This Sarsaparilla is a combination of vegetable alteratives—Stillingia, Man drake, Yellow Dock —with the lodides 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.

I will j?u aranfcee a core in every variety an form of Dropsy, after examining patients. A. T Staffeb, M. D.. Gainesville. GAINESVILLE, GA., FRIDAY MORNING. FEBRUARY 15, 1878. 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. Congress was petitioned on the sth to remonetize silver; not to remonetize silver; to put woman suffrage into the Constitution; toffet the tariff alone; to amend the pension laws; not to tax tea and coffee; to subsidize the South American mail service; to give a libe ral subsidy to the Pacific Mail Steac?. ship Company; to square war accov with the States? to turn the It Bureau over to the war Departr to create a Department of Agricr""" to make it unlawful to empl,; E i n afred { siaZ* Eosrd America**, por keg 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 ed at a greatly decreased expense, much lese than would be necessary to build it from the start. Mr. Cooper does not intend to expend on it any such sum ($2,000,000) as he has given to Cooper Institute. The expenditure will be limited to paying for and fit ting up the property. It must after ward run itself. The use of the build ing, its appliances, tuition, and every thing except board will be free to any lady over fourteen years old from any part of the world.—N. Y. Sun. 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. ’-sanity is the real 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 World. Editors Southern Enterprise: 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.

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. —Sidney Lanier. 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 exercised and driven away by the bell, book and candle, and you waut but two of these agents, the book and can dle. 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 The fame of an education is very much like a wo in this respect—how malicious th Ar oi ifc . l ul ? to be done.- SO. 7.
