WASHINGTON MATTERS.
A NEW OFFICE.

WASHINGTON, July 15.-General A. B.
Nettleton, of Minnesota, has been Sc.
lected as assistant secretary of the treas,
ury under the provision of the executive
appropriation bill, increasing the numbe,
to three. The vacancy caused by the
transfer OF Assistant Secretary Tichenor
to the board of customs appraisers, will
probably be filled by the appointment OF
Special Agent Spalding, but no action
will be taken in this case until after the
senate shall have acted upon Col. Tiche-
nor's nomination.
THE ARMY APPOINTMENTS.
The president has sent to the senate
the following nominations: Col. Alex
ander J. D. McCook, of the 9th infantry,
to be brigadier general; Major Aug. J.
Robinson, quartermaster, to be deputy
quartermaster general with the rank Of
lieutenant colonel.
PENSION OFFICE CLERKS.
The house committee on appropriations
has reported to the house an urgent bill
making a gross appropriation Of 1886, 200
to defray the expense of employing 4G3
additional clerks in the pension bureau
l63 in the record and pension division of
the war department and ten in the second
auditors office. The object of increasing
the force is to provide for the speedy ad-
Indication of claims to be filed under the
dependent pension act, the clerks to be
employed on July Il next.
powELL's BLUFF.
The sundry civil bill may occupy a great
deal of time, possibly all of this week.
Ordinarily it is bill containing so many
provisions in which senators are inter-
ested, that it takes several days to dis
pose OF it. But this time it fails to ap-
propriate large SUM for irrigation pur-
poses, which is construed by friends OF
the geological survey as direct refec-
ton on Major Powell, its head. There is
also proposition to repeal the act OF
October, 1889, which withdrew from oc-
cupation, entry or settlement, all public
lands in the arid region. Either one of
these propositions is likely to provoke
bitter and long debate.
CAPITAL NOTES.
The house committee on military af-
fairs has directed favorable report on
the bill to revive the rank of lieutenant
general Of the army.
Favorable reports were also ordered
on bills authorizing the secretary of war
to employ twenty acting chaplains in the
army, and granting the Rio Grande
Southern Railroad company, right OF
way across Fort Lewis, Colo, military
reservation
Assistant Tichenor to-day decided on
the deportation to China at government
expense of the twenty-four Cinnamon re-
Gently convicted at Tucson, A. T., OF
having illegally entered the United States
from Mexico.

Immediately upon its receipt at the white
house. On the strength OF the passage
OF the bill silver has gone up to l09l4.

A Hundred Negroes Poisoned,

BIRMINGHAM, ALA, Sept. 16.-At a
big Church dinner, at Callerins, Davis
county, Sunday 100 negroes ate some
barbecued pork, which had been poisoned
with arsenic by unknown parties. Eight
of the negroes are dead, aud twenty 9th,
era are not expected to recover. Two died
few hours after eating the poisoned
meat, and six others yesterday.
The affair created the widest excite
ment among the negroes in that vicinity,
and every effort is being made to find the
perpetrator Of the horrible crime. The
negroes believe some secret enemy !, is
among them seeking to destroy them all
They have sworn to burn the guilty party
if he can be found.
A revival meeting was in progress al
the Church, and the members gave 8
dinner to ali visitors Sunday. Plenty Of
barbecued pork was provided, but those
who ate at the first table soon became
violently i'll, and discovered there was
something in the meat. The pork re-
NAMED untouched after that. Physicians
have examined.the meat and found ar

Deafness Can't be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only enc way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inaamed condl-
ton Of tie mucous lining of the Eusta,,
ian tube. When this tube gets inflamed
you have rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing, and when it is entirely closed,
deafness is the result, aud unless the in
tlammation can be taken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hearing
will he destroyed forever; nine cases out
of ten are caused by catarrh, which IS
nothing but an inhamcd condition of the
mucous surfaces. .
We will give one hundred dollars for
any case Of Deafness (caused by catarrh)
that we cannc. cure by taking Hairs Ca

Hardin belongs to two alliances, and he
says I can join as an honorary member
because I farmed for over ten years, and
Iabored hard and sweat much. and never
quit until I was superanruated. He says
that all such will be put on the retired

unfortunate. But I believe will wait
until the Alliance settles down on a com.
mon platform. Some of our alliances are
for General Gordon, and some against
him. The County Alliances must do as
the State Alliance says, and the State AL
liauces do as the National Alliance says; /;

A Mountain Of Flesh.

Comparatively few people know that

Houston County, yet such is, doubtless, !;
a fact. That is, we haven't heard of a.
larger one. -
She is negreas, is forty-seven years
old, the mother of eight children, and
lives on the Dick Johnson plantation,
near Grovania. Her name is Anroe.
Brown.
From actual test of weights and meas$
ures, the following figures were obtained
by party of gentlemen who saw her
last Sunday. -.
Her weight is 500 pounds. She is5
feet s inches in height; Z feet 2 inches-
is her circumference around the bust; 8
feet 4 incEes around the waist, and 80
inches around the arm near the shoul-

What Carmen Sylvia Looks Like.

Carmen Sylvia, who is now AZ, is the
daughter of Prince Herman Of WED. In
1861 Princess Elizabeth passed some time
at the court in Berlin, making the ac-
quaintance of Prince Charles in rather q
romantic manner. As her foot slipped in
going hastily down staircase, the gallant
young lieutenant caught her in his arms
and saved her from an ugly fall At the
time when she appeared at the court Of the
car, Carmen Sylvia possessed a tall and
finely nodded figure, large blue dreamy
eyes with world of poetry in their clear
depths, a classical mouth whose graceful
curves seemed formed but for smiles, rows of
pearly teeth, finely cut nose, a profusion
of light wavy hair and exquisitely formed
hands. Most of these beauties-with the
exception of the golden hair which
mothers sorrow has whitened - remain
to the queen, in addition to the dignified
and stately presence which has become &C
centuated in these later years. Indeed,
there is something about the queen which
at some moments reminds one of Sara
Bernhardt as Roiand's daughter-one of
the actress most touching and genuine
characters.
