Gen. Buffers idea, expressed In the Colby
Grafton, that the English speaking races of
the world should stand together us the pro-
motors OF peace and the uncompromising
opponents of war, is step in advance of the
line Of public opinion ON this in America and
England. English statesmen still have their
eyes upon continental alliances, and con-
tinue to build up their navies and consolidate
their insular strength that they may still con.
tinue to play an imperial part in the affairs
Of Europe. American statesmen still cling
to the spirit OF the Monroe doctrine, and
view with proper suspicion European en-
tanglements, and even so slight an entangle-
ment as the relations assumed by this coun.
try to Samoa are regarded with reservation
by the sentiment of a cautious public. Yet
in spite Of all this, 1t is not difficult to see
that the relations of America are growing
closer at a rate that might give ground even
for the coolest judgement to predict the con-
dition of friendship and alliance portrayed
so glowingly by Gen. Butler. Since the
close of the civil war Americans and En-
glishmen have come to know each other bet
ter and to take a greater interest in each
others affairs, and this mutual understand
ing and interest seem to increase by pro-
erosion of geometrical rapidity. English
papers once extremely conservative and even
bitter in their comments on affairs American
have become warmer from the glow of ma
tional good feeling, and now are most cor
dial in their expressions toward America.
Every occasion brings forth such expres-
sions. At the time of the Couemauph flood
and the Seattle fire the London Times. which
in the past has voiced public opinion far
from friendly to America showed The change
in that public opinion by passing beyond the
simple expression of sympathy to speak of
the "indomitable people," to direct admira-
ton to their courage and promptitude in re-
pairing the great ruin, and finally by utter
ing this sentiment to which English SQUIRE

notwithstanding the proclamation of Gov
NiehoIl Of Louisiana the preparations for
the Sullivan-Kilrain prize fight go right along.
The principals say they are bound to fight,
even if they have to go TO Alaska. 1t would
seem that when man announces publicly
his intention to violate the law the law ougl t
not to be obliged to wait until he has actu-
ally committed the illegal act. The proper
way would seem to be to put Sullivan and
Kilrain under big bonds to keep the peace.

The despatch from Ottawa to the effect
that permission had been given the Canadian
Pacific to transport goods in bond across
this State appears to be incorrect. The
treasury officials as yet have taken no action,
though there seems to be a disposition on
their part to refuse the privilege Probably
the policy finally decided upon will depend
very much on the character of the report Of
the Senate committee. On Friday this COM
mittee meets in Boston, and will listen to
representatives of New Englaud's business
interests.

dshonorable act. Davitt is one of the most

dorsement is worth good deal. 1t is veiy

Times. But the Times is stepped in preju-
dice; and 1t may be that Mr. Davitt is to

The "Sickly green" two cent stamp which it
has mathematical for some years past is to
go. The Postmaster General has issued Spec
iications for two series of postage stamps,
one being the size of the present stamps
and the other about one-third smaller. If the
larger size should be decided upon the color
OF the two cent stamp will be metallic red,
which was the color before the last admins-
tration changed it to "sickly green" If the
smaller stamp is adopted, the color will be
carmine. as the saving effected in the size
will permit the more costly and desirable
color to be used.

An extra session of Congress or not is the
question which is now agitating administra-
ton circles at Washington. There are some
very strong arguments in favor of an extra
session in October, and the President is be-
ing strongly urged to call one. That the
Republicans will be able to elect the speaker
OF the next House without trouble is now
conceded, but their majority is so small that
it is going to be very difficult to accomplish
legislation which the Democratic members
solldly oppose. Whether the session is
called in October or waits until the regular
time, it bids fair to be one of the most excit-

MISCELLANEOUS.
INDIGESTION

not only distressing complaint, of
itself, but, by causing the blood to
become depraved and the system en-
feebled, is the parent of innumerable
maladies. That Ayers Sarsaparilla
is the best cure for Indigestion, even
when complicated with Liver Complaint
is proved by the following testimony
from Mrs. Joseph Lake, of Brockway
Centre, Mich.:-
Liver complaint and indigestion
made my life a burden and came near
ending my existence. For more than
four years l suffered untold agony, was
reduced almost to a skeleton, and hardly
had strength to drag myself about All
kinds of food distressed me, and only
the most delicate could be digested at
all. Within the time mentioned several
physicians treated me without giving re-
lief. Nothing that took seemed to do
any permanent good until commenced
the use of Ayers Sarsaparilla, which
has produced wonderful results. Soon
after commencing to take the Sarsapa-
rllla l could see an improvement in nv
condition. My appetite began to return
and with it came the ability to digest
all the food taken, my strength i'm
proved each day, and after a few
months of faithful attention to yoar
directions, founi myself a well
woman, able to attend to all household
duties. The medicine has given me a
new lease of life.''

BALD MOUNTAIN.
Mutterings and
MO0nshiners' Tricks. I
AnostoIie Giuida @ l.

Rey. N. B. Cobb, who recently
made a trip to the western part of
North Carolina among the noun
tains writes letter to Charity and
Children''in which hespeaks of Bald
Mountain. and "Moonshiners" in
this language: while the green
trees add much to the beauty of the
scenery in Summer they ohstruct
some of the finest views of the grand
old rocks and icy precipices which
YOU get in Winter. The turnpike
road winds along the banks of
Reedy Patch Greek till it flows into
Broad River and then down the
Broad till YOU get out of the noun
tanis through an immense rocky
gateway with the famous Old Bald
Mountain on one side and Chimney
Rock Mouatain on the otler. Bald
Mountain you know, is the noun
tain which several years ago created
such a sensation of roaring aud
shaking and smoking and making
the people believe he Was going to
turn into a volcano The people Of
Rutherford County now say that the
smoke and roaring were manufac-
tured by some moonshiners who had
illicit stills in the mountains They
touched off several kegs of powder in
the creviceS o. the mountains to
frighten away the internal revenue
officers. They also touched off more
powder when professor and some
students from Wofford college, ).
e., came up to inquire what was the
matter with the mountain, aud
turned them aside from the scientl-
tic exploration. 1t is sad to think
that men should use these grand
and awe-inspiring works of GUd as
hiding places for unlawful and
wicked business. No one with a
soul in him, it seems to me, can gaze
on this grand masonry of tod with
out havin9 his thoughts lifted to
higher and better things than max
ing money by unlawful sitting.
Aud yet just above one of the most
beautiful waterfalls in the Reedy
Patch Gap is a whisky still, which
my companion in travel told me was
largely patronized BY the mountain
eers around it, and the first Baptist
Church visited after coming down
the mountains had nine of its men,

4 STRANGE FATE,
Or Jcssic's Two Lovers.

There were two men who admired

time for her to choose. There were
lines that she fancied DIR. Manly
more than Ashley Honeywell, and
other times when the lattef's hand
snme face had mure interest and in
hnence in her thoughts.
What decided her to give up the
doctor was the fact that he was very
attentive to one of his patients, an
invalid girl, to whom he brought
flowers every day.
Som after this discovery Jessie
became engaged to Honeywell. and
every preparation was m de for an
e rIy marriage. The doctor still

It was to get flowers from her con-
