denim prOscrlplon? 1hey mistake VINO say
that there are only two or three hundred
left now forbidden TO exercise the common
rights Of American citizens. 1t is not so.
There are thousands. There are five thOus-
and DISTINGUISHED in the State OF Arkansas
alone, and the men who hold them disfr4n-
chised expect to carry that State against us
by virtue of that disfranchisement. But dc
not numbers of other men, who are not uu-
der this ban, feel themselves pros
cribed because others are for an Of
fense which was their ofiense
as well? So lnng as You have q
prescribed class in the cOuntry, men all
around them, honorable, generous men will
feel 81 ought to be prescribed the same as
that man; the difference was only by acci-
dent; he happened to take an oath or fill an
office before the struggle that 1 did not, but
his guilt was no more than nina,
accident only makes him prescribed aud
leaves me Free" So that, so long as there
shall be prescribed class in this country,
prescription will wrankle in the
hearts OF millions of Americans who
feel that they themselves are con-
demned and banned in the Iact which
dooms their leaders. 1t is not for the sake
of the prescribed alone that i sneak. Every
community has the right to the best SER
vices of all its citizens. Men say TO me,
Why you don't want to elect Gov. Wise or
Toombs or somebody else, do you? No,
don't want to elect any of those men. Bat
suppose other people do: Who are you,
who am l, TO say whether they shall or not?
1t is not question for me, but whether the
American citizens whom you say have the
same rights to vote and hold office as you,
shall be at liberty to vote for
the men you prefer. The question
reaches not several hundreds but several
thousands OF our people. Well, they say
what do the people care about this, the
banks are making money, the people are
prospering, manufacturers are thrifty, who
cares that few hundred or thousand men
are disfranchissd? L care; say a Wal

PACKING BUTTER. - A new
method of packing butter for the
retail trade has been invented,
and it promises to answer a want
long felt. The new process is des-
cribed as follows A fir&in or
barrel is prepared by filling to a
proper depth with strong and
pure brine. The butter, as it is
taken from the churn and prepared
for market, is carefully selected
as to color aud quality, and en-
closed in plain cotton bags or
sacks, weighing from five to ten
pounds each. These sacks are
placed in the barrel or frkin,
fresh and sweet, and as the brine
completely covers them they can
be kept in this condition for any
length of time, it is claimed, with
out any deterioration in quality.
One great advantage that is
claimed for this new style of pack
ing is, that dealers can take one
or more of che bags from the orig
inal package, leaving the rest
safe under cover Of the brine and
excluded from the air. The bags
are suited to the retail trade, as
they are just about what is gener-
ally needed for family use, but are
at the same time so conveniently
arranged that any smaller amount
can be cut from from them in the
handiest manner. This is an ex.
pertinent in packing butter, but it
is worthy of consideration by re-
tail dealers.-Ba6aIo Commercial
Advertiser.

Washed and Unwashed
Wool.

Fat sheep secrete large qnanti-
ties Of oil and gum in their wool,
which adds materially to the
weight Of their fieeces. A wool
manufacturer in Mottville, in this
State, gives an account of fleece
which was raised on a farm near
Skaneateles, and sold as weighing
nineteen pounds and seven ounces,
which was correct as far as the
weighing was concerned in the
condition in which it wos Sold
But this fleece weighed when prop.
erly washed only three pounds eight
and one half ounces Of clean wool.
The St. Louis Democrat tells of an
experiment made by dealer who
took merino fleece weighing
Itwenty-seven pounds, unrolled ii
and exposed it to the action of
the sun for three days, at the end
OF which time it weighed but
nineteen pounds. He then washed
liz without soap, just as a sheep is
washed, and it weighed but twelve
pounds. Finally the fleece was
picked apart and secured with
soap and soft water, and when dry
the weight of the fleece was re-
duced to nine pounds. At the
present St. Louis prices for washed
and unwashed wool the buyer
would have lost just Sc "a on his
purch ase. -Neao York Sun.

POISON.
Startling Developments In a Poisoning
Case before New York Court.

New YORK, December 13.-The testi-
mOny in the Anderson poisoning case
to-day embraced a startling disclosure.
A. Jackson, formerly clerk in DR.. Irish's
store, testified that ten days before
Anderson's death, Dr. Irish and Mrs.
Anderson came into the store, and at
the Doctors request witness put up three
drachms of white arsenic, with which,
he said, Mrs. Anderson wanted TO kill
a cat. -Four or five days after, DR. Irish
ordered the witness TO put up four dol
ars wot tn of arsenic, with one dollars
worth of Paris greene. On the twelfth
of May, DIR. Irish said to witness,
that since be might be subpenaed in
this case, he would like to know il the
evidence confiicted. The Doctor asked
him about putting UP some bicarbonate
of soda, and if he remembered it. Wit
ness replied that he did not see him get
it, and would not periure himself for the
city Of Brooklyn. The Doctor said he
could go out of the city to Sing Sing, or
any other place. A new clerk was then
obtained, and the Doctor gave witness
fifty dollars and he left for Buffalo,
where he has since remained. Mrs.
Anderson wrote a letter to Irish, telling
him he had better not let witness go, as
the other side might get hold of him
and he might testify in regard tc getting
arsenic for the cat.
