and great excitement prevails throughout
the neighborhood.
We feel profound sympathy for the con-
verts of such as Dr. James Ellis, and are
truly astonished at the influence he exerts
among people who have ever been charac-
terized for their good sense. Some possess
ing even more than ordinary intelligence
have resented with patriotic zeal the intro
duction ofany "new tangled" person plan
as was fully demonstrated by the warm re-
ception given to Prof. Lowe, with rocks and
fence rails, when he dropped down in his
big balloon.
We learn that some of the citizens have
become justly indignant and exasperated at
the ruin wrought by this impostor, and have
been trying to forcibly drive him from
among them, while others-his unfortunate
believers-are endeavoring to protect and
defend him, claiming that the doctor pos
sesses charmed life, and that no common
gun with powder and leaden ball can kill
him-IniOn Times.

Hon. JOHN J. HEMPHILL, M. G., OF
SOUTH CARoLINA.-The family Of Mr..
Hemphill is one of the oldest and most dis
tinguished in the State of South Carolina.
1t is of Scotch-Irish origin and immigrated
to South Carolina long anterior to the Rev.
olution. The NiXons and Adairs, of Ken
lucky, are his relatives. His father is a
lawyer, and has extensive practice. He
has been member of both branches of the
State legislature. His fathers brother, John
Hemphill, was chiefjustice of Texas, both
before and after it was admitted as a State
into the Union, having occupied the bench
twenty years, and died while q member of
the Confederate Congress, in Richmond.
John ]. Hemphill was born in Chester,
South Carolina, August 25, 1S49, and has al
ways resided there. His education was ac-
quired in the schools of the town and at the
South Carolina University, whence he grad
began the study of law and was admitted to
the bar in the fall of 1870. He shortly after
began practice and has been successful. In
1874 he was nominated by the Democrats for
the legislature, but failed to be elected. In
1876, however, he was elected, and was re-
elected for the two succeeding terms, serv-
ing in that body for six years. In the cam
vass for election to the present Congress he
had for his Republican opponent the re-
doubtable Colonel Cash, whom he beat about
two thousand votes. Mr.. Hemphill repre-
sents the Fifth Congressional district, in the
northern part of the State. He is amember
of the committee on the revision of the laws,
and also OF the committee for examining
the expenditures of the Department. Of JUS
tice. Mr.. Hemphill it will be seen, is now
in his thirty-fourth year, and is the young
est member but one of the House. He mar
ried Miss Avery, granddaughter of eX-
Governor MOrehead, Of North Carolina.
This being his first session, he is studying
more than acting, but is, nevertheless,
watchful of the interests of his constituents,
and quietly biding his time. We feel con-
tident that no more worthy nor more effect
i've representative could have been sent to
the Capitol from this grand old State

QUININt, FROM GAS TAR.-The last cons
tribution Of modern chemistry to science Is
the production of quinine from gas tar.
Prof Fischer, of Munich, has succeeded in
obtaining from distilled coal whire chrys-
taline powder, which, as far as regards it's
action on the human system, cannot be dis
tinguished from quinine except that it as
sinilates more readily with the stomach.
Its efficacy in reducing fever heat is said to
be remarkable, even rendering the use of
ice unnecessary. The Importance OF such
discovery as this consists not so much in the
actual fact as in the stimulus given to scien-
tifc research by the opening of new chan
mel of investigation. The romance Of gas
tar is evidently far from being exhausted.
In addition to the sweetest scents, the most
powerful disintectants, and even in prussc
acid, are some of the numerous and won
derful products of it's decompositiOn.-,S'i

THE Noise OF THE FINGERs.-When you
poke the end of your finger in your ear, the
roaring noise you hear is the sound of the
circulation in your finger, which is the fact,
as any one can demonstrate for himself, by
first putting his fingers in his ears, and then
stopping them up with other substance.
Try it, and think what wonder of a ma
chine your body is, that the points of your
fingers are such busy workshops that they
probably more than the noise of the circula-
tion of the blood. 1t is the voice of all the
vital processes together-the tearing down
and building up processes that are always
going forward in the living body, from con-
ceptiOn down to death.

Judge Gresham, whom President Arthur
appointed to succeed the late Postmaster
General Howe, was born near Corydon, In
iians, in 1888. He attended Bloomington
University, but was never graduated, and
subsequently read law al GOryd9n, in the
office of Judge Porter, who is still living.
His professional career was highly success
full and in 1860 he was elected to the State
Legislature, taking a prominent part in the
war legislation of the period. He became
lieutenant-colOnel of the 38th regiment, and
soon afterwards colonel of the 53rd, and in
the siege of Vicksburg, served as briga-
dier general. He proved himself brave
officer, and in the fighting before Atlanta
was so seriously wounded in the left leg five
inches below the knee, that he was COM
PEELED to quit the service. On his sway home
he was obliged to stop at New Albany,
where he remained year before his recov-
cry. The tibia was fractured, and though
the leg was not amputated, he still has to
walk with cane and frequently suffers in
tense pain from the fracture, which gives
the leg decided curve.
Judge Gresham resumed his law practice
in New Albany, and in 1866 ran against the
late Speaker Kerr for Congress, his popular
ity enabling him to reduce his opponents
majority. General Grant, when President,
wished to make him Secretary of the Inte-
rior, but that being impracticable, he named
him as Collector of New Orleans, but the
appointment was declined. Subsequently
he was appointed to succeed the late Judge
Macdonald as U. S. District Judge for his
district. But Judge Gresham's tastes i'm
PEELED him to political career and in 1880,
he was an unsuccessful candidate for the
U. S. Senate. When he received telegraph
ic notice of his appointment, he was holding
Court at Evansville, the term not conclud-
ing until the 18th of April. Private business
also demanded some attention, preparatory
to assuming the direction of the POST Office
Department. In the interim the duties Of
the Office devolved upon First Assistant
Postmaster General Hatton.
Judge Gresham's political sympathies are
somewhat indeterminate. Though not an
obscure man, he has by no means been con-
spicuous in political affairs. He supported
Secretary Bristow's nomination in 1876 and
that Of General Grant in 1880. He is for
chile public speaker, an able lawyer, and his
excellent character and capacity would seem
to foreshadow satisfactory discharge of the
important duties of the office which he has
been chosen to fill.

PAPER FOR CLEANING SPEcTAcLEs.-
The old gentleman with his spectacles, the
"Lord Dundreary" with his ''glahss," the
myopic reader and the short-sighted per-
sons generally, who carefully wipe the
dimness from their spectacles and eye glass
es with silk hankerchiefs, are perhaps not
aware that piece of paper will do the SER
vice much better. No matter how fine the
silk may be it will not leave the surface of
the glass so well polished as the paper will.
If pains are taken to rub off any particles of
gritty dust that may be on the glasses be-
fore rubbing them, the paper will never
injure the surface with the slightest scratch.
Dampen the glass with vapor or water, or
when possible, with the breath, and the pa
per will absorb all the moisture and what
ever else is deposited on the glass, now in
a much softened condition. The best pa
per is unsized and quite porous, like the pa
per used by newspapers. Blotting paper
leaves short fbres on the glass and is not
desirable.-Puper World.

WAS EARLY MAN A SAvAGE?-It is a
wonderful thing how absolute is the silence
of our race on their own early history.
Putting aside, Of course, the Scripture nara
tive, which is Of much later date, no whis-
per comes to us out Of the depths'of time
from man himself to tell us of his own ori
gin, or of his early history. Some people
say that this was natural enough because
man was at first savage. But / must
frankly confess that do not believe that
theory. There is another way of account
ing for it-on the supposition that man, in
the childhood of his race was as we are in
our individual childhood, and was possess
ed of that blessed conscientiousness of self
which is the charm of childhood.
1t does not occur to a child to write dia-
ry of his own existence. But let no one
tell me that man was a savage when know
that the inventions of early man were in
finitely more important than those Of later
days, of which we, are SO proud. The man
who drew the first spark of fire was q far
greater inventor than the man who drew
the first spark of electricity. Look again,
at the invention, which must have been
the result Of many processes, by which GER
tain natural grasses were gradually made to
produce those crops upon which we all de-
pend-those cerials which are the staple of
human consumption all over the globe.
We must get some other explanation Of the
silence of man than that he was a savage

From Boston Traveller, 10Th.

From Boston Traveller, l9th.)
Hon. Henry Cabot Lodge was in the city
this morning, and in talk with a Traveller
representave vigorously denied the silly
stories that have circulated as to his attitude
towards the republican national ticket. He
Is an earnest and hearty supporter of the re-
publican nominations. and says he believes
that majority of the republicans who now
feel disappointed over them, will, after sea
soa of sober reflection, see that Massachu-
sets has too much at stake to permit the
democratic party to triumph and take control
of the national government. He entertsins
high respect for nearly all the gentlemen
whose names have been used as leaders in
the threatened bolt, but says that time will,
he is satisfied, bring them to a new view of
the situation. They do not want to see an
other year of Butler as governor, and they
do not want to defeat Mayor Martini" says
Mr.. Lodge, and they cannot persist in divid-
ing the republican ranks without making both
those dissgreeablle results possible. Mr.
Lodge reports the feeling in his district among
republicans Is one of thorough determination
to stand by the work of the Chicago conven.
ton. and oppose an united front to the demo.
cratic enemy.

Sham independents.

The more the character of the independ-
ents $50 called) is examined the more
clearly 1t appears that the great majority
OF them are not republicans. Their griev-
ance Is not that Blaine received the repub
lican nomination. That is but pretext.
They are mostly free traders. They are
opposed to the protection OF American
industries. Whoever can succeed in OBJ
tanning declaration of their political
opinions from them will find this to be
true every time. They masquerade as re.
publcans because they think they can by
that means accomplish more, against
the republican party than If Il stood
out rs open and avowed democrats.
There are unquestionably some honest
republicans among the independents, but
they are deceived rs to the character OF
the company they are in. When they are
brought to see that the issues of the COM
ing election are squarely between the re.
publican and democratic parties. and that
if they do not act with the republican:
they must give their vote and influence to
the democratic party. they will return to
the republican party. Many have already
taken their place in the ranks Of the Ole
party who hesitsted Immediately after the
convention adjourned. and still others will
come until only those who are democrat.
at heart will remain in the democratic
ranks.

BLE.-THE THIRD PATTY IDEA CroPIAS.


| TThe New York Commercial Advertiser.
| In Presidential contest the fitness of one:
candidate Is not the only question to be con
sidered there is another, equally important
| and that is the question of the alternative.
Mr. Blaine may not be everything that we
| could wish but 10 abandon him is 10 abandon

| the democratic party. Is that an end to De
approved: Does that party promise US any
better measure or men!
The democratic party in its national career
and apart from the procliyities which once
made il the ally Of a deadly revolt. offers Us
| no distinctive scheme of policy. On the SUB
| iect of taxation its leaders are hopelessly at
| loggerheads. As to any reformatory move

IL has been suggested, as we are aware, by
many newspapers, as well as by highly re-
spectacle meeting at Boston, that third
party might be formed which would retrieve
the errors of the others. But that PROJECT Is,
in our opinion at this time Utopian, besides,
IN the existing condition Of things. third

No; the only and real alternative now is
between the older parties, and the voter, as
well as the editor and the active leader, must
choose between these. Our general cOnclu-

which we are invited present a lovelier view

which we are used. We shall acquiesce in

motives which induce US to acquiesce at all
will induce US to follow that acquiescence up
with frank and energetic action.
Mr.. Blaine will naturally, his friends say,
choose the strongest advisers that his party
affords, and few ringing sentences in his
letter of acceptance, avowing and reinforcing
the best republican sentiments, will under
mine recent antagonisms and place him in a
line with the noble traditions of the past.
We shall take these friends at their word,
