UP IN WILKES
A County Noted for Fights and Corn
Liquor,

The second battle of Pine Hill oc-
CURED last week, and was like unto
the first, except that men were the
principal participants instead ef
women, says the Chronicle. After the
first battle, the Rebs, somewhat de-
feated, advanced backward to the
branchsat the foot of Pine Hill. Here
a reinforcement of men formed for
battle. The Feds. were reinforced by
number of men also and decided to
storm the stronghold of the Rebs.
But they were met with a hot recep-
tion, and despite the stubborn yalor
born of the spirits of fermented de-
termination, were repulsed. But
they rallied for final trial of
strength, and amid the Haunting of
rocks and other convenient fighting
material, they rushed forward deter
mined to win or try very hard. But
the Rcbs. were ready, and the battle
was grand. Amid the uproar of the
terrible onslaught were heard the
cries of the wounded and dying tfor
another drink and at last they all
went down-that is down to the still
house to take a drink. Thus ended
the second battle of Pine Hill,- which
was probably in favor of the Rebs.

How Xope Elias Was Served.

When Kope Elias was in Chicago
recently he had occasion to call the at
tention of the head-waiter of the ho-
tel. "When will the funeral be held?''
INQUIRED Mr.. Elias. 'What's that?''
asked the head-waiter. Mr.. Elias re-
peated his question, which was unin-
telligible to the other. 'What do
you mean?" "Well," said Mr.. Elias,
Il gave a waiter an order about forty
minutes ago, and as l have seen moth
ing of him since, | concluded that he
must be dead. When will the funer-
al be held?" The head-waiter laugh
ed; he hunted up the waiter and Mr..

Thinks He will be Confirmed,

Collector Elias has returned to
Asheville. When asked by the Citi-
zen about his confirmation by the
United States Senate, the Collector
replied that there was no doubt in his
mind that the confirmation would be
made all right, probably next week or
the week after. He also said in reply
to a question, that he did not know
upon what grounds Senator Vance
was basing the opposition to him.

The salt Rub.

Various sanitariums and private hos
pitfalls are using "the salt rub, = and it is
becoming SO popular that some Turkish
bath establishments are advertising it as
special attraction. 1t is just as good
for well people as sick ones, is the most
refreshing of all the baths and Nrubs ever
invented, only excepting q dip in the sea
itself, and is matchless in its effect upon
the skin and complexion. With all these
virtues, it is the simplest, most easily
managed Of all similar measures, and
can be taken at home easily.
Put q few pounds of coarse salt, the
coarsest you can get, sea salt by prefer
ence, in an earthen jar, and pour enough
water on it to produce a sort Of slush,
but not enough to dissolve the salt. This
should then be shaken up in handfuls
and rubbed briskly over the entire per-
son. OF course it is better to have it
rubbed on by another person, but any
one in ordinary health can do it for her
self or himself very satisfactorily. This
being done, the next thing is a thorough
douching of clean water, preferably cold,
with brisk rubbing with dry towel
The effect of elation, freshness and re-
newed life is felt Immediately, and the
satiny and increased clearness and bright
ness Of the complexion swell the testi-
Inony in favor of the salt rub. New

In a eerman workshop.

We had to be at work at 6 o'clock in
the morning and to keep ON till 8 o'clock
at night. Even on Sundays we worked
from o'clock to dinner time. Some
would keep ON till it was dark on Sun
day evening and content themselves with
knocking of early, as they called it. And
such work.
Everybody would work as if the house
were on fire. It was all piecework. The
man who stood next myself had made
veneered chests of drawers for 80 years,
and never had made anything else. He
would turn out two veneered chests of
drawers in week, and the work was
faultless. These chests would, / am
sure, sell readily in Brisbane for from
e12 to e15 each. He earned about 0
Prussian thalers per week. On the other
side of me stood man who made Ger
man secretaries. There were nine or ten
men in the shop. The master was work
ing too. He seemed just as poor as the
men.
Whenever work was finished, some
furniture dealer would come round and
buy it. The men seemed all mere or less
askew in their bodies with overwork! II
ever they had an ambition in their lives,
it was to instill o proper sense of respect
into the two apprentices. So Adventures

An Atmosphere In Outer Space.

That extreme cold paralyzes every
vital function is of course a piece Of
everyday knowledge. But it has been
left to Professor Pictet, who has been
conducting some experiments on this
subject, to discover that at tempera-
ture Of $50 degrees below the centigrade
zero there is no chemical action between
nitric or sulphuric acid and potash, be.
tween oxygen and potassium, though
under ordinary circumstances the affinity
Of the latter metal for oxygen is SO great
that it will burn If thrown into water,
owing to its combination with the oxygen
in that fluid. But if the electric spark
is played on bodies which have thus lost
the power of chemical affinity some
new and curious combinations result.
The latest Investigations, theconclusions
of which, however, have been theoretic-
ally presaged for some years past, may
require us to reconsider the question Of
the temperature Of outer space and the
possibility Of an atmosphere composed Of
gases in combination existing there

An Error In Punctuation.

The ancient church dedicated to the
pious memory of st. Helena, who, ira

AT the last moment, however, and aft
er the rector had been wired to return,
a worthy cleric named Smith, who had
come to Bodmin as a witness in an as
size case, volunteered his services as a
locum tenens. So another telegram was
dispatched In haste to Bath to stay the
invalid from coming back. Itwas hand
ed in at the Bodmin Office and read thus:
.Smith has gone to Holland You
stop where you are.n
When the messenger boy handed the
orange enveloped epistle to his reverence
at the other end, the latter tore it open
and read with astonishment:
Smith has gone to Hell and you stop
where you are. - Christian Adviser.

Vegetable whisky shops.

One Of the most curious plants in the
White House Conservatives is called by
the superintendent vegetable whisky
shops" because THEN pitchers distill an
Intoxicating fluid that attracts all sorts
Of insects. Half = pint is contained in
each of these receptacles, and it is said
that the contents Of three or four will
intoxicate man. The bugs fall into the
fluid, and their substance is devoured by
the plant. One variety attracts cock
reaches, while another actually captures
frogs that, once caught, are unable to es-
cape because of two thorns extending
downward which pierce them when they
attempt to jump out.

The Administration Will not Give Finan
cial Reiief.-The Grab for ONCE.
WASHINGTON, June 30.-Nothing need
be expected from the administration in
the shape of relief. 1t has deliberately
thrown the whole business oyer to con.
ress and continues TO devote its entire
time to settling squabbles among demo-
Gratis as to whom shall get the little Of
fees. Secretary Carlisle, when asked
what he contemplated doing, said there
was nothing TO add to the policy of the
administration already announced, which
means that Pres. Clevelands do-nothing
program will be continued until 1t is
changed by congress.
A member of the cabinet let the cat out
of the bag as to why Pres Cleveland con-
tinues to turn deaf ear to the numerous
appeals for an immediate extra session of
congress that are being made to him, by
saying in the course of a general conver.
sation that, if the president were convinc-
ed that congress would Immediately after
assembling, repeal the Sherman law that
body might be conyeued before Septem-
Der.
Ever since the establishment of the
present form OF government for the Dis
trict of Columbia It has been regarded, as
1t was intended to be, as being strictly
non-partisan In It's makeup; and for many
years the loudest shouters in favor of
keeping politics out were the democrats
But radical change has taken place in
their views, and the- local democrats, as
sisted by several Maryland and Virgins
congressman, are nigglng at Pres. Cleve-
land In order 10 get him TO direct the dis
missal Of republicans and the appoint

order TO get him personally interested

ABSOLUTELY PURE
REAL CAUSE OF DEPRESSION.

The present depression which oppresses
the country is based solely on fctlcious
grounds and is caused simply by lack of
confidence. There is as much money in
the country as eyer, and were the people
not filled with absurd apprehension, there
would by no monitary stringency. The
Sherman purchase law is at the bottom of
this lack of confidence, but while in time,
II permitted to continue, that law will
embarrass the country by forcing 1t to
silver standard, still, ii will be long time
before any such catastrophe rs that can
happen, and long before it will be possible
the abomination will be repealed. All
fear from that source, therefore, is abso-
lutely foolish.
If the people of the United States would
look at this question Alright thele would
be no more trouble Now every man who
has little money is boarding it away, in
stead of investing it; depositors in some
states have become needlesly alarmed
and made runs on banks which, if let
alone, would have been perfectly solvent,
but which could not stand a steady drain
upon them; others are refusing to pay
their bills, and while doing all they can to
make money, Immediately withdraw their
money from circulation.
All this is worse than foolish; il is GRIM
inal. Let our men OF large and small
means inYest their money. Securities
that are rs sound as dollar are depressed
through insction, and can be bought now
for considerably less than they will be
/ sold for 4 few months hence Let depos-
itois permit their savings 10 remain in
banks and there will be no more failure OF
these institutions even of comparative
small capital, and the depositors will re-
ceiye their own with interest. Then let
those who owe small sums stop boarding
money and be honest and pay their debts.
These little sums are very small in them
selves, but in the aggregate make an
amount Of money which, If put In circula-
ton, will do much In the way OF warding
of general stringency and consequent bad
business all around.
This Is great country, and our large
wheat crops, which will be in great de-
mand in Europe, will soon be on the
move, and then, with wheat going abroad
and European gold coming in freely In
return, confidence will naturally be re,
b stored; but there is no necessity fOr wait
l ing for that. The present fear is like one
l. Of those crazes which seem to take abso.
= Lutte possession of mankind every once in
