The Multiplication of Diseases.—
Diseases multiply. One begets' an
other. A trifling indisposition may,
therefore, originate a complication of
dangerous maladies. Indigestion be
gets far more formidable diseases ; a
multitude of ailments are traceable to
constipation; fever and ague unhinge
the entire nervous system, and are there
fore the source of the protean ail
ments which affect that portion of the
human organism. Hostetter’s Stom
ach Bitters, however, whether resorted
to at the inception of those disorders
of the stomach, bowels or liver, which
give birth to the majority of diseases
and disabilities, or taken when they
have ripened into formidable maturity,
are alike powerful to cure. The pro
cess of recovery is, of course, longer
when the malady has gained headway,
but it is none the less certain. Dys
pepsia, constipation, biliousness, kid
ugy complaints and intermittent fever,
invariably yield to the operation of the
great alterative and invigorant.

A SAD ACCIDENT.
An Old Lady Run Over by Cars on
Washington Street.
Yesterday afternoon, just before 4
o’clock, as an .old lady, named Mrs.
Mary Rooney, nearly 80 years of age,
was coming.up Ellis street, she attempt
ed to cross the railroad track on Wash
ington street, in front of an approach
ing train of 12 or 13 cars, which was
backing through the street propelled by
a Street Railroad engine, the “ Oothca
looga.” The flagman had passed the
crossing when Mrs. Rooney endeavored
to pass between him and the first car
approaching, but was knocked down
by the car, and the wheels passed over
her left leg near the ankle. The wheels
seemed to have completely cut the
woman’s leg off.
The screams of several ladies on the
sidewalk on Washington street, who
saw the accident, attracted the atten
tion of the engineer, who immediately
reversed his engine, and the train was
stopped very suddenly.
Dr. Eugene Foster, hearing the
screams of the ladies, while sitting in
his office near by, ran out and reached
the unfortunate woman just as Mr. A.
W. Blanchard ran up, and the two gen
tlemen gave, her all the assistance in
their power. She was removed to Dr.
Eugene Foster’s office, a few steps dis
tant. Dr. Foster applied instruments
to prevent the flow of blood, after
which a stretcher was obtained, and
she was removed to the City Hospital.
At the City Hospital a number of
prominent city physicians visited Mrs.
Rooney during the afternoon, and
many of them assisted Dr. Foster in
his services.
The right leg of Mrs. Rooney was
amputated just below the knee by Dr.
Foster, assisted by seven other physi
cians and surgeons, soon after her
arrival at the Hospital. The patient
did not seem to suffer greatly, being
under the influence of opiates. After
this operation was performed Mrs.
Rooney was found to be oppressed, and
it was considered necessary to wait
sometime before proceeding. The
physicians thought it necessary, if
the patient recovered sufficiently, to
amputate half of her left foot, which
was severely injured by the wheels of
the car.
It appears that when Mrs. Rooney
fell under the car she grabbed hold of
the axle on one of the trucks, and was
dragged fully fifty feet before it was
stopped. Three fingers on her right
hand were also injured, but it was not
considered necessary to amputate
them.
The engineer of the engine, Mr. J.
W. Touchstone, could not possibly
have known of the accident until he
heard the screams of the ladies on the
street, when he immediately made
every effort to stop the locomotive, but
without effect before the car whee's
had passed over the unfortunate wo
man’s leg.
Mrs. Rooney lived with one of her
sons, on Barnes street, in Dublin. She
was very deaf, and, in a manner,- de
mented. It was impossible to keep her
at home, and almost every day she
was out walking. She has two sons
and a daughter, each of whom is mar
ried and living in this city, and also a
son living in Burke county.
At 11 o’clock last night Mrs. Roney
had not recovered sufficiently to war
rant the surgeons in performing any
further operations.
Fowls.
Richard T. Purcell, opposite the
Lower Market, on Broad street, keeps
constantly on hand, in spite of bad
weather, all kinds of poultry, of all
sizes and sexes.
Rumored Suicide.
A rumor prevailed on Broad street
yesterday evening that Mr. Edwin
Platt, of Atlanta, had committed suicide
in that city by taking poison. The
rumor, however, was not substantiated
up to midnight.
Another Attempt.
It appears that a young woman on
Washington street, who, a day or two
since, indicated a desire to enter Eter
nity unbidden, made a second effort to
carry out her intention, yesterday. A
physician was again sent for but did
not find any necessity for action on his
part on his arrival, as the would-be
suicide had not progressed sufficiently
to demand his attention.

The Macon Telegraph announces the
death of the venerable Alfred Moore
Nisbet. He was nearly 78 years of
age. He had been editor of the
Athens Banner, Cashier of the Central
Bank of Macon, and Agent of the
Planters’ Bank of Savannah. One of
his daughters is the wife of the dis
tinguished Prof. Joseph Le Conte.
Capt. Isaac Hardeman, of the old
12th Georgia Regiment, lost his sword,
during the war, by a temporary loss
of personal liberty. A few days ago,
his captor, Lieut. Shirrel, of the 7th
Wisconsin, returned him his weapon,
in first-class order. The Macon Tele
graph has an interesting account of
the transaction, and records it as “ an
other bridge thrown across the bloody
chasm.”
Atlanta has prohibited, by ordinance
of Council, the running of cows at
large. And now comes the editor of
the Edgefield Advertiser, and thus
speaks of another nuisance which
needs abatement:
The goats -Billy Goats and Nannv
Goats, and all sorts of devilish little
goats- -are ruthlessly destroying the
foliage and shrubbery in our village
cemetery. And we are importuned by
the ladies to bring this fact to the at
tention of Gur City Fathers, and im
plore them to have the insufferable
nuisance abated, and the infernal goats
banished from the town. What say
you, Messrs. Intendant and Wardens ?
Will you pass an ordinance banishing
the goats ? You surely should do so,
and that without delay. -
Would not our Mayor and Council
men turn pale if thus importuned by
some of their fellow-citizens of Au
gusta?
We have received from Messrs. Bligh
& Hammond an ingenious contrivance,
which is at once light and strong,
called a “ Portable Cook Stove.” The
lamp is filled with asbestos and there
fore indestructible. Two spoonsfull of
alcohol will make a steady flame last
ing twenty-five minutes.
We can not conceive of a neater and
cheaper device for light cooking, especi
ally in Summer time.
Man’s a fool!
When it’s hot he wants it cool;
When it’s cold he wants it hot—
Never contented with his lot.
When it’s dry
He for showers is heard to sign;
When—to meet his wish—it rains,
Of the wet the fool complains.
Hot or cold, dry or wet,
Nothing suits that he can get;
I consider, as a rule,
Man’s a fool!
[For the Constitutionalist.
Mr. Stephens and the Political Don
Quixotes.
At the present time, there seems to
be a combined and premeditated effort
on the part of certain editors and “ so
called ” statesmen to destroy the influ
ence and good name of the Hon. A. H.
Stephens. If this effort was confined
to attacks on his political record it
might be attributed to patriotism, but
the frequent allusions to him person
ally forbids any such plea of excuse or
justification. What in Gen. Gordon and
other representatives of the South is
truth and loyalty to State rights and
local self-government, in Mr. Stephens
is “ treason, stratagems and spoils.”
It is all right for Gen. Gordon and
other distinguished Georgians to com
mend the people of Louisiana to accept
the Wheeler compromise, it is all wrong
in Mr. Stephens to doubt, and when
convinced, to vote against the military
interference and the legality of theJKel
logg usurpation. This one-sided view
of men and measures cannot be too
severely censured when it is seen in
leaders who were so exceedingly toler
ant and liberal as to advocate the
claims of an open and avowed Aboli
tionist and Republican for the Presi
dency, and refused to turn a deaf ear
to the patronage, place and honors of
a Radical robber who lately wielded the
Executive scepter over the “Empire
State of the South.” We hope Mr. S.
will sunuve the wounds made by such
blunted arrows and live in the affec
tions of his countrymen, consoled by
these lines of Byron ;
He, who would climb the mountain top will
find,
The highest peaks most crown’d with
mist and snow;
He, who surpasses or subdues mankind,
Must look down on the hate of those
below.
The warlike airs assumed, and the
puny attacks made on Mr. Stephens re
mind one of a scene related by that
most veracious of writors, Cervantes.
We have not the book before us, but
as well as we remembei’, the hero, Don
Quixote, who was always on the look
out for adventures, intercepted a guard
who had a caged lion presented by the
Emperor of Morocco to the King of
Spain. The Don, like Macbeth, before
his body threw his gallant shield, un
sheathed his trusty Toledo, and de
manded a fight. The cage was un
barred, the guard ran away frightened,
and even the faithful and valorous
Sancho who had stood by the side of
his master in hundre ls of encounters
with huge giants and windmills, turned
pale and trembled from helmet to spur.
The Knight put himself in warlike posi
tion and rushed furiously to the onset..
Like Fear, in Collins’ Ode on the Pas
sions, the King of the forest at first
“ back recoiled, but knew not why.'” He
then gave one terrific roar ; shook the
straw ana dust from his flowing mane ;
rolled his big yellow eyes ; pushed out
his sharp, ivory-colored claws ; gaped
until his long and savage tusks and
cavernous, black throat wero exposed ;
lolled and twisted his blood-red tongue;
licked the end of his tufted tail; turned
around two or three times and then
quietly bunched down and—went to
sleep ! And this, as Mose said, in the
story of Cousin Sally Dillard, “ she, a
derned fool, pulled up her clothes and
waded the big swamp” was—all I know
of the fight at Captain Rice’s treat!”
And this will be about the end of the
attacks on Mr. Stephens. M.

A CARGO OF TEA generally pas-es
through the hands of five or six par
ties before reaching the consumer, ancC of
course, has to leave profit witli each, thus
i making yery “ dear goods.’ ;
I have a large assortment of TEAS, and
make a “ specialty.” of them in my busi
ness, regarding the quality and price.
They are bought from the IMPORTER,
direct from CHINA and JAPAN, thus get
ting them from first hands, with only
freight and United States Receiver’s com
mission added to cost in China.
I would say to the public they can rely on
the quality of my TEAS, and the price will
be LOW, because there is only ONE instead
of several profits, as is generally the case.
Retailers furnished in chests, at as low
rates as the same quality can be bought in
large cities.
Olio Dollar Will Buy
Two pound i of good Green or Black Tea,
four and a half pounds of good Rio Coffee,
three pounds Gillies’ celebrated Crushod
Coffee, 5 pounds of the best Cream Cheese,

THE EVIDENCE presented in the statements of the respectable and Intelligent plant
will satisfy Southern men that this CONCENI'RA
iii,D CHEMICAL r EUIILI/LR may claim to be equal, if uot superior to any in the
market; that being composed of a base of raw-bone, decomposed with Sulphuric Acid.
a u a combination of Chemicals, it is devoid of the'enormous amount of inert matter
which all Phosphate llock preparations must contain; and that it presents the best
guarantee of a large profitable return, as testified to bv all who have used it. We refer
to our Pamphlets for this evidence, as it is too voluminous for our advertisement. The
preparation is varied in composition to meet the condition of the two great classes of
our soils:
