Mount Carbon Coal, IS cents.

Last Friday night, at Florence, Alabama. a
young man named Watkins was shot and in
stantly killed by Mr.. William Twitty. Wat
kins and friend had started to go to the
shoals to shoot wild geese. On their way they
passed Mr. Tate's cotton pen, and as it was
quite dark and cold. they concluded to get in
the cotton pen till the moon rose. Mr.. Twitty
heard some one in the pen, and concluding it
was negro thieves, slipped out there with
shotgun and commenced firing. Watkins
raised up to tell him who they were, but load
of buckshot struck him in the head, killing
him instantly.

Major Merrill dies hard. He could not resist
the temptation to give us parting stroke Of
his authority on the election. On Sunday
night late squad OF his cavalry sneaked
through the city, even taking the sidewaIDto
escape observation, to the ferry landing, and
attempted to cross the river. Luckily the
ferry boat did not have steam up, and what
was better, the engineer was not to be found.
The bold soldier boys had to retrace their
steps to the camp in the dark and take new
start yesterday morning when they succeeded
in crossing over. A gentleman VINO left Belle
vue yesterday afternoon, says he left Nerrill's
"cow boys about the outskirts Of the town,
waiting for an opportunity to develop some
thing startling. 1t is very evident that this
squad was sent over to Bossier for the purpose
OF influencing the election.

hardship, and looks a good deal like rattle
snake venom on the part Of the authorities.

Absent Mindedness and Mental Power.

1t is worthy of notice that the growth
of the mind is often accompanied by an
apparent loss of power in particular re-
spects; and this fact is exceedingly i'm
portant, especially to all who desire to
estimate the condition of their own mind.
The mental phenomenon called mot very
correctly absence of mind is often re-
garded by the person experiencing it, and
still more by those who observe it in him,
as proof of failing powers. But it often,
II not generally accompanies the increase
of mental power. Newton displayed alb
sence of mind much more frequently and
to much more marked degree when his
powers were at their highest than in his
youth, and not only did instances become
much less frequent when he was at an adj
vanced age, but the opposite quality, SEN
s1tIveness to small @annOyances, began
then to. be displayed. Even an apparent
impairment of the memory is mot neces-
sarlly Indicative of failing mental powers,
since it is often the result of increased
concentration of the attention on subjects
specially calling for the exercise of the
highest forms of mental power-as analy
sis, comparison, generalization, and judy
ment. | have already noted that profound
thinkers often refrain from exercising
the memory, simply to avoid the distrac-
ton of their thoughts from the main SUBJ
ject of their study. But this statement
may be extended into the general remark
that the most profound students, whether
OF physical science, mathematics, history,
or IN tine, of any difficult subject Of re-

A Genuine Case OF Leprosy in Detroit.

There is at present in one of the public
institutions of this city genuine, we'll
defined case of leprosy. The victim is
John Mccarthy, native of Buffalo, aged
twenty-one years. He has been afflicted
with it ever since his earliest recollection
and has led vagrant life, wandering, q
hopeless outcast, from city to city, occa-
slonally dropping into almshouses and
frequently finding refuge in penal institu-
tons as vagrant. Mccarthy is covered
with white scales, which fall off constant
ly, and are as constantly renewed. They
are on the scalp, face, and hands, and
also cover some portions of the body half
an inch in thickness, having the appear.
ance OF dried Goldfish skin. ~
physicians, accustomed as they are to
sad sights, have turned away from the
contemplation of McCarthy's horrible
case, sick in body and spirit. The pa-
tient is rapidly becoming imbecile from
disturbed nutrition and want of rest. for
until recently he has scarcely been
known to sleep. The entire of the effect
ed region is mass of leprous irritation,
and shower of scales flies off with the
least motion, the bed presenting the
appearance somewhat of having been lib
orally strewn with coarse bran. Medi-
cines have thus far had but little affect,
owing in part, no doubt, to bad hygiene,
poor food, and insufficient clothing.
Now his condition seems little i'm
proved. Even should he improve for a
time, the disease would probably return
with all its original virulence.
Mccarthy long since reached condi-
'tlon ofmind where he regards the pros
pect OF death as blessing infinitely to
be preferred to longer endurance of his
present pitiable condition. Such is lep-
rosy Detroit Free Press.

SIX MILLIONS. two years ago,
DR.. J. WALKER, an old and prominent
physician Of California, discovered, by
actual experience upon his own system, a
medicine which may honestly be termed
"a boon to suffering humanity" Being a
combination of herballstic extracts, pun
gent and sour to the taste, and yet pos
sessed of gentle cumulative characteris-
tics-although entirely free from alcohol
he named it VINEGAR BITTERs, and
despite the prejudice existing among his
profession, against all patented medicines,
he determined to brave the jeers of his
brother practitioners, and give to suffer-
ing humanity the benefit of his accidental
discovery. He did so, and the benefits
from its use became known. The de-
MAJ d increased, and immense quantities
were sold, at merely nominal price. Its
merit is told in the fact that Gin two years
over SIX MILLIONS of bottles have been
sold;" and still the demand increases
Surely such man should be ranked
among the benefactors of the human race.

A Fascinating Plant.

There are many plants that have the
power of imprisoning insects, which are
of course decomposed and thought to af.
ford sustenance to the plant. At recent
meeting of the British Association for
the Advancement of Science, paper was
read by Mr.. A. w. Bennett, on the move
ment of the glands of Drosera, or sundew.
These glands, which fringe the margin of
its leaf and cover the upper side, have
been shown by previous observers not to
be hairs in the true sense of the term, .. e.,
mere cellular expansions of the epidermis,
but to be integral parts of the leaf, with
fibro-vascular bundle containing spiral
threads Tin other words vein or nerve of
the leaf running through them, and even
to be furnished with stomata.
The glands excrete at all times, when
in healthy condition, a white viscous
gluten which quickly entraps any small
insect that settles upon the leaf, gradu-
ally holding it down more and more as
it struggles, till escape is hopeless. The
glands soon begin to move toward the
imprisoned insect; but this movement is

How to Sharpen Screw.driver.

THE screw-driver is found not only in
the tool-chest of every mechanic, but in
most houses and offices. It ranks with
the hammer, the saw, and the AK in
general utility, and yet few persons
know anything about how it should be
sharpened so as to do its work most
ff1ciently-that is, with the least expen-
diture of power, and the least injury to
the heads of the screws. In driving a
screw into wood, the force used to press
the screw-driver against the head of the
screw tends to aid the latter in pene-
trating, the wood but when we
attempt to extract screw every
pound of pressure that we apply
tends to render it more difficult to
get the screw out. 1t therefore becomes
very important that the screw-driver
should be so formed that it may be kept
in the nick of the screw by the exertion
of the very least degree of force, for if it
has any tendency to slip out we can
keep it in place only by applying pres
sure, in which case we run great risk of
injuring the nick and rendering it i'm
possible to draw the screw. Ttbr
If we examine a screw-driver in the
condition in which it is so ordinarily
found, we shall find that it presents a
section in which the sides of the wedge,
in which all screw-drivers terminate,
are curves with the convex sides out
ward. Now, the effect of thus curving
the sides of this wedge is to render it
greatly more obtuse. Moreover, when
we turn the screw. driver, the tendency to
slip out of the nick is just in proportion
to the obtuseness or bluntness of the
wedge, and therefore this form is the
very worst that can be chosen. In the
hands of good workmen, therefore, we
find that the screw-driver ends in a
wedge of which all the side are perfectly
straight. This is very good form, but
it is not equal to that in which
the sides of the wedge are
curves but the concave sides out
ward. In this way we lessen the
obtuseness of the wedge at the extreme
point, and produce turn-screw which
may be kept in the nick by the least pos
sible pressure endwise
To grind screw driver into this form,
is is necessary to use very small grind
stone, and many of the artificial stones
found in market answer admirably.
Many mechanics would find it to their
advantage to keep one of these small
grindstones for the purpose, as it could be
run in the lathe with very little trouble

A Remarkable Man.

THERE lives in Ohio County, near
Whitesville, Daviess County, a gentleman
whose name is Henry T. Tanner, aged
fitty-seven years. He never had a bad
cold, has never voted for President. has
never been to his county-seat (Hartford),
has not voted since 1861, though an old
citizen, and has never been to his precinct
but twice. At the age of twenty three he
lost, by straying, fhe only horse he ever
owned, though he is now a well-to-do
farmer. He went to hunt his mare, and
failed in finding her. but found wife and
brought her home instead. She is twenty
five years older than he is. At the time
of marriage her weight was 233 pounds,
his 1913 pounds; now he weighs $50, and
she 100. At one time since their marriage
they weighed exactly the same, viz: 1913
pounds. Mr.. Tanner is very strong and
healthy man. He has never lost but one
meal of victuals from sickness. When he
built his house he carried enough plank
up steep hill to lay the floor of room
17X19 at two loads, and had six plane
seventeen feet long left. 1t is his GUS
tom to go to mill three and five milks
and carry the corn and meal, never using
horse, and carrying two bushels at
time. He has raised 5000 pounds of to-
bacco, besides other crops, this year, and
a horse has never been in the field. This
is the usual crop he raises in the same
manner, never using a horse. He has
never hauled any fire-wood that he has
burned, always carrying it. His brother
Jonathan carried rock weighing 700
pounds across a mill-dam, walking tim
Der only about eight inches in width; the
same brother cleared and fenced ten acres
OF land in one winter, carrying all the rails
seven to fourteen rails was his load He
ana Mr.. Henry Tanner wrestled four hours
different heats, and neither was thrown.
Many other things could be truthfully said
OF this remarkable man, but we think this
IS sufficient to entitle him to the adjective.
Ihls account was given us by Mr.. Tanner
himself, and in the presence of several
citizens of Whitesville, who vouched for
the most of it as the ruth.-HaaoesvSlle

not very conspicuous at first, and is very
much more decided after the insect has
almost completely ceased its struggles:
thus appearing not to be due to the ex-
istence of "contractile tissue" IN the
leaf, which is irritated by the movement
of the insect. After the lapse of some
time, the whole of the glands Of the leaf,
even those which were at considerable
distance from the insect, are found to be
bending over toward it and to be almost
in contact with it. After time the in
sect is to all appearance digested, actual
ly supplying tissues of the leaf with
nOurishment
Very nearly the same effect was pro-
duced by substituting for the fly piece of
raw meat, the movement, of the glands
being somewhat slower, but ultimately
almost as complete; the meat being APP
parently digested in the same manner.
On other leaves were placed minute
piece of wood and small piece of wor-
sted; and in neither of these cases was
the least change perceptible after a con-
siderable time in the position of the
glands or the object itself.

the extent of that necessity can be calculated with
exactness. If 3,500,000 bales are grown, they will
be consumed before another crop can be gathered,
and remuneratlve market price will be sustained
by the consequent demand. If 100000 bales are
grown, the large marginal excess will control and
depress the market.
Alternatives for success are numerous, but we
