J. G. BANKIN, Proprietor.
Sunday Morning, May 21.
A negro colony is being organized
for the State of Sonora, Mexico.
The motion for a receiver of the
Merchants National bank at Fort
Worth will not effect outside de-
positors.

A negro was recently lynched in
Bedford, Ind., and un exchange says
too many ''southern^putrages" occur
in the north now-a-days.
Harpers Magazine was seized and
confiscated by custom officials of
Turkey on account of alleged im-
morality of its contents. Suppose
they were to see the Police Gazette,
they would die of the shock.
Bob Taylor, of Tennessee, recent-
ly lectured at Cameron and captured
his hearers as well as the editor of
the Herald, which devotes much of
its space to comments on the lecture
in which the worthy Tennesseean
is unstintingly praised.
The plume of the Arince of Wales,
worn on State occasions, is said to
be worth $50,000. The feathers, an
English writer says, are pulled from
the tail of the Feriwah, one of the
rarest and most beautiful birds of
India. Great expense and trouble
are necessary to capture the bird,
which is found only in the wildest
jungles. The feathers are taken
from the live stock.
Three editors of a City of Mexico
paper, which was recently suppress-
ed by order of the government, for
alleged objectionable utterances,
have been sentenced to seven month's
imprisonment in Belem prison, and
each to pay a fine of $300. The
foreman of the same paper has been
sentenced to five months' imprison*-
ment and $200 fine, and the proof-
reader to four months'imprisonment
and $150 fiue. Verily tlie path of
the Mexican newspaper men is not
one strewn with roses.
ggP&y--
A novel contract has been signed
by a number of farmers living in
Franklin township, Ohio, and mem-
bers of the Franklin Grange. They
have agreed to produce 100 ears of
corn of the coming summer's grow-
ing, and at some future meeting next
fall to all meet at the Grange hall
and have each one's corn weighed,
the one whose hundred ears weigh
the heaviest is to have each of the
others corn. . As some thirty are in
the contest the lucky one will have
a fine lQt <?f corn, a special effort
will be made by each contestant to
secure the prize.
A St. Louis man has had a vision
says the Cincinnati Post. He sug-
gests that one of the possibilities of
the future is that the working of the
typewriter in New York will make
and break an electric circuit in a way
that will work the keys of a similar
typewriter in St. Louis. This would
unite the principle of the typewriter
and the -principle of the telegraph
His next dream will probably be of
a mechanism by which a New York
speaker may work his mouth so as
to make and break an electric circuit
and work the mouth of the St. Louis
man. The West always was pretty
well "worked" by New York, any-
how.
An important decision was handed
down in the Common Pleas Court at
Pittsburg, Pa., recently by Judge
Ewing. He refused a charter to the
"Russian Guards," a proposed mili*.
tary company composed entirely of
Russians. In refusing the charter
tbe judge said: "Such organizations
of foreign-born citizens, independent
of the general supervision of the
military organizations of the State,
•re liable to result injuriously to the
oommunity. The statutes of the
State furnish ample fsoilities to citi-
zens, of whatever nativity, to organ-
ize and drill in military companies
under proper restrictions end whole-
some "regulations.
LATIN-AMERICAN WAR8 AND REVOLU-
TIONS.
There is no end to Latin-Ameri-
can revolutions, and if the people to
the south of us had a temple of
Janus like Rome to remain open
during war, it would be closed less
frequently than in "the imperial
city."
It is announced from Cuba and
Honduras that both the revolutions
there are over, or in their last throes,
although it is always an uncertain
matter to accept news from these
countries as authentic; but no sooner
is there peace in Honduras than
civil war breaks out in its immediate
neighborhood, Nicaragua. In the
meanwhile the old struggle that has
existed in Rio Grande do Sul, one
of the Brazilian provinces ever since
Brazil set up as a so-called republic,
continues as lively and bloody as
ever; and it is understood that Per
nambuco and other provinces pro-
pose to try the same experiment
Hayti is ever on the eve of a rev-
olution, kept so only by the mas-
sacre of opponents by its blood-,
thirsty President.
In regard to foreign wars, Hon-
duras is preparing to attack Nicara-
gua because of the assistance the
latter gave the Bonilla revolutionists
in the late civil war; and it is all
the more likely to do so when it
knows that Nicaragua itself is in-
volved in an internecine struggle.
Guatemala and Salvador are prepar-
ing to renew their intermittent war-
fare, while Chili and Argentina are
quarreling, and the prospects are
good for a quadilateral fight between
Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay, and
Paraguay.
There are a few other disturbances
revolutions, etc., we have lost sight
of, but these will give some idea of
the peaceful condition of affairs pre-
vailing to the south of us, aud will
explain to some extent the difficulty
of extending American influence and
commerce there.

C. P. Huntington states that he
has not completed the sale, as re-
ported, of a half a million of acres
of land belonging to the Southern
Pacific railroads in the vicinity of
Sal ton Lake to a syndicate of New
York, Chicago and Denver capital-
ists for $2,000,000. There is a dif-
ference as to the price. The syndi-
cate, represented by John Stratton,
wants control of 2,000,000 acres of
land in Southern California aud
Northern Mexico and will utilize the
Colorado river for the purpose of
irrigating the entire section.

The Fort Worth Gazette says:
"Texas is probably the only state
that does not place its money in the
banks where it will draw interest.
In doing this, the comptroller should
examine carefully into the condition
of the banks and divide his deposits
among the best of them in different
portions of the state, thus keeping
the money in circulation and the
state deriving a considerable sum in
the aggregate from the interest on
its funds. Banker Lasker's letter
is timely and Bhould be carefully
read and considered."
The Rio Grande is out of its banks
in some parts of Mexico and is doing
great damage.
A very funny case is on trial at
Urbana O. Mrs. Belle Glenn,
prominent society lady, is suing a
Chinese laundryman for $60 for
ruining her lace curtains. Both
sides have employed good counsel
and a stubborn fight is being made.
The corn business in Mexico is
again affording a large tonage to the
Mexican roads. The rush is not so
great, and there is less excitement
and reckless speculation, but proba-
bly as many cars will enter the re-
public this year as did last, so say
the railroad men—the only differ-
ence are, the railroads will earn
more money and some of them will
ha^e fewer law suits.
"Positively the very latest and
choicest bit of gossip in Honolulu
social circles," a correspondent
writes, "grows out of the marked at-
tention paid to Miss Marie, the eld-
est olive branch on the Afong tree,
by Mr. Mills, a young Virginian, who
acts as private secretary to Com-
missioner Blount. Of course, there
has been no definite announcement
as yet, but gossips have it that there
is a serious attachment between the
two, and that an announcement may
be expected before the United States
Commission concludes its labor."
It is alleged as a bit of inside
history of the big crash in National
Cordage that James C. Keene, of
New York city, is $1,500,000 winner.
Private information, it is said, con-
veyed through a trio of brokers'
wives enabled Keene to pay off some
old scores and at the same time
make a fortune. The ex-Californian
is said to have been the mysterious
bear in the great crash of this in-
dustrial stock.
Hebe is what the Washington Star
has marked out for the present ad
ministration relating to finance. Re-
peal of the Federal election laws.
The levy of an income tax to offset
reduction in import duties. "Re-
peal of the Sherman silver law.
Abolition of tax on state bank cur-
rency. A complete revision of the
tariff, making decided reductions in
duties on all staple imports." Quite
a sufficient number of reforms to
further distinguish Mr. Cleveland
as a great, wise and judicious refor-
mer.
At the trans-Mississippi congress
recently held at Ogden, it was de-
cided to establish a paper devoted to
the interest of free silver oeinage,
that is to make a fight to have the
white metal placed back where it
was prior to 1873. The paper will
be published in Chicago, the first
issue appearing sometime next
month.
Bew are of Ointments for Catarrh
that Contain Mecury,
as mecury will surely destroy the sense of
smell and completely derange the whole sys-
tem when entering it through the mucous
surfaces. Such articles should never be used
except on prescriptions from reputable phy-
sicians, as the damage they will ao is ten fold
to the good you can possibly derive fiom
them. Hall's Catarrh Cure, Manufactured
by F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, O., contains
no mecury, and is taken internally, acting di-
rectly npon the blood and mucous surfaces of
the system. In buying Hall's Catarrh Cure
be sure you get the genuine. It is taken in-
ternally, and made in Toledo, Ohio, by F. J.
Cheney & Co. Testimonials free.

A Flacky Girl Swimmer.
Miss Fox, daughter of the telegraph
operator who was ducked by the over-
turning of his boat near the war fleet the
other day, emulated her father Monday.
She was candying a dispatch from Wilson
Barrett to Admiral Gherardi when her
boat was swamped, and she was compelled
to swim to the Philadelphia. She deliv-
ered the message damp, but perfectly
legible. Mr. Barrett will reward her
handsomely for her pluck and aquatic
skill.—New York Letter.

Japanese Slow Moving Clocks.
Although the Japanese clocks are di-
vided into the same number of sections
as ours, the hands travel one-half as
fast. The day has six hours and the
night as many, so the entire round from
6un to sun contains but twelve hours,
each equivalent to two of the length to
which we are accustomed.—New York
Recorder.
