And now there is talk indeed work commenced for it to have an investigation by congress to see whether or not the President did really accept ail the expenses of that trip which would foot up the neat lit tie sum of sixty-five thousand dollars. till Congressman J. H. Small, of Beaufort county, has done some very hard work for an inland waterway, which is referred to in the last Manufactur Congressman Small's Work. necting the Chesapeake bay and Beaufort Inlet, is confident the plan will be carried out. He states that the United States engineers who have ex amined the route have made a favorable report ; that the commercial data on the subject prove that there will be a saving by the waterway of at least $2,000,000 a year in freight on coastwise trade, and that he has met no opposition, public or private, to tie undertaking." tttt It has been well established scientifically, it is said, that the digestive organs of a cat operate about like these of the human system. On this Watching Digestion. formance goes on in the human stomach during the period of digestion. J ust after a hearty meal pussy cat was strapped to a nice, soft bed and soon became reconciled to the situation, and the watch was begun which re vealed the work of the digestion in her stomach. We do not remember bow many thousand waves of disturbance played across the stomach, up and down, across and back again every minute ; but the cat's stomach per forming the same kind of function during the digestive period that the human stomach does, we get the conclusion that there is the same num ber f wave disturbances. Science is a great thing and will do wonders yet. tttt There seems to have been discovered one real use for chewing gum at last. Many people chew it to no purpose except for the sugar in it or be Chewing (Hun and Lunatics. has ordered a supply of chewing gum for the inmates of the asylum. As glyen by the Sunny South the following is a more accurate press report : "The contracts awarded by the State board ot control for supplies for the ensuing quarter include a considerable quantity ot chewing gum to pacify the patients of the insane asylum and the State hospitals. The observa tion of the board is that chewing gum often has an excellent effect on the patients, aud that it enables them to concentrate their minds on various forms ot work and soothes them during violent spells. On being given gum some of the violent patients have been known to collect their wits and diligently pursue a task." tttt - Somewhere, at some time, somebody wrote that "Hillsboro and Damas cus are two places that never change." On this sort of epigram a good Hillsboro and Damascus. says r "Ever been to Hillsboro, that dear old town where time and its mu tations are as nothing?" No cleverer people in the world, and they are sat isfied. There is practically tin same number of population, so a gentleman tells us, that there was a century ago. If they gain not, neither do they lose. The same town clock that called together the Provisional Conven tion of 1775 still does duty. The bell has a hole in it as big as a peck measure, to be sure, but 'tis good yet. The local editor takes off two weeks during the year, one in summer and one at Christmas, and gives his patrons only fifty issues a year. They'll be as well off a hundred years hence as if they were receiving fifty-two, says he. The county has never had but one register of deeds, for the simple reason that the man who was elected when this office was created, in 1868, still holds it. The town Is yet using the cobblestones which Cornwallis laid in the" streets." ' ' - ' X . t For twenty-nine years in Drill hall in Edinburg, a free'breakfaat has been served to drunkards every Sunday morning. Here is a description of the Breakfast for Drunkards. wich done up in a paper bag and a cup of hot tea. The copper kettles for brewing the tea hold 60 gallons each, so every one gets as much as he wishes. If there are any sandwiches left over they are divided among the woaen afterwards. Most of the men eat as if it was their only meal of the week, but some are so drunk they drop their cups, and even fall off of the bench themselves. All of th a 'guests' have to be watched carefully, es pecially the women, who often try to mix whiskey with their tea. Of course tne object of getting these poor creatures to come to the Sunday breakfast is to get in touch with them with the idea of reforming them. The meals, which are followed by religious songs and gospel reading, are not in tended for the ordinary poor the missions and churches look after them but for the out-and-out drunkards and women of the street. Good Christian women and kind-hearted men serve the breakfast and make a point of ' speaking to every guest. Now In almost every part of Scotland people can - be fonnd who have changed their ways through the influence of Drill ball. This work, by the way, is supported entirely be voluntary subscriptions and has been throughout its twenty-nine years' existence." r, PASSING EVENTS. on his trail.

Ah, soon on field and bill The wind shall whistle chill, And patriarch swallows call their flocks together, To fly from frost and snow, And seek for lands where blow Tbe fairer blossoms of a balmier weather.

Now comes a fragrant breeze Through the dark cedar trees, Ana round about my temples fondly lingers. In gentle playfulness, Like to the soft caress Bestowed in happier days by loving fingers.

Rich ard Holtz, of Cleveland, and Major Hunter, of Cincinnati, left here to-day for Wise Court House. They had not gone far before they met with a thrill ing experience and one wLich they will not soon forget. They came upon a country barbecue where, in a beauti ful woodland, people were dancing and making merry. A large space had been cleared off in an open spot and In tbe center a band stand had been erect ed and a country string band was furn ishing music. Vehicles of eyery de scription were crowded together about the place, and in tbe outskirts jnen and boys were drinking hard cider from barrels. Many were drunk and several had been shooting their revol vers in tbe air, and tbe country officers could do nothing with them. The Salvationists were almost para lyzed. They had learned while here that Letcher county was one of the worst in the State, having more feudb and more murders than any of its sis ter counties ; but now the Salvationists saw a reason for the trouble the hard cider, dancing and revolvers, with nri restraint. It was some time before they could make up their minds what to do, but finally they opened seryices under a large tree by tbe roadside, be ginning by playing on their tambour ines and cornets, and soon a crowd gathered. While members of tbe corps were exhorting and tbe people assembled some drunken rowdies began firing off their revolvers and the people began to scatter. The shooting was so cloee that the Salvationists feared to -continue their meeting. They closed with prayer for the souls of the people and rode away.

Wisdom in Conversation, Atlanta Constitution. "Talk about 'things,' not 'people,' if you do not care to be considered pro vincial," recently advised a well bred woman of tbe world when one much younger than herself complained to her tbat through a careless remark about another she had been accused of disloy alty when no such thing was intended. "It always argues a local atmosphere when one ot more women,assembled for pleasurable pastime; can find nothing to discuss save some absent friend or acquaintance. "Even it the conyersation is agreea ble at the beginning, when it contin ues any length of time the 'ifs' aud tbe 'buts' will C"eep in, and some fault or tailing of the one discussed is mention ed. "This failing, whatever it may be, up to that time has been observed by only one person, but when tbe vice mentioned becomes tbe knowledge of tbe party assembled and then in time to as many more. "If in days afterwards my of the three or four friends who began the friendly converse about the absent one happens to be accused of circulating the report, which has assumed that proportion, they will indignantly deny the charge, assert that loyalty Hgain and really feel innocent of what they are accused. "Yet they are directly accountable, through their idle conversation, their careless indulgence in personalities, of having probably Hone a friend a hope less lojury. "True, it is more interesting to dis cuss people the people that one knows beet but if tbe conversation too con tinuously binge on one person, no mat ter bow loyal tbe talkers may think they are, there is danger of something being said that may be misconstrued, or misunderstood, or perverted in rep etition. "It is surperfluous always to ob serve)" continued the wise woman of worldy experience, "that the woman who continually criticises, abuses or ridicules another woman to that degrre when it becomes noticeable, that she Injures herself far more than the object ot her dislike. In the case of tbe abuse being indulged in before men, tbe lat ter are at once touched with feelir.g for the one beiug roasted, as they term it, and the general impression justly entertained by well bred men and wo men alike is that nothing is so con demned :n woman as her uncharitable eommenrs about another. "These little comments may be d: rent or tbey may be Insinuating J they may even h ve their effect for tbe time being on those who hear them, but in variably tbe woman talked against or picked at by her women associates will in tbe end be recognized as more 'sin ned against than sinning,' and tbe harsh criticism will always react upon the one guilty of it.' A PERFECT, PAINLESS PILL is the one that will cleanse the system, set the liver to action, remove tbe bile, clear tbe complection, cure headache and leave a good taste in the mouth. Tbe famous little pills for doing ftich work pleasantly and effectually are De Witt's Little Early Risers. Bob Moore, of Lafayette, Ind , says : "All other pills I have used gripe and sicken, while De Witt's Little fcarly Risers are simply perfect." For sale by E. T. Whitehead A Co.

I,''-'- APASTOR'SWIFE She Suffered for Years and Felt Her Case Was Hoper less Cured by Peruna. MRS. ANITA B. FLEHARTY, recent Superintendent of the W. C. T. U. headquarters, at Galesburg, 111., was for fen years one of the leading wonlcit there. Her husband, when living, was first President of the Nebraska Wesleyan University, at Lifleeln, Neb. In a letter written from iOl Sixty seventh street, W."t Chicago, 111., Mr. Fleharty says the following in regard to Peruna: Hving lived a very active life as wife and working partner of a busy minister, my health failed me a few years aga I lost my husband about the eamo time, and gradually I seemed to lose health and spirit. My daughter is a confirmed invalid, and we both felt great need of an invigorator. " One of my neighbors advised me to try Peruna. A bottle was immediate ly, secured and a great change took place lit my daughter's as well as in my own health. Our appetites im proved very greatly, Hie' digestion seemed much helped, and restful sleep soon improved us, so that we seemed Uke new women. " I would not be without Peruna for tea times its cost" Mrs. Anna B. Fleharty. What used to be called female diseases by the medical profession is nojv called pelvic catarrh. It has Ijeen found by experience that catarrhal diseases of the pelvic organs are the cause of most cases ol female disease. Dr. Hartman was among the first of America's great physicians to make this discovery. For forty years he has been treating diseases peculiar to women, and long ago he reached the conclusion that a woman entirely free from catarrhal affection of these organs would not be snbject to female disease, lie therefore began using Peruna for these cases and found it so admirably adapted to their permanent cure that Peruna has now become the hiost famous remedy for female diseases ever known. Every where the women are using it and prais ing it. Peruna is not a palliative sim ply; it cures by removing the cause of female disease. ; Dr. Hartman hn,s probably cured more women of female ailments than any other living physician. He makes these cures simply by using and recommend ing Pel una i TEHP2BANCE IN TII3 SOUTH One Hundred and Twenty-&5x Conn ties in Texas Eava Prohibition. Washington Post.
