A Touching Lament.

Every Republican Convention rec
emily held denounced the exercise of
the veto power by the President. This
is in accordance with an inherent ten
dencv of the rarty to scatter the public
money on general principles, and to
oppose whatever tends to check q Law
ish outflow from the national Treasury.
It will be observed that Mr.. ]. p.
Upton, in addressing the Sedalia Con-
vention, denounced the President for
vetoing ''more bills than all the patri-
OTIS and statesmen who sat in the Pres
idential chair before him." No refer
ence is made to specific vetoes that are
wrong and indefensible; the wrath of
the speaker is leveled at the simple use
of the veto power. Extravaganza was
one of the sins for which the Republi-
can power was arraigned and defeated.
Republican Congress passed too MANY
bills that should have been vetoed and
Republican Presidents made too little
use of the veto power in guarding the
Nations money. the Republican con-
ventions are simply putting themselves
on record as favoring return to the old
ways Of feXtravagance and recklessness.
The haunting memory of abundant
Doodle strs the wrath of the once
dominant party, and it is natural to
find that it's faithful adherents are
clamorous in denouncing the present
order of things when they meet in con-
vention and sadly ruminate on the
cruel fortune which has cut them off
from their old base Of supplies. Con-
ventions and Individuals emit the
most indignant eloquence when their
commissariat Is invaded.-Post Dis

GOred to Death.

w. G. WILLIAMS, a thrifty farmer and
well-to-do citizen of Cook settlement in
st. Francious county, well known to
many in this place, died Monday morn
ing after suffering untold pain from in
iuries inflicted the Friday before by an
enraged and vicious bull. The animal
belonged to Mr.. Williams and as he
had the day before attacked some
women who narrowly escaped from
his attacks Mr.. Williams decided to
put him in a stable. Accordingly he
went to the lot Friday morning, unat-
tended, to put him up. When in the
stable lot the bull began to show his
viciousness. He started at Mr.. Will
liams W ho at once sought refuge be-
hind large elm tree. Here for while
by running around the tree he kept
out of reach of the infuriated BULBS
horns. At last Mr.. Williams, fearing
he could no longer elude the bulls in
tentions, started for the fence. The
beast ran after the now thoroughly
frightened man. Thinking that the
fence was too far for him to safely reach
Mr.. Williams attempted then to re-
turn to the tree. Ere ie could do SO
the bull overlook him and hurting
him to the ground thrust his horns
again ana again INTO the pfOStrate
mans bowels, and finally kneeling up
OIL his chest sought to crush out the
last spark of life. A little dog belonging
to an emplove of Mr.. Williams was the
sole spectator of the horrible affair.
During its progress he had been biting
and barking at the bull, to no purpose.
however, until Mr.. Williams had been
prostrated and gored; then the bull
took after the dog who easily avoided
his onslaught. The brute then return
ed to MIR. Williams as if to renew his
terrible work, but in a few moments
he left him and walked to one side.
The dog ran off to the field where his
master was at work and by his bark
ing and strange actions convinced the
man that something was wrong. Un-
hitching his horses the man followed
the dog to where Mr.. Williams lay in
the lot. He was alive but presented a
most sickening and terrible sight. To
the house he was taken, medical aid
summoded and everything done to al
leviate his sufferings. He was fully
conscious to the last and died Monday
morning. His friends in this vicinity
were much shocked to hear of his de-
mise under such fearful and horrible
ces.-Ptaindeater.

Rescued From the Grave.

My wife for many years was affilict-
ed with blood disease which baffled
the most skillful treatment, and..inally
resulted in very large liberated and
ugly looking running sore on one Of
her limbs, which had been growing
larger and larger for the last four years,
discharging quantities of pus or mat
ter, and was SO rapidly undermining
her health that I almost despaired Of
effecting cure. I tried every known
remedy, such as sarsaparilla and pot
ash mixtures and prescriptions of the
best physicians, with no benefit in any
way. A few months ago my attention
was called to s. s. ). procured some
of this medicine, which she began to
take, and in a short time increased i'm
flesh and strength, and the sore which
was then larger than my hand and
reached to the bone, began to heal.
After continuing its use few weeks,
she regained her health and spirits,
and the sore was entirely healed. She
had been in such q terrible condition
for years, and was SO near death 's door
at the time che commenced the s. s.
S., that I retained from making the
facts known to the public. Though
knowing or being satisfied that she was
cured, I feared the disease might re-
turn; but as it has now been three
months since she stopped using the
medicine, and is in perfect health, be-
ing able to walk several miles without
unusual fatigue, and attends to house,
hold duties as she did before she was
SO afflicted, / publicly make this state
ment for the benfit of all who are af-
fiicted as was my wife.

A Future For Mr.. Hayes.

cit is certainly no discredit to Mr..
Haves,u writes an esteemed CORES
pondent, "that he was once book
peddler."
No; on the contrary, the publication
of this interesting fact shows that Mr..
Hayes was at one time engaged in a
respectable and honorable employment.
Since those days, however, he has
drawn the salary of an office to which
he was never elected, and has derived
a part of his income from thu rental of
Omaha real estate for a gin mill, and,
it has been alleged, for still more dis
reputo BILE purposes.
We are frequently asked whether
The Sun intends ever to "let up on
Hayes - whether we are not willing to
allow him to spend the remaing years
of his life in peace on his Fremont hen
farm without constant reminders of the
part which he bore in the events of
1850; whether nothing that he can
dc, or write, or say, in public or IN
private, is ever likely to win from The
Sun single word of kindness or even
of federation.
We reply that if Mr.. Hayes should
confess the infamy of the crime where
cf he was the chief beneficiary, and
restore to the United States Treasury,
with interest in full, the money which
he obtained by fraud, we should regard
his conduct with approval.
This might make Mr.. Hayes Q poor
man again. It might compel him TO
90 to work at something besides chick
en- raising for the support OF himself
and family. But what gain for him
in the esteem of the community! He
wonId then be man with future.
Evervbody would lend him a helping
hand. Every body would have kind
word for him in his struggles back to
responsibility.
He might even rise once more to bis

Judge Brace Accepts.

BY resolution of the Democratic state
convention a committee of three, con-
sisting of Chas. Fl. Mansur, John A.
Hockaday and James 0. Broadhead,
was appointed to inform Judge Brave
of his nomination as candidate for su-
preme judge aud to ask his acceptance
of the same. The letter of Judge Brace
in answer to the communication adj
dressed to him by the committee, reads
as follows:
PARIS, Mo-, Aug. 30.-Hon. Charles Man.
sur, Hon. John A. Hockaday and Hon. James
o. Broadhead: GENTLEMEN--Your letter
of the 10Th inst, advising me of my nomina
ton by the Democratic state convention for
the Office of judge of the supreme court, has
been received.
With feelings of profound gratitude to the
great party, of which l have been member
during all the days of my manhood, land with
a deep sense of the responsibilities of the po-
sition, accept the high honor conferred,
and should the action of the convention meet
with the approval of the people of the COM
monwealth at the ensuing election hope, by
a conservation of all the powers and energies
of my nature to that end, to so discharge
the duties of the office, that no citizen may
have cause to regret that the lot fell on me
rather than upon another, perhaps more
deserving.
The declaration of principles adopted by
the convention is in accord with my political
convictions, but any extended consideration
of them at this time by one who, by the action
of the convention, has been set apart for a
field of labor where political affiliations and
partisan zeal can have no place, would be
not only supererogatory, but unbecoming.
To know the law Uhe same law for every
citizen of the state), and fearlessly to declare
it-without prejudice or partiality-is the
simple measure of the duties of the arduous
and responsible position for which the con-
vention has done me the honor to name me,
and should this high trust be confided to me,
hope, God helping me, to SO administer it
as not to detract from the just claim that
highest judicial tribunal has, and ought to
have, upon the confidence and respect of
every good citizen of the state, Yours most
respectfully, THEODORE BRACE.

Donough (Ga.) Weekly: We borrowed
a mule and buggy last week and
started out to stir up our delinquents.
We rode twenty-five miles the first
day, had our new hat smashed by
coming in contact with an overhanging
limb, wore out buggy whip which
cost 60 cents, and collected $3.50 in
cash and bushel and half of corn.
The second day we rode twenty-five
miles, missed our dinner, dunned sew
enteen OF our beloved patrons and
didn't collect a cent The third day
we arose at 4 o'clock A. NJ, missed our
breakfast, lost twenty minutes trying
to wake up Jim Alexander as we passed
his house, rode "a miles and collected
$3.50. The fourth day we traversed
the whole country, lost a goose one
of our friends had given US for Christ
mas dinner, and collected $3.50. We
then came home, turned the mule out
to die, and went to bed. If anybody
wants to buy good printing office,
with ample assets and small liabilities,
and larger latitude for fame, etc, we
are prepared to offer a bargain.

THE COST OLA BusHEL OF CORN.

There is a statistician about the
Palmer House who desires to impress
everybody with economic facts. Said
he: DO you see that man over there?
Well, he's farmer down near Elgin.
There he goes with a friend; they're
going to get a drink. The farmer will
pay for it. Now, let me see. That
man will sweat two mortal hours next
Spring to plow enough ground toraise
one bushel of corn That bushel of
corn he will sell for 80 cents. He is
going in there now to spend the 80
cents for two drinks. Therefore, the
farmer and the corn have parted.
Now, let me tell you what becomes of
the corn. A bushel of corn makes sew
enteen quarts of whiskey-four and o
quarter gallons. The distillery gets
its first prolific cents gallon. There
you are; 50 for that bushel of corn.
Now the Government comes in, 80 cts.
a gallon 1886, added to the 50, makes
1886. That brings the product of the
bushel of corn down to the jobber and
wholesaler and, finally, by several
stages, to the retailer. By the time it.
reaches the latter the bushel of corf
or its product of four and quarter
gallons has been reduced one-half,
which means eight and a half gallons.
There are sixty drinks to the gallon
that is the average-eight and half
gallons mean 270 drinks at Is cents
each-there we have $46.35 as the con-
sumer's price for bushel of corn which
the farmer raises and sells for 80 cents.
Who says there is not industry in this
country? But the farmer we saw just
now spent his whole bushel of corn in
the price of two drinks, and the people
who do not till the soil got away with

Among the interesting results of sub
marine or deep sea explorations con-
Quoted under the auspices of the Lon
don Geographical Society are those in
reference to the Atlantic sea bed. 1t
would seem that the bottom of the
North Atlantic is occupied by two val
leys, the eastern extending from ten to
thirty degrees west longitude, and
traceable as far as the equator, with
an extreme depth of less than $4,000
feet. while the western valley reaches
from the thirtieth to the fiftieth de-
gree of west longitude. The two are
separated by ridge in thirty degrees
west longitude, along which the aver
age depth is only 1,60O fathoms, and
which can be traced northward to Ice
land and shouthward to the Azores; it
is volcanic in character at both extrem-
tiles. Its extreme breadth is somewhat
less than 500 miles, and the depth OF
the water increases on both sides of it
according to the distance of the axis.

The actual money value to the
oranges in Florida, rendered unmar-
ketable by being frozen on the trees is
about 100000, estim ating the original
crop at 100000 boxes, which is quite
low enough. Young nursery stock in
the Northern part of the State is badly
damaged by being top-killed, but it
will by no means be a total loss. Bear
ing orange and lemon tree nearly down
to the line of the South Florida Rail
road are injured to the extent of losing
q large part of the Fall growth on
which the bloom comes, so that the
crop of 1886 will be largely reduced in
that region. Pineapples in the same
region, together with guavas and other
tender tropical fruits, are killed to the
roots and will require a year to recup-
crate. Early vegetables have been
damaged, but can be replaced, the
principal loss on them being the time
and the expense of planting and the
loss of extra prices of an early market.
The whole spot money damages is
about $2,0OO,0OO.

Few men have left more substantial
traces of their existence, says the st.
James's Gazette, than Christopher Co
lumbus; yet it is not known for certain
where he was born, nor even where he
was buried, for both San Domingo and
Havana claim the possession of his
bones. The Able Casanova has, how
ever, made out a very strong case in
favor of the right of Calvi, in Corsica,
to be regarded as the natal place of
the great discoverer; and the people
of Calvi are accordingly making ar
rangements to celebrate the fourth
centenary of their illustrious towns
man on a grand scale.

A despatch from Columbus, Ne
arrived from the farm house several
miles north that Minnie Dishmer, Ne
braska's sleeping beauty recovered
consciousness on Sunday, January Sd,
the seventieth day of her cataleptic
trance sleep. The roads have been
impossible until the present time, and
news of her recovery could not be re-
ceived before. The girl fell into a
trance. from which she has now revived,
on October Goth. During the long in
terval she has lain to all appearances
lifeless, with the exception of respira-
tion and pulsation. When Miss Dish
mer awoke her mind was apparently
clear and unimpaired, her appetite and
general feelings good, but her arms
and legs were paralyzed. She says
that she was conscious during the whole
time of her trance, but though she eX-
erted the utmost power to evince her
consciousness, she could not move a
muscle. She said she had no physical
pain until the fortieth day of her
sleep, when an electric battery was ap-
piled. Since then she has suffered a
thousand agonies of body, and at times
it seemed as if her mind would give
way under the strain, and she now
complains of terrible physical suffer-
ings in consequence of the shock to
her system. The doctor in attendance
says, however, that she will recover in
short time, and will also regain the
full use of her limbs.
