still unsettled. And yet, when war
comes-as come it wiil-not one of

FIgaro's reporter always saw at the
Paris executions an old man dressed in
black, of distinguished appearance,
and who always took an intense inte-
rest in all the details, and Was on
familiar terms with all the functiona-
ries. For long while the reporter
was mysti6ed, and finally resorted to
an interview. His man proved to be
an ex-dignitary OF the guillotine. He
had been the assistant for many years
of Heindreich, the former executioner.
He attends the executions out of q
feeling of ''home sickness for his
former occupation" He finds the
present executions only $3.50, and says
that Heindreioh was more distinque.
In his retirement he has made him

CONSUMPTION CAN BE CURED
Schenck's Pulmonio Syrup, Schenck's
Sea Weed Tonic, and Schenck's Man

that will cure Pulmonary Consump-

MALARIA EVERYWHERE Rarely has
there been season as fruitful as this
OF malarious diseases. Not only on
the prairies and in the valleys Of the
West; not merely in all the old haunts
of fever and ague and bilious remit.
tent fever have these prostrating dis
eases been unusually virulent; but
they have extended to towns and cities
never before infested with them, and
have even ascended the mountains and
attacked thousands Of people supposed
to have been placed by the laws of ma
tare above their reach. Hence we are
compelled to admit that fatal ele-
ment peFvades the un;vs7sa! a:. this
season, and should at once resort to
the only approved preventive OF its
consequences, Hostetters Stomach
Bitters, tonic 80 potent, an antiseptic
80 perfect, an Alternative so irresistible.
and stimulant 80 pure, that it enables
the human system to resist and battle
all the predisposing causes of disease.
With the confidence that one clothed
in inoombustible garments might move
among blazing buildings, the man
who arms himself against malaria with
this powerful defensive medicine may
walk ever.soourged district fearless
Of its insalubrious atmosphere. The
intermittents and remittents, at pre-
sent 80 general in all parts of the
country. may be but the fore-rnnners
Of deadlier scourge. Prepare the
system with Hostetter's Bitters for
successful battle with the mephitic
causes of all epideniics. Be wise in
time. All the disorders common to
the season may be held in allegiance by
this potent antidote: They may also
be elected from the system, after they
have made q lodgment there, by its
persevering use. It is, therefore, mo.
raj inaanity for any family to be with
ont it. Mill

Too M acl, Cotton.

xO0 IA 0Co NOttOns
Itis stated in the October monthly
report Of the Department OF Agricul-
ture, that it is estimated there are on
the Pacific coast in California over
10000. 600 acres OF land sli ed to cott IN
culture. or double the area actually
employed :n the cotton States Of the
Atlantic slope and the Mississippi val
10y. It is further said that this land,
under proper treatment. may be made
to produce from 10, 900. 900 to IL, 900,
600 bales OF cotton per annum; repre-.
senting q cGsh value of about $780,
600. 900. This statement ie, perhaps,
highly colored. If admitted to be oor-
rect. it proves too much. There is no
use:for the annual yield OF 10000. 600
or II, 900, 900 bales OF cotton, in addi-
ton to the crop raised in the cotton
growing States. AS it is, cotton is not
sold at remunerating price whenever
the crop Is large, say 1000, goo bales.
One cause now of the depression in the
staple is that goods manufactured from
cotton remain unsold. and that manu-
factories are in consequence running
only on half time. It is possible that
new markets may be found somewhere
where the surplus may be worked pff.
The lesson to us of this state of things,
ana the prospective opening of more
lands for cotton culture, is to diversity
our crops, and seek to secure inde-
pendence. by raising every home sup
ply that We need, and the soil will pro-
dnce. The soeptre of king cotton,
from one course or another. may
eventually be broken in our hand. We
had better, while it is time, look to
other sources Of power and profit, and
above all things develop whatever re-
sourcss we have.

MIDNIaHr MURDER. Mack Thomas.
a peaceab!e and inoffensive colored
man, was brutally murdered at Flo.
renee on Friday night last by an un-
known assassin, who shot him in his
honse by pointing his gun through the
door while Thomas was seated at the
table with his family. A few days
previous to the murder bale of cot.
ton had been stolen from the gin.
house of Mr.. Lewis, which wa+ in
charge OF Thomas. The deceased en-.

of the thief. which he communicated
to the authorities, and the supposed
thief, colored man, had threatened
