faillipsbuwg Democrat, Sept. IS.
Some of the ex- Congressman jealous
but rather indiscreet friends last week let
out the alleged secret of the so.called can
didacy of Mr.. Harris for Congress. Ac-
cording to their say, and it was pretty
common talk at the time, at the conven-
ton at Belvidere to nominate candidate
for Congress four years ago, some $4,000
were paid to Mr. Pidcock, of Hnnterdon
county, in consideration of the vote of the
Hunterdon delegation being cast for Mr..
Harris in the convention Many who
were present will recall that some such
transaction was generally understood at
that time, and that it was understood to
be species of blood money that was
squeezed out of the candidate or his
friends. Now, according to Mr.. Harris
friends, there is little or no hopes of his
making the nomination, but Mr.. Pidcoek
is a candidate from Hunterdon and there
is chance to "get even" with him, or in
other words, get the money back, pro-
viding delegates enough can be elected
in Warren in the interest of Mr.. Harris,
for whose votes Mr.. Pideock is expected
to s'come down" in order to insure his
nomination. t tE .554s
If the above proposition is true, it
ought to damn all who are concerned with
it politically, socially, legally and forever.
If Mr., Pidcock obtained $50, 900 from Mr..
Harris or his friends four years ago for
such a consideration it was an infamous
transaction in both and we have no OBJ
lection to its being paid back but to pro-
pose to gain il through the corrupt use of
the peoples delegates is equally Infamous
with the other. We hope it is not true
that the coming Congressional nomina-
ton is to be the subject of purchase and
trade; that the proceedings of the Conven-
ton are not to be associated with whis-
perings and charges of the lavish and cor
rupt use of money, as were the proceed
ings of our last three or four conventions.
As We hear of these propositions and
think Of the corrupt proceedings of former
conventions and realize how open has got
to be the improper use of money in our
politics, we can but conclude that here is
a grand opportunity to put into effect the
recent bribery laws of our State, by do
ing which, the time may come when we
may have honest caucuses, honest conven-
tions and honest and worthy nominations

The Hunterdon Democrat states that
sat tho recent session of the Grand Jury
seven young men from Lambertyile were
very properly indicted for disturbing the
peace at the late Harvest Homo at Ser
geantsville. Their cases will be settled
by the Court next month. Too often there
is species of rowdyism at public enter
tainments that calls for more than law.
1t calls for strong squad of men armed
with stout hickory clubs. Perhaps the
vigorous punishment of the seven above
referred to win have salutary effect. We
hope so.'' s

A WORD ABOUT DIsINFECTANTs.

There arc many kinds of disinfectants
known, and sold to the public at varying
prices, some valuable, others entirely
worthless, as disinfectants. Every one is
familiar with bleaching powder, which
was formerly land is still to considera-
BILE eXtent) so much used 1t is very eff
fectual, owing to the chlorine gas which
1t freely gives off when exposed to the at
mosphere, or moistened with dilute acids,
such as vinegar Charcoal, too, is we'll
known as disinfectant, and as a deodor-
ant simply DISCUSSES the bad smell with
out destroying the poison which it may
contain, and in this respect differs from
disinfectant. Ola known disinfectants,
earbolic acid is now generally admitted to
be the most efficacious, and it is the basis
of most of the disinfecting agents now
sold. The acid is too powerful to be used
alone, and is therefore generally mixed
worth so or 90 per cent. of some other
substance not possessed of dsinfecting
properties. Sometimes the bisulphides
of lime and magnesia are added, and these
substances are themselves possessed Of
disinfecting properties; but more gener-
ally chalk or sand is used; or the acid is
simply diluted with water. A small por
tion of the mixture sprinkled in water
closets and other places where deoompos-
ing matter is allowed to remain will di-
minsh, if not entirely remove, the chances
of contagion, and sweeten and purify the
atmosphere.
Although carbole acid is so efficacious,
there are some who object to its use. 1t
smells rather strongly, and many persons
are thereby prevented from using it,. 1t
is pity GU this account to be robbed of
its advantages; and, such persons would
do we'll to try and educate themselves to
the smell. Moreover, it is better to
breathe an unpleasant and pure atmos.
phere than pleasant but unhealthy and
dangerous one. The smell of pure car
bolic is much more easily borne than thai
of crude carbolic; and we would recon
mend the use OF the purest carbolic pro
durable, diluted with eighty or ninety PEI
cent. of water, or mixed with the SAINT
percentage of precipitated chalk. 1t il
difficult for the chemist, trained and &C
customed to the offensive and unwhole
some smells in the laboratory, to under
stand how any person can retain a strong
dislike to the comparatively sweet smell Of
carbolc acid.-An Analytical Chemist il

The first bread is supposed to have
been made by the Swiss lake dwellers,
at a period to which no date can be as
signed, although it may have quite
closely approached historic times.
Snecimens of the bread, which was
baked between two red-hot stones,
have been found in the form of little
circular cakes, four or FIVE inches IN
diameter by an inch and a quarter
thick. Wheat and barley were the
cereals used, but cake made from
poppy seeds has been picked up among
the the ruins of the lake dwellings,
The grains were imperfeotly ground
or cracked in stone mortars
and the bread was unleavened. One
Of the stone mortars or handmlls O
the early bread users was displayed

El NIRhdi Defeated.

Sir Evelyn Barring, the English Minister to Egypt received letter from General Gordon, dated khartoum, April 9, in which he says that merchant who was twelve days on h s jour- and reports that a serious revolt against the Mahdi has taken place among the tribes who have hitherto been warm supporters of the False Prophet. The Sheiks of the Fagallat tribes becoming dissatisfied at the MahdTs ad- his rule aud withdrew their tribes from his ca..p. The Mahdi, summoning his supporters, attempted to chastise the rebels, but the latter turned on the Mahdis forces and after des- perate battle defeated them, the Mahdi losing heavily in the battle. The next day the en- gagement was resumed, when the Mahdi was again defeated with great loss. The Fagallat tribes also lost many men in both fights. The merchant reports that when he left Fl 0beid the Fagallat tribes had the Mahdi surrounded and would undoubtedly compel him to sur render.

DYNAlTITERs IN ENGLAND.
The Dynamiters Planning n General Explo.
 sion in England.

The London StdnddrdS Paris dispatch says "A letter received here from an Irish svmpa- thizer with the dynamite party says that the dynamite campaign has not ended. Two hun dred and fifty pounds of dynamite have been sent from France to England within the past three weeks, girl, a resident of Cork and a sister of a dynamiter living in Paris, carving it across the channel. The girl is also the me- dium of communication between the dynamit- CTS in Paris and those of Great Britain and Ire land.
 "The woman who conveyed the dynamite used in the Victoria depot explosion to London has gone to America. A portion of the dynamite was purchased at an authorized factory. and the rest was made secretly. Some of it was sent to Mezeroff for an opinion of its quality. The dynamiters in England are opposed to iso- lated attempts. They contemplate a general explosion in various parts of the country on a certain day and hour. The total amount of the dynamite fund is E16, 500; q 900 has been expended in the various dynamite attempts, and for the defence of the dynamiters who have been arrested. This sum includes the rent of dynamite factory in France"
 The export of dynamite from Havre to Eng land continues unchecked, as there is no law to prevent it.

INDIAN UPRISING.
SeriOup News from the NOrthwest-Two
 Thousand Redskins on the Wnrpath.

Another serious outbreak has occurred among the Indians of the Northwest territories located at Battle Ford Reserve, place on the North Saskatchewan. 900 miles northwest of Ninnepeg. Dispatches from Ouappelle, the nearest mounted police barracks to Battleford, are very alarming. They say that 2, 900 blood thirsty redskins marched into town and threat ened to burn it up and massacre the inhabi- tants. They are all nearly starved, not having received sufficient food from the Dominion government to keep body and soul together.
 During the day the telegraphic circuit stopped, and the supposition is that the In- dians have murdered the operator and butned the office. The operators name is Mcdonald. It is known for certain tJat shortly after Yel- low Calf had trouble with Colonel Herchmer delegation from his band started westward to visit the different Indian camps. They pre- tended they were going to look for fresh hunt ing grounds, but it was subsequently, learned that their real object was to arrange for a big Indian outbreak.
 On March 24 they had reached Blackfoot Crossing and were going on to have an inter view with the Blackfeet. The general opinion here Is that these emissaries have stirred up a general commotion among the Indians who have been half starved all winter, and that they have moved up in strength to Battleford in order if possible to awe the Indian Department into treating them more hberauy in the matter of ratons. Further news from Battleford is looked for with great anxiety. Great indigna- tion is expressed at the governments treatment of Indians.

Where to see the Great TrOtters of
 New York
Cincinnati Times-Star

No two men in America have had more experience with fine trotting stock, and none are better judges than Calvin M. Priest, of the New York Club Stables, 28th street, near Fifth avenue, and Dan Mace, of the Excelsior Stables, West 29th street, New York, the champion louble-team driver of the United States. Both of these gentlemen say, that for painful ailments in horses, such as cuts, bruises, swellings, lameness, stiffness, St. Jacobs Oil is superior to anything they have ever used or heard of. This is also the opinion of Prof. David Ro- barge, the celebrated horse-shoer of the metropolis, and thousands of stock owners throughout the country. AS a pain. cure for man and beast St. Jacobs Oil has no equal. Mir. Priest recites the case of a valuable trotter, so stiff with rheumatism that he could not move an inch. By one thorough application of St Jacobs Oil at night, the animal was completely cured, and was fit for the race-track the next day.
