carelessness of Life In Africa.

Mpimbi is the beginning of the navi- gable water Used by the administration at Fort Johnson. The river is full of crocodiles. People are constantly being taken by them. Hoare shot a big croco- dile and found pair of bracelets in its stomach. The natives foolishly risk the water every day. They walk in knee deep to get water and even swim across the streams By making a small fence about the place where they get water many lives would be saved, but that means work, and each African thinks be will not be victim. m.-Diary of the late E.

Poisons engendered by food ferment- ing in . dvspeptic stomach are the di- rect cauee of rheumatism, gout, bron- chitis, liver and kidney complaints. asthma. pneumonia and many nervous ailments.
 These results are prevented by the use of the Shaker Digestive Cordial. a remedy discovered and prepared by the Shakers of Mount Lctanor, N. I. It is in itself food and has power to di- gest other food taken ,cih a. Thus it rests the diseased stomach and finally masters the worst cases of dyspepsia. It acts promptly and fresh strength and increase of weight soon follows. The first dose, taken immediately after eat ing, abates the pain and distress so dreaded by dyspeptics.

Washington. March 1S.-This ticket was
nominated at the caucus of the demo-
cratic members of the House this after
noon:
Joseph W. Bailey of Texas, for speaker
E. G. Bagby of the District of Column
bla, chaplain.
James ]. Kerr OF Pennsylvania, clerk.
H. H. Mohler of Illinois, sergeant-at-

T. B. stackhouse OF South Carolina,
postmaster.
Ike Hill OF Ohio, George Brewing of
Virginia, FELTON, Knight of Georgia and
James English OF California, special en-
ployes.
There has been for several weeks an
active canvass for the speakership nomi-
nation. The three candidates were Joseph
w. Bailey of Texas. Benton McMlIin OF
Tennessee and James d. Richardson of
Tennessee. Before the caucus met to-day
Mr.. Richardson withdrew, with the I'M
derstanding that he should be elected
permanent chairman of the democratic
caucus. This was supposed to narrow the
field to Messrs. Bailey and McMillin. but
after these gentlemen had been placed in
nomination a third candidate was pre-
| scented by Mr.. Terry of Arkansas, in the
person of Richard Bland of Missouri, the
| silver dollar candidate for presidential
honors at the Chicago convention. Mr..
Bailey proved to be an easy winner, Sc
curing a larger vote than both his rivals
combined. The five members of the New
York delegation, excepting Mr.. Sulzer,
| supported MIR. Bailey. the remainder of
his vote coming principally from the
south. The vote was: Bailey, Sc: McMil-
lin, 80; Bland, %.
Mr.. Bailey was awaiting the result in
| the appropriations committee room,
where a committee, consisting of Messrs.
| Sayres of Texas, Cox of Tennessee and
| Mcclellan of New York met him, and
after extending their congratulations, es-
! corted him to the House chamber, where
| he was received with applause. The
| young Texan assembled to the speaker
| platform and expressed his qualification
at the honor conferred upon him, and
| advoca ted harmony in the party.
The following resolution offered by Mr..
| Dockery of Missouri was adopted:
| Resolved, That a committee OF five
| representatives be appointed to confer
with the democratic senators for the pur-
pose of having a joint caucus of senators
and members during the Fifty-ffth con-
gress, to the end that harmony and uni
! formity of party action may prevail in
| the course to be followed by the demo-
| cratic senators and representatives"
The caucus then adjourned.

1t is to be hoped that Miss Georgia
Cayvan will take with her as pleasant
memories OF Savannah as she will leave
of herself in this city. She and her ex-
celent company have afforded theater-
goers here the opportunity OF witnessing
smooth. delightful performances of two
as bright and elevatlng plays as are be-

kind she presents, and as she presents 1t,
is a power for the refining of manners

in each act of Squire Kate, and Mary
Pennington, Spinster: but It is presented
in so unobtrusve manner that the spec
tator thinks only OF being amused, and
not Of being instructed. Miss Cayvan Is
a beautiful woman, of mobile features,
which depict the emotions naturally,
without a suggestion of staginess The
ease Of her acting Is Its charm, and the
secret of her success. Her grace is that
Of nature. not affectation, and her Joy or
sorrow that OF a womanly woman, not Of
an imaginary person.

owing undoubtedly TO the adverse wealth

that the next time Miss Cayvan visits
the city she will have fine weather, and
houses as full as her merits deserve.
