Something About tho First Lady Who
Handled United States Mall.
She was the widow OF Colonel An
drew Balfour, OF those revolutionary
times In the days OF our great and good
President Washington She was a
Miss Elizabeth Dayton, of Newport,
Il. l. Balfour came to America from
Edinburgh, Scotland in 1772, landing
at Boston. He was few years in the
North-married Miss Dayton in New
York City. His brother had preceded
him to Charleston, S. C. In l777 he
smiled for Charleston, but the distracted
state of the country induced him TO
leave his wife and her children with
relations in New England until he
could prepare a Southern home
for them but soon after this the
tide OF war turned South and
rolled its wave over the Carolinas, and
her husband cast in his lot with the
defenders OF the home of his adoption
North Carolina); but he soon fell a
victim TO the barbarity OF party OF
royalists led by Colonel Fannin,
British officer, who murdered Balfour
in his house in the presence OF sister
and his eldest child, recently come
from Edinburgh. They were with him
to nurse and comfort him IN his ILL.,
ness, caused by exposure and fatigue
in military service.
Soon as Mrs. Balfour heard OF her
husbands tragic death she fastened

Greene, who landed at Washingtori
from thence II was a tedious trip
through the country to the home in
Randolph County, where her noble
husband was murdered on the holy
Sabbath, the 10th OF March, 1882 She
visited the spot where he was so
hastily inferred. for it was unsafe
for his sister and child to remain
long there, as FanDin threatened TO
return and burn the dwelling and
take away the negroes. As the coun-
try was still unsafe, Mrs. Balfour
deemed it improper to live upon the
plantation. With sorrow she turned
away from his lonely resting-place,
and went to Salisbury until she could
return TO the spot so dear to her
While residing in Salisbury Presi-
dent Washington appointed her post
mistress, which position was filed
with entire satisfaction, aud when her
accounts were audited she was only
one-half cent behind. When the
country was peaceful she returned TO
the home provided for her BY her
noble but lost husband She lived un.

Gulls and Their Young.

Every bird watches over and caree
for her own nest. though the numbers
are so great and the tumult so excessive
that it is difficult to conceive how each
gull can distinguish her own spotted
eggs, placed in the midst of so many
others. exactly similar in size, shape
and color; and when at length the
young are Matched and are swimming
about on the loch or crowded together
on some grassy point the old birds. as
they come home from distance with
food. fly rapidly amid thousands Of
young ones exactly similar to their
own, without even looking at them,
until they find their own offspring,
which, recognizing their parents among
all the other birds, receive the morsel
without any OF the hungry little Great
ures around attempting to dispute the
prize, each waiting patiently for its
own parent, in perfect confidence that
lie turn will come in due season. -

THINGS DOCTORS DoNoT KNOW.
Thor Ignorance Illustrated in th6 Robfn-
son Poisoning Cases.


There was a commotion among the doc
tors at recent meeting of the Massachu-
sets Medico-Legal Society, when it was
found that reporters for secular newspa-
pers were taking notes Papers bearing
specially on the notorious Robinson ar
senical poisoning cases had been an
nounced.
DR.. Holt declared that there was general
ignorance of the symptoms of arsenical
poisoning, and claimed that because of this
ignorance the Robinson Poisoning cases
had gone on without arousing suspicious on
the part of medical men. There were, he
said, at least eight cases Of criminal poison
ing; seven occurred within five years, and
in one family, and the other was that Of
relative.
The cases were all treated by physicians
of large practice, prominent In the profess
sion, and yet no suspicion OF arsenical
poisoning was aroused until an organiza-
ton in which tho victims were insured
tried to determine by investigation why so
many persons died suddenly in this family.
In support Of his Statement as TO the ig-
norance of medical men OF the symptoms OF
arsenieal poisoning, the doctor remarked
that certificates of death were given in five
OF the Robinson cases as follows pneu-
ease and Bright's disease.
The startling disclosure of the stupid ig-
norance shown in the treatment of those
cases is quite in keeping with the usual in
discretion manifested by the profession in
the treatment of persons who are sufferers
from the slow and subtle poison which 70
generated in the system from diseased
state of the kidneys.
The afflicted are treated for consumption,
apoplexy, for brain and various nervous
disorders, when in most instances, It is
shown, when too late, that the patient was
wrongfully and ignorantly treated for
supposed disease which was, in reality, but
a symptom of kidney disease, and should
have been timely treated as such by the
use of Warmers Safe Cure, which is the
only remedy known that can be success
fully relied on in the treatment of such
disease
Such exhibitions of stupidity by those
who profess great intelligence in such mat
ters is calculated to destroy confidence,
and it can well be said that remedy like
Warmers Safe Cure, which places the d.
rect means of preserving health in the suf-
ferer's hands, is far more meritorious than
high priced medical advice which is so gen.
orally worthless and too often based upon
IN erroneous opinion as TO the true cause
Of illness.
Human life is just a little too precious to
the average individual TO be sacrificed 10
the bigotry or ignoran ce Of others.

Thorough saturatIng with Water VIII

or more wide and as long as the manure

pile as nearly straight upon the sides
as you can, aud every layer OF one foot
or less must receive thorough sprink.

building hot-bed. After the Pile is
as high as desired and heat rises, the
tramping must be repeated for few
days until the pile appears solid.
There IL Is to be left undistdrbed till

much the better, as the manure will
absorb all that falls on top of il
if the pile is fat. 1t should be ar.
ranged conveniently for getting the
water there. Putting barrels On the
wagon and throwing the water over
the pile with a pail, did not prove
satisfactory 10 me, as the work viii
often be neglected until one or more
days haulings have accumulated; then
the water will not soak through and
the lower part will fire-fang and spoil.
The better way is, if well is not by
the manure already, to have one dug
for the purpose with a good force
pump in it. A tank or a lot of oil
barrels should be prepared for the
water and stand a little higher than
the pile is going to be, and there
should be n rubber hose of sufficient
length with spraying nozzle at
tached to it. Do not think this

labor, for If the manure is worth haul
ing it is certainly worth preserving
and the more carefully and thoroughly
this is done the better satisfaction will
be given. There is difference be-
tween heating and fre-fanging. Iwant

place on large pile of heating horse

the worst place for them to lie down.

BISMARCK OF TO-DAY.
His Personal Appearance and His Ability
as an Orator.

AS an Orator.
Bismarck has grown old during the
last few years, his mustache is white
as SNOW, and his walk less erect than
in former years, but the power 81 his
face and the might of his eyes live still
the same as they did ten years ago.
When he sits down it is as if he was
on guard, his sword laid across his
knees, as formerly old Hagen used to
sit, and though he is no Hagen in
guilt and wickedness, he is a Hagen in
faithfulness, and. if need be, in stern
wrath. And he is on guard at the
gates OF the Fatherland.
Bismarck, as every body knows, is
not an orator. nearly said, thank
God. he Is no orator. His speech has
been lisened to forest stream which
rumbles over stones ana roots. The
comparison is somewhat poor. l
think | know a better, though a rather
technical one-namely, his speech is
like quicksilver drawn out Take
drop of quicksilver containing some
lead or zinc, put it on pane of glass
and hold it slantingly. The drop
swells and rolls, but presently it stops,
becomes thinner aud longer, remains
immovable for moment, gathers new
strength to flow, becomes thin once
again, and so forth. Thus 1t is with
the Chancelor's words; first hall d
sentence comes out, then he hesitates,
stops, or utters a short inartieulate
sound, and goes on agaA1. 1t is evil
dent that to speak is a physical exer-
tion, but even when he is in first-rate
form he does not talk huently.
But on closer observation the reason
appears very soon. The form of his
speech is improvised on the spur of
the moment but. unlike many fluent
speakers, he does not use the first eA..
preston which may come to his mind,
but while he Is utteriug the first half
OF sentence he is thinking how to
shape the second half in order to ex-
press exactly what he wishes to say.
II he makes a joke or a slight observa-
ton he speaks quickly and without
hesitation, but as soon as he returns TO
the serious treatment OF political sub
jet this painfully-accurate expression.
the result OF mental work. becomes
again apparent, which shows that he
ehdeavors not TO say syllable which
he can not reconcile with his respon-
sible position. This Is the reason why
his speeches concerning foreign poll
tics, read like official diplomatic docu-
ments, every word is carefully con-
sidered.
His voice is peculiar, high-pitched
and not very powerful 1t has been
called a thin voice. but this only ex-
presses one Of its qualities Another
is that it is so remarkably young that
one would think It almost incredible
for man OF his age to possess such a
voice. II one does not see him while
he is speaking II is diificulg to believe
that it is not young Lieutenant OF
twenty-eight who is speaking (Which.
by tho way, is rather pity, since the
snarl and the drawl OF the German
Lieutenant is detestable). But put la

FENCING FOR WOMEN.
A Hcaithful Exercise That Develops Al
the Muscles of the Body.

the Muscles of the Body.
Fencing is now as much a young
lady's pastime as tennis or horseback
riding, and every body who knows how
beneficial this exercise is to the female
system is glad it is so. Its votaries. in
fact, say it is ladies' sport par ex-
celence, as it needs quickness and
skill more than strength and daring,
and develops those qualities Which are
so essential to lady, viz, graceful
carriage and easy motion. On the days
given up TO the ladies the large hall of
the fencers' club resounds with stamp
ing OF feet and clinking OF blades. The
instructor gives each pupil lesson
which generally lasts about fifteen
minutes. Then two friends may chal-
lenge each other and put in practice
the thrusts and guards they have just
learned. The weaker sex makes up
In cunning what It lacks In strength.
Women are much more artful than
men. In no case is this evidenced
more clearly than in fencing. A man
will make a bold open attack, which
his opponent will parry ii he keeps
cool. A woman waits apparently with
no fixed purpose until she sees her OPP
portunity; then with quiclcness OF
eye and hand which defes parrying
she makes her thrust and succeeds If
she can keep her point straight A
parry would come too late; retreat is
the only safeguard.
In practicing the ladies wear an
ordinary tennis skirt and nat sole
shoes, no corset, an easy fitting blouse
or jersey. A wire mask protects the
face a padded buckskin plastron is
worn over the chest and buckskin
gauntlet saves the hand from any
chance scratches or thrusts. The la
dies are taught to fence with either
hand. and il is wonderful how quickly
this exercise gives strength and dex-
tority (even in its literal sense) to the
left arm, generally so awkward and
helpless.
The success OF the ladies fencing
class has proved beyond doubt the
propriety OF fencing As pastime. II
Is not too violent, for each one can
regulate her activity to suit herself,
and remain on the defensive or assume
the offensive as she feels like II.
Twenty minutes Of active fencing viii
give more exercise to7all the muscles
Of the body than two hours OF pretty

ing will be inclined to agree with her
fully; and to wish success to those who

for the use OF the fair sex and for
