Live Stork and Land.
Our farmers are taking more interest
in stock raising this season than for
many years. They have been buying
more fine stock than ever before, and
are determined to raisfe as much of their
supplies as possible at home the com
ing year. There is a growing demand
tor working stock, such as mules.
Land has been in greater demand than
for numbers of years, and to the farm
ers that are leaving old Georgia we can
say that they could make a good living
and money too, on their own soil, if
they were only industrious. Texas has
no better producing lands than our
State, only in some isolated spots, and
the majority of the emigrants will re
turn to their “dear old Sunny South"
before many years. We mention this
Improved request for mules and lands
to show the gradual .improvement of
the country. Men have ceased to be
satisfied with what will do them.

Almost a Shuffle of the Coll.
Yesterday morning, just before the
departure of the YVvliy, a crowd of ne
groes were standing near a lire on the
wharf, when a female of African de-
scension and of about thirteen years,
caught fire and would have been seri
ously burnt, but for the manly snatch
es made by the crowd for “does
robes.” The rescuing party was head
ed by an old negro woman, who looked
as if about forty-five years of ago was
spent in a gas house, but seemed to
command the valiant knights. One
would jerk one way, another throw
her down, then pick her iqi, and one
hallooing “froe her in do river,” until
the flames were extinguished. Had her
wearing apparel been one less in num
ber, she would have been forced to call
Mother Eve for fig leaves. After gath
ering up the remnants of “dose robes”
and her “tiny” garters she made a
break for the bluff, jumpping the
ditches as nimbly as our Senior’s pet
Billy, but without the slightest regard
for grace.
Runlnes* in Earnest.
The late cold snap has made it evi
dent that people, to keep warm, must
have Clothes, and where to get Clothes
at the best advantage is a question
which is agitating the earnest reflecting
minds. Many sensible people have
settled down upon tlie conclusion that
the Fashionable Emporium of Thomas
& Prescott is the place, where extraor
dinary bargains in ready-made Cloth
ing may be had. It is a well-known
fact that these gentlemen have one of
the best stocks of Gents’ Clothing, Fur
nishing Goods, Underwear, <fec., to be
found in the South, and their prices
are so low that purchasers are astonish
ed at the bargains thrust upon them.
Now we say to the naked and thread
bare, if you want to be fitted up in gen
teel style for winter you should call on
Thomas & Prescott.
Attention. Choral Union,
Attend your regular meeting to-mor
row (Monday) evening, at 7} o'clock.
It is hoped that every member will
attend.
j no. H. Johnston, Sec'y.
Mr. John SI. Clnir
Announces himself as a candidate lor
City Sexton. Mr. St. Clair is well
known in the community as a reliable
gentleman and if selected as Sexton
will make a good and faithful officer.
1 f you want honest Loaves at reason
able prices, call on
Mrs. Stevenson.
Fomins Entertainment.
Augustin Daly has accepted the offer
of Burr Brown, and will play Miss Fan
nie Davenport and his entire Fifth Av
enue Company in Macon on February
H. in Pique. We hope Mr. Springer
" ill get the company here. They will
draw crowded houses.
The 3Iarsbalshi|>.
Our columns contain announcements
from two gentlemen who aspire to this
position. Mr. W. L. Robinson has
served in this position, and proved an
acceptable officer. Mr. Tift T. Moore,
the present incumbent, also announces
himself for re-election. Mr. M. is too
well known by The citizens of our city
as an official, who discharges his duty
with fearlessness and discretion.
Tlie city marshal should be a man in
whom the highest confidence can be
placed, for of all the city offices it is
the easiest, if a man is disposed to
make it so ; or, in other words, neglect
his duty, which, if he has any shrewd
ness at all, he can do without detection.
Let the man proved to be best fitted
for the position be elected.
Bcantifnl Hat* and Bonnet*.
Some of the choicest and prettiest of
the season, will be on exhibition at iny
store during this week. Mrs. Lee.
Complimentary.
The Choral Union will give their next
regular monthly concert, complimen
tary to the honorary members, to-mor
row night. A full attendance is desired
as the organization will present a pro
gramme highly entertaining. AVeknow
of no institution that has ever reflected
more honor upon our city, nor one
that does our city more honor to main
tain. It needs the countenance, friend
ship and support of our people. Noth,
ing so encourages amateurs as the pres
ence of large assemblages.

That pair of horses belonging to Mr.
Gamrnel, which are so noted for run
ning away, made another dash yester
day from the Southwestern depot and
ran toward and under the culvert of the
same road, and thereabout hurled the
driver from his position. He was con
siderably bruised. They were xvork-
ing to a dray this time.
Another team, which wc were in
formed belonged to Mr. George Car
gill, took a little scamper about Dave's
saloon. The}’ were hauling empty beer
kegs. All owing to an influence of
spirits.
That Cut.
It has not caused any suffering, be
cause it will “heal” the purse. We al
lude to the “cut” of J. Kyle <fc Co. in
these columns, which tells all about
their “new’shirt.” They are dragging
these shirt (we mean their coat) tails
about for some one to step on them and
“banter” for competion. Now, to pre
vent any difficulty about this matter,
just go and examine J. Kyle A Co.'s
beautiful lino of shirts. AA’e will not
give the name and style of the shirt, as
it can be seen in the advertisement.
The Holidays <
Will soon be here, and those in want of
Tovs, Fireworks, <fcc., should call on
Mrs. Stevenson, at the un-town Bakery.
Debate Monday Slfhi.
Major E. W. Miller, of Marion coun
ty, will meet Hon. T. AV. Grimes in
discussion at the court house On to
morrow (Monday) night. The discus
sion will doubtless be interesting, as
both of the gentlemen are not only fine
orators, but are strong-minded men,
who will do their ntmost for the dis
trict.
Religion* Intelligence.
Rev. Mr. Dempsey married four
couples, in Cobb county, on Thanks-
| giving Day, which caused four mothers
to give thanks.
It is stated that a Presiding Elder, in
presenting a candidate for the minis
try, stated that he was a newspaper
man, and had made a living at that
business, which qualified him for a
successful preaehei;. Well, there are
Crymes, Edge, Park, Callaway, An
thony, Knowles, Cloud, Read, Cald
well, Christian, and twenty more edi
tor preachers in the State.
The Rev. James Prophet, of the North
Georgia Conference, having turned out
a false prophet, has handed in his cre
dentials and been turned out by the
Conference.
Thanksgiving Day was generally ob
served throughout the State by the va
rious shooting clubs, and in other en
joyable ways. In Savsnnah picnics to
| Tyboc and Thunderbolt, and prize
| shooting at the Sehutzen Park enabled
j all classes to render thanks in their
; own peculiar way. There xvas plenty
! room for all who preferred to attend
j church, and no one was crowded.
The Rev. U. S. Bird, who did such
noble service at Fernandina during the
yellow fever epidemic, has this year
been stationed at Lake City by the
Florida Methodist Conference.
Richard Grant White, in speaking of
the generosity of actors to the late Ed
win Adams, makes this startling, but
well-founded statement: “A profes
sion, it may here be remarked, which
notwithstanding its temptations, fur
nishes fewer criminals in proportion to
its numbers than any other—even that of
the ministers of religion.”

Arc Half Our Colton Receipt* Ware
housed.
To last night 36,234 bales of cotton
had been warehoused in Columbus. It
has been complained that this is a slow
receipt year and totals will show large
ly. Let us see how the past years
prove. In the season of 1874-5 the total
received was 58,107 bales and half of
that was warehoused by Nov. 26th. In
1875- 6 the total receipts were 51,873 and
half was counted by Nov. 28th. In
1876- 7 the total was 72,524, half of which
had come in by Nov. 20th. So there is
really not much difference after all in
the season as we find a difference of on
ly two days in two seasons, and six and
eight days in a third. Rating this year
at the Same ratio the total receipts will
vary between 60,000 to 66,000 bales. If
the out-turn prove different it will be an
exceptional year. Cotton now comes
in much moro rapidly than the years
just succeeding the war. For the first
few seasons after the revolution half of
the staple was not xvarehoused until the
3d or 10th of December. Now it is fully
two weeks earlier. AVeare thus partic
ular to give our merchants and busi
ness men an idea of xvhicli they may
expect.
Col. F. G. Wiltalu* for Mayor.
This gentleman is announced as a
candidate for Mayor of Columbus. His
life and character are too favorably
known in our city, which has honored
him too often with the chief office in
her gift, for comment from us. Again
and again has ho been elected as Mayor
of the city, and'even when defeated he
has made gallant races. He has served
the city well and ably, and has at heart
her best interests. AVe can but repeat
Col. AA’ilkins and his entire history are
known to our people, and like all posi-
tive characters has made friends as well
as enemies, but all know he is as true
as steel to his convictions of duty, and
his aims have been for the best inter
ests of Columbus.

December.
The month commenced yesterday
AVith the Romans it was the tenth
month, whence its name from the
Latiq decern, ten; and after the change
in the calendar, by which the begin
ning of the year was transferred from
March to January, it still retained its
old name. As the winter solstice falls
in this month, the average length of
the days is less and the nights greater
than in any other month of the year,
Christmast comes op Tuesday three

LOCAL BRIEFS.
Candidates are treating, so we are in
formed.
—Our municipal election is exciting
considerable interest.
—It’s a wise child that knows its own
pap.
—The teacher is the candle which
lights others in consuming itself.
—Of 69 words which make up the
Lord’s Prayer, only five are not Saxon.
—A sloppy day is more appetizinglv
called a “juicy day,” out AA’est.
—First irate Female: “I’d hate to be
in your shoes!” Second ditto: “You
couldn’t get in them!”
—The Government steamer, Clara
Dunning, is at the wharf.
—The most scrupulous proof reader
never thinks of correcting typograph
ical errors in Russian names.
—The chufa is recommended for
hogs. It grows abundantly and ena
bles every hog to cliufa himself.
—All the clothing and coal men we
met yesterday were in the best of hu
mors—this cold weather is the secret.
—Mr. Talmage remarks in prayer j
that it is dubious whether or not men j
will do by us as they want to be done i
by.
—The steamer AVylly left yesterday j
morning with a good freight and a j
large passenger list.
—Yesterday numbers of countrymen
were in the'city, and the merchants
were generally busy.
—Mayor Brannon publicly announces
he will not be a candidate for re-elec
tion, which determination the people
regret.
—It is cheaper to buy birds than to
shoot them; and in the' market a man
can choose liis birds.
—Our “counting men” will please
“count’em in” as accurately as possi
ble in the churches this morning and
evening, as we hoar of some com
plaints.
—Eighteen button kid gloves are tlie
latest. They come up to the shoulder
and meet the short sleeves. If they
are to bo worn in the evening, ladies
should commence to fasten them at 3
p. m.
—“Silk stockings, with lace medal
lion covering the instep, are §30 a pair,”
remarks a fashion journal, and yet won
der is expressed that the demand for
marriage licenses is so small.
—Men’s hats, coats and vests are worn
by ladies who are understood to illus
trate the fashions of the day. It is ex
pected that gentlemen will break out
in low neck and short sleeve coats early
in the spring, and will have their front
hair nicely banged.
—A bailiff on yesterday was request
ed to divide the property belonging to
a colored “geman,” and liis lady, as
they wished to “part foreber.” He did
as requested and they now are living in
different porttons of the city* “whole
heart and fancy free.”
Merchants that will not invite the
public to examine their goods of course
do not wish to be troubled. “Don't in
trude on their privacy,” but if you need
anything examine our “ad” columns
and if no notice is found then of course
the supposition is that it is not to be
found in the city.
—The Nashville American says:
“Saturday afternoon at 4 o’clock the
Elevator Mills receix’ed a dispatch from
Columbus, Ga., ordering a car load of
flour. The order was wired out to the
elevator, a dispatch sent from there to
the depot for a car, and by five o’clock
the loaded train was on its way to Co
lumbus. Rather quick work both on
the part of the firm and the Louisville,
Nashville & Great Southern.” That
was decidedly qnick work.

Flatboat with Thirty Emigrant* Brok
en Up and Fire Lire* Lost.
Pittsburg, Nov. 28.—John B.
Painter, of this city, with a party of
colonizers, thirty souls in all, left this
city this afternoon in a flatboat, in
tending to travel by river to Arkan
sas. They launched the boat about
two o’clock, and had only floated a
short distance, when one of the steer
ing oars broke, and the boat began
to drift with the current. Just as
they entered the Ohio river the flat-
boat struck a fleet of coal barges, and
the flatboat parted in three pieces and
broke up, throwing the emigrants
into the water. Some of them climbed
out on the coal barges and others were
rescued by skiffs. A Swiss family

He Wanted Shortcake.
Yesterday forenoon people passing
out of the north doors of the City
Hall observed a man about fifty years
of age, clad as a fanner, seated on
the stone steps, and chexving away at
such a monstrous quid of gum that
his hair flexv up ex r ery time his jaws
came together. He was enjoying
himself as xvell as anybody can in a
country, full of ague, politicians and
lightning rod men, xvhen a young
man about txventy years old, and a
woman of fifty, exddently his mother,
got out of a one-horse wagon on the
west side, made the faded old animal
fast to a post, and started into the
Hall to see the Chief of Police. Fate
led them around the flat-iron corner
to the north door, and as they ascend
ed the steps they xvalked directly upon
the gum chewer. All of them gave
start of surprise, and it xvas half a
minute before the little old woman
called out:
Look at him, Tunius—see hoxv
shamed and sneaking he looks!”
Who’s ashamed!” demanded
the old man as he stopped chexving
and missed a motion.
“You be, and you knoxvit!” she
snarled. “You went to bed mad, got
up in the night and sneaked out, and
you must ha\ r e looked party digging
into town through the mud by moon
light!”
Don’t I oxvn myself?” he grimly
asked betxx’een his chews.
See here, dad,” said the son, xvhose
mouth seemed to water for part of the
gun, “you know you made a fool of
yourself, and you might as xvell own
it up, and come along home. If this
thing gets out the neighbors xvill bore
you to death.’’
“l’m right on the death!” sorroxv-
fully answered the father, reaching
into'his mouth with his fingers to
turn the quid ox er. “If I .can’t be
respected in my oxvn house I might
as xvell drink boss medicine and die!”
“What nonsense!” urged the xvife.
“You knoxv you got mad first.”
“Hadn’t j aright to?” he solemnly
asked. When the man of the house,
ho lies broken his back to make
eighty-seven acres of hoxvling xx ilder-
ness pan out produce till you can’t
rest—when he says he’ll have short
cake for supper hasn’t he a right to
expect that the shortcake will be thar
when he sits down to the table?”
“But I understood you to say pan
cakes, and I made pan cakes,” she
protested.
Yes, I saw ’em thar!” he softly
said as he spit xx’uy off down tlie
steps.
“It’s putty small, dad, putty small,”
observed the son as he felt in his
pockets for something to chew on.
“There’s the boss and wagon out
there, and you want to come along
home. The fust thing you know
ex’erybody will he calling you 'Short
cake Jones,’ and I’ll be run down,
and ma’ll be run down, and xve can’t
sell the farm for ten dollars.”
“Yes, come along, William,’’plead
ed the old lady.
“I’d kinder like to go back to th®
old place and see if things look natu
ral,” he mused, “but I dunno. As
long as I don’t amount to nothin’
nor nobody around thar, j might as
xvell stay in the city. Here they all
take me for a big gun, and ox-er forty
ladies liax-e smiled at me this morn
ing.”
“The jades!” gasped his wife.
“Dad, that’s a whopper, and you
know it!”said the son, xvhose jaxx’s
had instinctively been keeping time
with those of his father, “you are
either going home or I’ll hax-e the
police put you where you xvan’t see
short cake'once in ten years!”
“See thar—didn’t I say so—didn’t I
say I was nuthin’ more’n a scrub in
my own house!” exclaimed the old
man. *
“Come along—you shall liax’e lots
of short-cake,” xvhispered the wife,
pulling at his arm.
“No—can’t do it—not without guar
antees,” he stiffly replied.
“What do you want, William?”
“Well, ’spose I want short-cake for
supper?”
“You can have it.”
“’Spose I xvant to sit with my feet
on the lounge?”
“You may, William.”
“’Spose I want to lay abed Sunday
morning till ten o’clock?”
“You may, and T’ll bring your
breakfast to you.”
He xx’as tempted.
“The cows xvas loxving all around
for you this morning,” she xvhisper
ed, '“and the hogs didn’t act natural a
bit. I beliex-e the x-ery hens missed
you.”
He rose up.
“Are you coming, dad?” asked
“Tumus,” xvho hail been looking
down upon the street.
“Yaas, I guess so, but I xi’ant it un
derstood that I run the house. If I
say short-cake for supper she’s got to
short right up to the handle, and no
jawin’ around.”
“It’s all right—all right,” said the
wife as she urged him along.
“Yes, all right—prodigal father re
turning to his son,” added the boy.
“Say, .you—divide up on that gum.”

Boston wo* Pleased With.
Boston, November 26.—Notwith
standing the storm, Music Hall was
about two-thirds filled by an audience
largely composed of the male sex.
The lecture occupied an hour and a
half in delivery, and xvhile not cre
ating much enthusiasm, left a most
fax’orable impression.
Mr. Hall, who was attired in fault
less ex’ening dress, and without any
ornament upon his person, began
speaking as though addressing a jury,
and during his long monologue,
nex’er referred to the manuscript. It
had been generally supposed that he
j xvas going to refer to the Nexv York
j complications, but he presented in
stead what, ex-en in Boston, will be
regarded as a scholarly and eloquent
production. He substantially enacted
in the Rotunda of the Pantheon of
history a trial to determine xxhich of
the Presidents should hax’e the wreath
which Fame had prepared for the
tomb of him who had done most to
honor his country and his people,and
the verdict xvas to be based upon
the relation of each to the time
in which . he lived. Father
Time xvas Judge; Clio, the shorthand
reporter; Aurora, the clerk; Harpo-
crates (God of Silence), the crier;
Apollo, the constable; and the jury
xvas selected from the eighteen Chris
tian centuries, each of which xvas
mythically represented by a person
age bearing in his person, dress, or
manner the historical attributes com
mon to his epoch.
The description of the counsel for
Fame xvas undoubtedly that of Mr.
Stoughton, and xvas very handsomely
done, as were the descriptions of D.
D. Field for Madison, Senator Bayard
for Jefferson, and Gen. Sickles for
Buchanan. The jury challenges xvere
humorously done, and the foibles of
the counsel happily hit off.
One of the features xvas the appear
ance of a lady member of the bar
from Colorado for Monroe and the
era of good feeling. She xx-as inter
rupted by a mythical president of the
society for the protection of man
against the oppressions of worn an,
and in a dialogue ensuing xvas inter
woven a neat defence of the claims of
woman to entrance into learned pro
fessions.
The counsel for John Tyler was ex’-
identlj a burlesque on some London
barrister, xvith his exceptions and as
saults on a xvitness. This was ex*i-
dently the poet Bryant, xvho xx r as
felicitously introduced in a most com
plimentary and respectful manner,
from xvhoni in his charge to the Jury,
Time quoted, John Jay appeared for
Washington, and Richard Henry
Dana, Jr., for Lincoln. Thexvitness-
es, who had known ex-ery incumbent
except Washington, gax-e the salient
points of each President. Cupid acted
as interpreter, as juror, spoke x’arious
languages, and that of the God of
Lo\-e xvas universal. Mr. Tilden xvas
counsel for Gen. Jackson, and read
his celebrated letter to Monroe for
cix’il service reform.
The jury retired, and, as usual, di-
x’ided, but at length balloted, and
stood six for Washington and six for
Lincoln. The Court and famous
counsel accepted tlie compromise, and
so the xvreath was dix’ided, and then
poetic and oratorical epilogue con
cluded a performance of xvhich it
would be impossible to condense any
of the immense variety of dramatic,
didactic, historic, and sarcastic pas
sages.
THE VNCERTAINTIES OE TIFT: A NO
INSFRANCE.
Wbnt necame'of Fifteen Millions.
Correspondence of the Hartford Times.]
Nexv York, November 22.—If
there is any chance of your getting
into a row some day and being shot,
don’t insure your life. If you do, ten
to one the company xvon’t pay your
heirs a blessed dollar, unless the laxv
says it must. Here, now, is the Nexv
York Life Insurance Company, one
of the largest concerns in the country,
making a fight on that very point.
The particulars are brief enough.
Wisner Murray, of Goshen, had his
life insured in the Nexv York for a
large amount. Bitter enmity broke
out between him and Robert H. Ber-
dell, ex-President of the Erie Rail
road. It xvas a woman matter at the
bottom, and consequently- the bad
blood stirred up xvas of the x r ery xvorst
kind. One day, about txx’o years ago,
when Berdell stepped from a train at
Goshen, and entered the depot to
reach his carriage at the other side,
he found himself quickly seized by a
brother of Wisner Murrajqxx’hileat the
same instant Wisner himself attacked
him with a rawhide. Berdell broke
away from the one who had caught
him, and drew a revolx’er. When
Wisner saxv the shooting iron, he
promptly gax*e up the coxvhiding con
tract and ran. He had reached a side
door and xvas almost out of range,
when a ball from Berdell’s revolx’er
brought him down. The xx’ound
prox-ed fatal, and, a short time after
Murray’s death, his heirs claimed the
insurance. But claiming and getting
are two x’ery different things. After
backing and filling for a considerable
time, the then New York Life finally
gave its ultimatum. It would not
pay the heirs one dollar, on the
ground that Murray had forfeited his
right under the insurance agreement
by deliberately putting his life in dan
ger. The heirs are noxv sueing, and
a long fight is looked for. At first
glance the refusual to pay looks rather
like sharp practice. But that is what
life insurance companies seem to be
created for, so, I suppose, there is no
occasion for surprise.
THIRTEEN BROKEN COMPANIES.
The thirteen life companies which
have collapsed since that sort of thing
began are still in the hands of re
ceivers. There is not the least prob
ability that any of the baker’s dozen
xvill ever get' a fresh start. Each
proved so utterly rotten xvhen day
light was let into it, that it could
nsver again get business, even though
the insurance department gax’e per
mission to go ahead. The xvhole
tiiirteen companies are managed (or
manipulated) by respectable men—
men of good social standing—xvho at
tend fashionable churches, and think
it xvould be a good thing to take the
ballot axvay from the working classes.
Not having the figures at hand just
now, I cannot say exactly how many
millions these respectable, religious,
suffrage-restriction gentlemen have
stolen, or permitted to be stolen, from
the confiding policy-holders, xvho
xvere credulous enough to trust them.
But the gross amount is no trifle.
The liabilities of the Continental foot
up $5,300,000, and the receix’er thinks
that if the policy-holders live long
enough they may ultimately get
thirty-five cents on the dollar. The
liabilith s of the Security amount to
something ox’er §4,000,000, and it is
doubtful if over twenty cents on the
dollar will ex-er be paid. It would
not be much out of the xyay to put
down the aggregate stealings, or mis
appropriations, or xvhatever they
may lie called, at $15,000,000. A
large part of this sum xvas unquestion
ably squandered in loose manage-

From the Burlington Hawkeye.]
It was in the Cedar Rapids sleeper.
Outside it xvas as dark as the inside of
an ink bottle! In the sleeping car
people slept.
Or tried it.
Some of them slept like Christian
men and women, peacefully and
sweetly and quietly.
Others slept like demons, malig
nantly, hideously, fiendishly,
though it was their mission to keep
ex’erybody else awake.
Of these the man in lower number
three xvas the “boss.” When it came
to a square snore with variations, you
wanted to count “lower three” in,
With a full hand and a pocket full of
rocks.
We never heard anything snore
like him. It xvas the most systematic
snoring, that xvas ever done, even on
one of those tournaments of snoring,
a sleeping car. He didn’t begin as
soon as the lamps were turned down
and ex’erybody xvas in bed. Oh no,
There was more cold-blooded diabol
ism in his system than that. He
xvaited until' ex’erybody had had
little taste of sleep, just to see how
good and pleasant it was, and then
he broke in on their slumbers like
winged, breathing demon, and they
nex’er knew xvhat peace xx-as again
that night.
He started out xvith a terrific
“Gn-r-r-r-t!”
That opened ex-ery eye in tlie car.
We all hoped it xx’as an'accident, how
ever, and trusting that he wouldn’t
do it again, we all forgax-e him. Then
he blasted our hopes and curdled the
sxvept serenity of our forgiveness by
a long drawn
“Gxx’-a-h-h-hah! ’ ’
That sounded too much like busi
ness to be accidental. Then every
head in that sleepless sleeper xvas held
off the pilloxv for a minute, waiting in
breathless suspense, to hear the worst,
and the sleeper in “loxx-er three”
went on, in long-draxvn regular ca
dences that indicated good staving
qualities.
“Gxx a-a-ali! Gwa-a-a-ah! Gahwah-
wah! Gahwahwah! Gahxv a-a-ah!”
Evidently it was going to last all
night, and the weary heads dropped
back on the sleepless pilloxvs and the
swearing began. It mumbled along
in loxv, muttering tones, like the dis
tant echoes of a profane thunder
storm. Pretty soon “loxxer three”
gax’e us a little x’ariation. He shot
off a spiteful
“Gwook !!”•
Which sounded as though his nose
had got mad at him and was going
to strike. Then there xvas a pause,
and xve began to hope he had either
awakened from sleep or strangled to
death, nobody cared \’cry particularly
xvhich. But he disappointed every
body with a gutteral
“Gurooch!”
Then he paused again for breath,
and xvhen he had accumulated enough
for his purpose he resumed business
with a stentorious
. “Koxx’pf!”
That nearly shot the roof oft the
car. Then he xvent on playing such
fantastic tricks xvith his nose, and
breathing things that would make
immortal gods weep, if they did but
hear him. It seemed a mattejr in
credible, it seemed an utter prepos
terous impossibility, that any human
being could make the monstrous,
hideous noises xvith its breathing ma
chine that the fellow in “loxver three”
was making with his. He ran through
all the ranges of the nasal gamut, he
went up and down a very chromatic
scale of snores, he ran through intri
cate and fearful x’ariations until it
seemed that his nose must be out of
joint in a thousand places. All the
night and all the night through he
told his story.
“Gaxvoh! gurrah! gu-r-r-r! Koxx’pft!
Gawaxvxx’ah ? gawah-hah! gwock ?
gwarrt! gxvali h-h-11 whoof!”
Just as the other passengers had
consulted together how they might
slay him, morning dawned, and
“loxx’er number three” axvoke. Every
body watched the curtain to see what
manner of man it was that had made
that beautiful sleeping car a pandimo-
neum. Presently the toilet was com
pleted, the curtains parted, and
'‘lower number three” stood rex’ealed.
Great heax r ens!
It was a fair, young girl, with gol
den hair, and timid, pleading eyes,
like a hunted fawn’s!

The Following Approved Statement
will speak for itself:
Boston, March 23,1*74.
. R. Stevens:
Dear Sir—A few days after the Fourth of
July last I got my log hurt by a fellow-work
man letting a plank tall, which struck me
on the knee. For four months following I
was under the treatment of the physician*
at the Dispensary, at the end of which time
they told me thty could do nothing more
for me, and that I
, must go to the hospital
and have my leg amputated above the knee,
I was removed to the hospital, and lay there
ten weeks under the treatment of the best
skill the hospital afforded, and no pen can
describe the great suffering I endured. My
leg was swollen to nearly the Blze of my
body, and all the surface of my knee turned
black, and I wad' told that my knee was so
diseased as to render it impossible to save
my leg, and unless it was amputated soon
I would die. When I first went, to the hos
pital, I raised such an objection to the am
putation of my leg, they consented to try
one alternative^ which was to cut out sE the
diseased flesh and replace it xvith sound
flesh from the other leg. They did cut six
pieces Worn my well leg, and place it where
the diseased flesh had been removed: hut
the bone was so much diseased that this ex
periment proved a failure, and I was re-
moxred to my home in a hopeless condition.
Other phyBicians were then employed, un
til all the money which I had saved from
earnings had been expended, and one
ment, but another large part xvas cer
tainly spent by the officers in ex
travagant living. Hoxvex’er, the sub
ject is no longer fresh to anyone, and
perhaps I had best not take up any
more space xvkh it.

bills until my tamily was In a destitute con- --
dition, with no hope for myself except reita;
by death. At this time Mr. HilTfthe polIce
officer in my street, called in to see me, and,
after rendering pecuniary assistance to my
family, brought some Vegetine for me,
urging me to give it a faithful trial, saying
when those two bottles were gone he would
see that I had some more. Alter I had been
taking the Vegetine three days the nicer*
in my knee commenced to discharge, and I
cannot begin to describe the frightful quan
tity that was discharged daring the follow
ing eight days; and though previously I had
suffered indescribable pain, rendering sleep
impossible, after taking the Vegetine
three days the pain all left me, and my
whole complaint seemed to be ponrlng out
of mo with this corrupted matter. The
Vegetine was not only forcing disease from
me, but it gave me strength from day to day.
When I commenced on the fourth bottle of
Vegetine the swelling had all left my leg,
and the sore which covered the whole sur
face of my knee commenced to heal next to
the bone. I am now on the sixth bottle: the
sore is entirely healed, and mv health so
improved as to enable me to wa'lk ail over
town. The Vegetine has nred an Uft. It
has cured my leg,and restored me to health;
my knee bears the mark of my great suffer
ing, and it will always afford me pleasure to
show the proof of what this good medicine I
has done for me.
I am, dear sir, Very gratefullv,
JOHN WELCH,
. 93 Keetand Street.
The Policeman’s Statement.
The above statement is true. I procured
the Vegetine for him, and carenilly ob
served his condition from the time he com
menced to use it until he was cured.

VEGETINEf
Safe and Sure.
Mr. H. R. Stex’ens:
In 1872 your Vegetine was recommeded
to me, and, yielding to the persuasions of a
friend, I consented to try It. At the time I
was suffering from general debility and
nervous prostration, superinduced by over
work and irregular habits. Its wonderful
strengthening and curative properties
seemed to affect my debilitated system from
the first dose, and under its persistent we I
rapidly recovered, gaining more than usual
health and good feeling. Since then I have
not hesitated to give Vegetine my most
unqualified endorsement as being a safe
sure and powerful agent in promoting
health and restoring the wasted system to
new life and energy. Vegetine is the only
medicine I use, and as long a* I live I never J
expect to find a better.
Yours truly,
W. H. CLARK,
120 Monterey Street, Alleghany, Penn.
