French Horses, However, Are Superior to
Those Used Here.
The French horseman does not ride
as well as his prototype in the United
States regular army, but the horses Of
the French army are better and more
serviceable than those in the United
States The half bred barbs of the
chasseurs are up to any amount of work,
and the heavier Normans and Bretons
of the dragons and cuirassiers although
perhaps too light for the weight they
carry, are splendid specimens of horse
flesh. The French artillery-believed
elsewhere than in France to be the corps
d'elite Of the army-was beyond praise.
The physique of the personnel of the
field and horse batteries is superior to
that of the line, and the average eff
cheney of the officers is higher The
steel gun that it is armed with is a
most effective weapon--the fieldpiece
of 80 nm, weighing TO- 3 hundred
weight, and firing 9S pound com
mon she'll, IS. 5 pound shrapnel; the
horse artillery gun weighing SO hun
dredweight, with a ID Is pound com
mon shell and a 3. 81 shrapuel
The large number of batteries at
tached to an army corps-more than
four guns to 1000 infantry and cav
alry--is not the only indication that
the French place great reliance upon
their artillery The batteries as they
marched past presented an admira-
bic appearance The old maxim Of
"spit and polish" was not as mi
nutely carried out as is the case with
the batteries Of the United States regu-
lar army, The steel names and collar
chains We're in some instances not as
bright as they might have been, nor
We're the leather harnesses absolutely
immaculate, but the horses are beyond
criticism, and everything pertaining to
each piece and each caisson is thorough
ly serviceable and businesslike. New

in office for some time after the eX-
piration of the four years term for

until after the election next fall, or
at least until after the next republic
can nomination for congressman.
This course is sought to be Justified
asa proper reward Of gold democrats
for their services to the republican
party in the campaign Of 1896. such
pretense is an insult to gold demo-
Gratis, and well calculated to cast
doubt upon the unselfishness oftheir
patriotism. The term 'pretense" l.
used advisedly for there is reason to
believe that the real purpose OF the
proposed course in relation to this
and other postoflices in this district
is to advance the ambitions OF Bah
cock, and perhaps other republican
politicians.
There are three or four republicans
Of the city (and the writer is not one
of them) who aspire to be postmas-
ter. They are all reputable citizens,
who have done valiant service

for the duties of postmaster, and
there is no room to doubt that either
Of them would prove faithful ollie
ial Each Of them has deservedly
many warm friends ready TO endorse
him for the appointments, but it is en-
tireiy safe TO assert that the prefer

us. The day set apart should be OBJ
served by such gatherings in places
Of worship and around the family

DEsTITUr1oN STARING THE STRIKING MINERS IN THE FACE-LAB0R DAY IN
 WHEELING.
Real Demonstration in Favor of Miners Banners Declaring Against "Pluch-Me Stores" and Government by
 Injunction.

WHEELING, Aug. 26.-Today was Labor Day in Wheeling, and it is be- ing made in reality demonstration in favor of the striking coal miners. The miners were given the advance column, and there were over a thou sand of them in line, with represen- tatives from all the mining districts of the upper Pan Handle and cas- tern Ohio. Their banner and devil ces chiefly declared against the 'pluck-me-store" and government by injunction. Throughout the pa- rade, hich included all the trades unions in the middle Ohio valley, the same sentiments were found on banners. At the picnic on the state fair grounds, are booths, where help for miners can be given, and many dollar ordinarily spent for good cheer at Labor Day pienics is going into the miners fund. 1t is all needed too, for Restitution is staring the strikers in the face, and at Wheeling, Creel and Dillonvale many are hungry.

MAPLE SUGAR.
Widespread Ignorance on the Part of
 Consumers.

Widespread Ignorance on the Part of
 Consumers.
 Speaking of maple sugar brings to mind the fact that there is no product of the farm concerning which there is greater ignorance on the part of con sumers than maple sugar and sirup. It seems to be almost the universal opinion that maple sirup to be genuine must bs dark ill color and of thick, heavy body. 1 have carefully studied this mat ter, and l am convinced that dealers in large towns and cities are largely re- sponsible for this. Maple sirup is one of the easiest things to doctor" For in- stance, gallon of strictly pure, light colored maple sirup is received, and for eign substances, as cane sugar or glu- cose, are added and three gallons made, and all are branded ''pure maple sirup.
 Some years ago I stepped into a gro cery store in the city of Denver and in- quired if they had any genuine maple sirup. "Oh, yes'-and I was shown cans branded pure Vermont maple sirup." I asked the grocer if he would kindly let me taste sample. He did so, and as l looked up l suspect he be- gan to tsmell mice'' and asked if I was manufacturer of the article I said, Yes, and I ship it every spring to your city" Seeing he was fairly caught, he said: The fact is I cannot fool you, see This sirup of ours was probably made in Chicago. 7
 Last spring I sent gallon by re- quest to q pastor of church in Brock lyn who in his boyhood days used to live on q farm ill Chenango county and knew what real maple sirup was. We sent him gallon of early make, of light amber shade, and at once received word that the sirup was entirely ahead of any he had ever seen, and that it was an utter inipossibility to procure such in tho city.
 Why is it impossible? 1 know fine sirup is made and shipped. The fact is, as 1 said before, the consumer is not allowed to taste that fine. light colored, genuinely pure article, for once he gets taste of it the trade for the bogus ar tiele is. gone. A few days ago a friend told me he sent pound of fine sugar, Att~3C ti-t OA OGI lA14AlIc, u u1o mother in Baltimore. The cake weighed IS ounces, and as 1t went by mail it cost him IS cents postage The letter carrier who delivered 1t said 1t must be something valuable to pay so much postage. The lady said she could guess what it was t was 8 cake of maple sugar her boy had sent her from New York.
 As the carrier lived close by the lady told him to come in during the evening and she would show him something good. IIe did so, but the moment he saw 1t he said: You can't fool me. That ism 7 maple sugar. Maple sugar Is always black She chopped off 6 cor ner and told him to sample it. He de- clared he had never seen maple sugar before and wanted ths lady to write and order him 100 po4ads. The sugar was shipped, cash re4siyed, and one man learned that mapY sugar, i'll order to De genuine, need n45 be black as a ss0vepiae' T Country c Glntleman.

PANDEMON|UM
REIaNED SUPREME ON A RAIL.
 RAILROAD TRAIN.
A Passenger Becomes Suddenly De
 mented Causing Great Alarm.

From parties who were passen- gers on Friday afternoons west bound train on the Valley Road we learn of Q violent and distressing scene which created no small de- gree of alarm among the passengers.
 When the regular Little Rock passenger train was about four miles west of Warner there was a shrill whistle and sudden shutting down of brakes, which foreboded some kind of impending disaster The train was brought to a quick stop, and the cause thereof was found to be large tree, which had been blown across the track.
 Nearly all the passengers vacated the coaches and went out to view the obstruction which temporarily obstructed their progress. Only a few passengers remained in the coaches, among whom were Mai. N. T. White and Mr. M. A. Austin, the Well-known attorneys of this city who had been in attenance upon the Circuit Court at Warner
 While the track was being cleared and the train was standing still, a man named Smith, who was &C., companied by his wife and who re- mained in one of the coaches, be- came suddenly and violently demented. Smith began to abuse his wife and threatened to kill her. The woman appealed to Maj. White for protection. Maj. White started for Smith and a scuf1e ensued, in which Maj. White was scratched about the head and face. Other parties came to Maj. Whites as- sistance, and soon Smith was over powered and quieted.
 On the train was also a young lady from Monticello who was en route to tl-e State Insane Asylum, in charge of her father. Smith had hardly been qpieted when the young woman, overcome by the excitement, became hyster- ical and began to yell and scream.
 At this Smith again broke loose and pandemonium reigned supreme. All was excitement and turmoil in the car. 1t was as if bedlam had been turned loose. Finally the young lady passed off into 3 dead faint ard was not revived until her arrival at the Pine Bluff depot, whither a physician had been sum- moned by telegraph to attend her. In the meantime Smith bad been again overpowered and then hand cuffed, and when the train pulled out from Pine Bluff, all was quiet on board.
 It is needless to sag that tue Pine Bluff pass 3 sss:,s. sssss;ssEla s5 arrive at their place of destination and be relieved from what seemed to be Q mad house.

From the Plantation.

Pine Bluff, Ark, Aug. 28, 1897. DEAR SIRs:-
 The condition of the crop in this section has been less favorable since our letter of the 18th; we have had no rain since the 12th and complaint caused by dry weather is becoming general.
 The heat for the past few days has been intense, and the river districts that have heretofore been so four ishing are suffering severely.
 We hear constant reports of she'd ding, resulting from the drought; hot winds and lack of moisture are drying up the sap in the stalk, causing tito throw off blooms and bolls in all stages of development.
 Some reports of damage from rust, sharp shooters and boil worms have been received from the bot toms. The crop IS backward, great harm has already resulted from the causes named and unless we have a radical change at once the damage to the crop in this State will be something immense.
 We have received thus far only five bales Of new cotton against 300 for the corresponding time last sea son. It is too hot to pick what is opening and we do not expest q free movement from this point until per haps the latter part of September.
 Very Truly, Yours,
