United States to the French capital,
thus explains himself upon tue back paw
question:
l was in Congress when the salary was
put 80, QUO. and always found it more
than sufficient to meet my necessary per-
sonal expenses. When it was raised to
30, O0O thought it too much, and think
so still; but raising it to $500 is no.
tnlng more or less than straight stealing.
Every year that was in Congress I laid
by portion Of my salary, and none of
my constituents over complained that T
didn't live decently. The people dou't
send their representatives to WASHINGTON
to live like princes, buck the tiger, and
keep half dozen Of mistresses.

MOSby to the Front.

Washington, July 26.-The ex-
guerilla, Mosby, is brought to the
front once more fo5 the purpose of
enabling his friends to authorize
the publication of the assertion that
he will support the conservative
candidate for Governor, whoever
he may be, in the ensuing political
canvass in Virginia. 1t is denied
that he has misled the President
into the belief that he (Mcsby) is a
Republican, and it is asserted that
he only supported and voted for
Grant last fall as the least of two
evils, and that his so-called success
in walking into the affections of the
President to the extent Of few
dozen federal appointments is a
mystery to be accounted for on the
supposition that Grant believes i'm
plicitly in the law of compensation.

CHOLERA AT JONESBORO

CHOLERA AT JONESBORO.'
This dread disease is still raging
in' this devoted town. 1t was
thought Saturday that the disease
had spent its force, as it was re
ported better, but on Sunday sew
eral new cases developed their
selves, the disease becoming more
malignant, and spreading over the
entire town. The place is almost
deserted, all having fled that could
get AWAY. Those who remained to
care for the sick and dying are
Worn out. No greater calamity
has ever befallen town. Col. Geo.
Z. Crisham, editor of the FLAG
and who bravely ministered to tie
sick until he was himself attacked
by the monster disease, on yester-
day breatked his last. Truly it
can be said of him, he gave his life
for his friends.
The reports this morning are
more favorable. No deaths since
yesterday and no new cases.
There have been about thirty
deaths up to this date, and there
are twenty-four cases now il the
town.

ceived by private parties in this

A Great Horror Done Away

the prod act oftons of soaP-fairly food ev-
cry part'Of the house. The women, from
the mistress down, labor as they never
worked before, and what with the discom-
fort, the smell of suds and the dampness,
and not unfrequently sickness, the product
of colds and overwork, matters are generally
disagreeable. The simple use of Sapolio in
stead of soap does away with all this discom-
fort. 1t lightens the labor a hundred per
cent, because it removes dirt, grease, stains
and spots, with hardly any labor, with but
little water, and in one tenth the usual time.
