Driving Without Hands.


IT," $3.50 'fg
A new method of driving horses by
means of the feet, so as to keep the
hands warm in stormy weather, has
been introduced recently. The method
a be used either with or without the
ordinary plan OF Handwriting, the lat
ter being resorted to in genial weather
if preferred. The feet rest on a firm
board, and the horse is guided by
raising or lowering the toes, thus
bearing on one or the other rein
by means of straps in connection with
them, which pass owe a pulley
mounted on the front board Of the yehi-
ele. The drivers bands are quite free,
and may be inserted in the pockets of
his great coat. The apparatus can be
attached to any vehicle in a very few
minutes and can Le used by a very
young person. When the driver leaves
the vehicle there is a gentle bearing on
the horses mouth which tends to Keep
him quiet.

We are informed that Mn. Matte
johnson, who lives fourmiles west of town
was doing her general homework when
her little daughter Annie, 2 years old, got
hold Of bottle Of Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy, and instead of taking half tea
spoonful as a general dose, drank the
entire bottle. Il cured her cough and she
is doing well. q,
Mns. johnson was fortunate in having
procured Chamberlain's Cough Remedy,

Few people know the queen was once
called Alexandria Victoria; but it is a
fact, nevertheless. that her majesty was
originally proclaimed and the oaths of
allegiance administered to her in the
name of t'Alexandrina Victoria and
she would have been so called to this
day had it not been for a curious acct
dent. On the occasion of the council
meeting held TAT the court of
Kensington," the Goth of June,
1887, it was discovered that
she had affixed her signature as
Victoria" to the list of the privy coun-
cilors present.. Alexandria was, there
fore, Immediately omitted, although
during the ceremonies in the city and
elsewhere the queen was always adj
dressed as Her Most Gracious Majesty
Alexandria Victoria. 1t is not
generally known either that the queen
of England never wears, officially, any
state robes, excepting only at her corona
ton, when she goes to Westminster
abbey in crimson, and is there invested
with purple, and when she visits parlia-
ment, when she is attired in red.

NO FENCE LAZY.

This Police regulation will abso-
lutely go into operation on the first
day of next September, whether the
commissioners build fence between
Martin and Halifax counties or not.
The building of the fence is no part
OF the law. And if the fence shall
never be built every person whose
stock runs at large after the first day
of September will be amenable to
the penalties of the law, fine and i'm
prisonment. The building of the
fence is only duty imposed on the
county commissioners by the act
and if they should fail to perform
that dutythey will be liable to suits fol
damages and non-perfornance of off
cial duties. The object of this par.
ticular fence. is simply to protect ou'
friends on the Martin line from the
Martin stock, and to protect Martir
from the penalties Of the law. So i
no fence is built the law will take
effect September the 1st, 1885.

The Week in the Diamond.

The weeks programme at the new base
ball park will begin to-day with a game
between the Sayannahs and the Davis
Bros nine, in which Gillian and Nichols
will be the battery for the latter nine and
Smith and Graves for the Sayannahs. The
playing of the Davis Bros. in the two
games last week showed them to be in
every way equal in strength to the old
DiXies, and with the accession of Gillian
and Nichols they will be strengthened
very materially. The game will be called at
O'Clock. and those who attend may be
assured of an interesting match.
The event of the week will be the Savan-
nah-Augusta games on Friday and Satur-
day. The Augustus are broken up with
their defeat a week ago and are deter
mined to WIN this time or 90 to the wall.
They will bring a strengthened nine and
will make big effort to turn the tables
on the Savannahs.
An effort is being made to arrange
games with others of the league mines,
but as yet no other dates than those with
the Augustus have yet been made.
