His suggestion to make Zebehr, the chief of the slave
dealers, Governor of the Soudan, coupled with his
proclamation legalizing slavery, commends itself to
few, and his appointment of the Mahdi as Sultan of
Kordofan is hardly in accordance with his approval Of
our attacking the Mahdi's lieutenant, Osman Digma."
THE late Cardinal de Luca, when the italian army
entered Rome, in 1870, was much afraid that his jew
els and other treasures would be confscated. One of
his servants proposed to trust them to a butcher, a
rich and honest man, who would bury them in his
vineyard, outside one of the gates. The Cardinal
agreed, and all of his gemmed crosses, rings, splendid
mitres and gold and silver table service were placed
in a box and intrusted to the honest butcher. But
they were never heard of more.
DIR. ALEX. De BORA, of Crystal Springs, n. Y.
writes to the Scientific American that, after years of
practical test Of milk diet for Bright's disease, he has
along list of cases in which he has made perfect
cures. Great care is taken to get absolutely pure
skinned milk, from healthy and well-fed COWS, and
no other food of any kind is given after the patient
can bear five pints of milk a day. Up to this point,
and until the stomach can take care of so much, is
found to be the most trying period in this treatment,
but no other medicine is given, and hand and hair
glove rubbing is daily administered.
THE Pail Mall Gazette tells a romantic story about
Gustave Dore and the late Mr.. Marwood, who for a
time oficiated as the English common hangman.
When Dore was in England making his pictures for
the book for which Mr.. Blanchard Jerrold wrote the
text, Marwood called on him one day and said that he
would give $50 if the eminent French artist
would make a sketch of him while he was in the exer
else of his grisly profession. Dore at first refused,
but finally consented, and attended an execution, max.
ing a picture, which was duly delivered up to Mar
wood, but the Frenchman told the executioner to send
the $50 to the French hospital. When Marwood was
in financial trouble some years later he sold the
strange sketch for SIS. Some day it will very likely
bring 81, 500.
THE handsomest girl in Sylvania county, Georgia,
became engaged, nearly forty years ago, to John
Gross, the son of a wealthy planter. Shortly after the
engagement was announced, Gross went to New Or
leans on business, forgot his lady-love, settled in
Texas, and did not return home until two years later.
Though the lady had not heard a word from him in all
that time, she was still true. They renewed the en-
gagement, then quarreled, and Gross went off again.
He remained away until a few days age, when he re-
turned to the old homestead to celebrate his sixtieth
birthday. He found his iancee still waiting, and
promptly married her. She had refused many offers
of marriage during his absence. Three men whom she
had refused became, respectively, a congressman, a
senator and a Governor.

FRIDAY NIGHTS PRIMARIES.

The primaries for the selection Of delegates
to the county convention will be held on Fri
day night. The 5000 Republican voters,
who were not represented in the ballot cast
on Monday for township trustee should be
represented in these primary meetings of the
party, and they should be represented effect
lively. They should not permit themselves to
be treated as cipheIs, either because of on
attendance or by reason of failure TO assert
their legitimate influence. And it will not
be wise for those in charge of the machinery
game by which the proper influence of these
voters will be nullifed, or they made to feel
that their attendance upon primaries is
nothing but a farce-so much valuable time
thrown away. 1t has been demonstrated that
the party cannot succeed without these votes;
that a nomination secured after a heated con-
test in which these voters are practically
ignored is not only worth nothing, but is costly
and vexatious to the one who receives it.
What worse than nonsense, therefore, it is for
either party managers or candidates to ignore
this silent, self-respecting, independent Re
publican vote, which is the determining
factor in cases of close and excited con-
tests. Let the primaries be thrown wide
open, so that these voters can stand upon a
perfect equality with those who make either
a vocation or an avocation of "politics."
When these silent voters come to the prima-
ries, let them see that their voices are as po-
tent and as respected as the voice of the one
who is always found with his pockets stuffed
full of written or printed Estates, " and who
has spent his time drumming" the precinct
Or ward in the interest of some particular as
pirant. Let these voters be made to feel that
it is the peoples primary, the peoples conven-
ton, the peoples canvass, and not altogether
a cut-and-d dried affair Of the candidates. Some
may sheer at this; but the experience of the
last two elections ought to silence the sneerers,
whether they are convinced OF not. Let the
people come out on Friday night, the people
who care more for the party than for any man,
and let the succeeding convention and canvass
be of the people, by the people, and for the
people; so shall the Republican party merit
and achieve a triumphant success in Novem-
Der.
