/ THE StJNNY SOOTH. ATLANTA. GA., SATOBDAY MORNING, OCTOBER L l 88 7. Sune months since Colenel Joseph S. Baugh, An Oglethorpe (Ga.) bachelor, advertised for a wife. Ha was delugei with letters from all parts of the United States. He distributed several of these letters among his bachelor friends. At least three weddings will be the result of this correspondence. *•* "dZ”--- ^ September 17th, at Columbus, Ga., was sig nalized by a somewhat romantic marriage. Tiie bride, Miss Sallie Sammis, came all the way from Ohio to meet the groom, Mr. F. B. Snyder, of Mt. Pleasant, Fla. The ceremony was performed at the Lawrence house at 7:30, by Judge Barber. They had been sweethearts for years, and the bride traveled all the way from Ohio alone. V Mrs. G»uld, a rich widow of California, re cently resolved to disinherit her daughter be cause of her elopement. Soon afterward she learned that the parents of the groom had closed their doirs against the young couple. She became angry at this, declaring that her daughter was as good as any woman on earth, and concluded by forgiving all, presenting the bride and groom with a comfortable share of her home and fortune. **« According to previous announcement the Eastman, Dodge couuty, Ga., Dramatic Society performed the play entitled “Tne Social Glass, or Bob Brittle's Triumph,” before a large and appreciative auiience at the court-house, on tne night of Sept, lD.h. The play was a clever piece of acting and received generous applause. All the actors acquitted themselves in a cred itable manner, e zincing careful study. This scores another success tor Eastman. **• At Hawkinsville, Ga , on the evening of the 20th, Mayor Jones J Joiner gave a party com plimentary to his daughter, Mies Mollie, who left the next day for Staunton, Va., to enter college. It was a very pleasant affair. One of Macon’s society young men was a centre of attraction; be giving some sweet music and good speagmg. and dancing the lamp figure to perfection. He goes by the common name of George A. Smith. Refreshments were served in grand style and the happy hours passed away too quickly for all. The C infederate Gbn< ral, Longst.reet, intro duced Gan. Grant to Miss Julia Dent, who is now Gan. Grant’s widow. L mgatreet’s moth er was a Djut. () j graduating from the Mili tary Academy, Lougstreet was assigned to a command, and whs stationed at Jefferson Bir- racks, below St. Ltuis. While there he visited his relative., the Dents, on the Gravois road, and when Gra it was assigned to the same reg iment with Longstreet. the latter accompanied him on his first v sit to the Dent place, and presented “the little min with the big epau lettes,” as Grant was sometimes called in those days, to hi future wife. The most interesting recent event in society circles at Leesburg, Fia., was the marriage, 8 >pt 16 h, oi Mr. Joel F. McLendoD to Miss Lznie Weaver, Rev. Mr. Bridges officiating 1 je cer< mouy took place in the Methodist Church, whicu was most beautifully and pro fusely decorated with flowers. The church was crowded with the ti lends of the happy couple, and Mr. M. has cause to be ptoud of winning ons of the brighest stars iu Lees burg’s galaxy of beautiful young ladies. We extend congratulations and best wishes for their future happiness *** The Morganton, N. C , ladies, learning that the members or the Young Men's Christian Association were in r.e d or funds to furnish their room, at once went to work to devise a plan by which to aid in raising funds; and as might be expected, the Star says, they were not long about it. A festival was proposed and unanimously carried, ’d’hey gave a festival at tbe town hall on the n g'it of the loib, which was a graud sue it; s. A nice sum was raised everybody enjoyed themselves, and the mem bers of the Association certainly f«el grateful to the ladies for the effort they hava made in coming to their relief; also to the public for the liberal patronage given on this occasion. **• The marriage ceremony of Miss Isabella Mendenhall, of Greenesboro, and Mr. W. II. McNeill, of Fayetteville, was an event of unu sual importance and bril.iancy. The marriage took place at the M. E Church in Warnersville at 9 o’clock, a. m., Wednes day, 14 k, inst, Rev. L. B. Gibson, officiating. Long before the lime appointed for the cere mony, quite a large number of relatives and friends of the contracting parties had assem bled to witness the event. When the bridal party arrived, just before entering the church, the organ, Miss E J. Emerson, presiding, be gan to peal forth in graud and beautiful tones, to the music of which the attendants, tweive in number, with measured step and precision, moved slowly toward the altar, following them came the bride and groom. After the sacred ceremony had been performed, the happy wedded pair remained a few moments in the church to receive the congratulations and best wishes of their many friends, then they re paired to the Cape Fear and Yadkin Valley Railroad station to take the train for Fayette ville, their future home. The night before, there was a very pleasant reception given to the groomsmen and bridesmaids aud relatives at the home of Mr. Aaron Mendenhall, the father of the bride; on which ocoasion was displayed tbe 'or dal presents, the number and costliness of which have rarely been surpassed at any wedding iu Greenesboro—Workman, Green'shoro, N.

Dr. Juliot Monroe Thorpe, daughter of Ohio’s President of tbe W. C. T. U., Mrs. Henrittta L. Monroe, has been elected to the faculty of the Ohio Medical College at Cincinnati. This is a rare compliment to a gifted woman Am ing the most striking works in this year’s exhibition of the Berlin Academy of Fine Aris arc several portraits by a young Hungarian painter, Fraulein Vdma Parlagbi, who estab lished her reputation at the exhibition in Pesth and has since last autumn resided in Berlin. Misses Addie Gordon and Lula Lipscomb left Columbus, Miss., on the 12.h for China as missionaries, under the auspices of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South. They were joined at St Louis by several ocher young ladies who are going out under the auspices of the Woman’s Board of Foreign Missions. An American girl, daughter of Ogden Brad ley, of New York, and niece of Bisnop Neely, of Maine, has won a diploma from the famous Paris school of medicine, passing a brilliant ex amination and receiving the maximum mark. Her thesis was “lodistn” and for an hour and a half she wm shrewdly and ably questioned by four of the leading professors of the school, each of whom had been provided with a copy of the thesis. In the black gown and white nchu prescribed for candidates she reminded le audience of Portia in the trial scene of ‘The Merchant of Venice.” W M p\^ an ?• Sheldon, daughter of Mr. eirls’ sewfo?’ T ecentl r admitted to the bazlr TOrtPv* 8he is P r ' nc 'Ptl, in Ada- Dazar Turi^ey, the first Moslem girl Who entered the l.si for a regular „ •She has nr-i j » ’ ^ or a r ©gular education Miss Sheldon began teaching in the language s'llr being in the country lire months ' translated two American text book* , UH Armenian Adabazar, where she is located one h undred miles east of Constantinople.

Straw hats are giving way to the pretty sew felts. Steel gray mohair or alpaca dreaaes, for fall traveling, are de riguer. Belted corsages are very popular, and are the embodiment of trimness when accurately fitted over the watch spring a la spirite corset Fancy, brilliant-headed hair pins of all kinds from real diamonds to the poorest stones capa ble of emitting even a suggestion of gleam, or nament the coiffure this season. Bronze house shoes and slippers, shown at Ridley’s, are marvels of artistic foot gear. Gold and steel bead embroideries, fancy buckles, bows and laces embellish thess shoes, which, in shape, style and finish are chic to a degree. The very slight draping which characterizes many polonaises and overskirts is far more ef fective if worn over the moderate-sized new Can field-Langtry bustle than the extremely bouffant effect so recently sought after. This is to be a season of millineric splendor. Combinations of color, tinsel, gold, silver, bioche, plush, felt and velvet, black, white and colored laces, feathers and mock jewel orna meats appear in greatest profusion on leading hats and bonnets. Jackets, suits and wraps will be profnsely decorated with gold, silver, steel and copper braids in novel and elaborate patterns. The clumsy corset cover of the past is yield ing place to the new waist invented by Miss Bates, of Boston, and on sale at Mrs. E M Van Brunt’s salon of sanitary specialties, in East Nineteenth st., N. Y., for ladies and chil dren, which is a veritable boon to ladies. Imported French hats show lower crowns and wider brims—the latter, in bonne's, being pointed over the forehead a la Mother Hubbard. Faced cloths will compose many Autumn and Winter costumes. Cheviots shown at Ridley’s have fine lines and cross bars indefinite of coloring exquisite ly blended. Young ladies will wear serges with large blanket plaids, the bodice being plain and the skirt and draperies of plaid. Small-figured Cheviots will be elaborately made up with lapped full surplice bodices and plastrons of velvet. The plain foundation skirts have voluminous draperies. Many long outside wraps will be made of the rough, blanket plaid serges, so popular for utility purposes. The long waisted bodices are still popular for all sons of cos .nines, particularly for tailor gowns, which, to ensure their accurate fit, re quire the taiior-cut and tailor made corset which is such a benefaction to this particular style of garment., aud of which Messrs Foy, Hannon & Chadwick have made such a stu pendous success. Bodices to wear with different skirts are made of wool, over whose surface are raised designs resembling routache braiding, in uncut velvet figures. They are in two tones of one color, or in black on a ground of any preterred color. Old-fashioned braided garments will be cop ied iu cashmeres aud ladies cloths this season. Plain-color serges are largely imported for Autumn and Winter wear. All the new Gobe liu blue purplish navy-blue, dahlias, cigar browns, and other current colors appear in these goods. Full skirts of velvet are worn under cloth polonaise or those of silk and velvet stripes; and often the jiolonaise is of lighter cloth bor dered with velvet. Young ladies, married and single, will wear short cloaks, as they give protection to that part of the body especially requiring warmth, and leave the skYts of handsome dresses un covered. Faille francaise and Bengaline silks combine nicely with plain or striped velvet for carriage or visiting dresses Long cloth cloaks made in full raglan shape, with square sleeves beginning in the side form, or gathered to the yoke or collar in Irish peas ant style, are very suitable for matrous. They have a waistcoat front added for warmth. The chemiiette, man rfactured by Miss Bales, of 4fl Winter street. Bos on, and on sale in New York at Mrs. Van. Brunts’ salon of sanitary spec allies, at 39 East Nineteenth street, is a bouefac.ion beyond price to ladies, particularly those with weak backs. It is made of tbe best quality of muslin or cambric, and combines corset-cover and drawers. There are buttons at tbs waist wheieto skins may be attached; a id a lady does not realize Lo v very uncomfonable she lias been uuder the old sys tem of under-dressing until she practically ver ifies the virtues of the chemilette The favorite fabric for rich wraps is plush, becau e of its thick rich pile so uaiversally be coming. B’ack plush will be preferred be cause brown is considered an imitation of seal skin. A handsome suit shown at Lord & Taylor’s, is of Gobelin blue cl uh and plush, with many tiny tucks done by hand in the cloth part of the costume. A short wrap of the cloth, with adjusted basque-like back, and sling sleeves which cover the sides and almost meet over the plush waistcoat, accompanies this elegant costume. Dresses of the rich “Puritan Ideal” silk, are trimmed with lace and jet passementeries, and are models of elegance. A delicious baby dress is made of white eta- mine over “baby” blue silk. It is cut out round, forming lace blouse, and a Saxon lace flounce goes down each side of the front. The skirt is of Sax in lace, and the entire dress is embellished with “baby” blue ribbons. TheDmble Ve waist fer children of both sexes is in greater demand than ever; it does away with all construction or pressure upon any part of the chil fish system, and embodies the thoughtful provision against juvenile dis comfort made by Messrs Foy, Harmon & Chadwick. A dainty gown for a little seven year old girl, made at B-st & Co’s Lilliputian Bazaar in 23ril street, is of pale blue veiling with yoke of embroidery. The full-pleated skirt is shirred at the bottom of a corsage, the top of which is also shirred. A bonnet of white faille, trimmed with a tuft of white feathers and white ribbons is exquis itely becoming to a pretty baby face. Many dressy frocks for very little girls are again made with low neck and short sleeves; but this is a p: rn cious fa hion to revive! Childrens’ Autumn toilets for country wear are very gay and in appearance suited to the season of gorgeous tints and tones. Little petticoats of Jersey webbing will be worn by children whose sensible mammas study their well-being. Many j mnty little hats shown are of fine felt in all the new colors—grays, Gobelin blues, tapestry greens and nut browas, in finely grad ed shades. Among the revived msdiatvil styles of dress for children, we find many picturesque and comfortable reproductions of those worn by little people during the sixteenth and seven teenth centuries. Sallib J. Battit. Saddajs at Sugar Hill. Beautiful Tribute to Women. We have seen many beautiful tributes to lovely women, but the following is one of the finest wa ever read: Place her among tbe flowers, foster her as a tender plant, and she is a thing of fancy, way wardness and folly—annoyed by a dew-drop, fretted by the touch of a butterfly’s wing, ready to faint at the sound of a beetle or the rattling of a window-sash at night, and is over- oowered by the perfume of a rosebud. But et real calamity come, rouse her affections, enkindle the fires of her heart and mark her then—bow strong is her heart! Place her in the heat of battle—give her a child, a bird, or anything to protect—and see her in a relative instance, lifting her white arm as a shield, as her own blood crimsons her u: turned fore head, praying for her life to protect the help less. Transplant her in the dark places of the earth, call forth her energies to action, and her breath becomes a healing, her presence a bles- ing She disputes inch by inch, the strides of _, stalking pestilence, when man. the strong and brave, pale and affrighted, shii iks away. Misfortune hurts her not; she wears away a life in silent endurance and goes ferth with lass timidity than to htr bridal. In prosperity she is a bad full of odor waiting for the winds of adversity to scatter thim abroad—gold, val uable, but untried in the furnace. In short, a woman is a miracle, a mystery, the center from which radiates the charm of existence. How Uncle Edom Paid His Debts, Near the upper end of Lamed street, where it begins to lay aside its city airs and take on plain country ways under the name of the Per ryville road, there has stood for years a little wooden store where snuff and tobacco, 6ugar, molasses, Rio coffee and other town luxuries are given in exchange for country produce. Tenk Riley, the proprietor, being a thrifty man and a strict adherent of the apostle’s injunc tion against asking unnecessary questions, never indulged in impertinent curiosity as to the antecedents of the various articles brought him for barter; and as he would take anything in trade, from a stalk of sugar cane to a wagon load of seed cotton, bis shop naturally became a favorite resort, not only with tbe country darkeys from the farms along the Perryville road, but with the colored gentry of Lirned street as well. It was here that Uncle Edom was accus tomed to dispose of sundry odds and ends in the way of frying chickens, bags of ground- peas, baskets of eggs, fruits, vegetables, etc., theoretically supposed to have come to him in the shape of pious contributions from the faith ful of Kingdom Come church, but strongly sus pected, by certain evil disposed white persons who owned property in the neighborhood of having been levied, in the first instance, upon their own orchards and hen-roosts. In proof of this it was maliciously asserted that a mys terious coincidence had been observed to exist oetween Uncle Edom’s commercial transac tions with Tenk R ley and the occurrence of certain nocturnal depredations upon the neigh boring farm yards and melon patches. Be this as it may, however, it is not our purpose, any more than Tenk Riley’s, to engage in idle spec ulations on irrelevant matters; all that we are concerned to know being the fact that Uncle E loin had become ono of Tenk’s most frequent customers, aud, though it was against the es tablished usage of the latter ever to give credit, had gradually been permitted to run up a little account until, one fine morning, he was found to be some three dollars and sixty-five cents in arrears. Tots was a big amount for Tenk Ri ley’s books to carrv, aud accordingly the next Saturday, when Uacle Edom went' to lay in his week’s supply of lobacco and a bottle of snuff for D.lsy, fie was informed that—being already “oetter’u three dollar behiudaand”— he couid “git r.o fu’ther ’commodation till be had made up the debt ” Uncle Edom scratched his head pensively. “Well boss,’’ he answered, after a little pause, “I was a aimin’ to fetch you a bucket er blue plums dis ve’y evenin’. I knows whar dar’s a lot er mighty nice ones grows about six mile out iu de country, an’ it’s jes’ aoout time fur’m to be ripenin’ now, but when I went to saddle de mar to ri ie out alter ’em, I foun’ her back was all done sbun so tell she couldn’t abide fur de blanket to tetch it, much less’n de saddle, an’ I couldn't walk atter ’em, you know, ’caza it mought a hurt dat so’e leg er mine whar de bee stung me las’ June. I ’lowed I’d a cret mine to walk’anyhow, but Dilsy, she sell I’d be a plum fool to go a traipsin’ six mile atter dem plums, wid de risk er mekin’ dat so'e leg er mine rise agin, an’ you know boss, when a man’s wife air agin anything, he better not be too keen atter doin’ uf it." “Ain’t you got no chick’ns ner aigs at home, what you could bring?’’ asked the storekeeper, intent upon getting back the value of his wares plus the modest three or four hundred per cent he was in the habit of charging his negro customers. Uncle Edom 110k a mantal survey of all the neighboring p mltry yards before replying. He had his own reasons for presuming there were at present no available supplies in Judge Gar land’s, while the solitary old rooster that crowed so dismally over at Col. Everett’s since last Saturday night, was too tough and skinny to ba palmed off for a spring chicken, even on Tenk Riley’s emtomers. In short, there was a colored campmeetiDg in progress at Huckle berry Creek, ju3t half way between Sugar Hill and Perryville, and so there was not even an old setting hen to be found from one end of the road to the other. ‘‘Chick’ns an’ aigs is bofe mighty sca’ce jes’ now,” said the old man as he slowly reviewed the situation. “Dilsy’s hins is all gone to settin’, an’ de chick’ns, atter dey's done hatched, woan be filten t’ eat un’er three ment’s an’ mo’, but I tell you what I kin do; I knows whar dar’s some mighty nice hoss ap pies, an’ I’ll fetch you a bushel uf ’em on Mond’y.” “Well, you fetch ’em along,” answered Tenk with the air of one who felt that he was making a most generous proposition, "an’ ef they’s rale fust rats, I’ll credit you seventy-five cents fur’m on yo’ ’count.” This was not at all what uncle Edom had counted or; he was after supplying present needs, not paying for past indulgeDcies, and to spend his earrings in the profitless task of settling up old scores, was a waste of time and labor that he had no idea of making. He shuffled about from one foot to the other, turned his quid over in his mouth two or three times, squirted a s’ream of black ju:c9 at the shuck mat before the door, and prooetded to amend his proposal as folio we: “I seh, boss, I—11’se sorter ’feerd dem ap ples mought not be ripe good by Mond’y; I—I spec’ I better wait tell Chuesd’y; dey’il be better den.” “All right,” drawled Tenk, turning to meas ure a pirn of molasses for a female customer who bad just come in, “bring ’em er Chuesd’y, then.” Uncle Edom waited till the customer was served, sent a gob of spit after her as she dis appeared through the doorway, then turned again to Tenk: “I—I—I reckon I’ll hatter wait tel! Wedncs d’y, boss,” tumbling at his wool hat with both hands, “ ’eazi my son Eph’um’s ve’y sick over yonder at de Perryville brick yard whar he’s ben a workin’, an’ I mus’ go over Chuesd’y to see how he’s git.in’ along, so I’ll hatter put off seein’ ’bout dem apples tell Wednesd’y." “We.l, shut up your confounded chatter, an’ bring ’em er Wodnesd’y,” answered Tenk, beginning to lose patience. Uncle Edom shuffled towards the door, but before reaching it, stopped and began again : “Boss, I—I—I—I spec' I’ll hatter put off fetchin’ dem apples tell Thursd’y, ’case my son Eph'um mought die er Wednesd’y, an’ I’d be er bleeged to stay an’ Bee atter de burial, so you see I spec’ I’ll hatter wait tell Thurs d’y.” “Yer better put it off tell judgement day at onst, and be done with it,” growled Tenk with grim sarcasm. “No, boss, not tell de judgement," with a very dry grin <t Teak’s joke, but now I come to think on’t, I ’spec’ I will hatter git you to wait on me tell Frid’y, caze ef Eph’ urn do die, Dilsy wouldn’t wanter miss de fun’l, an’ hit ’ud tek a whole day to git her thar an’ back, so—” “Go take yo’ apples to the d—II” roared Tenk savagely, from behind the counter, “an’ git yo’ carcass outer this heer sto’ quick, or I’ll came an’ move it fur you.” Uncle Edom shuffled off again, got clear out into the street this lime, and then putting his head cautiously back into the door, called out: “I seh, boss, I reckon I'd hatter ax you to wait tell Sadday fur dem apples, ’caze de mar 'ud be too tired atter de fun’l fur me to ride her dat fur, bein’ as her back’s skun so bad anyway, an’ ” “If you says apples to me agin,” roared Tenk, coming forward with a cheese-knife in one hand and an axe helve in the other, “I’ll cram down ys’ throat aa’ send yo* snaggle teeth after ’em, yon thievin ole se inndrel yout Them apples wonld spilt while yoa stand thare gabblin’ aboat ’em.” “Dat’e so, boss; yes, dat’s so,” assented Uncle Sdom, blandly, retreating a step or two lurther into the stree ; “dey mought all be spilte fho’ ’nough, ef we waits teil Sudday, an’ so I reekon’t won’t be wuth whi'e to fetch ’em atail, as >on wouldn’t keer fur rotten truck." He didn’t wait to bear Tenk Riley’s answer, and it is needless to say that a’ter this he found it convenient to do his trading at an other store. The Sweet Bard of Avon. Shakspeare Contributed 7,000 Hew Words to the Language- [Chicago Tribune.] Every number of the “New English Diction ary” will be to Shakspeareans worth the cost of the whole work. It will throw a thousand side-ligffts on Shakspeare’s language which they have always longed for but could never hope to behold. How much of our vocabulary and its significance can be traced back no fur ther than the great dramatist, will ba revealed so clearly that he who runneth may read. Something of this disclosure may be seen in aoy fraction of the stupendous work. Turn ing over the first 200 pages of the first number, it will be ascertained that 146 words are first found in Shakspeare, either altogether or in some of their meetings. At this rate our total indebtedness cannot be less than for 7,000 Seakspearean words or meanings. Rome owed only one word to Julius Caesar. Tin- nature o! bur debt will be more apparent if wt examine some of these hundred and a half ol Shakspearean words, all so near the beginning of the alphabet that the last of them is “air.” We owe the poet the first use of the word “air,” itself in one of its senses as a noun, and in three as a verb or participle. He first said “air-drawn” and “air less.” He added a new signification to “airy” and “aerial." Nobody before him had written “aired,” and mon than a ti he of the verbal gifts now in view were such perfect participles. Well nigh ss many were adverbs. In no previous writei have Dr. Murray’s Argus eyes detected “acci dentally,’ now any of the following: “Ab jectly,” “acutely," “admiringly,” “adopt- edly,” “adversely.” How our fathers could exist so long without some of these vocables must move our sp -cial wonder. To “abso lutely," “according,” "actively,” and * affec ionately” Shakspeare added a ner sense. Ii is not a little surprising that the woro ‘abreast” was never printed before the cou p!et. My si u! sha’.l thin * tc»ei> companv ro Re iven; Tarry, sweet so fur mine, men fl/ abreast. Of the 146 wo) Vand meanings first given us by Shakspeare, ?Tlea»t two-thirds are of clas sical origin. Baconians will say that such a gift cou'd not by any possibility come from a man of “small Llt n and less Greek.” Others will enlarge their ideas of what Ben Johnson meant by “small.” The straneest thing seems to be that so few of Shakspeare’s Innovations— not so much as one fifth—have become obso let”. lie gave them not only iife, but immor tality. It is perhaps equally noteworthy that while he wts never read so much as to-day, no writer before bim (and scarcely one of his con temporaries), cited as authors of words and sen-er, is now read at all, save by special stu dents. The question “Where did Shakspeare get his novelties in language?”—who can answer? His “accoutred" was in print ten years before any other writer gives us any of this verb, which it is agreed come from Latin through French. The noun “accoutrement” was ear lier, but only in rare books. In one instance Shakspeare is erroneously said to show the earliest specimen of a certain meaning. “Act,” as one of the main divisions in a dramatic work, is credited to Shakspeare in 1613 But this word is in the epilogue of “Henry VIII.,’’ which, downward from Dr. Johnson, has not been regarded as Shakspeaie’s work in any line of it. In no one of the Slaksp-arean dramas as published in the author's lifetime is there any division into “acts” at all. Tbe quarto of the “Merry Wives,’’ published three years after the author’s death, shows no act or scenes. In the first folio, published seven years after his death, the modern separation into parts oc curs. It is indicated, however, only by Latin words, as actus jpriii.us, secundus, etc. Oar indisputable SnakTpiarean debts are loo great to ueeo anv doubtful additions. In one case, however, Dr Mqrray fails to render to Shak speare his due. Regarding Adonis in Greek mythology, his first citation dates from 1765. He forgot ibis line in “Hemy VI ”: “Thy promises are like Adonis’ gardens," as well as “Felchthee straight Adonis,” in “Tanning of the SbrevV.” THE CHILL MASTER. Chills and Fevers Completely Conquered. A Perfect and Absolute Cure for the Worst Cases of Chills; Also a Fine Remedy for Sorethroat, Head ache, Heuralgia, Malarial Ferer and General Debility. Russia Misrepresented. The following reliable, if not authoritat ve, st • telient as to matters in Russia, is c omplete ly at variance with the accounts generally promulgated, and a:c;pted by the public. Iu an interiiew had by a Paris representative of the New York World, with Mr. G. V. N. Lothrop, United S ates Minister to Russia, that gentleman said that, ‘'’commercially he found St. Petersburg much advanced,” and that “the middle and higher classes are weil educated.” “As far as he could see,” he continued, “there was less Nihilism iu St. Petersburg than in Chicago. The peasantry in Russia, and the working classes be found devoted to theCzir. The Nihilists, aa far as he couid observe, are drawn largely from- the student element They are a class dissatisfied with the present State Government and desire a new one, which ean only be effected by the murder of the Czar as head of the Govern ment. Constitutional!v, he found Russia backward. The maj nicy have no desire for a change and are satisfied with despotism. The storits of ex.ra precautions taken by the Czar to avoid assassination, Mr. Lothrop said, were absurd and concocted in London The Czar rides out every evening, unattended, except by a single equerry. He drives in a plain victoria and is received everywhere with expressions of great loyalty. A few police here and there may be found, although fre quently there are none. The Czar and Czar ina do not seem in the least disturbed for their safety. Mr. Lothrop bad frcquent occa sion to see the Cz ir and had several audiences with him.” Twelve months of severe suffering from chills and fevers left me, as I supposed, a hopeless invalid. The best physicians and every known remedy brought me no relief and I decided to try an invention of my own, and to my great astonishment it effected a com plete and permanent cure. I then determined to send the remedy abroad for suffering hu manity, and wherever it has gone it has pro duced marvellous results and brought back countless expressions of gratitude from multi tudes who have been soundly healed by its magic touch. In Cincinnati I refused several times to take f5,000 for the patent, and have since refused various liberal offers for it. It is indeed a thorough Master of Chills, and will destroy them completely in the worst malarial sections where no other known rem edy will produce any effect upon them. It has been found also to be a fine tonic for general debility and delicate constitutions. It will strengthen and build them up permanently. It is a fine appetizer, excellent remedy lor neuralgia, sorethroat, remittent and intermit tent fevers, and has been recommended for dyspepsia. Try it and be healed, and then tell it to your suffering neighbor. If your druggist does not have it on hand, cell him to order it for you from the under signed. Mrs. J. D. Boxlet. Occoquan, Va.

Another night since, at the same place, a sicmd attempt was made to wreck the passenger train where it curves. The engineer dia not see the obstruc tion until within forty yards oi it, and could not stop the train i:i time. The front wheels of the engine struck the piece of iro« with con siderable force. The engine was badly shaken up, but remained on the track If a third at tempt is made the would-be train wreckers will p ebably be caught. Gen. A. W.

I say this on theoretic grounds and am satisfied that a practical test of this mouth wash in my own practice has more than justi fied my expectations. I therefore reccommend it for general use and would be glad to know that every man and woman in the country would try it for themselves, believing that it will result in great good to those who use it as directed.
