Pertain newspapers And persona a year or two ago labored faithfully arid unceasingly to create the impression that Mr. Cleveland retired from office a very rich man.

An offertory bag in an English ru ral church was found to contain a very rare specimen of a seventeenth century token made of copper, which had ap parently been dropped into the recep taele in mistake for a farthing. The curio was valued by a local dealer at fourteen shillings. A description of -be article and the circumstances od der which it was found were affixed to the church porch, but the donor seem ed ashamed to turn up and explain matters. A few days later the clergy man received an address a long dis tance from the church, stating that if the token were sent to “X. Y. Z.” care <d the householder, a remittance of half a sovereign wou'd be received in exchange. It was duly’ sent in a reg istered letter, and the postal order for ten shillings arrived in return. THE FEAR OF A MOUSE. One liimlmmvc V*J» It Mu tie n 1 tiim fir of ti Womno. A limn--' has long been known to be the bitterest enemy of womankind. Ju.-t why the average run of femininity should fear such a helpless, harmless i little creature cannot be explained. During the civil war a famcns female spy was betrayed through the instru mentality of a mouse. The woman was masquerading as a boy and succeeded admirably in deceiving the enemy tin til one evening while dining with u party of men at a farmhouse a black mouse jumped from a cupboard to the table, almost in the face of the sup posed boy. With a shrill feminine j shriek the spy threw up her arms and rushed across the room, and, springing on a com b, went into hysterics from sheer fright. The men, of course, sus pected her and. rather than be searched, j she confessed, but by the aid of the loy al old farmer and his wife she made her I escape in the night. A well known woman physician of ; Chicago says she can do any kind of surgical work without a tremor, but | the sight of a mouse turns her stiange- | ly ill and thoroughly “rmwomans’' her. Another woman has such a terror of mice that she recently went insane through fright at one of the wee crea tures 'The woman was sweeping her cellar when a mouse darted out from | an old barrel and ran about her feet. She tried to .step on it and beat at it with her broom, calling piteously to her little boy to help her. But the boy, thinking she was in fun, frightened the terrified mouse toward the woman whenever it tried to get away. At length the noy rushed at it in earnest and the mouse darted under the wom an's skirts and she fell to the floor in -1 sensible, only to lose her mind when at i length consciousness returned to her. — Cleveland Plain Dealer. : NO CHINESE IN LEADVILLE.

Loss of Vitality Known to be the Parent of this Broad Disease—The Method of Cure thd Has Proved Most Successful /■'rum the Republican, Scrantun, l\-nna. The most common of all human ailments ii deranged digestion: the most aggravating disease, inherited by man, dyspepsia. In sidious in its nature, varied in ita forms it tortures its victims, baffles the skill of phy sicians and the power of medicine. The primary cause of dyspepsia is lack of vltalitv; the absence of nerve force; the loss of the life-sustaining elements of the blood. It is a truism that no organ can properly perforin Its function when the source of nutriment fails; when it is weakened on one hand and over-taxed on the other. When, the stomach is robbed of the nourishment demanded by nature, assimilation ceases un natural gases are generated, the entire sys tem responds to the discord. A practical illustration of the symptoms and torture of dyspepsia is furnished by the case of Joseph T. Vandyke, 410 Hickory St., Scranton. Pa. In telling his story Mr. Vandyke says; “Five years ago, I was afflicted with a trouble of the stomach, which was very aggravating. I had no appetite, could not enjoy myself at any time, and especially was the trouble severe when I awoke in the morning. I did not know what iho ailment was, but it became steadily worse and I was in constant misery. •**l called in my fhmlly physician, and l e diagnosed the case as catarrh of the stomach. He prescribed for me and I bad his prescrip tion filled.

After 1 had been suffering several months, and had secured no relief from any of the many remedies which 1 had taken, a friend of mine, by the name of Thomas Campbell, also a resident of this city, urged inc to try Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People. I told him if would be a useless waste of money to buy them, ns I was convinced that nothing could do me any good. “I was finally persuaded to buy a box and began to use the pills according to directions. Before I had taken the second box I began to feel relieved, and after taking a few more boxes J considered myself re stored to health. , The pills gave me new life, strength, ambition and happiness.’ An unfailing specific is found in Dr. M il liams’Pink Pills for Pale People for such diseases ns locomotor ataxia, partial paralysis, St. Vitus’dance, sciatica, neuralgia, rheuma tism, nervous headache, the after eflect of la grippe, palpitation of the heart, pale and sallow complexions, that tired feeling result ing from nervous prostration, all diseases re sulting from vitiated humors in the blood, such as scrofula, chronic erysipelas, etc. They are also a specific for troubles peculiar to females, such ns suppressions, irregularities and nil forms of weakness. 1 n men they effect a radical cure in nil cases arising from mental worry, overwork or excesses of whatever nature. These pills are manufactured by the Dr. Williams’ Medicine Co., Schenectady, N. Y. and are sold only in boxes bearing the firm’s’trade-mark and wrapper at 50 cents a .

Editor : Some years ago I took an idea that land was the safest investment that a man could make in Georgia, and as a consequence, I am now land poor; have more than I can profitably make use of, and consequently want to get rid of some, or all of it, and I have decided to adopt the following measure to get rid of it: I will say,in the first place, that the land is the best in Monroe county, is fine ly watered, and is adapted to raising cat tle, sheep and hogs, and is the best tor cotton, corn, wheat, oats and other grains in the county. There are a number of tenant houses on the place, and a home recently built that cost me over $3,000 to build. The land, in the first place, cost me from $25 down to $-1 per acre—saying altogether,about $lO per acre, without improvements ; and to get rid of it, I will average the whole place at $lO per acre, in the following way : I will have the entire place, 1,600 acres, sub-divided into 50-acrc lots, at $lO per acre, giving more than 50 acres to one party, if desired, and less than 50 t> another, according to bis ability to pay for it, as the case may be, the entire quantity to be drawn for. In other words, the number of lots and quantity of land to be put in a hat or box, and drawn out under approval of a com mittee of gentlemen, at some stated time, so that all shall have a fair chance to get a home at a low price, and no one has a chance of losing their m >ney, or failing to get their value, as paid, and some get a farm at far less than cost The land is 12 miles from Macon, a city of some 50,000 or 60,000 people, and is adapted to maiket gardening, and for northern people who know how to work, it offers a fine opportunity for a colony of energetic citizens. It is all together, and would make a fine settlement, having the best of pastures, water, springs, creeks, etc. The land is timbered with hickory, beach, oak and pine, and some cedar ; in fact, it is the best place I know of, and I am satisfied the ed itor of the Call will vouch for what I say. I would be glad to have any parties who mean business, to go over the plantation, familiarize themselves with the advan tages, and communicate with me at Barnesville, before going into the matter, assuring them that I mean what I say. In addition to the terms offered above, I have concluded to make the terms of pay ment in four annual payments without interest, which is tantamount to putting the price of the land very low. The titles to the land have been in the posses sion ot one or two parties for years, and have never been questioned and are -as good as gold. I am not particularly wedded to this plan of getting rid of my lands, but only suggest the idea—any better plan would ba thankfully substituted. S. B. BURL’, Sr, Barnesville, Ga.
