Twisted Bones,

Mr.. J. II. Stewart, Of Macon, Ga, q
well known and trustworthy gentle.
man, makes the following statement
''My son, who was between three and
four years old, was all drawn up with
rheumatism. His bones were twisted,
and inc was all doubled out of shape.
He suffered intense pain, had lost his
appetite, was cross and frctful. He
was reduced to a mere skeleton, and
had to be carried about on pillow.
AS these cases of rheumatism, where
the bones were twisted and the joints
were all crooked, had for years baffled
the skill of the most eminent physi-
clans, | determined to use Swift's
Specific, as / had seen testimonials
from men whom knew to be trust
worthy, of similar cases it had cured.
| used two largo size bottles of S. S. S.
according to directions, with the most
menced improving with the first dose
of the medicine. His sufferings di-
minished daily and his appetite in
creased; he became cheerful and in
good spirits. Gradually he regained
use of his limbs, the twisted bones and
joints straighteucd out and in less than
two months he was entirely cured,
and could walk and get about as well
rs any child of his age.

a DEMOCRATIC RALLY.

The National Capital In BIaro of Pyro-
tcchnics--TheD Democrats of tho District of
Columbia Ratify the Nomination.
WASHINGTON, September 11.-Thc
Democracy of the District of Colum-
bia ratified the nomination of Clcve-
land and Hendricks by q grand open
air demonstration tonight. The street
parade of local Democratic organiza-
tions, and Democratic clubs from the
country meeting OH the plaza in front
of the City Hall, speeches from men
prominent in Democratic ranks, and
the adoption of resolutions expressive
of the loyalty of the Democrats of the
district to the standard-bearers of the
party, constituted the important fea-
lures of the ratification. Electric
lights, n grand display of fireworks,
music, flags, and the booming of
cannon, were accomp animcnts. The
procession was headed by the Jackson
Democratic Association, the oldest
Democratic organization in the district,
and following came four divisions
composed Of the District clubs and
visiting organizations from Virginia
and Maryland.
1t is estimated that 5000 torches
were in line, and the transparencies
aboundcd, bearing significant inscrip-
tions. AS the line turned into the
Avenue and Fifteenth street thousands
Of rockets, bombs and Roman candles
were set off and at intervals cannon,
drawn by horses, doomed heavily.
The sidewalk along the line of march
were packed with moving mass of
humanity and the colored population
of the District turned out in force to
view the procession. Pennsylvania
Avenue, during the progress of the
procession, presented a scene Of rare
magnificence. Powerful electric lights,
enclosed in retlectors, at the capitol
and treasury, and scores Of smaller
electric lights along the line Of march
poured floods Of light upon q sea Of
fire Of thousands of torches.
The meeting proper was held direct
ly in front of the City Hall and the
large plaza was packed with q dense
gathering, numbering many thous-
ands, who were addressed from three
stands simultaneously. The principal
stand, erected Oh the portion of the
City Hall and just behind the Lincoln
statue, was magnificently decorated
with national cmblcms, and portraits
OF the candidates, the 1lags of all na-
tions being prominently displayed.
The electric light, Chinese lanterns
and gas made the sconc as brilliant as
day. On the principal stand were the
leaders of the District Democracy and
eminent Democrats from abroad.
Among them were several members of
Congress. a large concoursc of pco-
pie filled all the space on the City Hall
portico and the steps in the rear of
this stand. The feature of this gather
ing was the large proportion Of ladies
present. The principal speakers here
were Senator Jones, of Florida; Hon.
Bradley II. johnson, of Maryland; ;
Representatives Murphy, of Iowa,
Ellis, of Louisiana, and Post, Of Penn
sylvania. Overlooking meetings were
addressed by Epps Hunton, General
Rosecrans, Col. d. M. Ball, of Alex
andria, and State Senator e. e. Mere

Tho Horrible Confession of IL Brute In
Human Form.
ST.. JOSEPH, Mo-, September o.
Oliver III. Bateman, young man ar
rested for the double crime Of murder
and previous outrage committed on
the, two little Mclaughlin girls near
Flat Springs, August 81, last night
made a confession TO a reporter of the
ST.. Joseph Gazette, who interviewed
him in Savannah Jail. He minutely
detailed everything connected with the
horrible deed, and now stands prepared
10 meet his fate. The fact of his con-
tession is unknown to tho people Of
Savannah at the present writing, but
when 1t becomes known Bateman will
probably be lynched. In his confes.
sion Bateman says that he was home
when the girls came there. He saw
them go into,the, woodspto pick hazel
nuts and followed them fifteen minutes
afterwards. They were near the end
of corn-field when he came uD with
them. While he was talking he saw
Henry Knappenberger pass. He then
induced the children to go further into
the corn-fold, and while the eldest was
walking i'll front of him he shot her.
She turned around and rs she did so
he shot her again, killing her instant
ly. The other girl then started to run,
but he followed and caught her. She
begged SO hard for him to let her 60
that he came very near allowing her
to do SO. lie did let go of her, but
knowing she would tell he again
caught her, threw her down and cut
her throat. 1t was fifteen or twenty
minutes after Knappenbergcr passed
that he shot the eldest girl. After
killing the younger girl he went back
to his first victim and outraged her
person, after which he mutilatcd her
so as to create The impression that it
was the deed of a crazy man. The
eldest girl said nothing after he shot
her, but the other girl cried out and
he held his hand over her mouth to
prevent her being heard. After these
horrible occurrences he went to the
creek, washed his hands, threw his
knife into the stream and then wcnl
home. When the father of the girls
came to his house inquiring for him he
offered to go and help search for them,
but his relatives would not allow him,
rs they thought he was i'll. The ficnd
declares that he was induced to con-
fcss owing to the ecircumstantial manner
in which Henry Knappcnbcrger had
been accused Of the crime.

DICKENS INDICATED,
An Admirer of the Novelist Proves that Bill
Syltes's Hanging was Practical,

Sykes's Hanging was Practical.
PHILADELPHIA, September 11.-At
the inquest to-day on the body of j. III.
Barry, who was thought to have COM
mitted suicide by hanging, it was
shown that his death was the result of
a curious accident. He had been ell
gagged in an argument to prove that
Bill Sykes could been hanged in the
manner described by Dickens, and to
settle all doubt said he would demon
strate how Sykes was hung. Yester-
day morning he was found hanging to
the door in his room. The rope was
not tied around his neck, neither did It
look as if it had been Intentionally
fastened to the knob of the door. The
witnesses say the case is one of acci-
dental hanging, ara the jury after
hearing their testimony g2ve q verdict
to that effect. .

There is some apprehension of rot in po-
tatoc5 for signs have already been seen. In
some fields where farmers are digging to sell
they find now occa5ional appearances of rot,
and they have therefore uneasy apprehension
regarding the safety Of the crop. What is
best to DO when rot is imminent is O question
that has never been satisfactorily answered,
if, indeed, farmer can do anything better
than to let the disease take lis course. 1t will
not do to take the potatoes out and store for
winter use before they are fully mRtured, yet
they may be badly affected by rot before this
stage is reached. When the proper time
comes for digging, the potatoes fully ripe, it
is probably better TO take them out Of the
ground ct once and dry them in tho sun, then
put away in the shade with partial protection
from atmospheric influences In this condi-
ton rot may continue, but there is less risk
than when the potatoes are left IL the ground,
while, on the othor hand, there is q certainty
that if loss occurs after digging it is loss of
labor in digging besides the potatoes.

In answer to a correspondent who seems

Two common wild shrubs bear very SINH

which there are two common kinds in the
Northern states, is closely related to the birch,
which it resembles. By non-botaniat5 the
two species are not generally separately dis.

Cling shrubs in low places with dark, birch

edible brown berries. calder berries is,
therefore, an erroneous term. The elder be-

that some one has, or may be led to believe er-

the names, elder and alder. For once we Of
