Nelson ii. Baker, district attorney,
Westchester county, y. T., Office at
White Plains, writes June 90, 1885 :
"Five years ago |, my two sons, and
wife were very liable to colds. We
wore the heaviest clothing, wrapping
ourselves up very warm but it was
colds, coughs, and catarrh all the time.
Finally We commenced wearing All
cocks Porous Plasters as chest-pro-
tectors. The first year we got rid Of
our heavy flannel as well as all coughs
and colds. We each wore two plasters
on the chest and pit Of the stomach for
three or four weeks at a time, then
washed the parts with alcohol and put
on fresh ones. They appeared to warm
and inyigorate the whole body so that
We never took cold"

Local Option.

To the Editor Of he DispaicR:
Whilst the question Of local option is
being agitated could not rigid enforce
ment of the Sunday liquor law to pre-
vent the sale of liquor on the Sabbath
be reached. One noticing the reports
of the Police Court on Mondays that
appear in Tuesdays papers would GER
tainly see as many cases Of conviction
for drunkenness ON that day as on any
other three days. The writer does not
wish to vote for prohibition, but he
wants the sale Of liquor on Sunday
stopped and the penalties for selling
liquors to minors rIgidly enforced.

SHAW IN THE SOUTH. cIc


The Charlotte On. c. Obscrrer says
"The safe-blower who shot Policeman
Brooks in Richmond was captured near
that city yesterday morning and is now
in prison. Circumstances have trans
pired that make it seem altogether
probable that this individual is the
same who blew open the safes at Con-
cord and Spartanburg, and if this is so,
it will be good news to some Of our
readers. 1t seems that on the day fol-
lowing the safe-blowing at Concord two
suspicious characters boarded the train
in this city and paid their fares to
Spartanburg. Captain Ed. Roseborough
was conductor Of the train, and was
struck by the suspicious actions Of the
men. One Of the pair, genteel-look-
ing fellow, with side-whiskers, took a
seat in the first-class car, but the other
one, a rough.looking customer, who
kept his hat pulled down over his eyes.
remained in the smoker. They got off
at Spartanburg that evening, and on
the following night a safe in that town
was blown open and robbed, and on
Captain Roseborough's return trip next
morning the same individuals boarded
his train, one taking the frst-class car
and the other the smoking-car, both
paying their fares as before. They got
of at Charlotte, and after remaining
here couple of days left for Richmond,
one in one car and one in another, and
each paying cash for their fares instead
Of buying tickets. The side-whiskered
man exactly fills the description of the
man captured in Richmond in dress,
statue, and personal appearance. There
is but little doubt that he is the same
man. His partner fled at the first in
dication Of danger, and made good his
escape from the Richmond officers"
WHAT SHAW SAYS.
About ten days ago Police-Justice
Richardson went to Charlotte to take
his wife, who has been in i'll health for
some time. lie returned a day or two
after Officer Brooks was shot. and
Shaw's preliminary examination on the
charge Of burglary was held before him
last Monday. After Shaw's case and
the others on the docket had been dis
posed Of Justice Richardson went to
the prisoners pen and had a converse
tion with Shaw. When first addressed
by the Justice the man did not seem TO
recognize his name, rather the one he
had given himself, and did not at first
lift his head.
During the conversation Justice Rich
ardson said;
Shaw, it seems to Inc that have
seen you before.
Shaw No, was never before you
before this time.
The Justice don't mean to say
that you have been before me on any
former occasion, but think have met
with you somewhere before. Didn't !
see you in Charlotte last week?
Shaw Charlotte, n. c.;
Justice: Yes.
Shaw No; it has been nearly two
months since | was in Charlotte.
The robberies referred to in the arti-
Gle above from the Obyerrer were com
mitted several weeks before Schmidt's
store was broken into.

Protecting Biaekbsrriss.

The Country Gentleman says: "Didercn,
kinds Of protection may bs employed. vary
ing with - severity of the winter and
with the hardness Of tho varieties When
the winters arc not very severe, merely
prostratinE the canes on the ground and
holding them with bricks or sticks of wood
placed upon them, may be sufficient; foy
colder winters, covering with evergreen
branches will suffice, making this covering
light or heavy, according to the degree Of
expected cold. A still more secure pro
lection is a covering Of few inches OF
earth. In order to enable the canes to lie
fat, cut 81 the side branches within an inch
or two OF the canes along on each side Of the
row, or on the two sides of tho bushes. Bend
them over at right angles with the row,
after the tops Of the canes have been cut of.
Before laying down loosen the earth with a
fork about the roots, cutting of such roots
as nay bs in the way, 80 that in prostrating
them The roots AMI not the cane, shall be
bent or broken II covered with ear.h re-
place tho canes next spring in an erect posi-
ton ~ soon a. the wea lher will admit"

Farmers Reading Clubs.

No farmer who is of any acco unit is idle
any part of the year nowadays, either win
ter or summer. But the labor in the cold
months is not SO sevsrs, and he will have
considerable tins nigh ami Sundays
II he is as wise as We think he is, he will
have como good reading to fill up this spare
time. and keep his boys and girls interested
at home
The largest and best variety of good read
ing can b secured by several neighbors club
bling together One may subscribe for one
ma gaxins or paper, another for another.
They may b. read turn about passing from
one t. another till they have gone among ALL.
Club rates for several publications together
may b secured advantageoasly for just this
purpose. The selections are often already
made up
Yipat Of all il. should be every mans duty
and pleasure to subscribe for his home paper.
The homo Paper should likewise be of such
character that it will be a profit to him to
subscribe for it. But after that there is still
q large field to choose from, and it should be
worked He should have gool sprinkling
of publications pertaining to his business.
Really intelligent farm families read more
than city people do.
Excellent farm books can be secured in
the same way, by each man or woman SUBJ
scribing small sum. The books would then
bs joint property and make foundation of
an excellent neighborhood library. Ten to
$25 will buy an excellent collection We
have given a list Of few of the most valu-
able agricultural publications We shall
add to ii for the benefit of neghborhood
libraries hereafter.
