The above resume of his biography 1 be
lieve to be substantially correct, although
it is possible that ho may have died once or
twice in obscure places where the event
failed of newspaper notoriety. Ono fault I
find in all notices of his death which I have
quoted, and this ought to be corrected. In
them he uniformly and impartially died at
the age of 95. This could not have boen.
He might have done that onco, or may be
twice, but he could not have continued it
indefinitely. Allowing that when he first
died, he died at the ago of 95, ho was 151
years old when he died Inst, in 18G4. But
his age did not keep pace with his recollec
tions. When he died the last time ho dis
tinctly remembered the landing of the Pil
grims, which took place iti 1620. 110 must
have been about twenty years old when he
witnessed that even ; wherefore it is safe to
assert that the body-servant of General
Washington was in the neighborhood of two
hundred and sixty or seventy years old when
he departed this life finally.
Having waited proper length of time, to
see if the subject of this sketch had gone
from us reliably and irrevocably, I now
publish his biography with cotifidenoo, and
respectfully offer it to a mourning nation.
Mark Twais.
.p. S.—l see by the papers that this in
famous old fraud has just died again, in
Arkansas. This makes six times that he
is known to have died, and always in anew
place. The death of Washington’s body
servant has ceased to be a novelty its
charm is gone ; the people are tired of it;
let it cease. This well-meaning, but mis
guided negro, has now puPsix different com
munities to the expense of burj’ing him in
state, and has swindled tens of thousands
of people into following him to the grave
under the delusion that a select and peculiar
dsistinction was being conferred upon them.
Let him stay buried for good now ; and let
that newspaper suffer the severest censure
that shall ever,'in all future time, publish to
the world that> General Washington's fa
vorite colored liody-sorvant has died again.

VEGETABLE
PAIN KILLEK.
WE BEG LEAVE TO CALL THE ATTEN
TION of the public to thia long tested and
unrivalled
FAMILY MEDICINE.
Tho PAIN KILLER is a purely vegetable
compound ; and while it is a most efficient Rem
edy for Pain, it is a perfectly safe medicine,'even
in the most unskillful hands, for
SUMMER COMPPAINT,
or any other form of Bowel Disease in children
or adults. It is an almost certain cure, and has,
without doubt, been more successful in curing
the various kind* of
CHOLERA
than any other known remedy, or eveu tho most
skillful physician.' In India, Afrioa and China,
where this dreadful disease is ever more or less
prevalent, tho '*• .
PAIN KILLER
is considered by the natives, as well as European
residents in those climates,
A SURE REMEDY.
Asa Tonic for the Stomach.it \l unrivalled.
A few doses will reliove severe cases of
INDIGESTION,
and it is often a perfect euro for
DYSPEPSIA
in its most aggravated farms. Tts tonic and
stimulating properties, arousing tho system to
vigorous action, render it n most effectual
curs for
COLDS AND COUGHS,
when used according to directions.
For external application, it is unsurpassed by
any medical preparation known.
RHEUMATISM
and Neuralgic Affections are quickly relieved
and open cured by it. Any soreness in the
Muscles or Joints can be relieved by its applica
tion. It cures instantly the most violent
TOOTHACHE.
It should always be kept near at hand, to bo
usod in cases of severe
BURNS OR SCALDS.
If applied immediately, according to directions,
it will give instant relief, and prevent, blistering.
It is peculiarly adapted to the wants of
SEAMEN,
and persons making sea voyages, nnd no vessel
should sail without a supply of it. One captain
writes us:
“I have made sovjral voyages—often with
emigrants—and though I koep a good medicine
chest, and have several times had a good deal ol
sickness on board, I have found the Pain Killer so
efficient in all cases -,s to entirely preclude the
use of all other medicines.”
One positive proof of its efficacy is, that the
sales havo constantly increased, and wholly
upon its own merits. The effect of tho Pain
Killer upon the patient, when taken internally
in cases of Colds, Cough, Bowel Complaints,
Cholera, Dysentery, and other affections of tho
system, has been truly wonderful, and has won
for it a name among the medical preparations
that can never be forgotten. Its success in re
moving Pain, as an external remedy, In oases of
Burns, Bruises, Sores, Sprains, Cuts, Sting of
Insects, and other c-asts of suffering, has so
cured for it such a host of testimony, as an
almost infallible remedy, that it will bo handed
down to posterity as one of the greatest medical
discoveries of tho nineteenth century. Tho
magical effects of the Pain Killer, when taken
or used according to directions, are certain.
You have only to be sure that you buy the
genuine article and adbero to the directions in
its use, and you will admit its wonderful medi
cinal properties.
The gcuuine Perry Davis’ Pain Killer is now
put up in panncl bottles with the words Davis
Vegetable Pain Killer blown in the glass ; and
with two steel engraved labels on each bottle—
one' an excellent likeness of Perry Davis, the
original inventor of the medicine, the other a
steel engraved note of hand—none others can be
relied upon as genuine.

A. J. Roberts 4’ Cos,, Atlanta, Ga.:
Gentlemen—l am well pleased withthe result
of tho use of the “ Double Refined Poudrette”
on my crops. I tried it on both corn and cotton,
and am satisfied wherever it was applied the yield
was more than double what it would have been
without it. I regret exceedingly my not using it
more extensively the present year, but will try
to make up my loss by purchasing a larger
quantity next spring. I regard it as the cheapest,
most reliable, and easiest managed fertilizer with
in niv know ledge, and cheerfully recommend it (as
I have tried it thoroughly) to the fanners of this
section, aud particularly to those plautiug cotton,
from tho fact of its causing it to mature from ten
days to two weeks earlier than it would witliou
the use of the Poudrette. I also used it on my
garden, aud found it of much benefit to all kinds of
plants.
Very respectfully, etc.,
G. 8. OGLESBY.
Extract lroin a letter received frern Professor
Martin, of Hampden, Sidney College, Virginia,
dated July Ist. 1867.
The Double Refined Poudrette is operating like
a charm on my Crop, and attracting universal
attention from all beholders. I am already
satisfied that it is the cheapest aud surest renovator
of our worn-out lands.
High Shoals, Ga., October 4,1867.
James R. Dey, Esq.:
Sir—The Double Refined Poudrette I bought
lor two other parties in counection with myself—
one of them used it ou cotton and corn, and thinks
it answered finely; the other put it ou cotton, on
very poor ground, aud thinks it doubled his crop.
I used it ou corn. It answered finely, and was
thought by the hand that cultivated the crop to
be fiuly equal to Rhode’s Super Phosphate. I
also used it on about an acre of cotton , and lam
clearly of opinion that it is the best and cheapest
fertilizer in use, and I expect to order several
tons thia winter.
Yours, very respectfully,
ISAAC POWELL.
EUaviile, Schley Cos., Ga., Oct. 4,1867.
The Double Refined Poudrette purchased of
you last Spring, I think, increased my crop of
cotton 150 pounds per acre ; put it upon worn out
pine land, at the rate of 200 pounds per acre,
drilled iu with cotton seed.
Yours, etc., S. MONTGOMERY.
Salisbury, N. C., Aug. 10,1867
James R Dey, Esq.:
Dear Sir—l can safely say that your Double
Refined Poudrette is far superior to any fertilizer
for Cotton ; for I have given it a fair trial this
season.
Yours, JEHU FOSTER, Jr.
Savannah, Ga Sept. 25,1867.
James R. uey. Esq.. Pres’t.:
Dear Sir—l used the Double Refined Poudrette
bought of you last Spring on Corn I think it
increased the yield one half. I consider it an
excellent manure.
Keep- ;1 T. HOLCOMBE.
Ridgeway, S. C , Sept, 21,1867.
Mr. James R. Dev.:
Sir—l applied the Double Refined Poudrette
by itself, and in combination with other fertilizers,
on COTTON, and am pleased with it; so much
so that it is my present intention to purchase a
larger supply of you next year to apply to my
Cotton crop.
Yours, very respectfully,

James 11. Dey Esq.:
Sir— lll leply to your inquiry of the results of
our experience in the use of yourimproved Poud
rette, purchased of you for this year’s COTTON
CROP, we would beg leave to sav that the pies
ent season has been one quite unfavorable to the
action of all fertilizers.
Several kinds of manures icere used by us,
with the exception of your Poudrette , with little
or no effect to the crop
WHERE THE POUDRETTE WAS USED
IT GAVE US NEAR HALF A BALE MORE
PER ACRE, AND CAUSED THE COTTON
TO OPEN MUCH EARLIER, and we would
therefore recommend the same as a concentrated
manure for the growth of Cotton, as well as
improvement to the soil.
