A WORD In SEAsoN.-Health is a
blessing, which comparatively few enjoy
in all its fullness. Those endowed by
nature with robust frames and vigorous
constitutions should be careful not to
trifle with them.
When we enter the season of periodic
fevers, the increased heat of the sun devel-
ops a miasma which pervades the air.
The heat is inextinguishable; our duty
to guard against it is imperative. For
tunately for those whose lot is cast in
low, marshy districts or new clearings
nature provides cure and preventive.

Cardinal McClOsky's Sadness.

Close observers among the multitude
that went out to see the Cardinal on his
recent visit to this city, could not have
failed to be impressed with the mild, sad
and almost pathetic expression seated on
the furrowed face of the wearer of the
scarlet robes of Prince of the church.
With all due respect it was remarked
that the venerable prelate looked little
puzzled, little scared, and good deal
bored by his new dignity. II seemed
plain that he was not of the stuff that
Cardinals are made of; such Cardinals,
at least, as those with whom tie popular
mind connects the title. This impression

The appearance of tortoise shell may
be given to horn by brushing it over
with paste made of two parts of lime,
one part litharge, and little soap lye,
which is allowed to dry. This is the
same as the Indian hair-dye, and acts by
forming sulphuret of lead with the sui
phur contained in the albumen of the
horn, producing dark spots, which con-

1t is often remarked by strangers visiting
our State that we show larger proportion
of good horses than any other State in the
Union. This, we tell them, is owing to two
principal reasons: in the first place, we breed
from the very best stock and in the second
place, our people use Meridan's CaUatry Con-
daion Povders, which in our judgment are of
incalculable advantage.

THE letter addressed by the Pope to
Victor Emmanuel, entreating him to
veto the clause Of the CONSUMPTION bill
which rendered the clergy liable to mill
tary service, produced a sensation in
Italy. The letter reminded the King of
the many saints there had been in his
family, and urged that the clause would
destroy the Church. 1t has displeased
the extreme parties upon both sides,
neither of whom desire reconciliation of
the papacy and the monarchy. The
Senate relieved the King of the necessity
of taking any action in the matter by re-
iecting that clause of the bill. Anumber
of petitions from the clergy had been
sent to the Senate.

New York Rents.

We quote from an article on "The
Shrinkage of Values" by DIR. j. G. Hol-
land, in Scribner for June:
If New York is ever to thrive again,
and perfect its growth and importance
as indubitably the great American city,
her real estate must shrink so that her
own people may live upon Manhattan
Island, and thus reduce her rate of tax
alton, and so that business can be done
here as cheaply as it can be done else
where. 1t is hard for man who has
had fifty thousand dollars year for
Broadway store to take twenty-five thou
sand. 1t is hard for man who has paid
fifty thousand dollars for house, or
thirty thousand for a lot, to sell it at
thirty per cent. discount; but the sacri-
flee must be made, and the shrinkage
submitted to. Rapid transit may ac-
commodate limited number of business
men now living within the city limits,
but it will not populate the vacant ter
ritory, unless it can be cheaply bought
and built upon. The cost of living in
New York is something fearful. A man
can buy dinner for his family at Wash
ington market at fair price, but the
moment the staples of that market are
moved up town, a sum is added in many
instances equal to their original cost at
the producers door. Beef that originally
cost from four to six dollars on the foot,
rises to an equal advance by passing
from Fulton street to Forty-Second
street; yet we do not know that the
market-men make too much money.
Turkeys that cost eighteen cents at
Washington market, rise to twenty-five
by riding three miles. All this must be
changed, and it can only be changed by
a fall of rents.

A Curious Old Violin.

There is now on exhibition at the es-
Enlistment of Mr.. William Boucher,
Jr., manufacturer and importer of must
cal instruments, an ancient specimen of
the violin family, which, from its
antiquity, the beauty of its shape and
quality of its tone, possesses rare attrac-
tions to musicians. The instrument is
three-quarter size violin. In shape it is
made according to the best models, and
from casual observer would not evoke
any comments. Upon closer inspection,
however, it is discovered to have eight
strings, four underlying the usual ones,
and running beneath the finger board,
the design being to increase the quality
of tone by additional vibration.
Nothing is known in regard to the
origin of this quaint old instrument, and
the only similar application of its prin-
ciplos is in patent gotten out in 1884,
by G. f. Clark, of Danvillc, New York,
who brought out what he termed a
violoncellO, the invention consisting of
set of steel wires brought to an extra
ordinary degree of tension, and fitted in
the interior of the instrument. The
same improvement was also applied to
viOlins.
The instrument in possession of Mr..
Boucher, however, is of very ancient
origin, the wood of which it is composed
spruce pine and curled maple-having
been evidently cut from high mountain
region, where vegetation is of slow
growth, and being now rendered so hard
by age that knife will Il .rdly pene rate
it. The F holes are peculiarly con-
structed, the upper edges being so cut as
to overlap the under ones. The finger
board is made of horn, and deeply
marked with lines running crosswise and
diagonally, the purpose of which is evil
IDENTIFY to fix a guide to the fingers; for,
as late as the seventeenth century, it was
the custom to fret the necks of all bow
instruments. The tail piece is composed
of human bone, upon which the strings
are fastened by iron hooks. Eight keys
regulate the strings, and the neck is sur
mounted by the head of a crowned SCI
pent known in the rural regions of Italy
and Germany as the queen snake, the
simple belief of the peasantry being that
good luck will always attend the pres
ence of this charmed reptile.
The instrument is handsomely embel-
lished with designs and polished with
Italian varnish. Ithas been handled by
some of our best musicians, and its tone
is found to be peculiarly sonorous and
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. American.

COahOma County Politics.

From an Occasional Correspondent.l
FRIARs PoUVT, Miss, November T.
II will be remembered that the d mo-
cratic convention which met at Meridi
an in 1873 determined to dlsbsnd the
Democratic party and permit each indi-
vidual Democrat to do as he pleased but
with the expectation that the main body
Of the patty, IS they did, would support
General Alcorn. There We're, however,
a plumber of Democrats who believed
that the election of AlcOrn might draw
into the Republican party q number of
our southern men, and thus strengthen
and perpetuate that party in power,
while, on the other hand, the election
Of Ames would intensity the opposition
OF all southern men against it. Among
thst number of Democrats, was II. T.
Reid, who, up to that time, had been
the leader of the Democracy in COsho-
ma county, and who was q Bourbon
Democrat in the Meridian convention.
Judge Reid acted with the Republican
patty in tbst,csnvass, and with the full
knowledge and com ent of many of the
leading taX-payers Of CoahOms, con-
tinued TO act with thai party up TO the
commencement Of the present canvass,
and in order that he might have more
influence with the Republicans, it was
agreed that some Of tie most bitter
Democrats should be encouraged to
denCunce him as q Radical. This
state OF affairs lasted Until the
nomination OF the Brown ticket on
the second day Of October last.
Judge Reid, believing that Brown would
divide the offices with the white pe0ple
OF the county, had induced the leading
tax payers to go on Browns bond a.
sheriff of the county, and be labOred
hard TO induce the Brown convention to
nominate a ticket acceptable TO the tax
payers. When he failed in this he de-
tsrmined to run for sheriff on az inde-
pendent peoples ticket against the
Brown party, aud with thar in view
he held the boiling convention in
FriaTs Point on the night OF October >,
1875. At that Tins many prominent
white men promised TO support him,
but it was supposed to be
best not to do so by any open
Inducements. After this the not oc-

mated, he was himself defeated.
But Notwithstanding thie, he stil
ran for sheriff, believing that he could
carry large colored vote, and that the
white menand tax payers who had been
ln his confidence, and who had indorsed
MIN in all his acts, would still sustain
him. The result was that he was
badly beaten, but all who
have been cognizant of his
course gave him the credit Of having
broken the power OF John Brown In the
county, and this should be glory enough
for one man. But for Reid there would
have been no bolting convention. But for
the bOlting convention, Alcorn would not
have publicly denounced Brown. But for
Alcorn's denunciation, there would have
been no assembly OF armed negroes by
Brown. Bat for the ass embly of the
armed negroes there would have been
no riot. But for the riot Brown and
Smith would still have been in Coaho-

serves. We would say word, also, in
