This community is greatly excited over a mi
raeulous faith cure, which has taken place here,
the favored person being the wife of Hon. John
A. Wimpey, one of the most prominent Repub-
ican politicians Of the State. Tor twenty years
Mrs. Wimpey has been an invalid. A great por-
ton Of the time she has been confined to her
bed. and unable to walk a step Even in her
better moments she was only able to walk across

late years she has been confined to he'd
entirely, being unable to lift her hands. She is
an estimable woman and bore her Affections
with rare fertitude, hardly hoping that she
would ever be well again. She has lived in
Dahlonega, Atlanta, and for several years in
Norcross, and has tried in vain all remedies
known to medical science for relief Neither
change Of atmosphere, the healing waters Of
mineral springs, or the learning and experience
Of professors could bring any relief and she
was regarded by all her acquaintance as incura-
BILE. All the physicians in Atlanta had given
up her case as hopeless.
During recent district meeting at Norcross,
there was remarkable revival in progress
Mrs Wimpey felt deep interest in the work but
was debarred from the privilege ofan active par
ticipation in it by her Affections. On Tuesday
morning her bed was rolled into the parior,
where she might better hear the singing, while
the family all repaired TO the church. left
alone TO her private devotions, she suddenly felt
her strength returning, and without doubling
that her prayers had atlast been answered, she
got up and walked across the room.
Filled with rejoicing at her sudden cure, she
hastily dressed for church, and, taking her Bible
| in her hand, hurried on 60 the house Of God,
where the congregation was assembled. Before
she arrived at the door she was recognized, and
the news spread rapidly through tho congrega-

Washington Special
Secretary Mcpherson says that reports from
New York indicate that the publication of the
Cleveland scandal has given the Independents
a chill from which they can never entirely re-
cover Carl Schurz's efforts to warm them up
again are futile Even the furnace of an in
yestigation committee can not restore their nor
NAL warmth, he says. To vote with the Demo
Gratis would be soinconsistent with their high
moral declarations that many are seeking the
best means to get out of the difficulty quietly
Schurz and Curtis, he thinks, will soon be with
oat a following, and Blaine will carry New York
by $1,000 majority. Republicans who voted for
Cleveland for Governor. he says tell him the
same story. When Secretary Mcpherson was
in Pennsylvania, a few days ago, he met what
they used to call a New York Cleveland Repub-
lican. That phrase described the Republicans
who voted for Cleveland for Governor. The
man whom Mr. Mop herson met said that he
voted that way because he wanted to give a blow
to the machine which was behind Secretary Fol
ger. Mr.. Mcpherson said to him, in talking
about New York this year: II guess your figures
and mine are very wide apart / put it that
Blaine will have majority Of $4,000 In your

The selfishness Of Carl schurz.

''Gath's' New York Letter.
1t is not generally known, but | understand
it to be the fact that after Horace Greeley was
nominated in 1872, he accused Carl Schurz Of
having ruined him by demanding he write an
other letter of acceptance than the one he first
drafted. Schurz refused to enter the campaign,
and Greeley thought he would lose the German
vote if he lost Schurz. With contemptuous in
difference to his old employers pride of mind,
Schurz forced Greeley to suppress his views on
the tariff and other matters which had en-
ployed his whole life, and SO he gave into this
Hessian's hands his honorable record and broke
his heart
A German speaking to me not long ago said;
Il hardly know of more complete case of pros
titution to ones own selfshness than Carl
Schurz's He has spent the money derived
from his wifes father, which should have been
nursed for his children, in pressing himself into
political career in America, taking diplomatic
and Cabinet offices, and living like one of the
lords of the country. Meantime his daughters
have gone back to Germany to live among some
of their relatives, and he is not believed to have
any property whatever, and to depend upon next
winters lecturing for his support Had he been
true to his family as to his selfish passion for
public distinction the the name of Schnrz might
have lived longer In this land.

The Cow in aIidsummer.

American Agricultural
On farms where the dairy is an important part
OF the husbandry, provision is made by sowing
soiling crops, to supplement- the diminished pas
turage in midsummer. Those who keep only
the family COW, or at most two or three cows,
find the flow Of milk to decrease and often with
out any green crop provided for keeping it up.
The territory of those who keep but single
cow is often restricted to small pasture and
vegetable garden. The garden should be made
to supplement- the pasture, and this may be done
to some extent by securing for the cow much
from the garden that usually goes to waste.
Every one who has a garden tries to have an
abundance of green peas After the vines have
yielded their last profitable picking, instead of
that is wanted for another crop, feed
the vines to the COW while they
are still green and succulent. So with
sweet corn When the last ear is plucked
from a stalk or a HILL do not wait until the
whole patch or row can be cleared, but pull up
the stalks that have been deprived of ears few
at time, and feed them while in their best CON
dition. The outer leaves of early cabbages, and
the leaves of beets, carrots and tUrnips, caro-
fully saved, will make an important item in the
succulent food for the COW. If there is a space
in the garden from which an early crop has
been removed and it is not needed for a late gar
den crop, it should be growing something for the
COW. Sweet corn may be sowed thickly in rows
for fodder corn, and afford welcome feed. It
is well to have an abundance of cabbage plants
Of large late variety, and set them out wher
ever Inere is room, and Tar beyond the needs OF
the family. An occasional cabbage next winter
will be treat to the cow Experiments made a
dozen years ago with some twenty varieties

ally that, even at the North, if they did
not ripen their seeds, they would give an
enormous weight of heritage upon small area
This pea is highly valued for animals at the
South, both fresh and as hay, and seems to be
worth trying in Northern localities as q soiling
plant. Where there is room, even a few square

as a winter treat 1t is late now for a large

Joint Convention at Columbus.

COLUMBUS, Aug. The joint convention to
nominate a candidate for joint representative

house. Forty or fifty prominent gentlemen from
Indianapolis were in attendance and Shelby and
Bartholomew counties were fully represented

g. Ricketts,, of Bartholomew, n r. Everett of
Marion, and E. S. Powell, of Shelby, acted as
secretaries A resolution reafirming the national
and State platforms, was unanimously
adopted. Albert w Wishard of Marion county,
was nominated by reclamation, Shelby and Bar
tholomew presenting no candidates After the
business of the convention had been completed,
speeches were made by Hon. Stanton j. Peelie,
MIR. Wishard and Newt. Harding of Indianapolis.

that resolute leader deferred the bullet, and, as
we often see in politics, the assassin not being
courageous enough to stab the President VIII

Meantime, the Democratic convention of 1880
nominated brave Union soldier, and did it In
good spirit They were now completely sep
arated from the cranks of the reform school.
The most respectable race we have had tor Pres-
ident since 1852 was that between Garfield and
Hancock They met each other at the inaugu7
ration.
The two conventions in 1884 would have per
formed their work satisfactorily, but IN the
meantime Governor Cleveland, having received
great number of Republican votes or proxies
when he was unexpectedly elected, Thought the
way to the White House was through the dudes.
He made a speech for civil-service reform This
raised the dying hopes Of the band whose
schemes Grant and Hayes and Arthur had tried
without any personal success to themselves.
MIR Curtis's idea of eivil-service reform was that
Grant the President should not make one ap-
pointment without the approval Of Curtis. The
President naturally thought he ought TO have
one or two. AS soon as he made one Mr.. Curtis
announced that they must part for ever.
Cleveland has been a respectable Governor OF
New York, is man of some adaptablllty to
Office is timid for awhile and afterward unduly
self-confdent The worst his enemies can wish
him is to be elected, and be pestered for four
wears by the Curtis and Schurz party If he
can be elected as Democrat and operate the
country with the capable men of that party he
will get along smoothly Ii he takes up once
for the purposes of experiment aud of erecting
some better class among us than the world is fit
for, he viii prove the folly of that man who
jumps out of ship to make the ocean passage
by himself
AS to the prospects of the campaign. it is yet
early to predict. The Democrats are much en-
barrassed by the dudes. The Democratic party
is disunited even now because Of these dudes.
AS a Democracy, with the plain, common sense
platform that they want to control the govern
ment for reasonable human purposes, they ought
to elect their President this year.
Buff this campaign is strained and mixed up
with the personalities and scruples of all the
great men who have got astraddle Of a newspa
per, the popular mind will settle upon the man
who means to be President himself, and to put
his experience of twenty five years in the public
service against the device Of gentlemen who once
read portion of Mr. Cobdens book, and once
made trip to Europe.

Roosevelt Preparing to Elay Cleveland.

New York Special.
Young Theodore Roosevelt is hard at work
upon speech which viii bother Cleveland with
the reformers. Roosevelt has been the pet Of
the independendent press here and has been SO
pushed that his position is perhaps one of greater
prominence than he really deserves. Mr.. Roose-
velt's main distinction is based upon his reform
bills introduced into the Albany Legislature. 1t
is Grover Cleveland's part in this reform work
that young Roosevelt intends to accurately por.
tray in the speech which he is now preparing. 1t
appears that Roosevelt, in the innocent conf
dence of his youthful heart, took it for granted
that Cleveland was a Peformer like himself He
submitted to the Governor his bills,
only to find, to his great aston
ishment and disgust, that Cleveland acted
like mere politician aspiring to the position OF
boss. Cleveland was continually suggesting
changes in the interest of certain friends OF his
that he wanted protected throughout the State.
Roosevelt soon ceased to go and see the Governor
voluntarily. Then Cleveland sent for him, and
continually interfered, showing that he had no
earthly interest IN the legislation proposed be-
You'd the twist he was able to give it In the in
terests Of his friends. Mr. Roosevelt intends to
give the full details of this chapter of Cieve-
lands career. 1t will strip the last reform rag
from Cleveland, and will leave the independents
without any real reason for supporting him. 1t
was this special knowledge of Cleyeland's char
acter that decided Roosevelt at the outset not to
