colds. He says: II contracted cold
early last spring that settled on my
lungs, and had hardly recovered from
it when l caught another that hung

hacking cough which / thought l
never would get rid Of. / had used
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy some
fourteen yearsago with much success,
and concluded to try it again. When
l had got through with one bottle my
cough had left me. and have not
suffered with a cough or cold since.

SOME Of our Republican exchanges
quote as gospel the remarks OF Sena-
tor John Sherman, who says that the
Wilson bill will likely fail in the Sen
ate, and further that it is a thorough
ly vicious measure. Senator Sherman,
q few weeks previous to its passage
by the Senate. said that the silver
bill would never become law, but it
is nevertheless now upon the statute
books. Further, that verv bill was
originated by Mr.. Sherman, and it
proved such failure that he voted
for its repeal. John Sherman is an
old humbup.

By a vote in caucus last Friday
night it was decided by slight ma
jority of Democrats to incorporate the
internal revenue bill with the tariff
bill. This was done in spite OF the
most urgent appeals Of Mr.. Wilson,
Mr.. Cochran and others who were
afraid the income tax would lose
many votes for the tariff bill aud pos
sibly sndanger its passage. Mr.. Nc
Millin and Mr.. Turner, however, re-
gardless OF every other consideration,
engineered tho matter, and tackled
the internal revenue bill, income tax
and all, on TO the tariff bill. For q
few days it looked rs il it would prove
q fatal mistake, but the Democratic
leaders have finally succeeded in get
ting the opponents Of the income tax
to sacrifice their feelings for the good
OF the tariff bill. TIE final vote will
be taken on the tariff bill in the
House today.

IT was Mscauley, We believe, who
said that compromise is the essence
OF Politics" This is undoubtedly
true when we understand it to mean
compromise, not Of principle, but
upon conflicting methods and policies
of applying a principle. Hence it
would seem to be an unwise policy to
insist that the proposition to tax
incomes shall be added to the Wilson
bill; for in the present divided state
of the party in regard to the income
tax, some men must necessarily vote
against their convictions whether
their votes are cast for or against the
combination measure. Moreover, as
the Wilson bill owes its present shape
to recognition OF the wisdom OF
compromising and accommodating
conflicting views on the part OF its
trainers, it is highly inconsistent to
insist now that the income tax shall
be embodied in it in spite Of the
bitter opposition to such q course.

Some time ago | discovered, acci-
dentally, that frogs are voracious eat
ers of wasps. have in my garden
tank for watering, with an island OF
rockwork, which is favorite haunt OF
the frogs, writes R. E. Bartlett in the
London Spectator. The wasps just now
are carrying on a raid against my fruit,
and when / wish to crafty at once my
revenge and my frogs | catch a ma
rauder between a post card and an in
verted wine glass, carry him off to the
tank, wet his wings to prevent his n.y.
ing, and set him on the rockwork be-
fore the frogs.
After moments pause a frog ad-
vances. and in an instant the wasp has
disappeared, drawn into the frogs
mouth by single dart of his long
tongue. Occasionally the wasp reap
pears, wholly or partially, having made
It unpleasant for the frog, but he is al
most always swallowed in the end.
Usually convulsive movements may be
noticed in the frogs throat and body,
as though the process of deglutition
were not quite easy; but that they like
the diet is evident from the fact that
single smallish frog has been known
to take three wasps one after another.
Indeed, it is remarkable what very
small frogs, quite infants, will swallow
a wasp with avidity. One afternoon
a tiny frog swallowed full-grown
wasp, when big relative went for him
quite savagely. like a big schoolboy
thrashing a small one for presuming
to be helped before him.

Coralie was pointed ont to him. He
looked at her with surprise.
THAT person?" he said 'Can it be
possible?"
"She was the born slave of the late
Pierce Bostock. of La Fourche inte-
rior," put in the lawyer whom Conrad
had brought with him. My client in
herited her, with the other slaves and
property. This young fellow has been
caught in an attempt to run her off to
the north. That is, in brief, the whole
case"

There was much that | could say

before his death. This lady is his
daughter. 1t is necessary for me to
state that we were engaged to be mar
ried, with the approval of her father.
We were on our way to the river for
that purpose. That is my side of the
story"
Coralie nodded, and took one of my
hands in both of hers.
'Stuff and nonsense!" growled Con-
rad.
"A very pretty story" sneered the
lawyer. But your honor knows that
under our law the consent of the slave
cannot at all affect the guilt of her
abductor."
THAT is true" observed the judge;
land this is a time when a clearly
proved attempt of the nature here
charged must be punished with all
the rigor known to the law. Our
southern institutions must be upheld,
and dangerous fanatics from the north
must be taught to respect them. While
this is true, there seems to be some ex-
traordinary features about this case.
The accused is young and has not the
appearance of a common slave stealer.
His statement is a curious one. He
ought to have counsel Is there any
gentleman of the bar here who will
advise with him?"
A rosy, specialized man near the
bench said: Your honor, / should de-
cline to appear for the defense in any
common case of this kind, but have

sons from what / have seen and heard
here, and agree with the court that

voices, his was not needed Then
came the catastrophe, and the curtain

The tears that were denied us in the

placed us in comparative safety at the

were able to escape to the shore where
