70 the waverly watchman:

Says the Waverly watchman:
"There has been . tradition handed
down from the dawn Of American his.
tory that the maidstone, II properly ap.
Piled to the wound made by . rabid
dog, would effect cure. The Indians
had some knowledge Of the wonderful
properties Of this stone, but from what
source they obtained it no one knows.
There are many who have no faith in its
curative powers. Webster's Inter
national dictionary refuses to give it a.
a word that could be defined.
As is known to many of our readers
Tilberry Crsbtree, of Beaver, is the
owner Of a maidstone, an account Of
which was published in the Watchman
few months ago, which has gained
considerable notoriety. A short time
ago the young son Of a gentleman named
Smalley, living in Columbus, was bitten
on the hand by a dog supposed to be
afflicted with hydrophobia. The father,
hearing of this stone, concluded to give
it trial. He came down on last Sun.
day, bringing the boy with him. He
found Mr.. Crabtree at the church. He
was called out, soon followed by the
entire congregation, as soon as they
learn what was going on. The min.
lister was in the midst of powerful
sermon on the nativity of Christ, but
seeing his congregation melting away
like frost before the morning sun he
seized his hat and followed the crowd to
witness the application. Mr.. Crabtree
conducted the visitors to his house and
the maidstone, after being immersed in
warm water to render it plisble, was
applied to the wound. An eye witness
says, when the stone was within an
inch of the wound on the boys hand,
the stone and the hand seemed TO be
drawn together. The stone clung tight
ly to the hand and efforts to shake it off
were Intellectual, and when the hand
was turned upside down the stone still
clung to it, The total length of the
adhesion was Sh. 25m. During the
application the perspiration from the
hand and arm gathered in large glob
ules and fell on the floor. The opera
ton was witnessed by all the physicians
in the village, who had to acknowledge
that there was something about it they
could not understand"

The New WOmans' Bible.

Rev. Arthur John Lockhart offers the
following sensible thoughts in Progress,
a journal printed at st. Johns, New
Brunswick
All honor to Mrs. Stanton, who is
every way worthy of the magnificent
ovation she lately received at the Met
ropolitan Opera House, N. Y, where
three thousand women assembled to re.
cord her praise. Yet not all her views,
especially along ecclesiastical and re-.
ligious lines, can meet with general ac.
ceptance, for some time, at least. We
have known a little of radicalism; but
it seems to us that Mrs. Stanton goes
not merely to the root, but several
fathoms under it, and undertakes what,
if she were successful, would, according
to DR.. j. NJ. Buckley, leave ''little pc.
culiar to christianity" Mrs. Stanton, it
appears, would have a revised bible,
from hich all which seems to imply
the subjection of her sex shall be ex.
plunged. She would have "the canon
laws, mosaic code, scriptures, prayer
books, and liturgies purged of all invid.
ious distinctions of sex, of all false teach
ing as to woman's origin, character and
destiny" She insists that all unworthy
reflections on the sacred character of
the mother of the race, such as the allie.
CORY of her creation and fall, and Paul's
assumption as to her social status" have
broad black mark drawn through them
at once, as sentiments incapable of in.
spring "the rising generations with re.
spect to their mothers" She demands
"that the pulpit be no longer desecrated
with men who read these invidious pas.
sages of scripture and preach from texts
that teach the subordination of one half
the human race to the other" In other
words, she requires the obliteration of
poetry and history, having to deal with
bards and chroniclers, from Homer and
Herodotus, downward she claims the
right to amend arbitrarily what purports
to be divine revelation, and to mutt.
late venerable and sacred institutions.
1t would seem that, in the present state
of mundane affairs, such sweeping
changes cannot be Immediately made.
Woman will be declared not equal, but
superior to man, before all these things
are done.
John Bright, with all his generous
could never bring himself to
believe in the great importance and
urgency OF the Woman's Suffrage move.
ment. He gave his vote against it, and
his opinion. in the following manner:
II act from belief that to introduce
women into the strife of political life
would be great evil to them, and that
to our own sex no possible good could
arrive. If women are not safe under
the charge and care of fathers, husbands,
brothers, and sons, it is the fault of our
non civilization and not OF our laws. As
civilization founded on Christian prin-
ciples advances, woman will gain all
that is right for them, although they are
not seen contending in the strife OF po.
litical parties"

"The Presidents message is an adroit
appeal to the profoundest passion of the
American people, said John ]. Ingalls, to

tonic, but we all hate England. 1t is

We feel that England is our only enemy
among the great powers of the earth.

the secret or open hostility of England,

tuous. But there will be no war. Like
all ruffians and bullies, England is a
coward and poltroon when it comes to
a showdown she never fights her

MINES AND MINERS

r. S. Dyas, secretary of the Barassa
Mining and Milling company, has late
ly returned from an eight-days' trip in
Kern county. where he made a thorough
inspection of the mining property of
the company, which is situated eight
miles northwest from Keene station, on
the Southern Pacific railroad. 1t is
the intention of the company to put in
a cyanide plant in the near future and
also additional machinery. This sec
tion OF Kern county, while not a poor
mans country. is exceedingly rich in
mineral and offers gilt edge investments
to the man of moderate capital Sever
al rich strikes have been made in the
past few months and there is a good
opening for a custom mill as plenty of
ore could be furnished from the start
The ore body is almost inexhaustible
and practical experience in handling
the ore with arrastas and stamp mills
demonstrates the fact that there is
big money in treating the ore.
Numbers of people who are going in

regions for the first time seem to think

date for governor and appoint twelve
electors, met at noon today with small
attendance, though the chief party
leaders were on hand:
Cyclone" Davis of Texas spoke and

who is permanent chairman of the con-
vention, was nominated for governor,
though he insisted that he did not want

didate for governor two years ago.

yetteville and ]. T. Miller of Hartsville
presidential electors for the state at
large, the executive committee was
granted plenary powers to transact all
business and do all things necessary for
promoting the party interests, after
the convention adjourns. The giving OF
plenary powers to the executive COM
mittee Is understood to mean that this
committee will have to make or consider
all proposals for fusion on presidential
electors. The Republican state exec
