The indianapolis Journal attributes
most of the infant mortality to over
feeding and injudicious diet. True
enough. Bad milk, with Tactic acid in
it, and too frequent nursing by the
bottle will sicken or kill any infant
while teething. At least half of the
children, who die between the ages
OF one and two years, are the inno-
cent victims of ignorance.

Says the Hays County CTexas)
News: "In his speech at Mitchell's
Grove on Emancipation day, Lewis
White colored orator from Dupre,
said 'We have tried the Republican
party for twenty years. We have
tried the Loyal League and carpet
bag rule, and what have they profit
ed us ? They have made us slaves
to political intriguery, and all that is
left us is broken promises and disap-
pointed hopes. They told us that the
election of Cleveland would mean
return to slavrey of the colored race.
Cleveland was elected, and the conn
try was never more prosperous than
it is to-day. If Democratic govern
ment means slavery, then L, for one,
am glad to welcome such slavery"

We all desire to prosper individu-
ally, and yet wealth often brings
curses, as it inevitably entails care
and responsibility of serious charac-
ter. We all try to make our towns
powerful and opulent, as well as pop
ulous; and yet great cities are the
admitted running ulcers of society.

CALLME PET NAMES.

From the Lumpkin Independent.
A good joke is told on newly-mar-
ried couple who do not live more than
a thousand miles from Lumpkin.
The wife's pet name for her husband
is ''honey," while he calls her ''su-
gar" A few evenings ago the hus-
band came home, and, passing through
the house, went out into the lot to
try his hand at milking. Soon the
wife missed him, and going into the
yard hallooed:"
"Honey, what in the world are you
doing?
"Pm milking, Sugar."
ooh I'm so glad. We've got plen-
ty of milk, and | want some sugar to
make blackberry jam with to-mor-
row."

are generally very hard and worth
less lot, as this specimen will show !:
Last winter was his first in official
society. He made his entree at re-
ception given at the residence of the
English minister, appearing in a skin
tight fitting suit of blue silk tights
similar to those worn by circus ac-
tors. He had short, braided jacket
of the same kind of blue silk. At
other entertainments he appeared in
different but equally sensational at
tire. He now amuses his friends by
changing his clothing three times a
day. He starts out with buff suit,
follows with a slate color and gener-
ally closes the day with a suit of
white stuff. He has immense En-
glish cloth hats to match each suit.
Besides this, he has three bull dogs.
In the morning he has buff dog, in
the afternoon a slate colored dog,
and in the evening pure white bull
dog follows him. He never has any
companion but his dog. He is still
unable to converse in any language
but his own.
