A SCRAP OP HISTORY.
On* ol tho First Attractions Americas
> Old
In 1870 there were very few houses
“across the bianoh,” as they used to
call Brooklyn Heights—only thirteen all
told—but since that time the population
has steadily Increased until there is no
portion of the town that can boast of
finer or more convenient homes than
those who live there now.
The first house built In this portion of
the city was the Stanford place,] which
was settled by Mr. Hubbard. The next
built was the house that Col. J. L. Ad-
derton now lives In, wbloh was erected
by his father-in-law, Judge Guerry.
Next was the Gibson house, known as
the Patterson place; then CoL Daven
port’s residence lot was oleared up and
settled by John T. McCrary, from whom
Col. Davenport purchased it and built
the residence he now occupies. Ur,
Robert Hodge then started the Dr. Black
bouse, from whom the Doctor purchased
it in 1857, and completed the building,
which waa then the finest residence in
this portion of the state. :
The Doctor, being well blessed with
this world’s goods, wanted something to
occupy his time, and observing such a
city. Thousands of .gallons of corn and
rye liquor have been made there, be
sides thousands of gallons of peach and
apple brandy, blackberry brandy,' and
sorghum whisky by the wholesale.
During the war, Dr. Blook wanted to
send something to the soldiers In the
army, and after paeklng np several large
boxes of provisions, etc,, the ides oc
curred to him to send a few gallons of
this sorghum whiskey. He shipped
about twenty gallons to the members of
CUtt’s batalllon. The boys received it
with many thanks, and had a good time
for two weeks, and up till to-day some
of the boys call the Doetor their life pre
server, as they claim his sorghum
whisky saved their lives at a most criti
cal moment.
Another great character “over the
creek” waa old man Blley Covisgton,
the fiddler, the barber, the race rider
and but the preacher, Dr. Black gave
old man Riley a home for life time and
embodied in the deed these words, “So
loqgashe, Riley, behaves himself and
keeps the plaoe of a negro, he shall live
on the aforesaid property until his
death.” He kept bis place and lived a
peaceable life, and when he died there
were more whits people In attendance
upon his funeral than there were ne
groes.
Coalaol Wisdom.
“She who ne’er answers till her husband
lovely place formed by nature along the or.lfrtJrolee him, never shows ebe rulse"-
blllside for a fish-pond, he want to work/is a type of wife happily becoming com-
VOBTT-nVR THOUSAND.
and soon bad one of the prettiest pond*
you ever laid eyes on. For thirty years
this was a pnblio resort, and every Sun
day afterpoon yon would see the people
from town crowding aroxnd the place,
watching the hundreds of fish following
the visiton around the edge of the pond
eagerly waiting Co be fed.
Later the Doctor built four more
ponds, apJ tenderly watched over them
until he was compelled to break them
by the city council two years ago.
Near this fish pond was located a still,
owned and operated by Mr. John B.
Worrell who was well-known in this
mon in these days when women may
have good health, cheerful dispositions,
strong nerves and clear minds, simply
through the use of Dr. Pieree'e Favorite
Prescription. Before the reputation and
use of this remedy beoame world-wide,
irritable, cross, nervous, debilitated
women, suffering with displacements,
hysteria, and every female disease, were
the rule# rather than the exception.
The “Favorite Prescription” has proven
to be the key to a long and happy life—
the key which effectually locks out that
old array of uterine disorders, periodical
pains, weak back, prolapsus, Inflamma
tion, nloerstion, nervous exhaustion and
general debility. See printed gnai. ntee

doesn't give satisfaction in every ease.
laths Hears st Which the Possible Cotton
Bscslpts sislEstlmstsd.
A Tiuks-Rzcobder reporter inter
viewed Mr. Samuel MeGarrah on the
possible cotton receipts of Ameriens,
the quality of the staple, the eauso of
the present depressed prices, and other
subjects pertaining to this most impor
tant of Subjects. In the ooune of bis
remarks Mr. MeGarrah said
“I think a conservative estimate of
thepoeslble receipts wonld be 45,000,
and this will allow ample latitude. The
texture of the staple is unusually fine
and the season has been very propitious
for the gathering and marketing the
crop. I do not believe that over fifteen
per cent, of the entire crop remains en-
gathered. The reason of the shrinkage
in prieee is that the port reoelpts have
been exceptionally large, over-stocking
the markets and maxing the supply ex-
coed the demand. The farmers were
prevailed on but year to bold book their
ootton which they, in a good measure
did, and which was crowded in the mar
ket at the first of this eeaeon. InAmeri-
cus the general tone of the ootton mar
ket hat been about as steady a* else
where and the fluctuations have not
amounted to anything. Cotton in my
opinion will climb higher in January,
which faot involves the qnestion as to
the advisability pf holding back the cot
ton that long.”
The cotton receipts in the last few
days are gradually tapering off and they
will before long dwindle down to sub
stantially nothing, owing to the fact
'rexhaosl
that the crop is nearly i
sted.
The head clerk of Smith A McNeil’s
Hotel, New York, Mr. S. Waddell, makes
the following statement—“One bottle of
Dr. Boll’s Cough Syrup thoroughly cur
ed me of a severe, long-standing cough
and cold. I take pleasure in recom
mending it to all so afflicted.”
Some people cannot say what they
think. They haven’t got sense enough.
Science in Bread Kokinr.
At the recent annual meeting of the
Amerloan Chemical Society, held in
Washington, D. O., the question of the
value of carbonate of ammonia as a leav
ening agent in bread, or as need in bak
ing powders, came np for discussion, in
whioh Prof. Barker, of the Univeralty of
Pennsylvania, and President of the Soci
ety; Dr. Rlohardson, late of the United
States Department of Agrioultare In
Washington; Dr. William McMarrle, lata
Professor of Chemistry in the Universi
ty of Illinois; Dr. E. H. Bartley, late
Chemist of the Brooklyn, N. Y., Board
of Health, and Professor of Chemistry of
the Long Island College, and others,
took part.
The consensus of opinion was over
whelming In favor of the employment of
ammonia. It was stated aa a faot that
ammonia rendered the gluten of the floor
more soluble than the original gluten,
and that the broad in whioh this aotlon
was produoed by carbonate of ammonia
most be more digestible and henee more
healthful, and because of the extreme
volatility of carbonate of ammonia and
its complete expulsion from the bread in
the prooeie of bakipg, it is one of the
moot useful, moot healthful and most
valuable leavening agents known.
These conclusions are borne out by
the very elaborate and exhaustive expe
riments mode by Prof. J. W. Mallet, of
the Univeralty of Virginia, whioh show
conclusively that bread made with a
baking powder in whioh one per cent,
of carbonate of ammonia is used, in con
nection with cream of tartar and soda,
ie not only of uniformly better ooler and
texture, but a product more wholesome,
because the ammonia servee to neutra
lize any organlo or lectio acids present in
the flour.
