FOR PURIFYING THE BLOOD.

This compound of the vegetable alternatives. sar-
sapaIilla, Dock. Stillngia and Mandrake with the
lodides Of Potassium and Iron, makes most effec-
tual cure of series of complaints which are very
prevalent and affecting. 1t purifes the blood,
purges out the lurking humors in the system that
undermine health and settle into troublesome dis

on the surface of humors that should be expelled
from the blood. Internal arrangements are the de-
termination Of these same humors TO some internal
organ. or organs. whose action they derange and

an TmnMdent Thief.

The Natchez Democrat relates the
following of one of its most enterpris
ing and impudent thieves:
The premises of lady living on
South Rankin street were invaded. a
few nights ago, by one of the most dar
ing and impudent thieves on record.
While prowling around the place he
was heard by one of the inmates OF the
house, who went out to see what was
the matter. He was seen by the thief,
who hid, and the gentleman hearing no
further noise went back to bed. This
midnight marauder seeing the roast
clear, proceeded to work. Capturing
two chickens, he picked aud cleaned
them. built fire in the stove and put
the fowls or to cook. Leaving the
kitchen either in search of more game
or being frightened off, he did not re-
turn, and the fire died out. The next
morning the chickens were found as he
had left them. This attempted robbery
was the most bare-faced and imperti>
nent of any we ever heard of.

An Obscure Chapter of History.

The death of Santa Anna revives
many curious recollections of his Ca
reer. The following from the pen of
Benson J. Lossing sheds light on an
obscure chapter of history:
"a war with Mexico, which claimed
jurisdiction over her regolted colony,
was the result of the annexation of
Texas. Preparation had been made for
it by the President aud his Cabinet
Santa Anna was then an exile in Cuba.
Secret arrangements were made with
him to betray his country into our
hands The plan was simple. The
President was to send strong army OF
observation toward the frontier of Mex
leo. Santa Anna was to go into that
country, when an army of defense had
gathered near the Rio Grande. That
army would pronounce for him. The
war was then to begin. The President
was to send force sufficiently large in
numbers to make surrender of the
Mexican army to it, at some propi-
tious moment, respectable. This Santa
Anna was to do, and for the service to
receive large sum of money from the
Secret Service Fund in the hands of
the President.
"The army of observation was sent
into Texas under Gen. Taylor, and Sill
dell Mckenzie, of our navy, was sent to
Cuba to perfect the arrangement with
Santa Anna. Instead of going to his re-
treat secretly, Mckenzie, vain as pea
cock, rode out of Havana at MONDAY,
in uolante, fully dressed in the uni>
form OF a Uui..sl States naval officer.
This fully Disconnected the well>laid
plan. After this public display OF
visit from ON officer of the United
States, Santa Anna could not go into
Mexico and fulfill his bargain, for the
act of surrender would be too palpa'
bly, treasonable. This statement make
on the authority OF verbal narrative
given to me by the late Senator Thomas
II. Benton, in February, 1857"

A Nuisance.

Speaking of Fl. NJ. Church's mischief
making letter which we noticed in our
last number, the Magnolia Herald says:
"For the information of the New
York Witness, in which was published
Church's letter. we would say that at
McComb City, in this county. where he
has been residing. and which is filed
ND with nice and respectable people
from all parts of the world almost, and
principally from the Northern States,
n. NJ. Church has forfeited the respect
Of th. cissiisssans by his constant and I'M
placabls siutermeddling r matters whica
did not concern him"
This is true. Our community here is
comdosed of Northern men and South
ern men and people of both parties and
the various Protestant and Catholic de-
nominations. and we believe the feeling
is universal that Church, when he re-
sided with us. was a strife making nuie-
ance, His letter to the New York
Witness defaming the very people who,
in another portion of it, he admits have
treated him with hospitality and kind
ness, is characteristic of the man.

A EooJ Farmer,

& good farmer is not known by the
quantity Of land he cultiyates. Whole
townships held in fee simple, will not
en.itle a man to this distinction. Nei-
ther will costly farm buildings, i'm
ported stock or expensive tools be a
sure Indication of excellence. A good
farmer may own but siugfe acre Unsi
live in an old house. His stock may be
counted by pairs and his tools may be
the most primitive. But he produces
npon the smallest area the best and
largest possible crops. He constantly
improves the quality of the land and
the extent of his wisdom. His corn
crib and smoke house are never empty,
and the compost heap is continually in>
creasing in size. He studies his pro-
fession and tries to attain perfection.
Every good farmer makes it his con-
slant care to improve the quality of his
stock, while increasing its quantity. 1t
costs no more time nor labor to raise u
valuable animal than scrubby one.
The good one is always in request at q
remunerative price, the scrubby one
can scarcely be given away and is a
continual annoyance and shame to its
owner

SaYing Pea Vines rhr Forage.

This should be done before too many
pods have become ripe, so as to prevent
loss in handling So soon as about half
the pods have ripened on tho vine, the
vines should be cut from the roots, and
immediately hauled to the BARI
yard aud scattered, SO that the air can
circulate through the various bundles.
II the corn rows are wide enough, say
seven feet apart, the row of peas being
in the middle, the vines If three lows
may be put into one row, as fodder, the
wagon OF cart taking an empty middle
row and being carefully driven, but q
little corn will be touched by the
wheels. The vines being cnt, they
may be made into bundles by using
hoe or rake, or iron fork, and the bun
dies OF each of the three rows, being
put together in tho center row, will
form bundle of sufficient size for rais>
ing from the ground to the wagon-also
to lie upon the barnyard in depth, so
as to dry asily and thoroughly in two
days of dry weather. The wagon, load
ing in the field with green vines, should
be started at one end of row and go
forward to the other end, unless a road
or travelled path should intersect, 80
that as little corn as possible shall be
thrown upon the ground. As many
as four heap rows may be carried along
together to load the wagon, and tho
bundles OF vines may be nicely man
aged with iron forks; thus, nearly all
the all the wastage of leaves and broken
off peas will be LETT i'll the barnyard,
where pigs may hold feast rs long rs
the cleaning lasts. In this way more
and much better forage can be saved In
one day than the same hands oould save
in fodder IN five or six days. a slight
sprinkling of salt thrown upon the va
rious turns or bundles as they are
being packed away into the barn VIII
add greatly to their value. Ii rain
should fall upon the vines in the barn
yard before they have dried, the bun
dies should be turned over, OF a rack
made by polls resting upon forks set
into the ground, and the vines thrown
across, and there remain until they are
in condition for packing away into the
barn. When being used as forage,
these bundles shouid be cut to pieces
say by common chop-axe across
beam in the barn-and may then be
easily cut finer through straw-cutter.
The crop of fodder is so small this sea-
son that farmers would do well to look
to their pea vines.

SEVERAL negroes were together Ia
Campbell county, Virginia. few days
ago, during thunder storm. and the
question as to whether there was God
came up for discussion. One of
them, seconded by comoanion, vehe-
mentlv opposed the idea of the existence
of God or any fear of His action or
control. During the conversation a
bolt of lightning killed the two who OPP
posed the Scriptural doctrine, and oniy
slightly injured the others. But tlAe
strangest part is to be told. Upon the

The foregoing table has had no equal
:, the recolllection of the oldest inhab-
itants of this city, except in 1929, when
thirteen mechanics were sun-struck
while working on the old Musical Fund
Hall. and when, it is said, number OF
light frame sheds in the district OF
Kensington were ignighted by the in
tense heat. In that season there were
two hundred and twenty deaths from
sunstroke, and many who were COM
pelled to do business out of doors were
in various ways seriously affected. The
highest point to which the mercury then
ascended was one hundred and pine, in
the shade.

ke. ,tsreet line fell dead at their posts

only true one in the city. Advice from
distant points record the temperature
of yesterday at seventy-seven degrees,
at Galveston. Texas; ninety-two degrees

YESTERDAYS BAKING.

Day OF Hot Weather that has Not

I
Been EquaIlcd for Nearly Half a Cen
tury-Results Of the High Tempera-
| turo.
Not since the Summer of 1892 have
Philadelphians been so roasted and
broiled as they were yesterday. Sat
urday was bad enough. when the heat
struck men aud horses down in the
streets with pitiless indiscrimination,
but the blistering heat was at times re-
Ilieyed of its deadliness by cooling
zephyrs from the Southwest. Yester>
day there was little of this relief. From
early dawn the hot breath Of old Sol
was blown upon the earth, and at noon
lay--the cobble stones, house sides and
payements sent forth seething atmos-
phere, snch ss might be experienced in
the region of the Tophet. For this
excellent reason the laborers in the
vineyard of the Lord were few. It was
decidedly too hot to preach and to under
take the gentlest warbling in tho way
of church music would have been dis
astrous to stiHfest collar imaginable.
Upon the railroad companies there was
little damage, and, as consequence,
the iaded animals who did such noble
work the day before were treated to a
few hours of comparative rest. On the
lines of the Fourth and Eighth, Green
and Coats, Market, Arch and Chestnut
and Walnut streets considerable reduc-
tions we re made in the number of cars,
and even in the few Vehicles permitted
to make trips there was little attraction
| to the public.
THE PARK EMPTY.
Fewer persons never visited the Park
since it was first opened, and not even
to the inviting shades of Red Bank,
Glouster, or any other numerous ephe-
neral watering places which dot the
| river Delaware were visitors drawn.
The prospect of refreshing GOODNESS at
these points was by no means sufficient
to tempt sensible people to the broiling
experience which would necessarially
be encountered in the journey to and
fro. 1t was duty when people who
owned homes with bath tubs remained
in them, committing to adventurous
souIs without home with bath-tubs in
them the solution of the much -agltated
conundsums touch ;ng the remarks OF
the wild waves. 1t was mainly IN cons
seouen 20 of this almost universal seclu-
sion that cases of sun n-stroke were few
Yesterday; and among those who were
forced into the streets the ambition to
walk at q higher rate of speed than
snail's. pace was not great. Of the
many corpulent Teutons, to whom, as II
general thing, the advent OF hot wealth
er is a finrncia' godsend, there were few
wao di.l good business. In word,
it was bad day for beer. To people
WHO did not venture into the streets 1t
NAV be interesting to know that at /
n. m. the thermometer stood at one
hundred and eighteen degrees in the
sun, and that it's mutations throughout
the day. in shady places, were as fol-
lows:
