nothing to say concerning the posi-

A CURIOUS case of boycotting is
going On in a small town in Georgia.
A young man of the town gained
the affections of the beautiful daugh-
ter of cigar maker, hut the old man
didn't approve of the match and
forbade the young man the house.
The Objectionable young man then
organized club of sympathizing
friends who refuse to buy cigars
from the old man unless he raised
the embargo on the lover. 1t is re-
ported that the old man is weaken

SNcE Austria rejected Mr.. Kelley
as minister from the U. 5. there has
been no one appointed or recon-
mended to take his place, which vir-
tually sewers our diplomatic rela-
tions with that country. The Aus
trian minister has gone home, and it
Is stated in Washington that he does
not intend to return, as evidenced
by the advertised sale of his effects
this week. Very well, we know of
no better way of our government
resenting the insult offered in the
rejection of our minister than TO
treat Austria with silent contempt.
We can stand it if she csn.
SENATOR BLAIR, of New Hamp-
shire, has introduced national pro-
hIbiton bill into the United States
senate upon which he made speech
last Monday. He said at the pres
entstime the Republicans were three
fourth for prohibition and one-fourth
against it. He said his party would
yet form the law of its superior being
and unfinished mission, concentrates
its tremendous energies and perfect
equipments upon this gigantic ma
tional evil (intemperance) until the
evil was destroyed. The senator
seems to take no stock in state pro-
hibition, but thinks if Uncle Sam
takes hold of it, it will be made to
go.
A LIVE congressman is costly
article, but dead one is costlIer.
1t only cost us, the dear people of
the best government ON earth, $780,
900 to bury Senator Miller. We
know people hate to object to paying
funeral expences, but we venture an
objection. If all the people Of this
country were to die and each funeral
shonld cost as much as, Senator
Miller's, and all the property in the
United States was expended in bury
ing the dead, nineteen-twentieths of
the bodies would have to remain un-
buried. Congregational jambree
funerals are fraud on the people.
Gentlemen, give us q reform in
congregational funerals.-LInneus

moneys in cities, towns, etc., of the
acts of 1888, requires boards to pub
lish, semi-annually, in some news

JOHN ELLIS, one of Audrail's best
known and leading stock dealers,
went to Chicago last week with stock
and was brought back q corpse.
The Chicago DrOvers' Journal gives
this account of his death:
John Ellis, a wealthy stockman of
Mexico, Mo-, who arrived in advance
of four loads of cattle he had en-
route for the stock yards, took up
quarters at the Transit House and,
on retiring to his room at late hour,
dlsregarded the warning hanging to
the gas brackets and blew out the
gas. When, a few hours later, the
man in charge of the stock knocked
at Ellis door he received no answer.
The door was then forced in and the
unfortunate man was found dead in
his bed.-Mexlco Ledger.
A FEW years ago society of EN-
inent Frenchmen, discussed the
question:: "What language would a
child naturally speak if never
taught?'' Twenty different results
were predicted.
To test the matter, two infants
were procured, and isolated with a
deaf and dumb woman, who lived
alone In the Alps, surrounded with
her sheep and chickens.
After SIX years, the children and
the nurse were brought before the
servants, who were on tip-toe oxpec-
tation as to the result. When, lol
not word could either of the chIl-
dren utter, but most perfectly could
they initiate the growing ofthe cock,
