their neighbors, their property, their viii
lage, and their descendants forever. This
is publicly and officially proclaimed
throughout the surrounding districts. and
in the suburbs of Canton itself. Bright
as the prospects look in the North, they
are dark and lowering here. If the pres
ent state of things is not speedily changed,
we shall find ourselves at war--not with
China, not with the Government ofKwang-
tung. but with the various leaders and the
rabble of the whole province with numer-
Gus disorganized lawless population, with
out head, without government. IfKwang
and his coadjutors do not speedily adopt a
peaceful policy, it twill soon be out of their
power if it is not so already, to lquell that

ated, or to control those lawless bands OF
ruffians, which it is so easy to create, but
so difficult to get rid of. The province OF
Kwang tunS is taking rapid strides to-
wards state of anarchy, which none but
Kwang and his colleagues, while they
have yet sufficient strength, can check.
The Chinese population have been lcav-
ing this colony i'll thousands. The Sunk
um composed of three Imperial officers
sent here from Pekin to carry on hostili-
ties have forced the authorities Of the va
rious districts of kwang-tung to call on
all Chinese in Hong Kong and Macao to
return to their homes, under penalty of
losing their property or that of their rela-
tives. Threats are held out Of something
indefinite being done to the foreigners of
that place; but by these no alarm has been
excited. Macao is in more danger, it be-
ing said to be threatened by body of
about three thousand pirates, and its
guards have been doubled.

Cure for Hog Cholera.

The hog cholera has been raging TO
fearful extent recently in Pike and Gibson
counties. In some instances farmers have
lost every hog. In parts Of Pike the effiu-
via arising from the vast number Of dead
hogs will, it is feared occasion much sick
ness. y gentleman in Pike has sent n
friend of ours the following recipe for the
cure of this fatal disease, which he says
he has tried in large number of cases,
and it always has proved successful The
disease has not yet appeared in this vicin-
ity, we believe, but we would advise Oar
agricultural readers to cut out the recipe
and lay it by in case it should make its
appearance:
Two table spoonsful of arsenic; two
spoonsful of sulphur; one table spoonful of
gunpowder-mixed up with one half
bushel of wheat bran, half sour. This is
enough for thirty head of hogs.

Among the thousands who met at In.

Kentucky, when he made his eIectioneer-
ing tour through the Western States in
1s40, was "old Charlie" negro who
was once the servant OF the Colonel, but
was now free and settled in Indisua.-
Charlie was now in full feather. He
took the old soldier under his protection,
installed himself as door keeper, and no
one was permitted to shake hands with his
former master, unless by Charlies intro
duction. While the crowd was Al the
door portly, pompous man came up. and.
taking the negro by the hand, said:
"How d. do. Charlie? glad to see you9"
Charlies dignity was touched by this
familiarity. and he refused to recognize
the. gentleman.
"Why used to know you." said the
man "wIlcn you belonged to Col. John

thereupon the renegade to honestly very

British Trade with Africa-Cultivation
of Cotton.

During the last ten years, Western Af-
rica has been making most rapid progress.
Trade has been striking root, aud promises
in a short time to become of immense val
tie. 1t has been demonstrated that the for
ty or fifty millions of inhabitants of that
region are an Industrious race. Some Of
them are noted for their mercantile intelli-
gcnce, enterprise and success. Instances
have been given in which native mer-
chant laid out fifty thousand dollars in the
course of a single year, in the purchase of
goods, the money having beenrcmitted be-
fore the goods were sent, while another
had spent thirty thousand dollars.
1t has been calculated that between 1880
and 1850, the increase OF the exports of
British manufactures to that part of the
coast laying between the Senegal and Por-
hundred per cent, aad since that time the
increase has peen much more rapid. Be-
tween 1850 and 1856, the total exports
from Great Britain increased forty per cent,
and during the same six years the imports
of African produce into England have in
creased sixty per cent. Palm oil, timber
of valuable kinds, ivory, gold. ground nuts
indigo, pepper, rice, coffee, sugar and a
multitude Of other articles. are only wait
ing a market, to be produced in any guam
titles The trade in palm Gil is already
valued at ten millions of dollars per an
NUN. But the most important prospect is
that Of the supply Of cotton. 1t is already
manufactured there to considerable ex-
teat. Brazil is reported to have import
cd last year a quantity of African made
cloths which it would require upwards of
seven million pounds Of cotton to produce
In 1886. SO, ,495 pounds of cotton were
sent from Abbeokuta This amount in
creased in 1851, to 30, 400 pounds; aud in
the first six months Of the present year. it
reached upwards OF 100. 900 pounds. The
whole of this has been collected, all the
labor performed. and all the responsible
ty borne. by native Africans alone.
The American portion OF the population
Of Liberia have commenced with much
spirit the cultivation Of Cotton. About
seventy acres Of land, in patches Of frorE
one to ten acres, are planted in Montserado
county. One of aparty Of enligrants be-
longing to Columbus, Georgia, sent home
lately from Liberia sample OF cotton, of
species which heads ali the time, and he
says good sea island cotton can be grown
there. Native laborsis cheap and abqnd

The value of the large and expensive

treated in this little manual, is undisputed
but there are thousands of readers who
cannot well afford to buy them. 10 meet
the wants of such is the purpose of this
compact little volume of about 110 pages.

rough in its treatment, anu reliable in its
statements. The Keeper Of a horse, COW,
pig, few sheep. or a flock of fowls, tur-
keys, geese or ducks, will find in it all
that he needs, in language that he can un-
derstand, and furnished at a price that he
can afford to pay. Even ifhc be interest

horse, for instance-he cannot fail to get
the worth of his money many times

Amusing.

To sec the LaPorte Times accounting
for the defeat in this District, as well as in
that County, by falsely charging importa-
tions on the Republicans. Let us see
At Michigan City, Judge Stuart in 1856
had Alb voteS-Walker in 1858 only 1913
votes Rather funny kind of importa-
ton, isn't it, that exports out votes of the
enemy. Walker was beaten there because
he only got three fourths as many votes as
Judge Stuart obtained So in his own
City of Laporte, he received but $50 votes,
while Stuart. ont of a smaller population,
received 739 So also in Noble township,
he received 10 votes, while Stuart had 105,
loss of 26 votes, and Colfax who had
136 votes there two years ago has now IL |,
a gain of 30 votes, showing that that nunl-
Der who had voted against him two years
ago, now voted for him. The plain truth
is LaPorte Co. has given 435 larger ma
iority against Walker than against Stuart,
because hundreds who voted fer the latter
voted against the former, as the above fig
ures prove beyond all contradiction.
When Lake Co. gave Colfax 600 ma
lofity III lou, ehV Siy was i"isCu vi III
portations." The fact is however that,
while Colfax's vote is 167 larger than in
1886, the natural increase of County
like Lake, the Democratic vote is 273 lar
ger than them Mr. Cofax's has increas-
ed from S94 to 1903, less than 20 per
cent The Democratic vote from 2s7 to
80. a suspicion increase Of nearly lOOper
cent At ST. Johns, the German Catholic
township, where the Republican vote, only
dozen, has remained stationary, the
democratic vote has increased from 90 to
lS6, Just dou6iing;; and that is on the very
border of Illinoisl But for this remark
able gain. Mr.. Colfax's majority in Lake
Co. would have just cquallcd his major

opponents is better than none. Let them

EIauds in Michigan.

Some startling discoveries have lately
been made in Michigan. The Detroit Ad-
vertiser states that it turns ont that while
the democrats had control of the State
government, they defrauded the 'Cnisersi-
ty Fund out of $25, 500, and the common
School Fund out of S7l, ,103. Besides
pocketing this S91 600 of public money,
they cheated the school Fund out of $3.50,
900, in the fraudulent sale of section of
School Land, containing valuable copper
mines.

Es- Colfax, in his speech last night,
said if Col. Mays debts were paid
he would be pauper. This substan-
tiates the charge made by Col. May
against CoIfax of having said that all
poor men are paupers. 1t proves further,
that Mr. Colfax can at one step descend
from the gentleman to the slanderer.-
Thousands. of men have been unfortunate
in their business, aud lost their fortunes,
butthis by no means makes them paupers,
Misfortune might overtake even Mr. Col
fax, when such expressions would rebound
upon him with ten fold force.-LaPorte
Times.
1t apears that the torrent Of falsehoods
is not to end, even with the election Mr.
Colfax, on the occasion referred to, BRAN
dcd Col. Nays argument that ''men who
had no money were paupers" as an insult
to poor men which they ought to throw
back into Col. Ms teeth-that if it was a
correct definition OF ''paupers," he hail
been for many years without knowing
it-that many of his audience had been
during the past year-and that Col. May
himself, if he had paid his debts, would be
a pauper, accordinq 10 his o,ca aignmenf;
a position which however Mr. c., then, as
all through the canvass, denounced as in
sulting and njust.-,South' Bend Reg.

Mail Agent Arrested for robbery.

Some days ago the stamer Emma, on
her passage from Jefferson City to St.
Joseph, Mo-, was robbed of $4,000 aud
upwards, and suspicion at first fell upon
the employees of the boat. 1t has since
turned out, however, that'thc Mail Agent,
named Morris. who had his office in the
same room with the clerk, was the real
perpetrator of the robbery. Most of the
money has been recovered. Morris has
been held to bail in $4,000.
The St. Louis Democrat thus remarks
upon the frequency of official robberies:
1t is to be regretted that so many rob-
berries have occurred of late in post
offices and on mail routes; indeed they
have become so frequent that the matter
calls for prompt investigation by the gov
crnment. Much complaint is made of the
extreme youth of some of the parties hold
lag these responsible positions. They are
selected in most cases for the reason that
they are National Democrats, or have kill
ed somebody in Kansas or elsewhere, or
have furnished fraudulent votes for the
diferents kickapoos, Oxfords, and like
precincts which are now to be found on all
election occasions. They are bad materi-
al for Honest officers, but nevertheless they
get the positions, to the dctriment of the
community and public morals.

NO. III.
THE MODERN BELLE.

The daughter sits in the parlor,
And rocks in her easy chair,
She's clad in her silks and satins,
And jewels in her hair;
She winks, and giggles, and shippers,
And simpers, and giggles, and ~inks,
And though she talks but little,
It's vastly more than she thinks.
Her father goes clad in russell,
And ragged and seedy at that;
His coats are out at the elbows,
And he wears a most shocking bad hat,
He's boarding and saving his shillings,
So carefully day by day,
While she on her beaux and poodles,
Is throwing them all away.
She lies abed in the morning,
Till nearly the hour of noon,
Then comes down swapping and snarlnS,
Because she was called 10 soon;
Her hair is still is the papers,
Her cheeks still dabbled with paint
Remains of the last nights bushes,
Before she intended to faint.
She iotes upon men unshavcn,
And men with the flowing hair;
She's eloquent over mustaches,-
lhtl give such u tOfeigh hlT,
She talks of Italian music,
And falls i'm love with the moon,
And though but a mouse should meet her,
She sinks away in Il swoon-
Her feet are so very little,
Her hands are so very white,
Her jewels so very heavy,
And her head SO very light.
Her color is made of COSMETICS
Though this she never will own,
Her boiy's made mostly of cotton.
Her hearts made wholly of stone.
She falls in love with fellow,
Who sweiis with foreign air.
He marries her for her money,
She nrarrics him for his hair;
Oae Of the very best mltches,
Both are well mated in life,
She's got fool for a husband,
He's got fool for wife.

The Indiana conference.


At the recent session Of the Indiana
Conference of the Methodist Episcopal
Church, at Mt. Vernon, report from a
committee recommending change in the
Discipline in regard to the membership of
Shareholders in the church was adopted
This Conference numbers one hundred and
twenty ministers--embracing but one
fourth Of the State-and from reports it
appears there has been an increase in the
past year of 3,507 in its lay member
ship.
Rev. j. T. Wright, of Ohio, addressed
the Conference on the subject of the Will
berforce University of Xenia, an institution
for the education Of free people of color
the establishment which was authorized
by the General Conference at its session
in this city in 1855. Mr.. Wright stated
that nearly $40, 600 had been raised for
the endowment of the institution.
a collection was taken up to defray the
expense of finishing the monument to the
memory of Bishop Roberts, which is to be
placed on the college grounds at Gleencas-
tie. The monument will cost about $500,
and is to be paid for with the contributions
of the four Indiana conferences. The
monument is now being constructed in this
city. w
The South eastern Indiana Conference
at its session at Columbus. passed the fol-
lowing resolution in regard to the pro-
posed alteration in the Discipline:
"No person shall come into the Church
who either buys, sells or holds slaves for
the purpose of using them as such.'
The resolution passed by vote of 80
ayes, Ii nays. Another solution was:
"We will laborto make non-slave hold
ing and mountaineering in slaves test of
membership" ga
This also passed by ,he same majority.
During the discussion brother of Ger
man extraction made the following speech
"Sin is Of the devil; slavery is sin, there
fore slavery is of the devil; consequently
we ought to fight it as we do the devil. :"
