One Cure for Hiceoughs.

A Binghamton man began to hiccough
last Saturday, says the Cleveland Plain
Dealer He hiccoughed up all day and
all night, and was hard at it Sunday
morning Every remedy that his alarm
ed friends gave him seemed to accelerate
the hicks. People sent in from all over
town recommending sure cures. And he
steadily grew worse.
Then a wise neighbor had bright idea.
He thought it all out by himself. He
went over to the hiccougher's home, and
was ushered into the room where the A.
fiicted one was fast hiccoughing his life
away.
"Hullo!" said the neighbor, in light
and cheerful tone; "hows the old soak
this morning?'
The sufferer rolled his eyes at the
neighbor in a painful surprise.
Don't give me any of your crocodile
glances," snorted the friend. IF you'd
quit drinking when 1 told you to you
wouldn't be in this shameful condition"
''Wha-hic-did you-hic-call me?" he
suffered.
Called you sponge, you lobsterv bel
lowed the neighbor. You're pretty OBJ
ject lesson for your unfortunate children,
amt you, you gulping old hypocrite?"
get out of my-hic-house," roared the
sick man.
Go to blazes!' yelled the neighbor.
I'm going to stay right here and see the
last of you. The people on the street
sent me over. Wait until the old VOLTS
gone they said, and then wave a flag
out o the window They're going to
have jollifcation supper and fireworks
to-night-end don't you dare to disap-
point emf
This was too much for the hiccougher
He said several very bad words as he
made dash at the neighbor, and they
raced around the room half a dozen
times the hiccougher getting madden at
every jump, and then the neighbor darted
through the door and escaped.
The sick man flung a flower pot at him
as he raced down the yard, and then he
suddenly realized that his hiccoughs had
gone.
For that was a part of the nighbor's
theory, you see. He believed that if he
could get the dying man real excited and
angry the affiiction would leave him. And
he proved he was right.

1t Was His Deal.

In connection with the strenuous efforts
now being made to suppress gambling
frauds on the great ocean steamers says
the Baltimore Sun. someone has recalled
a story which old Captain Judkins, of
the Cunard Line-in his day the most
famous of Atlantic captains-used to tell.
There were stringent rules against gamb-
ling on the Cunarders, but there was
another company that was most lenient
In the matter. One day hot game was
in progress on one of the boats of the
latter line. There were several Rockers
on, among them the ships captain, who
had strolled in for a moment Another
bystander noticed that one of the play
ers. while dealing, dealt himself cards
from the bottom of the pack and fortified
himself with four aces. Shocked at the
fraud, the bystander looked at the cap
tain, but the captain gave no sign OF hav-
ing seen the trick. Pulling him away
from the table the bystander said: Did
you see that, captain?" See what?" was
the retort. ''Why, that fellow dealt him
self four aces" "Well, wasn't 1t his
deal?"

BUILDING FOR THE FUTURE.

According to Mr. ]. ]. Hill, president of
the Great Northern Railway, the consoli-
dation of lines of railway reaching across
the continent and the purchasing of lines
of steamships are a part of the fight that
is going on for the control of the COM
merce of the Pacific ocean.
His argument is this: In the next thir-
ty years this country will have a popu-
lation of 150OOO,OO0 IL the rate of increase
continues to be as great as it has been
since 1865. Not more than 100000 can be
employed in manufacturing, business and
the professions; 1OO 900 must get liv-
ing from the land.
They will produce cotton and food pro-
ducts. A large share OF the products Of
the land will find a market in Asiatic
countries. How shall these products he
carried to their destination? BY way of
Cape Horn or the Suez canal or from the
ports of the Pacific?
Mr.. Hill says that they must be car
ried by way of the Pacific ports. The
railways will carry them to these ports
and American steamers will carry them
to Japan, China and the Philippines. They
will bring back such things as are need
ed in this country.
Mr.. Hill has big ideas of the future OF
the commerce of the Pacific ocean. He
does not expect to live to see it fully de-
veloped, but he hopes to lay such founda-
ton for the control OF It by American
railroads and steamship lines that his
name will be one OF the greet ones IN
American history.

SOUTH CAROLINA's POLITICAL SEN
SATION

! The action of Senators Tillman and Nc
Laurin of South Carolina, in rendering
their designations, means the immediate
opening of the campaign for the senator
ships, Notwithstanding Senator McLaurin
says he prefers to have it postponed I'M
til fall. It is very well understood that
the woods will be full of candidates. Be
sides Tillman and McLaurin there will
be, probably, half a dozen others in the
race hoping to profit by any possible
fuke made by the big fellows. And every
man in the bunch will Immediately begin
the agitation in favor of his own candi-
dacy. The stamping of the state may be
delayed for some weeks, or maybe a
month or two, but the wire pulling has
begun already, and will go steadily for
ward until the time of the primary cleo
consequence is a short cotton crop in
South Carolina this year. Politics will
occupy much of the time of the farmers.
In resigning their offices so as to meet
on equal terms, both of the senators have
shown the courage of their convictions
They acted on the spur of the moment
Neither had considered the question of
resigning before Saturdays political
meeting or consulted political friends
about it. McLaurin asserted that the po-
litical battle between them was not on
equal terms, because he was a candidate
for reelection, while Tillman was not.
Tillman proposed that both resign, and
ha
VIII both be disappointed as Senat tors
Conkling and Plat of New York were,
when they resigned on May IS, 1881, to
seek vindication in the form of a re-elec-
ton?
Either an end will be made to Tillman's
domination of the politics of the state, or
McLaurin will be retired to private life
as the discredited pioneer of a political
movement. The chances are that Tillman
will be triumphantly reelected. The onus
of the fight is on McLaurins side. He
stands virtually alone, in so far as the
politicians are concerned. Tillman has
absolute control of the political machine,
which will back him solidly. All of the
other candidates in the field will be anti
McLaurin. each of them hoping that he
will get in by the grace and favor of
the boss. McLaurin, however, will have
able assistance and advice, from the
manufacturing element, and no doubt also
from those Republican politicians of
other states who hope to see the solid
Democracy OF South Carolina rent in
twain through his break from the ranks.
The administration party would be I'M
grateful II it failed to come to McLaurin's
aid in his hour of need, with campaign
literature as well as the 'sinews of war"
Meanwhile 1t is to be remarked that the
Governor has not yet accepted the resig-
nations of the senator's.

Thomas jefferson Letter.
Writer.

Writer.
Mr.. Jefferson probably wrote more let
tiers with his own hand than any other
public man that ever lived, says the Chi
cago Record. The extent of his corre-
spondence may be inferred from the fact
that %, 900 letters, neatly folded and brief
ed were preserved by him and found care
fully filed away at the time of his death,
with copies of the replies sent to more
than 1900. These, however, were only
a small portion of his correspondence, as
he retained only those he considered of
future usefulness or Importance. Stenog-
raphy was not invented at that time.
Every one of his letters was written with
his own hand, and with great care, al
though after breaking his wrist while
Minister to France, it became a great
labor to him. His penmanship was small,
plain and iegible, every letter being per-
fectly formed, and his account books are
kept in so small a hand that many of the
pages cannot be read without magnify
ing glass.
Jefferson was ambdextrous. He could
write equally well with either hand. When
his wrist was broken he learned to write
with his left hand, which became as skill
full as the other. 1t would have been i'm
possible for him to have carried on his
extensive correspondence without being
able to relieve his right hand at inter-
walls.

DR.. Hill has just returned to Washing

to the New York World, the custom was
made by an English fop who, having no
hair to part in the middle, parted his
hair like Senator Fairbanks of Indiana,
down over one ear, SO that he might train
a long name over his bald spot and plas-
ter 1t down on the other side. Thus the
side part certainly did not suggest brain
