Bclo, of Galveston, who is with the
President ia the Adirondack, is to be

colonel says he would not accept office.
rs Lieut. Henn, of the -English
yacht Galatea, while accepting defeat
gracefully, is not satisfied; He still
believes that the Galatea can ; beat the
Ala j flower in a gale of wind. Both
yachts are entered for the Newport
rices, and Lieut. Henn has challenged
Gen. Paine, owner of the Mayflower, to
a; special face over the Newport course.
He suggests that they wait until a gale
of wind of the required proportions
springs up an the yachts then start.

that is everywhere. According ' to
special cable dispatches, the ; letters sds
a tablet to the memory of one of the
Shakespeare family are to be re cut, and
a new vestry is to be added to the

destruction of an interesting part of the

taken possession of the authorities of the

The relics and monuments in their un

fine opportunities for gathering and

is also tbe best time, the weather being
dry, for hauling. The manorial re
sources of the farm, whatever they are,
should be utilized and put upon the
fields to furnish plant food to crops.
Many a farmer has an abundance of ma

accountably neglected by our pyoplo.
Every forest has tons of Vegetable

Every pond has its peat, one of the fin

ANOTHER APPEAL
MAYOR COURTNAY AGAIN
, STATES CHARLESTON'S
, NEEDS.
AN Jl'l'KAL TO THI rtOPLl FOB YIT
URSATKR. "AID.
Chaklmton, 8. C.,)Sept. 17. Mayor
Courtenay today issued the following
proclamation : To the public : The city
council of Charleston at its last regular
uieeuug 100a me ioiiowing action ;
"Whereas a terrible calamity has
befallen Charleston, vast and -widespread
in the loss it inflicts,
tar greater in extent - than was
at first realized, ' and whereas it is
evident that the liberal and spon
taneous assistance which has come to us
from all parts of the country and from
England, and which is deeply apprecia
ted and gratefully acknowledged by
our people, will be wholly insufficient to
meet our unexpected exigencies, be it
resolved that the mayor be requested to
prepare and issue an address to the pub
lic, setting forth our condition and in
voking additional aid fur this stricken
oity." .
In making known to the general pub
lic this, declaration of the municipal
government as to he condition of our
city at this time, it seems to me
unnecessary that I should
add any words of my own.
The unfortunate facts are before
the country, by the statements of
disinterested, visitors from.: different
parts of the land, after personal obser
vations, and are known here and deeply
felt. I ask, the press of the United
States to give this proclamation the
benefit of its far-reaching circulation.

There were present also many distin
guished visitors from various States and
the citizens' committee of entertainment.

divided in pairs and marched down
Chestnut street to the old State house.
Here the party halted in the room where
the declaration of independence was
signed, and standing under a canopy
of red, white and blue, listened to the
address of welcome by mayor Smith.
Carpenters' hall, the old hall where
in 1774 the first Colonial congress met,
eleven provinces being represented,
was next visited. Here, also, a meet
ing was held. The Governors ranged
tbemsehes around a large table near
the centre hall. Richard K. Betta,one of

opportunity.

Bucharest, September 17. M. Bra-

in time to spring out of the path of his
aim. The bullet struoa ju. itoDeseo

arrested and locked up- He confessed
that for political reasons he intended to
kill Bratiano. The attempted assassi

the people. A crowd surrounded the
building occupied by the only news
paper here which had been opposing the
prime minister, blamed the editor for
inflaming a hostile feeling against him
and smashed all the furniture belonging
to the conocrn, savagely attacked and
wounded two members of its staff and
were proceeding to destroy the edifice
when the police beoame masters and

Flue Feats In Jug-flary.
WHAT BO Ml OF THI MOST D1XTIE0US PIB-
F0BMXB8 NOW 00 THIOCGH WITH.
From the London Saturday Beview.
The feat Paul Clinquevalli accom
plishes with the knife, fork and potato
are as novel as they are extraordinary.
He tosses the three in the air from hand
to hand, at last catching the fork in his
right hand, the potato on the prongs of
the fork, and the knife perpendicular on
its point in the potato. Again, he
throws the knife, fork and potato in the
air, cutting the potato in two by a swift
stroke of the knife, and catching the
halves, one on the fork in. the left hand
and the other on the point of the knife
in the right. This is the very triumph
of the skilful use of a oommon thing,
which is the essential principle of the
new jugglery. Equally extraordinary
is Paul Clinquevalii's juggling with
cannon ball, a china plate and an egg,
n which he. first throws the egg fif
teen feet in the air, catching it on the
plate without breaking the-egg, and
theh he throws the cannon ball in the
a. a. 1. . 1 .
air, catching it on the piate witnout
breaking the plate. These marvelous
feats are all done without strain or
effort, and with the utmost ease and cer
tainty.
There is an old juggling device call
ed the devil-on-two-sticks, in which a
stick about two feet long and slightly
bulbous at the ends is balanced and
twirled about on rods held in each hand.
Trewey has improved on this by doing
away with one of the three sticks, and
he now balances and revolves one of
those sticks on the other. He has re
vived and improved another most inter
esting feat. He balances on his chin
a rod having a long cross-piece on which
are four bits of cardboard perched lite
birds on the bough; then he takes- a
pea-shooter and one by ont he knocks
over the bits of cardboard, which fall
forward, displaying silken streamers.'

From the London Morning Pest.
Dr. Cresswell Hewett, of Linooln's-
inn-field, ha discovered a synthetical
or artificial mode of making quinine,
by which the prioe of that drug will be
reduoed to something like 3d per ounce.
The importance of this discovery (which
was made two or three weeks ago.
through the accidental Dreating of a
medicine bottle") ia rendered greater by
the fact that while hitherto we have
been deponding for quinine on -the
cultivation of the cinchona tree, from
whose bark only about two per cent of
good quinine can be extracted, 98 per
cent being valueless, tne arug can now
be manufactured without limit by a
verv simple process from an artiole
which can always be gotten in abund
ance in any part of the world.
Ma j. Graham's Address.
HI SPBAKS AT THJC COURT HOUSE.
Yesterday evening Mj. John W.
Graham, democratic candidate for Con
gress, spoke at the court house, opening
the campaign here. The audience was
a very intelligent one. Gov. Scales,
Gen. Cox and justice Merrimon were
among the listeners, and Mr. John
Nichols was an interested hearer. R
H. Battle, Esq., introduced Maj. Gra
ham, saying that he was not unknown
here, as he had spent much of his boy
hood and his earlier school days in Ral
oigh. He took occasion to pay Msj.
Graham high compliments, as a man
true in all life's relations, as soldier,
legislator, citizen He was a true and
honored son of old Orange.
Maj. Graham spoke of his nomination;
said it had been charged: that democrats
had been untrue to their party pledges. He
said there were many matters whioh were
best settled by individual judgment. He
said he would address the laboring men.
The democratic party was the laboring
man's party and had at all times given
attention to any requests or suggestions
made by laboring men. He said a num
ber of questions , had been propounded
to him and he would answer them
and in the most sincere manner.
BOMl QUESTIONS ANSWXRfD.
He answered these questions cate
gorically, as follows r
In regard to the granting of charters
to corporations he said stock should not
be issued until actually paid for and
bonds secured! by mortgage only after
property had come into existenoe of
sufficient vi4lue to pay them .
Iu regard to the coinage of silver he
thought the relative value of gold and
silver should be settled by interna
tional commission.
That convict labor should not be
brought into competition with honest
labor, but employed on public works
and highways.
He thought that public woiksif let
to' contract should be under a require
ment that convict labor should not be
employed.
As to giving subsidies or the credit
of government to private enterprises
he said that taxation should be only
for public purposes, the credit of the
government rarely used and then only
for a public purpose.
As to the settlement of labor
difficulties by arbitration, each side
should be allowed to select a' mem
ber of the board . and those so se
lected should choose an umpire, so that
it should be a board of conciliation,
which would command the confidence of
all parties.
He believed that .there ought to be a
graduated income tax, applied to the
payment of' pensions, and the tax On
tobacco abolished.
He was opposed to pauper immigra
tion and favored the enforcement of the
law against it.
SOMB WORDS TO LABORING MKS.
He went on to speak of the matter
of taxes, declaring that they must be
levied only for public purposes and not
for private ends. He said that he would
rather maintain his integrity in this can-
.i . . r
vass than to gain a seat in uongress.
(Applause.) He said it had been
charged that he had spoken against the
Knights of Labor. He had done no
such thing. He acked what reason
there was for leaving the democratic
party. He said in the answers he had
Jiven he was in full accord with the
emocratio platfornvand with what the
democratic members of Congress en
deavored to do at the late session. He
read the planks of theplatform referring
to these matters. He asked in regard
to the Knights of Labor if it was thought
right to foroe its members to support
only members of that order for offices.
He asked this in a frank way, and in
the Bame way in which he took it the
questions had been asked him: He
went on to read the work done
in the house of representative at
the last session in aid of Amer
ican free labor. He also read
the views of President Cleveland in re
gard to labor disputes, recommending a
government labor commission. Maj.
Graham said he did not agree to this
plan, as he thought both sides ought to
be represented upon such a commission.
He said that the question was asked
him sometimes when he beoame a friend
to the laboring man. He said he learned
that during the war. . He had learned
to respect the laboring man, who form
ed of course the rank and file of the
army. It was no new song with him.
In response to the question if he did not
vote to reduce printers' wages,
FAVORS GOOD WAGES.
He said he never had done so. He
had always believed in paying good
wages. He mentioned incidentally
that he had onoe voted for
Mr. Nichols for pubho printer. Ho
spoke of labor, as being of the
head and of the hands, and said that all
laborers were entitled to respect. He
said that there had been absurd rumors
about what he had said in speeches at
Durham and Smithfield. He spoke of
the Knights of Labor and of questions
arising out of labor. He said that
there were fears among the farmers tuat
the Knights had a purpose to disorgan-c
ize farm labor. He said he had assured
farmers that this was not so. He said
that laborers had a right to organize to
protect their interests.
IAVORS TBI BLAIR BILL.
He touched upon the charge in Mr.
Nichols' address that the Blair bill wsl
defeated by democrats. He said that sonie
of the North Carolina representatives
were opposed to it, but hehadnotioed
that those members who had opposed it
had not been returned. He said he
a .a w a aha a a a av
was for the Blair bill and would sup-
Eort and tote for it, while he was not
opeful of its passage. He thought the
Northern people would not be willing
for it to pass, as the South would get
the bulk of the money. Bat
w
he believed the North Caro
lina, members to be chosen would
support it. He referred to the matter
of the purchase of the railways by the
government. That would require $6.
000,000,000. lie thought a bill to! reg
ulate the railways and make them per
form their duties would answer thet pur
pose, HIS PUBLIC WORK. '
Maj. Graham spoke of his public acts
as a legislator and his efforts to
stem the tido of radical extravagance
and save the people from the burdens of
excessive taxation. He read a selection
from one of his speeches made in taking
that stand against the special tax jbond
bills He had in 1870 aided in .pass
ing the bill to take off all the railway
taxes, 43 cents on the 1 0, thus reliev
ing the popple of a grievous burden.
He . had at that time represented the
democrats of Wake, whentney had no
representative. It wis pleasantly
remarked that he had abeady represent
ed the district. He spoke pleasantly of
Ta t . 1 a . 1 1 a r J.T
xtaietgn ana saia ne naa always striven
to advanoe its interests.
THI PUBLIC DIBT.
He spoke of ' his desire
secure a settlement of
to
the
public debt. That the debt was now
settled and the State's 4 per cent bonds
above par.- He spoke in reference
to the national debt and said he would
go to congress with no wild theories.
He said the democrats must have the
confidence of the business men to achieve
success. He endorsed secretary
ning's vievvB upon keeping both
and bilver as circulating mediums,
believed in keeping up the dual
Men
gold lit
coin-T
age and gaitmg as much money in cir
culation as possible. Uo hoped tbat
international action on this matter could
be secured so as to regulate it.
' FACT3 IOR COLORED PKOPLX.
la conclusion he said he wished tc
state to the colored people that b had
been said that the democrats wished
to take away their rights oi
cuffrage. He said that the' representa
tion was -based upon the colored Voters
well as the white and thisalone secured
the strength of Southern representation.
Therefore it would be the last thiug
which a Southern democrat would ttke
frOm them. :
LIQUOR AND TOBACCO TAXES
As a practical matter he believed that
tnetax snouia.De removed irom tobacco;
he feared it would not be repealed upon J
whisky. His view was that all j taxes
on whisky, brandy and tobacco should
be taken off. He again spoke of his
strong advocacy of an income tax with
which to pay pensions. L
.He said as to free trade, that was
an illusion. There would always
be a tariff,' He said that thej cus
toms were laid only to secure the tax.
If American industries could be fostered,
why xfeat ought to be done. i
1 HIS PLAN OF CAMPAIGN.
; He said that in conducting his cam
paign it would alwys be done courte
ously and fairly. He would always bo
pleased to divide time with his op
ponent. He urged the people toj come
out and vote. He said the working
people must keep the democratic party
ia supremacy. He declared that he had
at all times carried out his pledges to
the people.! He spoke of the duty a
representative in Congress owed his
people, every one of whom stood in the
same relation to him.
f Msj. Graham's speech ended at 9.30.
He was at its close applauded.
MR. NICHOLS SPIAKS. .
I There were calls for Mr. Nichols, who
began his speech by saying that it had
not been his purpose to enter the can
vass or to make any speeches before the
election. He said he was present to
hear Maj. Graham and not to make a
speech, but he would at all events
speak a few moments. He spoke in
high terms of Maj. Graham. He said
ho proposed to show what the democratic
party had done for the working men.
He read the bill forbidding the impor
tation of foreign contract labor,
and . said the democrats attempt
ed to evade the penalty. He spoke cf
Maj. Graham's claims that republicans
had defeated the Blair bill and claimed
that the republican Senate had passed
the bill and that it had died in the dem
ocratic House. He touched upon tne
tariff, but made no statement as to his
views. As to land grants he said
that the democrats first I made
these donations of publio lands to
the railways in 1850. He claimed that
the House had refused or neglected to
pass many bills declaring these grants
forfeited'. He said that in regard to the
repeal of internal revenue taxes the
democrats were pledged to vote fdr such
repeal, but yet had done nothing to
wards seouring it. He referred to some
charges made against him in regard to
the removal of white olerks in the post
office and the substitution of negroes,
declaring that he had never done so.
He said that it had been charged that
he had procured his election to the pres
idency of the Knights of Labor. Ho
said there was, no such office and he did
not hold it. He said that while ho
expeoted that many Knights of Labor
would vote for him, for whioh he would
thank them, he had appealed to no
Knight, And would not do so, to vote
for him. He asserted that he hid used
no undue influence. He referred to tho
appointment of the negro Matthews as
the holder of an important office, and
asked what was the difference between
that and his (Niohols') appointment of
a negro as general delivery clerk at tne
noHtoffioe. Mr, Niohols Bald . he
would stake his election upon
the
matter of the tariff and
upon
the importation of foreign labor. He
took srrouhd against f.ee trade. He spoke
of the labor arbitration bill that had
been Voted against bv a number of dem
ocrats. He charged that democratic
vnfcfts were alwavs against labor' and al
ways against repeal of the internal
revenue. He said the democrats had
actually increased the taxes by adding
that of oleomargarine. He spoke of the
appeal to tho colored voters and said
when it came to votes theirs were gen
erally counted out. He spoke to his
fellow working men, tolling them th y
had just listened to what he termed
Maj. Graham's sophistryi in declaring
himself the friend of the workingman.
He said that Maj. Graham's interests
and views were all with the capitalists.
Ho said people would think he was a
"horny-headed (sic) son of toil." He
intimated that Maj. Graham and his
friends and associates were capitalists.
He spoke to Knights of Labor, staying
that they must be true to .: each
other and declaring that in ten years
their principles would prevail over
the whole country. He ; charged that
half tlto existing evils jwero brought
about by one-sided democratic legisla
tion. In conclusion he made an appeal
to the" voters to support him. He said
that by the help of God and the votes of
the working men he was going to be
elected. Ho said that Maj. Graham
had arranged his appointments without
oonsultiDg him (Nichols ) Uq only
spoke this time because he thought it
proper to meet Maji Graham here on his
(Niohols') own "dunghill." In con
clusion Mr. NicholB said that this was
his first political speech. He stood by
his address, by every word in it, and
would stand or ifall by it.
