The Bourbons continue to make a
great howl over Gen. Weayer's hav-
ing been a member of the Greenback
party, but when you mention the fact
that Adlai Stevenson, their candi-
date for Vice President, was lead
ing Greenbacker, they think there is
nothing wrong in it. Gen. Weaver
and MIR. Stevenson were Greenback
members of Congress as late as 1879
and stood shoulder to shoulder togeth.

Rev. j. H. Gambrell, the nominee OF

decided to decline the nomination, be
cause he says he is confident that the
two parties will elect their man, and he
don't want to give up his pastorate for
seat in congress. No such case is ON
record in the history of this or any
other State. Mr.. Gambrel says if he
was sure he would not be elected he
would stay in the race, but with the
present outlook he must decline

LESSER OF TWO EVILS.
Why Chinese Pirates Welcome the In
PRODUCTION of the GuilIotine.


1t is said that the guillotine has recently
been introduced by the French into their
colony Of ToHquin. The French, as all the
plenty Of work TO do in the way Of exter-
minating piracyIn that vast and as yet IN
TemuneTatiye possession. And the method
by which they endeavor to exterminate the
pirate (when they catch him, which, as
rule. they do noD is that of deeapitaton.
That ceremony has hitherto been performed
IN the primitive and rather barbar0us native
way. The culprit. being placed IN con-
venient position. used TO light cigarette
and wait for the executioner to take shot
at his neck with big sword. Some
times the headsman aimed straight and
sometimes he did not, and feeling had long
existed among the gentlemen OF the pratt
cal profession that an execution thus exc
cuted was distinctly an unpleasant process
for the patient. Consequently the intro
duction OF the wood Of justice" has by no
means produced the effect which the French
authorities desired and expected. Instead
of being impress ed with the horror of this
M ode of execution the natives Of TonQnin
are said TO be highly delighted with 10. In
fact, they regard the guillotine as most
ingenious article de Paris. and they have
already witnessed one execution with every
demonstration of enthusiasm. Dying, they
say, 10 made so delightfully."- easy by this
admirable invention Of the superior Euro
pean intelligence. The result Is that con-
siderable satisfaction is expressed In pratt
cal circles, and IL Is confidently anticipated
that piracy will shortly increase very con-
siderably. as nobody in Tonquin would
mind being abbreviated instantaneously by
the guillotiDe. Death. In short, has lost
most of its terror because the process OF
diving has been rendered so simple.

lowered around ami did lwhat they could.
In exactly two hours ana half the man
was dead. The kind-hearted native heard
of it, shrugged his shoulders and went his
way.
On the following day a native la borer
was very badly bitten by rattlesnake near
the same place. He WAS not of sufficient
acrount for the well-paid English doctor
to bother with. so the native laborcIs car
ried him off to house and turned all the
women out and sent for herbs and leaves
and such things. They worked at him for
an hour or so in the way that the natives
and Indians Know. and the next day he
was back at work as though nothing had
happened. The thick-beaded Engishmen
could not explain this, and they cannot do
so even TO this day.
Here is another story on the same SUBJ
ject: A native womans ten-year-old son
was bitten most frightfully by some sort OF
venomous serpent. Did she rush up to
him. clasp him in her arms and try TO cure
him? Not she. The only thing that she
did was TO send for her husband and TO hide
herself and her female servants far away
from the suffering lads presence. Her
husband aud neighbOr or two hustled
about and looked after the boy. and Ii was
only on the third day thai she looked upon
her son. If she had looked upon him while
the snakes poison was ia his blood the ma
tiyes had no doubt her eyes would have
caused him 10 votait blood and die. ct
this woman loved her boy with all
mothers devotion.

From various Investigations made of the

$50 examinations among Indian children,
100 OF these being boys. Researches of this
character show that in a selection of 100
white boys from various parts of the United
States, at least FIVE of the number would
have proved color blind. Among all these
Indian boys not a single case of the kind
was discovered. Some years ago an ex-
animation by DR.. Fox Of $50 Indian boys
resulted, he states. In the discovery that
two were color blind-a very low percentage
when compared with the whites-whiie
