The prediction made by the gold bugs
that good times and better prices for

adoption of the Cleveland theory of f.

perfect work.-Bastrop Appeal.

papers are right when they say that
there will be no more bounty given by
either party also that the Democrats
are the only ones who have promised a
protective tariff to the planters and in

Oranges taken at stated times is tb
latest remedy for inebriety. Those
who profess to know advise the eating
OF one orange before breakfast, another
at II a. H., 3 p. M, and 6 p. NJ, with
another the last thing before retiring.

1t this %healthful, nutritious fruit pos
sesses yet other medicinal virtues aside
from being a sovereign remedy for
biIiousness, and is, indeed, a remedy

The news that the japanese have in
vaded China shows quite clearly that
they have been victorious iu all the
battles they have fought thus far with
the Chinese, and that they are de-
termined to carry the wal into the
enemy's country. The success of the
Japanese has been attributed to the
fact that the Chinese soldiers do not
know how to handle their weapons, and
in consequence are poor marksmen, bat
the truth is they are not a warlike race,
and would rather slave in the rice and
fields than to fight. On the other
hand the Japanese are well advanced
in the science Of war, aud are good
fighters. 1t the reports that the Jap
anese have invaded China are correct,
it will not be long before they will cap
tnre Pekin and compel China to come
to their WI terms.-N. o. States.
