 .You American people-you are the queer est lot on Gods green earth!' and the Engiishman called attention to hteie scene being enacted in the street Just pe- meath the window the other day.
 An old Confederate veteran, in the worn and weather-beaten gray uniform, carry = ing his tattered red flag. with it's cross or stars and inscription, "42d Georgia fesi. ment,' had stopped to exchange word or greeting with a dapper young United states regular in spick-an-span blue uniform and perky cap The two shook nanos COT dially. The old veteran pulled off his gray slouch hat and pointed out to the young soldier how "the Yankee bullets most turned it into sitter" The young fellow in blue shouldered the old flag, saying It was .too heavy toy for a chap of your age to be a-pIaying with on hot day, pinned little star-spangled banner on the front of the gray uniform, ana the pa. went off rejoicing to drink together over the late unpleaSantneSs.

ADEFNAr FoRDEMot RACY

From the Atlanta Constitution.
 The news which comes from Florida of the defeat in the democratic state conven- ton of a proposition to adopt the primary system can scarcely be regarded by those anxious for the good of the party in any other light than as defeat for the people, and that means a defeat for true demo- cracy
 We are not familiar with the objections urged in Florida against the extension of the primary system, but it is difficult to believe that the conditions in that state other states in the south as would warrant departure from the steady growth toward popular control of party affairs which the wisdom of the party in other states has dictated
 There is nothing more certain than that the primary system in vogue here ihaGeor- ga and In other states of the south Is a magnificent success. Again and again has this been demonstrated, and the sporadic efforts of the disgruntled in these states to restore the old order of courthouse con- vention and ring rule have only served to emphasize the wisdom of the primary plan. How could it be otherwise? The primary I svstenmeans nothing more nor less than placing the control of part,a fairs in the
 hands of the democratic voters, wher such control rightly belongs. The only dan gelts that have threatened the party Tn th south in recent years have been thes 1 growing out of the dissatisfaction WitR'th ring rule that seems to be the necessar! accompaniment of the courthouse conven | tions
 It is democratic to trust the people Ih party derives it's strength from the fac that it is the party of the people, and ever! | act which tends to take the control or part. affairs out of the hands of the voters cal only result in weakening the party In tn town or county or state where that ei1or is made The Constitution has no disposi tion to critisise the wisdom of the florid' | state convention, but the announcement that accompanies the report of 1ts actloh- that this was brought about by the 'cohser vatiye wing'-sounds ominous TOO oitei in Florida, as in other states, has tnls so called conservatism been the cloak De hinh which have hid willy politicians ant the agents of interests seeking to controi It is to be hoped this is not the case Tn LII | present instance.

It is reasona- be to suppose that with some minor de- auctions the peace terms will be accepted This, it is believed helped early prices, but around the noon hour the market was considerably sold off on the decrease in corn in the west. This reaction we antici- pated in our Saturdays letter. This was done to bring about more healthy condi- ton. Prices advanced steadily, making new records. Tobacco showed activity, and made a gain of over 1 per cent, while Gas showed more strength and will sell high CT, We think the next movement will be in the Goulds' district, and advise buying Western Union, Missouri Pacific, Manhat- tan and the whole list in general. Closing prices were about the best for the day. Sugar showed covering strength. It may be a sale tomorrow.

The move ment was 'nn+t. liberal, Chicago receiving 1O6 cars. win estimates tomorrow of 469 cars This shows that farmers are taking advantage of the rise in prices to market some of their wheat. Europe bought some wheat Prices broke nearly two cents from the highest price,
 Shows report was rather bullish on crop conditions, but the local crowd and St. Louis thought differently, consequently the bearish sentiment prevailed and the weakness recorded above followeds The closing was firm at Ac above the lowest and we prefer buying to selling. The vis- ible decreasae was three-quarters of million or less than expected. Corn held firm, despite reports of rains throughout Nebraska. Provisions were bought early by commission houses. but packers turned sellers, causing a slight decline

The Mount Holly news. [volume] (Mount Holly, Burlington Co., N.J.) 1891-1942, 1898-03-15

An English physician relates an in
stance of lady who was stung by a
bee. At the first moment she seemed to
pay very little attention to it, but very
soon her face became flushed and spots
appeared all over her body. Suddenly
she developed most severe attack of
asthma, finding great difficulty in
breathing. Another instance is that of
young lady who was stung on the
back of her head by an ordinary honey
bee. In less than five minutes her face
began to swell, and very marked red
and white spots appeared all over the
surface of the body. The swelling ex-
tended over the entire person, accompa
MED by severe pain, burning and giddi-
ness. The eyes were almost closed and
the countenance was so distorted as to
be unrecognizable Very free bathing
in soda water, with little soda taken
internally, and hot applications to the
feet and thorough massage finally afford
ed relief, but it was some hours before
the patient recovered from what was
truly an alarming condition. Violent
attacks of nervousness accompanied the
trouble, and the sense of sutfocation
was almost intolerable. The young wo-
man had been stung a number Of times
before without any apparent unpleasant
result. The physicians were of the opfn-
ion that the bee had been feeding upon
some extremely poisonous plant, which
became concentrated in the venom Of
the sting. Be that as it may, the condi-
ton was such as to excite grave appre
hension, the more so as it was several
days before recovery was complete
