PATIENCE.

Weep not because the sunshine to thy days
By some dark cloud of sorrow is etfaced
Nor think, because thou canSt not see It's rays.
That life hencefOrth must be a dreary waste.
Hast thou not watch'd the brilliant summer sky
Grow dull and dim with manya passing shower?
And vet. as each successive storm swept by.
1t Seemd more calm and lovely than before.
50 shall it be with thee! The darkest night
At length must usher in the rising day.
And soon around thy path 1t shall be llgnt.
And Hopes bright beams chase all thy grief
away.

handicapped by sharp and bitter strug- gle for the nomination.
 Upon this point the Watchman in it's last issue has the following sensible edi- torial which embodies the views of majority of the democrats in Hale:
 Governor Oates has stated positively and emphatically that he will not be a candidate for renomination to the posi- tion he now holds. In view of this fact the Watchman takes occasion to say that 1t hopes that there will be no contest made for the democratic nomination for governor. The party, in the face of the strong opposition that has developed against 1t, is in no condition to be torn asunder by the strife and bitterness that would be engendered by two or more ri- val candidates for the position. Demo- cratic success next year Is of much more importance to the people of Alabama, and especially those in the black belt. than the money question or any other question. We fear the result If the party is forced into hot factional fight for the nomination for the governorship.
 We are an admirer of Grover Cleve- land. have supported his administrations and are what Is known in common par lance as gold bug, yet we had rather see democratic free silver man gov ernor of Alabama than to hazard the success of the party at the polls next year by a bitter contest between dem ocrats for the nomination for governor There are thousands of sound money men of the same opinion"

NO FURTHER DETAILS
Of Radford or Randolph's Trial in Colombia. Deaths in Montgomery Since
 Saturday.

Montgomery, Nov. 25.-(Special)- Nothing further, that can be accounted definite, has been learned in the matter of Judge Randolph's trial in Colombia. His intimate friends. however, are evil dently possesse dof some gratifying n- formation, for they say they have assur- ances he is all right
 A prominent Montgomerian, it is re- ported, received some time since paper published in Colombia in Spanish which gave detailed account of the killing of Simmons. When translated this account stated that the killing of Simmons took place in the business place of the latter and that after shooting him Radford walked out of the store and was con- fronted by a number of citizens of Cali attracted by the shots. They made an eHort to arrest Radford. upon which he drew two pistols and with one in each hand defed the crowd, and slowly made his way to the place to which he had secured quarters.
 The general darmieS, or military po- lice. were notified of the killing. and they surrounded the house in which Radford or Randolph. had his quarters, fully ex- pectlng he would not submit without a bloody battle, but he laid down his arms and surrendered without a struggle.
 Radford was lodged in jail, charged with the murder of Simmons, and after his incarceration, it was stated in this ac- count, he opened communication with the representative of the United States to secure the intervention of the govern ment in his behalf.
 What was the result of his trial, if it had been held. was not known by the Montgomerian who had this paper. and there is nothing later from Colombia than the account published by the State Herald Sunday.

On March 4, 1887, while in the discharge of his duty as yardmaSter or the Louls- vile and Nashville road in this city Bar ney Baldwin was knocked off of ca- boose. The fall dislocated his shoulder. Six cars and the engine ran over him. In trying to save himself he swung his arm over the break beam of the caboose. That threw him against frog, break ing his right arm at the elbow and ms left leg at the ankle. His right leg was twisted up in the footboard of the engine and broken in two places. The ash pan of the engine broke his neck and five ribs, three on one side and two on the other. The sixth cerebral vertabrae of his neck was broken and the joint be- tween the sixth and seventh split. He was unconscious for thirty-six hours and blind for fourteen days and was com pelled to lie on water mattress for 127 days. His watch was crushed out of sight into his bowels and an iron bolt was driv- en into him with force enough to break his collar bone.
 Dr. J. B. Luckie of this city attended Baldwin, set his broken bones and dressed his wounds. No hope was enter tained of his recovery at first but as time passed and he still lived physician and friends gradually regained hope and ex- erted every effort to restore him. They succeeded and today Baldwin. notwith- standing the broken neck and broken ribs and limbs, Is hale and hearty and tips the scales at 19S pounds and is one of the jolliest of men.
 Shortly after he got up MT. Baldwin put himself on exhibition in the various large cities of the country and gave short lectures. Thousands of people 1ocked to see him until he is known all over the world.
 He has made 1t a custom to distrib- ute a large per cent of all his net pro- ceeds to charity, and last week as the re- suit of four days stand in Anniston he distributed $2OO, two-thirds of his net proceeds.
 His brother is in the city arranging for him to give exhibitions here next week.

 Prof. Arnold of the University of New York: "I consider that each and every ingredient of oleomargarine but ter or butterine is perfectly pure and wholesome, that the oleomargarine butter differs in no essential manner from the butter made from cream. It is great discovery, blessing for the poor, in every way perfectly pure, wholesome and palatable article.
