A BIT OF BLUE.‘
' Uprose the sun and beckoned day,
Yet caught my eyes no kindling glow;
Across the hills the chill mists, gray
(And throu h the valleys), trailing slow
Their ghost y robs, seemed loth to go.
My heavy heart bemoaned the past—
Oh, tender faces! seen no more;
Oh, ships that sailed away so fast,
Such wondrous freight of promISe bore,
That never found again the shore!
But 10! the day, with sudden smile,
Flings wide her golden gates to view;
A little child, who knows no guilt:—
My little child—looks laughing through;
Her eyes my heaven—my bit of blue!

.-‘ THE OLD SHERIFF.
When the war came and the whole social
system was shaken to its center, Joel Harvey
was put at the head of a vigilance com-
mittee. People said he would know best
how to act and there would never be
any danger of his judgment being
swept away by passion. No higher
trust has ever been reposed in him than the
men of his neighborhood reposed when they
went away to the army, saying: “Look after
my people, Joel." He was one of the men
who showed their heroism by not going to the
army, though he had no such cruel ordeal to
go through with as Davenport had. He was
an acknowledged authority, so far as any
authority was acknowledged. and he and
. Beelzebub were to be seen at any hour of the
day, or the night either, if there was a
whisper of danger or disorder on any of the _
plantations within his reach.
It was while he was regulator that Joel
Harvey made what he calls his “narrow
escape.” It was an escape from matrimony.
He has encountered almost every sort of
peril at one and another time of his life, but
hestill declares that the Widow Mason cams
nearer vanquishing him complewa than any-
thing elso of earthly mould ever has.
: Although‘the office of sheriff was virtually
extinct for the time being he still occupied
the room in the grOund door of the court
house on whose door in gold letters on a panel
of black tin were the imposing words,
“Sheriff‘s Office.” The court room proper
was immediately over his head, but he sel-
do‘m penetrated there now. It had fallen
into the hands of the Ladies' Sewing society,
which had taken out a contract, seemingly,
to clothe the‘ entire Confederate army with
jackets and trousers and shirts made out of
all sorts Of material from brocatelle window
curtains down to bed ticking, and with a
violent departure from all the established
canons of tailoring. Box after box of these
hastily and' patriotically constructed gar-
ments Sheriff Harvey had been called upon
to ship for them. Shippln a thing in those
days was fraught with di culties and uncer-
taintlss that border on the incomprehensible
in these days. ’So whenever the sheriff was
~ requested to come up stairs to where all the
matrons and maidens of the town were sew-
ing, and Shipping, and folding, and packing,
it was a foregone conclusion that there was
another box for him to ship to the victims of 1
all this unskilled labor.
The Widow Mason was up there on one of
these occasions, not sewing, not cutting, nor
folding, ncr‘packing, simply crying quietly
in one corner and pouring her woes out into
the ears of the only woman who seemed to
have time to listen to her. This was Mrs.
Judge Baker, but she, too, turned a deaf car
on the little woman when Sheriff Harvey’s
head loomed above the chattering crowd and
. hurried-forward to give him minute instruc-
tions about the shipping of the box to the
Redfleld Rifla in Richmond. Mrs. Baker was
the president of the society.
“Poor child,” she said, nodding her head
backwards' toward the Widow Mason, “she’s
in a packer. So afraid the cotton bumsrs
will find her cotton that‘s hidden out in the
woods. She says she made Dempsy, her
driver, mad this morning, refused to'let him
have coflee three times a day, I believe, and
he helped hide the cotton, and she is sure he
will tell. He threatened toshow itto them
the next time they visit the neighborhood."
,Joel Harvey made no comment, but that
night a skiff shot across the river at a point
considered quite safe from molestation from
the gunboat, and lying in the bottom of it
wasarnan with his hands tied behind him
and a bandage over his eyes. He was untied.
and turned loose in the woods on the Opposite
side and advised to go to Vicksburg without
delay. The next day Joel Harvey drove out
to the Widow Mason‘s sitting on the front of
a wagon. There were two men with him.
They had come to move the Widow Mason’s
potion to another spot in the dense forests
that surround her place, so' that in case
Dempsy concluded to return instead of going
to Vicksburg, as he had been advised, his in-
formatidn to the cotton burners would be
worthlms. ,
The Widow Mason would gladly have re-
warded the handsome sherifl for his seal in
her behalf by marrying him. Widows have
a. way of making their intentions palpable
without detracting from their fascination:
Old Harvey. is of the opinion today that if
the marine brigade had not raided the town
just about‘that time and carried him Off a
prisoner, Mrs. Mason would have been Mrs.
Harvey and he would have been nobody. He
considers that the brigade was an instrument
ill the hands of Providence for that occasion
only. They really did not want him, but, to
quote old Harvey himself once more, “they
had gotten so used to picking up valuables
wherever they landed, that, having exhausted
the other movahlos, they took him, meaning
to return and get the court house next time.”
But having taken him, arid really not know-
ing what to do with him, they forwarded him
from hand to hand until he found himself at
Alton risen. There were a lot of fellows
there t at he knew, men who had been 'cap-
tured as scouts on the battlefield, men who
had been picked up by the wayside, sick and
worn. They were hungry and gaunt, and
woe worn and heart sick. Harvey says he
hung his head before them for very shame,
because he was neither hungry, nor gaunt,
nOr heart sick, nor woe worn. But he did
. the only thing he could do for them, sold his
gold watch and aided materially to their
comfort
He never suffered much from that mys-
terious malady called heart sickness. Old
Harvey has. always been an optimist. When
the war first broke out, though he was not an
original secessionists. he held himself in readi-
ness to do whatever should be amlgned him
to do. He was quite sure it was, all for the
best. The conflict was irrepressible, arid be
rather rejoiced to think that it would be over
and done with during the years when ' he
could lend most, practical service He was a
fatalist in his Way, and the fatalist has an
inward source of serenity that stands him in
good stead in disjointing timm. When Vicks-
burg fell, of course Harvey was not glad of l ‘,'
but it was really merely a question Of time
when it must surrender, and just think of
of the numberless precious lives saved by the
cessation of hostilities. When women com-
plained in his presence (and there were so few
available men 'to whom they could complain '
in those days ,that the regulator had to heal- a
good many walls) of the numberless hard-
ships the war had entailed, he aroused them
to a very ambitious pitch by his absolute ro-
joicing over the fact that now the resources
of the south must be developed. and this war
was goingtoprove in the long end a great
blessingtothem all. It made not the least
difference that the majority of his cheerful
prophecies came to naught. They had .1 good
. effect for the time, and Mrs. Judge Baker
‘ declared if it‘had not been for IInr-vcy's re<
mainiug at home during the war the women
would all either have gone mad or died of the
blues. Old Harvey can never be brought to
see himself in the light of a benefactor, past
or present. He considers his war record some-
thirlg to he very much ashamed of, and says
his special reason for rejoicing ill his old
bachelorhood is because he will never be
called on to define his position during that
great crisis to any child Of his for his own con-
fusion. .
Some few of the men, but none of the
women. in the county know what is old Har-
vey‘s especial claim to the almost reverential
consideration shown him by the older men.
When he was regulator he had a way of
finding out things that pascal ordinary pene-
tration. ,It was at the time when the fewest
number of white men were left ill the county,
and the greatest degree of dissatisfaction was
rife among the bewildered creatures who had
been thrown upon their own resources with a
frightful suddennass, that dark whispers of
diabolical plans for securing to themselves to
homes alld p6messions of the men who were
absent fighting to retain them in' slavery,
came to the regulator’s ears. One by one the
ringleaders of the plot disappeared with an
awfulnoss, and a suddelmess, and a complete-
ness that filled the minds of their followers
with superstitious terror. The most perfect
good feeling was soon restored between the
races, and the whispers died away. When
somebody asked him confidentially after the
war (for this episode still remains something
of a secret) how he managed about “them” ,
while he was a prisoner, he told him Wailes
helped him. » Wailes is as black as ebony.
The sheriff bought him, a runaway, from a
harsh master',_and made him his own body
servant. Wailes alone knew of the subter-
ranean prison under the court house, where
the three ringleaders against the peace of the
country were’ihcarcerated during one year
, of the war. It was to him the sheriff relin-
quished the key, and. upon him devolved the
mreo'f'thcm'when the’brlgade carried Har-
vey Ofl'. “I knew I could trust Wailcs," he
always says, but‘ he does not like much to
talk about it; Wailesjhr ills devoted slave to
this day; and be and old Harvey alone know
that the sleok'looklug porter in Davenport’s
store is one of his incarcerated conspirators,.
the jolly, well paid engineer on the Willow
Mason‘b gin hohso another, and the janitor of
the new law offices of which the town is so
justly proud it"thlrd. Old Harvey has been
mainly instrumental ill securing them these
.Zwtjtions, am! they all three adore him.
I" No, old Harvey has nothing especial to be
proud of. ‘Ho'is very poor nbw.’ lie is too
old to lloldofllce, even if Ire could be elm-led
.to_it, and he has led the ver lest grusslmppvl’s
life so far as looking ou’t'"i'or" number- One
goes; but he does not seem to be much more
concerned about number one now than he did
in the days when he and Beelzobub‘ regulated
the country, nor will he ever be. Grass-
hoppers will be grasshoppers.
He is “Old Harvey” now to all the men and
boys of his locality, “irrespective of age,
color or previous condition.” Some of the
colored people who were young slaves
when he was sheriff -of the county be-
fore the war, and upon whose minds
the awe inspiring dignity of that oillcf
made such an indelible impremlon that no one
who has once held it can ever again be quits
like other folks, still dofl their hats deferen-
tially to “Boss Harvey,” while the women of
the county invariably speak of him as “poor
old Mr. Harvey;" but this last is prolix and
manifestly inconvenient for colloquial pur-
poses, so that when strangers, taking im-
mediate note Of one of the most striking ob-
jects in the town, make inquiry concerning
it, theyare informed concisely that “that's
old Harvey.” But as everybody likes him—
the-older people/because they remember what
he was and what he has been in the neighbor-
hood, and the younger people because they
have beenrearedwith a sort of traditional
regard for old Harvey—the term comes from
the mostcareless lips divested of all harsh-
ness or contempt, with rather a caressing
sound. in point Of fact—“Dixie" in New
York Evening Post.
An Optician's Ingenuity.
This is the age of deception, as the people
have become so highly educated that they be-
lieve art can provide a remedy for any defect
or imperfection. Mechanical limbs are so
common as to attract no attention, but when
you come to the eye you will find the refine-
ment of genius manifested, as each individual
case becomesastudy until the Optician de-,
visas something peculiarly adapted to the
case. I know a case where a handsome
young lady was spared disfigurementas the
sequel to the bungling of a surgeon, and no
one knows the deception except the lady's
husband. She was treated for a small tumor,
which increased until the eye badtobere—
moved. The operation was poorly performed,
and through the neglect of antiseptic treat- .
meat a horrible sore developed in the socket. .
This was subsequently treated by the most
skillful physician to avoid the danger of
sympathetic opthalmia, but they could not
induce a growth of flesh. -" _
In despair the patient inquired if there was
no way to at least conceal the horrible sight,
which was so repulsive that her most inti-
mate friends shrank from her. After along
time spent in studying the ease I hit on .the
very thing, and the accidental idea has
proved a blessin . The lady was supplied
with a pair of go d rimmed spectacles with
side lights. In front of the ulcerated socket
was an artificial pupil, colored like the nat-
ural eye, and attached to the edge of the
spectacle frame, in a small slide that would
admit of a lateral motion, and also enable it
toberemoved for cleaning. The combina-
tion was then framed in a flesh colored
painting representing the eyelids with droop-
ing lashes. This would not suéceed in pass-
ing muster were it not for the side lights, »
which shut off the view behind the lenses, but
the invention is a success, and there is not
one in 10,000 who would suspect anything,
even after close observation.—William Suttia
in Globe-Democrat.
DONNING THE UNIFORM.
PROMOTION FROM P‘ROBATIONARY
TO REGULAR PATROLMEN.
On His Boat He is a Decided Sensation.
Gets Used to It at Length—Reprlmand-
ed—Golng Before the Hoard—0n Pay
Day. "'
Hitherto he has worn citizen’s clothes, and
his star on his breast looks like the lost Pleiad.
Now he dons the regulation uniform, and his
star is in its natural place, resplendent in its
own azure, with silver buttons that keep it
company. Now, indeed, is he a policeman.
He is given a beat of his own, and he bids
farewell to the old times, hoping he’ll soon
hear of his promotion to the sergeantcy.~
What a guying he gets when he first shows
up around home in his uniform, and how red
he gets when they sing after him: “Are ye
there, More-ri-ar-istee?" Don’t his wife think
he’s just the handsomest fellOw out, and his
children, if he has any, don’t they hide under
the bed from him, as they have been in the
habit of doing from the regular man on" the
beat? He gets used to it all—the strange
hours, the odd arrangement for getting his
meals—and the one thing he realizes above all
others is that he don’t have to pay car fare on
most roads. .On his boat he is a sensation.
The small boys flee at his approach and rack
their brains in dark cellars or old woodsheds
to find some nickname for him indicative of
his appearance, which, having agreed on,
they assaii him with from every corner. He
gives them chase, and soon their respective
mothers come together and declare him all
that’s vile for frightening their children.
They vow and declare they’ll “have his star
before he‘s on the force a week,” which in
their minds is equivalent to having his scalp
or his life. He knows the ordinances and he
enforces them. Women are reprimanded for
sweeping garbage into alleys, small boys ar-
rested for playing ball in vacant lots or build-
ing fires. The comer loafers try to bluff him
and he clubs them.
Finally, adhering strictly to his duty, he
gets into trouble as deep as by not attending
to it and he is reprimanded. He moves more
guardedly and still he is misunderstood. He
has to exercise all his ingenuity to keep out of
quarrels. He is prone to chase shadowy fig-
ures through dark alleys and fire vast quan-
tities of cartridges without hitting anything,
but bringing down the Irlaledlctlons' of the
people on his head. They declare there ain't
any burglars; that the policeman’s drunk and
shoots at imaginary individuals like a man
with delirium tremens. Time passes on and
he gets thoroughly up in his duties, and
eventually manages to shake up a nodding
acquaintance with the residents, who treat
him as if to say: "Well, he’s here, and: we
can’t get rid of him.” Finally he finds him-
self the scandal bearer of the neighborhood,
. and ill more hot water. If there’s a fine look-
ing servant girl on his beat he cultivates her
. in a mild way, and learns soon after that she
is the only champion he's got, and he's thank-
ful therefor. She’s inclinedto let him into
Ltlre kitchen ill cold weather to warm himself,
which is kind Of her, and he feels so good to
her that when he gets acquainted with" her
regular “company" he’ll take asocial drink
with him. 30f course, given a single police-
man, the reiations between him and said
“company" are strained. There are the
dreary rounds of duty all the same, and
finally Ire forgets or overlooks sonlethiugland-
- he‘s found out and brought before the bofard.

She imagines the board has power to send

mostnicclded attractions for each other. ‘But
she 'ChOCI's up.
“Well, never mind; it’ll be all right. The
sergeant is a mean old thing. I never did
likca little eyed man,” and she proceeds to
cheer him up in the way only a woman can.
He goes tobed that night. He wakes up
next morning and his wife remarks that he
slept horribly all night, and just raVcd 'aud ‘
mumbled. No "wonder! He dreamed that
the sergeant cut his head Off and that he
picked it up himself 'and carried it under his
arm into the board room and laid it on the
floor, and the commissioners played a game
of football with it. . ’
The day of trial comes. It’s notso terri-
ble, after all, and he’s only cautioned. Home
he goes, his face as shining as his star, and
finds out that he was foolishto worry,’and
his wife had told him just how it would end.
Back again to his boat and the dismal
round again. In summer he melts and in
winter he freezes. He gets wet by the rain

He is lonesome at "night and he‘d like to be
home. Every one knows how cheerlessgand
bleak his life must be on winter nights. 3 He
picks up freezing druukards who abuse and
even try to kill him, and must walk benulubed
till daylight and breakfast time. At any
time a struggle with burglars, or thieves, or
footpads may conro upon him. A burglary
on his beat means a bitter reprimand. He
must be at fires, must see that order is kept
at parties and must attend to a thousand
things the public 'now nothing of whatever.

FACTS AND FIGURES
CONCERNING~ THE ENORMOUS
COME OF LONDON PAPERS.
IN-
Some Pecullru-ltlca of the Management
of London's Grout Illankat Shoots-Jug
Advertising—Luck of
Receipts from
Enterprise in News Gathering.
The London newspaper field is a most pros-
perous one. Londonisao large and so rich
that the newspapers published here have
great resources at their command. Lon-
.don is so broad and is madeup of somany
different localities that the prominent busi-
ness people are absolutely driven to advertise
themselves ill the newspapers if they wish to
make themselves known and not become lost
in the crowd. The result is that all the
prominent papers are loaded down with ad-
vertisements. In almost all of the cities of
the United States some one newspaper has
themrnopoly of publishing the small adver-
tisements, such as “wants” and the‘ like.
Here nearly all of the morning papers have
their share of this paying class of business.
The morning newspapers of London are great
blanket sheets, clumsy ill size and awkward
tohandlc. The greater~part of this space
is given up to advertisements and editorials.
Nervs occupies a subordinate place.
The collection of news is a most expensive
item of outh in the" accounts of American
newspaper management. The subordination
of news in the_Loudon papers makes them
cost very much less to produce than papers
occupying;r corresponding positions in the
United States. Their telegraph bills are
small and they have but few reporters.
The Daily Telegraph, The Daily News and
The Daily Standard are eight page newspa-
pers, with eight coluurns on each page. This
morning’s Telegraph, which is a fair average
edition, has thirty-seven 'of its sixty-four
columns given up to advertisements; six
more of its columns are devoted to the
money market and shipping intelligence;
three columns to‘ parliament, four and a
half columns to editorial articles of the reg-
ulation length, leaving less than fourteen
columns for news. The Times is a six column
paper, but it prints so many supplements
that it publishesas arule more matter than
' anyother one of the London morning papers.
run LARGEST INCOME,
The paper having the largest income in
LondOn is The Daily Telegraph. This paper
Is owned by Levy, Sr., and Lawson and Law-
son, Jr. The Dally-Telegraph is by far the
richest paper in London: indeed, I do not be-
lieve there is any newspaper in the world
which has so large a net income. I have
asked a n , ber of men whose business is
closely connected with as per publishing
concerning the income of "The Daily Tele-
graph. Those who are familiar with the ad-
vertising rates of The Telegraph and who
know the figures of its circulation say that
the net income of The Daily Tele-
grliph reaches the enormous sum of
£800,000 per annum, or $1,500,000. This
paper is said by all financial authorities
to have a reserveof 0,000,0000f pounds in-
vested producing an income which can be
used at any time for any extra expenditure,
liken great war or a fight against compe-
tition from any new nempaper enterprise.
Its circulation is in the neighborhood of
$80,000; that is its avarage. Although it is a
Conservative paper, it comes closer to the
people of London than any other newspaper
published here. It has almost no circulation
in the rural districts. Its greatest circulation
is almost entirely confined to the city of Lon-
don itself.
The Times newspa r has aclrculation now
of something less t an 60,011). This paper
will have tocome down in its price, as its
circulation has fallep of! considerably the last
few years. Its income is about half that of
The Telegraph, namely, £150,000. A large
partof this income is from its advertising.
It hasalarger amount of advertising than
any other London paper. It is the highest
priced newspaper published today in the
world, The threepence charged for it cor-
responds to six cents of American money.
The Times in the rural districts is rented out.
It is often taken by three people who divide
its expenditure and its cost. In this way its
readers are brought up to over 100,000.
Tm CIRCULATION.
The Standard has a circulation in the
neighborhood of 900,000, and. in income is
about £150.00). The circulation of The Daily
News is placed at 100,000, and its income at
£100,000. These are the most profitable
papers in London. The Chronicle, which is a
later newspaper in point of establishment, is
published by the owner of Lloyd’s Weekly. -’
Lloyd’s Weekly clears for its owner from
£00,000 to £70,000 a year, and it is estimated
that ’i‘hthr-onlcle brings his income up to
about £100,000. The Graphic and The Illus- '
trated LOndon News are very prosperous
newspapers They bring in to their publish-
ers a net income of £100,000 a. year. There
are a great many trades papers published in
London; all of them make comfortable in-
comes: The evening newspapers are not so
prosperous as the morning papers. The
Globe has the lar est income, which is esti-
mated at £50,000, 1: none of the other even-
ing papers have any income which can at all
compare with those of the morning papers.
It isaremarkablo fact that in this rich
field. where prosperity follows almost every
form of newspaper publication, there should
be less enterprise in news collecting than in
any one of the minor cities in the United
States. Few of the morning papers receive
dispatches after 11 o’clock at night, and it is
véry rare that they make special efforts to
get news outside of their regular routine
sources. - The result is there is great sameness
in all the papers. The essential difference
between them is found only in their editorial
pages. The Morning Post, which I. have
omitted from the list of morning papers, is
very rich. It prints no special news; it is
made up entirely of the routine press dis~
patches, the paragraphs from Court Circular
and social paragraphs. These latter para-
graphs are paid for where a person is not of
sufficient prominence to secure a free notice.
The rate is seventy-five 'guineas per column
for this class of matter. The income of this
paper is about $100M». Its editor is Sir Al-- ~
gcrnon Bothwick. He isa member of parlia-
ment and a thick and thin supporter of roy-
alty. ' He has recently been rewarded with a
title. lie is a popular man and prominent in
all the clubs—T. C. Crawford ilr New York

THE WICKED ARMY MULE.
Bunnie Bill Gives a Bit of His Experi-
ence as a Dispatch Carrier.
I started once more on the road fOr Fort
Larned, and proceeded without interruption
to Coon creek, thirty miles from Fort
Dodge.
.lIer-eldismounted sudled my male to a
pool to give him some water. I also stood
myself a drink, using my hat for a dipper,
and while engaged in procuring this refresh-
ment my male suddenly jerked of! and ram-
bled away down to the creek. Then it flashed
across my mind that in the hurry of depart-
ure I had omitted to make my lariat fast to
him and that he was at large. .
I followed him gently, in the hopes of go
ting hold of his bridle, and that he would
perchance stop. He did not. He made
straight for the wagon road, but instead of
making for Fort Dodge, as I expected he
would, he turned toward Fort Larned and
jogged merrily along with a most happy and
unconcerned air. Several times I succeeded
in getting" just up to him when he would put '
on a spurt and go ahead easy, slacking down
as soon as I gave up chase. I was' sorely
tempted to shoot him with my gun, which I
fortunately held in my hand, but the report
would have probably brought the Indians
down on me, and as he was besides company
fer the, I restrained. And thus the male
marched on and I followed on foot cursing.
From Coon creek to Fort Larned is thirty-
five miles, and we—that is, the mule and-my-
self—made pretty good time. There was
nothing to hold the mule, and I was striving
hard to catch him, which urged him on. In
addition to the excitement of this pedestrian
competition I had the knowledge that I might
at any moment he pounced on by Indians
and have my hair lifted.
The mule stuck to the road and I stuck to
the mule. Just as day began to break we
found ourselves still in the same order of pro-
cession on a hill looking down on to the valley
of Pawnee fork, with Fort Larned looming
up in the distance, and as I surveyed the
scene, and the male surveyed me, the morn-
ing gun belched forth half a mile away.
We took stock of eabh other with expres-
sions of mutual distrust. Then, addressing
my opposite neighbor. I spoke. .
“Time's up," I said, “and it's my turn.
am deeply indebted to you for our company,
but we must part." Then I ra my gun to
my shoulder and biased away, hitting the
beast on the hip. Inserting a second cart-
ridge I fired into him again, and twice more,
until at last he lay stretched out nice and
comfortable. Like all government mules, he
was a tough one, and died hard.
My shots brought out the troops, and when
they learned what had happened they all'said
it served him right. I then walked into
headquarters and delivered my dispatches,
and received the compliments‘of the general.

Colombian Aborigines.
A society has been formed in Bogota for
the purpose of defending and looking after
the interests arld rights of the “aborigines.”
The word is similar in Spanish and English in ,
its manner of spelliugjand in the actual sense
it conveys. ’l‘ho “aborigines" referred to are
the oldest stock ill thls part Of the world, and
their language, though limited ill words, ex-
presses everything they require or use in
their primeval wildernesses. The districts in
which they I'm- are but little known; occa-
siouull y they are pierced by explorers or mis-
siOnaries or more vouturesoma traders, but,
as a. rule, the world knows little of thorn.
The canal, however, is destined to bring those
regions Inoro prominently to the world’s
notice—Panama Star and Herald.
VITIATED BLOOD
SCROFULOUS, INHERITED AND
CONTAGIOUS HUMORS CURED
' BY'CUTICURA.
THROUGH the medlumof one of your books
received through Mr. Frank T. Wray. Drug-
gist, Apollo, I‘a., I became acquainted with your
, CurlcuuA ltunlcblss, and take this opportunity to
.testify to you that their use has permanently cured
me of one of the worst cases of blood poisoning,
in connection with erysipelas,that I have ever seen
and this after having been pronounced incurable
by some of the best hysleians in our country. I
take great pleasure a forwarding to you this testi-
monial, unsolicited as it Is by you, in order that
others suffering from similar maladies may be en-
couraged to give your Cutlcura Remedies a trial.

sonorumus ULCERS.
James E. Richardson, Custom llouac, New Or-
leans, on oath says: “In 1870 Scrofulous Ulcers
broke out on my body until I was a mass of cor-
ruption. Everything known to the medical faculty
was tried in vain. I became a mere wreck. At
times could not lift my hands to my head; could
not turn in bed ; was in constant pain and looked
upon life as a curse. No relief or cure in ten
years. In 1880 I heard of the Cutlcura Remedies,
used them and was perfectly cured.

ONE 01" TIIE WORST CASES.
We have been selling your Cuticura Remedies
for years, and have the first complaint yet to re-
ceive from a purchaser. One of the worst cases of
Scrofula I ever saw was cured by the use of five
bottles of Cuticura Resolvent, Cuticurn and Cutl-
cura Soup. The soap takes the "cake” here as a
medicinal soup. TAYLOR & TAYLOR,

Civilisation of the Chinese.
Of course we decline to admit all the ad.
vantages of your boasted civilization; or that
the white race is the only civilized one. Its
civilization is borrowed, adapted and shaped
from our older form.
China has a national history of at least 4,-
000 years, and had a printed history 3,500 years
before a European discovered the art of type
printing. In the course of our national exist-
ence our race has passed, like others. through
mythology, superstition, witchcraft, estab-
lished religion to philosophical religion. We
have been “blast” with at least half a dozen
ruligions more than any other nation. None
of them were rational enough to become the
abiding faith of an intelligent people; but
' when we began to reason we succeeded in
making society better and its government
more protective, and our great reasoner,
Confucius, reduced our various social and
religious ideas into book form and so perpet-
uated them.
Call us heathen if you will, the Chinese are
still superior in social administration and
social order. Among 400,000,000 of Chinese
there are fewer murders and robberies in a
year than there are in New York state.
True, China supports a luxurious monarch-
whose every whim must be gratified; yet,
withal, its peoplem-e the most liglrtl y taxed in
the world, having nothing to pay but from
tilled soil, rice and salt; had yet she has not
a single dollar of national debt.
Such implicit confidence have we Chinese
in our heathen politicians that we leave the
matter of jurisprudence entirely in their
hands; and they are able to devise the best
iblo laws for the preservation of life,
preperty and happiness, without Christian
demagogism, or by the cruel persecution of
one classto promote the selfish interests of
another; and we are so far heathenish as to
no longer persecute men simply on account
of race, color or previous condition of servi-
tude, hut treat them all according to their
individual worth.
Though we may differ from the Christian
in a co, manners and general ideas of
civilization, we do not organize into cowardly
mobs under the guise of social or political rev
form, to plunder and murder with impunity;
and we are so far advanced in our heathen-
ism asto no longer tolerate popular feeling
or religious prejudice to defeat justice or
cause injustice—Wong Chin Foo in New
York Tribune.
With Tipping Banished.
The agitation against tipping would be a
good thing for the colored man, if it should
be successful. With tipping banished, the
negro would have a better chance of getting
work. As’ it is now, in cases where every-
thing else is equal, the white man will be
chosen simply because of the negro's thirst
for tips. A man who lives that way will not
treat patrons right. He gets partial, and
thus often drives away trade. Colored men
are universally so eager for tips that a patron
feels constrained to tip him for services for
which he would not dream of facing a white
man. In this respect the colored man is his
own worst enemy. He may seem to make
hisincome greater, but ill reality he is cheap-
ouing his work- and making his services less
desirable to those bosses who do riot wish
their customers to feel in any way obligated
to pay the servant—Head Waiter in Globe-
Democrat. .
A baujourine is an instrument designed for
lady players mid several actresses will use it
