The Great Unknown.
New York Herald

Naturally enough the people are be-
ginning to manifest great interest in the
question, "Who will be the Democratic
nominee for President in 18S4?"
Some of the objections raised have not
been of the character to bear the test of
criticism. For instance, it has been said
ex-senator Mcdonald that he could not
carrysNew York. But that Is simply
question nOfindividual opinion. OfHol-
man 1t is pretended that he has been
killed by o picture. But that is nom
sensical. "Handsome is, as handsome
does" Concerning Tilden it has been
urged that he is too old and feeble.
Age alone would certainly be no good
objection.
Mr.. Tilden is not ;N very old man.
He will nOtreach his sseventieth year un-
til next February. Mr.. Gladstone, still
in active service and working vigorous
ly, is seventy-four years of age. The
Emperor of Germany ruling with
firm hand, has filled his eighty sixth
birthday. Queen Victoria, who has on
ly manifested signs of failing health
since the death of her favorite servitor,
John Brown, is over sixty-five. Dis
raeli had passed his seventy-fOurth
birthday when he achieved the great
triumph ofhis life" Peace with honor"
through the Treaty of Berlin. The
illustrious Marshal, Count Won Moltke
privations and dangers of a campaign,
at the head of the grandest army ever
put into the field, at seventy-one.
When Andrew Jackson retired from
the Presidency in 1887, full of the en-
ergy, courage and iron will by which
his administration had been distin-
guished, he was over seventy years of
age. Thomas Jefferson was President
at sixty-six and lived for seventeen
years after the close of his official term.
Lord Palmerstom died in harness in
his eighty-second year,
But why talk of the dead? Is it not
enough that Samuel ]. Tilden is only
five years the senior of Charles Ander-
son Dana, the still vigorous editor of the
Sun, who Indignantly scorns the impu-
tation of being an old man?
But Mr.. Tilden ia no soldier, no An
drew Jackson. He is very rich and
unfortunately, in poor health. Life Is
now more to him than the Presidency.
1t is natural that he should regard an
active campaign and the subsequent
wear and tear of official duties not only
as beyond his physical strength but as
far less pleasant than o life of ease in
Gramercy Park or up the Hudson or in
response to steam yacht gliding over
smooth and pleasant waters.
Does 1t follow from this that the Demo-
cratic party will, at the proper time, be
in want Of a candidate? Not at all.
Not a single Democratic journal of con-
sequence, perhaps not i've Democratic
politicians in the county, thought SER
iously that Hancock would receive the
nomination 1850. Yet Hancock was
nominated and made q, strong candi-
date. Indeed, he would have made q
winning candidate had he not been as
sailed at the same time by English in
the rear, and corruption and purchase
in front. N. IS ~ .l.,i2l
An available Democratic candidate
will be found when the Convention
meets, although his name may not yet
have been mentioned. s..2al
He is the Great Unknewn. II is the
unexpected that always happens.

A smart Old Man.

An old man whose daughter had ia.
ken husband and brought him home
to live sized up his son-in-law and
said:
81 am an old man and have only q
short time to live. l have a buried
treasure which shall be yours when l
pass away"
The son.in-law went behind the
smoke-hous and tickled himself half
to death to think he hadn't shipped
the old man off to the poor house, as he
intended, before hearing of the treas
ure. Then he twisted his face into a
smile and his mouth into a pucker, and
for seventeen long years he pulled off
the old mans boots at night, kept him
in smoking tobacco, accepted his
weather predictions without mur-
mur. When the aged pioneer finally
pegged out, a dive was made for the
buried treasure, and the son-in-law
soon held in his hand a-giltedged
Bible which never cost less than $4.-

How Watch Cases are Made.

Most persons have an ambition 70 carry
sgoldwatch case, and jet few people know
how a watch case is made, or the vast dif.
ference in thequalityof Of them. InasoLD
GOLD WATcH CAsE, aside from the neces-
sAry thickness for engraving and polishing,
large proportion Of the metal is needed
only to stifien and hold the engraved por-
tons in place, and supply strength. The
surplus is not only needless, but undesira-
BILE, because gold is a soft metal and cannot
furnish the stiffness, strength and elasticity
necessary to make the case permanently
strong and close-ftting. The perfect watch
case must combine gold with some metal
that will supply that in which the gold is
deficient. This has been accomplished by
the james BosS Gold Ratch Case ~. ~ .,x
which saves the WASTE of need 3 q
less gold, and INCREASES the seIIDrTY and
STRENGTH Of the case, and at the same time
reduces the cost ONE HALF.

Then jumping forward he clasped his

What Thirteen. Women Had 20 Say
Over . Fallen Horse.

ThIr.een women and one man occu-
pied seats in street-car coming down
town on Saturday. The Old Con-
ductor was Just telling how half-a-doz.
en- Of the boys had retired with for
tunes after an experience Of ,only two
years on the line, when the driver
wound up his brake and brought the
car up with jerk. The Old Con-
ductor showed up his sleeves, forced
his lat down hard on the back of his
head, cleared the back platform with q
bound, and ran up forward to see
what was up. All the women inside
the car jumped to their feet, and then
the entertainment began.
why, It's poor horse, exclaimed
one woman, looking around at the 9th
ers.
so it is,' said another, and he's
fallen down hole.
Poor thingl and the cart has run
over him, too.
Yes, and if he has fallen down a
hole they'll have a hard time to get
him up
No, he hasn't fallen down a hole.
He's fallen down, that's all
20, the poor horse. l wonder if he's
hurt
i do believe he's dead
No, he isn't dead. Just see him
wag his tail
why don't the men back the cart
off of him?'
They can't; don't you see he's fal-
len on the shaft?'
Il never did see such lazy set of
men. Why don't they do something?
l just wish was man
why don't they cut the harness?
Did you ever?'
Il don't believe a single one of them
has got a knife! o, just hear that con-
ductor swear'
Then there was peace in the car for
a moment. The harness was un-
buck!ed and the old conductor and
half-a-dozen men seized the cart and
rolled it off the track. The woman
watched all this in silence and the SOL
ltary man in the corner went to sleep.
Then they broke out again:
We'll, they have done it at last
%, just see that man kick that poor,
poor horse. Isn't it just too brutal for
anything?'
I do believe he is dead. They can't
make him stir one Bit
They will kick his ribs in just as
sure"
See that awful man with the whip.
I just wish the poor horse would bite
him.
There, now he is getting up. Well,
did you ever see such looking thing?
l do believe he was too weak to stand.
why, you can almost see through
him.
They oughtnt to let such looking
horse as that out. He's enough to
scare people.
well, If I'D know he was such .
shadow as that l wouldn't have been
wasting my sympathy
just then the conductor rang the
bell and the car STATED off down the
street with rush. The man in the cor.
ner woke up and the women settled
back in their seats and watched the
horse until he had been left behind out
of sight.-.Ph,ladelphia Times.

Catarrh.-Without assuming to write
out thesis of this universal ailment,
facts warrant our saying that it seems
to us there never was season when it
was so prevalent as at the present.
The above is preliminary to the fol-
lowing, viz: That Messrs. Hood & Co.,
of Lowell, believe that the best way to
treat Catarrh, and the only way to get
permanent relief, is through the blood.
A constitutional disease requires con-
stitutional remedy. Hoods Sarsapa-
rilla is blood purifier and constitu-
tional medicine that can be relied upon,
and has cured numerous cases of Catarrh
in its various forms. We think this
claim a reasonable one and gladly give
it room in our columns. nS-1m

Clara Morris told pathetic story to

Clara Morris told a pathetic story to
a st. Louis reporter about her inability,
sometimes, to manufacture real tears in
the crying part of her acting. She said:
III get very nervous about 4 o'clock in
the afternoon because am, afraid that
I won't cry in the play. There must be
real tears in eyes and voice. To do this,
just before going on get up an artifi-
cial agony by thinking of some sad in
cident or by reading a sad story until
my feelings are thoroughly aroused.
Oh, it is just killing me! Brete Harte's
book supplied me with emotion for two
years. It is SO hard to produce real
tears" Why, Clara, try an onion!

Do you realize that our severest cases
of fever in children arise from sheer
neglect on the part of their mothers.
Do not allow their stomachs to become
disordered, followed by constipation,
and finally inflammation has seized them
and they are a victim to some dread
fever. Avoid all this by the prompt
use of the Pacific Pills the moment
they become languid and loose their
appetite. n22-1m

NelcS: | was glad to see in Tuesdays
issue of the MORNING NEWS notices to
the effect that Messrs. A. r. Altmayer Il
Co., as well as Messrs. Gustave Eckstein

spective establishments at $3.50 p. IN.

| think this a good example and a
step ia the right direction, and which
I'm sure will be appreciated by
each and every lady and gentleman
clerk in Savannah, and l trust this good
and worthy example, set by these two
mentioned firms, will be taken up and fol-
lowed by all the other merchants in the
city; and leaving out OF the question that
one merchant on BrOughton street, who
has set at defiance not only reason, but
also all those reverend and medical gen.
tlemen by TemarkiGg in his letter that
they signed their names TO q petition
without making any inquiries whatever
into the matter. / would ask the
sumo to think that gentlemen with
the Intelligence and education
as those of the clergy and the medical
profession are, would for moment atfix
their signatures to a document or petit
ton without knowing exactly what it
was for and what it was to accomplish,
l think the above gentleman must be
labOring under d mistaken impression
with regard to his remarks about our
clergy and the medical profession, and

George Wallace to be Hanged on Au-
gust cath.


In the Superior Court yesterday, His
Honor, Judge Fort, of the Southwestern
Circuit. who is presiding in the absence
of His Honor. Judge Adams. sentenced
George Wallace. cOlOred, convicted Of
murder. to be hanged in private on Au-
gust oath. next, between the hours of 10
a. m. and p. m.
Wallace. il will be remembered, was
charged with shooting a Norwegian sail
or named Martin L. Jansen. at a Well
known resort in the ''Old Fort" section
on the night of March Is, 1852. he was
promptly indicted and put upon trial. He
was defended BY Hon. A. 2. Adams, but
was found guilty and sentenced by Judge
TOmpkins to be hanged on May 18th, 1882.
on Nav IL a motion for new trial was
made. which was argued on July 2oth.
ON the 18th Judge Carswen presiding,
Granted supersedeas, and the
case went to the Supreme Court, where
il was argued by Messrs. X. T.. Lester
and J. J. Abrams in behalf ofthe accused.
The Supreme Court, on April 70, 1888, al
firmed the judgment OF the court below,
and Yesterday the remitter OF the former
tribunal was filed and made the order OF
the latter.
Wallace. who is of small stature and
said to be of rather weak intellect, was
placed in the dock and was asked II ne
had anything to say why sentence OF death
should not be pronounced upon him. He
disDIaved great nervous agitation, and
ierkingIv remarked that he was innocent,
and that il was put up job upon MN,
and continued in a rambling ana income
rent manner for a moment or two.
The court then briefly reviewed the
case. dwelt upon the en0rmlty OF the
Offense and assured the prisoner that 1t
could not see one ray Of hope for him, as
every source of appeal short OF EXecu-
tive clemency had been exhausted. and
the present Chief Magistrate was resolved
that the majesty of the law should be VIM
dictated. After eOunselling the prisoner
10 make the most of the time left him upon
earth in preparation to meet his Maker, tine
court sentenced Wallace as above stated,
and he was taken back to jail In custody
of Deputy Sheriff Hall.
During the passage Of the sentence
Wallace drew a paper from his pocket,
which he held in front OF him. and which,
when the court concluded he dropped,
raising his arms above his head and NOV
ing them about in a nervous manner.
Just as the prisoner was entering the dock
a negro woman, said to be his aunt,
began wailing loudly, but was
promptly removed. The remarks
of the court were pointed and impressive,
and were heard with profound attention
bv the spectators. 1t is said that an effort
Will be made to secure a communication of
the death sentence upon the ground OF

TbeoIoey and Early Closing


Editor Morning NeleS: Theology regu-
lating the hours of commerce is some
thing new, but do not object when its
influence is in favor of curtailment and
not in extension. But does this galaxy
Of reverends suppose that their 'ipse
dixitr is going TO have any influence upon
ladies as to the hours when they shall
make their purchases? We who are mar
ried know better than to dictate when,
how often or where our better halves shall
90 a shopping. Or do they suppose that
the laboring man, after hard days work,
when needing some article of clothing,
etc.. will stop to think that Father This
or Rector That has said over his signature
that it is conducive neither to good morals
or good health that stores should be kept
omen late enough for him to buy mis- few
s9duds?" The day has forever gone by
when the parsons word was everything
and his advice asked upon every topic
from original sin to game at quOits, and
/ mistake the Savannah public very much
if they are to be guided as to the hours
they shall-Or rather shall ROt-shOp by
their spiritual avisers.
The only way successfully to inaugu-
rate uniformly early hours for closing is
for the merchants to meet and agree upon
some hour convenient for all, and it is
matter not for clerks to solicit or for par
sons to advise; for stores are kept open
for the benefit of the stOrekeeper and not
as philanthr0pie institutions for the sal
walton of clerks, nor are they asylums for
those whose morals are so weak that they
would suffer if kept behind a counter after
D. m, and in this land Of liberty the
merchant must be the sole judge as to
when he should open and when he should
close.
Most of US merchants hewail the long
hours of business far more feelingly and
earnestly than these reverend gentlemen
can do. but the old proverb is terribly
true. = Needs must lcheR the deUI driUeS,"
and if the devil be an exploded parsonage
in these enlightened days, competition
certainly is not, and he who closes, leav-
ing his nelghbor open, is simply and liter
ally handing over his means of livelihood
and hopes of success in business to his
neighbor.
