EDITOR MARLBORO DEMOCRAT ~
Red Hill Democratic Club met July S,
elected its old officers, a solid Tillman
delegation to the County Convention
adopted the convention instead OF the
primary plan, which was followed by
loud cheers for Tillman by every mem.
Der Of the Club. The ant's were in =
very large minority.
We 'Tlllman men arc democrats.
And are true as steel can be;
Reform we want, reform we'll have.
And have it free from "rlngsters" salye
We can't be bought, nor can't be sold,
Neither the young, nor cen the old
"Farmers are fools, the ring men said,
But this is taify, and is dead.
The anti's will be apt to see,
That they'll from ''ring rule" have to flee;
They can't elect their ringster men,
But we'll elect dear Captain Ben.
Farmers all want that which is right,
And for it they will always fight;
they want some meat, and not all bone,
That they may grow and get full grown.
We want free money--silvcr, gold
ltingsters oppose it, we are told
But VIC will have it our way,
BY working for it night and day.
We've got the inside track today,
So ring men and ring papers say
II this new statement is fact,
1t proves that there's no outside track.
'Tis strange. and we can't think it right,
For. those who're wrong to rule Tor spite,
And rule Tor their own pockets TOO,
And rob the Gcntiles and the lew,
II men who're sanctihed should cling
10 the wrong, and to the ring,
They should be named old Bill Paddy,
Who'd tell more lies than his daddy.
81 promise you that will do"
And fail to do it. is so true,
And such course will trouble bring,
In or out Of any ring.
d. r. Tillman takes the lead,
Nnd VIII get the thing we need,
When he sits on that big chair,
In Columbia's bfacing air.
We must watch both State ard Nation.
And must work like al! creation,
And it must meet our appreciation

EMPEROR AND MISER.
How an Avaricious Fellow Was Made T.
Disgorge II Handsome Sum.

How an Avaricious Fellow Was Made to
Disgorge Handsome Sum.
One thing the Emperor Nicholas held
in particular aversion, and that was
avarice as trait of wealthy people. He
was once travelling with rich gentle
man whom he had often bantered upon
course of the journey the carriage broke
down and had to be left behind for re-
pairs. The travellers went forward on
foot, and presently came to a spot
where the road was flooded to a con-
siderable depth.
The Emperor called road laborer
and asked if he would carry him through
the water.
"Why not?" said the laborer, and
forthwith he took the monarch in his
arms and conveyed him safely across.
The Emperor gave him two gold
pieces and whispered: "Now go and
fetch the other gentleman, but when
you have got halfway through the
water, stand still and ask him how
much he intends to give YOU"
The man did as was told, and in the
middle of the water demanded how
much he was to get for his labor.
"You rascal" cried the miser, "the
other gentleman paid for us both. 1
saw him, you impudent swindler! You
shall not have another farthing."
"What does he offer?" called the EN-
peror.
Says you paid for him, and he won't
give farthing," replied the laborer
"Then drop him into the water" said
Nicholas.
The man made a movement to obey,
but his intended victim held on tightly,
and exclaimed: 81 will give you three
rublesr
"Ask three hundred, interposed the
Emperor, laughing, "hes we'll able to
pay it,"
The terrified rider clung still more
closely to his bearer, while he protested
against such extortion. The Emperor
by gestures encouraged the man to re-
main firm.
"Well," exclaimed the miser at last,
''carry me across. will pay you when
we get there"
Don't you trust him." shouted the
Emperor, convulsed with laughter at
the scene; make him pay at once!"
And SO it was done. The anxious
traveller, still hanging over the water,
took out his pocket-book and handed
the countryman three hundred rubles.

An Anglo-Ind,an Heroine.

Anglo-Indian circles in Behar and
Bengal are loudly sounding the praises
of Miss Morey, whose courageous con-
duct has in all probability saved the
life of her father, a well-known planter
and sportsman in that district Mr..
Morey was out hunting, attended by
his daughter on horseback, when boar
suddenly sprang from the jungle, and,
making for Mr. Morey, threw over both
horse and rider with severe crash.
The brute was on the point of tearing
his victims with his formidable tusks,
when this heroic young lady sprapg to
the ground and placed herself between
the boar and her insensible father. Miss
Morey was wholly unarmed, and there
fore powerless to protect herself; but
fortunately she had with her a large
greyhound, who, making straight for
the boar, attracted his attention and
drew him away. Running thereupon to
the nearest pool, Miss Morey filled her
topee with water, by the aid of which
she finally succeeded in bringing her
father round.-London Daily News

CURIOUS SEIZURES.

Singular Liquors inaL Pass Through the
New York Custom House.
The custom house occasionally affords
interesting giimpses into the vast for
eign life Of the United States Recently
while calling upon friend, who holds
responsible. position in that circum.
locutory institution, he showed me sam
pies of large number of invoices Of
liquors which had recently been i'm.
ported. Every one would puzzle the
average man about town. One was a
greenish-y yellow fluid called slivovitsch
1t comes from Austria and the Balkan
states, and is made from small wild
plum which grows in that district. II
is fiery and to Yankee palate very dis.
agreeable, but is extremely popular with
the Hungarians and Wallaks.
A suggestion of the Holy Land was
given by samples of honey wine, pass
over honey wine and Jerusalem plum
brandy. The first and second were
sweet and odorous, but trifle insipid.
In composition they are like the me.
theglin and honey mead used in England
during the middle ages. The brandy
was raw and almost vitriolic. The three
stimulants are consumed by the Slovaks
and Polaks from Russia and the Greeks
and Syrians from Asia Minor.
Specimens of pulque and mescal
showed that Mexico has some influence
upon its sister republic. The former is
a beer made from cactus, and tastes
somewhat like that gaseous German hor-
ror, Weiss-bier. 1t is far stronger,
however, and is said to produce the most
intense drunkenness known to erring
man. The mescal is the distillate of
pulque, and can he described only by
the word atrocious.
The Scandinavians show their love of
the fatherland by unceasing importa-
tions of Christiania beer, Swedish
punch, and korn brandtvin. The beer
is light, pleasant and wholesome; the
punch is aromatic savory, but so sweet
as to be insipid: the korn brandtvin is
not corn brandy, as the name literally
translated would imply, but a whisky
made from rye, oats and barley. 1t is
rich in fusel oil and consequently head
ache.
From Russia every now and then
comes vodka or wodky, an impure, reek-
ing, strong alcohol; from Central Amer
lea some delicious cordials made out of
pineapple, guava, and banana: from
China not less than fifty stimulants
running from tea wine, rosebud wine
and almond beer to heavy millet whisky
and rice brandy; from Turkey some
liquid for making sher'bet, and from
Brazil lavangina, or orange-peel gin.
Over 5000 different kinds OF stimulants
are known and recorded in the custom
house, of which $500 were unknown to
Americans fifteen years ago. = N. Y.

WOMEN PoIsoNERs.
A Case Which Makes the Legends q
Locusta Possible.


Locusta Possible.
Modern historians distrust the stories
of the Roman poisoner Locusta, and OF
the women who in Italy sold aqua tofana
as the best means of satisfying jealousy
or hate or greed; but the Hungarian
tribunals are trying case which makes
all those legends possible. No less than
ten women in the town of Mitrovitz are
charged with poisoning their husbands
with arsenic obtained from fly papers,
and they are only section of the
women originally arrested or suspected.
They were all apparently taught by a
single women, Esther Sarac, local
witch or herbalist, who deliberately In
structed at least one disciple, and proba-
bly, many more. The poisonings, some
sixty in number, we're done with little
ution, and cover space of more
than ten years, during all OF which
time vague suspicion had been float
ing about. The evidence against the
women under trial is said to be over
whelming, and most of them have saved
trouble by pleading guilty. They are
all peasants, and probably of low
order Of intelligence; but the revelation
throws strange light on the true value
of much of modern progress. In
Hungary, at all events, 1t does not pre-
vent epidemics OF crime, though no
doubt the Improvement of chemical
analysis helps the authorities in detect
ing and publishing the guilty. -Specta'

JIMMY KEPT HIS SEAT,
And just Because His Mother Knew How
To Pratact the Pnnr RoY.

And just Because His Mother Knew How
to Protect the Poor Boy.
A bony, thin-lipped and hatchet-faced
little women, with swapping black eyes
and wiry red hair sat on State street
car, with an overgrown cub of boy of
about six years by her side. She had
paid full fare for the boy, but the con-
ductor had. perhaps forgotten the fact,
for when lady stopped the car he said
to the mother of the boy:
"Please let this lady sit where that
boy Is, madam"
"What?" screeched out the woman
in a voice that fairly made the spines Of
every passenger on the car tingle,S
make my boy give up his seat? / think
l see myself a-doin' any thing of that
sort! think 1 dol I'll let you know
that I've paid for this boy and l amt
goin' to give up his seat to nobody! No,
sir, / just anti o, I'll let ye know who
yer talkin' to! Ye can't bulldoze me!
I've paid his fare an he'll set jest where
he is, an dare ye to try to make him
git up! I'll sue this compny if
ye do, If it takes tho last cent
I've got on earth and have
to borrow more! I'll do it! Ye needn't
look at me like that! ! amt afeerd OF
ye! know what my rights air an I'll
stick up fer 'em too! Ketch me payin'
fare fer boy O. mine an then maxim

ductor never drawed breath that could
make me do It'll You're no bizness takin'

'em what's what! I'll let 'sm know

She rode clear to the end OF the line
and she talked like that every foot OF
the way, abashing and confusing the
poor conductor so that no rung in fifteen
fares by mistake and had them to pay
when his trip was done. And Jimmy
kept his scat? Indeed Jimmy did
