The Life of Mr. Stephens. •
The Atlanta Constitution says: “No
biography of Mr. Stephens that has
been or may be written can compare
with, much less supplant, the life ef
the great commoner, written by Col.
William Malcolm Johston and Dr.
William Hand Brown. Col. Jokn
sten not only had the advantage of a
great mass et materials furnished by
Mr. Stephens, but the advantage of
the most intimate personal assooia-)
tion extending over a period of a quar
ter of a century. There was always a
tacit understanding between them
that Col. Johnston would write Mr.
Stephen’s life. This understanding
was the outgrowth ami result of their
intimacy aad not the cause of it.
When Mr. Stephens and Col. John
ston were not together, they kept up
a constant correspondence, aud in
some respects this cofespondenco is
unique. Mr. Stephens wrote of him
self as of one with whom he was in
timately acquainted, but always, when
giving autobiographical facts and
reminiscences, ip the third person.
This correspondeuae grew from year
to year, and copious extracts there
from form the basis of Col. John
ston's book. The manuscript of the
volume wns submitted to Mr. Ste
phens and twice revised by him, and
it went forth with something more
than hip sanction and endorsement.
Tlie result is a llfeof Mr. Stephens,
which/Is not only an entertaiuiug
history of a typical American career,
hut il graphio history of the most im-
I pertain political perio 1 of the 'eouu-
I try.
/' The Constitution speaks very high
ly of the book, but not more highly
thau it deserves. No reading is more
beneficial than tlie biographies of such
men as Aiexauder Stephens. Bill
Arp never wrote truer words than
when he said: “I have thought, a
good deal about education, aud 1 tell
you, iu all seriousness, that 1 believe
tlie best education fora boy is to rend
tbo history of great and good men.
-Biography is example, gqtod example,
and if it is well and faßffully, and
pleasantly written, it is
a go

A Perfect Remedy in 20 Diseases.
Ashfield, Mass.
I am verging on eighty years, and
deem it my duty to suffering humanity
to say that my long life Is due to Bn AN
eretii’s Pills which have been my
sole medioine for half a century. I
know the last forty-three years of my
life is owing solely to their use. Your
Pills saved me many times after the
best medical skill in several Stales had
given me up as hopeless. I have had
many converts to purgation with
Branduetii’s Pills, and have seen
them perform almost miracles of cure.
For children, a few doses have cured
measles, scarlet fever, and whooping
cough. In ull female troubles and
weakness I have never known them
to fail. In adult mules I have known
them to cure tlie worst oases of dyspep
sia, rheumatism, kiduey diseases, dys
entery and aud diarrhoea; even dropsy,
paralysis, and apoplexy have yielded
to a persistent course of Bit ANDKETII’s
Pills. In fact I have found them the
true Life Elixir. They uct as' contin
ual preventives against the effects of
time, disease and labor.
