Jlo was in all res remarkable man. lie held his age tuna any celebrity that bus figured in i and the longer lie lived the stronger D 6 e . r his memory grew. If he lives again, he will distinctly recollect the f^V ei 7 of America. 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.

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.

Read the following testimonials: At Home, near Marietta, Ga., Oct 16,1867. 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, HENRY C. DAVIS. Rocky Mount, Edgecombe Cos., N. C., ) November 13,1866. j 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.
