BUSINESS MORE BRISK.
GENERAL CONFIDRKCE IN TH FU
TURE HELPS IT.
The Big Tumble In tfce Price of Bread
stuff* an Encouraging Feature-
Trade Good at Most of the Western
end Southern Points—The Treasury
Running Short.
New York, Hay I.—R. G. Dun & Co.’s
weekly review of trade says: "‘Business is
large in volume and sustained by general
confidence as to the future. It is an en
couraging symptom that the market for
breadstuffs has broken, and wheat is nearly
6 cents per bushal lower than a week ago;
oats 2 cents, and corn 1W cents lower. The
wheat and flour exports from Atlantio
ports continued far behind those of last
year, and while the reports of foreign crop
prospects are not favorable, there is really
no reason to anticipate any shortage or un
usual demand from abroad prior to the close
of the current crop year. The possible
demand next year has to meet it an excep
tionally favorable crop outlook.
TRADE GOOD IN THE SOUTH.
“Trade at most western points and south
ern points is most encouraging this week.
Better weather helps at almost ell western
p-iints. Trade is improving at Louisville,
Nashville and Atlanta,- with decided
strength at St. Louis, though for a week
barely fair at New Orleans.
“At Pittsburg the glass business is active,
and Bessemer iron is 50 cents higher, Tne
great industries are in better shape. It is a
hopeful sign that notwithstanding the addi
tion of many furnaces which have been
Idle for a month or two, the price of pig-
Iron is fairly well sustained, and the de
mand for finished products of iron and steel
Is more encouraging.
WOOLEN MANUFACTURERS HESITATE.
“Woolen manufacturers still hesitate, ap
parently, because producers are inclined to
ask higher prices for the new clip of wool
than manufacturers can pay. but there is a
belief that the consuming demand for the
goods must be as large as it ever has been in
any previous year, and clothiers, though
very cautious hitherto, begin to act upon
that belief.
“The shoe trade is still retarded by uncer
tainty as to prices for the future, but is
nevertheless fairly active.
"There has been some financial irritation
during the week owing to statements made
by Mr. Leech, director of the mint, as if by
authority of the treasury department, and
a later statement by Secretary Poster has
not entirely removed the feeling of appre
hension.
THE TREASURY NOT FLUSH.
“The treasury has but little money avail
able to meet any emergency in the mouey
market, and has paid out but little during
the past week. But gold continues to go
abroad in rather large amounts, and, while
the collapse in speculation in wheat tends to
help imports, it is possibly too late to have
much effect at present.
“The merchandise exports from New Y ork
continue much larger than a vear ago, but
the imports are also remarkably large and
there is a prospect of heavy exports of gold
rfor some months to come.
“The failures for the week number 228.
For the corresponding week of last year the
figure was 185.”
STREET CAR RETURNS.
Atlanta Lines Valued at Nearly sl,-
OOO,COO r eturned at $361,000.
Atlanta, Ga., May I.—The controller
general has disputed the return of anothor
street car company. This time it is the
Thompson-Houston Electric company, who
recently purchased the consolidated lines
of this city at a cost, as was reported, of
nearly $1,010,000. Eight hundred thousand
dollars was the lowest figure quoted
by the press when renorting
the trade. The company returns the prop
erty at a total valuation of flMil.ooo, or a
frac ion over. The controller general fails
to understand bow the return can be just,
and has sent bacs the statement for re
vision.
MURDER IN PUTNAM.
Fherman Clarke Killed by William
Mitchell.
Eatonton, Ga., May I.—Sherman Clarke
was killed to-day on the plantation of West
Kiibrough, in this county, by William
Mitchell. It appears that Clarke was in an
altercation with Mitchell’s mother, when
Mitchell came up and was attacked by
Clarke. Mitchell procured a gun aid

would shoot. His threat was not heeded,
and Clarke made an effort to reach him,
when Mitchell fired, the load taking effect
in his head, killing him instantly. Mitchell
is in jail.

Atlanta, Ga., May 1. —Mayday was ob

Spring-time Stories.

E. H. Cuttsand W. K. Wheatley of Anieri
cus, in returning through tne woods from
the Oomulgee brick w orks last Friday, met
witn an amusing, though somewhat annoy
ing nil,hap. While sauntering along the
woodland path they simultaneously descried
a beautiful little striped animal and both
rushed forward to capture it. When they
got back to town their friends avoided
them. They were fortunate enough to get
to a bath tub and procure fresh raiment.
Throe little boys, John Held, John Alli
son and Hill Harp, of this place, wuile fish
ing in the river last Saturday, killed an oak
snake five feet In length. The reptile had
swallowed a live squirrel, head foremost.
When the snake was cut open the squirrel
was alive, but died a few minutes after
being liberated.
A blue catfish of enormous size was taken
from the Ocrnulgee river last week. The
fish tipped the beam at the eighty-sixth
pound notch, and contained the skull of an
infant child.
Mr John Smith, who captured the fish,
has the skull m his pos<esi<>n.

FUNNY CHINESK RSMEDIBB.
Some Curious Medicines Included In
Tbelr Pharmacopoeia.
From the IVanhtngton Star.
Queerest of all medical systems is that of
the Chinese. The pharmacopoeia of that
strange oriental people seem to contain
j every imaginable curiosity—vegetable,
animal and mineral. With many of the
remedies included in it interest
ing and remarkable legends are
associated. For example, ram at parti
cular seasons of the year is be-
lieved in that country to have medicinal
properties. That which falls on the fifth
day of the fifth month, when the dragon
boat festival ooours, is ovlled; "Holy water"
and is used for a sedative. Rain and water
falling during the night is deemed excellent
for worms. If rain water be oollected in the
spring and drunk out of ooe cup by man
and wife they will have many children.
Storm water is good for fevers, snow water
is a vermifuge and hail water is inclined to
be poisonous.
Bats, very common in China, are be
lieved to convey their extreme longevity
and exceptional sight to those persons who
consume the disgusting preparations made
from various parts of their bodies. One
interesting remedy for eye trouh ea is the
excrement of bats, in which the doctors
pretend to detect the eyes of the mosquitoes
on whioh the creatures feed. A favorite
tonic is a reddish glue, known commonly
as ‘asses' glue,” though it is in reality ob
tained by boiling down the water of a cele
brated well, which contains a gelatinous
principle.
USEB OF ARSENIC.
If a prescription for arsenic kills the pa
tient both the seUer of the drug and the
buyer are decapitated. Chines 9 firecrack
ers containing a portion of sublimate of ar
senic are said to be louder. A considerable
portion of arsenic is contained in an alloy
of copper, of which much of the women's
jewelry is made, and a favorite mode of
commuting suicide adopted by females iu
China is to swallow their head ornaments.
The horns of a kind of deer which is said to
hang itself up in trees by its horns at night
are recommended for apoplexy. There is a
plaut called the "san-tsih,” the root of
which is believed by soldiers to promote
bravery, and its reputation is so great
among them that it sells for $3 an ounce.
Amber is given as a nervine, pieces con
taining insects being held at a high value.
A certain perennial water plant is said to
cure dropsy and confer the power of walk
ing upon water. One kind of fungus re
sembling the truffle is thought to have the
power both to destroy worms and to cast
out devils. Lie >rice root is deemed to have
the property of renewing youth. It is
recommended as a diuretic, and gunpowder
is put down as a vermifuge. Round concre
tions of iron peroxide are used in powder
for fevers. A legend conneots them with
the great god Yu, and they are alleged to
be crumbs from his table.
MEDICINAL PROPERTIES OF THE COW.
The cow is recommended in the Chinese
pharmacopoeia in the shape of beef tea.
This animal has a distinct name for each
year of its growth up to the seventh. It is
Baid to be doaf in its ears, but to hear in its
nose. Bones of the tiger, whioh is accounted
the king of beasts, are highly valued for
ague and general debility. In fact, every
part of the animal is catalogued as having
medicinal properties. Facts known about
it are that its victims become devils after
being dige-ted, but the flesh of a dog makes
the creature intoxicated. Bad smells, suoh
as burnt horn, scare it away, and the
hedgehog con get the better of it. The tiger
turns gray at the close of the first 500 years
of its life.
The wood of the box tree is supposed to
ease the pains of labor, and for this purpose
women often chop up their toilet combs,
which are commonly made of the material.
Benzoin is supposed to be good for stomach
ache. It is nruch adulterated, but there is a
sure test. If real its fume* will charm rats
out of their holes. Wbeaten bread is much
prescribed for various complaints, and
bread pills are an old remedy with Chinese
doctors.
CINNABAR and cosmetic powder.
Cinnabar, an ore of mercury, is placed at
the head of all minerals and metals, being
capable of transforming itself, in equal
periods of 200 years, into each of the live
principal metals successively, finally becom
ing gold. Worn in bags by children it
warns off wicked spirits and Bt. Vitus’
dance. Verdigris from old copper coins is
thought first-rate for skin troubles. For
cosmetic powders used by the women of
the flowery kingdom the shells of various
mollusks aro scraped, burned and refined,
scenting ingredients being added. Fossil
crabs, powdered, are used to neutralize all
kinds of poisons. Pieces of fossil ivory are
sold in stamped packages, to be prepared
and given in case3 of fever. Ambergris is
declared excellent for healing properties; it
is coughed up by dragons. Fossil teeth of
extinct mastodons are of great service for
their aotion on the liver.
VARIOUS REMEDIES.
A fungus which grows out of a caterpil
lar as a disease of the insect and transforms
it into a plant is good for jaundice. The ex
crement of the common sparrow, of the
magpie and of the wild pigeon is pre
scribed for various complaints. Extract of
dandelion renews the youth, hair and teeth
of old men. Plasters of elephant's hide are
sold for wounds that heal with difficulty.
There is an injurious fungus that is said to
cause irrepressible laughter, the patient who
has eaten of it being unable to restrain the
cacehinatory muscles.
GOLD FOR SUICIDE.
Gold leaf is much used, by swallowing,
for suicidal purposes, the metal producing
Irritation and death; solid gold is employed
similarly. A hot gold needle is thrust into
the gums to relieve toothache. The most
common and convenient poison used in
China is opium, a drug always at hand.
Mandarins of high rank usually wear on
their persons a small bead filled with what
is called peacock’s blood. This they are
said to take when they desire to destroy
themselves suddenly. Every part of the
pig is believed to have some special medici
nal property. Dried scorpions are much
employed in the treatment of very many
diseases, and seed pearls likewise.
WATER AS A MEDICINE.
Water among the celestials stands in the
forefront of all medicinal agents. It is the
first of the sixteen great classes of all known
substances and is divided into the heavenly
aud the terrestial descriptions; of the former
there are thirteen sorts, and of the latter,
thirty. The hydropathic system is very
ancient in that country. Mater in which
the “five precious metals’’--gold, silver,
copper, iron and tin —have been boiled Is a
popular remedy for domestic emergencies,
such as faintness and accidents of any kind.
Personal ornaments and a medley of arti
cles generally make up the required combi
nation of materials.
There is a certain kind of anteater, about
two feet long, whose body is covered with
movable scales. It lives on insects by
catching them upon Its toDgua, but some
times it lies down as if dead, and as the flies
collect upon its body it closes its scales sud
denly upon them and, entering the water,
feasts upon the prey which floats drowned
to the surface. The triangular scales of
this animal were formerly prescribed for
every imaginable disease, but their prin
cipal use at present is to scratch itching
surfaces, for wtiieh purpose they are fixed
upon a length of bamboo as a kind of cur
rycomb.
FADER AND PAPER MAKING.
A-hes of paper are given as an astringent,
and the paper of nn old book, after the
printed chai acters held in such veneration
have been cut out, is ji remedy for barren
ness. Paper is used in various other ways
for purposes medicinal. Nowhere in the
world is tins important fabric so extensively
employed as in China. Anciently bamboo
leaves scorched before a flame were used to
write upon, and tola material still co itrib
bates largely to the manufacture of the
finished article at the present day. In the
reign of the Empe or Ho ti the birk of cer
tain trees came luto u e for pa;<r making,
being boiled to a pulp, along with silk, old

THOUGHT THEY HAD BURIED HIM
But Now They Are Convinced That
the Supposed Dead Soldier ie Alive.
From the Pittsburg Dispatch (hid).
McLeansboro, 111,, April 19. —ln
August, 1861, William Newby enlisted in
White county, 111., in Company I), Fortieth
regiment, Illinois Volunteers. On April 6,
18(52, he was wounded in the head at the
t attle of Shiloh and left for dead on the
field. One of his comrades afterward made
affidavit that he helped to bury him. Last
fall a man appeared here who could give
but little account of himself, but who
applied for transportation to Carmi, stating
that he was once a resident of that countv
and wished to go to the county poor farm.
Nothing was heard of him again until
last Sunday, when he again appeared here
and announced that he was William Newby,
and that he was supposed to have been
killed at the battle of Shiloh. Several
members of his regiment met him on Sun
day and Monday, and all united in the
opinion that he was the identical inan who
was supposed to have been killed nearly
thirty years ago.
Moses Robinson, a member of Company
C, same regiment, claims to have seen
Newby after he was shot and supposed to be
dead, hut he recognized the stranger im
mediately. Creed A. I .ay, a member of the
same regiment, who saw him shot, also
recognized him on Monday. He appeared
before A. M. Wilson, a lawyer of this place,
and made application for a pension, four of
his old comrades making affidavit that he
was the Identical Newby whv was wounded
and left for dead on the battlefield of Shiloh.
A purse was made up for Newby, and on
Monday he weut to Carmi, hoping to meet
some of hie family or friends.
Newby is suffering from partial paraly
sis, emlepsy and looomotoratoxia as the re
sult of the wound in his head. He says he
lay on the battlefield from Sunday until
Wednesday, when a burial party came to
bury the dead. He was discovered to be
alive, and was sent to the hospital, where he
was afterward discovered by an uncle, who
was a rebel, who took him to his home and
afterward took him to Key West. After
keeping him some time his uncle placed
him in the poorhouse, wljere he remained
seventeen years. He was then sent to
Cnattanooga, where he also remained in a
poorhouse seven years. From there he was
sent to Henderson, Ky., where he was again
a poorhouse inmate for one year.
Since then he has been sent from place to
place, and the man seems to have had no
knowledge of passiug events until his sudden
appearance here last Sunday, when a gloom of
intelligence seemed to lift the mist from bis
past life, and lie announced to his astonished
auditors who he was.
To-day Hezekiah Newby, a sem of Will
iam Newby, appeared here hunting the
man who claims to be uis father. He is a
young farmer, liviog six miles east of Mill
Shoals, White county, and only yesterday
be heard of the mysterious stranger appear
ing here and claiming to be his father.
He determined to investigate the
matter, aud to-mght went to
Carmi to find, if possmle, his long-lost
father. His mother is living in Texas is
still a widow, and has been drawing a pen
sion from the government oil account of
the death of her husband. Young Newbv
says if it proves to be bis father be will
telegraph to his mother that the “dead is
alive,' and nave her return at once.
It is remarkable how many
people there are who have
That Tired Feeling who seem
to think it is of no importance
or that nothing need be done
for it. They would not be
so careless if they realized
how really serious the malady
is. But they think or say
“It will go off after a while.”
We do not mean the legiti
mate weariness which all ex
perience after a hard day’s
work, but that all gone, worn
out feeling which is especially
overpowering in the morning
when the body should be re
freshed and ready for work.
It is a Mistake
To allow this condition to
continue, as the body may
soon become debilitated be
yond recovery, or some se
rious disease may gain a te
nacious foot-hold. The crav.
ing of the system for assist
ance should be gratified by
taking Hood’s Sarsaparilla,

cine. It purifies and vital
izes the blood, regulates the
digestion and really does
