Cold Spring Titlings.

NORTH COLD SPRING, June Sth.
A pleasant rain fell ON Friday and
Saturday.
Geo. johnson feels rather blue over
the horse race Saturday. George only
lost three horses but he says they didn't
cost him anything, as he works to pay
for them. Never mind, George; we will
win next time.
One of the most exciting races ever
on Cold Spring took place en- Saturday
last, between Ii. Capliager's Sleepy
Bill and George Cottrers Billy Button
Tie race was run for FIVE horses and
two saddles, Caplinger winning by
three feet.
A petition has been circulated pray.
ing for postofEicc at Mr.. Kings place.
The office is to be called Geld Spring,
with Mrs. Ellen King as postmistress.
We are glad to see an interest manifest
ed toward improving the country. The
more posteilices the better.
Wheat in the Cold Spring country
never looked more promising at thi:
season of the year than it does at pres
ent. 1t is not toe much to expect al
acreage of from twenty-five to thirty
bushels per acre on all summer falloweG
land, while sod land will yield from
twenty to twenty-five bushels per acre

sZealtIi OF SeMs,

One noticeable feature about Jewish
cemeteries in the south is the scarcity
Of newly made graves after an epidemic
Of cholera or yellow fever. Statistics
shows that fewer of them die than any
other race from these or kin dred diseases.
During the cholera seourge in Toulon
only two orthodox jews died of it,
while in numbers they equalled fully
20 per cent of the population. Their
immunity from disease, and the certain
ty with which they recover when attack
ed by it, is accounted for by the simplici-
ty OF their diet. They are very strict
abeutfollowing the dietary laws prescrib-
ed by Meses. Isn't it little strange
that Noses, if he was only historian,
should have possessed knowledge super
ior to that Of the wisest and best phYsl.
clans of the present day? He evidently
believed in preventing disease rather
than curing it. This is what De Haven's
Dyspepsia Cure aims to do; it acts direc'
tly on the digestive juices of the stomach

and Dyspepsia. Free sample bottles al

WA1TsBURG, June 10th.
In spite of the quiet manner in which
the Blue Mountain boys slipped out Of
town on Tuesday morning, suppose
yoa are aware that they really did start
for the Waitsburg base ball tournament
at that time. Well, they did. The
day was cool, the roads excellent and
the boys in the best of humer. It was
one continued circus all the way. The
boys surprised the natives at Milton
and struck consternatisn into the quiet
ranehers along the way. Walla Walla
was found to be pretty lively. You
would have supposed from the way in
which the players were interviewed by
the reporters of the Walla Walla press,
that the former were of considerable
Importance in the eyes of more than
themselves. BY the way small Paul is
| back on the Union, which accounts for
the assassine attempts at saying some
thing smart which has made that usually
fair journal seem ridiculous lately.
After glorious dinner at the Delmenico
the boys struck out for the scene of the
contest. The grain fields between
Walla Walla and Waitsburg are equal
to those around Weston-what better
praise could be bestowed upon them
The first man met at Waitsburg was
Jno. Beam, our own popular constable
and deputy sheriff. He had been ur

Is seldom injured by surreptitious rivalry. Imi-

many years been acquainted with the ear-marks

Secretary Bayard and the Negro.

Secretary Bayard has allowed him
self to get out Of temper and abuse
Hon Geo. w. Williams, who was ap-
pointed by President Arthur and CON
irmed as Minister to Hayti. The
difficulty grew out of the Secretary's )
failure or refusal to issue to Mr..
Williams his commission. He is fur
ther credited with being violent
Negro hater. We think that the
President will find tnat man so full
of prejudices against races will be a
failure in the high office of State
which brings him in relation to all
races and calls for the highest order
Of diplomatic talent and intelligenc ce.
That the action oe the Secretary in
this case was actuated by foolish pref
udice appears from the following ex-
tract from the N. Y. Tribune
George w. Williams, the Hay len
Minister, is master OF seven languages
This IS greater accomplishment as a
linsuist than is possessed by any for
eign appointee Of the Administration,

Williams is the author of The Histo
