J’emherton: Dkak Sru—lt gives me pleasure to furnish you with an account of the remarkable cure which I have experienced from the use of vour Compound Extract of Stillingia. For sixteen years I have been a great sufferer from Scrofula iu its most distressing forms. 1 have been confined to my room and bed for fifteen years with scrofulous ulcerations. Such was my condition—far more painful and distressing than language can describe. Most of the time 1 was unable to rise from bed. The most approved remedies for sucli cases had been used, und the most eminent physicians consulted, without any decided benefit. Thus prostrated, distressed desponding, I was advised by Doctor Ayer, of Floyd county, Georgia, to commence tiie u»e of your Compound Extract of Stillingia. Language is insufficient to describe the relief I obtained from the use of the Stillingia as it is to convey an adequate idea of the intensity ofmy suffering betore using your medicine; sufficient to »ay, “I am cured of all pain,” of all disease, with nothing te obstruct tne active pursuit of my profession. More than eight months have elapsed since this remarkable cure, without any return Os the disease. For the above statement 1 refer to any gentleman in Bartow county, Georgia, and to the members of the bar of Cherokee Circuit, who are acquainted witli me. I shall ever remain, sir, witli the deepest gratitude, Four obedient servant, J. C. BRANSON. August 15,1872—1 m. STERLING SILVER-WARE. SHARPA FLOYD No. 33 Whitehall Street, ATLANTA.

The enormous beds iu fashion in tho middle ages, in which not only the whole family, but favorite domestic animals, hunting dogs, cats, etc., re posed together, excite our liveliest as tonishment. In those days the aristo cracy did not find it undignified to share their couches with friends or rrncai-o bA- rr I.► *l—-- *--^xi'tllHy. It was on the contrary, considered a mark of sincere friendship. It is now commonly believed that where two persons sleep together, one abstracts from the other some amount of vital forco. This is especially the case where old and young persons share the same bed. Besides in a room where there is no decided cur rent of air, the emanations from the luugs and skin of the sleeper poison the atmosphere for a considerable distance. In the public wards of the great hospitals,' never less than two n*.*» a null let! is allowed between each bed, for tins mason. In the sleeping apartments oi royalty and nobility single beds are everywhere the rule, and nowhere the exception. The Emperor of Germany sleeps up on a narrow bed and a hard mattress. Tho single bed-covering is a wadded silk quilt. The Emperor aud Empress of Austria take their royal slumblers on similar beds, with the same de scription of coverlet. One of the principal advantages of these narrow beds is that the mattresses are more easily aired. Even the poorest house wiles iu Germany recognize the fact that bedding requires daily airing, and r.n a pleasum. day iu winter, anti nearly every day in summer, one may see stretched out of the court yard window for an entire half day the featherbeds and coverings so dear to the heart of a German frau.— Galaxy. HEAVEN. There every house is a palace, every step a triumph, every stroke of the bell a wedding peal, every day a jubilee and every hour a rapture. The re unions of heaven, too, will be better than all our conceptions of them.— How glad we are to meet a friend iu some foreign land, when we have crossed the seas; but when we have crossed the sea of death, and meet the friends of years gone by, how de lighted we shall be. Now when we see a friend after a lapse of ten or twelve years, and notice the increas ing wrinkles and new marks of sor row and disappointment, we exclaim: How you have changed! But wheu we see these frinds in heaven, with all the marts of sorrow gone, then shall! we say indeed: How you hare chang ed! Here good-byes and farewells fill the air; childhood lisps it aud old age answers. Good-bye ends the banquet and closes the Christmas chant; but not so iu heaven. Wel comes fill the air, but no good-byes. The group there is constantly be ing augmented. Our friends are join ing it; Jordan’s waves roar so hoarse ly that we cannot hear their voices from the other side. We call to them tut get no answer, and unbelief says they are dead, but the Bible tells us no! They are waiting for our coming. We shall grasp their hands at last in the glorious reunion of heaven.— Rev. T. L). Talmadge. Marriage Conducive to Longevity. —Those dry but useful people who delight iu statistics have been investi gating the effect of marriage and ce libacy on mortality. They have de monstrated to then* satisfaction the beneficial effect of marrage upon lon gevity. The last person who has de voted his attention to this subject is M. Bertillon. His statistics cover the States of I ranee, Holland and Belgi um. According to M. Bertillon be tween the ages of 20 and 30 out of 1,000 married men there are G deaths, out of 1,000 bachelors 10 deaths, aud 1,000 widowers 22 deaths. Between 30 and 35 the deaths in the same number are: Married men 7, bache lors 11, aud widowers 17. Between 35 aud 40 years of age mortality per 1,000 is: Married men 8, bachelors 13, and widowors 17. Continuing these calculations through different series of years, the advantage ou the score of longevity is always on the ! side of the married men. “You see, grandmamma, we perfo rate an aperture in tho apex, and a corresponding aperture in the base; and applying the egg to the lips, and forcibly inhaling the breath, the shell is entirely discharged of its contents.” “Bless my soul,’’ cried the old lady, “what wonderful improvements they do make! Now, in my younger days, we just made a "hole in each end and sucked.” Three millions four hundred and fifty thousand bales is our Southern cotton crop for this year, as estimated by the Department of Agriculture, which is 1G per cent, increase upon the crop of last year. THE HORSE DISEASE. HOW IT WAS TREATED IN THE UNITED STATES ARMT IN 1868. The horse disease continues its spread and now there are but few even private stables that are not at tacked. Yesterday with the excep tion of the street cars, there was hard ly a vehicle of any kind visible on Main street, even at noon day. Milk men and the transier and express: com panies now use mules, bat in tvro or three days more, in all probability, these will be attacked, and then trans portation, except by ox power, will ; cease. All the doctors have ceased to ride, their buggy horses being sick, and now the day and night officers of the police walk over the town looking after the “stars,” instead of riding, as ; heretofore. FIRE ENGINE HORSES SICK. The fire engine horses are all sick, and immediate steps should be taken by the fire department to organize bodies of either paid or volunteer fireman for each engine house. There should be a sufficient number of men at each house to pick the engine up 1 in case of an alarm, and “jump’er” right along, without losing time. The cost will be comparatively email, and in the event of a large fire, their sal aries would be saved many times over to the city'. Iu other cities where the I epidemic has raged, volunteer compa nies have been formed of shopmen and mechanics, working contiguous to the various engine houses. Hundreds of able-bodied men do business with in a minute’s ruu of each of the four engine houses, and if called upon by the proper persons, would, without doubt, gladly join a company of this kind. Let the Captain of each house organize a company of volunteers to day, and then man his engine and hose carriage with good stout ropes properly, and, in the event of a fire, there will be no cause for complaint about the time of the arrival of en ! gines. IN THE COUNTRY. Out in the country the horse disease is spreading as thoroughly as in the ; city, all of the horses and mules for miles around being attacked. At He j lena, Arkansas fV> ~ flas made ! lta aP poarance, and yesterday the two j iivery and sale stables oi that town ; were closed. Tho spreading of the disease in the country proves its at mospheric nature, aud that it was uot “caught,” as many havo contested, from other horses. In view of the ravages of the horse disease in and about Memphis, the following will be found both interest esting and useful: General Roberts, U. S. A., has writ ten this lotter to Mr. Robert Bonner, relative to tho horse disease: Springfield, Mass., Oct. 23, 1872. Mr. BoNNER-Dear Sir: In tho spring of 18G8, a disease broke out among my cavalry horses at Fort Sumner, New Mexico, that appears to me iden tical with that now raging among the horses in our city, and in a very few days became an epidemic. At first it defied all treatment, and the great majority of horse3 attacked by it died. On examining the throats of the dead horses I found the lining membrane of the larnyx highly in flamed and thickened, and a thick mu cous pus filling it, causing suffocation. I ordered all horses on the first ap pearance of the disease, to bo thorou ghly rubbed between the lower jaws and along the larnyx down the neck with spirits of turpentine, causing a very severe external irritation and blister. I saved every horse thus treated, and iu a very few days entirely broke the distemper and checked the epi demic. I do not doubt that thousands of horses, where tho epidemic prevails, can be saved by adopting this treat ment. It acts more quickly as a coun ter-irritant than any other remedy I know, and relieves the fever of the membrane of the larnyx in a few hours. Besides, spirits of turpentine is al ways at hand, and can be moro readi ly applied than any other counter-irri tant. It should be thoroughly rub bed in through the hair to the skin, for a distance of some twelve or thir teen inches, under the jaws and down tho neck of the horse, immediately over the larnyx. The remedy is severe, and makes the skin sore for several weeks, and for an hour causes great suffering to the horse. But it acts promptly and effectively, and, in my judgement it will be found the best, and perhaps the only cure for this fa tal malady causing such suffering and loss among horses throughout the country. My love of horses induces me to address you, aud to ask you to give this communication such place iu your paper as to reach the public in the most prompt and general way, and stay one of the greatest misfor tunes now threatening all communi ties, and destroying by thousands the noblest animal created for the service of man. Very truly yours, R. S. Roberts, Brevet Brigadier General U. S. Army. Palmetto paper is exciting the at tention of capitalists just now. Mr. Henry Banks, of Atlanta, is organiz ing a stock company to introduce the manufacture of this paper into Geor gia. The proposed location of this mill is on a water power in Lowndes county, in the midst of palmetto growth, of immense capacity, suffi cient to make 20,000 pounds of pa per per day, and a sufficient quantity of this plant grows within an area of ten miles to supply a 20,000 pound mill a year. The lady members of the First Baptist Church in Nashville, Teuu., have agreed that they will dispense with all finery on Sunday, wearing no jewels but consistency, and hereafter appear at church in plain calioo dress es. This is a matter which has at tracted considerable attention of late, and in many cities prominent ladies are taking the same view of the ques tion of dress as that held by the Nashville ladies referred to. “ What is that, children ?” asked a young pastor, exhibiting to his Sun day-school a magic lantern picture of a poor sinner clinging to the cross towering out of stormy waves in mid ocean. Robinson Crusoe! was the in stant reply. A minister made an interminable call upon a lady of his acquaintance. Her little daughter, who was present, grew very weary of his conversation, and at last whispered in an audible key: “ Didn’t he bring his amen with him, mamma?” What would a pig do who wished to build himself a habitation ? Tie a knot iu his tail aud call it a pig’s-tie. THE PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE. We gave our readers the fall mes sage of the President yesterday in a supplement. The doeument is a very practical one, dealing in narration and statis tics. It recounts the acts of his ad ministration for the year. It states the Alabama claims settlement by the Geneva tribunal, and the San Juan boundary decision, as fixing up two matters of serious difference between this country and England. It howev er makes no allusion to the ridiculous farce perpetrated be Grant’s adminis tration in pressing the “Indirect dam ages” claim, nor how it stubbed itself by rejecting Revtrdy Johnson’s trea ty, and afterwards substantially adop ting it. The fishery matter is advised to be settled aud a recommendation made for fixing the boundary of Alaska. Our foreign relations are reported all serene. The suggestions is made to invite the International Statistical Congress in this country in L 876 Recommendation is made to appro priate money to have the United States represented at the Vienna Ex position. Appropriation is urged to carry on I the Mexican Claims Commission. A reference is made to Cuba, hoping thatjslavery will be abollished there. Spain and the South American re publics are making peace; also Brazil and the Argentine Confederacy. The United States is friendly with all these powers. Venezuela still owes us money. Japan is very friendly with us. Grant urges the transfer of the ter ritories from the Department of State to that of the Interior. Aid to dis tressed seamen is recommended. The net receipts of the Treasury for the year endmg Juuo 20, 1872, are $374,106,867. The Treasury bal auce is $109,035,795. The expendi tures, exclusive of debt, are $377,478,- 216. A net reduction of public debt is claimed of $99 960,353. A reduc tion of the debt from March 1, 1869, is claimed of $363,696,999. He advises against any more re duction of taxes. The War Department cost $35,372,- IR7, or $427,834 less than last J-'* - *'* Thn Liie navy is alluded to, and the damaging admission made that unless early steps are taken to preserve the navy, in a few years the United States will be the weakest on the the ocean. The Post Office Department cost $26,658,195, and received $21,915,426. The railroad mail lines are 57,911 miles, of which 8,077 were put in op eration last year. Our foreign letters numbered 24,352,500, or 4,077,502 more than last year. The abolition of franking is urged. The acquisition of all the telegraph lines by the government is advocated. The falling off iu thecarrying trade is stated and five millions expendi ture a year advised to remedj it. The uecessity and silutary effect of the enforcement and election laws are briefly pressed. Belief in the existence of tho Ku- Ivlux is declared and continued war on it announced. The success of the administration’s Indian policy is claimed. The plan seems to be to convert the territory South of Kansas into an Indian do main aud send all the Indians there. Os the public lands 11,864,475 acres were disposed of last year.

The territories are reported in good fix, except in Utah where the extinc tion of polygamy is desired. The planting of forest trees is urged. The purpose to push civil service reform is expressed. Tho übove gives the points of the message. There is a noticeable avoid ance of all allusion to the South, to amnesty, or any of the matters so ve hemently agitated in the late canvass. The following is tho first verse of the new “Broker’s Anthem,’’ compos ed for Wall street. It is applicable elsewhere, and is quite comprehensi ble enough to dispense with the entire production: Teach me a counterfeit to know, And bargains good to see, For quarters I to others show, Show fifty cents to me. A lady about to marry was warned that her intended, although a good man, was very eccentric. Well, she said, if he is vei’y unlike other men, he is more likely to be a good hus band. A story is told of a person asking another whether he would advise him to lend a certain friend money.— “ What lend him money ? You might give him an emetic, and he wouldn’t return it!” A baby bad the misfortune to swal low the contents of an ink bottle. Its mother, with wonderful presence of mind, immediately administered a box of steel pens and two sheets of foolscap paper, and the child has felt write inside ever since. “Do you think Jonah cried when he was in the fish’s belly?” was the question put to an oily seaman by a sleek querist. “ Don’t know,” replied Jack, “ but should think not, as there was plenty of blubber without his’n.” PAYMENT OF COST OF ADVER TISEMENTS IN ADVANCE. We beg leave to call the attention of our county and others in terested, to the following act passed by the last Legislature, entitled an act to require the payment of cost in certain cases: Section 1. Be it enacted by the; General Assembly, That from and af ter the passage of this act, no sheriff or deputy sheriff in this State shall be required to advertise the property of any defendant in fl. fa. for sale un til the cost of such advertisement shall have been first paid by the plaintiff in fi. fa., his agent or attor ney ; provided, that when any such party plaintiff, or his agent or attor ney for him, shall make and file an affidavit in writing, that owing to his poverty he is unable to pay such cost, then it shall be the duty of said sher iff or his deputy to proceed as now required by law. Section 2 repeals conflicting laws. Approved August 24, 1872. Sheriff sales must be paid for in ad vance or no insertion.—Stan, & Ex POETRY. FORTY YEARS AGO. How wondrous are ike changes, Jim, Since forty years ago, \\ hen gals wore woollen dresses, Jim, And boys wore pants of tow ; When shoes were made of calfskin And socks of homespun wool, And children did a half day’s work, Before the hour of school. The girls took music lessons, Jim, Upon the spinning wheel. And practiced late and early, Jim, On spindle, swift and reel; The boys would ride bare-backed to mill, A dozen miles or so, And hurry off before ’twas day, Some forty years ago. The people rode to meeting, Jim, In sleds instead of sleighs, And wagons rode as easy, Jim, As buggies now-a-days, And oxen answered well for teams, Though now they’d be too slow, For people lived not half so fast, Some forty years ago. O, well I do remember, Jim, The Wilson patent stove, That father bought and paid for, Jim, In cloth our gals had wove, And how the neighbors wondered When we got the thing to go, They said ’twould bust and kill us all, Some forty years ago. Yes, everything is different, Jim, From what it used to was ; For men are always tampering, Jim, With God’s great natural laws. But what on earth we’re coming to, Does anybody know ? For everything has changed so much, Since forty years ago. AN AIM. Give me a man with an aim, Whatever that aim may be. Whether it’s wealth or whether it’s fame, It matters not to me. Let him walk in the path of right. AnJ Keep his aim in sight, And work and pray in faith alway, With his eye on the glittering height. Give me a man who says,— “ I will do ‘something’ well, And make the fleeting days A story of labor tell.” Though the aim he has be small, It is better than none at all; With something to do the whole year through, lie will not stumble or fall. But Satan weaves a snare For the feet of those who stray, With never a thought or care Where the path may lead away, The man who has no aim Not only leaves no name. When this life is done, but ten to one, He leaves a record of shame. DIFFICULTY OF RHYMING. W e parted by the gate in J une, That soft and balmy month, Beneath the sweetly beaming moon, And —wunth, hunth, sunth, bunth— (l can’t find a rhyme to month.) Years were to pass ere we should meet; A wide and yawning gulf Divides me from my love so sweet, While—ulf, suif, dulf, mulf— (stuck agin ; I can’t get any rhyme to gulf. I’m in a gulf myself.) O, how I dreaded in my soul To part from my sweet nymph, While years should their long seasons Before—hymph, dymph, ymph— (l guess 111 have to let it ge at that.) Beaeath my fortune’s stern decree My lonely spirits sunk, And Ia weary soul should be, And—hunk, dunk, runk, sk— (that will never do in the world.) She buried her dear, lovely face Within her azure scarf, She knew Id take the wretchedaess, As well as—-pars, sarf, darf, harf-and harf; (that won’t answer, either.) Oh, I had loved her maay years, I love her for herself; I love her for her tender tears, And also for her—welf, nelf,helf, pelf! (no ! no! net for her pelf.) I took between my hands her head, How sweet her lips did poach ! I kissed her lovingly, and said— Bouehe, ntouche, louche, ouch ! (not a bit of it did I say ouch !) I sorrowfully wrung her hand, My tears tkey did escape, My sorrows they coaid not command, And I vm bnt a—sspe, dape, fape, ape. (well, perhaps I did feel like aa ape.) I gave to her a foad adieu, Sweet pupil of love’s school; I told her I would e’er be true, And always be a-dool, sool, mool, fool. (Since I come to think of it I was a fool, for she fell in love with another fellow be fore I was gone a month.) LITTLE CHARLIE. The following pretty little poem, says the San Francisco Post, is from the pen of a girl of thirteen: Oh, mamma, put the baby dewn And take me up instead, My face and throat arc awful hot, And something burns my head. Tlease let me come into your lap, And lay it on yeur breast, For I feel awful tired now, And yet I cannet rest - Don’t put me into bed alone, I will keep very still, So that the baby sweet can sleep, Oh, mamma, yes I will. Mamma, why don’t you love me now, Since baby has come here ? You never kiss me any more, Nor eall me Charlie dear. Do you suppose if I’se to die The same as Cousin Ben, When his little sister eame, That you would love me then ? Last night when I’se alone in bed, I laid and cried and cried, And then I went to sleep and dreamed That I had truly died. I thought you shut me in a box, And said that you was glad, For ever since the baby came I’d been so awful bad. Don’t, mamma, don’t, don’t put tne there, I’m afraid, the moon’s so white, Please, mamma, kiss me as yon used, And keep me here to-night. Tho tearful, plaintive voice is still; No sobs came from the bed. And when the mother looked again, She found her Charlie dead. WIT AND HUM.OR Paying your water rate—Buying milk. A wedding trip—A breach of prom ise. To make both ends meet—Bow very low. Bayonets are driven, but bullets are lead. The greatest nutmeg ever known met with a grater. There is one thing that can alwajs be found—that’s fault. When is a cat like a teapot ? When you’re teasin’ it (tea's iu it.) “Excuse haste and a bad pen," as the pig said when he broke out. The man who wrote “I’m saddest when I sing,” was a fool to sing much. Why is dancing like new milk?— Because it strengthens the calves. What is society, after all, but a mixture of mister-ies aud miss-eries? The children say it’s scold weather always when house-cleaning is going on. Why are blacksmiths always wick ed men ? Because they are giveu to vice. A lady entered a drug stora and asked for a bottle of “Jane’s Experi ence.’’ “Do you enjoy good health, Zacha ry ?’’ “Why, of course I do: who doesn’t ?” Why does a freight car need no lo comotive ? Because the freight makes the cargo. Kum-au-Semee is what a Troy to bacconist calls the big Indian iu front of his store. In the Green Mountain State they call an elopement suicide. He sueii aud she sighed. Why is a sewing machine like dutch bread ? Because they are both work ed by the feet. If you let the cat out of the bag, never try to cram it back again; it on ly makes matters worse. “Fan him with your boot,” is said by those familiar with the subject to be the latest thing iu slang. Terre Haute has s cat that is a reg ular visitor to all the circuses. She supposed to be after the aero bats. The girls at Saratoga object to be ing pressed to manly vests which weai hard lumps in the shape of gold watches. Bartholomew D. Stoughtenborough of Illinois, is accused of writing his name often, and “reveling in its sinu ous lengthiness.’’ A crusty old bachelor says that Adam’s wife was called Eve because, when she appeared, man’s day of hap piness was drawing to a close. Judge.—Well, you are fond of steal ing; if I should let you steal now, what would you steal ? Prisoner. —1 would steal away, your honor. Theodore Tilton, of the Golden Age exclaims: “Save me from a God wlio damns!” We should like to do it, my boy, but the thing is impossible. The Smiths had a diuner at Pitts burg on New Year's day. Tne first toast was “Pocohontas—l leaven bless her for saving the Smiths to this coun try.” An Illinois lady of Celtic descent lately blew down into the chimney of a kerosene lamp, and the lamp blew back again, and Bridget Monahan is no more. If small girls are waifs, are large ones wafers ? “Certainly,” says sweet sixteen, “at least the boys Lave tbe habit of applying them to their lip.-, in seMfbg their vows.” The word love in the Indian lan guage is “scheuilendamourtchwager.’ How nicely it would sound, whispered in a woman’s ear, “I schemlenda mourtchwager you!” Is there any danger of the boa-con strictor biting ?” asked a visitor of a zoological showman. Not in the least, replied the showman. -He nev er bites; be swallows his wittles whole. A sanctimonious person said to a wild youth, “God will send you to hell.” “Well,” replied the youth, ‘if God sends me to hell, he’ll fix it somehow so I can stand it.” Wasn’t that faith ? A Sunday school teacher who had almost become discouraged over the listlessness of her class, at last felt re warded by an interesting look from a little girl. The reward was lost when the little creature touched a bracelet on her arm aud asked: “Teacher, is them threaded on ’lastic ?” The following affecting query wt addressed to his sweetheart by a po etical lover: “ If you was a dog, and I was a hog. And I got into your master’s yard, And your master was to set you on me, Would you bite me very hard?” Extracts from the papers of rejected school ma’ams in Ohio: “The food is first masticated, and then passes through the phalanx.” “Respiration is the sweating of the body.” “The chest is formed of two bones, the sternum aud spinal cord.” “Emphasis is placing more distress on some words.” Pretty. —The Creek Indian trans lation of the Sunday school hymn, “Shall we gather at the River ? ’ Uerakkon techeceyvr hake Cesvs em estolke fullan Cesvs liket a fihnet os Hoyay vket fihnet os. Chorus—Momos mon techeccey vres Uerakko berusen esherusen Mokusapviken etohkv liket Fulleye munky torers. A printer out west, whose office is half a mile from any other buildiug, and who hangs his sign on the limb of a tree, advertises for an apprentice. He says: “A boy from the country preferred.” A modern girl living near Louisville has a city beau. When be ride, out to see her on a warm afternoon, she calls the “ old man ” from the field, and makes him keep the flies from her fellow’s horse. A young man hunting turkeys at Kalamazoo, Mich., thought he saw one iu the grass, but a coroner’s jury decided that it was the head of the farmer who owned the premises, and was taking a nap. A young man in Hartford read somewhere that more deaths occurred at five o’clock iu the morning than at any other hour, and now gets op regularly at four, in order to be out when Death makes his morning calls.
