REMARK ABLE CURE of SCROFULA,

Oasts : For sixteen yearn l haw been a groat naf

have b*en confine 1 to my room ami bod for fifteen
yean* with acmfulouH ulcerations. The most ap
proved remedies for such cases bad been used, ami
the most eminent physicians consulted, without an\
decideil benetit. Thus prostrated, distressed, de
snomling. was advised by l)r Ayer of Floyd county,
Ga., to commence the use of yout O'oni|>ound Ex
tract Sulliugia. Language is us iuautheieut to de
scribe the relief I obtained from the Itse of the Stil
lingiu as it is to convey an nduquate idea of the iu
tensity of my suffering before using your medicine;
authcient to nay, I abandoned all other remedian ami
continued the use of vour Extract of Stilliugia. un
til 1 can say truly, ** 1 am cured of all pain,” of all
disea.so, with nothing to obstruct the active pursuit
of my profession. More than eight mouths have
elapsed since this remarkable cure, without any re
turn of the disease.
For the truth of the above state treat, I refer to
any gentleman iu Bartow County, Ga., and to the
members of the bar of Cherokee Circuit, who ait*
acquainted with me. I shall ever remain, with the
deepest gratitude. Your obedient servant,

OixtA: My daughter was taken on the goth day

Rheumatism, and was treated for the same with no
success. In March, ftdlowmjr, pieces of bene began
to work out of l ; Uid continued to ap
pear till the bone from the elbow to the shoulder
joint came out. Many pieces of bone came out of
the right foot and leg* The case was then pronounc
ed one of White Spelling. After having been con
fined about six years to her bed, and the case con
sidered hopeless. I was induced to try Dr. IVmlni
tons Compound Extract of Slillingia, and was so
well satisfied t\ ifh its ofiW'ttfThat I have continued
the use of it until the pfeseftt.
My daughtoi Was conlined to her bed about six
Jcars before she sat up or even tnrned over without
elp. She now sits up all day. and sews most of her
time—has walked across the room. Her genera!
health is now good, and I believe she will, as her
limbs gain strenth, walk well. I attribute her re
covery, with the blessing of God. to the use of your
invaluable medicine. W. B. BLANTON.

" The crick.-t chin uj*s on Ihs Uesrth,
The cruckliuj’ luyot tllcfl."
The air id cool anti lively. The fam
ily have peartened up and everything i.-
lovely amund the farmer's comfortable
tire. How invigorating is the first chil
ling breeze of coming winter. The huu
gry horses nicker for their corn ; the
cattle follow you around ; the pesky pigs
-queal at your feet, and this dependence
of the brutes upon us for their daily
food makes a mail feel his consequence
is he struts among them like u little
king. The love of dominion is very
natural. It provokes a kindliness of
heart, and ifa man hasn't got anything
lse to lord it over it’s some comfort to
love and holler at his dog. I’ve seen
the day, oh, blessed day, when I strutted
amund among niv darkies like a patri
arch. I felt like I was running an un
limited monarchy on a limited scale.
They were happy then and so were we.
But they have gone to the dogs long
since, and are scattered and poor and
destitute. Freedom ruined ’em and it's
mighty nigh ruined us. I wish I could
buy a nigger. I just want to holler at
him after the same old fashion : “Here,
Dick, you lazy rascal, go and saddle my
horse. Be quick now, or I’ll lamp you
with a thrash pole 20 feet long.”
“ I want to buy one for Mrs. Arp and
sometimes I dream I bear the music of
her old familiar call: “Becky, why
don’t you come along with that coal
hod?” “I’zea cornin’, mam?” “ Ro
sanna, what iu the world are you doing;
haven’t you found that needle yet!”
“ I’ze most found it, mam.” Poor thing;
patient and proud she hunts her own
needles now, aud the coal hod falls on
me.
But we still live, thnuk the good Lord,
and are worrying through this checker
ed life as gracefully as possible. What
is the use of brooding over trouble when
you can’t help it. Sometimes when a
lainy day comes and all outdoors is wet
and sloppy, and the dogs track mud in
the piazzo, and the children have to be
penned up in the house, and everything
is gloomy, we get sad and look on the
dark side and long lor things we haven’t
got. When the little chaps play hide
and seek till they get tired and shove
the chairs around for cars and engines
and look at all the pictures and cut up
all the newspapers and turn summersets
on their little bed, and then get restless
and whine around for freedom, Mrs.
Arp opens her school and stands ’em up
by the burn to say their lessons.
"Now, Carl, let me see if you can say
your psalm. Put your hands down and
hold up your head.”
"The Lord is my sheppnrd. I shall
not want. He—he —he—
“ Let that flv alone anti pnt rour
hands down. He maketh mo to lie
down—.”
“ lie maketh me to lie down in green
pastures. He, he.”
“Quit pulling at that curtain. He
leadeth me— ’’
“He leadeth me. La, mn, yonder
comes a covered wagon. I speck its got
apples.”
“ Carl, stand away from that window.
If I take a sw itch to you I’ll make you
look after apple wagons. He leadeth
me —.”
“ He leadeth me—in the house of the
Lord forever.”
“ Bless my soul, if he hasn't skipped
over (o the very end. Where are you
going now?”
“ Mama, I want a drink of water —
mamy, please give me and Jessie an ap
ple.”
“No, sir, you shant smell an apple.
Every time I try to teach you something
you want water, or an apple, or go to
catching flies. I wish I luid that switch
that’s up on the clock.”
“ I'll get it for you,” said I.
“No you needn’t, either. Just go on
with your writing. I wish you would
let me manage the children. All the
learning they ever get I have to ding
dong it into ’em. When I want the
switch I can get it Here, Jessie, come

| and sav your verses.”

And Jessie goes through with “Let
I dogs delight ” like n daisy. Oh she’s
smart ns a steel-trap—just like her mo
ther.” I wish you could see Mrs. Arp's
smile when softie other woman comes
along aud norutes the smart sayings of
her juvenile.
“ Ain’t it strange,” says she to me,
“ how blinded most mothers are about
their children. Mrs. Trotter thinks her
Julia a world’s wonder, but Jessie says
things every day a heap smarter, and 1
never thought anything about it.”
“ Jesso," says I; “ children are shore
to be smart when they have a smart
mother. Their meanness all conies from
the old man.”
But the rainy day’s don’t last forever.
Sunshine follows cloud and storm and
darkness. I’m glad, for your sakes,
that its blessed rays arc beaming upon
your fuir. Mrs. Arp, my wife, hinted to
the children (she never asks me for any
thing) that if the weather was pleasant
and she bad a little passcl of money
'tie would like to go down; and so I
-tirred up things aud when I came home
the other night and found her knitting
away in that same old corner, I pulled
nut twenty-two dollars of rent-cotton
money and assuming a pathetic attitude,
recited:
“ Turn, Angelina, ever dear,
My charmer, turn to ate
Thine own, thv long*lmt Willirmi here,
Kentoreri to heaven and thofc.”
And I laid the shining silver in her lap.
“ I dident know you were lost,” said
■die, " I never missed you. You stick
as close to me as a Siamese twiu—some
times I wish you were lost for a while.”
"Now you can goto the fair,” said I,
“ and buy yourself rich at the dollar
store.”
“Rich! dollar store indeed! what
what will S2O do when the girls want
shawls and shoes and winter hats, nnd
the boys haven’t got anything and the
sheets are worn out aud we are obliged
to have two pair of blankets and there
isn’t a decent carpet in the house to say
nothing of what I need for thy own
comfort.”
" And mine too,” said I meekly.
“ Well, yes, nnd yours too. But you
don’t care how you go.”
“ I’m running on humility and good
manners,” said I.
"Good manners indeed —Mr. Free
man came down here last night, and you
laid down on the bed and went to sleep
right before him.”
" Well, my dear, I didn’t go to do it.
I just laid down with Carl to humor
him off, ami I had worked so hard and
was so tired, and you know that Nabor
Freeman dident come to see me no how,
and you were entertaining him so de
lightfully that the music of your heaven
ly voice lulled me into slumber. But
if he had brought the partner of his
joys with him I wouldn’t have gone to
sleep if I could and I couldn’t, if I
•would.”
"OU, do stop your rigamarole,” said
Mrs. Arp, “I kuew you were tired,and
I apologized for you the best I could.
I’ll just keep this mouey but I'm not
goiug to the fair.”
“ And she has laid it in some corner
where it’s as safe from me and the bur
glars as a banker’s vault.
*Why dident you send us a free pass
or get the railroads to put the round
trip down to a dollar, aud then you
would have been that 20 dollars better
off. Yours, Bill Arp.
P. S.—Newt Tumlin dident say that
Grady smelt the “bottle” from afiir.
A “ battle” nnd a bottle are different
things, though they use up a man all the
same. I’m inclined to think you done
it a purpose, but I don’t care anything
about it if Grady don’t. B. A.
Colonel McClung kicked a man out
of an Alabama hotel for a personal af
front. Six months after he saw the
same man kicking another poor fellow
out of another hotel. “ Tush, roan,”
said the Colonel—“ Hold, but ain't
you the man I kicked out of the Nas
sau House a little while ago ?” “ Keep
still, Colonel,” was the response.
“ Don’t say one worth You and I
know whom it will do to kick.”

W anted a Specimen.
They were sitting in the olllce of En
gineer Del lass yesterday afternoon,
that is. a few of Burlington's most
worthy officials, when a Hawk-Eye re
porter intruded npon them in search of
news. There was a positive declara
tion from eaeli of them that he knew
nothing. After a few moments' com
monplace remarks, one of the gentle,
men told a story. This reminded an
other official of a little incident in his
experience as a school-teacher. lie
said : “ I had a small microscope in the
school, and I would entertain
the children with it one afternoon. I
had heard that a louse was a wonderful
thing under a magnifying glass, so,
just before school was dismissed at
noon, I told the children that I wanted
a big, fat louse, and that for the finest
fattest one I would give 15 cents.
Well, sirs, I dismissed that school,
took ray dinner and went over in a
corner to eat it. I bad my lunch nicely
laid out, and had Just got started, when
I noticed a little <J-year-old come in the
doorway and start toward me with his
right bead extended and a triumphant
expression lighting up his countenance
from ear to eye and back again. lie
marched right up to me, and its he got
within reaching distance he unclosed
his hand, and said, • There, teacher;
there, I got him,’ and with that he de
posited a fine fat gray-back alongside
of the lunch. He was alioiit to start
otr when in came a little girl in the
same manner, walked up with her bend
down, her thumb in her mouth, and
laid down two. Well, they began to
come in then, right along, until about
75 were crawling around before me. 1
tol<l the children to take them out, and
save me two of the best of them. Then
they gathered them up and took them
away; but, gentlemen, I ate no more
dinner. It took a week’s salary to pay
olf the various 15 cents I had promised,
and when the debts were all paid tbe
stud}’ of animated nature in that di
rection was suspended for the present.”
Here the official paused and looked
around for the “ next," but no one of
fered to go one better, and soon tbe
news seeker quietly w ithdrew.
One of John Phoenix’* Stories.
Ouc in a certain Western fort some
time ago, the Major conceived that ar
tillery might be used effectively in fight
ing the Indians, by dispensing with gun
carriages and fastening the cannon upon
hacks of mules. So lie explained his
views to the commandant, and it was
decided to try the experiment. A how
itzer was selected and strapped upon the
hack of an ambulance mule, with the
muzzle pointed towards the tail. When
they had secured the gun and loaded it
with hall cartridge, they led the calm
and steadfast mule out on the bluff, and
set up a target in the middle of the river
to practice at. The rear of the mule
was turned toward the target, and he
was backed gently up to the edge of the
bluff. The officers stood round in a
semi-circle, while the Major went up and
inserted a time fuse in the vent of the
howitzer. When the fuse was ready the
Major lit it and retired. In a moment
or two the hitherto unruffled mule beard
the fizzing back on his neck, and it
made him uneasy. He reached his
neck around to ascertain what was go
ing on, and his body turned, anti the
howitzer began to sweep around the ho
rizon. The mule at last became ex
cited, and his curiosity became more
and more intense; in a second or two
lie was standing with his four legs in a
bunch making six revolutions per min
ute, and the howitzer threatening sud
den death to every man within half a
mile. The commandant was observed
to climb suddenly up a tree ; Ollieers
were seen sliding over the bluff into
the river, as if they didn’t care at all
about the high price of uniforms; the
Adjutant made good time toward the
fort; a sergeant began to throw up
breastworks with his bayonet; the Ma
jor rolled over the ground and groaned.
In a moment or two there was a puff
of smoke, and a dull thud, and the
mule —oh ! where was he? A solitary
brute might have been seen turning sue*
| cessfnl back-somersaults over the bluff,
j only to rest at anchor, finally with his
I howitzer at the bottom of the river,

while the ball wont oIT toward to fort,
hit the chimney in the Major's quarters
rattling the adobe bricks down into the
parlor, aud frightening the Major's
wife into convulsions. They do not al

StattsUcs f*r Girls.
A young English statistician, who was
paying court to a young lady, thought
to surprise her with his fmhicusc crudi
'lion. Producing his note-book, she
thought lie was about to indite a love
sonnet, but was slightly taken aback by
the following question :
” How many meals do you eat?”
“Why, three, of course; but of nil
the oddest questions.”
“Never mind, dear. I'll tell you all
about it in a moment.”
His pencil was rapidly at work. At
last, fondly clasping her slender waist:
“Now, my darling, I’ve got it. and if
you wish to know bow much has pastad
through that adorable little mouth in
the last seventeen years, I can give you
ihc exact figures.”
“Goodness! Gracious! What can
you menu?”
“ Now, just listen," says he, “ and you
will hear exactly what you have been
obliged to absorb to maintain those
charms which are to make the happi
ness of my life.*
“ But I don’t want to hear.”
“Ah, you arc surprised, no doubt,
hut statistics are wonderful tilings.
Just listeu : You am 17 years old, so
that in 15 years you have absorbed often
or calves, a; sheep and lambs, 14;
chickens,, 32 ; ducks, 201; geese, ‘2O :
!Urkfys 100; game of various kinds,
724 ; fishes, 100 ; eggs, 3,124 ; vegetables
(hunches), 700; fruit, (Imski ts), 008;
cheese, 102 ; bread, c ake, etc., (in sacks
of flour), 40 ; wine, (barrels), 11 ; wafer,
(gallous), 3.000.”
At this time the maiden revolted, and
jumping up, exclaimed :
“I think you are very impertincuf,
and disgusting besides, and 1 will not
stay to listen to you.” Upon which she
flew into the house.
lie gazed after her with an abstracted
air, and lcjl, saying to himself:
“ If she kept talking nt that rate 12
horn’s out of 24, her jaws would in 20
years travel a distance of 1,882,124
miles.”
The maiden, w ithin two months mar
ried a well-to-do grocer who was no sta
tistician.
A Scotch Courtship.
A shy young man of Scotland for
fourteen 3'ears had wooed the lassie of
his heart. One night Jamie, for that
was the young man's name, called to
see Jennie, and there was a terrible
look about hi:t eyes—just as there i
sometimes when they’ve made up their
minds to pop the question. And Jamie
came in and sat down by the fire just
as lie had done every Tuesday and Fri
day night for fourteen years, and he
talked of the. weatlfer, and the cattle,
and the crops, and the stock market, 1
was going to say—but no, they didn't
talk about that. And finally, Jamie
said :
“ I’ve known you for a long time.”
" Yes, Jamie,” said she.
“ And—l've thought I’d always like
to know you, Jennie.”
“ Y-c-s—Jamie.”
“And so I've bought—a lot—Jennie.”
“ Y-e-8 —J-a-m-i-e.”
“ So—that - when—"
“ Yes—Jamie —yes.”
“ We’re dead we can lay bur bones
together.”
The fool had gone and bought a lot
in a graveyard; bat Jennie was not
discouraged. She knew her man well
—after fourteen years site ought to—
and so she said, gently :
“ Jamie.”
“ Yes, Jennie.”
“Don’t you think ’twoul I be better
to lay our bones together w hile we’re
yet alive ?”

A Horrible Harnlufr.
Richmond, Va., October 28.—Last
night J. S. Nash, a fanner, living in
Henrico county, was burned to death
under circumstances which for ghastli
ness are not to be fonnd in the annals
of inquisition itself. If ever a man
suffered, the tortures of the damned he
iid. Nash came to Richmond yester
day and got. on a spree. After having
a lively time here he mounted his horse
md rode back home. lie put the ani
mal away, and, taking a candle, went
to the fodder house to get some feed.
This (muse was a Tbg cabin with a small
loor. Opening the door he went in,
and while in there stumbled against a
bale of bay, and it fell from its |Ksi
tion, against the door, which opened oil
the inside, and completely closed and
blocked it up. The unfortunate man,
who wa..slupcfiul from drink, let the
-andle fall among the fodder, and in an
instant the who}?' place was ablaze.
He tried to roll the bale of hav from
its position, but it. was immovable. Ilis
cries brought his wife and ehildreu to
the scene, but they were powerless to
help him as thcr’dnor was scctirely
wodgod. The side* of the house being
of logs, laid on one another, they coutct
not clicet an entrance through them,
Through the chinks between tfrc logs
they could see the doomed man in his
igonies. He saw them and called! to
them. “ For God’s sake, help me!
What aye joy standing there for ?
Water? water?” Ilis intense pain
ompletely sobered him, 4ind ho seam
ed to realize Ills Itorrtbb situation.
With wild eagerness be caught up
bundles of the blazing material in bis
hands and threw them aside in his ef
forts to clear Ibo way to tbe door. In
his blaziiif* tomb ho fought with mad
desperation to save his life. At first
the small crowd saw bis hair burning ;
hen tbe (Jollies on bis back began to
redden with the beat from this furnace,
md last bis eye-balls were seen to
hurst open fsvjn the effects of the fierce
Ireat; Then this blind mass of burn
ing, living ftesb, staggered about among
the flames* and thou Udl among them,
lie exhibited Signs of life until after
his arms were bnrnod off. The house
was entirely destroyed, and this morn
ing the headless trmik was all that re
mained of this unfortunate man.
A Ilea*t-Tamer’s Fate.
Olie of the most intrepid wild beast
tamers of Europe, Kwrolyi, n Magyar
nf colossal stature and extraordinary
physical strength, luts recently fallen a
victim to a dread contingency of his
perilous profession. He was perform
ing before a crowded audience in Mad
rid the other day ono of Ids sensational
feats, which consisted in allowing n huge
boa constrictor, over twenty feet in
lepgth, to enfold his body in its tremen
dous when suddenly a picrciug cry
escaped him, which was greeted by the
public with a round*TTf applause, under
i lie'opposition tlmtits utterance consti
tuted a part of the performance. It
proved, however, to be the outcome of a
strong man’s death agony. The gigan
tic snake had tightened its coils and
rru-htd peor Karolyi’s life out ont of
him with one terriffie squeeze. As Ids
head fell hack and his eyes became fix
ed in a glassy stare the plaudits died
away, and were succeeded by the still
ncs* of utter consternation. Tire snake
and its lifeless victim swayed for a sec
ond at two of inexpressible horror anil
then'tom Jed over on the boards of tho
•tiigo; but tUujrbgft <litl uvl in the least
rehyc his hold upon the corpse, which
remained for more than an hour impris
oned in its hideous thraldom, nobody
daring to approach the lithe monster, of
whose powers stiehr appalling proof had
been given. At length it occurred to
one of Isafolyi’s attendants to place a
bowl of milk in a cage within sight of
the mighty serpent, which slowly un
wound itself from the (laud body nnd
glided into its den, irresistibly tempted
thereto by its favorite dainty. A post
mortem examination of the unfortunate
athlete’s remains discovered no fewer
than eighty-soven fracture’s of his bones
effected by the constriction of the ser
pent’s coils. lies death must have been
almost instantaneous, ns the spine was
disarticulated in several places.
Once in traveling, the Rev. Dr. Bled
soe was exceedingly annoyed by a pe
dantic bore who forced himself upon
him, and made a great parade of Ids
shallow learning. The Doctor bore it
as long as lie could, and at length,
looking at him gravely, said: “My
friend, you and I know all that is to bo
known.” “How is that?” said the
man, pleased with what he thought a
complimentary association. “ Why,”
said the Doctor, “You know everything
except that you arc a fool, and I know
that." *
