The Origin o1'ssO. H"

The St. Louis Globe. Democrat
has just started the foolish story that
the cabalistic sing, 20. K" has its
origin 10 a misrepresentation of Pres
ident Jackson, of whom it says that
he was in the habit of marking papers
in that manner that had been passed
upon and approved. 1t intimates
that he meant by that, that they
were "all korrect." Another paper,
a Kentucky Journal, traces the use
Of the expression back to the famous
Whin of 1910, and it is not unlike.
" that it was used then, but its
real origin goes back yet further to
the days when Old Keokuk, the
this only and original 20. f."
used to afix the initial letters of lis
name to Government treaties Of the
time when Black Hawk, his formi.
dable rival, was kicking over the
traces and trying to create a muss
by seeking to nullify every thing
that he did. The 20. K" was too
much, however, for Black Hawk
and even in that early day it quick
ly came to mean literally what it is
accepted as meaning to-day-that
it was in good form. We believe
that the best authorities are agreed
that this was true origin Of the term.

A Rather Stale Letter.

New YORK, Sept. 1.-THE Herald
says: "Mr. Harrison'sin the serious
letter of an honest man, who recog.
nize the necessity of giving a reason
for his candidacy, but sees the
difficulty of finding one adequate to
the occasion: who feels bound to
state the position Of his party, but
is perplcxed because the party
leaders do not agree with each
other"
"Mr. Harrison is evidently cram
ped by his unfortunate want of
material. His embarrassment forces
him to one statement which will
practically hamstring his letter aud
render it unless as a campaign doc.
ument, for. while he admits that the
Democratic action is right, he i'm
peaches the Democratic motive.
That is neither good reasoning nor
sound logic. 1t savors Of the
d%emagogue.
The letter is not strong it is
rather stale. No other Republican
could do better, though, than Mr..
Harrison has done. for the facts are
on the Democratic side, and facts
will tell ill the present canvass"

WOlmansS Relief

"Earth has no sorrow that heaven
a not heal" whether arising from
physical, mental or moral sources. The
promises and consultations of the gospel
furnish abundant remedies for all
spiritual or mental woes, and the Crea-
tor has stored, in the kingdom of Ma
ture, remedies for every physical all
ment. For ages these remedies were
allowed to lie dormant, through the
ignorance of mankind as to their uses,
and for ages more but little attention
was given to remedies for the peculiar
affections of woman, who was looked
upon and treated as a slave by lordly,
and then brutal man, and her suffering
regarded with beastly Indifference. In
later times, science and Christian phi
lanthrophy have come to her relief, de-
vising remedies for her peculiar weak
nesses, which have been combined in
DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription, a
remedy that cures the pains, aches,
nausea, displacements, wasting and de-
bilitating Affections to which she is
constantly exposed. "Favorite Pres
cription" is tee only medicine for wom-
en-, sold by druggists, under a positive
guarantee from the manufacturers, that
will give satisfaction in every case, or
money will be refunded. This guaran-
tee has been printed on the bottle
wrapper, and faithfully carried out for
many years.

"a Well Of Blood.o

A Birmingham lAla.) special to
the Picayune, dated September 9th,
gives a horrid account of a bloody
fray which occurred in the southern
part Of Alabama on the preceding
Thursday and Friday, the particu.
lars of which are as follows: \
mob Of negroes, incensed at a farmer
named Milburn, because he refused
to allow them to use his we'll, made
an attack with the bloody determin.
alton Of destroying the whole family.
Mr.. Milburn FIRST killed the negro
buck who demanded the use Of the
we'll, and who, on being refused,
rushed upon him with murderous
attempt. Then at night the mob
collected and ordered Milburn to
come out, which he refused to do,
when they fred upon the house, fill.
ing the doors and windows with
buckshot, the family saving them.
selves by crawling under the beds.
This was on Thursday night, and on
the next night MI. Milburn's friends
meted out swift justice to the COW.
ardly wretches by leaving seven of
the worst dead on the field and or.
dering several Others to leave the
country. The excitement is intense
and trouble is yet anticipated. though
the whites are arming themselves
and preparing for an attack, which
is the best way to prevent it. So
long as the ignorant Of any class
thinks that equality justi6es him in
demanding the unrestricted use Of
another mans property, so long will
there be trouble, whether the parties
be white or black; but the negro
ought to learn by bis universal de-.
feat that he is not yet, nor can he
ever expect to be, able to cope with
the white man.

Tennessee W. Louisiana.

The Rev. Robert Harry has just
returned from a trip to Western
Tennessee, and informs us that from
a farming, social, physical and scenic
standpoint, he would not give the
parish of Vermilion for that whole
section of country. He further
states that the farmers down here
have O bonanza in their farming
lands if they only knew it; and with
reference to hospitality and socia'
bility the old Pelican State is very
much in the van. He further states
that the coffee and inferior cooking
drove him back to the old home
sooner than he otherwise would
have come.
The same expressions have been
made by others who lett our beauti.
full cline to seek homes elsewhere
with a view of lettering their con.
dition. There is no mistake about
it, Louisiana has the soil and climate
suited to all kinds of industry, and
her almost iIlimitable resources are
attracting the attention Of capital.
lists and labor, and are worth the
attention of all. While thousands
OF laborers are at the point Of desti.
tuition at the North, Louisiana opens
its broad area to give cheap, free,
profitable homes, where wealth and
independence may be secured on
small capital. A capitalist will fud
here q safe and cure place to invest
his money in almost any branch Of
industry. The. farmer is sure of o
ine climate, rich land at a low figure,
with q market equal to any i'd the
United States And yet with all
the advantages offered in Louisiana,
it is something remarkably strange
that so many people remain in
cramped.up cities and densely popn.
lated districts in the East and Mid.
die States.
Probably they lack courage and
Information; if so, let them pluck up
courage, and shake the old dust Of
their feet, strike for pure air and
fresher and richer soil, and in ninety.
nine cases out Of every hundred
there will come success.

Old Maid I'm n Thunder Storm.

A thunder storm is feared as
much as a man by the old maids of
Mount Holly. N. J. Tue most of
them will walk half a mile to avoid
meeting a man at twilight, but when
they e a epeck in the sky that
looks like a cloud then their trou-
bles begin. As soon as a thunder

hair-pins, pull off their bustles, close
the shutters, run a table against
the door, drag a couple Of feather
beds out into the middle of the floor
and crawl in between them. There
they lie and moan until the clouds
roll by and wish to themselves that
