A wild story is current in 0wings-
vile, Ky, Of a man floating over the
place in the air. Several persons de-
clare that they saw hun. A woman
describes him as making cxtfayagant
gestuses awhile, and then rising out Of
sight. One theory is that he was Wise,
The missing aefonaut; that he nad let
himself down by rope from h.s bal
loon, which tue startled spectators
failed to see, in the hope Of ellecting a
landing.

The celebrated pigeon roost in Scott
county, Indiana, is now, as it has been
for seventy five years, the roost Of mil
lions OF pigeons. They fly away in the
morning to their feeding grounds, and
many Of them going to such distance
that they DO not return until midnight.
The timber on thousands Of arres COW
cred by this roost IS broken down bad
ly, large limbs being snapped of like
reeds by the accumulated weight Of the
birds Thousands are kalel nightly,
but the slaughter seems TO make no di-
minution in the vast doeks that congre-
gate there.

Sanitary.

Some persons think that the present is
not the proper time to clean up refuse
matters from the alleys; that while it lies
dormant it can be disinfected and that to
stir it up will be likely to promote cholera;
that the weather is so warm that it would
be impossible to sufficiently famigate the
atmosphere while the work is going on.
There is good deal of the sensible ia the
suggestion to let refuse matter rest
but it would seem that if the
disinfectiug is done as soon as
the stirring and cleaning process
begins, danger of epidemic diseases can be
avoided. 1t is stated 10 support of the
theory that it is best to let the refuse lie
still, that until they began cleaning the
alleys OF Memphis, no yellow fever APP
pesred, and that when the work began
disinfection was impossible. There is M
such accumulation in Rock Island as il
Memphis, however, but still, the bes
means Of preserving the health of the city
should be carefully considered especially
10 these times when epidemic diseases are
so prevalent,

Bleeding TO Death,

What came very near proving fatal
casualty happened az the post-ofice this
morning about 10 o'clock. James Maho
ney, stone cutter, a man between SO and
60 years old, has been suffering for more
than three years with a sore on his leg
near the ankle. He was bit by q dog
some three years ago, and the wound
turned to sore and has never properly
healed-in fact the bone has partially de-
oayed, To-day when going into the post
office he hit his sore against a piece of
plank, and it began bleeding, leaving
bloody tracks wherever he stepped, He
made his way to the river bank and was
tracked there by Officer Brennan, who
found him in a faintinG condition. With the
assistance of P. d. Drake, he was taken
care of until the arrival Of DR.. g. G. Car
ter who dressed his wound and then had
him conveyed to his home in Greenbush,
by Officer Brennan, He had severed an
artery and in FIVE minutes time without
medical assistance he would have died
As it was, had it not been for the ekllful
attention received from Doctor Carter, the
chances are that he would have been a
corpse. He was doing we'll when last
heard from.

Ponds Extract,

Prejudice is sometimes apt to inter fere
with our comfort 10 life. and to cause us
to do injustice to some worthy article or
object, This was exemplifed in the ex.
perience of very worthy lady, a short
time ago.
Her daughter was firm believer In the
efficacy of PoND's EXTRACT, but such was
the elder lady's prejudice against it, term
ing it a quack medicine, she would not al.
low it in the house.
1t happened that the mother severely
burned her hand with the tire-poker, anc
while suffering intensely, the younger lady
without iutimatating her intention, dressed
her hand with the Extract, from bottle
she kept secreted iu her own room. Relic
from pain was instantaneous. and the re-
suit was marvellously satisfactory; ant
when the patient was made acquainte,
with the remedy doing her SO much good
she acknowledged herself 10 the wrong
and ever afterward was warm advocat
of PoND's EXTRACT.
The Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1877-1885, 1879-07-30
California,

The muddled condition of California
politics has become more so, if possible. by
the espousal of the candidacy of DIR.
Glenn, democratic candidate. BY Cor
ham, the ex.secretary of the United
States senate, and one of the most uncom-
promising stalWarts in the republican |
party. TWAS Gorham who engineered the
political assessment business in 1878, and |
paid Pomeroy to organize greenback clubs
to divide the democratic party. 1t was
his manipulation of the work as secretary
of the national republican committee that
led to the appointment of the horde OF
federal supervisors in New York and Gin
cinnati in lS78-in fact there was no dirty
work 10 the way of management that
augured for the success of the republican
party which Gorham was not ready and
willing to assume. In support of bis posi-
ton he says
II choose to support for governor. Hugh
J. Glenn. (Applause.) This | do because
believe him to be more worthy than any
other candidate that has been named. l
am radical republican, therefore demo
lcrats must expect me to say what think,
You could as we'll make Mohammedan of
hard-shell Baptist as make democrat of
me, but my devotion to my party shall not
be dragged through the mire to sustain
| private and corrupt interests. The demo-
cratic state central com mittee declared
| this afternoon, by vote OF % to 7, that
DIR. Glenn suits them, and pin my faith
upon him to remove this railroad anaconda
from the body polite
!, Of course Gorham's support will add
largely, perhaps, to GlenD's vote, in fact
that genteman's election may be regarded
as almost certain, ii indeed any doubt has
eyer existed, but this sudden conversion
of Gorham, looks like large sized piece of
''nigger in the wood-pile," and must be
received with caution.
While he may support Glenn, he may
still have further object in view-that of
securing the place of Senator Booth, whose
;, term expires in 1881, but whose successor
will be elected in 1880. Should the consti

!. islature, Mr. Gorham, might be able to
run 10 professedly as an exponent of the
principles Of THAI party, and then, alter
i his election, snap his fingers at those who
J. elected him aud swing around for his frs
:, love--a full fedged staIwart of the mos
: improved stripe. Politicians of Gorham'
calibre have wonderful acrobatic ability il
. political somersaulting and from his rec
ord, he would be entitled to the first prize
], If he is sincere in his advocacy of Glenn't
election, the republicans of California viii
remember his treason and perhaps compe

is a schemer whom democrats canno
afford to trust and whose ptterances o
d fealty can offer very little solace. TherI
y is trick in this Gorham change of heart

willy ex-secretary is playing a strong gam
and will bear close watching.
