The Cart Before the Horse.

The Atlanta journal publishes descrip-
ton of what it describes as 1.-THE queerest
looking vehicle th:t ever came from the
carriage makers hand" 1t is the property
of DR.. Thurmond and will cost him about
$500. The doctor believes in having things
just like he wants them and he went to a
carriage builder, who drew up plan like
large wheelbarrow with a canopy top,
and gentleman who saw the picture said
!" was just the thing if the horse could be
found to work with his head toward the
buggy and tail at the ends of the shaft, so
that he could be led by the man sitting in
side, thus pushing the buggy instead Of
pulling it. The plan pleased the doctor
and he ordered the vehicle made. 1t was
finished and a wonderful looking affair it
was. 1t was nineteen feet long from the
big velocipede wheel behind to the end Of
the shafts in front.
DR.. Thurmond carried it home and gave
it trial. 1t worked all right, except that
there was too much of a twisty motion
about it, and the doctor decided to add two
little wheels to the front of the vehicle,
two very little wheels. They do not work
on a pivot like the rollers on "a center table
If the horse turns to the right the little
wheels will flop quickly to the right, while
the big wheel behind turns slowly and ma
jestically in the same direction. The only
harness to be used on the horse is the
wooden collar and a very wide bellyband
to which the shafts will be fastened.

Whom Hawthorne snoke.

In the autumn of 1862 Robert Chambers
had given me letter for Emerson, which
made him ask me to spend day with him
at Concord. He seemed to be the beau
ideal of "A contented and virtuous sage
Placidity and serenity We're, to my mind,
the chief characteristics Of his face and
manner. His conversation flowed without
the slightest effort, copiously and harmo-
niously. He took me all over Concord
pointing out the lions of the war of indie
pendence. He seemed proud of the wealth
of his New England orchard, the apple
trees having done specially well that year.
Among others, Emerson had asked Haw-
thorne to meet me. AS usual, he hardly
ever spoke, and ! only remembered his
breaking his apparent vow of silence when
appealed to by Mr.. Bradford. This gen
tleman, after IL fiery denunciation of the
south, having come to the end of his pero-
ration, passionately turned to his silent lis
tener with the words, Don't you agree
with me?" Then Hawthorne astonished
him by uttering the monosyllable No"
after which he again relapsed into silence

Some Circus Disappointments.

Once the elder John Robinson and his
show were at small mountain town in
North Carolina. The performance was at
tended by only about 200 people After
the show an old mountaineer and his wife
walked out of the tent and stopped before
a big bill board.
On this was picture in many colors Of
circus with hundred performers all
working in different acts at once Around
was great circle of 10000 people watching
the show The old man pointed to one act
with his umbrella and said, II didn't see
that thar in ther show" and then singing
out another feature he said, land that thar
thing wasn't in it," Then he found some
thing else, and II didn't see that thar" he
remarked. Old John Robinson, who had
been watching, stepped up and added,
"No, and my friend, you didn't see those
people there either. Helena Independ-

One of the best hot applications for pain
in pneumonia or dysentery is flannel bag
filed with hops and wrung out with hot
vinegar. The wringing process may be
avoided by the use of two tin plates After
the bag is ready pour little vinegar into
one plate, set it on the stove and lay the
bag in it. Place the other plate on the top
to keep in the steam. When the vinegar
has all evaporated into the hops add lit
tie more and turn the bag. In few min
utes the bag will be steaming hot, but not
dripping. This keeps it light-a thing al
ways to be considered when the chest is
weakened by pneumonia-and saves the
hands of the nurse from the scalding vine

Appreciation.

In view of the universal dissemination of
newspapers the mass of the public remain
in startling condition of ignorance with
respect TO the manner in which they are
prepared. | remember once, number of
years ago, sitting in a railway car Just be-
hind two farmers, who, to pass the time
on their journey, bought New York
Tribune of the trainboy. One of them
slowly put on his spectacles and prepared
to read the news aloud to his companion.
1t happened that the paper had been fold
ed wrong side out, so that the advertise
ments were uppermost, and the venerable
man was soon regaling his companion
with long dissertation on the merits of
DIR. Jabberway's Celebrated All Sufficient
Specific, whi.h cured everything from
chronic rheumatism to water blisters
He toiled patiently on, pronouncing the
Latin names after a system exclusively his
own, and devouring with unconcealed
wonder all the elaborate descriptions Of
the eternal economy of humankind, while
his listening partner sat with bent head
and mouth agape, nodding approval from
time to time. When the last line of the
advertisement was finished the reader laid
down the sheet, and the eyes of the two
friends met. Both were for a few seconds
too deeply impressed to speak. Then the
one who had been silent all the while found
voice enough to gasp: "Wa'al, Ivowl That
Teller Greeley docs know heap, naow,
don't he?"-Kate Fields Washington.

An Air Blast Washing.

In sawmills using pneumatic pipes for
taking away the sawdust it is found that
the back of the saw usually throws up
good deal of fine dust in spite of the air
suction. This difficulty has now been
overcome in many instances by an inven-
tion for admitting air to the saw hopper in
such way as to cause it to impnge on the
sides and teeth of the saw and thus give it

COUNTY DEMOCRATIC TICKET.

ELSEWHERE we publish the state
ment that a synopsis of the commit
Tee reportof the RAUMinvestigation
has been given out, in which the
committee recommends theremoval
of Pension Commissioner RAUM on
the ground that the Pension Bureau
IS honeycombed by fraud and ras-
cality. The report is most compre-
hensive, and will be of great value
TO the Democracy in the present
campaign. And in this connection
It is but proper to give to Congress
man ENLoE, to whom was assigned
the duty and responsibility Of pros
ecuting the investigation, all credit
Cor the success Of the work. The
prominence which the pension in
vestigation has attained and the Ia
Dor necessary to so big an under
taking has made it necessary fol
Mr.. ENLoE to remain at his post Of
duty as member of Congress.

No NOMINATION of q Presidential
candidate within the past thirty
years has pleased the great masses
of the Democracy more than that of
CLEyELAND's, They are equally
we'll pleased with HARRISON's nom
nation. CLEVELAND is the ideal
Of the people and HARRISON is the
ideal of the oAice-holder. Nearly
two hundred delegates holdingcom-
missions under HARRISON demand
ed his denomination. Nine-tenths
Of the Republican party of the I'm
ion demanded BLAINE. But one
hundred thousand office-holders,
who are fed by HARRISON's bounty,
were too strong an organization for
q few million of disorganized voters
to control. The Democracy got
their man and the will of the peo-
pie was respected. There is a mil
lion white majority in the Union
on the Democratic ticket, and a
white majority will prevail in No
vember. CLEVELAND was the pop
ular favorite four years ago and re-
ceived over 100000 more votes than
HARRISON. We believe he will get
a larger vote this year than ever
and carry HARRIsoN's own State il

workmen went aboard and arrang-

duct was guaranteed the detectives
provided they left their guns and
ammunition behind and agreed to
leave the place under guard. The
detectives had no alternative, and
accepted the terms When an in
spection of the boat was made it was
found that seven Pinkertons had
been killed and three score or more
wounded, many of them fatally.
Nine workmen were killed, and
large number wounded.
Among the scenes and incidents
attending the surrender and land
ing of the discounted detectives
from barges, one especially worthy
of note showed the bravery of the
man. In a shower Of missiles and
stones this man separated from the
others and begged for a hearing.
In the silence which followed he
told them that when he went there
he did not understand the situation;
that they was told that they were
to meet and deal with foreigners;
that they had no idea that they were
to fight American citizens, or they
would have not come. The crowd
cheered him, and they proceeded
unmolested. The captured detec-
tives were turned over to the sheriff
who sent them to Pittsburgh where
they disbanded and went home.
The governor of Pennsylvania
ordered out the State militia, con-
sisting of 5000 men and officers,
