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 month* of 1879. MKRRELL'B HEPATINE, a Remedy dis covered in Southern Nubia and used with such wonderful results in South America wliere the most aggravated cases of fever are found, causes irom one to two ounces of bile to be fil tered or strained irom 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 llep atink not only pre vents to a certainly 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.

Dr. Pemtan’s Sillingia or Queea’s Deligk The reports of wonderful cures of Rheu matism, Scrofula, Salt Rheum, Syphilis, Cancer Ulcers and Sores, that come irom all parts ol the country, are not only remarkable but so miraculous as to be doubted was it not for the abundance of proof. REMARKABLE CURE OF SCROFULA,4c. Case of Colonel J, C. Branson. Kingston, Ga., September 16,1871. Gents:—For 16 years I have been a great suf ferer Irom Scrofula in Its most distressing forms. I have been confined to my room and bed for 15 years with scrofulous ulcerations. The moat approved remedies for such cases had been used,-and the most eminent nhysieians consulted, without any decided bene'flt. Thus prostrated, distressed, desponding, I was ad vised by Dr. Ayer, of Floyd county, Ga., to commence the use ot your Compound Extract Stillingia. Language is as insufficient bo de scribe the relief 1 obtained from the use of the Stillingia as it is to convey an adequate idea ol the intensity of my suffering before using your medicine; sufficient to say, I abandoned all other remedies and continued the use ot your Extractor Stillingia, until I can say truly, “1 am cured of all disease, with nothing to od struct the active pursuit of my profession. More than eight months have elapsed since this remarkable cure, without any return of the disease. For the truth of tjie aoove statement, I refer to any gentleman in Bartow county, Ga., and to the members of the oar of Cherokee Circuit, who are acquainted with me. I shall ever re main, with the deepest gratstude, Your obedi ent servant, J. C. BRANSON, Att’y at Law. A MIRACLE. Gents:—My daughter was taken on the 25th day ol 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 ol the right loot and leg. The case was the upro nouucedone 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 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 ol her time—has walked across the room. Her general health is now good, and I believe she will, as her limbs gain strength, walk well. I attribute her recovery, with the blessing of God, to the nse of your invaluable medicine. With gratitude, I am, yours truly. W. B.BLANTON West Point, G a., Sept. 16,1870. Gents:—The above certificate o> Mr. W. B. Blanton we know and certijy to as being true.

New York Sun. The pastoral letter read at the close of the Episcopal convention by the venerable Bishop Smith gave deserv ed prominence to the question of the means of combating the infidelity of the time. It very properly warned ministers not to despise their adver sary, but to prepare themselves in all ways to encounter the enemy. It is only lately that the church has been awakened to a conception of the alarming proportions of the infi del movement. The theological sem inaries went on as if the world about them was not denying the religion they were learning to preach. They did not understand that in every civ ilized country a large share of the writers were either openly or insidN ously assailing Christianity. They dis not know that even anew reli gious terminology had come Into vogue, and that they were learning forms of speech very different from those employed in the current philo sophical and religious discussion; that they were ill-fitted to argue with their antagonists because they had yet to acquire their language. Infidelity is not now fighting with the weapons of Voltaire and Rous seau and Tom Paine. It has diawu its implements of warfare from anew arsenal stored with modern engines of destruction. Its tactics are far dif ferent from the old ; its points of at tack are not the same; its arms are of new invention, and the spirit of its troops is dissimilar. The modern assault on Christianity is directed against its foundations. The infidelity of this time denies the supernatural altogether, or rejects it as something not within the power of man to discuss with intelligence. Appeals to Biblical authority are therefore of no avail against it; for what is the Bible to these modern in fidels except an ancient record, an an cient anthology, a collection of legen dary tales, or the history of an out cast and bigoted people, to which is added a more or less spurious account of the career of a revolutionary reli gious enthusiast ? The Bible is no more to them than the Koran or the mystical writings of pagan India. They count it as the product of intellectual childhood,and deem it an impertinence to ask men to develope minds to base their rea* soning on it as the Book of inspira tion. With them inspiration and su perstition are about the same thing. They would no more think of look ing on the Bible as an infallible guide, as the final repository of human knowledge concerning infinite and occult things, and as the fuil revela tion of the Divine mind and heart, than they would think of building another pyramid of Cheops as an as tronomical observatory, (for that is what Mr. Proctor says it was put up for). The say they are not children to be held captive by fairy tales, or savages to be frightened by hobgob ling. When the ministry understand— and some of them seem now to he beginning to understand it—that even where modern infidelity has not got to this extreme it is all inevitably tending to that end, they will be bet ter f repared to meet the enemy. We have in the advance the philosophers who treat the mind and soul as only a product of the brain and nervous system; as something no more im mortal than the rest of us. We have the school who would trace man up from inanimate matter through the lowest scale of animal existence. We have the philosophers who discuss the origin and development of reli gion as they would a case of insanity. They make men the manufacturers of their own gods; the worshippers of qualities in themselves which they have magnified into attributes of de ity, constructing the god to fit the mould the limits of their imagination hays made. As to a man, he is a crea ure whose characteristics are de termined by his inheritance of quali ties acted on by his surroundings. Far behind these philosophers, but really on the same road,are the doubt ers of inspiration ; the men who re ject chuich dogmas; those who turn away with repugnance from the idea >f hell, whether it can be proved out of the Bible or not; those who deny the efficacy of prayer; the Agnostics, the Know-Nothings of religion ; and the people who are unable to say whether they believe in religion or ' Ot. Of such as these the churches themselves are full, and the logical r. suit of their doubt is the denial of n authoritative supernatural reli gion. If they are not converted to faith, they are liable to become infidels of the stalwart variety. They will get further away from Christianity the longer they reason about it. They give up parts of the creed, bejeome critics instead of devout believers, and then the whole Bible and the whole creed go, Hell passes away for them, and then heaven is dissolv ed, and finally the look into the fu ture and see no immortality. That is the logical progress of modern in fidelity ; and many thousands of men and women, here and in Europe, have either taken the steps or are entering upon the road. But against the fiercest assaults of infidelity the church can always stand if it plants itself upon the rock of original Christianity, Its work is to regenerate and reform the world. Its mission is to reconstruct society and fashion it after that beautiful ideal which won the admiration of the simple Galileans and has never yet failed to extort praise from men. The Christianity to oppose the mod ern infidelity is practical Christianity; the realization in the lives of those who profess to be governed by Chris tian rules of that sublime ideal of man’s duty to himself and his fel lows. HOG PRODUCTS IN THE SOUTH. Can we raise hogs in the south? The appearances in our market, ev ery winter, of home-slaughtered hogs indicate that we can. Then why is sb much pork and bacon brought in this direction from Cin cinnati and Chicago if we can raise it ourselves ? We ask this question just now because there are appearances that indicate that hog products will, from this time, permanently aver age considerably higher than it has hitherto. Our readers who have to buy these products know what a heavy price they have had to pay during the last two or three months compared with what they were pay ing before. The basis for the ad vance is one that will not pass away, but on the contrary* is increasing in extent and importauce— it is the for eign consumption of American ba con. We see it stated in the New Y"ork Chronicle that the low prices of the last three years have increased the consumption of American pork produce in Europe; the working population have added it to the cere als and vegetables to which their di et was largely confined. The use be ing introduced, the demand for it goes on increasing and the prices rise. In Germany, Sweden, the ports of the Baltic, and throughout South ern Russia the consumption of ba con has largely increased. In our own country also there is a larger con sumption, and the demand in the south and Southwest has especially grown wider. In Chicago during the season of 1862-3 there were packed 970,260 hogs, while from March Ist to 6th of the present year 2,* 570,000 hogs were packed in that city. Speculation has undoubtedly been at work, but the basis of that specula tion was the increase of the foreign demand, and that demand will con tinue when the present speculative influences are* passed. The reasons are strong, then, for raising the wan ted pork and lard on our own land, for the consumption of those residing on the land. This would give the advantage of having good corn-fed, home-cured, and sound healthful lard, unpoisoned by the manipula tions and chemical tricks played with the white substance so often consist ing of one third water. Let the far mer raise his own hog meat and lard . —Nashville American. MRS. ABRAHAM LINCOLN. New York Cor. Pliila. Record. Truth is stranger than fiction any how, and the few who saw the widow of Abraham Lincoln thrust rudely back by policemen at the steamship wharf on Wednesday could not but be sure of the fact. An aged, white haired woman, almost shabbily clad, she attracted no attention from the throng who crowded about to wel come the French adventuress. The latter were mainly foreigners, and were of no social prominence, hut somebody ought to have looked after Mrs. Lincoln, and nobody did. Hers has been a sad life. From the pin nacle of social prominence she had descended to the depths of forgetful ness. A little of the money squan dered by the republicans of this state on Grant would go far to make Mrs. Lincoln comfortable for life. —Brigham T. Young, a son of the prophet of the Mormons, committed suicide a few days ago. He left only one widow to grieve for him. A STRANGE OCCURRENCE. Last Saturday a week ago, while Mr. Isaac Reed and his four children were picking cotton upon a portion of land belonging to Mr. Newton Cates, in this county, rocks began to fall about, when Mr. Reed in anger grasped up a stone and exclaimed, “whoever you are, if you don’t stop you’ll get this,” holding up the stone iu his hand. But the rocks kept ou falling so fast, that all began to won der who could be throwing them, when it was noticed that they were rising off the ground about them and falling back ! So strange a sight caus ed them to leave the field and go to the house near by, when the stone falling commenced there. Some of the near neighbors were sent for, among them Mr. N Cates, and Mr. J.Bazel, (a sister of whom is Mr. Reed’s wife) and all saw the rocks falling, some of which were hot, and all testify to the same facts—for facts they are—but as to the cause, none of them pretend to know. Now, some will be so incredulous as utterly to deny this and cry out “pshaw!” and “superstition,” yet, in spite of all, these are well established facts, as human testimony can establish. Bet ter accept of them as facts, and go to investigating for the cause. Ou Mon day week the same manifestations were repeated at the same place, aud one of the stones struck a little boy on the foot, and another stone struck Mr. Hazel on the shoulder. By the way this is not the first time that these sort of “manifestations” and “appearances,” or call them by what name you please, have occurred, hut in other places in this state and Vir ginia, such have occurred. —Marietta Journal. WHY THE SOUTH IS SOLID. Lawlessness and oppression, profi gacy and plunder of the republican party compelled the solidity of the south. To that solidity more than ever before, she must remain stead fast immovable. Under our benign home rule our people have prosper ed to a degree that has astounded our friends and confused our enemies. There must not be, and will not be any “let up” in the wonderful prog ress of the south, under the new re gime, whatever it may be, which the republican party seek to inaugurate. It cannot materiall} 7, affect the south. It will indeed prove a blessing to the extent that it will induce great self reliance, greater energy and wiser efforts in developing the wonderful wealth and unlimited resources which a kind providence has bestow ed upon the sunny south. The sun will still shine, gentle showers will fall, seed time and harvest will still bring their blessings, and our great staple must continue to be a power in the commercial world, while our coal and iron and other minerals will yield wealth of w’hich the world does not dream. Let the solid south, solid always for homo rule and hon est government, now give its great est vigilance and wisest counsels, not to national politics or to conflicts and passions of national parties, but to the building up and advancing of our educational, moral and material in terests. Herein the south is and must continue to be solid—solid as her glorious mountains, and strong and increasing as the flow of her own broad and beautiful streams. It may be that Garfield will prove a very different man from what his past rec ord indicates, as first officer of our great republic. With the responsi bllity of the government of fifty mill ion of people pressing upon him, he may possibly prove a wise and be neficient ruler. — Montgomery Adver tiser. WHERE THE DOLLARS GO. A detailed statement has been fur nished the New Orleans Times of the shipments of standard silver dollars from.the United States mint at New Orleans during the month of October 1880: Alabama, $ 262,500 Arkansas.... 67,500 South Carolina 36,500 Florida 36,000 Georgia 165,000 Illinois 1,000 Kentucky 5,600 Louisiana 416,000 Mississippi 267,000 Tennessee 169,000 Texas 660,000 Total $2,067,500 —The democratic party was badly euchered in the late election. The republicans held all the bowers and the ku-klux, and only allowed the democrats to make one that was a “solid” one. S. A. CUNNINGHAM. A GIRL. There is at Sourbaya, Java, at pres ent on view, a Japanese infant girl with two heads and necks, but body and two legs. The little thing’ is now about fifty days old, according to the mother, and so far in fair health. The two heads are placed side by side on the trunk, and per fectly formed, and about normal size. Between them on the trunk is a small protuberance, caused evidently by the junction of the two bodies. The body is abnormally broad at the shoulders, and tapers down at the waist and loins to the size of an ordinary infant of the same age; the legs appear very small and weak, however. The arms, too, on each side of the broad chest, looked puny. The right-hand head is a lighter in color than the other. How the internal arrangements are disposed of we of course do not know, but both heads have to be fed at meal time. When the writer was present one head cried, the mother said from hunger, but the other did not, though it at the same time began moving about restlessly as if for food. The two heads do not breathe alike, nor do the pulses of either arm beat to gether. From time to time the in fant (or infants, for each head has a name) suffers from depression and the face turns bluish, showing the blood circulation is not properly reg ulated. The parents are ordinary Japanese of the lower class, and the mother is good looking—so is the off spring. They are doing a good trade by the exhibition. FARM LIFE. A writer in Scribner’s Magazine asserts that the farmer, having the most sane and natural occupation, ought to find life pleasant. Hp alQne, strictly speaking, has a home. How can a man take root and thrive with out land ? He writes his history up on his field. How many ties, how many resources he has; his friend ship with his cattle, his team, his dog, his trees; the satisfaction in his growing crops, in his improved fields, his intimacy with Nature, with bird and beast, and with the quickening elemental force; his co-operation with the clouds, sun, seasons, heat, wind, rain and frost. Nothing will take the various social distempers which the city and artificial life breed, out of a man, like farming— like direct and loving contact with the soil. It draws out the poison, it humbles him, teaches him patience and reverence, and restores the prop er tone to his system. Cling to the farm, make much of it, put yourself into It, bestow your heart and your brain upon it, so that it shall savor of you and radiate your virtue after your day’s work is done. HOW TO HAVE A BAD SCHOOL. The following rules are taken from the Pennsylvania School Journal, and recommended to those who do not take any interest in having good schools as worthy of their attention: 1. Elect the most ignorant, bigoted and close-fisted old fogies in the dig* trict to the school board. 2. Employ the cheapest teacher you can get, regardless of qualifies* tions, reputation or experience. 3. Find all the fault you can with the teacher, and tell everybody; es* peeially let the pupils hear it. 4. When ytoi heir a bad report about the teacher or school, circulate it as fast as you can. 5. Never visit the school or encour age the teacher. 6. If you should happon to Visit the school, take c'oso n tice of w at seems to go wrong and tell everybody about it except the teacher. 7. Never advise your children to be .obedient to the teacher, and when the children are punished rush to the school room before your passion is cool and give the teacher a hearing in the matter in the presence of the whole school. ' % i 8. Be indifferent about sending your children to school regularly, Get Out of Doors* The close confin men* o f all fac* tory work, gives the operatives pal* lid faces, poor appetites, languid* miserable feelings, poor blood, inac* tive liver, kidneys and urinary troubles, and all the physicians and medicine in the world cannot help them unless they get out of doors or use Hop Bitters, the purest and best remedy, especially for such cases, having abundance of health, sun* shine and rosy cheeks in them. They cost but a trifle. See another column* —Christivn Recorder. —Advertise in the Express.
