Nearly hundred years ago, DR.. Lind suggested
to Captain Kennedy that thirst might be quenched
at sea by dipping the clothing into salt water and
putting it on without wringing. Subsequently, the
captain, on being cast away had an opportunity of
making the experiment. With great difficulty he
succeeded in persuading part of the to follow
his example, and they all survived, while the men
who refused and drank salt water, became deirious
and died. In addition to putting on the clothes,
while wet night and morning, they may me wetted
while on, two three times during the day. Capt.
X. goes on to say: After these operations we uni
formly found that the violent drought went off and
the parched tongue cured in few minutes after
bathing and washing our clothes, while we found
ourselves as much refreshed as if we had received
some actual nourishment" The bare possibility of
the truth of the statement makes it a humanity for
any paper to give it wide publicity there are
not many readers in hundred who may not 60 to

DIscussIoN.-Gov. Ellis addressed large number
of the citizens of Mecklenburg, in Charlotte, on
Tuesday last. He made a plain, argumentative
speech, which was listened to with much interest
by the respectable audience present He was warm
ly greeted by his old and numerous friends in this
section
The Governor was replied to by W. P. Bynum,
ESQ.,, opposition Elector for this District, and We
think he made better speech than either Mr.. Pool
or DR.. Speed the week before.
1t is unnecessary to allude now to the arguments
made on the dd VdlOrem question, but Mr.. Bynum
made one or two points, about which we desire to
make a remark by way Of correction, inasmuch as
Mr. Pool made the same assertion and we neglected
in our notice of his speech to- allude to it. It was
charged that Democratic papers had not published
the platform of their own party and that in order
to find it you had to refer to some Wing paper
Now, the fact is every Democratic paper in the
State not only published the Democratic platform,
but the Wing platform also, thus showing that
Democratic papers are not as exclusive as our oppo
nents profess to believe 1t was also charged that
we had denounced all the seceders from the Charles
ton Convention as disunionists, but as Mr.. Bynum
afterwards admitted that he was in error in this
statement we make no further comment, as we only
wish to let the public know it was mistake

ny-aliners are beginning TO tell of Wheatland in
whose delightful shades the sage thereof, will so
soon be baskng. Wheatland is situated upon
knoll between the Marietta and Columbia turnpikes,
and half mile from Lancaster CITY, The farm
contains but twenty acres, but the land is rich
cream, the mansion spacious and wells constructed
and as pleasure ground, located just exactly it
should be. Mr.. Buchanan bought the place as a
period when property had greatly deprecated in
value, and paid the small sum of five thousand dol
lars; but would not take ten times that sum.
The furniture remains as it did before Mr.. Buchan-
entered the White House, and the property is at
tended to by an old madam housekseeper and
gardener. Mr.. Buchanan does not intend to sell
Wheatland, as has been reported but will return
thther after his presidential term has closed where
he will quietly enjoy his Otium cnm dignitate unin-

The REsUIT.-We give all the returns from the
counties received up to the time of going to press.
Gov Ellis is reelected by about 6O00 majority, and
the Democrats have large majority in the Legisa-
ture. In the 40 counties heard from (includng the
largest Wing counties Pool makes clear gain of
1890. Braggs majority was 1884. Allowing the
opposition gain of 300 in the remaining counties
Ellis majority would be 5000.
!, We are satisfied with the result The Democracy
have overcome many obstacles and achieved another
victory. The demagogical appeals of the opposition
to the ''poor white man. have had the effect of re-
ducing the Democratic majortys but we are gratifed
to say they have not been entirely successful The

BRECKrNRIDGE AND LANE IN THE NoRTH.--The
strength of Breckenridge and Lane in the Northern
States has been under estimated from the first but
it is constantly increasing. The Hartford (Ct)
Courier SAYS:
"Well informed politicians who have expressed
their opinion say that the Breckenridge branch of
the Democratic party in Connecticut will poll three
fourths of the votes cast by the party in this
State"
The Minnesota Democrat, writing from St Paul,
says:
1.-THE nomination of Breckenridge and Lane is
gaining in favor every day. Although anticipated
much strength for them here, they are stronger
than l supposed. reaction against Douglas
and for Breckenridge and Lane has commenced,
and it is far-rcaching and widespread. 1t is my
deliberate judgment that the Breckenridge ticket
will get larger vote than the Douglas ticket in
Minnesota"
new Breckenridge paper has been started at st.
Paul. Mimi, called the North Star.
Breckinridge and Lane club has been formed
in, Bangor Maine-President, Hon. G. L. Boynton.
Sixtythrce Democrats enthusiastically signed their
names to the constitution the evening Of the
ganization. Ex-Congressman Moses Mcdonald, of
Maine; Ex-Governor W. Beach Lawrence of Rhode
Island; and Hon. William w. Eaton, of Connect
cut (late Democratic candidate for United States
Senator,) have come out for Breckenridge
The cause looks well in Wisconsin. 1t did so
from the start and there, all the North, it
is gaining adherents.
The Calumet (Wis.) Redublican says Harrison
c. Hobart, who was the Democratic candidate for
Governor in that State last fall is working with all
his influence for Breckenridge. The Madison sIourR-
al learns, by letter from the North, that Judge
Cate of the Seventh Circuit has also declared for
Breckenridge. Judge s. S. N. Fuller, of Hudson,
st. Croix county, late Judge of the Eighth Circuit
publishes letter averring his determination to sup
port 6reckinridge.
