AN NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. SENSATION SPOILED.
by TELEGRAPH TO THE HERALD
NEWPORT, r. l., Oct 20, 1877.
The sensation In reference 10 tho appointment OF
two postmasters at Wakefield, r. Lone by Postmaster
General Key and the other by MI Tyner, Assistant
Postmaster General. and which has been delicious
morsel for the democratic and anti-admnistration
papers-has been clectualy disposed OF. 1t appears
that Jesse Van Buren Watson Is the only authorized
Postmaster, and that Elisha w. Cross, although
appointed, was never commissioned, and he failed
even 10 forward his bonds 1t Is SAID that
a rcmonstrance numerously signed wag forwarded 10
Washington against the appointment OF Cross anu tho
following official order placed record at the
Post once Department at once:-"Appoint Watson In
place OF Cross, not commissioned" This was dated
August ID The frieuds of Cross have stated in the
articles referred TO that his appointment was revoked
because voted Tor tho democratic ticket IN the lato
Presidential election, and that on this ground the
"radca iaclion OF the party In this state had inter-
iered aud had secured the appointment OF somebody
else. Tho facts in the case do not bear out these
statements. Messrs. Key aud Tyner wero in ul
cord, and the former telegraphed from Vermont,
where he company with the Presidential party,
directing that ason should bo put in the place oi
Cross and answered. that such change had already
been Iiade
Watson has entered upon the duties OF tho Office,
and Is not likely TO be disturbed.

You culled the fairest flowers of rose
Tipped May,
Aad kindly sent them on their mission
way,
To make more glad the Aeotly flying
hours,
With Natures sweetest gift of fragran t
flowers.
They sped their way irem lands with
skies of blue,
From lands where love is tender, warm
and true.
Tkey drifted to the threshold of my heart.
Then softly raised the latch and wan
dered thro.
pray your woman::s life may ever be
As brightly hued as flowers you send to
me.
And may the shrouded future, dim with
runo,
Bring only paths of besuty-blOssom-
strewn.
For tho long miles our ways may lie
apart
You bridge the gulf with flowers, from
heart to heart.

The Great Rain Storm.

Last Friday was close, rainy day,
but that night and early Saturday morn
ing the rainfall was greater than at any
oce time within The recollection of our
oldest citizens. The heavens seemed to
open and pour its torrents of water upon
the earth. Four and half inches of
water fell within the short space Of four
hours. Branches and creeks overlooked
and rushed over lowgrounds and mead
Ows, destroying cotton and corn over a
large area of country: Near town Kear-
ney's and JoneH' mills were seriously in
jured, and some weeks must elapse be-
fore work can be resumed. Mt. PItser
Miller's mill on the Hatchie, was almost
submerged. His we'll known energy say
ed an immense quantity of lumber and
logs that had become blocked in the cur
rent of the river. So much heavier was
the rain between Whiteville and Browns
vile than above Bolivar, that the Hatch
ie river for time flowed up stream, a
remarkable occurrence. We hope, how
ever, the damage done the crops may
not be as great as feared.

Good ADVICE.

Now is the time of year for Pneu-
monia, Lung Fever, etc. Every family
should have a bottle of Boschces Ger
man Syrup. Don't allow for one mo
ment that cough to take hold of your
child, your family or yourself. Con
sumption, Asthma, Pneumonia, Group,
Homorrhages, and other fatal diseases
may set in. Although it is true German
Syrup is curing thousands of these
dreaded diseases, yet it is much better
to have it at hand when three doses will
cure you. One bottle will last your
whole family winter and keep you safe
from danger. If you are consumptive
do not rest until you have tried this
remedy. Sample bottles 10 cents. Regu
