Rejoicings Down South.

LEXINGTON, KY.-Mr. John T. Bruce, of the
United States Revenue Collectors Office, in
formed an editor of the Daily Press, of this
city, that for seven years he suffered terribly
from rheumatism in his ankle, which most of
the time was swollen to two or three times its
natural size, and was SO painful that he could
not put his foot to the ground. After trying
everything he could think of without obtain
ing relief he at 10 o'clock one morning applied
ST. Jacobs Oil, and shortly afterwards made
two further applications. At 3 o'clock that
afternoon the pain was gone; the swelling also
disappeared and the cure was as permanent as
it was quick

They Xere Too Smart.

A few days ago F. L. Thorpe of Chicago
went to Rideau Lake, Ont. to enjoy some fish
ing, and noticed, after his arrival there, that
two men seemed to be very much interested in
his movements. He subsequently got acquaint-
ed with thenA and they went fishing together.
Landing ON an island to partake of refresh
ments, Thorpe was drugged and spirited away.
When he came to his senses he was told that
he was Scott, the Manhattan Bank embezzler,
who decamped with 100000. The strangers
were detectives VIII" were after the $1,000 re-
ward offered for Scott. Thorpe soon proved
his identity and was released, the detectives
bearing all his expenses.

A Sailors Terrible Experience.

Henry Meyer, hotel keeper, of Stapleton,
S. l., owns large pet cinnamon bear One
morning last week he took the bear down to
the water for bath. Hans Clausen, a sailor,
came along and stood on the railroad track in
tently watching the antics of the animal in the
water. A train came along and the engineer
blew the whistle. Clausen did not hear the
locomotive, however, and was knocked uncon-
scious and thrown 20 feet into the air and
landed with splash in the water beside the
bear, which savagely sprang upon the sailors
body, tearing his face with his long claws. Mr..
Meyer and the trainmen tied up the animal and
got the wounded sailor out of the water. He is
believed to be fatally hurt.

A Casarian ODerati0a.

Prof. B. F. Baer of Philadelphia, several days
ago performed successfully the Cesarian opera
tion upon lady 80 years old, who had been
afflicted for 13 years with what was supposed
to be a tumor in the peritoneal region, but
which turned out to be dead infant. The
woman was from the interior of the State and

Very Mixed Relations.

Mott Haven, Conn, has problem in relation
ships. DR.. Nathan S. King, widower, married
q Miss Norris Shortly after the Doctors honey
moon, the Doctors son married sister of the
Doctors wife. Now brother of the Doctors
wife is about to marry the Doctors daughter.
In other words, the Doctors son became his
stepmother's hrotherin-law, and when the
Doctors daughter has married the Doctors
wife's brother she will have become her STEP
mothers sister-in-law. The Doctor, by the
marriage of his son to the sister of the Doctors
wife, becomes father-in- law to his sisterin- law,
and the Doctors wife, by the marriage of her
sister to her stepson, becomes sstepmother-in-law
to her own sister. In the event of the marriage
of the brother of the Doctors wife to the Doc
tors daughter, the Doctor will become father
in-law to his brothcr-in-law. and the Doctors
wife will become stepmother-in law to her own
brother. The problem is to discover what
relationship the children of the contracting
parties, if any are born, will be to each other.

Caught by an 0cfonas.

A diver who was trying to find pearls of the
Alaska coast, found none but found himself,
all of a sudden, in the grasp of an ugly octopus
with arms twenty-seven feet long. Such an
experience is rare but there are thousands of
people who are caught by dyspepsia, which is
quite as bad. An octopus hates to let go. So
does dyspepsia. Browns Iron Bitters settles
dyspepsia, and makes it loose its cruel grip
Mrs. Schmidt and her daughter, of 1876 Conray
street, Baltimore, were both cured of dyspepsia
By the use of Browns Iron Bitters.

A Boy Found Hanged to a Tree.

Sunday of last week boy named Hays, aged
16, living near Persia, Iowa. left home ON horse
back to attend the confirmation exercises at
Neola On the Goth the horse returned rider
less. A party of 100 started out, and found
Hayss body hanging to a tree seven miles
north of Nicola. Both his hands and feet were
tied. 1t is believed that the hanging was done
by men who escaped from the Harrison County
Jail, who fearing that Hays had seen and rec
ognized them hanged him to prevent him from
informing the authorities of their whereabouts.

Horrible Butehery of War Veteran.

A secluded spot near Erie Pa, was the scene
of horrible murder on the night of the 25th
ult. The victim was Charles Dunn, veteran
of the late war, and Hugh Brown, a man of
nearly four-score years, the alleged murderer.
Dunn had been spending few days with
Brown, who has been living the life of a hermit
in the woods. Dunn's mutilated body was
found lying outside of Browns shanty. A trail
of blood from his pallet on the floor inside and
the bespattered furniture indicated a terrible
struggle. The body had been gashed until the
heart was cut in twain, the bowels cut open,
the skull split, and the head almost severed
from the body. An AK covered with blood lay
near by. Brown protests his innocence and
says that the deed was committed in the night,
and before he came home, and that the first he
knew of it was when he awoke this morning
saw the pools of blood and the body lying out
side. Brown lays the crime to tramp, whom,
he alleges, Dunn drove away on account of his
impertinence. He says the tramp threatened
to return and kill them both.

Minister KeiIev,s Return.

Minister Kelley is home again, and is a
guest of Secretary Bsyard. He knows
nothing more about the reasons why
Austria rejected him than has already
appeared in print. He thinks that Aus
tria is more DESTROYS of pleasing Italy
than she is to please the United States,
and that she thought it would please
Italy to reject him because Italy had re-
jected him. The fact that his wife is a
Jewess was also given as reason for
rejecting him, but it is pretty evident
that Mr.. Kelly doesn't think that the lat
ter reason would have been urged Il
Austria had no other reason for object
Ing to him.
OF course Mr.. Kelley is still Minister to
Austria. He hasn't resigned, and his
designation, it is said, hasn't been called
for. Mr.. Kelley, however, will doubtless
resign as soon as he can arrange to do so
without seeming to be in a hurry about
it.
1t is possible that Mr.. Kelley may be
ginia. II reports are correct, he is not q
rich man. He gave up small local Of
fee to accept foreign mission, and sold
his books and furniture. 1t is not proba
BILE that he will be offered an appointment
abroad. Indeed, it is doubtful if he would
consider such an appointment desirable.
Some one OF the other Secretaries may be
able to find place for him that will not
cause dissatisfaction in any quarter.

Public opinion Overwhelmingly con-
dennis dueling, and the number of those
who advocate or defend this relic of bar
barism is constantly decreasing. A half
century ago it took brave man, morally,
to stand up against the sentiment that
required a man to challenge the one VINO
injured or insulted him, or to promptly
accept a CHALLENGE sent by a proper party
in the terms of the code. Now 1t takes a
man of considerable moral courage to
take part in duel, for he knows that in
doing so he not only violates both the
divine and human law, but brings upon
himself public condemnation and IN
pleasant notoriety.
The time when men tried their causes
by the ordeal of battle, or by the walking
over red-hot ploughshares, has long since
passed away, and dueling will soon be
among the customs Of the past in all en-
lightened countries.
The idea of turning question of veraci-
ty or any kind Of dispute or snarl into a
question OF courage cannot long survive
in this age Of progress and common sense
Many men have been killed in duels who
were in the right in the quarrels that led
TO the hostile meetings, and no doubt
many men who were in the right have
been brow-beaten by bold, bad antagon-
SITS and their hackers, and made TO APP
pear unworthy OF the respect Of the public.
About the only question duel can set
tie is the fact that the participants in It
have less regard for the enlightened Chris
tian sentiment Of the day than for the
promptings Of misguided and foolish
pride.
1t is felony in Georgia, and in nearly
every other State in the Union, for one to
send or receive challenge, or to aid in
any manner in a duel. and it is murder
for one to kill another In a duel. While
the laws against dueling are sometimes
evaded, they remain upon the statute
books, and no good citizen ought to disre-
gard them.
Fifty years ago many politicians re-
garded participation in duels as splendid
electloneering lodges, especially If they
were so fortunate as to kill their adverse
ries. Now a duel is very apt to close a
mans political career; and if he kills his
adversary and escapes the penalty Of the
law, his after life Is an unenviable one.

A Great italian Lawsuit,


The Court of Appeal at Florence has given
IN important decision In case which will
prObabl, be quoted as aprecedent in property
questions connected with the abolition of the
law OF prlmogeniture.
In the year 1873 Hon. Harriet Ellis, eldest
daughter of the late Lord Howard de Wa den,
married the Duke of Sermoneta, and on his
death became, according to Italian law, en-
titled as his widow TO take a life interest in
the proportion of one third OF the income his
estates yielded. The pecuniary interest in
vOlved was large. The late Duke, Don
Michael Angelo, had, however. during his
lifetime. and at the moment when the bill for
the abolition OF primOgep iture WAS before the
Italian Parliament, made over tho entailed
estates to his son, Don Onorato, better known
as Prince JeanO, retaining only an annual in
come for himself; and the main question at
issue was the right claimed by the widow to
have certain portion OF the disentailed
property included in the total of the patri-
mony upon the value Of which her quota was
TO he determined.
This was disputed by Don Onorato, the
present Duke. in whose favor sentence was
given in the Court of First Instance. but that
decision has now been reversed by the Court
OF Appeal, which has pronounced In favor OF
the claim made by the DOWager Duchess, and
has decreed that One-h the value of the dis
entailed property shall be brought into the
total, which Will thus amount to about 1000,
600 francs.
AS will be recognized, the case involves
question OF considerable Importance TO all the
great feudal houses Of Rome, and it 10 of gen
eral interest both to England and Italy. not
only in consequence OF the social position OF
the parties, but because of a prevalent idea in
Eugland. This decision of the Court Of Ap-
peal has refuted the idea that justice is unat-
taInable betwe N Italians and foreigners. and
especially in "A case like the present, In which
the defendant ia the head OF a powerful Ro-
man horse, possessing grOat wealth and po-
liticAl influence.

Let Georgia be Represented.

There is a proposition before the Legig-
lature to make a small appropriation to
enable Georgia to be represented at the
American exhibition soon to be opened in
London. The exhibition promises to be
great attraction, and Will draw visitors
from all parts of Europe. 1t is planned
upon an extensive scale, and there is
every assurance that it will be great
success.
1t is expected that every State and
every important city in this country will
have place in the exhibition. The
Western States, it Is understood, are
making special efforts to show what their
sources of wealth are, and what induce
ments they can offer to investors and i'm
migrants. Georgia can hardly afford to
be absent from this exhibition. 1t offers
her a chance to show to people who know
little about her, but who are seeking new
homes or opportunities to invest money
that her lands, forests and mines are well
worth their attention.
The time is not distant when the best
lands of the West will be occupied. The
tide of immigration which has be en- flow
ing so long in that direction VIII then
doubtless be turned in this direction. In
deed, it may be possible to influence a
certain amount of immigration in this
direction before the West ceases to offer
attractions.
While we believe that for the present
we shall have to look TO the Northern
States for immigrants, we nevertheless
believe that IL will oe wise to Law the foun-
dation now for immigrants from abroad.
There is no doubt that Florida will be
represented at the London exhibition.
Her people have taken care TO have her
properly represented at every great exhl-
bition that has occurred in this country
since the war, and they have been amply
| repaid for their trouble. Ter splendid
progress is the subject OF very general
comment.

MIR. ARrHuRs SISTER.
How He was Annoyed by Her Strange
Conduct.


From Washington Special.
An Albany man who is familiar with the
history of the family OF Chester A. Arthur
said to-day: you newspaper people gener-
ally find out what is going on about officials,
but am surprised that no one ever discov-
cred the fact that Arthur, when he was Presi-
dent, had an elder sister in Washington, who
was the source of the greatest possible annoy
ance to him. Mrs. McElroy, who did the
honors at the White House. and Mrs. Haynes
worth were supposed to be his only sisters.
The third and generally unknown sister was
the eldest of them. She was 81 years old when
Arthur first went to Washington. She has
never been married. She has very peculiar
disposition, and Is so eccentric at times
as TO warrant the belief in the unsound-
ness of her mind. Her brother has
always provided for her handsomely, and has
been always more than willing 20 give her the
most liberal OF allowances. Yet she appeared
to get IL into her head after he became Presl-
dent that she was not wanted in Washln9 ton,
and that the other members OF the FAMILY
looked down on her. From then on she ala
everything she could to embarrass Mr.. Ar
thur. She would go to Washington and stop
at the cheapest and most obscure boarding
house that she could find. She would refuse
To go to the White House under any circum-
stances. While she would accept money from
her brother to pay her bills she yet contin-
ued to labor under the dcluslon that
he was anxious to get rid OF her. One time
commit suicide in the Potomac back OF the
White House. Her conduct became so alarm
ing at times that the President was obliged
to set watch upon her. He was fretted and
worried for fear some OF her ioose talk would
get out. You know how sensitive Arthur is,
and the idea of having the papers come out
some morning with an interview with THIS
sister with the story Of an attempted suicide
on account of his alleged ill-treatment, was
constant worry to him. He WAS particularly
annoyed about the TINA that he was working
for a denomination. She became so violent at
times during that period that he thought Sc
riously of shutting her up in some asylum, but
be soon saw that this might be the means
of simply precpitating sensation, and
80 he bore with her as best he could. One
day she disappeared. aud for three weeks
nothing was heard of her. Then there came
a cable dispatch from her at Liverpool, say
ing that she was In Europe, and was of for
an extended tour. The State Department
was at once notified by the Presi-
dent, they at once cabled to all
Of the Consuls and diplomatic officers
abroad to be on the lookout for her and
guard against her becoming the object OF
scandal. They were probably successful in
their unpleasant task. for nothing concerning
her has ever reached the public. | think she
is still in Europe. At any rate, wherever she
is, Arthur provides for her with pTlncely gem
erosity."

BUSINESS METHODS.
Opening of the Commercial Year-How
to Make = Good Beginning.

Opening of the Commercial Year-How
to Make Good Beginning.
1t is customary in the cotton growing
States to date the business year from
Sept. 1. Everyone looks forward to the
lime when the business pulse quickens
and new life is given to trade. One ofthe
means used to give business a good start
at the beginning of the business year is
advertising. The enterprising mer-
chant uses the columns of the news
paper to inform his patrons that he is
still in the land Of the living; that he has
weathered the duh season, and again
solicits their trade. The newspaper pub
fisher uses the opening OF the season to
review the business of the past year, and
to give his city a frst-class boom.
Trade editions are published and widely
distributed for the benefit largely of those
who advertise in them.
In such editions business men, whether
merchants, mechanics or manufacturers,
ought to bring their business before the
public.
Such advertising may not, in every case,
be productive Of immediate results, but
it will give their business houses a stand
ng abroad that they cannot otherwise OBJ
tain.
No enterprising business man Of this
city who expects to prosper can afford to
leave an announcement of his business
out of the Trade Edition Of the MORNING
NEWS. This edition will be issued on
Bept. 8. No efforts will be spared to make
Itsuch an edition as every savannahian
will have reason to be proud Of.
