Epoch.

The transition from long, lingering
and painful sickness to robust health
marks an epoch in the life of the in
dividual. Such a remarkable event is
treasured in the memery and the
agency whereby the good health has
been attained is gratefully blessed.
Hence it is that so much is heard in
praise of Electric Bitters. So many
feel they owe their restoration to
health to the use of the Great Alter
alive and Tonic. If you are troubled
with any disease of kidneys, liver or
stomach, of long or short standing
you will find relief by use of Electric
Bitters. Sold at SOC and 81 per bot

DIR. JAMES P. CAMPBELL:
DEAR sIR-Viewed from "complexional"
standpoint we prefer the gentler and loveller
sex should render verdict as to the efficacy of
Campbell's Arsenic Waters, neither member
of this firm ever having had occasion to use
them in that particular direction.
But as reliable STOMACHIC, NERVE tonic
BRAIN nutrient and INVIGORANT we say
without the slightest hesitation, that we have
jointly derived great salutary and LASTING
benefit from their use.
When this city was almost network of open
trenches, emitting unhealthy and noxious
vapors, our SENIOR used the waters most sue
cessfully in overcoming an attack of malaria
and in warding off other visitations of that
most persistent ailment, and Mr.. Hummel de-
clares emphatically that there is NOTHING to
equal Campbel's Waters, when one realizes
the necessity of quilting ones self together"
We know "whereof we WRITE" so please &C
cept this honest expression of our convictions
regarding the wonderful waters bearing your
name.
Very truly yours, HOWE 4 HUMMEL.

About Mammoth Cave.
BY A GIRL 10 YEARS OLD.

The Mammoth Cave is on Green
River, in the State of Kentucky. l
visited it summer before last, and [
will tell you what | can remember
about it.
One bright morning, with my
grandma, aunt and little cousin, the
guides and others, we went through
the big iron gate into the cave. At
first was cold, but after a few min
utes it seemed warmer, and we walked
twenty miles, which is the length of
the short route, and back without
getting tired. One of the first things
we saw was statute of George Wash
ington; farther on were holes filled
with blind bats. Then we went
through morrow place as long as
this house, where we all had to crawl,
it is called "Fat Mans Misery"
Then into the Star Chamber, which is
beautiful. The guides took our
lamps away and when we looked up
the top was full of stars and comet
over in one corner. The guide went
out of sight behind large rock and
made all the sounds we hear early in
the morning. We heard the rooster
crow, ducks quack, calf bleat, the
wood-chopping and then the sun came
up slowly, but before it got up high
enough for us to see, they brought
our lamps and we went on. Then
we went to see room called the
Methodist church. The pulpit and
seats were made of stone and the logs
were stone too. Next we saw the
Giants Coffin. 1t is forty feet long
and ten feet wide. There was an
other small room with windows in it.
The windows looked as if they had
iron bars across them, but they were
stone. In another room were some
large, smooth stones with writing on
them; it looked like Chinese letters.
They said it was found there and that
the visitors did not do it. Then we
crossed the bottomless pit on an iron
bridge. The guide carried rag with
coal oil on it; he lit it and threw it
down into the pit, and we could see
it go, OIL so far, far down, and we
could hear it roar when we were near
ly half a mile from it. There is a
room called the Bridal Chamber, that
looks like crystal or pure white
marble; in it are three arches; one

Children S Corner.
Little Sue and the Birds.

What were the little birds saying, Mamma?
They seemed to be taking to me,
While Dolly and were playing just now
Down under the old maple tree.
They chartered together ever so fast,
AS IL they were scolding away
At Dolly and me, when we've been so kind
To scatter them crumbs ev'ry day.
"Notscoldng, my child, just saying good bye
To Dolly and dear little Sue,
And telling that they are going away,
And sorry indeed to leave yon.
For the birds houses are not warmly built,
To keep out cold winds and the snow,
When winter Is coming, southwark they fly,
But come back in spring time, you know
40 then I'll be five, and going on six,
Mamma they won't know me at all;
And I'll have to tell them just who AMI
I'll have grown so old and so tall.
They'll be as surprised as grandnlamma was,
And say; Can it really be true,
That this great big girl is the same we called,
Last year, our own dear little Sue?
"The winters so cold, I'd fly with the birds,
II only had wing, know.
But, then, If went, I'd lose all the fun
OF playing OUT doors in the snow.
So think, Mamma, tits best to stay here;
can warm my fingers and toes
By our own CRATE fire. and cuddle right up
In your lap, when the cold wind blows"

The Need of Big Guns.
IN. Y. Tribune.1


No country which has facilities for produc-
ing modern guns at short notice can justly
be considered defenceless. War never
Genes without warning. There is.always an
interval between the raising of burning
question and the final conflagration. Diplo-
macy ordinarily fills the earliest pauses in
war excitement, and there is invariably a
period before the opening of hostilities
which can be employed for preparations on
a large scale. In a sudden emergency the
chief harbors on the American coast could
be placed in tolerable condition of defence
by the erection Of earthworks, provided
heavy guns were available for hastily con-
siructed Notifications. Little time is re-
CURED to make a sand heap and to mount a
big gun behind it, and such earthwork de-
fences, as was shown in the siege of Alexan-
dria by the British ironclads, are more
formidable than elaborate Notifications of
masonry. But modern ordnance cannot be
manufactured at moments notice. If the
government be without the plant required
for building up big guns and furnishing the
forgings and metal, no amount of excavating
and trenching will render the seaboard Sc
cure against hostile naval operations.
What the country needs in order to be put
in defensible condition in any unforeseen
emergency Is ornaments that are not behind
the times. The nation will be slaughing
stock for European military engineers ten
years hence II it has nothing better than
twelve-inch guns to show for Its expendi-
lures in establishing ordnance factories.

Elias Loomis, who died at New Haven yes
terday, has been prominent man of science
and education for almost half century.
Born In Connecticut in 1911, he was graduated
at Connecticuts most ancient institution of
learning In 1880, and three years later be-
came Yale tutor, IL was while in this po-
sition that he participated In what were
probably the first concerted observations
made in the United States for determining
the altitude of the shooting stars In 1885
he was the first person in this country to
discover Haley's comet ON its return to peri
helion in 1895; and he computed the ele-
ments of its orbit from his own observa-
tions. After year of study with the most
eminent scientists of Paris, he became, in
1887, professor of mathematics and natural
philosophy in Western Reserve College,
Ohio. He remained at this post about nine
years, actively engaged in the most impor-
tant and laborious astronomical work. He
observed 260 neon EXAMINATIONS for longi-
tude, 90 examinations of Polaris for latitude,
l6 OSCILLATIONS of stars, and determined the
orbits of five comets, besides observing the
dip of the magnetic needle at over 70 sta
tions in thirteen States, spread from the At
lantic to the Mississippi river. From the
Western Reserve, Prof Loomis went to the
University of the City of New York, filling
the chair of natural philosophy at that in
stitution until 1860. 1t was while here that
ne wrote that famous series Of text books
that, from their title pages, made the name
OF LOOMS famous to generation of schol-
ars and students. This series of text books
attained the enormous aggregation of half
million copies. Loomis's Treatise on AS
tronomy was used as text book in Eng
land; his work on meteorology was trans
lated into Arabic, and his Analytical Geom-
etry and Calculus was translated into Chi.
nese. In 1860. Professor LOOMS went tn
Yale, to the chair of natural philosophy and
astronomy, a position which enabled him to
devote time to the original research. for
which be was so well adapted and equipped,
His genius and labors received recognition
in Europe, as well as in America, and on
both continents he was valued member of
the great scientific societies. Professor
Ldomis's arduous intellectual labors did not
prevent the attainment Of the ripe old age of
rs years another instance of the life-giying
power Of enthusiastic and wisely directed
mental effort.

The Flack divorce scandal has taken en-
new aspect. The original decree was grant
ed TO Mrs. Flack ON the ground of adultery
on the part of her husband. Now Mrs.
Flack has asked to have it set aside on the
ground that she was not party to the pro-
ceeding and never asked for divorce. Mr..
Flack, on the contrary, through his counsel,
resists the annuling of the decree on the
ground that to set it aside would be an injus-
tice to him. Probably this Is the only case
on record where man has resisted the set
tine aside of decree which virtually con-
victed him of crime ON the ground that il
would be grIevous wrong to him. Judge
Bookstaver was not unnatdrally astounded
when ex-Judge Fullerton asked to be heard
in opposition to the annulment of the decree,
and refused very properly to let him speak.
The Judge has promptly annuled the decree,
but the queer method in which the original
decree was obtained is yet to be disclosed.
1t Is settled beyond doubt, however, that
Mrs. Flack was not party to the proceed
ng that granted her divorce, that she never
asked for divorce and that she knew moth
ing of the suit until after the decree was en-
tered. There was no doubt deep laid con-
spiracy Ia which Flack and several lawyers,
and probably some of the court officials were
implicated. All its ramifcations have not
yet been discovered. Meanwhile Flack,
though he processes to have some explana-
tion, neglects to make it. and the other con-
spirators are equally silent. In many re-
spects the case is one of the most remarka-
BILE that ever got before an American court.

worst ruffians when Deputy Marshal Maggie
shot down ex-Judge Terry. Nagle will prob
ably have to submit to the form Of being
tried for murder, but no jury will ever con-
Wet him. He had every reason to believe
from the character and career Of Terry that
Judge Fields life was in danger, and it was
only reasonable prudence on his part to shoot
down the ruffian before the latter had q
chance to use his deadly weapon. The only
regret the people Of California will feel con.
corning this shooting will be that it did moi
occur years ago.

WEST FALMOUTH, Aug. 10, 1889.


To the Editor Of the Press:
1t becomes my dlsagreeable task to make a
statement concerning matter of neghbor-
hood gossip. in which l and my daughter
are accused of wickedness of which we are
not guilty.
She has been accused of taking large
quantities of such articles as sheets, pillow
cases, laces and children's clothing, a histc-
ry of the Bible, a slop-jar and vase, which
are, and could be, of no earthly use to her,
and have been accused of receiving them
and assisting her in taking and secretng
them.
All / wish to say is that this Is not true,
and while 1t Is impossible for me to put my
self and daughter in the same position as
formerly in the eyes of our neighbors, by
any statement l can make, we can only ask
that this matter be allowed to rest, and let
an examination into our actions, in our daily
lie towards our neighbors show whether We
are worthy of their good opinion or other
wise. JENNIE L. BLANCHARD

Sullivan has been indicted by the grand
jury. The next step in his case is the trial
by petit jury. 1t will probably not be diff
cult to convict him, inasmuch as evidence
that he was engaged in prize fighting in the
State must be very abundant. He can be
sentenced to jail or he can be let off with q
fine. Probably promise to engage in nc
more mills in Mississippi soil will let him of
with fine.

The license bill has finally been defeated
in the New Hampshire legislature, but by
so narrow a majority as to show that the
grip of the Prohibitionists on the State is not
so strong as to admit for some time to come
of any more ill-advised attempts to put pro-
hibition into the constitution. All the pro-
hibition strength is needed to keep prohIbi.
ton where it is now, namely. in the laws.
A better enforcement of the present law is
also needed to strengthen the men who are
gradually losing faith in the existing legisla-
ton, because it does not accomplish it's pur-
pose as fully as they have hoped and ex-
pected.

The Brown-Sequard elixir has been tried
at Bellevue Hospital, but the physicians re-
port that it has had no appreciable effect.
Doubtless most of the stories that have come
from the West about its wonderful effects,
if sifted, would turn out to be largely the
fabrics of lively imagination. That the
elixir constitutes In certain cases valuable
stimuant is not improbable. but that it will
make the blind to see the deaf to hear and

claims made by the faith-healers or mind
curers for their sciences.

1t is not at all probable that England
will consent to hand Boulanger over to
the French government Though some Of
the charges en- which he was convicted were
purely civil in their nature, his prosecution
was essentially political one. And Eng

htical culprits.

We observe in several of our contempora-
ries the statement. alleged to have been made
by Judge Tate, that the Pacific Midland rail-
road will bring Chicago 200 miles nearer Port
land. We further observe that this road is to
extend from Sioux Falls, Dakota, to Puget
Sound. How road built from Sioux Falls to
Puget Sound can shorten the distance between
Chicago and Portland is something that we
have been utterly unable to puzzle out. Still
as Judge Tate says so we suppose it is so.

create no excitement in Paris. Inasmuch as
his conviction was foregone conclusion
from the moment he was put on trial there
would appear to be no reason why it should.
Besides interest in Boulanger has greatly de-

INTERESTING LETTER FROM
ROCKINGHAM.
FEBRUARY 5th, 1889.

FEBRUARY 5th, 1889.
Mr.. EDrroR The Farmers ALI
ances of this county are making very
fair headway. Our organizer, Bro.
Anderson, continues to organize new
Alliances in many parts of the county.
Every Alliance is increasing its mem
bership at each meeting as . general
thing. AS . general rule harmony
prevails, yet there are few sore-heGds
who may not be able to get as big a
slice or receive as much good at once
as they expected when they joined.
We have some of the best business
men, as well as those who have money
and influence, members of our order.
We have "Farmers' Alliance Ware
house Co." at Reidsville for the sale
of our tobacco, and its patronage is
encouraging.
We find some opposition, but we
move on, attend to our business, do
no one harm and try to help our
selves.
1t is to be regretted that so many
of our members do not read, do not
wake up to that standard by which
they can see the great necessity of
changing their mode of farming, by
cultivating less land, outstanding home
manures and make their lands better.
Raising a greater diversity of crops,
whereby they would have at home
more supplies for man and beast, in
stead of depending on the growth of
one crop, tobacco, from which to draw
all their supplies; if that crop fails, all
is lost as to living Farmers must
wake up, stay at home, work more
regularly, do less grumbling, put in
every day at home raising home ma
nures, buy less fertilizer, have better
gardens, cut fewer goods boxes at
the cross-road stores.
Farmers should take at least one
good agricultural paper, CLEAN from it
what suits their peculiar cases and let
the rest pass. They must get out of
the old ruts of the past and take new
and better routes.
Muscle is of but little worth to a
farmer or a nation unless a well-bal-
anced brain directs it. Brain power
leads the world and will lead the far
mer to success, at least to better
condition, if well directed.
