PLAIN
TRUTHS
The blood is the foundation of
life, it circulates through every part
of the body, and unless it is pure
and rich, good health is impossible.
If disease has entered the system
the only sure and quick way to drive
it out is to purify and enrich the
blood.
These simple facts are well
known, and the highest medical
authorities agree that nothing but
iron will restore the blood to its
natural condition; and also that
all the iron preparations hitherto
made blacken the teeth, cause head
ache, and are otherwise injurious.
Brown’s Iron Bittirs will thor
oughly and quickly assimilate with
the blood, purifying and strengthen
ing it, and thus drive disease from
any part of the system, and it will
not blacken the teeth, cause head
ache or constipation, and is posi
tively not injurious.

Having lost three daughters by the
terrible disease, under the care of
eminent physicians, I was loth to
believe that anything could arrest
the progress of the disease, but, to
my great surprise, before mv daugh
ter had taken one bottle of Brown’s
Iron Bitters, she began to mend
and now is quite restored to former
health. A fifth daughter began to
show signs of Consumption, and
when the physician was consulted
he quickly said “Tsnics were re
quired;” and when informed that
the elder sister was taking Brown’s
Iron Bitters, responded “that is
a good tonic, take it.”

j The Temperance Question Not to be Set
tled bjr Legislation.
To the Editor of The Free Press:
It is very probable many ol the readers
of This Free Press may never have heard
of the Right Reverend Anthony W.
Thorold, Lord Bishop of Rochester,
England, now on a visit to this country.
He was appointed to the bishopric in
1877 by Mr. Disraeli. His work among
the poor in London has gained for him
an enviable reputation. He comes to
America as the arehbishop of Canterbury,
bearing a letter of congratulation to the
church in this country. lie was selected
because his diocese is one of the oldest in
England, having been created in the
seventh century. This is his seventh visit
to the United States. He has preached
and lectured in many of the western and
northern states, but has never been
south. He says, most of nij' lectures have
been on the “Temperance Question,”
as viewed from our stand-point. The
movement is making great progress in
England, and he lias reason to believe in
this country also. Our object is to Induce
people to drink moderately. There is no
harm in moderate drinking, but, if a
man allows the habit to develop into
drunkenness, his only'- hope is through
total abstinence. Our “temperance work”
in England was divided at first, but now
it is concentrated under one head and is
exerting an influence that is really sur
prising.
All classes of the people, from the
highest to the lowest, are encourag
ing the movement. There is nothing
narrow or fanatic in our efforts. The
appeal to the common sense of men show
them how beneficial it is not to drink to
excess, and then not to let the whole
thing rest with their judgments. In a
recent lecture he says, the question of
temperance seemed to mt the people afire
with enthusiasm, but that this enthusi
asm would do more harm than good, un
less it were in moderation.
“A great deal might be said for and
against legislation in this matter. In
America you go faster and farther :u
law-making than the English, but the
English manage to keep their laws after
they are made. You (speaking of the
Americans) should learn to walk before
you run. You are too much in adyance
of public opinion. It is owing to this
that those of your own people who do
not agree with you laugh at your efforts,
Xn England the laws are restrictive
rather than prohibitory.
Progress Is slow but sure, for public
opinion *s educated up to it. You have
no right to take liberty from the virtuous
and honest to protect the vicious. It is
unjust.
Education is the great factor in this
contest, because it gives to men wider
views of life. Add to this a conscientious
example, inspired by love of God, coun
try, neighbor and self, and you can ac
complish all that you wish. Let every
one bear this In mind, and act accord
ingly.
You think you are under a republic.
Perhaps you are and perhaps you are
not. I think you are ruled by a queen.
The difference between our queen and
your’s is that our’s is an individual, and
your’s is womanhood.
In no country in the world is woman
treated with more respect than in Amer
ica. Let the women of this country take
hold of the temperance issue firmly and
unitedly, and the question is settled.
The bishop further said, the laws of
America, though ahead of the times in
many respects, had .set England a good
example in prohibiting the sale of liquor
to children.
I think, if a little more moderation had
been exercised by our legislature, the
temperance cause would have been great
ly benefited. A Bachelor.
The Democrat of Carrollton, Mo., says:
“On Thursday ‘Jim’ Lawton invited fif
ty n< lghbors to see him beat his own
time of two Y’ears ago, when his wife
baked bread in eight and a quarter min
utes after the wheat was standing in the
field. At 6 minutes and ten seconds af
ter 4 the Buckeye reaper stood at the
corner of the growing wheat. Men'were
stationed every few feet along the line of
grain ready to seize an armful as it fell
from the reaper, and to rush with it to
the thresher closely by. The mill was
just sixteen rods distant. At the drop
of the hat the mules sprang to work, and
in a minute and a half about a peek of
threshed wheat was in the sack and on a
horse that began a race for the mill. A
minute and seventeen seconds later the
flour vaa delivered to Mrs. Lawton, and
in three minutes 55 seconds from the
starting of the reaper the first griddle
cake was eaten. In 4 minutes 30 sec
onds from the starting of the reaper a
pan of biscuits was passed out to the
spectators.”
A San Antonio (Texas) paper says:
“Jack, a young wild hog, was found in
the woods near Lytle station and pre
sented to Mr. F. S. Bellamy. He is
supposed to have been about three weeks
old when caught. Mr. Bellamy began
patiently to train him. After a few
lessons Jaek had learned his name, and
at length he began to follow his master.
When Mr. Bellamy is seated at his desk
Jack lies down at his feet, will allow no
one to touch him. and at night he follows
his master to his bedside, and if he can
not stealthily get into the bed he will lie
down by the side of it and sleep until
morning. If an intruder steps into the
room he will dart at him with all the
ferocity of his wild nature. At the table
he stands at his master’s side and gets a
part of anything he eats. Jack is a ver
itable tippler. After drinking whisky
he smacks his lips and makes signs for
more.”
THE CREW OF THE PROTEUS.
Serious Chsrgei Made by m Soldier Con
nected With the Greely Relief
Expedition.
Washington, October 4.—The Repub
lican publishes this morning an inter
view had by one of its reporters with
Artificer Moritz, of the 17th Infantry, a
member of the Greely relief expedition,
as to the conduct of the crew of the
Proteus after the wreck of that vessel.
Moritz is quoted in this interview as hav
ing said that the crew were regular pi
rates, who stole everything they could
lay their hands on—valuable articles
from the boxes thrown on the ice when
the ship was sinking, the soldiers’ cloth
ing, buffalo overcoats and robes, and
liquor, on which they got roaring
drunk within an hour after the Proteus
went down.
He is quoted as having said,in response
to the question why the soldiers did not
prevent this sort of conduct: We
couldn’t. There were twenty-three of
them all told and only eight of us. Be
sides that they all had their guns, and
wo only saved two —n repeating riflo
which I had bought in Chicago, and a
Winchester which one of the other men
had. All the army guns went down in
the Proteus. We had to treat the sailors
rather carefully. There were one or two
decent meu among them,but the rest were
pirates.”
The CAPTAIN A TRUE MAN.
To the inquiry whether Captain Pike
stood by his sailors in their robberies, he
is quoted as having replied : “No, Cap
tain Pike was a gentleman, and the first
mate, who was his son, was a gentleman,
but they had to depend on the crew and
couldn’t control them. No, Captain
Pike didn’t uphold his men in their ras
cality. I heard him say to Lieutenant
Garlington : You’ve got a lot of men, but
I have got a lot of dirty dogs, who are
too mean to live.”
When asked if the conduct of of the
Proteus crew bad prevented the party
from remaining at tbe Jyittleton island to
wait for the Yantjic, h.e js reported as
having said: “l think with the kind men
they were, if we bad staid there, and
there not have been enough food, not one
of OUT party would have lived to see the
spring. I think sd fr <> m the yowling I
heard, which amounted to threats. In
my opinion, if we had anything
men wanted they would have taken it.
If it had ever come to the point of actual
want we W'ould have suffered. Those
sailors T5 7 ere the greatest cowards I ever
saw. When u l .‘ ft re was danger they
would pray and do nothing. When they
could not steal they w r ould beg. They
were a bad lot, and, in the way I have
told you, they may be said to have
forced us to leaye Littleton island.”
AN AUTHOR’S TROUBLE.
Georg© Hoey’g Unfortunate Mental Condi
tion.
New York, October 4.—The follow ing
advertisement appeared in the morning
newspapers: “The public are cautioned
against cashing or negotiating any drafts,
checks, or paper of any description made
or indorsed by George Hoey, as his men

You see, if he should keep on in this

“Can you assign no immediate cause
for Mr. Hoey’s affliction ?”
“None, unless it be success followed
by business reverses. He is a talented
young man, and as a lawyer would with
out doubt have made his mark; but he
showed a decided preference for literary
pursuits, and is not unknown as a dra
matic author and editor. Had he been
content to follow up the success of his
drama, ‘A Child of the State,’ by writ
ing others, or to Lave gone on in his
career as an actor, improving himself by
hard study, I should have been quite as
proud of him, but he undertook to man
age a company of his own and lacked the
requisite executive ability to this end,
and the consequence was a disastrous
financial failure. lam inclined to be
lieve his success as a playwright first
turned his head to a greater or less ex

trouble more serious.”
George Hoey is a bright, talented and
affectionate gentleman, and the return of
his malady, of which it was hoped he
w r as well rid, is deeply regretted.
The Boston Gazette says: “A tiny—
very tiny—pig was served at a fashiona
ble dinner the other evening, and when
he was placed on the table a howl went
up lrom the assembled rank and fashion
surrounding him. The little beast stood
on his own hoofs in the midst of a bed of
Marshal Neil roses; in his rosy snout
was the customary lemon, aud twisted in
his small tail was a blue pond lily, lie
was pronounced too sweet for anything,
was duly cut up and tasted, and the
health of the Chinese cook was duly
diunkiu champagne.”
A CARD.
From Mrs. “Stonewall” Jackson.
To the Editor of the Journal-Observer:
Upon my return from my recent visit
to the noith, I And 6ome comments which
are not entirely just, from the southern
press, and in justice to myself and my
daughter, I must correct some statements
which have been made. After joining
Governor and Mrs. Jarvis, who were go
ing to take the same trip we were (and
where could we find a more pleasant and
suitable party to travel with than the
Governor of my native state and his ex
cellent wife?) an invitation was extended
to us to become the guests ot the state of
Massachusetts.
I was advised by southern friends to
accept it; and it was urged that we would
not be the guests of Govornor Butler, but
of the state, which represented many
good and noble people. While in Boston
we were entertained at a hotel, and did
not cross the threshold of General Butler.
Justiee, however, compels me to say that
he was wanting in no courtesy to the
guests of his state. The people of Bos
ton, and at every point we visited in the
north, certainly gave evidence that my
husband’s name was held in snch honor
and reverence, that my heart could not
but be touched with tender and grateful
emotion. 1 was told they admired him
for “his moral grandeur,” “his exalted
piety;” that he was the “bravest man
the war produced on either side,” and
that they were “proud of him as an
American citizen,” etc. Surely there
must be enough of chivalry and right
feeling on the part of all true southerners
to cast no blame upon me for having been
the means of evoking such sentiments as
these; and while every instinct of my
nature is loyalty and devotion to the
south, I can testify that there are many
excellent Christians at the north, who
are anxious to blot out all sectional differ
ences, and extend to us the love and
kindness which makes a nation “that
happy people whose God is the Lord.”

THE APPEINO SWORD.
Sayaanali News. I
The sword which was voted to Colonel
Daniel Appling by the Georgia legisla
ture nearly three quarters of a century
ago, and which, owing to the death of
that officer before it could be made, has
. v ,ri the executive department, was
by vote of the
transferred to the custody of the v '**
Historical Society. As it was through
the eflorts of Maj. Sidney 'Herbert
( Chatham”) the Atlanta representa
tive of the Morning News , that this ap
propriate disposition of the state relic
was made, Governor McDaniel has ap
pointed him his representative to present
the sword to the Historical Society. Maj.
Herbert will probably visit Savannah
early next month to execute his mission.
He may be present at the next meeting
of the society.
Col. Daniel Appling, to whom Georgia
voted this sword, was born in Columbia
county in 1787, and died at Fort Mont
gomery, Ala., in 1817. He was brevetted
lieutenant colonel in 1817 for gallant con
duct in capturing a superior force of the
British at Sandy Creek, N. Y., and in
the same year was brevetted colonel for
distinguished services at the battle of
Plattsburg, N. Y. In this battle, with a
small force of regulars and a hastily as
sembled bodj r of New York militia, he
repulsed the attack of the British army
which was acting in conjunction with its
fleet. He was a very promising officer,
and died at the early age of 30.
October elections have dwindled in
number of late years, and the present
month will furnish but two state contests,
those of of Ohio and lowa. Both occur
on the 9th. lowa will choose its govern
or and other state officers, part of its sen
ate and all its house of representatives.
Ohio will choose its governor and other
state officers and both branches of its
legislature, and in addition it will vote
upon three proposed amendments of the
state constitution, one of them affecting
changes in the judicial system, and the
other two presenting a choice between
the sale of intoxicating liquors and ils
regulation. Both canvasses have been
spirited, and the one in Ohio has been
enlivened by a series of incidents hav
ing little necessary connection with the"
main issue between th'e two parties.
And when you come to think of it, Mr.
Blount is one of the tew southern con
gressmen who have made a national rep
utation. — Constitution.
Yes, but such a reputation as it is was
made by Don Piatt’s pen sketches of
congressmen, in which he said Mr.
Blount was so constituted, mentally and
otherwise, that he could look through a
key-hole with both eyes open. No other
southern congressman desires a national
reputation of this kind, and Mr. Blount
has no other. —Macon Telegraph.
The rotund Robeson, whose reputa

A man in Williamsport, N. Y., claims
that he has invented a street car motor
which weighs only 2,500 pounds and can
be run for S6OO a year, which is noise
less, and which will answer in every way
better than horses and mules. Probably
U is a motor like Keely’s which this man
has invented.
