Industrial and Trade Notes The hominy-mills are again prospering, and find it very diilicult to keep up with Iheir orders. Dean Bros, are manufacturing two large blowing engines for the Southern Cotton-ieed-oii Trust. During th month of June, Kiugan &, Co. killed 5.000 hogs a week. This is not one'ourth their capacity. Tho Indianapolis bolt and machine-works ire building a number of excelsior machines, which aro to be sent to Waco, Tex. Since tho heated term began tho waterworks have been furnishing fully 8,000,000 gallons of water in every twenty-four hours. Indianapolis elevators, on Saturday, contained hut 42.141 bushels of grain, against lH,Si bushels for the corresponding dato if 1SS8. The Udell wooden -ware-works last week .received a large order direct from Germany for several hundred step-ladders and other articles. It is stated that thero are some three hundred type-writers in use in this city. Fully one-half of them aro operated by young ladies. Tho Mans Brewing Company has added nn extensivn addition in its til .nit on "Vir. New York street. It is one of the finest buildings in the city. Chandler & Taylor last week shipped two car-loads of engines to Seattle, W. T to replace those burned iu the recent conllagration in that city. The packers have commenced storing eggs in the cold storage houses. Thissnpply will be placed on the market next winter, when eggs become scarce. C. H. Black, of this city, has just shipped to the Cincinnati police department a patrol wagon of the same pattern as that used by the police department here. Manufacturers of iron architectural work nro very busy. One firm hero has contracts to fnrnitfh iron fronts for fourteen buildings in this and other cities iu the State. Business with the starch men is improving and they are increasing their production. somewhat, l'iel JL Co. are now using about three thousand bushels of corn daily. G. II. Shover has just built for the conTractors wuo are erecimg tue souuers monument a four-wheeled truck which will carry with safety stouo weighing ten tons. Lumber-dealers and planing-inill men nre having a very prosperous year. Prices lor lumber have been well maintained, and omc of the mills have been obliged to run over-time to keep up with orders. The Indiana warp-mill, in the first six months of this year, manufactured 4,003 warps. In the year 1888 it turned out fi,H00 warps, but w ith the improvements com-.-.pletedit has a largely increased. production. . " Nordvke it Marinon Company have shipped to Dublin, Ireland, the necessary milling machinery to manufacture extra line food products made from corn, such as crvam-uieal, pearl-meal, grits, farinand corn-Hour. ';' , . i Broom-corn has advanced $30 a ton in the last thirty davs. and tho large broom man ufacturers here arc a good deal disturbed. over the matter. It will force the price of brooms up to 50 cents a dozen above present prices. ,-.(.. Two water tanks, each having a capacity of 2TjO barrels, have been placed in the Infalls Block, one in t lie cellar the other on he roof. The3' will hold the water neceseary for the new elevator which has been placed in the building. The Van Camp Canning Company is be-' finning to push business. Last week it ad 10O persons eugaged in canning pens nlone, nud now the usual quantity of small fruits is being nut up. The busiest time, however, is when tomatoes and green corn begin to come. Citizens and property-holders on the West Side are urging the street-railway com pan j to build ' a line out Kentucky avenue, across the bridge, and thence west on Oliver avenue to Belmont. The oflicers of the company talk very eucouragiugly about the proposition. Owing to the scarcity of wheat the flonr-ing-iiiills are running light. Mr. Cutler, one of the linn operating the Acme mills, Mates that responses from all parts of the fctate show tint there is above an average nvheat crop, and if there could be two weeks of good leather for harvesting tho crop would be in excellent condition. The manufacturers on the West Side lmvo prepared a petition, which is to be forwarded to the othcera of the Cleveland, Cincinnati, Chicago & St. Louis road, asking them to erect a freight depot on tho Wct Side, and establish there a suitable

car-yard. It is said that from forty to fifty car-loads of freight are shipped from the

West Side dailv. not includintr tho live stock handled nt the yards or the new cars shipped from the car-work. The Lewis-Porter Cabinet Company, which filed articles of incorporation on Saturday wittt a capital of $100,000, will today let the contract to erect two of four bntldings. each to be two hundred feet in length and eights' feet in width. Thevwill be built on live acres of ground which the company purchased of Nicholas McCarty, on tho corner of Oliver avenne and Hadley street, adjoining the Jlelt road. Tho contract will call for tho completion of two of the buildings by Aug.,1. The company has a 150-horse-power engine, boilers and all its machinery contracted for. It will manufacture fancy cabinet furniture, such as book-cases and desks, sideboards, and other fine articles. The company is comyosed of energetic young men, who have ample capital to make the business a success. SUNDAY BALL GAMES. Result of the Contests Between Clubs of the American Association.

The special featnres of the game was the battery work . of Abbott and Minor and the felding of Buchanan, for Muncie. The pitcning of the YorKtown man was good, out lie was given poor support.

To-Day's Game. sn r lhe third game oi the rtew lork series will be played this afternoon. Either Keefe or Welch will pitch for the visitors, while Boyle will probably be in the box for tho home team. Indianapolis will make a des perate effort to get the two remaiuing games from the Giants, and fine exhibitions may be expected. Myers or Daily will be in the center held lor the Iloosiers, proba bly the latter. An Intimation of a Strike. Cincinnati Enquirer. That the Brotherhood of ball-ulayers mean to take some, decisive action in re gard to the classification rule at an early date there can be little doubt. Uiej intend to. strike at the League moguls in a way that will embarrass the big body, if it does not cause a serious financial loss. The writer had the privilege of reading a letter from a prominent League player, the other day. and it gives an indefinite outline of the nlau the Brotherhood intends to pur sue. We quote this play er's exact language. l ne letter savs: "it is my nonest opinion that on July 2 every member of the Broth erhood will refuse to play; that is, if the League otlicials do not fix up a settlement of the classification rule. It is a case that will and must be well considered. Should the League act stiff, there are other men tand plenty of money ouly too willing to 'step in and keep the same clubs in the same cities. One nuestion is bothering us: Caa they take us into court for breach of con tract! We are looking for a big time on or about July 2. bhould tho players strike, they will do so without in any way inter fering with players that take our places." It may be possible that such a strike will occur, but hardly probable. The letter is from a member of the Brotherhood, and readers can draw their own conclusions. Base-Ball Notes. Schock. released by Washington, has signed with Milwaukee. Tho Hoosiers will get a game York this afternoon, if possible. from New The Indianapolis Juniors defeated tho Leaders yesterday by a score of 39 to 8.

The Brener Stars and Pretzels played a game yesterday afternoon, the former win ning by a scoro of 17 to 4. Van Stant and . Seizer did battery work for the Brcner Stars, while Souer and Piech were in the points for the Pretzels. Tho Y'oung Hustlers defeated theNorthcasterns at the Woodrnfi Place grounds yesterday, tho scoro being 18 to 9. -Tho featuro of tho game was the pitching of Schultz for the Young Hustlers, lie having eighteen stnke-outs to his credit. Thero was a close contest, yesterday, between the All Auiericaus and Springdales, or the Cit3 Association. It resulted in favor of the All Americans by a score of 3 to 2. The batteries were: For tho All Amerfcana. CampWfll ami Wanor; for the Springdales, Hughes and Hodman. As usual the City League games drew large crowds yesterdaj'.

The Daltons and Capital Citys played at Brighton Beach, the former winning l3' a score of 5 o a, while the Kellehers defeated the Whens on the same grounds by a score of 5 to 4. It is reported from Washington that President Young is very much dissatisfied with the work of the present staff of umpires, and will oou make at least two changes. Complaints are going to Mr. Young from all points. Barnniti has alreadv resigned, and it is said that Fessenden will be asked to do so in a short time. Curry is to be promoted to one of the vacancies, and Powers is to be given a place. The Johnstown Fund. Tho following additional contributions for Johnstown have been received by B. F.

The decorations were elaborate. giving it the appearance of a natural garden of shrubbeo and flowers. A fine musical programme was carried out under the direction of Armin Keeker and Julius Kohl. It included instrumental mnsic by the band and orchestra, and vocal music by the best mnsiciaus iu the society. Among those whd rendered solos were J. Lipman, E. Steinhilber and Julius Kohl.

An Electric Surface Railway That Will Dis pense Death at Every Crossing. ' Baltimore Sun. The Weems railwav system, incorporated under the name of the Electro-automatic Transit Company, of Baltimore, after abont a year of carefully conducted and conclubivo experiments, nas paieniea us mumpucuy oi eiectncai anu mecnanicai appliances in the United States and all over the world, as a preliminary to putting the sys tem regularly to work wherever, required. By this electro-automatic arrangement tho morning papers may be delivered for the breakfast-table, and the evening papers before supper timo at distant points. It will deliver letters almost with the promptitude of the telegraph sending a message. The mails between New York and Omaha will be carried in' a nigh L It will handle perishable light freight from long dis tances, will deliver with celerity the mails and parcels in cities and suburban towns. ' and will multiply many time the business of the postolhce and express companies, its advantages are not alone in its speed, but in the economy aud frequency with which trains can be dispatched. Tho motor car is eighteen feet long, and two and a half feut square at each end. It is pointed in front. the wedge or point being below tho loncitudinal center, adjusting it to tho air pressure, thus keeping, tho car down to the the track. To reduce atmospheric friction to a minimum all wheels and elec trical annliances are placed within the walls of the cars. Tho road is to be built on tho surface of tho ground, with track of twenty-four inches gauge, and will cost about $5,000 per mile. In thickly-settled districts tho road can he elevated, tho varied length of the uprights being a cheap mode of covering irregularities in the surfacoofthe ground over which the road passes. 1 he mail and express cars are tel escoped in forming a train, the former into the end of tue motor car, and tho latter into that of the one preceding it. forming a flexible train of cars, ottering an unbroken surface to the air. lhe rear end of the rear car is pointed in a similar manner to the front of the motor carr thus preventing any suction as the tram rushes on its .wa3T. The motor way pull one car or a train of cars. All trains will be controlled from a generating station, where will bo placed an electrical generating plant. Electrical brakes are to be used, ami trains are started, stopped. speed lessened, and backed at will from the station. Special appliances will inform the operator in charge of the generating station of the exact location of the train from tho time it leaves or passes any given point until it reaches its destination. It has not yet been determined how far apart the generating stations shall he placed. Possibly one hundred miles may not be out of range, as the current can be run for fifty miles each way from the station as a center without much loss of electricity. I lie electrical force may be generated by either steam or water power. The main object, that of carrying heavy currents over long distances, is attained 03' special methods. By these, in a given time, a large number of trains may bo dispatched with an extraordinary rapidity, and at comparatively little expense. The frequency of the trains consumes only a small amount of power, and the fact that no attendants on the train are necessary constitutes no small item iu economy. The patents of the company number 143 in the United States and the principal countries of tho world, covering the vital details of this novel system. A series of experiments have been made at Laurel, Md., to show what the Weems railway 83'steni will do. Two milon per minute are made around a heavy curve, or tho equivalent of ISO miles an hour, or three miles a minute on a level track. Prior to the inauguration of this system! twenty miles per hour was the fastest time ever made 03' 0113' kind of electrical railroad f ravel. Arrangements are now being made for the building of an extended road beiwccn uistant cities. WAITING FOR II Kit IlKTKOTIIED. The Romance of the Wedding of Calvin Fair bunk and Mary Tiles ton. Cincinnati Enquirer. I do not know when I have seen any thing that interested me more than that ac count in the Enquirer of the times when snch men as Calvin rairbanks. Salmon P. Chase, Levi Coffin, Nick Longworth and others in tins. city took steps toward securing the freedom of sonn? slave or slaves who had in some particular manner excited their sympathies and called for their aid," said Dr. A. N. Ellis yesterday. "Inasmuch as I was born on the banks of the Ohio and snent mv youthful years in the Abolition town of fiipley, right under tho preaching of the Kev. John Bankin, irom tue lorce 01 circumstances and surroundings I got to know a great deal about the noted anti-slaver men of this section. "Calvin Fairbanks was as crazy on the 8ubiect of slavery as was old John Brown. of Harper's Ferry fame. In tho good old times before the war one could do almost anything with impunity in the State of Kentuck5 except stealing negroes aud horses. The people over there would . not have their live stock tampered "With, and woe unto aii3 man who got into the clutches of the law through such oflenses. r air banks had a singular passion for stealing slaves, briugiug theni iKiusn iu itccuuiu a o i viu, nuu niiti iiuk nicui over the underground railwaj toward Can ada. How many times he did this I know not. Some time carry in the fifties the Kcntuckians got hold of him and sent him up for fifteen years. He had a sweetheart sin Oxford, O., by. the name of Mary Tileston, who clung to him through all tho timo of his misfortunes. For twelve long years she visited him every six months in tho Frankfort pen i tent iar3. and assured him that if he lived to complete his term of imprisonment she would marry him. These were fearful days for poor Fairbanks, and without that woman's sympathy and aifection he would surely have died in prison. It washer loving hands that painted sweet pictures of hope, ami home, and happiness and heaven, and hung them along the horizon of tbe years to come. I Iirst came to know of Mary Tilcstoif s story when I was a student at Miami University, and became deeply interested in its outcome. In 1804 President Lincoln telegraphed Gov. Tom Bramlette that ho wanted him to come to Washington on public business. Bramlette lclt Frankfort and started. Old man Jacobs, who used to be the Colonel of one of the Kentuckj regiments, happened to be Lieutenantgovernor. Now. tho very minute Lincoln got Bramlette out of the way ho sent word to Jacobs to pardon Fairbanks. It was done nt once. I was at Oxford at the time, and happened to meet Mary Tileston on the way to the depot to meet lu-r lover. Her face was a picture of tho most perfect happiness. 'l he next day 1 skipped attendance at University and went up to the Presbyterian Church to see Kev. Jerry Kumler" niarry them. There wan - something pathetic anil touching about tho ceremony. 1 can never forget it. Both he and she had grown old aud gray and feeble in waiting and watching for tho time to come when their lives should be united. Surely if thero was ever a holy marriage consummated on this earth that was the one."

HOW IT FEELS TO BE BOUNCED.

Nathaniel Hawthorne Reflections on Being lie moved from OiBce. Removals from office are so much the order of the day at present that tho record of a uistiuguisneu man's experience as a v ictim of "rotatioV must Ins interesting. Tbe man was Nathaniel Hawthorne, and tho office was the surveyorship of customs at Salem. Mass. ' Mr. Hawthorne was appointed bv President Polk and was re moved by President Taylor four years later. jie treats ot the matter in the introduction to the "Scarlet Letter," as follows: "A remarkable event of tho third year of my survorship was the election of General laylor to the presidenc3 It is essential, in order to a complete estimate of the advantages of official life, to view the incum bent at the incoming of a hostile administration. His position is one of the most singularly irksome, and, in everv contingency, disagreeable, that a wretched mortal can possibly occupy; with seldom an alternative for good ou either hand, although what presents itself to him as the worst event may very probably bo the best. But it is a strange experience to a man of pride and sensibilit3 to know that his interests aro within the control of individuals who neither love nor understand him, and by whom, since one or the other must needs happen, he would rather be injured than obliged. Strange, too, for one who had kept his calmness throughout the contest, to observe the bloothirstiness that is developed in the hour of triumph, and to be conscious that he is himself among iU objects! "There are few uglier traits of human nature than this tendency which I now "witnessed in men no worse than their neighbors to grow cruel, merely because they possessed the power of inflicting harm. If the guillotine, as applied to omce-holders, were a literal fact instead of one of the most apt of metaphors, it is my sincere belief that tbe active members of the victorious party were sufficiently excited to have chopped off all our h'eads, and have thanked heaven for the opportunity! It appears to me who have been a calm and curious observer, as well in victory as defeatthat this fierce and bitter spirit of malice and revenge has never distinguished the many triumphs of mv own party as it now did that of the Whigs. The Democrats take tho offices, as a general rule, because thc3r need them, and because the practice of many j'ears has made it the law of political warfare, which, unless a different system be proclaimed, it were weakness and cowardice to murmur at. But the long habit of victory has made them generous. They know how to spare when they see occasion, and when they strike the ax ma3r bo sharp indeed, but its edge is seldom poisoned with ill will, nor is it their custom ignominiously to kick the head which they have just struck off. 'In short, unpleasant as was my predicament, at best I saw much reason to congratulate myself that I was on the losing side, rather than the triumphant one. It. heretofore,! had been none of the warmest of partisans, I began now, at this season of peril and ndversitj-, to bo pretty acutely sensible with which party mjT predilections la3; nor was it without something like regret and shame that, according to a reasonable calculation of chances, 1 saw my own prospect of retaining office to be better than those of ni3T Democratic brethren. But who can see an inch into futurity be-j-oud his nosef My own head was the first that fell. "The moment when a man's head dons off is seldom or never, I am inclined1 to think, precisely tho most agreeable of his life. Nevertheless, like the greater part of our misfortunes, oven so serious a contingency brings its rcmedy and consolation with it, if the sufferer will but make the best, rather than the worst, of the accident which has befallen him. In my particular case tho consolatory topics were close at hand, and, indeed, had suggested themselves to iu3' meditations a considerable time before it was requisite to use them. In view of my previous weariness of office, and vague thoughts of resignation, my fortune somewhat resembled that of a person who should entertain an idea of committing suicide, and, although beyond his hopes, meet with tho good hap to be murdered. In the customhouse, as before in the Old Manse, I had spent three years; a term long enough to rest a weary brain; long enough to break oil old intellectual habits and make room for new ones; long enough, and too long, to have lived in an unnatural state, dnint? "what was realby of no advantage nor de light to aii3' human being, and withholding myself from toil that would at least have stilled an unquiet impulse in me. Then, moreover, as regarded his unceremonious ejectment, the late surveyor was not altogether ill-pleased to be recognized by tho Whigs as an enemy: since his inactivity in political affairs his tendency to roam at will in that broad and quiet field where all. mankind may meet, rather thau confine himself to those narrow paths where brethren of the same household must diverge from one another had sometimes made it questionable with his brother Democrats 'whether he was a friend. Xow, after he had won tho croAvn of niartj'rdoiu (though with no longer a head to wear it on), the point might be looked upon as settled. Finally, little heroic as he was, it seems more decorous to be overthrown in tho downfall of the party with which ho had been content to stand than to remain a forlorn survivor, when so many worthier men were falling; and, at last, after subsisting for four j'ears on the mercy of a hostile administration, to be compelled then to define his position anew, and claim yet tho more humiliating mercy of a friendly one. "Meanwhile the press had taken up my afiair, and kept me, for a week or two, careering through the public print, in my decapitated state, like Irving's Headless Horseman; ghastly and grim, and longing to be buried, as a political dead man ought. So much for mv figurative self. The real human being, ail this time with his head safely on his shoulders, had brought himself to the comfortable conclusion that everything was for the best, and making an investment in ink, paper and steels pens, had opened his long-disused writing desk and was again a literary man." AllOUT HANK. CHECKS. The As tors and the Yanderbllts Have the Plainest Checks. New York Sun. A man shows a good deal of his individuality in his checks. A Hashy man will have a tlashjr check, and a man who wears loud clothes and big rings will haye a check engraved on tinted paper, with pictures, and his name covering the ends of it with ordamental characters. A plain, quiet, business man has a plain, quiet check. It does not follow because a man has his check made to order, instead of taking the readj'-mado kind tlnvt the banks furnish him, that ho has a long bank account, auy more than a cheap suit of clothes indicates that a man cannot afi'ord to buy better. On the contrary, a man with a bank account who uses quiet checks usually has a bigger balance than the man who sends out specimens of engraving with his signature to them. The Astors use checks with no engraving on them and everything is printed. When an Astordraws a personal check thename Is printed near the left edge in the plainest kind of way. The numbers are not even printed on them, but when filled in at all are filled in with ink. An Astor check, however, does not usually have the same writing throughout, as there are clerks who fill in the body of tho check. The signature alone is written by an A tor. The Astors use good quality pink-colored paper. They have the plainest possible kind of a check. Unlike the Astorsr plain checks, some people use tints, engravings, pictures and ornaments in quantitj'. Some small storekeepers have checks with their, advertisements; in some cases with their pictures on tinted paper. There is a colliu company that has a picture of a coffin with its adve' tisement 011 its check, and tombstone manufacturers have been known to put engraved monuments on theirs. It is a common thing for a picture of the place of business to be at the left-hand end of a check, with the name and address under it. . One of the most noticeable checks has been given up now. as it attracted too much attention. That was the check of a man who used Bible pictures and texts. Many wealthy men think that the checks the banks give out for nothing are good enough for them. If any addition is made it is to have their names printed iu plain type ou the end of the check. Banks usu-mly-have their checks printed on some other than perfectly white paper. Pinkish paper is the most common. That is th kind the Astors nse. The favorite color of Philadelphia banks is green. The Western banks have more elaborate checks than tho Eastern banks have, but the paier is not so good and the checks cost less. Tho Western banks have more engraving than tho Eastern banks, and the Western men have more engraving and advertisements than Eastern men. Eastern men have better paper. The Vanderbilts checks are more elab-

orate than theAstors. though not much morn. They are not as elaborate now as

they used to be. Jay Gould is o one 01 the most careless of Ma s all rich men about the kind of paper that he draws checks on. Y hen he was gathering the roads together for his Southwestern sj-stem ho drew up a check for several million dollars on the back of an envelope. This check was all in his own handwriting, and it would have been harder to alter than many checks on picture paper. Capitalists usuallj' have plain checks and store-keepers elaborate checks. A small broker has a more elaborate check than a rich broker, as a rule. Men with small accounts also have better checks than men with bigger accounts, though that is governed to a great extent by tho kind of checks that tho bank is accustomed to give out. One of the first things that some men do when they go into business for themselves is to have their checks made to order. They think that it gives them a certain distinction, and that it shows that they are of importance. Getting checks made to order does not cost much, and it is so easily done that it detracts from rather than elevates the standing of the man who does it. A check can be written on a plain piece of paper that will draw ntoncj- out of a bank if the man who sends it has money there, just as well as if elaborate engravings formed the background of the writing. If there can be said to be a fashion in checks, the small checks are the most fashionable ones. A big check is bad form. It is also bad form to carry a pocket checkbook. It has an air of disphw about it, and shows the character of a man, just as the wearing of manj diamonds does. It costs nothing to carry a pocket checkbook. The proper thing to do is to have a big book, three checks wide, aud to tear out two or three to carry around with you loose in your pocket, just as if they were cash. It is also better form to have a printed check than an engraved cheek. The Astors' precedent should be sufficient for this. It should interest a fashionable young mail to know, that everything about the Astors' check, except the date, number, name of the pareo, amount and fiignature, is printed in type of the old English style. m m m One of Erarts's New Stories. Washington Letter in Angnsta Chronicle. On his way to call on Secretary Blaiue, the other day, tho Senator wished to make some inquiry, and as he was passing through the corridor, accosted a young man whom he thought he had seen in the department, 6ayingtohim: "1 beg your pardon, sir. but are yon not a clerk in the State Department!" The young person thus addressed stopped short, gazed at the great statesman who was once tho head of the department, and whose fame is as broad as the two hemispheres, and in a tone in which disgust was mixed with wounded . pride replied: "No. sir, I am not. I am not a clerk 111 the State Department. 1 am an attache of the Foreign Office." Senator Evarts was so astonnded by this displa3 of dignitv and angloniania that he says ho actually forgot the inquiry which he had intended making of the 3-oung person, and walked on quite crushed. New Modes of Execution. Minneapolis Tribune. Carbonic acid gas is suggested as a good thing to execute criminals with. Hanny thought. Carbonicution might bo made a very pleasant little experiment in this wa3': Let the sheriff lead the doomed man into a small and air-tight cell in which a soda fountain has been placed. The sheriff' mi irht break the ico bv savimr "wottlevave!" to which the victim would probably repl3;. "moxie." After setting 'em up tho sheriff could retire and leave the fizz turned on and the prisoner tied down. In a few minutes tho room would be full of gas and the condemned asleep forever. Of course little jokes about "a stick in it" and courteous exchanges of "how!'' and "gesundheit," could be ladled in by tho officer according to his taste aud would make tho alfair all the more enjoyable. m s McDow's Chivalry. New York World. When Dr. MeDow. the Charleston gentlemau who killed Captain Dawson, was on the witness-stand the other dav ho was courteously asked if he thought his conduct in attempting to ruin a friendless Swiss servant-eirl was gentlemanly. He answered: "Well, hardly" she was so willinir " Certainly thia is not Sonth Carolina chivalry, and yet a great deal of sympathy has been expressed for the Doctor in Charleston because he belongs to one ' of the old l ami lies. could not a man capable of a premeditated seduc tion of a poor girl be also tapable of crnclby killing a man who would act as her protectorr v Stanton Did Not Commit Suicide. Philadelphia Inquirer. Gen. Horace Porter pronounces absurd the old stor lately revived, that Edwin M. Stanton cut his throat. "It could not have been kept a secret if it had been true." he continued; "you saw that in the case of Prince Hudolnh. of Austria. Stanton never got over his long ride to Louisville, when ho went down to see about transferring Grant to Chattanooga. He cot his feet thoroughly wet during his ride, and sat all night 111 that condition. 1 hat was in 180.1. The result was a heavy cold, from which he never fully recovered. The suicide story is false." The Eleventh Commandment. Omaha lieimhliean. To mind one's own business, not in tho spirit of the priest and the Levite, who passea iy on tne otner siue, insteaa ot assistintrthe wonnded man on the hiffhwnvbut by refraining from meddling with tho affairs of healthy people, by refraining from gossip and scandal, and the circulating of idle renorta. from interference lie. tween friends or in other people's domestic atlairs if this be tho eleventh commandment, who keeps it? Adcice to Mothers. Mrs. Winslow's soothing syrup should always be used when children are cutting teeth, it relieves tho little sutterer at once: it produces natural quiet sleep by relieving the child from pain, and the little cherub awakes as "bright as a button."
