For some time, aclerk In DR.. Gatlcn's
drugstore at Sutton, a young man named
Bergeron, has been amusing himself by
putting explosive chemicals in mortar
and getting the uninitiated to pound them
until an explosion took place. On Thurs
ite trick as on a young French@an ms named ,%u
Joseph Longley, who lives near Mawcook,
whom he favored with . heavier charge
than usual. When the explosion occurred
the man was knocked over, while the NOR
tar was driven through the counter, Sc
riously damaging it, and bottles and glass
ware also suffered. The man was picked
up insensible and unable to hear or see,
and very faint hopes are entertained of
his recovery. Such tricks cannot be too
strongly condemned, and, probably, an
example will be made in the case which
may prove warning to Others.-Cosoans-

Stock Gambling In San Francisco.

EVERYTHING is not gold that glittcrs, es.
pecially in San Francisco, and San Fran
cisco is California, just AZ Paris is France.
All the wealth and commerce, all the mis-
cry and poverty, center in San Francisco.
To casual observer San Francisco seems
Paradise. To the careful student of its
institutions and resources it is silvered
sepulcher, for which Nevada furnishes
the silvering and the dear public the
corpse. And the sepulcher islfast filling up
with the corpses of the killed at the
Stock Exchange. Everything written
about the wonderful resources and the
immense advantages offered here are Gre
atoms of fancy. Hundreds of men with
capital, large and small, continually ar
rive here, lured on by the highly-colored
reports of the advantages enjoyed here,
only to find that their credulity has proved
stronger than their sense. And when they
find that ordinary investments are not as
remunerative as they supposed, they do a.
thousands have done before and thou.
sands will do hereafter-they gamble in
stocks; yet they can easily find out that the
proportion of those making fortunes to
those. that lose them is about one to q
thousand.
Stock gambling is mania here. The
grocer who sells pennyworth of tea also
sells and buys stocks. The eminent mer-
chant who disposes of the product of
other countries examines the stock report
as carefully as he does his invoices. Every
boot black is an embryo stock. broker, and
every waiter an expectant millionaire.
The daily papers are examined more
closely for stock quotations than for the
news. and the paper having the largest
circulation is the Stock Reporter. The
state of the weather, whether cold or
warm, whether rain or sunshine, makes
no apparent difference to the San Francis
can. He is insensible to Natures beau
ties, and watches only one variation, and
that of the stocks he deals in. The San
franciscan, in fact, sees the world through
stock prospectuses and stock reports. Yet
he considers himself blessed over other
mortals, and occasionally tells you 90.
Outwardly considered, he is q fair speci-
men Of humanity. He Is we'll built, and
broad shouldered, and If he ID not. his
tailor soon makes him 20. He d generally
we'll dressed, wears . clean shift, occs.
sionally drinks twenty. dvs.cent cham.

4 Result Of Obstrueted Digestion.

Among the hurttul consequences of OBJ

best medical authorities, sometimes causes
asphyxia, it is apparent that to improve the
quality Of the blood by promoting digestion
and assimilation, is wise precaution. Hos
letters Stomach Bitters is precisely the rem.
edy for this purpose, since it stimulates the
gastric juices, conquers those bilious and
evacuative irregularities which interfere

that prove it? Many suffering with Catarrh

Avorthless preparations that crowd the mar.

Does it not rather prove that they have failed

thousands of people in the United States

Tne Gravel ROAD TaIk.

Mr.. EDITOR is your talk about BULL

you to agitate the subject until the com
panles assume real form. | don't know
that your idea of "gravel roads is prac-
tlcal altogether, because of the difficulty
OF getting the gravel out to distant parts.
fear 1t would make the road too costly.
Such-a road might be practical down the
oluHs, on the Dyersburg road. But, If
you mean to organize a company to build
gooi Nc Admired roads, allowing the use
OF gravel, timber, ditching, and any and all
means the best and most available, then |
am with you, and willing to take stock
ON any fair plan.
One more question VIII the town of
Hickman, gravel her streets to the cor
porate limits, and meet the companies

FARMER.
Farmer catches the idea exactly. One
thing we want TO note, aud that is that
our farmers are always quick to encour-
age any enterprise for the material adj
vancement of the country. What old
fogyism, or down iu-the mouth-ism, there
is, exists right in Hickman; and general
~ from that class who live in terror of
being called upon to help some enterprise
and hence to excuse their own illiberali-
ty, they oppose or discourage any new
enterprise; and then if it does fail, they
come out of their shells as marvcliously
wise men, and say 81 told you So" We
are not authorized TO answer rs to what
Hickman will do, but certainly think the
town will DO as much as our correspondent
suggests.

AN AMUSING QUARREL.-An anu
sing and harmless little quarrel, occurred
between two of our home farmers, saur-
day, from which perhaps a lesson of profit
may be learned. The older one insisted
that there were ''more lazy, thriftless
farmers, in FIVE miles square around
Hickman, than any where in the same
space in the United States" The younger
asserted, that while that might be so,
they had justly "inherited these quail
ties from the older ones who didn't live so
close to town" The friends finally agreed
that nothing personal was intended, and
that each knew the other was all right;
but that their neighbors were not as spir-
tied and enterprising as they should be;
and that they would go home 90 to work,
and strive to buoy their neighbors up to
more industry, more enterprise, and try
