OBITUARY.

Died, near Cedar Hill, Fla, May
2Sth, 1886, of brain fever, Mrs. Sallie
Orr Lindley (nec Torian), formerly
of Christian county, aged Is years, II
months and 20 days. She was mar
rled to VIM. e. Lindley in Florida,
April Goth, 1886, and in the beginning
of their united happiness the tyranl
death claimed her when only one
month and eight days Of welded life
had blessed their home. The attack
of illness that terminated her young
wifehood and life, was SO sudden
and violent that little was said by
her that could be treasured for future
comfort to the stricken hearts of her
young husband and kindred; fire.
quently did she attempt to speak to
her husband, but could not, except to
assure him that "My spirit will con-
tinue with you as long as you live;%
thus closed her young life and sotfalls
a shadow upon the heart of him who
won her girl heart and loved her as
his own. Her remains were brought
by her husband to Christian county,
Ky, and buried in the family ceme-
terry, a large concourse of sympathiz-
ing friends were present to offer their
kind words of comfort to the bereav-
ed and while the soft June showers
were falling we laid her down to rest,
10 await thevoice of him who shall
bid the dead arise and then with her
whom we weep for. May the strick-
ell husband and loved ones enjoy
meeting amid the glories of a blessed
Immortality. A mother some years
in Heaven enjoys the companionship
of her child, and both mother and
daughter await the coming of hus-
band, father and sons. May the be-
reayed father and brothers of deceas-
ed yield to the double attraction 10
the skies and all be finally saved.

Louisville Tobacco Market.
by Glover & Durrett. /

The sales on our market for the week
just closed amounted to 1920 hhds
with receipts OF 1870 hhds. for the
same period. We have had firmer
market on dark tobacco during the
week but no material advance has
occurred. The offerings are now ap-
pearing in better condition and the
general range Of prices naturally ap.
pear better. From the best informa.
ton we can get, we are of the opin-
ion that the planting has been about
finished in the dark section of the
State, and an average crop has been
put on the hill. Sales on our mar
ket since Jan. LIST, GA, 400 hhds. The
following quotations fairly represent
our market for new dark tobacco.

Beer Authorizations.

The New York Mail and ErpreS.
has been at work among the breweriel
to ascertain the composition and char
acter of the beer that good many PEG
pie drink in the metropolis, and it hndi
that much of the stuff is not lager beei
at all, but a compound which contains
one or more of such ingredients az
quassia, aloes and nux vomica, ane
very little of hops. 1t has interviewed
a number of physicians on the effect OF
drinking such compounds, and findI
them generally agreed that the drink
ing of beer tends to disease more di.
rectly than the drinking of liquors.
They found among their patients who
used beer habitually a general relaxa-
ton of the system and degeneration
OF vital power, and among the more
specific effects a marked tendency td
Bright's disease.
1t might be pertinent to ask, in this
connection, how many people fifty
years of age ever heard of Bright dis.
ease twenty or thirty years ago? II
was an almost unknown ailment then;
now it is quite common aflliction and
q terribly painful one, with results
almost invariably fatal. 1t is true thai
people have it who do not drink beer,
but there can still be no doubt that
habitual use of impure beer is respon-
sible for the rapid multiplication OF
kidney difficulties since brewers learned
the art of cheap adulteration. The
Mail and Express says there are a num-
Der of stores in New York that keen
brewers supplies" some of which
undoubtedly go into beer. Some OF
them are to give it the bitter taste, some
to make it foam, and some to age il
artificially but all are harmful and in
the end destructive Kingston On. "

a NUBIAN TOWN,
Interesting Facts Concerning the Famous
City of Berber.

City OF BerDer.
About half way between Dongola and
Khartoum is Berber, town built of sun
dried bricks on gravelly sterile spot
on the east bank, but with strip of
ground between it and the river laid
out in gardens of date, orange, lemon,
pomegranate and other fruit trees.
The houses, even of the better class,
have not much furniture. There is a
bed-frame, with strips of buffalo-hide
stretched across it, on which are laid
neatly made mats, so that it forms a
seat in the daytime. Round the walls
hang wooden bowls of various sizes,
which are used instead of crockery;
but sometimes one or two of our willow
pattern plates may also be seen: and in
these the hostess will take great pride.
She has also great stores of vessels in
the shape of urns, manufactured by
herself of mixture of clay and other
materials; and when she leaves home
she plasters them up in a peculiar way
so that she can tell if they have been
opened during her absence. The
kitchen is separate, and in it there is a
stone mill for grinding corn, and three
large stones forming a fireplace. The
Nubian woman's dress is piece of
dark-blue calico wrapped around her
waist and coming half way down to
her ankles, her head and the upper
part of her body being covered by a
white muslin scarf with red border,
which can be drawn across the face.
Her hair is sometimes gummed into a
bushy circle, at others hangs down in
thick masses of innumerable plaits: and
necklaces of agate and amber beads,
coral bracelets, silver and coral rings,
earrings and massive anklets complete
the costume. Interior.

THE LONDON POLICE.
How the Famous Metropolitan Poll,
Force Is Governed.

How the Famous metropolitan Police
Force Is Governed.
There are two varieties of the Lon
don police. The city of London proper
is in area about the size of Washington
Qeaving out the southeast division of
the National capital.) The police in
this section, called the City Police, ARE
in charge of Commissioner with the
military rank of Lieutenant Colonel in
the army ellis office is at 26 Old
Jewry-called thus because it is the
part of the city that was the Jewish
quarter under King Charles II The
salary of this official is $4,000 year,
and he has under him one chief, one
head of detectives, twelve inspectors of
the equivalent to the American captain,
fourteen sergeants of the first class
whom we would call lieutenants-six-
ty-eight sergeants and 804 men.
The Metropolitan Police of London,
which controls practically city thirty
miles long and fifteen miles wide, is
small army corps. 1t grew into its
present magnitude under Sir Richard
Mayne, who died few years ago. The
head of this force is Colonel Sir Ed
mund Henderson, X. G.. B., Royal En-
gineers, and beside his pay as an Off
Ger of the English army, he receives
$4,000 year as Commissioner of Po-
lice. He has under him three Assistant
Commissioners, Lieutenant Colonies in
the army, who receive $1,000 year.
These officials are appointed by the
Home Secretary in the Cabinet and
the places are held to be very desira-
BILE. The force proper consists of a
superintendent, with twenty-four as
sistants holding the correlative rank of
Major, 626 inspectors Captains of pre-
cincts), 1,13O sergeants and about H.
600 men rank and file, with battalion
mounted about 800 strong. The pay
of London policeman is about $40 per
month in our money Washington

A Diplomatic Peddler's Ingenious Way OF
Treating Ladies.
He had back-load of feather-dusters
as he rang the door-bell on Montcalm
street east yesterday, and when a
woman opened the door about two
inches and said that nothing was wanted
he inquired:
Madam, will you kindly inform me
who lives next doorp"
Next door?" she queried, coming
out on the step. "Why, it's new
family and l don't remember the
name"

doesn't shep"
Rather"
Il thought so. That's the way with
those sort of people; they put it all on
their backs | asked her if she didn't
want buster to dust off her upholstered
furniture and bric-a-brac, and she
slammed the door in my face. She
didn't have any to dust, you see. People
who have plush furniture and articles
of virtu and taste always want my
goods. Pleasant day, MADAME
"Y-e-s. What did you say the price

"Seventy-fve cents, madam, and the
woman next door is peering through
the parlor blinds at us.

there should be any other invention to

might call around. You may also

A Durable Substance.

Cork leather, as produced in France,
is claimed to possess some special adj
vantages as compared with the natural
skins. In its production thin sheets or
pieces of cork are covered on both
sides with an extremely thin india-rub-
Der skin, with any ordinary textile
fabric outside of all, the whole becom-
ing thus sort of homogeneous texture
or tissue; and although the cork sheets,
in their normal state, are readily per-
meable by water, friable and brittle,
and possessed of very little strength or
cohesion, having only the positive quail
tiles of lightness and non-conduction of
heat, yet, when subjected to the treat
ment in question, the product is very
supple, and exhibits great strength in
resisting tensile strain. While also
still retaining its comparative hghtness
and impenetrability to heat, it is rem
dered both waterproof and impermea-
Bile to moisture. The external appear
ance of the material varies according
to the nature of the textile substance
used in combination with the cork.--N
