IN NEW BRUNSWICK.

At the close of my last letter we
were in the cabin of the May Queen
amusing ourselves with the piano.
We soon tired of that amusement,
and to the great satisfaction of the
other passengers we left the cabin
and went on deck to watch the pro-
ceedings of the steamship and crew
and the way the commerce of the
great river was carried on. The May
Queen being a steamship Of course
could not be flat bOttomed and there
fore could not run on shore like the
FlOrcnceville of orr mornings ride.
And if she had been obliged to stop
at all the villages and even some of
the tarm-hOuses on shore it would
have interfered greatly with her max
inc good time down the river, to this
following in the way in which the
traffic was promulgated.
All along the shores of the river
are many nice farms and some quite
respectable farm buildings, and as
the river is almost the only avenue Of
trade open to the people Of their sec
ton of course each farmer has small
lowboat or skiff. Some of these boats
are twenty feet long and more. The
farmer loads his boat with whatever
he wishes to send to market, and
pulls into the middle of the stream.
OF course he knows at about what
time to expect the steamer as they
run very regular, and he gets in hel
track and waits for her. AS shf
comes near to him she stops her en-
gines and floats along with the cur
rent. The little boat runs up along
side. and men on the, steamer reacl

boat and bring her close up to tn

5 boats are in motion, the little carg
e is unloaded, the boat cast off, an

Experiment with Fertilizers.-I will
give you the result of an experiment [
made with Bradley's Phosphate and two
others which are very well known. [
prepared my field by spreading manure
alike all over the field, and narrowing it
in. In nearly the center of the field
planted three rows, using one Of the phoS-
pilates on the first row. Bradley's on the
second, and the other phosphate on the
third, equal amounts of each. The rows
were of equal length, and the hills of equal
distance apart. When | dug the rows, |
weighed the potatoes from each row sep
arately, and the result was as follows =
First row yielded 101 pounds; second
row, on Bradleys, yielded 205 pounds /;
third row yielded 184 pounds. This sat
isles me what fertilizer to use, and |
shall want Bradey's Phosphate in future.

Eating Their Companion.

LEwEs, Del Nov. 2S.-The stories
told by Bertrand and Hansen, the
pilot and seaman picked up by the
schooner Emma T. Angel, both
agree that the flesh of Swanson,
their dead companion, was eaten.
Bertrand denies that he partook
of it. Hansen admits that be ate
pieces of Swanson's flesh, and
thinks Bertrand did too. The two
rescued men and Swanson left the
pilot boat Turley IN a skiff early
on Monday morning to put Thomas
Marshall, a pilot. on board the
steamship Pennsylvania, bound for
Philadelphia. After doing this they
started back to the Turley, which
was beating to and fro off the Five
Fathom Lightship.
A heavy sea was running, and
soon after leaving the Pennsylvania
they lost their bearings. Without
food, water or compass when day
light broke, they found themselves
rapidly drifting out to sea. By
Tuesday afternoon they were suffer
ing terribly from hunger, thirst and
cold, and Swanson, who had be-
bone delerious, threw overheard
the oars and everything within his
reach. He died early on Wednes :.
day morning, and the Othe' IS,
mad with thirst, cut strips Of
flesh from the body and raveno' isly
devoured them. Their rescue took
place late in the afternoon. Bert.
rand says that Swanson, a few hours
before his death, drew his k, life and
attempted to kill, him but was too
weak to execute his insane desire.

Poisons Four Children . nd Himself

SPRINGFIELD, O.. November 27.-
Dr. John Maxwell yesterday after
noon, after sending b is wife to town
to shop, administered to his four
children aged from four to thirteen
years, a mixture of aconite and
chloroform. He then placed cloths
saturated with chloroform over their
faces and placed them on bed.
He administered similar dose to
himself and laid down to die with
them. When Mrs. Maxwell return
ed the oldest girl was dead and the
others were unconscious.
Assistance was summoned and ev-
cry effort was made to revive them,
but during the night two more Of
the children died. Maxwell revived
somewhat and was placed in Jail.
He refused to talk. He had writ
ten letters saying be was tired of
life and wanted the children to go
with him to avoid suffering. He
had recently been indicted for libel
ing another physician, and this, to-
gether with business embarrass-
ments. is supposed to have melted
him to the act,

Cure for Piles.

Piles are frequently preceded by
a sense of weight in the back, loins
and lower part ofthe abdomen, caus-
ing the patient to suppose he has
some affection of the kidneys or
neighboring organs At times,
symptoms of indigestion are present,
as flatulency, uneasiness of the stom-
ach, ect. A moisture, like perspira-
ton, producing very disagreeable
itching, after getting warm, is COM
mon attendant. Blind, Bleeding and
Itching Piles yield at once to the ap-
plication of DIR. Bosanko's Pile Rem

Democratic Tricks In Indiana.

INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 25.-A re-
count of the votes for the Offices of
County Treasurer and County Com
missioner at the late election hav-
ing been demanded by the Repub-
hcan candidates, the commissioners
met to-day to begin the work.
They found on entering the room
in the Court House where the bal
lots are kept that the boxes of three
precincts had been carried off and
the ballots in the others had been
emptie1 on the floor. and so mixed
up with ballots of 1882 as to make
it almost impossible to separate
them. This will probably defeat
the efforts Of the unsuccessful can
didates to secure the offices. The
majoritles of the present successful
candidates were less than fifty.

,er,a;n men Who had taken part in

certain men who had taken part in
sending delegates to the convention,
and others who had actually taken
part in the convention itself as dele
gates, saw fit to oppose the candi-
dates thus selected. Such men who
in a great National contest where
Democrats cannot reasonably expect
forthwith to take part in selecting
other Republican candidates.
1t must be assumed that they
knew what they we're about and mad
what they considered sufficient rea-
son for preferring a transfer of the
National Government to Democrat
ic hands. If they are not frivolous
and light minded persons, they do
not at the same time desire to In
trust the Presidency to the Demo
Gratis and some minor offices to the
Republicans. If they do not recog-
nize radical differences of principle
between the two parties, they are
not Republicans. and have no claim
to that honorable name. If they do
not perceive the irreconcilable an
tagonism in tendency and spirit be-
tween the two parties, or if, percely-
ing that antagonism, they have de-
liberately chosen to turn over the
Government of the United States to
the Democratic party with its known
spirit and proved tendencies, they
should at any rate be a little slower
in seeking 70 renew political associa-
ton with men against whom they
have been using not only honorable
but the most dishonorable weapons.
But is may be safely assumed that
the Republican voters elsewhere as
well as in New Haven, will insist
that man cannot be Republican.
and at the same time strive to have
the United States governed by the
Democratic party.
There are voters who refused to
support the Republican candidates
at the recent election, but have since
realized what they have done and
are very sorry for it already. Let
them reflect that they cannot expect
sincere Republicans to welcome or to
trust them as faithful associates un-
til they have given proof of their re-
turn. They have spoken by their
votes, and must speak again by their
votes before their regard for Repub-
lican principles can be met with
confidence. There is no vindictive-
ness of spirit in such rule; on the
contrary, no party could expect to
exist month if it should give the
same voice.in its councils to those
who try to defeat it that it gives
those who are faithful to its cause.
Sincere and honorable men, VINO re-
alize that they have erred in helping
the Democratic party to win its vic
tory, are quite sure to have too much
self-respect to thrust themselves into
the councils of the Republicans un-
It'll they have done something to
prove their desire to undo the mis-
chief they have done.

A Democratic Thanksgiving.

RICHMOND, Va, November 27.-
Thanksgiving day was more gener-
ally observed here to-day than ever
before. A feature OF the observance
was the largely attended Thanks
giving supper given by the Union
Democratic club tonight at which q
mammoth English plum pudding
was served. The pudding weighed
2l9 pounds, one pound for each
Cleveland electoral vote, Fifteen
dollars was paid by an enthusiastic
citizen for the privilege of cutting
the first piece, weighing twelve
pounds, representing the electoral
vote of Virginia, to be sent to Cover
nor Cleveland. Mite" boxes were
about the table and a
large amount of money was contrib.
uted for the poor of the city.

Mrs. Muliiken Pays Her Bet.

BosToN, Mass, Nov. 26.-Early
yesterday forenoon a little striped
tent was erected on the fremont
street mall of the Common. Upon
an adjacent tree hung a sign bear
ing the inscription Paying an
election bet" Shortly after 8 O'Clock
number of paper bags containing
peanuts were exposed on a rude
counter placed at the opening OF
the tent, within which stood a gray
haired and comfortable-looking lady
with good.Da.ured yisage, calmly
awaiting customers.
The lady is Mrs. John Mulliken,
and for the current day she had a
license to vend peanuts from 9 A. NJ.
to 9 P. NJ. She was of the opinion
prior to the election that Cleveland
would have 10000 plurality in
New York, and backed that opinion
with wager of $50. to be earned as
just described. Up to noon she
had sold eight bushels OF peanuts
and business was very brisk. An
enthusiastic crowd surrounded the
booth all day, and cheered the old
lady to the echo.

HINTON, w. Va, Nov, 26.-New
rumors of the plague in the south
ern part of this State, in Western
Virginia and in Eastern Kentucky
are fast giving way to startling facts.
The centre of the afflicted district
is in Dickson county, Virginia, in
the midst of the Cumberland
Mountains, and oves one hundred
miles from the nearest railway sta
ton. The greatest destitution pre-
walls, and the cold weather is sure
to cause such a mortality as even
the present state of affairs has not
begun to equal. The last rainfall
was on August 3, unless it has fall
len within q week.
The last person arriving here
from that section was CONNER
cial traveller for Baltimore house,
who left Leesburg one week ago
yesterday. He says business is at
standstill. Crops are failure.
Many families have not bushel of
grain nor head of live stock left.
Medicines are exhausted, and ply
sicians are nearly all dead from
oyerwork. Corpses lie for days un-
buried. In many instances water
is carried three and four miles in
buckets. There is no running
water eft. Louisa River has not
sufficient water in it to float a chip,
save in pools. The fish are dead
by tons. Indeed, it is asserted that
there is not live fish in six or sew
en- counties. AS the water evaporat-
ed, that which remained naturally
retained all the salts and Minerals.
1t is believed that drinking this wa
ter produced the disease.
The disease is not contagious.
That belief arose from the fact that
everybody was taken with the same
symptoms, the ignorant population
not reasoning as to the real cause.
Lack of sufficient and proper food
greatly increases the mortality.
The latest estimates place the num-
Der of deaths at 1000.
The patient is seized with vertigo,
heavy fever, complete unconscious
ness, with involuntary discharges
much colored with blood. Death
ensues in about ten hours, the vic
tim suffering intensely. The scenes
of distress are terrible. All the
people are poor mountaineers, most
of them living i'll log houses of two
rooms, occupied by from two to a
dozen persons. In some instances
the disease has swept away whole
families, the last member to die be-
ing left unburied.
Up the mountain passes and
along the small streams in the val
leys are to be found scores of houses
unoccupied because their owners
are dead. Animals suffer the same
symptoms as men. The cries of
children, begging food, are pitiful
If relief is sent it must be soon, be-
fore the roads are blocked with
snow. There is little of the plague
in West Virginia, only portions of
Mcdowell, Mercer and Logan Count
les suffering. The deaths there do
not exceed 200, but the loss to
stock and crops will be 100000.

GLEANINGS.
The White Mans Country.
Macon(Ga.) } Telegraph.

MacontGa.) Telegraph.
Let it be remembered that all
along, even in the face of paid op-
pressors and hostile bayonets, the
principle that this is white mans
country, to be ruled and governed by
white men, was laid down and ad-
hered to. 1t will hardly be expect
ed that this will he abandoned
now. The negro is a laborer. His
place is in the workshop and in the
field. He is mentally, morally, and
physically inferior to the white
race. His old masters are still his
masters in a general sense; but he
has the benefit of the law which
applies to all free men. He need
not expect to rule in high places
nor TO sit in Judgment. He has
only to fill his sphere and obey the
laws. AS long as he does this he
need have no fears for his safety;
but if he forgets the lesson that for
twenty years have been impressed
upon him, he is responsible for the
consequences.

!. TOLEDO, November 25.-The great
est local sensation of the year in To-
ledo eliminated to-day in the Open
ing of the trial of Sir Cherries E.
Melville, bart, alias Sir Roger Artirer
Tichborne, alias Charles Newbold,
charged with bigamy. He lme to
Toledo, May 2, in compans with
Lillian, youngest daughter OF c. J.
Whitney, the millionaire music pub
Usher, of Detroit. He had been EN-
ployed as coachman by Whitney,
and in teaching the daughter to ride
had taught her to love him. She
was Is years old and he 40. They
were married here. but we're discov-
cred and separated by Whitney.
Neiveille was locked up in Jail and
Miss Whitney in an asylum.
While in Jail Neiveille made a
startling assertion that he was the
long lost Tichborne heir. He told
the story circumstantially then, and
sticks to it now. He is a distinguish
ed looking man, Of British caste,
and talks cockney. Whitney en-
ployed a detective, and econ learned
that Neiveille had two wives in De-
troit one in Schenectady, and one in
Peterboro Ontario that be had mar
ried Celina Maud Role, of Newark,
N, J., few months before that he
had wife in Paterson, N. j., and
had served a term in Sing Sing and
one in Montreal for bigamy, and,
finally, that be had eloped with the
jailer's wife at Campbellsford Onta-
rio. His names were as numerous
as his wives Of whom, it is estimated,
he had not less than ten. Most of
them are still living.
To-day two of the women he had
married, Lillian Whitney and Celina
Maud Role, faced him in the court
room. Two men who had married
him and two witnesses to different
ceremonies also appeared, The de-
fense in the case tried 10 delay pro-
ceedings. but in vain. A jury was
impanneled late in the afternoon
and two witnesses were Examined
for the states. One testified to CIV
ing a marriage license to Neiveille
and Whitney, the other to marrying
them. Neiveille claims to have pa
pers in his possession which will
prove his innocence. Miss Whitney
who was thought to be insane at tie
time OF the marriage, is now deter
mined to shoot the prisoner.

much attention outside the state
where it was practiced. But now,
that the seed sown then has

Bold Robbers.

Troy. N. Y, November 2S.-Wm.
Barss. of Chester, Warren county,
was called to the door of his house
on Wednesday night, by a person
who said he had been sent to notify
him that one of his relatives was
sick. As Barss opened the door he
was seized by two men and bound.
They then placed a revolver at his
head and compelled him to give up
his gold watch, after which they
searched the house and secured
81. 500 The robbers were masked
and had dark lanterns.
