ANOTHER E0PE VANISHED.

Part Of the passive programme

is more, declared emphaticalIy in con
versstion with prominent politicians

lie prefers bis seat ia tie Senate; be-
sides the people be thinks are not ready
for change. The Senator claims that
Grants defeat would cause reaction
in the South, making worse condition
Of af4irs there than at present exists.
What the Democracy will do about
ii" so Ear as their action in the next
Presidential canvass is concerned, re-
mains to be seen, and We elieva that
at present no one is capable of judging
as to the course they intend to pursue.
That no conservative Republican will
consent to lead their forlorn hope 10
the next campaign is quite certain, and
this being the case, the Democracy can
not adopt the passive policy, al
though many Of tie leaders are now
strongly advocating it.

TAX CERTIFICATES Judge Stew
art, Of the Ninth Judicial District,
decided that tax certificate on which
Tn ted >tates Revenue stamp Of FIVE
cents was placed, is Illegal ssd void.
1t has been the custom in nearly ali Of
the counties in this State to put on a
stamp of this amount, and IN many to
put on no stamp. This question is to
go before the Supreme Court Of the
State fer a decision, aud if the position
of Judge Stewart is sustained, most of
the tax deeds since 1862, obtained no
such certificates, must be worthless,
We understand that Judge Lyon, Of
the First Judicial District, sustains the
decision made by Judge Stewart This
matter is of great importance, and the
action Of the Supreme Court will be
looked for with an unusual degree Of IN

AFTER TwENrr,srx YEARS SEpARA-

AFTER TwENTY-sIx YEARS SEPARA-
TON.-An Iowa paper, the Mount Pleas
ant journal, has this account of ros
nance: Twenty six years ago, the
beautiful city of Salem, as now, was peo-
pied with some of the best families in
Iowa. Here resided the family of James
McWhoIter, and James and his wife
lived happy. After while there came
the news of gold discoveries in California,
and stories how men could find fortunes.
James hearing these stories decided to
bid his wife adieu, for short time, fill
his pockets with the glittering metal, and
then return to his Rebecca. The fare
well was said, and wife and husband
parted. McWhorter went to Califor
The letters came and went as fast as
Uncle Sans carriers could take them. -
As the novel writers say, "time wore on
apace )" the weeks walked off into
months, and the months galloped into
years, and as the story comes to us, JAS.
McWhorter and his wife were separated
by the willful and malicious lying and
misrepresentation of evil doers. Word
was sent back to the wife that her hus-
band was the husband of another. Let
ters ceased to 60 to and from the sepa-
ration became apparently permanent, and
wound up with a divorce. Mrs. Nc
Whorter in time became Mrs. Abbott,
and, after time, her husband died, leav-
ing her a widow. Some two years ago
a gentleman came from California, direct
from the place where Mr.. New horter
resided, and he denied all the reports that
had been circulated concerning that gen.
tleman, reporting him to be an honorable
and upright man, doing well and prosper
ing in worldly matters. After his return
TO California, a reconciliation ~as com=
menced-letters bearing words of love
again went on their errands to and fro,
and on last Friday James McWhorter
and Rebecca Abbott were again joined in
the holy bonds of wedlock. This is tho
story as it came to US.

he said, ''my monkey p We assented.
s'Well, listen. Christmas week somebody
gave my little girl one of those fearful
toys called jack-in>a-box. 1t was an
awful thing fully two feet high. The
monkey saw it. When the child went

From his terror l thought his curiosity
had been well punished. We were mis-

poor little fellow was very bad-so weak
he could not crawl to where the box was.
In order to revive him we sprang it for

little, though he was just as frightened as

Caught 10y the Fiannes.

Great fires have been raging lately in
the forests in Sullivan, Ulster and Della
ware counties, New York. The wood
lands IN the remote sections of the Shan
daken Mountains were discovered to be in
flames on May Is. The underbrush, dry
as finder, was like train of gunpowder.
and the flames spread with extraordinary
rapidity. The following homespun des-
crlption is from the lips of an eyewitness
"You see, we were huntin' for bars,
which you know get off TO just such
places, whar there aint nobody nor nuth-
In TO be a bother'n on 'em. When we
found track, and were a follern' ont up,
Jim says TO me, Bob, something's burns
ing We hadn't tramped much further
before the smoke came pretty thick-in
puts. like. There wasn't breath of air.
All at once there came a cloud of smoke,
like blanket. 1t came right down and
made the woods as dark as sunset, though
1t was only about 9 o'clock. Then came
a shower OF cinders. We got choked and
blinded. Some of the cinders~ came on
our necks like SO many needles stickin'
into US We were nigh to the top of the
! hills, and in minute or SO the smoke and
cInders shifted another way, so we could
see bit. There never was such a sight.
All about US, except one streak in along
the east'rd was in blaze. We were
both as black as Congo niggers. 1t was
like the Atlantic Ocean chock full of ker-
ocene and pinewood, all afire at once
Well, on the top of this mountain, bit
OFT below us, was a hollow, with steep
rocks all around it. There was a spring
and brook there, and green grass. In
| that hollow, say about ten rods long and
! five wide, there were than a million of
snakes-adders, moccasins, racers and
! black snakes-and woodchucks, squirrels,
! foxes and one bar. They had all come
thar to get TO the water away from the fire,
! but now the water was all dried up, the
! ground baked, and the rocks around as
hot as an oven. They were all walled
! in by the fire. There was no getting out.
! The bar laid down on his back and growl-
| ed. His hair was most burnt off and his
hide was scorched. The foxes were burn-
ed as bad, and looked awful curious with
their tails all roasted. The most amusin
thing Of all was the snakes. Some o.
them were dead in heaps, all twisted uE
and burst open ; others were burnt crisp
and the rest sqairmed and wriegled like +
heap of tangled ropes. All this happened
in less than half an hour. While we stood
a~gawking at the sight gust of wind and
hot cinders came on US. We choked arc
turned around TO get out. There was nt
time to lose. Only narrow, dry ravint
was uuburnt. Down that we went, abou
two yards at each straddle, until we 60

"SHOosr so LONG AS II VAs."-A

that certain two Quarters of beef, two
hogs and one sheep remained in an ex-

fendant. The witness under examination
was a German, whose knowledge of the
English language was very limited but
he testified in very plain, straightGor-

put it into the aforesaid wagon. Then

A DAILY BATH for the whole body is
not too much. Health may not absolutely
require this, but there are few persons who
would not be benefited by a complete
washing of the skin, from head to foot,
at least once day. The feet need wash
ing as much as the head, as perspiration
upon them is very abundant. Feet that
are encased IN wool and leather are not
excepted from this necessity of cleansing.
Digestion is freer when water is applied
above the organs of digestion and the
washing of the chest helps one to breathe
more freely. Bathing makes the limbs
more supple, and it opens the muscles to
breathe from, if such an unscientifc state
ment may he permitted. All will agree
that in the second month of summer a
daily bath is a luxury not to be omitted,
but in winter it is hardly less necessary,
and the reaction which follows makes it
luxury IN the most inclement season.
