COUNTRY WELLS.

How far from I'll sink drains,
barnyards, etc., must . we'll be In
order to insure safety from drainage
into it from these deposits Of filth!
An article ON this subject in the
Sanitary Inspector says, for every
foot downward of . sub-eoil drain
or . well, the surrounding soil is
drained four feet on I'll sides. A
well, therefore, twenty-five feet
deep, and in which the water has
settled near the bottom, or has been
pumped dry, drains the soil about
100 feet around it, speaking gener-
ally. The Inspector says the best
all around sample Of water in Maine
that has come to that Office was
from q well, but it was situated in .
field $50 feet from al human habi-
tations. The worst sample also
came from a well, but it was at the
edge Of . barnyard.

NEW ORLEANS GETS THE NAVY
YARD.

A Washington special to the
Daily States, Of Tuesday last, says:
At last suspense Is over and New
Orleans has been officially recon-
mended - the best site for . navy
yard on the Gulf coast. This Is Is
has been predicted in these dis
patches for the past three months.
Lieut.. Kennedy this morning
presented the report Of the Commits
ion to Secretary Tracy and it was
1t once made public.
The report Is very lengthy, and
discusses al eligible sites on the
Gulf and Atlantic coasts. As the
resolution under which the commits
sion was authorized did not explicit
" instruct them to decide on the
best site to be found on both coasts,
the members Of the commission did
not do 80, but state that New Or
leans Is the best site on the Gulf
coast and the government reserva-
ton at Algiers the right location,
and that Port Royal Is the best site
on the Atlantic coast.
It Is estimated that the dry dock
viii cost $40, 900, and win require
three years for it, construction.

FASTER AND FASTER.

Unrest, hurry, is . bad charac-
teristic Of these times. We do
everything by telegraph. We live
As well - travel by the lightning ex-
press. The late Sir Henry Holland,
q polyglot man, in . charming book
Of personal recollections covering
sixty years Of the Nineteenth Cen
tury, says: ''People walk faster in
London streets than they did when
I first knew them. And this aug
mented speed Of locomotion d car
ried into every department OF life
politics, art, literature, commerce
and social existence. The charm
Of tranquil leisure i less and less
sought after"
This, which i true the world
over, il truest Of all in our country.
Like the old Mississippi steamboats,,
we are built on the high pressure
principle; and, like them, We are
liable to blow up. This hurry makes
business harassing and wearing.
Our merchants die at the top, in in
sane retreats. It ruins home life,
for that demands repose. The
home should be . breathing spot
uninvaded by fret and sacred x
peace. Go slow. You viii get
there Just the same, and save youl
health and prolong your life IN II.

The Farmerville Advocate says:
eve learn from our exchanges that
it il the int entien ct Ccv. Nichols
to resign the Office he holds . short
while before the expiration Of
Justice Poches' term on the Su-
preme bench, 20 that Lieut. Gov.
Jeffries, who win then be Cover
nor, may appoint him (Nicholls) to
the vacant place on the bench. OF
course this rumor carries with it the
supposition that there il an under
standing between Nichols and
Jehfries to that effect. We place
q higher appreciation on the char
acter, honesty and consciencious-
ness Of Gov. Nichols than to be-
keve that he would 20 barter and
trade for place. We do not believe
one word Of the rumor.

ONIONS INSTEAD OF QUININE.

One day I was taken with chills
and headache, signs that my old
enemy malaria was on hand. My
quinne box was empty, and I was
looking forward to = sleepless
night. In desperation I peeled .
raw onion and slowly ate it, and
then went to bed with warm feet
and an extra comforter, when, pres
to! was asleep in five minutes,
and awakened in the morning free
from malaria and ready for the days
duties. Our homely but strong
friend will be appreciated in time as
a medicine, and if agriculturists
would turn their attention to raising
. model onion, with the strong scent
taken out that taints the breath so
unpleasantly, families win be put
ting their spills in the cellar by
the barrel, and the doctors would
take to onion farming. The onion
acts as . cathartic and diuretic, and
may help to break up . cold or les
sen the bad symptoms. Said q doc
tor: 81 always store . barrel Of
onions in my cellar in the fall. We
have them cooked twice . week,
and whoever Of the family is threat
ened with cold eats them raw. II
this vegetable were generally eaten
there would be no diptheria, rheu-
matism, govt, kidney or stomach
disease. But bless you! the young
men and women are afraid to eat
them. One young man went so far
as to say to me: "If my wife ate
onions l would get bill Of divorce. p"

BRAZILIAN EMPIRE OvERThROWN
IN A DAY.
Dom Pedro Well Paid 10 Retire.

On tho 10th inst. the Brazilian
Empire was quietly and peacefully
overthrow and . Republican form
Of government established. A cor
respondent Of the New York Times
cabled the following particulars OF
the revolution from Rio Janeiro:
The United States Of Brazil, con-
shutting . federated Republic Of
the different provinces Of the EN-
pire, which Dom Pedro ruled 90
long, is an established government.
The new Republic to-day ID &C.
cepted by every province except
Bahia, in the North. Dom Pedro
is on his way to Portugal, having
accepted the situation with no at
tempt at forcible resistance. The
flag Of the new Republic has been
adopted, and Brazil is as peaceful
to-day as though no thought Of rev.
0lution had ever aroused the feeling
Of her people.
The overthrow Of the Empire has
been accomplished without the sac
rifice Of . single life, and the new
provisional government is proceed
ing with its work a methodioally
and peacefully as though it had
been in existence for years instead
of hours.
Dom Pedro submitted to the
terms imposed on him by the new
government and agreed to leave the
country within twenty-four hours
after he received the notice at his
summer palace at Potropolis. He
was offered 81, 500, 900 in cash and
provision for the rest Of his life in
the form Of an annual pension Of
$3.50, 900, which is to be provided
for in the civil list Of the new Re
public. He promptly accepted the
offer and came to Rio Janeiro with
his family last night and embarked
for Lisbon.

IS THE CHILD DOCTOR A FRAUD?
The Donaldsonville Chief has the
following to say about him:

The Donaldsonville Chief has the
following to say about him:
sDoctor" Albert Simonesux and
his parents have removed from this
parish to Carrollton, where the pre-
cocious little ''spit doctor" is ex-
pectorating on dozens Of patients
every day and rubbing it in. The
States and Times-Democrat have
followed the Picayune and given the
boy o big reportcS;l advertisement
as an alleged miracle worker and
wonderful curer Of nearly all the
ailments human flesh Is heir to,
hence the "Simoneaux saliva"
scheme is doing a land Office bust
ness. The boys mother is quoted
as having stated to I'D. reporter
that her child had cured hundreds
Of ailing people in and around DON
aldsonville," and although the Chief
has already shown the utter falsity
Of this absurd statement and demon
strated that no benefit has been de-
rived by patients claimed to have
been restored to health by the ma
nipulations of ''the Donaldsonville
child wonder, as the I'D. calls
him-we do not anticipate that this
exposure or any amount Of irrefu-
table testimony that might be add
ed to it will materially affect the ex-
tensive practice of the diminutive
physician or shake the faith in his
miraculous powers entertained by
the deluded sufferers who daily
flock around him in the hope Of OBJ
tanning surcease Of their bodily
aches and pains.
It is . popular belief that country
people are, as . rule, more unso-
phisticated and readily deceived
than those who reside in . large
city, but the furore which appears
to have been created in New Orleans
by the advent of our little spit doc
tor indicates that gudgeons are quite
IS plentiful, If not more so, in the
metropolis than the rural districts,

CAN THE SOUTHERN STATES
STAND IT.

The following interesting article
from the agricultural department Of
the Picayune furnishes food for &C.
rious thought:
Mississippi white taxpayers, the
most Of them farmers, pay over
$5O0, 900 . year to educate negro
children, and about half - much to
educate white children.
Thousands Of white boys and
girls in Mississippi do not attend
school ct Ill and cannot read or
write. Farmers work hard aud they
and their families fare hard, to save
money to pay the half million dol
lars annually that Is withheld from
white children and goes to educate
colored children.
II there no remedy for this !?
Could . State Convention devise no
plan by which white taxes may 60
to educate white children and color
ed taxes to educate colored chill
dren?
The colored people draw the color
line % close that their party in the
South Is simply the negro party-it
i only Republican 90 far g Re-
publicans are hostile to the South
ern white people. Their politics are
based solely on the race question
and the celebrated "colOr line"
Mississippi white taxpayers viii
in the next ten years spend five mill
lion dollars in educating negro chill
dren, and white schools viii be de-
prived Of that large sum that ne
groes may be educated.
While Northern white philanthro-
pists have spent over SIS, OOO, 900
for the education Of Southern ne
groes, they have spent nothing for
the education Of Mississippi or
Southern white children, excepting
the Peabody fund.
The Southern States spend over
s., 000, 900 yearly Of white tax-pay-
ers' money to educate Southern
negro children that viii amount to
$50, 900, 900 in ten yesrs. Can the
white farmers, taxpayers OF the
South, stand this crushing weight
upon their shoulders in the midst Of
pinching poverty and the misfor-
tunes Of bad seasons and low prices
for farm products? And they must
pay this tax that keeps up the ne
gro schools or be sold out. Are
not the Southern white people in
the negro harness, while the negroes
and Northern Republicans hold the
reins and crack their whips? Can
the Southern people stand this out
rage, while the Northern journals
preach flrebrands, arson and death
to the negroes . weapons to be
used against the white farmers and
tax-payers Of the South?
Who can solve this painful and
motty problem? Nobody blames
the negroes for this-it d not .
scheme Of their invention-but Is
there : remedy? II %, where and

A NEW KIND OF BUTTER.

German chemists have discovered
in the cocoanut . fatty substitute
for butter, and the United States
Consul at Mannheim, Germany, re-
ports that the new product has be-
gun to be manufactured on . large
scale in that city. A single factory
produces 5000 pounds Of it per day,
worth in the market Is cents pc.
pound. The nuts used are obtain
ed mostly from the South Sea and
Coral Islands, Arabia, the coast
countries Of Africa and South Amer
lea. Natives in countries where the
nuts grow have for . long time used
the milk Of these nuts instead Of
food oils. The butter contains 60
to 20 per cent. Of fat and 25 per
cent. Of organic substances, Of
which 10 per cent. is albumen. In
q country where real butter runs ali
the way Csc to 35e per pound, CO
coanut butter at half that price il
thought to have . great future be-
fore it. At present it is chiefly used
as . substitute for oleomargerine.
1t is free, also, from germs Of tu-
berculosis, which il said to affect
fully 10 per cent. Of the milk-giving
COWS in Germany. The Consul
recommends the adoption OF this
new butter a. an article Of manu-
facture in the United States.
