FOUR DEMOCRATIC LEADERS.
sketched in Outline by Great Rerub-
40 ican Chief.

Sketched in Outline by a Great Rerub-
~ lican Chief.
{ Mr.. Blaine IN the North american Revie,o. J
Mr.. Hampton is O man Of strong
parts, possessing courage md execu>
tive force. but he has been in the
thick of the fight and has had per-
sonal ambitions to crafty which
may not place him in history AZ an
impartial witness His personality
protrudes at every point and his
conception of what should be done
and what should be undone at the
South is precisely what is included
in his own career. When Mirabeau
was describing I'LL the great quali~
ties that should distinguish popu-
lar leader the keenest of French
wits said he "had forgotten to add
that he should be pock~marked."
Mr.. Lamar offers a contrast to
Governor Hampton. He gem
eralizes and philosophers with
great ability, and presents the
strange combination of ':refined
spe ,ualist' and trustful optinist -
embodying some of the chracter~
istics of MI. Calhoun, whom he de-
vou:ly followed, and of MI. Seward,
whom he always opposed. Mr.. La
mar is the only man in public life
who can be praised in New England
for warm eulogy of Charles Sum
ner, and Immediately afterward
elected to the Senate as the repre~
sentative Of the white-line Demo-
Gratis of Mississippi. And yet incoa-
sistent as these positions are, it is
the dream of Mr. Lamar's life TO
reconcile them. He is intensely
devoted to the South he has gen.
orous aspirations for the uni II of
the States; he is slackled with the
narrowing dogma Of State rights,
aud yet, withal, has boundless hopes
for an imperial republic whose pow
or shall lead and direct the civiliza..
ton of the world. Hedged in by
opposing theories, embarrassed by
forces that seem ilreconcilable, Mr..
Llmar, FRO oably more than any other
man of the Democratic party, gives
anxious and inquiring thought to the
future. D.. .a.>t
OF Mr.. Stephens and Mr.. Hem
bricks it may be said that in their
treatment of the question one aims
to vindicate the course of his native
Georgia the other to gain some ad.-
vantage for the Democratic party OF
the nation. Mr.. Stephens has the
mind of a metaphysician, led astray
sometimes in his logic and some
times in his facts, but aiming always
to promote the interest of the State
to which he is devoted. Mr.. Hem
bricks is an accomplished political
leader, wirh large experience, pos,
,sed of tact and address, and in
scinctively viewing every public
qu sstion from it's relation to the
fate and fortune of his party. Mr..
Stephens argues from the stand
point of Georgia; Mr.. Hendricks
has in view the Democracy Of the
nation.

HOME MADE FERTILrzER.-Judge
r. +. Moore, one of the most suc>
cessful and intelligent farmers of
our county hands us the following
formula for composing a home
made fertilizer, which, the Judge
claims, is as good as any of the
standard commercial fertilizers in
the market, and cheap, because it
costs nothing except little labor.
The formula for one ton of the
fertilizer is as follows One thous-
and pounds of rich loam earth (pro :
cured from the fence corners, or
wash places, or surface dirt from
the woods}, and fifteen bushels of
cotton seed put into the stable or
stall of horse or COW, cover over with
O sufficient amount of leaves or
straw to prevent the stall from be
coming muddy or'dirty. Let it be
tramped twenty or thirty days.
when it may be put in pen, and
another supply put in the stable.
By this method Judge Moore says
that ton of fertilizer for each horse
or COW can be made, equal to the
best fertilizer offered in the market,
which is distributed in the same
way, and in the same quantities as
guano. All who know Judge Moore,
know that he has succeeded as q far
mer, and that he is no castle builder.
We hope our farmers will give this
manure fair test, and save them-
selves the thousands Of dollara paid
to fertilizer manufacturers. = Gra,o-

The Thing Didn't Work.

Yesterday afternoon a red-faced
young man belonging to an excur-
sion party called into q drugstore
and softly asked the soda-fountain
boy if he was out of any particular
kind of syrup. The boy made an
investigation an replied:
we are out of sarsaparilla, but
That's all right-all right-you
wait a minute" interrupted the
young man and away he went.
The boy took the empty reservoir
from the fountain and replaced it,
and in about two minutes the young
maj returned in company with his
girl and four other people, evident
" all friends. Walking up to the
fountain, he said:
I'm going to take sarsaparilla in
mine, for the doctors recommend it,
and if he hasn't any sarsaparilla l
won't take nothing. What do you
sayY
ooh, we'll take the same" they
replied.
The young man began to smile
and his left eye began to draw down
but to his horror the boy drew OF
six glasses in succession and push
ed them to the front, where they
were eagerly drained of their con-
tents. He tried to give the boy a
look of mingled hate and murderous
intent, but the lad was too busy to
see it. He felt in all his pockets,
brought up watch-keys. pennies, and
peanuts, and finally laid down TWEEN
ty-seven cents and whispered to the
boy;
"That takes my pile, and if ever
catch you outside of town I'll lick
thunder out o fyou"

Symptoms Of a Diseased Liver

DAM in the right side, under the
l edge Of the ribs, increases on pres
sure; sometimes the pain is in the left
side; the patient is rarely able to lie
on the left side sometimes the pain is
felt under the shoulder blade, and it
frequently extends to the top Of the
shoulder, and is sometimes mistaken
for rheumatism in the arm. The
stomach is affected with loss Of appe-
lite and sickness; the bowels in gen.
eral are c%ostivc, sometimes alternative
with lax; the head is troubled with
pain, accompanied with a dull, heavy
sensation in the back part. There is
generally a considerable los; of mem
Dry, accompanied with a painful SEN
sation of having left undone some
thing which ought to have been done.
A slight, dry cough is sometimes an
attendant. The patient complains Of
WEAKNESS and debility; he is easily
startled, his feet are cold or burning,
and he complains of a prickly sensa-
ton of the skin; his spirits are low.
and although he is satisfied that exer-
else would be beneficial to- him, yet
he can scarcely summon up fortitude
enough to try it. In fact, he distrusts
| every remedy. Several of the above
symptoms attend the disease, but cases
have occurred where few of them ex-
listed, yet examination Of the. body,
after death, has shown the LIVER to
have been extensively deranged.

Another Frozen Well,

In excavations recently made for a
railroad in the village of Malvern, Mills
Co., Iowa the bones of a mastodOn were
unearthed. One tooth was over eigh-
teen inches in circumference and the
enamel quite perfect. During the
same week similar remains OF some
gigantic animal were discovered at
Waukee, a town not far from Des
Moines.
There is at Brownville, Mimi, a
town on the Mississippi not far below
La Crosse, frozen we'll, that rivals
the famous Brandon well. A few years
ago, miner hunting for lead ore sunk
several shafts, or "mineral holes" in
that vicinity. The air in one of these
was very cold, almost beyond comfort
to the workmen. The shaft was aban-
doned when sunk to depth of thirty
two feet. In the course of a few
months ice formed freely on the sides,
until at length the whole opening was
filled, and the ice TO all appearance,
was solid from a point six feet below
the surface TO the bottom of the hole,
giving thickness Of some twenty-six

The Hardest Mode to Die.

To be shot dead is one of the easiest
modes of terminating life, yet, rapid as
it is, the body has leisure to feel and
reflect. On the first attempt, by one of
the frantic adherents of Spain to assas-
sinate William, Prince of Orange, who
took the lead in the revolt of the Neither
lands, the ball passed through the
bones of the face and brought him to
the ground. In the instant preceding
stupefaction he was able to frame the
notion that the ceiling of the room had
fallen and crushed him. The cannon
shot which plunged into the brain of
Charles XII did not prevent him from
seizing his sword by the hilt. The idea
of an attack, and the necessity for de-
fense, was pressed on him by blow
which we should have supposed too
tremendous to have left an interval of
thought. But it by no means follows
that the inAicting of fatal violence is
accompanied by pang, though from
what is known of the first effect of gun
shot wounds, it is probable that the
impression is rather stunning than
acute.

Duration of Animal Life.

The average age of cats is fifteen
years; of squirrels and hares, seven or
eight years; of rabbits, seven; a bear
rarely exceeds twenty years; dog
lives twenty years, wolf twenty, a
fox fourteen to sixteen, lions are long
lived, the one known by the name of
Pompey living to the age of seventy.
Elephants have been known, it is as
serted, to live to the great age of 400
years. When Alexander the Great had
conquered Perus, King of India, he
took a great elephant which had fought
valiantlY for the King, and named him
Ajax, dedicated him to the sun, and let
him go with this inscriptions: "Alex-
ander, the son of Jupiter, dedicated
Ajax to the SUM-" The elephant was
found with this inscription on $50 years
after. Pigs have been known to live to
the age of twenty, and the rhinoceros
to twenty; horse has been known to
live to the age of sixty-two, but aver
age twenty-five to thirty; camels live to
the age of 100; stays are very long
lived; sheep seldom exceed the age of
ten; cows live about fifteen years.
Cuvier considers il probable that
whales sometimes live l 900 years. The
dolphin and porpoise attain the age of
thirty; an eagle died at Vienna at the
age of 104; ravens frequently reach the
age of 100; swans have been known to
live 800 years. Mr.. Mallerton has the
skeleton of swan that attained the
age of 200 years. Pelicans are long
lived. A tortoise has been known to
live to the age of 107 years. A lie,
however, possesses the greatest vital
ity, and has been known to live several
hundred years.

Steamer Virginia---Partiou of the
Disaster.

HALIFAX, July 20.
The Government steamer Glenden
arrived at 9 p. m. from Sable Island
with seventy-nine persons from the
wrecked steamer State of Virginia,
being all the passengers on board of
her and the firemen. The Glenden
reached the Island at three p. m. yes
terday, and in five hours had all on
board and started for Halifax. The
vessel was much crowded, but the pas
sengers took it goodnaturedly and
were glad to reach the mainland to-
night. The wreck had not gone to
pieces when the Glenden left. Captain
Moody and his crew remained on the
island 10 endeavor to save property.
The vessel is filled with water, but if
the fine weather continues some of the
cargo may be saved in damaged
state.
The following is substance of state
ments of the passengers and crew:
Left New York on the 10th at ten a. m.
All went we'll until 1850 p. m. Saturday,
when the ship was felt to strike some
thing. The engines were stopped and
reversed at full speed, and leads drop
ped over the side to find the depth of
water. A boat was. lowered and
sounded all around the ship. A kedge
was run out astern to assist the engines,
but was of no use. The passengers re-
manned quiet but refused to go below.
There was no hurry or confusion of any
kind. The crew started to getting the
boats out and the anchors ready; run
out the stream anchor on the star
board bow and then got out the lower
anchor and about twenty-five fathoms
of chain. All being ready for heaving,
the stream anchor was started, putting
the cable over the side. Throwing the
cargo overheard began and continued
until about high water, when an en-
deavor was made to heave the vessel
of, but it was of no use. Then got
boats ready to land the passengers, a
surf-boat from the shore having al,
ready landed one boat load and re.
turned for another. The surf-boat
again started with another lot, two
more boats following, the intention be.
ing 70 allow the surf-boat TO land, all
