Mrs. NJ. NJ. HAUGHN, widow of the muir
dered Texan judge, as to whose assassination the
Journal has hitherto given the disgraceful facts,
publishes the following womanly letter to the
public:
''Sir-Permit me, through the medium of your
paper, to challenge a false statement that is
making the rounds OF the press throughout the
country, that 1 suspected that the murderer of
my husband, Charles Hanghn, was a negro. who
sought to avenge a wrong done a daughter or
sister, by my husband, before marriage No
such statement was ever made by me to any
person or persons; aud further, no such cause
ever existed. No female, either white or col
ored, ever had any cause of complaint against
him. The whole is a complete fabrication; an
invention of his enemies. suspect no one, and
could never be made to believe that any colored
man could be 60 base as to assasslnate MIN, who
had devoted the best years of his life and i'm
provished himself by contributing freely TO the
upbnilding and the advancement of the best in
terests OF their race; one who for years has en-
dured vituperation and contumely without stint
by his enemies. With charity for all and malice
toward none, L respectfully ask that every paper
that has given currency TO the above foul SLAM
der will do me the favor to copy this statement.

strong that [ venture to say that
there is not one in twenty but IS as
afraid of touching toad as rattle
snake. Millions of toads are killed
annually on this account, when they
are really the farmers and garden
ers' best friend, as they feed upon the
bugs and worms that destroy their
plants. The most of these superstl-
tions are harmless. but one of these
wart myths is probably the most
dangerous superstition extant. They

wart it will disappear, 1t VIII

ORANGES AND FLORIDA.
Retter than Breezes and Blossoms
Under a New Flag.

Even the balmy air and orange groves Of
Florida fail to keep its people full ofhappi-
ness and comfort. Art must help nature
evervwhere-in the tropics as among the pines
Of the North "And, chief among the bless
mos which are adapted to all zones" writes
Dr T. q. Wallace, of Fort Dade, Fla. "is
PARKER's Tonic. 1t seems to have the world
for n field and most of the current diseases
Weld to its action. have used 1t in the case
of a delicate and dyspeptic young lady, with
the most gratifying results. 1t seemed to ac-
comDIish with ease what the usual prescrip-
tions and treatment for that miserable mala-
DIV failed wholly to bring about. l am also
clad TO state that the Tonic has greatly re-
iieved me personally ola troublesome atomic
condition Of the stomoch of long standing. 1t
is the ideal purifier and invigorant."
Messrs. Hiscox e. Co. call especial attention
to the fact that after April 49, 1888, the name
and style ofthis preparation will hereafter be
simply Pdrker's Tonic. The word "Ginger"
is dropped. for the reason that unprincipled
deoIers are constantly deceiving their patrons
by substitutin: inferior preparations under
the name of Ginger; and as ginger Is an UNI
important flavoring ingredient in our Tonic,
we are sure that our friends will agree with
us as to the propriety of the change. There
will be no change. however, in the prepare
ton itself; and all bottles remaining in the
hands of dealers, wrapped under the name Of
"PARKER's GINGER Tonic" contain the gem
uine medicine II the signature of Hiscox &
Co. is at the bottom of outside wrapper.

Some Pet SuperstitiOns.

II think there are more idle, silly
superstitions in the popular mind on
the subject of physiology than any
subject l know Of" said an eminent
physician.
"Why do you say that? Tell about
some of them"
"Take the popular notion in re-
gard to hydrophobia. If healthy
dog bite child and years afterward
go mad. the child will go mad, too.
You'll find that sentiment almost
ineradicable. Credit to the nine
teenth century, isn't it? So is the
cor0llary from the proposition that
when child is bitten by dog the
beast must be killed to keep the child
from going mad. Then there is that
time-wOrn but eyer new scare that
eats suck babies breaths. What a
cat could do with baby's breath Is a
deep and unfathomable mystery to
me. suppose they get into the cra-
dies where they are children because
of the warmth, and superstitIous peo-
pie are not in love with cats, and es-
pecially black ones. They twist the
vampire story abound till they get
the Notwithstanding story. Another
medieval anatomical romance is that
a man has twelve ribs and the woman
thirteen. because God took rib from
man and made woman from it. You
will laugh at the IDEA, but l have
heard men vehemently declare that
it was true, and were perfectly as
founded when they found out they
were mistaken.
"The most common superstition is
the charming away of warts. Sensi-
bic white people will do all sorts OF
little silly hoodoo tricks to get rid of
warts. They will try to get people
to buy them from them; they will
cut as many notches on stick as
they have warts and hide the stick
in the hope that somebody will find
il who will get the warts which will
be charmed OIL. The notion that il
a toad touches person warts will
come at the place of contact is SO

The Grand Army Of the Republic.

The Grand Army Of the Republic.
AT the banquet OF the Army Union
In Washington last week Col. Dud-
ley, Commissioner of Pensions, in
speaking to the toast ; 1.-The Grand
Army of the Republic" said {:
"There were 2,7S0,17S men enlisted
by the United States for the puspose
of putting down the rebellion. 1t is
quite certain that of this number
716,7S7 were counted more than once
by reason of re-enlistment, leaving
2,053, 391 individuals who served one
or more terms of enlistment, or state
more clearly, two fifths of the adult
male population of the States and
Territories furnishing Union troops in
'61 enlisted. Ofthese 604, 1863 are now
dead, having either been killed in
battle, died in service, or since dis
charged, by reason of disabilities in
cured therein, leaving present sur
vivcrship of | ,459, 900, or one-sixth of
bIl6 lOldl tuulG uIdlC pOpUIdOiOh III
1880 of the same States and Territor-
les. Deduct from this number those
disqualified for the Grand Army of
the Republic, aud there yet remains,
I,350,00O who have honorable dis
charges, and are by virtue thereof eli
gible to membership in this great
brotherhood of soldiers. AS near as
can be ascertained the society to-day
consists of % permanent and five pro-
visional-in all 81 departments-with
about 1900 posts and a membership
0fover 10000 veterans. There must
be m w surviving and remaining to
be recruited and enrolled in the Grand
Army of the Republic about 100000
citizen soldiers, who rendered honor
able service to their country and re-
ceived the Nations pludit. In every
hamlet, village and township in the
North are scattered the heroes of the
war, who either have not had brought
home to them the fact that there is
such an institution as the Grand
Army of the Republic, or for one
reason or another, though entitled to
membership, are not affiliated. The
average age of the Union soldier at
the date of enlistment was 26 years /;
add this to the 20 years which have
elapsed, and the average age of the
survivors Of to-day is 46 years. APP
plying to the 100000 eligible survi-
vors the ordinary morality rates for
that average, it will be found that in
1890 there will remain of the old
guard in round numbers but 1900
600. in 1895 but 1,1l0,000, in 1900 but
945, 900, in 1905 but 75S, $500, and this
is only looking forward as many
years as we must now look back for
the events which called us to arms.
The figures indicate startling para
doX, for when the Grand Army of
the Republic shall have reached its
highest point of mineral strength,
prosperity and usefulness it will have
reached its surest point of decadence
"a grand crescendo, to be followed
by. alas! too rapid diminuendO to
vanishing pOint-thereafter but
Renaissance! Within short space
of forty years from this time, ofthose
who remain the youngest wearer of
the Grand Army of the Republic
badge will be 80 years old. Instead
of being as now, to 6, he will then
be l to 1000 Of the adult male popu-
lation of that time in the State above
referred to-"
