With election day, now three weeks
off, the distribution of campaign liter
ature in all the States has been vastly
increased. The Sun has received a set
of campaign cards whose texts are
short, clear, and incisive. They are
the work of well-known Democrat.
They have been sent into the middle,

They are intended to do effective work
in the closing days of the campaign.

Candidate Bryan is fond of quoting
Andrew Jackson. 0ne of the campaign
cards declares :
Andrew jackson was goldbug. In
his message Dec. 2, 1884, he said:
"The progress of our gold coinage is
creditable to the officers of the mint,
and promises in short period to fur
nish the country with sound and

M. Crosby, who visited London in

of any one who sneezed, which still pre-
vailed in his own country, had been
abolished in England by the use of snuff.

The climate of Guiana Ia not by any
means agreeable. Georgetown is within
six degrees Of the equator, and the mer-
curry generally fingers around 90 and
100 degrees. The land is also low and
rnarshy in places, so that fevers are
prevalent at all seasons of the year, and
q white man cannot live there unless he
takes extreme precantion to observe
certain essential rules. Negroes. ON the
contrary. can live anywhere and break
the health rules laid down for the white
settles. Yellow fever is an annual
plague in Georgetown. but the negro
population gives little thought to it, and
IL is uncommon to hear of one Of their
number taking 1t. The coolies, who
compose about one-third the population,
are more susceptible to the poor climate
than the negroes, but are much harder
than the whites. The coolies are a
lighter and more slender race than the
negroes, but they are industrious and
moderately faithful workers, while the
negroes are lazy and indolent. The real
hard and difficult work In the fields

A friend writes us from England: We
visited the simple tomb of William
Wordsworth in Grasmere churchyard.
The old church stood near it, among
the ancient trees. The rapid Rotha
passed the graves and the grand hills
lifted their green domes in the cloudless
sky.
We had ridden past the poet tuned
lakes of Windermere and Grasmere,
with memories of Coleridge, De Quin-
cey, Christopher North, Mrs. Henans
and Harriet Martineau, and had rested
by Rydal Water in tho shadows of Ry-
dial Mount.
Wordsworth, said one of our par
ty, calling to mind the author of the
Excursion, I" "seems TO be the soul Of
all these scenes. He made himself the
ever prevailing spirit of the English
lakes"
Burns was his teacher" said anoth-
or.
'How was thats' we asked.
There, under the grand trees lifting
their solemn tops to the sun. our friend
repeated single verse from Words
worth's poem on the death of Burns:
mourned with thousands. but as one
More deeply grieyed, for he was gone
Whose light hailed when first it shone
And showed my youth
How verse may build a princely throne
On humble truth.

however, seems to be mere opinion of
the witness. as he was quarter of
mile away from the place when the
whistle was sounded. In addition 1t
would, we think. be requiring too great
diligence for the engineer to whistle for
each particular dog. and more especial

each dog that any special whistle was
sounded for him. Upon these facts it
appears that the receivers were running

an almost insurmountable obstacle.

krenchmen Never Tire OK Talking OF Our
Queer Freaks.
The French people never tire of re-
hitting anecdotes of the eccentricity and
enormous wealth of Americans.

er's shop in Paris recently and found a
charming but poorly dressed girl en-
gagged in negotiations with the propri-
etor. She was Offering to sell him her
magnificent head Of hair for three napo-
leons--the man would give her no more
than one. At last the poor girl gave
way with tears, and the barber was
about to employ the fatal scissors when
the American interviewed and demanded
the cause Of the sad affair.
He found that the girls parents, who
formerly had been we'll off, were in the
last extremity of poverty, and that she
had determined to make SO great a sac
rifics In order to obtain them little
bread. The stranger drew out two bank
notes and offered them to the girl, say
ing:
"WilI you let me buy your hair?"
Without even looking at the notes, the
girl at once said, "Yes. .
The American delicately took single
hair, put 1t in his pooketbook--and fed.

her bank notes, and found them to be of

THE USE OF COCAINE.

Horse Trainers and Jockeys Find It USE
full rs q Bracer For Their Mays.
Within a recent period cocaine has
come into use ON the race track as a
stimnlant. Horses that are worn and ex-
hausted, or are uncertain as to speed and
endurance, are given 10 to IS grains Of
cocaine by the needle under the skin at
the time of starting. or few moments
before.
The effects are very prominent, and a
veritablo muscular delirium follows, in
which the horse displays unusual speed
and often unexpectedly wins the race.
This agitation continues, and the driver
has difficulty in Slowing down" the
horse after the race is over; not unfre-
quently the horse will 60 half way round
again before he can be stopped. The ex-
baustion which follows is not marked,
except in the great thirst and loss of ap-
petite. Sometimes diarrhea and trem-'
bling follow. But good grooms give I'M
usual attention to rubbing and bathing
the legs in hot water and stimulants.
The general effect on the horse is de-
preston, from which he soon RECEIVERS,
but it is found essential to give cocaine
again to make sure of his speed. The
action of cocaine grows more transient
as the use increases, and when long

horse becomes delirious and unmanage-

horse are strong evidence Of the use of
cocaine. - Cincinnati Enquirer.
