The Kind You Have Always Bought Bears the Signature of Sensible Advice. Mr. Editor : Having read so much in the Northern newspa pers concerning the recent race troubles in the South, I feel that it is my indispensable duty as a negro and a Southern citi zen, to say to them that it would be advisable for them to let the affairs of the Southern people of the South. Did the Southern people inter fere with them in the race riot which occurred in New York City July 10th, 1863, where more than forty negroes were murdered? I think it is high time for the 0n.

How H8 Knew He Wasn't Dead. Thomas H. Grihain, Presi dent of the Board of Managers of the Dodge City Soldiers' Home, told a Journal reporter last week a story about ;an old soldier named John Clark, who came near being buried alive. He had been ill a long time with typhoid fever, and at last lapsed into a comatose state and was pronounced dead.' Burial robes were placed upon him and he was tenderly placed in a casket to await interment, on the following day. During the night ho regained.his-senses and rose up in his narrow pris- today tells the story of his nar row cscane from being buried alive. Mr. Grishain has talked with Clark about this strange expe rience. Tell me," said Grisham to Clark one day since the dead ,'how did you came to hfe, feel when you died and how did. you first know mat you were alive?" When I appeared to myself," said Clark, "to be dying, tfie experience was a very pleasant one.

Until a few weeks ago a five- story brick building. 100 feet ront and 60 feet deep, compris ing four separate stories, with flats above them, occupied the southeast corner of Willis ave nue and One hundred andThir- y fourth street, New York, but the construction of the Willis avenue bridge across Harlem river made it necessary to ap propriate the site of this build- ng for the approaching struct- , . 1 1 t xt ure, and as tne vaiue 01 mese stores was estimated at about $15,000 each, it was decided to save them by moving them bod ily to ari adjacent site in the middle of the south side ot the same block. An interesting de scription of this operation is given by the Engineering Re cord. The whole block, having an estimated weight of about 3,000 tons, was moved 75 feet south and 35 feet east in about three weeks by a simple system of skidding and the use of a large number of jackscrews of the or dinary kind. Three hundred and hfty jacK- screws were used in raising the building about one inch, so that the old foundation could be cut away, .but only 21 were employ ed in moving it over the five tiers of skids or Umber 75 feet to the south, which was accom plished in 17 davs, after which o push it to the east as far as A 1 Vi, i necessary required vuiy icu screws, and una wui-k. w o-u-complished in , four days. In these operations all the timber down to the fourth tier moved with the building, but below the fifth tier it was stationary except as it wTas taken up after the building had been moved from above it and laid down in advance to again receive the annroadhing building. After the moving was completed the needle beams were jacked up from the crib work, so as to re lease the-lower tier of beams, which were removed, and the new foundation walls were com pleted and the building lowered safely 6 feet 10 inches into po sitionrupon them byreyrsing he operation of the jactscrews. The work was so well done that no cracks were visible in the brick walls and not even a win dow was broken. The whole of this work from the time the first shoring and needle beams were placed required five weeks and twenty men. Remarkable Rescue. Michael Curtain, Plain fieid, 111., makes the statement, that she caught cold, which settled on her lungs; she was treated for a month by her fam ily physician, but grew worse. He told her she was a nopeiess victim of consumption and that no medicine could cure her. Her druggist suggested Dr. King's New Discovery for Con enmntinn ! she bought a bottle and to her delight found herself benefitted from first dose..

The important results which have been realized in this coun try and Canada through the utilization of the Falls of Ni agara for the production of elec tricity are about to bo achieved in Switzerland, says the Elec trical Review, where the Rhine will soon become a rival of Ni- agara as an electrical agent. The necessary works were com-! menced some time ago, and are now rapidly nearing completion. The electric force that will be thus drawn from the waters of the river will be somewhere in the neighborhood of 16,000 or 17,000 horse-power, and will be supplied by 20 turbines, of 800 horse-power each. The greater part of this immense force will be in the hands of one or two companies, who will employ it to their own individual benefit, and to the exclusion of the gen eral interest of the public. At the same time that the hydrau lic works necessary for the util ization of the waters of the Rhine in the production of elec tricity are being carried out; the erection of a large factory for the manufacture of alumi nium is in progress. , This fac tory will employ 2,000 horse power, and will be the most important of its kind in Swit zerland. The -aluminium in dustry has lately .assumed con siderable importance in the country which hopes to become the rival of the United States in the manufacture of this article. The Rhine will also furnish electric power for the Frich Aaran Railroad, the work in connection with which is now well under way. This utiliza tion of the Rhine for electrical it i 1 x. purposes win not oniy trans form the existing condition of certain important industries in Switzerland, but will open up an industrial future tho great ness of which can hardly bo at present appreciated. Not as Fortunate as Hobson. What is said in the following communication written by Col. W. S. Lovell, of Palmyra, Miss., and published this week in The Vicksburg Herald, may be re membered by some Confederate veterans. Col. Lovell says : "In 1861 I obstructed the channel of Pensacola harbor, between Fort Pickens on Santa Rosa Island, Florida, and Fort McRae, by; sinking four vessels chained together. ' ' The dis tance between the forts was but three-quarters of a mile. I towed the vessels out with two steamers on a dark night; passed nearly 100 guns on the battery along the beach on Santa Rosa Island.- It was so close we distinctly heard the sentinel sing out : ' Two o'clock and all is well ' "Gen. Bragg, in command of the army at Pensacola, and other officers said it was impos sible to obstruct the channel without being discovered. I said : 'General, I think I can doit.' He said: Go ahead.'
