Paper Hanging.

We would urge the necessity, from a
sanitary point of view. of having the
walls of aroom thoroughly stripped of all
old paper and washed and dried before
laying on a new paper. Old papers,
containing as they do a large amount
of vegetable and animal matter in the
form of size, are easily softened by
moisture, and are then subject to pu-
t~refaction and mildew, the odor
from which is both unpleasant and un-
healthy. This. however, is an evil that
can easily be ayerted by expanding a
few dollars in stripping and thoroughly
cleaning the wall before each repaper-
ing. Inquiry is often made by the
careful housewife as to whether paper
hangings will clean, and, if SO, which is
the best method to adopt. Good hand
printed paper will clean, but machine
made paper, owing to the material used in
sizing the colors, as already explained,
will not. The following is the method
that can be used: Gut into four or six
parts a moderate-sized loaf of bread
that is two days old-it must be neither
newer nor staler. With one of these
pieces, after blowing off all the dust
from the paper to be cleaned with a
good pair Of bellows, begin at the top
of the room, holding with the crust in
the hand and wisping lightly downward
with the crumb, about half a yard at
each stroke, till the upper part of the
hanging is completely cleaned all
around. Then go around again, with a
light sweeping stroke downward, and
always commencing each successive
curse a little higher than the upper
stroke had extended, till the bottom is
finished. This operation, if carefully
performed, will frequently make very
old paper look almost equal to new
Great caution must be used not by any
means to rub the paper hard, or to at.
tempt cleaning it in a lateral or hori'
zontal way. The dirty part of the
bread, too, must each time be cut away
and the pieces renewed as soon as il
may become necessary. Cabinet

Wealth of the Bonapartes.

The first Napoleon endowed all his
family splendidly, as the master of Eu-
rope might have been expected to do.
The records of st. Helena show that a
sum variously estimated at from $780,
100000 to $10O, 0OO, 600 of our money
at the command of the exiled EN-
peror in Amsterdam, Frankfort and
London. Notwithstanding the idle
stories which have been current for
years as to the pecuniary embarrass-
ments of Napoleon I'LL, before he
became ruler of France, it is abso-
lutely certain that at the death of his
father, the ex-King of Holland, at Leg
horn, in 1916, he inherited a very hand
some property. He had always en-
joyed, too,a liberal allowance from his
father, excepting for a time after the
affair of Strasburg, of which the ex-
King entirely disapproved. Joseph
Bonaparte died immensely rich, as did
Lucien also, and Jerome was wealthy,
not only through the iberality of his
brother, but in the right of his wife, a
Princess of Wurtemberg. The fortunes
Of the Bonapartes came by the scepter
and the sword, like a good many other
fortunes.

Kentucky Rlood.I1ettinx.

1t is said that the Underwood war in Ken
lucky is now raging at a higher fever heat
than ever before. Four assassinations occurred
two years ago among the Underwoods. A
special to the Cincinnati Commercial, of last
Saturday, says: Until two months ago, mat
ters seemed to be quiet enough, but then one
of the Underwoods was foully murdered by the
opposing party. Strange to say, the Under
woods withheld from revenge. Two weeks ago,
George Lewis Underwood died from his
wounds received in the war two years
ago, and it seems that in order to
revenge his death, Squire Holbrook, the leader
of the anti-Underwood party, was shot while
going to his pasture Friday morning. Hol-
brooks sons and clan then turned themselves
loose, and the next report was the killing of
Win Underwood while peaceably at work in his
field Monday morning. Now the news reach
us of the Shooting of George Underwood, ST.,
the father and chief of the Underwood party,
who was killed athis home yesterday morning.

Trouble I'm AfEanistan.

The Ameer writes that the troops at the first
outbreak, after stoning the officers, rushed to
the British Embassy and stoned it. Several
volleys were fired from the Embassy in return.
A second letter from the Ameer, dated Sept. 4,
says 4" Thousands assembled to destroy the
British Embassy. Much life was lost on both
sides. l, with five attendants, was besieged
all day yesterday. Up to noon 1 have no GER
tain news of the Envoy, whether he was
killed in his quarters or captured"
A correspondent at Bombay asserts that
symptoms of discomfort have been noticed at
Cabul for some time, and the bearing of the
p~opulace owards members of the Embassy has
been defiant. The force defending the EN-
bassy numbered seventy-nine. They fought
with the greatest bravery. 1t is said the
Ameer's son was fatally injured. A large
number of mutineers were killed. After the
buildings of the Embassy were fired the sur
survivors sailed out and defended themselves
desperately, but all were killed, including
Major Cavagnari. Intense excitement prevails
throughout India. 1t is believed at Paris and
Vienna the outbreak is due to Russian in
trigue.

The silver Dollar.

A special dispatch from Washington to the
Cincinnati Gazette says:
For two weeks past the contractors have
been using silver dollars freely in paying their
hands. This, with the disbursements from the
Treasury, is making the coin so plenty that
even the most extreme silver advocates are
crying out against it. To-day, the Herald,
always a vigorous silver paper, now calls on the
Treasury to let the silver dollars remain there,
and says there is no necessity for its actual
circulation, and that a metallic currency is in
siderable to a highly civilized people. 1t
styles the payment of 10 per cent. of salaries in
silver dollars an insufferable trick. 1t insists
that no one has asked to have these dollars paid
out, and they were never demanded for a circu-
lating medium.
Hereafter silver dollars and silver eertif-
Gates are to be refused by the Treasury from
national banks on account of the 5 per cent.
fund, or on account of any Indebtedness what
ever due from the banks to the government
except the Indebtedness shall have been O
deposit in kind by some discussing officer in q
national bank as a United States depositary.'

The Innuencc or CIimate.

The influence of climate upon q constitution
subjected to a trying change in atmospheric con-
ditions, in water, and in food, is often marked
and disastrous. Disorders of the bowels and
of the liver, frequently terminating fatally, are
promo to attack the tourist by land or voyager
by sea in unaecustomed lntitudes--more particu-
larly those near the equator. The best medic
inal protection against Irregularities OF the
bowels, stomach and liver, not only from the
above, but whatever cause arising, is Hostel
ter's Stomach Bitters, a medicine in wide and
increasing demand in sultry portions of this
hemisphere, and also in the tropics. Travellers,
emigrants, jewellers and temporary s%ojourners
in malarious districts use it very extensively as
a safeguard.
In former years it was a common occurrence
to find so per cent. of the field hands in Louis
lana, Mississippi and Alabama struck down
with Swamp Fever, Chills and Fever or Dumb
Ague, just during the busiest time of summer.
Now, We are glad to hear that the planters sue
coed in curing every case of the disease in a few
days by the use of DR.. F. Wilirtt's Anti
Periodic OF Fever and Ague Tonic, which is sold
by all druggists through the country.

licans elect Assessor, Cornorer and Buperih-
tsndent of Schools. The offices of Treasurer,
Recorder, County Clerk, Superintendent of
Streets, and Police Judge, are still in doubt,
with the chances In favor of the workingmen's
candidates. The Superior Judges will prob
ably be about equally divided. The Republic
cans are likely to elect four out Of Eve Justices
of the Peace. The Republican ticket ofSuper-
visors is beliyed to be successful, with, perhaps,
two or three exceptions also five of their can
didates for School Directors. The Workingmen
have probably elected three, and four are in
doubt. Beerstecher and stineman, Working
men, and Gone, Republican, are elected Rail-
road Commissioners. There seems to be no
doubt that the Republicans elected ali. four

New York Democracy-A Split.

The New York Democracy have held a con-
vention--a very stormy convention. The
party in that state boasts two elements, or
factions: the Tammany and the anti Tam
many. The party's convention met at Syracuse
on the 18th inst. with a view to nominating a
state ticket, the first place upon the ticket
being that of Governor. A breach in the pro-
ceedings was anticipated, and those who an
ticipat it were not disappointed. John Kelly
is the leader of the New York City or
Tammany Democracy, and Lucius A. Robin
son represents the country or Anti Tammany
element. When it became evident at the con-
~vention at Syracuse that the friends of the pres
ent incumbent were going to renominate their
man, the Tammany party withdrew and assem-
bled in SHAKESPEARE Hall. David Dudley Field
was chosen Chairman, and after p~roclaiming
that they, and not the other crowd, represented
the vote and principles of New York
Democracy, Dorsheimer moved that John
Kelly be nominated Governor by accla-
nation, which motion was quickly seconded, and
! after the widest enthusiasm, Kelly was de-
| clared nominated. Then three times three
cheers rent the air.
The other party-the Robinson element
proceeded Immediately upon the withdrawal of
the Tammany element to nominate for Cover
nor Lucius A. Robinson. Thus, two tickets
are in the field for the Democracy of New York.

What a FnI.e Rcport Did.

AT Cleveland last Wednesday, two shots
were heard in quick succession on the third
floor of the Kennard House, and persons rush
ing to room seventy-one entered it to find
George E. Clark PROSTATE on the floor, with
two bullets in his brain. He was undressed,
except for a shirt, and lay full length in front
of the lookingglass, before which he had evil
IDENTIFY stood to take the fatal aim. Clark was
a good merchant of Columbus, Ohio, and had
gen at the Kennard House about a week.
A friend had showed him a clipping from
the Cincinnati Enquirer, of last Sunday, which
had been telegraphed from Columbus, saying
that he had left the town in company with a
noted Cyprian. He left a letter addressed to
the public, Indignantly characterizing the re-
port as a =" contemplate lie"

A Georgia EPIDEMIC.

a special dispatch to the Cincinnati Gazette
from Atlanta, Ca, says strange and fatal
disease of malarial fever type is creating con-
sternat;on among the people in three or four
counties in the western part of this state. Out
of 6fty-eight persons attacked within the past
three weeks, only three have recovered. The
disease has some characteristics of typhoid
fever, but is more rapid and fatal. The tongue
swells until the mouth can't be closed the vic
tim shakes, and the blood breaks from the ears,
eyes and ~nostrils. The body is covered with
large black spots as death approaches. The
disease is spreading without appearing to be
contagious, and there seems no way to check it.
No local cause can be assigned for it. The peo-
pie are panic-stricken. Physicians from this
point will go to the troubled district"

That must have been "once upon a

A Washington special to the Cincinnati

three hundred and fifty to four hundred Ohio
men, living in the district, will go home to
vote in October. The list will be headed by
the President and Secretary Sherman. The
former will remain in Ohio for the purpose of
voting, and the latter will go there in October.
Secretary Sherman says that on no reasonable
account would he allow the Ohio election to
pass without his having q chance to cast his

Dispatches received atSanta Fe, New Mexico,
state that on the 4th instant a herd of about
thirty horses and some mules, belonging to
Capt. Hooker's command, stationed at 0jocal-
iente, in Southern New Mexico, was jumped
by Indians, and the herd guard, some seven or
eight soldiers of the 9th Cavalry were killed,
and oil the animals driven of. The Indians
are reported about forty strong, including the
notorious Chief Victoria, and others from the
Mescalero Agency. Troops from Fort Bayard,
etc., are all out after the Indians.

murdered md. Fnther.ln.Law.

John Sharp, of Macarthur, Ohio, last Mon
day murdered his father-in-law, Squire D.
T. Benjamin, for endeavoring to quiet a dis
turbance. between himself and his wife. Sharp
attacked the old man with a bludgeon of wood
from behind. He then turned his attention
to his wife and mother-in-law whom he struck
with the billet, injuring them both seriously.
He then fed, and at latest reports had not been
captured, although the Sheriff of vinton
county and a posse of men were securing the
country for him.
