MOOT COURT

The impeachment proceedings before

The Birmingham News tells this
story: General u. y. Grant was
once in the company of several men
who were telling more or less coarse
jokes. They grew worse and worse,
and General Grant frowned and moved
about Iestlessly in his seat. A close
observation OF his countenance would
have discovered his disapproval.
Finally one man suggested that he had
a really good one. and glancing over
his shoulder asked: Are there any
ladies within heaIing2" General
Grant looked him straight in the eye
and replied with dignity: No, but
there's one gentleman sir. Needless
to say this cut short the vuIgaTities.
1t was keen rebuke and a just one.

Mrs. Harry a. Hamilton, wide
II known and loved for Iler many
charities, died at her residence,
1886 Felicity street, at 6 o'clock
yesterday morning, after an ILL.,
ness of fifteen weeks.
At the time of her death She
was fifty-two years Of age and
had lived in New Orleans for
forty-fiye years, during which
time she endeared herself I'd th0us-

and unseI6shness.
Mis-. Hamilton was the founder
of the Newsboys' Home, and one
of her greatest pleasures In life
was looking after and caring for
the homeless and friendIess little
waits of the street. Many a man
who has, since become a useful and
honored citizen owes his start In
life to her goodness of heart. She
established two memorial rooms
at the Newsboys' Home and was
a constant visitor to that institu-
ton.
At the time of her death she

COTTON REPORT FOR JULY.
Democrat Correspondents Show
Slight improvement Since June.

The Times Democrat Of Mon
day gave the reports Of its numer.
Gus Southern correspondents as
to the history of the cotton crop
during the month Of July. The
consensus Of opinion is to the
following effect:
1. Taking the Belt as a whole,
the status is pretty much what it
was at the end of June. The
change, If any, has been in the
direction of slight improvement.
2. The crop is exceedingly
spotted, sharp deterioration in
some districts being offset by
equally marked betterment in
others.
3. There has been some further
abandonment of original acreage,
in consequence of excessive rain
fall.
4. Generally speaking, there is
too much weed and too little
fruit.
5. The boil weevif has made
its appearance in some parts of
Texas, but no important damage
appears to be expected.
6. The situation may be sum-
med up by saying that the outlook
is critical. Perfect weather and
a late frost must be had to avert a
disaster.

A warning to Mothers.

Too much care cannot be used with
small children during the hot weather
of the summer months to guard against
bowel troubles. As rule it is only
necessary to give the child dose of
castor oil to correct any disorder of
the bowels. Do not use any substitute,
but give the old fashioned castor oil,
and see that it is fresh, as rancid oil
nauseates and has tendency to grippe.
If this does not check the bowels give
Chamberlain,s Collie, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy and then dose of
castor oil and the disease may be
checked in its incipiency and all dan
ger avoided. The castor oil and this
remedy should be procured at once
and kept ready for instant use as soon
as the first indication of any bowel
trouble appears. This is the most sue
cessful treatment known and may be
relied upon with implicit confidence
even in cases of cholera infantum
