Grandma's Remedy for Group, WhOOp-
Cough and Colds.

"Having been confined to my bed for
several weeks with a severe cough, which
all the remedies my family physician pre-
scribed would not alleviate, he, as last
resort, prescribed your Cherokee Remedy
of Sweet Gum and Mullein,' the first dose
of which gave me instant relief, and pre-
vented what the doctor considered immi-
nent danger of pneumonia. In three days
| was perfectly well. Five years ago my
oldest daughter had measles, leaving her
with a cough which followed her up to
the first of this year. Nothing would give
her any relief until / tried your wonder
full medicine. She is now entirely well.
Ny youngest child had a severe case of

once with two doses of the Remedy, and

THE NEGRO LYNCHING,

The MORNING NEWS dispatches sun
day gave brief account Of the lynching
in Iredell county. n. c.. RelOw we give a
more detailed statement of the affair from
the Herald:
On Wednesday night, near Mount
MOurne, in Rowan county, four negroes
two named Frazier, brothers, and two
named White-alsO brothers, got into a
difficulty. Julius Frazier and Lawrence
White engaged each other in fight, the
brother OF each cOmbatant standing by,
ready to take sides as necessity might
demand. Frazier was the aggressOr, and,
advancing upon White, he struck him
over the head with club. White was
staggered by the blow, but replied with an
open knife, plunging the blade into
FraZier's throat. The blow, severing the
iugular vein. caused the instant death of
the latter. The two Whites aad the sur
viying Frazier were then taken into
custody and escorted to the house of Mr..
Joshua +. Mclean. where they were placed
under guard and held Tor a prelimi-
nary trial on Thursday. That night a
lynching party of sixty, all negroes, took
possession sOf the three prisoners, and
after some consultation decided to release
Frazier and the elder White, but to hang
Lawrence White in atOnement for the
death of Frazier. They were undecided at
first as to which Ofthe Whites to hang, and
settled the matter by drawing lots. The
choice fell upon Lawrence, the younger
brother. whom they took into piece of
woods within sight of Mel cans house.
Reaching the woods a rope was procured,
one end of which was knotted around
Lawrence Whites neck and the other
was thrown over a limb, and in mo-
ment the body was swinging to and fro
in the stiffness of the night. On Friday
the Coroner took charge of 1t, but an in
quest has not vet been held.

SERGEANT MAsoN's PARDON. Sec.
rotary of War, Robert 7. Lincoln, to whom
the petition of nearly one million of people
asking the pardon of Sergeant Mason. who
is imprisoned for shooting at Guiteau,
was referred by the President, says in con.
sidering the subject: Nov, one of the
persons whose duty it was to protect the
prisoner was Sergeant Mason. It would
have been impossible for civilian to have
shot at the Jail while it was guarded by
United States troops, and yet non-com-
missioned officer did what no citizen would
have been allowed to do in the presence of
the troops. It was not only fragrant vio-
lation of the trust reposed in him, but the
act was committed ten weeks after the shot
was fred by Guiteau. Petitions for his
pardon have invariably asserted that he
was illegally sentenced, while none have
been received, that / know of, asking for
clemency ON the ground of Executive
power. There are many grounds upon
which pardon could be asked that would
not conflict with the general Judgment OF
what is right but surely the people do not
intend to ask for mans pardon TO justify
the essence Of mob law.

CHARACTER SAVED BY A "spooK.'

The Carson New Appeal says gentle
man employed at Government institution
in that city, and a man who has no leaning
whatever toward Spiritualism, relates the
following incident:
In 1858 his father, while Treasurer of a
local railroad in Massachusetts, died. After
his demise the Directors of the company
found deficiency in the accounts of the
deceased, amounting to eight hundred and
fifty odd dollars. The fact was commune
Gated to the family of the late Treasurer,
and the apparent defalcation caused them
much grief and shame. In 1861 noted
Boston medium named Mansfield visited
San Francisco, creating great excitement
by reason of his wonderful performances,
and he was called on by some of the best
people of that city. One day the gentle
man above referred to, accompanied by
the late Rev. Thomas Starr King, visited
Mansfield purely out of curiosity. Tbs
former was requested by the medium to
write upon slip of paper the name OF any
one in the spirit world with whom he de-
sired to communicate. He wrote the
name of his father. and without exhibit
Jog it to Mansfield, placed it into small
tin tube which the latter handed him, and
sealed it in such manner with private
seal, that any tampering could be easily
detected. Mansfield requested that the
tube and the contents be left in his posses
sion for twenty.four hours, after which the
gentleman might call for letter from the
spirit world. On the following day the
gentleman in question again called on the
medium and substantially received this
communication from his deceased father !:
He informed his son that be was cognizant
Of the grief which his apparent defalcation
had caused the family. but that he was en-
tirely innocent of any wrong, further stat
ing that if certain book would be exam
ined, which could be found in q stated
spot, and opened st given page, it would
be found that the date of the year had err
roneously been placed in the dollar column
and added up as cash, which would account
for the apparent deficiency in his accounts.
Although reposing but little faith in the
matter, the son wrote East about it, and
when he received reply it was to the pur-
port that the book mentioned was IN the
Indicated place, and on the stated page it
was found that SS5S, the amount of the
supposed defalcation, had been added TO
the cash account by mistake.

The Indian Froubles.

TUCSON, April 27fh.-A special to the Star
from Guaymas, Mex, says: A party OF
Yaquis attacked a wood camp near Mesa
Hacienda, belonging to Don Jose Msmaveto.
rena, and took twelve burros, ten axes and
the provisions on hand, and told the major
domo that If he wanted to reclaim them to
apply to Cajerni, chief of the Ysqui nation.
As the Federal troops are engaged on the
frontier subjugating the Apaches, it is feared
here that an insurrection of the Yaquis is
about to take place. Mesa is distant from
Ortiz station twelve miles. Don Francisco
Topia, who has charge of the ranch and dis
trict, has telegraphed to Governor Torres for
arms, etc. This is the first time for some six
years that the Yaquis have come 80 near
Guaymas. Considerable uneasiness is felt
here, and the Chief of Police has orders to
place close watch on the YaQuis who are
here.
TUCSON, April 27th.-General Crook is be-
ieved to have crossed over into Mexico, but
nothing is known az to his movements, and
he is so remote from telegraphic communica-
ton, it may be some time before any informa-
tion is received from his command. The
Mexican authorities have already entered the
Sierra Madre Mountains, and it is believed
the campaign will be continued until the L.
dians are disposed of.
The killing OF Lite Charley McCOmas.
TUCSON, April 27th.-A gentleman just
arrived from San Carlos Sprir gs has positive
information of the killing of little Charley
McComas by his captors. The information
seems to be true. A White Mountain Apache,
who WAS ore of the party accessories to the
abduction, told one of the employees at San
Carlos that when about four leagues from the
reservation the Indians, grown tired Of the
burden Of caring for the boy. as he could not
ride or care for himself knocked him in the
head with rock and killed him. The Indian
offered to guide any one to the place. and
show him the body. The name of the en-
ploye at the Agency can be easily obtained,
and it is worth the attention of parties inter-
ested to learn the facts in the case and secure
the remains of the unfortunate child.

STATE MINERAL EXHIBITION.

State Mineralogist Henry G. Hanks called
a meeting of citizens Of San Francisco few
days ago, for the purpose Of considering q
proposition to make grand free exhibition
Of the mineral and material resources Of the
Pacific coast in. San Francisco during the
meeting Of the Triennial Conclave of Knights
Tsmplsr, and the result was that circular
was addressed to the Board of Supervisors of
each county ia the State, giving the result of
heir deliberations, as follows:
First-It is proposed that the citizens of
the city and county Of San Francisco land
lihersl-minded ci6zsns of the State who may
30 desire) raise all the funds required TO pro-
Jet and carry out Free Pacific Coast Min
eral Exposition, and make the display one OF
uneuualed attraction and interest to sill who
may visit the city.
Second-That the respective counties. and
the citizens thereof, be earnestly solicited to
contribute the sum of 500 for each county
by appropriation or by private subscription
which may be sent to Lloyd Tsvis, Treasurer
of this Citizens Exposition Committee, to go
into what will be STYLED "The County Case
Fund of the State Mining Bureau and Mu-
scum" to provide neat and uniform cases,
which will bear the names of the respective
counties so contributing.
1t is also most earnestly requested that I'M
mediate mess ures be taken by the respective
Boards to solicit specimens which may be sent
by express, free, directed to the State Mining
Bureau, with names of donors, which will ap-
pear on printed display cards in the respect
i've county cases. Many relics, fossils, etc.,
will no doubt be sent which cannot go I'D
cases, and for these county space will be
assigned by the committee.

and brought out in this circular will afford an
ample incentive to earnest and practical eft.
fort, and that opportunity will be furnished

hoping that what it asks for and aims at will
meet with your appreciation and receive your
hearty cooperation.
