When it was the fashion for young
Englishmen to go up in balloons with
Green, the we'll known aeronaut, Al
bert Smith, a friend of Dickens and
esteemed wit, assembled one day be-
fore an admiring crowd of on-lookers.
Waving his hand to a young lady, an
acquaintance of his, as he was starting,
he said, "If l come down again 1 will
bring you a skye terrier" He came
down again, with the terrier. eve

A Definition of Home.

A beautiful definition of home was
given by Lady Aberdeen in the ad-
dress delivered by her before the re-
cent meeting at Toronto of the Nation
al Council of Women. "What is that
indefnable something that makes a
home; that reveals itself in the books
and pictures, in the arrangement Of the
rooms. in the preparation of guest, in
the tones Of the children, in the express
sion of husband and wife? We can
not describe it, but we recognize it at
once when it is present, and no house
can be truly a home without some
measure of it.. We do not need just
houses we can eat heartily and sleep
we'll, but we want homes, full of rest
and peace, and beauty and refresh
ment."

A special to the Sentinel from john
son City, Tenn, says Senator Jeter
Prichard, of North Carolina, in speech
at that place, said of the democratic
party:
"The republican party is the busi-
ness mans party, while thieves, dead
beats, tramps, crooks, ballot box stuff
fers, rebels, traitors, niger killers and
every low, debased order of lazy peo-
pie make up the democratic party, who
when they go to hell will be found
holding negro between them and the
fire. The democrats have neither the
honesty nor the sense necessary to
manage the affairs this great nation
and they never will have chance
again.
We clip and reproduce the above on
ly to show what debased and hellish
brutes, partisan politics can make OF a
''Darwenian" off cast. If the above
comes from Senator what can we ex-
pect of common voter? We believe
the republican party holds some as
good, upright and honest men as any
party that exists, but any man who
holds the views as expressed by this
Senator Prichard is disgrace to the
earth on which he lives, is an unfit as
sociate for the most degraded specimen
of humanity and will make spirit un'
fit for the association of hells elect. II
there are degrees in hades this honor
ed Senator should be chosen "Grand
Master" bby acclamation. Wartract

Question Answered.

Yes, August Flower still has the
largest sale of any medicine in the
civilized world. Your mothers and
grandmothers never thought Of using
anything else for Indigestion or Bilious
ness. Doctors were scarce, and they
seldom heard of Appendicitis, Nervous
Prostration or Heart failure, etc. They
used August Flower to clean out the
system, and stop fermentation of undi-
gested food, regulate the action of the
liver, stimulate the nerves and organic
action Of the system, and that is all
they took when feeling dull and bad
with headaches and other aches. You
only need few doses of Green's Au-
gust Flower, in liquid form, to make
you satisfied there is nothing serious
the matter with you. For sale by deal

1t is a curious instance of the futility
of human endeavor in general that
George Washington was the only per
son voted on who received the ballot
of the whole committee. There were
others in the list who had done as mnch,
whose support in committee was abstrd-
ly small in comparison. On the other
hand there were others elevated to an
extravagant extent beyond their me-
rits. For instance, William E. Chan
ming, mere plsHorm "'sputer," who
exercised no influence outside Of Bos-
ton, gets more votes than John James
Audubon, the greatest of American
naturalists, and more than Elias Howe
the inventor of the sewing machine.
The whole affair falls short of its in
tention. 1t may we'll be doubted if
those who are honored therein have
got either their deserts or their de-
merits. Memphis Scimitar.

IsoIate Latin America and the United
States in Arbitration
Washington, Oct. 2I.-Among lead
ing South and Central American GipIo-
matists in Washington consideration is
being given TO n plan for establishing
an International court of arbitration
similar to The Hague tribunal, but
having Jurisdiction over countries of
the western hemisphere, and with
headquarters probably in Washington
Although the project has not as yet
taken formal shape it is received with
so much favor that it is sure to be
formally presented TO the coming Pan,
American congress, which win assem-
bic at the City of Mexico
None of the South or Central Ameri-
can countries was represented at The
Hague conference, nor would The
Hague tribunal have jurisdiction over
their differences. But they always
have been strongly favorable to arDi-
tration, and most Of their border trOu-
bleS are settled by this means. For
that reason it is believed among their
diplomatic representatives here that n
permanent tribunal would be of great
advantage to them. One of the most
influential members of the corps said
yesterday that the Forthcoming plan
probably would model the court after
that at The Hague.
