Scared the Sultan.

French republic, died from stroke of
apoplexy! Nobody ever heard Of that,
except the subjects of the Sultan, and
this is explained as follows in La Jeune
Turquie, a bi-monthly periodical just
started in Paris by the Young or Liberal
Turks: Everybody has known the
criminal attempt which cut off the life
of M. Carnot. But as soon as the news
reached Constantinople the papers were
ordered not to mention it. Still, as the
Sultan was made TO understand that it
was impossible to conceal fact like the
death of the regretted President of the
French republic, Abdul Hamid an
swered: let them say that he died
from apoplexy.' He feared that the
event might suggest to one of his SUBJ
jects the idea of initiating Caserio."

Comstock Mine Under a Cloud

That the Comstock is under a cloud
Just now none of it's best friends will
deny But there is no reason for grow
ing faint-hearted over the situation.
There is plenty of new ground IN the
vicinity of the old work, quite as pro-
life in mineral, and perhaps equally as
rich if the truth were only known. AS
a low-grade proposition, the main ledge
if we may be SO permitted to term
that upon which most of the old mines
are situated-will yet afford abundant
and lucrative opportunities for mining.
Persistent search, while so far of late
comparatively fruitless, may, perhaps,
if kept up persistentlly, yet revive an
other bonanza block of ground to set the
entire lode in another blaze of excite
ment But. pending that, there is a
wide field for exploratory work in alb
solutely virgin ground.-Virginia Enter

Many Western Farmers TranspIanted to

They Propose to Raise Vegetables and
Begin n New Era of Prosperity.
1t seems as if the tide of immigration
which tho south has been waiting for so
long had mt last set in. In Georgia. for in
stance, settlers from the west and north
west are coming at the rate of several hun
dred per week, and mushroom towns are
Swinging up in tho midst of the great
pine forests in a manner truly surprising.
Some of these settlers are travelling, as
did tho old pioneers, in caravans of can
vas covered wagons, but the majority of
them are taking advantage of the cheap
rates offered by various southern railroads.
1t is the railroad companies who are largo
ly responsible for this exodus. The man
ayers were farsighted enough to see that
If they could populate the vast uninhabit-
cd tracts through which their roads run
for every dollar invested in getting set
tiers there they would get $40 or perhaps
800 in return. So they have literally sowed
the west with circulars and pamphlets adj
vertising the country and describing its
advantages in glowing terms. They have
made liberal reductions in freight and pas,
scnger rates to intending settlers and arc
now just beginning to reap some of the
fruits of their labOrs.
Tn movement has now n big start. Col
onics have been formed to locate in many
places in suu.iern Georgia, northern Ala
bama, Tennessee, Mississippi, Louisiana,
Texas ail ARKANSAS. Many western towns
have lost hundreds Of mechanics and farm
erS, and 500 cinus has this migration be-
como that some western railroads and
