BRIGHT BITS.

YOUNG Dr.. CAPSULE is one of the latest, If not
most valuable additions to Savannah's medical
practitioners.
Inc other day he was called to treat patient,
who happened to be a child, in very weak and
exhausted condition. Having thoroughly dag
nosed the case he sent to Mortar and Pestle s,
from whence the messenger soon returned with
both hands filed with neatly put up packages.

Did He Do Wronp2

The New York Sun says that the Presl-
dent did wrong in permitting the river and
harbor bill to become law without his
signature. He ought, the Sun thinks, to
have vetoed the bill, and written message
to congress pointing out the items to which
he Of jected. He should not have permitted
the bill to become a law if it contained APP
preparations which he could not conscien-
tiously approve.
II the Sun were not always condemning
the river and harbor bill, its criticism of the
Presidents course might have some weight;
but i'll view of the fact that it takes it for
granted that the bill is Job" what it
says either about the bill, or the Presidents
refusal to sign it, will not command great
deal of attention.
The Presidents reasons for not signing it
are very good ones. He believed the bill to
be good one in the main, but there were
few items in it which he did not approve.
lie did not think, however, that he should
take the risk of preventing any appropria-
tions this year for rivers aud harbors by
vetoing it, In other words, he thought he
would do far more harm by using his veto
ECNci ny NlbuubNilHB MS biShdbuic
He couldn't conscientiously sign the bill,
and he couldn't consciontiously veto it. He
therefore took the only course left open TO
him.
The bill appropriates something over
s20,0O0.000 If a bill appropriating $10,-
900, 600 had been passed last year, and al
other of $40, DOC, 00d this year, nobody would
have said that the appropriations for rivers
and harbors were extravagant. The pres
ent bill carries appropriationsfo for two years,
and because the amount is 800, 0O0, 600, those
who always make an outcry against the
river and harbor bill, condemn it in un-
measured terms, and insist that the
country will not stand such extravaganza.
Are these critics sincerel Have they not a
purpose in their UNJUST criticisms which
they carefully keep in the backgrounds
Why do they not FIR ankly say that there
was no appropriation last year for rivers
and harbors, and that the commerce of
many of the ports is suffering because
work on their harbor improvements has
been suffering for many monthss If they
were to state the whole case, the side of
it which they advocate wouldn't appeal
very strongly to the Judgment of the peo-
pie. The country, In November, will not
say that the President did wrong.

The Lake Flowed by Ball of Fire.
From the Hartford Times

A most singular scene was witnessed on Long
Lake during Saturdays storm. The lake Il
three miles long, and is divided into three bays.
About 3:l5 O'Clock vivid flash of lightning
lighted up the scenery, followed by terrific
peal of thunder. The wind by this time was
blowing with cyclunic force Suddenly there
came roar. and far down the lake a huge flame
of fire could be seen. The water for yards
ahead was parted as though by a gigantic pillow,
and the pillows seemed to rise at the side of tins
furrow for fully 20 feet. The ball of fire an
peared to force the water aside and so deem did
It 20 that the bottom of the lake could almost
be seen as it passed through the narrows. The
parted waters, with their singular propeller.
advanced toward the head of the lake with
great rapidity. When within 100 yards of the
shore there came another flash of lightning and
the fire disappeared as suddenly as it had come
The residents along the lake who witnessed
this strange phenomenon were greatly alarmed
They insist that the ball of fire was fully 10 feet
long, and half of the mass appeared to be
buried in the waters of the lake. 1t was many
hours before the waters of the lake became
calm.

Quoting our business.

To a Faint Heart.
Elrom the Chicnno Inter.Ooen.

From the Chicago Inter Ocean.
All faint heart, dost find the fray
Growing 1ercer day by day
Thicker wages on the woe
Till thou knowst not friend or foe?
Fast glittering weapons rise
New and sharp before thine eyes,
And a new and deeper pain
Strikes in sharply and again,
Till thou crieSt, there is no place
Left in my heart strike in the face!
Yet faint not, nor lay aside
Yet thy weapon; brayely hide,
Facing all thy bitter foe
Till life's currents falteriug flow.
CourageI there are yet with thee
Powers unseen that finite be.
Love and faith, and courage bright
That can ne'er be put to flight.
Great examples-ieading on
TIL the victor'S goal is won
Grand endurance-bidding thee
Stand, nor ever dare to flee
These will flock if thou dost fall,
Claim thee comrade, one and all.
Then, though mangled, torn with woe,
Sweetest victory shalt thou know,
Scanned and battered though thou art,
Scars are laurels of the heart,
The hurts that heal, by warriors worn;
But triumphs are the deep hurts Borne
Victory, God-like and sure,
Comes to those who will endure.

OF the leading papers of the country call
upon Chairman Brice to wake up, and to
wage an aggressive war. Probably this
dissatisfaction is caused by the demonstra-
ton in honor of Mr.. Blaine. 1t must be
borne in mind, however, that the election
does not occur until November. The ex-
citernent caused by Blaines return will die

Caught Out Again.

From the Philadelphia Record (Deas.)
Mr.. Carnegie has not given his friend Blaine
all the instruction on the labor question that he
should have done during his late coaching trip.
1t would be impossible for Mr.. Blaine to stand
up before Mr.. Carnegie's workngmen and tell
them that ''the wages Of the American laborer
connot be reduced except with the consent and
the votes of the American laborer himself" as
New York. Mr. Carnegie has an effective plan
of reducing the wages of the American laborer
without asking his consent, and the American
laborer knows it to his sorrow.

By coming to the defense of the two
houses of congress, the New York Tribune
shows its fear lest the people should ap-
prove Mr.. Cleveland's course with regard
to pension veUoes. Its defense, however, is
exceedingly weak. 1t says: 1.-THE pension
committees of both houses are supposed to
examine all these cases with care and
when their conclusions are reported, what
is more natural than that the two houses
should accept them as a matter of coursep
The two houses have certainly found out by
this time that. whatever they may be sup
posed to do, the pension committees do not
Examine all these cases with care"-in
fact, that they do not examine some of them
at all As the committees fail to do their
duty, and as congress does no better, it will
occur to the people that it is fortunate that
there is a man in the white house who
knows and performs his.

earthquakes between these dates, if storms
