A Fall at Niagara. —William, nine
year old son of Robert W. Elliott, of Toronto,
Ont.. fell over the cliff below Niagara Falls,
striking at the bottom of the precipice, sixty
feet below. He struck on a patch of brush

Legrand, a Paris architect, died lately, and
left forty-five volumes of manuscript., written
in unknown characters. This is supposed
to be a memoir, and the labor must have oc
cupied many years, yet nobody suspected
the author of such a mania. No attempt to
decipher the writing has yet succeeded.
The coin and bullion in the Bank of
England in the last week of ,T lino rcaobcd
$175,717,500, the largest amount ever massed
there. At the same time the Bank of France
held nearly $450,000,000, and the Bank of
Germany $140,000,000. Nothing is more sig
nificant of want of confidence and stagnation.
Lightning struck a very large tree near the
Indian Springs, on Saturday, felling it to the
ground. An old lady who lived near by re
ceived such a severe shock that she has not
been able to speak since. A young man
riding near by on a mule received such a
severe shock as to jar the beast from under
him.
William Squires and his wife agreed to
simultaneously commit suicide at Akron,
Ohio, in consequence of inability to live
happily together. There is reason to believe,
however, that Mrs. Squires thought she could
live happily alone, for she took such a light

covered, while the husband took a large dose
and died.
The Rev. Ilenry J Munson, of Worcester,

married himself to her after the Quaker form,
each rowing to be faithful to the other.
At the Court of England it is no longer a
secret that the Prince Imperial was in love
with the Princess Beatrice, Queen Victoria’s
youngest and only unmarried daughter. He
hoped that by going to Zululand and winning
the Victoria cross by some act of valor the
many difficulties in the way of an alliance
might be overcome ; but it would have required
an act of Parliament to permit the girl to
marry a Catholic.
It has generally been believed that a snake

living on Judge Wolfe's plantation, a few
miles from town, while in bathing last Satur
day, felt something bite his foot, and on
reaching down felt a large moccasin. He
was taken home and remained deathly sick
until Monday morning, when he died.”
Among the freight brought by the steamer
City Point on Saturday morning from Florida,
were two boxes of snakes, which included
several varieties, such as rattlesnakes, moc
casins, eoachwhips, black snakes and divers
other slimy reptiles, and a smail box of bees,
which were intended to go on the steamship
Wyoming, that sailed yesterday morning for
Philadelphia, for the Zoological gardens of
that city. The captain not liking such
freight, refused to take them on board, so
they remained in Savanah, but what disposi
tion will be made of them know not.
Augusta Chronicle and Constitutionalist:
William B. Astor, at the head of a New York
and Boston company, has offered Georgia
$1,240,000 for the Macon and Brunswick
Railroad. If they can buy this road they
will put on a line of stearirers at Brunswick,
plying for South America* trade, and the
special idea is to give Jacksonville, Fla.,
where Mr. Astor has just invested $300,000,
a convenient port. If they buy the Macon
and Brunswick road they will continue it to
Atlanta, and thus flank the Georgia Central,
which now controls faora Atlanta southward.
Gen. Ewing’s Speech.
We present this morning a full report of
the great speech delivered by Gen. Thomas
Ewing, at Lancaster, Ohio, on Thursday last.
He sets out by declaring tiat Ohio is the
pivotal .State, and hence, as the people shall
choose under which King the}’ shall live or
die, the magnitude and importance of the
struggle in that commonwealth can not be
overestimated.
Reversing the method of Secretary Sher
man, lie first treats of the finances and, to our
minds, completely explodes the grand fabric
so painfull}’, and elaborately erected by that
noted official. Primarily he demonstrates
that while Secretary Sherman and his friends
are industriously spreading before the coun
try statements exhibiting what they call
his successful management of the public
finances and quietly claiming for him all the
credit of that management, it may be well to
state, as the Missouri Republican cleverly
does, as well as Gen. Ewing, a fact which
they are careful not'to make conspicious,
anil that is, the actual increase of the interest
bearing debt of the government. Mr. Sherman
took charge of the Treasury March 4, 1877,
and he informs us that since then the debt,
less cash in the Treasury, has been reduced
$61,573,886. But the interest-bearing debt
in 1877 was $1,711,888,500, and now it is
$1,707,643,700 —an increase of $85,755,200;
so that the country is now actually paying
interest on $85,755,200 more of the bonds
than it was when Mr. Sherman took charge
of the department. In fact, the debt is that
much greater than it was two years ago. It
is true this increase is offset by a large balance
in the Treasury. These Republican Secreta
ries are fond of boarding largo amounts of cash
in the public coffers, and Mr. Sherman lias
$240,080,000 there now; but as the Govern
ment is losing the interest on this idle money,
it actually represents a debt of that amount.
If a man owes SI,OOO on which lie is paying
interest, and carries in his pocket SSOO with
out making any use of it, he lias no right to
say that he owes only SSOO. And yet this is
what the debt less-cash-in the-Treasury state
ments of Republican Secretaries amount to.
The public debt less cash in the Treasury on
the first of the present month was $1,996,414,-
905 ; but the actual debt of the United States
on tliat day svas $2,245,495,072.
Having proved that the public debt has
increased and not diminished, the t rue-reasons
are given why the Government four per cent.
—practically six and a half per cent. —bonds
are popular. It is because the industries of
the country have perished under Sherman’s
policy, and the capital that ought to create
enterprises locks itself up in untaxed United
States securities, to the 'ineffable detriment
of all industries and the masses of the people.
As Gen. Ewing well expresses it, it is •* a
symptom of the industrial congestion which
lias drawn the life blood of business from
the extremities to the heart, and refuses to
send it back to give health and strength to
tiie body.’’ Gen. Ewing also ventures to say
that the country under Republican auspices,
lias lost in aggregate wealth, during the past
five years, three or four hundred times more
than the nominal annual saving of interest
which Mr. Sherman boasts of funding. lie
also proves that never was the public debt
so grievous a burden as it is to-day. in spite
of the so called reduction, because “ the
nominal reduction of $10,000,000 interest
has been accomplished by adding fifty per
cent, to the amount of labor or property which
it takes to pay it.”
The fraudulent demonetization of silver is
held up to the ignominy it deserves — an in
famy wlicicby the bumllioMer liad his capital
doubled and the holders of other property,
the tax payers and debtor classes, were rob
bed of 50 per cent, of their accumulations or
ability to pay. In other words $5,000,000,-
000 have been added since 1874 to the debt
burdens of the people and $100,000,000 to
their tax burdens. With such a showing,
the Republicans, says Gen. Ewing. “ demand
the grateful approval of the people for having
accomplished gold resumption regardless of
the fact that all their pledges of renewed
prosperity have been falsified and that the
four year's march to' it is strown with more
wrecks of the fortunes, hope* and happiness
of the people than marked the four years of
our tremendous civil war.”
Gen. Ewing then at length and with a
formidable array of facts and figures dis
cusses the mono metallic and bi-metallic
systems of finance and makes a tremendous
onslaught upon National Banks, the bad
features of which lie most trenchantly reviows,
especially that part of the system which perpe
tuates the public debt because the bank notes
are secured by Ur.ited States bonds. Where
fore there must be a cohesion of interest be
tween the Banks and the Government danger
ous to liberty and destructive of the laboring
classes and all who borrow money at a peril.
Leaving the financial part of his discussion,
which is a thorough review of Secretary
Sherman’s position, General Ewing addresses
himself to the corrupt legislative machinery
of the Republicans whereby they have so
long prospered and through which, crippled
as they have been by a Democratic Congress,
they still hope to entrench themselves per
manently in power. The party that stole
the Presidency in 187 G will balk at nothing
in 1880. Against the machinations of this
dreadful machine General Ewing warns the
people.
Against the Centralists and their prophets,
General Ewing deals tremendous blows.
Upon the cardinal doctrine of State Rights,
as defined by the Fathers of the Republic, he
plants himself and calls upon the descendants
of Revolutionary sires to vindicate at the
ballot box what they did not hesitate to defend
on the battle field. The first steps toward
empire have been already taken in the
destruction (if the independence of the masses
by debts, taxes and smothered industries,
which make the poor poorer and the rich
richer. Next comes an alliance between the
power of money in combination with Gov
ernment patronage and plunder. Then cor
ruption of the ballot. Then the standing
army ; and then the military despotism. Well
does General Ewing warn his countrymen
that these dread forces in coalition have al
ready struck at the spirit of our Government,
and will soon, if not overthrown, hew down
its form. This peril may be averted if the
honest masses of the people behold aright
what Mr. Sherman and his party really mean
to accomplish, and how the initial steps have
already been taken.
It will be seen from this noble appeal to
the reason and conscience of the people that
General Ewing believes that the money
question and questions of relief are indeed
matters of absorbing interest; but behind
them all is the vital principle of local self
government., without which there can be no
political liberty at all worth the mention, and
that the preservation of the reserved sovereign
ty hi the States is the palladium of freedom
as well as prosperity.— Chronicle *s• Con
stitutionalist, July 26th, 1871).
The Situation in Memphis.
The announcement of the Howard As
sociation of Memphis to the effect that they
do not need outside assistance, and that they I
will not hereafter accept the services of un
acclimated persons, either as physicians or as
nurses, is a gratifying assurance that the
condition of affairs in Memphis is not as
gloomy and as hopeless as some of the re
ports from that city would have us believe.
It is plain, moreover, that those who have
charge of matters propose to mange them
with a degree of system and economy totally
unknown during the last epidemic. Those
who feel it incumbent upon them to remain
in the stricken city, and who have nerved
themselves to face the heart-rending tragedies
that must be enacted all around them, are j
evidently masters of themselves and of the
situation. The uneasiness felt in regard to
the attitude of the negroes has been in a
great measure allayed, and it Is stated that
the two colored military companies have
quietly gone into camp near the city, so that
as far as discipline is concerned, Memphis
appears to be in as wholesome a condition
as ever. It should be remembered, however,
that if the epidemic progresses in its develop
ment as rapidly as appearances indicate, the
funds of the Howards will not be sufficient
to tide the city over the sultry season that
still stretches ahead, nor will discipline, how
ever perfect, allay the sufferings of those who
are doomed to remain in the deadly circle.
It is well to prepare for the inevitable, and
an appeal from the stricken city to the great
heart of the public is to be expected at any
moment. When that time comes, the public
should be ready to make instantaneous re
sponse.—Atlanta Constitution, July 29th.
The Verdict of the Legislature.
The discussion over the investigation of
j the charges against Governor Colquitt in con
nection with the signing of the bonds of the
J Northeastern railroad is ended, and we feel
that the almost unanimous verdict given in
I the Senate yesterday is in accordance with
! the wishes and opinions of a very large ma
jority of the people of Georgia. Our col
| umns have contained full and fair reports of
I the discussion as it progressed both in the
House and Senate, and the readers of the
Constitution are therefore enabled to judge
for themselves. We have purposely given
more space to the speeches of those who
j seemed to be adverse to the action which lias
been finally taken by the Legislature in or
der that there might be no mistake as to the
scope and nature of the discussion. Of two
j admirable speeches delivered in the Senate—
j one by Senator Clarke, and the other bv
Senator Lester—we had but meagre reports,
j The efforts of these gentlemen were master
ly and unanswerable arguments in favor of
ail unequivocal verdict in favor of the Gov
ernor. The final vote on the question was
not a surprise, and is especially gratifying
to the friends of Governor Colquitt.— Atlanta

Homicide Near Atlanta.
Atlanta, July 26.—Martin Defoor and
wife, living six miles from Atlanta, both
nearly eighty years of age, were brutally mur
dered last night while in bed asleep. Both
were cut in the neck by an axe, the body of
Mrs. Defoor being nearly severed. The mur
derers are not known nor their object in com
mitting the deed. Different theories are ex
pressed. The Delbors were quiet, peaceable
people, not having an enemy as far as the
neighbors koetf. The community is excited,
and every effort is being- made to discover
the murderers.

A WONDERFUL DISCOVERT I
CABBOLIHE!
A. Deodorized extract of Petroleum,
The Only Article that Will Re
store Hair on Bald Heads.
What the World lias been
Wanting lor Centuries.
The grenteet discovery of our day, so far as a
large portion of humanity is concerned, is CAR
BOLINE, an article prepared from pctrolenm, and
which effects a complete nnd radical curei-n case of
baldness, or where the hair, owing to diseases of
the scalp, has become thin nnd tends to fall out.
It is also a speedy restorative, and while its use se
cures a luxuriant growth of hair, it also brings back
the natural color, and gives the most complete sat
isfaction in the using. The falling out of the hair,
the accumulations of dandruff, and the premature
change in color are all evidences of a diseased con
dition of the scalp and the glands which nourish the
hair. To arrest tli'ese causes the article used must
possess medical as well ns chemical virtues, and the
change must begin under the fcalp to be of perma
nent and lasting benefit. Such an article is CAR
BOLINE, and, like many other wonderful discov
eries, it is found to consist of elements almost in
their natural state. Petroleum oil is the article
which is made to work such extraordinary results ;
but it is after it hns been chemically treated and
completely deodorized that it is in proper condition
for the toilet. It was in far-off Russia that the
effect of petroleum upon the lialr was first observed,
a Government officer having noticed that a partially
bald-headed servant of hi*, when trimming the
lamps, had a habit of wiping his oil-besmeared
hands in his scanty locks, and tlio result was in a
few months a much liner head of black, glossy hair
than however had before. The oil was tried on
horses and cattle that had lost their hair from the
cattle plague, aud the results were as rapid as they
were marvelous. The manes and even the tails of
horses, which had fallen out, were completely re
stored in a few weeks. These experiments were
heralded to the world, hut the knowledge was prac
tically useless to the prematurely bald and gray, os
no one in civilized society could tolerate the use of
refined petroleum as a dressing for the hair. But the
skill of ouc of our chemists has overcome the diffi
culty, and by a process known only to himself, ha
has, after Very elaborate and costly experiments, suc
ceeded in deodorizing refined petroleum, which
renders it susceptible of being handled as daintily
as the famous eau de cologne. The experiments with
the deodorized liquid on the human hair were at
tended with the most astonishing reeulU few
applications, where the hair was thin and falling,
gave remarkable tone and vigor to the scalp and
hair. Every particle of dandruff disappears on
the first or second dressing, and the liquid so search
ing in its nature, seems to penetrate to the roots at
once, and set up a radical change from the start. It
is well known that the most beautiful colors are
made from petroleum, and. by some mysterious
operation of nature, the use of this article gradu
ally import* a beautiful light-brown color to the
hair which by continued use, deepen* to a black.
The color remain* permanent for an indefinite length
of time, and the change is so gradual that the most
intimate friends can scarcely detect its progress.
In a word, it is the most wonderful discovery of
the age, and well calculated to make the prema
turely bald and gray rejoice.
We ndvise our readers to give it a trial, feeling
satisfied that one application will convince them of
it* wonderful effects.— PilUburgk Commercial of
Oct. 22, 1877. *
The article is telling its own story in the hands of
thousands who nre using it with the most gratifying
and encouraging results :
W. 11. Brilt. & Cos., Fifth Avenue Pharmacy, says.
“We have sold preparations for the hair for upward
of twenty years, but have never had one to sell as
well or give such universal satisfaction. We there
fore recommend it w ith confidence to our friends
and the general public.”
Mr. Gustavls F. llai.t,, of the Oates Opera
Troupe, writes: “After six weeks’ use lam con
vinced, as nre also my comrades, that your ‘ Carbo
line’ has and is producing a w onderful growth of
hair where 1 had none for years."
C. 11. Smith, of the Jennie llight Combination,
writes: “ After using your * Carboline’ three weeks
I am convinc and that bald heads can be * rc-haired.’
It’s simply wonderful in my case.”
B. F. Arthur, chemist, Holyoke, Mass., writes:
“.Your ‘ Carboline’ has restored my hair after every
thing else had failed.” * '
Joseph E. Tond, attorney-at-law, No. Attleboro.
Mass., writes : For more thnn 20 years n portion of
my head has been ns smooth nnd free from hair an a
billiard ball, but some eight weeks airo I was in
duced to try yonr Carboline, and the effect baa
been simply wonderful. Where no Hair has been
seen for years there now appears a thick growth,
and 1 am convinced that by continuing its use I shall
have as good a head of hair as I ever had. It is
growing now nearly as rapidly as hair docs after
It is cut.
CARBOLINE
Is now presented to the public without fear of con
tradiction as the best Restorative and Beautifler of
the Hair the world has ever produced.

•HT’The reports of wonderful cures of Rheum*!

REMARKABLE CURE OF SCROFULA, * 0
CASE OF COL. J. C. BRANSON.
Kingston, Ga., September 15, 1871,
Gents :—For sixteen years I have beenagreat
sufferer from Scrofula in its most distressing
forms. I been confined to my room and bed
for fifteen years with scrofulous ulcerations. The
most approved remedies for such cases had been
used, and the most eminent physicians consulted
without any decided benefit. * Thus prostrated'
distressed, desponding, 1 was advised by Dr’
Ayer, of Floyd County, Ga., to commence the use
of your Compound Extract Stillingia. Language
is as insufficient to describe the relief I obtained
from the use of the Stillingia as it is to convey u
adequate idea of the intensity of my suffering be
fore using your medicine; sufficient to s&y, I
abandoned all other remedies and continued the
use of your Extract of Stillingia, until I can say
truly, “ I am cured of all pam,” of all diseasr
with nothing to obstruct 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 remain, with
the deepest gratitude,
Your obedient servant,
J. C. BRANSON, Att’y at Law,
-A_ MIRACLE.
West Point, Ga., Sept. 16, 1870.
GENTS :~My daughter was taken on the 2oth
day of June, 1803, with what was supposed to be
Acute Rheumatism, and was treated forthesame
with no success. In March, following, pieces of
bone began to work out of the right arm, and con
tinued to appear till all the bone from the elbow
to the shoulder joint came out. Many pieces of
bone came out of the right foot and leg. The case
was then pronounced one of White Swelling. Af
ter having been confined about six years to her
bed, and the case considered hopeless, I was in
duced to try Dr. Pemberton's Compound Extract
of Stillingia, and was so well satisfied with its ef
fects that 1 have continued the use of it until the
present.
My daughter was confined to her bed about nix
years before she sat up or even turned over with
out 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. 1 attribute
her recover}", with the blessing of God, tothcu>e
of your invaluable medicine.
With gratitude, 1 am yours truly.
