Silling Bull has done many surprising things, but nothing more surprising than joining the Roman Catholic church. Bishop Marty of Dakota announces that the tough old warrior has been converted at Fort Randall, and after his journey on the Missouri river to join his tribe on the Standing Rock reservation, he will be re- ceived into the church, with about 40 other Sioux converts. Bishop Marty says that about 2,OOO of the 30, 900 Indians of Dakota are Roman Catholics. Sitting Bulls tribe, the Uncapapa Sioux, numbers about 4, 4,O00 Roman Catholic missionaries have labored zealously among the North American Indians almost from the first ap- pearance of whites on this continent, but hitherto without much progress.

The Hartford Times relates 3 sing,

The Hartford Times relates 8 singular case 1n medical practice, occurring in Mansfield MT. Henry H. Noble of Mans field has been successfully treated for an justification of the arteries in his lower legs and feet. He is 55 years of age, and now gets about, as well as he can, with the loss of one foot. For several years his right foot had been source of trouble, espec- tally in cold weather, owing to the very imperfect circulation. The first serious trouble was with the little toe, which be- came sore, and disclosed small hole reach ing to the bone, and which would not heal This toe, after while, became so swollen and painful that it was deemed best to re- move it at the second joint, The wound did not heal and the bone, together with the tissue, became diseased, the disease ex- tending back into the foot. The bone had to be taken out of the foot, as deeply in as the next joint, Then gangrene set in, af- fectlng the whole foot, until the tissue of the toes and upper parts of the foot were entirely consumed, leaving the bones, whenever the foot was suddenly shaken or moved, to rattle together It is said to be fact that this living man has often heard his skeleton rattle Finally the foot was amputated two inches above the ankle !o1nt Dr. F. B. Johnson of Mansfield at- tended the ease, and the sergioal opera tions were performed by Drs. T. M. Hill and F. o. Bennett of Willimantie, and F. E. Johnson. The most notable feature of the amputation was the almost total lack of any flow of blood. So completely was the circulation stopped, that it was only with some difficulty and delay that the surgeon could find the chief artery. The walls of arteries were so thickened and hardened that 1t was evident that for some tune, very little blood had passed through them; Upon dissscting the ankle it was fognd that the arteries were ossifed and enlarged for short distances. and closed. !. alternating with short artsrial sections in normal condition.

American Agriculturist Periods of mild weather occasionally occur during the winter, and where the fall blowing has been omitted, it may proftably be done later. The agency of frost in making the soil fine and increasing its fertility, is not sufficiently appreciated. If the soil be trenched or plowed after the crops are gathered and left in deep furrows, nearly twice the surface is exposed to the frost The alternate freezing and thawing breaks down the coarse Jumps and makes the plant food therein more available for the crops of the coming season. Flowing at this season also disturbs the winter retreat of many insects that will be destroyed by exposure to frost The advantage of work ing the. soil in late fall and winter is seen in the cultivation of celery. The stirring of the soil in blanching the crop, and the rough shape in which the trenches are left. give the frost and rains fair oppor- tunity to improve it's hlth. Frosts will fine the soil more perfectly than any tools of the cultivator. It not only releases the inert plant food in the soil, but makes the manure that is added more available for the crops of the next season.
 Here is a pleasant little story from the Wisconsin pineries. A&chopper named Hennessy, who got cnlppeds Dy. Ialnng tree last winter, and who is entirely unable to work, got a basket and some $1O worth of articles useful to the boys in camp, such as pins, needles, etc, and went into camp to peddle them. At the first camp he struck, one of Sherry's, the boys bought his en- tire outfit, paid him the cash, gave him g good supper and 8 bunk for the night, and on the following morning when he was about to depart the boys gave him his en- tire outfit and sent him on his way to sell again. The next camp treated him in the same way, and the next, until Hennessy, with tears in his eyes, told the boys he had enough to go home and start little shop.

 No family should be without ALLcoCH's PoR- oUs PLAsTERs; their healing powers are won- derful and their efficacy far reaching and last ing. For years past have seen and known them to cure and relieve the most obstinate and distressing cases of rheumatism, kidney complaint, bronchitis. neuralgia, lumbago, in- fammation of the lungs and throat, paralysis, asthma, spinal weakness, and coughs and colds. In my own case they have afforded me almost instant and permanent relief. My friends consider them an invaluable and speedy remedy for all kinds of aches and pains. They are blessing in disguise; and no wife or mother should be without them if she values her peace and comfort and freedom from nervous exhaustion and other ailments. As strengthening plaster, also for backaches and weaknesses, they have no equal. have never yet found plaster so efdcacious and stimulating, or to give so much general satis- faction. Used in connection with BRAND RETH's universal ife-giving and life-healing Pn1s no one need despaia of speedy res toration to good sound health.

The Senatorial Contest I'm the
i2th District.

Although all of the facts and incl
dents connected with the call for and
assemblage of the County Conven-
tion of the Democratic party in Mon
roe are fresh in the minds of the peo-
pie, it will not be Inappropriate at
this stage of the canvas to re-state
the leading points that peculiarly
bear upon the pending Senatorial
contest.
The Convention of July 2Sth met
in response to the following official
summons that was recognized and
acted upon in every Supervisors Dis
trict of the county, and accepted as
binding by every aspirant for cfiice
who proposed to submit his claims
for nomination to Democratic arbi-
trament.

In the opinion of the Memphis Appeal
"the South aud West are destined in the
future to control the political affairs OF
this country" In our opinion the Appeal
will live to realize that there is rivalry
and antagopism between the South and
West that will broaden and strengthen
with each succeeding year; while on the
other hand the South and East will be
held together by ever increasing and
trengihening social, commercial and
political bonds
Democratic success must be born Of
union between South and Cast; The
financial and commercial success of oui
people will rest upon the same founda
ton. The South and the West mus
become in the near future jealous rivals
in everything. They have nothing il
common.

The present Constitution of Ala
uama was framed in 1875 by the real
citizens thereof after they had OBJ
tained control of their State govern
ment. Under the Judicial Depart
ment, section II, is the following
clause:
"The chief justice and associate
justices of the Supreme Court, Judges
of the Circuit Courts, Probate Courts
and Chancellors shall be elected by
the qualified voters of the State" >
J0ckS0D C2drioN.
And why not go a little deeper
into the Alabama Constitution on
this question, for the benefit of your
readers?
Why not tell them that all the
judicial officers are elected for terms
Of six years, and that this Constitu-
ton provides that:---"Vacancies in
the offices of any of the Judges or
Chancellors of this State shall be fill
ed by appointment by the Governor,
and such appointee shall hold his
office for the unexpired term, and
until his successor is elected or ap-
pointed and qualified"
Thus it will be seen that the Gov
ernor of Alabama retains to large
degree the appointing power in the
matter of the Judiciary, but this
power in his hands is absolute and
without concurrence Of Senate, while
here in Mississippi there is really no
appointing power; only the power OF
the Governor to nominate to the Sen
ate, which is thoroughly represen-
tative body, and which, acting for the
people, may elect or reject at will
the man or men nominated by the
Governor.
Our friend of the Clarion could
also have enlightened his readers by
telling them that the right to elect

EDITORIAL MATTER.
From Trl-w ekly issues o Monday and F riday
The Ohio Phenomena.

The victory in Ohio was great
surprise to all parties, and the man
who claims that he anticipated it was
either grossly ignorant as to the cir
cumstances, incidents and perplexi-
ties of the campaign-speaking from
Democratic standpoint--or else he
is one of those nonentities in public
affairs whose incapacity to trace
effects to cause is as palpable as his
ignorance of the general phenomena
of politics.
The Republicans entered the oam-
paign with full contol Of Federal and
State patronage and machinery, and
as thorough and complete organiza-
ton as ever characterized the party
in that Commonwealth. The Dem
ocrats on the other hand were dis
turbed by dissensions among rival
leaders that amounted in many in
stances to antagonists that could
hardly abide the ending of the can
vas, while the leadership was weak,
spiritless and always driven to the
defensive lines. To be sure there
was something to Democratic credit
in the liquor issue that was involved
in the contest, but this license fight
had taken a pacific shape, and the
friends of prohibition managed so
well that they almost robbed the
issue of partizan taint.
If we are to look for cause for q
victory that gave Hoadly 10000
plurality and the Democrats the
Legislature by majority of from
thirty to forty, we must find it in the
tariff platform adopted by our party
in that State--a platform that de-
manded adequate protection Tor the
wool interests and guaranteed such
incidental protection to all charac ters
of manufacturing as won for the par
ty the support and confidence of the
artizans and skilled laborers of the
State.
Its effects upon the political for
tunes of Hoadly, will not amount to
much; he practically abandoned the
canvas--through sickness they said
at the most critical iuncture, and
was elected in spite of himself. IN
fact he was no more responsible for
the victory in Ohio that bore him
into office, than was Noah for the
great deluge upon whose boisterous
breast he rode in safety down to
Ararat.

Mississippi Enterprise.

last Wednesday Mr.O. F. Cawthorne,
President of the Stonewall Cotton
Factory of Clarke county, Miss, and
were little surprised to learn that
he was citizen of Aberdeen in 1S49,
in the drug business with Dunklin &
Co. Mr.. Cawthorne is a native Mis-
sissippian, and his superintendent,
7. L. Wainwright, is a native of
Alabama, while the entire working
force of the mills, some two hundred
in number, is with few exceptions
drawn from the immediate neighbor-
hood.
The paid up stock of the mills is
$780, 900, and the company owns all
Of thcSsSlges and other buildings
in the village. The capacity has
been increased eighty per cent. dur
ing the last twelve months, and the
mills now run 1000 spindles and 1870
looms, manufacturing 10000 yards
Of cloth per day, with a demand that
keeps the sales fully up to capacity
of production. These cottons are
largely distributed on the line Of the
M. & O. R. r., and chiefly handled
in great fulks by the wholesale trade
of Mobile and New Orleans. Mr..
Cawthorne had just received an order
for 100 bales of domestics from
Pollock & Co., of Mobile, when we
met him.
President Cawthorne informs us
that the Southern mills have aken
entire possession of the American
market in the matter Of coarse cotton
goods, and their production has
become so great as to make a foreign
outlet absolutely necessary in the
near future. He says that the man
ufacture Of fine cotton goods demands
an entire change Of "plant" or outfit,
and that in his opinion most Of the
mills to be hereafter erected in the
South will be for the making of fine
grade cottons and print cloths, and
that these establishments will as
thoroughly absorb the American
market, when started, as the
manufactures of coarsei fabrics now
do. There is at present but,one
factory of print cloths in the South
1t Is located in North Carolina.
We rejoice to present these pic
lures of Mississippi industry and en-
terprise to our readers, and we feel
all the more pride in doing this when
we remember that of the numerous
Factories, Mills, Congresses, etc,
now in operation or course of con
struction in the State, there is hardly
one to be found that is not strictly a
Mississippi enterprise built and con-
trolled by Southern capital, and run
and managed by Mi5sssippians and
other men of the South.
This is almost absolutely the case
in the matter of cotton and woolen
Factories, and almost equally so in
reference even to our rapidity deyel-
oping lumber interests. When Mis-
sissippi needs more money for her
enterprises than she can find in her
own pockets, she goes like all OF the
rest of the States to Wall street anC
borrows-not Northern or Western
capital-from the assembled money
changers and lenders of the world ,fol
whom the bankers and brokers O
New York are mere agents and mid
die men.

that yellow-fever is prevailing in The

and Montgomery road The town
has about 800 population. A num-,
Der of deaths have occurred, several
Of them accompanied with "black
vomit,' and yet the health officer Of
Escamba county protests against
the allegation of yellow fever.
Nevertheless Montgomery and
Mobile have quarantined against the
town, and they are right--all doubts
in matters of this kind should be
settled in favor of the outside world,
while science and bounty shoul d
hurry to the scene of distress
