First, It should be rcmemberea by those who codu mplate trying it. That the chloride of gold or the vhlo ride and sodium is a violent corrosive jK.ison, resembling very much in its ef ftcis the bi-chloride of mercury or corro ive sublimate, producing death in over doses, iu very much the same #av and manner as this powerful druV Most authorities agree that it iB uusate in larsrer doses than the 1-10 ol a grain repeated three limes daily, 1-30 to1-15 ofa gram being the customary dose, it further, like the preparations of mercury, is liable to, and will, uuiess used cautiously, produce or cause sali vation, and its prolonged admini&tra tion brings on a form of level,known as auric or gold fever. So it may be Ren from tbe outset, that it is a dau- serous drug to “tamper” with, and one that should be used only under the direction of a physician who under stands his business. Notwithstaudiug the fact that, in medicinal doses, it increases or augments all tbe se cretions of the gastro-intestiual tiact— notably that ol the liver in creasing the flow of hi in which is na ture’s carthartic, unlit- drugs of like cbaructei, constipation -> usually one ol tbe n suits oi its administration, showing again that only thoseacquain- hd with its physiological effects should administer it. It is questionable in deed, whether tbe drug should ever be administered alone, as satisfactory re sults can only be obtained, or expected b\ a thoiough knowledge of its physio logical t diets, and a . proper combina tion with it or following it soon, by proper eliminative and cathartic reme- dies It si our drug proves worse than useless and like a boomerang, come buck and strike us to our heart, litnce even doctor Hammond, who has not given tbe drug a fair trial, tups in a recent article on the subject: That it is ol no value in the treatment ol dipsomanihcs as Dr. Keeley claims, notw upstanding the sworn statement of men and women of unquestionable veracity, wbo state under oath that they have been cured with this remedy, in the hands of Dr. Keeley. Now Mr. Editor, for tbe benefit of your many readers 1 desire to state, that 1 am in no way, either directly or remotely connected with Dr. Keeley or his insti tution, and 1 have no other aim or ob ject in writing this article than a sincere desire to arrive at the truth,so that any ot your readeis who pet chance may be a victim or who may have some near and dear one addicted to tbe curse of drunkenness or its twin brother, opium, may know whether there be iddeda “Balm in Oilead or a physician there.” In a luture article, should you desire it, Mr, Editor, 1 will give your readers some experience 1 have had, and some exper iments that 1 have made myaelf with the new (so-called) remedy, as I think “all the light possible” should be brought to bear on this subject, as so many of our fellow creatures are daily tailing within the clutches of these monsters (whisky and opium) and held with “chains of brass, and hooks of steel.” Very truly yours, K.

What the Outside World Thinks of Athens* Institution. Says the Washington Chronicle: The Athens papers report that one month s working of the dispensary which they have establi«hed shows a S rofit of a little ov- r $1500. As we un- qrstand ir, the object of the dispensa ry in Athens is by no means to make | Th® Chilian Minister Inclined to be profit for the city, but to diminish the profits from the sale cf liquor by stop ping so far as possible all the drinking to which men are tempted by the in- citemens of other men. It is believed that a considerable part of the drink ing is indeed by tbe temptation ot those who make money out of selling liquor. One means of temptation is an attract ive saloon. The sum of $1500 seems a considerable S rofit for one month, but it may be a iminntion of the liquor business in Athens. It is probable that it is so. It may he however that the pority of the liquor sold in Athens will trade from the outside, and thus the diminution of drinking in Athens might not show or show in part. The diminution in the amount of li quor drank is one testot tbe efficacy of a dispensary. There irfiowever another It ought to some considerable extent to New Yoke, Nov. 11.—The Herald's Bamiago correspondent hat telegraphed an Interview had by him with Senor Matta Childau, the minister of foreign affaira, whose reply to the demand of the United Statee for satisfaction on ac count of the Baltimore outrage created [ ao mnch dissension. The Chilian minister expressed tbe opinion that the United States repre sentatives there seemed to think they stop the making young men drunkards, could, in every way dictate to Chili as which is one of tbe great complaints . ,’ ” ' * 7 ’ 10 UflU1 “ I to what she shonld and should not do against saloons. Tbe working of the dispensary will, it is .ikely be both misrepresented and misnnderstood. It will be misrepresen ted by those who want to be making the money themselves. It will be misunder stood by those who think more can be an cnmplished by law and who will call it a failure because it does not accomplish what it does not undertake viz: the redemption of all drunkards by law. We hope the experiment will/' have fair trial. The principles of it is to keep temptation from being offered to men wbo have not learned to love drink or who wonld atop drinking bat for temptation. The principle is capable of somewhat greater extension, and if successful, will doubtless be extended There are some eases of giving away liquor which it would be perfectly practicable to make a misdemeanor. If a town or county desired to in crease the UBe of iiquor in order to make profit ft would he infamous. But if that $1500 is the profit which would be made whether there were a dispen sary or nor, there is no discredit in hav ing the town get ’be money. under various conditions. This stand on the part of the United Statee representatives, he added, was untenable. He denied the stories so persistently spread, that Chili was unfriendly to Hie United Statee. Senor Matta said: Chilian authorities would, upon the completion of the judicial inquiry into the attack upon the Baltimore’s men, act speedily and fairly in arriving at a conclusion 'The Herald’s correspondent says that throughout his conversation with the Chilian minister, the latter spoke in a hitter vein, showing that he felt keenly the attitude of the United States, and was annoyed that so great a nation •honl be brought to the Junta’s atten tion.

Heard’s Death Yester day Morning. After a lingering illness, in which he bore his affliction * im the bravest Christian fortitude and patience, Mr. George Erskine Heard passed away yesterday morning at four o'clock at his home in this city. For quite a while he bad been in de clining health and to the loved ones who watched around his bedside, the passage from tbe scenes of the terres trial to tbe glories of the* celestial was not entirely unexpected. Mr. Heard was a native of Elbert county, and for many years had been a citizen of Athens. He was in his fifty- fifth year. As a young man, he entered the ser vice of the Confederacy and was a brave and gallant soldier. Mr- Heard was one of our most prom inent citizens. During the last legisla tive campaign, he was for a while a candidate, and at the time of his death was secretary of the county Alliance. He leaves a wife and several children to mourn bis death. Mr. Heard’s remains were carried yesterday afternoon* to Elberton and will be interred there this morning To the bereaved relatives and mourn, ing friends, the sympathies of all are extended. uiff MOVING ALONG 8MOOTHLY With all Differences Amicably Adjusted. A few dsys since jp application was filed in the U. 8. Circuit Court at At lanta for a receiver to be appointed for the Athens Street Railway Company ThiB petition was field by a Philadelphia company who held an iccouut against the Railroad Company. This application was simply a move ment to enforce a settlement. Th railway company on the other hand claimed damages on acccont of delay, faulty work, etc , and on these grounds refused to settle the fall amount claimed by tbe Philadelphia company. Terms of agreement were reached and the whole matter is settled. The Athens Street Railway Company is as solvent as any corporation in Ath cos and is doing a thriving and pros perous business. SUKl'RlsLMi iRoiiMO-NY. SHOT TO DEATH. THE NEW MERCANTILE AGENCY. Father, Mother and Son Brutally As sassinated. Wilkesbap.re, Pa., Nor. 11.—A hor rible story comes from Rowersville, Pike county. Simon Field, a young desperado, having plunder in view, went to the residence of David David, a well-to-do citizen, and standing in the middle of the road ealled to the inmates of the residence to come out. They did As they appeared at the door he shot them down. David David, the father, was first to appear. Ho had both eyes shet ont and will die. Mrs. David was shot in the throat and head.

The arsenic was used by the family, who were amateur taxidermists, and was placed in biscuits in mistake for baking powder. Shot Tbreo Neighbor Boys. Bonham. Tex., Nov. 11.—John Bas- han, who lives three miles north of here, saw a large flock of wild geese light in a field. Having no shot he cat a lot of elugs from a bar of lead and poured a handful of powder in his gun, tnd then a handful of sings. Then he proceeded to crawl to where he had seen the geese alight. Rising, he saw something moving which, he says, he thought was a big black gander, and J blazed away. The gander dropped, as Id two of ite companions. But when ohn reached the spot he was horrified to find that he had shot three neighbor hoys, John Van Sickle and his little brother, and Jeff Stevenson. The Van Sickle boys are seriously but not fatally hurt. Oue, perhaps, will lose a legv Stevenson was struck in the side with a sing, bat was only slightly Imrt. Its Alms, Objects, and the Results Ac complished. The New Mercantile Agency, lately established in Athens,might be describ ed as a Merchant’s League, as tbe fol lowing objects they have in view will prove. They have hit upon & plan which, when set in motion on au individual who has for a time persistently refu-ed “to settle” or give any satisfaction, convences said individual that the soon er he “antis” up it will be best for his own interests. Every merchant in Athens knows too well, that a considerable amount of his capital is locked up from one season to another in certain hands; and that just when he could use his money to good purpose, or is in argent need of it to pay off his obligations, he cannot get it. The Athens mercha ts have resolved that this condition of affairs cannot be tolerated any longer. Most of them have only a limited capital, and the banks are getting so they will not make any ad vances ; thus compelling the merchants to make better use of the money they have in their respective business. Some of our citizens may be put to a little inconvenience to find money at once to pay up their indebtedness; but We trust they will not feel sore over it, as our merchants for years have been suffering mnoh inconvenience from their tardiness and even denying their families many comforts because their money was in the hands of other people. In about one month some $3,000 of bad debts have been recovered, some accounts as old as eight and ten years have been gotten. This movement although it will be disliked by some is bound to. produce mnoh good in our midst. It will pro tect our merchants and create a healthy spirit of thrift and economy. Tom Nickerson is secretary of this organization and the few remaining merchants who have not beoome mem bers are invited to inquire from him for further imformatiou. MANUFACTURERS «5fc CO.

London, Nov. 11.—A dlapatoh just received here from Pernambuco brings alarming intelligence regarding the situation of affairs in Brazil, whtoh is rapidly approaching ths point where re sort to sruu will be necessary to estab lish the position of Fonseca os dictator. Bo strong has the opposition to Foaseoa grown that it is announced that the important province of Rio Grande de 8ue has declared its independence. The dispatch just received shows that steps will have to be immediately taken to prevent, if possible, the disintegration of the republic. The province of Para has followed the example set by Rio Grande de Sne, and has declared ite independence. Para is one of the most important provinces of Brazil. It is situated in the extreme north of the country. It contains 419,407 square miles, and its population is esti mated at 843,511, 10,000 of whom are supposed to be Indians. The capital of tbe provinoe is Para, the great rubber port of tbe world. It exports in addi tion to other products of the province, which consists of cotton, vanilla, an- natto, dry woods, honey, wax and a great variety of other vegetable and animal products. Trade Is mostly with Liverpool, London, Barbados*, Cayenne and North American ports. Fonseca is moving rapidly to suppress these attempts to set up separate gov ernments, and be h»s ordered a war ship to proceed without delay to Bio Grande m Sne to take snoh action as may be necessary to prevent the pro vincial anthoMiies from carrying their declaration of independence into effect It behooves him to move with alacrity, for alreadv the man has been named in connection with the contem plated presidency of the pro vinos. He is Stlverio Martinez, who, daring the revolution, was banished from tka country. He was subsequently allowed to return, and he, without doubt, pos sesses greater political influence than any other man in the province. The situation, as may be judged from events which are rapidly crowding upon eaoh other, is daily becoming more grave, and what the result of the wide spread discontent in Brazil will be, can only be a matter of conjecture. Fonseca might perhaps do more to establish a new order of things were he not a siok man. Some reports have it that ths disease from which he is snffering is cancer; that he will take vigorous measures to suppress these latest revolts against his authority is not donbted by those who are acquainted with the per sonal characteristics of the man. He, in no ways, lacks determination. 8HOOKED BY ELECTRICITY. A Current From Are Light Wires Ploys Peculiar Pranks. Shelbyvtlle, Ind., Nov. 11.—Tbe business portion, of tbe city was thrown into a fever of exoitement about 5 o’clock in the evening by the yells of a man at the entrance of the Hotel Ray. Soon hundreds of people were on the spot. Chas. Hoffman, a merchant, was ths first to the scene and finding Will iam London lying prostrate on the stone front, gasping for breath, took hold of him to raise him to his feet. Huffman, however, was thrown upon his back in tbe middle of the sidewalk. A heavy rain was falling and it was soon dis covered that all the business building on the public square were heavily charged with electricity from arc light wires. Louden had taken hold of an iron post on the veranda of the hotel and received a terrific shook. Fortu nately he fell on a step and this caused him to roll away from the post, thus saving his life. Tbe electric current was shut off until the rain ceased. Many persons were slightly ahooked by stepping on tbe gratings at the entrance of buildings and in water on the side-* walkB.
