Interesting Chat with a Brother Of the
Two Famou. Women.
cincinnati TimeS-star
Among the historic old houses around
Cincinnati is the home of the Cary sis
tiers, Alice and Phrbc, which is about
two miles north of College hill, on the
Hamilton pike. II is a plain Trick
dwelling, with a shy, retiring look as it
il wished TO avoid the hustle and roar
OF the ever passing travellers on the
thoroughfare, and hide behind the
friendly trees that already nearly con-
ceal it from the gaze of the outside
world. At the side of the house in the
rear is a pOrtico with queer brick pill
lars, such rs one never sees nowadays,
and the flooring of this porch is an i'm
mense blue limestone. 1t was taken up
bodily from the bed of neighbOring
creek where the stratum had been laid
bare by the flowing waters, and placed
in its present position.
The occupant OF the house and the
farm is Mr. Asa Cary, brother Of the
talented sisters, plain, homely man,
with much native culture, who is con-
tent to live and die farmer lie has a
magniticently clear eye and expressive
forehead
My father and mother. he said,
'came to this spot in lsUi. There was no
Hamilton pike then-juSt u mud road
through the woods They stretched
some blankets around young sapllngs
that grew where my garden patch Is
now, and in the shelter thus made they
passed the rst night on their new
place. The next day they started
building log cabin, aud in that Alice
and Ph be were born 1t stood on the
hill Just beyond this present house,
which was not built until Alice was
about II years old.
Your parents bought The farm
them
Yes, they paid 81 per acre FOR it.
Now it is worth 500 per acre. Before
that time they had been farming where
the city is now, and what was their po-
tato patch is the cite of the court
house"
Alice and PhrLe Cary were very
much like the prophet IN his own land,
for their family hardly recognized their
genius aud ability until they had left
the shelter Of home and won the APP
plause Of the great world.
But when started out / intended
saying that the Cary homestead is with
in easy driving distance Of Cincinnati,
the road, are excellent, the scenery is
fine aud it is well worth visit. As the
years 20 on il should become a place
of pilgrimage. Those who visit
| it will find themselves am
ply repaid, If they are acquainted with
the writings of the two famous women
they will discover in this, their child
hoods home, the source OF much Of
their inspiration. Close TO the house
runs little limpid stream and ] can
not but think that Alice must have
thought of it and gone back to the Joy
Gus days Of happy girlhood when,
propped up in bed and with the shadow
of death darkly upon her, she wrote the
last line she was ever to pen upon
earth:

JACKSON, MISS, Oct. 26.-The COlored State
Fair was opened here this morning, Mr.. Isaiah
T. Montgomery, its presidentl delivering the
first address, after which Rev. CO. ID. ThOn1aSi
OF Vicksburg, led in prayer.
Gov. Robt. Lowry then addressed the assem-
bly, and declared the fair formally opened. Inc
speeches OF MIR. Montgomery and GOV.
Lowry were TO the point and appropriate. They
agreed that this was but the beginning Of higher
achievements for the negro race, ana mat the
fair would tend TO promote in a large degree q
better feeling between the Two races. there
were prominent men OF both races present,
among the number from q distance being Hon
b. X. Bruce. There were seylEll hundred Pe0-
pie present, which for begi)g1Ing day IS con-
sldered a large number. The Gem Silver Cornet
band furnished the music.
The exhibits In all the departments are very
creditable and are much larger and mora varied
than was expected; there Is q fair exhibit OF
agricultural products Of both garden and neld.
The dairy exhibit Is excellent and, In pickles
preserves and canned goods Is very line. The
ladies department, consisting Of all kinds OF
fancy needle work, is attractive and creditaDle;
There is a large exhibit Of stock, aud III TACT
every department is well represented, the
greater portion of which was furnished by the
negroes.
The exhibit by Tougaloo University, a cOlored
school supported, IN u great measure, by TINS
State, is highly creditable in all respects. IL
has fifteen or twenty head Of fine blooded Stock,
Wagons, cudul5, NAMES, noe anu dA nanulo1,
and various other pieces of h%andy-work, made
by the pupils. .
The programme for the evening consisted Of
two running races by Mississippi raised stock,
and a reel race by the cOlored fire company
against time, twelve members, pulling their hose
carriage and hose, made three hundred yards,
over a very heavy track, in tifty-slx seconds, and
won a handsome silver pitcher and badge. The
race excited much amusement.
The Fair will continue all this week and the
programme fol each day is very interesting.
to get up a Fair in this state, and perhaps in the
Southern States, great interest IS being mani
tested by them to make it a grand success, and
this feeling is also shared In by the whites, This
city alone subscribing by individual contribu-
ton one thousand dollars as premiums. other
portions OF the state also made liberal contriDu-
lions. 1t Is the intention of the managers to
make this organization permanent and to mold a
Fair every ear.

vIoKsBURG, Oct. q, 1885.
Editor Commercial Herald:
viii YOU kindly publish the following, in order
to plac' the question of Free Trade in the right
light lore the people;
Editor. Il of Vicksburg Post, Oct. q, 1885.
"FiC e trade is an impOssiDllty. This govern
menl viii have to pay Its expenses by levying
direct axes upon Its own people, Or by leyying
a tax 1 ION articles imported IRON foreign cOun'
tries. he latter plan is always sure to be the
most upular, and 1t is undoubtedly the best
meth0 Of raising revenue, so as not to infict
Cumbersome taxation upon the people"
Call inr meeting to form a Free Trade Club, Oct.
o., ,oS5.
OF all the methods Of supporting
the National Government known to
the Constitution, the levying of duties
on imports is the least Objectionable
and free traders acknowledge this.
Therefore free trade has come to
mean, in this country, not absolute
freedom Of trade, but simply the feeSt
trade compatible With support Of the
Government. The present tariff Of du-
ties was avowedly framed for protec-
ton, with incidental revenue; and
any one believing that duties should
be levied only for purposes of revenue,
can consistently call himself a free
trader for the time being, and work
for Greer trade.
The meaning attached to the word
Free Trade in the above call is the
meaning attached to it all over the
world, wherever the question is dis
cussed. In England, in France, in
everywhere, Free Trade is used to
mean "the freest trade compatible
with the support of the government
Free traders have a right to define the
meaning of the words they use, and
this is their definition. Again: The
last few words OF the above quotation
from the Post would seem to sug-
gest that the levying of duties
on imports is not "to inflict bur
densom taxation upon the people"
This is misleading. If the duties in
question are low, the taxation is not
burdensome. If the duties are thigh,
the taxation is burdensome. The
burdensomness (if l may be allowed
to coin the word) of a burden depends
upon the weight of the burden and but
little on the way it is imposed. If the
taxes imposed by a government pro-
duce one hundred millions annually
for example, those one hundred mil
lions have come out Of the pockets
of the people for the simple
reason that there is no
other place for them to come from,
and in order to ascertain whether this
taxation lis burdensome WI must
look at the resources of the people,
not at the methods of collection. The
tax most easily and most economically
collected is the best, but let US not
forget that it is a tax and that we pay
it; let us not forget that every tax is
an evil and that its collection car
only be justified by the most unmis'
taxable proof that is needed.
Yours sincerely,
BOLTON SMITH.

othe Editor
Dear Strive send you the follow.
ing, because we believe it will be of
interest to many Of your readers. We
hope you can make use of it.
RiChARD G. MOORE, General Secretary.
The week commencing Sunday, Nov.
8, will be observed throughout the
civilized world as a season of prayer
for young men and Young Mems
Christian Associations. This season
had its origin in a resolution adopted
by the International Convention Of the
American Associations held in Albany,
N. Y, in 1866, and has been observed
every year since at the recommends
ton of the subsequent conventions. ,
There are now 1900 Of these ~associa-
lions in the world, distributed as
follows: North America 1874, Great
Britain SOB, France u, Germany $40,
Holland 1896, Switzerland 268, Den
mark 43, Belgium "a, and a dozen,
more or less, in each of the following
countries: Spain, Italy, Turkey, Russia,
Austria, Japan, Syria, South Africa,
Australia, New Zealand, Madagascar
and India. The American Associar
tions are the strongest and best Or
gained. They number 629 general
associations, 100 college, SO railroad,
"a colored and IL German. The
yearly current expenses Of the
associations in America amount to
$750,000. They own eighty-two build
ings valued at So $4,000, and have a
total net property of $4,353,000. -Four
hundred and fifteen men are devoting
their whole Tina to the work as secre-
t>aries, librarians, and gymnasium in
structors,
The expense Of the railroad associa-
tons is $4,000 per year, two-thirds of
which sun is contributed by the rail-
road companies, who testify to the
great benefit resulting to their en-
ployes through this special department
Of Young Mems Christian Association
work. Last year 100 young men
professed conversion in the college as
sociations. There are thirty-one State
and Provincial organizations, each
with its executive committee and an
nual convention. These committees
expended last year, in their work,
$32,034. The international committee
located in New York city in 1866, and
continued there aver since, is the exec
utive committee of the international
Conventions, which meet biennially.
1t consists of thirty-three members,
nine advisory members, and fifteen
trustees, representing all parts of the
United States and Dominion of Cana
da. 1t employs ten secretaries whose
business 1t is to visit all parts Of the
two countries, advising with and coun-
selling associations, both State and
local. The expenses of the committee
for last year were $30,496, which
amount was contributed by friends OF
the cause.

OURn Q PILES.

Piles are frequently proceeded by a
sense Of weight in the back, loins and
lower part Of the abdomen, causing
the patient to suppose he has some af-
lection of the kidneys or neighboring
organs. At times, symptoms Of
Indigestion are present, as aatulency,
uneasiness of the stomach, etc. A
moisture, like perspiration, producing
a very disagreeable itching, after GET
ting warm, is a very common atten-
dant. Blind, Bleeding and Itching
Piles yield at once to the application
of DR.. Bosanko's Pile Remedy, which
acts directly upon the parts affected,
absorbing the Tumors, allaying the
intense itching, and affecting a per-
manent cure. Price, 80 cents. Ad-

course is to use regularly Creole Fe-

The work at the grounds is progress
ing finely. The fence is nearly COM
pleted, the grand stand is ready for
the roof, the stables for forty horses
will be finished Friday evening, the
track is almost ready for the flyers,
and the water tanks will be put into
position by tomorrow night. Mr..
Curphy has the contract for the extra
seats outside of the grand stand and
also for one of the stables. He eX-
poets to finish his part by Friday and
will then assist Morris & Kennedy in
their contract. He has shown great
energy in pushing the work as have
Morris and Kennedy, and they are
making a record for quick and solid
! work that they may well be proud Of.
I At a meeting of the lessees of the
grounds yesterday the military prizes
were changed as follows: First prize
$1,000; second prize $500; third prize
5000. In the Maiden drill the first
prize was increased to $500 and the
second to 800. This liberal arrange
ment ought to bring together all of
the State militia for a final contest for
the season. Handsome individual
prizes will also be given for the best
officers and the best drilled man. We
will bet a weeks salary on Sergeant
Tillman.
Assurances have been received
that five companies will enter
the infantry drill and it is
hoped that four nor will come for the
maiden drill. 1t will be a Waterloo
for somebody when these cracks meet
again. The closeness of the at
Aberdeen shows that it will be any
body's fight. May the best q win.
Mr.. Bender has received word from
prominent Kentucky horsemen that
they will bring their stables here to
the races, and be has already secured
sixty entries. The list includes the
famous mare Slipalong, who recently
ran a mile in less than lao, and others
of national reputation. Local horse
men are also taking an active interest,
and applications have been made from
Tensas, Chicot, G%reenville, Brandon
and Columbus. This will be the first
time since the war that first-class rae.
ing has been seen in this section and a
grand meeting may be expected.
Applications for rooms have already
been received at several of the hotels
and the indications point to a big
crowd in November. Persons having
rooms to rent, or those who can furnish
board are requested to send in their
names to Mr.. T. A. Marshall, Jr.,
secretary, as soon as possible, in order
that the arrangements for the accom-
mediation of the visitors may be
thoroughly systematized,

Sharkey and Issaquena Politics.
To the Voters of the Goth Senatorial District.
The Undersigned delegates to Sen
atorial Convention held in Mayersville,
Miss, Oct. 9th, and which dispersed
without making a nomination, beg
leave to offer this explanation of their
action on that occasion for the infor-
nation of all concerned.
Our instructions were, "That ii
Sharkey county presents a worthy,
capable and acceptable candidate" to
concede the nomination to that county
as is known we did not support
Mr.. Casey who claimed to be the choice
of Sharkey county, our reasons for
not doing so ives as follows:
First-That no county convention
was held-hence no choice was ex-
pressed by anybody representing Shar-
key county.
Secondhand the instructions to
vote first last and always for Mr.. Casey
for Senator, passed by a caucus OF a
part of the delegates chosen at
district meetings to represent Sharkey
in the Senatorial Convention, and
held at Rolling Fork the night before
the assembling of same, was not the
presentation Of a candidate by Sharkey
county contemplated by our own con-
vention or required by instructions,
l Third-Mr. Casey's selection by the
NAucus was only made known to US an
4 hour or so before the Senatorial Con-
yention met. Comparatively a stran-
ger to us we at once made enquiries as
to his worthiness, capacity and ac-
ceptability as a candidate, among a
number of his friends and acquaintan-
ces present, and found that he had re-
peatedly been a candidate in his own
county, and had uniformly met with
defeat. Coupling with his unpopu-
larity and failures as a candidate IN
the past the fact, as We were assured,
that only seven Of the delegates OF
Sharkey composed the caucus that in.
structed for him, and that four OF
those present were for Hon. j. g
Hall and whose votes were oVercome
by the other three voting as proxies
for the three absent delegates as
well as themselves, we were
convinced that the sentiment OF the
people of Sharkey county was not ID
accord with the resolutions OF said
oaucus-for these reasons we complied
with the remainder of our instructions
and voted for an Issaquena county
i. man, who possessed, in a high degree
the qualities, the exigencies of the
canvass demand; we understanding
our instructions in this followed, them
without even a suggestion from any
one, and await, with perfect confidence
the coming election, when our acIlol
will he endorsed by our fellow citizens
