Col. AKERs, the Independent
candidate for Congress, was in
GAINESVILLE this week and made a
speech on the public square on
Wednesday night. Not having
been appraised Of his purpose, we
were not there, and fear that we
lost some things worth hearing.
For instance, he avOwed, we are
informed, that for five years while
connected with the State banks he
had been making $1,000 a month
unrighteously at the expense of the
people. On this account he claimed
to be the right man to wind up the
National banks as a swindling con-
Germ, OF the principle, we suppose,
of the adage "set thief to catch a
thief" We do not dispute his facts,
but must demur to his conclusion.
We may employ one of a gang as
States evidence to ferret out case
of burglary, but we do not after
wards place him in charge of the
store that was robbed. No, no;
Col. House will attend that business
for us.

ARMED MEN,
why a Drummer's Jaw Dropped.
Richmond XVI Eeyister.

The Richmond stage drove up to
the Phoenix Hotel in Lexington,
and two drummers got into it.
There was a preacher on the front
seat and a heavily vailed woman on
the back seat. One of the drum
mers took the middle seat, and the
other could have done so, but he
seemed to prefer the back seat, and
accordingly sat down by the young
woman. Soon he began to talk,
and at length got into a converse
ton with her. The drummer on
the middle seat leaned over and
said to the preacher, that the cheek
of that back-seat drummer was inn
mense, and that he would not be
satisfied till he talked that woman
to death, She was nicely dressed
and talked pleasantly, and appa-
rently was an intelligent lady. The
pi eacher and the middle-seat drum
mer felt sure she would be bored to
insanity if that back-seat drummer
kept up his fusiIade Of jaw. When
near Richmond, he inquired of the
preacher where he would stop. He
said with friend. The middle-seat
drummer said he would stop at the
hotel. Then said the garrulous
drummer to his lady friend, "And
please where will you stop 20 "At
Mr.. Albert Mackey's, l presume,"
she gently answered, land will then
proceed to Berea." Albert, you
will take notice, is a colored gentle
man who keeps an clearinghouse.
That drummer's jaw dropped like
he had heard ghost whispering at
him through the back window of a
WOod-houSe.

aiming the subject that taking the Brit

submitted, it shows that the Canadians
were entitled only to $4,000 annually,
or an aggregate of $1,000 900 for ten
years. This Is less than 800, 900, in.
stead of S. 900, OOo, the amount of the
Halifax award, and against this t is

JUDGING from the weekly resume of
crime in the New York papers, murder is
ON the increase and public indignation on
the secease. The people have become so
used to the tales of blJed that they do
not view them with the horror they should.
The maudlia sentimentsity which in
trudes itself with flowers and tears and
petitions for pardon, the inefficiency Of
the law and the un5ertsinty Of juries
have com bined to aid in this result. The
murderer is not possessed with that fear of
the law which is tie best protection
against violence. If he were his arm
would often be stayed The favors of
the law, the bastard philanthropy, the
sickly tenderness which miserable cut
throats are receiving daily deprives So
ciety of the advantage it had under
hsrsher system. Not that cruelty should
be re established nor harsher measures
used, but that they would be better than

heretofore been discussed in this State to

careful and thorough consideration. A
cursory view of the matter presents sew

HUMBUeGERY.-Fully one half of the
four hundred propositions thus far intro
duced in the Constitutional Convention
may be classed as "buncumbe," while
among them win be found many that are
absolutely ridiculous. OF this latter class
is the following introduced by Mr..
Wiclles on Tuesday last and referred to
the Committee on Legislative Depart
ment
ANY candidate who in any newspaper,
priat or writing announces, or consents
Ia announce his name as "a cand idate for
nomination to any public office, by any
party, club, caucus or Convention, there
by disqIalities himself from holding the
office tor which be thereby is announced
as candidate during the next term
thereof.
That is to say, If a man announces
himself as candidate for any office, or
consents to become candidate when So
licited, he shall be ineligible for said Of
fee even if elected. Was anything ever
more ridiculous AS well might the
brilliant gentleman who introduced the
above say that no laboring man who ap-
plies for work, or who consent to work
when offered a job, shall be allowed to
work at any price or for any length OF
time. Yet there are many propositions
before the Convention which are almost
ms bad as the one quoted. One OF these
provides for the Acknowledgement of every
citizen who employs Chinese labor d.
rectly or Indirectly. This should be fol-
lowed by another condemning to death
any person who attempts to wear more
than one clean shirt month.

A NEW REMEDY FOR RHEUMATISM.
Henry Stanley, a resident Of Antioch,
has suffered severely since June last with
rheumatism. From strong, robust
man be was reduced almost to skeleton;
the JOINTS, especially of the knees, were
stiff and SWOLLEN, the cords and ligaments
contracted, and the case was altogether
serious one. Some one of the butcher
boys suggested to Stanley the idea of
bathing in and drinking blood. Ha was
taken to McMaster's slaughter house and
treated accordingly, with most astenish-
ing results. Placed in position to re-
ceive the warm sunshine, his limbs were
bathed in warm blood, fresh from the
slaughtered animals. AS soon as the
blood was dried upon his legs they were
wrapped in fresh sleeps pet, saother
being bound across the back. He also
drank freely of beef blood. In two days
after commencing this treatment Stan
ley discarded the use of his crutches and
is apparently sound man. He has the
full use of his limbs, the swelled joints
are in natural state, and he daily gains
rapidly in strength. This is to us new
remedy, and whether like results would
follow in all cases of rheumatism is II
matter of conjecture, but it has accom-
plished wonders for Stanley.-Antioch
