A most elaborate publication is
about to be made of the life and1et-
ters of Emma, Lady Hamilton, the
frail beauty whom LORD Nelson, on
the eve of the battle of Trafalgar,
left as legacy ito his king and to
his country" with the entreaty that
they should give her an ample pro-
vision to maintain her rank in life.
His dying request remained unheed-
ed. Honors and rewards were show
cred Upon his family, with whom
throughout his life lie had lived on
terms that were the reverse Of cordial.
An earldom was conferred ON his
brother, with revenue Of $4,000 a
year; $50, 900 was voted to each of
his visters, and $500, 900 was assigned
by the government for the purchase
of an estate to remain in the family.
Lady Hamilton and her daughter,
Horatia, who was the child Of Nelson,
were ignored and passed over. Twenty
years after the battle Of Trafalgar an
unknown woman, stilf preserving the
remains Of extraordinary beauty, died
at Calais, where for several years.,
with reduced means, she had sought
an obscure asylum. After her de-
cease the landlord discovered from
her papers that the stranger who was
buried by public charity in a pauper's
grave was no other than Lady Ham.
ilton, who had been in succession a
servant girl, a famous actress, the
wife Of an ambassador, the favorite
friend and companion of the Queen
of Naples and the adored annie of
England's most famous admiral.

A COTTON-PICKING MACHINE.

What promises to be one Of the
greatest invention Of modern times is
the Wallis-Lispenard cotton-picker
that has just been exhibited in a cot
ton field near Atlanta, Ga. For some
time there have been rumors floating
around relative to the perfection Of
the cotton picker. Hundreds of cot
ton growers from different parts of
the South we're at the Piedmont Ex-
position and witnessed a public test
Of the machine. Its workings were
perfect from a mechanical stand dpoint,
and the picker performed its work in
a satisfactory manner. Great interest
is manifested by cotton-growers every
where. From present indications it
is thought that the next years crop
of cotton will be picked to great
extent by cotton pickers.
The Angus Campbell company, of
Waco, Texas, is also engaged in the
manufacture of cotton-picking ma
chimes, and has made several very
satisfactory exhibitions of the work.
ings of the machine in the cotton
fields around Waco. Mr.. Campbell
expects to have his machine perfected
for use in time for the next crop Of
cotton, and claims that two horses and
a driver, with his machine, will do
the work Of twenty men.

appearance and manner every day,
says the New York Recorder. He Is
one Of the best-iked young men in
New York in spite of his modest and re-

his acquaintances. His friends admire
him most for the grit he showed inn
mediately after his fathers death.

Dom Pedro, ex-emperor Of Brazil. pre-.
sented three medals to Drs. Simmola,
Versailles, 2 few days ago. which are in
many ways unique. They have on one
side the portrait Of Dom Pedro, while on
the other is the inscription: 81. Presented j
to Dr.. by the BRAZILIAN people. out
Of gratitude for saving the precious .ifes
Of their paternel emperor" while the
medals were being prepared, the Brazi-
1ians drove their .'paternal emperor
from the country. They were finished =
few weeks ago. under the republic. and
and were sent to the yex-emperor who had
ordered them. through the Academy soK
Sciences in Rio Janeiro. No one. proba-
bly,, appreciated more deeply than Dom
Pedro the irony of the inscription.

BIGoTRY AND DOODLE.

The two most efficient factors in
the Iowa campaign on the Republi-
can side were bigotry and Doodle.
The Republicans Sought to effect a
combination of God and mammon
which would prove irresistible.
Every church that could be was
perverted to the uses OF the Republi-
can party. Assuming that prohibi-
ton and temperance were identical.
and that whoever opposed the first
was equally opposed to the latter, the
pulpit partisans every Sunday de-
nounced the Democrats as publicans
and sinners, and insisted upon Il vote
for the Republican candidates as in
the interest Of God and morality, and
did it with as much JUNCTION and fer
vor as if to SO vote was one Of the
sacraments of the church. In the
pulpits prostituted to partisan .pur-
poses there was far greater violence of
temper and Of speech manifested
than upon the hustings. It must be
said to the credit of the lay politicians
among the Iowa Republicans that
they abandoned altogether to their
clerical associates the work of personal
defamation of candidates.
But while the clerical politicians
were thus firing the zeal Of fanatscism
and bigotry from the pulpits their
lay brethren were at work outside on
a very different clay" They were
employing in every possible way the
persuasive power Of the almighty dol
lar AS illustrating their resources
in this respect and the extent to which
they were prepared to go in procuring
votes by the use of money, it is only
necessary to state that the Republi-
can state committee furnished the stu
dents in the different colleges of the
state, such Of them as would take it,
with money necessary to pay their
expenses homeward and return, for
the purpose Of getting their votes.
How far such practice is removed
from bribery is question of casuistry
into which we do not care to enter at
this time.-St. Louis Republic.

SEATS IN THE u. s. SENATE

Senator Palmer of IIlinoss, while at
the Capitol recently looking in on the
Supreme Court and other familiar
scenes, ran against Senator Cullom,.
who took. his colleague to the Senate
chamber. where he some time ago
was assigned to seat on the Demo-
cratic side, says a Washington special
to the Chicago Tribune. Its a pretty
good seat for newcomer, but is not
on the front row. Senator Palmer
made known his thanks, but was puz-
.zled to know why some pains had to
be taken in advance.
Il thought he remarked, "that
Everybody had an equal chance at the
beginning of the session.
"Not at all" replied Senator Cul-
lom; "It's a question of time to get a
good seat After a term or two q
Senator may succeed in edging up
pretty we'll to the front, but not be-
fore then. If you know any ybody who
is going to die within a year or so you
can put in an application with the
sergeant-at-arms for his seat when it
becomes vacant" b.
81 shouldn't think sick man would
like that, said Senator Palmer.
Probably he wouldn't" replied
Senator Cullom, ''but it has been
DONE"
The Senator's statement may have
been a trife exaggerated, yet there
have been cases where requests wer.
fled for a deceased colleagues desl

PRESIDENT GoMPERs TO MR..
JyAES.

Css.0.Lto.
Samuel ,Gompers. president of the
American Federation Of Labor. has
written the following letter to Mr.. w.
w. Jones, general organizer of the
A. F. Of L., New Orleans:
New YORK, Nov. 4, 1891. j..
Dear Sir and Brother-Information
reaches me that the people of Lou
isiana are now engaged in terrific
struggle to rid themselves from one
of the most corrupt and gambling in-
stitutions that it has ever been the
lot of a people to be compelled to
meet-the Louisiana Lottery.
Upon no class of people has that
institution so damnable and degrad-
ing an influence, so fearful ten
dency to impoverish than the wage
workers. I am fully aware that the
organized workingmen of Louisiana
are keenly alive to the situation, and
will endeayor to do all that they pos
sibly can to not only curb the power
but to crush out the hydra-headed
lottery monster.
Before the working people can hope
to begin their movement to attain a
fair degree of success in their eco
nomic reforms and social advantages
resultant from organization, it will be
absolutely necessary for them to wipe
out that gambling iniquity which is
eudeavoring to spread out its fan2s
and poison the body polite, not
only Of their own state, but of the
country.
have great faith in the good peo-
pie Of Louisiana, and urge you and
our friends to do everything within
their power to rally around one COM
mon standard and rout that devilish
scheme to rob, defraud and degrade
them.
Lest some may question my right to
interfere in a subject that upon its
face interests only the people Of your
state, let ne say that as an executive
officer of the American Federation Of
Labor I would be recreaut to the trust
reposed in me, violating my oath Of
office and stunted in my perception of
a fearful condition were l not to give
expression to my utter contempt and
adherence for the despicable lottery
schemers aud the corruptors Of the
morals of the people.
beg of you to do all in your power
to arouse a spirit of activity and earn
estness among the organized working
men of New Orleans to once for all
drive the Louisiana Lottery company
out of your state, so that the fair
name of your people may not be
smirched by this professional gamb-
ling scheme. Fraternally yours,

Pres. A. T. of L.

FARMING a NOBL =

valid claims to being honest metlv md
we are told that an honest man is tfes
noblest work of God. This being
true, you constitute class Of naturess
noblemen. Men who have attaine ~
the summit Of ambition in other walks
of life are prone to ask, "ls life4wortll

work is ended.
Allen G. Thurman, honored as Few
men are, respected more than Is the
wont of the populace to respect one
who has been successful as iawyer.
honored as d politician, admEsd as g
representative citizen said i few
years ago that he would have been "a
better and purer man had he always
remained farmer. This is the testi-
mony Of man of whom even his po-
litical enemies havs said, "He was
the noblest Roman Of them all. .'
There is an atmosphere surrounding
farm life that is ennobling. It is
merely the grumbler who fails to ap-
preciate the country. It must be re-
membered. too,, that malcontents ex-s

The farmer may dignity his calling
by his own personal demeanor, which
will obtain the approval Of the best
element in all circles, even though Il
may provoke litter from the city
nimcompoops. A true philanthropist,
too, is the farmer, producing bread,
meat, clothing and many comforts
and luxuries for every class Of in
habitants on the globe; nor does he

of starving poor in cities, perhaps.

with gold or silver. Again, the far

parents were tillers Of the sssoil, and
who knows but what the tempter who
wrought their downfall may have been
