A bottle of Bos- chco’s German Syrup kept about your home for immediate use will prevent serious sickness, a large doctor’s bill, and perhaps death, by the use of three or four doses. For curing Consumption, Hemorrhages, Pneumonia, Severe Coughs, Croup or any disease of the Tiiroat or Luugs, its success is simply wonder ful, as your druggist will tell you. German Syrup is uow sold in every town and village on this continent. Sample bottles for trial, 10c.; regular size, 75c. For sale by R. T. Brumby & Co.

I want to know if we haven’t got something to say about that child, when it’s my sister’s own. As for me, I propose Sylvanus Cobb, Jr., Grant, 3»d that’s what the child’s going to he called, you bet.’ “After a bit, old Grant comes vusliin’ back, brings an awful lot of people with him, ami after a good bit ot talking, they got a hat and every body wrote a name on a piece of paper, aud Squire Qiiackcnbosli says: ‘Now yon all understand, the fifth one draws the prizeand then lie says to me, ‘ Sonny, come up and pick out five slips of paper, one at a time.’ Of course, I did as I was told. ‘‘The first one I handed to the preacher, and he read out loud * Claude Melnotte Grant,’ the second one ‘Richard Plantagenety Grant,’ and the third oue ‘ Charles Spurgeon Grant,’ and the fourth one was * J. Butler. An examination of the rc cord showed that the appeal had not been docketed in the Supreme Court, and General Butler, on hearing this, said that Under Rule 9 of the Su preme Court the case could be dock eted and dismissed. Butler n-ked, “What about fees?’’and Mr. Her bert says lie agreed to divide bis fees of 8200,000 with him. Whet, the time came to docket and dismiss the motion under the rule, r. Herbert said that lie was a mem ber of the bar of tlie Supreme Court, but that he had i ever had occasion to appear there, and lje desired to ap pear and argue the motion. Butler told him to keep his hands oft", and had the case dismissed himself. Tlie cause was subsequently restored to the calendar, but tlie consent of the Attorney General was afterward ob tained to have the appeal dismissed Mr. Lamar paid Butler 820,000, and Mr. Herbert did not get bis fee. When he applied to him for it Mr Lamar said that he had given Butler 832,000. When he applied to Gen eral Butler he said that he didn’t have one cent for Herbert, that the 820,000 was all his own. On the trial of the case, Gen. But ler testified that about the 1st of No vember, 1873, lie was asked by Mr Lamar to meet the Attorney General’s motion for a new trial ;’ this was after his interviews with Herbert. Attorney General Williams bail served a notice on him stating that the ground of the motion was newly discovered evidence. Just at that time Liimai gave General Butler notice that a proposition had been made to him that, by the paymeut of 25,000 to soino party or an other, the njipcal would be dismissed. Gen eral Butler testified: “ I informed the Attorney General of this offer, and showed him how the dates co.- responded with the offers of new.y discovered testimony, and asked It.in to wait teu days. He did wait ten days, but uo new testimony came. Noav and Then.—It is only now and then that such men as lion. Alex. II. Stephens, Ex-Gov. Smith and Ex-Gov.
