PRESIDENTIAL PROSPECTS.

been nominated. With Garfield as
our standard bearer, Ohio is sure to

Arthur on the ticket, the latter with
ConkIing will attend to New York
in good style. In fact, with the
nominations made, we have obviated
the necessity Of antagonizlng the
German vote that would have op.
posed Grant; we have steered clear
OF the disaffection in New York, that
would have existed with Blaine as q
leader; and, with the fine record of
which Gen. Garfield can boast, we
will harmonize aud unite the whole
party. Indiana is claimed positively

Corpse of an Engine Pilot.

rGreenville. s. c., dispatch to Boston
Herald
This morning. about O'Clock, the engineer
of the southern bound passenger train saw a
figure on horseback as the train came down
a grade at a rapid rate. few miles above
this place. The man attempted to cross the
track when the engine was only about twenty
yards away. Before the lever could be re-
yersed, the horse was struck dead and thrown
of the track. To the Amusement of the
conductor and engineer the man could not be
discovered. When the train reached here
and stopped at the station. he was found on
the pilot Of the engine, still sitting astride of
his saddle. stone dead. He was recognized
as George Martin, wellto-do cotton planter
Of Greenville county. Upon removal OF the
body. it was discovered that piece of Jug
handle was suspended from the neck of the
dead man by piece of string. The frag
ment of the ing emitted an unmistakable
odor Of corn whiskev. Those who saw the
occurrence had no longer any doubt as to the
cause Of the riders reckless attt mpt to cross
the railroad track with train bearing down
upon him at the rate OF 30 miles an hour.
The conductor and engineer of the train are
both old railroad men and accustomed to
unusual sights. but never, within their ey-
perience, has such an occurrence come under
their Otsery alton

Improving Coffee.

1t is rarely the case that adulterating ma
terial improves the article adulterated. The
Grocer remarks that the stimulating proper
ties of coffee, while they make il a popular
article of consumption. are unfortunately the
sources of a multitude of nervous diseases.
Consequently it was found necessary, after
many years experience of its baneful effects
when used in its full strength, to discover
some means Of ameliorating these by the ad
mixture of n harmless substance resembling
coffee in flavor as nearly possible. An ar
tcle was finally selected for this purpose af-
ter careful experiment. which is now extern
sively employed. not only for diluting and
partially counteracting the injurious qualities
of coffee. but for imparting more agreeable
flavor to many brands which would otherwise
be unpalatable bv reason of their sharpness
and generally unpleasant taste. 1t is hardly
necessary to say that this indispensable requi-
site in the preparation of coffee is chiccory,
a simple. harmless vegetable substance.
which materially lessons not only the bad
qualities. but also the high cost of an unmxed
coffee. 1t ia stronger than pure coffee and
gives good color to the decOction. 1t is
used largely at European hospitals on ac-
count of its superior qualities Of nutrition and
total absence of stimulating agents.
The nutritious matter in chiccory, according
to analysis. amounts to &C per cent. while
that of coffee is but 81.
