SENATOR BLAIR.

Senator Blair is Of Scotch-Irish descent,
and his ancestors came from Londonderry,
ireland, and settled in Londonderry. y. II.
Blair was little rel headed boy, and he says
that he was much troubled when the boys
told him that he had evidently been ont in
the dew, for his hair had grown rusty. He
got an academic education and studied law.
lie had been practicipg only about a year
when the war broke out, and he served in the
Union army as lieutenant colonel After he
iett the army CT the close Of the war he he
ca:ae q member of his state legislature, and
be has been in politics pretty much of the
time since then. He Is noted as a high toned
moral statesman, who has q proverb for
every act OF his life. sni who hates whisky SIS
the devil hates holy water.
BLAIR is now $ Years old, and. rs he takes
good care OF himself, there is no reason why
be should not live to tine age Of Bancroft
His wife is the daughter of the chaplain Of
Frank Pierces Mexican War regiment, and
she is noted for her charitable work.
Blair can hold the floor longer than any
other rnan in the senate. ana ne talks at
times as though his tongue was run BY per-
petual motion machine.
The most of the senator's are long speakers
and not few of them are very prcsy ones
They drune out their words in sing song
tones, and their ora;ions read better than
they sound believe that oratory is on the
decline in the United States senate. and the
conversational tone is h,ins more and more
adopted year after year.
A m1l who figures very often in tho con-
eressional record is Senator Morgan. Of Ala
hama. who has a wiie fund Of information
on almost every subject. and who is seldom
aveTse To giving his views to the public. Nor
gan is tall, straight and fine looking. His
face is a bold, open one, and his hair is of
silver. He has silrery mustache and
white eyebrows, and he generally talks in
specs. He is Just ten years older than Blair,
and he is q Tennessean by birth. He entered
the Confederate army as a private and came
out a brigadier general, and he is good law
yer ns well as a statesman. He is a dyed in
the-wool Democrat. and doubt not that he
thinks at heart that his party ought TO have
the Offices He stands well at the White
House, and he is generally looked upon as
man Of both brains and influence He lives
near the Capitol. and what he cannot tell you
about Alabama is hardly worth knowing
He is not 50 rich q man as Pugh, who lives IN

DEATH OF ENnIAU.CLosE.

Miss EMMA IL. CLOSE died at S:l5 yes
terday evening. She had been sick just
one week, and since Saturday evening
her gentle spirit had been lowering on
the border land of Immortality. Her
disease was typhoid pneumonia An that
the most loving and watchful care and
skill could do was used TO save her, but
of a not very strong physical Organiza-
ton, she was unequal to the struggle with
that dread disease.
Emma was a daughter of John Close,
Sr. Her mother died when she was
child, and her father when she was Just
budding into young wOmanhOOd. The
farm about one mile North OF town was
disposed of, and the children came TO
town. Emma and her sister LOrain Ell
gagged in dress making, and prospered.
The three sisters have been patterns of
excellence, but Emma had the greatest
capacity for business, and was the real
head of the household. She was young
woman of energy and tact, and amiable
in the highest degree The universal
anxiety about her condition since Satur-
day, and at her death the tears and sobs
of those who knew her best, illustrate the
esteem in which she was held \ charm
ing family circle is broken, and much
time will be required to heal the wounds
of relatives and friends.
Funeral sevices will be held at the NJ. !
f. Church tomorrow Friday) at p
o'clock.

a DOUBLY GOOD WORK.

All people who eat are indebted to the
Royal Baking Powder Company not
more for having perfected and prepared
a leavening agent that is pure and whole
some beyond question than for its ex-
posures, so boldly made, of the numer-
Gus impure, adulterated and injurious ar
ticleS that are sold under the name of
baking powders, bread preparations, etc,
in this community. In making these
exposures the Company has, of course,
made itself the target for all sorts of
counter attacks, but the animus of these
attacks has been perfectly understood by
the general public, and by their very
virulence have served to more promi-
nently call attention to the good work of
the Royal Company.
Food frauds of the usual class, such
as wooden nutmegs, chicory coffee and
watered milk, although they are swim
dies in a commercial sense, are often toll
Grated because they do not particularly
affect the health of the consumer But
when an article like baking powder, that
is relied upon for the healthfuI prepara-
tion of almost every meal, is so made as
to carry highly injurious if not rankly
poisonous elements into our daily food,
it would seem to be the duty of the press
as well as of the criminal authorities to
take cOgniZance of it.
In the fight for pure food made by the
Royal Company some time ago, when
its guns were particularly trained against
the alum baking powders, it was noticed
that the most trustworthy scientific au-
thorities were emphatically upon its side.
So in the recent contest with the lime
and other impure baking powders the
result has proved that every statement
made by the Royal Baking Powder Com
pany, both as to the purity of its own
and the adulteration of other baking |
powders of the market, was fully author
lied by the most competent chemical and
medical authorities of the country.
In this contest two facts have been
pretty concluSively settled in the minds
of the public-the first, that the Royal
Company has found the means, and uses
them, to make chemically pure article
of food, md the other that the average
baking powder, no matter how strongly
endorsed by 'commerciar' chemists, is
an exceedingly doubtful preparation.
Pure baking powders are one of the
chief aids to the cook in preparing per
feet and wholesome food. The recent
in the press has left it no
onger question with those who desire
purity and wholesomeness of food what
baking powder they shall use.

Mr. DELANo writes on the carpet-woOl
question as follows:


mt. VERNON, O., Jan. 3, 1888.
." In my opinion the United States
should produce all the woods used here
| for carpets, if not at once, at least very
soon The opinion prevalent in some
places that this is not practicable, is er-
roneous. We have extensive regions in
different localities well adapted to this
pursuit The low price of cattle leaves
for some of our grazing lands nothing
profitable, unless it be the production of
wool and mutton.
"These Territories are not all so well
adapted to growing the fine woods as they
are to the production of carpet woods.
West of the Mississippi this fact is bet
ter understood and more generally con-
ceded than formerly. Sheep under prop
er conditions are adapted by nature to
the production of every variety of wool.
The fleece can be changed by intelligent
| breeding from fine to coarse, from long
to short staple, or in any other manner
desired with facility and rapidity not
generally understood. 1t is safe to say
that when 0ur- producers understand
what quality and variety of wool is re-
quired, they have the means and the ca
pacity to produce it, if they are not
crushed by importations of foreign woods.
"If carpet woods of any kind are ad-
mitted free it will, | am sure, be impos-
Sible to confine their use to carpet pur-
poses. The law will be evaded. Its
construction will facilitate evasions, so
that woods thus imported will be freely
used for other purposes.
''The effort to allow any so-called car
pet wool to be imported free is therefore,
in my opinion, unnecessary, very dan
gerous and impracticable.
"I think free carpet woods will not, in
the end, benefit manufacturers or con-
sumerS.
"At first prices may decline, and thus
destroy domestic production and compe-
titiOn. After this the importer will con-
troll the market and regulate the price,
for the manufacturer will be at his
mercy; and our own people will not
again attempt production without the
assurance of protection by friendly legis-
lation. L am respectfully, &c,
c. DELANO."

A NOVEL BUSINESS CALENDAR
AND STAND.

By far the most novel, convenient, and
valuable business calendar for 1888 is the
Columbia Bicycle Calendar and Stand,
just issued by the Pope Manufacturing
Company, of Boston, Mass. The calen-
dar proper is in the form of pad, con-
tanning 366 leaves, one for each day in
the year, to be torn off daily. The leaves
are 51s by 2A inches, and a portion of
each leaf is left blank for memoranda, so
arranged that the memorandum blank
for any coming day can be turned to i'm
mediately at any time. The pad rests
upon portable stand, which takes up
little more room than the pad itself, and
when placed upon the desk or writing
table the entire surface of the date left
is brought directly, and left constantly,
before the eye, furnishing date and mem
oranda, impossible to be overlooked. Be
sides the month, the day of the month,
and the day of the week, the numbers of
the days of the year passed and to come
are specified.

THIER BUSINESS BOOMING.

Probably no one thing has caused such
a general revival of trade at PattersOns'
drug store as their giving away to their
customers of so many free trial bottles of

this very valuable article, from the fact
that it always cures and never disap-
points. Coughs, colds. asthma, bron-

fore buying by getting trial bottle free,
