Southern Republicans into disrepute
Some time ago, when we alluded to
the busy efforts of some of these
persons to influence the President in
making his Cabinet appointments, we
We're denounced as being untrue to
the Republican party, but the denun-
citation came from harmless source,
and we took no notice of it. AS we
have before insisted, the President
will be guilty of grievous
blunder, if he finally makes
up his Cabinet without at least
one Southern Republican, but
we do not hesitate to say he would
make greater blunder by appoint
ing one of these barnacles as rep
resentative of Southern Republicans
ism. It is unnecessary to call
names, but the names of Southern
Republicans have been mentioned in
Connection with. Cabinet positions,
who would do no credit to them
selves as members of a County Court.
The Republican party in the South
has been a minority. If we ever
expect to elect Governors, Represen
tatives and Senators in Congress, we
must do it by obtaining recruits
from the other side, and we are
anxious that such recruits shall be
from the better elements of society,
such as will give permanence and
stability to the majority thus SCI
cured. To do this, the affairs
of the party must be managed
and controlled by men who command
the confidence and respect of the
people. The President intimates that
he will go beyond the little squad of
ofice-seekers who hang about Wash
ington, without any visible means of
support, for advice as to
Southern affairs. They never go
South except to manipulate political
conventions, and their theory is, the
fewer Republicans there are in the
Southern States the better the show
for obtaining Federal appointments.
We want more liberal, wide-awake,
progressive men in the Republican
party in the South, especially in the
Cotton States, and if President
Arthur succeeds in shelving
q score or SO In each
State of those who have Numbered
SO long in the lead of the party, he
will be entitled to the thanks of the
country. There are hundreds of
worthy Republicans in every South
ern State, but they are not among
those who make the most noise at
| the national capital.

The First Vaccine Factory.
Greenwich Conn. } Graphic.

Probably the first vaccine factory
established in this country, Is III q
barn on the property of Mr.. Law
renee, at Cos Cob. A number of in
verted saw-horses, some straps, few
razors, a stool or two, quantities OF
quilts, and calves in pen, are all
that there is to be seen. One man
does all the work, and yet from this
barn vaccine matter is sent to Japan,
Europe, California, and all over the
United States. Fosters quilts are
known to every physician in this part
of the country. This is his factory.
Business in quilts has been very
brisk this winter. 1t was not until
DIR. Foster had experimental
and tried a number of times
that the vaccine at last stock.
The first calf innoculated successfully
was from vaccine imported from
Europe. From this calf it was given
to another, and so on for twelve
years to the present time. From one

ferred, as their skin is more tender
They are in most cases hired from
the farmers around, and then re
turned, The operation on the calves
is not a difficult one, nor do they
suffer and afterward die as many sup
pose But on the contrary they are
said to be benefited by it. They dc
not suffer any more pain than a per
son who is vaccinated, for the process
is the same, only that the calf has
hundreds of incisions instead of one
There is COW in the village said to

A Fire.Haunted Man.
From the Breckenridge News.

From the Breckenridge News.
Mr.. James Minor, wealthy bach
elor of Nelson County, KY, is liter
ally a fre-haunted man. When a
child, Mr.. Minors mother was
accidentally burned to death. At
the decease of his father he inherited
the homestead farm, the dwelling on
which was at that day one of the
finest residences in Nelson County,
having been erected at cost OF $40,
900. It caught fire and was con-
sumed to ashes. He erected a new
house at a like cost, only to become
IN it's turn food for the hungry flames.
He subsequently engaged in the
lumber business, and lost a large
and valuable lot of lumber
by fire. He then visited
his brother, residing in Hollis
Bottom, this county, and in two or
three days after his arrival the
dwelling of the latter was consumed
by fire. He then went to Kansas
to visit his stepmother, and while
they were conversing about the
strange fatility that seemed to dog
him through life, the kitchen of her
house burst into flames. Returning
to Kentucky and visiting at the
house of relative in his native
county, while the family were dis
cussing his bad luck the kitchen of
that house was also discovered TO
be on fire. From thence he pros
ceeded to visit the family of another
relative in the same county.
A broom in the room was ,ignited by
a spark from the fire, whereupon the
young lady of the house remarked
teat she had left some fire in the
parlor and she believed that she
would go and see if everything was
right. Opening the parlor door, the
department was discovered to be in
flames.
