Cheering to the South.
V ashington special to Boston Herald.)
During the late war a large aim
of money was raised by the United
States by direct taxes on the peo
ple of the iisurrectionary stales.
The internal revenue bureau is now
preparing a statement of the
amount so raised, which do«n not
seem heretofore to have been defi
nitely known. The exact amount
is desired by First Comptroller of
the Treasury, Law tenee, wheis pre
paring an opinion, nt the re<p«est of
the secretary of the trenstny, upon
I In* ipiest if m as to whether the act
imposing the direct taxes did not
prov ide for the ret tn n after the w ar
of half of thv taxes collMvd.lo tlir I
states wneretn they wor nolurted.’
Cursory examination of the net in
question would lend to the belief
that congress intended that half of
he money should be returned, but
the secretary of the trearury is not
sure that the act will hear this con
struction without further action on
the partof congress. If ('ompt roll
er Law renep should decide' that the
act referred to makes an appropria
tion of one half of the taxes collect
ed to the states from which they
were collected, it would be quite a
w indfall for the southern states.
Hadn't Lost Faith.
Wnll Street News]
In days gone by a Philadelphia
Quaker, who was also alarge ship
owner, suddenly dropped a 1 his in
surance on his vessels, and when
beset by the agents to explain his
singular conduct, he said:
“I have come to the conclusion to
depend upon the Lord for the safe
ty of my ship.
No arguments nor explanation
con'd move him from his purpose,
and things went along for five or
six months without, a loss. Then one
ship was destroyed by lire, nnd an
other was driven ashore, ami close
upon the heels < f these disasters
came the destruction of a valuable
cargo. It was then that, the oid
man sent for an agent and said:
x “Friend Thompson, the Rover is
about to sail for Eiv erpe^d.i’
> «¥««.” . —
“And thee may make out a poli
cy for $50,000 on her.”
“Yes.”
“And thee may also make ready
to insure her cargo.”
“.Just so.”
“I do not desire thee to ua^r
star.d,” continued the old man,
“that I have lost faith in the Lord,
but it is more to save him the both
er of keeping track of my sailing
property.”
A prominent. Philadelphia physi
cian is of the opinion that mouth
breathing is a very bad habit. He
says that many ills which are as .
eribed to other causes are in reality
due to the effects of brathining
though the mouth. Nature intend
ed the nose to be used for inhaling
and exhaling the atmosphere and
fitted it up for that purpose. The
sir is moistened, warmed and puri
tied by its passage through the
nose, whereas when taken directly
through the mouth into the lungs
it is apt, by reason of its lack of
moisture, impurity or improper
temperature, or all three, to act as
an irritant, especially in the larynx,
and in the air cells of the lungs.
Mouth-breathing ofter sets in the
system a condition that gives the
symptoms of dyspepsia, consump
tion and other diseases.
The Law and Newspaper Subscri-
At least once a year the majority
of newspaper subscribers will find
it profitable to read the following
summary of legal decisions:
First. Subscribers who do not
give express notice to the contrarv
are considered as wishing to con
tinue their subscription.
Second. If subscribers order the
discontinuance of their periodicals,
the publisher may continue to send
them until all arrearages are paid.
Third. That if subscribers refuse
to take their periodicals from the
office to which they have been di
reeled, they are held responsible
till they have settled their bill and
ordered their paper discontinued.
Fourth. If subscribers move to
other places without informing the
publisher, and the papers arc sent
to the former directions they are
' held responsible.
Fifth. The courts have decided
that refusing to take periodicals
from the office, or removing and
leaving them uncalled for, is prima
facie evidence of intentional fraud.
1 Sixth. Any person who receives

w het her he has ordered it or not, is

Cincinnati’s Prophet.
Cincinnati has a prophat, and his
name ia Jas. M. Swormstedt. His
predictions, winch are made, he
aflirms, that his “fellow mortals
may be led to escape these great
judgment,” are as follows:
A gieat financial panic will sweep
like wildfire over the United Stales
some time in 1883, w hich will pros
trate all industries, paralyze all
business, ami throw out of employ
ment. every man, woman and child
’trJlhe country.
**Tl»* cumdilbm of the swurkipg
•dasSeM will become so de spin «te
that they will rise up like a flood,
and sweep away both church and
State and fill the land with violence.
Satan, in afHieting the world like
he did Job, will next bring the
great whirl w ind of Jet» miah, xxv,
32, which will slay “from one end
of thv earth even to the other end
ol the earth,” Joel, ii, 1-11, con
tains some diradful particulars of
this destructive whirlwind.
Satan will soon wheel a fleet of
seven great comets into line. One
will plunge into the sun, producing
a gieat outburst of solar light, and
heat. The moon will be as light as
the sun and the light of the sun
will be increased sevenfold. The
other six will affect the rivers, the
sea, the earth, and the air.
Tremendous snowfalls, hailstones
of enormous size, awful floods and
flaming lire will come to complete
the dark picture.
There will be great earthquakes
in divers places. The most dread
ful and destructive one of all will
be in the hitter part of 1884.
As the Lord restoied double to
Job so w ill He to our land. It will
arise Phmmx like from the ashes of
it.* ruins, and, m the latter part of
1888, will he made like the Garden
of Eden.
The millennium, or reign of
Christ, will begin in the United
States, forty years before the rest
of the world is made new by the
good King. ,
Free homes, free supplies and
everlasting life will be given to all
who will believe in this good Ku g
and flee to this place of refuge from
the persecutions of Satan and the
future Antichrist wbum ne is to set
up over the revived Roman empire.
The Lord is to form a vast camp
around the great pyramids of
Egypt, and al the sounding of a
great trumpet the angels are to
gather his elect there from one end
of heaven to the other (see Joel, ii,
II; Isaiah, xix, 19; Psalms, xxvii,
5). All who will turn to God with
their whole heart and love the ap
pearing of Christ will be superna
iurally protected there until the
time of trouble is oyer, that is from
the autumn of 1883 to the spring of
1885. After that a new set of
events open up, which are too long
to recount just now.
The Drummer’s Backet.
Editors Birmingham Age’. Have
you ever heard of the “Drummer’s
Racket?” I was traveling over the
Louisville and Nashville railroad a
few nights since, and occupied a
seat immediately in front of a com
mercial drummer, I was on my way
from Mobile to this city. 'When
about forty miles from Montgome
ry, a young lady entered the train,
accompanied by a few friends, all
of whom bide her adieu, and left
her to pursue her journey alone.
fWA ^gjtopn as D‘« traio started, tbo
leaned forward and asked
me if I had ever seen the “drum
mer’s racket.” I replied I had not.
He then arose, walked to where th^
young lady was seated, held out his
hand and with well-feigned surprise
exclaimed, “Why how d’ye do!”
The young lady gave him her hand,
but said she had no recollection of
ever having met him before. The
drummer then gave her one of his
cards and asked her if she remem
bered the name; and when she an
swered in the negative, he begged
f<»r one of her cards, which she eave
him. Ht read the name, looked in
credulous, said e hail made a mis
take, apologized for bis intrusion,
and kept talking to her until they
reached Montgomery. The young
lady seemed pleased with his atten
tions and requested him to call on
her in Montgomery.
In speaking aftei wards of what
he had done, the drummer remarked
that his vocation debarred him of
the pleasure of meeting young la
dies in society, and the only way he
could converse with any of the fair!
sex was “to catch ’em on the fly.” I
To such impertinence and rude
ness are young ladies subjected who
travel alone. Citizen.
A Treasury Talk.
Atlanta Constitution.]
“Can you tell me the cost of the
recent session of the legislature?”

paper covered with figures. The
total cost of the session was *40,-

is in her present healthy condition.

amounting to $261,288,50. On the

of interest for the year of $645,440
besides the retiring of SIOO,OOO of
bonds.' 1 ’
Mahone in the Dumps.
Washington, Jan. 4.
These dispatches some time ago
recorded the fact that Mahone and
the President were at loggerheads.
Time does not heal the breach.
Indeed, it is said to be widening
daily. 'The Virginia Senator lately
demanded in his cool, imperious
way the appointment of Congress
man Paul to fill the vacancy caused
by the resignation of Judge Rives,
a United States District Judge of
irginia, This demand was ignor
ed. General Grant has a candidate
for the position in the person of
Col. John S. Mosbv, Consul General
to China- Mosby is a bitter enemv
of A—U»ow vn-icnrtftrl
bey a 111 e by the persistency
with Grant has pressed his
name. 1; .s said that one object of
Graut’^^* ftsent view is to urge
Mosby's appointment, and it is
also whispered that he will be suc
cessful.
Mahone heard the news to-day.
He interviewed General Grant, and
the two subsequently went to the
White House together. They were
closeted with President Arthur for
some time. What took place has
been studiously kept secret, but the
result may be conjectured from a
remark made by Mahone this eve-
mug.
He raid to a friend, “I will never
enter the portal of the White House
during the present administration.”
General Grant is said to be stronger
than Mahone. Perhaps his influ
ence Las not yet waned. In case
he does not succeed in procuring
this appointment for Mosbv, it may
be ghen to another applicant who
is now a Judge in one of the terri
tories. and is Grant’s second choice.
It is certain, boweyer, that Ma
hone’s nose is out of joint.
Wonder-Working Barnes.
New York, Jan. 5.
Evangelist Barn^^js : A«d the
Christian home fL intemperate
men Christmas aftAnoon. When
the speaking, singing and praying
were done the preacher asked if
any were present who were suffering
from physical ailments, and desired
to be cured. About thirty men
came forward and were anointed
with olive oil and prayed for by the
evangelist. Charles A. Bunting,
the superintendent of the homo,
was rather skeptical. Mr. Barnes
visited him 01^ Wednesday. Mr.

the superintendent. j “1 have no
faith in your ability to do so,” said
Mr. Bunting. “No,” replied thv
preachvi, “I must haV faith.” The
evangelist then put a drop of olive
oil upon Mr. Bun|>ng's forehead
and earnestly prayed that his ail
ment miuht disappear. Shortly af
ter Mr. Barnes had gone Mr. Bunt
ing wanted something in a closet
in bis study. Hie bookkeeper, who
usually waited upon him, was ab
sent from thv room. Mr. Banting
arose and unexpectedly found that
he could stand. Ud l put one foot
forward and was astonished to real
ize that he could walk. lie made
immediate use of his sudden dis
cowry by going to the closet and
getting (he article he wanted. He
attributed the strength of his
limbs partly to the powei of Mr.
Barnes. On Thursday morning Mr.
Bunting came into the chapel of
the home walking erect. The mem
beis of the institution who were
there were filled with astonishment.
They regarded his appearance as an
exemplification of the evangelist’s
great faith in his curative powers.
Cheap Living in Saxony.
A correspondent of the Chicago
Neics writes that wMle everything
was exceedingly <A*£ap in Saxony,
w hom
to live on less*noney^perdiem than
it cost them to live; at home, but
they had all lived more luxuriously.
“I am taking music lessons here,”
said a young fellow from Cincinnati
who does not talk much. “I take
two lessons a week. I pay for the
lessons about twelve and a half
cents each, or $1 per month. I pay
all the teacher asked.”
“I am paying fifty cents per les
son to a teacher of German,” said
another.
“I paid sls for a suit of clothes,”
said another, “and I couldn’t buy it
in the United States for S4O. It
was made to order for me.”
“I pay twelve marks, or $3, per
month for my room, with coffee
every morning,” said another.
“I rode in a beautiful carriage
from 11 o’clock to G o’clock yester
day. I had a splendid driver, j
had beer, and so did he. The day’s
amusement cost mo $3. It would
cost more than that for the privi
lege of taking off your hat to an
American hackman.’’
Other adventures and experiences
of a similar character were gone
over. I have just given enough to
show why it is that people of small
means in England flock to Saxony.
They can live well here for what it
would cost them to live poorly at
home. Americans have not taken
advantage of t^e Fd icement offer
ed by Dresd^-^r Leipsic as yet, be

The Central Railroad.
Savannah Times.]
The Central railroad operates and
controls 60 engines on the Savan
nah division, 57 on the Southwest
ern, and 32 on the Atlanta section,
making in all 149 engines. It has
2,095 cars in operation and under
its control. Eighty-nine box cars of
22 tons capacity were built in Sa
vannah, 40 cars of the same capaci
ty were built in Macon, 25 in Co
lumbus, and 40 by the Port Royal
and Augusta railway for the Savan
nah division. During the year there
was repaired at shops in Savannah
1,366 cars, which gives a faint idea
of the vast amount of rolling stock
controlled by this great corporation.
Now is the time to subscribe for
the Texbunk, $1.50 per year.

Saved his Child.
17 N. Eutaw St., Baltimore, Md.
Feb. 13, 1880.
Gents:—Upon the recommenda
tion of a friend I tried Brown’s
Iron Bitters as a tonic and re
storative for my daughter, whom
I was thoroughly convinced was
wasting away with Consumption.
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 my 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 “Tonics were re
quired;” and when informed that
, the elder sister was taking Brown’s
Iron Bitters, responded “that is
a good tonic, take it.”

Brown’s Iron Bitters effectual

Weakness, and renders the greatest
relief and benefit to persons suffering
from such wasting diseases as Con
