JosEpH ROBERTS, President Baltimore Pharmaceutical College, says: “lindorse it as a fine medicine, reliable as a strengthening tonic, free from alceholic poisons.” Dr. J. Faris Moore, PH, D., Profcssor of Pharmacy, Balti more Pharmaceutical College, says: “ Brown’s Iron Bitters is a safe and reliable medicine, positively free from alcoholic poisons, and can be recommended as a tonic for use among those who oppese alcohol.” Dr. EDwARD EARICKSON, Secretary Baltimore College of Phar macy, says* e “T indorse it as an excellent medicine, a good digestive agent, and a non-intoxicant in the fullest sense.”” Dr. RICHARD SAPINGTON, one of Daltimore’s oldest and .ozt reliable physicians, says: ¢ All who have used it praise its standard virtues, and the well known character of the house which makes it is a sufiicicnt guarantese of its being all that is claimed, for they are men who could not be in duced to offer anything else buta seliable medicine for public use.” A Druggist Cured, Boonsbero, Md., Oct. 12, 1%, Gentlemen: Brown's lion Dite ters cured me of a bad atiuck of Indigestion and fuliness in the stom. ach, Havingtestedit, 1 take pleas ure in recommending it to my cus tomers, and am giad to say it gives entire satisfaction to all.”’ Geo.

The President has appointed Judge W. T. Gresham, of Indiana, to be Postmaster General, vice T. A. Howe, deceased. Gresham is a stalwart Republican. A grave robber arrested in lowa a few days ago had business cards reading : ‘J. 8.

The boy died, and his murderer has been sentenced to twelve years imprison~ ment. There are five thousand dead laws on the statute books of Georgia, but the only way for a stranger to find out the live ones is to swing his hat on some street corner and yell out that he is from Wild Cat, Cherokee county, and that he is a regular Kennesaw mountain hyena. ‘Without joking, will you tell us what kind of a thing a ‘dude’ is {’ asks a lady correspondent. Cer tainly. A *‘dade” is no thing. It is merely an apology for a haman beiog, and is too weak to be bad and too tame - to be wild.—|New York Advertiser. Mrs. W. K. Vaodérbilt, at her wasked ball, in New York, repre sented a Venetian princess, in & dress that cost $lO,OOO, and was decorated with scenes of Venice, etc. That is, it represented 10,000 gone dollars ; a rather neal idea, too. —— Little Jobnay, who was writiog a composition about hens, said he knew where hens come from, but dido’t know where they got eggs. People say that hens lay eggs, but I know better. My father keeps lote of hevs, and when we wants any eggs he always sends me to the store for them, HERE is & letter that was picked up yesterday on a back street by our reporter :~ “Dear Bill—Doant Kum to see me enny more for a‘ while ennyway.

Then be mounted his borse, and rode off through the brush at a gallop for sixteen miles. He resched home by a circuitous route, meetiog nobody on the way, and went to bed in the belief that he was safe from detec tion. He had scurcely fallen asleep before a party of horsemen arrived to bang bim. They bad discovered the footprints of his horse at the sceve of the murder, and followed the trail without difficulty to its end. DON'T SPECULATE. In spite of repeated warnings; in spito of wrecked lifes aud ruived reputations; in spite of honor and love and fair vame generally ; in spite of all those eloquent, though voiceless emotions,hopes, aspirations aod endearments that go to make life really worth the liviog, thou sands are to day riding the car of speculation to the devil! They vever stop to think until disgrace and prison, exilo or poverty stare them in the face, and they pass be-~ yound the pale of the pablic mercy— outeast alike from God and honora ble mankind. : Oa this subject the Philadelphia Times throws oat a few homely words which contaius a world of truth and suggests the road to safety to all who ride the madwcar of spec» ulation. Says the Times : We have lately had a flood of em bezzlements and other forms of theft, and it has beeu the same story io every case. Trusted cashiers and ‘others charged with the money of their neighbors, speculated and lost it. ~ Innineteen cases out of twenty vo crime was intended. Had the thought of theft occarred to the par ties who proved to be criminals, they would have shuddered and re coiled from themselves; but they lost their own money ; they borrow ed without leave to make new ven tares, and ended as embezzlers and thieves. Most of the scores of men who have lately startled the country by their embezzling, were citizeos of unblemished reputations, command ing the unbounded confidence of their respective communities ; but the inordinate ambition to get rich; to live in style ; to give their chil dren the hollow respéctability of fors tune, and to gain the mocking hom age of fools and hypocrites, made them veoture step by step until de tected crime and ineffaceable shame logically followed. Don’t specalate. Not cne in a thousand of those who attempted to win fortune by speculative gambling has profitted by it ; and many who have not been broken ia fortune have wasted what is of greater value than gold —honest industry. The only wealth that lasts and that is full of comfort, is that gained by in dustry, aod every departure from le gitimate pursuits to gain riches is crowded with peril at every step. Don’t specalate. THE SERVANT GIRL PROBLEM IN THE SOUTH. Augusta (Ga.) Chronicle. Said & noted housewife and house keeper: ¢Oh, dear, what shall we do about servants? DBad servants are the bane of keeping house. The colored servants grow steadily worse. She is uncleanly, wasteful, pilfering, careless and storystelling. She robs me unsparingly to feed ber children or hersisters or her friends or to give away. If I give her the keys she helps herselt. If I give ber out the tood she is too sbarp for me. She makes her dough too soft and comes for the keys to get more flour to thicken it. Her tricks are endless. Talk about sharpness. One stupid cook will outwit a dozen ladies. My bairpios and pins all go every morn ing. My best napkins are used to dust and wipe dishes with. My tinest dishes are broken or disappear mysteriously. They broke them« selves or walked off upon their own feet, The old~time, weli-tried ser vant of slavery days are disappear ing and sooo will be entirely gone. The present generation of servants is almost worthless and getting worse. Think of changing servant monthly or oftener! There is no system of recomrmendation for pro tection. Why, the best cook I bave bad io years I had to tarn off be cause I found out she had been in the chaio gang for theft.” And the perplexed and gentle lady wrung ber hands in deepair over the colos~ sal aod unsolved and unsolvable problem. SucH Is Lilre.—*“Are you much hurt, dear mother {’ said Miss Hunt to an old lady who had bees raon down and badly injured oo State street Saturday. The old lady was for the moment unconscious, and did not answer, and the deeply distressed and tearful Miss Huot took up the old lady’s haud-bag and disappeared. When the sufferer came too, she in quired for her bag, and being told that ber daughter had taken it made known the fact that she had no daughter and that the bag contained $3OO in cash and jewelry. For a poor, hard working girl, laboring for ber bread in a laundry, Miss Hant, who was discovered by the police to be this sort of an industrious female, played the part of an wccomplished thief tolerably well, This is life in a grest city.— [ Chicago News. e— A —— While the gypsies were at Con yers, the other day, one of the wo men bought some lace from a mer chant for 15 cents per yard, aod then went direct to the merchants house aud sold it %o his wife for $1.25 per yard, TAMING OF THE SHREW, How a New Hampshire Petruchio Disciplined His Wife. Boston Herald. ] Opposite a Herald man, at a table in a Corohill restaurant, at dinner recently sat a man from Cambridge, who was a native of New Hampshire, Meeting an old acquaintance, the conversation soon turned on family topics and the pair began to talk about their former neighbors in a familiar way. ‘Yes, remarked the‘ Cambridge gentleman, ‘Sam was, in many respects, different from the rest of the boys. You remember 'who he married ! Well, when the ‘old wan, his father, found that he was shinin’ round with her, he call 'ed him one day in the barn and said: ‘Sam, d’ye intend to marry Beckie ¥’ ‘Sam pever said a word, so the old man said : ‘Me boy,ye know all about them, [ can’t tell ye nothing. Ye know how the sisters has turned out and not one of them is now living with their husbands.” Sam was as mum as a pantomime, and just as soon as he wasready, him and Beck+ ie got tied. They lived on a farm, and every thing went on smooth for übont a year, and it came to hog butchering time., Sam got all ready to have the uenal party for the occasion, and just as he was sharpening up the koives Beckie came out and said : ‘Sam, I'm going bome.” Sam pro tested in his quiet way, bat it was no use, so he said he'd get a man to row her across the pond. It was about half a mile over. She said: ‘Noye won’t; ye'll row me over yerself.” Sam told her he couldn’t aod Beckie fired up and said ‘Then I'll drown myself” Sam eaid he’d go with her if she wanted to do that. | So the boat was got ready, she got in, and they rowed out till the water was twenty feet deep. Then Sam stopped -nd said: ‘Well, Beckie, this is a good place to drown your self.” She dido’t open her moath. He weited awhile and then said : ‘Come, Beckie, I'm in a harry to get back. She never loocked up. Sam put down the oars, caught hold of her aod pitched her in. She grab bed for the boat, but he would not let her get near it. When she was almost done out she said: ‘Sam, let me in that boat and ye'll oot hear anything from me out o’ the way.’ So he pulled her in and they went back home. She changed her clothes and entertained her guests. They are now nearly eighty and you neve er saw a happier old couple-—did you? Ydon’t think they ever spoke of that dacking since the day she was goiog to drown berself. A DINNER POT JOKE. In a certain village in a county not far off a swall boy kicked up a breeze in the nearest church on Sun day. It seems thata certain good but jpoor woman bought a small calf’s head and put it on to boil, leaving her little boy to mind it while she went to the church close by. The winister had reached his “fifthly, my brethren,” when a small boy stuck bis head in the door and whispered : “Mama!” The good woman recognized her gson instantly and began to make sigos for bim to leave the door. “Mama !” again came the whisper —this time a little louder than bes fore. The mother shook ber finger at the boy warningly and indulged in other familiar pantomime with which she was accustomed to awe her son. Bat it dido’t work worth a cent. The boy was excited and in dead earnest, as the denouement will show. Raising his voice he shout~ ed: “Mama, you needn’t wink and blink at me, but had better come home right way, for the calf's head is buttio’ all the damplins out of the pot !” Rossep.—Dr, F. N. Pitts, of Covington, Ga., who reached Bir wingham, Ala., Tuesday night of last week, going there for the pur pose of going into busivess, has been the victim of a mysterious robbery. Ho left home a few days ago with a trank cootainiog $4,000 in gold, $3OO in silver, three gold watches and six gold chains, all the property he owned. Everything went right until he arrived at Birmingham, and went to the Nixon house to his room. Not until then did he discover that the lock of the trunk bad been pried open aund all the contents of val ue taken from it, el A e It is proposed,in England, to build steam fire engines with separate and disconnected boilers. It is said that two horses caonot haul more machinery upon four weels than is massed in the present steam fire en~ ginee, and this puts a limit to the in~ crease of power. But by the change suggested the power can be trebled with only double the pumber of horses. This is worth thinking of in New York, where so many enor monsly high buildings are construct ed. ¢ X y -~ The FMarietta Jonrnal, OFFICIAL JOURNAL OF THE OITY AND o QOURTY.

Country Gentleman. The following remedy has been successfully used in Pensylvania : Hydrophobia can be prevented and I will give what is well known to be an infallible remedy, if properly administered, for man or beast. A dose for a horse or cow should be about four times as great as for a person. It is wot too late to give the medicine at any time before the spasm comes on. The first dose is 14 ounces of alecampane root, bronised, put iu a pint of new milk, reduced to one half by boiling, thea tako all at one dose in the morning, fasting until afternoon, or at least a very light diet after severel hours bave elapsed. The second dose same as first, except take two ounces of the root ; third dose the same as sacond —the doses to be taken every other morning. Three doses are all that are needed and there need be ro fear. This I know from my owa experience, and know of a number of other cases where it has been suc cessful. This is no guess work. Those persons I allude to were bittea by their own dogs, that had been ‘bitten by rabid dogs, and were penned up to seo if they would go mad, They did go mad and did bite the persons. This remedy hes been used in and about Philadelpbia for forty years and longer, with great success, and known as the Goodman remedy. COULDN'T DO IT. There was a suit before one of the ‘\‘Houcrs’ in Justice alley the other ‘day in which it became necessary for the defense to have the testi mony of a woman. She bad secn the first blow struck and witnessed the beginnieg and end of a fight. When she was asked to take tho stand she huog back and said: ‘Judge, I can’t do it—can’t possi bly do it.’ ‘Why can’t you ? ‘Well, one is a neighbor on one side of me, and the other is & neigh bor on the other side. ‘But they can’t blame you for tell ing the truth. ‘Well, I dunno. You see, [ am always borrowing a wash tab of the one and sugar end batter of the other. ‘Which do you boriow the wash tub of ¥ ‘The one I've got to swear against.

Elder Joho H. Morgan, the High Priest of the: Mormon evangelists in the South, says that eighty-five el~ ders are employed in the work under his charge.
