Owing to the increasing cost of vanilla beans used in the manufacture of Extract Vanilla, spurious compounds are being thrown upon the market, purporting to be pure vanilla, but prepared principally from Tonqua beans.

mylC 5w SiTMany complaints are- made on all sides of the petty annoyance to which people are subjected by various advertising methods, both distasteful and obnoxious. Advertising circulars are gotten up in the most elaborate manner, encased in envelopes of the latest style, elegantly addressed, and left at our very doors. Again another mode is to have slips of paper thrust into the hands of the pedestrians by impertinent men and boys. In this man ner some persons seek to increase their business. Advertising, if properly used, is the best way of increasing one's business, but it may be so badly used as to be a mere source of expense without remunera tion and one of tho ways in which it becomes so is by making it too obtrnsive.

An advertisement in a respectable paper does not excite suspicion, but this irregular manner is hardly ever successful. The slip is not read, but disdainfully consigned to the fire or waste basket. Wo cannot compel poople to buy. The best way to give sat isfactory information to those intending to purchase is in the columns of a good newspaper. Trunks!

A South College Street merchant thought he had a curiosity in the shape of a gold fish, which he believed had been sent him from New York.

A friend stated it as his belief that it had been caught out of the Schuylkill River, and both thought it "good meat." They were on the eve of havirjg a little fish fry between them, when the joke was exposed, and the congratulations of merchants let tnto the secret gradually simmered down. The fish had died here, had been done up in a neat package, and the package stamped as having been sent from New York. The fifty cent shinplaster he had paid for the package was returned to him.

As tno valise was neitner locked nor marked, it was given up as lost.

Flynn, the Superintendent at Memphis. A few days ago he received it in perfect order, with all its contents undisturbed, and just as he had placed them before getting aboard the cars.

Enterprising Edgefieldians are now discussing as to whether that town ought not to have a fire engine. Their arguments are principally deduced from the last fire. Shall we squirt or not squirt, that is the question. Rumors are floating about to the effec that some action is soon to be taken rela" tive to the erection of a depot. The people have, for some time, been anxious to have the problem solved.

When anyone contemplates committing a crime against the laws of Edgefield, they just think of the "sweat box" and the warm weather, and then don't do it. A concert in which charades and tableaux will be introduced, will be given in a week or two, for the benefit of St. Anne's Church Daring the evening the audience will be called upon to review the "Mulligan Guards," commanded by Capt.

The North Edgefield Presbyterian Sunday-school had a delightful picnio in Bowman's grove yesterday. The heat waB not exnenenced so nraco, tne scholars be- I ing under the cedar trees. The day passed off very pleasantly, as all picnics generally do, being spent in games, etc.

Everybody enjoyed himself, and consequently was well pleased. Actuated by a feeling of curiosity, a young man of a scientific turn of mind determined yesterday afternoon to wreath his intellectual brow with a laurel of everlasting fame. Taking a thermometer along he proceeded to the 'sweat-box," unlocked the door and passed in. Driving a nail in the wall he hung it up, and seating himself on the floor he began to watch the results. Slowly it began to rise, until it got to 75 degrees.

Then it jumped to 00, in such a short time that the scientifically inclined rooster went out to get a drink. Faster and faster it rose, until it reached 100 degrees. Young man having returned pulled off his coat, vest and hat, and comparing the heat to a nameless place, where brimstone can bo purchased cheap and on long credit, hauled out a notebook and began to chalk down a few notes, as he continued to drink from a black bottle stowed away in his pocket As the chamois leaps from crag to crag, so did that infernal thermometer crawl up to 125. Nothing but the old Adam in that youth could have kept him confined within those walls, but like Casablanca on the burning deck, so stood ho determined to stick until the last moment Up, up, np it went to 127 128 12D, and just as it was landing on the verge of 180, ho concluded not to be cremated, and started to depart. Bat the dratted thing was too quick for him.

It got to 150, a terrific explosion followed, and that scientific youth stood not upon the order of his going, but went at once, shooting out of the door like a sky-rocket, and landing upon the top of his head. The family doo-tor thinks he will be able to be out in a mouth or two. DEMONIIREUN'S CAVE. Something More Concerning Ita History and Its Occupant by a Correspondent. To the Editor of the Banner: As an old citizen I desire to add what little history I know concerning Demon-breun's Cave, in addition to that which has already appeared in your paper.

Sweeping around from the St. Lawrence, by way of the great lakes, and up the Mississippi from its mouth, two grand cordons of French posts mot at Kaskaskia, in 1G83, a place known afterward by the English as "Cusky." Tho French then controlled all North America, north of the lakes and west of the Alleghany Mountains, except Mexico. Kaskaskia, the principal base of operations, teeming with wild grandeur unprecedented in the world's history, under the auspices of Perre do Leon, was settled by brave and hardy pioneers from the ihterior of France, mainly for the purpose of trapping and trafficking with the many tribes of aborigines for peltry, to be shipped home by way of New Orleans. From Cusky, in the heart of the new world, radiating in every direction, expeditions explored all th Mississippi water shed. They went np the beautiful river to Pittsburg; up the Arkansas, Missouri and Mississippi, to their sources, and up the Tennessee to its very head, among the blue, mountains, when tho Indians cried "unaka," meaning the "white men" Lbeyond tho mountains east, was near at hand.

Beside these, many smaller streams had been exhausted of profitable trade in a period of eighty years toil, and it was left for Captain Timothy Demonbreun, or Timothy of the Brown Mountain, to explore in 17(i0, for the first time, the Shauanau, now called the Cumberland, first discovering the (French lick, or bulphur spring, and establishing his headquarters in a now noted cave, below tho clover bottom, itself famous for being once the private race track of General Jackson, and near tho mouth of Mill Creek on the south side of the Cumberland. For twenty odd years, including the period of the American revolution, this traffic was kept up by Demonbreun, although during much of this period he was commander of all the posts in the Upper Mississippi Valley, and aided materially in the cause of the colonial independence, by keeping the wild Indians in check, being fully in sympathy with Francs, his mother country, as allies of the colonies against his life-long enemy, the British nation. In 1790 Demonbreun brought his young wife of a second marriage to the cave, where "William Demonbreun, well-known among the earlier settlers, was born, but they soon returned to Cusky, and commenced at once to make preparations for a permanent settlement here, and in 1791 they returned, and built a log cab-bin near Broad Street, where he lived, and near which he died in 182G, at the age of 96 years. His children and grandchildren herded the cattle on "the plains" south of the city, and helped keep up tho calf lot in common for all the settlement, between College and Market, north of the Square. The cave is almost inaccessible except by water, and difficult to enter, due to the steepness of the precipice; but it is believed its complete exploration would be quite interesting.

Tho trappers always ascended to it by ladder, then taking the ladder up with them, to secure greater eafety in their slumbers. G. THE MICHIGAN TE0TS. Second Day at East Saginaw. Detroit, Jane 23.

The second day of the races at East Saginaw increased over yesterday's in attendance, but does Dot come np to the anticipations of the Association. Tho three races to-day were quite exciting, less time being lost in starting than yesterday. The race, 1,500 premium, six entries, five starters, was won by Richard Penniston's ltichard in three straight heats, Lady Tnrpin second. Time 2:31, 2:31. In the 2:23 race, for a premium of six starters, the race was won by Brother Jonathan, Morris Fred Hooper third.

Time 2:25., 2:26, 2:241. In the pacing race, premium of 800, open for all, four entries, three starters, it was a close contest between Sleepy George and Granger, the former winning in three straight heats. Time 2:20, 2:22. Mes. Evi Joyoe, of Oswego, New York, has sued Albert Qnonce fer 1,000 for attempting to kiss her.

It Meets In llie Federal Court Room and BlBCUssetj tlie Teeth. The Tennessee Dental Association met yesterday morning in the Federal Court room, Dr. L. V. Ohishoim, of Tuscaloosa, in the chair, and Dr.

R. R. Freeman acting as Secretary pro. tern. The Association was opened by prayer from Dr.

Morgan. At roll call tho following members answered to their names: E. S. Chisholm, W. H.

Morgan, J. C. Ross, S. J. Cobb, W.

L. Dismukes, L. G. Noel, G. C.

Sandusky, T. J. Holder, A. E. Herman, J.

Y. Crawford, li. R. Freeman, and Prof. J.

Taffc, of Cincinnati. The name of Henry W. Morgan, M. was proposed and a committee of three appointed on membership who reported, and recommended the acceptance, and he was unanimously elected a member, i The Executive Committee was called upon for a report. Dr.

Morgan, the Chairman, reported that the committee had secured the room they occupied from E. R. Campbell, the Federal Court Clerk, without charge. The report was accepted. The Treasurer's report was callei for, but that official was granted further time.

The chair called for the reading of "The Extraction of Teeth," by Dr. S. P. Cutter, of Memphis. Dr.

Cutter being absent the paper was presented and read before tne Association. The report alluded at length to the ex traction of teeth, the successive methods introduced, the use of anaesthetics and the general results arising from their use. ne paper was discussed by Drs, Morgan, Cobb, Herman, Ross and Prof. Taft The Association then adjourned tor din ner at 12:30 until 2:30. aftesnoon session.

The report of Dr. Ross, the Treasurer, was read and accepted. The discussion of Dr. uutter paper was again taken up and lengthy remarks made by Drs. Taft, Ross, E.

S. Chisholm, Cobb, Morgan, Sandusky, and Crawford. Dr. Taft said the dentist was in duty bound to save an aching tooth if it was within his power. Teeth should be conserved and preserved, as far as his resources would permit mm.

There wero a certain class of patients who cared nothing for their teeth, and would have nothing done to save them, and when they demanded their extraction, no argument or persuasion could avail. In all such cases the dentist should extract it, though in all cases the first consideration should be "can it be saved?" Dr. Ross heartily agreed with Dr. Taft Dr. E.

S. Chisholm said he saved or attempted to save all that wero not dead, but devitalized teeth he did not attempt to save. Dr. Cobb said, as a profession, they must do all they could before extraction. Dr.

Morgan's paper on "Dentistry in Tennessee" was then called for, and read. It was quite lenijthy and very interesting. The next paper on tho programme was one from Dr. L. C.

Chisholm on "Exposed Pulp," which was discussed by Drs. E. Chisholm, Ross, Cobb, Morgan and Taft. The Association adjourned at v. ai.

to meet again this morning at 'J o'clock. Drs. Acreoof Clarksville, Beech of Franklin, White of Knoxville, Shapard of Columbia, and R. Russell of this city, were present in the evening. A MERCHANTS POST STAKE.

A Prospective "Derby Day" for Onr Fall Race Meeting. "We learn that several enterprising citi zens contemplate, through the co-operation of local merchants and citizens generally, which we trust will not be withheld, to get up, by loc.il contributions, a special purse for the fall meeting, of such substantial value and respectability as will insure the attendance of some of the most famous American racers during the meeting. This will, in turn, insure the attendance of an increasd number of visitiner strangers from all parts ot the country, the benefits of which locally to our own city as wen as to our horse breeding and turf interest, are too apparent to require specification. When Louisville inaugurated her magnificent new race the enterprising public spirit of her merchants was manifest not only in the splendid equipments and appointments of their race course, but in the unusually liberal purses offered for competition. There was shrewd, business judgment in this, as the sequel munificently proved.

The attendance was greater than the most sanguine friends of the enterprise anticipated far exceeding the accommodations that had been provided in the stands for spectators. The money value of this unusual presence was comfortably felt, not only at the ticket offices and gates, but'in the city generally at the hotels, theaters, stores, by the street car and hack lines, and even by the barbers, booi-blacks and horse holders. There was "millions in It." to all classes and conditions. So might it be here with the exercise of a like public spirit on the part of the citizens, to con tribute to the attractions by helping the Horse Association to ofiVr tempting purses. One great purse, and one great day, we at least should have.

Heretofore the Association has not called upon the merchants and others for any aid in this way. But they are anxious this fall to do something extra in the way of getting up a fine meet ing one in keeping with the metro politan pretensions ot jNashviile, and worthy the center of the blue-grass region and stock raising area of Middle Tennessee. Perhaps the brilliant success of the Louisville meeting, and the consciousness of a competitive rivalry we cannot afford to despise so close to us, has stimulated this feeling of local pride with the Nashville Association and its well-wishers. Directly and indirectly there 13 no estimating the manifold local advantages to result from a good meeting and a large attendance, filling of the hotels and enlivening the together with the small change and fractional currency that is attracted along with the crowds and spent in our midst. In the fall we shall reasonably expect a revival of trade in all branches.

Let us begin to be enterprising in advance, and show our confidence in Nashville's future by backing it for a few dollars in public enterprises that will be sure to pay. While the Association may be benefited, it will be nothing like the benefit which the city will leceive by its success. Let the Nashville merchants, then, emulate the Louis villians, arid come down handsomely and insure us a fine meeting, and at least one big day to brag about. SUFFERINU MISSOURI. The People In the Devastated Districts Ask for Relief.

We have received the following circular, with the request that it be published; To the people of our sister States: This circular is addressed, in the fullest trust and confidence, that they will liberally respond to our earnest appeal for aid. A terrible scourgo, in the shape of myriads of locusts, affecting all industries, has visited the fairest portion of our State. This, following the drouth of last summer, which almost destroyed the corn crop, and the unusually severe winter which killed our wheat, has reduced to absolute want many of our most industrious and hitherto successful farmers. of our people are without the necessaries of life, with no means with which to purchase the same. "We want corn for seed, and for food, flour, meat, meal, and provisions of any and all kinds.

In tho time of our prosperity we have never refused to respond to the call of tho destitute and distressed, and now, in the day of our extremity, we ask that we be not permitted to suffer in the midst of plenty. At a meeting of the people in Lexington, the undersigned were appointed a committee to solicit contributions of seed corn (which to bo of practical benefit, must come soon), and provisions of any kind. All donations sent to the address of R. M. Sparks, Laxington, Missouri, will be appreciated by a grateful peoplo and properly distributed.

There is millions in it, though it is dirt cheap. In Paris contractors pay some-tbinc like 8125.000 per annum for the scraping of tho streets. The filth nnd garbage of the city, instead of being allowed to remain, breatbine pestilence in and about its limits, is carted out daily and is made to enrich soils outside of that mo-tropoUs for miles and miles. It is there regarded as tho best fertilizers, It is used to great advantage. The soils are so much enriched as to produce largely.

But how is it in -wasteful America? Most of the cities in this country cart their garbage into the rivers, the waters of which flow down, growing fouler and fouler until they reach the salty depths of the ocean. We do this to an almost unlimited extent in Nashville. It has here been regarded as the best moans of disposing of it. That which is not dumped into tho river is thrown out into tile there to rot and to emit odors which can but breed disease if not death in tho neighborhood. Now should they choose, and should they have the enterprise, the Grangers between Nashville and Murfreesboro could have this garbage and manure, daily thrown away, to enrich their farms.

General Freight Agent of the Nashvile, Chattanooga and St. Louis Rail way, he said that he would be willing to transport garbage and manures in coal cars to points on the Chattanooga Road for $3 per load of eight tons each. He says an incline might be made by which the ears could be loaded, and as tho cars were already made for emptying coal, there would be no difficulty in getting rid of it out upon the road.

The cars went back to the mines empty, and if they could be made to beneht the farmer and pay for tne fuel burned in the locomotives drawing the they wero willing to accommodate the Patrons of Husbandry and thus assist them in growing abundant crops. bliould any movement be made looking to tho transportation of garbage away from the city for the purpose named, we doubt not tho municipal authorities would willingly accede to the wishes of the farmers and dump the offal of the city into those cars instead of in the river. MARKETING BY RAIL. A Lengthy Stride Taken In that Direction. The Bannee's advocacy of the establishment of market trains on the various railroads loading into Nashville has not only met with favor by the farmers but the railway managements.

So large a quantity of vegetables have been shipped north to induce of the belief that by the next season a regular market train can be run. on fast time, between Nashville and Louisville, at a profit to the producer as well as the road. Davidson County has shipped north this season any amount of mustard, kail, let tuce, beans, peas and otner early vegetabjes. The farmers and market gardeners can easily raise ton-fold tho amount produced this season, and wo doubt not but they will find just as ready sale for it all. Tho soil of Davidson and other adjoining counties may be made to pan out, proportion, almost as many greenbacks as the now famous Black Hills will yield tho hardy mmer cold untold quantity.

Just now we are engaged in selling out our potato crop. From three to four car loads of potatoes have so far been sent north daily, with a prospective increase to sis and ten cars. Many farmers and card eners assert their intention to dispose of the potato crop early, instead of waiting until next fall, and to either raise a second crop or to sow grasses oh. the same ground. Thus will they be enabled at any rate to mako two crops wbere ordinarily only one is brought to maturity during the season.

A gardener in Edgefield found it profitable last year to raise two potato crops, using tho more diminutive potatoes of the new crop for seed, liiere were not so many potatoes in the second crop, but they were quite large. On making this discovery a Minnesota farmer, tnen on an mspoctive tour, decided at once to remove to Tennessee and to engage in the raising of two crops a year instead ot one in tliat Estate, far away up in the North.

The pools last night ranged from 2o to Sw. A good many of what may bo denominated social pools were sold. These pools seemed much in favor inasmuch as they seemed more likely to give satisfaction.

It Flays Sad Havoc with the Ciraln In Southern Kentucky. A violent storm prevailed between Ear linoton and Henderson, Kentucky, Tues day, in which whole fields were literally deluged with water, fences and grain and trees wero laid low.

Two bridges between Petersburg and Earlington, on the Southeastern washed out ot line; another, but small bridge being entirely washed away. In consequence of the storm and the washing out of the bridges three trainB were temporarily stopped.
