Ills hopes are that the diaeaso has been eradica ted from the tongue^uid that it will not appear again In the throat. But he is a man of nerve, and not disposed to eonccul from himself or friends the doubtful character of his complaint. He says; “If I recover, it is well. If I die, it is also well. While I think it strange that a man whose constitution was formed by physical laboron a farm, and who. up to a year ago, never had a day of ill-health, should he afflicted with an inexplicable dis order of the blood, 1 resign myself into tbe hands of my Creator, who will do with me what poems bust to Him, and either raise me up for further usefulness or summon me away. 1 await with patience cith er ovent." While it is true that Mr. Hill Duw-ros. rffluTiw of mo k e s no complaint- of his bodily suffering, his mind, never more brilliant or suggestive, chafes against restrainst, and he has to be cheeked by bis devoted wife when some animated theme spurs him to copious and eloquent utterance. lie welcomes the visits of his friends and insists upon earnest conversa tion, hut I am not so sure that this exertion is bcnclicial to him. He is like a caged lion, and regrets that he oouid not have participa ted in recent senatorial debates. He is full of a speech on tho politi cal condition of Virginia. “It ought to made,” he says, “but I do not know whether I will ho able to makoit or not.” I told him that tbe republican congress expressed much sympathy lor him, and he smiled when 1 repeated what one of'tbe stalwarts bad said in ray presence. It was to the effect that Nature could show no stranger paradox when sparing the tongue of a mopt offensivo babbler (I omit the name), mul making war on the most eloquent tdnguc In the United States. The doctors who have had Mr. Hill in charge, express the opinion that his tongue is proba bly secure from further disaster. They aiso.think the wound in ids throat will heal healthily, and that the chances are greatly in favor ol a gradual and pcrniandnt cure. But Mr. Hill has all along insisted upon the frankest statement, and, from the beginning, assured Dr. Gross that he could enduro even n death sentence from Ids lips with out flinching. It was inexpressi bly pathetic to see so much Intel luctual and physical power held in suspense. But it was also a grand sight to behold the strong man reverently surrendering bis will to that of God, and content to abide the best or worst result. Hu is missed from the senate by every- body, and tberu will be general re joicing when Mr. Frye sball have no further reason to say, as ho is called upon to vote; “I am paired with the senator from Georgia, Mr. Hill,” and when “our Ben,” along side of Senator Brown, can answer for bimselt andpGcorgiu. LA MAH ST., AMERICUS, OA., HAVE ON HAND A COMPLETE STOCK FANCY AM) FAMILY GROCERIES!! ^INE IXES AND L champagne. GINGER ALE AND Fresh luwortim nt of A Beautiful Indian Legend. The legend of the Cherokee rose is as pretty as the flower itself. An Indian chief oftlic Seminole tribe was taken prisoner by his enemies, the Cherokecs, and doomed to tor ture, but became so seriously ill that it became necessary to wait for bis restoration to health before committing him to tbc lire. And as bo lay prostrate by disease in the cabin of tbc Cherokee warrior, the daughter of the latter, a young . dnrk-fnced maid, was bis nurse. IQUORV . She fell in love with young chief- ''J i tain, ami wishing to save his life, | urged him to escaiie; but he would | not do so unless she would flee with uuiiifiivv . ii.t’i. i him. She consented. Yet before 81AUKLING UDER. , ^ ^ gQnc iinpc l| c< l by HO ft regret of leaving home, she asked j permission of her lover to return BOTIOW House llnllt or Cotton. Coluniea and India. Of all substances apparently the least likely to he used in tho con struction of a fireproof building, cotton would, perhaps, take tho first rank and paper the second; and yet both these materials are ac tually being employed for tho pur pose indicated, and their use will probably extend. Compressed nn- per pulp is successfully UBed in the manufacture of doors, wall panuel- ings ami for other purposes, with the result that all risk of wntping and cracking is obvinted, while increased lightness is attained anti tho fear ol dry rot is forever ban ished.' l’apiermaeho, alter having served a useful purpose in au un- obstructive manner for years as a material for small trays, paper knives and other such light arti cles, has now suddenly assumed a still more important position in the industrial world. A still more sud den and striking advnncc has boon made in the employment of cotton as n building material. A prepa ration called celluloid, in which cotton is a leading ingredient, lias been used lately ns n substitute for ivory in the manufacture of such articles as billiard balls apd paper onttors, and now n Canadiun manu facturer boa invented a process by whicj) compressed cotton may lie used", not merely for doors and window frames, but for tho wholo facade of large buildings. The cnor- mows and increasing demand for tiie paper for its normal use as printing and writing material pre vent the extended use of papier- mache as a building material, for which it is as well suited in many ways; but tbe production cotton is practically unlimited, and there seems to be a largo field avail able for its use in its now capacity as a substitute for bricks—or at least plaster—and wood. Treated with certain chemicals and com prcssctl it can be made perfectly fireproof and ns hard as stone, ab solutely air and damp proof; and a material is thus produced admi rably adapted for tbc lining—inter- mil—of buildings ofwhichtbe shell may or may not bo constructed of other material, while it easily lend* itself to decorative purposes. -PUREST AND BE8T- Tclrgraphic lirleflt.

Journals that have been bowl ing about protection from Ameri can industries, will do well to read the following facts, which have been compiled by the Vincennes (Ind ) Aetna: Very few persons realize the en ormous tax they are compelled to pay in consequence of this so-call ed protective policy, of the United States. From statistics within our reach we find that the pcoplo of the United Stales use about $20,000- 000 of blankets annually. Tbe duty on these blankets, if imported, amounts to about 86 per cent, of what thny would cost freoofduty. Hence in buying a blanket near ly half wo pay for it is tax. In other words we pay each year $10,762,668 for blankets and $7,- 247,812 to tbe manufactures as tax, which we would not have to pay were there no duty. On this amount of taxes tbe government in 1879 got $1,233, that boing the amount of duty col lccted on imported blankets: Again in the matter of cotton fabrics. Tbc home productions for cot ton fabrics for 1879 it is put down by a good statistician at $350,000, 000. Allowing that competition re duces this one-tbfrd, wo still And that tbe American pcoplo pay to tbe manufactures $87,500,000. The government now gets a revenue of $6,577,000on the cotton goods imported. Thus it goes all tbe way through. From the same source from which the above figures come we learn that tho pcoplo pay to the manu facturers {of woolen goods overy year $124,620,6od. Tbe government gets $10,868,- 860 as tariff on this class of goods, which tiie consumers also pay. On pig iron we pay Pennsyl vania manufactures a tax of $16,- 108,505 yearly; to tbe Government only $613,032. On steel rails wo pny an annual tax of $13,994,876, of which the Government gets $72,649. Thus on these four or flvo classes of goods tbe people of tbe United States pay a tax of $259,138,004 each year, being nearly half what they pay Tor the articles themselves, while of this sum tho government gets but littlo over $34,000,000. And why pny this stupendous tax ? It is tiie farmer and laboring niau, every person who bays a dow or harrow, or implement with ron in it; every person who buys a yard of calico or muslin, a coat or hat, every man who sells a bushel of grain, or sends a drove of hogs to market, pays a part of • it in the Increased rate of freight lie has to pay.
