JOHN BROWN'S SCAT FOIiT).
The Gallows Tliat Kiiablctl tho Houl
of Ossawatomie to Go 3Iar liing on.
From the Wheeling Intolli.ironccr.
The historic scaffold upon which
John Brown mot his death Decem
ber 10, 1850, and Avhiolr was mys
teriously spirited away soon after
the execution, lias just hoon dis
covered at Chnrlestown, Jefferson
county, in a somewhat singular place.
About three months ago Colonel
John M. Coyle bought from a widow
the brick residence standing on the
corner of Lawrence and Liberty
streets, Charlestown, and last week,
while making needed repairs, tore j
away an old porch in the rear of the j
building. Noticing that each board
and timber bore a peculiar mark and
number lie made an investigation,
and to his surprise found that when
laced together in proper order the
timbers formed a complete scaffold.
Subsequent developments have
proved beyond a doubt that the
scaffold is the original upon which
John Brown suffered, and the ven
erable relic lias been carefully stored
away under lock and key until it
can be set in some secure and appro
priate place.
The discovery created no little
excitement among the citizens of
the town and county in which the
execution took place.

Japan's Model Postal System.
A Ye commend the following (which
we clip from a KabeJ,apan, letter to
the Philadelphia Press,) to the
prayerful consideration of the pos
tal authorities of Florida.
The postal system of Japan is
always pointed at as a model in its
wav one of the foremost depart
ments of the Europeanized govern
ment. And, indeed, it must in all
fairness be acknowledged that much
credit belongs to Japan for swift
ness in the despatch of mails, while
fettered with a lack of railroads.
In the. first place every train carries
mail, and in Japan, be it known, the
imperial railroads run through pass
enger trains every two hours, and
on the Yokohama railroad nearly
every hour. Thus, while in Amer
ica three mails each way daily M ould
be esteemed the climax of facilities,
the minium between the various
cities inJapau is about ten mails each
way daily. This applies merely to
the railroads, of course.
The delivery of mails is also very
paompt, and takea place a good many
times aday. A person may mail a
letter in Yokahama for Tukiyo, one
hour's ride to the north, as late as
dusk, and yet receive an answer the
same night, providing his friend is
prompt. AY'hile in A'okahoma I
took occasion to mail a letter in a
post-box as late as 0 o'clock one eve
ning, at a point fully a mile from
the postofKce. It was soon collected,
delivered to the one to whom it was
:addressed over on the bluffs, and the
same evening I received a call from
3 he recipient.
Ajti effort is made in the case of
foreigners to deliver their mail to
them promptly. So anxious are the
authorities to deliver mail that one
of the missionary ladies in Kobe
says w lien last summer she went up
among the mountains, six miles dis
tant, a spocial man was despatched
from the office here, really against
her wishes, who came all the way
on foot, and "was not content until
he had hunted her up and delivered
her mail.

The hurtling of jhe ehemieal
works of Powers & Weightman in
Philadelphia, last Thursday, caused
a loss of oyer l,ooo,000, As this
was the largest quinine factory in
the country the cutting off of such
a source of supply will he widely
felt. In one day the price of qui
nine jumped from -'l.i'5 to 1. Co.
The trade will now depend on the
foreign brands. The stocks now on
hand in this country are larije anion;
retailers and jobbers. In the north
dru jurists buy larire cans of quinine
and sell it in powders, pills and so
lutions. In the southwest whore
there is much malaria the tlru'ist
commonly buys 100 one ounce cans
at an order. Ho retails the cans.
The quinine can is as familiar a sun
in the family cupbord as pi ult to
baoo is in the family pocket.

The remains of Ah Sam, the Chi

hav'uifj boon brought some 15,000
miles from the mouth of the Lena
river to New York, are now to be
sent home to China, some 13,000
miles further. The whole distance
that will have been traveled bv the

An Unadulterated Natural Guano, imported direct into Savan-
all political factions with honesty of
purpose, and the intention to con
serve the interests of the public.
Believing, however, as it does, that
the Democratic party, as organized
in our State and throughout the
South, represents the virtue and
intelligence of the people, it will
strive to advance its success by
all honorable means. It will attempt
in addition to point out any abuse of
official power, and will strike ever at
corruption and dishonesty in the
management of public affairs.
THE YEAR 1884
is a campaign year; a president is to
be chosen to succeed the present re
publican incumbent, a great struggle
decided on the principles which are
to guide our national policy for at
least four years. Towards the set
tlement of questions so vital the
News will give its best efforts to
influence public opinion in the direc
tion it deems best for the inter
ests of a majority of our people. To
do this more effectually the editors
will, at an early day, begin the publi
cation of

fixed at the low rate of One Dollar per
annum, we hope to be able to intro
