BIaine's Reply.

AUGUSTA, Me-, Sept. 25.-The Kenne-
bee Journal, under the heading Mr..
Conkling and Mr.. Blaine, will tomorrow
publish such a response as Blame desires
to make to the recently published private
letter of Roscoe Conkling to his friend in
New York state. Blaine was asked by a
Kennebec Journal reporter If he had any
reply to make. and this was his response:
Nothing could induce me to enter
into a controversy over Conkling's grave.
During our joint service in congress, some
sixteen years In all, we had some exasper-
ating Controversies, but | never spoke
or wrote a line concerning him except
publicly, and now hat he is dead my lips
are sealed against every form of criticism
or unkind expression, no matter what
may be the imprudence or injustice of
any of his surviving friends"
Blaine said it was a great surprise to
him that such a letter should have been
written by Conkling. The date shows
that the letter was written Just six DAYS
after the close of the exasperatIng per
sonal debate with ConkIing and ii Conk-
ling had intended to say anything of the
kind he would have been apt to say it
then and not Immediately afterward in a
private letter, which was not given to the
public for twenty-five years. The whole
affair was not in accordance with Conk-
iing's habitual courage in debate.
Blaine was asked if he had anything to
say about the charge hat he had money
out of the recruiting funds in the war, and
he replied hat it might with equal truth
be charged that he had made money by
robbine the mails or by piracy on the high
seas. The recruiting scandal of Name in
the last year of the war had been %investi-
gated by two commissioners and one pub
lie commissioner, whose efforts, Blaine
said he aided, and there was, he says,
Not a word of evidence or even sugges
ton or hint, in any one of the three re-
ports that he had any more connection
with the matter than ad Conkling or
his unwise friend, who publishes this let
ter and attributes it to the dead states
man.

During the Siege of Paris.


A recent exhibition of French carica-
lures and comic drawings brought to the
public eye once more the evidences of the
fact that Partisan gayety was not to be
suppressed wen by the terrible siege that
the capital went through from the Ger
man army. One of these ~caricatures,
published during the siege, was made to
represent a fashion platei various elegant
ladies and gentlemen were pictured going
about wrapped in mattresses, and under.
meath the picture was the legend: Fash
ions for the bombardment season" Most
of these pleasantries of the siege turned
upon the scarcity of food-a grim subject
which seemed particularly inspiring to
the ca~ricaturist of the time. A servant
asks his master: "Shall l put the horses
in the carriage today, or in the barouche?''
HIM" says the master, signing, ''you
may put them in the oven, pleased" Not
unlike this is another ~caricature repre-.
senting a servant making the familiar an
nouncement to his mistress: ''The horses
are ready, madame" What" Yes,
madame-they are on the tablet" Such
~pleasantries seem scarcely to have been n
laughing matter to the people who went
through those fearful scenes, but the
Parisians must laugh at something, and
these pictures prove that they could not
think of stopping their gayety on account
of such a passing incident as a siege and
a famine.-The Argonaut.

Another wonderful discovery has been
made aud that too by a lady in this
country. Disease fastened its clutches
upon her and for seven years she with
stood its severest tests, but her vital Or
gans were undermined and death seemed
imminent. For three months she coughed
necessarily and could not sleep. She
bought of us a bottle Of DR.. Kings New
Discovery for Consumption and was so
much relieved on taking the first dose
that she slept all night and with one bot
tie has been miraculously cured. Her

Cider In tho n1etropolis.

l should imagine that cider had become
as popular a beverage in New York as it
is in Maine. Wherever l go in the hum
bier quarters of the town l come on cider
shops. They vend buttermilk and pop
beer, too, l believe, but cider Is certainly
their chief commodity, and I have never
seen q cider shop in which 1 did not also
see people drinking cider. Some fifteen
years ago a speculative individual opened
a cider shop in an Unbiased store on Broad
way. The beverage was advertised as
manufactured IN the premises, and in the
window of the shop was a miniature cider
press, which was operated by a miserable
big dog that toiled on a tread mill all day
and half the night through. believe Mr..
Henry Bergh put an end to this estab-
lishment and some others that sprang up
in imitation of it.
Since then the cider industry has evil
IDENTIFY settled on a legitimate basis. That
it has already enjoyed the developing in
fiuences of civilization is evidenced by the
fact that in one of the shops on the east
side where l dropped in to satisfy the
cravings of thirst and curiosity at one and
the same time, | read announcements of
'cider and milk" ''spieed cider, ''hot
mulled cider" and half a dozen other curl
GUS combinations. The champion combi-
nation of all. however, the immortal and
soul enthralling "stone fence" was, per
haps fortunately for the patrons, absent
from the list.-Alfred Trumble In New
York News.

ST. JAGo De CUBA, Sept. 25.-Yellow
fever reigns supreme in the city and at
the military hospital outside. A servant
of the American consulate has Just been

FL Pals, of hat city. one day reported
twenty four deaths. Both natives aud
foreigners have been swept away. The
epidemic has been sweeping the island
The terrific inroads made by yellow fever
may be gathered from the following:
Out of a full company of men all hui,
eight have been swept away in this city.
The island of Nassau, knowing the dan
gers, has declared a forty days quarantine
against the United States.

Yellow Fever Report

MEMPHIS, Sept. 25.-Tkere has been
great excitement all the afternoon over
the report of a case of yellow fever exist
ing in the city limits. The physicians in

the nature of the case, but will make a
s%tric.er examination in the morning. In
the meantime several of the faint hearted
the physician to be made tomorrow will
be awaited with eager interest by over
0 1000 people.
JACKSON, Miss, Sept. 25.-For the
past thirty six hours no new cases of vel
low fever have developed and no deaths
have occurred.
JACKSONVILLE, Sept. 25.-The situa-
ton here tonight is practically I'M
changed. except that the hopeful feeling
that the worst epidemic is over continues
rapidly. The type of disease appears to
be milder ever than before u e~duinoxial
storms, and while many people are sick
the death rate continues lower. The
official bulletin for the past twenty.four
hours report 143 new cases, of which
| eighty-ive are among the colored people.
Only four deaths are reported.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 25.-The post
Office department this afternoon received
a telegram from Atlanta, Ca, stating that
no trains are running between Memphis
and New Orleans except accommodation
trains, nom between New Orleans and
Wilson, La, nor between Greenwood and
Jackson; Jackson and Natchez; Meridian
and Shreveport; Meridian and New Or
leans; Cairo and Mobile; Aberdeen and
Durant; Selma and Meridian; Chattanooga
and Meridian, except a short train bet
ween Birmingham and Tuscaloosa.
Another dispatch says: No cases of
fever or deaths have occurred at Jackson
o -day, but this fact does not abate the ex-
element in the least. There are no trains
running between Selma and Meridian and
Montgomery and Akron.
The %fumigation of stations has been es-
tablished at Decatur. No station can be
placed now at Jackson, as '%neighboring
towns threaten that if mail or anything
else is fumigated or not and is taken on
at or near Jackson they will tear the track
and burn the bridges. Arrangements
had been made to establish a station at
jackson as soon as the excitement sub
sides. There are slight evidences of
a reaction of business. Business men
begin to feel the pressure and are com
mencing TO resist the mob element.

AMONG LAND SHARKS.
A Too Confding Citizen Fleeced
of $4,000.
A Neat Scheme Which Worked
Badly for the Victim.
Better Reports Coming from the
Fever Districts.
Sadder, but Wiser.

PITTsBURG, Sept. %. John K. Lemon,
an aged and respected citizen of ALE
gheny, was swindled out of $40, 900 this
afternoon by two bunco men. The old
gentleman was enticed into a house on
Pearl street and induced to play a game
in which it was alleged that he had won
$4,000. After this, however, it would
be necessary to produce a like amount.
The victim fell into the trap and went to
the Third National bank, where he drew
out the money. Returning, he placed it
on the table. He then took another
chance and was informed that he had lost
$50, DOC. He drew a revolver and de-
manded his money, when one of the
swindlers knocked the pistol out of his
hand and the two ran out, locking the
door after them. By the time Lemon
forced the door open both men had disap.
peared.

The appearance of the yellow
fever with marked virulence in Ems
terprise, Sanford, Baldwin and
other points in Florida at season
when sharp frosts have visited the
Carolinas and other Southern points
is bad omen for the future of FloriA
"a. 1t argues that the disease has
established a permanent foot-hold
IN that section, that it has become
endemic, and that at no season of
the year can there be absolute as
surance of immunity to the
visitor or the settler. The charm
of the "Land of Flowers" is dis
sipated. The romance Of its deli
cious balmv atmosphere, of its per.
ennial wealth of bloom, of its golden
orange groves, has rude overthrow
in the even present challenge cf
pestilence and death. n rude shock
is given to enterprise, and the gilded
fortunes that: awaited the hand of
indolent industry, luxurIously reach
ing forth for rewards wreathed
with flowers or geumed with fruits,
finds itself entaRgled in the rude
grasp of an enemy totally unex-
pected, and with a terror in its vi.
sage so fearful as to drive back in
alright all but those bold spirits
who, throughout all time have
traved, and will brave, all in the
search for gold. Fortunes will al
ways be sought in Florida; but
hardly ever again, health. II is n OF
an illusion that is dispeIled. The
life giving principle of Florida cli-
mate was really something to be
enjoyed, something to bring subs
stantial good.to the wen and to the
invalid.

..Ths Little Giant Of the Mountains

''The Little Giant of the Mountains
The Negro World, a newspaper
published and edited by negroes in
Knoxville, contains the following
hair~lifting statement:
"From a private letter from a gen.
tleman of Leicester, N. c., who is
acquainted with the politics of that
section states that the outlook for
republican success is encouraging,
especially in Buncombe county
where Hon. L. N. Wells is making
it so hot for the enemy that they
have been driven from the stump in
utter dismay. Mr.. Wells is the lit
tie giant of the mountains and the
hope of the republican party of that
section. We congratulate him upon
the success he is making in the can
vass."
We assure this colored brother,
and sympathizer of the "little giant
of the mountains" tnat at last ac-
counts Mr.. Tom Gambler was still
on the stump greatly to the "dis-
may" of the said giant.
