BLOOD AND THUNDER.
A DEMOCRATIC HOWL. HOW THE
NEGRO IS REGARDED SOUTH.
DON'T SUBMIT TO IT:
(From the Vicksburg Business.)

(From the Vicksburg Business.)
The appointment of Jim Hill,
the saddIe-colored politician who
is a cronic contestant of Gen. T.
G. Catchings' seat in Congress,
was nominated to be the Postmas-
ter at VicksbuIg Thursday.
This ls the latest indignity of
the Harrison administration and
should not be submitted to by the
people of Vicksburg. There were
plenty of white Republicans in
Vicksburg who would have been
acceptable to the whole communi-
ty and, laying politics aside, these
gentlemen ale as popular as any
citizens. In the category we can
mention Geo. r. Hardy, Judge
Frederic Speed, L. w. Swafford,
John A. Galbreath, NJ. j. Mulvi-
hill, R. F. Beck, Capt, Chas. Kettle,
or any white republican in the C ~,
all of whom are counted among
our best citizens. But this negro,
contesting the seat Of Gener |
Cstchings Year after year, which
even this Congress refused to give
him, this despised hanger-on at
Washington, slinkingaround there
unnoticed, is the one picked out
by the nonenity in the White
House to dispense the government
patronage of Mississippi to white
people. Seeing that the admins
tration is on It's last legs and that
no more patronage will I've dis
pensed in the Republican method
for many years to come, alter next
year, Hill wanted the ducats in
the post Office and takes the Office
for himself, relying on civil SER
vice rules to keep 1t, even under a
democratic president. That could,
however, never be, for on the
ground of offensive partizanship
he could be yanked out IN twenty
four hours after the democratic
president takes his seat.

Care Of the Teeth,

Nothing Is more conducive to sweet
ness of breath, and consequently of
general health of the mouth, than to
brush the teeth regularly shortly before
retiring, that all particles of food, a.
well as the natural secretions, may be
removed. CASTLE soap is the best
which can be used for cleansing the
mouth, with which a little magnesia
may be employed; solution Of oil Of
peppermint in water makes an agree.
able and useful mouth wash; while q
silken thread may be employed to
cleanse the spaces between the teeth
which can be effectively reached in no
other way. A fine tooth powder can
bemade of six ounces of prepared chalk,
cassia powder half an ounce and an
ounce of orris root. These are to be
well mixed, and may be colored with
red lake or any other innocent sub
stance, according to the fancy. Good

NOiseless Carriages,

A large number of carriages of New
York are now equipped with rubber
tires nearly two inches thick and com
posed of many layers of rubber of vari-
GUS degrees of springiness. Carriages
thus equipped are able to roll over the
stones without the deafening clatter
and jerkiness which results when iron
tiers are used. In the attention which
people pay to their private stables New
York is making rapid strides in an up
ward way.
There is more interest now taken in
the horse show than there is in the
opera, and the breeding and training
OF carriage horses has been taken up by
enthusiastic millionaires without num-
Der. The assertion that we go to Eng
land for snowy trappings for private
stables is no longer true. American
carriages have all taken prizes in Euro
pean fairs, and the crack coaches in
the Coaching club, as well as the most
widely admired dog carts and brough-
ans, are of native manufacture They
have taken up the American buggy in
England and France, just as we have
adopted the dog carts and tilbury here.

Meaning of the Word Cigar"

In the first place the word 'cigar" is
of modern date, and is derived from
the fact that when the Spaniards first
smoked cigars they were smoked in the
orchard, or ''cigarral, so called from
its being the abiding place of those
soothing, sleep producing insects tho
balm crickets Hence "cigarro," a
small roll; 'cigarron," Il large roll, and
ultimately cigar" linked even in name
with the most soothing, dreamy sound
In nature
The first cigars made by the Span
iards were OF tobacco loosely rolled and
held together by the silken lining of
corn shucks, and always with straw
running through the center, to be with
drawn before smoking, SO as to secure
a good draught. These were first in
troduced into England in 1857 by
the son of Spanish grandee visiting
London, and from there spread all
throughs Europe. This is the history
of the birth of the cigar into civiliza-
ton, but we must look considerably
further back to find the first records,
and then can find no origin, but only
data OF its being in existence. New

Why Politicians Are Big Men.


There is no more trying business than
politics. Men Of long experience in the
elections in New York watch the lead
ers of the different parties with an in
terest that is more or less grewsome.
The steady, interminable and violent
wear and tear on the men who head
the big political movements tell on
their looks, weight and manner so
rapidly that the most sturdy constitu-
tons would break down under it if it
were not for the short period during
which the excitement lasts.
The men who are so fond of tracing
the subtle connection between the
physical appearance Of man and his
mental occupations should consider
that one reason why the successful
New York politician is always repre-
sented as a broad shouldered, power
fully built man, with a thick neck, a
round head and a plentiful supply Of
strength is because about the only sue.
cessful ward workers in town who are
able to hold their own as the years roll
by must have a strong physique. New

An Odd Occurrence.

One night young woman who is
somewhat dependent upon her eye
glasses to get her through the world
without cropping took Madison ave-
nue. horse car out to Seventy eighth
street. When she reached her destina-
ton her glasses were gone. Nearly
three hours later she took a Madison
avenue car back down town. As she
stepped on to the platform something
glistening caught her eye. She bent
over. The thing looked like pair of
glasses She picked them up. They
were glasses-and they were her very
own, unbroken. save for the cord that
had let them fall from her neck. The
car was evidently the same one in
which she had come out, and it had
made one or two long trips since then,
down to the postoflice and back. Yet
the glasses had lain there on the real
platform, with all the passengers step
ping in and out, waiting for just herself
to come and pick them up. New York

One of Many.

One Of those healthy types of the
street crier with rasping voice and stem
torian lung was passing along tie
streets warbling his dulcet market song.
The song was peculiar and made pass
ers by stop and try to think out what
the crier was trying to sell, and whether
his cry was in English or in old time
Indian Mani attanese. "A-live! alive ~
was his cry; ''all a-live!'' Then there
was silence for moment and the cricr
resumed his cry with Soft shell crabs
all alive, and the pedestrians, much
relieved to find out what it was that
was ''all alive" passed on.-New York

pro.i.cinp Fu., with Water.

A coal washing plant has been erect
ed at a colliery in Yorkshire, England.
The plant has capacity of 400 tons
per day, but has dealt with 500 tons by
the vet process The system adopted
Is carefully sizing the smudge and auto
matically washing and rewashing after
crushing the various sizes. The plant
is driven by 100 horse power steam
engine, and the water used in the proc
ess of washing is circulated by means
ofa powerful centrifugal pump which,
when in full work, circulates nearly
five tons of water per minute. The OBJ
ject in erecting this plant was to pro-
duce high class coke out of mixture
of very dirty hard and soft smudge.
The coke produced is Of uniform quail.
ity, and the ash in the coke is steadily
kept below 4 per cent. Besides the
preparation Of the smudge for the coke
ovens a quantity Of small peat suitable
for fuel is produced by the washer

Table Manners.

A napkin is not intended to be used
as bib. The fashion of pinning it
about ones neck is obsolete, and only
permissible in the very young or those
quite beyond the pale of middle age,
who are unable to measure accurately
the distance between the cup and the
lip.
1t is not polite for a hostess to press
the guest to be helped again" She
should ignore the fact of the previous
helping, and simply say, "Shall help
you to so and soP
A habit Of passing things at table
savors too strongly of an acquaintance
with the boarding house, this handing
Of dishes being the prerogative of the

Scientific Study Of Drugs.

But little is known of the action of
drugs on the human body in health
For number of years an English BIZ
ologist, Mr.. W, Sharp, has been expert
menting to determine this action, using
different quantities of the same drug,
and he has reached some interesting
conclusions, including the following
The smallest doses used in these exper.
iments have power to act upon the liv-
ing human body; the commonly re-
ceived opinion that the actions of drugs
are simply increased in degree and not
altered in character by increasing the
dose is an error; the actions of drugs
are sufficiently distinct to admit OF
classification. -Arkansaw Traveller.

Thernpsutiss Of Asthna.

In lecture on the therapeutics Of
asthma Professor Dieulafoy gives the
points of his method, which consists at
the beginning Of the attack In paint
Ing the inside of the nostrils as high up
a. possible with a camel hair brush
dipped in a solution of hydrochlorate
of cocaine-1 in 20-or, if preferred,
the solution may be sprayed into the
nose and throat for four or five min
lkes at time with a tablespoonful OF
the above solution; if this does not
succeed the patient is to inhale from
6 to ~ drops of pyridine sprinkled on
handkerchief. The cocaine and the
pyridine may be employed simultane-
ously.
When the attack is at its acme the
following solution may be injected by
podermically: Ten centigrans hydro
chlorate of morphia and 10 grams dis
titled water, Of which hall a syringeful
is to be injected; repeated in quarter
OF an hour II necessary. Inc remedy
par excellence for asthma, says Profess
sor Dieulafoy, is the iodide of potas-
sum, given in doses of from 20 to 30
grains daily, but beginning with 8
grains only, to be gradually increased.
To combat the diathesis the patient
should take from Is to 80 grains iodide
of potassium daily for Is days, then re.
place the iodide by pills composed OF
powdered belladonna leaves and the
extract of belladonna, of each grains,
made into 20 pills, the patient at the
same time to take daily after the princi
pal meal teaspoonful of solution Of
l grain arseniate soda and 2 IL fluid
ounces distilled water. Paris Letter.

Nutmegs and mace, two Of the prin-
cipai spices of commerce, grow in tho
same pod. The tiny tree upon which
they grow is almost identical with .
pear tree two or three years old. The
nutmeg is the center or seed of tho
fruit, which is about the size of an Or
binary hens egg. The best comparison
of tho fruit would be with the hickory
nut. In ripening the outside cracks
open, showing the nutmeg inclosed in
thin lacy covering, which is the mace.
1t is found in all the tropical islands Of
America and Asia the most fruitful
trees growing in Jamaica, some Of them
yielding as many as 5000 nutmegs in q
year.-New York Ledger.
