Rather Cheerful for the Doctor.

From the PtttS6urg Dispatch.
A country doctors life is not OVERLAND with
elder down nor eternally sprinkled with fresh
rose leaves.
A few weeks ago Dr. Blank was summoned at
midnight TO a house that stands some distance
from any other, in rural district near this city.
A stabl, hand had been kicked by n horse and
lay in a critical condition. The doctor flung on
his clothes, jumped into buggy and drove as
fast as he could through a rain storm over heavy
roads to the house where the injured man Law
He had never been to the house before but he
had heard of its owners prediction for savage
dogs, and he was not surprised therefore when
he drove up to the door to hear baying and
barking in several keys within the house
After considerable knocking a woman came
to the door and opened IL about an inch
to inform the doctor that he'd have to be very
careful about entering, for she could hardly
keep back the dogs
The doctor is plucky man, and he resisted
the strong desire he felt TO get back into his
buggy The door was opened enough for
him to slide through and he entered a dimly
lighted hall In front of him were arrayed two
large mastiffs, bulldog and greyhound and
between him and them stood the woman who
had let him in. She was the housekeeper and
she carried in one hand lamp and in the other
a thick cudgel.
AS he entered the hail all the dogs plunged
for him simultaneously, but the housekeeper
laid about her vigorously with the club aud the
animals retreated, bowling savagely. He went
upstairs at once to the room where his patient
lay, and the housckeeper fought with the dogs
all the way up, but succeeded in protecting the
doctor
Coming down afterward the housekeeper had
the same difficulty with the dogs and as the
doctor sprang into the carriage, the bulldog
made n rush for him and planted his teeth in
the doctors trousers. The garments were
luckily of cheap and poor material, and the leg
which was in the dogs mouth gave way
The doctor WINS glad to get off so cheaply, and
the bulldog, he thinks, was disguised at his in.
vestment OF an inferior grade Of cloth.
And the best of it is that tho operation he
performed at the risk OF being torn to pieces by
a pack of hounds will never bring a cent TO the
doctor. The miserly owner Of the dogs simply
declines TO pay, though the doctor was called
by his orders.

A Berlin Story.

The cablegrams contained the statement
that the widowed empress offered the
strongest kind of opposition to an autopsy
on the body of the dead emperor of Ger
many, but that her son, William H., disre-
garded her protests and entreaties and or
dered one. The result, of course, was Just
what was expected The emperor died
| from cancer of the throat. The physicians.
doubtless, from the beginning knew what
the disease was. They could not mistake
the sy mptoms. They were similar to those
in Gen. Grants case, and there never was
any doubt about the character of the dis
ease with which he was afflicted after it had
made a reasonable amount of progress.
But why was it that the public was kept
| in the dark about the nature of the Emperor
Fredericks diseased Sir Morel Mackenzie,
| the English physician, continually expressed
doubts about it, and the German physician
| who examined the tissue taken from the
emperor's throat declared that he could find
no trace of cancer.
This explanation is offered: The Prussian
constitution provides that no ono suffering
| from an incurable disease can succeed to
| the throne. Cancer is an incurable disease.
| If it had been admitted in March last that
| Frederick was suffering from that disease
| he could not have become emperor. Is this
explanation the correct one? Whether it is
or not it has obtained wide circulation.
| When Emperor William l. died the point
was raised whether Frederick could sue
coed him. 1t was not pressed, because the
doctors would not say that he was suffering
from cancer. There was a story that
| the English physician was called to
Germany by Frederick's wife for the pur-
pose of preventing a declaration of the
| true character of the disease. His reputa-
| ton as a specialist in throat diseases is
second to that of no other living physician,
and his opinion, therefore, had great weight.
| Frederick's wife had waited many years tc
reach the throne, and she did not intend to
miss it if it were possible to gain it. That,
at least, is the story that is told, and as her
ambition was laudable one the story is
| not improbable.
1t is asserted that the the legality OF some
of the dead emperor's acts may be ques-
| toned because of his alleged ineligibility
but it is probable that this is mere gossip
If it is desired to undo anything he did
during his brief reign, some other way than
questioning his eligibility will be found for
effecting the desired end. If the widowed
empress wish had been observed and no au-
topsy held, there would always have been
room for doubt about the character of the
disease from which the emperor died.

A movement is on foot to secure noise
less pavement in front of the club house on
Thirty-flfth street, New York, and the
World wants to know why such pavements
cannot be put down on all the streets. 1.-THE

tolerable life in the city, especially in the
summer, when the windows must be open.
No doubt the club men who are trying tc

front Of their residences when they come

When Col John r. Fellows was a candi-
date for district attorney of New York last
fall, no was the object of the most disrepu-
table newspaper attacks, but the people
stood by him and he was elected. He prob
ably should have been at his post the other
day when a jury was called to try certain
cases, but he explains his absence by saying
that it was his understanding with the
Judge that he would be away from New
York two weeks, and as soon as he knew he
was wanted he returned. A portion of the
New York press has taken occasion to at
tack him very vigorously on account of the
matter, but perhaps the people will again
sustain him. 1t seems that when the st.
Louis convention adjourned he paid visit
of few days to relatives in a distant state

The Uncertaintv About Blaine.

The difficulty of getting any wholly salts
factory information about Blaine and his
intentions respecting the Chicago nomina-
ton is remarkable, to say the least of it.
For weeks the country was in doubt
whether he was strong, healthy man, or
whether he was on the verge of the grave.
Statements relative to the condition of his
health, coming from different sources,
were contradictory. 1t is pretty well ascer-
tanned now, however, that he is not a sick
man, and that his prospects for good
many years of life are quite promising.
The thing which puzzles his party aud the
country now, however, is whether he will
accept the Chicago nomination if it is I'M
animously rendered to him after a sufficient
number of ballots have been taken to de-
monstrate to the satisfaction of about
everybody that no other entirely
satisfactory candidate can be agreed
upon. His two letters of with
drawal are not SO convincing in
delegates as to exclude him from the list of
candidates, and it is said that Gail Hamil-
ton, who is supposed to know more about his
wishes and intentions than anybody else, has
written letter to a member of the Missouri
delegation in which she says that while he
does not want the nomination, and that he
was sincere in what he said in his letters of
withdrawal, circumstances may arise under
which he will accept it. Mr.. Steven Elluns,
on the other hand, who managed the Blaine
campaign in 1884, says that no possible con-
tingency can arise in which he will accept
it. Here are conflicting statements from
sources which are entitled to respect, and
they are calculated to leave the convention
in doubt as to what course Mr.. Blaine
would pursue were the nomination offered
to him.
The way the delegates are scattered
among the different candidates looks very
much as If a master hand were directing
the course of events at Chicago, and direct
ing them toward Mr.. Blaine.

bill providing for a permanent exposition
of the three Americas, under the auspices
of the forty-six states and territories and
tho sixteen Independent nations of the
American continent, in honor of the 4O0th

If the bill passes, the President will be
authorized to appoint board of nine direc-
tors to formulate a plan for the proposed

The articles which now appear in tho
leading newspapers, describing the delights
of the various summer resorts of the
country, fill with pleasan mt anticipations the
souls of those fortunates who have the
means and the leisure to enjoy them, but to
the unfortunates who have to remain in
the hot cities the articles in question are
quite tantalizing. Is there no protection
for this class against such torturei As the
stay-at-homes are great deal more numer-
Gus than the pleasure-seekers, the question
seems TO be pertinent one.

before another amiable Philadelphian is
arrested on a charge of poisoning. This

coffee. A man who would substitute arse
mic for sugar in a cup of coffee ought to
stand very poor chance before a jury

WHAT JUDGE RUSSELL SAYS.

Judge Russell, in his letter to the
Republican party of North Carolina
declining place on the judicial ticket,
says:
Permit me also to say that think it would
be wise for our State ticket to withdraw in ia
vor of the Prohibition party. In 1881 our vote
was thrown to save the grog shops. You saw
ed them; but just what the party gained by it
has been difficult to discover that the best
thinkers among our leaders, who joined in that
coalition, now admit their mistake and regret
that the party vote was not given to the tenn
peranro people. Suppose we try it and
go in to stride at drunkenness and Democra-
cy?
Just so. The Judge is frank enough
to say that his party was the whiskey
party Of 1881. It is to-day. If it
coalesces with the Prohibition. ticket
it will not do it from principle but
simply to beat the Democrats. The
Judge admits that in his letter. Now
how do the Prohibitionists, who are
third party men from principle, like
the idea of joining forces with a crew
that says frankly eve don't care a
snap about prohibition as matter of
principle, we don't care for any
thing as matter of principle All
we are after is to beat the Democratic
party ?" How do the temperance Dem
octats like the idea of being beaten by
this party of sham. 1t is stealing
the livery of heaven in which to serve
the devil" Honest Prohibitionists
will not make SO unholy an alliance
and sensible Democrats will never be
foolish enough to vote the third party
ticket

OUR NEXT coNGRESsMAN.


With this issue we nail the name
of Col. James T. Morehead to the
masthead of the SENTINEL, never
to be taken down until glorious vic
tory and seat in the hall Of Con-
gress shall have eliminated the bril-
liant campaign he will make in this
district during the next four months.
He has the hearty and enthusiastic
support of the entire Democratic
party in this district. Although the
fight for nomination was strong and
long-continued, every delegate left
Greensboro feeling that Col. More
head had won it by fair, honorable
means. We voice the sentiments Of
Mr. Buxton, Forsyth county and
all of Mr.. Buxton's friends in other
counties when we say that there is
not one iota of hard feeling. On
the contrary, we are all for More
head. He is leader whose charac-
ter is above reproach and whose high
ability is recognized and admired.
Up this way we were all Buxton mer
before but now we are all More head
men and will bet our beavers and
bandannas that he will be elected to
Congress next time in the place of
that little fellow who happened to
be elected last time.
Democrats, the battle is now join
ed. 1t is Cleveland, Thurman,
Fowle and Morehead against Brer
Brewer and the radicals. 1t is low
taxes and honest government against
thieving tariff and villainous plum
der.
Now go to work. You have brave,
great, spotless leaders. You have
an issue in which every honest DEM
ocrat delights. You have been mis-
represented by a radical of small
ability and less worth. Now
pull up your sleeves and begin.
AS Hon. "Cy" Watson said at the
convention, "keep your fists sore
from now until November hitting
radicals" Let's elect Col. Morehead
by at least 5000 votes and redeem
our district from the radical disgrace
that has fallen upon it.
