Senate Possibilities.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.-The posi-
bility of a long fight between the
President and the Senate suggests
some speculation as to the probabili-
ty of the Senate of the next Congress
being in harmony with him. The
chances are not very brilliant, though
there is more than possibility of it.
The Senate stands at present forty
two Republicans to thirty-four Dem
ocrats, so that the latter must gain
four seats in order to have tie. Vir-
ginia has supplied one, with the pros
poets of another in Indiana. The bat
tie for two more Democratic seats
must be fought in the States herein
classified as doubtful. In New York
and California the Democrats have
the State administration, and it is
reasonable to presume that all the
power such an advantage confers
will be employed. In Michigan it is
probable that the Democrats will
continue their coalition with the
Greenbackers, but there are influen-
tial Democratic leaders who prefer to
have the party make straight fight
for the Legislature. In Wisconsin it
is understood it political circles, a
spirited canvass will be made to pro-
cure Democratic Legislature with
the fixed purpose of sending Post
master General Villas to the Senate
In Connecticut and New Jersey thu
Republicans possess a decided advan
tage in the arrangement of the Leg
islative districts, but now and thel
the Democrats succeed in securing
majority OIL joint ballot. While thu
outlook is on the whole favorable t,
the Republicans, the Democrat
prospect of attaining control of tn
Senate is by no means desperate.

THE TEAR-KERcHIET.
A Tyrolese Custom Which Is Both
Impressive And Peculiar.

In some portions ofTyrol pecu-
liar and beautiful custom still pre-
walls. When a girl is about to be
married, before she leaves her home
to 90 to the church, her mother hands
her kerchief, which is called a tear
kerchief. 1t is made of newly spun
linen, and has never been used. tits
with this kerchief that she dries her
tears when she leaves her fathers
house, and while she stands at the al
tar.
After the marriage is over, and the
bride has gone with her husband to
their own new home, she folds up the
kerchief and places it unwashed in
her linen closet, where it remains UNI
touched. The tear-kerchief has only
performed half of its mission.
Children are born, growup, marry
ard move away from the old home
Each daughter receives from the
mother new tear-kerchief. Hei
own still remains where it was plac-
ed in the linen closet on the day o.
the marriage. Generations come ant
90. The young rosy bride has be
come wrinkled old woman. Sht
may have survived her husband ant
all her children. All her friends may
have died of, and still that last pres
ent which she received from hel
mother has not fulfilled its object
But il comes at last. At last thu
!. weary eyelids close for the long, Ions
sleep, and the tired, wrinkled handl
are folded over a pulseless heart
Then the tear-kerchief is taken from
its place and spread over the PLACID
features of the dead, never to be re
moved until we are summoned t
come forth to the resurrection morn

Nirnad In The Bud.

For eleven years l have suffered

AT times it became very angry in APP
pearanco, discharging large quanti-
tics of matter and giving me intense
pain. l used the ordinary household
remedies only, and it would dry up
and scab would form over il, then
it would increase in size again and
troubled me greatly, and finally
break and discharge freely. Thus
for years it has been annoying me. A
cancer doctor at Atlanta decided 1t
was a cancer, and wanted to cut it
out. could not muster courage to
let him use the knife on my throat.
About that time l saw the advertise
ment fSwift's Specific, and the state
ment of some one suffering like my
self. ! determined to try it, and in
May, 1884, l commenced its use, My
general health began to improve from
the first. l was unable to eat any
thing scarcely, and became quito fec
BILE; but my appetite increased, and
l can eat anything now. The sore
has healed up, and l am in perfect
health. The only sign is small red

KENTUCKY TOBACCO YIELD.


A large quantity of tobacco is be-
ing purchased in Louisville and ship
ped to Livermore, KY, for rehand-
ling. Capt j. w. Belt, the largest
tobacco buyer in Southern Kentucky,
is making his principal purchases in
this city this year, and says that to-
bacco can be bought here and ship
ped to Livermore cheaper than the
same grades can be bought in his vi
cinity. The tobacco crop in South
ern Kentucky is reported much larg-
er this year than was ever known be-
fore, but of an inferior quality. The
average prices paid in Hopkins, Web
ster, Christian and Union counties
last week was So per hundred pounds,
while that in Henderson county aver
eraged 81 per hundred. Great sur
prise, amounting almost to conster.
nation, was manifested at Henderson
last week by most of the tobacco buy.
ers when, upon a thorough investi-
CATION of the deliveries at that place
this season, it showed they reached
the enormous amount of over ter
million pounds.
This at this season of the year il
unprecedented, and with the grea
amount still in the barns in Hender
son county will make the crop ex
coed that of last year fully 3,0O0,OO
pounds. A letter from Evansville
says that owing to this fact price
have declined fully fifty cents on tn
hundred pounds. This does not ap
ply to the best grades, in which tn.
depression has been but slight. 4
crop that last week brought W, y
and So, would now bring about $S, y
and 81 per hundred pounds. The de
liveries during the past week are es
timaled at fully 100000 pounds. VIM
Taylor's crop averaged l,SOO pounds
to the acre, and George Gritiin's i,6U

The Chicago Rafipdy Age, in an article on
aForeclosure Sales and Receiverships for
Six Months says: While the financial con-
dtiou Of the railways Of the United States has
been gradually improving for the last two or
three years, the results of the previous de-
pressions have contiued to be shown in
the closing out by foreclosure sales
of many railway companies which had
tor some time been In the hands Of the courts.
The record of foreclosure sales for the wear
1885 showed large increase over the pre-
vious year. ana that for the hrst SIX
months of 1856, which we now present, APP
pears, on the face, still more discouraging
1t Is as follows: Total of seventeen
roads having a mileage of 5,l92 miles,
bonded debt Of Sl6S,550,oo0, capital stock
Of Sl2S010 600. 1t will be seen that on
its face this is the worst showing which has
been made In connection with railway fore
closure during corresponding period Tor
many years. 1t already greatly exceeds in
re espect to mileage and capital our record of
foreclosures for the whole of lsS5, when the
number of roads was twenty-five, with :, 5,l56
miles of lines and an apparent capital account
of S27S, ,49i, 600. In the previous wear, 1884,
foreclosure sales had reached the low est aggre-
gate for ten years, only fifteen roads having
been sold, and these mostly very short lines,
sggregating only 40 miles, with the com.
paratively small capital of SIS, 100000. II
was shown, however, that new crop of re-
ceiverships was then coming in, and that
foreclosure sales would increase in the fol-
lowing years 1t is gratifying, however, to
find that a comparatively small amount OF
new work Is being laid out for receivers,
We have compiled table showing COM
panies which passed into the bands of the
courts thus far during the present year
The total OF seven roads, with Q
mileage of l,2Si miles, and bonded
and stock investment of s45,3l6,OO0, Is mucf
less than has been shown under the head o
receiverships for similar period in man,
years Compared with the first six months
of 1884, when SO roads, with total of 6, 4S
miles of line and nearly s34S, coo, 900 of capita
and debt, were turned over to receivers,
is certainly very encouraging show
ing. While the dreary and costly pre-
cess of lingering In the hands of the court
and then of passing to the auction block
where large part of their securities will b
wiped out by the merciless act of foreclosure
| is still inevitably waiting in the near iutur
| a large number of our railways, there is Gel
| tainly ground for hope that better method
| and better results will characterize railwa
| properties in the future,

acquaintance is very extensive. The silver

them. The party adjourned at late hour
