YELLOW FEVES—Black Vomit
It is too soon to forget the ravages of this
terrible disease, which will no doubt return in
a m re malignant and virulent form in the fall
months of 1879.
MKKItELL'S HEPATIJTE, 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 irora 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 Hep atine not only pre
vents to a certainty any hind 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 Mkrrell’s Hep atink, which
is sold oy all Druggists in 25 cent andsl.oo bot

REMARKABLE CURE OF SCROFULAAc.
Case of Colouel J, C. Branson.
Kingston, Ga., September 15,1871.
Gents:—For 16 years I have been a great suf
ferer irom Scrofula in its most distressing
torms. 1 have been confined to my room and
bed for 15 years with scrofulous ulcerations.
The most approved remedies forsuch cases lgad
been used, and the most eminent bhysieians
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 insufficient to de
scribe the relief 1 obtained from the use of the
Stillingia as it is to convey an adequate idea ol
the intensity oi my suffering before using your
medicine; sufficient to say, I abandoned all
other remedies and continued the use ol your
Extract 01 Stillingia, until lean say truly, “1
am cured of all disease, with nothing to ob
struct the active pursuit of m.v profession
More than eight months have elapsed since
this remarkable cure, without any return oi
the disease.
• For the truth of the above statement, I refer
to any gentleman in Bartow county, Ga., and
to the members of the of Cherokee Circuit,
who are acquainted with me. I shall ever re
main, with the deepest gratitude, l our obedi

A MIRACLE.
Gents:—My daughter wis taken on the 25th
day of June, 1863, with what was supposed to
be Acute Rueumatiam, and was treated tor the
same with no success. In March, lollowimr,
pieces of bone began to work out of the right
arm, and continued to appear till all the
bone from the elbow to the sbuuldcr joint came
out. Many pieces of bone came out of the
right loot and leg. The case was the upro
nouneedone of White Swelling. After hav
ing been confined about six years to her bed,
and the case considered hopeless, I was in
duced to try Dr. Pemberton’s Compound Ex
tract of Stillingia, and was so well satisfied
with its effeets 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 strength,

CARTERSVILLE, GA., THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 4, 1880.
KEEP A JOURNAL.
An English periodical gives its
readers some good hints on how to
conduct a diary or journal. It begins
by saying:
“Autumn is as good a time as any
to begin to keep a journal* and as we
are now near the close of the year it
is appropriate that these hints should
be repeated. Too many people, old
as well as young, have the idea that
it is a hard and unprofitable task to
keep a journal, and especially is this
the case with those who have begun,
but soon gave up the experiment.
They think it a waste of time, and
that no good results from it. But
that depends upon the kind of jour
nal that you keep. Everybody has
has heard of the boy who thought he
would try to keep a diary. He bought
a book, and wrote in it, for the first
day, ‘Decided to keep a journal.’
The next day he wrote,‘Got up, wash
ed, and went to bed.’ The day after
he wrote the same thing; and no
wonder that at the end of the week
he wrote, ‘Decided not to keep a jour
nal,’ and gave up the experiment.
It is such attempts as this, by per
sons who have no idea of what a jour
nal is, or how to keep it, that discour
age others from beginning. But it
is not hard to keep a journal if you
oegin in the right way, and will use
a little perseverance and patience.
The time spent in writing in a jour
nal is not wasted by any means. It
may be the best employed hour of
any in the day, and a welNkept jour
nal is a source of pleasure and advan
tage which more than repays the
writer for the time and trouble spent
upon it.
“The first thing to do in beginning
a journal is to resolve to stick to it.
Don’t begin and let the poor journal
die in a week. A journal, or diary,
should be written in every day, if
possible. Now, dou’t be frightened
at this, for you do a great many
things every day, and this is not a
very awful conditon. The time spent
may be longer or shorter, according
to the matter to be witten up: but
iry anu write ai icaat muc evci^
day. ‘ Nulla dies sine linea? —no day
without a line—is a good motto. It
is a great deal easier to write a little
every day than to write up several
days in one.
“Do not get for a journal a book
with the dates already printed in it.
That kind w ill do very well for a
merchant’s note-book, but not for the
young man or woman who wants to
keep a live, cheerful account of a hap
py and pleasant life. Sometimes you
will have a picnic or excursion to
write about, and will want to fill
more space than the printed page al
lows. Buy a substantially bound
blank-book, made of good paper;
write your name aud address plainly
on the fly-leaf, and, if you choose,
paste a calendar inside the cover.
Set down the date at the top of the
first page, thus: ‘Tuesday, October 1,
1880.’ Then begin the record of the
day, endeavoring, as far as possible,
to mention the events in the correct
order of time —morning, afternoon
and evening. When this is done,
write in the middle of the page,
‘Wednesday, October 2,’ and you are
ready for the record of the next day.
Set down the year at top of each page,
“But what are you to write about?
First, the weather. Don’t forget this.
Write,‘Cold and windy,’ or ‘Warm
and bright,’ as the case may be. It
takes but a moment, and in a few
years you will have a complete record
of the weather, which will be found
not only curious, but useful.
“Then put down the letters you
have received or written, and, if you
wish, any money paid or received.
The day of beginning or leaving
school; the studies you pursue; vis
its from or to your friends; picnics
or sleigh-rides; the bouks you have
read ; and all such items of interest
should be noted. Write anything you
want to remember. After trying this
plan a short time you will be sur
prised at the many things constantly
occurring which you used to over
look, but which now form pleasant
paragraphs in your book. But don’t
try to write -omething when there
is nothing to write. If there is only
one line to be written, write that, and
begih again next day.
“The best time to write in a jour
nal is in the evening. Keep the book
in your table drawer,or on your desk,
and after supper, when the lamps are
lighted, sit do wd and write your plain
account ot the day. Don’t try to write
an eloquent article, but simply give
a statement of what you have seen or
done during the day. For the first
week or two after beginning a jour
nal, the novelty of the tiling will
keep up your interest, and you will
be anxious for the time to come when
you can write in your journal. But
after a while it becomes tedious. Then
is the time when you must persevere.
Write something every day, and be
foie long you will find that you are
becoming so accustomed to it that
you would not willingly forego it.
After that the way is plain, and the
longer you live the more valuable
and indispensable your journal will
become.
“But some practical person asks,
‘What is the good of a journal?’
There is very much. In the first
place, it teaches habits of order and
regularity. The boy or girl who ev
ery evening arranges the proceedings
of the day in systematic order, and
regularly writes them out, is not
likely to be careless in other matters.
It helps the memory. A person who
keeps a journal naturally tries during
the day to remember things he 9ees
until he can write them down. Then
the act of writing helps still further
to fix the facts in his memory. The
journal is a first class teacher of pen
manship. All boys and girls should
take pride in having the pages of
their journals as neat and handsome
as possible. Compare one day’s writ
ing with that of the one before, and
try to improve every day.
“Keeping a journal cultivates hab
its of observation, cor; ect and concise
expression, and gives capital practice
in composition, spelling, punctuation
and all the little things which go to
make up a good letter writer. So one
who keeps ajournal is all the while
learning to be a better penman, and
a better composer, with the advantage
of writing original, historical and de
scriptive articles instead of copying
toe printed letters and sentences of a
writing book.
“But, best of all, a well kept jour
nal furnishes a continuous and com
plete family history, which is always
interesting and often very useful. It
is sometimes very convenient to have
a daily record of the y* ar, arid th*->
young journalist will often have oe
easion LO refer to his account of thing*
gone oy. Jr* maps some cyt-nu.^
when the family are sitting and talk
ing together some one will ask,‘VVhat
kind of-weather did we have last
winter?’ or,‘When was the picnic
you were speaking of? ’ and the jour
nal is referred to. A marriage, a
death, a birth, an accident, a house
burning, a contract, a visit, or some
fact which may, by being preserved,
save one’s life or reputation, or mon
ey, will make the journal very use
ful. But the pleasure of keeping a
journal is itself no small reward. Ii
is pleasant to exercise the faculty of
writing history, and to think that
you are taking the first step toward
writing newspapers and books. The
writer can practice on different kinds
of style and can make his journal a
record, not only of events, but of
his own progress as a writer and
thinker.”
VANDERBILT’S CASH.
Some one has made a very curious
calculation of what Mr. Vanderbilt
could do with his money. Mr. Van
derbilt’s income trom his invest
ments in four per cent, government
bonds is represented at $5,000 daily,
which is $408,25 per hour, $5,47 per
minute, or over five cents per second.
Assuming that he is paid by the sec
ond, he cannot possibly spend hi*
money, as he oouid not select hi
purchases aud lay down his money
fast enough. He could not throw i
away ; to pick it up, cast, recover
and cast again, would take him two
seconds, and if he worked all through
the twenty-four hours without rest,
he could only dispose of one-half ot
his income. By living economically,
saving up for four years, he couM,
placing his five cent pieces side by
side, make a nickle belt around the
earth, or by converting his savings
into one cent pieces and mounting
them in a pile, he could, in twenty
years, erect a road to the moon and
have ¥SOO to invest when he got
there.
Should his amusement take a chari
table twist, he could, out of a year’s
receipts, donate to every man, wom
an and child in the United States 25
cts. and have money left over. Oth
er vast possibilities occur tothegrow
ing fancy of the circulator. In one
day he could go to 8,000 diflerent cir
cuses, eat 10,000 pints of peanuts,
drink 5,000 glasses of lemonade, and
have money left to get his boo s
blacked. He can afford to have 500
000 shirts washed in one day, aid n
the day of his death his income w 1
buy ten first-ciass funerals.— Ithaca

THE GENERAL PEACE AND
PROSPERITY.
New York Journal of Oomaievca.
No nation has a monopoly of for
tune and misfortune. Every coun
try inevitably shares to souk extent
in the prosperity and adversity of
every other. The most prosperous
eras of trade for a country like En
gland, for ius+auce, coincide with pe
riods of the greatest freedom from
war, pestilence and farnino ail over
the world. England furnishes the
best proof of the interdependence of
nations arid their essential solidarity
of interests, because she lives by
means manufactures and commerce.
Every other country i3 her customer,
and buys less or more English goods,
as the purchaser is sick or well, hun
gry or fed, at war or at peace. What
is true of England is true in different
degrees of the United Srates, France,
Germany and every other land. But
England, on account of her geograph
ical position and her special facilities,
illustrates most stikingly the truth
we would enforce.
The British Board of Trade returns
for September tell the story of the
world’s prosperity in figures all can
understand. England’s gain ia her
exports, compared with the corres
ponding month last year is 23j per
cent. September, 1879, was the start
ing point of the trade revival in
Great Britain. That month was dis
tinguished from its stagnant prede
cessors by an increase of 2 per cent,
in imports and 5 per cent, in exports.
Since then British commerce has
mounted upward until the nine
months of 1880 show a gain of 19.5 in
imports and 19.2 in exports (home
productions only) over the figures for
the corresponding nine months of
last year. The improvement affents
all c!a-ses of business. But is most
extraordinary in cotton manufac
tures. In that line of exports En
gland beat her best previous record.
Her export pf cotton voods for last
month am aimed to 42T,204,600 yards
against 359,643,900 yards.Tp Septem
ber, 1879 pearly all of her old cus.
Jsi
China and Japan—the former taking
2,000.000 yards jess, and the latter fail
ing off in about the same proportion.
This decline in two of her favorite
markets is mostly due to the vigo
rous competition of the United
States. The Chinese and Japanese
are fast coming to prefer our cotton
piece goods, having found out that
they are more free from adulteration
than the British makes. But in
Turkey, Brazil, her Indian empire
and in many another country En
gland has the undisputed mastery in
cotton goods. American rivalry is
not likely to affect her seriously in
that respect for the present—cert
ly not if English manufacturers give
up those tricks in trade which are
forfeiting the confidence of China and
Japan.
Looking abroad, we find in all the
continents reasons why England is
prosperous. The world is mostly at
peace. No great war is raging any
where. The insigificant contests in
Afghanistan and South America
have no perceptible effect on British
commerce and trade. The eastern
question is the only disturbing con
tingency, and now promises to be set
tled satisfacorily for the time being.
No land is w’asted by pestilence. The
year has enjoyed a remarkable ex
emption from yellow fever and chol
era. We hear no more of famine
not even in Ireland. India, lately
so hungry and gaunt, now sits sleek
ind contented amidst her enormous
rice crops, and is able to pay for her
unprecedented orders of cotton goods.
Harvests along the Mediterranean
were never so abundant. The Eu
ropean agriculturist and manufactur
er, like those of the United States, go
hand in hand as the recipients of the
blessings of prosperity to which each
contributes his share. Every nation
is doing its very best in the career < f
industry to which it is naturally
a lapted. All are working together
tor the good ol all. The Spencerian
philosophy may assign profound*r
reasons for the good times in vrhich
every country 011 the globe is now
>r is soon to be a participant. P jr
oaps sun spots have something to do
with it. The social scientist may be
*ble to express lhe present corumer
•ial epoch hy a diagram or lay it
down in a curve. These be myste
ries to the uniniated. We only know
tnat a globe free from the curses of
war, famine and pestilen e is pros
pering in business of every descrip
tion, and we have the simple faith
to believe that these conditions will
ilways be fwund correlated and nev
er apart, and tnat the good of one

THE EARTH.
The latest and most trustworthy
statistics of the population Qf the
earth have just been given to the
public fey Herren Behm and Wagne*,
the distinguished German geogra-*
phew, whose work, pbuiished at te
regular intervals, is everywhere ac
cepted as the highest authority on
this subject, From this we iearu that
the world Is being peopled at the en
couraging rate of nearly a million* at 1
month* The total population of the l
globe is how 1**155,323,000* or *6,778,f
000 greater than it was 19 months
ago, when the authors issued their
last publication. The announcement
of this fact will doubless excite fresh
alarm among the disciples of Mai thus
wherever any are to be found. Con**
snierably more than half of the peo
pie of the earth are gathered in Asia.
That country is reported to havfc a*
population of 834,707,000; Europe,
315,929,000; Africa, 205,669,000; Amer
tea, 93,495.500; Australia and Poly**
nesia, 4,031,000, and the Polar regions
—that is Greenland and Iceland—B2,**
000. Of the principal countries of
Europe, Germany is credited with
43,900,000 inhabitants; Austria and
Hungary, 38,000,000; France, 37,000,*
000; Great Britain, 34,500,000 and the
entire Russian dominions about 88,-
000,000, of which nearly 66,000,000
are in Russia proper, European Tur
key has 8,866,000 people, and Asiatic
Turkey 26 320,000, Of Asia’s popu
lation China, with all its dependen
cies, is reported to have 424,626,000;
Japan, 34.338,000 and British India,
240,298,000. The United States con
tains more than half of the American
population. British North America
has 3 339.000, Mexico, 9,485,000, and
Brazil, the most populous of South
American countries, 11,100,000. While
the figures in this work have been
taken from census and other official
reports, whenever such material was
in existence as late as the beginning
of 1880, the authors have, of course,
in many instances b&n under the
necessity of giving estimates which,,

Asia and tome other regions, can be

estimates have generally been made
with care and skill, and afford the
latest and best information to be had
on the subject. The general accuracy
of their computations is shown by
the fact that the authors give the
population of the United States at
48,500,000,exclusive of 800,000 Indians
which is not much amiss for an esti
mate made without any aid from the
census of this year.--Herald.
AFRAID TO KISS A GIRL.
•‘How many old fellows there are
who wish they had been in the place
of the bad boy who a day or two ago
was ordered to kiss a girl by way of
punishment! The boy got two sound
whippings for not oestowing the kiss
according to order. Thousands of
older boys would gladly have taken
two whippings for the chance of giv
ing a kiss; then they would have
been as lively as possible in devis
ing some new mischeif that would
insure them some more whippings if
kisses were to accompany them.
That bad boy’s remorse over his
wrong-doing, whatever the deed
may have been, was probably very
great, particularly while the teacher’s
switch was in view, but it was noth
ing to that which he will suffer in
later days for not having kissed that
girl. Perhaps he did not know how
to kiss, except in a family sort of a
wav ; perhaps he was cublike enough
to prefer fighting to affection, but he
is sure to get bravely over that sort
of thing. May he be sen-ible enough
to realize that the older he grows the
worse his chances will be; girls do
not always remain as kissable as they
oe in their early school days.”— Ne%C

—A colored couple were married
in Barnesvilie a few days ago. The
groom was 110 years of age, and the
blushing bride 40. They were in
mates of the poor bouse at the time.
The division of property caused no
trouble.
