and remained in the service until
after the fall Of Richmond. He was
connected with the army of the
Potomac, and participated in many
of the hard fought battles, which
made that amy q household word,
but throughout his ten years SER
vice he remained bugler.
Receiving an honorable discharge
he went to Mexico and served
under President Juarcz in his war
against Macmillan for Is months,
and witnessed the execution OF
that unfortunate emperor. 1t was
in the defense Of the liberties of
Mexico that he received his
shoulder-straps. He next located
at Minneapolis, Minnesota, where
he engaged in the practice of law.
As Republican he was elected q
member oftho legislature, where in
1868 he introduced bills for prohi.
bition, for woman's suffrage and for
abolishing capital punishment. All
these bills were killed.
Removing to Bloomington, Illi-
nois, in 1869, he was nominated as
a straight prohibitionist as del
egate to the state constitutional
convention and received 1000
votes. This was The first prohibi-
ton nomination ever made. In
1872, '76 and 80 he headed the
prohibition electoral ticket and
stumped the state. He has been a
member Of every national prohibi-
ton convention except that of 1884.
In 1878 he ran for congress in a
Chicago district and received rs
votes.

PERHAPS there is no people on the
continent that are more interested
in politics than the Cherokees, or
that can manipulate such matters
better, considering the premises
in which they work. Every man
is politician, even if he does not
understand the acts of government
but what he does understand in
getting himself or his friends into
office is well worth the study of
any aspirant for such honors.
With some it is an occupation or,
If you please, a profession. lie
does nothing else, thinks Of nothing
else, talks of nothing else. The
strength of his whole soul, body
and mind is wrapt up in politics.
Intermission between elections
abates not his ardor, but Keeps on
in the even tenor of his way, plan
ming and talking politics until
he dies.

Don Carlos Name and Title.
The Spanish Don Carlos, as stated in late
telegraphic dispatches, has issued manifesto
to the Spanish people which is regarded as q
direct bid for the throne The San Antonio
Express says that his claim consists in the
fact that his father, Don Juan, was the
brother Of Carlos vi, who died without
issue. His main strength lies in the north
western provinces His full name is Don
Carlos Maria de los Dolores Juan Isadore
Josef Francisco Quirino Antonio Miguel Ga
briel Rafael de Bourbon, duke Of Madrid
When he visited the United States some
years ago the steamer fremen threw in
chunks Of it for fuel
Possibly Don Carlos Is q relative of that
traditional Spaniard who was a nobleman Of
high degree and happened to be travelling in
France. Arriving at a country hotel in the
middle Of the night, he knocked at the door.
The landlord protruded his bead from an
upper window and asked who was there.
Don Fernando de Cash Blanca, de Tres
Palacois de todas LH Santos etc, etc.
20, bother! I haven't got room for the
whole gang said the landlord, banging the
window and leaving the man with the long
name out in the cold
Perhaps Don Carlos long name has some
thing TO do with his being left out in the cold.

War ON the Snakes.

From the GreeNes60rO (GG.) J0urndG.
For some days rumors were as thick as
red bugs that nests of rattlesnakes were
roaming and TiOting at will on the farm
of Mr.. I. ID. Sanford, few miles from the
city The dimensions and "numerosity"
of these reptiles increased from hour to
hour in exact proportion to the growth of
the reports. until it became plain that I'M
less some means of capture or destruction
were set atoot at once, these venomous
and villainOus creatures would geometri-
cally outgrOw the confines of Sanford S
farm, and not only fill the brief interval
that marked it's distance from Greenes-
boro, but indeed overflow into the city
itself, 1t is this horrible apprehension by
many ofour conservative townsmen which
accounts for the frequent sounds as OF
persons clambering toward our chimney
tops of late, and this latter will account
for the stove pipe smoking in the Home
Journal Office. On Monday such was the
alarm and excitement in this vicinage
that recruits were demanded for the wage
of determination that was imperative.
Twenty volunteers responded. Every
man OF them had killed a snake, and even
If be mad not was prepared to say that he
had Such party as this meant mischief.
Under Gen. &. e.. Vincent and Coroner
Foster the pageant was sworn in for the
war. The oath was simple and merely
recited that the men were not to be di-
yerted from their deadly purpose by any
accident OF watermelon patches between
the starting point and SanfOrd's farm.
The men were further sworn to not repre-
sent a snake TO be smaller or fewer than
he really was. The party moved of in
good order, tine alto horn of the band Civ
ing them boost on their journey by blow
ing them a few measures of the ancient
refrain, "Wake, snakes! day is break
ing" In the absence of the phalanx mot
sound WAS heard, not funeral note"
and by the time the assaulting party
reached SanIord's, the Greensboro mer-
chants had incOntinently put up their
shutters, remaining on the inside armed
with umbrellas. Bulletins of the pro-
gress of the deVas tation were faithfully
kept by journal reporter percDed in a
tree quarter of a mile from the city.
Thirteen snakes-Tattlesnake at that
were the result of the sortie. Two young
buzzards fell easy victims TO the attack
ing party through fright. The DuZzards
had no rattles. The snakes had. They
could not have been distinguished from
each other but for this fact, as they were
discover ed occupying the same quarters.
The buZzaTdS were also buZZards, and
not eagles. A buzzard don't get TO be an
eagle till he goes up north. The smallest
snake OF the thirteen was over three feet
long and had nine rattles and a collar
button. The largest was about six feet
long aud had twenty-one rattles, showing
his age to be twenty-ODe years. Twelve
Of the snakes and the two helpless buzz
yards were unceremOniously dispatched.
The patriarchal rattlesnake was spared
his lie, being Just old enough to vote.

A Tragedy in the Olden Times.
From tie Wdslingt0n Gao Gaeetts.

from the HdShangtOn (Gd) G6seHs.
Wheat's camp ground, on the line of
Wilkes and Lincoln counties, is perhaps
the Oldest and most noted in this part of
the State. Everybody has heard of Wheat's
or Lincoln camp ground. but perhaps
few, and they of the older class of people,
ever heard of terrible tragedy that oc-
Cured there more than half a century
ago-even before the camp ground was
established. From the best authority we
can obtain iS must have been about 60
years ago.
Mr.. Wheat was a highly respected,
Christian gentleman, whose residence
was on these grounds. DR.. Archer was
the physician of the neighbOrhood, who
lived not great distance away; a man
equally as highly esteemed, when sober,
but he sometimes got on sprees, and than
he was like mailman.
The closest neigh borly relations had eX-
listed between the two families for long
number of years. One fatal day DR.. Ar
cher was on one OF his terrible sprees,
when he began beating and matreating
his daughter, who was young lady nearly
grown. She was forced to fly from her
father and ran with all her speed over
to Mr.. Wheat's. In great distress she
told him of her woes, and that her
father was following her. just then Mr..
Wheat saw DR.. Archer coming with
great club in his hand. Grabbing an old
flint and steel gun near by, Mr.. Wheat
went to the door to meet the enraged man.
He told him if he came in he would GER
tainly shoot him down. AS needless OF
danger as he was OF everything else, DR..
Archer came rushing into the house, when
Mr.. Wheat fired at close range with deadly
aim. The doctor fell dead on the spot
This tragedy attracted widespread at
tention at the time because of the prOmi-
hence of the two gentlemen. The public
sympathy with Mr.. Wheat was 80 great
that the case was never brought before
the court.
There are many prominent people in
this and other portions Of the State who
are descendants Of these two gentlemen,
whose lifetime friendship came TO such a
sudden and gloomy elimination.
Mr.Wheat afterward devoted this place

feet, practically fire proof, and lighted on
four sides. Three large elevators and
two spacious stairways give abundant
facilities Tor passengers and freight.
Messrs. Lord 81 Thomas will occupy the
entire third floor, giving them superb

This beautifully lighted room is unbroken

not the largest business Office Of any kind

The various departments are so ar

While the entire appointments are ele-

ApaIachicola's Hurricane,

Additional particulars have been re-
ceived of the hurricane at Apalachicola
June 80. The wind rose at 10 o'clock, and
by l p. m. had increased to 70 miles an
hour, the barometer reaching the lowest
on record. At 80 O'clock there came a
lull; then the wind. which had been from
the southeast, suddenly blew turiously
from the opposite direction. The air was
filled with flying shingles, timber and
branches OF trees. The business houses
were closed, and the citizens battened
their windows and doors. There was a
reign OF terror for six hours. Coombs Il
Co.'s mill lost both smoke stacks, and
part OF the roof. q. II. Smith
& Co. had lot of dressed lumber
blown away MunrOe Company's mill, at
the bluff, had the roof and smoke stack
blown off, and at Carrabelo many build
ings were leveled, while much timber
was carried away. On the river and III
the bay the disaster was extensive. S.
n. kimbalPs dredge was sunk, as was
also the steamer Emlen, belonging to
COombs 81 Co. She was down the bay,
and was swamped. Three men, Jesse
RaiEey, engineer; Abe Munro, cook, and
W alter johnson, deck hand, tried 80 save
themselves in the dingey, which capsized,
and the two first named were drowned.
The rest of the crew, the Captain and
three men, were rescued. At East Pass
the lighter California was made fast to
the bark Bigette. At Dog Island cove
the bark had out tour anchors, but
dragged ashore. The lighter was cut
loose and swamped. There were on board
Nicholas Comforter and son Willie, also
William Anderson and James Norman.
The lighter was found drifting that night
waterlogged and with no one on board at
all. The four were drowned as soon as
the Bigette grounded. She lost her
masts. She will be saved. The barken-
tine Alice Dickerman was dragged ashore
on Timber Island. The schooners Kate
f. Marse and Nantasket dragged also but
escaped.
Two men, Mcknight and Miner, were
on Sand Island when it was submerged.
They took refuge in the only tree on the
island, and remained there several hours.
st. Georges Island was swept by wind
and waves All the glass in the light
house was blown out and the tower badly
shaken. The keepers house was filled
with water and sand, and the family took
refuge In the gale house, built for pro-
lection in such cases. There were many
accidents to harbor craft. A number Of
small sailers capsIzed, and several tug
boats received damage. Many hair
breadth escapes are reported The storm
was the greatest one ever seen at Apa-
lachIcOla
