One wlio ha* Inn# investigated this sub

that it is found in “Woman's Best Friend.”
It is adapted cepeciallv to that great central,
all-controlling organ, the womb, correcting
its disorders, and curing anv irregularity of
the “menses,” or courses.’’ Dr. J. Brad
field's Female Regulator acts like a charm
in whites, and in sudden or gradual check

courses,” from cold, mental trouble or like
causes, by restoring the natural discharge in
every instance. In chrome cases, so often
resulting tn ulceration, falling of the womb,
its action Is prompt and decisive, saving the
constitution from numberless evils and pre

When the small boys top rotates
at a speed that utterly dupes the
vision, he savs “it is asleep.” Are
our times asleep, or (It) they situply
speed at fin indistinguishable rate ?
Cycloues, bifurcated and trifurca
ted, yet raging loosely in all quar
ters, mingling with epidemic hy
drophobia, spring floods, stray carp
and catfish, “quiet elections,” nig
ger problems, etc. etc., rise and
fall, like olden empires, yet scarce
disturb the well-poised cheerfulness
of the many. Has a sounder phil
osophy possessed the public mind,
or stoic iudifference succeeded ? Is
it possible that the fourth estate
has fatigued the public discontent?
Are mankind jollv, through sheer
weariness of anxiety? Pdf Imps the
farcical after-pieces have sandpa
pered off the edges of tragic fervor.
Certainly we have had three Gov
ernors within a half year and the
fruit crop has survived politics and
false prophets. Storm pits are
prescribed and described. Very
well, but suppose the tornado “gits
thar fust” as Gen. Forrest would
say. Whose will be the pit then ?
Public calamity throws a goodly
accident into the Executive office
and the old thing moves along its
wonted grooves. Thereupon Gra
dy proclai as the administration
“courageous.” Wonder if anybody
scared little Aleck ? Doubtless the
Chief Magistracy is a penilous po
sition. But the wild beasts will
take themselves to their wilds,
when our Mack opens house on
Peachtree.
“A gallant fight” is the name
given to the abortive efforts of the
office-hunter to secure spoil. Mean
time the smirking appointed sim-j
pers behind his desk and imagines |
himself the State. The great com-1
moner, who “never made a mistake
in his life,” shrinks before the “nig- 1
ger problem” whilst village states-!
men solve it like a lump of sugar. 1
How does it seem, that a seces
sion, fire-eating, strict-construction
states-rights man should counsel in
comparative soberness, the forcible
colonization, by Congress, of six
millions of American citizens!
Where is the Constitutional per
mit? Why not white men as well
as black men ? What limitation on
Congressional power, in any direc
tion, if this thing may be done ?
Do these rustic Solons have any
conception of the office of a written
American Constitution?
Let these problems alone, my
little friends and in His own good
time, the Master will send Moses,
with full instructions. “The sky
is falling, Ducky Daddies,” so says
Mother Goose, from the baby hood
of Mathuselah. Neverthless the
Builder stands by His work and
“doeth all things well.” Let not
your heart be troubled about au
others responsibility. Blue mass
and bromide!
Affliction in other form has come
upon onr State. Gen. William M.
Browne, of the University, the Ad
mirable Crichton of Georgia schol
arship, was a modest, massive man.
His capacity for work was wonder
ful and its exerciseliisdelight. His
labors were all beneficent. He
achieved just the success under
taken, with such faeije deftness as
to escape observation? A labored
failure would have advertised hint
well.

The “Waverly Yyigaafno” thus
wisely discourses ctk.h Fn'ug poor
men’s wives. Many young men at.
the present time, are hindered from
serious attempts to find a wife be
cause they believe that the young
ladies of the present time who move
in the middle and higher circles of
society, will not be contented with
a plain and humble borne :
The trouble is, none of our
young women are willing to be
come poor men’s wives profes
sedly, even though they may be so
in reality. The giii who marries
upon a thousand dollars a year
looks forward to a life spent in sec
ond rate boarding houses, from
which she will squeeze out a certain
cheap domesticity and some inex
pensive pleasures. The children
which heaven may send are not
thought of nor provided for. It is
a question whether the young wife
can make herself a dress or pre
pare a wholesome meal of victuals.
She tparries for freedom, to have a
good time, spends money which she
neither earns nor helps to earn—
for heaven knows what—but cer
tainly uot to make ft comfortable if
humble home for bar husband. In
this respect we consider the Brit
ish girl has an immense advantage
over the American. From the
highest to the lowest circles of so
ciety in Britain, girls are trained
to make good and useful wives.
Inasmuch as ladies preside over
the department of their households,
and see that everything is kept
clean and the food is well cooked,
so also iu the lower classes, moth
ers teach their daughters to do the
same for themselves, without suf
fering any losq of dignity in the
doing of it. Many of our American
girls will be surprised to learn that
Princess Louise frequently makes
her own pastry—and makes it well,
too. On one occasion, some apri
cot tarts of her making being prais
ed by a guest, the royal lady wrote
out a receipt, with the words un
derlined : “If you desire to have
an apricot tart properly cooked, al
ways make it with an upper crust!”
The s ory has point, and the point
is that one can never know how to
do a thing too well.

THAT HORRID BOY,
AND THETERRIBLE PRANK
HE PLAYED.
ILE AND HIS CHUM PLAY BURGLARS,
AND THE FATHER ALMOST DIES—A
; PATENT LINIMENT POURED ON, DAD
RECOVERS.
“I hear you had burglars over
!to your house last night,” said the
! grocery man to the bad boy, as he
j came in and sat on the counter
' right over a little gimlet hole, where
the grocery man had fixed a darn
jing needle so that by pulling a
, stringy the needle would fly up
through me Mole rhq rub into the
jboyabcut an inch. The grocery
| man had been laying for the boy
(for two days, and now that he had
! got him right over the hole the first
i time, it made him laugh to think
j how he would make him jump and
yell, and as he edged off and got
;hold of the stung the boy looked
!unconscious of impending danger.;
(The grocery imiu pulled and the:
j boy sat still. He pulled again |
j and again, and finally tho boy said:
“Yes, it is reported that we had
burglars over there. O, needn’t
pul! that string any more; I heard
you was setting a trap for me, and :
I put a piece of a board iuside my |
pants, aud thought I would let you !
exercise yourself. Go ahead, if it
.amuses you. It don’t hurt me.”
The grocery man looked sad, aud
then smiled a sickly sort of a smile
at the. failure of his plan to puncture
the boy, aud then said :
“Well, how was it ? The poliece
tmtu did uot seem to know much
about the particulars. He said
there was so much deviltry going
on at your house that nobody could
tell when anything was serious, aud
he was inclined to think that it was
a put up job.”
“Now let’s have an understand
ing,” says the boy. “Whatever I
say you are not to give me away.
It’s a go, is it ? I have always been
afraid of you, because you have a
sort of decayed egg look about you.
Yon are like a peck of potatoes with
the big ones on top, a sort of a
strawberry box with the bottom
raided mi, so I have often thought
you would go buck on a fellow. lint
if you won’t give this away, here
goes You see I heard urn tell pa
to bring up another bottle of lini
ment lust night. ‘When ma lias a
pain anywhere she just use3 lini
ment for all that is out, and a pint
bottle don’t last more than a week.
“Well, I lokl my chum, and we
laid for pa. This liniment ma uses
is offul hot; and almost blisters. Pa
went to the Langtry show, and did
uot get home till eleven o’clock, and
me and my chuin decided to teach
pa a lesson. I don’t think it is
right for a man to go to the thea
tre and not take bis wife or his little
boy. So we concluded to burgle
pa. We agreed to lay on the stairs,
and when became up my chum was
to hit on the head with a dried blad
der and I was to stab him on his
breast pocket with a stick, break
the liniment bottle, and make him
think lie was killed. It coudn’t
have worked better if we had re
hearsed it. We had talked about
burglars at supper time, and got
pa. nervous, so when he came up
stabs and was hit on the head with
the bladder, the first thing he said
was burglars by mighty and he star
ted to go back and then I hit him on
the breast pocket, where the bot
tle was, and then we rushed by him
down stairs, and I said in a stage
whisper, “I guess he’s a dead man,”
and we went down to the cellar and
up the back stairs to toy room and
undressed. Pa hollered to ma that
he was murdered, and ma called
me, and I came down in my night
shirt, and the hired girl she came
down, and pa was on the lounge,
and he said his lifeblood was fast
ebbing awfiy, He held his hand
on the wound, and said he could
feel tire warm blood trickling clear
down to Ins boots. I told pa to
stuff some tar into the wound, such
as he told me to put on mv lip to
make my mustache grow, and pa
said: “My boy, this is no time for
trifling; your pa is on his last legs.
When I came up stairs I-met six
burglars, and I attacked them, and
forced four of them down, and was
going to hold them and send for
the poliece, when two more, that
I did u<>t know about, jumped on
me, and I was getting the best of
them, when one of them struck me
over the head with a crow bar. and
the other stabbed me to the heart
with a butcher kuife. I have re
ceived rny death wound, my boy,
and my hot Southern blood, that
I offered up so freely for my coun
try in her time of need, is passing
from my body, and soon your pa
Will be only a piece of poor clay.
Get some ico and put on my stom
ach, and all the way dowD, for I
am burning up.”
“I went to the water pitcher and
got a chunk of ice and put inside
pa’s shirt, and while ma was tear
ing np an old skirt to stop the flow
!of blood, I asked pa if he felt bet
; ter, and if he could describe those
villains who had murerdedhim. Pa
' gasped and moved his legs to got
| them cool from the clotted blood,
he said, nud he went on : One of
them was about six foot high and
had a sandy mustache. I got him
| down and hit him in the nose, stud
if the poliece find him his nose will
: be broke, '.rite second one was
thick set and weighed about two
hundred. I had him dowD, and
jmy boot was on his ueck, and wus
| knocking two more down when I
jwas hit. The thick set one will
have the mark of boot heels on his
i throat. r, ’ell the police, when I'm
'gone, about tke boot heel marks.
‘By- this time run had got the
j skirt tore up, and she stuffed it un
: der pa’s shirt, right where he said
jhe was hit, and pa was telling us
j what to do to settle his estate, when
ma began to smell the liniment,
and she found the broken bottle in
; his pocket, and searched pa for the
place where he was stabbed, aud 1
! then she begun to laugh, and pa
got mad aud said he didn’t see as
a deathbed scene was such an al
mighty funny affair, aud then she
told him he was not hurt, but that
he had fallen on the stairs and
broke his bottle, and that there
was no blood c n him, and he said,
do yon mean to tell me ruy body
aud legs are not bathed iu human
gore,” and then pa got tip and
found it was ouly tho liniment. He
got mad and asked ma why she
didn’t fly around and get some
thing to take that liniment off his
legs, as it was eating them right
through to the bone, and then he
saw my chum put his head in the
door, with one gallus hanging
down, and pa looked at uie and
then he said, “Look a-here, if I
find out .it was you boys that
put up this job on me, I’ll make it
so hot for you that you will think
liniment is ice-cream in compari- ;
son.” I told pa it didn’t look rea
sonable that mo and my chum
; -. v. v..
could bo six burglers, six feet high,
with our noses broke, and bootheel
marks our neck, and pa he said for
us to go to bed alllired quick, and
give him a chance to rinse of that
liniment, and we retired. Say,
how does my pa strike you as a
good single-handed liar? and the
boy went up to the counter while
the grocery.man went alter a scut
tle of coal.
j In the meantime, one of the gro
cery man’s best customers, a dea
cou iu the church, had come and
sat down on the counter, over the
darning needle, and as the grocery
man came in with the coal the boy
pulled the string, went out doors
and tipped over a basket of ruta
bagas, while the deacon got down
off the counter with his hand clasp
ed, and anger in every feature,
and told the grocery man that he
could whip him iu two minutes.
Tiie grocery man asked what was
the matter, and the deacon hunted
up the sewreo from whence the
darning needle came through the
counter, and as the boy went
across the street the deacon and
the grocery man wore rolling on
the floor, the grocery man trying
to hold the deacon’s fists while he
explained about the darning nee
dle, and that it it was intended for
the, boy. How it came out the boy
did not wait to see.

Let your children always under
stand that you mean what you say.

WHOLE NUMBER 519;
MALYUIAL DISEASES.
A SCIENTIFIC INVESTIGATION SHOWS
THE ORIGIN OF'FEVERS.
From the Atlanta Constitution.
Dr. James H. Salisbury publish
es iu a recent number of the Scien
| tific American the results of a mi
j nute, patient and thorough investi
gation of the cause of mtdaria. He
had the aid of all that scientific
knowledge and mechanical skill
could supply, and he gave years to
; tho important subject. As the
grand result of all his work he tells
us that the cause of the disease
that afflicts no small portion of the
country is found in a very small
plant that prefers a newly exposed,
low-lyig rich soil— a-pluie, in oth
,cr words, in the soil of a swainpv
Sec'iou. He calls this enemy of
!.mankind the ague-plant. It is nev
jer, lie says, wanting where malari
|al fevers are found. It is ofteu
;carried by the wind to consideraV
ble dis 1 antes, producing, in such
i cases, the Saule results as charac
terize its place of germination. It
sometimes remains suspended iu
the evening or early morning air,
and whenever it thus exists disease
I quickly follows.
i When first inhaled, says Dr. Sal
lisbury, it causes in a few uiiuutes,
I a dry, feverish, constricted feeling
in tiie mouth, fauces and throat,
| and the feeling soon extends dowu
i ward to the bronchial and pnlrno
| nary surfaces, producing iu them a
j constricted, feverish, heavy, con
jgestive feeling and dull pain. The
! matter from the ague plant poisons
| the surface with which it comes iu
j contact, nud there seems to be an
I effort on the part of the exposed
mucous surfaces to close up their
absorbent orgaus until this poison
ous matter can be dislodged by the
swallowing, hawking aud spitting
they excite. The only constant for
eign bodies found in the expecto
rations of those afflicted with the
local symptoms here uatued, exci
ted by walking over ague bogs, of
,by exposing one’s self to heavy
j night air of ague districts, are the
! minute excellnlar particles of the
I ague plant. These particles excite
I local fever in the mucous’surfaces,
j and at length there is general fever
iof an intermittent or remittent
i type.
j Whether the reader accepts the
doctor’s theory or not, his experi
ments can scarcely fail to bo inter
esting. Ho produced disease in
persons living many miles from dis
tricts afflicted with chills and fever,
simply by exposing them to the
emanations from cakes of boggy
soil on which the villainous little
ague plaut was growing—this, too,
jun a high, hilly country, having a
dry, sandy and rocky soil, on which
there had never been a case of
ague. “I here placed,” says the
doctor, “six boxes of ague plants
on the sill of an open second-story
window opening into the sleeping
apartments of two young men. On
the twelfth day one of the young
meu had a well-marked parox
ysm of ague, and on the fourteenth
the other was taken down with the
disease. Both had began to feel
dull and unnatural on the sixth
j day. All three stages of the parox
lysit were well marked, the type be
ing tertian.” The doctor found the
result highly satisfactory,” and re
peated the experiment at another
point in the same neighborhood os.
a young man and two boys. In
this instance “the boys were taken,
down with this disease, one ou the
tenth and one on the thirteenth day
of exposure, while the young man
escaped.” Another instance.is ci
ted iu which a physician, his wife
and daughter, were all afflicted with
well marked paroxysms of ague
from having spent several evenings
in a room in which a “pan of ague
soil” had been pat away, covered
loosely and forgotten," What adds
interest to this ease is the fact that
it occurred in winter, after the
ground had been frozen and all
danger of taking the disease out
side the house had ceased. It is
inferred that the artificial warmth
of the room had protracted the
ague plaut’s period of summer
growth.
If Dr. Salisbury is sure of bis
facts, if he can, in other words es
tablish all that lie states bv actual
demonstration, it is difficult to av
oid an acceptance of his theory.
If we have an ague plaut in our
swamps and lieli low lands, it is
very important that we should
know it The stirring of such soil
iu the making of ditches or other
work in the hot season of the year
is a matter of life and death and if
people can be brought face to face
with the direct cause of the disease
in such cases, gi eater care will be
taken to avoid the penalty. ‘ The
ague-plant theory has just been
presented to the public, and it bus
not of course been generally accep
ted by the scientific world ; but let
us hope that the investigation wilt
not slacken uutil its truth or falsi*
tv is demonstrated beyond reason*
able doubt. "
