CARTERSVILLE. GEORGIA, THURSDAY. APRIL 15, 1886. GEORGIA CRAYONS. Prowling Around Among Pungent Para graphed. Sara Small denies the report that he and Sam Jones received $3,000 each for their services in Chicago. The friends of Judge McCay are anx ious for him to vacate the bench on ac count of mental vagaries. Collector Crenshaw swelled the gov ernment pocket to the amount of $lB,- 177.32 during the month of March. Frank Humphries, the accused mur derer of two young ladies in Baldwin county, came near dying the other day. The Columbus Enquirer-Sun. is about to pass into the hands of a stock company. The paper has been capitalized at $20,000. The frost Thursday morning was gen eral over the entire State. The “oldest inhabitant’ ’ is being gradually and effec tually downed. Atlanta furnishes a column aid a half of criminal record for her papers daily. There are larger cities that cannot boast of as heavy a showing. Ex-Senator Smith says farming does not pay in Georgia. There are plenty contradictions to the statement, and from men do not emply convict labor either. Mr. John M. Berry and Miss Willena Bass were married in Dalton last Thurs day. It was an imposing affair and the bride received a $3,000 check from her father on the occasion. It is proposed to run Larry Gantt, the Northeast newspaper man, for Congress in the Eighth district. It is about time the “Fourth Estate’’ should be remem bered by the truly loyal. Since its editor lias got married the Greensboro Herald is now opposed to making social visits on Sunday, and also on Sabbath. You may just conclude that one Georgia editor has actually “settled down.” The whisky drinkers of our neighbor ing town, Greensboro, who voted the dry ticket last Saturday, have been boy cotted by the saloonists, and now they must take their toddy in Madison or do without.—Madisonian. The tax receiver will put the “screws” to you when you go to give in your taxes this year. The last Legislature passed an act which is intended to bring about a more just and perfect return of all prop erty for taxation. With the advent of spring, that good old lady, the Milledgeville Union and Reeorder , hops out on the carpet in a bran new frock, with the eight-page imhel lish men ts. Like whisky, the old girl improves with age. The Canton Advance estimates the dam age by the late freshet to Cherokee coun ty to be one million dollars, and produ ces the figures to do it. It will now be in order for the Cherokee people to split the county up and annex the pieces to the adjoining counties. Dalton Citizen: “Rev. Joe Jones, a brother of the evangelist Sam, has been raking the backsliding church-goers of this community fore and aft. Jones has a sans souei way of expressing himself that is strikingly characteristic. His idea seems to be let the “cap fit who it may.” The large dwelling house of W. M. Westmoreland, near Austell, was de stroyed by fire at noon on the 2nd Inst. The fire is supposed to have originated from the kitchen stove. Mr, Westmore land was severely burned in the face in attempting to move his goods. The loss is $1,500. A small portion of the furni ture was saved. Fulton county will have one drinking saloon, prohibition notwithstanding. The garrison of the United States soon to be established in Atlanta will own a com missary, from which beer, wines and light liquors will be dealt without paying any tax. State or Federal. Mr. H. Wer ner, of Atlanta, will probably be the post trader, and his fortune is assured in a very little time. D\ S. M. Harp in attempting to cross the Etowah bridge in Cherokee county while the water was running over the road some distant from the bridge, rode into a deep hole and in swimming out lost his ‘pill bags.’ He and others went back to look for his medicine case, a few days later, and found the skeleton of a man. None knew who it could be, nor how or when it came there. Bob Hardeman, State Treasurer, is of the opinion that the State of Illinois will not institute suit to collect the fraudulent bonds she holds against the State. Says the Treasurer; “I don’t believe the State of Illinois will institute any such pro ceeding. It is the universal Idea that a sovereign cannot be sued. If Illinois sues Georgia she thereby admits that she is not a sovereign and can be sued. Even if she does, I don’t believe Illinois can get a judgment against the State ot Geor gia for the repudiated bonds.” It was rather expected that when Messrs. Moody and Sankey finished their engagement at the Bell compress their pockets would be generously lined with Atlanta dollars. It has, strange to say, been difficult to get at this financial transaction, if there was one. Rev. J. W. Lee of Trinity church, a prominent pastor, states that these gentlemen were paid for their work just SSO each, and things it a burning shame that they were treated so niggardly, especially as the building was Yurnished free. If the la bors of these reverend gentlemen are to be measured by the amount of compensa tion, the harvest of souls was small in deed. —Atlanta correspondent Macon Tel egraph. A correspondent thus describes the sit ution at Athens; “When Clarke county, after a hot fight, went dry at the prohibi tion election, it was discovered that the result aimed at was nullified by the coun ty next door. The line of Oconee was but a short distance removed, over the river. An enterprising liquor man, J. A. Fowler, took out an Oconee license, and established himself upon the line, where he might be convenient to his old friends. For a long time this standing menace to good order has been the sub ject ot indignant comment. Not only was it the resort of such citizens as chose to evade the law, but it was a snare for the young men ot the city. The business, however,was prosperous,ard Fowler wa making money. As long as Clarke re mained dry and Oconee was convenient enough to furnish the liquor, Fowler was happy. Now, however, he has struck a snag. The county commissioners of Oco nee have taken the matter in hand. Ap peals from citizens of Clarke to aid them in the enforcement of the law have been successful. Asa result the commission ers have declined to renew Mr. Fowler’s license, and now, for the first time, the citizens of Athens will have a prohibition drouth in all its severity. Representative O’Hara, of North Caro lina, a colored man, last week introduced a resolution in the House providing for the appointment ot a committee to in vestigate the recent atiair at Carrollton, Miss., where ten colored men lost their lives. Action thereon will be taken in the future. THE WHITE CROSS. Object* of the Society Now *o Popular at Home aad Abroad. The Pall Mail Gazette exposures seem to have had some good effect and the formation of what are known as White Cross Societies will oon be the order of the day. The pioueer society in Ameri ca, the White Cross Society of New Y r ork, already numbers about 1,000. When a young man joins the societies he sub scribes to the following creeds. He agrees: 1 To treat all women with respect, and endeavor to protect them from wrong and degradation. 2. To endeavor to put down all inde cent language and coarse jests. 3. To maintain the law of purity as equally binding upon men and women. 4. To endeavor to spread these prin ciples among my companions and try to help my younger brothers. 5. To use every possible means to ful fill the command “Keep thyself pure.” The leader of the White Cross move ment in America is Rev. B.F. DeCosta, D. D., pastor of the church St John, the evangelist (Protestant Episcopal), in West Eleventh street, New York. He was born in Charleoton, Mass., iu 1831, and was educated at the Boston Uni versity. He spent several years In study and research in Europe. He was the chaplain of the Eighteenth and Fifth Massachusetts infantry and was in the battle of Bull Run, Yerktown, etc. He went to New York in 1863 and engaged in journalism. He was the editor of the Christian TiuMs in 1863, and of the Epis copalian in 1864, —65. He also edited the Magazine of American History (1822 — 1883). He has written and published thirty or more volumes on historical and religious subjects. HU book on “The Pre-Columbian Discovery of America” created wide-spread discussion at home and abroad. He wrote an anonymous novel entitled “The Rector of Rocks burg” under the name of William Hick ing. Dr. DeCosta ha* been the pastor of his present church for about six years. During that time, as indeed all his life “since I was a boy,’* as he expressed it, he has been an indefatigable worker in and out of his church, and is to-day one of the ablest and most popular preachers in the metropolis. He was the prime mover in church temperance work and was one of the original premoters and organizers of the Church Temperance Society, of which he was the first secreta ry. Dr. DeCosta was one of the original movers in the White Cross Society, and is its president. The first branch in this country was organized in February, 1884. Several branches have grown from the parent tree. Besides his exacting duties in church and other religious work, Dr. DeCosta has for years been an active par ticipant in the. discussion of social ques tions, reform movements, and the rela tions between capital and labor. He has often addressed wqrkingtnen on the lat ter subject, and has always sought to im press upon their minds the value of char acter among the laboring classes, and has told them that without that indispensi ble requisite all their movements for the betterment of thair condition • would result in ignominious failure. During the recent labor troubles he took a lively interest in expressing ,his views on the subject. Dr. DeCosta is of striking per sonal appearance. His high forehead and intellectual face 6hows that he is a deep thinker and hard student. Asa preacher he has great ability and elo quence. PROTECTING THEIR RIGHTS. Probably no concern in the country has adhered more strictly to the determination to achieve success by the liberal use of printer’s ink than has the Brown Chemi cal Company of Baltimore, Md. Starting business about five years ago, they have expended over $1,500,000 in the prepara tion and circulation of printed matter, more than half of which has been paid for newspaper advertising. All this has been done to make known the virtues of their celebrated Brown’s Iron Bitters. As might be expected, very large sales have resulted from this enormous outlay. In fact, Brown’s Iron Bitters is about as staple in many drug stores as is Dour at the corner grocery. Like all good things, Brown’s Iron Bitters has been largely imitated. There are unscrupulous manu facturers who cater to this sort of trade, and some dealers are so lacking in princi pal, that because a greater profit can be made on fraudulent than on genuine medicines, they are willing to delude the public by pushing off Iron Tonic Bitters and other Tonic Medicines in place of the genuine Brown’s Iron Bitters, which is undoubtedly one of the purest and best medicines known. There frauds have been practiced so extensively, that the Company, finding all other means inade quate, have at last determined to try a little cold law to put a stop to them. Suits for heavy damages have therefore been commenced against Fredrick Stearns <k Cos., Detroit, Mich., who are known as the Non-Secret Medicine Manufacturers, for selling Iron Tonic Bitters; against Meyer Bros. A Ce., of St. Louis, whole sale druggists, for selling Brown’s Iron Tonic, prepared by C. J. Lincoln, Little Rock, Ark., and against Jas. A. Dicken son, a druggist in Baltimore, for selling Iron Tonic Bitters with his name upon the label, which ihedicine was made by Koshland, Hollander A Cos., of that city, and also claimed as an imitation. We wish the Brown Chemical Company eve ry success in these suits, as it is high time those who have pluck enough to carry large enterprises such as theirs to success, should be protected from those who live not by their own genius and effort, bur by copying and counterfeiting things that have been made standard and valuable by others. LIKE REAL DIAMONDS. “Rhine stones, Lake George gems and Brazilian diamonds will haye to shine from a back seat now,” said a leading wholesale jeweler, Paris has produced an imitation of the diamond which even experts find some difficulty in distin guishing from the genuine. It is made ot strass, a variety of Hint glass contain ing more than the usual proportion of lead, and in some cases a smaller propor tion of borax. They is subjected to an intense heat, then plunged into cold water, by which process it is contracted and its refraction power increased. The lumps of strass are then cut and polished precisely the same as the genuine dia mond, a leaden wheel, oil and diamond dust being used. They are graded to conform with carat sizes of genuine stones, and from S2O to SSO per gross. A very small piece of foil, which is attach ed to the centre of the back as a backing, reflects the light into the heart of the spu rious gem. These imitation diamonds are already largely used by actresses snd by ladies whose financial embarrassments have compelled them to part with their genuine stones. MR. DAVIS’S VISIT. To Vi*lt Montgomery on the 28tli and 29th of April—Atlanta on the Ist of May. It is settled that Mr„ Davis will be in Atlanta at the unveiling of the Hill statue. Ihe date of this ceremony has been fixed for Saturday, May Ist. A letter received from Mr. Davis last week called the attention of the Hill sfatue committee to the fact that Major Reese, of Montgomery, had called on him and notified him that the date of the Montgomery celebration was changed from the 26th to the 29th, and that he wrote this in order that there might be no confusion in the dates for the ceremonies at Montgomery and Atlanta. He added that one date would suit him as well as another. The committee thereupon de cided that May Ist was the best day. Mr. Davis will reach Atlanta on April 30th. He will be the guest of of Mrs? Hill, on Peachtree street. It is proba ble that his daughter will accompauy him. The committee has not decided on the programme for Mr. Davis’s visit. It is desirable that while there should be no formal demonstration, that every facility will be extended to the people of Geor gia and the adjoining States for looking upon the face of Mr. Davis once more and of testifying to their love for him. l’he crowd in the city on May Ist will undoubtedly be the largest ever known. Special rate* will be made on all the trains leading into Atlanta. The pro gramme for the unveiling of the statue will be worthy of the great occasion, worthy of the great whose name is commemorated, and Worthy of the great man who comes to do him honor. The programme will be printed In detail as soon as it is arranged. ARRANGING FOR HIS VISIT. The following, taken from the Mont gomery Advertiser , being an interview with Colonel Reese, who has just re turned from a yislt to Mr. Davis, at Beauvoir, will be read with interest. Cel. Reese says: “I went to Beauvior, saw Mr. Davis, and arranged dates for his visit to Mont gomery on the 27th, 28th and 29th. “Mr. Davis will arrive here on the evening of the 27th, at 7:55, and will be received with a salute of 100 guns. Prep arations are being made for a grand dis play of fire-works, which will be under the immediate supervision of Mr. H. B. Metcalf, who has been appointed chair man of the committee on fire-works. The remainder of the committee will be announced later, “The programme will be about as fol lows: On the morning of the 28th, at say 11 o’clock, Mr. Davi9 and other dis tinguished guests, will be escorted by visiting and local military companies to Clisby’s park, where a stand will be erected, and Mr. Davis, General Gordon, and others, will deliver addresses, at the conclusion of which the military bodies will escort the distinguished gentlemen back to the Exchange hotel. That’s what will be done on the 28th. About noon on the 29tn, Mr. Davis will formally lay the corner stone of the Alabama conlederate monument, on the capitol hill, in which ceremony he will be assisted by Generals Gordon, Buell aud Rosecrans. “I had several long conversations with Mr. and Mrs. Davis, and about this visit and we talked very freely over the per sons whom Mr. Davis would be pleased to have invited, and prominent among the Northern Generals were Generals Don Carlos Buell and Rosecrans. These gentlemen will be invited, and I hope they will find it convenient to be pres ent. “I bring back with me a few memen tos of Mr. Davis, which I obtained from Mrs. Davis after much solicitation. The most important is some of the hair that was cut from hi* head at the time he was imprisoned in Fortress Monroe. At the time this hair was cut from Mr. Davis’s head the commandant of the fort de manded that the locks should be turned over to him, but Mr. Davis refused to do so, claiming the hair as his property, which claim was allowed. “Another artie’e given me by Mrs. Davis is a pocket knife which has been carried by Mr. Davis for twenty-three years. “I don’t know what disposition 1 shall make of these articles, but Mrs. Davis gave them to be used for the Con federate monument, in whatever manner that may be thought best. They can be seen at Stake’s jewelry store. “Mr. Davis and the other invited guests will stop at the Exchange, Mr. West having very kindly tendered ac commodations for the party. “Tickets will be issued and placed on sale some time early in April, and I want every one who has any pride in Montgomery, in Alabama, or in the South, to do everything possible to make this the grandest event in the historj’ of the city and the State. BAKING POWDERS, Interesting Tests Made by the Govern ment Chemists. Dr. Edward G. Love, the Analytical Chemist for the Government, has made some interesting experiments as to the comparative Value of baking powders. Dr. Love’s tests were made to determine what brands are the most economical to use, and as their capacity lies in their leavening power, tests were directed solely to ascertain the available gas of each powder. Dr. Love’s report gives the following: Name of the Strength Baking Powders. Cubic inches Gas per each ounce of powder. “Royal” (absolutely pure) 127.4 “Patapsco” (alum powder) ~..125.2* “Rnmford’a” (phosphate) freeh 122.5* “Qumford’s” (photphate) old 32.7* “Hanford’s None Such,” fresh 121 6 “Hanford’s None Such.” old 84.35 “Redhead’s” 117.0 “Charm” (alum powder) 116.9* “Amazon” (alum powder) 111.9 “Cleveland’s” (contains lime) 110.8 “Sea Foam” •. 107.9 “Czar’ ’ 106.8 “Dr. Price’s” (contains lime) 102.6 “Snow Flake”,(Groff's, St. Paul) 101.88 “Lewis’ Condensed 98 2 “Congress” yeast *. 97.5 “C. E. Andrews A Co.’s” (contains alum). .78.17* “Hecker’s” 92.5 “Gillets” 84.2 “Bulk” 80.5 In his report, the Government Chem ist says: “In regard all aim powders , very unwholesome. Phosphate and lartarie Acid powders liberate their gas too free ly in process of baking, or under vary ing climatic changes suffer deteriora tion.” Dr. H. A. Mott, the former Govern ment Chemist, after a careful and elabo rate examination of the various Baking Powders of commerce, reported to the Govenment in favor of the Royal brand. Prof. McMurtrie, late chief chemist for the U. S. Government at Washing ton, says: “The chemical tests to which I have submitted the Royal Bak ing Powder, prove it perfectly health ful, and free from every deleterious sub stance.” PERCHERON HORSES. Arrival at New Yurkoftlie Latest Impor tation of Mr. Walters. Mr. Wm. T. Walters was in New York Thursday looking after his recent pur chase of Percheron horses. They will be brought to Baltimore by the inland route of steamers. Of the twenty-four Per cherons imported, thirteen are mares and eleven stallions. All of the animals from the Department de l’Orne, where the Percheron beed is the purest. Only one or two of the collection is more than four years old, almost all of them being very young. They are all gray in color, of various shades, and fine examples of their race, large of size, strong of limb, and stylish of carriage, and their clean cut heads ot fine bone show the Arabian blood which flows in their veins. One of the stallions is a yearling, already fif teen hands high, while one, called very properly Goliah, is three years old and stands seventeen and three-quarter hands high. The mares are from two to six years old, and from sixteen to sixteen and three-quarter hands high. Only one of tjiem has been bred. The Percheron horse is the cross of a Norman and an Arabian. When Napo lean was laying out post routes across France, he looked about for horses which, while strong enough to pull the heavy mail coaches, would be light enough to travel rapidly. It was decided to breed Arabian stallions to Norman mares, and stock farmers for raising the draught horses were placed in the little district of Le Perche. Horses hred on those farms were theretore called Per cherons. A pure-bred Percheron has the small head and ears of his original Arabian lather, with the size and strength of his Norman mother. His legs when Seen from behind or in front look very thin. From the side, however, they a;e very broad, the bones of the leg being placed directly in a line, thus making the leg flat instead of round. A pure-bred Percheron is always black when toaled, but becomes gray when about three years old, A black Percheron is considered not to be pure blood. The adaptation of Percheron horses to draught purposes here, and especially to farm work, is admitted wherever they have been tried. When Mr. Walters be gan to import them into this country none of the draught horses of this city had any cross of Percheron blood. Now more than one-third of them in and around the city have more or less Per cheron blood in their veins. The Per cheron has a quick action, a hardy con stitution, and is easily kept, while his hoofs do not split upon American pave ments as do those of other imported hor ses. In France the get of a blooded stal lion and a Percheron mare is the fashion able carriage horse, and the same horse, under the name of “French carriage horse,” has recently found favor in this country. The two Napoleons took great interest in maintaining the breed of French hor ses, and the government stallions, after wintering in Le Perche, which was con sidered the district best adapted to horse breeding, were sent through the country during the summer months aud bred to the best mares. Premiums were also giveji to the owners of good stallions, and Sultan, now owned by Mr. Walters, brought his French owner a small hut steady income from the government. The government stud stables are still maintained, the principal stable being at Pin, formerly one of the hunting castles of Louis XVI. NORWOOD ON SILVER. In the House of Representative* Last Week. Norwood of Georgia in a dry, sarcastic manner, bore testimony to the wonderful knowledge possessed by all men on the question of finance, and then paid his re spects in a humorous manner to several of the gentlemen who had preceded him in debate, especially addressing himself to a satirizing of the speech of Findlay of Maryland. In quaint, discursiye ways, he defended the standard dollar from the charge of dishonesty made by the gold men, and attributed the attacks made on it to the influence of Great Britian. Lombard street said “The Amer ican dollar is only worth 80 cents,” and Wall street repeated “The American dol dar is only worth 80 cents.” Lombard street said “The American dollar is a fraud and a lie.” Lombard street said “The American dollar is nothing but bullion,” and Wall street likewise re- peated the slander and said, “Yes, the American dollar is ffbthing but bullion.” One hundred years ago there had been some rebels in the country who had re corded in an almost forgotton manuscript the declaration that Congress should coin money of the United States and regulate the value thereof. Prior to that the King had coined the money, and should the gentleman be condemned for maintaining that coin of the United States should be regulated by Congress and not by Great Britian and Lombard street? While the United States saved the Queen the trouble of coining its money, she regulated its value. The country had escaped from the tyranny of the British crown only to fall under the despotism of British gold. He then defined his posi tion on the pending question, pointing out the difficulties and dangers which at tended an advance or retreat, and main taining that the wisest course was to al low the existing law to remain un changed. SOUTHERN IRON. The readjusted railroad rates have not stopped the shipment of either southern pig iron or southerh Ore. Iron ore is car ried from Chattanooga to the Philadelphia wharf at $4.51 a ton, and pig iron from Birmingham at a lower rate. The route is by rail to Savannah and by the water to Philadelphia. The Philadelphia Re cord says a large iron water-pipe manu facturer of Philadelphia has closed a contract for a second lot of 10,000 tons of southern pig iron. Among other large consumers of southern iron are several large stove manufacturers, and the car wheel works of Wilmington Delaware. The movement of southern irou north ward is not a deluge as yet, but it is strong enough to cause considerable anxiety among the Pennsylvania irou makers. They look ahead and are troubled. Were it not for the costly plants in Ohio and Pennsylvania many an iron manufacturer in those states would be glad to open works where iron can be made at ten dollars a ton. The localities that can make the cheapest iron will become the iron centers of the country in the long run; for there is not much sentiment in the iron trade, and iron-makers who are about to make new investment i are uot apt to be deceived.— Constitution.

SPIIUTUALISM AS A SCIENCE. An Ex-Wall Street Broker Thinks it Capa ble of Great Possibilities. Louisville Special to New York World.] Charles Dawborn, formerly a Wall street broker, now a spiritualist lecturer, and probably the ablest member of the association now in session here, said to day : “I am inclined to be skeptical. For eighteen months I sat alone for an hour in my darkened room and underwent wonderful experiences with powers I could not explain, but was not convinced. My arm would grow cold and move in voluntarily. One day I sat in my office with my arm on the table when a strange feeling came over it, and my hand wrote of itself, “You are being robbed.” It was so. Later l was in the lumber busi ness. My hand wrote one day at One bee: “Oo to Montreal.” I went, and led by an irresistible influence, demanded that a cargo of lumber we had already to start, be branded again. It was a risk of $3,840 damage for delay if nothing was wrong. The lumber had been branded one grade too high all around, and I saved my company $20,000, and the govern ment official who had been bribed by the mill owners had to pay the expenses. Spiritualism is a science, not a religion, and I believe it has great possibilities.” Mr. Dawborn’s belief that spiritualism is a science antagonizes many mediums and other believers. lie created a sensa tion the other night by attacking from the rostrum the frauds and inconsisten cies of alleged spiritualists. He criti cised sharply Mrs. Gladings, of Phila delphia. HE "WOULD NOT HE SWINDLED. Atlanta Constitution.] A funny story wn told me regarding one of those doughty knights of the sheep shears and brand iron, who flourished in the wilds of southern Georgia in the olden time. His name Wayne, and a great and good man was he. There were but fourteen men in his county, and twelve of them were his sons. Asa mat ter ol course, he had a waik-over at the election, and came out with flying col ors, aoluiy elected member of the Geor gia legislature. He owned the swiftest nag in those parts, and he was always in the lead when the cavalade of Solons rode toward Milledgeville. One time, however, he was late. The legislature had been rn session three days, and all were getting anxious regarding Hon. Mr. Wayne. At length, just as they were discussing the propriety of appointing a committee of inquiry, Wayne came rid ing over the hill, driving a great flock of geese ahead of him. The house adjourn ed to investigate the matter, and as soon as the quaekers were corralled, the old man explained: “Ye see,” said he, “when I wus up here to Milledgeville last session, turkeys wus awful scarce, so L decided to bring some on speeyla f ion this trip. I bought a whole passel, aud when I got as fur as the Ocmulgee that rascally ferryman wanted to charge me ferryage. So I jest tuck ’em right back to my settlement and swappeij ’em off for geese, so that I could git even with that ferryman. He was obliged to put me over free, and I jest made the geese swim it. I hain’t agoin’ to let ’em swindle me a6 long as I can help it.” HOW ADVERTISING PAYS. Detroit Free Press.] A woman about forty years old, hav ing A peculiar glint in her eye and, a fighting jaw, came into the counting room of the Free Press yesterday and brusquely said : “I want to stop an ad vertisement.” “Yes’m; which one is it?” “It’son the sixth page and reads that fifty good-looking girls are wanted to canvass for orders for a fast-selling article.” “Yes’m ; get all the girls you wanted?” “Oh, it was my husband who put it in, and he got more’n he wanted I guess. 1 went into his office yesterday afternoon and found sixteeu of them there at once, aud when l got through with the crowd there was just a barrel ot hair-pins, hats, paper cufts and paper rags. If you ever want any testi mony as to how advertising pays just call on me for a certificate.” A prison visitor opened a cell door at Moyamensing, l’a., the other day. and was accosted by an inmate with : “Can’t you give me a Presbyterian newspaper?” “I’ll get you one,” was the repiy; “but are you a Presbyterian?” “Well,” an swered the jail bird, “I am a sort of Presbyterian.” Nothing equals Curry’s Cough Cifre tor recent colds, coughs and the early stages of consumption.
