Bowden, who achieved notoriety as the manager of the Duval Athletic club, which organizatio pulled off the Corbett- Mitch- ell fight here last January, was horsewhip- ped in an inch of his life today.

REMARKABLE SLEEP OF AN EXPRESS MES SINGER, AND FALL FROM A TRAIN.

REMARKABLE SLEEP OF AN EXPRESS MES
 SINGER, AND FALL FROM TRAIN.
 JACKSON, Miss, July 27.-Last night, three miles below here, while dosing in his chair, Express Messenger Edward Stevens of Water Valley fell from the car door. He was not missed until Canton, twenty five miles above here, was reached. A message was sent here that he was missing and must have fallen from his car. A hand car was rigged up and several gentlemen started down the track hunting for him.
 Three miles below they found him lying within feet of the track, soundly sleep ing. He awoke as soon as they touched him and asked what was wanted. He says he has no recollection of falling and imag- ined himself asleep in his bed at New Or. leans when the rescuing party found him. The train was running forty miles an hour when he fell off, and that he was not killed is a miracle. Aside from few minor bruises he is not hurt.

ONE OF DEBs' LIEUTENANTs GIVES THE
 LEADER AWAY,

ST. LOUIS, July N.-A morning paper quoted Albert Smith, one of the local lead CTS in the late railroad strike, and friend of Eugene V. Debs, president of the Amer icau Railway union, as saying: "At the beginning of the recent strike Debs told me that he did not expect to win the strike. He lad a purpose in having the strike or dered. He believed that strike at the time that of the American Railway union was called was the only way by which the la- boring classes conld be brought to see that they could do nothing for tn themselves as long as they were not politically recog- nized. The strike, he thinks, will bring about this organization, causing the men to break away from their political parties. |" Smith says that Debs will be candidate for some office, probably congress, and that the work of organizing political bodies will be begun soon.'

BRADsTREETo' REPORT.

NEW YORK, July Zd.-DTduStTeetS LOIuOr- row will say: Leading influences affecting the course of general trade throughout the United States within the week have not resulted in net gain. Prolonged drought and hot winds have damaged corn and other crops in Nebraska, and fears are en- tertained of like losses in Kansas. With out early rains the reduction in the yield oi Indian corn is expected to be considerable. The outlook for the yield in the spring wheat states is regarded as unfavorable, which reacts upon country merchants and checks demands.
 Several thousand striking miners in Ohio, Indiana and Alabama refuse to re- turn to work at rates agreed upon in con- ference, and this continues to depress busi- ness throughout the tributary regions. Iron, steel and other industries are ham, pered throughout the Pittsburg district for lack of coke, which restricts production in the face of mildly improving demand 1, and keeps the price of spot Bessemer pig and billets about $1 higher than quotations for future delivery.
 Continued exports of gold from New York are regarded as an .uufavorGb ble in- fuence, and there are more unfavorable reports as to mercantile collections.
 More serious in it's diyorganizing effects on general business is the continued delay in tariff legislation, few merchants car ing to try to provide for prospective wants tn view of the uncertainty. The other side reveals report ol mooerate improvement Tn general trade at larger number of south- -ern cities than last week; improvement in the outlook for the Columbia river Salmon canning pack; increased activity in all leading lines in San Francisco; full and regular fruit shipments east from the Pacific coast, and an improved demand for iron and steel at St. Louis, Pittsburg and other centers-practically complete resto- ration of railway freight service through out the country.
 There is tendency to buy very sparin g ly for fall delivery at Philadelphia, Balti- more, New York and Boston. Excellent crop prospects are reported in most south

No Need to Hear.

Every one has read of the faction,
action, ACTION" of Demosthenes, and OF
what a variety of emotions and pas
sions Roscius could express by mere
gestures. An anecdote told OF William
c. Preston, of South Carolina, illus
trates the power OF this form Of art in
an amusing way.
A gentleman who was one of an audi
ence held spellbound by splendid
harangue of Preston's from the stump
one day noticed beside him a man
whom he knew to be very deaf, but
who seemed to be listening with
breathless attention. and who appar-
emily caught every word that fell from
the orators lips. Now tears of delight
rolled down his cheeks, and again he
would shout out applause in ungovern'
able ecstasy.
At last, when particularly splendid
passage had been delivered, with the
effect OF raising storm OF applause
from the audience, the deaf man, as il
he could contain himself no longer,
bawled into the ear OF his neighbor,
"Whos that a-speakin'?"
William G. Preston!" shouted the
gentleman at the top of his lungs.
"Who!" roared the deaf man, still
louder than before.
William G. Preston, OF South Caro-
lima" roared the gentleman in return
with an effort which rasped his throat
for some moments after.

Care of Harness for Farm Horses.

The capacity Of the horse for work
depends much upon his harness Stiff
harness tires and worries him. Oil
ing the harness will make it flexible,
and will also make it more durable.
There Is no better time for oiling
harness than some stormy day on
which outdoor work is forbidden by
the weather. A mixture of three
parts Of neat's-foot oil to one part of
beef tallow. is IA splendid application.
A little lampblack may be added, to
blacken the leather, and also a little
castor oil, to prevent the mice from
nibbling. But the best way to pre-
vent the mite from nibbling the
harness Is to keep it in tight closet,
and keep two or three good mousers
about the barn. When the harness
is being oiled, is the proper time to
make any needed repairs. This work
can be done indoors on stormy days.
1t is certainly much better TO do it
then. and not to have vexatious
breaks when blowing is pressing to
be done. Very nearly all the repair.
ing that is necessary can be done at
home. 1t will pay 10 have on hand
at all times supply of linen thread,
wax, a halt dozen assorted needles,

places will not only avoid vexatious
breakages when one is very busy, but
may also avoid runaways not few
of which are caused by the breaking

Removal of MoIes.

In recent number of the Practi-
toner, DIR. Jamison writes on the use
Of sodium ethylate in removing hairy
moles on the face. He operated in
this way: The hairs were cut off as
closely as possible with a very fine
pair OF scissors, and the mole was then
painted over with sodium ethylate, a
fine glass rod being used. When the
mole had a vanished look the ethy-
late was gently rubbed in with the
glass rod, to make it penetrate more
deeply into the hair follicles. The
mole had quite black look when the
operation was over. A hard crust
formed over it, which was nearly three
weeks in becoming detached. When
1t came off the hairs were seen to be
destroyed, and the surface OF the mole
had a smooth, somewhat electrical APP
pearance, OF much lighter color than
before, and this favorable condition
continued until the mark was scarcely
noticeable. Herald of Health.

A Big Crop of Corn.

ut is just as easy to grow big crop
OF corn as a small one; it takes little
more labor to keep a field we'll
titled than to neglect 1t, and the only
thing needed in addition Is plenty OF
fertility. Mr.. Carman Of Hewletts,
l. l.. reports that in 1888 he plowed
a piece OF sod land. sandy loan, had
been in sod six years; not quite four
and one-nalf acres. Ten tons of
stable manure were spread in March
and plowed under Eight hundred
pounds OF Mates' commercial manure
were spread and narrowed IN before
planting; 1000 pounds more OF the
same fertilizer was worked In with
the cuitivator after the corn was up.
The val iety grown was the Chester
County In rows four feet by one foot
The crop produced was 1000 bushels
OF ears on the whole lot, equal to
525 bushels of shelled CO n, or at the
rate of 1863 bushels per acre. An.
other crop on the same farm OF I34
bushels shelled corn was on an acre
with the use OF 500 pounds of the
Mapes manure applied at several
times during the growing season.
This was done without unusual care
or expense.

The Outlet to UnderdraIn..

The most important part of an I'M

soon as the snow melts this should be
examined and all sediment and other
Accommodations cleared away. II the

lowed to run, the chances are that
some of the stones or tiles have be-
come misplaced ny the trampling of
stock in search of water. These
should be replaced even II several
feet OF the outlet must be removed
for that purpose. A fiat stone or
piece of plank or slab should be placed
over the drain and the whole covered
with soil foot deep II the open
ditch or creek into which the drain
discharges has become filled up, 1t
should be cleaned out that the water
may not back up into the drain; and
this work Is very important and
