DEMOCRATIC MIsRULK IN ALABAMA.


DEMOCRATIC MIsRULK IN ALABAMA.
We learn from the Alabama State Journal,
one of the most active and ut the same time
Intelligent Republican newspapers In the
South, few facts regarding the result Of
Democratic mlsrule In that State. The Democ.
racy, II seems, are rampant with announce
ments that the increased rates of taxation BY
the present Republican Legislature "are
working q sure and rapid system of connsca-
tien.r To this the Journal replies, explain
ing that under the reign Of Democratic
demagogues the taxes In Alabama were re-
duced to onc-half Of one per cent.-an inf
nitely less rate than any other Southern
State. This rate Of taxation was inadequate
to pay even the ordinary expenses Of the
State government, TO say nothing of the i'm
mense interest debt which had accumulated,
or the $4,000, 900 which Lindsay wasted In
his frultless war on Stanton and the Alabama
and Chattanooga railroad. The result of two
years Of this reign of Democratic dema-
gogucs, who had refused TO make the rate Of
taxation high enough to pay even the neces-
sary State expenses, was the increase of the
bonded debt Of the State by 81 900, 900, and u
legacy Of unpaid debt to their Republican
successors US follows: Outstanding State Ger
ti1cates, $500, 600; outstanding auditors war
rants, sl9757'sl; and temporary loan,
o., 0O0-making altogether over 500, 900.
Also loans unpaid in New York to the amount
Of 100000. Besides this, not cent had
been paid to the insane and judicial depart
ments. The sum OF " Sol ,533'si was due on
account OF the educational fund. Even the
sheriffs, who had Kept the prisoners In our
common )ails' were unpaid Tor year last
past, and In one word, the state OF Alabama
had ceased to perform nearly all the func-
tons OF an ordinary state government"

A Conductor 20 he Trusted.



One day, before Cornelius Vanderbilt
obtained possession Of the Hudson River
railway, he was travelling, 1t is said, from
here to Albany; and, considering him
self privileged character, went into the
baggage car to smoke. lie had been en-
joying his cigar two or three minutes,
when the conductor came along and in-
formed him politely that he must not
smoke there. Vanderbilt said that it
would not make any dfierence-that il
was all right, etc.; but the cnnductor
was of different opinion-declaring that
it was contrary to the rules of the road.
"You don't know me-" said the speak
er, "My name is Vanderbilt; am some;
times called Commodore. l generally
do about as / please"
~ don't know, nor do | care who you
are, Mr.. Vanderbilt, | intend to obey
the rules. If you were ten times Com
modore, | could not permit you to smoke
here, and you must go elsewhere to fin
ish your cigar"
The loyalty to duty displayed by the
conductor pleased the ancient Cornelius,
and he went out, though not before he
had said to the conductor: "You are the
right kind of a man for your place. You
don't respect persons. think of buy
ing this road, and if l co, you can stay
on it as long as you like"
Vanderbilt did buy the road, and re-
tanned the conductor. He frequently
remarked that that man could be trusted;
that he was never mistaken in judging
of character; and that he knew, from
the first, that the conductor was sound.
The conductor stayed on the road for
FIVE years, and in that time, as the story
goes, stole himself into a pecuniary indie
pendence.
So much for Vanderbilt's knowledge
of character. Evidently the conductor
knew Vanderbilt better than Vanderbilt
knew the conductor.

Advice 70 MnrriagcbIe Girls.

"Girls," said worthy old lady to her
grand-daughters, "whenever a fellow
pops the question don't blush and stare
at your feet. Just throw your arms a.
round his neck, look him fall in the face
and commence talking about the furni-
ture. Young fellows are mighty nerv-
Gus, sometimes. | lost several good
chances before | caught your dear grand
father, by putting on airs, but | learned
how to do it after a while"
A girl found the above in newspa-
per and determined to act upon the sug-
gestiOD contained therein. She had tried
many other plans to capture the wary
fuzzled-lipped youths and had failed: As
a last desperate resort she would try the
furniture business. SO, when the young
man whom she was angling for dropped
in to see her the other evening she re-
ceived him with smiles and lured him
along in the conversation up to what she
considered the popping point.
She held the bait temptingly before
his eyes, and he opended his mouth and
said:
"Angeline have long entertained
feelings of the deepest regard for you
| have the greatest respect for your
judgment, and | would ask you a ques-
tion upon which much of my future
happiness depends. Would you have
me"
He was interrupted. The gill threw
herself across the room into his lap, and
as she held him in an iron embrace, she
stared into his eyes, rapidly vociferated: /:
"Oh, yes-double bedstead-with all
my heart-mahogany sofas-bless YOU
parlor and kitchen sets-marble-topped
cradle-and, sh
The astonished youth, partly recover
ing his senses, strove to pacify the excl
ted girl and find out what was the mat
ter with her.
AS he soothed her she held tighter to
him, and between her sighs whispered
words of love and furniture. Suspicion
ing that he had been misunderstood, the
young man said;
"Angeline, calm yourself. You did
not hear me through. was about to
ask you if you would have me"
"Oh, yes-chairs and"
"Do listen a minute-would you have
me marry Miss Gertrude B of Glas-
gov, or Miss Emma P of Lexing-
ton. You see / am undecided, and
l."
Like cat arising from a hot griddle
that girl arose from of that fellow, and
she poured hot epithets upon him like
scalding water rushing from the mouth
of kettle on a dogs back.
Said she; "You consarned, insanish,
idiotic, green simpleton. What do you
reckon care who you marry, you fool ?
You luberly, obtuse, unappreciative,
mutton-headed, jack cared"

A Cholera Incident of 1888.


The following is an incident which oc-
CURED during the prevalence of the chol-
era in 1888, and narrated to US a few
days since by friend;
Mrs. Williams, then as now, resi-
dent of Fleming county, was taken vio-
lently i'll with the cholera. The disease
seemed TO have run the usual short and
terrible course, and she was pronounced
dead. Hurried preparations for the fu-
neral were made, and the supposed
corpse, dressed in the habiliaments Of the
grave, was placed in the coffin, and the
lid was being fastened down. when a
feeble though distinct rap from within
startled and arrested the attention Of
those present, and the coffin lid being re-
moved, the fact was family disclosed
that Mrs. w, was still living. Proper
restoratiyss were at once procured and
applied, and Mrs. w. recovered and still
lives, hale and hearty for one of her age.
Our informant has often heard the old
lady speak Of the occurrence and of the
feeling she experieneed-how, from the
time she first discovered that the atten-
dants regarded her as dead. she strove to
give some sign Of life 10 avert a live bn-
rial, and being wholly unable, when the
fixing Of the nails in her coffin, neryed
her 10 a more determined, last desperate
effort, which happily resulted as we have
stated.

9th. Are any candidates now before
the people engaged in using whisky to
secure their elcctionl We know not
We see but little Of them, know but lit

they exist.
A Government that will tolerate the
use of whisky by candidates for political
office, to secure their own election, is so
fir the very worst conceivable despotism
The bayonet and the sword are far mild
er and better masters. the hcartless
reign of a Nero, over the property and
lives Of his christian subjects was more
tolerablc than is the demoniacal cruelties
inflicted by whisky upon its subjects.
Nero could only destroy the body Whis-
ky perverts reason, Judgment and con-
science, binds the whole man, body, soul
and spirit, with its chains, and dooms its
victim TO life of mental and moral de-
graduation.
A republic can have no worse enemy
than him who destroys the morals of her
people, and units them for every duty,
by the use of whisky, in order to secure
his own election. The strong arm of the
law ought to arrest him as a public en-
emy. and cause him to realize that ''the
way Of the transgrsssor is hard d.

Death of the Oldest Woman.

The oldest woman is dead sure enough,
this time, and the Newport (Ry.) Leader
gives this account of her: "On Sunday,
Aunt Hagar, a colored woman, died in
this county near Alexandria. She was
probably the Oldest person in the United
States, being l22 years old, having been
born on the 2ist of March, 1851. She
was native of Virginia, and was brought
TO Kentucky at an early day of its set
tlement by Lewis Wileoxen, whose wife
was sister of Ben Beall, the elder,
grandfather Of Ben Beall, the present
circuit court of Campbell county. At
the time Of the old woman's death she
was living in the care of a colored man
named Anthony Lee. She died of old
age. For the last twenty years she has
been blind, but in other respects possess
ed all her faculties 10 the last.

A sEA-FARIEG man, who has recently
married, gives the following description
of his bride and her apparel, which We
think will put some Of the society pa
pers to the blush "My wife is just as
handsome a craft as ever left the milli-
gerry dry-docks, is clipper bnilt, and with
a figure head not often seen ON small
crafts. Her length of keel is five feet
eight inches, over all FIVE feet eleven
inches, displaces twenty-seven feet of Gu
bic air; Of light draught, which adds to
her speed in a ballroom full in the
waist, spars trim. At the time we were
spliced she was newly rigged, fore and
aft, with standing rigging of lace and
flowers, mainsail part silk, with forestay-
sail of Valenciennes. Her frame was Of
the best steel, covered with silk, with
whalebone stancheons. This rigging is
intended for fair weather cruising. She
has also a set Of STERN sails sor rough
weather, and is rigging out a small set
of canvass for light squalls, which are IL
able TO occur at this latitude sooner or
later. | am told in running down the
street before the wind, she answers the
helm beautifully, and can turn around
in her own length If a handsomer craft
passes her."

The Weather Hints.

"a remark or two on eating or drink
ing in hot weather will be in season.
Green vegetables, properly cooked, are
certainly healthful in warm weather
but it is a mistake to think that meat
should be excluded from summer diet.
The hotter the weather the more the sys-
TEN wastes, and therefore, the more we
must supply.
'1n order to keep the body in a health
ful condition, meat should be eaten at
least once a day in summer time. 1t
would be well to vary this programme
by taking one meal of fish on every
other day. Fat should be disused us
much as possible. A very little good
butter with your fresh radishes at break
fast, is as much fat as necessary.
"When weary, or cold, or warm, or
exhausted, we drink in preference to eat
ing, because we feel the effect instanta-
neously; while after eating the most sub
stantial food, we do not feel the effect for
some time.
When exhausted, and when immedi-
ate relief is necessary, the best drinks
are broth, chocolate, milk, or water
sweetened with sugar. 1t is more than
a mistake TO drink wines or liquor at
such time, it is really committing slow
suicide.
"When only thirsty, without exhaust
ion, we ought to drink cold water with
teaspoon. When thirsty and heated,
the best thing to do is to dip the hands
in cold water, deep enough to cover the
wrists; then dip a towel in the water,
and lay it on the forehead, and then
drink cold water with a teaspoon. A
few drops Of vinegar or lemon juice may
be added to the water. If exceedingly
hot keep your hands in the water and a
towel on your forehead for at least mo-
ment after drinking"
