AYER’S
Cherry Pectoral.
No other complaints are so insidious in their
attack as those affecting the throat and lungs:
none so trifled with by the majority of suffer
ers. The ordinary cough or cold, resulting
pei haps from a trifling or unconscious ex
posure, is often hut the beginning of a fatal
sickness. AvEn’s Cherry Pectoral has
well proven its efficacy in a forty years' fight
with throat and lung diseases, and should be
taken in all cases without delay.
A Terrible Cough Cured.
“In 18571 took a severe cold, which affected
my lungs, x had a terrible cough, and passed
night after night without sleep. The doctors
gave me up. 1 tried Ayer’s CriERKY Pec
toral, which relieved my lungs, induced
sleep, and a horded iue tlie rest necessary
for the recovery of my strength. By the
continued use of the Pectoral a perma
nent cure was effected. I am now 62 years
old, hale and hearty, and am satisfied your
Cherry Pectoral saved me.
Horace FAiunROTHER.”
Rockingham, Vt., July 15,1S82.
Croup. — A Mother’s Tribute.
“While in the country last whiter my little
boy, three years old, was taken ill with croup;
it seemed as if he would die from strangu
lation. One of the family suggested the use
of Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral, a bottle of
which was always kept in the house. This
was tried in small and frequent doses, and
to our delight ill less than half ail hour the
little patient was breathing easily. The doc
tor said that the Cherry Pectoral had
saved my darling’s life. Can you wonder at
our gratitude’.’ Sincerely yours,
Hits. Emma Gedney.”
159 West 128th St., New York, May 1C, 1882.
“ I have used Ayer's Cherry Pectoral
ill my family for several years, and do not
hesitate to pronounce it the most effectual
remedy for coughs and colds wo have ever
tried. A. -J. CRAKE.”
Lake Crystal, Minn., March 13, 1882.
“ I suffered for eight years from Bronchitis,
and after trying many remedies with no suc
cess, T was cured by the use of Ayer’s Cher
ry Pectoral. " Joseph Walden.”
Byhalia, Miss., April 5,1882.
“ I cannot say enough in praise of Ayer’s
Cherry Pectoral, believing as 1 do that
but for its use I should long since have died
from lung troubles. K. BragdOX.”
Palestine, Texas, April 22, 1882.
No case of an affection of the throat or
lungs exists which cannot be greatly relieved
by the use of Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral,
and it will aheays cure when the disease is
not already beyond the control of medicine.

Mr. and Mrs. Pitts are said to be almost
heart-broken at the marriage of their
daughter to Frederick Douglass. They
were abolitionists, preached social equality
and entertained Douglass In their house as
a guest and equal. Tho daughter thought
they were sincere, adopted their opinions,
became a kiud of private secretary to
Frederick Douglass and finally married
him. The parents were fools and hypo
crites, tho daughter is a victim to their
folly, and Fred Douglass is an apostate to
his own race.

A great flood Is expected at Cincinnati,

the news has come of the deluge. It is
truly a deluge. Hundreds of families have

places with ice 15 to 20 feet high. The wa
ter is over large portions of Cincinnati and
Wheeling, West Virginia. Pittsburg at
night on the 6tb, was in a state of semi
darkness and thousands were driven from
their homes. In Cincinnati at 9 p. m. on
the 7th, the water was recorded at 60ft, 8%

hour, with thousands of houses invaded
by the water. All the rivers are booming
and many places are submerged in Ohio,

been but little loss of life. In all the ac

respect and reverence, the sole charter of
the Federal government. Time was, when
the inhibitions, whether express or im
plied, of that sacred instrument effectually
restrained Presidents, Congress, and
Courts. The simple absence of express
grant of power curbed the projects of leg
islation. Since those palmy days, radical
licentiousness lias well nigh obliterated
constitutional restraint, and even rever
ence for law itself. Expediency has usurp
ed the rule of right, and Puritanism be
come The sole judge of expediency.
“A frequent recurrence to fundamental
principles is absolutely necessary to the
preservation of free government.” So
spoke a majority or the earlier State con
stitutions. In those days men were jeal
ous of their rights, and vigilant in their
defence. Ordaioirg the Federal Govern
ment to represent these peoples in their
foreign relations and general interests
only, whilst local police and internal ad
ministration Wore reserved to the States,
they declared that this general agent
should havo no power but what was
granted in and by the constitution itself.
The attempt by congress to regulate one
domestic relation load to secession, blood
and outlawry. Their effort to regulate an
other domestic relation i3 applauded. The
sacred charter is as aiient on one as the
other. Tho one is as gross a usurpation
as the other. Whence, then, tnis differ
ence? Why, wo liked slavery and abhor
polygamy.' Revere the sacred instrument
when it protects our likes; away with it
whan it obstructs our prejudices! It is
so,
“We compound for sins we are irdined to,
By damning those we have no mind to,”
which is very unmanly, not to say pueriie.
Gov. Brown not only showed the Ed
munds Polygamy Act, was without con
stitutional warrant, but that it is directly
a violation of half dozen precepts of the
constitution, which have been deemed the
surest safeguards of personal liberty, from
the days or Magna Charta. Why do not
these noisy critics, answer his arguments?
Grave Senators could not do it.
“Gov. Brown’s plan,” of extirpating
polygamy is harped on with prurient wit.
He submitted no plan at all. In rebuke of
that Puritanism, which would trample
upon the sanctity .of constitutional provis
ion, in order to correct the sins of other
people, whilst utterly neglecting to mend
their own, he made a suggestion. That is
all. Recognizing the family as the politi
cal unit and the marriage relation as the
mudsill of society iu Saxon civilization, he
called tiie attention of Yankee Pharisees to
tho connubial filth, reeking under their
own roof-trees, and accessible to their re
formatory zeal without sacrifice of consti
tutional duty. The suggestion of reform
ing Utah by introducing a colony of fifty
thousand New England Yankees, was a
sarcasm, too bald to be misunderstood.
Take tiie beam out of thine own eye. That
is the argument. Neglect of home sins,
for which you ate responsible, is not aton
ed by meddling with abuses abroad, for
which you are not responsible. The Sena
tor's suggestion of Missionary remedy, so
far from deserving sneers, is but an avow
al of the truth, that immortalized Roger
Williams. Official perjury and artillery
are not hgitimato means for the propaga
tion of Christian morality. Far different
was the precept and example of the Mas-
COXGKESSIONAL.
Mr. Morrison, chairman of the Ways
and Means committee, has been proceed
ing with great caution in the preparation
of the reform tariff bill. It is said it will
suggest a horizontal reduction of about
20 per cent. Let him have time. The bill,
we doubt not, will come out all right.
The House on the first instant, was engaged
on ihe Fitz John Porter bill and the long delay
and cost of time and money it occasioned, was
brought to a close so far as the House is concern
ed. The bill was passed by a vote of yeas 1S4;
nays 78.
Representative Hammond’s bill to amend the
Constitution as to ’.lie offices and duties of the
President and Vice President of the United
States, provides for the election of the Presi
dent and three Vice-Presidents, each chosen for
the same number of years. The first Vice-Pres
ident shall be President of the Senate, and the
Second or Third Vice-President shall occupy
that position iu case of the rerno /at from office
of the President of the United States. In case
of the removal of the President the office is to
be held by the first, second or third Yice-ITesi-
dent in order, and when onlv the Vice-President
of the United States shall exercise the office of
President, the Senate shall elect a President
pro tempore, and Congress mar by law provide
for a successor of the third Vice-President when
removed from the Presidential Chair.

John Porter relief bill has been referred to
Senate Committee on Military affairs. The
Mexican land titles bill was discussed in
tho Senate. Thero was some discussion in
the HouS”, on the best plan to prevent the
pleuropneumonia disease among cattle.
It was thought best to obtain the co-ope
ration of States where it existed, request
ing a State to pay one-half of the expense
ot eradicating it. Tho Houso adjourned
without concluding the discussion.
Congressional.—The Senate on the 6th,
was engaged in discussing the Mexican
land grant titles bill and adjourned with
out reaching a conclusion.
Tho House was engaged on the pleuro
pneumonia bill. Nearly ail the speeches
made were in opposition to the bill, and in
its present shape it ought to be defeated.
But we do not say that some measure to
Aeek the spread of the disease should not
be adopted. We incline tothe opinion that
it is best to let each State take care of its
own cattle and prescribe its own remedies.

Defeat of Jttaker Pasha.
London accounts state that Baker Pasha
when advancing from Suakirn to some
point not mentioned met with a disastrous
defeat. He lost 2000 of the 3590 men under
his command, and several Krupp and Gat-

occurred near Tohar, which place lie was
probably aiming to relieve. He retreated
with tho remainder of his forces to Sauk-

Tribute to Major Crump.—A commit

Geo. T. Barnes, L. A. Picquet, J. J. Dough

made their report. It is a handsome and
touching testimonial to Major Crump's
character as a 6oldier, a citizen, and a
friend. Brave and chivalrous he never
shrank from duty in war; in peace ho was
faithful to every obligation as a man and
citizen. We regret our Inability to make
room for th9 beautiful portraiture of his
character and services set forth in the re
port of the committee. We regret this the

Mr. Editor :
I sec from your last issue that tho old
colored woman who cooked the supper on
the occasion of La Fayette’s visit to your
city in 1825 has just died. If my memory
is not at fault, that is a mistake. Peter
Gillette, a Frenchman, and cashier of the
old Darien Bank at the time, was then liv
ing in Milledgeville, and claimed the hon
or of entertaining the grand old French
patriot at his house, and unless the old
negro spoken of was cook for Gillette, she
certainly did not cook for La Fayette.
I will here toll you of a very mortifying
episode (to Mrs. Gillette at least) that took
place on that memorable occasion. Gil
lette had written to tly? General beforo lie
got to Georgia, to share the hospitalities
of his houso with other distinguished
guests. Gillette had sent to Savannah and
bought a very fine set of bid room furni
ture, had the nicest room fitted up in mag
nificent style, a bed whereon never man
had lain. Well, the illustrious Frenchman
caruo with his retinue of attendants. A
committee with tho Governor at their
head, rnet them outside tiie corporate lim
its of tiie city, and gave them a grand re
ception of welcome to the then capital of
Georgia, after which, Gillette took the old
man to ids house, no doubt with a pride
that filled every heart and especially a
Frenchman’s. That night,Milledgeville and
all tho surrounding country, and from ad
joining counties turned out to do honor to
the Iriend of American liberty, and show
to the world, arid France particularly, that
they had not forgotten the voluntary serv
ice of tho Marquis in our struggle for lib
erty from tiie British yoke. Well, every
thing passed off cheerful as a marriage
bell, till a late hour, when one of La Fay
ette’s attendants, worn out with continu
al travel, and also the occasion not being
a novel one to him, betook liimseir to Gil
lette’s fot rest. On Ids ai rival, Mrs. Gil
lette being at the capitlo, her vallet de
chambre conducted the man to the Gener
al’s room thinking it was the old hero him
self, but mirabilo dictu, on her arrival
home, found tho servant m tho bed intend
ed for LaFavette. Oh, horror of horrors!
she at once went to her husband and itn-
fornied him of the miserable mistake.
Gillette told his wife to hush up, say noth
ing more about it, that the bed could be
rearranged, and the people would never
be the wiser . Not so, for madam rumor,
then, as now, soon spread the matter,
greatly to the discomfort of Mrs. Gillette,
to the amusement of all the ladies of Miil-
edgevllle. I would like to tell of the histo
ry of many things in and about your city;

Sparta, Ga., February 5.—Editors Tel
egraph a Messenger:—It was tny distin
guished pleasure to be present at the gpld-
en wedding of Bishop Pierce last night,
at the residence of his son, Lovick Pierce
Jr. It was beyond all question the grand
est affair I have ever witnessed. The Bish
op had present, besides his bride of half a
oentury, all his children, sons-in-law and
daughters-in-law, his grandchildren and
great-grandchildren—in all amounting to
about forty-five—not one absent. This
was most remarkable. Then there were
present a great number of his friends and
relatives living in the county. From
abroad a large number, of whom we may
enumerate, Dr. W. H. Potter, editor of the
Wesleyan Christian Advocate, Dr. O. P.
Fitzgerald, editor of the Nashville Chris
tian Advocate, Col. It. D. Walker, of Savan
nah, and his wife who is an own cousin of
the Bishop, his brothers, Rev. James L.
Pierce, of Oxford, and Rev. Thomas F.
Pierce, of Austel, Ga., Robert L. Pierce,
his nephew from Augusta, Rev. Warren
A. Candler, of Augusta, Ferdinand Phinl-
zy, of Athens, and others whom I cannot
now remember. At the appointed time
tho Bishop and Mrs ; Pierce came out and
stood under an arch of flowers and ever
greens, with the dates “1834—18S4” inter
woven. Dr. Potter made a very appropri
ate speech, addressed to them in behalf of
the persons present. He reviewed briefly
the Bishop’s long and useful life and his
earnest labors for tho past half century In
the church and tho State and paid a hand
some tribute to his faithful wife, who had
stood beside lilru and encouraged him in
all his struggles, and rejoiced with him in
his triumphs.
lie was followed in an interesting speech
by Dr. Fitzgerald, of Nashville.
The Bishop responded in a most felici
tous speech of about half an hour, the
most interesting and eloquent I ever listen
ed to. It was a brief review of his labors
for tho past fifty years, and a triumphant
vindication of his choice in the companion
ot liis life. He had been sent to Savannah
a young man, and required, on account of
some difficulty between some members of
the church, to keep bachelor’s hall in the
par-onage, rather than board with either
of the contending factions, ilo tried this
for one year and determined to get some
one to keep house for him. Ho found his
present wife, who was, like himself, poor
it this world’s goods. For lie had deter
mined never to marry any woman who
had more than he had. He did not intend
to have it thrown in his teeth in after years
by any woman that she had supported
him, or by her money lifted him up. He
courted her and they married at tho end of
the year. Ha had eleven dollars and she
had live dollars, anil with this they started
life in Charleston, S C. lie had found her
a good and safe counsellor and fiiend in
all the past years. They started poor and
had held their own wonderfully. Yet they
had never wanted. They had raised and
educated their children, all of whom were
present. He paid "a beautiful tribute to
his children for their kindness and devo
tion to their parents. He wound up the
whole by adopting the old custom, and sa
luted his bride with a kiss. After this fol
lowed tiie salutations of the large con
course present. We were then invited to
the table, where a most elegant spread had
been prepared by Lovick Pierce, the Bish
op’s only son. 1 need not say that It was
enjoyed. We then returned to the parlors,
and spent an hour or two in social conver
sation. The whole was closed by family
prayer, devotions lead by Dr. Potter. All
united in singing two versos of an old and
familiar hymn-being “Here I’ll Raise my
Ebenezer.” The crowd then dispersed.
This morning an artist took the family
group, representing the Bishop and liis en
tire family. Rarely, if ever, was there
such a meeting, and happy were those of
us who were allowed to be present.

Ap Important Statement from General
e/uhal A. JKarlj.
At this time, when malice and ignorance
are slandering The Louisiana State Lotte
ry Company, those who believe in justice
and fair play will read with interest the
following from tho pen of General Jubal A.
Early, whose veracity was never question
ed. Read wiiat he has to say:
“Mr. M. A. Dauphin, the President of The
Louisiana .State Lottery Company, re
sides in New Orleans, which nas been his
place of residence for many years; and lie
is universally esteemed as a gentleman of
high character. For tho correctness of
whatever he publishes in regard to the op
erations of the Lottery Company, I am
willing to vouch. The drawings of the
Lottery, semi-anual and monthly, are un
der the sole and exclusive control of Gen.
Beauregard and myself, the officials of the
Lottery Company having nothing to do
wi:h them, except to furnish u.s with the
requisite mateiials and facilities; and we
take especial care that the drawings are
published precisely as they take pl ace.
”1 may say here that there are many
people who cannot understand how It is
that, when they have bought five, ten, lif-
toen, or twenty tickets, they have drawn
nothing. It is only necessary to say that
or those who do buy tickets, there must
necessarily be a very great many who
draw nothing. It it were not so, no one
one would be fool enough to establish a
lottery. Where a man, by spending ten
dollars, stands a chance of drawing $15,000
$50,000, $20,000, and various other prizes of
smaller amounts: or by spending live dol
lars, can draw $75,000. S25.000, S10.000, arid
various other prizes down to S25, he must
not be surprised if he fails after taking
many chances. It is a matter of chance
or luck entirely.
“Gen. Beauregard and myself have had
ample opportunity to test the integrity or
The Louisiana State Lottery Company in
all of its dealings, and we are willing to
vouch for it. as we have done on repeated
occasions. If any one can satisfy us that
tne Company has acted fraudulently in
any of its dealing, we w ill dissolve our
connection with it very promptly, and tako
far more efficient measures to expose its
misdeeds than can be taken by irresponsi
ble anonymous newspaper correspondents.
•‘The Company, which numbers among
its stockholders some ot the most respect
able gentlemen of New Orleans, lias sense
enough to know that it can make a great
deal more money by conducting its opera
tions fairly and honestlj . than by a resort
to fraud. It has a firm financial basis to
stand on, and is therefore subject to the
hostility of other lottery companies which
have no capital.

Seeing a vast number of rails on the Keg

had made, and at what cost, be replied
40,000 and they cost him $2u0. We then
asked him how much it would cost him
rating teams and hands at usual prices to
haul them out and put them up, lie replied
it would cost at least $300 more. Well
what is the value of your stock, cattle and
hogs? On that place mv cattle are worth
about $25.00 Are the cattle and hogs with
in two miles of your farm there worth
$500? I do not know but doubt if they are.
Then you pay $500 to fence out $155 worth
of stock? Well says Mr. M. a 6tock law
is what we need, every man should be re
quired to keep up his own stock, and save
the heavy expense and hard labor to the
farmer, and this g:eat inroad upon ins
timber. This is the substance of an inter

known as one of Wa^hinjfton county s
most successful farmers, and who doubt
less reflects on the stock law question, the
views or many of the progressive larmers
of the county.

When I say cure I do not mean merely to stop them
for a time and then have them return again, I mean &
radical cure. I have made the disease of FITS, EPI
LEPSY OR PALLING SICKNESS a lito-long study.
I warrant my remedy to cure the worst cases. Because
others have failed is no reason for not now receiving a
cure. Send at once for a Treatise and a Free Bottle of
my infallible remedy. Give Express and Postoffice. It
costs you nothing fer a trial, and I will cure you.
