South Carolina Senators some time
ago by showing them rudeness in re-

wanted him to make. He regained
the friendship Of Senator Wade Hamp-

relations between the Secretary of

The Red Wing Republican has the
following concerning CHAMBERS, and its
deadly characteristics: DR.. Bissel
states that the only danger from the
disease is from direct contact with
virus. If virus is breathed into the lungs
or nostrils, or reaches the eye, it will
take effect. An incident is related of q
lady passing along street in London,
when she dropped her handkerchief, and
in STOPPING over to pick it up. horse,
hitched by the pavement, touched her
face with its nose. She wiped her face
and walked on, but had received enough
of the virus to innoculate her with
CHAMBERS, with which it was afterwards
shown the horse was diseased. The
lady took sick and died. It is possible
to catch the disease while riding behind
diseased horse, through the horses
sneezing, and the wind carrying the
virus back to be inhaled into the nos.
trils, but there is not,the least danger
when the horse is quarantined in .
place by itself, where there is no posi-.
bility Of coming in contact with this

their meeting place was in my tent. There
they met day after day-in the morning, in

night. Our tent was built for permanent
quarters. In one end we made door eigh-
teen inches wide by three feet high. On the

Fighting the Horners.

The fight against ''hOrning" has been
quite earnest and lively for several
weeks. A day or two ago it seemed
had obtained a substantial victory. 1t
looks now, however, as if practically
nothing had been accomplished.
OF course all who are engaged in the
naval stores trade think that ''horning'
is wrong. In fact they expressed that
opinion in a petition which they all
signed. Somehow or other, however, they
have not been able to provide the means
for checking the wrOng-doing. 1t is
claimed that the statutes provide pun
ishment for "horning." That can hardly
be the case. otherwise an effort would
not have been made to secure a city ordi-
nance against it.
OF course there is no prospect that an
ordinance of that kind will be adopted.
The Board of Trade would not recommend
it and without its recommendation the
Council will do nothing.
The question is what. if anything, is the
next best thing to do? assuming, of
course, that the proposed ordinance was
the best thing, which a good many quite
level-headed men appear to doubt
Some of the naval stores men think that
''horning' will not be practiced to any
considerable extent in the future. Those
who hold that opinion are not, perhaps,
| in the majority.
Why not make it a rule that no one who
practices ''horning' shall be member of
the Board of Trade? Would not the board
adopt such a rule? If not, why? 1t can
not be possible That a majority of the
board would sustain a practice which
everyone engaged in the naval stores trade
has condemned. If they did, it would
raise the suspicion that there are prac-
tees in other kinds of business very much
like ''horning."

A Husband,s Dilemma.

A certain Turk, according to Mr.. Frank R.
Stockton, was once married to a yelled lady
in white in the presence of the Sultan. As
soon as the ceremony was concluded the bride
mysteriOusly disappeared. The groom was
led into an adjoining room. where stood
twelve ladies' all dressed in white, but with
out wells. "ChOOse from the twelve" ex-
claimed the sovereign, "her that is your
BRIDE" AS the man had never seen her face
the command bewidered him. "If you make
mistake" added his Majesty. ''your life
shall pay the forfeit" The poor fellow walked
up and down the row of beauties, but saw
nothing whatever to aid his choice. ''You
have only minute left" yelled the sultan, in
anger; "choose at once" Two Of the ladies, he
no iced, gave him something else than a stony
stare. One of them froWned; the other
smiled. 1.-THE frowning one, ;" he thought, sis
my bride, for she expresses her displeasNre
and Impotence at my ignorance. No." he
said to himself; sit must be the smiling one
for she desires to invite me to her." After
debating the subject in his mind until his
time was up, he boldly made selection from
the two. He was successful. He had regain
ed his bride. Which was she, the one who
frowned or the one who smiled? The answer
to the question AFR. Stockton leaves in impene-
trable N ystery.

A French Convict Story.
from q Paris Letter.

In Louis Philippe's time the last transport
tatiOn convicts to Cayenne took place. One
of the most celebrated of the gentlemen forg
ers of the day was the very last. His name
was Gatebourse. a stock broker, who had
plunged deep into all the swindling specula-
tions OF the day, and had ended by commit
ting fOrgerles to an enormous amount upon
the BSnque de France. The man had a cha
teau and horses and carriages, and when the
police went to arrest him he WAS steering
about in his own pleasure boat upon his own
lake in his own park. Gatebourse was
tried and condemned to transportation
for life. He was taken to Cayenne, where he
lived until few years ago. when the history
OF his horrid death reached Paris, The nm
happy wretch, in his endeaVOr to escape, had
been devoured by the violent crabs that
swarm along the shore of the settlement
Harrassed by fatigue, he had laid down upon
the sand, and the dreadful creatures had
swarmeG in thousands around him, tearing
and rendlng the body until nothing remained
but the clearly stripped skeleton, which
lay bleaching in the sun for weeks
before it was discovered by the police sent
in search of the runaway. 1t was this ad-
venture which caused the abandonment Of
Cayenne as place of punishment. The eX-
perience of sending the young recidlvists to
the settlement will be a dangerous one, as the
outcry among the cOnvicts will be re-echeed
by the ignorant portion of the philanthropists
who scruDle not, however. to dispatch Magls-
trates, COnsuls and gendaxmes to a place
where they hesitate to send the burglars and
assasslns who are rendering the city Of Paris
far more dangerous to inhabit than the pre-
tended fever-stricken colony of Cayenne.

Honest President TAYLOR.

Fr0m tAe Nel0 YORK Sun.
Gen. Taylor, in his plain and honest way,
never claimed much influence with his own
administration. An amusing instance of his
ingenious frankness may be mentioned to
show the pure simplicity of his character.
There was spirited contest for the Naval
Agency at Washington between Mr. Lin
thicum and Mr.. Lathrop. On the dav when
the appointment was to be decided Mr.. Lin
thicum called at the White II use, and was
cordially congratulated by the President as
the successful candidate.
He then went to the Navy Department to
inquire about his commits sion, and was as
founded to learn there that Mr. Lathrop had
been appointed. Returning quickly to the
White House, he told the President of his
surprise. Gen. Taylor was as much embar-
raised as his disappointed friend. He rubbed
his forehead and repeated, Linthicum.
Lathrop-' athrOp. Linthicum" Finally he
said: ''Mr. Linthicum. / must have been
mistaken about your appointment, but |
know | voted YOU"

The Meaning of Che Act of 1872.
The effect Of the act Of 1872 with re-
ference to the political disabilities i'm
posed by the third section of the four
teenth amendment is receiving consider
able attention.
1t is cOntended that this act removed
Gen. Lawton's disabilities, even if they
had not been removed by the pardon
granted him by President Johnson.
That act is entitled an act to remove
political disabilities imposed by the four
teenth amendment. 1t provides as fol-
lows: "All political disabilities imposed
by the third section of the fourteenth ar
ticle OF the amendments Of the cOnstitu-
ton Of the United States are hereby re-
moved from all persons whatsoever, eX-
cept Senators and Representatives, of the
Thirty-sixth and Thirty-seventh Con-
crosses, officers in the judicial, military
and naval service of the United States,
heads of departments and foreign min
listers Of the United States"
Gen. Butler was the Chairman of the
committee which reported the bill to the
House. When it came up in the House
he was asked who were still to be ex-
cluded under the proposed act. He re-
piled: alt excludes from amnesty none
but members of the Thirty-sixth and
Thirty-seventh Congresses, judicial and
diplomatic officers of the United States
and officers of the army and navy of the
United States who left to go into the re-
bellion. 1t excludes nobody else"
IN, hr
Senate, and the same understanding of
the meaning of the bill prevailed there.
The bill passed both houses of Congress
by more than a twO-thirds majority with
the full and clear understanding that 1t
meant Just what Gen. Butler SAID it
meant.
That act, therefore, relieved both Gen.
LawtOn and Gen. jackson of their politi-
cal disabilities, if they had any at that
time, because neither Of them belonged
to either Of the classes excepted from the
provisions of this amnesty act. Gen.
LawtOn left the army many years before
the war began, and Gen. Jackson LETT the
diplomatic service in 1858. Neither of
them left the service of the government
to Join the Confederacy.
1t is somewhat remarkable that the
Attorney General did not refer to the act
of 1872 in his opinion in Gen. Lawton's
case. He certainly had his attention
called to it. Perhaps he was not aware of
the Interpretation given the act by the
Congress that passed it. If he had known
of Gen. Buffers explanation of it he could
hardly have failed to refer to it.

Good Ground for Removal.

The Republican papers are trying to
make a little capital out of the removal
OF Mr.. Joseph Nimmo, Jr. Mr.. Nimmo is
at the head of the Bureau of Statistics,
but his resignation has been received and
accepted, to tske effect at an early day.
Mr.. Nimmo is one of the best known
men in the service of the government.
lie has collected a great many facts and
presented a great many figures about the
commerce Of the country. 1t would
hardly be fair TO him to give hasty
opinion on the merits of his work. His
figures were very extensively quoted by
the pr0tectionists during the tariff debate
in the Forty-seyenth Congress, and the
protection newspapers are in the habit of
relying on him for aid in their tariff ar
ticles.
He was removed on the ground that he
was an offensive PARTISAN" During the
last campaign he failed 10 contine himself
TO the work Of his bureau. He used the
facilities Of his Office to compile a
pamphlet to show that the prosperity Of
the country depended on the success Of
the Republican party.
OF course he is an offensive partisan.v
He devoted the time for which the coun-
try paid him 10 partisan purposes. He
does not believe the country can be pros
porous under Democratic rule, and hence
could not work at his statistics with any
sort Of satisfaction. 1t is just as well,
perhaps, that Mr.. Nimmo will soon cease
to do the figuring for the government,
