From the 5th chapter OF Nehemiah. !

FROM the 0tA NhalNeT oi Neheihlti'l
And there was a great cry of the peo-
pie, and of their wives, against their
brethren the Jews.
For there were that said. We, our
sons, and our daughters, are many !;
therefore we take up our corn for them,
that we may cat and live.
3 Some also there were that said, We
have mortgaged our lands, vineyards,
and houses, that we might buy corn,
bcac.ssss1ss.ye l>f TIE doarth.
There were also thai said, We have
borrowed Money Ion tho kings tribute,
and that uljua orr lands and vineyards.
Yet now our ilosh $ as the flesh Of
our brethren, our children as their
children; and, 10, we bring into bond
age our sons and our daughters to be
servants, and some of our daughters
are brought into bondage already /:
neither is 1t in our power to redeem
them; for other men have our lands
and vineyards.
6 And was very angrT when l heard
their cry, and these woris.
Then l consulted with myself, and
| rebuked the mobiles, and the rulers, and
odld UNIV JilCAll, nc cAttCb uSttIy every
one of his brother. And | set great
assembly against them:
And | said unto them, We, after
our ability, have redeemed our breth-
rem the Jews, which were sold unto the
heather and will We even sell your
brethren or shall they be sold unto
us? Then held they their peace, and
found nothing to answer.
8 Also l said, 1t is not good that We
do: ought We not to walk in the fear of
our God, because of the reproach of
the heather our enemies
10 likewise, and my brethren, and
my servants. might exact of them
money and corn: | pray you, let us
leave off this usury.
IL Restore, pray you, to them, even
this day, their lands, their vineyards,
their oliveyards, and their houses, also
the hundredth part of the money, and
of the corn, the wine. and the oil, that
We exact of them.
II Then said they, We will restore
them, and will require nothing of them;
so will we do as thou sayest. Then
called the priests, and took an oath of
them, that they should do according to
this promise.

What Hon Il. Jack, OF Brandon, Says
About DIR. Robinson.
BRANDON, MISS, Oct. l, 1892.

About DIR. Robinson.
BRANDON, MISS, Oct. l, 1892.
This is to certify that | have known
DR.. S. w. Robinson ever since he was a
boy, and he has always been an advo-
cate of Prohibition and practical alb
stainer from alcoholic liquors.
In regard to the charge that he is an
infidel, of course l can't tell his belief,
but am free to say that during our
long acquaintance, l have never heard
him express any sentiment that could
construe into a disbelief in the Chris
tian religion. Irecollect spending one
night at his house, and the converse
ton turned on the subject of religion
and we discussed it freely, and from
that conversation, was of the opinion
that the Doctor was a strong believer
in the Bible.
/ understand that the Doctors con
duct in every day life conforms to the
precepts laid down in the Bible.
(Signed) e. JACK.
Hon. E. Jack is one of the oldest and
most respected citizens of Brandon
ex- Mayor of that town, member OF
the Methodist Church, and present

EDITOR OF THE LEADER: DR.. John A.
Brown, of Columbus, and who | stated
in my communication of last week
would vote the Prohibition ticket, de-
sires me to state in your next issue,
that when he told me he would do so he
should have stated that provided the
Peoples party failed to get the names
of the candidates and Electors upon
the ticket" in the county (which it was
thought it would not do, as there vas
no formal organization of the party
herel, but as he is now assured that the
names will appear; and, III as much as
he has taken very active part III the
interest of the Peoples party, he will
vote that ticket. At the same time he
Is in perfect sympathy with Prohibi-
ton and hopes to see the day when all
Christians will vote at the ballot box
es as they resolve in their church meet
ings; and all of the reform elements
in politics unite, when such cyclone
would be formed as would sweep the
two old whisky picked parties out Of
existence and give us pure government

\ WHISKY OUARTETTE.

/ Mr.. John S. Williams, the Democratic
nominee in the 9TH district, is an I'M
compromising saloon advocate; S. L.
Dodd, of Kosciusko, chairman of the
Democratic Congressional District
Committee, is pronounced anti-Pre-
hibitionist S. A. Jackson, chairman of
the Alfalfa county Democratic execu-
tive committee, is a rank whisky man
and is publicly charged by so citizens
of Attala county with running a blind
tiger; and by invitation of this same
Democratic county chairman, ex-Sena-
tor Pressly Groves, of Leake, who was
publicly denounced by a mass meeting
of the most reputable citizens of Alta
la county and called upon to resign his
seat in the State Senate in 1888, which
he had disgraced by scottish drunken
ness, is canvassing Leake and Alfalfa
counties for Williams. If this isn't a
combination sufficient to alarm and
disgust every Prohibitionist and Chris
tian voter in that district and cause
him to vote for Ratliff, who is a Prohi-
bitionist and Christian gentleman, then
indeed has sober reason lost her sway
and blind partisanship been en-
throned in her stead.

The State Democratic Committee of
Colorado has withdrawn its Democratic
electors and issued an address to the

Yes, it was Gerald Peel; he had been
notified at once of the accident, and
none had worked harder for the relief of
the sufferer. But he went home with the
rector and Mrs. Allonby now, and the
talk he had with her did her what no
physician could have done. She learnt
now that Gerald had not only married
Mary with full knowledge of all, but
that he had been bribing the man and
watching continually his movements, in
order to prevent his annoying Mary or
her mother.
at has been dreadful watch he
said, YEARLY and solemnly; but alittle
confidence on your part, mother, might
have saved us both much suffering"
And for answer she put the Saltham
papers in his hands, and said:
They are we'll yours. | never want
to see them again, Gerald. You have
been very good to me-"
Those men were heroes who stormed
the Malakoff and lit their cigars in the
trenches before Vicksburg, but private
life has heroes quite as great, and think
that Gerald Peel's fve-years' patience,
prudence and unselfish burden bearing
may make him the brother-knight even Of
the peerless Bayard.-LThe Ledger.

A TENDER-HEARTED BOY.
Popular DOctOring in Russia.

Slovo of Kiev reports some curious in
stances of popular doctoring in south
Russia. The rural dentist places his
patient upon little stool and examines
him. If an upper tooth is to be pulled
he performs the operation with simple
pair of tongs like that used by cobblers.
But if lower tooth is to be extracted
the operation is more complicated. The
tooth is tied very skilfully with violin
string. The other end of the string is
fastened to hook in the ceiling. Then
the stool is removed with jerk from be-
meath the patient, who falls, his tooth re-
naming ON the string, sometimes with
the flesh around it.
Intermittent fever is cured either by
live frogs or by fright. When the sick
ness breaks out the patient is made to
carry about him as many live frogs as
can be put in his clothes. fthat treat
ment does not help the patient his fellow
villagers try to frighten him. The most
popular method of doing that is known
by the name of Likaniye. A crowd of
men and women come into the house and
raise quarrel with the patient. They
treat him to the loudest and most offen-
sive terms of reproach. That naturally
irritates him, and he answers in similar
terms. The crowd takes offence at his
rude expressions and resolves to lynch
him. A rope is put around his neck and
he is dragged about until he is insensible
on account of fright.

Cloves Are Flowers.

Cloves are the unopened flower of a
small evergreen tree that resembles in
appearance the laurel or the bay. 1t is
native of the Malacca or Spice Islands,
but has been carried to all the warmer
parts of the world, and it is now culti-
waited in the tropical regions of America.
The flowers are small in size and grow
in large numbers in clusters to the very
end of the branches. The cloves we
use are the flowers gathered before they
are open and while they are still green.
After being gathered they are smoked
by wood fire and then dried in the sun.
Each Glove consists of two parts of q
round head, which are the four petals or
leaves of the flower rolled up, inclosing
number of small stalks or filaments !;
the other part of the Glove is terminated
with four points, and is, in fact, the flow
er cup of the unripe seed vessel. All
these parts may be distinctly seen if u
few cloves are soaked for short time
in hot water, when the leaves of the flow
ers soften and unroll.- Boston CONNER

There was fine powder in it, and he

up his nose. In five minutes he felt
relieved. "That's wonderful" he said.
"If you've got monopoly of that it's
the same as fortune to you"

Adulterating Tea.

Teas are not adulterated by inter-
mingling the leaves of other plants, as
the leaves of the tea plant itself, if
quality is not considered, can be gathered
in unlimited quantities. Nor are leaves
that have been already stepped ever
mixed with fresh tea to be sold again, it
being cheaper TO pick the fresh leaves.
Adulterants are only used to give color,
in order to please the eye of the con-
sumer, and their use is a practice that all
connected with the business would will
lingly discontinue. The japanese, some
years since, sent over large consignments
of sun dried leaves, free from coloring
matter and of very good quality, but they
proved to be unstable until they were
colored, which was reluctantly done by
the merchants here.-[Ne Orleans

The Irrepressible Oyster.

A new growth of oysters has been dis
covered off Hackett's Point, Chesapeake
Bay. Recently one of the crew of a
State police boat, for the sake of an ex-
pertinent, threw dredge overheard on a
spot where it was supposed no oysters
had been for fifteen years. On with
drawing the dredge it contained num-
Der of shells, and attached to each was q
healthy-looking oyster an inch or more
in size. 1t is said the location, known as
Hackett's Point Sand, was once thriv-
ing oyster bed, but was destroyed about
fifteen years ago to supply vessels which
came here to buy for planting purposes.
The bed had not been disturbed for
several years, and it is said that if other
oyster grounds in the Chesapeake Bay
are let alone for u similar period, the
same favorable results will follow. -

Huge Stones From the Moon.

In catalogue of Mexican meteoriter
prepared by NJ. Antonio del Castillo one
mass is mentioned which exploded in the
air and fell in widely dispersed frag-
ments, portions of it being found in three
plac at the angles of triangle whose
two longer sides were some fifty-fve and
thirty-fve miles in length. In one of
these places two plates of stone were
discovered, lying about 250 yards apart,
which had evidently once formed one
huge block. Measurements and esti-
nations place the combined weight of
the two blocks at eighty tons. In this
one shower of "moon stones" according

5000 tons of rocks fell.-[St. Louis Re-
