YELLOW FEVEE-Blaok 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.
MKRKELL'S HEPATINK, 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 irom 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
of 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 fiom
the blood by using Murrell’s Hepatine, which
is sold oy all Druggists in 25 cent and 11.00 bot

t/G&* The reports of wonderful cures of Rheu

abundance ot proof.
REMARKABLE CURE OF SCROFULA,itc.
Case of Colonel J. C. Branson.
Kingston, Ga., September 15,1871.
GENTS;—For 16 years l have been a great suf
ferer irom Scrofula in its most distressing
forms. I have been confined to my room
bed for 15 years with scrofulous ulcerations!
The most approved remedies for such cases had
been used, ami the most eminent physicians
consulted, without an/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. Language is as insufficient to de
scribe the relief I 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 oi your
Extractoi Stillingia, until lean say 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 ol
the disease.
For the truth of the 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 gratitude, Your ooedi
ent servant,

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, lollowinir,
pieces ol 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. Mauy pieces of bone came out of 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 ur> 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. With gratitude, I am, yours truly,
W. B. BLANTON.

WORK TOGETHER.
If all men had the self-same mind,
And sought the same position,
The world would be, as you’ll agree
Chaotic in condition.
Thus some must sow and some must reap,
And some must plow the mighty deep;
And some must work while others Bleep—
Each has his given mission.
And though they seek quite different paths
In bright and cloudy weather,
And eeem to stray, each his own way,
They really work together ;
The oue who weaves, the one who knits,
The one who cuts, and he who fits,
Bound by a silken tether.
Thus the great world thrives and grows,
As each man helps his brother ;
The great and small, the short and tall,
They all help one another.
For some must*print and 6ome must fold,
Some must carve and some must mold,
And some count silver, scrip and gold,
Fiftch one pursuit or other.
Then banish envy from our hearts,
And keep your soul well lighted,
The world should be, as you’ll agree,
At peace and all united.
The water-course will turn the wheel- -
The mill will grind the corn and meal—
And God will reign through woe and weal,
And every wrong be righted.
A WONDERFUL CLOCK.
Mr. Felix Meier, of Detroit, Mich.,
after nearlv ten years of patient la
bor, has produced a clock which, not
excepting that of Strasburg, is the
most wonderful clock of the world.
It is 18 feet high, 8 feet wide, 5
deep, and weighs 4,000 pounds. The
framework is of black walnut and
elegantly carved. Washington sits
beneath the marble dome with a col
ored servant on either side guarding
the doors. On the four corners of
the face of the clock are four figures,
emblematic of the different stages of
human life: Two aro females, one
holding an infant, the other with a
child ; the third is a man of middle
age, while the fourth is a figure of an
old gray bearded man. All of these
figures have bells, each with a tone
in keeping with the age represented.
The infant strikes a sweet toned bell
at. the first quarter hour ; the larger
bell of the youth rings out at the end
of the half hour, followed by the
Mronfcft&sbnant tone of the bell of
middle age at the third quarter, and
the hour closing with the mournful
bell of the aged man. Death, repre
sented by a carved skeleton just
above the clock face, then strikes the
hour, at the same time a carved cu
pid hops out on either side, with
wings, to indicate that time fles.
This is followed by sweet music,
when Washington, rising from his
chair, presents the Declaration of In
dependence, and a door on the right
opened by the servant, and each of
the ex-Presidents, donned in the cos
tume of his time (including Presi
dent Hayes), files before the “Father
of his country,” face him, and raise
their hands, walk across the plat
form and pass out of sight, at a door
which is afterwards closed by the
second servant. Washington takes
his seat and all is quiet again save
the heavy tick of the wonderful
time-keeper. Though such a clock
shows a great deal of iugemrtty, it is
of little practical value.
THE CINCINNATI SOUTHERN.
The following statement is made
by a cottou factor of Cincinnati:
The Southern railroad i9 not meet
ing the expectations of its friends in
that it disejiminates against this city
in freights. It was the avowed de
termination of the trustees on the
road that Cincinnati should have as
low 7 rates to and from the south as
Louisville, but that determination
has riot beeu kept. Take Birming
ham as an example: At the opening
of the cotton season, September 1,
the rate per bale to Cincinnati was
SI.BO and to Louisville $1.75. When
cotton began to move freely, and
when Cincinnati was getting a large
and satisfactory share of the cotton
shipped from that point, the rate was
advanced to $2.35 per bale to Cincin
nati and $2.10 to Louisville, while to
Mobile, Selma and other markets,
rates vere not advanced at all. After
maintaining this $2.35 rate to Cin
cinnati just long enough to turn the
cotton to other markets and ruin
Cincinnati cotton factors’ business for
the season, the rate was reduced to
$2.05 per bale, while to Louisville the
rate w 7 as placed at $1 80; so we are
now paying twenty five cents more
per bale than Louisville. Again, On
cotton shipped Irom Southern points
to New York or Boston, or other
Eastern points, the sonthern road
gels from fifty to sixty cents per bale
for hauling from Chattanooga to Cin
cinnati, while on cotton shipped to
Cincinnati it gels $1 to $1.25.”
OUR JUNIOR SENATOR.
A correspondent of the Atlanta
Post*Appeal writes the following from
Washington: <*
Senator Brown is fast becoming a
potent factor in National politics. He
has a peculiarly fortunate knack of
saying and doing at all times the
right thing in the right place. He
has completely captured the repub
licans, and at at a single bound has
sprung influence, to say the least of
it second to that of nr- other senator.
He is, without doubt, the shrewdest
politician ever sent by Georgia to the
United States senate, and viewed in
the aspect, his presence here is a tow
er of strength to the Southern de
mocracy. He is nut the man to fall
a victim to any of the wiles of the
enemy, or be led like a lamb to the
slaughter. The senator’s judgment
is already acknowledged and deferred
to by the party leaders.
His industry is wonderful. At all
times in his seat—which is now the
exception rather than the rule—he
gives the closest attention to the bus
iness of the Senate. When he is not
there he is at his committee room, or
at the Metropolitan hard at work
with his secretaries, Messrs. C. K.
Maddox, of Atlanta, and D. T. My
ers, of Augusta. They are often em
ployed until a late hour of the night.
In addition to the vast amount of
clerical work performed by those
gentlemen they are kept constantly
at work hunting up statistics and
various data bearing upon questions
under consideration. Notwithstand
ing his close attention to the work
before him, his health has improved
much since his arrival here, and he
is looking healthier and stouter than
I ever saw him before this.
CONKLING’S INSULT TO HIS
WIFE.
Correspondence Louisvill Courier-Journal.
The refusal of Mrs. Conkiing and
her daughter to invite Mrs. Sprague
to the latter’s wedding was resented
by the Senator to the extent of ab
senting himself on that occasion and
a refusal to speak to his daughter
afterward. When he wished to
smooth his ruffled plumage prior to
the state convention in New York
last February, he commanded his
wife to come to Washington and
drive in an open carriage with Mrs.
Sprague and dine with her. If she
obeyed he said he would call to see
his daughter and be reconciled to
her. The injured, patient wife meek
ly submitted, and came to the Riggs
House, where she passed five days.
Mrs. Sprague drove in her carriage
to the hotel, and sent her card to
Mrs. Conkiing. She was received.
Next day the two ladies rode through
the principle streets of the city. The
last move in the game was the din
ner. Many were bidden, but excus
es made by all but Judge Swayne,
Judge Field (but not their wives).
Mrs. Hamilton Smith, a Mrs. Bar
rett, a young member of Congress
from Rhode Island, Mrs. Sprague,
Senator and Mrs, Conkiing. These
comprised the guests. The hostess
of Mr. Conkiing caused the dinner to
be written up for the press in the
most lavish style, with full destrip
tion of the minutest details. Mr.
Conkiing considered this the ablest
strategy of his life; but when the
martyr wife was gone, and all was
understood, it was considered the
flimiest structure ever erected. The
whole thing toppled over, and men
blushed for their sex when they con
sidered the enormity of the outrage
upon an uncomplaining wife.
COUNTY NEWSPAPERS.
The following i9 what the Cincin
nati Trade-List thinks of those char
acters who complain of their county
papers, and, instead of helping to
support them, send on for a large
city paper and thus help to sustain
them.
“A gentleman writes to us that his
county paper is so poor that he has
stopped it; therefore sends us three
dollars for the trade list. We repeat
that we do not want subscribers on
these terms. A man’s county paper
is worth more to him than all the
papers in the world, if it is not it is
his fault. If the county paper is
properly encouraged, it may be re
lied upon for information of more
value to the people in whose inter
est it is issued than can be found in
all city papers in the United States.
No man can afford to be without the
paper that publishes the official ad
vertisments of his county, the pub
lic sales, markets, court news and
other local intelligence. If the paper
is poor, the people are more at f iult
| than the publishers for not giving it
j a liberal patronage. However poor
the county paper may be, it is al
ways worth more than it costs to
those interested in the affairs of the
county.
♦ —
The number of new made graves
in the cemetery tells the tale that
death has been busy in our midst.
The thought of being placed "beneath
the ground, abhorrent even when
spring is bursting into beauty, or
summer is glorious in its full blown
loveliness, or autumn is enchanting
in its mournfuluess, is doubly dread
ful in the dead of winter, which fitly
typifies the death of nature. There
is ever an interest felt in anew grave.
The fresh earth tells you of the fresh
wound in the heart e’er it is covered
over with the weeds and grass of the
world’s growing cares. The plain
head and foot boards 9ay that death
comes without warning—no marble
column engraved with the virtues of
the deceased is kept ready for the
end ; it comes afterward, as the vir
tues of the dead grow brighter with
the lapse of time. The memories of
those who precede us, comes wafted
hack on the wings of thought, to tell
us of a nobler life beyond. Death is
robbed of its only good effect if it
does not soften while It saddens the
hearts of the living.— Exchange.
WORDS OF WISDOM.
Impatience dries the blood sooner
than age or sorrow.
Are you living so that it is a sum
mer to you all the time?
Love, faith, patience—the three es
sentials to a happy I lie.
Poetry has been the guardian an
gel of humanity in all ages.
No star ever rose and set without
influence somewhere.
Pride hath two seasons—a forward
spring and an early fall.
Favors of every kind are doubled
when they are speedily conferred.
Often a reserve that hides a bitter
humiliation is taken for haughtiness.
A noble part of every true life is to
undo what has been wrongly done.
When a friend corrects a fault in
you, he dees you the greatest act of
friendship.
The men who most love women
are those who know their minds the
least.
Talent takes the mark of its gener
ation; genins stamps its time with its
own impression.
Lands mortgaged may return and
more esteemed; but honesty, once
pawned, is ne’er redeemed.
Do not try to force yourself into
the confidence of others. If they
give their confidedce never betray it.
The greate t evils in life have had
their rise from something which was
thought of too little importance to be
attended to.
Those who, without knowing us,
think or speak evil of us, do us no
harm; it is not us they attack, but the
phantom of their own imagination.
There is a joy in good fortune.
There is far higher in the mind’s gain
of knowledge or truth. But there is
no joy like the joy of resolved virtue.

floods in Great Britain have wrought
much damage. On the river Thames
alone the damage is estimated at
$10,000,000. There have been nu
merous wrecks of vessels on the
coast. The streets of London are
blocked with snow-drifts. It is the
hardest storm experienced in that
place within the recollection of many
old citizens.

A New York correspondent writes:
“Grant and Beecher have got up quite
a flirtation. They turn up in each
others company once or twice a
week, and seem di-posed to linger
about each other as young college
chums. Last night Grant visited
Brooklyn to see Beecher in his uni
form, and in the stiff ceremony of a
military review he could not resist
the temptation as he passed Beecher
in line to stop and take his hand for
a moment.”
A singular and shocking murder
was committed Sunday evening at
Lapeer, Michigan. While the peo
ple were at church, Mrs. Barnard,
wife of a prominent lumberman at
Greenville, w r ent to the residence of
Rev. E. Curti9, attacked his wife,
threw her down, poured gasoline
over her clothing and set her on fire.
The unfortunate lady was terribly
burned, and died within a few hours.
As there was no apparent motive for
the crime it is believed the murder
ess is insane.
In Cartersville, Mr. Cornelius Will*
ingham has expressed his faith by
taking the Express. We are glad
that he has come to the fore. We
know of no one more likely at this
time, to look on the bright and lov
ing side of life, and to write editorials
brim full of kindness. Mr. Fite re
tires from the editorial chair. A few
years ago when fighting editors were
in demand, such a thing would never
have been permitted. But times
have changed. Success to the maa
at the helm.— Walker Cos. Messenger .

ica furnishes England’s food. There
fore, while you are Americans, not
forgetting the Irish blood in your
veins, let your actions be a9 Ameri
cans—consiperate, careful but firm.”
