I have tried a number of physicians, out without receiving any perma nent benefit. Among the number were one or two specialists. The medicine tney applied was like fire to tlw sore, causing intense i>ain. I saw a statement in the papers telling what tv S. S. had (lone Tor others similarly afflicted. I procured some at once.

I bed a severe j-ain in my breast. After taking six bottles of S. S. S. my cough left me and I grew stouter ban I had been for several years.

The Albany News says : The Florence Elmore Company, which played * Ingomar” and “Ltdy Audley’s Secret” in this city a few weeks ago, went to pieces at Uuioutowu, Ala., last week.

Pledger, the Atlanta political hustler, it was reported was after a posi tion on the police force. He denied the rumor, and says : “I would not have a policeman’s place. I have held many high positions. Do you think that after holding them I would descend to the level of a police man’s place? I had rather steal chickens and sell them at ten cents apiece than to be chief of police of Atlanta.” Two Athens niueteen year old college kids got their backs up last week aud craved for pistols and coffee for two.

The death was the result not of specific dis ease but a wearing out of the machinery of life. Joshua Knowles was born in East Hampton, Mass., August 11, 1811. His life was prolonged beyond the al lotted period. He was a minister fifty three years. He served the church here fifteen years with great acceptability to the people, proaching with deeper earn estness as he neared the end of his journey. He was the nestor of the Georgia press, an editor fifty years. He did editorial work in Milledgevilie, Ma con, Rome, Greensboro, Ga., and Tal lahassa.

Nashville World] Ou the 11th inst. we left Huntington Tenn.,for the south western portion of this conunty for a few days’ bird and squirrel hunt. While following a rocky branch, known as the Gin branch, wo came to where it skirted the margin of a high hill. Our setter Charley made a dash at a rab bit, and both rabbit and Charley disap peared in the hill. The entrance was what we supposed to be a crevice in the rocks; in a moment the bats came pouring j out by the hundreds. The weather being chilly they fell to the ground in a stupor as soon as the air struck them. Their slumbers had been disturbed by the dog. We were enjoying the fun when, to our astonishment several large horn owls came flopping out—one gave a dismal hoot as though he had not seen daylight for years, or wished to frighten us away. Becoming uneasy for fear our dog could not return, Mr. Lee went to the entrance of the cave. Taking a pole and probing some six feat, he found it made an abrupt angle to the right; the opening was barely sufficient for a common sized man to en ter; be groped his way until it became so dark that he returned and said that it opened out into what he believed to be a large hall, and that he could hear Charley running around and whining, as thougli he was lost and could not find his way out. We sent to a neighboring house and procured a lantern, aud determined to rescue Charley at all hazards. With lan tern in hand we both entered, compelled to crawl on hands and knees for some distance before we could walk erect; the entrance turned tint to the right, then to the left, in a zigzag form. Finally we met Charley, and his bark, as it echoed and reechoed, astonished us to such an extent that we raised our lantern over our liCads, which threw a bright light around. We were in a large room, ceiled on all sides and overhead with rude clapboards. Before us sat a large table with a mutil ated pack of cards in the centre; heavy j wooden chairs around the table; a couple of large and rough shop-made Knives on one corner. As soon as we could collect our senses and calm our staggered brain, we found we were in a secret cave that had once been occupied by a band of out laws, but who, or when, was the question. In surveying the room, which was 18x18, we found in one corner a black something. Hold the light close, our blood was chilled. It was a large black mr.n.his skin and flesh as dry as those who, in ancient and tys, were given passage over Sharon. A large and rough-made chain was locked around his ankle and fastened to a staple in the floor. In the opposite corner lay the dried frames of two huge b'oodliounds; in an old heavy wooden box was found two old-fashioned hors a pistols with flint locks; they had evidently done service in the Revolution; there were also several pairs of handcuffs. We began to think we were in the region of the damned. When looking on the rough walls there we saw* “the handwriting.” It tvas “John Af Murrell, 1828.” We were in that great outlaw’s den; we could then see that the man chained had been stolen by the old bandit —brought there aud chained until they could run him south and sell him. The presumption is that when the cave was deserted he was alive; the doom was sure, but what agony he underwent— chained and alone—his face, like Milton’s devil, “grinned horribly a ghastly smile. The bloodhounds had been kept for the purpose of recapturing any slave that might escape. As we were about making our exit our companion Lee called our attention to another object. We turned around and he was pale and the lantern trembling in his hand; he pointed under the table, and there lay the form and dried frame of another human being. Ex amining close it proved to be that of a female. She, too, was chained. She had died a horrible death —starved to death. Her long, yellow hair still clung to the dry skin ou her head, her lips were parted so as to disclose a set of pearly teeth. How came she in a robber’s den? She could not have been a victim of Cupid’s dart. If so, why chain her? She had been kid napped and held for ransom. John A. Murrell was born in Morgan county, Tenn. When a boy lie was con sidered a spry and promising lad. After a few love scrapes he became reckless, and wandered out into the mountains of North Carolina and Tennessee, preaching, horse stealing, bagging negroes, throat cutting, and blacksmithing. He seived a long time in the penitentiary and preached to the convicts. John’s voice could al ways be heard in prayer at a big camp meeting, and the deacons and elders often liSid to walk home. The little house in which he died is still standing in Pike ville, Bledsoe county, Tenn. On his deathbed he wanted to make a deadout confession,but was gagged and comforted by friends, who exclaimed : “Great God, John,don’t give us all away.” POLYGAMY DOOMED. The impression is growing in Utah that the Edmunds-Tucker law will accomplish the purpose for which it is intended. It may have to be amended in some particu lars, but if congress is satisfied that, if' properly administered, it will put an end to polygamy, there will be no difficulty: in securing whatever amendments may be deemed necessary. The Mormon leaders are, of course, in an ugly temper. Until the Edmunds- Tucker bill became a law they hoped to defeat it. They fought it at every step of its progress, and tried to have the Presi dent to veto it. The President, however, isn’t vetoing bills of that kind, and the arguments of the Mormon agents against the bill did not influence him in the least. Troublous times may be looked for iu Utah. The Mormons declare that they will resist the enforementof the new law, and it would not be surprising if there were conflicts between them and the Federal authorities. The leaders, how ever, wi'l soon be forced to recognize that the power of the government is too great to be successfully resisted, and that they will have to abandon polygamy or seek a country where it can be practiced with out any interference from the constituted authorities. The fight againt polygamy has been going on for a long time, and the people of the whole country, with the exception of the Mormons, will rejoice if the Ed munds Tucker law is found to be a gen uine remedy for the evil. The govern ment ought to have dealt with it more vigorously years ago, before the Mormons became so strong. It is not too late now, however, to put an end to an institution that is repugnant to right-thinking peo ple the world over. —Savannah News. Not His Mother. From the Detroit Tribune.] Washington society has been grinning oyer the blunder of one of its number—-a woman not unaccustomed to blundering, however. She made a call on the newly made wife of the Secretary of the Interior. The servant ushered her into a salon, where a stately person in sombre raiment and of austere mien received her. After the usual exchange of social amenities the visitor glanced around expectantly, as if looking for some one, then turning to the hostess, she said : “I presume you are Mr. Lamar’s mother, and I would like to see the bride.” “Madame,” replied the stately dame, “I am Mr. Lamar’s wife.” CHILDREN AT THE ALTAR Two Youthful Couples Married by a Thoughtless Minister, A from Buffalo, N. Y., to the Boston Herald, says: Judge King, of the Po ice Court, was astounded to-day when a pretty litt'e girl, between 13 and 14 years of age, with her skirts above her knees, and her hair hanging, schoolgirl fashion, down her back, requested that he grant her a warrant for the arrest of her husband for non-support. The ex perienced judge locked at the child and thought that she was crazy But she wi s so persistent that the paper was issued. She said her husband’s name was Herbert W. Stone, that her name ivas formerly Grace Kendall, and that she had been secretly married in January. When the warrant was placed in the hands of an officer it was not long before the boy, who is 16 years old, was found and brought into court. The whole thing then came out. It seems that the two named, together with Charles Bales, aged 16, anu Mary Vaughn, aged 15, met in January at a dancing party. They were acquaited slightly before, but on this particular evening seemed to have become completely enamored of one anoth r. They talked the matter over and agreed to proceed to the residence of Rev. Charles xi. Smith, 208 East Eagle street, where they were quietly married. Miss Kendall has been living with her uncie, C. E. Kendall, the head of the Kendall Manufacturing Company, who is her guardian, and who, when he heard how matters stood, tried to make the best of it and have the two children live together. Young Stone is willing to do this, but his mother, who is a rich wo man living at Tonawanda, will not agree, and wants to have the marriage broken otf. She was so stubborn to day that she allowed the boy to go to jail, emphat ically refusing to provide bonds. The other two are not living together either, young Eales, of course, being to tally unable to support his child wife. Mr. Kendall, however, offered to provide for Mr. and Mrs. Stone, but the mother in-law wouldn’t have it that way, Eales and litis wife come from poor, but respect able parentage. Much blame is laid-upon the clergyman who allowed these four children to contract marriage. Mr. Smith is pastor of St. James’ Episcopal church. It is probable that the respective families will endeavor to haye the mar riages annulled. THE LAST OF THE BUFFALOES. Sp?cial to Globe Democrat irom Abilene, Tex] A wagon was in town a few days ago, from which the proprietor was retailing fresh buffalo meat. It is probably the last wagon with such goods that will eyer be seen on the streets of Abilene. There have been a few lonesone buffaloes for some years past in the unfrequented wilds of Crockett county. From these wilds they never emerged, seeming to under stand that they were hemmed in on all sides by a merciless cordon of fire. Therefore their migatory instincts was forgotten, or at least they never attempt ed to follow it. It seemed to be a common consent of all who occasionally visited the region to respect these last remnants of a great race and never to harm them. Even the wildest cowboys yielded to this good feeling. But a change has come. The drowth and the hard necessities that have come by it have driven all the sen timent out of the bosoms of some of the people. They went for the poor lone some buffaloes as a means of earning a little money, and the wagon mentioned above was one of the results. ■’Doubtless there were other wagons in the same business about the same time on the streets of Sin Angelo and Bdiinger. It si not known whether all the buffaloes were killed, but it is most likely that not one escaped. Thus ends the last of the great race in Texas, except about a dozen bead domesticated by Charles Goodnight on his Falodura ranch, in the Panhandle, and probably two or three domesticated by Hon. John Hancock on his farm near Austin. The buffalo was the Indian’s friend and preserver. How long will it be before the last Indian follows the foot steps of the last buffalo in the hereafter? THE WIFE’S SHAKE. No class of men are more iu debt to their wives for the success that comes to them than are farmers. The wife and the mother who has the cour age to go out with the husband of her choice and commence the struggle of life with him on the prarie, or ou anew farm, with but little capital, except boundless capital of heart, is worthy to stand by the side of the Spartan woman of whom poets exhausted their words of praise. Upon her fulls the brunt of the strife, no matter how hard the hus band may toil; liis work closes with the day, but here continues long after; and with her children and the small-chores that many of the beginners look after, her lot is not one to be envied. Aud when, after years of struggle, success, with reluctant feet, comes to crown the husband with honor the bright est wreath should adorn the brow of the noble wife w’ho was the stay and anchor, the comfort and source of all hope in the stormy day of trial. The wealth should crown her queen. We hear that so-and-so is making money, and gets the credit of being a forehanded man, but it is quite as often that the noble little woman, who has toiled and complained not, is the one to whom the state and nation are most greatly indebted These are the women that lead men up to that higher and nobler manhood, to that shrine where, like knights of old, they bend the knee of homage, not to beauty, hut to worthy and royal womanhood. Carter H. Harkii#>n, the Mayor of Chicago, takes a gloomy view of the future of that city. To an interviewer he thus recently expressed himself: “I am 62 years old. A life of quiet for a fiw years may give me a happy aud vigorous old age. A terrible strain du ring the next two years may make me a decrepit valetudinarian. My fear is that we will have some terrible trouble in this city iu the next two years if the Supreme Court gives the anarchists a ew trial. Judge Garry has told me they could never have another trial; they could not get a jury. The men would give out that they were vindi cated, and on the other hand, if they were hung, we may stave conclusions. I have been successful iu being auie to quell all disturbances with the police. The future may develop something different. If I should be elected mayor again I should feel that I would not dare to be away from Chicago where a half day’s ride could not bring me home.” Bucklen’g Arnica Salve.
