INV" -
Detroit, Mich. Aug. 4-Last evening a
box about one foot square was delivered
by an expressman at the house of d. w.

Mr. Morrill, inspected the box, and re-
fused to open It, William Tacks. a de-
livery clerk, happened along. and volun-
teered to open the box. He went at it with
hammer, Mr.. Morrill, standing in the
background. Suddenly there was a glare.
a crash and the report of a terrific ex-
plosfon. The clerk received the fun force
of the internal machine, for such il prov

burned. An examination showed the box
was loaded with nitroglycerine, and was
strong enough to have killed a dozen men.
BY some lucky chance the machine did
not explode with fun force. Morrill, is n
Pingree fourth-termer, and claims that
his enemies are attempting to kill him.
No clue to the identity of the sender is
known.

tory of the royal yacht squadron.
The number Of large yachts now here is
much greater than usually takes part in

ing trim, will be sailed for over the Queens
course on Wednesday. This is the first
year the cup has been offered.

What tie South needs are sma!!

that there is any country ON the

In my opinion, the South will never
become financially independent until
she raises her own breadstutts ano
makes cotton secondary or surplus

consideration should be the cultivation
of the sail for home supplies. II, tor
the next FIVE years the Soutn shoulc
