Maj. T. M. Furlow, who once ran for

probably,the richest man in Sum

road was being surveyed through this
country there was n good deal cf dis
cussion as U whether it should go
through Poadtown, now EUsville, In
Schley, or through Americas—neither
of which wero more than villages then.
There were powerful influences brought
to bear on the railroad men, and it
looked as if the chances were all in
favor of Pondtown, when T. M. Fur-
low came to the rescue, raised $75,000
and brought the road to Americas.
Then there was some dissstisfsetior
about the matter, and Furlow and s
few friends decided to purchase a beau
tiful tract of land, not far from Ameri
cas, and build a town of their own, hut
ths difference was compromised and
Americas was made. Maj. Furlow
owned a beautiful piece of property, in
this city, called Furlow Lawn. It
consisted of about thirty acres, sad in
the midst of it stood his' beautiful
dwelling. Here were feasted and en
tertained, in princely style, the nobles
of this State, and distinguished guests
from ether countries. It obtained a
notable reputation—that hospitable
home mid the cedars and pines. Its
benevolent ownsr established the ool-

WASHINGTON LETTER.
(From Our Regular Correspondent.)
Washington, D. O., April 5,’85
The appointments of Mr. Edward J.
Phelps, of Vermont, as Minister to En
gland is due chiefly, it is stated, to the
fact that he has been a warm admirer
of Secretary Bayard and an earnest ad
vocate for his nomination for the presi
dency. The next strongest influence
ia his favor was the feet that Senator
Edmunds agrees with Mr. Bayard
about his talents and fitness for the
post to which he has been . appoints!.
The following gossip is interesting in
this concoction. Mr. Cleveland met
Edward J. Phelps some years ago and
liked him. When he asked Bra<l
Smalley abont him, the latter acknow
ledged there was such a person living
at Burlington, hut added (enthusiastic-
ly, of course,) that he would not ac
cept a political office. "I thought
replied the administration, "he is the
kiad of man I am looking for.’’ Smal
ley’s snthasiasm sines the appointment
knows no bounds.
It is stated at the White House that

time it was thought that
Vioe President and Mrs. Hendrix,who,
sines ooming to Washington, have at
tended the Church as the guests ot Mr.
and S. V. Niles,would secure this pew.
They have, however, almost decided
upon identifying themselves with the
Church of tbe Ascension. Secretary
and Mrs. Vilas for the present occupy
sente in the pew of their friends, Mr.
and Mrs. Leitcr; at St.Sohn’s Secre
tary and Mrs. Manning have the pew
of Mrs. Frank Beach. Mrs. Whitney
and Mrs. Edincott have also attended
St. John’s Church several times in tbe
past few wssks.
The presence of “Brick” Pomeroy
and sx-Senator Pomeroy ia the city
just now recalls a story I heard some
time ago. "Brick" was climbing his
genealogical tree somewhere out West,
and wrote to Pomeroy, then in
Senate, asking to know which branch
of the Pomeroy family the Senator be
longed to. The answer was: "Tell me
which branch you belong to, and I’ll
belong to the other.” “Brick" was
vary mad, and said; "I’ll get even with
old pomme-de-terre yet.” I wonder
if be has; or intends to do it in ths pa
per hs has just started here. If the
ton* bf tbe United States Democrat
it any evidence, I should say be could
soon gat not only even with the other
branch of the Pomeroy family, but con
siderably ahead.

and two dhildrea with him, have taken
n part of the suite of rooms so long oc
cupied by Gaoeral and Ms*. Logan.

Specific
Mercury and Potash Vanquished
Mr. Wiley F. Hood, known to al
oe! every man, woman and child in
Athens, beers the following testimony
ns to th* virtues of Swift’s
(S. 8. 8.)
For twelve years I suffered from
euritl poison, with all of its torturing
pains. I waa treated by several phy
sicians, and was dosed on iodide of
potassium abundantly. This treat
ment increased my trouble. My blood
was thoroughly infected; my skin was
thick and yellow; my stomach wai
weak so that I could not retain my food;
my person was broken out with sore*
which became offensive ulcers, and my
strength was gone. Mercury brought
on rheumatism, and potash had ruined
my stomach, and 1 thought there was
nothing left for me to do bat die—so
thought many of my friends a* I went
hobbling along th* street. I tried all
remedies within reach, but to no avail.
At last a friend suggested tbe use ol
Swift’s Specific. Like many other
drowning men, I was ready to catch at
any straw that came in sight. I pro
cured six bottles from Dr. Long. The
first bottle gave me hope. The nausea
of tbe stomach disappeared, and by
th* time I had taken the third bottle
the hard lumps on my neck wentawsy;
the ulcers were healed; my oomplexion
cleared up, my skin smoothed off and
mv strength began to return. I have
taken in all about thirty bottles. It
has mads a new man of me. I aa n
man of 63 years, but am strong and
vigorous, eat anything and do any kiad
of work. I am sound and well. It is
ay honest opinion that Swift’s Specific
has taken me from the grave’s moi
and added many years to my life,
would rsoommend it to suffering hu
manity everywhere, not aa a universal

Temperance Fanatics.
A New York special says: “Oas
thing troubles tbe General greatly—
namely, the pile of telegrams being
fa by fanatical tempmanoa asso
ciations from ail over the country.
Abont twenty telegrams arrived yester-
day begging th* General to forego his
m of brandy. These tem
perance associations actually believe
that General Grant la not the dying
he is, bnt that he has.been on a
spree, and that he is keeping it ap, end
loves brandy so much that he has it
injected hypodermically." .
The people who are wonying Miss
Cleveland to keep wine from th* table
of her brother, in th* White House, are
adding to th* misery which afflicts the
dying moments of General Grant.
shameful that he should be sub.
jected to such insults at such a time,
bnt only illustrates to what lengths
people will go when absorbed by one
idea, and that one directed to looking
reskneaaes of other people.
The ignorance which can suppose Gen.
Grant’s condition to be the result of an
excessive use of liquor, is only equaled
by the impudence which thrusts such
esaages into his death-room.
Temperance in all things is desira
ble, but it was never more lacking L
anybody or any movement than ii
those who would mock tbe last mo
■ man suffering physical and
mental agonies. Gen. Grant's condi
tion is such that he can only be kept
quiet from midnight until dawn by
heavy doses of opiates. When the ef
fect of these begin to wear away comes
the depression, which threatens to car
ry him off,alarms hi* family and friends
and ia attributed to some affection of
the heart. Hypodermic injections of
brandy are then need to produce a reac
tion and to put him in a condition to
take nourishment. Those affected aa
hs is die from want of nourishment,be
ing unable to take food. If the medi
cal bnlletim are to he credited, Gen.
Grant is yet far from this condition. If
brandy will sustain him it should ba
used freely, or anything else that may
prolong his life, and it it a pity that
the law has not provided some proceed
ing by which people who insult him
and add to his misery cannot be locat
ed and punished. If liquor it responsi
ble for much of crime and human mis
ery, fanaticism in all ages has finish
ed its full quota of disorders, violence
and unhappiness. The temperance
