Versatile Sailor Men.

The versatility of the man who has
been educated on Il sailing vessel will
bear investigation. He has not only to
be a sailor and IL rigger, but is some
thing Ut IA carpenter, IA sailmaker, a
cook, tailor, a barber and blacksmith
and has speaking acquaintance with
several other trades. A thoroughbred
sailor can in fact, turn his hand to al
most anything that comes up and do it
as we'll as, if not little better than the
average, and he would find himself in
a pickle lots of times if it We're not for
that same versatility.-New York Trib-

Ask any physician his opinion of this

We take great pleasurein recommending the
Braddock Pure Rye to all seeking or desiring
to obtain an absolutely pure rye whiskey as a
beverage or for medicinal uses Ask your
dealer for it; don't be induced to take some
thing else. If he does not keep it, order di-
rectly from us.
A prominent physician of Macon, Ga.
writing us a few weeks ago, says:
in point of purity, flavor, strength and
delicate tone, | have never seen your Brad
dock Pure Rye equaled, and shall take great
pleasure in recommending it to my sick.'
To those who are so unfortunate as to be
sufferers from Indigestion dyspepsia, or any
pulmonary trouble, we beg to recommend
our own Braddock Pure Barley Malt dis
titled from Canadian Barley Malt and noun.

Since succeeding the above named firm,
whose entire stock, fixtures and good will we
have purchased, we have remodeled the cele-
brated Braddock Dstllery in all Its APP
purtenances, until it now stands without a
rival as one of the most complete plants in
the United States for the manufacture of a
perfectly pure all-rye Whisky for medicinal
or other purposes, free from fusel or other
poisonous oils so frequently found in less
reliable goods.
We have testimonials from leading phys
icians IN all parts of the country commencing
the b addock for its medicinal properties.
Among the latest is one from Professor
j. H. Malet. the distinguished chemist of
the University of Virginia, who, at our re
quest made a very careful analysis of it, and
writes as follows:
The sample of Braddock sent me upon
analysis contains no sulphates nor heavy
metals such as copper, lead or zinc, and APP

Railroad Travel In China Seems to Have
Its Drawbacks.
Having engaged coupe i'll the train

the train, it was horribly dirty.
asked for an explanation of the mat
ter, and for answer was conducted to
another part of the train which appeared
a little cleaner, but still the coupe was
very dirty and only had the advantage
of having table, which the first one
had not, it having been broken up by
some former occupant.
After the train began to move a most
vile smell came from the adjoining COM
partment On asking why such state
of things was permitted was told that
Chinese mandarins were dirty people

ard of cleanliness.
Two young Cantonese are in the same
carriage with me, and l ask them why
the railway is SO badly managed and
the cars so dirty. They inform me that
they are related to one of the directors,
and that no doubt the dirt arose from
the number of strangers who had travel
ed lately by the line, who do not under
stand western sanitary arrangements
i'll fact, never were in train before.

many intelligent readers. | see
from the reading of the republican
papersythat the so-called republi-
cans are trying to delude the minds
Of the people by attempting to
make it appear that the present
hard times are due to democratic
administration, in affecting the pres
ent prices of farm products. They
infer the idea that all this mischief
is due to free trade, brought about
by the Wilson bill. Now, if that is
so, why is it that after the passage
of the bill the republicans, both
small and great, made their boasts
that the democrats had not effected
anything in the tariff issue; that
they,through strategem, had pre-
vented any material change in the
scheme. They said that it was cut
and carved and revised until its
daddy, Mr.. Wilson, would not know
it when he saw it. They also de
clared that the democrats didn't t
want any reduction in the tariff;
that they were convinced that free
trade was only a twaddle, and the
democrats believed IN protection
also. They also said the democrats,
being in power, were too cowardly
or lacked ability to run the bust
ness of the government, they had
done nothing and the rascals must
be turned out. Remember, when
they talked this they wanted Office
and they got it. Now they want
Office again and hard times yet grow
worse under their, officiating, and
they come now with the cry that
the democrats have turned the

The reports from Cuba still continue
to be SO contradictory that it is impos-
sible to tell what is actually happening
there. 1t seems pretty certain, however,
that the insurgents have succeeded in
getting into the province of Havana, and
have destroyed many sugar plantations
there as well as In the province of Ma
tansas. The story that they are going to
attack the city of Havana is doubtless
purely the Pigment of somebody's imagi-
nation. They probably do not mum Der
more than 5000 or 5000 men, poorly armed
and supplied, and in no condition to
do heavy fighting. Probably the pur-
pose of their march into Havana was
purely the destruction of property, and
when they have accomplished that they
will fall back to the everglades,
where they have defenses constructed
and where the Spaniards cannot get at
them. The singular thing is that they
should be able to travel all over the is
land with impuuity, with SO many
Spanish troops in the field. TheIisland is
not very wide and with any sort OF man.

troops ought to have intercepted then,
