About twenty years ago I discovered a little sore on my cheek, and the doctor* ?*♦
nonneed it Manr. I have tried a number of physicians, out without receiving an f perma
nent beiu tit. Among the number were one or two specialists. The medicine tney applied
was like tire to ttie sore, causing intense pain. I saw' a statement in the papers telling what
S. S. S. bad done for others similarly afflicted. I procured some at once. Before f had used
the second bottle the neighbors could notice that my cancer was healing up. My genera!
health had l>een oaa for two or three years—l haa a hacking cougn ana spit blood contin
ually. I hed a severe pain in my breast. After taking six bottles of S. S. S. my cough left
nil and I grew stouter than ft had been for several years. My cancer has healed overall but
a little spot about the size of a half dime, and it is rapidly disappearing. I would advise
every one with cancer to give S. S. S. a fair trial.

MR. JONES’ FAREWELL.
HIS LAST SERMON IN CIN
CINNATI.
Three Tliousauil People Listen
to a Spleilil Dincoiirse.
A Word For Sam Small, and Prayer* For
Hi* Preservation.
Cincinnati Enquirer, 6th.]
Three thousand people listened to the
closing sermon of Sam Jones s*t Music
Hall last night. Nearly the entire audi
torium was filled as well as the balcony.
Several hundred occupied seats on the
stage. Camp Meeting John, the well
known reyivalist, sang a selection, as did
Mr Excell, Sam Jones’ vocalist. Dr.
Joyce stated that the collection taken up
would be given to Sam Jones. He said
that Jones is
SPENDING MORE MONEY
In charity than any man in the coun
try. He is supporting four young men
at college in Georgia, and is always help
ing poor people. He told how the evan
gelist gave money yesterday to a fellow
whose only excuse was that he was dead
broke.
A |2O gold piece was slipped into Dr.
Joyce’s hand to start the collection. He
said lie hoped to raise |3OO. Sam Jones
was not present when all the pleasant
things were being said about him. Mr.
Exce 1 sung “Jesus Lover of My Soul,”
the congregation joining with him. The
evangelist said before he began to speak
that lie would ask Brother Excell to sing
“Keep in the middie of the road,” which
he did with great effect, the large audi
ence applauded so vigorously that he was
compelled to respond to an encore. He
sang the “Model Church.” Sam Jones
said: “This is an hour of sadness for me,
and lam glad, too, to see such an audi
ence on a week night. 1 take it as an eu
deavor to honor Christianity. I am
goiLg to take as my text Tie that is horn
of God can not commit sin, etc.' If we
get
RIGHTLY UPON THIS TEXT
To-night we will receive light from God.
If l were to say at this point that an hon
est man can not steal, a truthful man can
not lie or a chaste man he vulgar, you will
all agree with me, hut when I say a
Christian man can not commit sin you
may take issue with me. I don't intend
to talk about santification here to-night
because I would shoot ahoye my nnuk.
There can’t be a second blessing until we
get a first, and mauy of us haven’t got
that yet. Every Christian is the child cf
a king. There is a great deal in good
blood. I don’t mean blue blood, hut I
have noticed that the hoy who is proud of
his father the daddy is ashamed of him
It’s worth a thousand fortunes to any
young man to he of good family. It was
an omnipotent leverage on humanity. O,
boys, when you fall into had practices re
member a pure mother and noble father,
and say you will never do anything to
bring shame upon them. You step out
before the word and say: ‘I am the son
of the Lord God Almighty!” They’ll say,
we expect something of you. You must
act like a prince, go where a prince ought
to go, and stay awtty from where a prince
ought not to go. Thank God, the world
knows the difference between a gentleman
and a vagabond. If you were to go dowu
to a saloon and get as drunk as a boiled
owl nobody would take any notice of it;
but if I were to get drunk it would be
TELEGRAPHED ALL OVER THE COUNTRY.
That’s the difference between a vagabond
and a gentleman. One of the crowned
heads of the East turned his son over to a
tutor. He wasn’t a very obedient hoy,
and the teacher put a badge on him as an
insignia of his princely character. When
ever the hoy was bad the badge was re
moved, and the boy learned to maintain
the dignity and honor of his position. Sons
and daughters of the Lord Almighty
there's something ennobling and elevating
in this. We shall be like the Lord Jesus
Christ, for we shall see him as He is. The
second thought is the purity of the Chris
tian church.
“If the physical phases of this city were
as had as the moral phases the people
would die by the thousands every week.
If I didn’t keep any better company than
some of you keep 1 wouldn’t be any better
than you are, and I wouldn’t be as low
down as you are for the world. You are
just about as pure as you want to be.
About four years ago I overhauled my
self and found I had quit everything I
wanted to quit, but other things I ought
to quit I was still doing. That fellow in
the Church of God also loves whisky. He
loves it better than anything else in the
world. He smacks his lips as a mark of
the deyil’s approval. When I smell
whisky on a fellow who is a professing
Christian I put him down as a hypocrite,
a hypocrite. I didn’t care a cent who was
elected mayor of this city yesterday. I
only wanted him to
COME IN SCARED,
And I think he did. I hope that he was
so scared that he will make the best
mayor in America, and say like Mayor
Hewitt, of New York, ‘lf 1 can’t enforce
the law I will resign.’ Hally as good
citizens and have the law enforced. It's
not men I f.m fighting for, hut privileges.
Every officer who is sworn to enforce the
law and doesn’t do it is a pusilanimous,
perjured puppy. May God drive out
these slums of sin so that our boys may
be delivered from vice and the girls from
miserable drunken husbands. Throw
your money down awlnle and look after
the morals of your children. But some of
you are not going to do it. I’m just wast
ing my time talking to you. All I ask of
the devil is to let us alone who are trying
to do right. I don't believe the church
will be what it ought to be until Chris
tians o>k upon sin with an absolute ab
horrence. It doesn’t take much whole
cloth to make a lie. It runs like a box
car down hi 1, but if you want the truth
to go, you have to hitch an engine to it to
pull it. The devil often goes where he
ain’t invited, but he doesn’t stay where
be ain’t welcome, so if he
PUTS UP WITH SOME OF TOU
Old fellows it’s because you treat him
pretty well. Go where God can bank on
you, you big, loud-mouthed Methodist,
who sings and shouts: ‘Surely the Captain
may depend on me.’ Depend on you for
what? As the little boy says, you will
cut and shoot —cut and run home and
shoot under the bed. You ought to get
so busy serving God that you won't have
a minute to run after the devil. Some of
you women say there’s no harm in playing
cards. I declare I think I won t talk on
that subject any more. It’s an idiot's
game. The superintendent of an asylum
down my way said he always got them for
his patieuls, because, he said, they amused
people without any sense. Get a pack
and go out to the lunatic asylum.”
Mr. Jones was remarkably bright and
humorous in his address. He closed
with an appeal to every one to seek salva
ion. He asked all those who desired to do
right,to stand up and nearly every one in
the hall arose. The evangelist spoke about
his love and regard for Cincinnati and
bade all
AN AFFECTIONATE FAREWELL.
Asking the prayers of all Christian people
to help him in his work. He retered to
the orphan asylum in Georgia which he is
supporting, and said any donations would
he thankfully received. Dr. Joyce said
a few words about the illness of Sam
Small, and when he asked the audience
how many would pray for the sufferer,
every hand in the house was raised.
Camp-meeting John sang “I’m the Child
i 4':i King” most* impressively, and after
another song by Mr. Excell and the ben
ediction the assemblage disappeared,
many tarrvine to bid Sam Jone3 good
bye and give him a small donation for his
orphan asylum. The evangelist will
leave for Atlanta to-night where he will
spend sometime at the bedside of his sick
comrade and friend. Sam Small.
ELI PERKINS.
ilie Humorist Extends the Freedom of
New York City to Our ‘‘Bill Arp.”
Maj. C. H. Smith, (“Bill Arp”), will lec
ture iu New York next month, and Eli
Perkins has, in a letter received Saturday,
extended to him the ireedom of New York
city. His letter was kind, and wks much
appreciated by our home humorist. Sent
along with the letter were two of Eli’s
“Season Tickets,” and we cannot refrain
from publishing a description of one of
them:
Season Ticket.
ELI PERKINS
AT LARGE.
Admit theßearef or Wife, his own Wife,to
Eli Perkins’ Lecture, anywhere in the
world, for years and years.
The Lecture will commence at 8 o’clock,
sharp, and continue till somebody"
requests him to stop. *
In case of an accident to the lecti rer, or
if he should die or he hung before the
evening of the disturbance, tuis ticket will
admit the hearer to a front seat at the
funeral, where he can sit and enjoy him
self the same as at the lecture.
The highest priced seats, those nearest the
door, are reserved for the particular
friends of the speaker.
On the reverse side were the following
“Opinions of the Press” :
OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.
Mr. Perkins refers with pride to the fol
lowing high testimonials:
When Eli Perkins delivered his lecture
in the Illinois House of Reprehensibles,
there was a great rush—hundreds of peo
ple left the building, and ttiev said if he
had repeated it the next night they would
liAve left the city—Chicago Times.
The New r York Tribune pays and
punctuates the following high tribute to
distinguished orator:
George Peek an intemper ite editor from
Milwaukee fell over the gallery la3t night
while Eli Perkins was humorously lectur
ing in a beastly state of intoxication.
Mr. Beecher, an author quite
known in Brooklyn, thus writes to the
London Times in regard to Mr. Perkins’
e'oquence:
Word cannot describe the imnressive
sight. clow sublime! to see Mr. Perkins
standing perfectly erect, with one hand on
his broad, massive, thick skull, talking to
the educated classes —to see the great ora
tor declaiming perfectly unmoved, while
streams of people got up and went out!
How grand a spectacle, as joke after joke
fell from the eloquent lips of this -Cicero
of orators, to watch the enthusiastic
crowds arising majestically as one man
and waving tlieir hands as they clamor
ously demanded their —money back at
the box office.
3ays the genial editor of the Congres
sional Globe:
We never, hut once, experienced more
real genuine pleasure than when this elo
quent man (Mr. Perkins) closed his re
marks That occasion was when we won
the affections of a beautiful young lady,
and gained a mother in-law —and then
saw that mother-in law sw’eetly and se
senely pass away.
P.S.—Eli Perkins distributes a six dollar
Chromo to all who remain to the end of the
lecture. Parties of six who sit the lecture
out will be given a House and Lot.
THE CENTRAL’S OPPONENT.
The Savannah, Dublin and Western
railroad is the water terminus of a line
which is springing up as the opponent
of the Central of Georgia. The line will
be built and you can depend on it, though
the exact route has not as yet been lo
cated. The construction of the Savan
nah, Dublin and Western is under way,
but the route for further projection of
the line from Dublin has not been defi
nitely decided. It will either go to Amer
icus or to Macon, most probably to the
latter. From Macon the route will prob
ably be to Griffin, under an old charter
obtained for the Atlanta Air Line, a direct
route to Griffin, which charter was se
cured long ago and which it is now pro
posed to revive. From Griffin, the Grif
fin, LaGrange and Birmingham railroad
route will be used, and the Rome and
Carollton and the proposed line up from
Rome to Chattanooga may also be con
solidated with the new line. It is also
thought that from Dublin an extension
will be made to Augusta, direct through
Laurens, Johnson, Jefferson and Rich
mond, probably touching Burke and
Washington counties. Now that the
Goodwater extension will give the Geor
gia Central connection with Birmingham,
this new' line, also running out from the
booming town and touching on territory
now covered by the Central.it maybe
put down as a formidable competitor of
the Centra! wdien built.—Augusta Chron
icle.
The unveiling of the statue of Albert
Sydney Johnson, in New Orleans last
week, was witnessed by over 10,000 peo
pie. Federal and Confederate soldiers |
and Generals were present and partici
pated. Ex-President Jeff Davis made a j
touching and patriotic address. President I
Cleveland, who had been invited, sent a
telegram regretting his inability to be
present, and concluded by saying: “That
General Johnston was a great soldier, and
that from the time he left West Point to j
the hour of bis death on the field of
Shiloh, he was conspicuous for valor, for
military celebrity and for the highest per
sonal character must be fully conceded
by all his countrymen The erection of !
a monument for the perpetu ition of his
name is fitting testimony to the affection
and respect in which he is held by his
comrades of the civi> war, and may well
be to them a work of the greatest interest !
and satisfaction. The patriotic senti
ments accompanying the invitation which I
I have received, and the fraternal feeling
therein expressed, I glac’ly recognize as
proofs that in the present condition* every
American citizen may share in the pride
inspired by the illustration of traits which
have ennobled American character. M itb
my best wishes for the success and pros
perity of your society, I am yours, sin
cerely, Gbovkh Cleveland.”
Everything which belongs to pure,
healthy blood is imparted by Hood’*

IN THE LAND OF FLOWERS.
A Bat tow Young Laity Gives Her Experi
ence in Florida.
Jacksonville, Fla.
Editors Courant American :
Once more I greet rrm, but from a
distant laud. For in January I very
quietly wended my way (not alone) to
the laud—the far-famed laud of dowers
and balmy breezes. Well, 1 landed in
Jacksonville, —and let me say right bore,
Jacksonville is a thriving, lovely, and
attractive city, and remarkably neat.
There is a great deal of paint aud white
wash used; uew buildings are goiug up
all the time. The hotels are tilled with
tourists and visitors from all portions of
the globe. Jacksonville is an up-and
down cosmopolital city. There are peo
ple living here of all nations. Jews,
Gentiles, Yankees, Southerners, North
euers, Italians, Chinese, Spaniards, Ger
maus, Dutchmen, Irishmen, Creole and
every nation one can think of. I have
ouly c.ilied them over disconnectedly.
There is a very large quantity nnd qual
ity of negroes here, they range from the
real genuine, humble darkey to the
bigoted mulattos. They have schools
and colleges here, and not long since
they hail a state fair, which was quite a
success, they said, aud was largely at
tended by whites as well as blacks. Bay
street, the principle street of the city,
has quite a number of line business
houses on it. All through the week it is
so crowded that one can hardly elbow
their way through the sea of people.
There is quite an excitonieut going on
iu the oity now, the author of it is a per
son by the glorious(?) name of “Yellow
stone Kit.” He sells medicines, pads,
Ac.; makes the blind see (they say), the
lame walk, and thiow their crutches
away from under them. He is certainly
a wonder this facinating money-makiug
“Kit.” He is of ordinary height, dresses
gorgeously in yellow plush and gold
buttons, and strings of diamonds ( real or
paste) mound his neck, and heavy knee
boots, wears his hair in long linglets
dowu his shoulders. He is worth, they
say, a round three millions—by the way
he throws money aud presents around iu
the crowds, I should tliiuk the tale true.
As I write I hear the band playing down
at his stand.
I must tell you up, my old 13 irtew
fiieuds, about my trip to St. Augustine
on Saturday. It beiug Talai Sunday we
atteuded service at the old cathedral. It
is the oldest cathedral iu ttie United
Statas. There is a large painting if the
first mass he'd in this country, which is
350 years old. Well, yesterday was
Palm Sunday. Ti e cathedra', you know,
always commerate Christ’s entry into
Jerusalem, when lhe peoplo met him
and threw palms in his path aud cried
“Hosannas, blessed is He that cotneth
in the name of the Lord.” All the
Catholics bore palms in their hands. All
the hymns were chanted iu Latiu—writ
ten by old, old composers. The church
was ancient looking, inside and out.
After we left the cburfch we went out itr
the park, which was formerly the old
slave market. Tt is laid out in smooth
grassy plots aud broad white walks.
There are several monuments on the
grounds—l believe one to the memory
of the Confederate dead, —and as we
rode them over, my companion and I,
we noticed at the bottom of one side the
names, James Walton aud Frank
Weems. I started, as those names were
familiar, for there is a Frank Weems in
Bartow, and I wondered if they could
have been related. After we bad stalled
around the park awhile we went to a
hotel aud registered, ate a hearty good
meal, rested, and slowly and lazily we
weuded our way down Treasury street to
Port Marion. We passed houses covered
with creamy roses, aud one I admired so
much, we stopped to purchase it, but
the haudsome, graceful Spaniard lad
pul ed it aud handed it to us with a
pleasant smile, anil we wandered on to
the fort. As we ascended the slope we
saw, far out beyond the bar, the whit
waves leaping aud gleaming iu the suu
shine. There were vessels with their
white sails outlined against the soft blue
sky. Oh! the sight was a grand one for
a country girl. We went on up to the
fort and saw the Indians they kept
guarded there. They wereieated ar mud.
iu clumps —some talking to each other,
some playing like children—all seemed
happy aud contented. The mothers
had their little papoooes straped round
their neck. We lingered, looking at the
fort and at the Indians—and ever aud
anon at the far off’ bine sea—aud then we
sauntered dowu the slope aud passed

through quiet groves, shady laues aud
grassy p’aius feasting our eyes ou sights
and scenes iu the oldest city iu the
United States. We walked over aud
looked at the new hotel, the “Leon,”
and that is to cost two or three millions
—I forget. It is built somewhat on ike
style of the Alhambra and covers quite a
piece of land. It is immense, and will be
perfectly grand and beautiful when com
pleted. There is also another splendid
building in coarse of erection—a .M etho
dist church. We walked all arouud, yet
we did not take in the whole city, for we
had to leave on the evening train. We
passed beautiful orange groves and
flower gardeus—grand old Spanish
houses covered with ivy and white roses.
If you want to feel like you are in
another part of the world go to St.

ried back to Jacksonville on the
evening train, aud crossed over the St.

the city, aud came'home to dream of St.
Augustine—the blue sea—the grand
cathedral—the lovely bowers and moss
laden trees, and orange groves, for days
to come.

A ROMANCE IN REAL LIFE.
The Remarkable Career ol William
Kissane.
Macon Telegraph,]
One of the most interesting romances
recently brought to light by the newspa
pers is that of William Kissane, now a
wealthy Californian, whose name is to
day in every newspaper in the land.
Kissane, a young Irishman, wis in
business in Cincinnati in 1849 as clerk tor a
large dealer in pork and lard. He is de
scribed as having been at that time “an
exceedingly bright young fellow, and a
natural, business man.” At the time
when he first came into public notice he
was but twenty years of age. Eager to
get rich and ready for ventures of almost
any kind that promised well, he joined
certain parties in that city in a scheme
for transporting a great cargo of provis
ions to New York, and in furtherance of
it they purchased or chartered the steam
er Martha Washington, and embarking
their goods upon her, began the long
journey. Kissane remained ia Cincinnati,
lie found prior to the sailing of the
steamer that he must bear his proportion
of the insurance, and in order to do this
he committed forgery on the Chemical
Rink of New York. Perhaps he was
impelled to this desperate resort by the
knowledge he had gained of the charac
ter of men with whom he was engaged.
Perhaps he had knowledge in advance of
what was to happen. The result of the
Martha Washington venture was that
the steamer was burned with her cargo.
Some loss of life occurred and the cir
cumstances were such that the insurance
money was refused and the parties most
interested became fugitives. They
were tried for burning the boat, finally
and acquitted. Kissane’s notes, which
he expected to pay from his profits, were
not met and the forgery was discove ed.
His connection with the business venture
as a partner in the Martha Washington,
his own crime of forgery and his appa
rent connection with the diabolical crime
of arson, although he wa9 faraway from
the scene, crushed him in the twinkling
of an eye. He was arrested and tried for
forgery and was about to be sentenced
when he made a plea so touching, so elo
quent and so evidently earnest that it
secured him a light sentence from the
judge, arrested public attention and final
ly brought about a movement which re
sulted in his pardon. This remarkable
plea closed thus :
“And yet, sir, it was my own fault.
Endowed with all the feelings and senses
of manhood, I should have know to have
been breathed upon by them (the associ
ates) was death; that the very atmosphere,
that surrounded them'waa as po'sonous as
that which surrounded the upas tree. I
should have as indignantly spurned them
from me as you would, sir, the most loath
some reptile that crawls upon the face of
the earth. Had I paused, hid T pondered,
I hai not been here. I most hare been
in a dream, a sort of spell, when I permit
ted the ignis fatuns to lead me to destruc
tion, and though I stand here charged
with, and convic ed of crime, yet my
heart tells me, and I feel it and know it to
be true, that I have no sympathy with it,
that I haye no feeling or emotion in com
mon with its perpetrators. Ilad I paused,
had 1 pondered, you, sir, would have been
spared the disagreeable duty which de
vovles upon you this day, and I can fancy
no duty that is more irksome to an en
lightened and humane judge than that of
consigning a f>-llßw creature to a living
tomb. But the edicts of the law must be
fulfilled. The consequences must fall on
those who come antagonistic to it, and
cheerfully, gladly, yes joyful y, would I
go hence to wherever it may please you to
consign me, did I feel that 1 might yet live
to return regenerated, untarnished; that I
couid once more take that proud station
among family and friends that I once
held.”
“But alas, sir, this cauuot be, and the
overwhelming consciousness of it in
flicts more misery aud wretchedness
upon me than the law can iuflict. There
is no escape from oue’s feelings, except
through the portals of the grave. I
could escape from the la lroad cars at
the risk of my life, as has been given in
testimony, aud I c mid lay out in the
woods night after night with no cover
ing except the canopy of heaven; hut
there was one ever watchful companion
which I could uot avoid—it was the
constant prompting of the heart—‘What
have you been, what infamy aud disgrace
have you emailed upon yourself? I
could hear it ill the leaves that mstled
over my head. I could hear it in every
sound that w T as borne upou the breeze.
The whole world may forgive me but I
cauuot forgive myself. I had hoped,
sit , to reach some distant couutry, where
those who had known me could know
me no more—where I could have set
tled down among strangers, aud once
more have beeu a mau among men.
The ever-present memory of the past
would have beeu a bright light to guide
me in the path of rectitude iu all the
future, and would have illuminated th
rock upon which I was cast away, aud
I am here; but w r ere I permitted to de
part this day, aud whenever it shall
please the powers that be to permit me
to depart, such shall he my course—l
trust a wiser aud a better man.”
The Judge stated in passing sentence
that it was made light by the plea
Pardoned aud .discharged from Sing
Sing, Ivissace disappeared from the
public gaze until a few days since. This
disappearance was thirty-one years ago.
Siuce that time William Kissane has
been dead so far as the world is concern
ed. But with Walker w’hen he went out
on his famous filibustering expedition,
went a young man uuder the name of
William K. Rogers, who distinguished
himself hv gallant couduct and who
escaped with the lucky few. Rogers
went to work as a porter in Sui Fran
cisco, rose to be a clerk, became a miner,
struck a paying lead mine and having
“made bi3 pile ' purchased a tine astate
aud settled down with wife aud o'lildreu
to pass the balance of his life peacefully,
This was Kissane; the plea he had made
in court and the clemency of the Judge
seemed to have been justified.
“Be sure your crime will find you
out ” This iiue must have ruug iu the
unfortunate man’s memory many a time
iu all these years, for scarce had he
begun to enjoy his wealth when, his
secret half guessed, he became the prey
of blackmailers. To-day the whole
story is out. One of the most promi
nent aud respected umu in California, a
large circle of friends and relatives are
crushed; shame rules where honor has
beta.
But one of the most singular features
of the whole case is that Kissane’s
brother abandoning the family name
and concealing bis relationship followed
him to California aud is to-day one of
her leading men. But few people know
this last secret and to-day all the state
is guessing at it. Taken in its entirety
the case is one of the most remarkable
known to journalism aud furnishes the
novelist with a line plot. Aud it has its
i moral. How apt, here, seem the words
of a celebrated preacher:
“Yeung men he ware of weak spots iu
character, out of which may flow all that
is pure in morals, upright iu life and
honorable in business. The end thereof
is misery, ruin and despair.’’

PULLMAN, THE PALACE CAR MAN.
How He Made Hi* Money— Drains ami
Energy, 'Sol Luck*
From the Savannah News.]
The newspapers are making a goed
deal of fun of George M, Pullman,
whom it is said the King of Italy his
knighted. Pullman is a very rich mar,
but there is no evidence that he has the
foolish desire for show which many
other rich men iu this country have.
He earned his money honestly, and the
city of Pullman is proof that lie uses it
wisely.
The story of how Pullmau laid the
fouudatiou of his fortune is interesting.
Early in the (10’s the level of Chicago
was raised, so that the principal business
streets were half a dozen feet above the
basement windows of the stores. The
owners of the stores hud but little
trouble in raisnig those built of wood,
Pullman, who was thou a house raiser,
contracted to raise a brick drug store.
It was not believed that he could do it
successfully, but he employed a force
of bauds, borrowed all the jack-screws
iu the city, and went to work. When
everything was in readiness a great
crowd collected, expecting to see the
store full instead of rise. Just at dark
Pullman gave the word, and the bauds
gave a few turns to the screws. Then
he dismissed the hands until next day.
Early in the morning the crowd again
collected and much amazement was ex
pressed when it was found that the store
was two or three inches above t he ground.
The tension of the timbers had worked
the entire structure clear duriug the
night. Iu Ihe course of a few days
Pullman had completed his work, with
out having jarred a single drug bottle
out of place. For some time he had all
he could do raisiug buildings, among
them being the Tremout House, which
is large enough to hold 500 poople.
About the time there were no more
buildings to be raised a keen Yankee ol
tuiued permission from the Michigan
S mthern railroad to go through its
night cars with a head-rest, which lie
offered for 50e. to screw on the back of
seats. Pullman saw the contrivance,
determined at once that it was a good
thing, and sought the Yankee and
bought his patent. Soon after lie got
an old car and beg iu to experiment, with
the head-rest. The result was the
Pullmau palace sleeping car; and to-day
the Pullmau Palace Car Company’s
#20,000,000 of stock is selling above 150,
and the surplus iu the company’s treas
ury is over #10,000,000.
It was brain and energy, not luck,
that made Pullman a rich min, and the
young meu of the country would do Well
to profit by his examp e.

There is much, very much, iu the
above estimate that should receive the
attention and consideration of our cap
italists. Said JohnS. Clark, of Boston
in an address before the Franklin In
stitute, of Philadelphia, in 1881; “I
hold in my hand a piece of steel. Its
value is, perhaps, five cents, and yet it
may bes lid to represent hardly more
than so much raw material. Iu this
hand I bold another pieco of similar
quality, but less qnanity, and yet this
latter has a value of #2O. What makes
this difference iu value? Simply this:
That humau thought has beeu playing,
as it were, about this latter piece of
steel, and has made it the basis upon
which it has concreted itself so that we
have an instrument of great practical
use—a micrometer caliper—maimy the
product of thought as expressed by
skilled labor.—Bethleham, Pa., Times,

A mechanical expert given to curious
investigation estimates that the tooting of
a locomotive on the New York, New
Haven and Hartford railroad in an ordi
nary clay’s run, involves a waste of steam
requiring the consumption of 280 pounds
of coal to renew. He estimates the
whistling expenses of that particular
railway at $15,000 per year.
The father of young Johnnie Goode,
who was so ruthlessly murdered by a
gang of negro thieves in York county,
S. c., in November last, five of whom
were lynched in Yorkville Saturday
morning, is now a raving maniac in the
Columbia Asylum. He is not aware of
the lynching of the negroes Ilis wife’s
mind is also unbalanced by the terrible
calamity of their little son. Is it any
wonder that Judge Lynch should act
promptly in this case, when it is remem
bered how slow and uncertain is the
process of the law ?
