■ He Wanted a Dose of Salts. The Tfibunc of Rome publishes the following unique letter, written by a negro who is in jail: ‘ you have spoke off the birds. One off the birds hav bin sick and the jail bird that thort that there counlic had a doctor to tend on the countic birds, i hav ask the man that feeds the jail birds to bring hint some saulce an send the doctor to the jail biid and he has not sent the doctor to the jail bird an hav not brought the saulis So i now ask The Tribune of Rome to ask my friends and relation to com outh back of) the jail birds cage and call for Mack Madison be fore lie dye and sec him. l'leas notify the cou- lords Bapts churches off Rome for the leaders off the churches to com and sing and pray with me tell the preach ers off ihes churches to com it may be thair last time to sing and pray with thair brothc in this world. Mack Madison. Wants a Wife. The following communication has been addressed to the Timcs-Union, Jacksonville: “I read my neighbor’s paper occa sionally, and, I frequently sec notices of ladies wanting a home. No, I atn a widower, with a good place; besides I draw a pension for services in the Mexican war of $S per month. I atn in the fifty-second year of life; have no children; live by myself; no one depend upon me for a living; can give good references. If you know amongst your inquirers a woman that would suit such a man, please inform me, that I-may correspond with her for matrimony. The lady must be of irreproachable character, with no small children,about 40 or 50 years of age, dark hair or auburn; would not object to one .35 years old. Yours, etc., * * * P. S.—An old maid would suit best, but don’t object to a widow.” A man who will not subscribe for a paper, and persists in borrowing his neighbor's, docs not deserve a wife. We hope he will not even get a "nib ble,” while fishing for a wife through the columns of a paper which he bor rows. If he does get one, may there be a mother-in-law in the background. Knew the Symptoms. Wife: “Cyrus, I am sure young Spoonamoorc is becotning serious in his attentions to our Susie.” "Husband: “Nonsense! What makes you think so?” "He wears a new necktie every time he comes?” “Do you think Susie cares anything lor him "1 know she docs. She hasn't eaten an oqion this spring.” Long Distance Telephoning. Pittsburg Times. Tjong distance telephoning is so important that its progress is watched with peculiar interest. What has been accomplished warrants great ex pectations. Long distance lines arc itr operation continously from Phila delphia to Boston and from Philadel phia to Buffalo, through New York, with branch service all through New England. In a few weeks lines from Philadelphia to Washington will he completed. Another set of lines is to connect the coal regions of Pennsyl vania with both New York and Phil adelphia. This extension of the tele phone hits cut seriously into business heretofore done exclusively by the telegraph. I11 one sense it is no won der that the telegraph people should seek to stop long telephoning by a resort to law. On the same princi ple, owners of stage lines might seek to stop railroads, or any other new thing try to stop an improvement. The Largest Advertiser of Ancient Times. The Garret (Indiana,) “Clipper” strikes a key-note in the following article : “For the licnelit of those who abhor printer's ink as the prime factor to the advancement of llieir interests we should state that Sampson—the strong party—was the first man to advertise. He took two solid columns to demonstrate his strength and sever al thousand ‘tumbled’ to the scheme. Ho brought down the house. The example set by Sampson might be profitably followed by some of onr merchants. The French deputies havo found Boulanger guilty. Now let them find Boulanger. Thrn h^ Hopped her with emotion, Drew the m:iiilcn to Ilia breast. Whispered vows of true devotion, The old, old talo, -ytm know tho rest. From his circled arms unspringimr, With >1 tear she turned away. And her voice with sorrow ringing, “I shall not floe my bridal day." This dramatic speech broke him up badly; but when she explained that her apprehen sions were founded on the fact of nu inher ited predisposition to consumption in her family, he calmed her fears, bought a bottlo of Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery for her, and she is now the incarnation of health. Consumption fastens its hold upon its victims while they are unconscious of its approach. The “Golden Medical Discovery" has cured thousands of cases of this most fatal of mala dies. Put it must be taken before the disease is too far advanced in order to be effective. If taken in tune, and given a fair trial, it will cure, or money paid for it will bo refunded.
