Biackmail In Naples,

A gentleman who is very fond of that
pungent little gourd known as the pep
erone, decided the other day to lay in a
stock of them, and for that purpose went
down into the lower, or eastern, part of
Naples, where the trades-people from
about Vesuvius como to station them
selves with their produce. He chanced
upon an old man who had q nice lot of
his favorite vegetable, and began to ask
about the price. Beside the old man
were standing q couple of loafers. One
of these fellows named sum, which was
of course exorbitant; but after proper
amount of haggling fair price per hun
dred was agreed upon and the bargain
concluded.
The purchaser pulled out his money
and was about to hand it to the old
countryman, when the second lounger
stepped forward and took it. This done,
without waiting for the departure of the
purchaser, or attempting to disguise the
rascality of the transaction, he divided
the money into three parts, of which he
and his companion took two, giving the
third to the unlucky owner of the pro-
duce, who had remained wisely mute
while this disposition was going on.

A Railroad Project.

The bill reported in the U. s. House
rs substitute for the Hurlbut bill of
last winter, chartering a double-track
freight railway from tide-water on the
Atlantic coast to the Missouri river, saws
that it must transport all cars and any
freight offered on equal terms for all per
SONS or corporations, at rates which are
minutely prescribed. Bulk freight, such
as grain, coal, timber, etc, received in
cars without handling by the company,
must be transported at the following
rates: Five mills per ton per mile for
all distances exceeding 750 miles, six
mills for distances between 400 and 75O
miles, seven mills for distances between
300 and 400 rules, seven and half mills
for distances between $50 and 800 miles,
and eight mills per ton per mile for less
distances, provided that in the winter
months, from November / to MAY /,
these rates May be increased one mill
per ton per mile. A commission of five
members, Of whom three shall be ap-
pointed by the President and confirmed
by the Senate, and two by the company,
are to have power to classify freight and
fix the maximum rates for such classes
as are not specifically described or
named in this bill, and who are also re-
quired to proportionately reduce all
rates whenever the net earnings of the
road exceed eight per cent. per annum
on its actual cost. The bill proposes in
return for these considerations that the
United States government shall guar
antee five per cent interest on thirty
year construction bonds of the company
to tho extent of $4,000 per mile of
equivalent single track, or about $6O,-

Who Got the Money /?

There is much disappointment here,
says Washington correspondent, at the
determination of the Ways and Means
committee to close up the investigation
of Pacific Mail without discovering the
congressman who received the money.
One of the latest stories of the street is
that only 100000 was really discussed
among the congressman. The rest of
the one million dollars formed, it is said,
the dividend made by the go-betweens.
According to this floating street gossip
some sixty members of Congress were
bribed, receiving checks from 81, 900 up
to $50, 900, which is said to have been
the part of one ex-senator. If as many
as sixty were bribed it will be seen that
very powerful influence could be
brought to bear to conceal the guilty
men. Of course this may be all rumor,
and have "nothing in it," but of the
3400, 900 the sum of 1915. ZOO was dis
bursed by Mr.. Schumaker and 1925, 600
by King.

A Nation OF Dyspeptics.

We live fast-dissipate in everything
except righteousness, and fill early
graves. We drink all kinds of poisoned
alcoholic spirits, and swallow, without
mastication, pork, grease, and every con-
ceivable carbonaceous, soul dwarfing,
life-destroying, system-clogging, indi-
gestible food. DIR. Walkers Vegetable
Vinegar Bitters cannot stop this in a
radical manner-but it will remove the
evil effects, and the recovering patient,
with fresh, pure, vitalized, electrical
blood flowing through his arteries and
veins, will have clearer head and o
cooler judgment, which, coupled with
experience, will cause him to abstain in
the future. Good, nutritious, digestible
diet, which the most delicate stomachs
may take, can be found in cracked
wheat, corn bread, tomatoes, raw or soft
boiled eggs, baked apples, boiled rice,
plain rice pudding, corn starch, rare
beef, mutton and poultry. With Vine

Clipping Horses.

The man who really loves his horses,
says Turf, Field and Farm, does not re-
quIre to be told that the clipped animal
suffers severely If allowed to stand un-
covered in the bleak air OF winter. But,
unfortunately, there are q good many
people who have come into the possession
OF quick-stepping horses whe have no
real affection for the animals which serve
them, and in whom the delicate sense
OF humanity Is blunted. These people
care more for show than comfort, and
they will keep clipped horse shiverine
all day in the chilly streets. In ON
cases they may tie small blanket over
the loins, but it never enters into their
heads to more fully protect the shorn
equine. Now, clipping is an excellent
thing when practiced with Judgment, but
it is nothing short of cruelty when made
indiscriminate. The heavy horse which
does slow work should never be deprived
OF his natural coat of hair. AS he has to
face all kinds Of weather aud does not
warm his blood by viol ut exercise, n
long and thick coat of b II is essential
to his health and comfort But with the
light, active horse it j different. We
take him from the war; stable, give him
merry spin over the load, and for the
time being are done with him. If his
hair Is long the lungs are taxed more
severely in aerpting the blood, the pores
of the skin In a measure being clogged
and at the end of the drive he is envel-
oped in a wet mass. To dry him we
must rub him for hours with cloths, and
subject him to other Inconvenience. If
we do not rub him dry, he will shiver
all night in his stall, just as you, Mr..
Querist, would do were you compelled
to try and WOO balmy sleep between a
pair of wet blankets. 1t is directly the
opposite with the clipped horse. When
putting forth his best effort he breathes
freely, perspires naturally, and, as there
is no hair to absorb the moisture, he
quickly gets rid of the sweat drops. You
put him into his stable after hot
drive, and then, with little grooming,
he is ready for the blanket and COM
fortabe nights rest. It stands to reason,
however, that the clipped horse should
not be tied under roadside shed with
out being carefully covered with woolen
clothing, nor should he be forced to
shiver through a stretch OF two hours in
the carriage traces waiting for my lady
to finish her gossiping call upon
some gossiping friend. If you clip
your carriage horses, you should make
it your business, on descending to the
pavement from your coach, to see that
your driver throws heavy blankets over
the shorn animals. To allow the poor
equines to stand unprotected in the cold
winter air is to practice downright
cruelty.

SALT WATER FOR THE EYEs.-Many
persons are suffering pain from weakness
of the eyes. This sometimes proceeds
from local inflammation, and sometimes
from other causes. Several persons who
have been thus afflicted inform us that
they have derived almost Immediate,
and, IN some cases, permanent relief
from the application of salt water as n
bath; and where the pain has been aggra-
waited, form compress saturated with
salt water laid on the eyes, and renewed
at frequent intervals. Opening the eyes
and submerging them in clean salt water
has been found beneficial to these whose
eyesight begins to fail

Sheridan I'm New Orleans.

A correspondent of the New York
Times, writing from New Orleans, says
To hate General Sheridan appears Just
now 10 be o religion with the people.
Everywhere-in street cars, bar-rooms,
hotels, and even in churches-I have
heard men and women abusing him.
This abuse liz sometimes very unjust, and
all the charges brought against the gen
cral are made without consideration or
thought. It is the dispatch calling the
people banditi which has caused Sheri-
dan to be 80 intensely disliked. They
feel that they have been insulted before
the entire country, and it is one of their
proud boasts that ga Louisianian never
forgets an insult. During a converse
tion upon this subject, one of the best
known citizens of New Orleans said to
me: "We could have forgiven every
thing else, we have already borne much
and forgiven much, but this unnecessary
insult we cannot and will not forget. "
This feeling seems to pervade all classes
OF the community. The popular hate of
Sheridan finds expression in many ways
he has several times been hung in effigy,
and half the shop windows in New Or
earicature of him. In some places figures
gentlemen are labeled, "This is one of
the banditi." Many of the toy stores
display ridiculous French dolls with i'm
mense heads, and very short legs bear
ing the inscription, 81 am not afraid. 4"
This, of course, has reference to Sheri-
dams dispatch stating that he had been
threatened with assassination, but that
he was not afraid. "I am not afraid"
is now in everybody's mouth. Tho news
boys go through the streets yelling out
the usual "terrible murder in Arkansas, +"
or "horrible cutting affair" always end
ing with " but am not afraid" Sew
sral songs have already been composed,
and entitled, 81 am not afraid" and in
the theaters pert actresses are gaining
popularity and loud applause by ex-
claiming in and out of season /" I am not
afraid"
The general bears all this abuse and
ridicule with commendable good nature
and the utmost indifference. The other
evening when he appeared in the hall of
his hotel q number of unmannerly Doors
saluted him with Kisses and suppressed
exclamations of "I am not afraid" he
passed quietly through the crowd, pay
ing no attention to the impertinence.
Every day as he takes his place at the
dinner table he is stared out of counte-
nance by a number of rude people who
respect neitho- h;s honorable position nor
the feelings of the ladies by whom he is
accompanied. Nothing seems to discon-
cert or annoy him, however. He has
sense enough to laugh at the petty in
suits referred to, and it is but Justice to
say that the mass of the people, although
hating him with bitter hatred, do not
approve Of the way he is treated by a
few of their number.

Ten Men Drowned in the Tyne.

A terrible accident occurred on the
river Tyne, at Blaydon, about five miles
west of Newcastle, England, by which
ten mon lost their lives and many mar
rowly escaped drowning.
In consequence of the rapid thaw
which had prevailed, the river Tyne had
become much swollen by the water run
ming from the hills surrounding the
western reaches of the river, and the ice,
having been broken, was carried with
terrific force down the stream, COM
pletely Blocking up the channel and
stopping all traffic between Newcastle
and the sea. On the afternoon in ques-
ton number of laborers who work at
Blaydon, but reside on the south side of
the river at Lexington, were returning
from work, and as they are accustomed
to cross to their homes in O boat, they
determined to do 80 as usual,
though they might have reached Lem
ington earlier by walking found by the
Scotswood suspension bridge. Fifteen
of them entered wherry near to the
brick works of Mr.. Joseph Cowen, NJ.
p, and put off. They met with much
difficulty even at the outset, owing to
the terrific velocity with which the
waters was rushing down, but continued
their journey in spite of this When
they were almost mid-stream their boat
was caught by huge mass of ice driven
rapidly along, and Immediately over
turned, all its occupants being thrown
into the water. This terrible catastrophe
was witnessed by large number of per
sons on shore, and several boatmen at
once put off to do their best to rescue
the poor fellows. Before they could
succeed in reaching them ten of them
had boen carried away aud drowned five
OF them chung to the floating ice and
trces which were being driven down the
river, aud thus kept themselves on the
surface till assistance was rendered to
them. They were all much exhausted,
and many of them were terribly cut and
bruised by collision with the ice.
