Alabama Etiquette.

The last of the summer nights con-
certs took place at Frascati last night.
A dance followed, in which many par
ticipated. A reporter sat near cou-
pie from the country. The young lady
desired to dance, but the lank youth
had not acquired the art He had an
acquaintance present, however, and he
sought him out for presentation to the
girl. The Importance of the occasion
made profound impression upon the
rural gentleman. He marched his
friend in front of the lady, and was
about to proceed when he noticed that
the two were too near together. So
he moved his friend back about yard.
The lady was seated. With great pret
cision aud u wave of the hand tho
young man said: '.Introduction."
Then he motioned to his city friend and
said: Miss Brown, take the acquaint-
ance of Mr.. Styles" Next, with an
other flourish:, "Mr. Styles, take the
acquaintance of Miss Brown" Finally,
with an even grander salaam than be-
fore, he said: "All take acquaintance"
And with that he turned upon his
heel and left the acquaintance to ripen
as best it might. Rcgister.

Died from a Rife.

Arthur Criss, of Canton, o., aged Is
years, was severely bitten in the hand
several months ago by rat which
was dying from a dose of rough on
rats. The wound was poisoned and
the boy got very sore hand. The
injury healed, but the poison which
infected his system made him a sub.
ject of occasional fits. Friday last he
became violently ill and died the fol.
lowing night from blood poisoning,
caused by the old wound. The rough
on rats, with which the body of the
rat was impregnated, was infused into
young Criss' blood by the bite, causing
pyaemia and finally death,

TOrnadoes.

In 1884 the Signal Service Bureau
recorded 172 tornadoes, occurring on
SO days. Only one month of the year
January-was entirely free from these
storms, while they were most frequent
in July, but more severe earlier in the
season. Every section OF the United
States was visited except New England
and the region west of the summit of
the Rocky Mountains. In 62 instances
the width of the tornado path varied
from 75 to 5, 2SO feet, the average be-
ing 1.U37 feet; and in 81 cases the
length varied from to 130 miles, the
average being Sc miles. The storms
moved forward at an average rate of
AZ miles an hour, the rotations of the
inevitable funnel-shaped cloud being
accomplished, of course, at q vastly
greater velocity. The direction of the
cyclones course is usually northeast
It's time is most frequently from four
to half-past five o'clock in the after
noon, rarely as early as three, although
not pncommonly as late as half-past
seven or eight in the evening, and
sometimes even later.

The Cincinnati Election Ca.e.


A Columbus special of the 9th inst.
to the Cleveland Plain Dealer says:
"The habeas corpus case from Gin
cinnati will be argued tomorrow In the
Supreme Court. and an officer arrived
here at midnight with Daggett, the
Judge Of election. In arguing this
case the attorneys will argue as to the
constitutionality of the registration
law passed last winter. Messrs. Fol-
lett and Hewitt will represent the
Democrats, and Chief of Police Nc
Dougal and Mr.. Kittridge the COM
mittee of one hundred of Cincinnati.
Ex.Congressman Follett and Mr.. Hew-
lit will tomorrow make application
for q writ of mandamus to compel
Clerk Dalton of Hamilton to issue
certificates to the Democratic Senators
elect. Of course the clerk will have
to admit that all the allegations made
are true, and on these admissions the
court will have to issue a peremptory
writ of maadamus so it will be seen
that IL the Republicans can deprive
the electors of having their votes
counted by a partisan judge and judg-
Is, there is one court that will see that
nobody can 60 back of the face of the
returns, and these show the fact that
all the Democratic Senators are elected
and will receive their certificates. The
Republicans will howl for awhile and
then drop into obscurity."

who Are the BulIdOzers!

The Richmond, Va, correspondent
of the New York Sun, writing under
date of October Goth, says:
EXACTLY what the negroes will do
is one of the most interesting ques-
tions of this canvass. That many of
them desire to vote with the respecta-
BILE white men of their communities,
with the men with whom they have
been raised and who gave them their
daily bread, there is no doubt, but how
they will brave the storm of obloquy
which will result is not apparent
Certain it is if the negro vote is split
in this canvass it is gone from the Re-
publican party forever. A number of
colored men have asserted their desire
to vote with the Democrats, but have
said that they could not, because not
only themselves but their wives and
children will be ostracised.
Malone is now beginning to real
ize his blunder in importing Sherman
and Foraker into Virginia. Mr.. J. l..
Powell, "a former prominent Mahonite,
and a member of the Legislature, pub
licly announced today that the pres
ence of Sherman and Foraker in Vir-
ginia was too much for him, and that
he from this time quit Malone and
would vote the Democratic ticket. He
said:
Sherman, Foraker, Logan, and
Blaine have been and are proclaiming
to our fellow citizens of the North and
to the civilized world that the people
of Virginia are election swindlers and
murderers. The leaders of the 80. call
ed Republican party of Virginia look
to these men as their apostles. and
they volunteer as witnesses to prove
that strangers coming to Virginia for
homes will be in the power of law
breakers and assassins. Therefore as
an individual looking to my personal
interest, as Virginian having pride
in the good name, growth and wealth
of my State, as citizen of the United
States earnestly desiring the strength

vass on falsehood, well known to be
a falsehood by all the people of Vir-
ginis. The people of Virginia are in
capable of organized ballot box swim
ding and political assassination. Not
man in Pottsylvania, Louisa, and
Stafford couhties can testify to such
lawlessness, and we are as good, per-
haps, but no better than other parts of
the State. This persistent slander of
our State will turn away from our bor-
ders the immigration, enterprise and
capital that would speedily make us a
prosperous people, and our State great
and rich. Very lately one of the Re-
publican party's candidates said to me

the fools ever asked the question,

Republican. He Is the most Jealous,
rancorous, offensive partisan conceiv-
able, and fairly lives to spend his voice
and his dollars in the cause. Mrs.
Parker, his wife, on the contrary, is a
Democrat of almost furious zeal. She
hates all Black Republicans, except
her husband, with q perfect hatred,
and during the campaign she keeps
even him on short commons, so that
she can save money to contribute to
the Democratic funds. Complaints
have been coming to First Assistant
Postmaster General Stevenson for
some time of Mr.. Parker's rabid par
tisanship, and Col. Stevenson finally
decided to remove him. The next
question was to select a successor, and

Stevenson decided that about the most

gone to the trouble and expense of GO
ing through the State of Virginia be-
slobering her sons with fulsome praise
for their valor and devotion, to have
the Old Dominion go back on them

THE question is asked if partisan
Republican Judge in Cincinnati can
set aside the election of the Demo-
cratic Senators of Hamilton county,
why cannot a Democratic Judge in
Hamilton county upset the election
of the Republican Representatives of
that county? And if our courts are to
be thus prostituted to base partisan
purposes, where will it all end? The
Republicans are setting dangerous
precedent in undertaking to override

AcoaumsUs EDITOR SHOT.


By a state Osficiai whom He had
severely Criticised.
COLUMBUS, O, November 8.-Great
excitement WAS created in the lobby
of the Neil House, a quarter before 7
o'clock this evening, by an encounter
between Auditor of State Emil Kies-
ewetter and w. g. Elliott, editor and
proprietor of the Sunday Capital news
paper. During the encounter two
shots were fired by Kiesewetter, the
fret Of which struck Elliott in the ball
of the thumb of the right hand, pro
ducing only flesh wound, and passed
through the left side of the overcoat,
but did not touch the body. When
they became freed from each other
Elliott made an effort to escape, at the
same time trying to get his revolver
from his pocket, and when about
twelve feel away Kiesewetter fired a
second shot, which in its excited con-
dition missed its aim, and struck the
ceiling of the hotel Office.
The engagement caused great stir
among the guests, and confused those
who were eye.witnesses, SO much 30
that scarcely any two have the same
version Of the attack. After Kiese-
wetter fired the second shot he walked
out on to the street, and was soon after
arrested, and gave bond in the sum of
81 600 for his appearance before the
Mayor. People from all parts of the
city soon heard of the encounter and
rushed to the Neil House to learn the
facts, and the lobby was crowded all
the evening.
The cause of the attack is feud of
two or three years standing, during
which time Elliott in his paper has
severely criticized Kiesewetter, charg-
ing him with official misconduct on
several occasions. Each has made
made statements in regard to the
shooting, which are capable of widely
different constructions.
