THE "Glorious Fourth will not be
celebrated to any great extent in this
locality, but several occasions will
claim the attention of many of our
citizens during the month. Among
others, the Chicago Convention, the
Columbus Convention, the ceremonies
incident to "receiving'' the Canton.
Aberdeen & Nashville Railroad, the
laying Of the corner stone of the Ma
sonic Temple and Opera House, the
anniversary of Monroe Steam Fire
Company, and other matters Of smaller
note. Aberdeen will be well repre-,
sented at all of them; hence they al
partake of local nature.

RattIesnake Oil.
philadelphia Times.l

A handsome, well.dressed woman en-
tered Chestnut street apothecary shop
yesterday aud asked Of the prescription
clerk, in stage whisper: "Do you keep
rattlesnake oil!"
No." replied the compounder, in an
audible tone; ''you will have to go to
some druggist in the slums for that CON-
modify"
"That's the fourth call we have had
to-day for some one of the various voodoo
medicines" said the clerk, turning to a
reporter, and that means just four dol
lars cut of the boss's pocket. / asked
him the other day to let me mix up
some Of the stuff, but he wouldn't have
it. and stamped out, muttering some
thing about being an ''honest man" and
running Reputable business :"
'But what is rattlesnake oil and what
is ii used for ?' asked the reporter.
'fhs Ingredients can be most any
thing, but the compound is usually made
from lard, goose grease and sometimes a
little olive oil. and IL is generally used
for rheumatism, fits or for exercising
devils. Of course there is really no such
thing as rattlesnake oil, but to meet the
hchVy ueInanu IoF IL, great many
druggists keep a harmless compound
which they sell Us rattlesnake oil. 1t is
an ointment and under this name it is
almost invariably called for by the
negroes, although, as you have just seen,
it is occasionally asked for by intelligent
looking white women. | can only ex-
plain this on the ground that they be-
como imbued with the superstition from
talking over their ailments with their
eolored servants.
tBut rattlesnake OIL" continued the
clerk, becoming interested in his subject,
''is only one OF a score of these voodoo
medicines and ointments. There is also
a great demand among the negroes for
dogs fat, cats fat, possum oil, rabbit
fat and. in short, for the fat and oil of
almost every animal and reptile you can
imagine. | often have calls from the
ignorant Germans and Hungarians for
devils swent' and hell powder The
ignorant of almost every nationality
have different specifics for different dis
eases. The negroes, however, take the
palm in the number and variety of their
charmed medicines. Many druggists
keep bottle filed with compound
such as l described to you, from which
all calls for these various oils and fats
are supplied, and the druggists in the
slums make good deal from their SALE"

A California Romance.
Icorr. Cincinnati Enqulrer.l


Twenty-Five or thirty years ago,
think, at Marysville, CAL, which was
then an established yet shaniy like town,
lived Judge Stephen Field. and in his
law office was young fellow named
George Gorham, who boarded with a
plain family, aud at the table another
guest was forid, Welsh looking
stranger. In the same house or the next
house lived an Irishman named Murphy,
who had bright, interesting daughter,
but he was fond of padding her when
anything went wrong with him. This
padding had been going on some time,
and one day the boarders held an indig-
nation meeting, and resolved to go next
door and see old Murphy, and tell him
that ii he did not stop correcting that
child on every and all occasions they
would take him down to the stream and
duck him, etc. None Of the guests were
especially brave, but they put on very
brave front, and held the indignation
meeting. Severed years afterward one
Of these parties, Field, was called to be
Justice of the Supreme Court. Still
later by several yoars the Republicans
in California nominated Gorham for
Governor, and they put on the ticket
with him The present United States Sen
ator Jones. When Jones met Gorham,
he said: Are you the little fellow from
Long Island who boarded at MarysvilIe
with me? Don't you know me ~ mo,
l don't think do" "Why, I'm Jones,
the Welsh-loosing fellow who formed
one Of the posse to go in and make old
Murphy stop keeping that child scroam-
ing" They shook hands warmly and
then Jones said; "Gorham. do you know
what has become Of that Mary Murphy"
''No." "Wby. she is now Mrs. William
Sharon"
My informant says that consequently
there met at Washington City, Jones
and Sharon in the United States Senate,
Gotham, Secretary of the Senate, and
Field on the Supreme Bench-all brought
out If that boarding house. Mary
Murphy grow up to be an interesting
woman, and the padding was only tenn
porarily disadvantageous.

water Needed For Irrigation.

The constant inquiry as to the amount
of water needed for irrigation in Califor-
mia, mainly made by the large numbers
of newcomers to the State, necessitates
the publication of the following stats.
tics from other localities, complied by
the Californian. But it must be OBJ.
served that in Los Angeles county, with
its vapor from the sea and its immense
supply of subterranean water, not more
than half the amount here given is need
ed, except in sandy wash or stiff soil on
some of the hills. However, the statis-
tics ore valuable and should be pre-
served, All horticulturists shonll keep
a scrap book and preserve all pieces OF
information on the subject of fruit-grow-
ing. The following are the statistics
mentioned:
One cubic foot per second is equal to
72 square inches of water flowing at the
rate Of four miles per hour, fast as an
active man can walk with ease.
In Spain the lberian Irrigation Com.
pany makes a charge of 81 per acre for
twelve waterings per year, equivalent to
thirty three inches of water over the en-
tire surface irrigated. The above conf
pany has a canal twenty,eight miles
long, built at q cost of $500, 900, splen.
did engineering work 1t has surplus
of water equal to 3000-horse power,
which is rented out at $50 per horse
power per annum.
In Italy the cost of water is more ex-
pensive than in Spain; the cost per
annum is about $40, Water from some
of the canals is purchased by spectators
for $S7 per cubic foot per second, and by
them sold to irrigators for $96 per foot.
Iu the hot climate Of Provence, dis
trict in she south Of France, it has been
found necessary to use for each irriga-
ton, 81 to inches over the whole sur.
lace every ten or twelve days. This
is equal to about "a cubic inches, or
nearly l pint per second continually
flowing for each acre.
In Italy where the rainfall equals
81 inches per annum. the most Of which

used is the same as in Provence, France,
nearly one pint per second per acre,

One pint per second, constantly flow
ing, is $500 gallons. or 1872 cubic feet
every twenty-four hours for every acre;
or will cover one acre forty inches deep
in one year, or will give one inch OF
water to 362 acres-Southern Califor-
nian irrigation measurement
As will be seen from the foregoing
deductions one inch of water to 3 62
acres ia the standard for Italy. the south
of France, and Spain, for orchards and
