A Cure for Dangerous Wounds.

A smoke of woolen rags is cure for
the most dangerous wounds. A lady of
my acquaintance ran machine needle
through her finger. She could not be
released till the machine was taken to
pieces. The needle had broken into her
finger in three pieces, one of which was
bent almost double. After repeated tri
ais the pieces were extracted by pincers,
but they were very strongly imbedded.
The pain reached to the shoulder and
there was every danger of lockjaw. The
woolen rags were put over the Goals and
she held her fingers over, and in very
short time all the pain in them was gone,
and it never returned, though it was
some little time before the finger healed.
This is but one of the many instances
of such cure, some of them taking place
several days from the time of the
wound. Let woolen rags be kept sa>
crdly and always at hand for wounds.
The smoke and stencil will fill the house,
perhaps, but that is trife when the all
tentative is lockjaw, or even a long,
painful sequel to wound. Another in-
stance was che wound made by an en-
ragged cat, which tore the flesh from the
wrist to the elbow and bit through the
fleshy part of the hand. One ministra-
tion of the smoke extracted all the pain,
which had been frightful.-Boston

A Canal Across Florida.

! Large capitalists in different cities of
the country, particularly New Orleans,
st. Louis, Chicago and New York, have
given their names and the promise of
the material aid needed to construct
ship canal across Florida, connecting the
Gulf and the Atlantic.
The route around the Florida penin-
sula is declared now to be the most dan
geTous of any known ocean route, the
loss from wreckage On the hidden rocks
ami keys during the last ten years hav+
ing aggregated $1OO,OOO,OOO, while the
annual cost for extra insurance on yes
sells and cargoes over the route is over
81 100000. The fact that the trade and
commerce between the Gulf and Euro
pean and north Atlantic ports is rapidly
increasing has made 1t necessary that
the perils of navigation be reduced, and
this is the object of the Florida ship
canal. The proposed route of the canal
is up the st. John river to Doctors lake,
thence by cut of sixty-seVen miles to
Fort Tanning on the Suanee river, and
down that stream to the Gulf, the total
distance being 12O miles, of which only
81 miles has to be cut. The canal, when
constructed, will shorten the route be-
tween New Orleans and New York or
European ports 500 miles, and will avoid
all the hazards incident to eircumnaVi-
eating the Florida peninsula.
The project has attracted much atten-
tioD in Europe from these interested in
grain and cotton transportation. A re-
port made to the British Government
declares that "this route will establish
direct trade between Europe and the
Mississippi Valley" and report of Rus
sia engineers to that Government says
''the cost of transport of grain from the
Mississippi Valley to Europe will be di-
minished more than so Per cent, that it
will render the United States the abso-
lutte controller of the prices of grain in
the British markets; that Russia will be
dAoOAC " pCGO Will uCAg o110
that on it's completion the United States
will drive Russian grain out of the mar
kets of Western Europe"
The various ship canals in the world
have been great financial successes, and
this fact helps the Florida enterprise.
The Suez Canal is paying annual divi
dends of IS per cent or its enormous
capital, the North Sea Ship Canal has
paid annually 20 per cent since it was
opened, while the Holland Ship Canal
has paid Is. Nineteen ship canals are
now in various states of projection and
completion. By these means the routes
of commerce on the high seas are short-
ened, while the perils of navigation are
reduced to minimum.

FRANK BURR, fresh from visit to
Mrs. General Grant and Col Fred Grant,
writes the Boston Herald a complete and
apparently authoritative denial of the
stories regarding the alleged unhappiness
of Nellie Grant Sartoris' life In England.
She has never had any serious difference
with her husband, never been neglected,
is favorite with her father-in-law, is
going to spend the winter in London in
an elegant establishment of which she
writes a pleased description, and in short
is very far from standing in need of the
copieus outflow of sympathy which has
recently gone out to her. Let US all be
grateful that it is so. The fact, that,
while favorite in the White House, she
married an Englishman, should not pre-
dispose Americans to believe the tales Of
her domestic infelicity.

BILI0uSNESS,

Bilious symptoms invariably
arise from Indigestion, such as
furred tongue, vomiting of bile,
giddiness, sick headache, ir-
regular bowels. The liver Sc
cretes the bile and acts like q
hitter or sieve, to cleanse impu-
rites Of the blood. By irregu-
larfty in its action or suspen-
sions Of its functions, the bile
is liable to overflow into the
blood, causing jaundice, sallow
complexion, yellow eyes, bill
ious diarrh@a, q languid,
weary feeling and many other
distressing symptoms. Bilious
ness may be properly termed
an affection Of the liver, and
can be thoroughly cured by the
grand regulator Of the liver
and hillary organs, BURD0CK
BLOOD BITTERS. 1t tacts upon the
stomach, bowels and liver,
making healthy bile and pure
blood, and opens the culTerts
and sideways for the outlet
Of disease. Sold everywhere
and guaranteed to cure.

HIS LIGHT QUENCHED.
The Sage of Grammercy Park, the
Idol Of the Democracy,
Samuel J. Klden, is Dead.

New YORK, August 4.-Samuel ]. Til
den died peacefully at Graystone this
morning at S:45 o'clock. There were
present with him DR.. Charles E. Sim J.
monds and Samuel Swift, and his niece,
Miss Gould. His death was entirely un-
expected. and was caused by failure of
the heart following an acute attack of
diarrbGa and nauseau. Paralysis and
bodily infrmities incident to old age had
reduced Mr.. Tilden to mere skeleton.
and his last days were marked by eXt
treme feebleness.
The routine of daily life for year
past at his beautiful residence on the
Hudson was about as follows: He usual
ly awoke in the morning about 4:3O
o'clock. An electric bell at the head of
his bed summoned his valet, who gave
him his medicine which he took as regu-
larly as he did bis food. Afterward he
would lie about until o'clock seeming
ly doing, though when his valet. think
ing him asleep approached the bed. he
found his eyes open and watching him.
If he felt well he was assisted down to
o'clock breakfast which usually con-
sisted of milk and some rich broth.
Owing to paralysis, Mr.. Tilden was
unable to close bis lips, and his mouth
was constantly open. His right hand
from the same cause was entirely use
less, trembling all the time. He had not
even the power to raise it to his mouth.
His left hand was but slightly affected
by the stroke of paralysis, and he had
the partial use Of it. In eating he used
his left hand to hold up his lower jaw.
His faithful companion, Miss Anna
Gould, who is the sister of the wife of
Mr.. Henry Tilden, placed to his mouth
every particle of food he ate. She gem
orally put it in his mouth with spoon
and he was enabled to swallow it by
raising his lower jaw with his left hand
and putting his head back. While at
breakfast the morning papers were read
to him, and notes made by his secreta
ries at his direction of any important
point or move in the political world.
After breakfast he usually went into his
Office, on the right side of the hall, where
he saw the different employees of the
place, and heard their respective reports.

A DAKOTA editor made the following
statement in his paper last week: Times
being rather hard, we are going to take
our wife to the home of our mother in
law next week for short visit; and we
will give our readers little vacation by
not issuing any paper. They won't lose
much, for there is little news going just
now; and we print this week an edit
orial on the tariff which would have ap-
peared next week. The only thing we
have had to leave out on this account is
Bill Jones ad. about farm for sale, but
that is of no consequence, as be hasn't
paid US anything for it yet. Brethren,
white paper is too blamed dear to fool it
away when our mother-in-law will keep
US week for nothing"

ACTION TAKEN IN CONGRESS.
Samuel j. Tilden.

The death of Samuel J. Tilden removes
from the stage of politics one of its most
prominent figures, bereaves the Demo-
cratic party of a leader who was revered
by its masses. and deprives the Republic
of great citizen. Slight of frame and
never robust in health, he had reached
the scriptural fullness of years, and it
was well known that for years past his
ailments have been increasing, but yet
the news of his death came as shock.
The seclusion of his life had to a great
extent removed his personality from
public view, and he was chiefly known
to the people by his occasional utter
ances on National affairs. In them there
was no trace of feebleness or debility;
on the contrary, they were lustrous with
the high intelligence of an athletic mind.
Mr.. Tilden was indisputably one of
the great men of our times and the pub
lie services rendered by him were of
high order of merit and of great perma-
nent value. He was rare combination
of politician and statesman. He was
accomplished in the arts of party man
agement, and at the same time he had
the statesman's philosophic insight into
the permanent forces of politics. lie
has been celebrated by his party as a
great reformer, but there was little in
his nature of the zeal pertaining to that
character. 1t would be preposterous to
suppose that the corruption of the Tweed
regime was not fully perceptible to his
keen scrutiny, but he continued at the
head of the state organization of his
party calmly tolerant of the methods

THERE will be two constitutional
amendments voted on at the State elec-
tion in Georgia in October, one of which
is to place MANNED Confederate soldiers
upon permanent pension list. Arti-
Gle VII, Section l, Paragraph 1, of the
Constitution of 1877 when so amended
would read as follows: "To supply the
soldier who lost limb or limbs in the
military service of the Confederate
States with suitable artificial limbs du>
ring life, and to make suitable provis-
ions for such Confederate soldiers as
may have been permanently injured in
such service Under the last clause of
the proposed amendment the Legisla-
ture would be at liberty to establish
pension list direct. There is no opposi-
ton whatever in the State to the pro>
posed amendm ent.

Religion is not a feeling. but life.

Religion is not feeling. but life.
There is not much difference between
careless extravaganza and hole in the
pocket.
In the worst of time there is more
cause to complain of an evil heart than
of an evil world.
1t matters not whether home is
clothed in blue or purple, if it is only
brimful of love, smiles and gladness.
Forbidden pleasures do not yield
moiety of the qualification that comes
from those that are lawful and permiss>
able.
Money and fame are the two things
| that men work hardest for, and after
death one is worth to them about as
much as the other.
The hardest useful labor is less ex>
hausting in the long run than exciting
| pleasures, as most yOf their devotees in
middle life sadly confess.
Great thoughts are our most precious
and abiding treasures, and they should
be eagerly sought and carefully stored in
| the caves of memory.
Do not permit yourself to be led away
by the multitude, for you will be alone
when you die and when you render your
last account.
Nothing, indeed, but the possession of
some power can with any certainty dis
cover what at the bottom is the true
character of any man.
Be assured that there is no part of the
furniture of mans mind which he has
right to exult in but that which he
has hewn and fashioned for himself.
People are commonly so employed in
pointing out faults in those before them
as to forget that some behind may at the
some time be discanting on their own.
When you make mistake don't look
back at it long. Take the reason of the
thing into your own mind and then look
forward. Mistakes are lessons of wis
dom.
To be idle and poor have ever been re-
proaches, and therefore every man en-
deavors with his utmost care to hide his
poverty from others and his idleness
from himself.

Col. JEFF. BoYNToN, of Arlington,
Ga, has discovered novel way for fla
voring watermelons. He says you can
flavor them with any extract you desire.
His method is: Before the melon ripens
cut slit about an inch long in the stem,
and about two-thirds through it, and
pour in drop or so of the extract every
morning until you think you have the
melon favored highly enough. Every
morning after pouring in the extract
close the stem and tie string around it
to hold it together. Col. BoynUon flavor
ed quite number of melons in this
manner. and is now enjoying some rare
and excellent melons.

SUMNER WIND.

1t is sultry day; the sun has drunk
The dew that lay upon the mountain
grass,
There is no rustling in the lofty elm
That canopies my dwelling, and itsshade
Scarce coolS me. All is silent, save the
faint
And interrupted murmur of the bee,
Settling on the sick flowers, and then
again
Instantly on the wing. The plants
around
Feel the too potent fervors; the tall
maize
Rolls up its long green leaves; the clor
yer droops
Its tender foliage,and defines its blooms,
But far in the fierce sunshine tower the
hills,
With their growth of woods. silent and
AS if the scorching heat and dazzling
Were but an element they loved. Bright
clouds,
Motionless pillars of the brazen heaven,
Their bases on the mountain-their
white tops
Shining in the far ether-fre and air
With rejected radiance, land make turn
The gazer's eye away. For me, lie
Languidly in the shade, where thick turf,
Yet virgin from the kisses of the sun,
Retains some freshness, and l WOO the
wind
That still delays his coming. Why so
slow,
Gentle and voluble spirit of the air?
D, come and breathe upon the fainting
earth
Goodness and life. Is it that in his cares
He leaves me? See, on yonder woody
ridge,
The pine is bending his tall top, and now
Among the nearer groves, chestnut and
oak
Are tossing their green boughs about
He comes;
Lo where the grassy meadow runs in
wavesi
The deep, distressful silence OF the scene
Breaks up with mingling of unnumbered
sounds
And universal motion. He is come,
Shaking a shower of blossoms from the
shrubs,
And bearing on their fragrance: and be
brings
Music of birds, and 'rustling of young
boughs,
And sound of swinging branches, and
the voice
Of distant waterfalls. All the green
herbs
Are stirring in his breath; a thousand
flowers,
Pv tho roadsido and bordars of tho
brook,
Nod gaily to each other; glossy leaves
Are twinkling in the sun, as if the dew
Were on them yet, and silver waters
breaks
Into small waves, and sparkle as he
comes. Bryant.

The following from the Tifin News
indicates that it does net pay to store
wheat: Over four years ago a Seneca
county farmer stored 500 bushels of
wheat in a Tiffin warehouse. At that
time wheat was worth S1.5O bushel and
he could have taken $1,000 for the lot.
Had he sold and loaned the proceeds at
per cent, the total, principal and inter-
est, would now be S1.5O0. He sold the
wheat the other day for so cents per
bushel, and. after deducting storage, re-
ceived less than $500, making square
loss of over $1,000.
