All the accounts from the disease stricken
mountain region between Kentucky, West Viz

people OF the affected district are In imminent

a Western exchange has a curious story about
the lamcntcd De Longs time-pieces. Before
setting sail on the ill-starred Jeanette cxped
tion, lac asked his wife to be very careful not to
let her watch run down, adding that it was IA
good deal to ask a woman to remember even a
little thing during the two years he expected to
be absent She was faithful to her trust,
winding the watch every night, and also
nckel-plated clock on her mantclpcce. One
ght both the watch and the clock stopped, and
precisely at the same minute. y jcwccr found
that the mlinspring of the watch had snapped
The clock was uniniured and apparently had
stopped out Of sympathetic feeling for the
watch. Mrs. De Long made a note of this
singular circumstance in her diary, but did not
attach importance to IL until her husbands
journals were placed In her hands In these
she found corresponding entry for the same
day, showing that her husbands watch and the
ships chronometcr had stopped simultaneously
and at precisely the same hour and minute Mt
which her own watch and nickel plated clock
had suspended operations This Is the story for
which Mrs. DO Long is represented by The
Milwaukee Sentinel as vouchng rs trustworthy.

CORPORATION Counsel Lacombe has reason to be
proud of the record of legal work accomplished for
thc city by his Office since hs appointment last
June II furnishes evidence of an industry and
vigor that might well no initiated in some of the
other city departments Old claims against the
city amounting to more than 81 100000, that at
tornoys or parties have failed to prosecute with
proper diligence have been swept out OF the courts
and all the litigation pending against the city has
been brought down to a comparatively recent date.
The fact however, that viii commend itself most
fayorably to the minds of taxpayers IS that out OF
the largo number of suits tried before urles since
Mr. Lacombc became Corporation Counsel, and
which involve claims for more than T350,OOO, the
total amount of tho verdicts rendered Is only

In spasm of common sense, seldom wit
messed in corporations SO literally supplied
with legal counsel as the elevated railways are.
the companies have finally decided to pay to
the city the taxes assessed upon their property.
The act is somewhat in the nature of a COM
promise, but ii is rather too sided to be called
30. The municipal authorities have slightly
reduced the amount sought to be recovered,
but the companies pay over about $l,3OOOOO.
This sum. by the way, will just offset the
amount the city has to hand out to meet the
Navarro water meter claims. Now let the sur
face street railways follow the example OF their
elevated brethren, and pay up what they owe
without more ado.

Flowers exhibit many powers and
properties which the science of man has
never been able to explain. 49,
Some will instantly close upon the
slightest touch. Some will hutter, as If
in alarm, upon sudden exposure to in
tense light. Some seem possessed OF
limited power Of 1oComotion.
A certain species of wild oats, when
placed upon a table, will spontaneously
move; pea-blossoms always turn their
backs upon the wind; the heliotrope
always turns their faces to the sun; the
tulip opens its petals when the weather
is fine, but closes them during rain and
darkness; the pond-lilly closes its pure
white leaves at night, as it lies on Its
watery bed, but unfolds them again in
the morning.
On the other hand, some flowers open
only at night. The splendid flower,
the night-blooming cereus, is of this
kind; it opens but once, and that IN
the night, for few nights only, then
willis and dies, without ever admitting
the light of day into its BOSOM.
Some open and shut at certain hours,
and that so regularly as to indicate
the time of day, like the sindrimal OF
Hindostan, which opens at four in the
evening and closes sat four in the morn
ing.
Doctor Good describes water plant
which at a certain season detaches itself
from its stem, and like a gallant sultor,
sails complacently over the waters IN
pursuit of a mate, till he finds her.
Other flowers there are, as the nepen-
thes, that will adroitly catch flies and
devour them. Others again possess a
most extraordinary luminous property;
the nasturtium, if plucked during sun
shine, and carried into a dark room,
will there show itself by its own light.
A plant that abounds in the jungles
of Madura illumines the ground to a
distance all around; and many species
of lichens, creeping around the roofs of
caverns, lend to them an air ofenchant-
ment by the soft and clear light they
| difuse.
Who can explain to us these phenom-
ena of flowers? Who but must see that
the hand and counsel of Infinite Wis
dom are concerned in the production
of these vegetable wonders?

EFT, young man twenty-five years
of age, committed suicide by taking
morphine. He was employed on DR..
Shelborner's farm near Lebanon, seven
miles west of here. He took the fatal
drug Saturday evening, and only died
from the effects at o'clock
last night. A memorandum book
was found in his pocket in which il
was written that he wished to be bur.
led at Rowlett creek cemetery. No
cause was assigned for the rash act.

think that after the trade has had time
TO adjust itself 10 the new rate Of duties
the effect will not be hurtful orlasting.
The present rate Of duties on cigars
and cigarettes is $3.50 per pound and
% per cent.ad-valorem. The proposed
rate of Sl.25 per pound and 10 per
cent. ad.yalorem is a reduction Of just
one-half.
II any class or interests called upon
to protest against the treaty, it is the
sugar and molasses manufacturers Of
the South. Sugar not above No. 10,
Dutch standard and melada molasses
are to be admitted duty free. So far rs
moIasses and sugar, of these grades, are
concerned, the treaty subjects them to
all the "horrorsn Of free trade. But as
the quality OF sugar and melada adj
mitted free IL of low grade and cheap,
they will not come into competition
withthe better and higher-priced arti-
Giles in this country. and may result in
the increase ofhefineries in the South,
where the cheaper productions Of Cuba
may be refined with advan-
tage and profit. or the other
articles on the free list
nothing comes in competition with
productions of this country that we
need fear.
On the other hand, there should be
a large increase of exports to the Span
ish provinces from this country. Bacon
beef, tools, agricultural implements
and apparatus should find large
market in those countries, being on
the free list, Upon wheat the duty Of
fifty cents per hundred kilogrammes
(220.5 pounds) is retained, being equiv
alent TO about IS cents per bushel,
which is not encouraging to our grain
producers, now anIiously searching
tor foreign markets for their surplus
crops.
Upon the whole, the treaty is ad.
vantageoas as being step in the direc.
ton of breaking down the barriers
that a protective tariff interposes ia
trade and commerce. Both the coun'
tries to it are victims OF the fallaey
of protection. The institution of free
trade among Thorn will have the effect
TO extend it still further, and in time
! IL will embrace the world in its bonds

FOR PROTECTION.
Northern Manufacturers Organizing
to Fight Free Trade.

READING, PA, Dec. 0.-The East
ern Pig-Iron association, Henry S.
Eckert of Reading, president, has Just
issued circulars to every class OF manu-.
factureIs and prominent men In the
United States, asking their eo.opera-
ton in the formation of a tariff
club. The circulars say that
the organization should be based
on the broad foundation of adherence
to protection and opposition 10 free
trade and it's synonym, tariff tur
revenue only.n That membership
will not be confined TO any interest Of
party, class or geographical limit, and
that the only qualification will be
a simple pledge to promote
American industry by restrictions
on foreign goods. They further cali
upon all friends OF protection TO unite
as the London Golden Free Trade club
Is united, and to prepare for renewal
Of the attack on the tariff.
A general meeting OF the Pig-Iror
association has been called for Decem.
Der II to formulate a plan for organiza-
ton.
