A DEMOCRATIC BLUFF.

John L. Sullivan, whose foul and
loathsome crime consists of punch
ing a professional brother with his
fists in a prize ring, has been held
under bonds of $4,000 to appear
for trial for violating the laws of
the state OF Mississippi. Governor
Lowry, boiling over with indigna-
ton, and determined that the full
penalty of the law should be
visited upon the man who SO
grossly insulted the people and
outraged the laws of that state,
has pursued this graceless offender
with ceaseless vigor, until he now
has the satisfaction of knowing
that he is within his grasp. True,
the arrest and conviction will cost
the people of the state of Mississ
ippl several thousand dollars, but
peace and dignity must be main
tained and justice satisfied.
Since Gov. Lowry has occupied
Mississippi's gubernatorial chair
there have occurred in that state
numerous political murders and
outrages which the governor has
not even protested against; but
Governor'Lowery evidently draws
the line at prize fighting. 1t may
be possible, however, that the gov
ernor, by his relentless pursuit of
Sullivan-Sullivan travelling open
ly the entire time-wishes to sig
Nifty an intention to punish all
lawbreakers from this time OH. If
this be true he deserves much
praise, and his past actions can be
partially overlooked. But we
venture TO predict that in Mississ-
ippi, as well as other southern
states, the regular butchery of re-
publican voters at the next
election will take place. There is
but little doubt that his pursuit of
the fighter was a "bluff." How
ever, but few northern people
will place any confidence in
Governor Lowry's sincerity, and
will continue to demand protec-
ton for republicans in the south.

THE ELIXIR OF LIFE"

DR.. Brown -Sequard, of Paris,
who occupies a very prominent
position in the scientific world,
claims to have discovered that a
preparation of selected portions of
the rabbit or guinea pig may be so
administered ''as to keep man
twenty or thirty years younger
than he really is"
This claim of DIR. Sebuard's has
been laughed at and ridiculed by
psychologists and physicians gen.
orally, but DR.. William Hammond,
of Washington, d. c., now comes
to the French doctors assistance.
DIR. Hammsnd made an expert
ment, it is said. He took selected
portions of a lamb-preferring that
type OF vitality to the rabbit or
guinea pig--and after pounding it
in a mortar mixed it with water
and filtered the compound through
fine Swiss filtering paper. His
patient, 60 years old, whose arm
had been paralyzed for a year, re-
covered the use of that limb after
using one injection of DR.. Ham
mond's mixture. The learned in
vestigator modestly admits that
this single instance does not es-
tablish the scientific truth of DIR.
Brown-Sequard's theory, but he is
inclined to acceps it as affording a
strong presumption in its favor.
OF course these experiments
will arouse considerable interest,
but we are not inclined to place
any faith in the Elixir of Life"
until these physicians have estab-
lished many more instances where
mems youth has been restored.
There are many old women in
this country who can tell of their
wonderful cures by applying a
red herring to the heel of a boot
worn by a man whose arms were
paralyzed with rheumatism. DIR.
Hammond's and DIR. Sequard's
cures are about On a parallel with
the old women's.-Ex.

FARM LIFE IN CHINA

A farmer may be hired by the
year for from eight to fourteen
dollars, with food, clothing, head
shaving and tobacco. Those who
work by the day receive from eight
to ten cents, with monday meal.
At the planting and harvesting OF
rice wages are from ten to twenty
cents a day, with five meals, or
thirty cents a day without food.
Few land owners hire hands ex~
cept for few days during the
planting and harvesting OF rice
Those who bave more land than
they and their sons can till lease it
to their neighbors. Much land is
held on leases given by ancient pro-
prietors to cianslnen whose de-
scendants now till it, paying from
seven to fourteen dollars worth
Of rice annually for its use. Food
averages little more than one dol
lar month for each member OF a
farmers family. One who buys,
cooks and eats his meals alone,

to two dollars a month upon the

pounds of rice, costing three and

A VERY PLEASING SIGHT.

She's fairer than lilly,
And she's sweeter than rose;
And she knocks the neighbors silly
When she wields the garden hose.
She lifts her skerts from danger
With her left hand, while her right
Grasps the nozzle, and the stranger
Gets very pleasing sight.
The neighbors' eyes all twinkle
And their interest daily grows,
For they like to see her sprinkle
And they like to see the hose.

An Amateurs Holiday.

1t was a beautiful day in De-

ness in it which made ones blood
tingle. l was in the midst of some
frightfully tangled work. l had
tugged at it with desperate ear

alton, but it was obstinate, and

When we reached the park I
