Horse thieves are not acquitted on legal -quibbles out in Montana—at least not un til some days after the executions take place. it is feared that Blaine’s magnetism will interfere with the working of the compass on the Republican boat. A wreck may be looked for about Nov. 4. Only one petrified pig has been dis covered in Missouri so far. Some of the orders for hams from the railroad restau rants can not be filled yet awhile. The Republican enthusiasm must be rather stale, or the managers wouldn’t take such pains to keep it in the refriger ator right at the opening of the campaign. The Texans arecompiainingol drought. Rains are needed in every section of the State, and serious doubts are already felt as to the probability ot obtaining average crops. Jay Gould—slapping coal heaver (wages 65cents per day)on for the grand old party. This is get ting rich at the rate of Jlia!Hbo,ooo per month.” An old Bea Captain informs the Mont gomery Advertiser that lime water is a certain cure for cholera. The certain cures, of which there are hundreds, rarely cure anybody. It Is to be hoped the report that ex- President Tilden intends takuig a South ern cruise m his yacht, the Viking, is true. The Southern people would be delighted to welcome him on their coast. The fifth convention of the National Association of Photographers, now in session in Cincinnati, is said to have on exhibition in Music Hall the largest ex position of photography ever seen. The report is current that J. Warren Keiter has started a newspaper. Of course his peculiar talent will be strongly enlisted for the plumed knight, for has not Heifer also a spotted record ? The Republican clubs eomplain that their paper plumes won’t wash. It ought to be considered a much more serious matter to them that their candidate’s record is open to the same objection. It is stated that Freddy Gebhardt made the Western tour with Mrs. Langtry in cog., being known as Mr. Pigott. The mystery of the cowboy lover may now be Accounted for. It was Freddy in dis guise. A Cincinnati paper says that city can vie with Toulon in regard to the filthy condition of its streets. So Cincinnati is the Toulon, and not the Paris, of Ameri ca. It is still somewhat Freneby, how ever. An exchange says that Blaine’s church pew is to be photographed and used as a campaign document. Blaine ba9 been in tbe wrong pew so often that it may be somewhat difficult to locate aud ‘‘take’ the right one. A New Jersey paper thinks the United States ought to have two Presidents, rep resenting the two principal political par ties. It neglects, however, to recom mend a platform demanding the enlarge ment of lunatic asylums. Two matrimonial desertions per day is the estimated average in Philadelphia, and yet the people of that city affect to be surprised when they find a skeleton in the garbage heaps. The closets are bound to be emptied once In awhile. Druggists who nave been rather shame faced about selling bogus mineral waters may now hold up their heads with bold ness. A prominent medical authority says that manufactured mineral waters, when properly prepared, are quite as good as the natural. ’ The Houston Post thinks Ben Butler is the second edition of the Egyptian Sphynx. No, no; he is tbe Niobe of Presidential aspirants. His hopes have been slain, and be has wept himself into stone. Each reader can put in the ‘‘voice less woe” business to suit himself. It is net often that the baker gives one a Stone when he asks for bread, though sometimes he is accused of using white earth in his flour; but a New York paper says it is quite common in that city for the grocers to give their cus tomers marble dust in their powdered sugar. What do the people think of Alderman Hamilton’s plan to increase the number Of Aldermen to 18 and to give the Mayor the power to veto any measure! It will be brought before the Council soon, and it might be well to give it some considera tion before the time for acting Ui>sn it arrives. Even in San Francisco the coal dealers are accused of giving their retail custo mers short weight, and it is proposed to detail policemen to see that the custo mers are not cheated. The art of build ing up a load of wood so as to obtain the most aud largest number of air spaces, appears not to have been learned on the Pacific slope yet. Frank James has already become a politician since his release from jail. He has been hard at work trying to deleat the District Attorney who prosecuted him at Gallatin, Mo- and who is a candi date for Congress. James has not been successful, as his enemy has already secured the Democratic nomination, and is pretty certain to be elected. The Czar of all the Kussias is said to be getting quite haggard on account of fear of being assassinated by the Nihil ists. The discovery of the Warsaw plot almost unnerved him, and it may be that he will be brought to his tomb by terror alone. It is better to be an humble citi zen of a free country than to be a mon arch of a powertul but oppressed nation. The Galveston Xeies latimates that some Georgia papers are doing all they can in a sly way for Blaine, and lose no opportunity to throw cold water on the Democratic platform and ticket. It says the Georgia Democrats get queerer every day Don’t be uneasy about Georgia Democrats, brother Xetcs. They areas solid as the most solid part of the solid South could wish them to be. The report that there are hundreds of Mormon polygamists in the mountains of Tennessee and Alabama who are too poor to go to Utah is probably an exaggeration. A poor man is the last person in the world who would want more than one wife in the localities named, unless the wives could be made a little more than self-sup- Dorting, and the ginseng crop in the mountains is not large enough for that jo be accomplished in many instances. - The Promise of Prosperity. The business outlook continues to grow ;more promising. In the great financial centres the panic is regarded as over. There continue to be a good many fail ures. but in most cases they are due to the continued stringency in the money market rather than to any extra ordinary weakness of business houses. The banks, lor some reason or other, still maintain a very conservative policy. They do not appear to be anxious to make loans, and when they do they de mand very high rates of interest. They are preparing, they say, to meet the de mand which will soon be made on them for money to move the crops. However, they are beginning to show more liberali ty, and it may not be long before business will be moving easily in its accustomed channels. Business men in New York are looking for a very prosperous season. Their orders are already large, and the expectation is that they will exceed those of any previ ous season. There is some depression among manufacturers, but working peo ple generally seem to be employed at fair wages. There are certainly no reports of distress among them. If business comes up to its present promise the fall trade will be very large. Of c.urse the basis of all prosperity is the crops. The reports received from every part of the country areenoouraging. In the Northwest the wheat crop was ex cellent, but the prices are not high. The large yield, however, is some compensa tion for the low prices. The corn crop promises well. The harvest is certain to be bountiful. The reports respecting cot ton place the crop above the average. There doesn’t appear to be any reason why business shouldn’t grow rapidly more prosperous as tbe season advances. Confidence is certainly returning. No body doubts that the little panic that flurried Wall street a couple of months or so ago has spent its force. Stocks show a great improvement, at least those do which pay dividends. Some of those which do not have advanced a good many points from tbe lowest price they reached. The impression in finan cial and business centres appears to be that the country is on the up grade, and that it will continue on that grade. The panic, assuming that it is over, did not amount to a great deal. In no respect did it compare with that of 1873. The country was too prosperous, and It soon reached limits which it could not pass. The notable failures were among stock speculators. If the banks had pursued a less timid policy it is probable that there would have been very few failures of those engaged in legitimate business. The Well Water Question. The well water question is attracting attention in quite a number of cities. In New York the health authorities are dis cussing tbe advisability of Closing all the wells. It is claimed that, owing to the geological formation of the island of Man hattan, pure water cannot be obtained there even at the depth of 1,000 feet. The water from the deepest well 9 contains poisonous matter. In St. Louis the well water question is also being agitated. That city is built on a limestone lounda tion, and pure well water ought to be ob tained there, if anywhere, provided the wells are sunk below the limestone. The St. Louis Health Department, however, declares that the water of the wells is un fit for use, and is making preparations to close all the wells. Aa analysis shows that some of tbe wells contain as much as 24 per cent, of chlorine. The people of this city are beginning to awaken to the danger that lurks in the wells. They have known, of course, all along that the water is impure, but they have contented themselves with the idea that it was not sufficiently poisonous to hurt anybody. They have not considered that perhaps diphtheria, malarial and other fevers are caused by this contami nated well water. They have now, how ever, the opinions of the leading physi cians of the city that the wells are sources of disease, and they ought not to he satis fied until the city authorities order the wells closed. If cholera were to find a lodgment here the well water would contribute more than anything else to its spread. If the wells were closed there would have to be some arrangement made to supply very poor people with water. Hydrants could easily be placed in localities as convenient as the pumps are now. It would be bet ter, of course, that water should be in all tenement houses, even the commonest, so that the poor might enjoy the luxury of frequent baths. Asa correspondent, in a communication published this morning, suggests, the city could easily arrange for the collection of a reasonable water tax. The tax could be graded in accordance with tbe value of the property, and the property held responsible for it. The tax, however, is a matter for the Council to settle. The thing to attend to now is to get the wells closed. Rev. James Dunwoilj. This venerable preacher of the Gospel died at his home in Houston county Thursday evening. He was at the time of his death the oldest Methodist preacher in Georgia, being in the 95th year of his age, and for about three-quarters of a century has been a tried and faithful min ister of the Methodist Church. He joined the Georgia Conference in early life, and was one of the true and earnest laboreis in the cause of Christianity who would not be stopped by any obstacle, and who preached alone for the love he bore his Hastei Itnd his fellow creatures. With little education and many disad vantages to contend with, Rev. James Dunwody began preaching with an ear nestness and zeal that in time made him one of the most useful ministers in the State. Long after his age and infirmities would have placed him on the superan nuated list, he persisted in doing regular work, and when at last the Conference refused to give him a charge, he contin ued to preach, and for many years past has claimed every fifth Sunday as his regular appointment at the Methodist Church in Perry. He also preached fre quently at Dunwody Chapel, near his residence. He has been blind and almost deaf for probably ten years, but his mind seemed to strengthen as his other faculties became impaired, and some of the best sermons of his life were delivered a short time before bis last ill ness. His purity and simplicity of life were equal to his zeal. He was a most remarkable man in this respect. All who knew Rev. James Dunwody know that the summons, most welcome to him, had long been waited for with pa tience and hope. For him “to die is gain.” The Philadelphia Press says: “ ‘The in famous civil service law’ is what the Cin cinnati Enquirer, the leading Democratic journal of Ohio, calls it. It is understood that if a Democratic administration ever gets into power John Rodgers McLean will make it a penitentiary offense for a Republican to seek an office.” The Press ought not to forget that hundreds of emi nent Republicans have already committed penitentiary offenses while seeking offices. It is not the seeking but the manner of Beeking offices that has made so many members ot the grand old party criminals. If appearances count for anything ex- Senator Conkling has thoroughly re formed. He sat on the platform the other day during a temperance meeting at Ocean Grove, New Jersey, at which en thusiastic speeches were made for St. John and Daniel. Conkling applauded the speeches, and earnestly congratulated the orators. The Washington Star thinks beyond all doubt that Conkling is for St. John and Daniel and Prohibition. If this be true, it will go to prove that the taffy in Blaine’s book was not as powerful as it was thought to be. The Blaine organs are bothering them selves about Cleveland’s letter of accept ance. They appear to be afraid that Daniel Manning and Hanton Marble will write it for him. What if they dof It is not probable, however, that they will. Cleveland is fully able to write his own letters and messages. The few remarks that he made when notified of his nomina tion were much superior to those made by Blaine when officially Informed of hi# Domination, Attacking Beecher. Hdhry Ward Beecher is one of the targets for the malice of the Blaine organs. They appear to think that it is fair and honorable not only to misrepre sent what he says, but to utilize every opportunity to hold him up to ridicule. It he were supporting Blaine they would exhaust the list of laudatory adjectives in praising him, but because he has seen proper to announce his determination to support Cleveland, they find it difficult to discover language sufficiently strong to condemn him. Surely Mr. Beecher is free to support Cleveland it he wants to. He has the right that any citizen has to vote for whom he pleases. He does not engage in blackguarding Blaine. He does not say a word about Blaine’s character. He simply says that he cannot support him, because he does ttot like his methods of doing things as a public man, and does not believe that he is a safe man to whom to entrust the government, ne certainly has good rea sons for what hesays. When Blaine was Secretary of State there was apprehension that be would contrive to get the country into trouble with a foreign power. Blaine has a reputation for brilliancy and audaci ty. He is proud of it, and he wants to do something whenever he has the opportu nity to sustain it. Mr. Beecher don’t like that sort of a man for President, and he is frank enough to say so openly and freely. He still claims to be a Republican, and probably will vote the Republican ticket next fall, with the exception of the elec toral part of it. Mr. Beecher is only one of many thousands of Republicans who will not support Blaine. The bolt ers regard him as a corrupt man, and will not vote for him for that reason. They think that their party ought to be rebuked for nominating a man who repre sents in such a marked degree the spoils element. The attacks on Beecher will do him no harm. The motive which inspires them is well understood. Beecher will continue to give his reasons for not sup porting Blaine notwithstanding the at tacks. Of course it is galling to Blaine to be repudiated by those who have given character to the Republican party. It is noticeable that Elkins, Gould, Brady, Dorsey, Kellogg and Keifer stick to him. They will not desert him as long as he has any prospect ot success. There could have been no nomination which would have been more satisfactory to them. Here is what the Memphis Avalanche has to say about a man who quit planting all cotton before it was too late: “He walked into the Avalanche editorial room yesterday aiternoon. The editor looked up and said, Howde? but did not at first recognize his visitor. The aforesaid visi tor was well dressed, and bis manner in- a prosperous man. He might be a well-to-do city merchant ora wealthy rail way president. He was neither. He was, in short, the Plowboy. Three years ago he was a Shelby county cotton planter con stantly in debt to his merchant. He was ill-clad and poorly fed. He was bound hand and foot to tbe merchant because, without the merchant, he would starve. But a marvelous change has come over the Plowboy. Instead of cotton he raises corn, grass, hogs, sheep and cattle. He sells 100 pounds of butter per week in the Memphis market. He owes no man any thing and always has money in his pocket.” This has been tbe experience of a great many people in Georgia aid other parts of the South. The Nashville American says: “The railroads of Georgia have by the evidence of our Southern exchanges played sad havoc with the truck farming interests ot the State, especially the watermelon industry. It is generally conceded tbe latter is at an end, and that it is due to extortionate rates of freight and the ex actions of middlemen.” The American has not kept well posted on the subject. The railroads of Tennessee and other States are as much, it not more to blame than those of Georgia. Our railroads have not the making of rates to Northern cities altogether in their own hands. Perhaps they are entirely handicapped hv connect ing roads. CURRENT COMMENT. No Doubts About Honest Men. Kew York World ( Dem.). After the meeting at Chiokering Hall last night there need be no doubt as to where the sympathies or the laboring men and the honest Irishmen of this city are. They are with Cleveland. Facts for Laboring Men. Washington Post [Dem..). There are a hundred times as many million aires and two hundred times as many unem ployed poor men in the United States as there were tweutv-four years ago. These facts show how labor is “protected” by war taxes in time of peace. Dodging Civil Service Reform. St. Louis Republican (Dem.). Docs anybody doubt that each individual of the thousands of Federal office holders as sessed for campaign purposes will regard himself as marked for removal if lie fail or re fuse to pay as asked? The intention of the civil service law was to make every govern ment employe as independent as other citi zens are with respect to political contribu tions, but the spirit of the law is disregarded in the assessments of officials, and everyone knows that there will not be wanting pre texts to turn out all who are marked by the campaign committee. Easily Recognized Difference. Mine York Evening Post [Jnd. Rep.) The people are *taot slow to recognize the difference between the professional office seeker anil the man who neither seeks nor shuns thedutiesof public station. Mr. Blaine is as distinctly the type of the former as Gov. Cleveland is of the latter, and it is no insig nifieent augurv ef Gov, Cleveland's success that all of the Presidents who have been elec ed since the time of Buchanan have been found among those who were not distinctively known as candidates for the office, and an glers for the nomination, while all those who have taken great pains to secure It have been disappointed.

There is such a tremendous demand now in Paris for Bavarian beer that the Eastern Railroad Company run 9 beer trains from Munich six days in the week. Paris has now 25,000 beer shops, and the daily sum spent on beer is estimated at $150,000. Choctaw county, Ala., sends to the New Orleans Exposition a hewed stick of yellow* pine 80 feet long, 42 inches square in the mid dle. and containing 11,760 feet, board measure. Another of cypress, from the Danner Band and Lumber Company, is 65 feet long, 8 feet across at tlic large, anil 70 incites at the small end. Oyster shells are being put on the roads around New Haven, Conn., this summer for the first time in a number of years. Oyster growers refuse to buy them even at three cents a bushel, because the ravages of the star fisn and heavy taxation have almost ruined their industry. It is said that a single owner of ovster beds' has lost $lOO,OOO this year througa the attacks of star fish. THE steamships City of Rome and Aurania, left Queenstown together on Sunday. This is the first time the City of Rome has left on the same dav with a steamship that is so near her match, and both vessels will try to heat their previous records. The City of Rome s best Westward passage was a few minutes over seven days and two hours. The Aurama has made the same passage in days and seven hours. Quarantine regulations against cholera cause some curious difficulties on the Franco- Spanish frontier. Along the high road, near the village of Perthus, one side of the way is French, the other Spanish. Accordingly, if a Spaniard merely crosses from his house to a French cafe opposite for a petit verre, he can not go home again until he has undergone seveu days’ strict quarantine. The late Mine. Taglioni’s stage costume would have surprised ballet dancers of the present day. The fact was that she never in the whole of her career wore a dress which allowed her knee to be seen. Her own b>gh ideas of her art were well expressed m the rebuke she administered to one of her admir ers in Milan who begged her to shorten her dress “just a very little.” “.Signor,” replied the daoeer, "I do not dance for men, I dauce for wives and for daughters.” The science of locks and keys has been brought to great perfection tn this country, and probably is unrivaled; but a hundred vears ago there was not a lock in England, far less here, that coni 1 comparator security with one that has been in use inCbina for hundreds of years. It Is a wooden lock, and founded exactly upon the same principle as the mod ern Bramah lock, and it has sliders or tum blers of different lengths, and canonlybe opened when they are all raised to the proper height. The San Diego (Cal.) Sun is responsible f r the following: “A man named Montgomery has made application for a patent for anew process of devulcanizing India rubber. Bv this wonderful discovery old rubber can be worked over several process which has puz zled the wisest heads in the world for centu ries. The discovery, like all great inventions, was purely accidental. A short time ago he desired to make a gas-bag for a Drummond light and took some old rubber and attempted to devulcanize it. The experiment proved successful.” Santa Clara county, Cam., is perhaps the only place in this country, probably in the world, where three crops of fruit have been taken off trees in one year. As an instance, the Sqn Jose limes recently said: “Mrs. .J. M. Jamison, of the University tract, has on her place a number of pear trees of the Win ter Nellis variety, off of which have already lieen taken, since last January, two large crops of pears, and there is, on the trees now. about half grown, the third crop, which is so large that about one-half of the fruit will have to be picked in order to give sufficient nourishment to the other half. The Scientific American has an illustration of anew life-saving apparatus, designed to utbize the properties of oil in case of acci dent. It is called the automatic wave lubri cating life buoy, and resembles in appearance an ordinary circular life preserver. A seam less brass reservoir extends round the inside of the apparatus, and this being filled witli oil is so arranged by means of a rose like those placed upon sprinkling cans, that when the life buoy is hung upon the vessel’s stern, no oil cau escape. When placed horizontally, however, the liquid flows out freely. If a person falls overboard the buoy, on being throw n in'o the water, spreads'out a large circular film of oil, which smooths the waves and enables the victim of accident to rest safely until rescued by the boats.

Mr. Blaine doesn’t care who has the ocean carrying trade. Why should he? Indeed, it is better as it is.

Baxley, Ga., July 30.—Times have been unusually dull in this county ever since the coming in of this year. Every branch of business seems to be more or less depressed compared with last year, notably tbe naval stores business. The prices’of naval stores have ruled so low the whole season that manufacturers have hardly * been able to make ends’ meet. Parties who were encouraged two years ago by the high prices of naval stores ruling at that time to mortgage tbeir property to raise money to go into the business, find them selves now near the end of the season as deep in debt as when they commenced and with exhausted farms. How they ex pect to lift these mortgages, I don’t know. The timber business —that is, cutting and carrying timber down the Altamaha river to Darien market, which a few years ago was a source of considerable revenue to this county, so far as this immediate section is concerned, has petered out. It having liecome unprofit able, the people were forced to give it up. Naval stores, the principal industry of this county, being depressed, mercantile business is depressed proportionately. From my observation, where merchants sold $lO worth of goods last year they sell $5 worth this year. The failure of crops in this section last year, which was almost complete on account of the drought, has also helped to make times hard: Crops, however, are much better this year, and we may pre dict better times for another year. Up to June this season was the best for years. The excessive rains during the month of June and a portion of this month injured crops a little, but not enough to affect the general crop materially. The peach crop is unusually fine. The melon crop was cut short by too much rain. Notwith standing the hard times, etc., this has been a summer of unusual gaiety among the people around here, judging from the number of picnics, festivals, etc., they have bad. There was a picnic at Mr. G. F. Mel ton’s school house near this place a short time ago, which I am told was quite a pleasant affair. Parties attending from this place came back very much pleased. One of the best, and perhaps most enjoy able, things of the season was the grand masquerade ball at the Centennial House at this place on July 22. On account of the hot weather, etc., it was thought by some that this ball would not be a suc cess, but, when it came off, the expecta tions of the most sanguine were more than realized. To the energies-of Mr. J. C. Geiger, proprietor of the Centen nial, is due the success of this affair. Mr. Geiger promises to give another ball in the fall, which he hopes to make eclipse the one of the 22i1. Politics have been running very high in this county for several months. According to the rotation rule this county (Appling) is entitled to the Senator from this, the Third Senatorial district this time. Hon. L. Johnson, of Graham, and Dr. B. H. Pat terson, ot this place, are the candidates. I understand Rev. Sarvis, of Jesup, has an nounced himself a candidate for Senator on what he calls the “Old Whig Republi can” ticket. From what we have seen and heard we are not disposed to think that the “Old Whig Republican” ticket will make a very last race, the colored race not seeming'to care to cast their votes in that direction, and all the whites in the district being straighout Democrats. So if Rev. Sarvis does not import votes we do not see where he expects to get them from. Both Mr. Johnson and Dr. Patter son are staunch Democrats, and are emminently worthy of the suffrages of the people, anil either would represent the district with credit to themselves and to their constituency. W. W. Beach ot this place, and Mr. Wm. Stewart, of the county, are the candidates for the lower House of the Legislature. Mr. Beach has many friends, and some of them predict an easy walk over for him. From what we can see, Mr. Stewart alsohas a very good backing. Aspirants for county offices have general ly come to the front, but haven’t been doing much electioneering as yet. Since the conviction of Lowery crime has been considerably on the decrease in this county. A year ago it was a very common thing to hear of a cutting or shooting scrape among the negroes. Such occurrences are hardly ever heard of now. 1 understand there was a con siderable row at Graham a few days ago among the whites, pistols and knives being flourished freely, but no blood shed. The temperance movement of this place, which flourished so last year, is now a little on the decline, but it is to be hoped ere long it will receive a stimulus that will give it its old popularity. J. H. GEOBGF 1. SENEY TO-DAY. Unjust Stories About tlie Ex-Hlillion aire’s Style of Living. Some of the papers, says the New York Commercial Advertiser, have devoted themselves of late to describing the luxu ry in which Mr. George 1. Seney is now living. An intimate friend of Mr. Seney’s 6aid this morning: “Any such stories are altogether UDjust and unfair. At the time of the Metropolitan Bank’s suspen sion, Mr. Seney gave up all his proper ty, although he was not legally bound to do so. Even his admirable collection of paiutings was placed at the dis posal of the bank. The paintings have not been sold, as they were held against an emergency. If they were to be disposed of, they would of course bring in a large sum. Possibly at some futiyc time Mr. Seney may himself buy them hack. But as for luxurious residences, and all that, Mr. Seney is living quietly out of town, at the house of a relative. His household is anything but expensive, and he does not even keep a horse. He is in the city occasionally, but does no busi ness. This ought to dispose of the foolish and unfounded charges of extravagance that have been raked up against him. BORN LUCKY. The Man Who Got 815,000 In a Lottery —Memphis Luck. Fortune seems to favor this neighbor hood, for hardly a Louisiana Lottery draw ing takes place without singling out some luckly fellow in Memphis or this vicinity. At the last drawing ticket No. 67,552 drew the lourth capital prize of $6,000, aud oue tiilh was collected by the German Na tional Bank lor Chris. Hettinger, an hon est and industrious carpeuter. Mr. Het tinger was looking over the morning Ava lanche, when he came to his number. He hastily remarked to a friend: “By Joe, I believe I have struck it this time,” and rushed off for his ticket. He was over joyed to find that it was a tally. Ticket No. 12,333 drew the first capital prize of $75,000, and one-fifth was held by a well-to-do farmer living in the quaint and picturesque little town of Canada ville, Fayette county,Tenn. An Avalanche reporter paid a visit recently to Cunada ville, and was introduced to the lucky farmer. His face was all aglow with good nature. lie said that his good for tune enabled him to make some improve ments in his place that he had been long wanting to make, but felt unable to do so. He said he had begun life with nothing, but had accumulated and acquired a good farm. His $15,000 would enable hiu“o live comfortably and serenely the. * v;Bt ot his liie. He remarked to the {’ e P orter that now he would have a win'-'*fl*““ -Bonie - thing that his heart had loni t2 eD 881 upon. The farmer drew w®™on*Birough the Bank of Corny" 31 ’, ce Memphis ( Tenn * Avalanche, July 26. parUcv’o Some. Where the Fire is Out. Magic nr More a Mystery—Seen from Across the World. “Hareinof Aleppo,” said Sir Philip Derval, “had mastered every secret in nature which the Kibler magic seeks to fathom. He dis cov .red that the true art of healing is to as gj, Nature to throw off the disease—to sum- as it were, the whole system to eject the -■nemy that has fastened on a part. His pro cesses all included the reinvigoration of the principle of life.” In this the Eastern sage merely anticipated the practice of the best physicians gf to-day. What life itself is, nobody knew then—nobody knows now. But we have learned something of the reasons why the mysterious tide rises and falls. Provided the great organs of the body are not irreparably destroyed, medical science can always relieve, and often save. Yet no reputable physiciau now adheres to the barbarous and stupid proces-es of deple tion, such as bleeding, by which it was at tempted to cure disease by reducing the pa tient’s ability to resist it. Now-a-days we do not tear down the fort to help the garrison— we strengthen it. In this intelligent and beneficent work, it Is conceded that PARKER’S TONIC leads all other medicines. As an invigorant it acts immediately and powerfully upon the circu lation and the organs of digestion, thus giving Nature the assistance she calls for. It follows that all ailments of the stomach, kidneys and liver are at once relieved or cured. No other preparation embodies the same qualities or jiroduces similar results. It is delicious to use, and the best known anti-intoxicant. Price 50c. and 11. lliscox & Cos., New York. legal llotireo.
