It disappearI —the worst forms of catarrh, with the use of Dr. Sago’s Catarrh Rem edy. It’s mild, soothing, cleansing and healing properties effect a per fect and permanent cure, no matter how had the case, or of how long standing. It’s a remedy that suc ceeds where everything else has failed. Thousands of such cases can bo pointed out. That’s the reason its proprietors back their faith in it with money. They offer $500 reward for a case of catarrh which they cannot cure. It’s a medicine that allows them to take such a risk. Doesn’t common sense lead you to take such a medicine? “An advertising fake,” you say. Funny, isn’t it, how some people prefer sickness to health when tho remedy is positive and the guaran tee absolute. Wise men don’t put money back of “fakes.” And “ faking ” doesn’t pay. i HAT'S so johnny ROACH IsKHSKB ma'd e by MASSENBUR& - MACON. GA SOLD by DRUGGISTS.

Them tar Life— III. Service on Two Continent, with Garibaldi— HI. Unrocomponw.1 Service for Victor Emanuel. Admiral William de Rolian, who died in this city, was one of the most remark- ablo men of this century, and a complete sketch of his life would read like a chap ter from medimval history. He was of Norse descent, his father having been a Swedish nobleman, and ho was born Dahlgreti, his elder brother being Ad miral Dahlgren, of the United States navy, whose services afloat during the war, as well as bis advanced improve ments in ordnance, make such a bright page in the history of our navy. Another brother, younger, Charles Dahlgren took sides with the south during the war and was a general officer. IX- Rolian was nearly six feet in height broad shouldered and deep chested, and in his prime of life must have iieen af tho most powerful men living, head was Webeterian in its proportions. THE BROTHER'S FIGHT. Away back in the forties, when Will iam had grown to man's estate in years, Admiral Dahlgren, then a lieutenant, was stationed at the navy yard here en gaged in the ordnance departments, that made his name faidbus for the style and method of building the gi;eat ship guns tlmt Imre his name and that fonght the naval battles of the civil war. One day Dahlgren, tho elder son, saw (it to take William severely to task for something, and that brought on a storm of angry words on both sides that resulted in tho younger man knocking the older brother into a corner of the room. Dignity for- bade i. personal altercation, au<l Datil- gren had an officer sent for. Taken to the old City hall, William was snllon and unrepentant, and though family and neutral friends tried to stop proceedings, Dahlgren pressed tho case, and the offender was fined $100 for the assault. Then Dahlgren told the magis trate that if William would make a public apology for having struck an offi cer of tho navy while in uniform he would be willing thnt the penalty be set aside. “Never! Never!’’ said William, will never npologizo nor even speak a word to yon while God lets me live; and more, while you live I will never again bear the name that you do.” So they parted in the mayor’s room at tpe City hall, and William assumed his mother's name of De Rohan, by which he was known thereafter at home and abroad to the day of his death. His mother was a member of the princely family of De Rohan, of France. Going abroad, his family connections and ample means brought him into in' tiinacy with persons of tho highest rank in life, among them being Admiral Hie hart (Paslm), of the Turkish navy, and with him ho took servico under tue sul tan, with the rank of captain. HIS CAREER IN ITALIAN WATERS. Leaving the Turks he went to the Argentine Repnblic—then Bucuos Ayres with Garibaldi, and commanded the naval forces of that country in the suc cessful revolution tlmt brought Indepen dence. After that, when Garibaldi came to this country, De Rohan went to Chili and became admiral of the Chilian navy. Late in the fifties he joined Garibaldi, with whom be was in constant corre spondence, in Europe, ondeutered heart and soul with him in his plans for the unification and independence of Italy. While the groat liberator directed and commnudeil the land forces De Rohan was made admiral of the revolutionary navy, which was confirmed by Victor Emaunel. He was an admiral without a fleet, for they did not have a single vessel heavier than n coral fishing felucca; hut ho was energetic, and by a very liberal ontlay of funds from his private purse and con tributions by English and French friends lie actually succeeded iu purchasing and arming three good sized meruliantsteam- ers, with which he escaped to Sardinia anil reported to Victor Emanuel, It was on tlieso vessels that the then king of Sardinia and such troops ns he had were transported to the mainland of Italy, and history tells of the result. During the siege or Rome Admiral De Rolum commanded the marine division under Garibaldi and snjiervised the ar tillery fire. Other forms of government tium re publics are at times ungrateful, and It is so in this case, for, while Admiral De Rohan spent nearly $2.50,000 in providing tho means thnt gave tho throne of Italy to tile house of Savoy, he never was re- “zid a penny, and died in Providence hospiLil here, cared for by charitable friends. During a nnmber of years lio resided in Eugland, where he became interested in thu formation and workings of the British naval reserve, in which he was commissioned a commander by the ad miralty. During the civil war he was Intensely loyal to the north, hut refused to take service in our navy lest lie might at some time be brought under the com mand of his brother. Admiral John Dakl- gren. Put off by various excuses and neg lected by Victor Emannel in liis attempts to secure repayment of tho immense sums advanced to Italy, he came home about 1871 and laid hia claims before the secretary of state. In the belief that something would at leaat be accomplished. Do' Rohan went abroad again, and for several years tried to work some mines he owned in Sar dinia or Sicily, bnt he lacked capital for tho work, and retained home to find his case slumbering as neglectedly as though no one in the state department had ever heard of it. He was thoroughly disheartened, and for the first time in his life his high •oarage failed before his misfortunes •ad his health gave way.. He was then nearly seventy years of age, and when a stroke of paralysis followed he failed rapidly in a hospital.—Washington Post A Hunt Destructor. A correspondent asks, Wbat is the ‘dust destructor?' The dust destructor is a group of furnaces s»t in an inclosed space containing tho requisite yards and buildings used for consuming the rub bish which is swept off the London streets, which amounts to many thou sands of tons in a year. The furnace honse is approached by an incline drive way leading to a covered place above the furnaces. In this place the scaven gers' carts shoot their rubbish, which by simple apparatus is dropped into the furnaces, where it is speedily converted into "clinker.” This clinker is then re moved and broken np. Some of it is ground, some regronnd, and some ground a third time. In the ward are seen piles of broken and ground clinker, some of course lumps, some resembling gravel, some looking like the finest sand. For all this material there is a nse. Some of it goes to form the foundation of roads; some, mixed with tar, is made into a durable pavement: some makes admira ble sand for mortar anil cement, and sonio is made into imitation stone for sidewalks. In tho Battersea district of London the parish wagon houses, stables, blacksmith shops, etc., have been constructed entirely of this imita tion stone made from tho refuse of do mestic dust bins and the streets. If any of the residents of the parish want any of the broken or ground clinker for any pnriwso they are per mitted to take as much of it as they can carry away iu barrows or carts. Noth ing goes to waste. Tho process of cre mation is cheap, and this method of dis posing of the refuse of a crowded dis trict has had a wholesome effect from a sanitary point of view.

I give the everyday rontino at Rugby just as my young “Lower Middle” friend rattled it off to me: “Well, the 0:15 morning bell wakes ns, bnt we don’t want to get up. Then another bell rings at 0:50 for five minutes. We’ve got to gat in our places in chupel in that time to bo ‘called over,’ and if we are too lazy to make it, it means a ‘licking,’ that’s all. After service we march in order to our different ‘form’ rooms and say les sons till 8:15. Then we have fifteen min utes to buy any little luxuries, like penny loaves—tho house bread's pretty dry— and then comes breakfast. From 9:15 to 1:15, lessons; and dinner's nfl :00. “Wo get a rest spell from dinner until 8, and then lessons go on aguin until 0. oxcept Tuesdays, Thursdays and Satur days. Them’s half holidays. .

Bnt whatever we’re doing at G o'clock, games, sauntering or study, everything's drop ped, and we givo a grand rush for ‘tea.’ After tea in winter, and after 7:15 in summer, comes ‘locking np.’ Nobody likes that. Then we have to pitch in on preparation’—that’s getting onr les sons for the next forenoon—until 9 o'clock, when they give ns a very light supper that don’t make anybody dream.

STONE, Supt. Tho Sargofia Sea. The Sargossa sea is a region in tho At lantic, about midway between southern Europe and America, extending from 21 to 23 degs. north latitude and between 29 and 45 degs. west longitude. It de rived its name from a Portuguese word signifying a grape, and waa so called be cause the seaweeds characteristic of the region bear on their branches small air cells, which in shape are not unlike the grape clusters. The weeds themselves are among the most peculiar of vegetable productions, sinco they havo no roots, nor any signs of fructification, and aro propagated by division. They float in the water, sometimes in dense masses ex tending for miles. This portion of the Atlantic is a great eddy, little affected by the currents which .surround it on every side, and the stilluess of the water, it is supposed, has contributed to the development of tho weeds in tho vast quantities in which they are found. The floating masses were noticed by Columbus and his men, to whom they were a source of uneasi ness, as the sailors supposed they indi cated shallow water. Detached masses of the weed are often seen in the Gulf stream, and the long, yellow lines of flouting weed are a sure indication of its close proximity.—St. Louis Globe-Demo crat An Kxpeo.ive LourIi. A railroad man who knows Senator Brice intimately told this story of him: Mr. Brice for some time wanted certain matters nrranged at Sandnskv, bnt his desires were prevented by two of the younger Vanderbilts, and ho finally went to them. They laughed nt him, and Brice became quite angry. “Young men,” said he sternly, "yon must not laugh at me; I won't permit it.
