Parnell is not coming to America. President Hayes lias saved one half his salary, one halt being $100,000. Business failures in the United States were less in 1880 than any year since 1868. Mr. Harris, of the “Constitution,” is evi dently unfamiliar with tho French lan guage. Some very handsome new sleeping cars have been placed on the Georgia Rail road. _ Last Sunday Mary Anderson, the actress, was confirmed in the Roman Catholic faith. In Washington City. Judge Hiram Warner, lit-' Nestor of the Georgia bar, Is lying very ill in Atlanta, at this writing—Friday. A medical expert says out of ’those vne- clnnated,statistics show that only one per son in 178 cateiics tho small pox. If these (loixls continue Georgia will need a race or snipe built higher from the ground. Tho average snipe head in two wades. over his Orange groves in Florida have advanced 50 per cent in value in one year. The de mand for them is great both by the North ern people and foreigners. It is probable Sarah Bernhardt will go to Cuba freui the United States. Henry E. Abbey, Bernhardt’s manager has received several very large offers from Havanna. Vennor, the Canadian prophet, says that the South will be visited by heavy rains in tho forepart of March, is there no way to appoaso the appetite of this man for the horrible? _ The Telegraph & Messenger appeared in a bran new suit out am 1 outlast Wednes day. It Isa pleasure to us to sec our old and excellent neighbor prospering, and so sprightly too. _ Many of tho leading railroads of the country are putting reclining chairs in their cars, whicli many prefet to sleeping cars. There is no extra charge for the re clining chairs. _ _ Is woman’s highest sphere of duty at tho cradle or at the ballot box? is the ques tion agitating tho public mind. Barker says it depends upon which site can fill the better.—Boston Globe. Tho Constitution of Sunday says: 1,200,- 000 tags have been sent to the inspectors of fertilizers up to date. It is thought nearly a million and a lmir will be required. This represents $150,000 of cash to the State. Tho narrowing of the Mississippi river by Captain Eads’ jetties at the mouth lias greatly Increased the strain on the levees and increased the liability to breaks and overflow. The levees will have to be strengthened. Speculators in Chicago within a week have purchased 25,000,000 pounds short ribs, 24,000 barels of pork and 10,000 tierces of lard. They design producing an artifi cial scarcity in order to force the price up. The perfoiraanco last night at DeGivo’s demonstrates one fact clearly, and that Is the American people are the easiest people humbugged in the world. Those who failed to hear the Bernharilt here were not half as badly disappointed as thoso who heard her.—Constitution. W. A. Pledger the colored editor of the Athens Blade says tilt; Republican party suppresses tho voice of a million negro Republican voters by not according them a negro member of the Cabinet. After that they cannot complain of suppression on the part of their political opponents. Ludden A Bates, of Savannah, send us regularly the “Southern Musical Journal.” It la a choice proeent for a young lady, and always contains fine Music in addition to the Interesting Musical Miscellany. The terms are, $1,25 per annum—12 numbers. Send them a 3 cent stamp, and get a sam ple copy. Senator Blair of New Hampshire has in troduced an amendment to the constitu tion prohibiting the manufacture or intro duction Into tho United states or all alco- holle liquors except for medicinal purposes after the year 1890. The introduction into the Senate of this amendment croated a good deal of merriment. Covington and Americus had two sensa tional weddings last week very similar. In both casos the man who was on ids way to marry his girl found her tho wife of anoth er man. The Covington affair came near causing a duel, but the Americus man dis appointed, ooncludod to accept the situa tion and put out his hooks elsewhere. Mr. Hooks may catch as good a fish in other waters. m “I tot) my own skillet,” said Mr. Ste phens, and it has boon widely quoted. Mr. Stephens was not speaking personally, but politically, when he emphasized this im portant Idea; for no man in this State Is more unsol lish, or moro charitable where works follow faith, than Mr. Stephens Is. But if ever y man would “tote his own skillet,” and lot every other man’s skillet alone, both personally and politically, the world would be all the better for it. And these remarks will apply as well to women a« to men. FOR THE YOUNG PEOPLE. We will say a few things in this number about the little planet Mercury, the near est of all to the sun. If we are not mis taken, some astronomer has professed the discovery of another little planet between it and the sun, but as nothing more has been said upon the subject, it was perhaps, intended only for a little astronomical sen sation. Mercury is said to be thirty-seven mil Hons of miles from the sun. It is about 3,224 miles in diameter, and revolves around the solar king in 87 of our days But there Is a great difference of opinion on this point, for Schroetor, a very distin guished astronomer, thought its revolu tion was accomplished in about one-third of that time. He differed with Dr. Herschel, another very eminent astronomer, who saw no spots upon Mercury, while he asserted that he distinctly saw spots on Its surfaces. Schroeter alleged that he, also, saw moun tains on it 10 miles high. If he is correct, Mercury, if it Is considered to be a little one-horse world, beats our earth, ail hol low, In mountains, for Chimborazo, In South America, which is said to be the loftiest on this planet, Is less than 4 miles in height. Mercury Is not often seen, but it is some times visible to the eye without the assis taneeof telescopes. The writer has seen It without 6uch assistance. It presented a pale silver light and seemed to be about the size of a silver half a dollar. The rea son why It is so difficult to see it, Is it never rises or sets above one hour and fifty minutes before or after the sun. The lingering sunlight, so covers the planet as to obscure the light which it borrows from the sun. Astronomers put its heat at seven times as great as that of the globe wHlch wo inhabit. Hence, if we could ex plore it in person, prudence would dictate to us not to do so even in such wintry weather as we have rocently experienced. It increases and decreases like the moon, but is never perfectly full. If astronomers are right as to Its heat, it would not suit us for a winter climate. But how can as tronomers know that it is seven times bet tor than our earth. God may have sur rounded it with an atmosphere that makes it a delightful climate even for creatures constituted as the inhabitants of our world. Augusta, Ga., February, 1881. James M. Smythe, Esqb., My Dear Sir.—In reply to your’s I would state, that there are no Houses va cant in tho city, except whore clrcumstan- ses such as, locality, condition of premi ses, high rates Ac., have prevented occu pancy and these are few in number. Tho demand is chiefly for houses renting for $5 $3 $12 $15 or $20 per month. The stand ard of comfort is higher now than at any time since tho war, among the laboring classes. Those who desire good paying tenants must supply comfortable rooms or houses, with water Ac., convenient. The number of vacant lots within the city lim its is comparatively small. The want of facilities for reaching the business portions of the City, force the es tablishment of stores and shops in the sub urbs for the convenience ol those sections. The lots, now occupied as wood, lumber and coal yards are needed for other purpo ses, and other localities must soon be sought for such Depots.—Buildings will, in a very few years, bo upon every lot now vacant should the city continue to prosper it has during the past thirty-six months. Farms and residences, adja cent to the city and along the line of rail roads, are all occupied. The interest of this section requires the erection of a good Hotel at Summerville and at some suitable locality on the Georgia Railroad. In a few words, I have never seen a more prosper ous outlook for Augusta than now. •Tlio extraordinary weather has necessarily af fected to somo extent the financial condi tion of all classes. But tills stringency is only temporary, Respectfully, A. H. McLaws. THE NEW BIBLE-QUICK WORK. The new version of the New Testament, which has been so many years In course of translation, and which is unquestionably the most important literary enterprise this century has seen, is being waited for with curiosity and anxiety by hundreds of thousands. It is not generally known that a first edition of 500,000 copies has already been manufactured in England, and 100,000 copies are said to be already in New York City, not one of them permitted to be sold. They are awaiting a telegram from the authorities in England authorizing their Issue. The first copies can only be had at the extravagant price of $10 per copy. The Literary Revolution proposes fully to meet the demands which its army of friends are making upon it by doing probably tho quickest work in book-making which has ever yet been accomplished. Arrange ments have been fuUy made to put the en tire book into type inside pf 24 hours from the time a printed copy of tho English edi tion ean be procured, and within three days at least, 10,000 copies will be bound ready for delivery to waiting purchasers, and at least 5,000 wifi be manufactured every day thereafter, until the demand is met. It will be printed in large, beautiful type, neatly and strongly bound in cloth in a volume of about 500 pages, and sold at the nominal price of 30 cents. A fine edi tion in half Russia, gilt top, will be sold for 60 cents, and one in full Turkey morocco, gilt edges, for $1M. Of course, the popu iar demand will be enormous. Orders will be filled la the order in which they are re ceived, with remittance. American Book Exchange, New York,* — ' —f We have just received from the Mendels sohn Plano Co., New York, their new cata logues for 1881, giving a very full descrip tion ot their Pianos and Organs, and also their Manufactory, which is one of tho largest and most complete in the world, a description of which, and the process of manufacture of musical instruments of the highest order, will be found very inter esting. Their Pianos and Organs, besides being unanimously recommended for the highest honor of the great Centennial exhibition, are indorsed in the strongest possiblo terms by the greatest musical artists and high musical authorities now living, as well as the leading newspaper press of tho country. This company is destined to* occupy a high place as manufacturers of musical in struments, and from the character of its productions, and their honorable and fair manner of dealing, should secure the pa tronage of persona who desire reliable goods at factory prices. For further in formation, send stamp for catalogue of Pianos or Organs, as you may desire. 2t. THE CARD OF MESSRS J. S. BOWLES A CO. How natural it is to connect our ideas of the dutce domum with its trees and ilowers, the structure of the house and its contents. The man or woman whose heart is in the right place, however plain thoy may have been, wHl look back to it as the green spot of early joy and gladnoss; but if the means will admit of It would it not be well that the mind should dweU upon some fa vorite tiling like a well filled book case, or an easy chair, or other article of uphol stery that was pleasing to look at and en joy. When we enter the store of Messrs. J. L. Bowles A Co., and glance over his ex tensive and splendid stock we instinctly think of tho many homes that they could decorate so handsomely and usefully. We cannot specify. The card does that. Al though ho had been located here for only a short time his House is often crowded with visitors. No matter what may bo needed in ills line of business he has it. Mr. Bowles’ prompt and polite attention and low prices are tho sources of attraction. Call upon him and you will not fail to be pleased with both. GOVERNOR BROWN AS A SPEECH MAKER. We have read all tho speeches made by Senator Brown, since his entrance into the Senate. His speech on the Pension bill for Mexican veterans, was most excellent. His speech in favor of appropriating money to Improve the harbor of Savannah, was prac tical and to the point. His recent speech on giving homesteads to Indians and mak ing them citizens, is full of sound reason ing and good, honest, doctrine. When It comes to sound logic, good practical sense and judgement, and an honest and thorough consideration of the subject matter, Sena tor Brown is oqual to the best. With Jo seph E. Brown and Benj. H. Hill, as our Senators, Georgia can justly claim the aolest representation in the Senate of any State in the Union. In 1880,1688 vessels were wrecked north with their cargoes $341,635,000 of which $237,475,000 was British property. In 1879 1696 vessels wore wrecked. Petitions signed by 200,000 people in N. C. have been presented to the Legislature of that State in favor of prohibiting the sale of liquor. The pressuro is strong and it is thought tho Legislature will pass prohibition laws. Three hundred cities in the United States owe $66,000,000. The State debts aggre gate $25,000,000, Tho county debt is $220,- 000. There are 70,000 school districts and 6,- 000 towns and villages yet to hear from. In Georgia 4 cities owe $8,337,000 or $83.15 to each inhabitant. Paddy Ryan a prize fighter was arrest ed upon a requisition from the Governor of West Virginia, at Albany, N. Y., for lighting Joe Goss last summer In that State. The oflicor In charge went with him to his saloon to allow him to arrange some private business. A crowd collected and shut tho officer inside while Paddy got in a hack and drove away to parts unknown. For impurities of the blood, indigestion, dyspepsia, and diptherlc affections, noth ing equals tho Seven Springs Iron and Al um Mass, whicli is made from the pure minoral waters. It is also highly recom mended as a remedy for sick headache, which so frequently arises from a disorder ed stomach. It is made by Landrum A Litchfield Abingdon, Va.

Denver, Col m Feb. 15.—John W. Young, son of Brigham Young, was arrested to day by Instructions from the U. S. Marshal at Salt Lake City where be has been indict ed for bigamy. He gave bond In $2,000. He promised his first wife not |to practice po lygamy. She left him when he married his second. Gladstone.—A London paper says, Mr. Gladstone is in good spirits. Here Is how it was. To a question propounded by a lady to Mrs. Gladstone, the latter said, ho does not consider the troubles as a great crisis: “I hoar him every morning sing ing in his bath.” “He’s like a kettle then,” said her friend, “which slugs when full of hot water.” Political Fortunes.—President Hayes and Secretary Sherman expelled Chester A. Arthur and Alonzo B. Cornell, Republi cans, from the offices they filled in New York, alledging incompetency. Cornell Is now governor of New York, and on the 4th Starch next, Arthur, now Vice Preeldent, elect, will swear in Sherman as Senator from Ohio, while Hayes, sitting in the gal lery, will witness the scene as a private citizen. OUR NEIGHBORS. SPARTA. From the Ish maellte. Mr. J. M. Harris is slek. Mr. A. Grant, an old citizen is dead. The young fruit can be kept from injury, on very cold nights, by building fires in the orchards. The mumps are very prevalent in Han cock county. Wc ought to have a stock law through out the State. Mr. G. Gunby Jordan, formerly of Spar ta, is to be mqrried in Columbus, Feb. 24th, to Miss. Lizzie Curtis. The “Times A Planter,” of Friday, says, Mr. John L.

Mules sell high, labor plentiful,* and cows very poor. Gardening Is now in full blast. Guano here, guano thero, guano every where. 8ANDERSVILLR. From the Herald A Courier. Mr. Nathaniel Wicker died at his home near Jordan's Mills, on the 12th Inst. The roads in Washington county are so bad that drivers have to pull down fences and go through the Helds. Mrs. E O. Pace and Rev. T. J. Adams are improving in health. Washington Superior Court convenes 1st Monday in March. Washington county farmers are taking steps to have a county Fair. The Herald thinks farmers must raise their own supplies for starvation threat ens them. Wo clip these items from the Telegraph A Messenger. It is a singular fact, that nearly every railroad accident in this section during tho last three months has occurred on Sunday morning. The Augusta trains now make their reg ular trips, leaving the Macon depot on the Central railroad track and forming connec tion at Massey’s Mills. Frederick Paulding was arrested in Co lumbus for assault and battery on his stage manager and required to give bond for his appearance at the May term of tho Muscogee Court. It seems that Mr. Paul ding had engaged the manager for ten weeks but discharged him before the expi ration of the time, and out of this grew the difficulty. The timbers of the Augusta bridge, late ly swept away by the freshet, have brought up against the Brunswick bridge five miles down the river, and the pressure has caus ed that structure to bend out of line. Tho drift was being cut away yesterday, and doubtless ore tills tho troublo lias been overcome. There has been no interruption of travel on the road, EATONTON. From the Messenger. Mr. Edward Butler, died recently in At lanta, where he was under treatment for a tumor in Lis throat. Eatonton lias received, up to tho 19th inst.14,011 boles of cotton. Eatonton is to have a new depot and tlio Messenger is happy. The Presbyterians have services only two Sundays in tho month. Capt. Dan O’Sullivan says he brought twenty-live drummers to Eatonton one day last week. The Messenger speaks very highly of of the new law firm in this city, Messrs. DuBignon and Whitfield. CONGRESSIONAL. Ohio.—Ohio is the most remarkable State in the Union for Presidents and Presiden tial aspirants since the war ended. Hayes and Garfield, President and Presidentelect, John Sherman, Wm. Allen, Allen G. Thur man, George H. Pendleton, Salmon P. Chase, Benjamin Wade, Henry B. Payne, comprise the eminent array. Is it Possible That a remedy made of such common, simple plants as Hops, Buchu, Mhndrake, Dandelion, Ac., make so many and such marvelous and wonderful cures as Hop Bitters do? It must bo, for when old and young, rich and poor. Pastor and Doctor. Lawyer and Editor, all testify to having been cured by them, we must believe and doubt no lohger. See other column.—Post, A Western paper says, a lady In Waver- ly, has a furless oaL How was it? The cat went to sleep in an oven. The death of Hon.

SENATE. Washington, February 14th.—Tho Post Office appropriation bill passed after strik ing out the amendment giving subsidies to certain mail steamers. HOUSE. The biil passed making Chattanooga, Tenn., a port of delivery. Botli Houses adjourned in respect to the memory oi Hon. Fernando Wood. Washington, Feb. 15th.—In the House Mr. Blackburn occupied the chair in the absence of tho Speaker. The desk recent ly occupied by Hon. Fernando Wood was draped in black and decorated with a bas ket of handsome ilowers. The House com mittee on Ways and Means elected Repre sentative Tucker, of Virginia, chairman, to succeed Fernando Wood, deceased. SENATE. Washington, Feb. 16th.—Mr. Eaton, from the Committee on Foreign Relations, re ported the following: Hesolced by the Senate and Houxe of Hep resenlalivex. That the interests of the people or the United States of America and tho welfare and the security of their Govern ment are so involved in the subject of the construction of ship canals and ways for tho transportation of sca-golng vessels a- cross the Isthmus connecting North and Soutli America, that the Government of the United States, with the frankness which is due to all other people and governments, hereby asserts tiiat it will insist that its consent is a ueceesary condition precedent to the execution of any such project, anu also to the rules aud regulations under whicli other nations shall participate In the uso of such canal or other ways, either in peace or in war. Tabled temporarily and ordered printed, at the suggestion of Mr. Eaton. The House spent the day discussing the ! River and Harbor Bill, making foolish j speeches and offering puerile amendments which weie all voted down. SENATE. | Washington, Feb. 17th.—Tho Senate i spent all day discussing the Funding Bill. ; Mr. Platt and Mr. Logan, favored 3y, per i cent. Interest. Mr. Pugh, Mr. Brown, Mr. Call, Mr. Suulsbury and Mr. Cockrell, fa vored 3 per cent interest. Some amend ments were adopted, but the bill was lett without final action, in about the sume shape as it came from tlio House. HOUSE. Tlio River and Harbor bill after a long and tedious delta to was finally passed, yeas 162, nays 85. Mr. Field, of Massachusetts, from the committee on Elections, made a report in favor of Mr. Kitchens, the sitting member from tho 2d North Carolina district. Tho committee on Appropriations, have agreed upon a sundry civil appropriation bill. Among the items are $60,000 lo light tho Savannah liver between Savannah and tiie ocean. For the Fish Commission, $224,000. To purchase private papers of Confederate Generals Bragg and Polk, $26,000. Georgia Press. Macon will fence in the man on the mon ument, even if it takes $1,000 to do it. The Macon post-office delivered about 4,- 000 valentines on the 14th, and following days. Tho Georgia Chemical Work9 at Augusta are working day and night, and are ship ping 300 tons of guano daily. The Sunday Gazette, Atlanta, paid us a visit last week. We are pleased to ex' change with such a live paper. A good place for lawyers is Oglethorpe county. The Echo says tho lawyers fees in one caso in that county amount to $80,- 000. Atlanta had Bernhardt Wednesday eve ning, and the Constitution of that date told some unpleasant things about the great actress. The Herald thinks Macon is not worse than other cities of its size, if all the bad ness about was reported for the papers; and the Herald is al>out right. An Americus girl, according to the Ma con Herald, played a sad trick with one young man’s heart and hopes, by marry ing at Fort Valley, another young man of the same city. Pledger, colored Editor of the Biade, published at Athens, Ga., says there are too many loafing negroes about the towns, trying to get a living without working for it; and Pledger tells the truth. Tho papers say, Gov. Colquitt has offer ed a reward of $150, for a white man who Is a murderer, and $100, for a negro who is a murderer. Tho question arises, whether the scales of Justice shouldn’t swing even? An Augusta girl, well connected, ran away with an old lady, to Atlanta, last week. But a telegram from her brother, stopped the game, by landing the two in the officers of the law. She had to go back home. A large new warehouse, 1,600 bales of cotton, and a large amount of fertilizers were destroyed by lire, at Columbus, Ga., one day last week. Loss about $100,000: insurance two-thirds. All caused by a care less boy and a match. The Oconee river only gets about $2,500 in the appropriation for improving the riv ers and harbors. But Joe Brown says It ain’t right and has gone and introduced a bill to improve the appropriation. Joseph is not a dreamer, though ho may be named for one. The Telegraph A Messenger comes to us in a now and pretty dress. Mr. Jos. Clisby, the veteran editor, and pleasant gentleman, still holds the wheel. Behind him sit a staff of bright, energetic, useful men, who will make the good old paper sparkle and prosper. It’s well with the paper. Augusta is a real Quaker city, so to speak. It is so painfully still. No fires, no murders, and rarely an accident happens to stir the public pulse. Augusta is a model city. It is not going out of our way to speak well of that old city, for It is a liv ing presence, ever inviting to imitation. Mr. Grubb of the Darien Gazette, is wri ting up the best part of the fourth estate in Georgia. He ought to give us Capt. Am brose Dus', who published a paper at Louis ville, Ga., about the year 1800. The Cap tain is buried here, and we shall not be sat isfied until justice is done the old pioneer. Macon, Ga., is considerably exercised about a bull that has taken possession of a vacant lot near a school house, and makes the children’s lives a burden to them. Ma con has a clause in its city laws prohibi ting cows from roaming the streets, but notiiing is said about bulls Hence these steers. The city fathers are gravely de bating whether the bull can be abated on tho ground that he is a nuisance. Tlio Macon Telegraph says that near that city, in rear of Vineville, exists a state of affairs more horrible to contemplate than tho inner life of the so-called free lov ers of Oneida or tlio Mormons. Once or twice the matter lias been brought to the attention of the courts, but nothing has ever been done to root out the evil whicli the Telegraph declares is a blot up on the civilization of Bibb county. Planters In South-west Ga., according to the Albany Advertiser A News, arc unable to make arrangements with merchants, whereby they may run their farms anoth er year. And that paper says it will teach them a valuable lesson—viz, to make their own supplies. But gentleman how is a fellow that’s got notiiing to eat and no money to buy it with, going to make his own supplies? That’s an interesting co nundrum. Foreign News. London, Feb. 13.—A large anti-coercion meeting was held to-day in Hyde Park. The speakers declared that Gladstone was raised to power by the Radical working men and would be desposed by them. The meeting was orderly. A procession march ed through the streets with banners bear ing the Inscriptions ‘'Release Davitt,” “We want the jl&nd that boro us,” “Union and Victory." London, Feb. 14th The boat race be tween Hanlan and Laycock for tho cham pionship of England, the sportsman chal lenge cup End 1000 pounds, came off to-day. Hanlan gained an easy victory. London, Feb. 14.—In the House of Com mons, to-day, Sir Wm. Vernon Haroourt, Home Secretary, in reply to a question from the Home Rulers, said the power, to open letters in transit through the post, is reserved to the Home Secretary for exer cise in exceptional cases. He declined to answer whether he had used his authority recently. . Two regiments of cavalry, one regiment of Infantry, and one battery of artillery have been ordered to South Africa to rein force Sir G. P. Colley. The Emperor William’s speech to the German Reichstag expresses satisfaction at the financial condition of the Empire and states that the Empire is on friendly and amicable terms with ail foreign na tions.

A friend who doctored uselessly for years lias “swore off” from drugs. Without medicines Dr. Flagg’s Improved Liver and Pail has cured his Dyspepsia Head ache. Poor Appetite. Rhuematiam, Oostive- uees and General Debility. He is a new and well man. Tho North Georgia Citizen says that a Murray county youth, 16 years old, waa in Dalton on Friday last, who is doubtless the largest specimen of humanity in North Georgia for liis age. He is six feet two in ches high, weighs 175 pounds and wears No. 11 brogan boots split on top with a piece of leather inserted to inako them fit. That paper says: “If there is a county in this neck of the woods that can beat Mur ray’s boy wo would like to hear from it.” “Chatham,” the Atlanta correspondent of the Savannah News, thus alludes to a very worthy young man: The many old friends of Hon. Peterson Thwcatt will be glad to know that his con, Mr. Alexander H. Stephens Thweatt, will retain his position in the Union Ticket of fice here under the new agent, Mr. Archie Orme. Young Thweatt bears an honored name, nnd thus far in life he has borne It in a manner that reflects credit upon the “Sage of Liberty Hall.” Georgia needs more such sterling young men to perpetu ate her honored names. A new and interesting development has been made regarding the murder of Mr. Tinlev in Macon by the negro, Doc. Wilson. It seems that the only alleged witness to the killing was a brother of the murderer. Eugueue Wilson. On the night of the oc currence Eugene presented a knife, which he said was one carried by Tinlev; and which lie had drawn on his (Eugene’s! brother. On the handle of the knife were cut the letters W. A. H. It now turns out that these initials belong to the murderer, as he also claims tho name of \Y. A. Harri son and Harrison Wilson. Eugene’s anxi ety to make out a case of self-defense lias furnished a strong point against his broth er. ♦ ♦ * — (Springfield, (Mass.) Republican.) Edgai T. Page, Esq., Druggist, writes us from Chicopee, Fails, that Mr. Albert Gu enther, under Wilds Hotel has used that remarkable remedy, St. Jacobs Oil, for a se vere case of rheumatism and it cured him, as if by magic. He also used it with great success among his horses, in cases of sprains, sores, Ac., and it cures every time. Sarah Bernhardt was sick one nigiit in New Orleans and couldn’t fill the engage ment.

Berlin, February 16th—'The Emperor William in his opening speech to the Reich stag made a strong appeal in favor of tho passage of laws to benefit tiie working men. He said that was the best way to Stop socialist agitation. At a meeting of the Land League in Dub lin to-day, a letter from Mr. Parnell was read, in which he says: “After a full con sideration and consultation, I have decided it to be my duty to remain in Parliament and Ireland during the present crisis. If we are worthy of the occasion here, the American pooplo and the Irish nation in America will give us proportionate sympa thy and practical help, while the slight est flinching or reaction in Ireland will produee disastrous results in America. Tho expelled Irish members have almost unanimously decided to remain in their places in Parliament and offer every re sistance that the forms of tho House will permit to the Coercion and Arms bills. Hence, the eoup d'etat on the passage of the gagging resolution is most encouraging. I can also be of some use during the pas sage of the Land bill, In pointing out in what respect it may fall short of final set tlement. Two courses were given to the Irish party—either to retire in a body from the House and announce to their constit uents that nothing remained but sullen acquiescence, an appeal to force in op position to that forco which is used against us, or else a steadfast attempt to deepen and widen agitation by appealing to the great masses of England and Scotland a- gainst the terrttorlallsm and shopocracy which dominate Parliament. The last al ternative has many elements of hope. There Is nothing In the coercion bill to compel the Irish to modify their attitude of open or ganization and passive resistance. The Government, doubtless, rely much on tiie Intimidation produced by the first arrests, which would probably be widely scattered, but not numerous. The future of Ireland, probably for a generation, depends upon the tenant farmers remaining firm in their refusal to pay unjust rents and take evicted terms, ft they waver they will prove that they an only fit for slavery.” Dublin Is full of English detectives. The emigration from Ireland to America Is Im mense. The English have In Ireland 27,000 regu lar soldiers, comprising cavalry. Infantry, and artillery. They have nine flying col umns composed of about 1200 men each, two at Dublin, two In Curragh camp, one in Belfast, one in Cork, one in Fermoy, one in Limerick, and one In Athlone. The object of these columns is to more rapidly go to any point where disturbances may occur. The British military are exercising extra ordinary vigilance throughout Ireland.

Lamar, Rankin A Lamar, Gentlemen:— Knowing the component parts of Brewer’s Lung Restorer, I do not hesitate to say that in my be lief it Is the best remedy for Consumption, Bron- chltls and other throat and lnng diseases, ever discovered, and I take pleasure in recommend ing it to all who require such a medicine. It is unlike ail Consumption remedies I hare ever seen, in that it has no opiates; and an opiate in my opinion is the very worst thing that can be given to anv one whose system becomes ex hausted by Consumption. L. W. Hunt. Dr. A. R. Norton of Savannah, writes: “Your favor of 14th inst., is at hand. 1 assure you it affords me pleasure to give my approval and cer tificate in favor of your Lung Restorer, having fiven it a fair trial in a number of cases where t proved a success in the treatment of Bron chitis an<l Consumption. Five years ago my wife was far gone in Consumption, she had been con- lined to tier lied the greater part of the time, for six months with Hectic Fever every day and I had but little hopes of her recovery, but by {per severance with the blessings of God, her lungs are to-day perfectly sound. I gave her no other Lung Medicine than yonrs and a cough syrup I make. I have generally given them together as I have strung faith in both. I succeeded in cur ing a number of hopeless cases and regard Brew er's Lung Restorer as a very valuable prepara tion. Please send me per Express one gallon as I am nearly out. Mend bill of same aud I will remit promptly. Wishing you good success, remain. Yours Respectfully, A. R. Norton, M. Dl Cor. West Broad and Harris Sts., Savannah, Ga, Walter A.

I will ex pect to sell it rapidly In the lall and winter. Yours Trulv, Walter A. Taylor, Druggist, Atlanta, Ga. Macon, Ga. Messrs. Lamar, Rankin A Lamar, Gentlemen My little girl 8 years old has lieen for some time troubled with a severe cough, which physicians pronounced Bronchitis, she slept bnt little, coughing nearly tiie entire night and we had to get up very often to help her out. the cough waa so severe. ‘ At your solicitation 1 bought a bottle of Brewer's Lnng Restorer and she began to im prove at once and has been sleeping nicely ever since and I firmly lieUeve site will be permanent ly cured. I was very much frightened at her condition not long since, bnt am now rejoicing at her rapid recovery. Yours truly, Geo. F. Wins, Messrs. Lamar, Rankin A Lamar, Macon, Ga. Gentlemen:—A member of my family whom feared nadConsumption has been entirely cured by the use of Brewer’s Lung restorer. His con dition Was very alarming to all of us and wo did everything we could think of to benefit him. without success, until 1 got him a bottle of your Lung Restorer. He began to improve after the first dose and before he had taken two bottles was entirely cured, where I feared no cure was possible, ami I most cheerfully recommend it to all who have any affections of the Lungs. He was coughing andspitting all the time, so Inces santly that it prevented his sleeping at night and what little sleep he got did not refresh him in{>he least. Had bnt little appetite and sine* he began the use of Brewer's Lung Restorer has slept well and his appetite is very much better. 1 have never seen anything act so promptly and effect a care in so short a time. Wishing you great success and hoping the above may lnfln ence many to try Brewer's Lnng Restorer where they need a medicine to strengthen and restore the lungs to a healthy condition, I am Very Re spectfully, Mrs. E. J. Williams, 72 Washington Avenue, near Wesleyan Female College. We are yet to hear of any one who has not been benefltted by the use of Brewer’s Lung Restorer, bnt on the other hand all who try one bottle come back to get from three to six bottles, saying they had received great benefit from its use. We have a letter from a gentleman at Toombsboro, Ga., saying: “I have Lad lung Jts ease four or five years, using during the time many different remedies, but have derived more real benefit from this ene bottle of Brewer's Lung Restorer than from all the balance put to gether. I want six more tiottles. whicli please send at once, as I wish to get them by the time the bottle I now have gives out.” Signed H. H. Watkins. We are also in receipt or an order from L F. Brown who is president of the Brown Gin Com pany, New London, Conn., who says he has been told of the cures made by Brewer's Lnng Restor er, and requests us to send him six bottles. We S ropose to keep the fact before the people that rewer's Lung Restorer gives satisfaction in every instance. Lamar, Rankin A Lamar. Macon, Ga. Brewer's Lnng Restorer is for sale by E, A.

Bbadfield—Sir: My daughter has been suffering for many years with that dreadful affliction known as Female Disease, which has cost me many dollars, and notwithstanding I had the best medi cal attendance, could not find relief. I have used many other kinds of medicine with out any effect. I had just about given her up, was out of heart, but happened In the store of W. W. Eckler several weeks since and he knowing of my daughter’s affliction persuaded me to try a bottle of your Fe male Regulator. She began to improve at once. I was so delighted with its effect that I bought several more bottles. The price $1.50 a bottle, seemed to bs very high first, but I now think it the cheapest preparation on the globe, and knowing what I do about It, if to-day one of my family was suffering with that aw ful disease I would have it if it cost $50 a bottle, for I can truthfully say It cured my daughter sound and well, and myself and wife do nrost heartily recommend your Female Regulator to be just what it is recommended to be.
