IT GIVES US GREAT PLEASURE TO NOTIFY OUR PATRONS THROUGHOUT TUB
country that our MAMMOTH BRICK WAREHOUSE which we have just completed is
now ready for business. We have the best appointed and most perfectly equipped compartment
warehouse in the South. Being built entirely of brick, tin covered, provided with elevators for
hoisting cotton beyond any possibility of danger of damage by water in llood periods; with hy
drants, hose, and an elaborate system of perforated pipes extending through each compartment,
together with other appliances for quickly extinguishing iires, we make bold to say no other ware
house can offer better security from dauger from every source than we are now prepared to do.
We have now convenient and commodious storage room, and such complete protection against loss
l>y flood or fire, that we can almost guarantee against these accidents without risk to our
selves.
We would remiud our friends that for a number of years we have maintained the best interior
cotton market in the South, and we have little doubt that in the future we will increase our repu
tation for high prices and liberal dealing. It is well known among manufacturers the world over
that Rome, cottons are of very superior qualitiy, and in all markets they readily command a pre
mium. It is well for our friends who buy from the uplands to bear this in mind, as by placing
their consignments here they get the benefit of orders at high prices sent here from “Coosa bottom
cottons.” W ith ripened experience and increased facilities, we are confident of our ability to han
dle shipments in the most satisfactory manner. It is our rule to follow written instructions to the
letter; where none are given, “quick sales and prompt returns” is our motto.
We will, if desired, furnish our regular market quotations throughout the season. Should you
fail to receive them please notify us and we will add your name to our permanent list.
We return thanks to our patrons at last seasou for giving us such liberal shipments. We
would assure them that we again want their business, and will merit it by faithful attention to
their interests. Respectfully,
ROUNS AYILI E & BROTHERS.

THE POTATO IN FRANCE.
A Novel Centenary Celebration in th*
Pretty Town of Montdidier.
This is au era of centennial celebra
tions, and Frenchmen hare a natural
penchant for commemorating men or
f rents that they may deem worthy of
honor or remembrance. Just now the
town of Montdidier is preparing to
celebrate, with all the eclat possible,
what is termed the Parmentier cen
tenary, but which is in reality the cen
tenary of the introduction of the
potato into France. All the most dis
tinguished men in France are invited
to the fete, which will last for about
ten days. M. Pasteur writes that he
could not think of abandoning his
“chers enrages ” for such a length of
time; M. de Lesseps expresses his re
grets, but has induced the institute to
appoint Baron Larrey to represent
him on the occasion, and M. Chevreul,
the centenarian scientist, laments his
inability to be present, and adds with
naive pathos: “Though I may not be
with yt>u in person, my heart will be
there, as Montdidier is the natal spot
of that dear girl, Mile. Sophie Dava
lette, whom I married in 1818.”
M. Parmentier, who was born 1737,
in Montdidier, and died in 1813, led a
checkered life and made a great sensa
tion in his day. He was at one time
a chemist in the army of Hanover,
and subsequently a prisoner in the
seven years’ war. A disciple of Nol
let, Rouelle and Jussien, he finally
turned his attention to the study of the
potato, and obtained the authorization
of Louis XVI. to cultivate the tuber in
the plain of Sablons, near Paris. The
potato was at that epoch held
in utter contempt in France, and
was considered only as food for
hogs. Parmentier struggled for years
against countless obstacles and difficul
ties in his effort to make the despised
•‘apple of the earth” an article of food,
but his ingenuity finally triumphed.
He prepared a banquet to which he in
vited the leading savants of France, in
order to prove to them the excellence
of the potato and the variety of ways
in which it could be rendered palata
ble. The potato, to the great astonish
ment of the savants, was served in
thirty-three different styles, and when
the banquet was finished it was declared
to be the most delicious of esculents,
and M. Parmentier was famous. It
may be of interest to know the first
course on the menu on that historic oc
casion was styled pommes deter re en
chemise, eommonly called in England
“potatoes served up in their jackets,”
and which on the other side of St.
George’s Channel is vernacularly
known as “praties biled.”
His Majesty Louis XVI. then took up
the cause of M. Parmentier and the
potato. M. Parmentier visited the
King at Versailles, holding a bunch of
potato flowers in his hand. Louis
oflY red him his right hand to shake;
Marie Antoinette permitted him to kiss
liar on both cheeks, and in the evening
at a gala party given in the palace, his
Majesty appeared wearing a bunch of
potato flowers in the royal button-hole.
The triumph of the potato, says the
chronicler of the da}’, was thus conse
crated. The thirty-three styles in
which it was introduced by M. Parmen
tier to the French cuisine have now—
so says Alexander Dumas—reached two
hundred and fifty, and the capabilities
of the humble tuber from Virginia*
have not yet been exhausted in the
hands of the French cook. A statue
was erected to M. Parmentier in his
native city in 1848, in which lie is rep
resented standing erect, holding in his
hand a huge potato-stalk. Ilis body
reposes in Pere la Chaise, Paris, in a
handsome plot surrounded by an iron
railing, and a beautiful monument
stands above it, erected by the chemists
of France. Every year the members ol
the agricultural societies visit this spot
and plant the grave and its surround
ing parterre with potatoes.— Paris Cor.

A BOY’S COURAGE.
How a Plucky Lad Saved Northern India
to tlie British Crown.
Do the lads of this generation de
claim that poetical tribute to youthful
heroism which extols the boy who
“stood on the burning deck, whence all
but him had fled”? When we were
boys there was scarcely a “declamation
day” on which we did not hear it re
cited. It may be that the years since
then have been so freighted with ex
amples of boyish heroism that no boy
now cares for “Casabianca.”
One of these later, and, to our think
ing, more attractive examples of youth
ful heroism occurred at the outbreak
of the Sepoy mutiny in 1857. Just be
fore the awful storm broke, the system
of electric telegraphs had been extend
ed over the surface of British India.
The mutineers rushed to Delhi to seize
upon the old hereditary seat of the
Mohammedan empire, and began cut
ting the throats of Europeans. W'hile
the rattle of cannon and musketry was
rolling around the telegraph office, a
little English boy, moved by a sense of
duty, stuck to his post until he had
telegraphed to the Commissioner at
Lahore. The message announced that
the mutineers had arrived at Delhi,
and had murdered this civilian and
that officer, and wound up with these
signilicant but childlike words: “We’re
off!”
The boy’s courage and sense of duty
saved the Punjab. As soon as the tele
gram reached Lahore, the General in
command of the Sepoys disarmed them.
When they learned of the rising at
Delhi, they were powerless to do any
injury. The General flashed the awful
news to Peshawur. The Hindoostanee
regiments there were also disarmed,
and, though mutineers at heart, were
rendered incapable of harm. Then the
telegraph was cut by the rebels—but
the °boy at Delhi had saved Northern
India to the British crown. The officer
in charge had been killed, but that
brave lad staid long enough at the
instrument to dispatch the warning.

NOVELTIES IN JEWELRY.
Unprecedented Popularity mt Stlm Aden
meats of Every Deeeriptlon.
Personal adornments in silver neve*
attained to so high a degree of perfety
tion as at the present time. Both aft
home and abroad silver jewelry is th
correct kind to associate with walking
suits, traveling suits and seaside dresses.
Among the new thing’s most attractive
is the moonstone jewelry, which con
sist of lace pins and brooches, bonnet
pins, cuff-buttons and other articles in
bright and oxidized silver set with
moonstones. Some of these are in nat
ural colors, others are tinted, some are
plain and others carved. This style
will receive high favor, as the silver
settings are newer than gold ones and
considered quite “chic,” while the
moonstone is also novel
Lace pins and brooches, made of
gold, silver and copper combined, in
rococo effects are very stylish. Some
of these pins bear enameled plaques.
Another old favorite, but still popular,
is the clover-leaf pin in enameled sil
ver. This is tinted in its natural green
hue, following the size and form cor
rectly. It is an admirable example of
line enameled jewelry. Another odd
and pretty pin is one simulating an
antique bracket, from which swings a
little silver lantern, with moonstone
sidelights. There are silver flower
pins set with fancy stones, and a double
bow-pin enameled to represent figured
ribbon.
There is a variety of styles in silver
belts, the newest being a wide silver
band in satin finish. Silver watches
show etched or enameled cases, and
another new style equally attractive is
the watch case decorated with raised
wire work. In this work the surface
is traced with gold and platina wires
set with small stones. Charms for
queen chains and bangles are of fanci
ful character. Some of the noted are
the Campanello bells, made conspicu
ous by the popular actor Ivyrle Bellew,
and the Egyptian Oodja, patronized by
Princess Margueretta, of Italy.
Silver bracelets represent many new
designs, and the bangles with fifteen
or twenty fine wires handsomely en
grossed are much liked.
An article on jewelry says: “It is a
popular error to suppose that the dia
mond is the most valuable of the pre
cious stones. The relative value of the
finer gems places the ruby at the head
of the list, giving the diamond second
place, and following it the sapphire.
What are known as perfect diamonds
are not uncommon, but a perfect ruby
has almost a fictitious value in the
market, as it is generally held at any
price the owner sees fit to ask.” One
very choice stone, a little larger than
an ordinary sized cherry pit, is valued
at $7,000. —Brooklyn Eaqle.
PRECIOUS STONES.
Gems Named After the Places Where
They Were Principally Fonnd.
Many of our stone names have no
more mysterious origin than the name
of the place where they were principal
ly found. The chalcedony is from
Chalcedon, near Constantinople. The
turquois is from Turkey, its chief mart
from Persia. Our agate comes from
Achates, the old name for the river
Drillo, in Sicily, where it is said t# have
been first found. Jet owes its name
to the Latin word for it, gagates, from
Gages, the name of a town and river in
Lycia. For our sard we may choose
between Sardia, which Pliny adopts,
and sered, the Persian for yellowish
red. One derivation connects the topaz
with the name of an Indian town,
where it was found accidentally by
some quarreymen, who mistook it
for alabaster. Another traces it to an
island in the Red sea called Topazus—
from a word signifying to seek, be
cause the said island was so beset with
fogs that navigators had great difficul
ty in finding it. Most of our precious
stones being of foreign importation,
they do not enter into our native
mythology as flowers or animals do,
nor, for the same reason, do they play
a conspicuous part in English poetry.
Pearls sometimes are spoken of as the
tears of fallen angels, or, as Sir Wal
ter Scott says:
“See these pearls that long have slept,
These ■wore tears which naiuds wept;”
with which we may compare Robert
Herrick’s account of rubies:
Some ask'd me where the Rubies grew?
And nothing did 1 say:
But with my finger pointed to
The lips of Julia.
Some ask’d how Pearls did grow, and where?
Then spoke I to my Girie,
To part her lips, and show'd them thera
The Quurelets of Pearl.

WORRIED BY FELINES.
A New Disease Discovered by a Bright
Texas Policeman.
There is a man in Austin who never
uses plain language. He never calls a
spade a spade, but “that sharp instru
ment with which the sturdy granger
lays open the bosom of our mother
earth.” He always calls a cat a feline,
a dog a canine, etc. One morningour
friend went up to a policeman who
thinks he knows every thing, and said:
“1 sav, l am worried to death by
felines; couldn’t sleep a wink last
night.”
The policeman didn’t like to admit
that he di in't know what felines were,
so he scratched his ear and replied, as
if he knew precisely what was the
matter:
“It is sorry to hear it that I am, for
it is a thrublesome complaint.”
“I thought you, being a policeman,
knew some remedy for these accursed
felines. They worry a man to death
at nights.”
“I don’t know, sor, what I kin do
for yez. Perhaps you need some med
icine. 1 was thrubled wid ’em meself
last spring.”
“Thank you for the suggestion. I’ll
go to the drug store and see if they
haven’t got some stuff to kill them
off.”
“ Be very careful, sor, that you don’t
kill yerself by accident, for thin ye
would be guilty of suicide.”— Texas

POISON IN THE ASHES
What the Mt. Lebanon Shakers
Found—lncident in the His
tory of a Quiet Community.
The Mount Lebanon (New
York) Shakers are a quiet com
munity, secluded from the fret
and worry of the outside world.
They are widely known, how
ever, for their strict honor and
probity in business.
The Shakers believe that na
ture has a remedy for every dis
ease. A few have been found—
the rest are as yet unknown.
Many were discovered by acci
dent. Others came to light as
the result of patient experiment
and research.
Nervous Dyspepsia is a com
paratively neiv disease, growing
out of the conditions of modern
life. It is a joint affection of
the digestive organs and of the
nervous system. These two
were formerly treated as sepa
rate ailments, and it was left
for the clear-sighted Shakers
to prove that the basis of this
terrible and often fatal compli
cation lies chiefly in the disord
ered and depraved functions of
digestion and nutrition. They
reasoned thus: —“If we can in
duce the stomach to do its
work, and stimulate the excre
tive organs to drive out of the
body the poisonous waste mat
ters which remain after the life
giving elements of the food
have been absorbed, we shall
have conquered Nervous Dys
pepsia and Nervous Exhaust
ion. And they were light.
Knowing the infallible power
of Shaker Extract (Seigel’s
Syrup) in less complicated
though similar diseases,
they resolved to test it fully
in this. To leave no ground
for doubt they prescribed the
remedy in hundreds of cases
which had been pronounced in
curable—with perfect success
in every instance where their
directions as to living and diet
were scrupulously followed.
Nervous Dyspepsia and Ex
haustion is a peculiarly Ameri
can disease. To a greater or
less extent half the people of
this country suffer from it—
both sexes and all ages. In no
country in the world are there
so many insane asylums filled
to overflowing, all resulting
from this alarming disease. Its
leading symptoms are these:
Frequent or continual head
ache ; a dull pain at the base
of the brain; bad breath; nau
seous eructations; the rising
of sour and pungent fluids to
the throat; a sense of oppress
ion and faintness at the pit of
the stomach; flatulence; wake
fulness and loss of sleep; dis

Shaker Extract (Seigel’s
Syrup) removes by its pos
itive, powerful, direct yet
painless and gentle action upon
the functions of digestion and
assimilation. Those elements
of the food that build up and
strengthen the system are sent
upon their mission, while all
waste matters (the ashes of life’s
fire) which unremoved, poison
and kill, are expelled from the
body through the bowels, kid
neys and skin. The weak and
prostrated nerves are quieted,
toned and fed by the purified
blood. As the result, health,
with its enjoyments, blessings
and power, returns to the suf
ferer who had, perhaps, aband
oned all hope of ever seeing
another well day. . -
