ue. Chicago, III says: eve have used
Papillon Cough Cure for all kinds Of

General Cunningham, an English of
fcer, has recently found, in the course o
his excavations near Mathura, India, q

summertime in a charming home near
the shore of Buzzards' Bay, on the coast
of Massachusetts His house is red
rooied cottage, with generous gables and
huge old-fashioned chimneys. At the

banded with iron rings to prevent it being
torn asunder by Wintry storms. Within
and without the house bears the imprint
Of colon a. times, and it is surrounded, by
a wide expanse Of meadow and moorland,
whose only gardener is nature, and which
secures the quiet and yields the inspira-
ton desired for poets summer home.
/ WINE AND WINE DRINKING.-The
California DemoSrat says that, notwith-
standing dimensions which Wine culture
has attained in Califern1a, the American
resident of that State has failed as yet to
take to wine drinking as habit. The
Napa valley is filled with luxuriant vine
yards, but foreigners remark with sur
prise that on entering the inns of that
section of the state they not only look
about in vain to see wine drinkers, but
are not always sure Of being able to get
wine to drink themselves Strong liquors
are still the staple beverages. Grapes
are not much III demand, even for table
use. The traveller would never suppose
from the food and drink of the people
that he was in country where luscious
/ grapes were grown and good wines made

legitimate sultana.

L0RyILLE, H., November Miss En-
ma BONG, the victim of the Christian
County outrage, Is now improving in
health She has so far recovered as to

the trial of the men at the next term
of court for the crime committed against

It is now the fashion, says the Boston
Gazette, to have one or more tropical
plants, a sage palm or some brilliant
Towering shrub, placed in some corner Of
Boston drawing rooms, When gas light
furnace heat have robbed them of their
freshness they are replaced by offers;
but as decorations and artistic back
grounds to bric-a- brac and high art fur
niture nothing could be more Sincere
or more effective.
The New York .yorld, the leading
Democratic paper Of the country, says:
"We scorn any political association with
any protectionists. No protectionist can
be Democrat at all Our hope is in
making the Democracy an out-and-in
thick, ,ana-thin, aggressive, lntolerant free
trade party, subordinating all issues to
this, and thereby drawing to itself all
citizens who have a true appreciation of
this grand principal. 1t is very evident
that the financial and disbursing agent of
the British Free Trade League has again
been in New York city.

natural for me to remain perfectly quiet,
but the English do not admire SO much
