Suppose every body in the State
would say: 81 can get a New York
paper for less money than l have to
pay for the Richmond or Lynchburg
papers ;" then, we should have no
State papers. Suppose every body in
this section would say, 81 can get a
Richmond paper cheaper than / can
get local paper = then. we should
have no local papers. But, State pa
pers, and local papers are both nee
assary, and ought to be kept up. We
mention this because a certain gen
tleman, in conversation with Us the
other day, seemed to think that we
could compete with the Richmond
weekly papers. No local paper can
do that, and citizens of Danville and
surrounding country, ought not tc
grudge US a few cents more for the
Times than they have to pay for The
Big city weeklies. They are bosf
cheap enough for almost every one tf
take both.

Tobacco as Preventative Of Hog
Cholera.
[Chatham Home.l

DR.. ]. B. Burns assures us that to-
bacco is sure preventative of hog
cholera. He has not lost hog since
he began its use with his hogs FIVE
years ago. He takes the common leaf
tobacco, cruInbles it up, and gives
about half a tea-cup full to each hog.
He gives several doses of this at inter
walls of about week during the spring
None of his killing hogs have shown
any signs of worms or boils on the en-
trails. His neighbors' hogs have been
swept off with cholera while his have
remained perfectly healthy. The rem
edy is cheap and easily tried, and the
doctor is perfectly confident that he
has at last found specific.

As we Journey Let us Sing.
Fredericksburg Free Lance |

Domestic work and every kind of
manual labor is lightened when the
mind and heart are occupied with pur-
suits in which the hands can take no
part. The chambermaid who sings
about her work, the boot black who
whistles merrily between whiles as he
polishes the shoes Of passer-by, is
sure to succeed as the boy or girl never
can, the monotony of whose work is
never relieved by any diversion OF
thought from the daily routine of toll.

Nothing is more certain than that
human conduct produces its effect
upon human character and determines
;ts future veal or woe. Virtue and
uprightness give the pure heart and
clear conscience, whose workings is an
ample reward for effort and sacr'hce.
Vice and wrong inevitably leave their
marks on the soul and tend &c misery.
Retribution follows as the night the
day upon human action. Goodness
hath its reward sin bath It's punish

BLAoKmArLERs AGAIN.

An Alleged Special Constable Shows Q
 Badge and Attempts Co Extort Money
 From a New Haven man Who Was
 Riding With Another Man's Wife.
 From all reports it seems that the black mailer has begun his old dodge again. The facts were given ouS by Chief Bollman, but he refuses to disclose the name of the man on whom the scheme was tried to work
 On Monday night New Haven man who is married was out riding with young married woman. It was about o'clock in the even- ing and the two were riding leisurely along. They had just crossed the line into New Ha. ven on Goodrich street when man rushed forth from the bushes and stopped the horse. He jumped into the wagon, showed what looked like an officers shield and said he was going to arrest the two. The man renon- strated and the alleged officer gave him a whack with his billy.
 The blackmailer then began to talk busi- ness. He told the man he was married and had no business to be out with another mans wife. He insinuated that a money consider ation would settle the matter. But the man was not going to give up. He told the off. cer that he could drive to police headquarters and he would then make it hot for the officer This had the effect of soaring the alleged off cer and he jumped out of the wagon and was soon ont of sight. The police are looking af. ter the blackmailer and think they are on the right track

Rides About our CftY-Pieturesque
 and Romantic Drives in Every Df.
 rectfon-BY Sea and Shore - The
 Mammoth old oak at Double Beach
 Health Giving and Recreating.
 Pleasanter roads, air and scenery can no- where be found than about our city and vicinity. The Farnam and English drives to and over our East Rock and park are rarely equalled on this or the other side of the At lantic. Going by Whitney avenue, Orange or State street the ride is equally delightful. The mountain air on the way up and on the summit affords a healthful, invigorating change if only for an hour or two's drive. By taking in Whitneyville and Centerville or East Haven and the edge of North Branford the ride can be prolonged to the north, east or west.
 The ride to Short Beach and Double Beach by the recently opened lower road bordering the shore, returning over the Branford hills is very charming, varied and enjoyable. This new lower road is al- most darkly shaded with trees at the sides and is as wild and weird as the famous Woodbridge glen. The ride to and from by the three or four roads to and from Wood bridge, taking in the glen or the hills and dales of that beautiful region of Woodbridge and Bethany, affords wholesome, unalloyed pleasure. The Westville, West Haven, Savin Rock, Woodmont shore and inland roads af- ford never failing interest, health and de- light. On the little bluff of rock and lawn overlooking the water at Double Beach is an ancient oak, gnarled and spreading in the strangest oontortions upward and horizontal ly, covering space over 100 feet around. In size and striking proportions it exceeds the famous Wood bridge oak or the historic Charter oak of Hartford. It will repay visit just to see so ancient 8 memento of the past and pres- ent. The ride to Branford, Madison and shore places will repay the little cost of a drive. The new mown hay by it's fragrance adds much to one's enjoyment. The pastures, the woods, the lanes and the byroads, the pastures and the water furnish scenes which now in midsummer have all the freshness and beauty of spring time. If this serves to call attention to attractions so deserving the ob- ject of the visitor will be attained. The rec- reation is needed. S.

The BIrdsall Case.
Luck and mOney.

It would, of course, be difficult to exactly | estimate the amount by which Boston is made the richer each year because of the Louisiana State Lottery, but it can safely be l said that thousands upon thousands of dol I lars are annually distributed among it's cit- izens by this great financial institution. At
 the last drawing held in New Orleans, June 12, large number of Boston and New Eng- land people received prizes ranging from $5 to amounts up in the thousands. Two sepa- 1 rate portions of ticket numbered 49, ,566, which drew the third capital prize of $50, 900 were drawn by Bostonians. One part was held by resident on Batchelder street in the Highland District, whose name we are not at l liberty to publish, but who was seen by re- presentative of the Courier and found to be a drummer for one of the largest drug firms in New York. 'tYes it is true; I received the $2, 800" said the travelling man, 'tbut the money was not for me. The ticket belonged to 8 relitive and was given to me for collection.
 However, poor fellow, he needed the money
 much more than did and am glad he is go-
 ing to have it. He is e clerk in 8 hardware
 store, and as he has only salary of twelve
 dollars per week he has seen pretty hard
 times. His faith in the Louisiana Lottery
 has been marvellous. Every month for five
 years he has puchased @ ticket, believing that
 sooner or later the lightning would strike
 him. Yes, he has certainly got his money
 back. Twelve dollars year for five years
 would be sixty dollars. That deducted from
 $2,500 leaves just $2, 40 as clear profit I
 expect to draw $15, ,000 myself in 8 month or
 two and then l shall want you to come and
 interview me-" The other portion was held
 by well-known paint and oil merchant on
 India street, who when seen said the money
 had been received through the Maverick
 bank and placed where it was most needed. Boston (Mass.) Courier, July 8.

The detective disguised as a prisoner was Taylor's cell companion, and by prom ises of aid tried to gain his confidence and g confession. Taylor always asserted his in nocence and his certainty of acquittal. But the detective ssstill insisted, and said he was going out on bonds so he could gain some influence in his behalf. The scheme did not work, but the detective received about $1, ,OOO for his job.

A New Iron Bridge to Cost Half a Million Dollars. BIRMINGHAM, July 18.-The conference held here between Messrs. Bostwick and Starbuck, the millionaires and owners of railroads, results in the announcement that an iron bridge is to be built over the Housa- tonic between Birmingham and Shelton to carry the tracks of the Derby railroad and it's extension. For the present the spiles that have been driven will remain for hauling purposes. The first span of the bridge will be 150 feet wide with draw, and the second 300 feet wide, also with draw. The bridges over the Housatonic and at the crossing in Shelton will cost half million dollars. At present eight miles of the new railroad is graded, over which the steel rails are be- ing laid MT. Starbuek assured the reporter yesterday that the read would be opened for public business September 18th. Nothing could be elicited relative to the proposed road from Derby to Hartford.

 THREE SISTER CITIES.
 for an extension ot the Meriden and Wa terbury railroad company to that city, thus uniting the "three sister cities" It is said that the Meriden, Waterbury and Connecti- cut River road will run their trains to Middle town if certain facilities can be gained, and will bid for part of the western freight bus iness.S Their connection with the New Eng land system at Waterbury gives them a con- nection with the Erie road which, they hold, would allow them to successfully compete with the New York, New Haven and Hart ford railroad company. The scheme is gen. erally considered practicable
