AnOther SeriOus Accident.

Again we are called upon to record
a railroad accident that will in all
probability prove fatal to the injured
man. A german, who talks but little
English, and a stranger in the city, is
the victim Of his own carelessneSs
this time. His name, so near as any
one in these parts knows 1T, is August
Graceprach-that is what Officer
Chenneville says he told him it was
and yesterday, as the four o'clock
train from the south was backing up
to the station, in undertaking to board
it he, slipping, fell under the
wheels of the car. The car passed
over his left foot and leg, entirely
severing the foot from the limb and
otherwise mangling his body. He
was at once taken to the city hospital,
and Drs. Cummings and Graves
were called to attend him. They am
putated his limb just below the knee
and hope to save his life, though DR..
Cummings told STATESMAN repre-
sentative the chances were against
it at this time of the year as the
shock was so great.
Why the man tried to get upon the
train in the manner he did is a good
deal of a mystery. He told DR.. Cum
mings that he had been working as a
section hand, and went to the train to
get his money; he told other parties
that he just come from the mountains
and was going back; and to others he
told still another story. Mr.. Lawless
says he was trying to get upon the
train for some purpose at the time he
fell, and this is about all that can be
learned, but he had not purchased a
ticket to any point.

Ritter Bread.

Complaint is frequently made by
those who use baking powders that
they leave in bread, biscuit, or cake
raised by them diSagreeable, bitter
taste. This taste follows the use of
all impure baking powders, and is
caused either by their containing
alum introduced to make cheap
article), by the impure and adulter-
ated character of other ingredients
used, or from the ignorance of their
manufacturers of the proper methods
of combining them. These baking
powders leave in the bread a residuum
formed of lime, earth, alum, or other
deleterious matters, not always,
though frequently, tastable in the
food, and by all physicians classed as
injurious to health. The Royal
Baking Powder is free from this Sc
rious defect. In its use no residuum
is left, and the loaf raised by it is al
ways sweet, light and wholesome,
and noticeably free from the peculiar
taste complained of. The reason of
this is because it is composed of moth
ing but absolutely pure materials,
scientifically combined in exactly the
proper proportions of acid and alkali
to a t upon and destroy each other,
while producing the largest amount
of raising power. We are justified in
this assertion by the unqualified
statements made by the government
chemists, who after thorough and ex-
haustive tests recommended the
Royal" for government use because
of its superiority over all others in
purity, strength and wholesomsness.
There is no danger of bitter bread or
biscuit where it alone is used.

THE Isle Of Ischia. only eight miles
distant from the Italian mainland at
Cape Miseno, north of Naples, guards
the Bay of Naples, on the north, as
Capri lies before it on the south. 1t is
abont six miles long by four broad,
and is very fertile, producing grapes,
figs and corn in abundance, and has a
population of some $4,000 souls. Sui
phur abounds on the island, and there
are numerous hot springs and baths,
especially near the village of Casamic-
cola, at the foot of Mount San Nicolo
or Mount Epomeo-an extinct volca-
no in the center of the islet, from
whose sides there is gradual slope in
every direction to the sea. The baths
make the island popular resort for
tourists and others at Naples. The
village of Casamicciola. which was
leveled to the ground with appalling
loss oflife, had about 1000 inhabitants.
Foria or Forio, also destroyed, had
population of some $500; Lacco, an
other sufferer, 1900. The town of
Ischia, the most important on the is
land, at its northeastern point, has
about $500 people. 1t appears that
fully one-fifth of its inhabitants were
destroyed by the late earthquake,

that are being made by this wonderful medi-
cine. Mr.. Blanchard says 81 have been
greatly troubled for over six years with acute
kidney disease, with severe pain in my back
and hips. L was formerly employed on the
Boston and Lowell railroad, but was obliged
owing to the constant jar, to give up the rail-
road business, as many others have been
obliged to do, on account of kidney disease
have tried many medicines, but received NO
permanent relief. A friend recommended me
to use Hunts Remedy. 1 purchased bottle
of one of our druggists in Lowell, and COM
menced to improve at once, and after using
two bottles was entirely free from all pain,
and consider myself cured, and 1 cheerfully
recommend this wonderful medicine, Hunts
Remedy, to all the sufferers from kidney and
liver disease"

r. L. GREENER, the colored professor
and politician of Washington, says
that the negro holds the balance of
power in Virginia and other Southern
states, and believes that there is ample
chance for the Democratic party, ma
tional and state, by changing it's
policy, or, as some say, by going back
to the early principles of the party to
make inroads into the hitherto close
column of the black contingent of the
Republican party. He thinks the col
ored voter is very FESTIVE and inclined
to kick, and instances the threats in
the call for Mr.. Douglass's convention,
the mutterings of the negro press
convention at st. Louis, the recent
meeting and resolutions of the colored
of South Carolina. If
the colored voters of the country
could be made to fully understand the
tariff, the manner in which they are
taxed as consumers, they would aban-
don the party that holds up for mo-
that the masses may be OPP
pressed in their favor.

A GALL has been issued in Mary
land for colored mems state conven-
ton in Baltimore, September Ii, to
elect delegates to the Louisville con-
vention. The call sets forth the de-
plorable attitude of the colored voters
of Maryland from the lack of political
organization; charges that it is the
policy of the white Republicans to
keep the colored voters dtsorganized;
appeals to the colored people to be
more liberal and less partisan in state
and municipal politics; claims that
they would be powerful political
necessity, if properly organized; asks
for the promotion of their educa-
tional interests as duty, and pro-
poses a united effort to have the color
line obliterated from the laws of the
state.

The New York Herald advocates
a national postal telegraph, but OPP
poses the buying out of the existing
telegraph companies or an attempt on
the part of the United States to mon
Opolize the business. Mr.. Creswell,
when he was postmaster general
recommended the establishment of
the postal telegraph, but we believe
his idea was to extinguish the tele-
graph companies. There could be no
constitutional objection raised to
such a course on the part of the gov
eminent, and it would be great con-
venience to the people, who must
avail themselves of the speediest and
cheapest mode of communication.

While there is universal sentiment
in the south, of late especially strong,
urging the necessity for the Inaugural
ton of manufacturing enterprises, it
is found that in many localities where
the field seems to be the most promis-
ing, the capital is wanting that would
be required for the erection of the
larger establishments, such as cotton,
wooden and other mills. The manu-
featuring craze" therefore, generally

of our people appear to think that
unless they can begin some grand

moth mill or establishment, they can
do nothing in the way of manufac-
turing. They make a grievous mis-
take just here and are standing there
by in the light of their own progress,
profit and independence. The South
needs large mills, undoubtedly, and it
does not speak well for the prosperity
and enterprise of such cities as Dallas
and others of its size that they have
not long ere this put such establish
ments on foot. But there are other
industries of smaller or less preten.
tiouS character that the South needs
as badly as she does cotton or wooden
mill industries, many of which can
be run on small or large capital. She
needs factories for the manufacture OF
machinery and implements for the
farm. If the capital in certain local
ity, feeling the need of the prese1c CT
of factories and mills, is not sufficient
to start and maintain great indus
tales, there are a multitude of small
ones, equally as profitable and useful
that can be inaugurated and managed
uccessfully.-Dallas Herald.

HOME, FARM AND RANCH.

The Turf, Field and Farm, than
which there is no better authority on
the subject, says that Gin buying
horse, first look at his head and eyes
for signs of intelligence, temper, cour-
age and honesty. Unless the horses
has brains, you cannot teach him to
do anything we'll If bad qualities

ears small and thin and thrown well
forward. The horse that turns his
ears back now and then is not to be
trusted. He is either bitter or a
kicker, and is sure to be vicious in
other respects, and, being naturally
vicious, can never be trained to do
anything well, and so a horse with a
rounding nose, tapering forehe I'd and
a broad, full face between the eyes,
is always treacherous and not to be
depended on. Avoid the long-legged,
stilted animal-alway choosing one
with short, straight back, and with
withers high and shoulders sloping,
well set back, and with good depth of
chest, fore legs short, hind legs
straight, with low down hook, short
paStern joints, and round, mulish
shaped foot"
BALKY HoRsEs.-A society for the
prevention of cruelty to animals re-
commends the following rules for the
treatment of balky horses: 1. Pat the
horse upon the neck, examine the har-
ness carefully, first on one side and
then on the other, speak encouragingly
while doing so, then jump into the
wagon and give the word go; gener-
ally he will obey. 2. A teamster in
balky horse by taking him out OF the
shafts and making him go round in
circle. If the first dance of this kind
does not cure him, the second will be
sure to do it. 3. To cure balky horse
simply place your hand over the
horses nose and shut off the wind till
he wants to go; then let him go. The
brains of horse seem to entertain
but one idea at a time; thus col tinued
whipping only confirms his stubborn
resolve. If you can by ony means
give him a new subject to think of,
you will have no trouble in starting
him. A simple remedy is to take a
couple of turns of stout Irvine around
the fore leg, just below the knee, and
tie in bow knot AT the first check
he will go dancing off; and after going
short distance you can get out and
remove the string to prevent injury
in your further drive.
THE WORK OF AN EDIToR.-The
duties of the genuine dyed-in-the-
wool, simon-pure editor, are multi
farious and multi luminous. His work
is not only to 'do little writin'," as
is sometimes supposed, but to Gull, to
CLEAN, to select, to discriminate, to de-
eide, to foresee, to observe, to grasp,
to explain, to elucidate, to initiate, to
boil down, "to be, to do and to suffer-"
and several hundred other verbs, with
a large number of districts yet to hear
from.-Ex.

THE British government has felt
itself called upon to legislate in be-
half of the oppressed candidates for
parliament. 1t fixes the maximum
beyond which the expenditure of
money cannot go. Comparisons can
not be made between British and
American practices, because in Eng
land the candidate has been obliged
to pay the expenses of polling places
and election officers. 1t was stated
recently by the British attorney-gen-
eral in debate in the commons that
the last parliamentary election cost
the candidates the enormous sum of
E, 100000. The present bill reduces
these expenses to 100000. 1t may
be presumed, therefore, that Ell, 100000
or in round numbers SS.5O0,Oo0 have
heretofore been spent in improper in
ifuehce upon voters = an enormcu us
sum, certainly, and one not creditable
to the moral condition of the English

there is in England a queens proctor,

it comes to his ears that a divorce is

case it was notorious that man and
wife were in this condition, and no
divorce can be obtained.
