Tho Charge Eied against Collector
Simmons.

1t being stated in some of the pa
pers that some charges had been filed
before the finance Committee against
Collector Simmons,t that gentleman at
once wrote to Senator Ransom asking
him to ascertain if any charges had
been filed against him, and if SO,
what they were.
In answer to this request, Co.'s
lector Simmons has received from
Senator Ransom the following state
ment, dated January s3rd 1894;
"There is positively nothing here
touching your honor. Some charges
have been presented to the Finance
Committee to try and excite Repub-
lican prejudice against you.
"They consist of an affidavit of
John B. Hussey, to the effect that he
as a newspaper man" was present
when you, Auditor Furman and
Judge Avery fixed up the "Secret
Circular; of an affidavit each from
one Wray and one Malloy of Rock
ingham, (Republicans) that in con-
sequence of that Circular" Repub-
licans were denied registration and
voting in that county; and also of a
letter of Charles Cook, of Warren
county, stating tlat Republicans in
some precincts in Warren county
were wrongfully deprived of the
rights of registration and voting
that is the case. There is literally
nothing-nothing in the charges
nothing whatever"
The above is Gen Ransom's state,
ment.
The Giro ular alluded to here was
one sent out by Collector Simmons
when he was chairman of the Dem
~ocratic State Committee. It was sent
to t he chair man of every County
| Democratic Executive Committee in
the State, and it consisted of q brief
statement of the decision of the Su-
preme Court of North Carolina in
the case Of Harris against Scar
borough, onstruing u new regis
tration laws. And Chairman Sim
mons therein instructed the chair
men of the county committees to see
that all Democratic voters were reg.
istered in accordance with the re-
qnirements of this decision of the
Supreme Court. That was the Cir
cnlar i.
The allegations made by the Re-
publicans, Charles Cook and Wray
and Malloy, that in consequence of
that circular Republicans were de
MED the right Of registration and
of voting is palpably absurd. L
any Republicans did not register
and vote, it was because they die

4 Health Hint.

The late Sir Andrew Clark. the ia
nous physician, believed heartily in
fresh air, simple diet and a cheerful
mind as remedial agents. He once Wis
tied "a patient whose bedroom walls
were covered with a paper of most de-
pressing color and pattern. That pa
per-" said Sir Andrew decisively, is
quite enough to send a healthy MAI
melancholy mad: its effect upon an in
valid, who is compelled to lie still and
gaze upon it all day, must be awful.
You'll have to move the patient into a
more checrfully papered room But,
Sir Andrew. this is the best of them
ALL" was the rcmOnstrance. Then,
said the great doctor, YOU must buy a
bright cretOnnc or something, and
hide these dreadful walls" And ere

Raw eggs are among the most valu-

HANDY WITH THEIR FEET,
HIndoOs Able to Use Their Neither Extrem-
tiles to Great Advantage.

In the native quarters of the towns
OF India the strange spectacle may be
G OF a butcher selling a piece of
meat IN his hands and cutting it in two
with a stroke of his knife held between
the first and second toes of his foot.
n shoemaker uses no last. says Pear
sons Weekly, but turns the diminished
shoe with his feet. while his. hands are
busy in shaping it. So the carpenter
holds with his great toe the board he
Is cutting and the wood-turner handles
his tools as well with his toes as with
his fingers. This use of the feet to as
sist the hands in their labor is not,
however. the mere result OF practice,
but is principally due to the fact that
the Hindoo foot is quite different from
ours in its anatomical conformation.
The ankle of the Hindoo and the ar
ticulation of the back of the foot per-
nit considerable lateral motion. Then
the toes possess a surprising mobility.
The great toe can be moved freely in
all directions and the first and second
toes are separated by a wide space,
sometimes "a much as five-eighths of
an inch across at the base Of the toes
and two inches at their extremities.
The articulation Of the hip is also Pc
culiar. and this renders it easier to use
the toes in handling the objects by
enabling the Hindoo to sit in a squat.
ting posture much more comfortably
than we can do. A! similar formation
of the feet and toe is found among the
.Annamese, but it is not. as might be
supposed, a common thing among bar
barOus and savage tribes. One natu-
rally thinks of the resemblance to a
monkey which a human being using
both feet and hands in the manner de-
scribed above must present, and yet
NJ. Regnault is careful to point out the
fact that the Hindoo foot is not at al
like the foot of IN ape or monkey. The
great toe is not opposed to the other
toes like a thumb. as occurs with the
monkey, and accordingly the pedal
d~exterity of the Hindoos is not to be
taken as an indicat on of simian de
scent.

A Fish browns an Eagle.

At the mouth Of Octoraro Creek.
four miles above Port Deposit, is 4
bed of gravel, where shad, rock and
hei ring go to spawn. In the spring
and early summer large schools of fish
go to this locality and bald and gray
eagles liOck to the vicinity for the pur-
pose of preying on them. The water
on the Cecil County side is about ten
feet deep and being clear the fish are
readily % by their winged enemies.
A gray eagle saw a rocktish in the
water and pounced upon him, sinking
his talons deep into the sides of the
fish. When the bird attempted to
arise he found the load more than he
could carry. He could not release his
hold, either. Finally he was dragged
under the water and drowned. The
current carried the eagle and the fish
into a fshpot, where the bodies were
found, with the hold of the eagle unre-
laxed. The fish weighed sixteen
pounds, and the bird measured six fee

Dear Sirs-I now am able to say, after having

thank God | have found relief from my terrible
suffering through the wond .rfnl healing intu-
ence of yOur wonderful Body Belt. August %,
1891. at which time | was a great sufferer, and
had been for more than four years, from eX-
treme nervous prostration. 40 much so that, on
the least excitement, my whole nervous system
would be all of a tire nhle from head to foot, and
unable to control myself in the least. and would
affect me to tears like a little child. ! am a

pounds. 1t so continued with increased suffer
ing until | was unable to help myself, aud for
eight long months my suffering was intense.
My stomach was SO weak that could not take
any food but crackers and warm water for the
above time. My kidneys were so weak that
could not retain my urine; IL would pass from
me continually, and | was under the necessity
of leaving my couch from six to eight times Of
a night to void my urine, which was very pain
ful. l was also troubled with severe constipa-
ton and piles, so that l was obliged to use III
j~ectiOns to produce evacuations OF the bowels.
1t was very distressing, so much so that L had
to be lifted in and out of my bed for several
months. The doctors could do me no good what
ever, and l had made up my mind that there
was no help for me this side of the grave. My
limbs would become numb and cold, seemingly
as ice. and | would try with hot bricks, rub
bling and all other methods to restore the cir
~culation and natural feeling, but all to no eff
feet, and then it would pass off. Then again
another attack would occur which would leave
me helpless. and so continued periodically, and

three years at least before | would be able to
work. | agreed with them. for ] could not, nor
