New York Herald,
President Hayes has done so well
and he promises to leave behind him
so good a name in the White House
that 1t is a pity VIC should have so
many petty scandals from Washington
about fayorltism in the armyand navy.
Everybody knows the origin Of these
scandals. There are officers in the
army and navy who have influence.
They are relat YES Of public men.

A Body Servant OF Mar. stephens
Dead.

Washington P0st.l
Hon. A.. h. Stephens received a tel
gram, yesterday, while he vas at the
capitol, announcing that his old serv-
ant, Harry Stephens, died at Liberty
Hall" in Crawfordyille, Ga, yester-
day morning, Of pneumonia. Harry
has been the major domO Of Liberty
Hall for thirty years. Mr.. Stephens
bought him in 1851 and placed him in
charge Of all his affairs at his home.
Harry was Dir. Stephens body servant
during all that time until about five
years ago, when his present body serv-
ant, Aleck Kent, was secured Ia that
capacity Harry was we'll known by
ali habitues Of Washington, before
and since the war, who knew MI.
Stephens. The death Of Harry has
caused great grief to Mr.. Stephens and
he deplores his death very much. The
deceased was worth about S20, 900 in
his own right.

The rate of mortality in Chicago is
greatly increased by the presence Of
smallpox, diphtheria and a disease
which in summer would probably be
considered cholera. A severe winter
generally produces unusual sickness
and is often followed by epidemics
All our great epidemics were preceded
by very cold winters, but that was be.
fore the era of sanitary reform.

Tie most suggestive result shown
by the census statistics is the growth
Of the cotton industry in the south.
In 1879 the southern mills had 1000
looms and Az, 600 spindles. They now
have $4,000 looms and 7l40OO spin
dies. This is a large increase Of mill
capacity, but the striking progress
made is more forcibly shown by a com
parison ofthe consumption OF cotton
In 1870 this amounted to $1,000, 600
pounds. 10 1880 it had swollen to
nearly 102, 900 pounds. Here is
unmistakable evidence that in this
important industry the south has made
in recent years more rapid strides than
New England or the country at large.
In this significant fact the southern
people may read a useful lesson.
With the great cotton field Of the
world within its borders, the south
has an exceptional opportunity to push
on to a rare prosperity in the manu-
facture Of its greatest staple.

suffered every hour, night and day,
with the disease, so that she had to be
watched constantly to prevent her
falling on the stove or dishes. Tie
physician who attended her said she
must be sent to the hospital at Angus
Ia. | related the case to an old man
whom | happened to meet and told
him how bad | felt at sending her
away. He said that she could be en-
tirely cured in nine days, and that L
was a lucky man to have the means Of
cure at my own home. He told me
to stand my donkey with his head to
the south; then to take the child and
sit her on its back with her face 10
the east, and then TO pass her over the
donkey's back toward the west. saying
In the name Of the Father, Son aud
Holy Ghost Following his instruc-
tons | did this for nine mornings be-
fore breakfast. On the third morning
the child began to improve, and the
donkey began to take the disease.
From that time to the end Of nine
days the child grew rapidly better and
the donkey grew worse in proportion,
until it died on Monday, the 10th,
after iriehtful suffering from the dis
case. The child is now perfectly re-
stored, have no trace Of its trouble.
These are the facts, and all the neigh
| bOrs are witnesses.

The case of Miss Gardiner is still
fresh in memory. She has never been
on very good terms with her tenants,
living a solitary life and surrounding
herself with a household as eccentric
as herself. She is a masculine woman,
goes shooting with her dogs, jumps
over bog holes like a boy and is always
armed. One day last month she was
going down the streets of Ballina
when a woman struck her on the head
withs teapot and abused her roundly.
A crowd collected and hOoted Miss
Gardiner into a neighbOring shop.
Then they followed her along the road
with shouts and groans. She turned,
and, drawing a revolver, de6ed them
to come on. The police arrived before
mischief was done, and escorted Miss
Gardner back to Farmhill.
