This Sarsaparilla is a combination of
vegetable alteratives—Stillingia, Man

of Potassium and Iron, and is the most
efficacious medicine yet known for
the diseases it is intended to cure.
Its ingredients are so skilfully com
bined, that the full alterative effect of
each is assured, and while it is so mild
as to be harmless even to children, it is
still so effectual as to purge out from the
system those impurities and corruptions
which develop into loathsome disease.
The reputation it enjoys is derived
from its cures, and the confidence which
prominent physicians all over the coun
try repose in it. prove their experience
of its usefulness.
Certificates attesting its virtues have
accumulated, and are constantly being
received, and as many of these cases are
publicly known, they furnish convincing
evidence of the superiority of this Sar
saparilla over every other alterative
medicine. So generally is its superi
ority to any other medicine known, that
we need do no more than to assure the
public that the best qualities it has ever
possessed are strictly maintained.

Hydrophobia.
From the Missouri Republican.
The little State of Connecticut has,
or bad, two cases of hydrophobia, one
at Chicopee and one at Suffield. The
cases were men of widely different tem
peraments, and afforded medical sci
ence an opportunity to store up some
farts about the mysterious disease,
which may serve for a basis of com
parative study. S. L. MAy, a dentist
of Suffield, was bitten—only a scratch
—on December 28. He did not think
of danger, and said nothing to any
body about it He was attacked by
the dog-madness, and the doctors
flocked around him to watch the simp
toms and results of their treatment.
Way was always a nervous man, al
most a hypochondriac, subject to ner
vous fits and moods. Sometimes, when
filling teeth, he was forced to give up
the jub and go to bed, from nervous
ness. He was worried by lawsuits, and
troubled about the failure of a life in- |
surance company, in which he had a
policy, and, lastly, a spinal affection
someiimes prostrated him. He had
enough ailments and annoyances be
fore hydrophobia came to stt him crazy
and finish him. The case of such a
man suffering from such a disease was
peculiarly interesting. He was dosed
with morphine all the time almost to
deadness, but his spasms were very
violent, and Lis cries of agony could
be heard half a mile.
Asahel Buckland, of Chicopee, the
other case, was a man of woad*rful
nerve, and brought a strong constitu
tion and will to his self-control. Ha,
too, was surrounded by physicians, and
he desired them to make every last of
treatment they could suggest for the
benefit of science. Ha had n© fear of
death, and in the intervals of spasms
placed himself as entirely in the doc
tors 1 hands as if he had been a corpse
for dissection. He had a horror of
water or cold air, or a sudden noise
By an effort of will he succeeded in
swallowing a small quantity of water,
a feat that was never performed be
fore under the circumstances, and the
effect was watched. In the meantime,
all the leading physicians of Connecti
cut. gathered around the bedsides of
these two sufferers, and if they did not
secure something for science; and the
good of a dog-bitten race, it is not
their fault, but because of the impreg
nability of the foriress of the disease.
What became of these cases we do not
know, but the accounts of them left no
room for hope of the recovery of either
sufferer.
And now comes a statement of three
genuine cases of hydrophobia in one
family, cured by the same treatment.
It seems to have been a family secret
until the facts were lately set forth in
print. If true, it is worth the trouble
of physicians to investigate it. Mr.
William Yradenburg, principal of a
public school in Long Island, put the
newspaper man on tbe track of the
subjects and the trail ol the cure. The
cases were iu Yradenburg’s family.
On being questioned, he said:
The history of this is a kind of heir
loom in our family, and it will no
doubt be handed down for genera
tions to come, for the remedies that
were then used effected a com
plete and radical cure, as they have
done on two other occasions. I have
noticed through the newspapers an
increase of the number of deaths from
hydrophobia, and the utter inability of
physicians to control the disease. Iu
fact, so fatal is the disease thought to
be, that if a person is so unfortunate
as to be bitten by a rabid nog, he con
siders his case hopeless, and, in nine
cases out of ten, dies from sheer fright.
This should not bo so. The desease,
in my opinion, is as capable of success
full treatment as any other malady in
which active medicines must be used
to expel virulent poisons from the
system. 'The three cases that oc
curred in our family were successfully
treated. They were pronounced cases
of genuine hydrophobia, and the sub
jects are now all liviug, the oldest be
ing seventy years of age. For all the
particulars in these cases I must refer
you to my aunt, Mrs. Matinchy
Crooks, who lives at Washington and
Canal streets, New York.
Mrs. Crooks, aged seventy-four, was
found, and told the story of her sister
Maria’s bite and attack and cure. Ma
ria was a little girl. She was bitten
on the arm by their house dog. The
dog was mad, and was confined in a
barrel until he died of rabies The
girl’s arm did not heal for a year, bu:
the wound developed into a suppura
ting sore. At length the sore sudden
ly healed, and Maria became nervous,
feverish and quite ill. A doc c-r was
sent for, and he was a long time mak
ing out what was the matter. Wnih
the doctor was there the dogs in the
yard began to bark, and Maria star
tled all by imitating the bark of a dog.
The doctor then pronounced it hydro
phobia, but to makß sure he caused
water to be poured from one pitcher
into another in the girl’s hearing. She
was immediately thrown into spasms.
The sight of water had the same ef
fect. Her neck became swollen, mak
ing it difficult for her to breathe, and
she could not swallow at all. The doc
tor made a strong decoction of “skull
cap” with a little sherry wine in it.
This was injected into the girl’s stom
ach as she could not swallow 7 , and a
cloth saturated with ether was wrap
ped around her neck. In half an hour
the patient was quieted, and on the
third application, six hours afterward,
she was able to swallow the fluid. The
“skull-cap” was made weaker and the
wine stronger in the decoction. In six
days thß girl was out of bed, and in
ten days she was pronounced thor
oughly cared of hydrophobia. But
the old wound broke out afresh and
discharged This yielded to time and
proper care, and the girl was well. She
is now Mrs. Daniel Kelly, living in Au
rora, Erie county, New York, and is
the mother of sixteen children. Soon
afs.tr her marriage her husband was
bitten by a mad dog. When the symp
1 toms of disease made their appearau
he was cured as his wife had
| nephew of the old lady v
ten, and the remedy was successfully
used inTiis case. Mad dogs seem to
have a spite against that family, but
being in possession of tbe panacea for
hydrophobia, they were able to stand
ue “racket.” The account explains
that the botanical definitiou of “skull
cap” is “an herbaceous plant of the ge
nus scutdlaria, the calyx of whose flow
er, when inverted, appears like a helmet
with the vizor raised.” It is a narcot
ic, and causes perspiration and debili
tation. taken internally. If there is
anything at all in this it is worth know
ing, and the account seem to be well
authenticated.
Shall We Plant Teal
Whiskey may fairly be said to be our
national beverage. Col. Bungstarter,
of Virginia, high authority on ail mat
ters pertaining to whiskey, has recent
ly made public some very instructive
statistics in connection with this ihter
i eating subject. He estimates that in
Maryland,” Virginia, North Carolina,
South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama,
Tennessee, Kentucky, Arkansas, ana
Missouri, each adult male citizen ab
sorbs daily, on an average, sixteen
square drinks of whiskey year in and
y&ar out.
To the ganer-ms use of this exhilara
ting beverage he Colonel chiefly as
cribes the gre t material prosperity,
the high state [ l f civilization, and the
chivalric tone yhiuh obtains iu those
States. .'•!
Lager beer, late years so popular,
is condemn©! Colonel as want
ing iuukll the tuore delicate and subtle
elements whichlsave made whiskey so
valuable an adjunct iu the cause of
American civilizni'' m. He boldly pro
claims that if’these-JJnited States are
the, greatest j&atiqr on the face of. the
earth, and can wit', perfect ease whip
all creation, it is psimply because we
are the largest whiskey producing and
whiskey consuming people in the
world.
Gen. LeDuc, Commissioner of the
Agricultural Department at Washing
ton, takes entirely opposite grouud; he
believes that tea, and tea alone, has
built up the country.
In a pamphlet trending of the cul
ture of the tea plant in America, the
General shows by .teeasury statistics
that the value of life annual importa
tions of tea into thief conn try from Chi
na and Japan amounts', to $20,000,000
iu coin. .’ .
The Commissioner proposes to avoid
the p ay mo nib 4f t h; tx> tfol
eign countries by raising tea at home.
He pomts out that all those States,
the adult mate population of which, ac
cording to Colonel B sta
tisticß, nourish themselves chiefly on
whiskey, are admirably adapted to the
•ulture of tea, being in corresponding
latitude with those regions in Cuina,
Asßarn, and Japan, in which tea is suc
cessfully cultivated. Commissioner
LeDuc thinks tea can be made a great
American staple; that we can not only
supply the home consumption, but in
the course of time compete with China
and Japan in supplying the market of
the world.
A Japanese colony in California are
now planting tea, with what success we
are unable to say.
Colonel Bungstarter views with
alarm the proposed planting of tea
throughout the Southern States. In
Roanoke county public sentiment is
strongly against the plan. In a speech
recently made at Roanoke Court House
—during which the Colonel emptied
the contents of two bottles of Baum
gartner's best whiskey—he unhesita
tingly declared tUat the general culti
vation of tea in the Old Dominion
would ultimately result ia the disuse of
whiskey, the consequent deterioration
of the first families of Virginia, aud
the gradual assimilation of the whole
population to the debased condition of
the Heathen Chinee.
Ami i the most enthusiastic cheers
and cries of “Down with tea, whiskey
iorever,” the Colonel descended from
the rostrum, steppliu out the back
door of th© Court House, and walked
over to Ryan’s grocery, where he treat
ed the crowd.
The question of raising tea in this
country is just at present the all ab
sorbing topic at Washington. The sil
ver agitation, the repeal of the Re
sumption bill, the Russo-Turkish arm
istice, and the Mexican question, ars
all for the moment forgotten.
It is understood that Mr. Codge, the
statistician of the Agricultural Depart
ment, has espoused the cause of Col
Bungsiarter. At all events, he openly
declares in opposition to Commissioner
LeDuc, that tea fcaunot be grown in
this country, protests against embark
ing in the experimental cultivation of
tea, and insists that no portion of the
appropriation annually made to the
department be devoted to developing
the theories of the Commissioner anent
the proposed new American staple.
Commissioner LeDuc very naturally
looks upon Mr. Dodge as the chief ob
struction to his admirable plan, by
which every free born American will
be enabled to raise and drink his own
tea. He has courteously- asked Mr.
Dodge to resign, and Mr. Dodge has
as courteously refused. It is a mightv
pretty fight as it stands. It seems to
us that Col. Buugstarter is right about
whiskey, and yet Commissioner Le-
Duc does not seem far wrong about
tea.—N. Y. Sun.

MR. PETER COOPER’S LATEST PRO
JECT.
Founding an Institution in Sonth Caroli
na for Educating Yonng Women.
Mr. Peter Cooper has undrr consid
eration a plan for opening a free insti
tute for girls in South Carolina, to be
very much on the same plan as the
Cooper Institute in this city. Noth
ing definite has been decided on be
yond the selection of what will proba
bly be the site of the new institution.
Mr. Cooper was lately induced to look
at a proposition for the purchase of
the property known as the “Limestone
Springs,” about four miles from Spar
tanburg. The property consists of 800
acres of land on the sunny side of a
slope 12,000 feet above tide level. Up
on it are eleven buildings and a brick
church, which accommodates 500 per
sons. The main building was in ante
war times a fashionable hotel and af
terward a successful girls’ school. It
is of brick, 240 feet in length and four
stories high.
Mr. Cooper thinks the situation ad
mirable for a first-class educational in
stitute. He said:
“I wish to do something for the
South, and show that a Northern man
has some interest iu the welfare of the
Southern people. I hope it may do
something toward ending old feuds
and cementing the Union. I think
there is a very good field for an insti
tution there that may be a means of
doing good to the country. It will be
done if I can see any way of putting it
upon a substantial footing. It would
be a school of s< ience and art in its ap
plication to all the useful and necessa
ry purposes of life, and for ladies on
ly-”
The undertaking can be acoompliah

How to get Married.
Young ladies between sixteen and
twenty-five cannot be expected to un-
derstaud this called
“Hie worlda competent knowledge
of which is often not attained until
we are too old to make use of it.
The following hints, therefore, may
not be unacceptable or without their
use.
All fish are not to be caught with
the same bait nor with the same
hooks—neither are all men to be
caught by the same means and meas
ures. Some young gentlemen are of
the gudgeon species; they are captur
ed without much trouble— others of
the mullet family; they are not to be
taken without a great deal of maneu
vering.
Neither of these sorts make the best
husbands; for if a man has not sense
enough to discover artifice, or to des
pise it when it is discovered, he is
scarcely worth the trouble which must
be employed in captivating him. Plain
dealing is the best policy in matters of
love and courtship, as well as in ev
erything else.
Elegant accomplishments, music,
painting, dancing, etc., are often con
sidered as the strongest attractions to
young men who are in search of a
partner for life, aud yet, perhaps, a
good husband is seldom obtained by
dancing, drawing or singing. These
things tire well enough if substantial,
like the dessert after the dinner — by
themselves they are all dessert and no
dinner.
Young ladies should be recommend
ed not to lay too much stress on these
accomplishments —few of them can
hope to become eminent in such ele
gant arts —and gentlemen who attend
operas, theatrical dances, and exhibi
tions of paintings, are not likely to be
overwhelmed by a mere amateur dis
play of sk’.li in the parler, boudoir, or
ball-room.
Do you wish your husband to be a
man of sense or a coxcomb ? If the
first, hold every species of affec
tion in dread and abhorance. Be, is
possible, what you would wish to ap
pear but never attempt to seem what,
you are not. The affection of wealth
by dressing beyond one’s means is a
very common folly, and oue replete
with mischief.
If a female can reconcile it to her
conscience to deceive a man in res
pect to her worldly circumstances, she
will seldom find it practicable to mis
lead him on that ground into an offer
of wedlock.
Suitors, with whom fortune is a pri
mary object, are generally scrutinizing
and circumspect iu such matters. If
you wish to get married and to mar
ry well, keep not too much company,
nor be too often away from home, at
parties and other places of amuse
ment; study to be amiable, not mere
ly to seem so; give some attention to
domestic economy, avoid extravagance
in ail things, cultivate your mind
shun all levity of manners, preserving
at the same time a propper degree of
cheerfullness.
If these rules will not avail, suppose
the facts to be against you, and resign
yourself patiently, remembering al
ways that it is better to be a happy
old maid than a miserable wife. Nev
er expect felicity from any marriage
which is brought about by improper
means, or by any kind of deception or
artifice.

rtmestion; for it is
A Hood Story Told About Alexander
Stephens and Bob Toombs.
A Doctor Royston had sued Peter
Bennett for his bill, long over due, for
attending the wife of the latter. Alex
ander H. Stephens was on the Bennett
side, and Bob Toombs, then Senator
of the United States, was for Dr. Roy
ston. The doctor proved the number
of his visits, their value according to
local custom, and his authority to do
medical practice. Mr. Stephens told
his client that the physician had made
out his case, and as there was nothing
wherewith to rebut or offset the claim,
the only thing left to do was to pay it.
“No,” said Peter; “I hired you to
speak in my case, and now speak.”
Mr. Stephens told him there was
nothing to say; he had looked on to
see that it was made out, and it was.
Peter was obstinate, and at last Mr.
Steph-nstold him to make a speech
himself, '■{ he thought one could be
made.
“I will.” said Peter Bennett, “if
Bobby Toombs won’t be too hard on
me.”
Senator Toombs promised, and Pe
ter began:
“Gentlemen of the Jury—You and I
is plain farmers, and if we don’t stick
together these ’ere lawyers and doc
tors will git the advantage of us. I
ain’t no lawyer or doctor, and I ain’t
no objection to them in their proper
places; but they ain't farmers, gentle
men of the jury.
“Now this man Royston was anew
doctor, and I went for him to come
and doctor my wife’s leg. And he
come and put some saGe truck onto
it and some rags, but never done it
one bit of good, gentlemen of the ju
ry. I don’t believe he is no doctor, no
way. There is doctors as is doctors
sure enough, but this man don’t earn
his money; and if you send for him, as
Mrs Sarah Atkinson did, for a negro
boy as was worth $2,000, he just kills
him and wants pay for it”
“I don’t 1” thundered the doctor.
“Did you cure him ?” asked Peter
with the slow accents of a judge with
the black cap on.
The dootor was silent, and Peter
proceeded:
“As I was saying, gentlemen of the
jury, we farmers when we sell our cot
ton has got to give vally for the money
we ask, and doctors ain’t none too
good to be put to the same rule. AneL
T CfttUTKoVlMh 7s ho
doctol, nohow.
The physician again put in his oar
with, “Look at my diploma if you
think I am no doctor.”
“His diploma!” exclaimed the new
fledged orator, with great contempt.
“His diploma! Gentlemen, this is a
big word for printed sheepskin, and it
didn’t make no doctor of the sheep as
first wore it, nor does it of the man as
now carries it. A good newspaper has
more in it, and I p’int out to ye that
he ain’t no dootor at all.”
The man of medicine was now in a
fury, and screamed out, “Ask my pa
tients if I am not a doctor.”
“I asked my wife,” retorted Peter,
“an’ she said as how she thought you
wasn’t.’’
“Ask my other patients,’’ said Doc
tor Royston.
This seemed to be the straw that
broke the camel’s back, for Peter re
plied with look and tone of unutterable
sadness:
“That is a hard sayn’ gentlemen of
the jury, and one that requires me to
die or to have powers as I’ve hearn tell
ceased to be exercised siuoe the apos
tles. Does he expect me to bring the
angel Gabriel down to toot his horn
before his time and cry aloud ‘Awake,
ye dead, and tell this court and jury
your opinion of Royston’s practice V’
Am I to go to the lonely churchyard
and rap on the silent tomb and eay to
um as is at last at rest from physic and
doctor bills, ‘Get up here, you, and
stats if you died a natural death, or
was hurried away by some doctors?’
He says ask his patients, and gentle
men of the jury, they are all dead I
Where is Mr. Beazel’s man Sam ? Go
ask the the worms in the graveyard
where he lies. Mr. Peake’s woman
Sarah was attended by him, and her
funeral was app’inted by him, and he
had the corpse ready. Where is that
baby gal of Harry Stephens’? She
are where doctors cease from troublin’
and the infants are at rest.
Gentlemen of the jury, he has et
chicken enough at my house to p y for
his salve, and I furnished the rags, and
I don’t suppose he charges for makin’
of her worse, and even he don’t pre
tend to charge for currin’ of her and I
am humbly thankful that he never
gave her nothin’ for her inwards, as he
did his other patients, for somthin
made nm all die mighty sudden ”
Here the applause made the speak
er sit down in great confusion, and in
spite of a logical statement of the case
by Senator Toombs, the doctor lost
and Peter Bennett won.—New York

There is perhaps no fruit so much
neglected, and yet so valuable and sus
ceptible of improvement, as the per
simmon. Leaving out its excessive
astringency, it is not only pleasant to
the taste, but contains snch a very
large per centage of saccharine matter
as to render it not only highly nutri
tious, but eagerly sought cattle,
and even dogs.
That by carefnl culture the persim
mon can be improved, is shown in the
Japan persimmon. The writer has
been shown some specimens of this
luscious, delightful fruit that sur
passes the fig of commerce in its rich
and nutritious taste, and is entirely
free from the astringent properties that
onr neglected fruit possesses. The
subject is well worthy of attention,
and deserves the especial notice of all
interested in our native fruits. Con
sidering what the pear and peach was
once, and what they are now, why
may we not bring up the persimmon

SONG OF THE CHATTAHOOCHEE.
Oat of the hills of Habersham,
Out of the valleys of Hall,
The hurrying raiu, to reach the plain.
Has run the rapid aud leaped the fall,
Split at the rock and together again,
Accpted his bed, or narrow or wide,
And fled from folly on every side,
With lover’s pain to attain the plain,
Par from the bibs of Habersham—-
Far from the valleys of Hall.
All down the hills of Habersham,
All through the valleys of Hall,
Th* rushes cried, “Abide, abide!”
The wiifal water weeds held me thrall,
Th* laure , slow-laving, turned my tide,
Th* ferns and the fondling grvss said
“Stay !”
The dewberry dipped to win delay,
And the little reeds sighed, “Abide, abide,
Hera in the hills of Habersham,
Here in the valleys of Hall.”
High over the hills of Habersham,
Veiling the valleys of Hall,
The hickory told me manifold
Fair tales of shade; the poplar tall
Wrought me her shadowy self to hold;
The chestnut, the oak, the walnut, the pine,
Overleaning, with flickering meaning aud
ign.
Said, ‘‘Pass not so cold these manifold
Deep shades of the hills of Habersham,
The** glades in the valleys of Hall.”
And oft on the hills of Habersham,
And oft in the valleys ot Hall,
Th* white quartz shone, aud the smooth
brook stone
Barred me of passage with friendly brawl;
And many a metal lay sad, alone,
And the diamond, the garnet, the amethyst,
And the crystal that prisoi s a purple mist,
Shewed lights like my own from each cordial
stone
In the clefts of the hills of Habersham,
In the beds of the valleys of Hall.
Bat oh, not the hills of Habersham,
Aad oh, not the valleys of Hall,
Shall hinder the rain from attaining the plain,
Far downward the voices of duty call—
Downward to toil and be mixed with the main.
Th* dry fields burn and the milis are to turn,
And a thousand meadows mortally yearn,
And the final main from beyond the plaiu
Galls o’er the hills of Habersham,
A*d calls through the valleys of Hall.

Influence of a Literary Taste.
To a yonng man away from
home, friendless and forlorn in a great
city, the hours of peril are those be
tween sunset and bedtime, for the
moon and stars see more evil in a sin
gle hour than the sun in its whole
day’s circuit. The poet’s visions of
evening are all composed of tender
and soothing images. It brings the
wanderer to his home, the child to his
mother’s arms, and the weary laborer
t.O his rest. _Bnt hearted
tlfiT?)ivh upoii Yhe rock of
a pitiless city, and stands homeless
amid a thousand homes, the approach
ing evening brings with it an aching
sense of loneliness and desolation,
which comes down upon the spirit like
darkness upon earth. In this mood
his best impulse becomes a snare to
him, and he is led away because he is
affectionate, social, sympathetic and
warm-hearted.
If there be a young man thus cir
cumstanced within the sounds of my
voice, let me say to him that books are
a friend to the friendless, and that a li
brary is a home to the homeless. A
taste for reading will carry you to con
verse with men who will instruct you
by their wisdom, and charm you by
their wit, who will soothe you when
weary, counsel you when perplexed,
and sympathize with yon at all times.
Evil spirits in the middle ages were

HjW to Cure Diphtheria.
A correspondent sends the follow
ing, which we print for what it is
worth: Not long since, whon di jh
theria was raging in England, a gen
tleman accompanied the celebrated
Dr. Field on his rounds, to witness
the so-called “wonderful cures” he
performed, while the patients of oth
ers were dropping on every side. All
he took with him was sulphur and a
quill. He put a teaspooufali into a
wine glass of water, and stirred it
with his finger instead of a spoon, as
the sulphur does not eastly amalga
mate with water; when the sulphur
was well mixed, he gave it as a gargle,
and in ten minutes the patient was
out of danger. Sulphur kills every
species of fungus in man, animal or
plant. Instead of spitting out the
gargle he recommended the swallow
ing of it. In extrema cases, when the
fungus was nearly closed, he blew the
sulphur through a quill into the
throat, and after the fungus had
shrunk, then the gargle. Also in ex
treme cases, put live coals into a shov
el, sprinkle sulphur on it and let the
patient inhale it, closing the doors
and windows.
The University of Georgia.
The University has been opened
this session with increased attendance
and with brighter prospects. The
wise action of the Constitutional Con
vention in incorporating the principle
of aid to this institution of learning a=
a part of the organic law of the State,
has given great encouragement to its
friends. The students are orderly and
diligent, and remarkably free from in
temperance or any kindred vice. No
institution in America can boast of a
professoiial corps more eminent in
their respective branches of instruc
tion than the University of Georgia.
We are also glad to notice that
there is at present no disposition to
make war upon the University, either
by newspapers or by newspaper writ
ers. If our brethren of the Press had
taken time to examine the truth of
charges made agaiusi tne University
before dignifying them by publication,
the University and Athens would have
been spared serious injury
