It is too soon to forget the ravages of this terrible disease, which will no doubt return in a more malignant and virulent form in the fall months of 1879. MRRRELL’S HEPATINE, a Remedy dis covered in Southern Nubia and used with such wonderful results in South America where the most aggravated cases of fever are found, causes From one to two ounces of bile to be fil tered or strained lrom the blood each time it passes through the Liver, as long as an excess of bile exists. By its wonderful action on the Liver and Stomach the Hepatine not onlv pre vents to a certainty any kind of Fever and Black Vomit, but also cures Headache, Consti pation of the Bowels, Dyspepsia and all Ma larial diseases. No one need fear Yellow Fever who will ex pel the Malarial Poison and excess of bile from the blood by using Merrell’s Hepatine, which is sold 6y all Druggists in 25 cent andsl.oo bot tles, or will be sent by express by the Proprie tors, A.

REMARKABLE CURE OF SCROFULA.&c. Case of Colonel J. C. Branson. Kingston, Ga., September 15,1871. Gents:— For 16 years I have been a gx-eatsuf ferer lrom Scrofula in its most distx-essing forms. I have been confined to my room and bed for 15 years with scrofulous ulcerations. The most approved remedies for such cases had been used, and the most eminent nhysicians consulted, without any decided benefit. Thus prostrated, distressed, desponding, I was ad vised by Dr. Ayer, of Floyd county, Ga., to commence the use ol your Compound Extract Stillingia. Language is as insullicient to de scribe the relief 1 obtained from the use of the Stillingia as it is to convey an adequate idea oi the intensity of my suffering before using your medicine; sufficient to say, I abandoned all other remedies and continued the use ol your Extract of Stillingia, until I can say truly, “I am cured of all disease, with nothing to on struct the active pui'suit of my profession. More than eight months have elapsed since this remarkable cure, without any return of the disease.

Gents:— My daughter was taken on the 25th day ot June, 1863, with what was supposed to be Acute Rheumatism, and was treated for the same with no success. In March, following:, pieces of bone began to work out of the right arm, and continued to appear till all the bone from the elbow to the shoulder joint came out. Many pieces of bone came out of the right loot and leg. The case was the upro nounced one of White Swelling. After hav ing been confined about six years to lier bed, and the case considei'ed hopeless, I was in duced to try Dr. Pemberton’s Compound Ex tract of Stillingia, and was so well satisfied with its effects that I have continued use of the it until the present. My daughter was confined to her bed about six years before she sat up or even turned over without help. She now sits up all day, and sews most of her time—has walked across the room. Her general health is now good, and I believe she will, as her limbs gain sti-ength, walk well. 1 attribute lier recovery, with the olessing of God, to the use of your invaluable medicine.

TWO MEN WHO HAVE THRILLED THE STATE. An Accidental Meeting on the Street, in Which Two Great Men are Rec ognized as the Types of Two Clashing Theories —Toomb’s Success—Brown’s Judgment. [Constitution.] The other day I saw two men meet on the street, bow cordially and pass. I was struck by the contrast between them—by the difference in their walk, appearance and manner. This suggested that the contrast in their lives, in their lineage and their methods was even greater than their physical make-up. And then, for getting for the moment that a gu bernatorial campaign of great fierce ness was raging, I fell to wondering if there had been two masterful men whose paths lay so near each other, and whose performance was so near ly equal, who had been born to such dissimilar conditions, and moved by such dissimilar motives. Joe Brown and Bob Toombs! Both illustrious and great—both powerful and strong —and yet at every point, and from every view, the perfect opposites of each other. Through two centuries have two different strains of blood, two con flicting lines of thought, two sepa rate theories of social, religious and political life, been working out the two types of men, which have in our day flowed into the perfection of con trast-vivid, thorough and persua sive. For seven generations the an cestors of Joe Brown have been rest less, aggressive rebels—for a long time the Toombs have been daunt less and intolerant followers of the king and kingliness. At the seige of Londonderry—the most remarkable fasting match beyond Tanner—Mar garet and James Brown, grand-pa rents of the James Brown who came to America and was grand-parent of Joe Brown—were within the walls starving and fighting for William and Mary; and I have no doubt there won* lnird-viding Toombs out side the walls, charging in the names of the peevish and unhappy James. Certain it is that forty years before, the direct ancestors of General Toombs on the Toombs estate were hiding good Xing Charles in the oak at Boseabel, where, I have no doubt, the fathers and uncles of the Lon-* donderry Brown, with cropped hair i and severe mein, were progging about the place with th ir pikes, searching every bush, in the name of Cromwell and the psalm-singers. From these initial points sprang the two strains of blood—the one afflu ent, impetuous, prodigal—the other slow, resolute, forceful. From these ancestors came the two men—the one superb, ruddy, fashioned with incomparable grace and fulness—-the other pale, thoughtful, angular, strip ped down to brain and sinew. From these opposing theories came the two'types—the one patrician, impe rious, Swift in action and brooking no stay—the other democratic, saga cious, jealous of rights and submit* ting to no imposition. It does not not matter that the elder Toombs was a rebel in Virginia against the fat George, for that revolt was king ly of itself, and the Virginian eava liers went into it with love-locks fly ing and care cast to the winds, feel ing little of the patient spirit of James Brown, who by his Carolina fireside, fashioned his remonstrance slowly and at last put his life upon the issue. Governor Brown and General Toombs started under circumstances in accordance with the suggestions of the foregoing. General Toombs’ father had a fine estate, given him by the state of Georgia, and had a fine education and started life in liberal trim. Governor Brown had nothing, and for years hauled wood to Dah lonega, and sold vegetables from a basket to the hotel and what others would buy. Young Toombs made money rapidly, bis practice for the first five years amounting to much over soo,ooo. He conquered by the grace of his genius, and went easily from triumph to triumph. Young Brown moved ahead laboriously bu> steadily. He made only about sl.l 200 liis first year and then pushed his practice to $2,000 or $3,000. Hf made no brilliant reputation, bul never lost a client and added to hil income and practice. Hi3 prog red was the result of hard labor and tinuous work. He lived moderatelj and his habits were simple. Genenj Toombs has lived in princely stytt all his life, and has always beei fond of wine and cards. Both men are rich, and both are well preserved for their time of life. General Toombs is 71 and Governor Brown is 59. Each had a lucky stroke early in and ill botll cases it was in a land in vestment. General Toombs bought immense tracts of Texas land, of which he has sold perhaps SIOO,OOO profit and still holds enough to yield double or treble that much more. Governor Brown, when very young, paid $450 for a piece of land, and af terwards sold a half interest in a cop per mine thereon for $25,000. This lie invested in farms and thus laid the basis of his fortune. The first these men ever met was in Milledgeville, in ’sl or ’52, when Governor Brown was a young dem ocratie state senator and General Toombs was a whig congressman— then the idol of his party and the most eloquent • man in Georgia, They were then just such men physi cally as one who had never seen them would imagine from reading their lives. General Toombs was, as Governor Brown has told me, ‘‘the handsomest man he ever saw.” His physique was superb, his grand head fit for a crown, his presence that of a king, overflowed with vitality, his majestic face illumined with his. di- vine genius. Governor Brown was then pallid, uncomely—his awkward frame packed closely with nerve and sinew, and fed vith a temperate flow of blood. They met next at Marietta where Toombs had a fiery debate with that rare master of discussion, the late Robert Cowart. Governor Brown was deeply Impressed with the genius and power of that wonder ful man, but General Toombs thought but little of the awkward young mountaineer. For later when in Texas, hearing that Joe Brown was nominated for Governor, he did not even remember his name, and had to ask a Georgia-Texan “who the devil it was.” But the next time he met him he remembered it. Of course we all re member when the “know nothings” took possession of the whig party, and Toombs and Stephens seceded. Stephens having a campaign fright on him, and being pressed to locate himself, said he vvas neither whig nor democrat, but “was toting his own skillet,” thus introducing that homely but expressive phrase into our political history. Toombs was in the Senate and had time for reflec tion. It ended by his marching into the democratic camp. Shortly after wards he was astounded at seeing the standard of his party upon the success of which his seat in the sen ate depended, put in the hands of Joe Brown, anew campaigner, while the opposition was led by Ben Hill, then as now, an audacious and eloquent speaker, incomparable on the stump. llill and Brown had had a meeting at Athens, I believe, and it was re volted that Brown had been worsted. Howell Cobb wrote Toombs that he must take the canvass in hand at once, at least until Brown could learn low to manage himself. Toombs wrote to Brown to come to his home at Washington, which he did. Gen eral ToombS told me that he was not hopeful when he met the new candi dite,but after talking to him a while, found that he had wonderful judgment and sagacity. After coqueting with Mr. Hill a while, Uey started out on a tour together, gfiug to south Georgia, General lb o mbs has talked to me often about this experience. He says that two or three speeches Governor Brown was as fully equipped as if he md been in public life for forty years a;.d be was amazed at the directness j with which he would get to the j tearts of the masses. He talked in drnple style, using the homliest phrases, but his w’ords went home every time. There was a sympathy between the sj eaker and the people that not even the eloquence of Toombs, or the matchless skill of Mr. Hill disturbed. In Brown the people saw one of themselves —lifted above them by his superior ability, and bis unerring sagacity—but talk ing to them common sense in a sen sible way. General Toombs soon saw that the new candidate was more than able to take care of him self, and left him to make his tour alone —impressed with the fact that anew element had been introduced into our politics and that anew leader had arisen. It is hard to say which has been the more successful of the two men. Neither has ever been beaten before the people. General Toombs has won his victories with more ease. He has gone to power as a king goes to his throne, and no one has gain sayed him. Governor Brown has had to fight his way through. It has been a struggle all of thetime and he has had to summon every resource to carry his point. Each has made unsurpassed records in his depart ments. As senator, General Toombs was not only invincible —he was glo rious. As Governor Brown, was not only invincible—he was wise. Gen eral Toombs’ campaigns have been unstudied and careless and were won by his presence, his eloquence, his greatness. His canvass was always an ovation, his only caucussing vvas done on the hustings. With Gov ernor Brown it was different. He planned his campaigns and then went faithfully through them. His victories were none the less sure, be cause his canvass was more laborious. His nomination as governor, while unexpected, was not accidental. It was the inevitable outcome of his young life—disciplined so marvel ously, so full of thought, sagacity and judgment. If ho had not been nominated then, his time would have come at last, just as sure as cause produces result. His record as governor proves that he was pre pared for the test—just as his bril liant record in the senate proves that lie is fitted for any sphere in which he might be called. To sum it up : Toombs is the em bodiment of genius, and Brown is the embodiment of common sense. One is brilliant, the other unerring one is eloquent, the other sagacious. Toombs moves by inspiration, Brown is governed by judgment. The first is superb—the latter is sage. Despite the fact Gov. Brown is by instinct and inheritance a rebel, he is prudent, conservative, and has a turn for building things up. Gener al Toombs despite his love of kingli ness and all that that implies, has an almost savage instinct for over turning systems and tearing things down. I must not be understood that I deprecate General Toombs’ wisdom. Genius often flies as true lo its mark, as judgment can go. The wisest speech, and the ablest ever made by an American, in my opinion, is Mr. Toombs’ speech on slavery, delivered in Boston about ton years before the war. In that speech he showed a prescience al most divine, and clad in the iight of thirty years of confirmation, it is. simply marvelous. His leadership of the southern whigs in tlie house during the contest of ’SO was a mas terpiece of brilliancy, and even his Eiamilcar speech, delivered after the most exasperating insults, was sub lime in its lofty eloquence and cour age. Safer as a leader, Governor Brown is more sagacious on material points—truer to the practical purpo ses of government; but no man but Toombs could have represented Georgia as ho did for the decade pre ceding 1800. Messrs. Brown and Toombs have disagreed since the war. That Gov ernor Brown may have been wiser in “reconstruction” than Mr. Toombs, many wise men believe, and events may have proved. In this matter my heart wa3 with Mr. Toombs, and I have never reason to recall it. That Governor Brown was honest and patriotic in his advice, my knowledge of the man would not permit me to doubt. The trouble between these gentlemen came very near resulting in a duel. While I join with alt good men in rejoicing that this duel was arrested, I confess that I have been wicked enough to speculate on its probable result—had it occurred. In the first place, General Toombs made no preparations for the duel. He went along in his careless and kingly way, trusting, presumably, to luck and quick shot. Governor Brown, on the contrary, made the most careful and deliberate preparation. He made his will, put his estate in order, with drew from the church, and then clipped all the trees in his orchard practicing with his pistol. Had the duel come < ff—which fortunately it did not—General Toomb3 would have I fired with his usual magnificence and usual disregard of rule. I do not mean to imply that he would not have hit Governor Brown ; on the contrary, he might have perforated him in a dozen places at once. But one thing is sure—Governor Brown would have clasped his long white fingers around the pistol butt, justed it to his gray eye and sent his bullet within the eighth of an inch of the place he had selected. I should not be surprised if he drew a diagram of General Toomb3, and marked off with square and compass the exact spot he wanted to hit. S. A. CUNNINGHAM. General Toombs has always been prodigal and loose in his money mat~ ters. Governor Brown has been pre cise and economical all his life, and gives §50,000 to a Baptist college— not a larger amount propably than General Toomb3 has dispensed casu ally, but how much more compact aud useful. This may be a good fact to stop on, as it furnishes a point of news from which the two lives may be logically surveyed. Two great live3 they are —illustrious and dis tinguished—utterly dissimilar, Geor gia could have spared neither and is jealous of both. I could write of them for hours, but the people are up and the flags are flying and the journalist has no time for moralizing or leisurely speculating. 11. W. G. WHY CANNOT A WOMAN BE COME A MASON ? At a late university celebration of the masons, the orator of the day thus discoursed upon this vexed ques tion : ‘Woman sometimes complains that she is not permitted to enter our lodges and work with the craft in their labors, and learn all there is to be learned in the institution. We will explain the reason. We learn that before the Almighty had finished His work, He was in some doubt about creating Eve. The creation ot every living and creeping thing had been accomplished, and the Almighty had made Adam (who was the first mason,) and created for him the finest lodge in the world, and called it paradise No. 1. He then caused all the beasts of the field and the iowls of the air to pass before Adam for him to name them, which was a piece of work ho had to do alone, so that no confusion might thereafter arise from Eve, whom he knew would make trouble if she was allowed to participate in it, if He created her beforehand. Adam being very much fatigued with the labors of his first task, fill asleep, and when he awoke he found Eve in the lodge with him. Adam, being senior warden, placed Eve as the pillar of beauty in the south, and they received their structions from the grand master in the east, which, when finished, she immediately called the craft from iabur to refreshment. Instead of at tending to the duties of her offices as she ought, she left her station, viola ted her obligation, and let in an ex pelled mason, who had no business there, and went around with him, leaving Adam to look after the jew els. This fellow had been expelled from the grand lodge, with several others, some time before. But hear ing the footsteps of the grand mas ter, he suddenly took his leave, tell ing' Eve to go to making aprons—she and Adam were not in proper rega lia. She went and told Adam, and when the grand master returned to the lodge he found his gavel had been stolen. He called for the senior and junior wardens, who had neglected to guaid the door, and found them absent. After searching some time he came to where they were hid, and demanded Adam what he was doing there, instead of occupying his official station, Adam replied that he was waiting for Eve to call the craft from refreshment to labor again, and that the craft was not properly clothed, which they were making provision for. Turning to Eve he asked her what she had to offer in excuse for unofficial and unmasonic conduct. She replied that a fellow passing himself off as a grand lecturer had been giving her instructions, and she thought it was no harm to learn them. The grand master then asaed her what had become of his gavel; she said she didn’t know, unless the fellow had taken it away. Finding that Eve was no longer trustworthy, and that she had caused Adam to neglect his duty, and had let in him whom he had expelled, the grand master closed the lodge and turning them out, set a faithful tyler to guard the door with a flaming sword. Adam repented of his folly, and went to work again like a man and a good mason, in order to get reinstated Not so with Eve; she got angry about it, and commenced rais ing Cain. Adam, on account of his reformation, was permitted to estab lish lodges and work in the lower degrees; and, while Eve was allowed to join him in the works cf charity outaide, she was never again to be admitted to assist in the regular work of the craft. Hence the reason why woman cannot became an inside mason.’ —Now is the time to subscribe for , the Express.
