. THE CAMPAIGN.
No one can overestimate tlic importance
attached to the political campaign upon
which we are entering. The respective
hosts have chosen their leaders and raised
their standard. The issue is made up.
The National Republican will be
found battling, in the front rank, for the
Restoration of Georgia, for the new Con
stitution framed by her representatives in
the Convention at Atlanta, for new men
and new measures, and, as a sequence, for
the peace and prosperity of our people.
“There's work for every man to do.’
To make Tire National Republican
effective in the great work before us, we
propose the following liberal
RATES FOR THE CAMPAIGN:
DAILY, single copy, 3 months SI.OO
“ 10 copies, “ “ 8.00
The Republican contains more reading
matter than any other daily journal in the
State, including the latest news by mails
and telegraph.
If the editor of the Watchman is disposed
to do us justice, as he avers he is, will he
inform his readers, in reply to his allusion to
our connection with the Daily Press, of
Augusta, that we left that paper some time
before it was changed to the Republican,
and that during our connection with it, we
did not control its political columns.—
Southern Banner.
We have nothing to do with the quarrel
between the Watchman and the Banner.
We car. stand off and fold our arms, and
“view the landscape o'er”—but unto thou
Simeon, whom we would “have gathered
under our wing as a hen doth gather her
chickens,” we have somewhat to say to this,
at and one question to ask. It is this—
“lf thoudidst not control the columns of the
Daily Press and write its political articles,
who did ?” Oil this wonderful Ben. Hill De
mocracy. We think sometimes that the
devil has incited men to form it lor the
express purpose of keeping up divisions
among them, and to befog the very “elect.”
A fellow in raving against Bullock
gets off the following: “As broad as the
earth, as high as the heavens, and as deep
as hell.” Just here we fainted, and couldn’t
quite see the pint.—New Era.
What enormous proportions either our
candidate must have, or the recently made
Democracy, the poor man’s enemy, the
enemy of law, order, peace and quiet, the
unrepenting rebel hotspurs of a people
whose very life blood has been surrendered
to pamper their vile passions of greed and
ambition. Poor men 1 laboring men!
beware of these wolves in sheep’s clothing.
We tell you, in all truth and soberness,
beware of them. They have led you into
war, famine and pestilence; they have
slain your first born, your fathers and
your brothers. They would now lead you
the second time into the same predicament.
They wish to add robbery to murder and
theft. Are you willing to trust them a
second time? Answer ye this question to
your own consciences and your God ?
Quite a number of the Reese toot
horns havo taken violent spasmsover Judge
.Irwin's card announcing himself a candi
date for Governor. Go it, ye scalawags.—
New Era.
Jist so 1 Pitch in ! don’t he scared ; no
body’s, afeared-whopper! Go it, Reese—
go it, Irwin! We ain’t got nary cent to
bet on either of you, and don't caro a dried
apple pealing which of you jostles or
jockies the other—you can't scare our
Bullock, for lie has heard it thunder and
lightnen and storm through a series of years,
and “feared no danger,” and it is too late
in the day to atlempt the job now.
The Madison, Monroe
»nd Savannah paper* all endorse Judge
Reese’* nomination most heartily. So far
as heard from, there is but one voice trom
the representative press of Georgia —Macon
paper.
‘‘The representative press of Georgia/' in
shorn. Torn, unless you mean that portion
of the Press who have been controlled, and
are now undcrthe control of the last spawned
progeny of the so-called National Demo
cracy of this State. True, oh, King! We
claim the Republican to be one of the
“Representative Press” of Georgia, “and
we do not endorse the nomination of Judge
•Reese, ss much us we may personally respect
the man.
[From tho Atlanta Maw Kra.
SPEECH OF GOVERNOR JOSEPH
E. BROWN.
Delivered at Marietta, Go., Wednesday,
.Van* 19th, 1868. " \
Tits UKCKI'TIOX or BKX. BILL, THE GREAT SO
CALLED DEMOCRATIC LEADER.
Tho National Democratic party of Geor
gia, so called prose pis a peculiar medley,
when n« constituent elements are examined.
Its acknowledged leader is Benjamin IL
Hill, who has spent nearly all of his poHti
cal life in bitter denunciation and Titlifica
tion of the Democratic party. If the prosent
so called Democracy stood by and defended
the priuciples ot the old State Rights De
mocracy, including the doctrines of State
Sovereignty, the right pi secession, oppo
sition to high tariff, v internal improve
mcnls, etc., lie would probably fight it
still. He certainly would if his interest was
on that side. But ho is not alone in the
championship of the new party that has
assumed the name of Democracy without
endorsing its priuciples. Judge Reese, the
Democratic candidate for Governor, is a
life long enemy of the old Democracy.
Gov. Jenkins, the martyr of the present
party, whose conscience would not allow
him to pay out money from the Treasury
appropriated by the Convention of 1867,
called under an act of Congress, in viola
tion, as he says, of the State Constitution
of 1865, but whose conscience did allow him
to receive money from the Treasury, appro
priated by the Convention of 1865, assem
bled under an order of the President of the
United States, in violation of the old Con
stitution of the State, which ho had often
sworn to support; I say Governor Jenkins,
who suffered martyrdom upon a false issue,
and in support of a principle which he had
been one ol the first and most prominent to
violate, is another leader of this new-fledged
Democracy. Who are its otheg prominent
leaders? Judge Cabauiss, General Ranse
Wright, Warren Aiken, and that old calum
niator of the Democratic party, Sneed, for
merly of the Savannah Republican, uow of
the Macon Telegraph. These are now your
Democratic leaders, while Howell Cobb, and
that class of Democrats, are assigued to
back seats among the so called.
I make the above allusions to the present
Democratic party and its leaders, as a set
off to the attacks made by tlfoA who now
claim the name Democrat, upon old line
Democrats, who do not see the old issues in
this new organization, *and do not feel
bound by party allegiance to fall down and
worship these strange gods.
While noticing this New Democracy, I
must examine the late extraordinary speech
delivered in Atlanta a few days since by
Ben. Hill, its acknowledged dictator. Like
all others of Hill’s speeches, it is pro
nounced by his followers his greatest effort.
As usual, he acts Sir Oracle. He laments
over the depravity of the times, the cor
ruption of the people, and the fact that bis
audience love falsehood and deception
better than truth. He alone is pure and
undefiled, a prophet whose vision is unerring
—who predicted all our ills, but a perverse
peoplo would not heed his sage counsels.
A garrulous old lady, who, when misfor
tune occurred in the family always claimed
to have predicted it, when told one morning
by the liusbaud that the cow had eat up the
grindstone, promptly replied, “I told you so.”
So with Ben. Hill. No matter what new
calamity befalls us, he is always ready to
replv “J predicted it.” But to the speech :
Mr. Hill says: "My friends, a political lie is
the worst ot all lies, and ought to be held
more infamous than all others. He who is
guilty of it ought to receive the frown, and
scorn, and condemnation of every man and
every member of society.” In a subsequent
part of the speech, while commenting upon
the Constitution now submitted to the people
for ratification, he refers to that p.rt of it
which provides for the election of one Justice
of the Peace in each Militia District, and
assumes that negroes have aright, under the
Constitution, to hold office, and that in lower
Georgia the Justices of the Peace will be
negroes. He then calls attention to the fact
that the justices have jurisdiction in all cases
where the amount does not exceed one
hundred dollars, and assumes broadly that
there is no itppeul from the decision of
the Justice, when the amount does not
exceed fifty dollars. He evidently intends
to produce the impression upon the minds
of liis hearers that the decision of the Justice
is final and conclusive. I quote his reiter
ated assertions, and you can judge. He
says: “That Justices of the Peace shall have
jurisdiction in all civil cases, where the
amount does not exceed one hundred dol
lars, and observe, in all cases when the
amount does not exceed fifty dollars, there is
no appeal.'' Again : “ And if that claim
should not exceed silty dollars, he is subject
to that negro’s decision, without even the
right of appeal." Again : “And when less
than silty dollars, it shallbs without appeal."
And still again : “Those men who owe large
debts can afford to go to the higher courts,
while those who are comparatively poor,
have no appeal whatever, and must take the
decision of the negro.”
Who can examine this language and
doubt that Mr. Hill’s intention is to produce
the impression his audience that the
decision of the Justice, in cases under fifty
dollars, is binding and conclusive, without
the right to have the error corrected in a
higher court.
Remember, geutlemen, a political is the
worst of all lies.
Now, what ate (he facts. Heretofore the
Justices of the Peace had, under the Code of
the State, jurisdiction of amounts not exceed
ing fifty dollars,jind there was no appeal to
the Superior Court, in the technical sense of
the term, but there was an appeal in sub
stance and in fact; as any decision of the
Justice complained of as erroneous might be
carried to the Superior Court by a writ of
certiorari, and the error, if any, be corrected.
It could not then be said there was no appeal
whatever from the decision of the J ustice.
Well, what change does the new Constitution
make? It extends the jurisdiction ot the
Justice of the Peace to one hundred dollars,
and gives an appeal, in the technical sense
of the term, to the Superior Court when the
amount exceeds fifty dollars ; that is, allows
the party to enter on appeal, like he can
now do in the Court of Ordinary, for instance.
But in cases that do uot exceed fifty dollars,
he is left to the old mode of correcting the
error by certiorari. This right of correcting
errors in Inferior Judicatories, by certiorari,
is expressly given to the Superior Courts in
unothcr section of the Constitution.
The remedy is just as complete in the
one case as in the other. The only
difference is In the manner of tho appoal,
or the mode of carrying the case up. In
either case the party aggrieved by tho
decision of the Justice, lias a full, complete
remedy, and may carry up the decision,
and, if wrong, have it reversed and set
aside by the Supreme Court. Mr. Hill is a
lawyer, and well knew this when he was
delivered of tho utterances above quoted.
Judge yo of the motive, tint do not forget
thut u political lie is the worst of all lies,
and that “he who is guilty of it ought to
receive the frown and scorn, and condemna
tion of every man and of every member of
society.”
Probably Mr. Ilill niado the above state
ment with the low opinion of the people and
of his audience, which is pictured in tho
following quotation from the same speech.
He says:
“The great difficulty of tho times is this :
the people have no regard lor truth ; they
have no love of it—not a particle. You
think less ot n man who notoriously and
avowedly engages in deception, provided it
be a politician, than you do of a Christian
gentleman. I rather think you thiuk more
of deception than you do of truth, and that
is the reason why so much deception is prac
ticed." Acting upon this belief, no doubt,
Ylr. Hill undertook to practice the above
unblushing deception. But I think he mis
took and underrated both the intelligence
and virtue of his audience, and of the people
of the State. Taking this as a specimen of
the fairuess and candor of thq speech, you
will have no difficulty, gentlemen, in putting
the peoper estimate npon the whole produc
tion.

OUR LATE VICTORY IN NEW
HAMFSHIRE.
Speeches by F. J. Filhian, Gen. Sickles, and
Gen John Cochrane.
An immense deputation of the citizens of
New York tendered Major Gen. Daniel E.
Sickles the compliment of a serenade on
Saturday evening, in acknowledgment of his
eminent services during tho recent campaign
in New Hampshire. Among those partici
pating in the affair were Gen. John Coch
rane, Gen. Tremaine, Gen. Watts DePeyster,
Col DePeyster, Ira O. Miller, Mr. McKinney,
Major Haggerty, Freeman J. Fithian, Col.
Morgan, Gen. Graham, James Culver, Alex.
McLeod, Charles S. Spencer, J. C. Hunt,
and others well known in the Union ranks.
The procession, headed by Robertson’s band,
reached'the Brevoort House—Gen. Sickles'
headquarters—about 9 p, m., and after the
band had discoursed a number of patriotic
airs, and numbers of cheers had been given
for Geu. Sickles, tho meeting was called to
order by Judge Filhian, who made a few re
marks, and introduced Gen. Sickles, who
spoke as follows :
Mr Friends: Although for tho past
seven years I have declined to take part in
mere political controversies, I am glad to
receive you here to night, and to mingle
my congratulations with yours upon Uie
result of tho recent canvass in New Hamp
shire. That signal triumph has engaged
the attention and awakened the enthusiasm
of the patriotic masses throughout the
Union. The intrinsic weight of New
Hampshire in the public councils is not
remarkable; nevertheless her voice will
now exert an extraordinary influence upon
the transactions destined to make this year
an epoch in our history. All parties by
common consent appealed to New Hamp
shire for its verdict. [Applause.] The
people of New Hampshire are patriotic,
intelligent, and conservative. Parties had
been quite evenly balanced in the State for
several years. The elections of 1807 in
other States had not turned upon the ques
tion now of vital moment. Ihe opposing
forcas in New Hampshire were marshalled
by favorite leaders.
The President was represented by Mont
gomery Blair and Senator Doolittle. The
peace Democrats were represented by the
eloquent Voorhees, Woodbury, and others.
O’Gorraon representing all the ecomomy in
public expenditures [laughter], the uncom
mon low taxes, and the decorous legislation
which distinguish the municipal government
of this city—[laughter]—endeavored in vain
to persuade the frugal population of a New
England State to extend that sort of admin
istration to Concord wild Washington. In
the service of the coalition between the
Administration, the Democrats, and the
Rebels, Executive patronage was given
without stint and promised without scruple.
The National Committee of the Democratic
party levied contribution upon their partisans
all over the country, and supplied abundant
means for the contest. No possible effort
was spared to secure a triumph, aud seldom
had success been more confidently antici
pated. The published estimates of the
Democratic State Committee ostentatiously
claimed a majority of thousands. It .was
known that our vote would be diminished,
because considerable numbers of the native
population had emigrated to the West and
South. It was known that the opposition
had naturalized a great number of foreign
ers. The most artful appeals were made to
excite distrust among the population. Every
vote that could be reached by venal interest
was secured by lavish expenditure. On our
side, General Ilarritnan—[cheers] —our
candidate for Governor, carried the same
flag he gallantly followed through the war.
[Cheer.-.] On it was inscribed an auspi
cious name, a name ever synonimous with
our cause, and with honor, and with victory
—the illustrious name of Grant. [Loud
cheer .] At the roll of the drum and the
sound of the bugle, our colors were unfurled
and the Boys in Blue rallied, and advanced
leading the long line of battle from the
mountain to the sea, and victory was ours.
[Cheers.] Seven years ot sacrifices have
not shaken the fortitude and constancy of
tho people. [Cheers.] The result has no
commonplace significance. It is an em
phatic declaration that no institution, no
party, no man shall stand in the way of the
execution of the will of the people, when
that will has become the law of the land.
[Cheers].
In the great issue presented in the pend
ing contest between the legislative and the
executive power, the first State which has
spoken sustains its Representatives in Con
gress. [Cheers,] New Hampshire in elect
ing Harriman voted for Grant. [Cheers,]
The policy, and the leaders of the Union
party are announced. In March we have
carried New Hampshire; in April Con
necticut will follow. In May the controversy
between the President and Congress will
terminate as according to right and justice
it should terminate. [Applause.] And
before the Ist of June the Convention of the
people who put down the rebellion will
present the name of Grant as their choice
for the Presidency. [Cheers.] If these are
Radical triumphs, then Donelson, Vicksburg,
Gettysburg, Winchester, Atlanta, Appomat
tox Court House, and the naval victories of
Farragut, Porter, Winslow, and Worden, are
all Radical triumphs. So be it if others will
have it so. (Cheers.) The people sustain
Congress, the exponent of their will and the
custodian of their power. [Cheers.]
The people sustain Stanton, a statesman
of the old Roman type—stern, steadfast, and
true. His genius, symmetrical and staunch,
like the arch—the more pressure his adver
saries put upon him, the more he can bear.
The people sustuin Grant; they see in him
the man for the occasion. As the second
inauguration of Lincoln in 1865 terminated
the war, so will the election of Grant in
1868 settle peacefully on the basis of justice
all the disturbing questions which have
been precipitated upon since hostilities
ceased. [Loud cheers.] He is—
“Our greatest, yet with least pretense,
Great in council, groat in war,
Foremost Captain of his time,
Rich in saving common sonse,
And, as tho greatest only are,
In his simplioity sublime;
Who nover swerved from truth to serve the hour
Nor paltered with Almighty (fed for power;
Who let the turbid streams of water flow
Through either babbling world sf high or low ;
Whoso life is work, whoso languago rife
With rugged maxims hewn from lifo.
Ho on whom, from both her open hands,
Ravish Honor showers all her stars,
And affluent Fortune empties all her horn.
Yes, let our highest honors wait
On bun who cares not to bo groat
Hut as lie servos or saves the .State,
Then let a people’s voice
In full acclaim—
A pooplo’s voice,
The proof and echo of all human fame—
A people’s voice when thqy rejoice,
In oivio revel, pomp, or game,
Attest their great Commander’s claim.”
Loud cheers, during which the General
retired.
LOUIS XIV AND MODERN DEMOC
RACY.
Perhaps the greatest piece of executive
insolence known in eiodern history was that
of Locis XIV, who went with a whip iu his
band to the Parliament of Peris, and forbade
them to exercise the last remnant of their
power—namely, the right of remonstrance.
As Madame ae Stael truly observed, this
King could never conceive the idea of a
nation, nor imagine any property to exist in
France which did not belong to him, nor
entertain a respect for anything but himself.
Considering the difference of time, and the
fact of a prevailing opinion in those days in
favor of the divine right of Kings, Andrew
Johnson’s high-handed assumption, as tem
porary exeentive of a representative republic,
is no less insolent and defiant than the act
of the French monarch, whose political
axioms are the accepted creed of the Demo
cratic party.
The iufluence of Louis XIV on the poli
tics of our own days has not beeu suffi
ciently noticed. As it was the policy of his
celebrated minister, Cardinal de Richelieu,
to consolidate ail power in the hands of the
King, to break the independent spirit of the
nobles, and by every device to extend the
foreign influence of France, so has it been
the effort of the monarchist at the head of
our State Department to accomplish the
same ends since he has been in possession
thereof, with a view to the ultimate over
throw of tree government.
As Louis XIV broke the power of his
nobles, and made courtiers of them, so that
they were willing to open the coach doors
for his mistresses, so has Andrew Johnson
endeavored to break down the independent
spirit of officers of the Republic, subordi
nate their opinions to the c .prices of his
will, and use the vast patronage of a
Government greater than France, to carry
out his policy. A member of his own
Cabinet, with no other salient point upon
which posterity could rest, has immortal
ized himself by the declaration, “That no
man shall eat the President’s bread and
butter who does not support his policy.”
If the divine right of kings ever begat
baser servility than this, then we admit
that the divine right of Presidents has not
yet culminated, but still awaits Andrew
Johnson’s triumphant vindication before
the Senate by an acquittal, to make that
office substantially equal in prerogatives to
those claimed by the Stewarts and Bourbons.
“I am the State,” said Louis XIV; “I
am the representative of France," ex
claimed Napoleon; “I am the representa
tive of the people,” said Andrew Johnson.
The ruling demagogues of the French
Reign of Terror; the ruling demagogue of
the Democratic party ; the imperialists who
worship the one-man power in France ; the
vicious combination of political nondescripts,
called by all names, but under whatsoever
name, black-hearted with treason, who wor
ship the one-man power in America, are all
disciples of that overbearing and unprinci
pled school founded by Louis XIV.
They follow the same principles of policy
under the name of liberty and republican
forms. That equality which was once their
boast, is shown to have been only an equality
ol despotism.
The sensual and the dark rebel in vain—
Slaves bv their own compulsion; in mad
game
They burst their manacles, and wear the name
Os freedom graven on a heavier chain.
INVOLUNTARY BANKRUPTCY— IM
PORTANT DECISION.
An important decision has been given
lately at Troy, by District Judge N. K. Hall.
11. 13. Clafiiu & Cos., of New York, petitioned
that A. L. Wells and A. L. Wells, Jr., be
adjudged bankrupts. The grounds of tho
petition were two: A. L. Wells <Ss Son made
an assignment of all their property last
March, “with intent to delay and hinder their
creditors.” At the same time they sus
pended business, and did not resume pay
ment of their commercial paper within a
period of two weeks. The court held that
the assignment haviug been made by in
solvents against whom suits had been
brought and judgments obta'ned, and whose
intent was to secure the common and equal
benefit of all their creditors, is not void
under the statute of New York, which avoids
conveyances made with the intent to delay,
binder, or defraud creditors; and, notwith
standing Ihe provision ot the thirty fifth
seetio.. of the baiCrupt act, that a sale,
assignment, transfer, or conveyance not made
iu the usual courso of business of the debtor
is prima facie evidence!*of fraud, this assign
ment—haviug been made under such cir
cumstances, and with such intent—was not
properly an act of bankruptcy.
The Court held that the second ground
of the petition was sufficient to entitle the
petitioner to an adjudication. There-is
some doubt about the construction of the
clause which authorizes proceedings ad
invitum against any person " who, being a
banker, merchant or trader, Has fradulent
ly stopped and suspended payment, and
not resumed payment of his commercial
paper within a period of fourteen days.”
It is claimed by some that proceedings
cannot be taken under the clause unless
the original stoppage or suspension of pay
ment is shown to have been fradulent. The
Court, however, agreed with the United
States District Court of South Carolina in
thinking that this clause contemplates two
cases, the one of an original fraudulent stop
page of payment in which proceedings may
be instituted at once, and the other a sus
pension of payment not fraudulent, and
not, per sc., an act of bankruptcy, but
which, if continued for more than fourteen
days, becomes an act of bankruptcy by its
continuance.
The presumption is that a merchant of
fair character, who is solvent and deserv
ing of credit, can, by means of a temporary
loan or otherwise, provide for resuming
payment of his commercial paper within
the fourteen days.
How a Kuklux “Demoralized” a Dar
key.—General Forrest tells an anecdote, in
his inimitable style, of how one of those
mysterious individuals known in Tennessee
as “Kuklux,” scared a darkey out of ten
years’ growth. By the merest accident, the
mysterious fellow, with hideous mask and
grotesque costume, arrived at a large spring
just as a darkey came for water. “Give me
a gourd of that water, uncle,” said he. The
water was handed and immediately drank.
"Give me another.” That was also swal
lowed. “Uncle, hand me a bucket of that
water; I’m a leetle dry,” which also disap
peared ia the same way. “Look here,
uncle, dip up that tub for me; I haven’t
had any water since the battle of Fort
Pillow I” But us tho Kuklux man was
raising tho tub to drink it off, the darkey
scratched gravel away from there.
lie had a small India rubber sack run
ning from his whiskers through his clothes
to his heel, and had his foot in the branch.
The Sopreme Oocrt yesterday granted
the motion of the State ot Georgia for leave
to silo a bill of complaiut against General
U. 8. Grant et. al. The parties who have
been active in bringing this case before the
court expect it to meet with better success
than the injunction case, which, together
with that of Mississippi, was dismissed for
want of jurisdiction, it is contended that
tho present coso involves a question of
property, which will bring it within the
original jurisdiction of the court.— Wash

BOILS—“A COMPOSITION
A boil is generally very small at first
and a fellow hardly notices it, bnt in a few
days it gets to be the biggest of the two,
ana the chap that has it is of very little
account in comparison with his boil, which
then “has him.” Boils appear mysterious
ly npon various portions of the human
body, coming when and where “they darn
please,” ana often in very inconvenient
places, -ometimes a solitary boil is the
sum total of the affliction, but frequently
there is a “rubishin lot of 'era ” to help the
first one. If a boil comes any where on a
person, that person always wishes it had
come somewhere else, although it would
puzzle him to say just where.
30me persons call them “Damboils,” but
such persons are addicted to profanity—the
proper name is boil. If a chap bas a boil,
he generally has a good deal of sympathy
from others, ‘fin a horn. 1 ’ Whoever asks
him what ails him, laughs at him for bis
pains to answer, while many unfeeling
persons make game of him, or lor his mis
fortune, or boil. It is very wicked to make
sport of persons with boils, they can uot
help it, and often feel very badly about it.
Physicians dout give boil patients much
satisfaction as a general thing, although
young physicians who are just beginning to
practice are fond of trying their laucets
upon them. Boils are said to be “healthy,”
and judging from tho way they take hold,
aud hang on, and ache, and burn, and
grow, and raise Cain generally, there is no
doubt that they are healthy and have good
conslitntions. They are generally very
lively and playful at iiigbt, and it is very
funny to see a chap with a good large one,
prospering around pis couch for a place
where his boil will fit without hurting.
Boils tend to “purify the blood, ’ strengthen
the system, calm the nerves, restrain the
profanity, tranquilize the spirits, improve
the temper and beautify the appearance.
They are good things for married men who
spend their evenings away from home, as
they give them an opportunity to rest their
night keys and get acquainted with their
families. It is said that boils save the
patient a “fit of sickness,” but if the sickness
is uot the best to have, it must be an ail
fired mean thing. It is also said that a
person is better after he hag had them, and
there is ao doubt that one does feel much
better after having got rid of then*. Many
distinguished persons have enjoyed these
harbingers of health. Job took the first
premium of the County Fair for having
more achers under cultivation than any
other person. Shakspeare had’era, and
meant boils, when he said, “One woe doth
tread upon another’s heel, so fast they
follow.”
There are a great many remedies for boils,
most of which are well worth trying, because
if they don’t do any good, they don’t hurt
the boils. If a chap goes down the street
with a boil, every man he meets will tell him
of a good thing for it, among which are
Shoemaker’s wacks, Mrs. Winslow’s Syrup,
Tricks, Spalding’s Glue, Charlotte R.isse,
Gum Drops, Water Proof Blacking, Night
Blooming Cereus, Chloroform, Kissengen,
etc., etc.
