Democratic Beyond a Doubt"

THAT'S THE VIEW A LEADING REPUBLI-
CAN TAKES OF OHIO.
Ex-Attorney-G General John Little, OF
Xenia, OHIO, who ran the law shop OF that
State while Hayes was Governor, is in the
city on his way to Europe. Gov. Little
was also visiting statesman and helped
Bill Chandler and Dennis manipulate the
vote of Florida. He also assisted in the
vindication of Index Noyes before the
Potter Committee recently, and all this
goes to show that he has made his mark.
At the Ebbitt House yesterday the Post
invited Gen. Little to unbosom himself
and let the country know what he thought
about politics. BY the way OF "a start the
''Post' put the following questions:
General, what are your views III regard
10 the Ohio CANVASS from a Republican
Standpoint ?''
"Well. to be candid with you,'' he re-
plied, IL regard the stu ,tion as doubtful,
exec dinghy doubtful. Ii the Republicans
carry the STATE it will be by a very small
margin and | am Very much afraid the
margin will al W on the other side.''

cans are not only intent upon remaining
away from the polls themselves, but they
are working vigorously to induce others to
do likewise
''How do you estimate the next delega-
tioE in Congress?"
''Oh, it will be Democratic, beyond q
doubt; nobody pretends to dispute that -
s'Will the Nationals elect any Congress
men ?''
"Oh, no. They will not be very strong
in this canvass, except in a few of the
cities. They will develope great deal of
strength in Toledo, but not sufficient to
elect Congressman"
(which party will they draw most OF
their strength from?"

parties. Take the whole State and think

"Geueral how do you think the Forty

of that. The solid South will send up a
solid delegation, and the Democrats will

A Cannon Fire Cracker Exploded in Boys
Mouth.

A little five-year- son of Mr.. Abram
S. Williams of Westtield, n. j., met with
a terrible calamity, Thursday, shortly af-
ter noon. He was standing on the side
walk, when another boy came up and
said:
"Open your mouth and shut your eyes,
And I'll give you something to make'yOu wise"
The little fellow innocently opened his
mouth and shut his eyes, when the other
lad placed the end of Il lighted cannon
fre-cracker in his mouth. It:exploded
almost instantly, knocking the poor boy
backwards to the ground. He was i'm
mediately raised and taken into Gales
pharmacy. A hasty examination by Drs.
Gale and kinch showed that the entire
front of the lads face had been fairly
blown to pieces. One of his cheeks was
torn open clear back to the ear, and the en-
tire lower part of his face Was shattered in
a most terrible manner. His teeth were
all knocked out and his lower jaw broken.
When picked up, smoke was curling out
from his mouth, and large part OF tie
fire. cracker was found to have been blown
there. 1t was extricated, but not before
the interior Of the mouth Was burned
back into the throat.
The little sufferer was placed under the
Influence of ether and the torn and
mangled flesh was laid back as well as
medical skill could be expected and his
life will probably be saved.
The boy who did all this mischief is said
to be named Mcneil. 1t is not knowl,
whether he placed the cracker in the VIC
TINS mouth knowing it to be lighted and
out of pure mischief, or, only picked it
up in the street and did not see that it was
about to explode. The former is believed
to be the more reasonable hypothesis.
The child alluded to above is the grand
son of Mrs. Daane of the First Ward in
Alexandria, Va, who has gone to West
field to attend upon the little sufferer.

CAMP MEETING GROUND.

SOME OF THE BEAUTIES OF ROUND LAKE
CAMP MEETING GROUND.
Round Lake, New Y ork, shows constant
progress as the main feature of its history.
Ten years ago it was desolated grove,
chosen by local camp meeting association
as convenient place to pitch tents and
enjoy week of Christian fellowship. Last
year it had become a village of tents and
cottages, with well laid avenues, springs
of fresh and mineral waters, gas and drain
age, and assumed, not improperly, to be. a
national religious resort, attracting visi-
tors from all parts of the country. This
year it has added unto itself a hotel and a
tunnel, new avenues and cottages, mini
ature park and city, and is named by an
enthusiastic clergyman the Christian Sar.
atoga of America.

through Palestine this afternoon in half an
hour, beginning at the southern shore of
the Dead Sea, reaching the Mediterranean
at the port Of Tyre, skipping across several
inferior mountains, and finishing at Da-
mascus. Rev. Mr.. Wythe, WHO construc-
ted this wonderful land, halloWed by SO
many associations, joined me in making
the ascent of Mount Hermon, the feat be-
ing accomplished within two minutes.
From Hermon's height we looked down up
On Palestine. Issuing from its cave at
Herfnon's base, the river Jordan trickled
down toward the Sea of Galilee, thence
flowed with increasing current along its
| many winding pathway to the rock-imbed
ed Dead Sea. Round Lake is made to
serve as the Mediterranean, and there were
both fishermen and batherS, life size, along

The labor involved in the construction
Of tie park may be judged from the fact
| that Mr.. Wythe, aided by 100 workmen,
has been engaged since March, and barely

for study OF the Holy Land, aided by the
present spectacle.

drake Pills is sur to preventan
attack of billiousness, when q short
neglect of the warning symptoms
may develop q serious case of fever,
either bilious, intermittent or
typhoid.
Schenck's Mandrake Pills remove
all causes Of biliousness, promptly
start tho secretions Of the liver, and
give healthy tone to the entire
system. It is no ordinary discovery
in medical science to have found a
harmless cure for this stubborn
complaint, which accomplishes all
the results heretofore produced by
free use of calomel, mineral
Justly dreaded by mankind, and
acknowledged to bo destructive in
the extreme to the human system.
That the properties of certain vege--
tables comprise MI tho virtues of
calomel without it's injurious quali~
ties, is now an admitted fact, rcn-
dered indisputable by scientific tests.
Those who use the Mandrake Pills
will be fully satisfied that the best
medicines are those provided by
nature in the common herbs and
roots of the fields.
These Pills open the bowels and
correct all bilious arrangements
without salvation or any of the in
furious effect of calomol or other
poisons. The secretion of magic
bile is regulated as will DO seen by
the altered color Of the stools, the
disappearance of tho sallow COM
plexion and the cleansing Of tho
tongue.
Ample directions for use ac-
company each box of pills. Pro.
