Uncle Sammy Tilden's Joke.
From the New York Grgphic.

From the NeW York Grqphic.
Congressman Bayne's mistake in sending out
10000 of Mr.. McMilln's tariff speeches into
Pennsylvania instead of Mr.. McKinleys, as he
ordered, brings to mind similar error that was
made before the war 10y o Congressman from
the state of New York of the name Of Skinner
The latter was an ardent wing, and his support
ers in the district wore stanch haters of every
thing that was democratic. A gentleman,
speaking of this matter the other night. said
Il never saw the late Mr.. Tilden laugh more
heartily than whom he told O group of politi-
clans one day of the embarrassment and annoy
ance that the sending out of that red hot demo
cratic speech In q whig stronghold caused
Skinner. It was generally supposed that the
democrats put up a job on Skinner and Mr.
Tilden thought it one OF the most aggravating
political tricks that could have been played on
man. / can imagine l see the Sage of Grey
stone rubbing his hands and laughing as he told
of the remarks made by Skinner when he dis
covered that he had circulated democratic doc
trine In his district under his own frank. The
speech was a corkcr, and the wings who re-
ceived the speeches talked for years of the
meanness thai prompted such a trick. In those
days Ii was hard to counterfeit a thing of this
kind, as newspaper and telegraphic service were
poor compared with the facilities of the present
age 1t required month or two of labor to
correct misrepresentation or run down lie in
the old Wing days"

THE COBRA'S VENGEANCE.
A Deadly Snake Which Avenged the
Killing of It's Mate.
From the Homemord Maa.

From the HOmeuord MuiI.
Andrew Fischer, an employe OF the Madras
Railway Company, was seated in the veranda
of his bungalow and observed two largo cobras
on tbe barron plain Immediately in front of the
house. Aiming himself with stout stick he
proceeded to the spot and encountered the
snakes He succeeded in killing one of them,
while the other WHICH had been slightly
wounded. managed to escape.
Mr.. Fischer hunted about for the runaway
but could not find it. He then returned to his
bungalow and rested for soma time, as he was
off duty Later in the day he prepared to go to
his work, and with that object got out his
clothes to dress. He sat on his coat, and was
about to put on his shirt when hs felt some
thing bite him on the back. He turned round,
and to his horror found snake on the cot be-
hind him, which he is said to have recognized as
the cobra he had wounded that morning. He
Immediately sought medical relief, and all
kinds of remedies We're applied, but to no eff
feet, and he died in the evening.
1t is commonly believed among the Hindus
that no animal is more revengeful than the
cobra, and that If an attempt is made TO kill it
and it escapes, IL never gives itself rest until it
has wreaked its vengeance upon its assailant.

Aliens Descent Upon Chicago.

AlloH DSSC0nG, v pom chicago.
From the Chicago NewS.
There was an old man
And his name was Allen G.
And they thought he was dead
Long ago.
But he raised from his bed,
Looked around him and said,
I'm going to have time in
Chicago"
He crossed his own State
Amid shouts of Allen g.,
AS in years he had done
Long ago.
And in passing the tide
To the Michigan side
He asked them to hurry to
Chicago.
Then the North wind roare.
Through the hair of Allen G..
And the waves danced as they did
Long ago.
When he first blew his horn,
Ere most OF us were born,
And they headed him straight for
Chicago.
And now he is here,
Brave, honest Alien G.,
They'll wish that he'd died
Long ago.
Before he ever lets up
On the Republican pup
They'll wish he'd never come to
Chicago.

The movement TO make Mayor Hewitt
the democratic candidate for governor Of
New York was started few days ago by
the Herald, and it appears to be gathering
some strength. Hewitt's only chance for a
nomination, however, lies in Gov. Hills
refusal to run again. The Sun has an arti-
Gle in which it is limited that Gov. Hill,
having demonstrated his ability to wclk Off
with the nomination, will now leave the
track open TO other aspirants, and that Sec
rotary Whitney will very likely lead the
democratic hosts.

A Very Good Organization.

The movement to put the Citizens SAM
tary Association of this city into working
condition, and make it an aggressive organ
ization, is good one, and should be heart
ily encouraged The paper read by Dr.
LeHardy, and the remarks of DR.. Mum, at
the meeting Wednesday night, should re-
ceve the thoughtful attention of every one
interested in the welfare of Savannah.
The health record of Savannah is a good
one, and, as DR.. Num- pointed out, there is
no reason why she should not be about the
healthiest city in the country. There is a
good deal of sanitary work that might be
done, however, that would be highly bene-
fetal Drs LeHardy and Num- suggested
some of it, and the wisdom of their sugges-
tions must be apparent to all who will take
the trouble to inform themselves of the
matters to which they called attention.
great deal of drainage work has been
done in the vicinity of the city within the
last few years, and many improvements of
a sanitary character have been made That
the drainage and improvements have had
marvellous effect upon the general health of
the city no one doubts The thing now is

has shown to be the right one. Let the
Citizens Sanitary Association take the lead
and point out what ought to be done. Let
it be aggressive and persistent 1t cannot
fail to win public sentiment to its views
Having the support of the public, the au-
thor1ties will have to adopt and carry out
its suggestions.
Or. Num- called attention to one thing
that ought to pe attended to without I'M
necessary delay, viz, the need of an Inspector
of articles intended for food. He SAYS that
a great many articles which are unfit for
human consumption are disposed of in this
market to the colored people, who buy them
because they are cheap. The ordinance
against selling diseased meats and decaying
fish ard vegetables ought to be SO stringent
! that no one would dare to violate it, Let
us have such an ordinance at once, and lot
it be enforced vigorously.
There is need for just such an organiza-
ton as the Citizens Sanitary Association,
aud if those who are the moving spirits in
it are as much in earnest as they appear to
| be, they will make its influence felt.

Congressman Ermentrout, democratic
member from Pennsylvania, has been de
feated for denomination. His course in
coming over to the Mills bill created con-
siderable talk at the time. Mr.. Ermen-
trout is now serving his fourth term and
it has not been customary in his district to
give members more than three. One of the
points used against him with effect was that
a ilfth nomination would give him a sort of
mortgage on the Office. Congressman
Sowden, of the Allentown district who
was also defeated for denomination tho
other day, and whose constituents con-
demned his vote against the Mills bill,

SOUTHERN AGRICULTURAL
A Better System Needed.


My estimate Of the loss to the cotton
planters Of this county, caused by the
August storm, has not been lessened
In fact, If any difference, it is more
than fifty per cent, The very unfavor-
able weather that Immediately fol-
lowed the storm has brought the loss
fully up to that per cent. and perhaps
to greater one. Thousands Of
farmers, both large and small, will
certainly fail this fall ito make both
ends meet" The ''all cotton farmers"
are particularly worsted by this years
operations, and it should impress them
with the stubborn fact that their sys-
tenn Is wrong and will bring ruin upon
them.
The farmers Of the South must SOON
err or later recognize the fact that the
''all-cotton" system will bring them
down on an equal footing with tenants
and renters. They have, by that sui
cidal principle, exhausted three-fourths
OF their land and grown poor them
selves; yet in the face of this state Of
affairs why do they continue the pur-
snit of q system OF agricultural opera
tons that has already almost ruined
them, when there are other more in
viting and profitable ones staring them
squarely in the face, and right at their
doors, toop There is no money, but
ruin and WORKOUT soils in the "all-
cotton" system. / have questioned
many men in this section who are con-
sidered successful farmers, and who, it
was supposed, were making money by
raising cotton, and every one of them
replied: II am not making any money
at all out of my cotton crops"
So it Is with every farmer who raises
''all cotton" and has his smoke-house
and corn-crib in St. Louis, Cincinnati
or Chicago. Their smoke-houses and
cOrn-cribs are too far from home and
il takes too long to go to them and get
a feed of corn and oats for their horses
and bushel Of meal ''to last till next
Saturday evening" and bacon enough
for "dinner and supper" In fact it
costs altogether too much, and the ex-
perience of the last twenty-five years,
and the labor and advice COTTON up ex-
pressly for their benefit, it seems to
me, certainly ought to cause the South
ern farmers to change front and face
another point of the needle besides
that one which points to the object
have in view for writing.
Now, in conclusion, will some one
prevail upon Mr.. Geo. w. Truit, of
Troup County, Ga, to give his COM
plete system of farmingP As for my
self l have read just enough about it to
make me very anxious to read the
whole. can't get the idea as to how
he cultivates seventy-fve acres of cot
ton, besides his other crops, with only
two mules. Let us hear from Mr..
Truit, If you please, before next plant
