ALEX ANDRIA.
MONDAY EVENING, AUGUST 10.

AS GENERAL WALKER promised to stump
the State for he democrats If his favorlte
for Governor, Capt. Mckinney, was nomi.
,ted, and as Col. R. B. Berkeley telegraph
cd Cap. Mckinney congratulations upon
his nomination, the State ticket nominated
by the democrats last week has at least de.
prived General Malone Of two strong sup.
ports, and that, too. in sections where they
wers most needed, the Southwest, and the
Black Belt. General Walker, it will be re-
collected, was recently talked Of for posi-
HE place on General Mahone's ticket, an
Col. Berkeley was an applicant for q. S.
district attorney under the present admins
tration. But these are by no means the
only losses General Malone will sustain.
There are mutteriugs deep but loud against
him throughout his whole party. and though
the negroes will stand by him solidly, and
nearly all the white republicans in the State
will continue to submit to his yoke. there
will doubtless be here and there among the
latter man bold enough to attempt to re-
lieve himself of that yoke next November.
The Generals prospects at present, at least,
can not be said to be favorable.

Now THAT the MAJESTY of the law has
been made manifest 10 the case ofthe recent
Mississippi prize fight, the proper thing tol
Gov. Lowry to do would be to pardon Sulli
van. The Governor has done all that any
other one man could do to break up prize
fighting In this country, and having done
that, and exhibited the power of the law In
his own State he should not desire to ipfilc'
severe punishment for a venial ofsnse.

can not be said to be favorable.

Two POLITICAL State conventions were
held last week, but in the platforms Of
neither was there the slightest reference to
the civil service lava matter that will be
the c4use of more change of votes 10 the
next election than any other, and that was
the real cause of the defeat of Mr.. Cleveland
and the election of Mr.. Harrison less than
one year ago, and though one Of the con-
yentions referred to endorsed the former
and the other the latter. Frauknsss has
ceased to be factor In American politics
time serving has usurped it's place. The So
called Weaders" wait until the trend of pop
ular opinion is unmistakab!e before they
make move. If the democrats be wise
they will put themselves on record as IN
favor of the repeal of the i'll executed
and Objectionable law as soon as Congress
meete.

THE PHILADELPHIA american, an ultra
protective tariff newspaper, ia compelled BY
the legitimate effects of such taritt-trusts'
TO say:
1.-The monopoly of the home market. the
robbsry of the public for the advantage OF
private interests, would transfer the whole
advantage from the side of protection to
that of free trade, and would make any
further struggle for vigorous American
nationality unsvailiug and contemplate"
That the protective tariff does make mo-
nopoly of the home market. and does rob the
pubic for the advantage of private interests
goes without saying, and Ia too patent to re
unire further demonstration.

Why the Ca. IA. whl.ksr..

Every one must have observed what
are usually called the whiskers on a
cats upper lip. The use of these, in a
state Of nature, is very important. They
are organs of touch. They are attached
to a bed of close glands under the skin,
and each OF these long hairs is connected
with the nerves of the lip. The slightest
contact OF these whiskers with any sur
rounding object is thus felt most dis
tinctly by the animal, although the hairs
themselves are insensible. They stand
out on each side of the lion as well as in
the common cat; 80 that, from point to
point, they are equal to the width of the
animals body. If we imagine, there
fore, q lion stealing through a covert of
wood in an imperfect light we shall at
once SEQ the use of these long hairs.
They indicate to him, through the incest
feeling, any obstacle which may present
itself to the passage of his body; they
prevent the rustling of boughs and
leaves, which would give warning to his
prey if he was to attempt to pass through
too close a bush; and thus, in conjunction
with the soft cushions of his feet and the
fur upon which he treads (the claws neve,
coming in contact with the ground), they
enable him to move toward his victim
with a stiffness even greater than that
Of the snake, which creeps along the
grass and is not perceived until it Il
coiled round his prey.-Exchange.

In the .ppended paragraph the Rod

In the appended paragraph the Rock
Springs Independent calls attention to a
fast worthy Of consideration: MANY arc
the complaints made by stockmen of the
ravages Of coyotes and mountain lions.
These pests are getting to be more mum.
erous and more bold 10 their operations.
Lambs, calves and colts are their prey
and every stockman is more or less of a
looser. Mr.. James Niche reports coyotes
very numerous up north and informs
us that he poisoned eleven a few days
ago. While the former bounty law granting
bounues on every animal from a bear to a
gopher was absurd il was equally a mis-.
take to repeal the entire law. Consider
ing the annual loss from mountain lions
aud coyotes it would seem a wise thing
to encourage their determination bS
granting a bounty for their hides"

The latest development of automatic
machines will take the form of a self
acting Photographic apparatus. The
ingenious contrivance, which will be
offered to the public some time in De
cember, is the invention of a Spanish
genius. In outward appearance the
machine is very similar to the innu-
merable engines for Turing the hum
BILE penny from a curious public that
may be seen at any London terminus.
The mechanism is simple. The person
to be operated upon stands on an iron
plate, and duly puts his penny in the
slot.
This brings into play the machinery
the cap is removed from the lens, at
which the subject" is expected to
look steadily during the few seconds
of exposure. Then, by a remarkably
rapid process, lasting from two and a
half to three minutes, the photograph
is developed and elected from the ma
chine. The photograph is not, OF
course, on sensitized paper (Which
would require at least twenty-four
hours for its development) but it is
developed on a metal plate-some
preparation of tinfoil probnbly-apd
is really an improved form of daguer
reotype, The proprietors of the pat
ent evidently think that there j.
money in it" as they have given ar
order for 1000 machines TO q well
known firm in West Bromwich.-St

A SIGHT.

The Pan-American congress enjoyed a
rare treat at P~ittsburg. In the darkness
the delegates and great throngs OF sight
seers took places in front Of the exposi-
ton building. and thousands upon thous-
ands swarmed upon the river slope. A
company of troops held aclear space be-
fore the exposition building. Suddenly a
cannon doomed, a rocket was shot in the
air, and, what had a moment before been
a kissing sound in the darkness, deepcned
to n roar as the city's flow OF natural gas
burst into fame at the tops of four stand
pipes that had been erected from a main
on the river bark. Four inches in diam
etcr were the pipes, and blank wonder
aud amazement we've visible on the face
OF every foreigner as the roaring flames
writhed and Jared up fifty feet in the
night The crowds scattered before the
intense Leaf, and 200 feet away the trav-
elers shielded their faces from the heat
with their hands. Anon 100 feet from
the shore a volcano of water suddenly
burst upward from the river surface, a
rocket was hurled over the turmoil water,
aud with a slow, licking movement a
tower Of fire lifted itself 100 feet in the
air from among the boiling waters.
A large main had been run out on the
river bed and the pressure had been
turned on. Soon from another pipe lev
eled over the water shot a lurid plume of
light. 1t changed to violet color, then to
saffron, to blue, to yellow, to green-each
as various chemicals were injected into the
pipe. Thus at the closing OF the display
FIVE great arrows OF fame were piercing
the darkness and a pyramid of writhing
FIRE was v%aulting from the bosom Of the
river. Then cannon doomed, the in
iantry fred many rounds, the gas was
turned off, darkness fell, and the visitors
went to bed.

81 like West Virginia" said a gem
ileman recently. ats physical feat
ures remind me of New England, and
its vegetation is about the same, save
the mountain land and rhododendron.
Up around Aurora you see rough
bearded men Looping by on stout horses,
looking for the world like some of
'Jeb' Stuart's cavalry on a forage. In
the valleys are the best farms, and they
generally belong to the Amish, a
strange, quiet sect OF Dutch, who wear
clothes fastened with hooks and eyes,
entirely destitute Of buttons. They
are all thrifty and well to do, close at
a bargain, but scrupulously honest.
The records of the Lutheran churcl at
Aurora were kept in German until
within a generation. That church
was established over $50 years ago.
The people Whereabouts dig their coal
from the hillsides, and it is cheaper to
dig it than TO cut wood from their own
forests.
Not one in the section l have trav-
eled through is wealthy or has much
money, yet no one suffers want. No
one is ever SO busy that he can't stop
work and go a-ishing. The store
keeper at a little village on the Poto-
mac used to close his place in the
afternoon to go with me and fish for
bass. They are all great hands to have
agencies for the sale of various articles.
l met several natives driving around
the country, ostensibly selling fertili-
zers, but none that / asked was ever
able TO name single customer. One
old chap had a little cobbler's shop.
He was a notary public and justice of
the peace, was postmaster, sold shoes,
ran an express business and had a
dozen agencies for agricultural imple-
ments, organs, pianos, carriages and
wagons, patent medicines and the in
evitable fertilizer. The man who
wouldn't do business with him didn't
have much business. Washington

There is, l think, no doubt that
Henry ~ of England and Robert
Bruce were lepers. About Henry III
| am not so sure. But l have tried to
discover any authority for what / am
quite sure / read some years ago-but
where l cannot remember-that AIDE
licia of Louvaine, second wife OF
Henry l, became a leper, and that
that was the real reason why, when a
happy wife and mother, she left her
second husband, William de Albini,
to whom she was tenderly attached,
and entered a convent. Miss Strick-
land makes no mention of it, and con
siders her conduct quite u%naccount-
able.-Notes and Queries.

The recent legislative contest didn't in
volve a very fat office but it is safe to say
that very few local contests have aroused
more interest. Accounts Of it have see
sawed day by day until now when both
candidates are at loss to determine exactly
where they stand. With both men it has
been a case OF alternate hope and fear
with each varying hour and they and
their friends will rest much better satisfied
when the ofisial count definitely decides
the matter.
