Tho Bras. Mule Cure.

A traveller, recently returned from
Pekin, tells us that he saw a method of
cure which may be lev to some of our
readers. In a temple outside one of the
city gates is to be found a brass mule of
life size, supposed to have wonderful
healing properties. Patients suffering
from every imaginable disease seek this
temple to obtain a cure. The method
pursued is as follows: Supposing you
suffer from sciatica, you go with all
speed to this famous temple, and, having
discovered the particular part of the
brass mule corresponding to the painful
region of your W body, you must rub
the animal a certain number of times
and then with the same hand shampoo
your own disabled member, and then
well, then the pain goes.
The special feature of this method of
cure is its delightful simplicity. Is your
tooth aching? Just scrub tho mules
teeth and afterward your own, and
VOLTA! the cure is complete. Havo you
IN ulcer of the cornea? Pass the tips of
your fingers to and fro over the particu-
lar eyeball of the mule, and then with
we'll regulated pressure rub repeatedly
the afflicted eye. The mule has unhap-
PLY lost his sight during the many years
he has been engaged in his benevolent
work, the eyeballs, we are told, having
been gradually worm away, as the result
of constant friction, until now you have
only the empty orbits to operate upon.
The animal is patched in all directions
with fresh pieces of brass put on to cover
holes produced by the constant friction
of eager patients, and a new, perfectly
whole mule stands ready at hand await
ing tho day when his old colleague, hav-
ing fallen to pieces in the service, shall
give him an opportunity of likewise ben
citing posterity.-North China Medical

ter from Judge SmalIman to friend
of his here, which shows his action
in discharging the jury in the crimi-
nal case at Manchester last Saturday
cannot have the effect supposed.
The facts are, as sh own by his letter,
that two defendants jointly indicted
were jointly tried and one of them
convicted, but that the jury were not
able to agree as to the other defend
ant. The judge was not satisfied
with the conviction and gave that de-
PENDANT new trial. This made a
second trial necessary at the next
term, and therefore the subsequent
discharge of the jury could not affect
the matter of costs the one way or the
other. Judge Smallman's court was
to begin last Monday at McMinnville
and he did not discharge the jury un-
til the last train he could reach Nc.
Minnville upon was arriving. In
order to get through with the case
the judge held court Friday night un-
til 10 o'clock. We make this state
ment in justice to Judge Smallman,
whom we have always understood to
be faithful public servant"

A MALICIOUS ATTACK.

A special telegram was sent from
Manchester last Saturday night to the
Nashville American and Chattanoo>
ga Times, and published in those pa
pers on Sunday, severely criticising
Judge Smallman for adjourning court
there last Saturday in order to reach
home on that day.
The article gives out the impression
that by thus adjourning the court
and dlsmissing jury in a murder
case, Judge Smallman has put the
county to enormous expense for an
other trial, etc., and tries to make it
appear that had the Judge only held
the court a short while longer the case
could have been finally disposed OF
and cleared from the docket. The
manifest concealment of all the facts
in the case shows that it was prompt
ed entirely by malice and personal
enmity to Judge Smallman. The
American of Tuesday discredits its
correspondent by an apology for let.

The Campaign in East Tennessee.

We reprint below, from Thursdays
American, the report sent in by a
staff correspondent of that paper who
is swinging around the circle with
Mr.. Buchanan. This is but a fair
sample of the specials appearing In
the American every day. While we
are prepared to hear Of democratic
gains in East Tennessee, we are afraid
the Americans correspondent over
rates II to some extent. The republi>
cans of this state are too tricky for
any confidence to be placed in any of
their declarations to support demo-
cratic candidate, and democrats all
over the state should prepare to give
Buchanan the benefit of every demo-
cratic vote. The news is quite cheer
ing, however, and it is hoped will be
verified in November:
SwEETwATER, Sept. 1O.-The tri>
umphal career of Mr.. Buchanan was
continued by grand ovation today
at Athens, the county seat of Nc
MINI. From every direction they
came until thousands of both political
parties had come to listen to the
greetings of the standard bearer of
Tennessee democracy.
Mr.. Snodgrass, candidate for con-
gross, spoke in the morning and Mr.
Buchanan at o'clock. The former
was introduced by the county chair
man, w. H. Robson, and the latter
by Hon. ]. A. Turley, eX-railroad
commissioner. Both were in excel
lent form and made fine impressions.
The indications continue to be fa-
vorable to political upheaval in this
section of the state. Every outlook
is to this effect, and it will be the
farmers and laboring men who do it,
These classes, though heretofore affil-
iating with the republican party, are
now in line almost to man for Buch-
anan. In one district in Bradley
county there were seventy-four re-
publicans who declared openly their
intentions of voting for Buchanan.
If Middle and West Tennessee will
do their duty East Tennessee is ready
to stamp out of existence the last YES
tiage of republicanism in Tennessee
Buchanan and Snodgrass are to-
night at Sweetwater, the capital Of
Monroe county. They speak here to-
morrow.
In Morristown Saturday the demo.
cratic convention of the first district
will meet to consider the propriety o.
nominating a candidate against But
Ter and Taylor, who are now busily
engaged in cutting one another:
Threats and in tearing theirparty into

Mr.. BUCHANAN has now been
making speeches over the state for a
week, and never word on the sub
treasury issue has parted his lips. AS
the President of the F. & L. Union
Mr.. Buchanan championed this

democratic nominee for governor he
is dumb. The Alliance has catechis-
ed every democratic candidate for

Mr.. Buchanan answer his own cate.
chism. This sub-treasury scheme is

a bold, manly way and say so. If he
still clings to the delusion, the people
of the state should know it, in order
