Don't Believe in "Patent Medicines"

There Is not, so far as I know, pro- prietary medicine in the market which be- gins to be worth the money that Is asked for it. The poor man can spend his half dollar to far better advantage by going into any drug shop and asking the clerk what he had better do. At least he will not have to pay for advertising in every newspaper i'll the country. When he buys bottle of patent medicine for $1 he pays ten cents for the medicine, the bottle and colored wrapper, and ninety cents for the advertising. He can get his ten cents worth of medicine directly from ths drug clerk. The competent physician who makes discovery does not patent 1t, for such 8 proceeding would be against the ethics .

Horses for Cavalry Service.

The horses that were raised in the coun- try districts of Kentucky and Missouri were splendid animals for all around use, but now there seems to be nothing be- tween the weedy, delicate racer good for mile dash, but who would break down in a three days forced march, and the heavy animal that does excellently for wagon or light artillery use, but is too slow and clumsy for the cavalry. Even when we get horse that has at once bone and stamina it is nearly always the case that he has long back, that curse of the cavalry horse, for weak kidneys are in- evitably the result after one season's cam paign. Horse boards now have to go over the country with fine toothed comb to find the active, short coupled horses that are the best for service and which used to be found on every large farm. Unless something is done by the breeders the splendid saddle horses for which the Mis- sissippi valley once was famous will en- tirely disappear. -St. Louis Post-Dfs- match.

What Say the Puriata?

new verb. |" '-ante-pone, :" has become a claimant for i.uolic adoption. IL evil dently avoids the roundabout way iu which, by several words of a sentence, we have been in the habit of expressing the idea which is the opposite of that con. tained in the accepted word postpone. This means to place after, in point of time; "ante-pone" means to place before, in point of time. It is correctly formed from two Latin words, and, in a literary point of view, can scarcely be objected to. It will be a more condensed and a shorter mode of expression to use single words such as "antc-pone," "ante-poned," ''ante-poning" and "ante-poncment," !" than to write, as heretofore, sentences stating that specified things which had been fixed for a certain date were to come off on a date prior to the one originally intended. One word will satisfactorily contain the whole idea--Newport News.

Burman's Indifference to Death.

Three Burmans were led out to suffer death by being shot. They were perfectly anat hetic, not seeming to care bit, judg- ing py the way they laughed and talked and smoked the never absent cigar One of them having been tied up, the other two squatted down and watched the sen tcnce being carried out with intense inter- est. The volley was fired, and so true had gone the bullets that the top of the Burman's head was riddled with five of them. Turning away in disgust, what was my horror and surprise to see the remain ing two prisoners rolling on the ground, convulsed with laughter at the effect of tle Sepoys' rifles. It was some time be- fore they recovered sufficiently to be taken up for punishment, and when they were. one of them was smoking cigar and the other burst out laughing just as the order for firing was given.

 Geological Architecture.
 A curious effect of thewear and tear to which the earth's crust is ever being sub- jected is exhibited in the singularly capped pinnacles existing on the South river, in the Wahsatch mountains. There are hundreds of these slender pillars, ranging in height from 40 to 400 feet, most of them crowned by large caps ot stone. They are not works of human art, as might almost be imagined, but are the memorial monuments of the once rounded hills, from which they have been cut by the action of air and water. These pin. nacles alone remain of some square miles of solid rock, which< has been washed away to a depth of 400 feet. The greater hardness of the surface has caused 1t te resist corrosion more than the underlying rock, thus leaving the huge stone caps perched high in air on the points of the thin columns. At one point, while thi. carving process has been going on, thi1 wall of rock was penetrated. leaving ( lofty natural bridge or arch, which adds to the picturesqueness of a remarkable landscape Traveller.

The pope, being apprised of this fact, has sent
o vigorous protest to Bismarck, declaring that
the emperor's presence at Rome would be an
act OF hostility toward the vatican, especially
during the pending crisis with the italian

Bavaria and Austria asking them to use their
influence with those governments to induce
them to advise the Emperor William that his
interview with King Humbert must be at
place remote from Rome
The National Zeitung quotes the Italia as

The congressional district fights are absorbing
a great deal of public interest in all parts Of

has been reelected, after hard fight against
three very strong competitors. In tho fourth

has not a majority.
In the second district. Congressman Till
man will have hard fight. His opponents
are ID. H. Henderson, of Aiken, and Robert
Aldrich and l.. w. Youman, of Barnwel.
Tillmans cratic course in congress, and espe-
cially his open opposition to the administra-
ton, have weakened him considerably, and it
is doubted if he will be able to even to carry
his own county, Edgefcld.
In the seventh, Mr.. Elliott will be the dem.
ocratic nominee. Bob Smalls, it is said, will
retire from the field and will accept the
shrievalty of Beaufort county. L. S. Miller,
colored. and Tom johnson, white. and possibly
two or three other dusky patriots, will enter
the race on the republican side. The demo-
