Ex-Gov. Porter, recently nominated
by the President to succeed Judge Key

convention of the International Confer

Gov. Turney last week pardoned four
convicts, three of whom are in the last
stages of consumption. Two Of them
are from Fayette County, as follows:
George Armstrong, sent up in October,
1885, for twelve years, for larceny, etc.,

The present outlook for a cotton crop
in the section around Humboldt was
never better. The stalk is large and
we'll boiled, and most of the farmers
have laid the crop by in fine condition.
The yield in that portion of Gibson
County will be 90 per cent better than
last season. Corn is better than any year
since the war. Some predict that the
present crop will sell as low as S1.25 per
barrel. The farmers are in better spirits
than for years past over the enormous
crop now growing.

to clear up titles and pay back taxes.

Blood as 4 Medicine.

**Let me have three ounces Of that
bottled blood quick!'' bids fair yet to
become not uncommon order in the
corner drug store. According to we'll
known Philadelphia physician, startling
progress has been made in blood healing,
or hematherapy. ''Blood is not only
life," he declares, "but lives itself in
dependently. It is a highly organized
living tissue simply in the transition
state. It can be made to live apart from
the body indefinitely in perfect condi
ton and can then be returned into any
tissue by any opening at any time, when
it will Instantly resume it's full creative
activity. It can even be swallowed
when the patient, suffering from drain
ing of blood or hemorrhages, can take
no other drink. Death from blood star
walton will one day be exceedingly rare
indeed, and these corked up vital corpus
cles will be used not only for immi-
nently dangerous but for intractable
lingering cases. "-Philadelphia Record.

Peculiar European Law.

The extraordinary announcement that
has recently appeared in the German
papers to the effect that, by virtue of q
decree obtained from the courts, Baron
Albert Won Ohlendorff had disinherited
and disowned his eldest son, the Baron
Oscar Won Ohlendorff, on account of his
extravaganza, habitual drunkenness and
general misconduct, is necessary, &C.
cording to Teutonic law, in order to
render imperative the claims, which
the young man would otherwise possess,
upon his parents property. On the con-
tinent of Europe parents are held to
have certain obligations, so far as prop
erty and maintenance are concerned,
toward the children whom they have
brought into the world, and disinherit-
ance is only permitted when the sane
ton of the courts has been obtained "a
sanction given in such cases as the
above alone or where the son has be-
come a criminal. Letter.

The Logic of q Lender.

The young Detroit man had borrowed
$40 from the rich old man, promising
to bring it back one week from date.
The millionaire let him have it, and on
time the borrower brought it back.
''Now, Mr.. Bullion,'' said the young
man, "I've been square with you in this
matter, and want to borrow $50 for
two weeks"
The old man shook his head.
"Sory, :" said he, but can't let you
have it,
why not?' and the young man was
greatly astonished.
''Because you have disappointed me,
and I don't want to be disappointed
again.
The borrower was more surprised
than ever:
"What do you mean by being disap-
pointed?'' he asked.
'"This," explained the money man.
II let you have that $40, not expecting
ever to get it back again, and I did
Now, if I let you have $50, would ex-
pect to get it again, and never would.
No, SIR" he added conclusively, ''one
disappointment is enough. Good day, "
and that ended it.-Chicago Tribune.

THE ENGAGEMENT RING.

And What Sometimes Follows After It II
Received BY tho Bride Elect.
Somewhat apropos Of weddings, at
least Of weddings that may be, is q story
told by one Of the leading statesmen for q
well known jewelry house. It is not
uncommon for brides elect just after the
election to resort to some sort of clever
artifice to find out the intrinsic value of
the glittering bauble that proclaims her
to be his. Sometimes they do their own
detective work, but perhaps more fire.
quently a curious mother takes charge
Of it, under the impression, as she makes
you believe, that if the ring is all it is
pretended to be the giver's character is
like it. The originator of that theory
has never been discovered. The disciples
are legion. ~:
The salesman in question was ap-
preached by woman of the fashion
able world and her daughter. The lat
ter looked somewhat embarrassed, and
the experienced young man behind the
counter thought he recognized the symp-
toms. ,-.
II desire to get ring for my daugh-
ter" said the woman. The salesman
looked at the young lady.
''Not this one, another daughter. It
is to be a SURPRISE" *, .~.@- $
She was shown case after case of dia
mond rings, but none seemed to suit
her. Finally she said to the daughter,
"Show him yours, dear" Blushingly
she took off her glove and slipped a
sparkling ring from her engagement
finger.
II want to get one exactly like that.
How much will it cost?''
The salesman looked at the ring, and
the girl watched him as bravely as she
could. He recognized it as one he had
sold to Mr.. Blank few days before.
Isn't she crafty?'' he thought.
"Well, I'll fix her this time'' So he
handed the ring back to the daughter
and said:
''The cost of this ring, madam, was
aconidential matter between Mr.. Blank
and myself. We haven't another like it
in the house. understood from his re-
marks that he thought the ring would
not be valued at it's intrinsic worth.
However; if you wish to know its val
ne, take it to some pawnshop and null
tiply what they will offer you for it by
three, and you will get pretty nearly
the correct price"
The mother dounced out of the store
in great wrath. Her daughter followed,
almost in tears. Of course the store lost
their patronage, but the salesman said
he couldn' t resist the temptation to give
them lesson Philadelphia Press.

She Had the Toothache.

A Philadelphia newspaper is respon-
sible for this story about cat. This
particular feline belonged to dentist
and seemed to take a delight in watch
ing the doctor operate on his patients.
One day it was noticed that pussy re-
fused to eat and that she often yowled
in apparent distress, but no one knew
what was the matter. The next morn
ing, after a patient had left the chair,
pussy jumped into the place he had oc-
cupied and gave a pitiful yowl. Struck
with an idea, the dentist carefully ex-
amined the cats mouth and found q
swollen gum and an liberated tooth.
He promptly extracted the incisor, and
pussy Immediately began to pur in a
very contented manner. It may have
been only a coincidence, but it really
looked as if the cat knew where to 60

ssSacred" Water Analyzed,

A scientific analysis has lately been
made in England Of the Zem-Zem water
from the sacred we'll at Mecca, which,
according to the Arabs, is the we'll that
the angel showed to Hagar, and whose
water saved the life Of Ishmael. After
reading the results Of this analysis one
cannot wonder that pilgrims who drink
the water are frequently attacked by
cholera.
The specimen examined, which was
Theoretically sealed in tin bottles 40
years ago by Sir Richard Burton during
his visit to Mecca in the disguise of a
dervish, contained 50 grains of chlorine
to the gallon. Water which contains so
little as grains of chlorine to the gal
Ion is ordinarily regarded as scarcely fit
for human consumption.
Moreover, in the case of the Zem- Fem
well, it is believed that the chlorine
originates from the custom of pouring
the water over the pilgrims and allow
ing it to run back into the WE'LL The
sacred water was found to possess an
extraordinary degree of Hardness,
three times as great as that Of average
water. It also held 20 times as much
ammonia compounds as drinking water
should contain.
No bacteria were discovered, but this
is accounted for by the fact that the
water had remained for so long a time
sealed up in entire darkness Forty
years Of such confinement had complete
~ sterilized it, but the chemical i'm
purities remained. Compan-
