Among the p. eminent men of , the country who spend their summers in the delightful old county of Hamp shire is Bishop Huntington, of Syra -cuse, N. Y., who resides for the sum mer in an old fashioned farm house somewhat modernized, in the quaint and historical old town of Hadley. Your reporter had a very pleasant chat the other day with this well known theologian on the political as pects of the day. While the Bish op's tastes and work do not lead him into politics, yet he is a keen observ er of what is going cn in the political world, and his deductions are made after mature reflection and careful investigation. As to his own posi tion the Bishop said : "I class myself with the Independents, for I am in the Uabit of voting according to the character of the men placed in nomi nation. In reply to a query as to his opinion of Mr. Blaine he said : 'Well I have no dasire to publish my opin ions to the world, nor do X care to hold them back. I have never been in favor of Blaine, whom I recognize as a tratneker in onicial mnuence, and I am very much pained to see so many of my New England friends yielding up the high standard of morals so requisite t'o the Presiden tial candidate in the past. Nothing has been said in this miserable at -tempt which can bring him into the society of the pure statesmen of the pa6t. It would indeed be deplorable if the young men of this nation should be informed by this election that the people of the United States condone the offenses proved against James G. Blaine. The moral effect would be very depressing should they be told by his election that they, can lie, de fraud, become demagogues, bribe givers and takers and still not forfeit the public confidence. It is a humil iating spectacle to see men like Hoar, Dawes and others twisting his'dis- lonored record in such a way as to become a deliberate attempt to make his conduct reputable. To me the action of those who sneer at the at tempt to purify the political atmos phere is contemptablo.' As the Bishop spends most of his time in central New York bis opinion of Cleveland has weight. In answer to his views of Cleveland he remark ed: 'His public life has been trust worthy, upright and manly. Ho is a man of honor and there is much in his public career to admire.' Touch ing upon the scandal concerning Gov. Cleveland's private life, Bishop Huntington, said with emphasis: 'Believing as I do that this is a thing of the past and no part of his present character, I shall certainly yote for him. Until I came into this State I never heard auhgt about this scandal. He does not look with complacency on the past, and is not living as a dis solute man. According to the Chris tianity which I teach, Ave are to for give, and as I understand that he is living an honorable life in the pres ent, I see no reason why I should not cast my vote for the reform Govern or, Grover Cleveland.' , Poor, Inconsistent York. Statesville Landmark. Dr. York has been put in the nine hole on the poll tax question. Follow iug on the lead of various Republic caa papers, and in hu capacity as the own and only friend of the "niggers and poor white folks," to use his own language, he has made a good deal of outcry against that paragraph in the state revenue law which-requires the sheriffd to collect a poll tax from all proper subjects who are able to pay it. Old men do not pay poll tax, and the poor and infirm may be ex cused by the commissioners; but those who are liable and who can do so must pay. The poll tax goes to the school fund. The law is a right eous one and ought to be strictly en forced. We are indebted to the Re publicans for it. The Raleigh News and Observer has been delving into the records and finds that it was first enacted by the Republican Legisla ture in 1869. It has been re enacted in divers revenue bills since the Leg islature of 1871 -'72 re enacted it and Dr. York voted for it. Poor reckless, inconsistent man! He had forgotten what his own record was and has been abusing a law which he helped to en act. And the Republican press, the Greeusboio North State in particular, which has been harping on the poll tax law for months what has it to say now that it has been ascertained that the Bourbons borrowed this law from the immaculate. body which sat in the State capitol in 1869 and the majority of the members of which left the State directly after the ad journment, one of thena assigning as his reason for so doing that "there was nothing left to steaL" .

Some months ago it was d ": ed to establish in St- John's Hospital, Ral eigh, an endowed cot for children, in memory of the late Bishop Atkinson. In order to do this it will be necessary to raise a fund of $2,500, the interest on which sum will used to meet the expenses of the cot, which will be free to children from all sections of the Stf .-. Over $500 have already been re ceived, and in order to hasten the accomplishment of this most worthy charity, it has been decided to hold in Raleigh, during the "Exposition,'' a "Grarid Bazoar" for the benefit of the cot.; The ladies of the Church of the Good Shepherd have secured a most desirable corner store on Fay etteville Street, a part of which wil! be given lor the use sf the Bazaar. The ladies will have a lunch coun ter and will also attend to the sale of articles for the cot during the month of October. The request is most earnestly made that all Congrega tions, Sunday Schools, Societies, and Individuals who take an interest in the matter, vill send such useful and fancy article as they can get togeth er, as soon alter the 20th September as possible. AU articles should be priced by the sender an'd freight pre paid to Raleigh. All articles will be duly acknowl edged, aud erery effort will be made to dispose of them to the best advan tage. Packages either by mail, ex. press Or freight, should be marked, For Memorial Cot, Care William Woolcot, Raleigh, N. C, enclosing, name or names of donors with Post Office address. Lat everyone send something, and help on the b'essed work of caring for the suffering children of our State. -Edw. R. Rich, Chaplain, St. John's Hospital. Jay Gould's Country Home. Gould's establishment at Irvington has very peculiar associations. The original buildidg is by no means new, but its grandeur is such that it holds distinction even in these days of progress. Many years ago William Paulding was a lawyer in this city and made a large fortune, also the dignity of mayor. attaining Much of his wealth va3 in real estate on the Hudson, and his two sons, Frederick and Philiip, became, on his death, prominent as rich young men. But they dieel early, and their wealth has been scattered. The former was the grandfather of the play-actor, Fred erick Paulding, who is now the sole representative of the family. He has retired from the stage on account of ill health, and now lives in this city. Phillip Paulding had an ambiiion to build the finest dwelling in America. He selected a river front of extended view, and in due time a marble palace attracted the admiration of tourists. Its chief feature was an oriel window of rare beauty, which is still justly admired. Paulding, however, soon sickened of his grand house, which in fact he never completely finished, and the admiring tourists would have been surprised, had they visited the spot, to find the owner a disappointed man living in seclusion in one coner of the buildinf After his death the estate went into the hands of an ex ecu tor, who embezzled it, and the heirs are now poor. Gould bought the place, which he enlarged and im proved at an immense coiit, and in his hands it became Lyndhurst, the grandest establishmet on the banks of the Hudson. Utica Herald Col. Bennett's Canvass. Col. Bennett has made speeches at Charlotte, Pineville aud Mathews Station. He makes a good impres sion wherever he goes. He is the same bold, earnest, eloquent, effect ive speaker that he was in 1SS2. We have heard men well qualified to judge say that Li3 speech at Smith ville in that year was a great speech. A correspondent from South Caroli na of the Charleston Neics and Couri re, told us that it was the very best speech he had listened to since the war. Col. Bennett will speak more than once in New Hanover county before the election in November. We hope that the Democrats in a body will turn out to hear him speak. We take a deep interest in his suc cess. Mo man calling himself a dem ocrat can afford to remain from the polls Or "scratch" any name. This is no time for party discussions' and personal piques. Bury, all differen ces and quit yoa like men. Wre have not the shadow of a shade of doubt of the election of Col. Bennett. We believe it will be by at leat 1,500 ma jority and it can be made easily 200O by a strong pull, a long pull and a pull altogether. Star. ! " .

One of t he Mo6t Unaccountable and Dangerous of Recent Deceits Dis covered and Exposed. There is some mysterious trouble that is attacking nearly everyone in the land with more or less violence. It seems to steal into the body like a thief in the night. Doctors cannot diagnose it. Scientists are puzzled by its symptoms. It is, indeed, a modern mystery. Like those severe and vague maladies , that attack horses and prostrate nearly all the animals in the land, this subtle trou ble seems to menanco mankind. Many of its victims have pains about the chest and sides, and sometimes in the back. They feel dull and sleepy, the mouth has a bad taste, especially in the morning. A strange sticky slime collects about the teeth The appetite is poor. There is a feel ing like a heavy load upon the stom ach ; sometimes a faint all-gone sen sation is felt at the pit of the stom ach, which food does not satisfy. The eyes grow sunken, the hands and feet feel clammy at one time and burn intensely at others. After a while a cough sets in, at first dry, but after a few months it is attended with a grayish colored expectoration. The afflicted one feels tired all the while, and sleep 4oes not seem to af ford any rest. He becomes nervous, irritable, and gloomy, nnd has evil forebodings. There is a giddiness, a peculiar whirling sensation in the head when rising up suddenly. The bowels become costive, and then, again, outflux intensely; the skin is dry and hot attunes; the blood grows thick and stagnant; the whites of the eyes become tinged with yellow ; the urine is scanty and high colored, depositing a sediment after standing. There is frequently a spitting up of food, sometimes with a sour taste, and sometimes with a sweetish taste; this is often attended with palpita tion of the heart. The vision be comes impaired, with spots before the eyes ; there is a feeling of pros tration and great weakness. Most of these symptoms are in turn present. It is thought that nearly one-third of our population have this disorder in some of its varied forms, while med ical men V.ave almost wholly mista ken i(s nature. Some have treated it for one complaint; some for an other, but nearly all have failed to reach the seat of the disorder. In deed, many physicians are afflicted with it themselves. The experience of Dr. A. G. Richards, residing at No. 4G8 Trernont street, Boston, is thus described by himself : "I had all those peculiar nnd pain ful symptoms which I have found af flicting so many of my patients, and which had so often baffled me. I knew all the commonly established remedies woule be unavailing for I had tried them often in the past. I therefore determined to strike out in a new path. To my intense satisfac tion I found that I was improving. The dull, stupid feeling departed and I began to enjoy life once more. My appetite returned. My sleep was refreshing. The color of my face which had been a sickly yellow gradually assumed the pink tinge of health. In the course of three weeks I felt like a new man and know that it was wholly owing to the wonder ful efficiency of Warner's Tippecanoe The Best, which-was all the medi cine I took." Tammany for Cleveland. A dispatch to the Baltimore Sun in speaking of the Democratic outlook in N. Y., says that Tammany will work for Cleveland that Mr. John Kelly will arrive m this city on Mon day from Saratoga, and will imme diately take personal supervision of the arrangement preliminary to the meeting of the Tammany organiza tion on Friday evening, the 5th of September. There is probably not the slightest doubt now but that Tammany will not -only ratify the nomination of Cleveland and Hen dricks, but -will work for the election of the ticket with a will. A sudden change has taken place in the situa tion within the last few days, and now those who are closest to John Kelly say that the re will be no trouble and even go so far as to declare that at the Tammany Hall meeting not a dissenting voice will be raised against the ratification of the democratic ticket. This may be an extreme statement in view of the fact that ex State Senator Grady has announced that he would make a speech on the occasion, but it can be carried out should Kelly desire to prevent his making his proposed protest. i - De3m&iues, Sept. 8. Gen. Bat ler spent yesterday quietly at Colfax Springs, w hither Gen. Weaver, the Hon. El H. Gillette, and other Green backers went early in the day. A conference was held between Butler and the part? magnates. This after noon 7,000 or 8,000 people were pres ent when he began his speech, com posed largely of city vorking men and coal miners. Many left after they h ad gazed upon his, feat u res, but 5,000 heard him through and cheered his, best points heartily. There ia no doubt that his visit has benefitted the allied opiosition. .. . , , .- v. v . Poisonous Plants and Flowers. The are many 'plants whoso leaves, flowers and seeds contain virulent poisons, which every one should know, so as to avoid them and keep children from them. Buttercups possesses a poisonous property, which disappears when the flowers are dried in hay; no cow will feed upon them while they are in blossom. So caustic are the uetels that they will sometimes inflame tho skin of tender fingers. Every child should be cautioned agniust eating them ; indeed, it is desirable to cau tion children about tasting tho petals of any flowers, or putting leaves into their mouths, except those known to be harmless. The oleander contains a deadly poison in its leaves and flowers, and is said to be a dangerous plant for the parlor or dining room. The flow er and berries of the wild bryony possesses a powerful purgative, and the red berries, which attract children have proved fatal . The seeds of tho laburnum and catalpa treeshould be kept from children, as there is a poisonous prope-ity in their bark. Thy seed of the yellow and the rough pod ded vetches will produce nausea and severe headache. . Fool's Parsley has tuberous roots, which have been mistaken .for tur nips, and produced u fatal effect an hour after they wei'o eaten. Meadow hemlock is said to bo the hemlock which Socrates drank; it kills by its intense action On the nerves, producing complete insensi bility and palsy of the arms and tegs, and is a most dangerous drug, except in skilled hands. In August it is found in every field by the seashore, and near mountain tops, in full bloom, and ladies and children gath er its large clusters of tiny white flowers in quantities, without the least idea of their poisonous qual ities. The water hemlock, or cow bane, assembles parnips, and has been eaten for them with deadly ef fect. The water drop wort resembles cel. ery when notiu flower, and its roots are similar to thoso of the parsnip but they contain a virulent poison, produciong convulsions, which end in death in a short time. The fine leaved water dropwort and the com mon dropwort are also dangerous weeds. The bulbs of the daffodils were ' oneo mistaken for leekn and l-oiled in soup with very disastrous effects, making the whole hosehold intensely nauseated and the children did not recover from their effects for several daj's. Dragman. Stcdman in the AVest. The News and Observer says : Ma jor Stedman reports that he has been received with the warmest cor diality by the people of the trans montane country at every point and that Democracy is booming from Asheville to Murphy. On the other hand the people of tho West say that they have -seldom heard so eloquent and forcible a speaker as Major Sted man and that in this his first cairf. paign ho bus vanquished his oppo nent at every appointment of the joint canvass dealing Celling blows daily for sound Democracy and the right. That Doujjhty Duchess. OPPOSITE OPINIONS ABOUT A WONDERFUL WOMAN HER THUNB AND KINOKRS. "Crack nuts with her fingers? Why, you Ci-.r.'t mean it !" cried u young Uidy gr.-' htr-.te-of tho Norma. C-)'leKe. iu th. utmost 'islunis.hment. "But 1 do inf!!i it," affir.nseit her g brother, who had taken severa. baizes in athletics, "and I reassert it: pr hat Cburga, wife of Duke Ern est, of Austria, could crack nuts with her fingers and drive nails mto the wall with her thumb." "What a monstrous woman!" said the young lady. "What a useful woman," amended her big brother. The Austrian Duchess was mighty because she kept good hours, good habits and perfect digestion. Mrs. Allice Strong, of Pittsburg, Pa writes a different story about herself, but deserves praise for her frankness. She says: "For the past three years I have been subject to severe attacks of colic and cramps, and exhausting attacks of Diarrhoea. Weary of ex perimenting with medicines, I turned, without hope,, to Pap.KER's Tonic. Three bot ties cured me entirely. I have tried it also for other ailments with which women are often afflicted and it far surpassed my expectations. I am happy to offer this testimony for the benefit of other women." sLwhadieo rre interested iu Mrs. Strong's letter, will please remark that Parker's tonic is not intoxicant. It cures colic easily, but by virtue of many rare and powerful ingredi ents, it also masters all diseases of the blood such for example, as Rheu matism, Consumption, scrofula, and all disorders of the Kidneys, Liver put? Stomache. It is a vitalizer and etimulent but not an intoxicant.

Old time Repub licans say that the State has always been Republican in Presidential years and can never be otherwise. Con-" tenting themselves with this feeling they do not organize.
