ALMOST a FATAL ACClDEyT

Last evening as county constable VIM.
b. Hickman was engaged in eating a
piece of sponge cake at the supper table
he took sup of tea and in swallowing it
crumb of the cake lodged in his wind
pipe. He was seized with violent fit OF
coughing which produced strangulation
from the effects of which he remained iIl-
sensible for over an hour. DR.. Snitcher
was hastily summoned, and after several
attempts he succeeded in removing the
obstruction from the windpipe thereby
saving Mr.. Hickmans' life. This morning
Mr.. Hickman is able to attend to his Of
fetal duties although he still remains very
weak from the violent fit of coughing.

.'By their Works ye Shall Know
Them"

The Irishman who thought the drug
gist stingy because the emetic was so
small, is only surpassed in his parsimo-
NOUS drollery by those who persistently
adhere to the use OF those nauseating,
disgusting large and drastic pills, while
DR.. Pierce's Pleasant PlrgdtiUe Pellets
which are sngar-coated, and little larger
thanmustard seeds, will, by their steady
and gentle action on the liver, correct
all torpidity, thus permanently overcom-
ing constipation. In South America
they have almost entirely superseded all
other pills, and are relied on fully by the
people and often used as preventive
of the various affections of the stomach,
liver and bowels, so prevalent in that
climate. lPierce's Memorandum Books

THE HAYES DEMOCRACY.
kUMoRs OF COMBINATION WITH REPUR-
LICANs TO ORGANIZE THE
NEXT HOUSE.

NEXT HOUSE.
WASHINGTON, March 16.-A curious
report is afoat to-day, crediting Mr.. Nc
Pherson of Pennsylvania with the remark
that he expected to be elected Clerk by
the next Democratic House. Such an
expectation could only be part of a
manmuvre by which the Hayes Demo-
cracy is to have the Speaker nominating
some Southern man, hitherto Demo-
crat, for whom the Republicans would
vote receiving the Clerkship and suit
able recognition on the committees in re-
turn. The existence of the Hayes De-
mocracy means simply that Hayes's Ad-
| ministration is to be an administration of
great prizes, and The South or some men
| in the South propose to stand in at the
divide. The success of such combina-
tion in the next Congress was to be a
Congress of great jobs, IN which the
Hayes Democracy proposes to share, the
Texas Pacific to begin with. Clear-headed
well informed, well-ballasted Democrats
South scout the idea that such coalition
could succeed. They predict straight
out fight in the Democratic caucus and
straight-out election of the winning man
W lne Cpedhersnlp. Ollll lne reports exist
and have their basis. Hooker of Missis-
sippi is one ofthe men mentioned, but it
is scarcely probable that he would lend
himself to any such combination. AT
present Adams appears to be the only
Democratic candidate for Clerk. Others
will doubtless appear. Taking the Drew
Nichols and Hampton certificates-and
if Hayes recognizes the last two as he has
the first nothing else can be done-the
next House stands on the organization,
152 Democrats to 141Republicans, allow
ing one Democrat in New Hampshire.

BESIEGING THE POSTMASTER.

ANOTHER CLOUD OF oFF1CE-sEEKERs
WHO WILL HAVE TO BE DISAPPOINTED.
WASHINGTON, March 16.-The init
nations that the patronage in the South
will be given to Democrats and Republ-
cans in that section alike has attracted
hither an appalling influx of Southern
Democrats. This new departure has un-
earthed formidable array of ante-bel-
lum office-holders, and Postmaster Cen
eral Key has his hands full. As there is
no disposition to make changes except
for cause, this inroad from the South will
not accomplish much. The Northern Of
fice-hunters were disposed of last week in
the same way.

WASHINGTON. March 1R.

WASHINGTON, March 16.
The opposition to the confirmation
OF Fred Douglas to the position of
Marshal of the District-a position
which corresponds to the sheriff of a
county-still continues and increases
with each hour. The weight of the
pressure against him does not come
from those entertaining old notions in
regard to the "color line," but it seems
that he is objected to on other grounds,
which are being presented to the Presi-
dent with the view of having him with
draw the nomination. There seems to
be very general feeling among those
OF his own color against him, and they
say the President need not think he is
a representative of their class-''be-
lng," as one of them expresses, it. "of
another breed of negroes-kid-gloved,
and associating with whites on all oc-
casions."

THE CoLoRED MEMS CHOICE.

The colored people of Washington
are pressing the President to appoint a
former Mayor of the city, Sayles J .
Bowen "a white man). to the position
Of Commissioner of the Districts, for
the reason that Bowen, when he was
in executive authority here, took spe-
eial pains to give the negroes all the
work ON the streets he could, in con-
tradlstinction to the contractors
brought in by the Shepherd regime,
who filled the city up with strange
colored laborers from other places, and
thus increased the poverty and priva-
tions OF the regular residents. They
are therefore afraid that the President,
by appointing Douglas, will consider
his duty done towand TIE colored peo-
pie, and refuse the appointment which
they really want. They say, too,
though Douglas nominally lives here
he is not identified with the interests
of the colored people here at all.
