of the water-works has issued an order
compelling all manufacturers to place
guagea upon their hydrants, so that the
exact amouut they use can be ascertain

the outrageous waste of water that now
exists.
The Radicals won’t think of letting a
colored mar. run for the Legislature in
the great State of Ohio. A colored man
by the name of VV'illiams was nominated
from erne of the Cincinnati districts, but

Radical papers said that it was “ ill
timed and nonsencical.” Such is Rad
icalism in Ohio.

hay materially influences its quality;
thus, according to Wolff, the amount of
nutritive substances in red clover at be
ginning of flower is 11.33 per cent.; red
clover in full flower, 13.04 per cent. —
Red clover hay, cut at beginning of
flower contained 55.43 per cent, of nutri
tive matter, while the same cut in full
flower contained 46.07 percent.
An old public servant once gave a
promising son this advice: “ Keep quiet
for a time and don’t be in too great a
hurry to push yourself forward or to ad
vertise yourself. Just do your work as
good as you can, and make no enemies.
People in power will find you out soon
enough, and be only to glad to avail
themselves of the assistance you can
give them. Wait for your chance and
it wilfcome.”
The Porte, it is claimed, is willing to
sell the island of Cyprus out and out to
Great Brittain being that the
Queen’s government will never surrender
its quasi jurisdiction over the island, but
the price named is five million pounds,
rather a heavy figure to pay for a dis
trict said to be saturated with malaria.
The British Cabinet, however, is reported
to be seriously considering the question
of the ways and means of the purchase.
An unfortunate difficulty is troubling
the Primitive Baptist Church at Enon,
near Jones’ Mills, Meriwether county.
The trouble arose out of the question
whether or not the members can belong
to the Masonic or Odd Fellows fraternity.
One faction of the church objects to this,
but another has decided that a man can
be a Mason or Odd Fellow yet remain
a church member. On account of this
difference of opinion, the Meriwether
Vindicator says the church is likely to
be torn asunder.
What could men do without imagina
tion ? One can almost keep cool in sum
mer by dreaming of the “ frosty Caucas

that one can always have fresh air by
imagining that the window is open. Two
gentlemen slept in a very close room.
The window was apparently stuck fast.
A pane was broken to let in the air, and
then another, then they both felt better
and went to sleep. In the morning they
discovered that they had broken two
panes of an old fashioned bookcase.
The Atlanta Constitution says: “The
disclosures made by the Wallace com
mittee in Rhode Island and Massachu
setts show that even were the charges of
buildozing in the South all true, the ne
gro has far more freedom as a citizen
than the employes of the New England
mill owners. These employes are led
by the ears to the polls in droves, and
made to vote the republican ticket and
if they resist they are discharged ; but
the testimony is that few or none of the
poor creatures resist. Sweet liberty!
of thee we are inclined[to sing.
It ft difficult to believe that a multi

A Kansas girl lived alone with her
father. He oppressed her marriage and
she killed him while asleep by pushing
an awl into his brain. Soon the alarm
that the old man had died of heart dis
ease was given out. He was buried and
she married soon thereafter. Her hus
band was informed by her of the awful
deed while she talked in her sleep. He
was horrified, but she clung to him in
pitegus appeals, explaining that the deed
was done “ for him,” but he tore loose
from her embrace and told her that he
had a duty to perform to God and to his
conscience. “|And will you betray me ?”
He replied, “ I must.”
Mr. Moody is described by the Tribune
as being at his very best at Northfield.
One of his neighbors says of him: “ I
: have seen him in a great many large
i places, but I come here to this little
town, where he knows everybody, and
takes an interest in everybody, to be
more thoroughly charmed with him than
ever before. People like to laugh; Mr.
Moody knows it, and has the tact to put
audience in good humor to commence
with.” “ That is very good singing for
one congregation,” he said at a meeting
the other day at the close of the first
verse of “ Guide me, O Tuou Great Je
hova,” “ but there are a good many con
gregations represented here and we ought
to sing better than that All sing now.
Mr. Davis, take that fan away from

Now try again. I’ll keep watch and see

The Ellijay Courier says John W.
Gordon and J. T. Armstrong, two young
men of Cherokee county, “ concluded j
they wanted an education and set about
to get it the cheapest way as possible.
Having determined to place themselves
under the instruction of Professor Fowl
er, principal of the Ellijay seminary, the
next thought was to make their expen
ses as light as possible. They according
ly went to work before leaving home and
made their own bedstead. They were
furnished by their parents with cooking
utensils, a fully supply of substanntial
food, with jars, bins, etc., in which to
keep it, and are now comfortably quaran
tined at what is known as “ bachelor’s
hall,” where they do their own cooking,
washing, ironing, mending, etc.”
Wonderful Growth of a City.
The first settlement of Denver, Col.,
was made twenty years ago, and it now
boasts of 30,000 inhabitants, whilst its
sanguine business men predict that its
population will soon reach 100,000 peo
ple. The region round about has altered
greatly. A short time since it was but a
sandy plain, regarded as sterile, and now,
though irrigation, the whole Platte
valley is dotted with pleasant farm
houses, and presents many rural charmes.
The town has not yet been made health
ful. Despite its elevation—near 4,500
feet—its lack of sewerage causes dipthe
ria to an alarming extent. It is said
that an enterprising “ Yankee” staked it
out in 1859, but, disappointed in selling
lots and hearing of gold in the vicinity,
disposed of Denver to a vagabond Mexi
can for an old watch and a young mule,
and rode off to seek a fortune.
Death from Fright.
Miss Rachel Snodgrass, 19 years of age,
of Westmoreland county, Pa., dropped
dead one day last week under strange
circumstances. Shortly before the oc
currance of the deplorable affair it is
said that a little niece ofMiss Snod
grass had strayed out into the back yard
of her aunt’s residence, and presently
wandered out to a plank which had been
■suspended across a deep well. Here the
little one, unconscious of its peril, sat
astride the board playing. A few inm
ates later Miss Snodgrass, who had
missed the child, started out to look for
it. Going to the well she was about res
cuing the child, when it began to cry,
and at the same time make an effort to
crawl of the plank. This was so terrify
ing that Miss Snodgrass was overcome
by her nervous excitement and fell to
the ground, and had already expired
when she was discovered by her parents.
The child was rescued without injury.
Personal Honor in England.
The London correspondent of the
Philadelphia Press, speaking of personal
honor in politics in England, says: “It
is unquestionable that the standard of
personal honor in England is very high—
much higher, I regret to say, than in our
country. We see its influences in poli
tics. For instance, this month a citizen,
a lawyer-lobbyist was committed to the
Tower of Westminster by Parlament
fur merely saying that he could influence
a Parliamentary committee. It was gen
erally admitted that he did not believe
that he could and that he lied to his cli
ent when he said so, but Parliament con
sidered its honor involved by such a
statement even from a comparatively
irresponsible man, and he went to prison
by an unanimous vote of the House, the
leaders of both parties vieing with each
other to virdicate the honcr of their body.
Compare this with Washington or Har
risburg, and you measure the difference
between the legislators of one country
and the other’”
Money no Objection.
A young lady was recently asked if
she thought money an objection to a
marriageable young man, provided he
was pleasant and agreeable in all other
respects, to which she replied about as
follows :
“ Well, no. I don’t know as I’d mar
ry for money alone, but if a man had
plenty of money allied to a sweet dispo
sition, and a moustache that curled at
both ends, and nice blue eyes and respec
table profession and his father was rich,
and his mother and sisters were aristo
cratic, and he wanted to marry me and
would promise to let me have my own
way in everything, and keep me liberally
supplied with coin, and have a nice fur
nished house and a big piano in it, and
would give me two diamond rings and
would pay my dry goods, milliner’s and
dress-makers without grumbling, and I
really and truly loved him—l wouldn’t
consider his money any drawback to a
match.
Poultry Items.
There are people who think raising
poultry and eggs for market is a small
business anyway; let all such meditate
on the following figures:
Over 20,000 carloads of live and dress
ed poultry are carried into New York
city yearly, and 25,000,000 dozens of eggs
go to that market According to the best
estimates the United States produces
nine thousand millions of eggs annually.
France exports eggs yearly to the val
ue of 16,000,000.
In Great Britain the demand for poul
try and eggs exceeds the supply.
The wild purslane that grows in all
gardens during the summer months
makes excellent green food for fowl that
are confined. Chop it up and mix with
scalded corn meal.
One bushel of corn and oats ground
together and fed to poultry will produce
fifteen pounds of flesh. How many
pounds of pork would the same quantity
of food produce?
A cross between fine blooded light
brahmas and partridge cochins will pro
duce the largesffowls known.
After chickens are a month old, crack
ed corn and wheat screenings are better
for them than dough.
Exhibition poultry is generally a poor
investment for breeding purposes. They
are generally stuffed for some time
previous to the shows, in order to attain
the greatest possible weight, for, other
parts being equal, the biggest bird gets
the prize.

A Case of Mistaken Identity.
On hearing that she herself was dead,
Mrs. Nagle, of Brooklyn, went to the
Coroner’s office on Saturday in time to
cut short the deliberations of the jury.
Geo. Wade, the man who had identified
a body found in a dock as that of Mrs.
Nagle, happened to be making an affi
davit of the identity as Mrs. Nagle step
ped into the room. Mr. Wade bolted
for the nearest window. Mrs. Nagle
added to the strange.iess of the affair by
declaring before the juryman that she
had dreamed for the last three or four
nights that she was dead, some unknown
power holding her under water. She
had nevertheless, been at home about
her household duties as usual. The two
coincides could not be accounted for by
the Coroner. Mrs. Nagle walked away
from the Morgue with the man who had
come there with her coffin prepared to
give her a decent burial. The corpse
greatly resembled Mrs. Nagle, except in
the coler of the hair; but this difference
had not been observed by the people
who came to identify#ie remains at the
Coroner’s inquest. So much for human
| testimony.

DR. C. Me LANE'S
CELEBRATED
LIVER PILLS,
FOR THE CURE OF
Hepatitis, or Liver Complaint,
DYSPEPSIA AMD SICK MSADACNS.
Symptoms of a Diseased Liver.
PAIN in the right side, under the
edge of the ribs, increases on pres
sure; sometimes the pain is in the left
side; the patient is rarely able to lie
on the left side; sometimes the pain is
felt under the shoulder blade, and it
frequently extends to the top of the
shoulder, and is sometimes mistaken
for rheumatism in the arm. The
stomach is affected with loss of appe
tite and sickness; the bowels in gen
eral are costive, sometimes alternative
with lax; the head is troubled with
pain, accompanied with a dull, heavy
sensation in the back part. There is
generally a considerable loss of mem
ory, accompanied with a painful sen
sation of having left undone some
thing which ought to have been done.
A slight, dry cough is sometimes an
attendant. The patient complains of
weariness and debility; he is easily
startled, his feet are cold or burning,
and he complains of a prickly sensa
tion of the skin; his spirits are low;
and although he is satisfied that exer
cise would be beneficial to him, yet
he can scarcely summon up fortitude
enough to try it. In fact, he distrusts
every remedy. Several of the above
symptoms attend the disease, but cases
have occurred where few of them ex
isted, yet examination of the body,
after death, has shown the liver to
have been extensively deranged.
AGUE AND FEVER.
Dr. C. McLane’s Liver Pills, in
cases of Ague and Fever, when
taken with Quinine, are productive of
the most happy results. No better
cathartic can be used, preparatory to,
or after taking Quinine. We would
advise all who are afflicted with this
disease to give them a fair trial.
For all bilious derangements, and as
a simple purgative, they are unequaled.
BEWARE OF IMITATIONS.
The genuine are never sugar coated.
Every box has a red wax seal on the lid,
with the impression Dr. McLane’s Liver
Pills.
The genuine McLane’s Liver Pills bear
the signatures of C. McLane and Fleming
Bros, on the wrappers.
Insist upon having the genuine Dr. C.
McLane’s Liver Pili.s, prepared by Flem
ing Bros., of Pittsburgh, Pa., the market being
full of imitations of the name McLane ,
spelled differently but same pronunciation.
