Tt 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. MRKKfCLL’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 from the blood each time it passes through the Liver, as long as an excess ol bile exists. By its wonderful action on the Liver and Stomach the Hepatine not only 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 Mekrell’s Hepatine which is sold by all Druggists in 25 cent andsl-00 bot tles, or will be sent by express by the Proprie tors, A.

REMARKABLE CURE OF SCROFULA.&c. Case of Colonel C. Branson. Kingston, Ga., September 15,1871. Gents: —For 16 years 1 have been a great suf ferer from Scrofula in its most distressing forms. I have been confined to rny room and bed for 15 years with scrofulous ulcerations. The most approved remedies lor such cases had been used, and the most eminent physicians consulted, without any decided benefit. Thus prostrated, distressed, desponding, I was ad vised by Dr. Ayer, of Floyd county, Ga., to commence the use of your Compound Extract Stillingia. Lanaamge is as insufficient to de scribe the relief TflHtalncd from the use of the Stillingia as it is Co-CtHivey an adequate idea oi the intensity of my suffering before using vour medicine; sufficient to say, I abandoned all other remedies and continued the use of your Extract of Stillingia, until I can sav truly, “I am cured of all disease, with nothing to ob 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 the above statement. I refer to any gentleman in Bartow- county, Ga., and to the members of the bar of Cherokee Circuit, who are acquainted with me. I shall ever re main, with tlio deepest gratitude, Your oDedi ent servant, J. C. BRANSON, Att’y at Law. A MIRACLE. Gents:—My daughter was taken on the 25tli day ot June, 1563, 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/rora the elbow to the shoulder joint came out. Many piece? of bone came out of the right loot and leg. The case was the irpro nouncedone 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 w r as so well satisfied with its effects that I have continued use ofthe 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, walk well. I attribute her recovery, with the blessing of God, to the use of your invaluable medicine.

BY MAX ADEI.ER. The wife of ray neighbor, Mr. Ar chibald N. Fisher, was attacked some years ago by a very dangerous malady, from which there was from the first, very little hopes of her re covery. And one day, when Mr. Fisher came home, they communica ted to him the sad intelligence that she was no more. When the first outbreak s grief had subsided, he sent an order to the undertaker for a coffin, he tied crape on thedoor-knob, i he sent his hat around to the store to have it draped in black, he adver tised her death in the papers with some poetry attached to the an nouncement, and he made general preparations for the funeral. Then he sat down in the parlor with his great sorrow, and his friends tried to comfort him. “It’s no use,” he said, “I’ll never get over it. There never Was any woman like her, and there never will be again. I don’t want to live with-' out her. Now she’s gone, I’m ready to go any time. I’d welcome the grave.—What’s life to a man like me? It’s a void —an empty void; that’s what it is; and there is no more happiness in it for me.” “You must try and bear up under it,” said Dr. Potts. “These afflic tions are meant for our good. She is now an angel.” “I know ! I know! said Mr. Fisher sobbing, “but there’s no comfort in that. An angel is no use to me. An gels don’t make your home happy. They don’t sew on buttons ami look after the children. I’d rather have a woman like Mrs. Fisher than the host of them.” “But,” said Dr. Potts, “you must reflect how much happier she is now; you must remember that our loss is her gain.” “Well, I don’t see it,” replied Fish er. “She w’as happy enough here, bustling around, making things live' ly, quarreling with me sometimes, bless her dear heart, w hen I annoyed her, and scolding away all day long at the hired girl, making music in the house. Who’s she going to scold now, I’d like to know? How’s she going to relieve her feelings when she gets mad? Flying around in a night-gown with wings on behind her shoulder blades! And what I say is, that if Henrietta had her choice, she’d rather be home here tending to things, even if every day in the week was a rainy wash-day. Now I know she would.” “You take a gloomy view of things now,” said Dr. Potts. “After a while the skie3 will seem blighter to you.” “No; they won’t”said Mr. Fisher. “They’ll grow darker until there’s a regular awful thunderstorm of grief. I can’t live throuh it. It’ll kill me. Iv’e a notion to jump into Henriet ta’s grave and be buried with her. I’ve got half a mind to commit sui cide, so I can—” Just here the doctor came down stairs and into the parlor, with a smile on his face. Mr. Fisher saw it, and stopping abruptly, he said: “Dr. Burns, how you can smile in the midst of the awful desolation of this family, is more than I can un derstand, and I don’t—” “I’ve got some good news for you, Mr. Fisher,” said the doctor. “No you haven’t,” said Fisher.— “There can be no good news for me in this world.” “Mrs. Fisher is alive.” “What? ” “Mrs. Fisher is alive,” said the doctor. “She was only in a condi tion of suspeded animation after all. She’ll be perfectly well, I think, in a few days.” Mr. Fisher wiped his eyes, and with a frown on his face put his handkercheif in his pocket, and said: “You don’t really mean to say Mrs. Fisher’s going to rise up from her bed, and remain alive? Going to re main here with us! “Precisely ! and I congratulate you heartily.” “Oh, you needn’t congratulate me,’ exclaimed Fisher, rising aud looking gloomily out of the window. “This is a pretty piece of business! But it’s just like Henrietta. She always wa9 the contrariest woman in the state. Who’s going to pay the undertaker’s bill, I’d like to know? She can just do it herself; and the advertising, and that poetry, and the crape, apd all the things! I never heard of such foolishness! It makes me mad for women to be carrying on so ! Hanged if I’m going to—” Just here the boy came in with Mr. Fisher’s hat, with a weed around it, and Fisher giving the hat a sav age kick, said to the boy : “You miserable little scoundrel, get out of here or I will break your neck.” Then the company adjourned, and Fisher taking the crape off the door knob, went around to see the under taker. But Mrs. Fisher did not get well. Two or three days later she suffered a relapse, and within a week she passed peacefully away. Upon the same day one of Mr. Fisher’s fellow townsmen, Lucius Grant, lost his wife, and the interments were made in the cemetary upon the same "day, and about the same hour. A.s the two funeral parties were coming out of the burying ground, Fisher met Grant, and clasping each other’s hand they Indulged in a sym- I athetic squeeze, and the following conversation ensued: “I’m sorry for you. It’s an un speakable loss, isrPtit?” “Awful. She was the best woman that ever lived.” “She was indeed. I never met her equal. She was a good wife to me.” “I was referring to my wife. There couldn’t be two best you know.” “Yes, I know. I know well enough that your wife couldn’t hold a can dle to mine.” “She couldn’t, hey? Couldn’t hold a candle. Why she could lead Mrs. Fisher every day in the week, in cluding Sundays, and not half try ! She was an angel.” “Oh, she was, was she? Well, I don’t want to be personal, but if I owned an angel as bony as an omnh bus horse, I’d kill her if she didn’t die of her own accord.” “Better be bony than wear the kind of a red nose that your wife flourished around this community. It’ll burn a hole through the coffin lid. And you pretend you’re sorry she’s gone. But you can’t impose on me ! I know you’re glad enough to hurrah about it. ” “If you abuse ray wife, I’ll knock you down.” “I’d like to see you try it ” There wouffl have been a hand-to hand combat between the two dis consolate widowers, if the friends cl the parties had not interferred at this juncture. Grant’s friends thrust him in a carriage, and drove away, while Fisher was put in the carriage with liev. Dr. Potts, and he spent the time consumed by the journey in giving expression to his sorrow for the loss of his wife. “Doctor,” he said, “in one respect I never saw her equal. I have known that dear woman to take au old pair of my treusers, and cut them up for the boys. She’d make a splendid suit of clothe far both of them out of those old trousers, get out stuff enough for a coat for the baby, and a cap for Johnny, and have some left over for a rag carpet, besides making handkercheifs out of the pockets, aud a bustle for herself out ofthe other linings. Give her any old garment, and it was a-* good as a gold mine. She’d take a worn out stocking and make a bran new over coat out of it, I believe. She had a turn for that kind vi economy. There’s one of my shirts that I bought in 1847, still going about making itself useful as window cur tains and pantalets, and plenty of other things. Only last July our grid iron give out, and she took it apart, and iu two hours it was rigged on the side of the house as a splendid lightning rod, ali except what she had made into a poker and an ice pick. Ingenious? Why, she, kept our family iu buttons and whistles out of the ham bones she saved, and she made fifteen chicken coops from her old hoop-skirt, and a pig pen out of her used-up corset bones. She never wasted a solitary thing. Let a cat die around our house, and the first thing you knew Mary Jane’d have a muff and a set of furs, and I began to find mince-pies on the din ner table. She’d stuff a feather bed with the feathers that she’d get off one little bit of a rooster. I’ve seen her cook potato parings so’s you’d think they were can v T ass-back duck, and she had a way of doctoring up shavings, so that the pig’d eat ’em and grow fat on’em. I believe that woman could a built a four story hotel, if you’d a given her a single pine board; or a steamboat out of a wash-boiler ; aud the very last thing she said to me was to bury her in the garden so’s she’d be useful down below there, helping to shove up the cabbages. I’ll never see her like again.” When tlie mourners ail got homo f Mr. Grant tied crape upon all his window’ shutters,to show’ how deeply he mourned, and as Fisher knew that his grief for Mrs. Fisher was deeper, he not only decorated his shutters, but he fixed five yards of black bombazine on the bell-pull, and dressed his whole family in mourn ing. Then Grant determined that hi3 duty to the departed was not to let himself be beaten by a man who couldn’t feel any genuine sorrow, so he sewed a black flagon his lightning rod, and festooned the front of his house with black alpaca. Then Fisher became excited, and he expressed his sense of bereave ment by painting his dwelling black, and by putting up a monument to Mrs. Fisher in his front yard. Grant hereupon stained his yellow horse ‘'with lamp-black, tied crape to his cow’s tail, daubed his dog with ink, and began to wipe his nose on i black handkercheif. These little indulges in generous rivalry lasted fir nearly a year; and it is impossible to say what would have been the result of the contest, had not Fisher, in the midst of his sorrow', suddenly discovered in his heart a deep affection for a Miss Lang, a young lady who happened to be visiting one of Fisher’s friends. Fisher began to pay her attention, and as he did so, he gradually re moved the manifestations of his grief for the dear departed. A year later they were married, and this made Mr. Grant so angry, that he w T ent around to the widow Jones, and proposed and of course was accepted on the spot. Parker had been out in California for nearly thirty years ; but last win-- ter he came on east and paid a visit to his old home. Among ac quaintances of former days he met Mr. Fisher remarked that he was sorry his wife was out of town as he w'ould like Parker to see her. “And how is she?” asked Parker. “1 remember her well, Mary Jones she was before you married her. Splendid woman ! And how is she anyhow. “I am sorry to say Mary is dead ; been dead more than twenty years.” “Oh, I beg pardon, said Parker, excuse me for stirring up old griefs. But who is your seem id wife? Fine looking woman. I’ll bet, Fisher! You were always the awfulest man at falling in love with pretty woman I ever saw. What is she brunette, 1 venture to say. Are you going to in troduce hei to me ? ” “It’s not—not a pleasant subject to discuss —but —but my second wife was laid away in the grave more than fiifteen years ago. “You don’t say ? Oh ! I know of course —your second wife, of course dead; I forgot about it. Did I say your second wife? I meant your third iustead of second. Fisher, I must know that woman. Introduce me, will you ? Hang me if I don’t stay in town until I know her.” “That will be impossible, Mr. Par ker. My third wife has been an an gel ever since 18G5.” “Well, now, I declare it’s too bad ; I had no idea—of conrse, I didn’t mean anything. Let’s see, its ten years since 1865, ain’t it ? Well now old fellow, you’ll forgive me for tear ing np your feelings that way ; but I’ll make it all right by asking how in thunder is your present wife your fifth ?” “Mr. Parker you are mistaken again. 1 have no fifth wife. I—” “ Well, then your sixth how is she? Pardon me old boy, for saying that you have been going it. Six wives in thirty years, and here I am not married yet. Now how' is Mrs. Fish er number six ? ” “Mr. Parker the lady with whom I live at present is my fourth wife. I don’t like the tone in which you speak of this subject. “Don’t like it! Well, it seems to me, Fisher, that for a man who mar ries them and buries them ,as fast as you do to talk about sensibility upon the subject is a little more than ri diculous. I don’t care how your wife is or when you get another one. But if you take my advice, you will have your undertaking business done by contract at wholesale rates. Then Mr. Parker took the earliest through train to California. Governor Farnham of Vermont has signed the nuisance bill, and it will become a law. Its effect is very stringent against liquor dealers. William K. Porter, of New York, manager of the Kentucky lottery company wa3 found guiity in tne United States circuit court of sending circulars through the post office rela j ting to the company.

Atlanta is the forty-eighth city, rank ing next below Dayton, Ohio, and just above Lynn, Massachusetts. Her rate of increase was within a fraction of 80 per cent, Fall River and Denver are the only towns in the country that have in creased more rapidly since 1870. The number of cities having more than 30,- 000 inhabitants has increased from 36 to 64. The number having over 100,000 is 20, against 14 in 1870. New York, Phil adelphia and Brooklyn hold their relative position at the head. Chicago has risen from fifth place to fourth, and St. Louis has fallen from fourth to sixth. Boston has come up from seventh to fifth, and Baltimore has dropped from sixtli to seventh. Cincinnati continues to hold the eighth position, and Francisco takes the ninth, crowding New Orleans from that to the tenth. Those which have passed the 100,000 line in the ten years are Cleveland, Pittsburg, Jersey City, Detroit, Milwaukee, and Provi dence.—Atlanta Constitution. Many newspapers are uneasy as fish out of water until Congress as semblee. But the moment the ses sion commences no language is too severe or vile to be used towards that body, rejoicing in a motion to ad journ, alleging that the national leg islature is only a nuisance, etc. Jour nals claiming to be respectable are guilty of this vulgarity, as it may justly be termed. It is an insult to constituents as well as to congress men, and a smirch upon the Ameri can name and nation in every sense that should cease. News from all sources indicate a rapid increase of strength on the part of the farmers alliance. If this or ganization can be made to see and understand the importance of the money question, as bearing upon their individual and collective inter ests, they would soon, by their votes, correct the wrongs existing under our present monetary system. This is but one of the wrongs it is true, that the farmers suffer under, but is a leadingone. NO. 2.
