Third Term a Stern Reality.

A New York dispatch says: The de-
sire of President Cleveland as a can
didate for third term is being talked
OF more and more each day. Comp
troller Eckels tacitly acknowledged
the fact, Senator Gray, of Delaware,
almost boldly announced, and other
politicians have limited at the fact of
the Presidents ambition. General
James H. Wilson, who was in the city
yesterday. pointed out pertinent
fact in connection with the third-term
talk.
General Wilson is one of the most
influential Republicans in Delaware.
He said significantly, in speaking of
Senator Gray's interview, printed re-
Gently, in which the Senator practical
ly nominated Mr.. Cleveland for third
term:
Senator Gray, when he gave out
the famous interview in which he said
that Mr.. Cleveland was eligible be-
cause he had not served two conse-
cutive terms, had just returned from
Europe. He had doubtless talked
with Ambassador Bayard when abroad.
| do not doubt that Ambassador Bay
ard and Senator Gray held council in
London and that they decided to sup
port the President for third term.
The Senator's utterances, then, may
have been upon the advice of or by a
prearranged agreement with Ambas-
sador Bayard. OF course, I take it
that Mr.. Bayard would not hesitate if
he had chance of spending four more
yearsin England as the representative
of this country. Therefore when SEN
ator Gray's remarks were printed and
they were of such an unequivocal
character that they could not be mis-
taken, do not think that Ambassador
Bayard was surprised"

A Smallpox Cure.

A correspondent to the Stockton,
(Cal.) Herald sent the following some
years ago to that paper:
81 hearwith append recipe which
has been used to my knowledge in
hundreds Of cases. 1t will prevent or
cure smallpox though the pittings
are filling. When Jenner discovered
cowpox in England the world of
science hurled an avalanche of fame
upon his head, but when the most
scientific school of medicine in the
world that of Paris-published this
recipe ass. panacea for smallpox, it
passed unheeded. 1t is as unfailing
as fate, and conquers in every instance.
1t is harmless when taken by a we'll
person. 1t will also cure scarlet fever.
Here is the recipe, as / have used it
and cured my children of scarlet fever;
here it is as have used it to cure the
smallpox; when learned physicians
said the patient must die. it cured:
Sulphate of zinc / grain; foxglove
(digitalis) grain; half a teaspoonfuI
of sugar; mix with two tablespoon
fuls of water; when thoroughly mixed
add four ounces of water. Take a
spoonful every hour. Either disease
will disappear in twelve hours. For
a child smaller doses according to
age. If counties would compel
their physicians to use this, there
would be no need of pest houses. II
you value advice and experience use
this for that terrible disease"

THE NEW SOUTH.
q. A. r. Encampment- Sons Of Vet
erans-AtIanta Exposition.

4
! The month of September, 1895, will
ever be memorable to the Southern
States from the fact that SO many
events of a National character and of
National interest occurred during
this month on Southern soil.
For the first time in its history the
annual encampment of the G. A. R.
was held south of Mason and Dixon S
line in Louisville. from September II
to IA and the occasion was marked
by such fraternal ningling of the
blue and the gray as has never occur
red since they met in deadly strife on
numerous sanguinary fields of the
war
immediately following this great
gathering was the Battlefield En-
campment of the Sons of Veterans at
Knoxville, Tenn, September I6 to Ie.
and the dedication of the Chicamau-
ga-Chattanooga National Military
Park at Chattanooga. Tenn. on the
thirty-second anniversary of the ter
rible battle of Chickamauga, regarded
as the most desperate and sanguinary
struggle Of the war, on September 10
and 20.
The great event of the month and
year, however, to the South and in
deed to the entire country. is the
great Cotton States and International
Exposition at Atlanta, Ca, from Sep
TENDER IS to December 81, which is
second in size only. to the great
Columbian Exposition at Chicago.
These several great gatherings OF
the people in Southern cities within
month will doubtless accomplish
much in bringing about that good
feeling among all sections Of this
great country which has been too
long deferred, and will not only mark
new era for the South but for her
lines of transportation, for, but few
years ago, the railroads ofthatsection
were not equal to the task of carrying
quickly and comfortably SO many
people. The development of the
South within few years has been es-
pecially marked in the great improve
ment of her railroads, and this is par
ticularly true of that combination Of
heretofore independent trunk lines
into great system under a single
management, named the Southern
Railway, which in a comparatively
short time has become one of the fin
est railways in the country, reach
ing eyerypart of the South and South
west, with through connections with
the Pennsylvania and other leading
roads to all points of the East and
West.
An idea of its enterprise and capaci-
ty may be formed from the fact that
during the exposition it will run
three daily trains between New York
and Atlanta. consisting of the most
improved dining cars, vestibuled
coaches. and sleepers, making the
run in from twenty-five to twenty
four hours.
Upon the Southern dveolyes the
task of handling the greater part of
this augmented travel, especially to
Chattanooga and to the Atlanta Elk
position, where it is the only road
that can land passengers directly into
the exposition grounds at Piedmont
Park. T. E. c.

He washed her white with the siniess SHOWS

He nodded her r5untl white limbs with art,
He got her frosn heaven pare child heart.
Then he kiss a her lips and her brow and eyes

Summer has gone;
Oh, csn it be
We're fading, dying,
In glade and lea ?
The rose-tinted morn
With dew-drops rife,
Awakes no more
The clouds of life,
As daylight fades
And the tinkling bells
OF tiocks and herds
Sounds in the dells,
And stars of heaven
Glow on high,
And flush with light
The boundless sky.
Wen only wait.
For the winds sigh
To whisper farewell
As it passes by.
The graceful form,
The lovely head,
Bathed with fragrance
Will all be dead.
There's one / know,

Hank, she's comingl

In her tiny ear
The last sweet promise

When summer comes
With leaf and flower,
I'll garland the woods
And grace the bower.
Our harder sisters,
With grave, sweet faces,
Content to bloom
In. quiet places,
Will only sweeten
As days grow chill,
Their beauty delight
The faded hill.
Oh. the wide domain
OF their grazing power,
As they plying look
On summer flower.
