when they get into a scrimmage
down IN Mexico, it always takes people
quite spell to tell accurately which is
the government and which the revolution.

Some Chinese miners recently found
nugget of gold in Sierra county, Cali
fornia, that weighed l5s ounces. They
sold it for $4,000. But two larger mug
gets have ever been found in the world.
The July FIRE record in the United
States and Canada shows loss of SlO,-
ooo,Ooe worth Of property, an amount SO
per cent. greater than the average FIRE
loss In July during the last twenty years.
There were IT'S fires by which the loss
was $4,000 and upward. The sixteen
largest fires caused loss of $4,000, 900.
Our farmers should take advantage
OF the tremendous grass crop of the
county this year by storing away an ex-
ira amount of nicely cured hay. Thus
seeming disadvantage may be turned into
profit and the stock be made happy in
the winter months by this wise and am
pie provision for them.-Lake City Re

Major Westcott informs us that up-
on the completion of the new Haulover
canal, the company propose to build
tower OF sufficient height, meanway be-
tween the Lagoon and Indian river,
which, with light will guide the sailor
during the night to the new route.
Smaller lights will also be placed at the

-Rattlesnake Jim, of Wooster, O.,
says that the only reliable cure for the
bite of rattlesnake is turpentine. He
says that bottle of turpentine held over
the bitten spot, the uncorked mouth down
will draw out the poison, which can be
seen as it enters the turpentine in sort
of blue flame. Although he has never
been bitten, he has tried this cure on his
dogs, always with success.
Mr.. Powderly has again defined his
views as to the uses of the boycott. He
continues to believe in it as q last resort.
but says that he would not do so if en-
ployers of labor did not resort to it. In
other words, two wrongs make . right.
This is Mr.. Powderly's great mistake.
The boycott Is wrong, no matter who
uses it or how it is used, and two wrongs
are just twice as wrong as one wrong, NO
matter how related.-Raleigh Nesos and
Observer.
The Savannah Ne,os considers the
baby coach as the most potent enemy of
babies, because of incompetent nurses,
and concludes with medical testimony
against them: DR.. Maclsgan, the medi-
cal officer Of the Hexhsm. rural sanitary
district, England, while calling attention
to the fact that in his district l24 chill
dren out of 1000 die during their first
year, attributes much of the mortality to
inf1ammatory diseases of the brain and
lungs, caused by exposure in perambula-
tors. DR.. Taylor, of Scarborough, also
lays much stress on the matter of wind
pressure to which the perambulator ex-
poses children IN the causation of dis
eases of the throat and chest.
Owing to the unfortunate divisions
in Tennessee on the debt question the Re-
publicans have had strong hopes of cap
turing the State. A few years ago Re-
publican governor was elected, two Dem
ocrats of opposing views on the States
debt being in the field, and almost even
ly dividing the Democratic vote. In the
last Presidential election the majority for
Cleveland was less than 10000. It be-
gan to look rs if the Republican expecta-
tions we're well founded. In this year
of grace. however, all elements united,
differences Of the past were forgotten and
the Democratic candidates for Supreme
Court Judge were elected . few days ago
by over 10000 majority. This serves
notice on MIR. Blaine and all Republican
leaders that the Volunteer State is safely
in the Democratic column and thst it cam
not be shaken from its position. What
has been done in Tennessee must be done
everywhere. Factional feuds must cease
and all Democrats work 70 . common
end-thst Of party and not individual
good. Montgomery ddvettssr
