An Ungallant Joke.
She came from iDctroit IST icliigftti,
and her great pride was being an
invalid. She lost no oppoitunitv
in stating that she came to Minne
sota to recuperate. She did not
hesit at e to enter into con\ ei sat ion
with any person she came in con
tact with, giving advice, climatolog
ical or physiological, to invalids,
and seeding the same from those
of robust constitution. Her con
versation was always prefaced with
the introductory inquiry, so com
mon to visitors, “Hid you come
here for your health? She thus
addressed a stalworth, ruddy-visug
cd young man at the dinner table
of the Metropolitan a few days
since, and the following dialogue
ensued:
‘’Yes, madam, I came here proba
bly the weakest person you ever
saw. 1 had no use of my limbs;
in fact, my bones were but little
tougher than cartilages. I had no
intelligent control of a single music,
nor the use of a single faculty.”
“Great heavens!” exclaimed the
astonished auditor, “and you liv
ed r
“I did, Miss, although I was de
void of sight, was absolutely tooth
less, unable to articulate a single
word, and dependent on others tor
for everything, being completely de
prived of ail power to help myself.
I commenced to gain immediately
upon my arrival, and have scarcely
experienced a sick day since, lienee
I can conscientiously recomcnd the
climate.”
“A wonderful case,” said the la
dy, “but do you think your lungs
-were affected ?”
“They were probably sound, but
possessed of so little vitality that,
but for the most careful nursing,
they must have ceased their func
tions.”
“I hope you found kiud friends,
sir?”
“Indeed I did, inadame; it is to
them and the pure air of Minesota
that I owe n. iifo. My father's
family were w me, but, unfortu
nately, my momer was prostrated
by severe illness during the time of
my greatest prostration.”
“How said! l’ray, what was your
diet and treatment?”
My diet was the simplest possible,
consisting only of milk, that being
the only food my system would
bear. As for treatment, I depend
ed entirely upon the life-giving
properties of Minesota air, and took
no Medicine except an occasional
narcotic when very restless. My
improvment dated from my arrival.
My limbs soon became strong, my
sight and voice came to me slowly,
and a full set of teeth, regular and
firm, appeared.”
“Remarkable, miraculous! Sure
ly, sir, you must have been greatly
reduced in ilesh ?”
“Madam, I weighed but nine
pounds, I was born in Minnesota.

A man, and dog and loaded
shot gun all got over a rail fence at
a time out in Scriba one day last
week. The family knew it when the
dog came home alone with blood on
his tail.
tfeg™ An impulsive young man in
Hamshire county, Massachusetts,
at a church revival meeting the oth
er night prayed that God would
bless the young ladies between
whom he had been sitting “especial

•and they climbed a steep ladder to
the top of the new Capitol build

scend that - ladder, he said, “I’ll go
down and steady the ladder.” She

In Detroit, recently, when a

HEBE IS YOUR CHANCE
TO SECURE A
10,000 ACRES OF
PINE LAND
lix One Body,
ir’on
Attention, Everybody ! !
IOF EER FOR SAM. A VALUABLE BODY OF
“ Land containing
KM >OO Acres
Situated immediately on the Altamaha Hirer, fif
teen miles from Darien, and extending for fifteen
miles uii the. River, along which water front there
are five Steamboat,Landings, .and one regularly
Chartered Ferry,
In successful operation; being nbont twenty
miles from the thriving city of Bruntwiek. A
particular feature of these lands is the existence
of numeroue Lakes at short distances—said Lakes
being valuable ai rafting aoy kind of timber. Be
ii.gr.talow stage of tho water on tide-way, tim
ber can bo brought to Darien at all times of the
year in from twelve to twenty-four hours. For
timber of
PITCH PINE, OAK, HICKORY,
POPLAR AND CYPRESS.
They have no superior in tho South, their being
on tide-way, put them above all other Timber
Lands on the Altamaha in easy access to mar
ket.
The near proximity of these lands to Darien
wakes tho cost of drifting nominal, when com
pared with price paid from farther up the [river.
An immense amount of
WOOD
Can be sold annually to Steamboats plying on the
River, and in tho cities of Savannah, Darien and
Brunswick.
In addition to the River for transportation to
market, the Macon A Brunswick Railroad runs
along the back portion of tho Lands for miles, be
ing at no place more than two miles from the
line. For
F’Jk.PtMIIKrCS-
these laiulß offer unusual inducements, being es
pecially adapted to the growing of Cotton,*Oom,
Sugar Cane, Oats, Irish and Sweet Potatoes, and
all Fruits and Vegetables that can be grown ir.
the Southern country. On the lands are several
Farms containing fair houses for t.he county, and
several hundred acres of clearing in successful
cultivation.
T 1133 HEALTH
Of the highlands is good, as the appearance of the
inhabitants will indicate.
Twenty miles from Darien and immediately or.
the Itivor may bo found an immense quantity
of
Brick Clay,
This Clay was thoroughly examined jbv a gen
tlcman having both a Practical and Scientific
knowledge of the necessary requirements of clay
for Brick. The fact of its being at tbe very
Waters Edge
The manufacture of Brick could'bc 'successfully
carried on with Email capital
In the event of the completion of the
Great Western
O IV L 9
Which at present Seems very probabio at an early
day, the value of these lands would be greatly
enhanced, and prove a splendid investment to the
purchaser.
THE INCREASING
Demand for Pitch Pine will in a few years thin
out the vast forests of Pine in* the South, and
cause
PITCH PI\E LOIRER
To bring a fabulous price in the markets of the
world.
In the present depressed condition ofbusmess,
capitalists can do no better than invest their sur
plus funds in this species of property.
I would also soil about One Hundred Head of
STOCK CATTLE,
Timber (’arts and Teams,
And also my entire stock of HOGS. The range
for miles is considered as good for cattle and
hogs as any in the
SOUTH.
ALSO
FIVE HEAD OF MULES,!
