THE NEGRO IN ILLINOIS.

The Chicago Tribune and Inter
Ocean have specials from Blooming
ton, ILL.,, saying that within the last
few days number of threatening
letters have been received through
the mails by several of the colored
residents of the village of Belle Flow
er, stating that if the recipient did
not Immediately move away from the
place, it would be worse for them.
The colored people are represented
as being greatly excited and alarmed,
and it is stated that their children
have been insulted and beaten in
Belle Flower public school, until
obliged to leave the institution. The
assertions are also made that much
the same treatment is being given
the colored people in other central
Illinois precincts, and notably the
towns of Saybrook, Gilman and Sib-
ley. The attention of the post-office
department has been called to the
threatening letters mailed, in viola
ton of law, and an investigation is
on foot.

DAKOTA WEATHER.

A GENTLEMAN from Dakota, who
has been visiting the Exposition,
states that when he left home the
thermometer registered fifty degrees
below zero. Men had their faces
frozen by the brief exposure incident
to walking across the street. On
being asked by curious New Or
leans friend how it was possible to
transact business in such weather, he
replied that in Dakota people always
expect to remain at home during a
severe winter, and are always well
enough provided with the where
withal to make themselves comfort
able. AS for poor people, he stated
that it might be safely said in gem
eral way there were no poor people
in Dakota, as only men of energy
and business experience cared to
make their fortune in that region.
On clear, frosty day, he added that
it was perfectly easy for conversa-
ton to be carried on between two
clear voiced men at the distance of a
mile.

NOTHING LOST.

The bone industry of the cour try
is an important one. The four feet
of an ordinary OK will make pint of
neatsfoOt oil. Not bone of any ami
NAL is thrown away. Many cattle
shin-bones are shipped to Europe for
the making of knife handles, where
they bring $40 per ton. The thigh
bones are the most valuable being
worth $50 per ton for cutting into
toothbrush handles. The foreleg
bones are worth $50 per ton, and are
made into collar buttons, parasol han
dies and jewelry, though sleeps legs
are the staple for parasol handles.
The water in which the bones are
boiled is reduced to glue; the dust
which comes from saving the bones is
fed to cattle and poultry: and all
bones that cannot be used as noted,
or for bone black, used in refining the
sugar we eat, are made into fertilizers,
and made to help enrich the soil.
AS regards waste, it is the story of
the pig Nothing is lost excepl the
squeal.

THE CANINE CURSE.

Observingmen are of the opinion
that an ordinary dog-and he is always
hungry-will eat and destroy in twelve
months the equivalent of that which,
if given to well-bread pig, would
make him weigh at the expiration of
that time, 300 pounds gross; $50, 900
such pigs would aggregate IS, 100000
pounds of pork, now worth at the
home shipping station more than ST.,
100000; requiring to transport them
more than 1880 cars, carrying fifteen
tons each, Or a train more than six
teen miles long. This would build
9,400 school-houses and churches,
worth $500 each, or would pay the
average wages of IA 900 school teach
ers.

JUG VS.. BARREL AND HOGsHEAD.

In his charge to the grand jury of
Barlow county, Monday morning.
Judge L. J. Simmons, of Macon, said
that he had learned with pleasure
that Barlow county had recently vo-
ted whisky out ofits borders. He
said: u urge upon you, gentlemen,
to see to it that this law is respected
and enforced. If you will support it
by hearty public sentiment and help
to punish thoes who violate it, YOU
will soon have very little use for
grand juries and criminal courts in
your county. | have presided as
judge in almost every section of Geor-
gla, and | find that violations of the
criminal law are nearly three-fourths
as great in thoes counties where whis-
ky is retailed as in the counties where
prohibition is enforced and respected.
The kind of whisky now used seems
to give men a homicidal mania.
When under its influence they are
not satisfied with fst-and-skull fight
ing, but use implements likely to pro-
duce death. Men may still continue
to buy whisky and drink it, in spite
of your prohibitory law. They will
no doubt send to Atlanta and get it
by the jug full, but it is better than
by the barrel and hogshead. The
evil influences of bar-rooms and bar
room associations are also avoided.
When men buy whisky by the jug full
and carry it to their homes and drink
it in the presence of their wives and
children, they are not so likely to
drink to excess, nor do they so fire.
quently commit crime while under
its influence when away from the evil
influences that always follow and sur
round retail liquor shops. / have no.
ticed, gentlemen, that the dry counties
in the Macon circuit have COMPARE
lively no criminal business, and that
grand juries have an easy time. 1t
is your duty to look carefully to the
enforcement of this law, and see that
any violations of it are speedily pun
ished.

SMART PEoPLE.-Sam V. Harris

No, think it's burglar" replied
Sam.
Gust reach your hand down and if
it is Fido he will lick it."
The burglar, for it was after all,
overheard the conversation, and when
Sam reached his hand down the bur-
glar licked it all over very affection
ately. This was entirely satisfactory,
and they both went to sleep, but when
they woke up next morning there was
not much left in the house that was
worth carrying off.

Cancers Conquered.

The Swift Specific Company have
the most indubitable evidence as to
the cure of Cancer by their famous
medicine, S. S. S. Among others,
John s. Morrow, an old and highly
esteemed citizen of Florence, Ala,
makes the following statement as to
the merits of this remedy:
81 have been suffering with Cancer
in my right ear, for about three years.
l tried various remedies and was
treated with Iodide of Potash, which
produced rheumatism. My feet and
legs were greatly swollen, so that I
could not walk. About one year ago
l was induced to try Swift's Specific,
which soon removed the trouble in
my limbs, and my rheumatism is now
entirely gone and my Cancer is stead
lily improving, being better now than
at any time within two years. This
medicine has done me more good than
anything else l have taken, and I
feel that | am on the road to speedy
cure. Undoubtedly Swift's Specific
is the best blood purifier in the
world" Florence, Ala, Sept. % "a.

HOW HE WILL PAY HIS BET.

A novel bet, made in Rockland
County before the election, is to be
paid in the month of February. Some
time before the election P. B. Les
penasse, sturdy farmer and a strong
Republican, entered into an argu-
ment with Hamilton, a Cleveland
man, which resulted in bet as to
the result. A stipulation was made
in the wager, however, that if the
man who lost would walk from New
York City to Washington, d. c., and
carry with him live pig and roos-
ter, the money lost should be refund
ed. The loser, Mr.. Lespenasse, has
decided to undertake the task speci-
fed. He will start on Monday, Feb
ruary 2, from Madison Square, New
York, for the City of Washington,
taking with him a rooster and pig.
He expects to reach his destination
on the I'd or 4th of March, and will be
present at the Inauguration of Presi-
dent Cleveland. As means of de-
fraying his expenses he will sell pho
tographs of himself and his two com
panions while on his travels. -Near

A MEAN INsINUATIoN.-He called
for gin, and in calm, unembarrass-
ed sort of way filled his glass to the
brim.
"See here, my friend, expostulated
the bartender, "that is gin you are
pouring out, not water"
The customer eyed him rebukingly
over the top of the glass, as he slow
ly drained its contents.
"Mister," he said in a hurt tone OF
voice, edo | look like man that
would drink that much water?'

The physicians of late seem to have
become more earnest in their pro-
tests against the custom of kissing.
They say that lives are daily sacaifced
and diseases very frequently commun-
icated by promiscuous OSCILLATION.
1t cannot be doubted, they contend,
that larger proportion of the human
family nonprofessional persons will
believe is afflicted with maladies which
are easily communicated to others by
the contact of the lips and the inhal-
ing of the breath. The righteousness
of consumption is generally admitted,
and thousands of beautiful mouths,
as tempting as roses, conceal thorns
in the shape of fatal disease germs.
