"De crossest man in Alabama lives
dar," said the driver as we approached
a wayside home, near Salcma, Ala, TO
ask accommodations for the night. At
supper, and after it, "mine host scowled
ct every one, found fault with every.
thing earthly, and was wondering if
he would not growl If the heavenly
halo didn't fit him, when incidental
mention being made of the comet of
1892, he said: 81 didn't like its form,
its tail should have been fan shaped !"
But, next morning, he appeared half
offended at our offering pay for his
hospitality My companion, however,
made him accept as q present sample
from his case of goods.
Six weeks later, drew up at the
same house. The planter stepped
lithely from the porch, and greeted me
cordially. l could scarcely believe that
this clear compexioned, bright-eyed,
animated fellow, and the morose being
of few weeks back, were the same.
He inquired after my companion of the
former visit and regretted he was not
with me. "Yes,' said his wife, 1--WE
are both much indebted to him"
"How 7" l asked, in surprise.
'For this wonderful change in my
husband. Your friend when leaving,
handed him a bottle of Warmers safe
cure. He took it, and two other bot.
ties, and now" Sand now" he broke
in, "from an ill-feeling, growing old
bear, l am healthy and so cheerful my
wife declares she has fallen in love with
me again J"
1t has made over again over thou
sand love matches, and keeps sweet the
tempers of the family circle everywhere

A recent writer on heating of green
houses and conservatories says that the
secret of successful heating is to raise
the temperature of the water in short
space of time SO as to cause it TO flow
through the radiating pipes with such
velocity that it may return to the boil
er before losing all its heat. This is
achieved by bringing the water under
the influence of the fire in small, con-
tinious bodies, and if this is carried out
the radiating pipes can be reduced in
size with advantage and economy.
The time for putting all such things in
in working order is during the waIm
season.

WASHINGTON, April 16.-The Post
master General has ordered the clerks
in the Office of the First Assistant Post
master-General, not to exhibit papers
or give information to any of the ap-
plicants for the Postmastership. Much
trouble and i'll feeling has been caused
by the rival applicants learning the con-
tents of the papers filed at the depart
ment by one another.
In compliance with the request of
Secretary Manning, Mr.. Widdcombe.
chief of division in the office of the
Auditor of the Treasury for the post
Office department, to day rendered his
resignation, to take effect on the 1st

The Treasury Department, to-day
purchased 445, 600 ounces of silver for
delivery at the Philadelphia and San
Francisco minis.
1t is understood the policy of the ad-
ministration regarding appointments in
the Southern States now held by colored
Republicans will be not to substitute
white men for colored, but to replace
incompetent or dishonest colored Re
publicans with eolored Democrats who
are worthy and capable. In accor-
dance, it is said, with this policy, the
Postmaster General has just appointed
Representative Tom Hamilton of
Beaufort, route agent from Beaufort to
Jacksonboro, S. c. Hamilton was leader
of small band of colored men who
supported the Hamilton government in
South Carolina in 1875.

His improved condition continues. He
has slept well and naturally for seven
and half hours nearly continuously,
taking his nourishment well lat longer
intervals. He feels stronger and his
voice indicates it.
General Grant continues to improve.
His throat was examined to-day by
Drs Barker, Shrady and Douglas, and
the local disease was found to have
improved with his general condition.
The General, feeling much better, sud

PIrTsBURG. April 16.-The Prohi-
bitionists are already outlining their
campaign for the next Presidential cleo
ton. Secretary Logan, of this city, in an
interview to-day, said: 1.-The candidates
will come; one from the strongest
northern State, the other from the
strongest southern State. Judge Hop
kins, of New York, will almost certainly
head the ticket, and Senator Col
quit, of Georgia, will likely be
the candidate for the second place.
Judge Hopkins, in 1882, polled
$4,000 votes in the gubernatorial cleo
ton, and Senator Colquitt is one of
the most popular men of the south. AL
though still member of the Democratic
party, we have the assurance that in the
next Presidential election, he would
sever his allegiance from the old party
and join with the Prohibitionists. The
two men named will, in all probability
be our ticket three years hence"

got his box key away from him, and
Mr.. Petritz not finding it, rushed to the
window, and in gruff voice demanded
the mail in his box. The postmaster, G.

(Petritz) that it was against the
rules of the department to
do such a thing while others
at the window had the pre-
ference, or something to that effect
Petritz, thereupon, with an OATH.
reached through the window and struck
Postmaster Moore in the face. giving
him black eye, and in loud voice
shamefully abused him, after which he
left the Office. Seine time after the
above occurrence. it is claimed that
Petritz returned TO the Office and again
began. abusing Mr.. Moore, and finally
drew revolver and shot at him. For
tunately for the postmaster the ball
missed him, though it was very mar

and placed under $500 bonds. Some
statements were made to the effect that
