Hon. VIM. L. Wilson has written
a letter to friend in Warren coun-

the efforts made from the outside to

result of the national contest, Mr..
Wilson says: 81 deplore the defeat
of Cleveland with increasing dis

in the midst Of a most successful

perity, because he championed the

comes here from Winchester, Va,
where he has been operating his rem

a rare invention for renoyating old
feather beds, pillows &C., and has
given his patrons in this locality en-
tire satisfaction. From every place
that he has been he bears away
strong testimonials. His work
speaks volumes in praise of his won
dcrtul mechanical process.
We called on Mr. S. yesterday,
and found him to be most
agreeable gentleman and a thor
ongh business man. The renoyator
and the other machinery has been
put in place, and is now running at
its full capacity. Two wagons are
steadily employed in bringing in
feathers to be renovated. Cleans
ing and and drying is done entirely
bv steam and without the aid OF
chemicals, nor does the method IN
lure the feathers in the least bat ac-
tuallv makes them as good as new.
Mr.. Shelton will remain here this
Winter, and every hOusekeeper
should take advantage of this oppor-
tunity and have their bedding reno

gaining strength, the itching was
unrelieved. l finally concluded to
take a thorough course OF BRAD

The Country Newspaper.

It is only country weekly! Yes,
that is all, but do those who allude to it
with an Intentional sneer ever reflect
upon the duties and mission performed
by the poor, obscure county weekly
which is as much, nay more, to its few
hundred readers in the country, as is the
great metropolitan daily to its thousands
of readers in the city? Oh, no, they
never think of placing an estimate upon
the worth of country paper; it has
none within the narrow limits OF their
superficial and contracted brains. They
will not admit the utility of any form of
a newspaper save one which is crammed
full of telegraphic dispatches, giving the
minute details of some revolving and
nauseating social scandal, or containing
an infinite variety in detail OF torelgn
events. But the financial, agricultural,
commercial, religious and social condi-
ton of hisfeuoW. citizens residing within
the boundaries of such an individuals 8
own county, are to him as sealed book;
he has never opened the pages OF his
county paper to inquire within; put him
to the test and you will ind that ne
knows more about the Hottentots OF
Central Africa than he does about the
people Of the surrounding country. We
turn away from the contemplation OF
this human superhuity, Of which there
are thousands, and view the practical,
common-sense man, who wishes to be
informed as to the pursuits, condition
and prospects Of the people OF his own
immediate State and county. He finds
in the home paper the information he
seeks. The country organ is to him the
camera lucida which faithfully portrays
all that occurs; it is, in a great measure,
the reflex of the character of the people
comprising the country wherein it is
published. But what is the interest
which even the practical, common-sense
man derives from it, compared to that
which is felt and entertained by the
country people themselves? 1t is every
thing to them. In it is found news
which they alone, probably, can appre-
ciate and understand; information re-
garding their friends and neighbors, the
condition of the crops and the market
quotations, matters of local considera-
ton in which they are interested, and
hundred and one different things which
affect and interest them, both privately
and publicly. The county newspaper Is
to county what nutritious food IS to q
convalescent-it helps to build up ell
that is good in it. The county that is
without one is like waste plain without
elevation from which person desiring
to examine the surroundings can
make no Observation-Disclosures Trade

100000 Reward For a Cure.

Senator Plumb has introduced in the
Senate bill offering reward of $780,
900 for the discovery OF the cause, remedy
and treatment of yellow fever. The bill
requests all persons who recover from
yellow fever after treatment by some
copyrighted method to notify the Sur.
geon. General of the recovery, and that
all physicians who have under treatment
by any copyrighted method any person
who may die from yellow fever shall
notify the Surgeon-General OF the death
and the method OF treatment; and when
a record shall have been had of some
remedy which shall have cured 9Sl OF
1000 cases treated, then the inventor or
disco7erer of that method shall be paid
the reward of 100000. Under the terms
of the bill all remedies entered for this
competition shall have been copyrighted

The Dowauser German Empress.

DR.. Mackenzie declares she is the
cleverest woman he has ever met, and
her numerous friends in the literary and

expressions of admiration for her brill
fancy and genius. But with all he,
briiliancy her case is sad ono. One
way or another her life was one of dis

grand qualities as to render him source
Of greater pride and an object OF deeper
love.
The fearful sffiiction which came upon
them lifted up their hearts, and made
her capable of writing that immortal
telegram in which she announced his
death to the Empress Augusta. She was
always right-minded, but self-willed. The
pride of spirit was for years brought out
by her drop down from England, where,

This to Queen Victoria's daughter was

THE NEW COTTON EAGGING.
Liverpool is Willing to Accept sheete
Bales.

Liverpool is Willing to Accept sbeeted
(From the n. Y Daily Commercial Bulletin,
sept 26)
The following dispatch was reeeived
at the New York Cotton Exchange from
the Liverpool Cotton Association yester-
day: "Cotton sheeted bales re good
delivery. Resolution will be moved to
make such actual tare."
This was an answer to dispatch sent
recently by the Exchange asking the
sentiment of Liverpool buyers on the
substitution of cotton Cor other bsgging
in place of the regulation jute 7,rarplng.
While considerable doubt Is - rsssed
among members of the Exchange as to
the desiraDility of changing from jute 70
cotton, yet nearly all are in favor of do
ing something that will place the naiket
entirely independent of the jute conbl-
nation. No official action has as yet
been taken by the Exchange in the
matter, but now that the LIVERPOOL
market has expressed a willingness to
lend it's support to the new mo7en-ont
tests of the three materials that hsFe
been offered by different firms to the
Exchange will be urged. Still the sub
stitution is very serious matter, affecting
the entire trade, and among the more
cautious the sentiment is to move slowly
and wisely. Whatever substitute is made
will be first subjected to a very severe
test, though the leaning is to the new
cotton fabric, as if adopted it will mate
rally increase the domestic consump-
tion, especially in the line of low grade
cotton, which would be utilized and
which now quite often goes a-begging.
The three substitutes offered for lute
bagging are cotton, wire cloth, and a
fabric manufactured from the needles or
leaves of the pine tree.
