A Black and UncalIed.for Slander.

AS specimen of campaign literature
the following editorial from an East
Tennessee paper is worth reading: "The
enemies of Captain George Hicks, our
most prominent candidate for Sheriff,
maliciously assert that he is q Prohibi.
ZIONIST. This is the blackest and most
uncalled for slander of the campaign.
We have known the Captain for several
years, and have positive proof that he is
not a Prohibitionist, and in proof of this
assertion-which we do not make without
mature deliheratiop-we submit the
following facts "On the night of May 10
tbs Captain got so drunk over at Frazier's
Point that he had to be taken home in q
wagon. The next day, in the presence
Of some of our most prominent citizens
be Was seen to drink q cocktail. -Four
days later he got drunk at Miller's Land
ing and fell into the river. This cannot
be successfully disputed, for the feat was
witnessed by the County Judge and q
number of our most prominent citizens.
Since then the Captain has been aliberal
drinKer, and we dare any black hearted
scoundrel in this County to come forward
and attempt a refutation of these facts.
We do not object to open and manly
opposition but We despise the sneaking
and underhanded way employed BY
certain disreputable politicians OF this
community"

fishing next day, but nearly everybody
had thought about it, and the opinion
had even been expressed that it would
be pity to lose a day, the very day when
fish bite best. Suddenly the President
leaned back in his chair, knocked tha
ashes off his cigar, and said in his delibf
crate way of talking:
"Now, gentlemen, what shall we do

don't fish Sundays myself. I was

any of you want to fish tomorrow I'llgo
ashore in the gig in the morning And
join you again Monday, bright and e4rly.

his interest in the welfare of the agricul.

It was he who said, propnetically,
eighteen years ago in an address before

SAN FRANCISCO, CAL, August 12.-
The Steamer City of Sidney, which arriv.
ed this evening, from Hong Kong and
Yokohama, brings through the Japanese
journals the particulars of the
volcanic eruption of Bandai bank on the
fifteenth of July. The details of the
catastrophe came in somewhat despoil-
ed form. The Choya Shimbkn dispatch.
ed special reporter to the scene.
According to his account the villages
surrounding Bandai heard the strange
rumbling sounds and felt the shocks of
the earthquake from 18th. These phe.
nomena continued intermittently for two
days aud nights, but not being attended
by any serious result no great disquiet was
felt. On the morning of the 18th, a.
about s O'Clock, smaller Bandai San
trembled and roared violently. Imme-
diately afterwards ashes began to fall,
the sky suddenly grew dark and the
rumbling sounds continued, accompanied
by violent earthquake and flare of daz-
zliug fame. The crest, ofthe smaller
Bandi San appeared to be lifted bodily
upwards and then to fall again with a
tremendous noise. Then followed show.
ers Of red mud, mingled with large
stones. spreading havoc around. Such,
indeed, was the nature of nearly all the
matter erupted; red mud with no small
stones, but accompanied occasionally by
heavy rocks.
Above the mud fell few inches of
ashes. In the villages of Iwase, Yoaan
Wakami va, Misato, and Hibara, the
greater part of houses were buried to o
depth of seven to twenty feet. The state
of the bodies recovered is terrible. Some
ire literally cut to pieces, others are par
boiled, so that it is scarcely possible to
distinguish between men and women. a
few corpses were found suspended in
branches of trees which had caught them
as they fell.
Up to the 17th, the number.of bodies
recovered is 476. It is believed that 81
are still entombed. The wounded
number Al. Eightly.seven houses have
been destroyed. The inhabitants of
Inawashiro and adjacent villages fled to
Wakamatroa and other places when the
eruptions occurred. The report of the
local officials of Wakamatroa says inhab.
itants Of Inswashire and adjacent district
escaped 9th their furniture. The
wounded are receiving treatment at the
schoolhouse in Inawashiro. Their con-
dition is shocking. Some have fractured
skulls, others broken limbs, and the faces
of few are battered so as to be unre-
cogizable. There are about a thousand
people in need of help.

SeYentg.Five Miles an Hour.

Until last Monday afternoon the train
known as the "Flying Scotchman"
running between London and Edinburgh,
was the fastest railway service in the
world. By its schedule time it made the
distance between these two points, four
hundred miles apart, in the wonderful
short time of eight hours. Now, however,
the rival train upon the London and
Northwestern, by fair race, has beaten
it in speed and is Justly entitled to the
honor of being the greatest traveller in
Europe OF America.
The two trains started from the Euston
station, London, at exactly 10 o'clock
Monday morning. The Northwestern
on account Of its longer route, was COM
PEELED to make one hour more than the
"Flying D1tchman," and was successful
in its attempt. The engine had o single
pair Of diving wheels. I feet 6 inches in
diametef, and weighed 27 tons. 1t burned
"a po1nds of coal per mile during the
run. The tender, loaded. weighed q
TONS. Behind it were coaches filled
with passengers making weight of 30
tons in all.
The start at first was slow on account
ofa steep grade but as the run progressed
tne speed vas increased steadily. Tele.
graph poles began to seem like fence posts
and the roadsides medley Of objects hard
to distinguish. The passengers knew that
they mere going over sixty miles an hour,
but were not prepared for the announce.
ment that the speed was seventy.two
miles. Mile post after mile post was
registered in fifty seconds by the watches,
and the fifteen miles from Tring 10
Bletchly took exactly twelve minutes and
thirty seconds.
At Crewe FIVE minutes were spent in
exchanging the single.wheel driver for
49, ton engine with two pairs of driving
wheels. With this speed of from IS to
rs miles an hour vas kept up for some
time, and the run of 81 miles to Preston
was made in exactly 81 minutes. At
Carlisle another change was made to an
engine with a single pair of drivers, with
which astonishing speed was made. The
train reached Edinburgh at 5:52 in the
afternoon, eight minutes under the
schedule. The entire distance covered
was 400 miles, and the actual time, in:
cl4dipg stops, was seven hours and
twenty-five minutes, an average speed of
So SO miles per hour. This has never
been approached before for so long q run.
The fastest continuous record in England
hitherto was that of the special train
which took the Prince of Wales from
Liverpool to London, 800 miles, in three
hours and fifty.nine minutes, an average
slightly over 81 miles.

The Condition Of the Crops.

The report of the State department OF
agriculture, showing the general condition
;otthe corn, cotton and rice crops on Au.
gust 1, lis not 80 favorable, at first sight, as
|: the report of the same date last year, but
appears in much more encouraging
light on examination.
The returns received by the department
covered the month. of July only, when the
effects OF q drought which had lasted from
three to six weeks in different parts of the
State we're plainly manifested. Even
under these circumstances, however, the
estimates Of the crop we're far from
discouraging. Cotton, which had been
delayed IN its growth by the late spring
Was.advanced by the dry season 80 that
a general improvement vas noted for. the
whole State. Though the crop is still
somewhat late, it is reported to be
generally in fine condition and fruiting
WE'LL
The reports of.the corn crop vary il
character according to the uneven
distribution of the rainfall in July, but
in the more favored localities the crop is
said to be the best in seven years. The
Condition of rice is below the average for
last year at the same time. probably fol
the same reasons already mentioned
The other field crops appear not to have
felt the effects of the drought so much
and promised nearly full yield when
the reports Of their condition were made
The most encouraging view OF the
situation, however, is presented in the
more recent reports Of the correspondents
of the Neaos and Courier, who have given
highly favorable accounts of the condition
of the crops since the 1st of August
The greater part Of the Injury inflicted on
corn. rice, &C., was caused BY the drought
in July, which ended with July. We
have had abundant and general rains
during the past two weeks, and the effect
has been prompt and gratifying. It il
not to be doubted that the average, fol
July, as reported by the State department
will be raised materially during the
present month, aud that good crops o.
every kind will be harvested.-Neaos ana
