Don't. Want ANY Foo1in..

a negro revivalist named Andrew
Coon is said to be as effective with
his own race, in Mississippi, as Moody
and Sankey are with white people.
He is a powerful fellow, physically
and yocally, and the scenes that at
tend his fervid celebrations are de-
scribed as being the acme of relig-
ious excitement. A correspondent
Of the Cincinnati Commercial attend
ed one of his meetings. After a har-
rowing sermon, that wrought the i'm
pressible hearers to intense feeling,
he made the following admoniffon

The Farmers and the Wool Clip.
New York Bulletin.

From u exchanges we learn that
the opening prices Of new wool in the
Western States have been SO to 43c,
according to grade and condition, but
chiefly at SO to 40c for Michigan and
similar grades, while as high as 49bc
to SOC for combing grades of Ken
lucky has been paid. But sales SO
far have been Of a limited character,
and not sufficient to establish a real
market for the clip. There seems to
be the same disposition among the
farmers to hold the crop, as if with q
view to force buyers to come to their
terms, as was shown on their two
other chief crops-hogs and grain.
On the other hand, the manufacture
ers are acting on the same line of
passive ofense, and refuse to 90 in
TO the wool districts in competition
with the regular dealers, as they
have done in years past, to their own
and the dealers disadvantage and to
the benefit Of the farmers. This sea-
son they seem disposed to let the
dealers manage this business them
selves. On the part of the latter,
there is the same disposition shown
as by the farmers to hold off until
they compel these to come TO their
terms, which are on the basis Of last
years figures or less. It is proba-
BILE, therefore, that we shall see the
recent experience of the grain mar
ket repeated on wool during the
spring, and that no more than suffi-
cient torsupply the current wants of
manufacturers viii be bought for
some time. if at all, at the rates nam
ed above, unless. indeed, the wooden
goods trade should experience a
quick and substantial revival.

A NEW MOTOR.

An engineer in Philadelphia, j. W.
Kelly by name, is astonishing the SCI
entific world by the alleged discovery OF
a motor, which, it is claimed, eclipses
steam. For fourteen years the discov-
erer has lived in obscurity, endeavoring
to perfect machinery to utilize his mo-
tor, which is represented as being capa-
BILE of exerting the tremendous force
of 10000 pounds to the square inch,
and propelling steamships, railway
cars and machinery at rate heretofore
unheard OF, and at trifling cost. The
secret is confined to the discoverer or
inventor, and few persons who have
furnished means to perfect it, and who
refuse to sell stock in the invention
at any price, and it will not be revealed
until patents are secured in the United
States and Europe. 1t is said that the
power is generated by the mechanical
admixture of air and water in a series
of iron chambers connected by pipes,
and in one of the m achines taken apar
no chemicals were discovered. An en-
gineer named Charles Haswell has in
vestigated the machine as far as prac-
ticable, and the company have pub
lished his report as an Endorsement of
the motor, although in letter to the
New York journals he denies that he
Endorsed it, but does not say that he
condemns it. The machine is called the
"hydro-vaporic or pneumatic engine, ;"
and scientific men say if it accom-
plishes what Is claimed for it, it up
sets the hitherto received laws of me-
chanics, and starts a new era in phys
les. One of the machines is being con-
structed for the purpose of taking a
train of cars from New York to Phila-
delphla, which, it is claimed, it will do
at a rate of speed never equaled on
o railroad before. Meanwhile scientists
calmly await the result of practicable
test, which, if successful, will end the
era of steam as a motor.

BONNER ON GRANT.

A few years ago Bonner, of the New
York Ledger, the blood and thunder
story paper, was one of the most ar
dent admirers of President Grant.
Both were good judges of horse flesh,
and if we mistake not, the Ledger man
presented the gift taker with to-
ken of his esteem in the shape of q
valuable present. Since then a cold
ness has sprung up between those emf
nent horsemen, which was probably
caused by the ladies of the Presidents
household ordering their Ledger stop
ped, or something of that kind, as Bon
Ter never dabbled in the filthy pool of
politics, or expressed an opinion on the
Force bill or the third-term question.
But a change has come over the spirit
of his dreams, and in an angry out
burst he tells his two hundred thou
sand lady readers through the columns
of the Ledger what Grant was and is,
as follows:
A few years ago there was man
who had been educated in our West
Point Academy at the public expense.
He had dropped out of the army and
became hauler of cord-wood to the
St. Louis market. Common report
says he used to be found dallying along
by the roadside on his way home.
Later he was clerk in leather store
in Galena, very poor.
He was appointed a Colonel in the
army, and promoted and promoted and
promoted, until he had command of all
our armies. Many persons always
thought that much, very much of his
success was owing to the superior OPP
portunities that were given him.
Finally, rank and title, never be-
fore conferred in this country, were
created especially for him. He was
made the General of the United States
Army. Then he was nominated for
President of the Uniten States and
elected. Next he was reelected.
Elected and reelected to what? To
the highest elective office ever created
by man! To an Office to hold which,
in the infancy and beginning of the
Republic. George Washington was
proud! An Office which Thomas JEFF
ferson and James Madison and John
Quincy Adams and Andrew jackson
gloried in the privilege of filling.
And now look at the beggar on horse
back--the penniless wood-hauler-
despised then, not for his poverty, but
for his gross weaknesses and faults:
coming out in letter and splitting in
the face of the whole American people
and insulting them in the most odious
And offensive manner, and prating upon
the sacrifices" =" sacrifices" -
that's the word-which he--he--HE--
Ulysses S. Grant uses--the sacrifices
ne made in becoming their Chief Mag
istrate!
Out upon the poor fool. Who does
he imagine he is? Let the contempt
of the whole great American people he
has insulted cover him countless faith
oms deepl

he acted like Pacheco, and sank prin-
ciple for nomination, he would have

did what he believed to be his duty in
the last Congress, and his course re-
ceived the approval of all the people of
the State except the creatures of the
monopolies and the Federal brigade.

opponents ''Send me your paper. l
know that you oppose me, but then l
should like to SEQ your paper every
day. want to see how many lies you
can tell on nlc.'
"General," said the editor, 81 think

shall continue to do SO with all the

He was II man after Jackson's own
heart, and he instantly replied, "Sir,
send me your paper, for aside from
your abuse of me your paper isa good
one. Besides, never saw II newspa-
per in which ! could not find some.

The New York Times, in an article
commenting on Bccchcr's testimony,
after rejoicing that the latter was able
to deny the charges against him, says ::
On the other hand, it is clear from
Mr.. Bccchcr'S own narrative, that
TiltOn himself bcieycd in the truth of
these charges, and that Mr.. Bcechcr
was we'll aware of that fact. Moreover,
Mr.. Bccchcr seems to admit-aS he did
before the Plymouth Church Commit
tcc-that Mrs. Tilton had acquired !,
strong affection for him. "lf," said
Mr. Beechcr, "shc (NIrs. Tilton) did not
know that the tcndrils of her affection
We're creeping up upon me, / ought to
have known it," He also aclnowIcd
gcd that the "contiitiou and action of
Mrs. Triton" proved that he had
"wrongcd'' Triton in his family rela-
tions, though unintcntionally. All
this is Il much more probable cXplana-
ton of the quarrel than the surmisc
that TiItOn invented the charges as Il
means of matchmaking. But what Il
pity it is that they could not have set
tied it among each other without all
this horrible scandal !

Boston paper reports the following
almost incredible case. Whether an
external application of carboiic acid
had the effect described Or not, there is
no doubt of its great power and dan
gerous character in many cases:
a physician in Mcdford, Mass, last
week recommended u lady who was
threatened with Il fclon, to saturatc II
cloth with c:irbnlic acid and bind her
finger in it. she did as directed, and
when she looked at hcr finger the next
morning it was black and dead. II is
said that the physician, II man nearing
middle age, who has practiccd for scv-
eral years in Mcdford, could only say
that he had made Il mistake. The aid
of other medical men was sought and
everything was done, but all to no
purpose, and she was obliged TO have
the finger amp,,tated below the second
joint This loss is particularly trying,
as she has been considered Il fine must
clan. The husband threatens the ply
stefan with prosecution.

This disease has become so prevalent
that readers generally are SO familiar
with it that they are only surprised
when they do not find details of Il self
murder in their daily papers. The
latest case is that OF Charles BcndiN,
who took n killing dose of poison early
yesterday morning ut his home, No.

attributed to poverty. Deceased came
from Nlayence, Germany, in 1917, and
has been u resident Of this city ever
since. The last position he held was
vice president of the Tcutonia Nations
al Bank, and in that institution inves-
ted all his means, which ruined him
financially. This tried him sorely ,aud
several days ago his household proper
ty was seized for debt, which proved
too great u blow for him to bear. On
several occasions he said il his worldly
affairs did not improve he would cor
tain1y commit suicide; indeed he once
or twice before procured poison, but
the fact was discovered. After that he
was closely watched, as his relatives
and friends feared he would execute
his threat. Yesterday morning he left
his bed before five O'Clock and took u
drink Of water, then laid down again
and told his wife that he wished to

their troubles, expressing the hope that
their circumstances would soon change
for the better. She then Went to n
