West Indies have curious test for
determining whether person has negro
blood in his veins 1t is called the nose
test The negro has no division il the
grstle or cartilaginous substance of bis
nose, such as all OF pure white blood can
feel at its tip with the end OF the finger.
This is the last thing to yield to the
white succession. Any negro blood is
marked with a nose the gristle of which
is undivided, and the object of putting
this paragraph in is, says the Boston
Journal, to prove that no person will
read it through without touching the
finger to the nose. And few people af
ter they have done it can tell whether
they are white or black.
"Horse- car conductors, says a spite

None but the brave deserve the fare. J"
Shorn of all attempted witticism and
play upon words, it is pre-eminently
true that None but mertorious prepa

effects of catarrh. 1t is one of the most
lothesome maladies. and has been pro
nounced incurable Ely's Cream Balm
may be described as a gigantic tidal
wave, which, by its force of testimony,
has submerged that theory. This Balm
is pleasant pungent, popular, perfect,
powerful preparation, and certain cure
for catarrh. 1t is not liquid or snuff,
and is easily applied. Il had catarrh

land, VT, with distressing pains over

down upon my lungs. Ely's Cream Balm

of its effects in the same grateful strain.
Mr.. Cox's MoTIvE-It isn't often
that man really kills two birds with
one stone. But Mr. Sunset Cox really
seems to have accomplished that feat
with his letter to the Irish Convention in
Philadelphia. At least this has been
suggested on all sides here. On the
one hand, his district is Irish to a de-
gree, and after that letter he ought to be
sure of perpetual reelection with or
without regular nomination. On the
other nand, are there not various pro
fessional Irishmen, SO to speak, in the
next House of Representatives, and is
not Mr. Coxa candidate for Speaker?
The Hon. "Pat" Collins, of Massachu
setts, and John F. Finerty, Of Chicago,
will be IN the next House. William E..
Robinson, of New York, would probably
vote for Mr.. Cox anyhow. But there
are also Patrick B. Tully, Of California;
J. H. Murphy, Iowa; Robert w. Fyap,
Missouri, and Martin A. Foran, OF
Cleveland, with others. That letter
may bring Mr.. Cox half a dozen votes,
and it makes his canvass most formida-
ble.-Neeo York Tribune.
