We all desire to prosper individu

According to the Chattanooga
Times, the disturbing element in the
working classes is wholly foreign,
principally Italians, Hungarians and
Poles. The Times states that “not
one of the strikers arrested at Cleve
land for griminal assault or arson was
an American, not one, nor has there
been any serious trouble with Amer
ican workmen for several years.”
Cholera is said to have been car

except the islands of the south Pa

a wide expanse of ocean, and having
no commercial intercourse with that

A young Seotchman, whose father
has made large investments in farm
inglands in this country, has just
hired himself out to an Illincis farm
er, at the rate of 15 a month, for the
purpose of learning the America
methods of farming. He expects to
devote two years to this object, and
then take charge of one of his father’s
farms, consisting of 100,000 acres, in
southwest Missouri.
The Indianapolis Journal attributes
most of the infant mortality to over
feeding and injudicious diet. True
enough. Bad milk, with lactic acid in
it, and too frequent nursing by the
bottle will sicken or kill any infant
while teething. At least half of the
children, who die between the ages
of one and two years, are the inno
cent victims of ignorance.

What does your beau do for a liv

addressing his daughter. “le’s an

blush. “Gets about s7a week, I sup

Well, Ithink I can get him something
better than that.” ¢Oh pa!” she ex
claimed, with a glad sparkle in her
eyes, for she fancied her father}
was about to admit her beau to an.

“Yes,” continued the father, “as he

in a large store. lam willing to re
commend him for such a position, be

" [For the Marietta Journal.
} WE ARE GLAD TO SEE
| Indications in every department of
}our noble government pointing to
‘ wards a purer and healthier state of
‘things than we have been wont to
Iwitness in the past. We are glad to
see that it requires more than a mere
‘recommendation from a tew so-called
leaders of any town or community to
secure a friend or favorite a position
in any department of our govern—l
ment. We are glad to se2 that wordy
documents are no longer the instru
ments through which positions of
honor and trust, as well as profit are
to be secured ; and above all we are
glad to see that integrity of character
and honest principles alone can prove
successful with the appointing power.
There is hope for the Republic. B.
HAVYE A PURPOSE.
When we remember the moving
mass of humanity upon the earth and
take into consideration the limited
number who attain to success even
in secular pursuits there very natur
ally springs up an inquiry for the
cause. If we go among civilized peo
ple anywhere, we will find numbers
of them, who seem always on the
go ; who seem to be constantly busy,
and apparently engaged all the time
at something, and yet who seem nev
er to accomplish any valuable re
sults.
And we see others who seem nev
er to drift into the bustling tide of
human beings, but move steadily on
ward in the even tenor of way, and
yet accomplish much and with ap
parent ease ascend to successful
heights. Why is this? With our
timited experience and observation
of ike world, and of our fellowmen
we can assign no better reason, than
the fact that the many who fail of
success, have no fixed aim, no defi
nite purpose in view. On this spe
cial point they appear to heed only
that part of the inspired writer’s in
junction wherein he says “be care
ful for nothing.” Now each individual
who enters upon the labors of this‘
life with no programme mapped out,
with no definite aim, with no partic
ular purpose fixed in mind to accom
plish, is like a mariner in mid ocean
with a rudderless and compassless
ivessel driving against furious storms
with raging billows on every hand.
Such persons drift simply with
wind and tide, having no definite
port they desire to enter and no
light house of hope to guide them.
~ Then, reader, if you weuld make
the voyage of life successful, deter
mine with a fixedness of purpose,
what business you will pursue, and
prosecute it industriously.
CALLME PET NAMES.
From the Lumpkin Independent.
A good joke is toldon anewly-mar
ried couple who do not live more than
a thousand miles from Lumpkin.
The wife’s pet name for her husband
is “honey,” while he calls her “su
gar.” A few evenings ago the hus
band came home, and, passing through
the house, went out into the lot to
try his hand at milking. Soon the
wife missed him, and going into the
yard hallooed :”
“Honey, what in the world are you
doing ?
“I’'m milking, Sugar!”
“Oh! ’'mso glad. We’ve got plen
ty of milk, and I want some sugar to
make blackberry jam with to-mor
row.”
Mr. Geo. H. Waring, of Kingston,
(Ga., heard a noise in his room the
other night. Springing out of his
bed upon the floor he encountered a
man with whom a desperate struggle
ensued. Mr. Waring, at one time
getting the scoundrel down upon the
floor. He broke loose, however, and
in endeavoring to find a door through
which he had entered, got into a clos
et. Mr. Warring slammed the door
upon him and called to his wife, who
was already looking for a gun and
matches to come out and help him to
hold the door. Their united efforts
were not sufficient, as the burglar
forced his way out, fired two shots
from a pistol, one of which took ef
fect in Mr. Waring’s left shoulder,
and effected his escape. Parties are
in search of a negro who is suspected.
When Rev. Sam Jones last Thurs
day night declared that no man who
went into the army swearing came
out without stealing, and called upon
any ex-soldier to stand up whose con
duct in the army disapproved their
assertion, one man arose before the
great audience. “You went into the
army swearing and came out without
having stolen anything?”’ inquired
Mr. Jones, “I did,” replied the man..
“Then,” retorted the preacher, “they
must have kept everything out of
your reach or kept youin prison.”
l'l‘heu there was a roarZof applause.—
Chattanooga Times.
NEW HOBBY.
Spiritualism has a new hobby.
That famous Methodist, the Rev. Dr.
D. D. Wheden, had, shortly be
fore his death, evolved a curious the
ory as to disembodied spirits. His
Idea was that the entire nervous sys
tem in a human being, not the con
tents of the cranium alone, constitu
ted the mind. Therefore, ramifica
tions of the nerves, forming in them
selves a shape conforming exactly
to that of the whole figure, made the
soul of man just like his body so far
as configuration was concerned. He
believed that at death this contour
and semblance of the dead body sep
arated itself, and became the eternal
form of the spirit, visible to its fel
lows, and, under some conditions, to
terrestrial folks. Dr. Wheden de
scribed how the soul gets out of the
body. “Emerging upward,” he says,
“the spirit awakes into the pure ether
—a blessed atmosphere. This para
dise ether is an effluence from the di
vine essence, and the emancipated
soul bathes, swims, lives in its own
genial and native element. - Paradise
thus pervades our air above and
around us, and at death the spirit
enters thereinto as through @ veil.”
He intimated that apparations are
glimpses of the beings of this close
by but usually invisible world.
“Even the resurrected body of Christ,’
he says, “walked through the solid
wall of the house, and first revealed
itself to His disciples at the table.”.
He called these beings angeloids, and
argued that they leave behind them,
in the discarded corpse, the baser at
tributes. The pertinency of Whe
den’s theory to modern Spiritualism
lies in its harmony with the alleged
phenomena of materialization. It
has been seized upon by several of
the professional mediums, and in
some of the seances forms in sem
blance comporting with the condi
tions of his angeloids, have been
shown to astonish disciples.
HARD TIMES. |
The Scottsville Courier thinks thej
want of confidence and the hoarding
of money has caused the tight times.
The people who are in debt do not
pay up; the little money they get
hold of they hold on to, fearing that
the times may grow worse. That is
wrong. Pay your neighbor what you
owe. Then he will pay some one
‘that he owes, and so on until a com
paratively small amount of money
will liquidate a large amount of in
‘debtedness. If some of our patrons
will try it with us, we will at once
put the money into circulation.
Newspaper men are not given to com
-Iplaining, but they have been great
sufferers by the recent stagnation of
‘business.
PECULIAR.
Washington society gces crazy oyer
the attaches of foreign legaticns, who
are generally a very hard and worth
less lot, as this specimen will show :
Last winter was his first in official
society. He made his entree at a re
ception given at the residence of the
English minister, appearing in a skin
tight fitting suit of blue silk tights
similar to those worn by circus ac
tors. He had a short, braided jacket
of the same kind of blue silk. At
other entertainments he appeared in
different but equally sensational at
tire. He now amuses his friends by
changing his clothing three times a
day. He starts out with a buff suit,
follows with a slate color and gener
ally closes the day with a suit of
white stuff. He has immense En
glish cloth hats to match each suit.
Besides this, he has three bull dogs.
In the morning he has a buff dog, in
the afternoon a slate colored dog,
and in the evening a pure white bull
dog follows him. He never has any
companion but his dog. He is still
unable to converse in any language
but his own.
A HinT 10 THE Bovs.—l stood in
the store the other day when a boy
came in an applied for a situation.
“Can you wriie a good hand 7’ was
asked.
“Yaas.”
“Good at figures ?”
“Yaas”
“That will do—l don’t want you,”
said the merchant.
“But,” I said, when the boy had
gone, “I know that lad to be an hon
est, industrious boy. Why don’t you
give him a chance.”
“Because he hasn’t learned to say’
‘Yes, sir,” and ‘No, sir.” If he an- ‘
swers me as he did when applying
for a situation, how will he answer
customers after being here a month ?”’
What could I say to that? Hei
had fallen into a habit, young as he
was, which turned him away from the
first situation he had ever applied‘

THINGS WORTH KNOWING.
That glass may be cut with any
hard tool, like a chisel, for instance,
it kept constantly wet with camphor
dissolved in spirits of turpentine.
That lemon juice will whiten frost
ing, cranberry or strawberry juice
will color it pink, and the grated
rind of an orange strained through a
cloth will color it yellow.
That vegetables which lose some of
their color in being boiled may have
that color restored by plunging them
for an instant in cold water, immedi
ately after removing from the boiling
water.
That, in cases of a burn or scald,
the essential thing is to exclude the
air from the injured member as
quickly and as completely as possi
ble. That this may be accomplished
by immersing the injured part in wa
ter, not too cold, and then, as quick
ly as may be, cover with flour to the
depth of an inch, if possible, with
drawing the burned part from the
water only as fast as the flour can be
applied, thus preventing pain. Cau
tion: Never apply cotton, wool, or
cotton batting to a burn, and do not
use soda on a burn unless the skin
remains whole.
That silver spoons that have be
come discolored in contact with cook
ed eggs may be easily brightened by
rubbing with common salt. That a
lump of gum camphor in the closet
where silver or plated ware is kept
will do much towards preventing tar
nish.
The whipping-post bill introduced
in the New Hampshire legislature,
provides that any person who shall
brutally beat his wife shall receive
not more than forty nor less than ten
lashes; or be imprisoned in the
county jail not exceeding six months,
or both, at the discretion of the court.
The punishment shall be publicly in
flicted in or near the jail yard by the
sheriff of the county in which the
crime was committed, or by some
deputy or officer designated by him,
the blows to be well laid on. The
fee is placed at $l.
The Louisville Courier-Journal re
lates the story ot a drummer of that
city who came o a farturie through
having purchased for a couple of dol
lars an uncalled for box at an express
sale. The box contained specimens
of gold and silver bearing quartz, sent
to St. Louis by a party in Colorado.
The drummer had the quartz assayed,
and finding it very rich, started out
to Colorado, wbere he succeeded in
purchasing a halfinterest in the mine,
which had not been developed to any
extent. Since the purchase a rich
lead has been struck and the drum
mer is very happy.
Says the Hays County (Texas)
News: “In his speech at Mitchell’s
Grove on Emancipation day, Lewis
White a colored orator from Dupre,
said : ‘We have tried the Republican
party for twenty years. We have
tried the Loyal League and carpet
bag rule, and what have they profit
ed us? They have made us slaves
to political intriguery, and all that is
left us is broken promises and disap
pointed hopes. They told us that the
election of Cleveland would meana
return to slavrey of the colored race.
Cleveland was elected, and the conn
try was never more prosperous than
itis to-day. If Democratic govern
ment means slavery, then I, for one,
am glad to welcome such slavery.””
A Colored Man’s Testimony.
I was confined to my bed with rheu
matism for a long time. I could not
move nor suffer anyone else to move
a limb, so great was the pain. I had
several eminent physicians to treat
me, but I found no permanent relief
from their efforts. I was advised at
’last to use Swift’s Specific, which I
did. After taking the third bottle I
’was able to get up by myself. I con
tinued to improve. I gained several
‘pounds in five weeks, and my gener
al health is better than it has been
for many years. If it had not been
for Swift’s Specific I verily believe
rheumatism would have left me a
cripple for life, as my joints were al
ready stiff. 1 feel very grateful for
what this medicine has done for.me.
I put it first and foremost of all the
blood purifiers before the publie.

Mr. D. W. Curry, a prominent
druggist of Cartersville, says, “Rev.
James Hilson is a colored preacher,
and stands fair in the community as
far as I know. He has considerable
influence with his race. He has used
S. 8. 8, for I have sold him several
bottles.”
