Probably this will be of interest to
many of our readers. Now here is
something which is really worth max
ing a note of, If piece of charcoal is

Immediately, and if left upon the
wound for an hour will cure it. This
seems almost incredible, but as a piece
of charcoal is readily procurable it
should be kept in every house for inn

Mr.. EDMUNDS AND THE PRESIDENT.
Senator Edmunds attended the Presi-
dents reception within few hours af-
ter the delivery of his great speech in
opposition to the Chief Executives
views. There was a mOmentary en-
barrassment between Mr.. Cleveland
and the Vermont statesman as they
shook hands.
Then Mr.. Edmunds whispered some
thing in Mr.. Cleveland's ear-in his
left ear. The Buffalo statesman smiled,
shook his head, grabbed Mr.. Edmunds
by the shoulder and whispered some
thing in his ear. For the sake of histOri-
cal accuracy we will say his right ear.
At this juncture Miss Rose Cleveland,
who was standing near them, shook
her finger at Senator Edmunds and
laughingly said ave owe you one
for that, Senator ~
Mr.. Edmunds passed on, smiling.
1t may be supposed that the dialogue
was like this: Did hurt you much,
Mr. President?" mot much, Sena-
tor p'- YOnkers Statesman.

THE Poison IvY.-If any person
who is liable to poison with poison ivy
will take pure olive oil after being ex-

and the oil will neutralize the evils of
the poison If a few doses be taken even
after the poison has broken out.

Much of the depression of business
in this country to-day is the result of
the unsettled condition of labor. It is
impossible to tell when the struggle
will end and with what results. The
troubles are not, as they frequently
are, local, but throughout the whole
country. Capital is i'll at rest.

There is a woman in the Chicago
Post Office whose employment is to
correct misdirected letters. Her brain
is business directory of the United
States, and she knows where to locate
every firm of any sort of prominence.
If a clerk calls out a misdirected letter
as Smith, Jones & Co., Chicago" she
will often indicate the correct address,
as Louisville, Milwaukee, or SPRING
field, Mass, without taking her atten-
ton from the work she is engaged in.
During her term of service some 2OO,-
600 misdirected letters have been saved
from the dead letter office.

one Of the curiOsities of agriculture on
the Eastern Shore of Virginia. With
in an area of about 5000 acres live
5000 geese of several varieties, attend

corn etc. The object is the collecting of
down for quilts and pillows, and once
in about six weeks a plucking takes

under the wings are plucked, and it re-

Philadelphia for cleaning and sorting.

that such complaints should be arrest

Active preparations are being made
for the laying Of the new line on Madi-

money for this purpose have met with
ready sale and the work will begin
shortly. The iron has been ordered
and as soon as it arrives track laying
will begin.
When the new line has been con-
structed, a complete circuit from the
depot up town will be formed and cars
will run the entire circuit. Only one
fare will be charged if the passenger
does not leave the car. In that way, a
person living on Madison street can take

by people who don't like to wait fol

Prof. Emery's Concert.

GAINESVILLE finds much pleasure and
profit in having so accomplished a
musician in its precincts as Prof. En-
cry; the annual concerts that he gives
are among the most pleasant entertain
ments that the city enjoys,
The concert given last Friday night
was one OF the best he has ever gwen
and was greatly appreciated by those
who attended.
The writer regrets that lack Of educa-
ton in the divine art makes him an in
competant critic of such performances
as those that were given Friday night,
but he is nevertheless prepared to
chronicle the universal verdict OF those
better informed, that the concert, as a
whole, was something superior and that
many OF the performances in detail,
afforded a rare treat to the lovers Of
good music.
The programme opened with chorus
in which quite number of singers
took part.
After this was an overture-Fra
Diavolo, with Mrs. B. H. Owen, Miss
Sallie Owen, Mrs. f. 7. Hodgson and
Miss Addie Wilson at pianos; DIR. Nico-
lasssen at the organ; DR.. Wright with
the flute and Prof. Emery and Mr..
Joseph r. Wilson, Jr., with violins.
The rendition of this piece brought
forth such ordinations as beautiful, "
Splendid" &c. The imitation OF a
bugle call on the organ was particularly
pleasing.
| Misses Cora and Marion Yates sung a
duet-"Gently Signs the Breeze" that
was we'll rendered and deservedly APP
plauded.
Nocturne-from Midsummer Night
Drea n, was given by Miss Price at the
piano, Miss Bertha Emery at the organ
and Prof. Emery with the violin. No
piece on the programme afforded higher
enjoyment.
The vocal solos were given by Miss
Ella Munford, Miss Jennie Bailey, Miss
Eva Saunders and Mr.. VIM. Forbes.
Each of these singers have good voices
and succeeded in pleasing the audience.
Miss Jennie Bailey was loudly enchored
She sings delightfully."- and in manner
indicating that she has naturally fine
voice we'll cultivated.
Master John Ovens violin solo was
one of the most appreciated features o
the programme. He is a youngster no
yet out of knee pants but handles hi
instrument with marvellous accuracy
and skill.
"Believe Me-" trio by Miss Kate
Wilson, Mr.. Sam Hodgson and Mr.
George Hendrick was given with fin,
effect and much applauded.
There we're several other performan
ces worthy of mention. Among then
the overture-Masaniello, which wa
given on pianos, organ, violins AM
flute by Mrs. Owen, Mrs. Moore, Mis-
! Price, Miss Sallie Owen, DR.. Nicolassen
7 Prof. Emery, Master John Owen ant
, DR.. Wright. Also ''The War March G
the Priests" rendered by Miss Dell
Burgess, Mary Volley Alwell and Berth
/ Emery on the pianos and organ.
Prof. Emery requests the CHRONICLE
