EeEFORmIN TENNEssEE.

Ballot reform continues to make progress. It has cropped out in Tennessee, where bill known as the Dortch bill has just passed the legislature. The reform in Tennessee differs somewhat from the reform in other States, and the difference is interesting.
 The bill was warmly supported by the Memphis Avalanche, for two reasons. One is that the bill was indorsed by Democratic caucus. The other is that it will save Shelby county, and therefore West Tennessee. from Republican rule. Each year, says the Ava lanche, in order to carry that county, which includes the ''taxing district" of Memphis, it known in any other State. Each man is can- vassed, and the details of the campaign are worked out with painstaking care. 'sA man who persuades negro to leave town day before the election is hero. A man who pezsuades one to stay away from the polls is 8 public benefactor." When everything works we'll and the Republican candidate is unpopular, the Democrats can win, but Shel- by is doubtful county and five cannot make the charge of Balaklava to every election" says the Avalanche. 'The Dortch bill will save us.
 How the bill will save them is explained by the fact that, as approved by the Democratic caucus, provided no means by which voters who cannot read could have assistance in preparing their ballots. The iIliterate negroes, therefore, would be helpless as we'll as the whites, of whom, it seems, there are not sup posed to be 80 many in Shelby county. An amendment was offered allowing voters who cannot read to have their ballots read to them and marked by one of the officers of election. Against this amendment the Ava lanche appealed to the decision of the caucus, obligatory upon all Democrats, and to the peculiar condition of politics in Shelby coun- ty, which the bill, without the amendment, would make entirely safe and satisfactory from Democratic point of view. Of course the amendment was not adopted.
 Thus does reform triumph in Tennessee leaving Shelby county safe

Cure for Snake.Bite,

The London Hospital states that an unex- spetedc testimony to the value of mediation comes from South Africa. Mir. G. A. Farini, the explorer of the Kalhari Desert, had some oxen bitten by poisonous snakes, and one of his bushmen, it is said, cured them by mak ing iRcisions rouud the bite, and rubbing in to these powder made from the dried pois on-sacs of other snakes. In few hours the inflanation caused by the bite disappeared, and the oxen were quite we'll A few days afterward the bushman himself was bitten. He at once inoeulated himself in similar way with the powder, and having extracted from the wound the fangs of the snake that had bitten him, he drank drop of poison from the virus-sae. He immediately fell in- to a stupor which lasted some hours. At first the swelling of the wound increased, but it soon subsided. Next morning he in oculated himself again. By the evening of that day the swelling had disappeared, and two days after he was as well as ever. The favorite antidote is little lizard of very deadly powers called N'auboo, which is SO valued that native will give an OK for the dead body of one to dry and reduce to pow der for this purpose; but if hS has no N'au- boo he uses the poison of any snake he can get.

What Boston Is Doing fer the Heath
From the Congregationalist. ]


 I have directly learned, from the best authority, that distillery firm within three miles of the Massachusetts State House has a contract to furnish 5000 gallons of rum daily to the African trade for the next seven years. This would be equivalent to almost 1000, ,O00 gallons annually. It will be sur prise to many to learn that almost all the rum manufactured in the United States is made within five miles of our State House. During the last six years the total quantity manufactured and deposited in the distillery warehouses of the country was il, 133, 704 gallons, an average of 1,855,617 gallons yearly, of which total the distilleries around the Hub made 10, ,460, 12O gallons, or 94 per cent of all made in this country.
 Almost all the liquor sent from the Uni- ted States to curse Africa is sent from Bos- ton. No other liquor than that most ac- cursed of all liquors, Boston's rum, is sent from America to the 'Dark Continent" We see in the light of these facts the duty of Boston and Massachusetts to the constitu- tional prohibitory amendment A grand opportunity is thus offered us to rid our- selves of all complicity in the curse of alco- hol in Africa, in the United States, and in our own State.

 A curious law has been made in France, forbidding the sellers of newspapers and pamphlets from calling out, in their en- deavor to sell these, anything more than their title, price and the names of their con- tributors or authors. An infringement of this regulation is visited with various penal ties, the severest of which is several days imprisonment. The reason given for the law is that as the condition of affairs in France, both political and financial, is now somewhat critical, and as the people seem to be disposed to readily believe whatever they are told without much consideration of the subject, advantage has been taken of their credulity by vendors of pamphlets and newspapers, who have made announce ment of the alleged occurrence of events of startling character, having little or nothing in the publications which they have had to sell to sustain them in so doing .ss.s..-=

 Ex-Lieut. Coy. Hyde stopped over in the town for a couple of hours. He told our re- porter that he had been on business down the New York road, but the temptation to see old Milford's celebration had compelled him to cut the business short.
 The Grand Procession. The great parade was decidedly credita- ble one. The floats were handsomely deco rated, the representations well chosen and | faithfully portrayed the incidents they were i intended to present to view, and the indus- trial display novel and complete. Ex-Gov- ernor Ingersoll, in commenting on the dis play to COURIER representative, said 1t was the most complete display of the kind he had ever seen in Q New England town, and re- feoted great credit upon the occasion. The procession moved over the following route:
 From New Haven avenue to Broad, to Broad, round west end of park, down north side to river, to West River, to Governors avenue, to Cheery, to Town Hall, where the line was dismissed.
 The floats represented periods in the towns history and all touched of old fashioned New England country life. They were realistic too and called forth abundant expressions of admiration from the thronQs of spectators The scenes of old coloneal times were very suggestive and interesting. Isaac c. Smith the grand marshal was at the head of the procession and when the memorial bridge across the Wepowage was reached received or behalf of the town of Milford that handsome memorial Mir.

 Old Milford's celebration of its 250th anni- versary yesterday was indeed notable event in the annals of the beautiful and historic town. The whole town was alive at an early hour. On every side was seen an unwonted activity and stir. All along as one passed, the decorated houses told of the patriotic spirit burning within. All the trains came laden with passengers for Milford, and brought back to the old home many and many Milforder, not few of whom had been absent for years. The celebration com mittee were early astir, and they have been up and doing ever since the movement fo, the celebration was fairly started. The day was most suspicious. No finer day in Sep tsmber or in any other month in the calen. dar could have been desired. The sun shons brightly, but the air was cool and comforta ble. As it's morning rays struck the beauti ful arcned bridge ana gllnted upon the Atonei of the artistic tower and caused pretty corrus cations upon the wavelets of the river Wepo wage below, the pilgrimages of visitors to th' bridge began, and faom that time on unti the shades of evening came and threw tn, shadow of the tower upon the water below visitors were viewing the bridge and scan ming the inscriptions of historic Milford names upon the cap stones of the bridge ol either side the roadway, and viewing tn other historic features presented on towe and bridge.
