_Aj sma’l pamphlet, narrating the life
and career of Prince Napoleon, heir to
the Bonaparte dynasty, is at present being
circulated extensively among the French
peasantry. The pamphlet contains a like
ness of the Prince dressed in civilian
clothes, with ribbons and medals on his
coat lapel. The resemblance to the great
Napoleon is very striking.
The Boom in Nails.—Leading Pitts
burg, Pennsylvania, manufacturers aiw
quoted as expressing the opinion that the
price of nails, which has been rapidly ad
vancing for some time, will reach $7 per
keg by the niidddlc of March. The rea
son for this is that the manufacturers are
without stock and many arc thousands of
kegs behind their orders, whilst there are
but few nails in stock in the country.
—An Indianapolis dispatch says there is
no abatement of the exodus of Carolina
negroes. They continue to arrive in laige
and small lots. Since November 27 over
2,300 have arrived, and not one is making
money enough to provide for the necessa
ries of life. Of the 250 families in the
city, fully one-third are sick with conta
gious diseases. The city dispensaries fur
nish an average of twenty prescriptions
per day.
—If longevity, as a national character,
istic, be a fair test of the healthiness of
a country or tlie tough vitality oT Its peo
ple, then Greece may claim to lead the
civilized world on the score of its sanitary
perfection. Of all countries in Enrope it
seems to possess the greatest number of
what may be called very old people—that
is to say, people from ninety years of age
and upward; out of a population of 1,457,-
804, it has of these veterans no fewer tlian
1,308.
—A singular suicide recently occurred
iu China. A young widow publicly an
nounced that she would hang herself rath
er than yield to the wishes of her parents
and marry again, and the sacrifice was
actually consummated in broad daylight.
A crowd of the woman’s friends and ad
mirers assembled, and tlie tragic ceremony
was preceded by a reception of visitors on
a platform erected for the occasion. After
receiving the mingled applause and condo
lence of her friends, the poor young crea
ture mounted a chair, placed the rope
around her neck, and swung herself oil'in
the presence of the gathering.
—One hundred years ago, fn 1780, Marie
Antoinette was full of joy in her litttle
palace of Trianon; Neckar had begnn to
put liis finaucial genius into practice;
Bonaparte was studying at Bricnne; Tal
leyrand was Treasurer of the clergy;
Vergniaud and Guadet were pleading at
Bordeaux; Robespierre was wr.ting me
morials on the abolition of the penalty of
death; Mirabcau was in tlie prison of Vin
cennes writing his famous essays on let-
trot de cachet. None of the great actors
who were to play a role on the scene of
tlie world had yet been revealed, and none
suspected the eminence to which they
were to rise.
—A readjustment of tlie boundary be
tween tlie State of Georgia and Florida
was recently made liy careful and expe
rienced surveyors. Tlie result of this sur
vey gave Florida a strip of territory three-
foiirtlis of a mile wide, extending from
the Apalachicola river to the St. Mary's.
Georgia had stretched her domains a lit
tle too far into the territory purchased by
the United States from Spain. No titles
are affected or disturbed by this read
justment of territory, hut a considerable
body of land is added to the tax duplicates
of Florida and taken from those of Geor
gia.
—The following extract from a sermon
preached by Sydney Smith to her Majesty
Queen Victoria, on her accession to the
throne, is, thinks the London Truth, wor
thy of recalling: “Extinguish in your
heart the fiendish love of military glory
from which your sex does not necessarily
exempt you, and to which the wickedness
of flatterers may urge you. Say upon
your death-bod, “I have made *few or
phans in my reign; I have made few wid
ows. My object lias been peace. I have
used all the might of my character and
the power of my situation to check the
irascible passion of mankind and turn
them to tlie arts of industry.”
Is the Oli> Man In?—Says a special
Washington dispatch to the World: “Yes,
tlie “old man” is in, and lie’s going to
stay in until the race is over. He’s at
work already.”
The above question was asked in the
Senate corridors this morning by a gentle
man who was an ardent supporter of Mr.
Tilden in 1876, but who has since become
disgusted with him and his methods,
and the answer was made by a gen
tleman who was in Mr. Tilden’s em
ploy at $300 a month during the campaign
and who is still one of his avowed sup-
porters. Tlie “old mau”' referred to was
of coarse Mr. Tilden, as he was known
and spoken of by that term when running
for tlie presidency.
—A writer describing Nassau, N. P.,
in the London Queen says: “The suba
queous gardens of the Bahamas are one
of the most interesting scenes imaginable
and more tlian fulfil any ideas that fancy
may create about them. They are really
fairy gardens, for far down in the clear
green water wave brilliant sea grass, flow
ers, and vines, while many species of fish,
varying in line and size from the green and
golden minnows, not two onnees in
weight, perhaps, to the ponderous jew-
flsh, clad in a coat of silver mail, and
weighing over five hundred pounds, dash,
through the shrubbery, or placidly float in
a grotto. Conches in which pinkish pearls
are ccv «aledmay also be found there,
and with them nearly every species of
aliell fish indigenous to tropical seas.”
—Frof. Collation of Geneva lias effected
an importaut improvement iu the ingeni

The Chicken Slain.
From special dispatches received last
evening, we learn that jn the chicken
wain now in progress in. Charleston Ma-
eon is one fight ahead, with six more to
be fought. The main has been very
closely contested, and the score has been
evenly balanced. Thirty seven cocks
went from Macon. It wasfoHnd difficult,
however, to make good matches of them,
and only twenty fights were arranged,
with one hundred dollars a fight on each
aide, it will thus be seen that while vic
tory is with the Georgia Shawlnccks no
great amount of money has changed hands
ao far, except on outside betting. Tlie
Carolina chickens must have been good
ones to have stood so valiantly before the
Sliawlnecks. The main opened on Thurs
day and will close this evening. The
races will commence on Monday.
THE FREEDXEVS BANK.
Prospects of the Passage of the O’
Connor Bill.
Many of the colored people of Macon
are interested in the bill recently intro
duced in Congress by Hon. M. P. O’Con
nor, Democratic Congressman from the
Charleston, South Carolina District, for
the reimbursement of the colored people
who lost by the Freedman's Bank swludlo.
The hank was organized and operated by
Republicans, but it remains to a Demo
crat to take active steps for the relief of
the darkies. We take the following let-
tere from the Savannah Netcs, and they
will be read with interest by all who had
deposits in the bank at the time of its
suspension. The writer, Abraham
Burke, is a well known and respectable
colored man of Savannah:

Son. M. P. O'Connor, M. C., Wash
ington, 1). C.: Dear Sik—Having no
ticed in the proceedings of Congress your
humane and excellent bill for tlie govern
ment to assume the liabilit ies of the Freed
man’s Bank, I take the liberty of writing
and asking you to be so kind as to inform
mo wliat chance has the hill to become a
law. Hundreds, nay, thousands of col
ored men, of whom I am one, throughout
this city and State, have hailed with de
light your action,'and thank the great God
that he has raised up for ns a friend in
you, who knows wliat the colored man
has suffered, and who will protect them
as far as lays in liis power to do. Your
name will ever he known and honored
amongst us, and the prayers of grateful
thousands will ascend to heaven for the
welfare of yonrself and family. I hope
you will excuse the liberty I have taken
in writing to you, but I was told by Judge
D. A. O’Bryi.e, of this city, that he was
sure, from your kindness and nobleness cf
character, that you would not hesitate to
reply to me, although I am but an hum
ble colored man. l’lease let me know if
there is any possibility of your bill pass
ing this session. Will you please also to
give me any information relative to the
bank that will be of benefit to my people.
I have tlie honor to be, very respect
fully, your obedient servant,
Abraham Burke.
To this letter the distinguished Demo
cratic Congressman returned the following
prompt reply, which will be of great in
terest to onr colored population generally,
and will show them what efforts arc being
made in tlieir behalf by a Democratic
Congressman:
House op Representatives,
Washington, January 25, 1880.
Abraham burke, Savannah, Georgia:
Your letter has been received, andiu an
swer I have to say that I am doing all I
can to advance the cause of the swindled
freedmen of the South. The bill is now
in charge of a sub-committee from the
“Ways and Means,” and just as soon as
tlie chairman of this sub-committee, Mr.
Gibson, of Louisiana, lately elected Sena
tor, arrives in the “capital,” I will have
the matter brought up for consideration.
I cannot foresee the action of Congress,
but with a cause such as the one in which
we are engaged, I cannot lmt hope for
favorable results before this Congress goes
out.
I remain, very respectfully, yours faith
fully, ‘ M. P. O’Connor.
Serious Loss.
Yesterday Mrs. J. Cooner, of Houston
county, met with quite a serious loss. She
had come to tlie city with a number of
bales of cotton, and after selling, she
started home by the usual road for Hous
ton county.
Tlie money from the sale of tlie cotton
amounted to about three hundred dollars.
A halt was made at Mr. John Hull's,
about nine miles from the city, and by
some means a basket, which contained
the pocket book in which the funds were
placed, was left on the side of the road,
where the halt was made previous to go
ing into Mr. Huff’s. The loss was not
discovered until a number of miles had
been traveled, and then it was remem
bered exactly where the missing basket
had been left. On returning to the spot,
however, it was found that the basket had
vanished. It is supposed that some dar
key in passing saw it and appropriated it.
Mrs. Cooner is mucli distressed under her
loss. She is one of the best ladles of
Houston county. We hope she may he
successful In recovering her lost treas
ure. •
Off tHe Track.
Last evening a slight accident occurred
near the carshed which seriously inter
fered with the incoming and outgoing
trains. The Macon and Augusta train
which hacks into the shed, liad arrived a
little behind schedule time but liad
hacked in and discharged its passengers
and baggage. In going out from the de
pot, however, a loose switch caused a
change in the rails, and after
the entire train had passed
successfully over it tlie back
truck of the last passenger coach, instead
of remaining on the proper rails, was
switched off to another track, wrench
ing the track badly and otherwise slight
ly injuring the car. The Central train,
and the Atlanta, and incoming and outgo
ing trains, wore compelled to use the
track of the Southwestern, causing consid
erable confusion and inconvenience to
travelers. The damage will be repaired
by this morning. The cause of tlie acci
dent must have been on account oi the
switch not being properly locked.
Superior Court.
Yesterday the Superior Court was again
occupied the entire day on tlie Gray-Obcar
case. The arguments were made by some
of the counsel and will be concluded
this morning. Colonel John Rutherford
opened for the plaintiff, Mr. Gray,, in a
speech of about two hours, and was fol
lowed by Judge Anderson in an argument
for Mr. Obear, the executor, which occu
pied about three hours.
Captain J. C. Rutherford commenced
his argument in conclusion for the plain
tiff. He will conclude this morning when
after Judge Simmons’ charge, the case
will go to the jury. All of the speeches
were able.
The case is attracting considerable at
tention in the city. What the verdict of
the jury will be however, conjecture even
fails to state.
Banco in Vinevllle.
One of the pleasantest social events
wlrich lias taken place in the village of
Vineville this season, occurred last even
ing at the residence of Mrs. Sorrell, in a
dance given by the young gentlemen of
that place. The entire house was thrown
open and the gathering was very large.
Kessler’s band discoursed music in its best
time and sweetest notes, and the space al
lotted to the dancers was filled throughout
the evening.
The whole of young Vineville was out,
and a more congenial and happy gather
ing has seldom been seen. A favored few
attended from the city, and were received
witli a genuine welcome. The affair was
well arranged and managed by Mr. Ward
Holt and Mr. J. S. Jones. The Vineville
dances are noted for the thorough enjoy
ment they afford to all attending them.

Tbe Fool.
At the meeting of the Southern Railroad
and Steamship Association in Atlanta,
which adjourned on Thursday evening,
the old officers were all re-elected and it
was decided to continue the office in Ma
con. This intelligence will be learned
with pleasure by the many frionds of the
gentlemen who occupy the official posi
tions of the Association and the employes
of the office.
Macon is admirably adapted for tlie
transaction of the business of the pool.
Every facility that could be obtained
elsewhere is here found and in the mat
ter of printing the reports of the transac
tions it lias been found by actual experi
ence that the facilities are greater in Ma
con than in Atlanta or any other place yet
suggested for the location of the office. We
congratulate the gentlemen of the office on
tbe decision.
The meeting of the Association ad
journed on Thursday evening. Yester
day the Grand Committee remained over
in Atlanta to revise and cqnalize to . a
greater extent the rates of freights. There
will in some instances be reductions, and
in others slight advances. This meeting
has been an important one, and was vety
largely attended by prominent railroad
men interested in the Association.

Wc note with pleasure that the author
ities have put the upper crossing over the
Vineville branch in first-class order- The
ancient stumps, which - have becu such
obstacles in the roadway, have been re
moved. The work has been thoroughly
done. On account, however, of the
constant attrition of the water, repairs at
this place will hardly be permanent until
it is bridged. It is a very important av
enue of trade, and cert ainly is worthy of
a bridge.
Barmitzvnh at tbe Synagogue.
One of the most interesting ceremonies
in the Jewish faith is the liarmilzvalt or
Confirmation Service, and recognized by
all Israelites as the religious majority.
The rite takes place on the Sabbath fol
lowing tlie thirteenth birthday of the
males, and in the fourteenth year of the
females. The male confirmant reads in
Hebrew a section of the Pentateuch and
delivers an address—a valedictory to
youth and confession of.faith. The con-
firmant of this morning is Henry Glass,
son of Mr. M. Glass, of Fort Valley. Dr.
Benson will conduct the services. Doors
open at ten o’clock and close at half past
ten. The public is invited.
Supposed Murderer Arrested.
Yesterday officer Fennell arrested on
Fourth street a suspicious looking darkey
who answers to the description of a col
ored man who is charged and is wanted
for the offense of murder in Taylor
county. He was lodged in the barracks
and held for further intelligence. Parties
in Taylor county were telegraphed for
information by the Chief of Police but
up to a late hour last evening no answer
had been received. On his person were
found a pistol and $4.10 in money. He
gave as his name Henry Wood. It is
supposed this name is an alias, and that
George Walker is the correct name.
Attempted Bobbery.
Night before last considerable excite
ment was caused on Jefferson street by
the attempt of two men to enter the house
of William Savage, a well known colored
barber of this city. Two separate at
tempts were made. The second time the
two men secreted themselves under the
front porch of the house to await an op
portunity to-enter. They were discover
ed and the alarm given, when they left
precipitately. A crowd from the neigh
borhood soon congregated, and for a short
while excitement ran high.
Tlie tenant of the house, who was not
at home at the time, announces that he
lias eighteen buckshot ready for the next
visit of the two men.
Colonel Haskell, of South Carolina.
Editors Telegraph and Messenger:
I see in the press dispatches that there is
some trouble in Columbia, South Caroli
na, between General William W. Gary
and Colonel John C. Haskell. Of course
I do not know anything about the partic
ulars of the difficulty between the two
gentlemen, but one thing I do know, Col
onel Haskel is one of the noblest men I
ever met, and was a gallant Confederate
officer—as brave as Julius Caesar. He
lost his right arm during the war. The
writer served with Colonel Haskell as ad
jutant, at the time he commanded a bat
talion of artillery, made up of Virginia,
North Carolina, Alabama and Georgia
batteries. lie was quite a young man, but
no officer in the Confederate army filled
more foithily the uniform ho wore. Af
ter the war he married a daughter of
Governor (Senator). Hampton, and upon
one or two occasions, has visited Macon.
He has many friends in Georgia who
wish him well, and would deplore any
misiortune that might happen to him per
sonally. N. M. H.

A former President of a New England
college, after getting a seat in a horse-car,
noticed one' of tlie Freshman of his college
curled up in front of him, and exhibiting
the obvious signs of vinous exhilaration.
A close inspection revealed the fact that
the state of inebriety was not hastily put
on (like a hat), but had been worn close
ly (like an under-shirt) for several days.
For a few moments the President survey
ed the under-graduate with' an expression
of mingled commission and disgust, and
finally exclaimed, “Been on a drank.*”
The half-conscious student rallied his
straying senses, and with a gleam of good
fellowship in his eye, somewhat unexpect

SUPERIOR COURT.
A Hang 1 Jury.
Yesterday morning the Gray-Obear
case was resumed in the Superior Court,
Captain J. C. Rutherford concluing for
the plaintiff, in what was pronounced by
many to he finest effort he has ever made
in this city. The juty was charged and
the case placed in their keeping about one
o’clock. Since that time they have been
cloistered to themselves and have been
unable to make a verdict. .The case will*
in all probability, result iu a mistrial.
men assembled last evening at the armory
of the Volunteers, to witness the drawing
for the five hundred dollar bond, and to
attend the auction of the remaining ar
ticles. -The bond has enlisted more inter
est than anything else, and the tickets
have been very generally distributed,
not only in Macon, but in neighboring
cities.
Last evening in the presence of the as
sembled crowd, the managers, Major W,
H. Ross, Mr. J. F. Hanson and Captain
T. L. Massenbeig placed the numbers in
the wheel provided for tlie purpose; Mas
ter Ollie Hodges was blindfolded and after
the wheel had been revolved and the
tickets thoroughly mixed up, twenty-five
tickets were drawn out and read to the
audience by Major Ross. The interest be
came intense as each number was read
and each holder present rapidly ran over
liis tickets to see if aDy of those drawn
were among them. The numbers thus
drawn were:
585, 430, 40, 864, 833, 820, 287, 601,
376,720,435,141,300,400, 302 104, 743,
612, 304„1G2,524,. 529,358, 172, 859,
The wheel was emptied, and the twen
ty-five tickets placed therein, and after re
volving as usual five were drawn out.
.These numbers were 743, 300, 162,741
and G12. The excitement here became
intense. These five were placed in tho
wheel, and the winning ticket, number
012, drawn out amid cheers and a perfect
buzz of inquiry all over the room.
It was soon ascertained that G12 was
held by Mr. J. L. Cook. The report
spread that two young ladies were inter
ested in tho drawing with Mr. Cook. In
an interview last evening, however, Mr.
Cook stated that he was the sole owner oi
the lucky ticket.
Attentiou was next directed to the
raffles. Dr. J. S. Baxter won the elegant
bedroom furniture by a throw of forty-live.
Mr. T. H. Henderson won the handsome
easy chair.
On tlie evening previous, Miss Aurie
Hall wou tho large aquarium, and Mayor
Huff the smaller one. Mr. J. S. Stewart
won the handsome saddle donated by
Messrs. Bemd Brothers.
A large quantity of goods were auctioned
off, leaving on hand, however, quite a
supply,among others, a hale of. sheeting
dqnated by Messrs. Hanson. ,
The votes were counted out last even
ing. For tho most popular young gentle
man, the vote stood.-
W. II, Woodson, Si; E. A. Isaacs, 45;
J. Emanuel, 11; Rowe Price, IS; T. B.
Blackshear, 15; scattering, 2. Mr. Wood-
sou was declared the winner, and was

For the most popular officer the vote
stood: Lieutenant W. B. Sparks, 1G2:
Lieutenant Conner, 72; Captain Harde
man, 0; Captain Carnes 0, and Captain
McManus 1. The sword was accordingly

Chinese Executions and Jails. "
A correspondent of the World, writing
from Shanghai, says: “I went to see six
Chinese pirates belieaded yesterday. The
open square where all tho executions took
place, was filled with Chinese of all ages
and conditions,- and a few Europeans
among them. The prisoners were the
most forlorn starvelings I ever saw, and
betrayed no more fear at their approach
ing fate than if they were to be spectators
of an execution. A huge Tartar officiated
as executioner. He was armed with a na
tive sword, and stood on a small platform
in the centre of the square. After the
criminals, with their hands tied behind,
liad been taken upon the stage, the execu
tioner took one of tho pirates by the arm,
orought him to the edge of the platform,
hit him a sharp rap with his hand on the
head, which caused the poor fellow
to how his head, and then the execu
tioner’s sword went up, was poised in the
air a full minute, and with a sweep the
glittering blade descended and the poor
criminal’s head went flying off in one di
rection fcnd the body in the other.
One by one the others met their death
in the same way, the Tartar making a
very short, business-like job of it, merely
turning to receive the plaudits of the
crowd after each head rolled off, and re
sponded by a grin which showed every
one of his teeth. But the stolidity of the
poor wretches was beyond description.
Not a muscle quivered, and even when
waiting for the blade of the executioner
to descend I could not detect a sign of
emotion. The crowd seemed to enjoy
the sight immensely, and set up a yell of
delight at each cut of the Tartar’s sword.
Iam told that executions are common
here.
Sickened with the sight I went down
one cf the roads, and coming to a prison,
went in. Of all places in this world, I
believe there is notone where so much ab
ject wretchedness can be seen as in a
Chinese prison. The criminals serving
out sentence, got but one meal a week
from the authorities. The rest of the
time they are fed by their friends, if they
have any; by the contributions of visitors
or they starve. I had not much money on
going in, but came out penniless, the poor
murdering a man. They were hanged by
the neck in a kind of wooden stock, so ar
ranged that their feet could just
touch the ground, and were left 1 in
this condition until dead. Sometimes
death ensues, very soon, but oftener a day
or two will pass before the poor wretch
dies, as tlieir is no piessure on the neck,
I was glad to get away from this place,
too. But the piteous tones of the poor
prisoners, begging for ‘cumshaw* (a pres
ent), ring in my ears yet.”
Memorial to the Commissioner*.
The following was handed in for publi
cation, and will explain itself:
To the Commissioners of liibb Comity:
We, tlie undersigned citizens of Macon,
represent that the erection of a jail on
Mulberry street adjoining the County
Court House, will:
1. Prove an injury to the value of
adjacent property, in as much, though tlie
jail may be concealed from the front by
the erection of a jailer’s residence, tlie
families between the jail and river will be
forced to endure tho vile obscenity of the
imprisoned criminals or move from the
neighborhood.
2. That the moral influence alone of a
jail in . the vicinity, will cause, as it has
done in other cities, tlie removal of the
better classes, their places being taken by
the low and disreputable.
3. This portion of the city having been
chosen as the most fit place in the whole
county for the erection of our elegant
monument to tlie dead Confederate"he
roes of Bibl), that our feelings should hot
be outraged by putting in such near con
tact tbe cells that are to contain the vil
lains of the community.
4. Tliough it were possible to conceal
the prisoners from eveiy point of view,
yet their voices can be heard, unless their
moutlis are kept continually gagged, and
their outrageous profanity will constantly
float iu upon the set vices of at least three
of our principal churches. The human
voice can he heard over half a mile dis
tinctly, lienee in the summer especially,
when all windows are compelled to be
open, the blasphemous screams of those
confined will prove an intolerable nui
sance to worshippers on tbe quiet Sab
bath.
5. Tiiat criminals who are to suffer the
extreme peualty of the law, must be hung
in the jail yard, which will still further
depress the value ot adjoining property,
yet more degrade our noble monument,
aud sadly reflect upon onr churches, that
tlie home of tlie blasphemer and law
breaker should; stand so prominently in
their very midst.
Hence wc believe that the county will
lose much less even by iucreasing the pay
of deputy sheriffs for their extra walking
to and from a more distant jail, than will
be lost in reduced taxes by tlie deprecia
tion of valuable property, and for reasons
above stated, we respectfully ask that the
jail be put in its old position if tiiat be
possible, or iu some, other less used and
inhabited part of tlie city tlian that near
our county cotirt-liouse, anil your peti
tioners as in.duty bound will ever pray.'

New Bell.
The hell donated by the Hibernian So
ciety to St. Joseph’s Church; has arrived,
and is now to be seen on Fourth street in
front of the church, where it has been
placed preparatory to its final location in
the belfry of the church. It is an elegant
bell of some two thousand pounds weight,
from the celebrated foundry of the Mene-
lys, of Troy, New York. The Hiber
nians had sonic six hundred dollars in tlieir
treasury, and by a vote of the society it
was appropriated to this .commendable
purpose. The church lias been without a
hell for many years. The building was
originally used by the Presbyterians of
the city, and was subsequently sold to the
Catholics. Singe their purchase no bell
has sounded from its steeple. The bel
fry has, however, been thoroughly exam
ined by competent architects, and they
pronounced it able to sustain and accom
modate the bell. We congratulate the
church on this acquisition. The Catholic
denomination have more frequent use for
bells tlian any other, and this one will be
quite an addition to the chimes of the
city. ___
Visitors to Belshazzar.
We hear of parties being made up, in
several of the towus situated on the vari
ous railroads centering in Macon, to attend
the coming renditions of this brilliant op
era during next week. If tlie railroad
authorities would grant a liberal reduction
or fares, there would doubtless he a much
larger attendance of visitors than were
here last May. Something might be dond
to get railroad officials to offer induce
ments to parties at a distance.

VICTORY AT LAST. (
Stammering and Cancers Cured by
Dr. Moses A Son, recently from At
lanta.
From the acknowledged fact that the
true nature and causes of stammering
have never been determined by medical
men, no effective remedy has ever been
suggested for ifs correction. So, fyr the
want of correct apprehension of (lie real
character of cancer, this loathsome ili>-
ease has very placidly been .set down as
incurable.
“ For .the same reason that the stammerer
has been permitted to agonize, the world
With his mockish articulation and painful
contortions, so the pitiable subjects of can
cer have been left to battle with its pain
ful, disgusting and life. destroying ravages
under the sterotyped decree that these
maladies cannot be cured.
, But these lisping, stuttering voices and
despondent groans need no longer be
heard. Both these inveterate problems
that have so long defied human science
have at last been demonstrated and prac
tically solved. Dr. N. A. Moses, of Vir
ginia, has recently touched tlie key
note that now triumphantly procaims vic
tory over these humiliating troubles. He
unfetters the stammering tongue and bids
it speak with ease and flnency.
He is demonstrating in his daily pracr
tice that cancers can be positively aud
permanently cured. Thousands of valua
ble tongues long fettered are to-ilay-shout-
ling victory with clear and distinct voices,
and thousands more gratefully lauding
the same benefactor for happy dejiyer-
ance from the ominous ravages of cancer
‘and other offensive and destructive ulcers.
Dr. Moses hps lias taken-rooms at the
Lanier House, Macon, Georgia, where he
can be seen and consulted. *
Atlanta, Ga., January 26, 1880.
. . This is to certify that I have recently
jbeen afflicted. with, two cancers—one on
my nose and the other on iny upper lip.
It has been about four years since they
began to make their appearance, and have
continued to progress until about a month
ago, when Dr. Moses began to,treat them,
lie has entirely removed theta both, and
without the aid of knife or instrument of
anytkind, and they appear to be entirely
and permanently cured. I cheerfully rec
ommend his treatment to all in need of
such help.' i.
