Bainbridge Democrat: “A gentleman repre
senting fifty families of upper Georgia pass
ed through here Monday iu search of a good
farming country. We turned him over to
Colonel I). McGill, satisfied that lie, if any
one, could point out the true merits of De
catur’s generous soil.”
Thoinasville Enterprise: “On Thursday
last good country bacon sold for five cents
per pound, lard for seven and syrup for
twenty cents per gallon. While these
prices to a certain degree attest the scarcity
of money, they in a much greater degree
indicate the abundance of home made sup
plies. Provisions must be had, regardless
of the volume of money in a country, and
the prices for the same are therefore almost
entirely governed by the laws of supply and
demand. While low prices for provisions
are not directly or immediately advantageous
to the producer, they are eminently so to
the cousumer, aud no people can long
feel the effects of hard times when
supplies are abundant and cheap.
If our farmers will press forward in
their efforts to produce an abundance of
provisions for home supplies and to spare,
the country wiil inevitably soon be in a
better condition. T hat money is scarcer in
the country than formerly there is no
doubt, but then there is much less indebt
edness, and consequently much less real hard
times. It matters but little if a man has no
money when he is free from debt aud in
possession of ample home supplies. Much
better this than formerly, when at selling
time he was possessed of a large sum for
his cotton, which was inadequate to the
liquidation of his debts and the purchase
of his next year’s supplies. This latter
was the condition of most of our farmers a
few years since. Now, as a class, they arc
free from debt, and although selling their
produce at low figures are certainly iu a
better condition.
McDuffie Journal - “Last Saturday
Mr. James V. Reese, of Wrightsboro’,
brought to Thomson cue of the most re
markable monstrosities we have ever seen.
It is a calf, about one month old,well grown
and apparently strong and healthy for an
animal so young. But the head is the cu
riosity. The upper jaw is split, or rather
divided in the shape of a horse shoe nearly
up to the eyes, the sides forming a kind of
fork, and extending on each side aud far
below the under jaw. To each prong of
this fork there is a single but natural and
well-developed nostril. There is no bone in
the middle of this fork, but instead there is
a ball or hump of soft muscles, covered
with long hair, beyond which the lower
jaw extends several inches, exposing
the teeth and a considerable portion of
the tongue. The eyes are set squarely in
the side of the head, and can scarcely be
seen by one standing immediately in front
of the animal. Having no upper jaw, the
calf, of course, is unable to chew its food,
but subsists entirely on milk fed from a
bottle, of whicli it is very fond and drinks
heartily. It is utterly impossible to describe
this animal. It must be seen before one
can receive a correct impression of its
monstrous deformity. It does not resemble
anything we ever saw or dreamed of, aDd
if we were to meet it iu the road, we would
certaiuly. make double : quiek time to the
rear. If Mr. Reese can succeed in raising
this animal to maturity, and we see no
reason why he may not, some showman or
agent for a museum will gladly pay an
enormous price for it.”
First Congressional District—The
Unexpired Term.
Fort Valley, Ga., January 10.—
Editor Morning News: The late Hon.
Julian llartridgc having closed his earth
ly -career on the 8th instant, and being
one of Georgia’s most gifted aud patriotic
statesmen, It behooves the First Congres
sional district to cast about and find a
proper successor for him in the national
councils. Not only is the First district in
terested In this selection, but the whole
State of Geargia. Whilst we do not propose
to dictate to our friends of the First whom
fciey should select, yet we feel that they
could do no better for themselves and select
a man more universally popular throughout
the entire State than the Hon. Josiah L.
Warren. During the reign of yellow fever
m Savannah in 1S7G he refused to leave,
but remained and ministered to the wants
of the needy aud helpless until he
was himself stricken down, and after he re
covered sufficiently, was again found in the
ranks of those ministering angels who did so
much to relieve the distress of those unable
to help themselves.
While serving the county of Chatham in
the Legislature, he was a “power 1r the
land,” was placed on the most important
committees, and entrusted with matters of
great importance that required the super
vision oi a statesman, as well as financier.
He is one of the few who can adapt himself
to any class of his fellow citizens, from the
aristocrat to the plebian, and one who, if
elected to Congress, will never, by word or
deed, do aught to detract from the name
and fame of the hero of Bunker Hill,
Fort Valley.

as well to a representative of the State as
to a clerk of the State, the one being

being removable at his pleasure. Mr.
Hill's contract with the rolling mill com

ceedings, but Mr. Mill's own evidence
shows that he was retained and appeared
before the Governor in the matter before
leiraj proceedings were instituted in con
nection with the State's liability as lo the
Northeastern bonds. Mr. IJill is an emi

Washington, January 17.—In the Senate,
Mr. Morgan, of Alabama, presented the
credentials of Hon. George S. Houston,
elected United States Senator from Ala
bama for six years from the 4tn of March,
1879, to succeed Hon. Geo. E. Spencer. His
credentials were read and placed on file.
Mr. Saulsbury submitted a resolution call
ing upon the Secretary of the Treasury for
information as to the amount of commis
sions or other compensation paid bankers,
brokers, etc., for services in negotiating the
sale of United States bonds or securities
from 1S62 to the present time; the amount
paid any such persons for services in refund
ing any bouds of the United States, and
whether interest has beeu paid on called
bonds sold to redeem such bonds; how much
double interest was paid on each class of
bonds aud how much money allowed to re
main on deposit in national banks designa
ted as depositors.
Mr. Morrill, of Vermont, suggested that
it be referred to the Committee on Finance.
Mr. Saulsbury would not consent to the
reference.
Mr. Morrill objected to a further consid
eration to-day, aud it was laid ou the table.
Mr. Allison, from the Committee on Fi
nance, reported adversely on the Senate bill
to authorize the killing of fur, seal and oth
er fur-bearing animals, within the limits of
Alaska Territory. Indefinitely postponed.
This is the bill introduced by Mr. Cameron,
of Wisconsin, on the 34th of January last,
and it authorizes the Secretary of the Treas
ury to declare the Territory of Alaska, ex
cept the islands of St. George and St. Paul,
opeu to the killing of fur-bearing animals,
persons engagiug in such killing to pay to
the government ten per cent, of the ap
praised value of the skins taken.
The Senate excused Messrs. Wallace, of
Pennsylvania, and Bayard from further ser
vice ou the Teller Special Committee, and
Messrs. McDonald and Randolph were ap
pointed to fill the vacancies. Iu the discus
sion upon the • question of granting
of Messrs. Wallace aud

Charleston, and the Senator from Delaware
could not go, as he was in Texas.
The patent laws bill was again discussed.
The Senate several times found itself
without a quorum, aud adjourned till Mon
day.
The House was engaged a considerable
portion of to-day on the bill for the payment
of $30,000 to the trustees of the Protestant
Episcopal Seminary and High School iu Vir
ginia for reut of the building duriug the

THE MINISTERIAL SITUATION IN FRANCE.
Paris, January 17.—The Ministerial
statement has generally produced an unfa
vorable impressiou.
The Journal Iks I/ebats regrets that the
government did not employ more animated
and cordial language. It says: “In read
ing their declaration, oue might believe that
nothing had happened in France for a long
time; whereas, only a week ago the republic
was established.”
The Republique Franraise says: “The gov
ernment must rely onlv upon the signi
ficance of their acts and the frankness of
their attitude, as the declaration will be of
no assistance to them.”
The DLt Xevieme Siede says: “The govern
ment spoke for twenty minutes without
pronouncing a single word that they ought
to have spoken. The language of the
ministry is not a new programme, but a
simple exposition of the situation, or a re
port of parliamentary proceedings.”
The Figaro says : “The ministerial state
ment is a political testament, which will not
prevent the fall of the Cabinet.”
The Constitution,' the Gaulois and the
Solid praise thq government programme.
The ltapp>l, the Vtulaire, the Marseillaise and
the Revolution Erancau* vehemently attack
the statement and characterize it as void of
purpose, the fruit of madness and other
like expressions.
The question of the Ministerial crisis is
discussed everywhere, and the general im-
f iression prevails that the Cabinet can scarce-
y remain in office after the unfavorable re
ception of their programme in the Cham
bers. The Siecle, indeed, expresses the opin
ion that the Ministry cannot survive- more
than twenty-four hours.
In some quarters, it is said that a crisis
will ensue immediately; that MacMahon will
summon Gambetta; and, in the event of
his refusing to form a Cabinet, MacMahon
will resign. On the other hand, it is be
lieved by some that if Gambetta shall re
fuse to form a Cabinet, MacMahon will re
quest M. Dufoure to form a new Ministry.
It is pointed out, however, in parliamen
tary circles that, according to strict parlia
mentary rules, there can be no other Presi
dent of the Council than Gambetta, since
he, at the present moment, practically holds
the post. Iu spite, however, of the lan
guage of the Republican journals, and the
generally prevailing impression, there is a
somewhat strong belief in well-informed
circles that the Ministry will obtain a ma
jority in the Chamber of Deputies after the
debate, which begins on Monday.

Washington Jaunary 15.—There are no
end of “moYwnents” at present: some
“booming” tb^more, and some “booming”
the less. The ^movement” is beginning to
be as much
paigu,” oroth
clature. It ha# peculiarly a Presidential
significance, aud may be defined by say
ing that some aspirant in that direction is
putting himself forward into the public gaze
by one means or die other. And a good many
are putting themselves forward. There’s the
Hendricks movement, which is the last one
at the present writing which has made a
spurt.” Mr. Hendricks dropped iu on us
very quietly the other day. As the tele
graph told you, he imparted to the News
correspondent the information that in se
lecting the next Democratic standard bearer
the South would go with the West. He
keeps repeating this to every body. Of
course, when he says that the South will go
with the Wext, hddfceans the South and West
will nominate Hendricks. His friends are
also reviving as a claim for him that at the
last National Democratic Convention the
first place on the 1880 ticket was pledged
him if he would yield consent tc Mr. Til-
den’s having the first place on the 1876
ticket. The Hendricks movement is now
being “boomed” pretty lively. Another
ruovemeut is the Tilden movement. This
movement has been making a quiet
“boom” for the past year and is
now getting louder. Mr. Tilden is off
setting Governor Hendricks by arguments
through Tilden papers that the Soutn “must
go with the East.” Tildeu also had the de
termination ta investigate the cipher dis
patches reached, thaih^might clear bimself
therefrom and shove along the movement.
The Bayard movement seems to be a little
flat at preseut, but shows sigus of reawaken
ing. Again, there’s the Thurman move
ment, which seems to get along right well
without any showing. How long it is to
continue nobody can tell. Senator Thurman
seems to keep his movement going by attend
ing strictly to business. He has the South
in his mind by his able championing of her
before the Teller Outrageous Committee
whenever he can get a chance. Speaker
Iiandull also has a little movement Presi-
dentially inclined, which though it has not
been very animated, shows incipient signs
of coming out. He prefers, however, to
work in a more quiet way than the rest. All
these gentlemen are casting sheep’s eyes at
the South. The South will have a good
deal to say as to the next nominee.
On the other side of the fence there are
no end of movements. The oue which at
preseut seems to be doing the most “boom
ing” is the Grant. The New York Herald
A DEMOCRATIC CONGRESSMAN,
Philadelphia, January 17.—The Gover
nor’s proclamation announcing the names
of Congressmen elected in the late general
election, includes the name of Mr. Klotz,
Democrat, in the Eleventh district, which
has been disputed hitherto by Mr. Albright,
Republican.
Edmonds’ Electoral Trap.
UrUltjeport Farmer.
The easy passage of the Edmunds
electoral bill through the Senate has been
a matter of wonder to many persons.
They cannot understand its support by a
sufficient number of Democratic Sena
tors to pass it easily. They fail to see
how Democrats coulu support a measure
which is so palpably aimed with hostile
intent at the Democratic party. Seeing
plainly that the wily Vermont Senator's
intention is to deprive a Democratic
Congress of the power over the electoral
count, which has been held aud exercised
since 1860 by Republican Congresses,
and to definitely transfer all electoral
contests to State tribunals to be erected
in the close Northern States by Republi
can Legislatures—notably in the Demo
cratic States of New Y'ork, New Jersey
and Connecticut—they greatly wonder
at the Democratic Sopatorial support re
ceived bv the Edmunds bill, and are not
surprised at its unanimous Republican
indorsement. Y'et there is no good rea
son for wonder! It is the misfortune of
the Democratic party to be in part rep
resented in the Senate by men who, be
ing honest and straightforward them
selves, resolutely rejusv *e}ipve the
Republican Senators otherwise. These
blind Democrats were “taken in and
done for” by Edmunds Co. in
1876 77; and. unlike ordinary fools, re
fusing to learn by experience, have sub
mitted to the same operation in connec
tion with the Edmunds bill. Believing
themselves in the broad principles of
State rights, mey suv ia tf,e bjll as
sertion of the right of u State to settle
any contest over its electoral votes, and
rushed to its support heedless of the pit-
faU Involved in the bill’s provi
sion that fctatP Legislatures may
erect tribunals for the auttiunent
of elt^pral contests. Of the few
Northern States which, with the aid of
the South, are expected to elect a Demo
cratic President in 18*0. three—New
York, New Jersey and Connecticut—
bave Republican Legislatures. The sub-
atance of the Edmunds bill is, therefore,
as follows: “Congress shall have no ju
risdiction over electoral contests, and in
three Northern Democratic States, elec
toral commissions may be raised by their
Republican Legislatures to give the votes
of those States to the Republican Presi
dential candidate. ’’ Add to this, the fail
ure of the bill to assert that the fraudu
lent Vice President has no right to count
the electoral votes, and the Republi
can attempt to lodge tbe almost
exclusive control of the army in General
Sherman’s hands, and you have an out
line of the Republican scheme for the
fraudulent capture of the Presidency in
18:0. Electoral Commissions in North
ern Democratic States to send fraudu
lent electoral votes to Washington, the
fraudulent Vice President to count
them before a Congress helplessly bound
by the Edmunds bill, and the Federal
army to sustain the iniquitous scheme—
such is the plan of action which has
been plainly determined upon by the
Republican leaders. And we regret to
say that there are Democrats in Con
gress. able, broadminded men, who wil]
never see the trap until they have fallen
into it.
Two Gibus Drowned.—At New
Brunswick, N. J., Sunday evening,three
girls, between twelve and fourteen years
of age, ventured upon the ice covering
the canal. They fell through an air hole,
and two of them, the daughter of Chris
topher Mitchell and the daughter of Ja
cob Elder, were drowned. The other
rfsaved her life by clinging to a cake
of ice for several minutes until she was
rescued.
Gratifying a Morbid Curiosity.—
Pieces of the rope with which Hunter

An ingenious speculator made “a nice

drunk or drugged.
has John Russell Young, of its staff, always
with Grant. He cables back whenever the
ruffian sneezes, but omits all mention of
the drunks. The Herald is only pay
ing its correspondent half salary. The
rest of the money that he is fast
making comes from the old ring who
are working Grant up again. It is also
gossiped tliat the same odorous gang is
chipping iu to help the Herald pay its
heavy telegraph tolls that are the necessary
accompaniment of the large quantity of
rot that comes over the wires to it about
Grant. There are sigus of a falling off in
the Grant “movement” despite all this. A
good man}’ Republicans, seeing the kind
of crowd that is so prominent in the move
ment, are Wecomiug imbued somewhat with
the idea that to “choose Grant would be
rather a retrograde movement which will
not exactly chime in with progressive
times.” Next iu importance, Radically, is
the Sherman movement. There is a good
deal of system and a little caution withal in
John’s hunt. He is getting himself herald
ed all over the country as the only
genuine originator and accomplisher
—if a word may be coined—of
resumption, aud therefore deserves
everything at his party’s hands. He is
using systematically all prestige that can be
had from his connection with resumption
and the refunding of the national debt to
advance John. This is creating a very
pretty little fight among other Republicans,
i who have movements for themselves or are
interested in movements for others. They
accuse John of prostituting his office to
personal ends, Evarts, the same that is
uow Secretary of State, has a littla
movement all of his own. He wants to be
the Republican standard bearer, and from
all Indications will have to want without
even the chance of getting\ip a decent sized
movement. Blaine could hardly be put
down at present as a man with a movement
since his recent farcical failure as a bloody
6hirt champion. He has .not given up as
pirations though, and will before the com-
vention convenes get together sufficient
strength to make himself a disturber.
Edmunds is trying to put the
best of his two unusually large feet forward,
and is meeting with some little success.
His movement is not yet fully'wound up.
Conkling is also aroused despite his
declaration for a combined effort on
Graut, and is wutohmg, There
will be plenty more men on both sides that
will put themselves forward ere many
months have passed. There is a sufficient
number of movements, of a verity, but
noue of them may boom loud enough
mn long enough to accomplish that for
which they are designed.
The resolution oi Edmunds the fo^, de
claring the thirteenth, rourteenth aiid fif
teenth amendments to the Constitution as
in force, and authorizing a provision for their
enforcement has been made the subject of a
Democratic Seuatorial caucus; and a com
mittee has been appointed to determine how
the Democrats of the Senate will act toward
it. The committee has not yet met. If the
views of prominent Democrats can be
taken as an indication as to what will be
done, it would appear for a certainty that
tbe resolution ir pressed will be adopted
with an addendum that the amendments
mentioned shall be equally enforced through
out the length and breadth of the land. The
Democrats know that the reason for offering
the resolution was «uiy to puce the Demo
cratic party on record in the matter. A
Democrat is not usually very backward in
going on record. He will go on record,
though in such a manner as to give but little
or noUhauoe lor uuncoiuueiomu high mind
ed Republican. If Edmunds presses his reso
lution it will not meet a'ny great opposition
on the Democratic side of the Senate, though
some such amendment as that already men
tioned will be tacked on to it.
Marshal left last night for
Atlanta, his headquarters. He has been
here about a week for instructions .as to
certain affairs of* his offiee. - His coming
put to rest all rumors of his impending re
moval. Y/Len bp fi*it v.aiuv, he^.e his
presence gave rise to a 1 good many special
dispatches to Northern journals that the tight
over the Georgia marshalship was going
to be had over again. His visit was purely
one of business with the Department of Jus
tice. Some of his accounts needed hi6 pres
ence personally for adjustment. These were
satisfactorily goue through. The result of
his visit Will 4‘6G bp a je^oru* in the Mar
shal’s and District Attorney’s offices, which
will bring about a considerable saving to
the government. A United States Marshal
has a large number of processes to
serve, all of which cost something:
a^d sometimes the serving of a
process costs a' pretty neat little sura. In
many cases the Marshal is called on to
execute writs having for their object only
malice; for, there being no ground for
them, when the trial comes on the case
falls through. Instead of executing immedi
ately such processes the Marshal, in the fu
ture, yhen mere is anything that Bhdws they
are born of malice alone and are purely triv
ial, will consult with the District, Attorney, j
The District Attorney will first examine
into the cases as far as be is able, and if no
good reason for executing it is ap
parent the process will not be served.
This will not apply 2 however, to cases
bro n .£jht tC tue .uar&ual’s attention by in
ternal revenue or other United Suites offi
cers. The Marshal will Immediately serve
such processes as called upon by them. The
reform to be Instituted, as outlined above,
will save much expense to the government,
and do away with many nonsensical prose-
eutiuns.
Senator Kernan, of New York, tells a
jretty good story on himself. The Senator
s a hard money Democrat. During the last
campaign in Massachusetts he was called
upon to make a speech for the Democratic
'Jubematorial nominee in one of the wilds
of Massachusetts. “I responded,” says Mr.
Kernan, “fuid made what X thought \o be a
very good speech. 1 starred out against
the Republican party, and after detailing the
rascalities of that party aud eulogizing the
Democratic, I came down to the money
question. My audience seemed to be in per
fect sympathy with me. On the financial
portion of my speech I more than exerted
myself ; and after finishing my argument for
hard money stopped for aoout half a min
ute. In that half minute I congratulated
myself on making one of the best stump
speeches of my life. I was more
than pleased. To clinch my last ar
gument, I pulled a ten dollar gold
jfiece out of one pocket and a ten dol-
up before the crowd and asked: “Now
which had you rather have ? Who would
not prefer the gold to the paper V* I paused
for a reply. There was silence for a second
or two anil then a voice in the corner yelled
out: “Misther Kieman ! Misther Kiernan !
as we have naythur we will take
ayther!” “That” continued Mr. Kernan,
“spoiled the best stump speech I ever
made. The house came down when that
Irishman yelled that at me. and forgot, in
the uproar, all about my effort, and my
good arguments in favor of “hard money.”

The Vacancy in the First Congres
sional District.
Atlanta Constitution.
We are glad to see that a correspon
dent of the Savannah Morning News
has suggested Colonel W. T. Thompson,
the veteran editor of that paper, as the
proper person to till out the unexpirefi
term of the lamented Hartridge. The
correspondent anticipates us in this mat
ter, but we are ^lad of the opportunity
to supplement his suggestion by giving
it our hearty indorsement. &o one
in Georgia, no matter what his
position, opportunities or abilities,
has done more for the Demo
cratic party than Colonel Thomp
son. He was foremost among those who,
in the dark days of reconstruction, re
kindled the fires of patriotism and De
mocracy in the bosoms of the people, and
he led the attack upon those who were
oppressing our citizens and plundering
the State. He lias given tho best years
of his life in defending his State and sec
tion against the prejudice and slander of
the fanatics of the North, and throughout
his long editorial career lie lias never
wavered in his devotion to Southern in
terests and Southern rights.
We urge the name of Col. Thompson
upon the people of tlie First district, not
because he is ambitious of political pre
ferment, but because his nomination
would come somewhat iu the shape of a
tribute to the consistency and unfalter
ing courage with which he has upheld
the principles of the true Jeffersonian
Democracy. The term of service is so
short that it is not possible the position
can be coveted by those who have politi
cal aspirations, and if Col. Thompson
should consent to the use of his name, it
is scarcely within the range of probability
that any one could be found to antago
nize him. His election would be in some
sort a recognition on the part of the peo
ple of the arduous and unremitting la
bors of a long life now drawing towards
its close—a life wholly and unselfishly
spent in an effort to inculcate political
honesty and consistency, aud to defend
Ills section and his fellow-citizens from
attacks of all sorts, no matter from what
quarter the} r came. In thus honoring
Colonel Thompson, the First district
would do far more honor to itself and to
the cause of Democracy. We do not
know’ that the veteran editor could be
induced to lay aside the pen that has
been used so long, so constantly and so
consistently in behalf of truth and right;
but we do know that the character of his
services for more than a quarter of a cen
tury entitles him to any political honor
to which he might aspire.

The First District. — The State
mourned’when Julian Hartridge fell.
But, however much that fall is lamented,
something must lie done to keep Georgia
represented in Congress. The Governor,
as it was his duty, has ordered an elec
tion to fill the vacancy occasioned by Mr.
Hartridge’s death. The district has
chosen the Hon. John C. Nicholls
as a fit and worthy representative
for the full term; but for the
unexpired term, as yet no choice
has been made. We have no right to
interfere in the affairs of this district,
but some service rendered to it in the
past may warrant a suggestion. Of
many men in that district, qualified and
willing to serve it in the councils of the
nation, there is one man pre-eminently
deserving and scantily rewarded—in
proportion to his merits. We allude to
Col. Wm. T. Thompson, the editor of
the Savannah Morning Ne\\ For years
and years Col. Thompson, bearing his
pen as proudly and as heroically as ever
gallant soldier l>ore a sword, has fought
the good fight of Democracy and of lib
erty; and to him the whole people
of the Slate owe, in a large degree, the
blessed privilege of local self govetument
that they new enjoy. To such men,
when the battle is over, some of the re
wards of victory should come. Without
presuming to dictate, let us hope that the
people of the First district v r iii recom
pense a faithfui servant, will pay honor
to a fearless political warrior, and do
honor to themselves by asking Colonel
Thompson to fill the vacancy the re
presentation of that district created by
the untimely death of the lamented Hart
ridge.

After looking carefully over tlie field we
have cotr.e to the conclusion that the
Uemocratie party of the First district
could not do a more graceful act than to
nominate Col. W. T. Thompson, the able
editor of the Savannah News, for the
unexpired term of the late Hon. Julian
Hartridge. The election of Col. Thomp
son would be a just recognition of his
services as a Democratic editor, and a fit
ting tribute to pay him in the closing
years of a life devoted to the advocacy of
the rights of our people. There is no
man in the district, nay. the whole State,
that has done more solid, hard work for
the Democracy than Colonel Wm. T.
Thompson, (Major Jones), of Savannah
The time has now arrived for the people
of the district to honor him, and we
earnestly hope that the Democracy will
nominate him by acclamation as the sue
Cessor, in the present Congress, of the
lamented Hartridge. The Gazette is for
him, and we hope to see all the papers in
the district on the same line. It is but

house, in 1S40, the Major gracefully and
hospitably addressed him thus while the

with admiration akin to enthusiasm :
Mr. Dickens, we are glad to welcome
you. We know yon and admire yog,
and wilt recion It a privilege to be al
lowed to extend to you the hospitalities

especial host I beg that you will com

with a frigid stare. “When 1 need you,
landlord,’’ he said, pointing to the door,
“I will ring.” The next moment the
distinguished author was half way out
of the window, the Major's hoots under
his coat tail and numerous Kentuckians
holding the Major's coat tail, for the
Major viewed insults from a strictly

A KENTUCKY ROMANCE.
Wliy Phil (lodge D©*erted Hi* Bride
the Day After the Wedding.
Cincinnati Enquirer.
Ten years ago, in Lewis county,
Kentucky, a young lawyer named Phil
Hodge married Miss Addie Sillet, amid
flowers, music and hearty congratula
tions of friends. At early* dawn Hodge
left the house, and in pas>ing out he met
a servant of his wife’s father, to whom he
said: “Tell your master I am gone for
ever.” The new made father-in-law,
upon receiving this message, hurried to
his daughter's room, where, to his
amazement, he found her still in her
wedding robes, with her hair dishevelled
and veil tom off, and in a state of great
excitement. A severe spell of fever fol
lowed, but never, in her wildest de
lirium, did she betray the cause of her
agony, and thus it remained a theme of
conjecture ever since. To a friend the
other day she told the cause. Here is
her story:
“Lon’Follett and I have been raised
together. I had received most marked
attention from him, but never dreamed
of marrying him, for he had a mother
and sister depending upon him for a
livelihood. Phil H<*lge, whom T Lad
known a few years, courted me. I ac
cepted him, aud my admiration for him
tempted me to believe I loved him. The
night of our w r edding, Lon aud I were
sitting a little apart from the crowd.
Our conversation was only of ourselves,
and I confess I then felt Lon loved me.
and he was more of my happiness than l
had ever dreamed. Phil Hodge over
heard a few words, and saw our earnest
manner. When he came to my room he
found me dressed still as I was when I
left the parlor, and, showing his sur
prise, asked me what was the matter
with me, to which I answered as indif
ferently as possible, ‘Nothing.’ We ex
changed several commonplace remarks,
after which he asked me quite harshly,
‘Addie, did Lon Follett ever tell you he
loved you?’ I answered, ‘No.’ ‘What
was your conversation to night?’ His
eyes were upon me; I dared not tell
aught but the truth; they seemed to
pierce me through. I told the whole
truth, and when I had finished, he said
with coldness, calmness and stubborn
resolution, ‘Addie, you love Lon Follet ;
he shall marry you. We will never
meet-again.’ 1 begged him on my knees
not to leave me, buf it w r as of no avail.
When the dawn came he kissed me good-
by, and with a ‘God bless you,’ passed
out from me forever. My feelings were
indescribable, the room was horrible in
its darkness, my mind lost its reasoning
powers, and thus I passed maDy w’eeks.
Through a mutual friend I heard of him
often, of his wanderings, desolate life,
and death upon the frontier. Well have
our blighted lives paid the penalty of a
false step. When Lou heard of his
death he came immediately to see me. I
refused to see him. Then he wrote me a
long letter, telling of his love, his never
forgetting me an hour these lung years,
and I have consented to marry him; but
w r e will not meet till our wedding night

Small pox is now working terrible
havoc in Ceara, Brazil, where, according
to the report cf the Captain of the steam
toUip city of Kio Janeiro, the people
were at last accounts dying of it with
such rapidity and in such great numbers
that “it was impossible to make coffins
to sqpply the demand, The people dug
ditches and tumbled into thorn the un
shrouded corpses, eight or ten at a time.”

DR. C. McLANE’S
CELEBRATED
LIVER PILLS
FOR THE CURE OF
Hepatitis, or Liver Complaint,
DYSPEPSIA AND SICK HEADACHE.
Symptoms of a Diseased Liver.
1 JAIN in the right side, under the
edge of the ribs, increases on pres
sure ; sometimes the pain is in the left
side; the patient is rarely able to lie
on the left side; sometimes the pain
is felt under the shoulder blade, and
it frequently extends to the top of the
shoulder, and is sometimes mistaken
for rheumatism in the arm. The stom
ach is affected vith loss of appetite
and sickness; the bowels in general
are costive, sometimes alternative with
lax; the head is troubled with pain,
accompanied with a dull, heavy sen
sation in the back part. There is gen
erally a considerable loss of memory,
accompanied with a painful sensation
of having left undone something which
ought to have been done. A slight,
dry cough is sometimes an attendant.
The patient complains of weariness
and debility; he is easily startled, his
feet are cold nr burning, and he com-
plains of a prickly sensation of the
skin ; his spirits are low; and although
he is satisfied that exercise would be
beneficial to him, yet he can scarcely
summon up fortitude epougn to try it.
In fact, he distrusts every remedy.
Several of the above symptoms attend
the disease, but cases have occurred
w here few of them existed, yet exam-
ination of the body, after death, has
shown the liver to have been exten
sively deranged.

Stabtlixg a Dtuv.-p.-u liooM.—One of
the mast eminent pianists in London,
having suffered much from the irrepres
sible conversation of drawing room audi
ences, devised the other day a means of
giving a little lesson to the town. He ar
ranged with his violin, violoncello, and
the rest, that the music should come to
a sudden stop in the midst of the loude^
passage of the piece, at a given signal
from him. It was done.
The bawling aud shouting voices were
left, in the twinkling of an eye, high and
dry, as it were, upon a shore of silence.
Joyous, clear, and distinct above them
all rose a voice from the foremost seats,
the voice of Lady—but no, torture shall
not drag her name from nje. * And these
words were ringing upon the startled air
“We always fry ours in lard.”—London
World.

AGUE AND FEVER.
Dr. C. McLaxe’s Liver Pills, in
cases of Ague axd Fever, when
taken with Quinine, are productive of
the most happy results. No better
cathartic can be used, preparatory to,
or after taking Quinine. We would
advise all who are afflicted with this
disease to give them a. fair trial.
For all bilious derangements, and
as a simple purgative, they are un
equaled.
BEWA8E OF IWITATIOVS.
The genuine are never sugar coated.
Every box has a red wax seal on the
fid, with the impression Dr. McLane’s
Liver Pills.
The genuine McLane’s Liver Pills
bear the signatures of C. McLank and
Fleming Bros, on the wrappers.
Insist upon having the genuine Dr.
C. McLane’s Liver Pills, prepared by
Fleming Bros., of Pittsburgh, Pa., the
market being full of imitations of the
name McLane, spelled differently bat
same pronunciation.
