OUR SABBATH SCHOOL.

How the Star Of Zion can make 'our
Sunday school here second to thatl in
Salisbury is more than our people can
understand. They want credit for what
they do, and it is unfair for the Star to

school appear second to Salisbury when
we excelled it and all others this year, as
we always do The facts are: The Sab.
bath school in Salisbury raised on chill

collected in the school, The other $40
was raised by punch cards, envelopes,

through the city and country, added to
the church collections of that day.
Clinton Chapel Sabbath school in this
city raised in school $35 and the church
gave SIS, which made up the $50, and
there were no efforts outside of the
house or that day. In holding up the
school in Salisbury, the Star should not

JONES AND ROWLAND.

The campaign has opened and the
candidates for Congress are making
speeches, each endeavoring to persuade
the people to vote for him. In our dis
trict both the candidates belong to the
same political party and 1t may be that a
Republican will yet come out and give
us Republicans chance to vote. Ii no
Republican should come out we would
have to vote for either Jones or Rowland
or not vote for Congressman. 1t is
well, sometimes, when we cannot get our
choice, TO take the next best. Then the
question comes up: What is the differ
ence between Jones and Rowland? What
are we to gain by voting for either of
thems Then it becomes necessary for us
TO know the men. What is the record of
each, and what influence will control
them if elected?
In the next issue VIC expect to be able
to tell our readers whether they may ex-
poet to have Republican to vote for or
only Jones and Rowland to choose be-
tween. If only the latter, then we pro-
pose to have something to say on the
merits of these gentlemen. Our friends
in Arson, Union and Robson, who were
so anxious last week, will therefore
please wait till We come again and we
will try to tell them what we think they
ought to do in this case.

Mexican Vanity.

A Washington letter to the Boz
Traveller says: The Mexicans are an ig-
norant, bloodthirsty lot, who are never
SO happy as when in the midst of pillages,
robbery and bloodshed They are vain,
conceited people, and haze the most en-
larged ideas of their own prowess and
.valor. To illustrate this | will tell you
OF a certain incident which happened
only month or two ago. A Young
Mexican from the City of Mexico. who
is connected with the government, came
to Washington, after tour of nearly all
the prominent cities Of the country I
asked him what his impressions were of
our people. He said he was astonished
at the strides which the United States
had made in the civilization and the arts
lie spoke particularly of music Of
which he is very fond, aud said that
he had the good fortune to be present AZ
the concerts given by the famous Mexi.
Ian band In New York and Boston. The
audiences were evidently cultivated and
appreciatlvc, but he was particularly
struck with the fact that they applaadcd
in the right places. This he eonsidered
to DC a most remarkable fact, because. he
said, Mexico was two centuries in ad
vance oil this country. Now that man
was perfectly serious. lie meant every
word he said. You cannot get a Mexi,

It is not a little curious, says the
Lancet that the diseases arising from the
wrong use of tea should be met with IN
greater frequency in countries foreign to
its growth. The diseases due to this
cause are we'll known to doctors, but the
public seem to be strangely Indifferent
to the teachings of their medical advis-
ers in these matters. Recently in France
NJ. Eloy has reminded medical men how
vast is the number of diseases owing an
allegiance to the dominion of queen tea.
America and England are the two coun-
tries that are afflicted most with the
maladies arising from its excessive con-
sumption. individuals may suffer in a
variety of ways. 1t is customary to
speak of acute, subacute and chronic
'theism," form that has no connection
with theological matters. The pre-
dominance of nervous symptoms is q
characteristic of theism. General ex
element Of the functions of the nervous
system may be observed, or the weak
ness may be noted more especially in the
brain as distinguished from the spinal
cord. Perversion of the sense of hear
ing is not at all an uncommon symptom,
patients hearing voices that have no real
objective existence. The irritability
that overtakes women so frequently may
sometimes be clearly traced to an exces-
sive indulgence in afternoon tea. No
doubt the tannin which tea that has been
standing contains does great amount
of mischief; but theism belongs, rather,
to that class of diseases in which NOR
phinism, caffeism and vanillism are
found. The habit of tea-drinking is one
that grows on its victims like the similar
ones of opium or alcohol. Taken in
strict moderation and with due precau-
tions in the mode of preparation, tea is,
like alcohol, valuable stimulant in its
abuse there is also certain analogy

Choral and It's effects.

The action of choral hydrate is very
similar to that of opium, but it does not
lessen pain nor contract the pupils of the
eyes to the same extent. 1t does weaken
the action of the heart and lessen the
production of heat in the body to far
greater degree than opium. 1t induces
sleep in doses that are not dangerous,
and the unpleasant after effects of mod
crate doses of opium are avoided by its
use. The fatal dose is very large one.
Its taste and odor are alike unpleasant to
most people; hence the risks of acquir-
ing an appetite for it are not so great as
with the latter drug. The habit, once
formed, is much easier to give up than
that of opium eating. The treatment of
a case of choral poisoning is almost ex-
actly the same as for an overdose of
opium. One important fact to be re-
membered in such a case is to scrupu-
lousy avoid the loss of animal heat. Not
attending to this point has cost many
lives. The patient should be kept warm ;
the stomach must be emptied of its con-
tents, and stimulants should be given to
keep up the action of the heart until the
poison has chance to escape by the
lungs and kidneys.-S. Louis Globe
Democrat.

GA bio thief is never deserted by
friends. When he is in the hole he can
always raise money, and the amount IS
no object. Thousands of dollars would
be forthcoming in half an hours notice
to get Johnny Beaucleigh away from
Clayton. A peculiar thing about crooks
is that they are most often given away
by the women they associate with, the
betrayal generally arising from Jealousy.
MANY of them have nice wives and faml-
lies, and not seldom they live in neigh
borhoods ultra respectable, and their DIS
coycry startles those who associated with
them. Within the last ten years there
have been only one or two good JOBS
done in the city. A big sneak was made
ON the Office of the St. Louis Ore and
Smelling Company when they were pre-
pairing to pay their hands. The men
sneaked out box containing 81, 700 in
cash and got away. Quite clever
sneak, netting about Sc, 900, was worked
some years ago on the Biddle Market
Bank, and the men were not captured.
We know pretty well who did the job,
but we couldn't make case. They were
the last jobs of Importance. Since then
the kids have been doing all the crooked
work in the town. They are not very
fly, but if they were allowed to run they
would tear the town wide open in very
short order. The only thing that keeps
them down is keeping after them con
stantly. They are being constantly shown
up to the police, and their haunts are al
reported and watched. They are run il

BAD POLICY.

Some mischief makers are trying to
spring the issue of prohibition IN this
campaign No man with sense in
his head or honesty in his heart
would do anything of the kind.
We want no such issue and cannot afford
to have it now. We fought prohibition,
pure and simple, in June and are willing
to let it rest until next June, when it
will come on us again. We want to see
Democracy defeated, not because 1t IA
vors prohibition or because it opposes it,
but because of many other things, for
which we have fought them year after
year. If we are to make a Republican
light, 1t must be made with, by and for
Republicans. We want no bar room
caucuses, neither will we allow our peo-
pie to be led and dictated to by Demo
Gratis who have been our worst enemies
and now attempt to lead us through the
barroom to put themselves in power be-
cause they could not control the Demo-
cratic convention.
We are opposedto the Democratic
county ticket--not because it is SAID to
be prohibition, but because it was put
cut by Democratic convention. We
will not vote for it. We want Repub-
liean ticket-not a whiskey ticket-but
a ticket with good moral men on it who
believe IN and will support Republican
principles. We hope the men who are
attempting to shape our coursewill re-
member that there are more colored pro.
hibitionists in this town than there are
wniskey men. That Democrats are going
TO vote the Democratic ticket anu we
should make ours to suit ourselves and
the principles of our party.

A Return TO Knee Breaches.

The popularity of knee brooches marks
another of the transitions of fashion in
the last six months. Coming in first as a
mode of dress for the country, tennis,
bicycling, etc., it seems probable that
they may yet be worn as part of the full
dress of the ultra society swell. The ten
dency of fashion in upper swelldom is
toward more elaborate attire for even
ing dress, and it is tendency which is
rapidly taking shape. In full dress
shirts the most deliberately decorated are
the most stylish. and the straight up and
down collar is giving way to the long
rolling one. Inhandkerchiefs the Prince
of Wales has lately made fashionable the
brightest colors in red, blue and old
gold.
1t would not be surprising to see, sur
ing the coming winter, the introduction
of Knickerbockers, buckles, gaudy col
ored vests with gold buttons, and other
ways the prevalence of styles familiar to
us in the pictures of the swells of the
last century; and the change would GER
tainly be an agreeable one. Trousers are
not nearly as graceful as knee breeches,
and the latter would more distinctively
mark the difference between evening and
ordinary dress. Besides, it might give
fresh impetus to pedestrianism, most
healthful exercise, for no young man de-
sires to expose poorly developed calves.

There is 500, 900, 900 of the bonded
debt of the United States now subject
to call at the option of the govern
ment. There is $l0O,OOO,QOO in the
treasury with which to pay these
bonds. Just what plea the statesmen
can frame to Justify them in paying in
terest on these bonds any longer with
the money lying idle in the treasury,
is difficult to foresee. Voting for the
Blair bill would be poor excuse.
Take the burden of interest off the
people, relieve them from debt before
you begin to squander their money
on objects Of less Importance. The
money in the treasury was taken
from thepeople to defray the expenses
of the government, not to be used by
speculative politicians in bestowing
gifts foolishly at a heavy cost to the
taxpayer.

Spirit of the Farm: AS a rule when
you have anything to sell, sell it. 1t
is a bad plan to hold for bigger prices.
OF course there are exceptions, but
they are rare. The farmer who sells
as soon as the produce is ready will
in the long run realize as much or
more than he who holds for more.
No one can tell just when the prices.
of any article will advance, and then
there is the waste, a not inconsider-
able per cent, and the interest on the
money it will fetch, which amounts
to something, especially if the farmer
is in debt. If the latter is the case,
a not infrequent contingency, it puts
him in bad order with his creditors
to postpone the sale. They take up
an idea he is trying to defraud them
and often resort to extreme measures
to force a sale. Look at the ruling
prices for years and it will be seen
little is made by holding on.
