WATERS OF THE SPRINGS.
Principal Constituents of tli Different
Classes of Mineral Waters.
The water of many springs holds in
solution saline, earthy and metallic in
gredients. Such springs are found in
most parts of the earth, each differing
from the other, more or less, i the char
acter, quantity and combination of the
constituents. Indeed, as at Saratoga,
there may be essential differences in the
waters of springs at but a short distance
from each other.
The principal constituents are soda,
magnesia, lime, iron and lithium, com
bined with various acids. In some there
is free carbonic acid, so that the water
resembles the manufactured carbonated
water of our so called “soda fountains.”
There may be, also, in smaller quanti
ties. one or more of a dozen other min
erals. Some springs are hot and their
temperature increases their value, espe
cially for bathing purposes.
The springs generally contain a mix
ture of several mineral constituents, but
they are classified according to the pre
dominant one, which, in the main, deter
mines the class of cases to which the
water is suited, though its action is modi
fied by that of the lesser ingredients.
In one class, the chief ingredient is
common salt—chloride of sodium. Since
salt enters into the tissues of the body,
and largely into the gastric juice, it must
have important thera]x?utical uses. It
stimulates the action of the stomach and
bowels and the general circulation. In
this class of springs, the action of the salt
is usually modified by carbonic acid,
which is also found in them.
The water of a second class of springs
is alkaline, and has carbonate of soda—
which differs not greatly from our cook
ing soda —for its chief ingredient. This,
too, is a constituent of the body, and the
water aids in digestion, corrects acidity,
favors the action of the kidneys, and helps
to promote vital changes in the system.
The doses of all alkalies should be small.
In a third class iron predominates.
This favors the formation of good blood,
the production of heat and general nu
trition.
In a fourth class the special constituent
is sulphur, which is sought, among other
ailments, for numerous cutaneous affec
tions.
In a fifth, the chief constituents are
carbonate and sulphate of lime, and car
bonate of magnesia, aiid are of use to
persons having digestive troubles, with a
tendency to acidity, diarrhoea, and irri
tability of the mucous membrane.
These waters, as bottled up at the
springs, and sold by druggists, are in
themselves equally potent; but a large
part of the benefit of a visit, say to Sara
toga Springs, is in the change of scene,
surroundings, etc. Much, ulso, is due to
copious drinking, which washes out the
stomach, and variously relieves the sys
tem. But to have the full benefit of
mineral waters, one should be guided by
the advice of an intelligent physician.
Without it, harm may result, instead of
health.—Youth's Companion.

The Norfolk Dialect,
The natives of Norfolk speak in a sing
song voice, with a rising inflection, which
reaches its highest pitch on the last word
of the sentence. lam assured by people
learned in the Norfolk dialect that the
vocabulary contains hut little slang, and
that many of the words that I used when
a boy, and which sound so oddly now,
are pure Saxon. Nevertheless, if you
visit Norfolk you must be prepared to
hear a rivulet called a “beck,” a house
flannel a “dwile.” a pitcher a “gotcli,”
a ditch a “lioll,” a small tub a “killer,”
a narrow lane a “loke, ” a small field a
“pightle” and strong beer “pogg.”
You will be addressed on all sides as
“How du you du, bor?” the last
word being a contraction of neighbor.
The braying of a donkey will sound no
more melodious to your ears because it is
calk'd a “dickey,” while a Norfolk girl is
none the less attractive for being called
‘ ‘mawther. ’ ’
A Norfolk man will “crowd” a barrow,
not wheel it; while his little son will
“jiffle” at church, not fidget. Spring
lambs down there are “kedgey,” not
sprightly; while ducks enjoy themselves
in a “swidge” instead of a puddle. The
tart and juicy gooseberry becomes a
“thape,” and the ringdove a “dow;” the
jackdaw a “cadder,” the seagull a “cob”
and the snail a “dodman.” The Norfolk
people “mardle” instead of gossip; they
are “slake,” but not idle; they build
“stuggy” when they build strongly. They
“shuck” peas, “would “shug” (shake)
a cocktail, if such a thing were known
there, and “skink” (serve) out beer; while
water just frozen is said to be “laid.” The
mist and fog which rise over the fen
country is called “roke;” and if you failed
to understand this very pur£ Saxon it is
more than likely tle honest Norfolkese
would put you down as a little “shanney,”
or slightly crazy. —Home Journal.
Drinking Instead of Eating.
-•Beer wagon drivers eat less and drink
more than any class of people living. ”
The speaker was a big brewer and knew
wlxit he was talking about. “Yes,” he
continued, “the wagon drivers drink beer
so frequently and so continuously that
they are almost’ constantly in a drowsy
condition. They drink mechanically
whether they want it or not, and I never
knew one to refuse an invitation to have
more. They seem to think it is their
duty to swill all the beer they can put
down. They get into the habit at the
brewery. Every brewery has what is
called a taproom,'which is nothing more
nor less than a free bar. Beer is always
on tap there, and the employes have free
access to it, with the privilege of helping
themselves whenever they please. When
ever a breweryman goes to the taproom
for beer he never drinks fewer than two
glasses. These are turned off in the
twinkling of an eye. The men drink so
much that they lose their natural inclina
tion to ©at like other people. They seldom
eat a hearty meal, a Irfte now and again
between drinks being sufficient to appease
the appetite. There are few brewerymen
who drink less than a hundred glasses of
beer a day, and I know of some who
never go to bed without taking in that
number and twenty-five more.”—Phila
delphia Bulletin.

Waiting for the southbound train.
Place, Baltimore and Potomac depot.
Time, morning of Octorber 8. Destina
tion, Georgia, Cartersville —Home!
Very impatient was I to he on the move
and glad beyond expression when the
trainman cried in his drawling, sing-song
voice, “Passengers aboard for Lynch
burg, Danville. Charlotte, Atlanta and
New Orleans.”
There was a backing and starting, and
puffing, and switching, and ring of bells
for several minutes, and then wy were
away. The line of white smoke hung low
over the Potomac as we pulled over the
long bridge and there was a musical hum
about the wheels of the engine as she
came down to business. A parting look
from the car window showed the fair
city melting away in the hazy autumn
atmosphere, and the towering monument
growing slim and spectral.
A long journey it is and there is noth
ing to do hut wait. And it isJiard to wait
when one is going home. This is the an
nual pilgrimage that has been looked for
so earnestly and impatiently. It would
hr so much more satisfying to skip this
tedious journey and he there at once.
But the distance must he covered in some
way, and almost before one realizes it the
chick-a-lick, ehick-a-lick of the old engine
brings on a sort of reverie that lias its
pleasant thoughts. There comes a dreamy
anticipation of the arrival in the old
home town; the looks of the streets, the
houses and the people that were once so
familiar; the changes and improvements
that may have been made, and the recep
tion that old friends may he disposed to
give the returning wanderer. These
thoughts have their entertaining side and
belli to pass the hours away.
Atlanta is reached an hour behind time,
hut the conductor thinks there is t ime to
catch the afternoon IV. & A. Not time to
eat dinner or brush off travel-stains. Not
even time to transfer baggage or re-eheek
trunks. But what does a boy care for
dinner or dust or trunks when he is head
ed for home and the train ready to leave?
So, here’s for home! Let trunks take
their chances and wait If that train is
missed it means a three hours’ wait in
Atlanta, and waiting will be intolerable
w hen home is so near.
The home-folks are not expecting me.
It is a cheerful Sunday afternoon when I
step in on them. Mv good mother’s
breath is almost taken away when I walk
in on her. While she laughs the tears run
down her cheeks, and it is with difficulty
that she finds her voice.
In nothing was I disappointed. The
town looked well, the people were cheer
ful, the friends were exceedingly kind and
the dear folks at home were as glad to
see me as I was to see them —and that is
putting it very strong.
This home-going is the happiest time
of all the year. It is hard to break up
the home ties and go out into the world to
fight for a living, and the most comfort
ing thought, in leaving is the one that
whispers, “be of good cheer, the return
ing time will soon come.” Once away, the
thought recurs again and again—every
passing hour puts me nearer home. It
serves as a sort of medium to give one
strength and courage for study or busi
ness. It is the one glad event to hope for
and look forward to. There is something
ip it that never tires us and gathers fresh
interest the more it is dwelt upon. And
then w hen we go and taste of the sweets
of home and return again to the city, it
is so comforting to sit quietly down and
think over the experiences of the visit.
The love between the mother and the
child is spoken of as a silken thread. As
the child grows into a youth this silken
thread grows into a silver chain, and
when the youth has grown to man's
estate and leaves the mother this silver
chain grows into a mighty cable that
binds him back to mother and home,
holding him there in spite of storms and
lashing waves, in spite of time and
change, steadily and unwaveringly guard
ing him in the right and holding him
back from the wrong.
1 love old Bartow county. She gave me
birth and has always been my home. She
has a charm for her children, and I have
never heard of one who was unfaithful or
disloyal to the grand old county. Her
sons and daughters have gone out into
various quarters of the country, but
wherever they are and however pleasantly
situated, there are times when the name
less yearning pulls at the heart strings
and cries out for the home of childhood.
If. is gladdening to lx* in the county at
such a time as my recent visit. There was
a healthy and prosperous glow on the
countenances of the people and the coun
ty. I don’t remember to have met a sin
gle croaker or grumbler. All the way
from conservative Ben Godfrey to enthu
siastic Bob Pattillo, there was hopeful
ness and confidence in the future. To get
some idea of the progress already made,
suppose you stop and count up the
improvement made in the tw o years just
past. I found that the price of land in
Cartersville had enhanced at least 20 jer
cent, all through the town, and m some
places it is worth 50 per cent. more. Mr.
J. T. Norris told me that he had, in the
last twelve month, invested several thou
sand dollars in town lots at prices re
garded by many as fictitious, but that
he would not sell any of them now at less
than 25 jier cent, advance on what he
gave. My lather bought six acres last
spring for about SSOO. It could not be
bought now for SI,OOO This shows the
drift of tin- tide.
The Sam Julies College is an enterprise
that duett honor to Cartersville. It will
lx* a model of convenience and is beauti
fully designed. And the nice part is that
it is going robe finishis! and put in mo
tion. That seems to lx? a well sett let !
fact. Sam Jones is a hummer when he
sets his head—and his head is usnfilly set.
1 notice lie talks for Cartersville at home
and abroad. He don’t always preach to
suit the Presbyterians and the Baptists.
To their notion he sometimes gets out of
liik© on the doctrinal teachings of the Bi
ble. But when it comes to talking lip
schools Mud business enterprises of the
right kind lie is a host. When he leans
to the wheel the traces crack and
the load moves. And it is encouraging
to know that Sam Jones is not the only
puller. There are many others who are
beginning to tighten the traces and lean
towards the jnole. This is well. The
trouble with Cartersville heretofore has
been, not that her citizens were unwilling
to pull, but that while some were pulling
forward others wen? pulling back. There
has lx*en such a marked difference lx*t ween
Rome and Cartersville in this particular.
Strike a Roman any time on a Rome en
terprise and he will at once .and enthusi
astically agree with every other Roman
that it is the grandest thing on ice and
is bound to succeed, while in Carters
viille if yon began to enquire about a pro
posed enterprise you. could get ail ex
pression of half dozen different opinions
between.the postoffice and Howard’s
Rank. But now, fortunately, things aiv
changing, and the folks are much dis
posed to pull together and pull hard. 1
believe in Cartersville’s future and am
willing to invest every cent of money 1
can squeeze out of Uncle Sam's Treasury
in Cartersville dirt.
1 can't stop without saying something
for my first love—the town of my nativi
ty—Adairsville. For two years 1 had not
looked upon the dear old place, and I am
happy to say she showed a smiling and
radiant face. The signs of prosperity and
improvement are so marked and unmis
takable as to catch the eye at a first
glance. The houses are all painted and
look new, the yards were clean and fresh,
the fences were well kept. They have a
handsome new Baptist Church and an
elegant Methodist Church will soon be
finished. Mr. Teach told me the people
were in good shape for the coming year.
He said the corn crop was good and the
cotton crop fair; that the farmers had
w orked well and were paying their debts,
and that less bacon had been sold this
year than formerly. Warren Stewart told
me he would make oodles of corn and a
bale of cotton to the acre. E. B. Earle
said his trade was good ; that up to that
time he alone had bought ninety-five
bales of cotton, and that other mer
chants had perhaps done as much.
I couldn't talk with everybody, but I
got enough information to convince me
that A dairsville was “still in the ring and
constantly growing.” She deserves her
prosperity. A a nobler, kinder people
never lived than those same A dairsville
people.
Just another word or two and I am
done. You should know of a good thing
I heard about your fellow-citizen, Hon.
A. M. Foute. It was in Atlanta during
the closing days of the Legislature. 1
was circulating among the boys and
among others was introduced to Mr.
Wheeler, of Walker, known, I believe, as
the “Watch-dog of the Treasury.” With
out telling him 1 was from Bartow, 1
asked in a casual way what sort of a
member Foute, of Bartow, had made.
“Why, just the very best kind,’ he said,
with a touch of enthusiasm. “I wish we
had more like him. He has been at his
post more faithfully than any of us. He
is a worker. Foute don't know anything
but to do right and discharge Ins duty.
We are in need of more Foutes in the
Legislature now.” 1 was so glad to hear
him say this that I was proud to tell Mr.
Wheeler that I had the honor of being
one of Mr. Foute’s constituents. He said
he didn’t know that, but had nothing to
take back. That grand old saying tjiat
an honest man's the noblest w ork of God
grows more forceful every day, and it is
good to know that there is still left here
and there a clean, honest, square man
like A. M. Foute. IV. J. N.
BOYS AS INVENTORS
Grand Mechanical Devices Produced by
Mere Striplings.
From Youth.]
Some of the most important inventions
have been the work of mere boys. The
invention of the valve motion to the
steam engine was made by a hoy. Watt
left the engine in a very incomplete con
dition from the fact that he had no way
to open or close the valves except by
means of leavers operated by hand. He
set up a large engine at one of the mines,
and a boy was hired to work these valve
leavers. Although this was not hard
work, yet it required his constant atten
tion. As he was working these leavers
he saw the parts of the engine moved in
the right direction, and at the exact time
he had to open or close the valves. He
produced a long, strong cord, and made
one end fast to the projier part of the
engine and the other to the valve lever.
Then he had the perfect satisfaction of
seeing the engine move off with perfect
regularity of motion. A short time after
the foreman came around and saw the
boy playing marbles at the door. Hook
ing at the engine, he soon saw the inge
nuity of the boy, and also the advan
tage of so great an invention. Mr. Watt
then carried out the boy's inventive
genius in a practical form, and made the
steam engine a yierfect automatic work
ing machine. The power loom is the
invention of a farmer boy, who had
never seen or heard of such a thing. He
cut one out with a knife, and after lie had
got it all done he with great enthusiasm
showed it to his father, who at once
kicked it to pieces, saying that he would
have no boy about him who would spend
his time on such foolish things. The
boy was afterward apprenticed to a
blacksmith, and he soon found that his
new master was kind and took a lively
interest in him. He made a loom of
what was left of the one his father had
broken up, which he showed to his mas
ter. The blacksmith saw that lie had no
common boy for an apprentice, and that
the invention was a very valuable one.
He immediately had a loom constructed
under the supervision of the boy. It
worked to their perfect satisfaction, and
so the blacksmith furnished the means
to manufacture the looms, the boy to
receive one-half the profits. In about a
year the blacksmith wrote to the boy’s
father that he should visit him, and
bring with him a wealthy gentleman, who
was the inventor of the celebrated power
loom. You may be able to judge the
astonisnment of the old man when his
son was presented as the inventor, who
told him the loom was the same as the
model he (the father) had kicked to
pieces a year before. Smaeton, the great
mechanic, when a boy, disdained the or
dinary playthings ofboyhood. One day,
after having watched some mill weights,
he was discovered, to the great distress
of his family, in a situation of extreme
danger, fixing a wind-mill on the top of
the barn, He afterward built the Eddy
stone lighthouse in the midst of the
waves. Cyrus H. McCormick was not 22
years old when he produced the first
practical reaper the world ever saw.

SPU ItG LON S SEC ESS ION.
The Withdrawn! of the Kmou> Divine tin-
Itiipti’.t Church.
To a coiwKjKißttent of the New York
Herald a few days since; Mr. Spurgeon
said:
“No. my holiday will not l>eiu America,
where 1 never have l*eei anti never expect
to go, because 1 tint too busy here, but
where I have Iteloved friends and eortv
spondents. whose approval of my recent
course 1 shall Ite glad to hear. I said
nothing about it to-tlay iiecause I prefer
always to give personal explanations in
a newspaper, such as you can s**e in tli*'
denominational Sword ami Trowel, in
the coming Novendier issue of which I
say much. Hut doubtless, till that is
worth knowing tts to my movements and
reasons has been alreadv eabhsl to the
Hera hi. ’•
Other inquirers coming up, he m.ade
similar remarks to each. Mingling with
the congregation stiill going out 1 heard
nothing but expressions of confidence in
the pastor's course, which was really
taken with the prior approval of the offi
cers of t he congregation.
WIIAT IS SAID IX A CHI IM'tl OUOAX.
Mr. Spurgeon's withdrawal from the
baptist inion caust‘s as much sensation
in non-conformist circles as Lord Salis
bury's withdrawal from the Cabinet
would in political cilvies. One of the or
gans of tiieestablished Church says:
It is a tine example always wlnn a good
man opposes himself against the spirit
of the age and does battle temperatHv,
without angry words. Whether his cause
be right or wrong - is of small impor
tance when the instincts of the hero are
good. The essential point is that lie de
livers his protest and holds the. field with
dignity.
Mr. Spurgeon's declaration of faith is a
model. He does not blame the Lniou for
harboring errors, because, so far as lie
can Hte, it is powerless to help itself. The
preacher's common sense is shown most
conspicuously in his refusal to start a
new denomination. He declines to be
made a prophet to the rest.
THE VIKWS OF A BROTHER IIACTIST.
Dr. John Clifford, Vice-President- of the
baptist Union, well known in America,
was interviewed to-day on the subject.
He said: ,
• “It is clear that, like Luther, Mr. Spur
geon feels that he can do naughtesle than
withdraw. Conscience bids him, and lie
obeys. AH our traditional baptist princi
ples constrain us to honor Mr. Spurgeon
for his unswerving fidelity to his convic
tion of duty, and to believe that, though
the act be for the moment unmistakably
hurtful, yet if the truth gain all will gain,
the baptist Lniou included.
WHAT M|{. SUUROEON OBJECTS TO
“Mr. Spurgeon accompanies his retire
ment with the following six allegations:
That some persons are allowed to remain
in the Union who uiakelight of the atone
ment, deny the personality of the Holy
Ghost, call the fall a fable, speak of jus
tification by faith as immoral, refuse
credence to the dogma of the plenary in
spiration of the Holy Scriptures, and hold
that there is another probation after
death with possibilities of a future resti
tution of the lost. Mr. Spurgeon says
that all unions begin to look like confed
eracies of evil. This is a grave charge
indeed. Take the Bsitish Baptist Union
only; it consists of two thousand
churches, with pastors and a communing
membership of over two hundred thou
sand. Are these churches and pastors
federated together in the Union in evil?
Mr. Spuegeon states his case % with great
energy; but what does he prove? No
books are cited; no sermons are quoted;
no papers read at the Union are put in
evidence; no addresses given at its meet
ings are advanced; not a solitary man,
not a solitary church is named.”
HOES HE HEM* RELIGION?
After defending the Union at great
length and in good temper the reverend
gentleman concluded thus: “but sup
posing Mr. Spurgeon really had a case
and his indictment could be proved, is his
withdrawal the best service that can be
rendered —not to the baptist Union
only—but to the kingdom of heaven, for
which the baptist Union exist? Christian
scholars have their contest. The
Old Testament is being put into
a fire heated to sevenfold fierce
ness, and the newer record is still
unconsumed in a burning bush of criti
cism. Church builders seethe old politics
and orders changing, and scureel.y know
what way to take with the social difficul
ties that rise at a hundred points at onct?
This surely, of all times, is not the hour
for division. Every soldier is wanted;
not an ounce of power can be spared.”

Attractive and Telling Advertisements
The old style of merely puffing one’s
merchandise has passed out of date. The
reading and purchasing public of to-day
demand something stronger and better.
That this want is recognized and appreci
ated by the keen advertiser and equally
alert public is apparent to almost every
one. The fact is, advertising lias become
such an integral paid of modern business
methods that it is almost impossible to
carry on any kind of trade or traffic
without its aid. It is well known that
many concerns pay large salaries to
skilled writers, whose only employment
is the invention and the framing of at
tractive and telling advertisements.
Thousands of dollars are annually ex
pended simply in putting the matter in
shape, and many millions more for its
publication in the press. The firm who
can express in clear, strong and concise
language, set in attractive form of dis
play, just what it has to offer, at once
attracts the merchant as well as the
consumer.
No merchant can now wholly depend
for business upon the fact of his being
well known to the trade. No matter how
many years he may have been establish
ed, or how familiar his name is to the
purchasing public, or how celebrated his
wares are, if lie does not advertise and
keep doing so in some way buyers and
consumers will in time ignore him and
visit and trade with his competitor who
sounds his trumpet upon all occasions to
the extent of thousands of dollars a year,
and pays the same without murmur
because it pays him to do so.—Dry

The anti-prohibitionists of Atlanta, are
a hard set indeed, if they are not ashamed
of the liarrangue delivered by one of
their spokesmen E. A. Angier to the
negroes the other night. We scarcely
believe that a man of respectability,
would be guilty of rnakingsuch utterance,
to delude and misguide an ignorant peo
ple. His cause is bad, but the means be
adopted in this instance, to further it,
was worse, if possible.
If Mr. Angier is endowed with the
slightest conscience, and has the least
bit of self respect, he will spend the re
mainder of the campaign in sackcloth
and ashes.

The Heinerty for Vuuag fiirl Wits
Married in Kim.
Special to the tilobe-Demoerat.
Kau Claire, W is., Oct., 81.—A great
social sensation was recently created here,
and in other citi*s where the lady in the
cast* is well known, by the marriage in
fun of Miss Clara Poster, daugntcr of
millionaire Foster, of Fairchild this
county, to Kdward Foss, station agent
at Fairchild. Interest is added to tin*
case by the fact that tli* charming young
lady has a twin sister who so closely re
sembles her that many are unable to tell
the two apart, ami the sister who had
nothing to do with the iwcapade husex
jierienced as much annoyance as Miss
Clara, who did not leave her room for
several days after the affair, while Mr.
Foss was at times quite uncertain which
girl he had married.
It was at first supposed by the dis
tracts! bride that the only way toeacupe
was to be finally divorced. The matter has
now lieen finally settled after much worry,
the rumor that Mr. Foss was demanding
$200,000 from the young lady’s
as a condition of release lieing quite un
founded, as Mr. Foss is too much of a
gentleman. A plan was devised in a con
sultation of the village wise-acres ami
lawyers with assistant counsel from Au
gusta ami Kau Clair*-. It was concluded
that a divorce was not necessary, but
that all parties must go on record as
havingenguged in thomarriageeeremony
without any serious intent and merely
as a jest. Accordingly bride, groom and
Justice of the Peace made solemn affida
vits to that effect and bride and groom
“exchanged receipts,” as it were.
Of course, the remedy may be legally
weak, and it was probably devised by
f he lawyers simply to quiet agitation.
They acted rather us’physicians than as
lawyers. At any rate the matter is con
sidered as settled in this way, and the
millionaire's lovely daughter smihs
through her tears of vexation and grief.
“It's all fixed now,” exclaimed her twin
sister (they are just 19), “and Clara will
never do such a thing again. 1 think it’s
horrid to have your own twin sister get
married in fun and to lie caught in earn
est. Oh! it makes me shiver.”
both the young ladies are highly ac
complished and popular, and the villagers
have hardly yet got through congratula
ting them on theireseape from the rather
serious consequences of an innoeent joke.
In bringing to the notice of the Su
preme Court of Massachusetts the case
of the steward of the Springfield Club,
who had been convicted of selling liquors
in a town which had voted for local
option, the lawyers for the defense had
two objects in view. The first of these
was to secure a reversal of the sentence
against their client; the second to ascer
tain whether any club had a right to
dispense liquors among its members in
any community governed in this reftjieet
by a local or general prohibitory law.
The conviction in the present case seems
to have lieen due to the fact that the
steward also sold liquors to an outsider,
for the Supreme Court, while sustaining
the conviction, held that “if two or more
persqns buy a gallon of liquor and divide
among themselves they act with impuni
ty/’ provided this lie not “a mere device
to cheat the government out of its li
cense fee and prevent the due execut ion
of the law.” As no club is organized for
such purpose it follows that liquor may
be “divided" among its members, the
manner of. the division —which in this
case was regulated by metal checks —
being left to those to whom the liquor
belongs.

It is reported that the Bunkers, of
Tunkers, will all emigrate to the Pan
handle of Texas, and form a small theo
cracy there after the manner of the Mor
mons in Utah. For this purpose they
have selected the unorganized County of
Ochiltree, just north of the Canadian
River, the school lands of which county
they intend to file upon. At present the
Hunkers are settled principally in Ohio,
Indiana, Pennsylvania and Illinois. This
society originated in Germany, and the
members are so called from their mode
of baptism, the verb to dip in German
being tunken. Sunday-schools were first
established by these people, who preceded
Robert Raikes upward of thirty years in
their institution. They somewhat re
semble the Friends; they will not go to
law, will not take oaths, and refuse to
tight. Only till quite recently was the
receipt of interest jiermissible among
them. They celebrate the lord's supper
.with the accompaniments of feet wash
dug, love feasts, the kiss of charity and
Blie right hand of fellowship. They
annoint the sick with oil and use brine im
mersion in the name of the Trinity.
They have a monastic institution among
them, but celibacy is not enjoined.

ized the old school practice of medicine,
of which I am bold to say I am a taith

treatment for blood poison is known to
all. The profession has for centuries
sought a harmless cure, but in vam, and
it had become a settled belief that it could
only be cured by mineral and dangerous
treatment. But in your medicine a safe
