, then to him I
have naught to say. 1 was against
it iu my speeches iu New York.
I am a.aiust it now and propose
to contiuue to bo against it. If
this is what is called walng the
bleody shirt by certain so-called
Republicans in New York, then I
did it and will continue so to do
it wherever I go, in or out of Con
gress until these frauds cease.
Until they do cease the Govern
ment will not be fully restored.

At the close of the Francs Ger

was pressed down with such au
agouy of tribulation, attention
was called to a series of events of
the Franco-English wars during
more than five centuries earlier,
involving, many disasters to the
same nation. Epitomes of the
two series of events were placed

It would not be easy to Bud twe
historical narratives with more
similarity among the iucidents
than these crushed first by the
English and afterwards by the
German. Many phenomena, it
has often been remarked, iu the
career of Napeleon Itouaparte
bore considerable resemblance to
those experienced or reproduced
by Oliver Cromwell. History may
be considered to have repeated
itself here; but, as before men
tioned, only iu such incidents as
were surrounded by analogous
circumstances. Chicago Tribune.

It seems to be conceeded that
M. Pasteur, tbe French scientist,
has found a preventive for hydro
phobia, by which that dreaded dis
ease nviy be eradicated. His inves
tigations have uot been confined
to hydrophobia. If bis researches
into the causes of disease and for
the discovery of prevention and
remedy stopped there they would
confer but a small benefit upon
the human, race.
For all the dread of hydropho
bia, because of Its nature, it
source uod its incurability, tbe
amount of real injury iufliuted
upon man by it does not amount
to one thonsandeth part of that
done by the mildest of human dis
eases. But M. Pasteur's dlscov
eries strike bo st the root of all
diseases that, allowing that bis
theory is correct aud the applies
tionofit practicable, it Involves
far-reaching consequences. If he
is right, effort to extend tbe prin'
ciple to the deadly epidemic dis
eases have been only premature.

Samuel Clmse, a bright flaxen
haired youth of sixteen years, has
been an office boy in the employ of
Henry, L. Ilobert dealer in syrups
and rice at No. 120 Front street,
for over a year. Yesterday he was
stabbed to the heart and almost
instantly killod while skylarking
w ith one of the clerks in the store.
It was a little before 3 o'clock
when bis employer sent Chase to
tbe hank to make a deposit. Be
fore leaving the office boy stopped
to chat with Jeremiah Cunning
ham, one of tbe clerks, at a desk.
The latter was eating some candy,
when tbe office boy came along
aud asked him for some. Cun
ningham Is but a year older thau
Chase, and betweeu them a strong
friendship had always existed.
"Where are you going!" asked
Cunningham as he turned about in
bis chair.
"To the bank," answered Chase,
"Theu buy some candy while you
are out," said Cunningham mis
chievously.
Chase then picked np a ruler,
and, flourishing it about bis head,
made a playful .rush toward Cuii
ningham. In the meantime Cun
ningham. had taken a piece of
candy from his pocket aud held it
in his hand fegether with an eraser
just as Chase stumbled against a
six inch platform and fell heavily
against the clerk. In falling the
unfortunate office boy struck
against the eraser, the tiny blade
of which entered his breast and
pierced the heart. Chase fell back,
aud, putting his hands to bis eyes,
cneu out, "UU, l can't see I"
Cunningham sprang forward just
tn time to catch Chase before he
fell to the floor. The boy looked
appealingly at his companion fora
moment then closed bis eyea aud
expired. He had died in tbo
clerk's arms before the latter
could place biuiiu tbe chuir.

Prospect House Niagara Falls,
Out., November 8. It is some
time since the mighty cataract has
been the scene of such a terrilde
casualty a that which happened to
day, by which two men lost their
lives in the sight of numerous
spectators who were powerless to
render them any aid.
Twe respectable young Ger
mans, one nsuied Adam Kilger-
stein, employed by a butcher at
Niagara Falls.nud tbe other, whose
name cannot ha learned at present,
engaged a smalt rowboat this af
ternoon from Walter M in gay, at
Port Day, for the purpose of row-
iug across Niagara river to Chip
pewa. Mingay asked them if they
were fauiilliar wtih the river aud
they said no, but that another mau
who kuew the river was to accom
pany them.
However, they started out with
out the third party and rowed up
the river about half a mile, and
tbe next seen of tbera they were
making fur the Canadian shore.
Instead of rowing at angles against
the current they rowed straight
across the river, the swift current
slowly but surely drawing them
down towards the rapids. Wheu
about balf way across tbey were
not more than 200 yards from the
rapids, aud, as if seeming to realize
their perilous position, they turn
ed their boat around aud attempt
ed to return to the American
shore.
In a few moments they were
drawn into tbe rapids. They were
seen clinging to the boat until with
in a short distance of tbe brink ef
tbe terrible abyss when the boat
capsized and the unfortunate men
wero carried over the great Horse
shoe Falls.
It has since been ascertained
that the other German only came
to tbe Falls from Buffalo on Fri
day last, and was workiug for a
baker. Tbe yily uame be was
knowu by was August. The
bodies will likely be found in the
course of a few days-either in the
eddies of the river or iu the whirl
pool. One of the men was found. His
right leg was missing, the left hand
whs torn off and there was a cut
on the back of the bead. Every
bone in the unfortunate boy's
body was broken as if It had pass
ed through a mill.
Road te Success,
from as Address by Aairsw Carnofts.
To summarize what I have said :
Aim for the highest ; never enter
a bar room ; do not touch liquor,
or, if at alt, ouly at meals; never
endorse beyond your surplus cash
fund ; make the firm's interes
yours; break order always to
save owners; concentrate; put all
your eggs in one basket, aud watch
that basket; keep expenditure
always within revenue; lastly, do
not be impatient, for, as Emerson
says, "no one can cheat you out of
ultimate success but yourselves."

The Servians returned tbe fire.
Ten Bulgarians, killed or wound
ed, were left on Servian territory.
Several of the Servians were

Memphis, Nov. 17. T. E. Brown,
of DesMoins, Iowa, the largest
creditor of the old City of Mem
phis, to day compromised his claim
of (35,000 to the suti faction of
President D. P. Hadden and Ins
colleagues of the funding boards.
This virtually winds up alt the
outstanding indebtedness of the
old city of Memphis, which orig
inally amounted to about (6,500,.

mised within the past two years.
Where lolorrd People Cane 1'rem.
There are few colored people iu
tbis country, says a newspaper
writer, who know from what Afri
can tribes they sprang, and just
where their ancestors lived in the
dark continent, before they came
to America in the hold of slave
ships. By far the largest part of
our African fellow citizens came
originally from tbe dense forests
of Senegambia, Liberia, and Guin
ea, many from the low downs and
lightly timbered region of the low
er Congo, snd a much smaller
number from the half sterile sea
board ef Portuguese Angola. The
further inland station of white
slave dealers was at Boma, on the
Congo, ouly sixty fivo miles from
the ocean. The territory from
which they tilled their slave pens
extended inland only as far as
Isanglia, Stanley's second station,
one hundred and fifty miles from
the coast. The American slave
trade except in the Niger basin,
was a traffic in coast negroes.
Behind tbe mountain barriers that
divide the low-lying seaboard from
the plntcaus ot central Africa,
dwelt millions of other and very
different people whom Living
stone and his successors have
made kuowu to the world.

Starkville, Nov. I I. The unpre

most gratifying. There are 3C0
Btudents iu attendance the full
capacity of 1lie college. The
thoroughness of tbo Instruction,
coupled with the enthusiasm of
the faculty and students iu their
academic aud industrial duties,
argues a bright future for Missis
sippi. Tbo discipline is splendid,
the experimental aud other work
ou tlie farm in the way of raising
crops, pure bred and graded cat
tie, nursery, stock, vegetables and
fruit, success of creamery, will
soon give this State au educated
and progressive set of farmers
fully able to cope with the new

Over tbe State.
We are informed of a roysteri
ous hanging which took place near
the bridge across middle Fork,
about ten miles east of Fayette,
which evidently oec.it red on Mon
day night. Ou Tuesday morning,
travelers along the road just as
they got this side of tbe bridge,
were met by a ghastly sight a ne
gro mau suspended from a limb,
.who apparently bad beeu dead
some hours. A piece of paper
pinned to bis back bore these
wsrds: "Our women must be pro
tected." The victim did not be
long to tbe neighborhood in which
be was hung, and as be was nu
kuowo the supposition was that
he had beeu brought some dis
tance. His crime can he guessel
at from tbe words written on the
paper.
Since tbe above was iu type we
learn that the crime a nameless
one was uerpetrated ou a little
13 year old girl iu the Hominy
Ridge neighborhood, ou the east
ern border of the comity, and that
the uegro was iu charge of a con
stable on his way to Fayette wbeu
a baud of men took bitu from tbe
officer and hung him.

Judge Chrisman will hold the

We have reached the conclusion
on the railroad question that com.
petition is more effectual than su
pervision. Railroad compnnie
will always become self adjusting
where the former prevails, and
protracted litigation always fol
lows the latter and makes it com
paratively inoperative. Macon
Beacon.
Tbe Beacon man overlooks the
fact that railroad pools exist. Th
town of Aberdeen thought it had
competition when the I. C. Branch
reached that place, bnt wasastou
ished to find that her freight rates
were increased instead of being
diminished. The railroads could
agree upon pooling rates at com
petiug points easier than they
could compete, hence they pooled
their interests and put np th
freight. Chickasaw Messenger.
One of the actions of the present
Board of Supervisors upon which
the members may pride themselves
was the removal of tbe gate nui
baNces from across the publ
roads of this county. A more in
defensible outrage upon the rights
ef the public for the benefit of in
dividuals was never perpetrated,
or allowed to be, by law. It re
quired some pluck, however, as
well as a sense of public wrong, to
decree the removal of these, "set
fasts." Now that tbe time ap
proaches for removing these gates
from tbe highways' we understand
a petition is being circulated to
except "one road, at least,'' from
the operation of the Board's or
der. We hope the Board will hold
fast and stand by what it bas done.
Oue exception -will just be ground
for another and so on. "The gates
should go." Woodville Republican'

communication dated Lexington,
Octeber 1-ith: "By a curious co
incidence, just as our attention is
turned to Mr. Sandham's notable
painting of tbe battle of Lexington
I have received a (all tw-day from
a Scotch geutieman wbo is the
great great grand son ef Major
Pitcairu. He was greatly interest
ed in our Pitcairu pistol and oth
er relics, aud spent several hours
looking about the town. To make
the coincidence still more surpris-
ug, bis wife, wbo accompanied
him (an American lady), is a de
scendant of Joseph Tidd who lived
iutheoldTidd homestead, which
is still standing in our town, aud
whose sons, Benjamin and Johu,
were in Capt. Parker's company
on the 19th of April, 1775. It is
related ef this John Tidd that be-
ng one of the last to leave tbe
Common, be was pursued by the
British, struck dowu and robbed
of his arms. At the same time his
cousin, Lieut. William Tidd, re
treating up Hancock street, was
chased by a mounted officer (sup
posed to bo Pitcairu), wbo rried
out: 'Stop! or yon are a dead
man.' The plucky Lieutenant
sprang over a pair of burs near the
Clark House, made a stand, took
aim aud tired at his pursuer, who
dodged the shot, wheeled about
and hastened back to join his men.
That a defendant of this 'Britisher'
should after 100 years marry a de
scendant of this 'rebel,' and that
he two should come to-day with
eagerness to see for the first time
the spot where their ancestors
fought against each other, is a fact
as strauge as auythiug iu fiction,
aud fully ns suggestive, for it tells
us that tbe animosity which is
born of strife is not to be always
perpetuated. Cupid bas healed
many a wound, bnt be was more
than usually adroit when he con
trived that a Pitcairu should at
last capture a Tidd.

A Texas judge showed consider
able unwillingness to graut a man
a divorce. The judge said to the
applicant)
"Reflect for a moment that your
wife with all her faults lias her
good qualities, and that by mutual
concession you may bo able to get
along very well together."
Tbe applicant for divorce seemed
to be very much moved by what
the judge said, aud the latter be
gan to flatter himself that he bad
carried bis point. At lust the mau
said ;
"Your Honor is not married, I
believe t"
"No, I am a widower."
"Well, then, judge, suppose you
grunt me a divorce from tbis wo
man, aud then marry her yourself,
and see if you cau stand her impish
temper."
"Tbe judge begged leave re
spectfully to decline.
"Yes," responded the opplicant,
scornfully, "you are mighty kind

people, but you don't care to try a
dose of it yourself." Texas Sitt

Piles are frequently preceded by
a sense of weight on the back, loins
and lower part of the abdomen,
causing the patient to suppose he
has some eflectiou of the kidneys
or neighboring organs. At times
symptoms of indigestion arc pres
ent, flatulency, uneasiness of the
stomach, etc. A moisture, like
prespiration, producing a very dis
sgreeable itching, alter getting
warm,, is a common attendant.
Blind, bleeding and itching piles
yield at once to the application of
Dr. Bosanko's Pile Remedy, which
acts directly upon the purls affect
ed, absorbing the tumors, allaying
the intense itching, and efTcctinga
