BEAST

We are under obligations to J. A. Rountree, Esq., of Hartselle, Ala., for a neatly printed copy of the proceedings of the Alabama Press Association, which Association by-the-way, is one of the most active and best managed we have knowledge of. This fact is further evidenced by the character of its proceedings at the meeting held in September 1894, as set forth in the pamphlet received— there was variety the business, the literary and social ends of the newspaper people all received attention. A new swindle is being worked in Northern Indiana. An exchange says: “A gang of swindlers and sharks are securing big money from the citizens and farmers. Probably one of the best swindling games ever brought to light is the ‘grapevine game.’ The swindler buys a quantity of cheap grapevine roots, then he purchases a very largo and sightly bunch ot California grapes at the grocery. Ho represents the roots to bear this kind of grapes. The roots are sold for $1 each. The swindlers have made between $40 and $60 a day. The Limitations of the Quart. There is a delightful touch of unconscious humor in the report of the committee of the Indiana Legislature with reference to the charge that there was a barrel of whisky in the basement of the State House to be used to influence legislation. The committee reported that there was only a quart at a time there, instead of a barrel. It does not appear that there was anything in the way of renewing the quart as often as might bo necessary, nor does it appear that there was not a barrel somewhere else from which the quart bottles could be replenished. Yet the committee expressed great indignation toward Mr. Jackson, who made the charge on the floor, and said that expulsion would not be too severe a punishment for his oftense. Some years ago a politician well known in the interior of Kentucky was a candidate for re-election to a county office. When the time for canvassing arrived he got into a buggy and started out to see the voters. Judging from former experience that he would meet some of the “boys,” who would not listen to him attentively until their thirst was first allayed, he put a quart of good whisky under the seat of his buggy. He had not gone far before he met two voters somewhat celebrated for the possession of a chronic thirst. He talked to them a few minutes concerning his candidature, when he was interrupted by an inquiry whether ho had anything to drink with him. He handed out the bottle. The first voter put it to his lips and kept it there till half its contents had disappeared. The second voter took his turn, and handed back the bottle empty, with the apologetic remark: “John, there’s mighty little drinking in a quart.” Such seems to be the sentiment of the Indiana Legislature. The man who deceives it with false information that there is a barrel of free whisky at hand, when the quantity is only a quart at a time, is worthy of the highest condemnation. There is too little drinking in a quart to satisfy the aspirations of the Indiana Legislature. Wanted to trade a spring wagon fbr a horse; call on Gap Renick, tf Obituary.

SPRING NEEDS. What Everybody Requires at This Season. Some Things Are of the Utmost Importance to You. This Will Tell You Just What You Need and How to Get it. In the spring changes always take place in our systems which require attention. There is a tired, languid feeling, a depression, the digestive organs become deranged, the blood is bad, causing the complexion to become affected and the person feels an inability to work. At such a time a spring medicine is absolutely neccessary. It will overcome all these conditions. It will invigorate the blood, regulate the digestive organs, clear the complexion, and make you fell strong and well. Read what Mrs. W. H. Smith, of 74 Sutton street, Providence, R. I., has to say. “I was taken sick five years ago with the grippe. It left my whole system and especially my nerves in a terribly weak condition. I was dreadfully nervons, ami lost almost complete control of myself. I was all discouraged and did not know what I should do. ‘My limbs were swollen, my feet ached and I had pains all over my body. I got scarcely any sleep, and what little I did get did me no good. I took many remedies but without benefit. Finally hearing Dr. Oreene'a Nervura blood and nerve remedy highly recom mended, I determined to use it. ‘After taking one bottle I was almost entirely cured of all mv troubles. My nerves were strong, and the pains left me, the swelling disappeared, and I could sleep well. Thanks to this wonderful medicine I am cured. I wish every suffering might use it." The reason why you should take Dr. Greene’s Nervnra blood and nerve remedy is, because it is the surest and quickest medicine in its action known. It positively and permanently cures all forms of nervous weakness and exhaustion, invigorates the blood and gives health and strength. Take it now, for Dr. Greene’s N'ervura blood and nerve remedy. It is the best spring medicine known. It is not a patent medicine, but the prescription of the most successful living specialist in curing nervous and chronic diseases, Dr. Greene, of 35 West 14th St., New York City. He has the largest practice in the world, and this grand medical discovery is the result of his vast experience. The great reputation of Dr. Greene is a guarantee that his medicine will cure, and the fact that he can be consulted by auyone at any time, free of charge, personally or by letter, gives absolute assurance of the beneficial action of this wonderful medicine. I’rofo.ajor James Has Decanted. What this country •would do without its own American Psychological association heaven only knows! Tho American Psychological association hold a convention ouco a year to discuss tho soul. If to bo acquainted with his soul a common person must delve into such mysteries as anthropometry and hypermsthesia, then he could be almost glad to know he hadn't any soul. But these are the mighty themes settled by the Americau Psychological association. The greatest sensation of the late psychological convention at Princeton university was occasioned by tho recantation of Professor William James of Harvard. Professor Janies is considered tho highest strictly scientific authority on soul matters in America. His decisions, therefore, may be considered of vital importance. When ho recants, he recants all over, so to speak. When he wrote a book on psychology some time since, Professor James distinctly stated in that lucidity of language for which scientific professors are noted that states of mind subjectively considered ought not to bo called complex. It seems tho professor has found out better. Ho turns his back squarely on his former dictum and now admits frankly that states of mind subjectively considered maybe called complex. This is a tremendous admission. But while he admits this e still obstinately declares that the complexity is not what it is described to bo by the associationist school. On that statement he plants himself, sink or swim, survive or perish, and ho will live and die by it Our readers are therefore warned to beware of tho complexity of states of mind subjectively considered by tho associationist school. Wo are always glad to bo set right in these matters. So the president of the United States will have a new house to live in by the time tho next administration goes out at least. Well, ho needs it bad enough. However picturesque and sacred on account of its historic associations, tho old White House is neither pleasant nor healthful for a private residence. Tho vast army of clerks that the business of this great and growing country has made necessary as attaches to tho executive mansion havo nearly crowded out the presidential family. Tho old house will still be retained for tho executive offices. But why should tho new private residence bo removed from immediate connection with tho old one? It would be more convenient, more fitting, that tho private dwelling should bo connected with tho preset?’ White Mrs. Harrisor in connection with an architect, designed a plan for enlarging the presidential mansion by an annex that would give all tho required room without injuring tho grand old White House artistically. That plan is best.

Our Foreign Trade. A few days ago we called attention to the beneficial effects of the new tariff on our foreign trade. Both exports and imports have been heavier in the last three or four months than they were during any corresponding period within several years. While the year’s showing was unfavorable, it was due to the trade during the first eight months of the year. The decrease, too, was one of values rather than of volume, last year’s prices being unusually low. In domestic exports it amounted to about $47,000,000 and in imports to nearly $100,000,000, the comparison being with the business of 1893. It must not be supposed from this reduction in totals that all branches trade suffered. Notwithstanding the comparatively light business in the earlier months, we exported more provisions, such as dairy and meat products, and got more money for them, than we did the j-ear before. The same is true of our sales of crude petroleum, India rubber goods, fish, fruits and nuts. Our exports of cattle brought us about $39,000,000 last year, as compared with less than $23,000,000 tho year before and $35,400,000 in 1892. Our shipments of other live stock were also increased—less in amount but more in percentage, being twice as large as they were in either

1893 or 1892.

These increases ^offset, in a measure, the loss in grain exports. Provisions form our tiiird largest item of exports ordinarily, and last year they took second place, being surpassed only by cotton. While breadstufls grain and their products —fell off, provisions increased and cotton occujtled about the same place it did the year before the exports amounting to $200,413,772, as compared with $204,106,023 in 1893. This is raw cotton. We shipped away nearly $15,000,000 worth of cotton goods last year against less than $13,000,000 worth in each of the two years immediately preceding. Cattle shipments held fourth place in value. Refined mineral oil—mostly coal oil
